A brand-new competition series starts this week on Disney+ with Be Our Chef, hosted by Angela Kinsey. In addition to new episodes of ongoing exclusives, the service adds five library titles on April 1st and it’s not a joke. Our Library Highlights this week celebrates a different holiday every day through Disney+ and we’re celebrating the launch of Be Our Chef with some films and shorts starring some of Disney’s most lovable chefs.
