We are all assigned movies and restaurants by someone else and we have to come up with a themed menu to go with that movie using the existing menu of our restaurant.

Lots of fun movie menu choices including movies like The Goonies and Karate Kid Part II as well as restaurants like McDonalds and Outback Steakhouse. So download this episode, sit back and let us take you on a trip for both your ear holes AND your mouth holes. Trust me, you’re mouth will be watering by the end.

Nerd Lunch vs The Nosh Show

Posted in fast food, food, podcast with tags fast food, food, Nerd Lunch Podcast, Nosh Show on June 23, 2014 by Paxton

This week we have a double header of shows coming right at your ear holes. And we’ll be talking about stuff that you put in your mouth holes.

First up, on Nerd Lunch Episode 137, we were visited by all four hosts of the awesome Nosh Show Podcast. Yep, the fourth chair this week is occupied by foodie luminaries Marvo, Ryan, Eric and former Nerd Lunch guest, Dubba. A veritable hall of fame of food bloggers.

This week the seven of us have a fast food fantasy draft where we pick a menu of five items (beef, chicken, side, drink, wildcard) from the menus of the top 20 fast/quick serve restaurants in the US. It was a lot of fun and after you’ve heard the show head on over to Poll Daddy to vote on who selected the best menu.

And yes, I mentioned this week was a double header, so if you want to hear more of the seven of us talking, check out Episode 32 of The Nosh Show and you can hear CT, Jeeg and I talk about stuff like Sbarro frozen pizzas, cronuts, Sriracha pizza and movie tie in food promotions with the Nosh Show hosts over on their show. It’s a marathon of awesomeness.

This past weekend the members of the Nerd Lunch Podcast and the Cult Film Club podcast descended on Atlanta for a meetup. This was the first time several of us had seen each other in real life. Here are some photos commemorating this historic nerdy and cultish event.

The first place we all went together was, of course, The World of Coke.

Here I am at the entrance to the World of Coke getting photobombed by CT.

The entire Nerd Lunch podcast crew. Together again for the first time. And on a Coke sofa.

The entire Cult Film Club crew together in the gift shop at The World of Coke.

Surprisingly, the museum actually had a small display dedicated to New Coke, of which you know I’m obsessed.

Nerd Lunch Episode 113 – Movie Menus II

Posted in fast food, food, movies, podcast, pop culture with tags fast food, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, pop culture on December 24, 2013 by Paxton

Episode 113 of the podcast has dropped. This week we are joined again by food blogger extraordinaire Jasmin Fine from 1 Fine Cooke.com. And this week, with the return of the Denny’s The Hobbit menu, we are also returning to a topic inspired by that menu, Movie Menus. Which we did back in episode 83.

We all assign other people the restaurants and movies and then we create the menus and themes found within. Expect to see the movies Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Princess Bride as well as the restaurants PF Chang’s and In-n-Out Burger. Lots of awesome stuff lies within.

Nerd Lunch Episode 83: Creating movie themed restaurant menus

Posted in fast food, movies, podcast, pop culture with tags fast food, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, pop culture on April 30, 2013 by Paxton

For this, our 83rd episode, we are joined again by Steve from the Food Junk blog to discuss movies and fast food menus.

Yes, with the release earlier this year of Denny’s Hobbit Menu, we were inspired to take matters into our own hands and imagine what would happen if other restaurants took the same marketing approach and created specialized menus for movies. Imagine Red Lobster creating a menu for a serial killer. What would a Buckaroo Banzai menu look like at a place known mostly for desserts? And would you eat at Olive Garden regardless of the movie it created a menu for?

All these things and more are answered in this week’s Nerd Lunch Podcast.

Btw, I just realized that this is my 700th post.
