That would be the second most amazing thing I could imagine right now, second only to playing a summer Phish tour. Oh well, since we can’t do that, let’s grill!” Thanks to Phish’s tour chef Jim Hamilton for the recipes.

The full show will play this Tuesday at 8:30PM ET at webcast.livephish.com or Phish’s Facebook page. If you’ve ever sent a missive to Phish HQ, there’s a good chance you received a reply from the intrepid Betty Frost, who has worked for the band for over 25 years. Betty’s career with Phish began when she delivered a muffin basket to Mike Gordon’s accountant, and the rest is history. An avid amateur cook, Betty once handily won a pie-baking competition at Vermont’s Champlain Valley Fair. This week, Betty turns to some family recipes for a special ‘Greek Night’: Spanakopita, Lamb Meatballs and a Watermelon Salad.
On May 1, 1989, Phish played the Universal Joint in the basement of Pearl Street — a club in Northampton, MA located downtown at 10 Pearl St. in a space subsequently known as 10 Below. It was an all-ages show with $6 tickets and an extra $2 charge for those under 21. This was a formative time for Phish, who were just about to release their first official studio album, Junta. This Tuesday’s Dinner and A Movie features a 67-minute Set II from that night, and marks the first time it has ever been shown publicly. Page offers up his recollections below, as well as bringing us this week’s recipe for a classic burger, plus a pasta salad and millet cakes.
The next Dinner And A Movie features the band’s July 14, 2019 show from Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI.

The full show will play for free this Tuesday at 8:30PM ET at webcast.livephish.com or Phish’s Facebook page. For this week’s recipe, it’s Breakfast for Dinner! Burlington’s beloved Penny Cluse Café has been serving up breakfast and lunch for over 22 years and a long line for a table is a regular sighting and well worth the wait. While Mike wanted us to make clear that while his regular order (“the salad with grilled tofu and corn and peanut dressing and a side of sautéed spinach with mushrooms and pesto”) is on the healthier side, he thought some of Penny Cluse’s signature breakfast dishes might be more fitting: biscuits with herb gravy and their gingerbread pancakes. The biscuits and gravy are often ordered with 2 eggs, any style. Enjoy!
Our next installment of Dinner And A Movie features Phish’s July 28, 2017 show from Madison Square Garden in NYC. The full show will play for free on Tuesday at 8:30PM ET at webcast.livephish.com or Phish’s Facebook page. The July 28 show was the “Chocolate” night from Phish’s Baker’s Dozen residency at MSG. And so this week, Trey shares the recipe for Federal Donuts’ Double Chocolate Donut, the very same donut handed out to fans on the night of the show. In addition, Federal Donuts is also known for their incredible Fried Chicken sandwiches and we’re including the recipe for that as well. These recipes are below and while they may appear a bit intimidating to the home chef, they’re well worth the effort! (If you’re looking for a vegan alternative to the chicken sandwich, check out this recipe from NYC’s Superiority Burger). Feel free to post photos of your version of this dish, or share whatever you’re making. Tag us at #phishdinnerandamovie.
