    Adventures by Disney: Japan — The First Few Days

    ByLisa June 8, 2025June 8, 2025

    Looking back at my journal from the ABD as I start these articles, and here’s what I wrote on the eve of the trip: “We’ve been waiting for this trip since early last year. It’s hard to believe it’s finally time. Prep was a ton of work—but I’m hoping that now that we’re actually headed…

    On Loving Japan…and Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival – Japan Booth

    ByLisa October 8, 2017June 30, 2018

    Japan is my jam. I’ve been intrigued by this fascinating, dichotomous culture since high school and borderline obsessed since college. I studied the language from my freshman year of college through my first year of law school (running from Japanese to civil procedure several mornings a week, trying desperately to switch my head back into…

SIX RAVENS IS OPEN. 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ A week and SIX RAVENS IS OPEN. 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

A week and change ago, my boys and I were invited to preview Steve Lewis’s newest creation at Disney Springs: a savory new sibling to Gideon’s Bakehouse filled with original characters, Gothic lore, and an opening menu built around house-made Coffyns. And now I can finally share it with you. 

What is a Coffyn? A soft, house-made yeast roll enclosing a savory meal, a popular pastry from hundreds of years ago. It was peasant food, bread stuffed with whatever was available and portable enough to carry to work.

We tried:

🐦‍⬛ The Villain of Valentina, a chicken Coffyn with enough garlic to keep you extremely safe from vampires. Delicious. But not recommended for first dates.

🐦‍⬛ The Imperial Idol, filled with curry-seasoned chicken and served with a creamy, herb-forward sauce.

🐦‍⬛ The Peasant’s Patty, a cheeseburger-style Coffyn that Tyson inhaled before I could get a decent photo.

We also tried the smashed potatoes with Steve’s honey mustard creation, an exclusive-to-Six-Ravens root beer designed not to sit on your palate and overwhelm the other flavors, and an absurdly rich raspberry-and-chocolate tart.

Like Gideon’s, the food is only one part of the experience. Every door handle, mural, and package tells a story. Steve already has plans for the characters you meet inside—including the Oracle watching over the registers.

He went on about tomatoes once being called Wolf Peaches.

It is that old-school “everything speaks” approach that we don’t get enough of these days.

Swipe through for our first look inside and everything we ate and drank.

Six Ravens and Gideon’s sitting side by side at Disney Springs are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

We were invited to attend a preview of Six Ravens. I was not paid for this coverage, and all opinions are my own.
