In the ever-expanding culinary landscape of Disney Springs, Gideon's Bakehouse, known for its mammoth-sized cookies, is about to introduce a new savory concept to its gastronomic lineup. In honor of their five-year presence at the location, Gideon's owner Steve Lewis has announced the forthcoming opening of Six Ravens, a shop set to specialize in "coffyns"—a term derived from historical hand pies.
According to Orlando Weekly, the collaboration doesn't stop at the kitchen door; Lewis has teamed up with local culinary talents such as Eliot Hillis and Seth Parker of Red Panda Noodle and Bruno Zacchini of Pizza Bruno to elevate the hand pie offerings, and the shop is slated to occupy the space formerly housing The Art of Shaving, just steps away from Gideon's Bakehouse, promising to introduce park-goers to a slice of Orlando's local flavors. The collaboration between Lewis and local chefs marks a continued partnership philosophy, echoing his beginnings at Disney Springs, where he started as a secret menu item at the Polite Pig, aiming to feature local culinary expertise on the global stage.
Adding to the savory selection at Six Ravens are smashed potato fritters accompanied by an array of dips—one being a legendary honey mustard recipe touted by Lewis himself. Drinks are also on the menu, with beer collaborations in the works with Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig Brewing Co., all presented within an environment curated by Gideon's Bakehouse art director Michael Reyes, and designed in partnership with Studio 407.
Although Lewis has yet to unveil the full menu details, teasing morsels of information have begun to circulate, including a potential chicken curry coffyn by Hillis; the full flavor revelations are expected to drop incrementally as the Q3 opening approaches, with beer and sweets among the anticipated offerings, as WDW News Today shared. Patrons eager to follow the development of Six Ravens and its culinary narrative can do so via the concept's Instagram handle, @six.ravens, where Lewis has promised to share more about the journey and offer behind-the-scenes peeks into this new venture.
