The menu promises a lineup of creative, flavor-packed hot dogs, Italian ices and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The venture is backed by Mulvi Group, Mulvihill\u2019s Orlando-based entertainment management and production company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Fat One\u2019s isn\u2019t a newcomer to the Orlando food scene. The concept got its start as a permanent kiosk at The Florida Mall in 2016, then hit the road as a mobile food truck operation in 2018 before landing its biggest stage yet at CityWalk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The first 100 guests through the door will score a wristband for one free hot dog \u2014 served by Fatone himself. Doors open at 10 a.m., wristbands are first-come, first-served, and space is limited, so set that alarm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">\u201cCome hungry and help us celebrate!\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DdRQIoLRu2K\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DdRQIoLRu2K\/?hl=en\">Mulvi Group posted on Instagram<\/a> ahead of the big day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Fatone will also stick around for photos following the free hot dog service \u2014 for a limited time.<\/p>\n<p>In the Loop: Theme Park Scoops<img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\"  style=\"object-fit:cover;width:234px;height:50px\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789479249_476_wkmg_themeparks.jpeg\" width=\"234\" height=\"50\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf eUxjKG\">Sign up for the ClickOrlando.com In the Loop: Theme Park Scoops newsletter, sent every Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Universal CityWalk Orlando\u2019s hottest new food spot is officially opening its doors, and you just&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[575,1335,139,141,140,2411,18704,3434],"class_list":["post-400451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-food","tag-orange-county","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-theme-parks","tag-universal-citywalk","tag-universal-orlando"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
