Any ideas for "inception" & "the kids are all right" themed food?!
Answers:
For the "Kids Are Alright" I am doing mini-steak sandwiches cooked in truffle oil (from the dinner scene when they talk about steaks in truffle oil). But in another scene one character goes off on heirloom tomatoes, so I have seen a lot of people using them in their menus for Oscar parties. Or anything with organic vegetables.
For Inception I am making a dream-themed cocktail, if you are doing drinks. Or I saw one site that suggested pavola - a meringue cake that looks like clouds. Or the Paris theme is popular too.
Are you doing something for Winter's Bone? That one has me stuck....
For inception (this is more like a dessert)...but cake is cubed in a trifle...

However: the real menu inspired by that movie is:
A Dreamy Dinner at a Paris Café
Brandied Onion Soup with Croque-Monsieur Croutons
Tri-Tip Steak Frites with Red Wine Sauce
Creamy Celery Root and Haricot Vert Salad
Bordeaux
Tarte Tatin
This is what's suggested for the menu inspired by "The kids are all right">>
