Netflix fans eagerly await the arrival of Stranger Things Season 5. As anticipation builds for the release of the first trailer, Netflix has devised a unique way to keep fans engaged—a culinary journey through the Upside Down.
While details about the upcoming season remain scarce, the internet buzzes with excitement and speculation. With filming concluded, the highly anticipated season is slated for a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere. However, as fans eagerly await the trailer reveal, Netflix has cooked up a tantalizing treat to satiate their appetite—an immersive food experience dubbed Netflix Bites.
Drawing inspiration from iconic moments in Stranger Things and other hit Netflix series, Netflix Bites offers fans a chance to savor their favorite shows in a whole new way. Similar to the viral success of McDonald’s Squid Game Happy Meal and the Dalgona Candy challenge, Netflix showcases its prowess in transforming food into a cultural phenomenon. From Eleven’s beloved Eggo Waffles to Surfer Boy Pizza from Season 4, food has played a pivotal role in the storytelling of Stranger Things.
Netflix Bites takes this concept to the next level with a Las Vegas pop-up restaurant at MGM Grand. Featuring a curated menu with dishes from Stranger Things, Squid Game, Bridgerton, and more, the experience transports diners into the worlds of their favorite shows, one bite at a time.
Before Stranger Things, Eggo Waffles were just another breakfast item until Eleven immortalized them on screen. The show’s clever integration of food into its narrative captivated audiences, leading to partnerships with brands like Kellogg’s and Walmart for real-world products inspired by the series.
Surfer Boy Pizza, introduced in Season 4, quickly became a fan favorite with its humorous character and fictional pizza chain. Netflix capitalized on its popularity by launching real Surfer Boy frozen pizzas, sparking a frenzy on social media platforms like TikTok. Now, with Netflix Bites, the concept of fictional food becomes a full-fledged dining experience, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
At Netflix Bites, fans can indulge in dishes like Eleven’s Feast—a towering stack of waffles with bacon and fried chicken, or the Surfer Boy Pizza lineup featuring unique flavors. The menu also includes nods to other popular Netflix series, like Bridgerton’s Regency Tea and a Squid Game-inspired fried chicken challenge.
With production wrapped on Stranger Things Season 5, viewers eagerly await news of the official release date. In the meantime, Netflix Bites offers a taste of Hawkins and other beloved Netflix shows, keeping fans engaged and excited for what’s to come.
So, if you’re craving a unique culinary adventure into the world of your favorite Netflix series, Netflix Bites at MGM Grand awaits. Book your reservations now and get ready to feast on a menu inspired by the best of Netflix.
