UNIVERSAL Orlando has revealed what guests can expect from it’s ‘delivish’ new food and drink menu for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights.
Running from August 28 to November 1, the spooky event is one of the most popular Halloween events in the world.
And the theme park has since revealed the spooky new menu of food and drink that will be served – and it isn’t for the faint of heart.
There is the Rigatoni Ritual Pie, a take on a pizza with garlic butter, cheese, rigatoni a la vodka, crispy sausage and pesto on top.
Or there is the Jack & Odd Dog, a footlong hot dog with all the trimmings, including Flamin’ Hot® Cheetos® cheese, peppers and onion, on an unusual purple ube bun.
Or how about the Torn to Shreds Pork Sandwich, with smoked pork shoulder in a Hawaiian pretzel roll, complete with a spicy jalapeno slaw.
Other treats include a Fritos Walking Taco, along with Death Bringer Tempura Shrimp, Lasagna Burn and Birria Pizza Fries.
Sweet treats haven’t been forgotten about although you might want to close your eyes when eating.
The Meat Grinder Red Velvet is made up of ground up red velvet cake along with raspberry jam and puffed rice… designed to look like maggots.

SACRAMENTO — Two state lawmakers from Los Angeles want tougher penalties for disasters caused by industrial companies after a massive fire in Boyle Heights left neighbors struggling with smoky air and the smell of rotting meat.
Assemblymember Mark González and state Sen. María Elena Durazo, both Democrats, are seeking a new law that would require any new cold storage facility to create a contingency fund for emergencies.
The fund would be used to help neighbors mitigate the fallout from a disaster.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who is running for reelection, will appear with González and Durazo at an event Wednesday to discuss the proposed laws.
Lineage’s 500,000-square-foot food warehouse in Boyle Heights caught fire on June 17. The company blames a power company, which was working on the warehouse’s roof, for the blaze.
The company, Altus Power, has denied responsibility, stating that the cause is undetermined. The company accused Lineage of finger-pointing instead of focusing on community relief.
Noxious smoke and an influx of rats and flies attracted to rotting meat stored at the facility have tormented neighbors. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has cited Lineage for unsanitary and nuisance conditions related to rodent and pest control violations.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has issued at least 20 violation notices to Lineage for public nuisance.
Lineage recently applied for building permits to replace the site, which Bass called “a slap in the face” to Boyle Heights families.
A press release ahead of Wednesday’s news conference said the proposal by lawmakers “will ensure that Lineage can’t rebuild without being accountable to the community.”
González and Durazo plan to insert proposed legislation related to the Lineage fire into existing bills, a process known as “gut and amend.”
The politicians also want to allow for stiffer fines against companies following a disaster.
Their proposed legislation also would ensure that anyone who sues over the fire doesn’t have to pay state taxes on any settlement, and that local jurisdictions are responsible for pest extermination efforts.
Greg Lehmkuhl, president and chief executive of Lineage, said in a quarterly earnings call last week that the company has committed $3.3 million to the community in the aftermath of the fire.
“Safety remains our top priority, and I’m incredibly proud of our team and how they’re handling this very challenging situation,” Lehmkuhl said on the call.
