"Serving food in the theater with a movie is hardly a new concept, but what sets Culinary Cinema apart is the work of chefs Trevor Hansen and Nicko Moulinos, and mixologist Jacqueline Aguirre. The chefs design menus that take their lead from the movies, maybe recreating a dish featured in the film or putting a spin on an entree or appetizer that lines up with a location or character."
"I think people have really missed that experience of seeing these older movies together in a theater, and then when you link it up with food, it adds a whole new level of fun, Pruneyard Cinemas co-owner Jack NyBlom said."
"For last Monday's screening of 2004's Mean Girls, that was the You Go Glen Coco-Tini, a tiki-style drink with coconut cream named after a minor character in the film who became a meme sensation. Hansen's menu also included Glen Coco-nut Shrimp."
Pruneyard Cinemas in Campbell pairs classic films with three-course, film-inspired dinners and specialty cocktails to create themed event screenings. Chefs Trevor Hansen and Nicko Moulinos design menus that echo dishes, characters or locations from the films, while mixologist Jacqueline Aguirre crafts matching cocktails. Examples include Mean Girls-themed items such as You Go Glen Coco Coconut Shrimp, Army of Skanks Chicken Alfredo, Kalteen Bars and the You Go Glen Coco-Tini tiki cocktail. The program attracts full auditoriums and pre-show entertainment, delivering a nostalgic, communal viewing experience enhanced by curated food and drink.
