Lost Chef: Elimination Challenge

The big, fat, impossible-to-disappoint Series Finale of LOST crash lands this Sunday. An opportunity for friends to gather together and share in the letdown. But what sort of menu do you prepare for a LOST party?

For a show about people stranded on an island, you would think that food would've played a larger role in the 6 seasons. (You'd think that logic would play a larger role, too.) But with a few exceptions, food has remained in the background of the show. A season of SURVIVOR depicts more food than the 6 seasons of LOST.

Yes, the first season of TOP CHEF MASTERS included a "Lost Supper" challenge where the chefs cooked Lost-themed dishes for the writers. But the food was general island fare.

Aside from fish biscuits and a giant tub of ranch dressing for Hurley, where do you go...?

Lostpedia compiled a list of food featured over the course of the series. It's a good start. Remember pregnant, pre-crazy Claire's insatiable craving for peanut butter? Remember that grilled cheese sandwich that pre-dead Juliet made for Dr. Jack?

Well, the lack of emphasis on cuisine is probably not my biggest issue with the show at this late stage in the game. But it's certainly not helping with finale party menu planning. Something with coconuts, then...?


BETTER CALL SAUL!!!

Extra: Matthew Fox gets interrogated by Jimmy Fallon (because you probably don't watch Jimmy Fallon)
