Last time we were here, competitors delivered like Doorbell Dining. The challenge: Tell us what food deserves its own movie? The stakes: Tickets to Moonrise Kingdom.
Some of the answers:
Tots! But I guess it's already been done courtesy of the one and only Napoleon Dynamite!! So…how about Poutine. Denise Mello • via Facebook
Just re-make Traffic,” but instead of cocaine it will be about foie gras post-California ban. Robin G Dodd • via Facebook
Taco Truck. The touching new film by Ron Howard. They came to eat tacos. What they got was a reason to believe in power of hand held food and a rolling kitchen. Jen Carter • via Facebook
Geoduck.......remake of Dune..........be sure to use the right spice.......... Warren Herz • via Facebook
The Rise and Fall of Ketchup…no, I am not a vegetable after all! Carol Brenner • via Facebook
Veal. I know it's a controversial food item, but consider the huge popularity of The Shawshank Redemption. Never underestimate the appeal of adorable baby animals staging a jailbreak. Johnny Pomatto • via Facebook
Now, the next challenge. Comment below to take your own Food Blog title.
Cajun crawdads by the bagful. Litters of hush puppies. Catfish in schools.
You deserve a mouthful or 15—plus a earful or 5,000—of blues flavor.
So write the bluesiest (real word) food ditty about what edible item gives you the blues—whether a song lyric, a thought, a poem, a limerick, whatever—and top answer wins two passes to both Saturday and Sunday.
Try this one out for size:
There once was a ceviche I loved/ Tasted like fresh heaven from above/ But when it came out/ I was left to pout/ And to use my poor mama’s hand towel.
Or:
“Beef” in a Taco Bell taco/ When I eat it I feel so damn macho/ But when reduced to digestion/ My mind starts to question/ What the f* I was thinking.
Fire away—limerick or not—and then buy Charlie Musselwhite a bucket of wings when enjoying your all-day, two-day grounds passes. All it takes is a fun comment below...

I like eating healthy,
That is just fine.
On fresh fruits and veggies, I’m happy to dine.
I only eat whole grains,
They’re better for you
But when comfort food calls, oh, what can you do?
The doc says, “No Carbs!”,
Not even a taste.
And if I eat sugar, it’ll lay me to waste.
He then adds, “No Fats”
Well, golly gee whiz!
If this ain’t deprivation,
Then tell me what is.

When I think of the burgers and the steaks,
and the all-beef franks,
in terms of cows I've eaten,
I hunger for a journey,
to India, the East,
where bovine is divine, not beast.
And I long to graze with the holy cows,
and chew the grass, as they do,
and moo.

The hoarding is horrifying
over at Mom's,
what once were foods have turned into bombs.
Racks and stacks,
and piles on the floor,
so many cans and jars
they're blocking the door.
Turn one over, check out the date,
it says best eaten by 2008.
It's fine she says, but I just can't agree,
so I grab another can,
it says 2003.

A heartfelt haiku...
Smooth. Creamy. Simple.
Why f*ck it up and add nuts?
Ruined PB & J.

Oh crunchy! Oh munchy! Oh sea salt, ridged chips!
Thou make my hips bigger as we touch on my lips
You crisp and you crackle with such salty goodness
As my tummy bloats and begs for forgiveness.

scrambling through forests
head to the ground
fungi surrounding us
the feast did abound.
This season went late
Fall Winter Spring it spanned
with boletus so great
and chanterelles always at hand.
But now they're all gone
with no more to be found
until the rains and sun
pop tasty treats from the ground.
I got those mushroom forager blues...
