Create an Oscar-Winning Spread with This Movie-Themed Menu
Movie Bites
“This year’s Oscar-nominated movies are all very diverse, which made creating entrées and hors d’oeuvres inspired by them a lot more fun,” says Nitehawk’s in-house chef, Michael Franey. Whether it’s Mason’s queso from Boyhood or Andrew’s dad’s go-to popcorn and Raisinettes combo from Whiplash, Nitehawk hunted down the prototypical fare we saw (and ogled over) on the big screen and created flavor-packed versions of their own. Scroll down to see their edible lineup, and make sure to tune in to the 87th annual Academy Awards on Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. EST on ABC.
