REEL TASTY: Wet Hot American Summer

Let’s ride! A song filled, dance inducing, joke a minute, slapstick comedy, anchored by three amazing comedians has us counting the minutes until the 24th. Join us to fight the Evil El Guapo and eat some tasty, cheesy, crispy, spicy, hearty, hot, sweet, salty, luscious, peppery, juicy food. I suppose we could have just said delicious but then again, we are not writing a telegram. Bring your little buttercup and stay a while, while. Ok, we promise to try and tone down the movie quotes once we finish writing this.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted. You may have wondered what we’ve been up to. This video explains it all but for those of you who can’t bring yourself to watch 3 minutes of fun, bike and food content here’s the skinny.

Last year we threw our first Bike-In-Theater in North Brooklyn on the waterfront. The response was so amazing that we decided to bring it back this year. The twist is that we want to hit as many cities as possible. We’re starting with NY and San Francisco but hope to raise enough money to do a few more.

Yes. I said raise money. See, last year it was self funded and helped to launch the ForkingTasty Suppers season. This year we’ve turned to Kickstarter to help raise the funds to put the proper infrastructure in place and bring even more amazing food to the event. So, to our loyal fans and those of you here for the first time, please help pitch in and make Bike-In-Theater a reality.

Ohh, but we are not killers. As Cary Grant, a hapless New York advertising executive, gets mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, he is chased across the country while he looks for a way to survive. We will follow him from New York to Chicago, across the great plains and finally to South Dakota with a culinary treat from each location. Have you ever heard of an Indian Taco? What do they grow most in Indiana? What is Chicago’s most underground famous food? These questions and more will be answered soon enough.

Saturday, June 19th at 7:30pm. A trip around the world with Dr. Jones. Pulling from the countries the movie lands in, Aimee and I were sent into overdrive. From Nepal to Egypt to Peru there are tons of great tastes and ingredients to play with. For now, be prepared for a culinary voyage. We will post more as it develops. And no poison dates, we promise.
