Celebrate Black Heritage Month With Special Dishes at Universal Orlando Resort

February is serving more than vibes at Universal Orlando Resort, because Black Heritage Month is being honored through bold flavors, meaningful stories, and dishes rooted in tradition across the parks and CityWalk. Food has always been a powerful expression of Black heritage, and Universal’s chefs are once again putting culture on the plate with creations inspired by family, history, and home.

Over at Confisco Grille, guests can dig into a Southern Banana Pudding crafted by Chef Antwan, a comforting classic topped with airy meringue and vanilla wafers that pays tribute to his mother and Southern Black American roots.

In Universal CityWalk, dessert lovers can snag the Coconut Cream Pie doughnut at Voodoo Doughnut, created by senior cooks Briana Paul and Mika Rivera, featuring coconut cream pie filling inside a yeast doughnut dressed with vanilla icing, graham crackers, and coconut velvet topping.

Authenticity takes center stage at Bob Marley – A Tribute to Freedom, where Chef Carlton Hull brings Jamaican Fish Tea to life with red snapper, Scotch bonnet peppers, seasonal vegetables, and bammy, recreating a dish straight from his childhood in Kingston.

Also in CityWalk, VIVO Italian Kitchen serves up Braised Beef Short Ribs by Senior Chef Nahum Flerzile, paired with popcorn polenta, ham hock, braised mustard greens, and a mole cola reduction that brings deep, soulful flavor.
