Middle Earth Menus

The Alamo Drafthouse Unveils Its Lord of the Rings Cuisine

— January 15, 2011 — Lifestyle
Forget fine dining, I want to head down to Austin, Texas to get a taste of some Lord of the Rings cuisine. The Alamo Drafthouse recently screened the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy and decided to offer up some Middle Earth-inspired dishes in the process.

The Alamo Drafthouse is probably the only place where you could order lembas bread and actually be taken seriously. Hopefully the Lord of the Rings cuisine becomes a permanent part of the Alamo Drafthouses' menu. I'd love to get the opportunity to eat the same food as the fellowship. Let your geek flag fly.
