Heres a look at a fun level of immersion from Universals Epic Universe that youll be able to taste when the park opens May 22: cuisine created to bring you into the worlds of Nintendo, Universal Monsters Dark Universe, How to Train Your Dragons Isle of Berk, and more. Were ready for all the weird fandom flavors represented in this intriguing grub. Universal Monsters Dark Universe Universal Destinations & Experiences The Universal Monsters themed land will have its own Burning Blade Tavernyes, named for the bar featured in Frankenstein. So, of course the most properly weird food will be at Dark Universe: it all looks like straight-up Dr. Frankenstein lab creations. A black bun is just asking for a bathroom fright in a few days (food coloring can have certain fun side effects), but well chance it for the blood orange chicken sandwich from Das Stakehaus. Theres even a vegan option, delightfully named Our Favorite Vegan Familiars Stuffed Cabbage, that features impossible meat wrapped in tender cabbage leaves nestled in a rich bell pepper tomato sauce and accompanied by a vibrant beet bucatini. But its the meat on a stakethat really tickled us; theres a few options for protein and veggies on a stake in case you encounter a vampire while nomming. How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk Universal Destinations & Experiences Less spooky but more cute is the dining for the Isle of Berk, the Viking kingdom from How to Train Your Dragon. Thankfully theres no dragon meat on the menuphew! There is a fun Viking family platter with all the meats of land and sea. For tiny dragon riders theres a chocolate mousse dessert shaped like a fish inspired by Stormflys favorite pastime, fishing. Super Nintendo World Universal Destinations & Experiences Food levels up at Super Nintendo World. The popular Bowsers Fireball Challenge will finally make its way to the East Coast; its already a staple at Universal Studios Hollywoods Toadstool Cafe. New will be more Instagram-worthy treats such as Yoshis Apple Melon Smoothie, which will be bright green like the character and feature popping boba and whipped cream. And theres the Mario Bros. specialty burger and chicken sandwich (pesto for Luigi of course!).
