Oscar Party Menu Ideas

by Michael
(Chicago)

Every year, I create a party buffet with puns on nominated film titles. I have done this for quite a few years now. This year’s menu can mostly be ordered from restaurants, bought at a store, or fairly easily prepared, and my guests always look forward to the menu.

Here is a past one:
