Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar at Disney Springs is serving Halloween-themed offerings this year, with chef Gary Miles drawing on unexpected presentations as much as flavor.
Miles, who helped create the bar’s first holiday menu in 2019, said the team’s approach has grown to include Halloween: familiar, current flavors delivered in unusual ways. Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is located in The Landing area of Disney Springs.
His favorite item on the current menu is the Candelabra Eggs, a dish of deviled eggs with crispy fried chicken, sweet-and-tart pepper sauce and aji amarillo custard. The presentation was central to the concept: the team wanted to serve the eggs in a candelabra-style vessel.
According to Miles, finding food-safe holders that fit the display took experimentation with items including cupcake liners and bamboo cones. The solution came from two-piece martini cups found in a storage room.
Miles arrived at Walt Disney World 28 years ago through the Disney Culinary Academy apprenticeship program. He now works at Disney Springs on dishes for Disney-owned restaurants across the property.
