**The PYM Kitchen** is the setting for the restaurant of the same name in Avengers Campus at Walt Disney Studios Park.

## Description

The PYM Kitchen is a high-tech restaurant located at the Avengers Campus in Paris, France. The kitchen is run by by the California science and technology company, PYM Technologies. The kitchen serves the primary purpose of experimenting with Pym Particles on food, growing it to larger proportions while shrinking to ship higher quantities of food and produce less waste. Food within the Test Kitchen is often served with scientific paraphernalia such as test-tubes and scientific documents.

The outside of the kitchen is primarily made of concrete, with a more contemporary entrance as-well as a round dining-area visible from the outside. Visible from the outside are large tubes carrying Pym Particles to the main kitchen. There is also an enlarged red Pym Particle disc resting along the building outside of the kitchen, with a smaller blue disk stuck on.

### Features

* **Entry Tunnel**: The entrance tunnel to the facility resembles Pym Tech's Quantum Tunnel device. This might imply that the interior of the kitchen is actually smaller than it appears, and that guests are shrunken upon entry.

## History

### Background

#### Pym Labs

This building used to be a station for *Pym Labs*, when the land served as a work complex for Stark Industries. The lab was run by Hank Pym, the founder of Pym Technologies who doubled as the super-hero, "Ant-Man".

#### Avengers Campus

In the late 2010s/2020s, Howard Stark's son Tony Stark turned the land into the second, "Avengers Campus" in the Global Avengers Initiative. In the first Avengers Campus, Pym Tech affiliated super-heroes Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man and Hope van Dyne AKA the Wasp had created a, "PYM Test Kitchen" to experiment with serving grown and shrunken foods, an idea created by Scott's daughter Cassie. Due to the success of the PYM Test Kitchen, Tony Stark contacted Wasp about making a, "PYM Kitchen" successor in *Avengers Campus Paris*. By the point that the PYM Kitchen opened, Pym Tech had begun running farms using Pym Particles.

The Kitchen was sometimes invaded by Spider-Bots created by Peter Parker in the nearby facility for the *Worldwide Engineering Brigade*. It is possible that there was an incident recorded by Cassie in-which three Spider-Bots infiltrated the kitchen causing trouble.

On the night of one of these incidents, Spider-Bots were observed by Captain America's drone Redwing and identified as, "Intruders". Spider-Man saw Redwing and requested its assistance in hunting down and stopping one of the Spider-Bots. After searching throughout different locations at the campus, Redwing found it within the PYM Kitchen leading to its destruction, being seen crushed under the boot of Captain Marvel. Following this, security cameras noted an unknown item which was left behind in the PYM Kitchen.

Pym Labs is noted in the 1950s blueprints for the campus, visible in the queue.

## Trivia

* Ironically, as Pym Particles are not real the Walt Disney Company produces higher quantities of food-waste due to this restaurant's enlarged food gimmick.
* In both the comics and the films, applying PYM Particles to food and drink would be problematic due to prolonged exposure to them sometimes causing insanity in their users.
