Allegiant Stadium’s Culinary Scene Grows with David Chang’s Fuku

‍David Chang, the renowned chef behind Momofuku Noodle Bar, has expanded his spicy fried chicken concept, Fuku, into Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Chang, who first gained fame in 2004 with the opening of Momofuku Noodle Bar, has since become a culinary icon. His influence extends beyond the kitchen as the star of a hit Netflix series like "Ugly Delicious" and "The Next Thing You Eat" on Hulu, where he explores global food cultures and the future of dining. With Fuku's arrival at Allegiant Stadium, fans can now enjoy an exciting food experience that goes beyond traditional stadium fare.

Fuku's arrival in Las Vegas is part of a broader expansion, with the brand now boasting 23 locations across 15 major sports and entertainment venues in the U.S. “Our growth plan is laser-focused to expand Fuku's footprint at the best sports and entertainment venues, and with Allegiant Stadium, we now have 23 locations at 15 major venues across the country,” said Claudia Lezcano, CEO of Fuku. “We’re very grateful for our partnership with Silver & Black Hospitality, which allows us to serve even more fans here in Las Vegas.”
