Exactly 25 years after the audience tied the band 1-1 in a chess rivalry, Phish challenges YOU to a rematch as part of a special New Year’s Eve “Dinner And A Movie”. We’ll be presenting Phish’s first New Year’s Eve show from Madison Square Garden — 12/31/95 — in its entirety, beginning at 8:30 pm ET at webcast.livephish.com. Watch the full announcement video here. To pace yourself over a long evening, we present some chess cheese board recipes for extended grazing. Our friend Marissa Mullen put together two options — “Olive Cheese Dreams” and “Billy Bries” — with an easy ‘cheese by numbers’ guide. Feel free to swap out any of the ingredients if there’s something else you prefer. Pair with the bubbly of your choice. For dessert, chessboard cookies! Recipes can be found at livephi.sh/chessmenu.

Dinner And A Movie is back this Saturday night! This week, we go back to Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA. Way back, that is, to November 22, 1997. Join us on the couch, Saturday November 28 at 8:30 pm ET at webcast.livephish.com. The dinner part of the evening comes from Nashville-based chef Ryan Poli, formerly of the famed Catbird Seat restaurant. To balance out your Thanksgiving feasting, Ryan opted to serve up some (mostly) lighter but no less fantastic fare: butternut squash soup with chipotle chiles and popcorn, a brussel sprouts salad and a sticky toffee pudding with a spiced caramel sauce. Recipes below! Tag photos of whatever you make at #phishdinnerandamovie.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the kitchen, Dinner And A Movie returns with a vengeance (and dripping in blood) on Halloween night! Instead of one full show, we’ll present a triple feature of Phish’s Halloween costume sets over the years. First up is “Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House”, from 2014 in Las Vegas. Then we’ll go back to 1996, to The Omni in Atlanta for Talking Heads’ “Remain in Light”, before finishing off the evening back in Vegas as Phish performs Kasvot Växt’s groundbreaking “í rokk” from 2018. Join us next Saturday, October 31 at 8:30 pm ET at webcast.livephish.com.

A graduate of the Vermont’s New England Culinary Institute, Justin cooked at acclaimed restaurants all over the country before returning to Burlington this summer to open casual French eatery C’est Ca.

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!

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.

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.
