🍿 Potluck with Food from TV & Movies 🎬 - Sat, Mar 21, 5pm, Auburn

This month, we’re taking our inspiration from the silver screen to the table.

For our “Food from TV & Movies” Potluck, every dish should have a clear reference in a film or TV show — whether it’s a famous on-screen meal, a food that’s part of the plot, or something a character is known for eating.

And it doesn’t need to be a perfect replica — a creative nod to the source is just as good!

A few bonus items (optional)...

• Bring a video clip of where your dish surfaced in the show, if a good one is available.
• Feel free to wear a related costume for your show.

Bring your chosen dish ready to share in potluck style, and also be prepared to tell us about the TV or movie moment that inspired it.
