"Quynh “Q” Trinh launched Eatavision as a dinner-and-movie experience born from a childhood desire to “eat movies” (she still recalls Gene Wilder biting the flower-shaped teacup in Willy Wonka and imagines it tasting lemony with a hint of vanilla). Each month she and chef Melissa Allen Foltz (Ma’s Hot Takes) design a multi-course tasting menu tied to a film—recreating specific dishes or riffing on ambiguous onscreen food—and debut the menu at a handful of screenings. The inaugural “Ratatouille” sold out and featured literal recreations like Remy’s ratatouille plus an original dessert inspired by Anton Ego’s “surprise me.” Meals are handed out in pizza boxes with individually portioned takeout dishes and a printed guide listing menu items with timestamps; Trinh rings a dinner bell before each scene to cue diners. Trinh and Foltz emphasize local produce and Foltz’s background in fine dining, pastry, catering and seven years as a corporate executive chef at Victory Brands helps them realize the menus. Eatavision is expanding with brewery screenings and drink pairings, formal takeout boxes for at-home viewing, smaller indoor events (including a planned collaboration with a Thai and Sushi restaurant), and future collaborations with other Atlanta chefs and a la carte options." - Kris Martins
