Welcome to Dinner and a (Streaming) Movie! Each week for #TakeoutTuesday, we will collaborate with one of our Hot Spots restaurant partners to bring you delicious pickup and delivery food options along with a film selected by the chef preparing your meal!
This week, we’re featuring a menu of Japanese street food from Yoshi’s Cafe and Chef Ken Katsumura paired with the animated Studio Ghibli classic Spirited Away.
Dinner Take-Out Pick
“The menu is based on the food you would find in a Japanese street market, many of these vendors you can find outside of shrines and temples, which directly relates to the movie and it’s emphasis on the spirit world. Japanese street food is great for snacking, which I personally like to do when watching a film as well.” – Chef Ken Katsumura
