Comic-Con International: San Diego - Pop-Up Dinner Paying Homage to Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black & Marvel’s Luke Cage. Comic-Con attendees would receive "TV Dinners" inspired by the shows. The meals would feature dishes like Genghis Connie's chow mein from Luke Cage, the Jolly Rancher weapon that Piper used to frame fellow inmate Stella Carlin in Orange is the New Black, and Jerky of the Beast inspired by the wild boar that ultimately killed Game of Thrones character King Robert Baratheon.

WHEN THE WILD THYME COMPANY’s Chef Keith Lord casually coined the hashtag #nowastechef, he never expected the response or demand from what can now be called the “following”. After several educational seminars, collaborative research and development, awards, and now pop-up dinners, highlighting ingredients the common world would typically call trash is becoming a trend, but our very own and other locally notarized chefs are cultivating it as a lifestyle.

Typically, the menu is a huge contributor to the theme or type of event you're planning, but beyond that, the style in which it is served is actually the true contribution.  Sometimes the style of service you choose will help you come up with the perfect menu.
