“Our dining experience has always gone hand-in-hand with our cinema experience,” Alamo Drafthouse Cinema’s Director of Food and Beverage Trish Eichelberger said in a press release. “We’re just as excited as our guests to see the original fried pickles back on the menu, and we always want to be as inclusive as possible so we’re really proud of our expanded vegan and vegetarian options.”

Alamo Drafthouse is also planning a featurette trailer detailing what went on behind the scenes to bring “The Invasion of the Mega Menu” to theaters, with a teaser of the video available to watch now:
