With just 100 days until the grand opening, Universal Orlando has revealed the mouth-watering menu for the Universal Epic Universe, the brand new multi-world theme park experience that includes the horror and monster-themed Dark Universe.
Opening to the public on May 22, the Epic Universe consists of five immersive new worlds, including Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk and the aforementioned Dark Universe, which features rides and animatronics (described as “some of the most visceral, powerful, and fast-moving animated figures ever created,”) based on Wolf Man, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and more.
While exploring Dark Universe's Darkmoor, guests will find the ghastly dining locations Das Stakehaus, The Burning Blade Tavern and De Lacey’s Cottage, with the available menu reading as follows:
- Stakes (Das Stakehaus) – guests can sink their teeth into a scrumptious meal on a stake with a choice of three protein options – Fish on a Stake (blackened salmon steak), Bird on a Stake (grilled dry rubbed chicken tenderloin) or Bits and Pieces (seared and glazed wild mushroom brisket meatloaf) – all served with roasted veggies and charred green onion mashed potatoes
- “Blood” Orange Chicken Sandwich (Das Stakehaus) – flash-fried marinated chicken breast tossed in a tantalizing blood orange sauce served in a sinister black bun with tangy pickles, a slaw and crispy fries
- Our Favorite Vegan Familiar’s Stuffed Cabbage (VG) (Das Stakehaus) – featuring impossible meat wrapped in tender cabbage leaves nestled in a rich bell pepper tomato sauce and accompanied by a vibrant beet bucatini
- Hunter’s Garlic Stake (The Burning Blade Tavern) – a crispy cheesy garlic pretzel perfectly prepared to a golden brown served with a rich garlic dipping sauce
If the descriptions alone weren't enough to get you salivating, check out more photos below of some of the delicious dishes on offer. For more information on Epic Universe (and to check out the other worlds' equally delicious food offerings), head over to the official Universal Orlando site.
