REEL TASTY The Goonies

Come join us for camp. Saturday, July 31st at 7:00pm. This is a star studded flick but before any of them were stars. On the last day of summer camp, Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter, Marguerite Moreau, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, Christopher Meloni, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Zak Orth, A.D. Miles, and members of MTV’s sketch comedy group The State try and find someone to kiss at the end of the big talent show that night.

Saturday, May 15th at 7:00pm. The Opener. Our FIRST dinner on the deck for the season. Aimee and I have not finalized it yet. We are starting the season the same way we finished it. Hooray for consistency. We promise, as always, it will not disappoint. We are thinking Ghostbusters equals New York but we realize it also means marshmallows. That’s all for the hints right now. We will post more as it develops.

The Italian-American season begins. Here’s the skinny on the fat. We like to end each season with an Italian meal BUT for the last two years that hasn’t happened so this year we are going all Italian. We’re starting with  A Bronx Tale. Besides the fact that Robert DeNiro’s character shares our last name and my father claims the beginning of this story follows his real life, we love this flick for it’s portrayal of Italian-American life in the mid-twentieth century. Aside from the stereotypical mobster movie stuff it paints a serious picture of the neighborhood segregation in that time as well as the positive shift into the multi-cultural society we live in today. Plus, who can forget “The Door Test”. Rules to live by.

We know you guys have awesome food experiences just like us. It’s time you let ’em out. We want to unlock those pent up tales of tasty and share them with everyone. How? We’re not 100% sure yet but we know it involves a little eating and a little talking. If you’re interested in sharing your story please fill out the below. Keep it short. We’ll be in touch for your epic stories details. For now just give us the basics in 200 words or less.

For example: Last year in Peru, I ate the best burger of my life in Cusco, of all places, and then I was romanced by the waiter who took me to a house party beyond my wildest dreams. To his chagrin I did not sleep with him but I did spend the rest of the week letting him take me to locals only hot spots.
