"It's the variety that keeps me at Disney," reflects Slocum, who grew up in a restaurant family in Allegany, N.Y., a small town about 70 miles south of Buffalo, where he was born in 1940.
"As I see it, we've opened 184 different concepts - as opposed to a thousand of the same thing," continues Slocum, who has no childhood memories of Walt Disney yet is credited with a key role in moving the Disney food image up from hot dogs and cotton candy to a new world of menu, service and design sophistication and to new heights in culinary achievement and healthful dining.
In the fine-dining spectrum, Slocum's people wrote a contract with three of France's most visible culinarians - Paul Bocuse, Roger Verge and Gaston Lenotre - to deliver Michelin Guide three-star-caliber lunches and dinners at the 162-seat Chefs de France in Epcot Center's World Showcase.
