Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri is partnering with the new Planet Hollywood Observatory to create a burger and sandwich menu for the relaunched restaurant.

Robert Earl, the entrepreneur, restaurateur and star of the Cooking Channel's "Robert Earl's Be My Guest," reached out to Fieri because of their shared passion for food. In addition to the section of the menu designed by Fieri, the Planet Hollywood Observatory will soon reveal the entire new menu.

"Guy Fieri has created an impressive culinary empire and has built an incredible TV following with several food-themed shows, so it was a no-brainer to invite him to create a special menu for Planet Hollywood Observatory. This partnership only furthers our commitment to refresh our guest experience while continuing to offer freshly-prepared, pleasing dishes," said Planet Hollywood International Founder and Chairman Robert Earl.

Fieri, a chef, entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author, has created dishes such as the Prime Time American Kobe-Inspired Burger and the Turkey Pic-a-nic Sandwich, a perfect accompaniment to Planet Hollywood's hand-dipped milkshakes.

"It's awesome to be working with Robert Earl and the Planet Hollywood Team," states Fieri. "For the Planet Hollywood Observatory, I'm bringing a big time burger and sandwich menu with real deal flavors for everyone."

The Planet Hollywood Observatory is currently under construction, and is expected to open in the Fall of 2016.

There is only one reason to eat at PH, captain Crunch chicken.

Looks like you nailed it!

Have they announced an opening yet? Any updates on construction? I will be there at the end of August and would've liked to try it... but that ain't happening I guess... and will this be the '"Chicken Guy' QS restaurant I've been reading about? it seems they have been interviewing/hiring staff since the end of June...

There will always be people who gravitate towards the known and familiar. When my parents go with us to WDW, each trip I make them try one or two new restaurants. Otherwise they settle into the same ADR's each time. Some people could have the choice between a five star restaurant and a McDonalds and pick the Happy Meal.

How many chain restaurants does Disney Springs need anyway? They were fine earlier now but now that Disney's upped their game culinary-wise, it seems odd that there's still these holdouts restaurants.

While not a huge fan of PH, I do like their Burger from Guy. They are superior to D-Luxe. I have notice there is a bunch of unused space on the first floor exterior as you walk towards the covered area of Town Center. I wonder if this will be where the new quick service will be incorporated into? Edit: Just saw the construction. yes, this is exactly the area I was thinking. Good. It always looked like a vacated strip mall spot.

Wonder if this was something that had always been planned as a phase two after they got the major referb well out of the way or if they're responding to the obvious demand for more options in the area and finding use for the existing space they already have for that.

"It would help if you read the title of the picture article KB..." Sorry! I had a blonde moment. They happen once in a while.

I don't care as long as it has my captain crunch chicken. :hungry:

Wait. What does this mean exactly? I'm kind of confused. "Although Planet Hollywood has yet to make a formal announcement, plans were filed late February 2018 for an "Interior alteration for a new restaurant within an existing restaurant." Is this going to be another bar?

Now you can get their crappy food TWO ways! 🙂
