Eno Wine

For our first Food & Film screening of 2025 we’ll be showing the much requested 2009 romantic comedy, Julie & Julie. Following the iconic journeys of two ambitious home cooks turned culinary muses, Julia Child and Julie Powell.

As Nora Ephron’s last film, Julie & Julia is full of memorable kitchen moments, romance, and recipes that will make even the most amateur of home cooks yearn to Master the Art of French Cooking for themselves.

Following the screening, we’ll be inviting VIP ticket holders back to Vivienne Culinary Books (2724 NE Alberta St.) to sip the finest Burgundies and Bordeaux, and sample a delightful spread of dishes from Julia’s repertoire. VIP tickets include a welcome drink, small plates, and admission to the film. Julie & Julia starts at 6 pm and the after party kicks off at 8:30 pm. Ticket link in bio!

Our Food & Film collab series with Vivienne Culinary Books, the Hollywood Theater and Eno Wines continues with Jiro Dreams of Sushi, a 2011 Japanese-language American documentary film directed by David Gelb. It follows Jiro Ono, a then-85-year-old sushi master and owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a Michelin three-star, 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant located in a Tokyo subway station. The film also profiles Jiro’s two sons, both of whom are also sushi chefs. The younger son, Takashi, left Sukiyabashi Jiro to open a mirror image of his father’s restaurant. The 50-year-old elder son, Yoshikazu, obliged to succeed his father, still works for Jiro and is faced with the prospect of one day taking over the flagship restaurant.

Filmmaker Gelb describes, “when I got to Jiro’s restaurant, I was not only amazed by how good the sushi was and how much greater it was than any other sushi restaurant I had ever been to, but I also found Jiro to be such a compelling character and such an interesting person. I was also fascinated by the story of his son, who is fifty years old, but still works for his father at the restaurant. So, I thought, “Here’s a story about a person living in his father’s shadow while his father is in a relentless pursuit of perfection.” 

Following the screening our Food & Film partners are hosting a food focused after party at Vivienne Culinary Books at 2724 NE Alberta St. You’ll enjoy a welcome sake cocktail, and feast on a progression of Izakaya dishes and Japanese bites inspired by the film and their exquisite collection of cookbooks. VIP Ticket includes film screening, sake cocktail, and food.

For our spring installment of Food and Film, we’re screening 1992’s beloved magical realism masterpiece Like Water for Chocolate. Director Alfonso Arau’s gorgeous adaptation of Laura Esqquivel’s novel runs deep with themes of forbidden love, insatiable appetites and so many deeply soulful Mexican recipes.

After the screening we’ll be hosting a VIP After Party inspired by the glorious dishes featured in the film (VIP tickets are $52 general admission, and $47 for members). The celebration kicks off at 8:30 p.m. and VIP admission includes a ticket to the screening, a welcome drink and a line up of small plates and Mexican wines pulled from the scenes of Like Water For Chocolate at Vivienne Culinary Books’ new location at 2724 NE Alberta Street.
