“With Carnival at the heart of the event, we celebrate the vibrant spirit of international cuisine, and the bold, joyful flavors our cultures bring to the table. Our goal is to craft dishes that not only excite the palate but also make every guest feel welcomed, included, and part of the celebration,” Chef Robert Martinez, Director of Culinary Operations and Executive Chef at Universal Orlando Resort, who leads the team behind the Mardi Gras food offerings, told Refinery29.
As a vegan, I enjoyed the vegan sausage and red beans at the New Orleans kiosk and toasted with Piña Coladas from the Puerto Rico booth with my date. “We focused on countries known for incredible Carnival celebrations and chose dishes that allowed us to showcase live fire cooking at its best. That’s why we brought in items like Puerto Rican pinchos, Brazilian picanha, and our show‑stopping Chile booth, where we fire‑grill fresh Verlasso salmon on custom‑built grills. It creates an energy, a smell, and a flavor that completely immerses our guests,” Martinez added.
