Oscar Menu Madness

My Oscar menu needs your help.  Every year my friends and I come up with dishes in honor of the movies, their stars and directors.  Sometime we actually make the dishes and sometimes it’s just a fun thing for us to think about.  

Dishes in the past have included hits like:

Seabrisket

The Last Ham-on-Rye

Caviar Bardem

And misses:

Penne Zellweger

Cupcate Blanchett

Johnny Dip
