A table of "finger food" in recognition of four films:
The Banshees of Inisherin, Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Menu, RRR

The EVERYTHING BAGEL takes center stage on the food table:
"I got bored one day, then I put everything in a bagel… everything. All my hopes and dreams, my old report cards, every breed of dog, every personal ad on Craigslist sesame… poppy seed… salt, and it collapsed in on itself. Cause you see, when you really put everything on a bagel, it becomes this… the truth." Everything Everywhere All At Once
