'The O.C.' is ending! How should I stuff my face?

Feb 22, 2007, 04:46 PM | by Annie Barrett

Categories: Food and Drink, Television

Julie_l PopWatch reader Caroline wrote in last week about wanting to co-host an O.C. Finale Party, and wondered: "Do you have suggestions of what we should serve? Maybe a little Pad Thai? Some Chardonnay? What would be uniquely O.C. that could end the series right?" A superb question, and right up my alley. We exchanged a few e-mails, and together came up with this list:

• Pancakes (for Summer)
• Gold Medal Ribbon ice cream from Baskin Robbins (Kaitlin's fave)
• Bagels (with slicer)
• Shrimp Tacos (Sandy's pick from El Pavo Guapo)
• Corn Dogs (Frank, ew.)
• Whatever that ice cream bar was that Marissa and Ryan got on the boardwalk in season 1 (Caroline knew it: Balboa Bars! Are those real?)
• Hot Pockets (Julie, pictured, in the trailer)
• Cheese Stix and Ding Dongs
• "Fresh Margs?" (Kirsten)
• One of Lindsay's disgusting Zone meals
• Tequila shots (for sorrow-drowning)

Post your own ideas below, then leave work early to start shopping.

Oh no! There's another Spanish Accronym for EP? El Pavo Sato (the stray turkey)sounds kind of cool compared to el perro sato (the stray dog)...

How could we all forget the assortment of cereals Seth and Ryan ate every morning? I am going to have to go with the Captain Crunch right out of the box (mainly because that is the only cereal I can remember at this moment)

Oh, there was only one way to say goodbye...or three, I guess. We feasted on OCaesar salad, tacOC's, and, for dessert, Jell-OC shots. The escargOC was a bit much.

Wow, I'm gonna miss this show. Great ending though. Especially the last 12 minutes.

Ryan Fri, Feb 23, 2007 at 05:48 AM EST

Peach torte!!!

*sniff sniff* Its gone, at least they DID pack up the world famous Cohen bagel slicer for the moving boxes in the last 10 minutes!!!
And did we discuss this before but was Summer's job at G.E.O.R.G.E. another subliminal jab at Grey's Anatomy? Sorry for all the questions today, but... its.. like SO gone forever! And only a half a second flashback sun-tinged shot of Marissa!

Ha! "Chino? They don't even have a PF Changs."

Mozz Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 07:51 PM EST

i'm planning on having myself a serving of Ugly Betty and a side-dish of Grey's Anatomy.

Jenn Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 07:12 PM EST

aww, bye bye OC! Just so you know Balboa Bars are real! and i think you should throw in a little PF Changs in honor of Summers commantary on the Chino controversy in season 1.

Wicked props for "Two Kinds of Meatloaf"...

What a reference.

kyle Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 06:32 PM EST

and im sorry but i guess im in the minority of people that didnt think oliver was the worst character ever. Oliver is the basis for my favorite O.C. episode when they go to down to palm springs and ryan and oliver almost get in a head on collison with the holf carts.

kyle Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 06:26 PM EST

what about a bottle of prescription pills in memory of oliver?

other bands that played at the bait shop: Modest Mouse and the Subways

Amanda Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 06:21 PM EST

Don't forget mojitos with crudite and dip for Oliver, even though his story was the worst plot ever.

Matt Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 06:16 PM EST

Two kinds of meatloaf.

Phil Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 05:39 PM EST

Didn't Kirsten & Sandy ALWAYS order out Chinese take out during the first few episodes? I mean I am an O.C. fan, but don't pull out the dvds often, but didn't they always used to make references about Moo Shu Pork? Like "A lil' Moo Shu will fix this..."? I'm gonna really miss the O.C....Does anyone know, is it off Fox's schedule after tonight? No re-runs from this (super short) season? Does the Season have a dvd release date??

My friends and I are going to eat bagels and schmeer and drink out of our magical flasks to drown our sorrows. R.I.P O.C

Caroline Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 05:12 PM EST

Annie,

Thanks for all your help with this project. We will now have the grossest mix of food for tonight's finale. And, we must of course add the generic vodka Kirsten used to swill from the bottle. And peanut butter pie, which was the real reason Anna moved back to Pittsburgh.

Thanks again!
