The summer blockbuster, the all American party food for the whole family. Truly, all of us, except for women and vegetarians, can enjoy the original Star Wars, which created an empire and revolutionized the way we watch the movies, both by pioneering technology as well as unintentionally spewing forth knock offs and imitations too plentiful to count. Revisiting this simple, largely homemade classic fills you up right and brings you back home. Watch how difficult it is for Han Solo to blast one Tie Fighter, regardless of how many thousands get blown away in seconds in Episode One. Savor the heartache inherent in the sunset scene on Tatooine. Start with the actors - a spicy Carrie Fisher pickle and the sweet tang of a few squirts of Harrison Ford mustard and a sprinkling of cheerfully bland Mark Hamill lettuce. Then add the rich bun goodness of still-impressive special effects, but what this original really has is good old fashioned meaty storytelling. The orphan and his ragtag team storm the castle and rescue the princess from the evil wizard. It's film and cooking at their simplest - and best.
