Sliders inspired by "Escape at Dannemora"
The show is based on true events -- when an employee at an upstate New York prison helped two inmates escape by smuggling tools into the prison using hamburger meat.
This popular party menu item feels perfectly punny and fitting. Bonus points if you use those plastic sword toothpicks.
Fried chicken inspired by "Green Book"
The movie, inspired by a true story, addresses issues of racism during an era of segregation. In a memorable scene from the film, the world-class pianist Dr. Don Shirley, played by Mahershala Ali, tries fried chicken for the first time, thanks to his white bodyguard Tony Lip.
Pastrami sandwich inspired by "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
The hit retro comedy series set in New York City in the 1950's plays up the Jewish deli food scene. Midge, a female stand up comedian played by best actress nominee Rachel Brosnahan, even bribes bar manager with her homemade brisket to get her husband a performance slot. In many scenes, Midge and her manager Susie, played by Alex Borstein who is also nominated for a Golden Globe, are seen hanging out in a Jewish deli while scheming to advance her career.
If you're lucky enough to live in New York City like Midge, order a platter pastrami from the infamous Katz's (read as: any Jewish deli) to serve up on Sunday! Otherwise make your own sandwiches at home with your favorite pastrami.
A spoonful of sugar cake pops inspired by "Mary Poppins Returns"
Make your own like these cute pops from Pinterest or enlist in the help of your local bakery to see what kind of magical dessert they can whip up!
Frozen yogurt inspired by "The Good Place"
Ted Danson's character on the hit show, nominated for best television series, musical or comedy, is fixated on the frozen treat and references the dessert throughout the seasons.
Fun Fact: The fro-yo was actually mashed potatoes. Hard to swallow. #TheGoodPlace
