Millions will travel to Paris to join in on the excitement of the 2024 Olympic Games, which will be held from July 26 through August 11. But for those of us who can’t be there in person to watch the games and celebrate the world-class athletes, we’ve rounded up a list of shops and restaurants celebrating with fun food and drink tie-ins.
ButcherBox: In honor of the Olympics, ButcherBox is teaming up with former Olympic runner and mental health advocate, Alexi Pappas to curate a special ButcherBox, all themed to represent what this athlete uses to help fuel her for race day. The Ready, Get Set, Grill! Box by Alexi Pappas, which launched July 23, includes filet mignons, steak tips, boneless chicken thighs (boneless, skinless), wild-caught sockeye salmon, scallops and ground bison.
California Pizza Kitchen: In honor of the Olympics, CPK is offering a Red, White + Blue Butter Cake. This limited-time dessert features CPK’s signature warm butter cake, topped with a mix of fresh strawberries and blueberries, and white vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream.
Chipotle: Beginning July 25, enjoy your go-to burrito order with a bit of Olympic pizzazz – it'll be wrapped in gold foil. The chain will also be honoring American athletes with a digital menu featuring favorite orders of basketball shooting guard Anthony Edwards, soccer player Sophia Smith, tennis player Taylor Fritz, beach volleyball player Sara Hughes and skateboarder Jagger Eaton.

Krispy Kreme: Start your day with a Parisian-inspired doughnut. The Passport to Paris doughnut collection is available for a limited time and is inspired by iconic Parisian desserts, such as Crème Brûlée, Double Chocolate Éclair and Raspberry and Vanilla Crème. There’s also a limited-time Crème Brûlée Latte available, which comes garnished with whipped cream and caramelized sugar crunch.
Le Parfait Paris: Perfect for a brunch-themed viewing party, this baker chain is offering a limited-edition Olympic inspired gluten-free treat. The Eiffel Tower Noisette is made with hazelnut and crunchy praline biscuit, milk and dark chocolate cremeux and Gianduja mousse.
LPM Restaurant & Bar: For a limited time, LPM’s signature vanilla cheesecake with berry compote is decked out for the Olympics, via the addition of a glazed garnish of the event’s ring emblem. Much like the athletes who travel from across the globe to participate in the games, this dessert is available in Las Vegas at The Cosmopolitan as well as Miami, London, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Riyadh, Limassol, Doha and Mykonos.
Red Robin: Red Robin’s new Gold Medal Burger was created to weigh approximately the same as an Olympic gold medal (around 1.25 pounds). It comes primed for a hearty athletic appetite – it’s three patties, three slices of cheese, lettuce, fresh tomatoes and Red’s Relish between two brioche buns (another Paris tie-in!). It’s also an Olympic competition of sorts: Anyone who manages to finish the burger earns the chance to be featured on Red Robin’s Gold Medal Burger Hall of Fame.
Smoothie King: To celebrate the Olympics, Smoothie King is bringing back $5 Friday for one day only. On Friday, July 26, all 32-oz smoothies will be available for just $5. Smoothie King Healthy Rewards members will also earn triple points on this date. This deal is not valid on 32-ounce Dude Perfect Smoothies.
Tiff’s Treats: This cookie brand is honoring the Olympic games with a specialty Red, White and Blue sprinkle cookies available through the end of July. These cookies are freshly baked sugar cookies with iridescent red, white and blue crystal.
