The “Fast & Furious” franchise is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. To go along with the franchise name, you can make this soy chorizo queso dip very quickly (five minutes or less) and the chorizo gives it a little kick, or a “furious” taste.
When I saw Alia Shawkat’s character eating a bowl of pasta resembling cacio e pepe during my binge watch of “Search Party” earlier this year, I knew what my pairing would be.
When brainstorming what food to pair with “The Orville,” the episode where the crew convinces Lt. Commander Bortus to eat a bunch of random items, including a cactus, came to mind.
I love a good coming-of-age movie, and “Reality Bites” hits all the right notes of mid-1990s nostalgia. I chose the 4 different toppings for these mini polenta pizzas to represent the movie’s four main characters.
For the first Veg Out super hero movie pairing, I knew I wanted to pick “Captain America,” my favorite movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hot dogs seemed like another natural choice. And when my fiancé joked that I should call this pairing America’s Weiner, it stuck.
“Vertigo” holds up after multiple viewings and more than 60 years after its release, just like the tempeh piccata holds up after several iterations.
“When Harry Met Sally” is undoubtedly one of my favorite movies of all time, and when I thought about what to pair it with, the infamous “I’ll have what she’s having” diner scene immediately popped into my mind.
Any time I make a frozen pizza, the frozen pizza song from “The Last Man on Earth” immediately pops into my head. I dare you to watch that episode and not get the frozen pizza song stuck in your head.
While I love baking and cooking, one of my favorite things to make for a party, holiday or just a Thursday is charcuterie.
For the first ever Veg Out dinner and a movie pairing, we are going with a gluten-free, vegan pot pie and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” one of my all-time favorite movies.
