The first Best Oscar Entree nominee is a New York City Broadway dressing room favorite nosh. Check out the trailer for "Maestro."
1. "Maestro" Bagel Spread with Cream Cheese & Salmon - The biopic flick of New York Philharmonic and Broadway musical conductor/composer Leonard Bernstein is loaded (with high drama) like my latest Bagel Spread recipe.
The second Best Oscar Entree is a sprinkles-filled dessert and a topping so fresh like the movie "Barbie."
2. "Barbie" Cupcakes with Pink Strawberry Frosting - From plastic to fresh fruity Technicolor sets and costumes, Barbie is a bustier of a blockbuster musical with a feminist spin. My cupcakes with homemade pink frosting, the color scheme of the movie.
The third Best Oscar Entree sees previous Oscar winner Martin Scorsese helming a tragic historical story on the Great Plains.
3. "Killers of the Flower Moon" Frybread - My late wife, Amy, and I vacationed on a few Indian reservations one summer. The sights were majestic and the natives enlightened us to their culture and food. A local Indian was generous enough to show us his version of American Indian-style Frybread.
The fourth Best Oscar Entree took the Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in France last year. I have a favorite French entree I know you will devour.
4. "Anatomy of a Fall" Cassoulet - A murder mystery at a chilly mountain chalet in France calls for a toasty warm dish of baked beans with sausage and chicken. Check out the movie in the comfort of your warm living room with a steaming plate of Cassoulet.
The fifth Best Oscar Entree stars Jeffery Wright, who is always worth watching.
5. "American Fiction" Soul Food - This pitch-black satire on "Black" books takes elite academia to task. There is nothing elite about a visit to Chef Marilyn's Soul Food Express in my neighborhood. It's all good.
The sixth Best Oscar Entree is the bomb!
6. "Oppenheimer" Tuna Melt - My sandwich recipe fuses Cheese and Tuna Salad into one powerful atom-splitting core of molten goodness. I think my wide-screen recipe video would make the film director Christopher Nolan quite pleased as an accompaniment to his Imax operatic bio of Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.
The seventh Best Oscar Entree takes place in a New England boarding school and stars scene-chewing Paul Giamotti.
7. "The Holdover" Hoagie - I had my first Hoagie Sandwich when I visited my wife's family on the East Coast. Like the movie, it has a crusty Professor of bread with a volatile Student filling of Italian deli meats.
The eighth Best Oscar Entree time-shifts between childhood in Korea and adulthood in New York City.
8. "Past Lives" Pizza - The bittersweet story is about unrequited love, so you will want something soothing and satisfying to dine on. I always grab a toasty $1.50 Pizza Slice or two when visiting the Big Apple. Linda and I saw this film while staying in NYC and we happened to hang out at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge exactly where some scenes in the film were filmed.
The ninth Best Oscar Entree is my kind of flick. A twisted tale based on a novel that is a riff on the classic Frankenstein story.
9. "Poor Things" Fried Baloney Sandwich - I was fed this sandwich as a child, and like the movie's main character played by Emma Stone, we follow her from adolescence to enlightenment. With eccentric visuals and characters in extremis (Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo). This recipe and movie are not for the faint of palate.
The final Best Oscar Entree is a WWII antiseptic chilling story that takes place in a Nazi family's villa next to the concentration camp of Auschwitz.
10. "Zone of Interest" - There is really no recipe that can accompany this tragic tale.
Do try any of my Oscar Party Entrees - you're sure to get a Standing O. So have your acceptance speech ready because the golden statuette for Best Entree at an Oscar Party belongs to you, the host with the most.
May the Best Entree win!!
