According to national legend, this is a week--nay, a season!--for tryptophan-laden wretched excess and communion with loved ones. Hey, if you've got it like that, family-style
communitas can be nice and fulfilling, yes, but can your family hang for TWELVE HOURS of Lord of the Rings in one sitting? If watching P. Jax's entire Trilogy in one go sounds like your idea of holiday indulgence, count yourself lucky, because your true family awaits you at the Alamo this Sunday. Those fanatically thoughtful Alamo folks are giving their
Food & Film Signature Series treatment to the much-obsessed-over LOTR movies in their entirety, and they've planned an epic menu to go accompany the marathon. That means they will be serving seven meals (one for each Hobbit mealtime) along with beer and wine, all inspired by Tolkien's Middle Earth. That means First and Second Breakfast (including "Nice Crispy Bacon".) That means some real-ass food like braised spare ribs and rabbit (though of course, a veggie option will be available too.) That means One Feast to Rule Them All, etc etc. Sure, the ticket price is a splurge, but you're going to be watching three movies, eating seven meals (look at the
menu!), and drinking adult beverages while you sit back and relax, with all details taken care of, in a room full of people who are all nerding out just as hard as you are. Admit it: Not even your family pampers the fanboy/girl in you with such luxury.
