Pineapple Express
- Food pairing: Diner food (Fries, burger) or pizza
- What better to eat when on the run than some classic diner food? Our friends Dale and Saul (Seth Rogan and James Franco) regularly rendezvous at their local diner to debrief on all their shenanigans. Of course, Pineapple Express would be an excellent title for a specialty pizza, so we’re throwing that in here too. Either way, embrace your inner rogue troublemaker and settle in for a wild ride through the greasy spoon of laughs and thrills that is Pineapple Express.

Sharknado
- Food pairing: Gummy shark
- Look, we understand that a Sharknado is one of nature’s rarest meteorological phenomena. But the fact that we experienced six Sharknados between 2013-2018 – and have had none since – still makes us paranoid and prevents us from ever moving near the coast.
