Post 3 Dinner Menu

Classic Martini-Food Network 

For Drinks a classic martini will be on the menu. A popular drink at the time and now, the martini will be served because it was common knowledge that Hoover forbade his agents in drinking any alcoholic beverage which is why the martini will cause much discussion. 


Clam Chowder-Simple Recipes 

Hoover and Clyde Tolson were seen many times eating at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC so much so that the restaurant in the Mayflower Hotel is now known as the Edgar Bar and Grill. On the menu for the Edgar Bar and Grill, Clam Chowder is one of the first food items. Clam chowder was also popular at the time. 

Foie Gras-Daily Meal 

Up next is Foie Gras, Named as one of the most controversial foods by The Daily Meal  serving Foie Gras to the guests will be a subtle reminder about controversy as many argue that Foie Gras is worth the controversy much like many argue that the FBI is doing the right thing despite the controversy around it and Hoover 

Spicy Wings-Food Network 

Spicy Buffalo wings will also be on the menu. The guests who eat the spicy wings will be feeling the heat tonight just as Hoover made presidents feel the heat when he threatened them with damaging information . 
Pineapple Pizza- People.com 

Pineapple Pizza is one of the most debated foods in recent history. Some people love it and some people hate it, but it is without a doubt a much talked about food. The reason this is on the menu is because just like J. Edgar Hoover's FBI it is often controversial many people support it and many people are not supportive of it but is was without a doubt a very important and talked about topic at the time just like Pineapple pizza is today. 

McDonald's Chicken McNuggets-Fortune.com

Serving McDonald's Chicken McNuggets might seem out of place at first but it is actually a perfect analogy for the FBI especially when it was under Hoover's control. McNuggets have a huge fan base and they are a food that many people are in support of but the way McNuggets are processed and made is often controversial but the fans of the Chicken McNugget either turn a blind eye to it or are oblivious all together. Just like how in the FBI and Hoover engaged in many controversial actions,  those who were aware were willing to turn a blind eye to it and the rest of the people had no idea what was going on behind closed doors. 

Turducken- WholeFoods 

Up next on the menu of foods is Turducken. A Turducken is a chicken wrapped inside of a duck, that is then wrapped inside of a turkey. Turducken is a famous food item because it has many layers of different meats all wrapped inside of each other. The reason this will be served is because many people viewed the FBI from an outside prospective and only say the parts that they were suppose to see just like in the turducken, you only see the outside of the turkey. But in the FBI there are many layers that you don't see or are not suppose to see and how in the turducken there are also many layers that you can only see once you cut it open and get a good look. 

Sparkling water- LA magazine 

Last on the menu is sparkling water, because with all of that food the guests will be thirsty. Sparkling water was chosen over normal water because normal water is boring and nothing special but sparkling water is fancy and high end along with showing that you can afford to buy sparkling water. Similar to how the FBI was a normal, nothing special organization until Hoover took control and turned it into a large, well respected government organization than possessed immense power.
