Proceeds benefit the Capital Area Food Bank!For years, we have been producing food-and-film-themed events at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Probably our favorite yet is the Alamo Iron Chef competitions, in which we have pitted our chefs against each other or against a local fine-dining establishment, with the proceeds going to the Capital Area Food Bank.
The stage is now set for Iron Chef Alamo Round IV, in which the Alamo chefs John Bullington, Trish Eichelberger and Elijah Horgan will team up against a common foe, the award-winning kitchen of Roy's led by Chef Lawrence Kocurek. The proceedings will take place in the luxurious Alamo Kitchen Stadium (theater #3) wherein Alamo founder Tim League will be assuming the red kimono of Chairman Kaga.
It is similar to the popular TV show but the secret ingredient in this battle is not green peppers or foie gras, it is celluloid. Each contestant will deliver to each of the 100 attendees a series of 5 dishes (that's 10 dishes in all folks!) themed to a film. 5 wine courses will also be provided. At the end of the show, the audience and an esteemed panel of Austin food critics will decide whose meals were tastier and more cleverly matched and timed to the movie.
The film chosen for this installment of IRON CHEF ALAMO is the Preston Sturges Comedy Classic THE LADY EVE. Henry Fonda plays a snake-obsessed beer magnate who emerges from an excursion up the Amazon only to find himself in the clutches of sexy con artist Barbara Stanwyck. He woos her on a luxury steamliner and later their paths cross at a high society banquet. It's one of the funniest, most romantic films ever made and we can't wait to see what our chefs do with it!
The show is seriously close to sold out, so grab your 10-course wine-paired Henry Fonda fill while you can! Click here.
