Well, Markwise had a few favorite films that I have NEVER heard of. . .
I have to say that I love that they wound up making a dish based on "A Christmas Story" and that one of the other top dishes was inspired by "Top Secret."
Zoi was out of line. I got the feeling that she didn't taste the dish so couldn't possibly know.
I have to add that I thought that this challenge was right up your alley, Jessica. I immediately thought of your annual Oscar Night party with the movie-themed food.

"Crazy Bad" isn't that obscure, and "To Kill A Mockingbird" is a classic, although I'd be hard-pressed to guess what you'd come up with.
I'm surprised no one did a food-inspired film like "Ratatouille." Manuel came close to picking a food-based film with "Like Water For Chocolate," but didn't take command.
He should have taken command - but Spike clearly wanted to to Vietnamese food.
I hadn't heard of Crazy Bad - or, was it "Bad Bubby"?
You could have done a poultry based southern inspired dish for To Kill a Mockingbird. Quail or grouse would have worked.

It was mainly just killing me that neither of them mentioned any of the LoTR movies!

I'm glad they didn't. That would have been way too obvious, I think. But Spike's wanting to do Vietnamese food so proposing a film with "Vietnam" in the title and doing a dish that had nothing to do with the film (and was boring to boot) was idiotic.

classic southern cooking with a twist.

Or Big Night, but not enough time for Timpani (?), I guess. A good risotto would have worked.

I'm glad they didn't - I fear it would have been cringe-inducing given everything else Ryan was saying.
Well, I have to say that Spike can't be long for the show
I suspect the next time he takes charge and fails, he'll get the axe instead of the beta chef(s).

yum!
I'm envisioning something with smoked ham and spicy greens, maybe some cannelli beans or those super huge beans.

Fava beans and nice chianti?
