Universal Studios' Fan Fest Nights Honors Star Trek for Most Unusual Dish Creation
Get ready, fellow fans! Universal Studios Hollywood's Fan Fest Nights 2025 is bringing an unusual, yet amazing, mix of drinks and eats inspired by various epic universes. Picture yourself experiencing your beloved franchises like never before, with attractions, sights, merch, and delectable deliciousness. This year's lineup includes Star Trek, One Piece, Super Mario Bros., Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dungeons & Dragons.
And boy, do they go all out! Universal Creative has truly outdone themselves with the Ceti Eel Margarita from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. While some tequilas still come with a worm for added flavor, Universal Studios has taken things to a whole new level. This drink arrives with an eerie taste of danger, a chilling reminder of the horrifying scene where Khan plants the eel under Chekov's skin. Just thinking about it makes us quiver, and we can't wait to try it during the event, keeping our ears open for that spine-tingling spiciness.
Here are some other Star Trek delicacies to anticipate, as we were lucky enough to sample a few at a press event earlier in the week:
- "Klingon Targ Legs" served in a hearty rice bowl—our personal favorite from the menu!
- A scrumptious "Tribble Truffle Trio" for dessert
Moving on to the "weird but awesome" food category, One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen are right up there with Star Trek.
One Piece fans can rejoice at the possibility of devouring GUM GUM Devil Fruit in the form of Mexican concha. Unfortunately, we were unable to taste this mouthwatering treat at the press event but trust us when we say it's simply fantastic to imagine the detail put into recreating this stretchy-powered snack.
While details aren't quite as elaborate for Jujutsu Kaisen, rumors suggest a variety of cursed treats inspired by the many entities that plague our beloved Yuji. Get ready to indulge in churros for hands, a spiky pink frosted haired brownie cake, and the signature dish of the entity's mouth.
Don't miss out on these tantalizing treats, exclusively available during the Universal Studios Hollywood Fan Fest Nights. This is the perfect opportunity to truly immerse yourself in your fandom!
