A new restaurant will be opening soon at EPCOT's American Adventure Pavilion. Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue will be the latest casual dining spot in the park. The restaurant is named after Sam Eagle, the Muppet known for his patriotism and strict sense of duty.

The smokehouse will be the home of "Sam's Centennial Cook-Off : A Salute to All Cook-Offs but Mostly Barbecue." The menu will include a variety of sandwiches and platters as well as several home-style craft brews from around the United States. Here are a few items to tempt your tastebuds.

• Sliced Texas beef brisket sandwich with house-made spicy mop sauce on garlic toast
• South Carolina smoked sausage sandwich with tangy mustard sauce and caramelized onions
• Kansas City smoked chicken
• Memphis dry-rub pork ribs
• North Carolina chopped smoked pork butt
• Power Greens Salad with chilled pulled chicken, fresh citrus, and a citrus vinaigrette
• All-American burger topped with BBQ pork and a fried onion ring
• Plant-based BBQ burger: a plant-based patty topped with BBQ jackfruit on vegan garlic toast

There will be several sauces to choose from as well: spicy mop sauce, sweet BBQ, tangy mustard, and a vinegar-based sauce. Sides include french fries, beer-battered onion rings, mac and cheese, baked beans with burnt ends, house-made pickles, and creamy slaw.

Kids can choose from a burger, BBQ chicken salad, BBQ chicken leg or chicken salad, and even a BBQ rib platter, all served with their choice of two sides.

And finally, desserts include banana pudding, s’mores brownie, or a cup of fresh watermelon garnished with torn mint.

New merchandise featuring Sam Eagle will also be available. The Regal Eagle Smokehouse is set to open later this winter.
