Star Trek Wins for Weirdest Food at Universal Studios Fan Fest Nights

Universal Studios Hollywood’s Star Trek food leads the pack of uniquely bizarre (but on brand) drinks and munchies inspired by different fandom universes for Fan Fest Nights 2025. The after-hours FFN (like Halloween Horror Nights) will invite fans to experience their favorite franchises on every level: experiences, sights, in-universe merch, and tasty treats. This year’s slate of FFN will include offerings from Star Trek, One Piece, Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros., Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dungeons & Dragons.

But we really have to hand it to Universal Creative for going beyond with the Ceti Eel Margarita. Yes, those Ceti eels from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.

The margarita makes absolute sense since some tequilas still have a worm in the bottle for better flavor, but the here the Trek universe version comes with a hint of ear crawling danger. It’s shudder worthy thinking of the scene where Khan gets one buried under Chekov’s skin to torture him. We can’t wait to try this at the event and will let you know if it’s ear-bleeding spicy.

Other Trek dishes will include the “Klingon Targ Legs” in a hearty rice bowl, my favorite of the menu items we got to try at a press event earlier this week. On the dessert side of things there will be a “Tribble Truffle Trio.” You can see a few more options in the images below.

Following closely behind in the “weird but cool” foodie category are One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen.

Yes, GUM GUM Devil Fruit will be available in Mexican concha form. We weren’t able to taste this one but are so excited by the detail that went into bringing this stretchy power confection to life. Here’s the rest of the One Piece food, which is sadly missing a Sanji touch.

And last but not least, treats inspired by the many curses of Sakuna from Jujutsu Kaisen on Yuji’s body, like churros for hands, a spiky pink frosted haired brownie cake, and the signature mouth of the entity.

Try these treats out for yourself as part of the special menus only available during Universal Studios Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.
