It’s the 2018 Red Carpet Menu for Oscar®!
For The Post, it’s The Press!
READ ALL ABOUT IT! This appetizer is awesome!! And so is Oscar® Best Picture Nominee, The Post! What a timely movie. It doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you’re on… there is activism and lots of important issues going on in the United States now just like in the ’70’s.
When it came to deciding what dish to create for this movie, I have to hand it to my friend, Vicki Merten. We were texting about what I should make and she nonchalantly wrote “something pressed” – and that was it! “The Press” was “in ink”. A pressed sandwich – a panini! The only food mentioned in the movie was sandwiches… the VIRGINIA ham is a nod to the Washington DC area and the Swiss cheese is a nod to so many HOLES in the Nixon White House stories at the time.
You’ll notice that I use a wonderful homemade mayonnaise in this recipe – yes, I made it from scratch which only takes a couple of minutes. Why not make it? You will notice the fresh delicious difference right off. Get it here.
Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep are WONDERFUL as usual. The whole cast is stellar! If you haven’t seen this movie, you are missing a well-crafted film. Get on it! And enjoy “The Press”!
Let’s get to the main course!!
Happy Oscars!
