I don’t know if I mentioned this or not, but I recently wrote a little crime novel called Niketown. Check it out. In the book, the protagonist, Carter Chase, invents a recipe for hot dog which he names “The Mark Chase Dog” after his missing brother, and the ingredients are described in loving detail.
Well, Michael Taylor of Paducah, KY decided to make himself some Mark Chase Dogs and was kind enough to send me photographic documentation:
Now I feel lazy because I never got around to making Casey Ryback’s salad recipe from UNDER SIEGE 2, even though I put it in Seagalogy. Michael also reports that he once read one of my greatest works, my GARFIELD review, at an open mic night. That warms my heart. Thanks Michael!

That’s some cool stuff. It’d be interesting to see an article that highlights cooking recipes featured in movies in the future. I watch the show HANNIBAL and one thing I’ve been thinking since it began is that a tie-in cookbook for that show would be ingenious. So many of those dishes look superb outside of the fact that they’re supposed to be human meat of course.
