The White Lotus + Big Bowl
If you’ve somehow managed to avoid any spoilers for season three of HBO Max’s The White Lotus, settle in with some carryout or delivery from Big Bowl for a riveting eight episodes! Order up classics like Spicy Thai Green Vegetable Curry with Tofu, Thai Hot Pepper Shrimp, and Vegetable Pad Thai, and other favorites while you watch the Ratliff family and their cohort unravel during a luxury trip to Koh Samui. We won’t give too much away, but characters both new and returning (welcome back, Spa Manager Belinda!) will keep you glued to your seat.

The Last Of Us + L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge
The long-anticipated return of HBO Max’s video game-inspired series The Last Of Us brings us back into the chaotic, post-apocalyptic world of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), who, five years after the first season’s timeline, are surviving, though not quite thriving. The menu of Northwoods supper club-inspired fare from L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge is perfect to enjoy while watching the pair protect their new community in wintery Jackson, Wyoming, from blood-thirsty “runners” and new threats. (Cue up episode one and get ready for some bear-becue, er, we mean…barbecue Baby Back Ribs!)

Hacks + Summer House
Hacks is back! Deborah and Ava (Jean Smart and Hannah Einbender, whose comedic chemistry is off the charts) lock in for another battle of wits in season 4 as they navigate their first foray into late-night TV. Binge the first two episodes back-to-back, while tucking into West Coast-inspired comfort food classics, including salads, sandwiches, pizza, pasta and salads, that would undoubtedly be Deborah-approved. (Plus we’re willing to bet against any Vegas odds that Ava would deem the Coconut Layer Cake, available exclusively at Summer House – Lincoln Park, even better than Tom Cruise’s Christmas Coconut Cake!)

Black Mirror + R.J. Grunts
It’s safe to say that watching any episode of Netflix’s Black Mirror—The Twilight Zone for the technological age—will make you nostalgic for simpler times and very comforting food. We suggest ordering up some signatures from R.J. Grunts, such as the Grilled Cheese, Triple Decker Turkey Club or the French Dip Enigma, to remind you of what life was like before we all had little black mirrors in our pockets—Lettuce’s original restaurant opened in 1971, decades before mobile phones, internet or streaming TV were a part of (controlling?) daily life.

The Pitt + Beatrix
You’ll catch many doctors and nurses popping in and out of Beatrix and Beatrix Market in Chicago’s Streeterville, given their proximity to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The team of The Pitt on HBO Max would undoubtedly be regulars at the healthy-meets-delicious restaurants, which serve soul-satisfying dishes for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Order up favorites such as Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts, Whipped Feta, Baja Chopped Salad, Prime Burger and more (don’t forget cookies and pastries for dessert!) to binge this compelling 15-episode arc spanning one hectic day in the life of ER doctors, nurses and other first-responders.

Apple Cider Vinegar + The Oakville Grill & Cellar
Based on a true story, Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar tells the story of disgraced Australian wellness influencer Belle Gibson, who lied and cheated her way to social media fame by touting alternative medicine as a cure for various diseases and conditions. For anyone who has bona fide dietary restrictions, The Oakville Grill & Cellar offers a gluten-free menu, with delicious options such as Grilled Avocado, Costa Mesa Salad, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, Coal-Roasted Brick Chicken, pizzas, and so much more. Order from the gluten-free or regular menu of simply prepared, California-inspired, seasonally driven signatures and watch with satisfaction as Belle’s lies land her in very real trouble.
Deli Boys + Aba
In this Hulu “crimedy,” two brothers inherit their father’s deli empire in Chicago, and find themselves entangled in a criminal enterprise they had no idea was operating via the family business. Binge Deli Boys while enjoying Aba‘s shareable hummus, spreads, mezze, and grilled kebabs and rice perfect for carryout. Whether you call your father Aba, Baba, Père, Padre or Dad, the chances that he has a secret life like Raj and Mir Dar’s patriarch are slim…but never zero!

The Residence + Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab
There’s been a murder at the White House, but don’t worry, intrepid detective Cordelia Cupp (Orange Is The New Black‘s Uzo Aduba), is on the case. In Netflix’s The Residence, a Knives Out-style whodunit, our sleuth investigates and interrogates the 100+ staff at the world’s most famous residence in the hopes of finding the killer before they strike again. A mystery this fishy calls for carryout or delivery from Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab (the D.C. location of which is just steps from the real-life White House!).

Your Friends and Neighbors + Bub City
Jon Hamm is known for being one of the most down-to-earth and approachable stars in Hollywood (he even recently took the stage for Live Band Karaoke at Bub City in Chicago’s River North!), but the same cannot be said about his character in the new Apple TV+ series, Your Friends and Neighbors. Playing Coop, a recently divorced, down-on-his-luck finance guy on the verge of losing it all, he discovers a new knack for bringing home the bacon while attending a neighbor’s backyard barbecue. Savor the Fried Chicken Sandwich, Award-Winning Wings, 18-Hour Smoked Prime Brisket and more to enjoy as you watch as some decidedly unsavory events unfold!

The Righteous Gemstones + Wildfire
Nothing is more important to The Righteous Gemstones than family. Well, except money…and status, and fame, and beauty, and luxury homes, and cars. Regardless, Eli, Jesse, Judy, Kelvin, Baby Billy and their whole kooky evangelical crew make it a point to eat a family dinner together every Sunday evening, no matter what. If there was a Wildfire in their Southern hometown, you’d surely find these megachurch moguls digging into the family-favorite steaks, chops, seafood and more. Order up one of Wildfire’s Nightly Specials any night of the week as you binge season 4 (airing on HBO Max), featuring Danny McBride at his dysfunctional comedic best.

The Studio + RPM Italian
The star-studded cast of Apple TV+’s send-up of Hollywood studio life, including creator-producer Seth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, Catherine O’Hara and Bryan Cranston—not to mention a scene-stealing Martin Scorcese—balance smarmy business dealings and high-brow/low-brow humor. Order in from RPM Italian, which along with sister restaurants RPM Steak and RPM Seafood, are among Lettuce’s top celebrity hotspots. Rogen’s studio head Matt Remnick would have no problem sealing the deal on the Kool-Aid movie over the Chicken Parmesan and Carbonara.
