While Grand Theft Auto 6’s release date remains uncertain, fans can indulge in The Unofficial Grand Theft Auto Cookbook: Street Eats and Luxe Treats, launching October 28, 2025. Written by Jarrett Melendez—known for his Persona and Borderlands cookbooks—this collection reimagines dishes from the franchise’s iconic in-game eateries.
A Taste of the GTA Universe
Publisher Insight Editions offers a sneak peek at recipes inspired by major cities across the GTA series, blending real-world culinary influences with the game’s signature criminal flair. The book’s playful presentation pairs dishes with thematic props like bullets, cash, and throwing stars, while step-by-step instructions keep cooking accessible.
Featured Recipes
- Cluckin’ Bell Chicken Fingers & Fries
A nod to the fast-food chain, this recipe brines chicken in pickle juice for 1–12 hours, coats it in buttermilk and hot sauce, and fries it to crispy perfection. Vinegar-dusted fries complete the meal. - Nutsaki Matcha Cheesecake
Inspired by Los Santos’ upscale café, this dessert blends ceremonial-grade matcha with cream cheese, vanilla, and a graham cracker crust. After 30 minutes of prep, it chills for four hours—ideal for patient heist planners. - Pink Flamingo Cocktail
A Vice City specialty, this frozen mix of strawberries, coconut milk, lime, and rum packs a tropical punch. Garnished with flamingo straws, it’s best enjoyed far from any in-game car chases.
