My wife and I were reminiscing last week about the good ole' days (aka the 80's) when there was this wonderful entertainment option called the "cinema pub". We would go to our local one in Orlando, plop down $2 each and grab a table to watch a 2nd run movie. That may not sound exciting, but we really looked forward to that every week or two. We could catch a movie on the cheap, enjoy some beer or wine, and get a bite to eat. That was long before everyone could afford larger screen TVs and well before DVDs became ubiquitous.
Now, jump to the 2010's and home cinema viewing has changed immensely. But one thing hasn't changed...I LOVE to eat while watching a movie. Not just popcorn or candy, but great "munchies" and drink. So it got me to thinking, what does everyone else like to eat on movie night? For me, I like to have some nice, hot chicken wings, some pita chips with hummus (or Doritos will work in a pinch), and of course, an ice cold beer like a Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA. While I long for the days of the cinema pub (alas they don't exist anywhere near where we live), I can truly enjoy a night in with the right food and a great movie on my home system.
What do all of you like? Do any of you remember the cinema pub? Would love to hear some ideas I may just take as my own at home...
