In celebration of the new DreamWorks film "Dog Man," Universal Orlando Resort has introduced an array of dog-inspired culinary offerings at its DreamWorks Imagination Cafe. Visitors can now indulge in a peculiar yet intriguing menu that includes a canine-themed pasta dish and a tennis ball-shaped cupcake.
The Ruff Mix Mac and Cheese, priced at $12.99, offers a playful twist on traditional comfort food. Served in a container reminiscent of wet dog food cans, this dish features curly pasta with a beef-based sauce. While it may not be the most cheesy macaroni and cheese, it provides a unique dining experience. However, some guests have noted that the flavor is rather plain, lacking seasoning and spice. Despite its creative presentation, opinions remain divided on whether it's worth trying.
Complementing the savory option is the Greg the Dog Tennis Ball, a moist vanilla cupcake adorned with smooth peanut butter mousse. Priced at $6.49, this dessert aims to capture the essence of a classic tennis ball with its appearance. The peanut butter topping adds a rich flavor, though it might be too strong for those who aren't fond of peanut butter. The jelly filling inside brings a nice balance, but the overall sweetness and the less-than-accurate resemblance to a tennis ball leave room for improvement.
The release of "Dog Man" on January 31 marks a significant milestone for fans of the graphic novel series. As Universal continues to innovate with themed experiences, these treats serve as a delightful reminder of the creativity and fun that come with celebrating beloved characters. Whether or not these items become fan favorites, they certainly add an extra layer of excitement and entertainment to the park experience, encouraging visitors to explore and enjoy the imaginative world brought to life by Universal Orlando Resort.
