Mini Corn Dogs, paired with ‘Pilot’ (Season 1, Episode 1)

In case there was any question about how central food was to the show and to Liz’s sense of morality, the pilot episode of the series opens with a scene about hot dogs. A man cuts a long line of patrons waiting for the street food. Liz — inexplicably buying a hot dog before work — is appalled at his disregard for social rules. In retaliation, she orders all the hot dogs ($150 worth) and hands them out to the “good people” who refused to cheat. The hot dog scene captures the show’s essence: watching Liz navigating a world filled with people who refuse to follow the rules. It also sets up a central character trait, her penchant for eating whatever at any time of day. (Who can forget night cheese?)

This recipe for mini corn dogs allows you to eat multiple hot dogs and have enough left over to share with the “good people” who know how to behave.

In this episode we see that Jack Donaghy, the Sheinhardt Wig Company executive and Liz’s boss, knows Liz better than she knows herself. “Big night, Lemon?” he asks. “Let me guess. Meatball sub, extra bread. Bottle of NyQuil. TiVo Top Chef. A little Miss Bonnie Raitt. Lights out.” And while I don’t endorse drinking an entire bottle of cough syrup, Liz is on to something with the extra bread idea. What better way to sop up the sauce and cheese from a dripping meatball sub than with more bread? Whatever you do, resist the urge to get rid of bread altogether. The Tracy Jordan Meat Machine might have promised us that “meat is the new bread,” but it’s just not worth the risk.

Italian Sausage Sandwiches, paired with ‘Sandwich Day’ (Season 2, Episode 14)

We’ve all been there: Someone eats the very thing we’ve been looking forward to all day, and we can’t control our anger. It happens to Liz when a writer on the show eats her very special, once-a-year Teamster sandwich. Her response to the injustice was both perfect and terrifying: “I don’t know how, but you’re going to get me another sandwich. Or I’m going to cut your face up so bad you’ll have a chin!” It’s impossible to know if these Italian sausage sandwiches measure up to what the Teamsters bequeath on the crew of “TGS,” but they’re definitely a snack to guard closely.
