Eat Popcorn Inspired by Flour’s Sticky Bun at a Seaport Movie Theater Next Month - Eater Boston

"Even though stale popcorn smothered with liquid “butter” is a time-honored movie theater tradition, the Showplace Icon in Boston’s Seaport District (60 Seaport Blvd.) wants to give movie-goers some other options. The theater has partnered with a dozen well-known Boston chefs, each of whom has come up with a special popcorn flavor that’ll be available for a month at $8.41 per bucket. Up first: sticky bun popcorn with roasted pecans by Joanne Chang (based on her iconic Flour sticky bun), available throughout April; followed by ginger curry “fried chicken” popcorn by Pabu executive chef Benjamin Steigers, available in May; and pad thai popcorn with roasted peanuts by Ken Oringer (Little Donkey, Toro, etc.) in June." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
