10 times the Met Gala menu was as dramatic as the outfits
No gala is ever complete without its culinary delicacies! Where is the bar counter for you and your newfound bestie to bond over? What cocktails are they serving? A group huddle of fashionistas without a big old round table of tempting appetizers and finger-licking good food? Unimaginable! Naturally, the Met Gala – although fashion's biggest night does several things differently from any other event – doesn't go off its rails with the food! Yes, there are 'reasonable' restrictions when it comes to certain elements on the food menu. However, it won't be right to say that there isn't abundance and elegance on the food menu of the Met Gala! Here are the top 10 delicacies that have ruled the food menu of the Met Gala over the years. Take a look! All about the good food! Now, it's quite difficult to pinpoint a definitive "top 10" as the Met Gala menu is highly customized and often changes year to year. However, some unique and memorable dishes that have appeared on past menus include items like hot chow with coconut buttermilk cornbread, black rice porcini arancini, watermelon tart with smoked yuzu soy, and dishes featuring ingredients like roasted maitake mushrooms and apple mousse. Here's a more detailed look at some unique dishes: Hot chow with coconut buttermilk cornbread: A dish that blends Southern and Asian flavors, likely featuring a creamy coconut milk base and a cornbread with a unique coconut and buttermilk twist. Black rice porcini arancini: This dish takes the classic arancini and elevates it with the earthy flavor of porcini mushrooms and the interesting texture of black rice. Watermelon tart with smoked yuzu soy: A unique and refreshing dessert that combines the sweetness of watermelon with the tartness of yuzu and the smokiness of soy sauce, creating a complex and memorable taste. Roasted maitake mushrooms: These mushrooms, known for their earthy flavor and unique texture, are often featured in dishes that are both flavorful and visually appealing. Apple mousse: A light and airy dessert, often featuring a hint of cinnamon or other spices, that provides a refreshing end to the meal. Chilled spring pea soup with baby vegetables, lemon crème fraîche, and truffle snow: A light and refreshing soup featuring seasonal vegetables and a luxurious truffle snow for a touch of elegance. Ōra King salmon with vegetable nage, asparagus, pickled strawberries, and radish: A main course that showcases the quality and flavor of Ōra King salmon, served with a delicate vegetable broth and a variety of seasonal accompaniments. Creamy barley with corn, pickled turnips, and roasted maitake: A dish that combines the hearty flavor of barley with the sweetness of corn and the unique textures of pickled turnips and roasted maitake mushrooms. The fresh take in 2025: This year, the 'Young Black Chef' Kwame Onwuachi is serving the stars at the Met Gala. The Tatiana and Dogon-famed chef, who specializes in African and Caribbean dishes with an American garnish – hence, giving it a multicultural New York vibe – has already made his name for his unique and finger-licking delicacies! Some of his signature dishes include Shawarma-Roasted Chicken over Turmeric Rice, Egusi Stew with goat (or other proteins), and Escovitch Snapper. He's also known for dishes like Oxtail and Crab Rangoon, Short Rib Pastrami Suya, and Curried Honey Butter Cornbread. Onwuachi's culinary style is also characterized by his attention to presentation, with his dishes often plated in a way that resembles wearable art. Needless to say, his food menu for the Met Gala 2025 will only be elevated by that!
