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.”
David Chang joins a prestigious lineup of culinary stars at Allegiant Stadium, which has quickly become a premier destination for elevated dining in Las Vegas. Guy Fieri, another renowned American chef and TV personality, brought his signature comfort food to the stadium with Guy's Flavortown Tailgate, offering fan favorites like burgers and sandwiches. Additionally, Sean Kinoshita, Executive Chef at Silver & Black Hospitality, has been at the helm since 2021, ensuring that Allegiant’s food offerings are nothing short of world-class. Kinoshita’s leadership has helped transform the stadium’s dining experience, offering fans access to gourmet options that elevate game-day meals beyond typical concessions.
Beyond its impressive roster of chefs, Allegiant Stadium is no stranger to high-profile culinary events. One notable example is the Culinary Kickoff Grand Prix, which took place in 2023 during Formula 1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix. The event saw world-class chefs and celebrities come together for an exclusive food and wine experience, further solidifying Allegiant Stadium's reputation as a top-tier culinary destination. These events, alongside the stadium’s regular dining offerings, position Allegiant as more than just a sports venue—it’s a place for gourmet experiences.
Allegiant Stadium is not only home to the Raiders but also a premier Las Vegas food destination that attracts some of the biggest names in the culinary world. Whether it’s savoring Fuku’s spicy fried chicken or indulging in Guy Fieri’s signature comfort food, there’s something for every taste at this world-class venue.
