Honda Center Serves Up Playoff-Ready Menu for Ducks Fans

The Honda Center is turning up the energy as the Anaheim Ducks head into the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, with a lineup of limited-time food and drinks designed for game nights at home.

Beginning with Game 3 on Friday, April 24 at 7 p.m., when the Ducks face the Edmonton Oilers, ticketed guests can expect a menu that goes well beyond standard arena fare. The offerings lean into bold flavors, playful nods to hockey culture, and a few over-the-top indulgences that feel right for the moment.

Executive Chef Cesar Regalado has built a menu that mixes longtime crowd favorites with new additions created just for the playoff run. The goal is simple. Match the intensity on the ice with something equally memorable off it.

Standouts include the Bar Down Brisket Plate, an 18-hour smoked brisket served with mac and cheese, pickled vegetables and cornbread, and the Breakaway Brisket Burger layered with candied bacon, white cheddar and house-made pickles. The Power Play Orange Chicken Bowl and the Orange Country Spiral Potato bring a lighter, fast-paced option for fans who do not want to miss a minute of the game.

Desserts and drinks are just as dialed in. The Paint It Orange Soft Serve arrives dipped in orange-colored white chocolate, while the Wild Wing’s Banana Split is built for sharing. On the beverage side, cocktails like The Rally Margarita with Herradura tequila and the Power Play Punch with Tito’s Handmade Vodka add a celebratory edge, alongside the Overtime Cold Brew topped with orange zest and cold foam.

The menu is part of the larger Honda Center Encore transformation, a $1 billion privately funded project led by the Samueli family to elevate the overall guest experience. Recent upgrades have introduced new concession concepts and expanded premium food options throughout the arena.

Under Regalado’s direction, the food and beverage program continues to evolve, with new items debuting throughout the season and many selling out shortly after doors open. For the playoffs, that momentum carries into a lineup that feels just as high energy as the games themselves.

Items are available throughout the arena at select locations and are subject to change based on availability.

Candace Bushnell Brings One-Woman Show to South Coast Repertory

Candace Bushnell, the voice behind Sex and the City, is headed to South Coast Repertory for a special one-weekend engagement of her one-woman show, Candace Bushnell: True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex and the City. 

The benefit production runs Saturday, May 30 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday, May 31 at 2 p.m., with a host committee that includes Stephanie Argyros, Elizabeth Segerstrom, Jane Yada, Wendy Hales and Paula Tomei.

The show shares how Bushnell created Sex and the City, along with the highs and lows of her life as a single woman in New York, and how the story evolved into a television series that became a global phenomenon.

Each performance includes a pre-show shopping experience with South Coast Plaza brand partners on-site, along with themed cocktails and photo moments.

Ticket options include several VIP packages. A limited VIP Meet and Greet package, priced at $425, includes premiere seating, a pre-show reception with drinks and an onstage champagne meet and greet with Bushnell. Additional ticket levels include preferred seating with a drink ticket and general reserved seating, all with access to the pre-show shopping experience.

Bushnell began her career writing a column for the New York Observer, which became the best-selling Sex and the City anthology. The HBO series, inspired by her work, ran for six seasons and helped shape conversations around fashion, relationships and female independence.

Tickets are now on sale at scr.org, or by calling the SCR Box Office at (714) 708-5555

South Coast Repertory is located at 655 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa.
