2026 Grammys Menu Includes a 600-Pound Cheese Sculpture

The 68th annual Grammy Awards returns to Crypto.com Arena this Sunday (Feb. 1) and the Los Angeles venue is pulling out all the stops for its special guests. Along with concessionaire Levy Restaurants, the AEG-owned venue has curated a menu of special food and beverage options for their luxury suites, the exclusive Delta SKY360 Club and their post Grammy’s Gala event on the new City View Terrace.

The menu includes an opening act snack mix of tajin-dusted Corn Nuts, lime-salted popcorn, chili-dried mango and Doritos chile limon dinamita in honor of the arena’s Doritos After Dark restaurant. The luxury suites will also have access to duck carnitas flatbread with tapatio-cured egg yolk, fennel curtido, arugula, queso Oaxaca and a date balsamic reduction; mezcal braised beef short rib with fried potato wedges and garlic-fried rice; nopales Milanesa torta with crispy pan-fried cactus leaf, soyrizo nduja, and serrano citrus slaw; and a standout new item of tortilla kabobs with codigo lime marinated Mary’s Chicken, adobada grass-fed beef, salsa de Jamaica and matcha pistachio salsa seca.

Delta SKY360 Club invitees will be treated to pressed bluefin tuna crudo with pickled Jimmy Nardello pepper, chives and extra virgin olive oil, as well as “on-sen ramen” deviled eggs with char siu bacon, Szechuan chili crunch and negi gari shoga.

On Grammy night, Crypto.Com Arena is set to pour more than 2,000 glasses of champagne and serve 600 lbs. of short rib, 15,000 shrimp and 12,000 pieces of sushi. In addition, 640 lbs. of cheese will be served – some of which will be carvings from a 600 lb. block of cheese.

Cheese sculptor Sarah Kaufmann (also known as The Cheese Lady) is carving a 600 lb. block of New Mexico cheese to resemble the piano keys, trumpets, drums and other symbols to depict the many genres of the Grammy Awards. All the carvings will go to making artisan grilled cheeses at Sunday’s event.

Every year, the Grammy’s work with nonprofit organization Musically Fed to ensure that any unused catered food from the event is safely repurposed for nonprofit partners serving people facing food insecurity in the Los Angeles area. Following the awards ceremony and related events, prepared food is packaged on-site and delivered through Musically Fed’s established food rescue process, ensuring that no food goes to waste.

In 2024 and 2025, Musically Fed recovered the equivalent of 2,074 meals from Grammys-related events alone. Across all Los Angeles–area events in 2025, including the Grammy Awards, Musically Fed helped redirect 9,905 meals to local nonprofit partners.

The post-Grammys Gala event will feature sweet pea ravioli with carbonara mousse and crispy guanciale; dirty martini fries that include gin-soaked green olives and lemon salt; Manhattan chicken bites with bourbon, orange juice and brandied cherry BBQ sauce; as well as smoked salmon cannolis with chive crème fraîche, salmon roe and everything spice.

Grammy night at Crypto.com Arena will also feature signature cocktails. Specialty drinks include the Grammy 68, which is Perrier-Jouët champagne and blood orange caviar, and a chocolate and orange Manhattan made of Jefferson’s tropics whiskey, orange liqueur, coffee liqueur, a dash of chocolate bitters, sweet vermouth and a garnish of chocolate-dipped dehydrated orange.
