Coffee At Luke's: An Unauthorized Gilmore Girls Gabfest (Smart Pop Series) - Plot & Excerpts
The cake doesn’t have legs! (“Red Light on the Wedding Night,” 2-3) Somewhere in between talking and reading lies this show’s third passion: Food. Luke cooks it, Taylor sells it, Emily and Richard barter tuition to get Lorelai and Rory to come eat it with them, and everybody talks about it endlessly. In an effort to unpack the overload of groceries, Gregory Stevenson talks about what pudding, coffee, and Rice-a-Roni mean to Gilmore Girls. I AM A MOST UNLIKELY FAN of Gilmore Girls: a thirty-something, testosterone-fueled male whose ideal recreation involves bruising football matches and obscure martial arts; a person who any day would choose a horrible Steven Seagal movie over anything starring Meryl Streep. And yet I find myself enamored of this family drama about mothers and daughters who do nothing but talk. How do I explain this? I attribute my fascination to two things: small-town community and food. I grew up in a small town, so the close-knit identity and wacky characters of the fictional Stars Hollow ring true to me.
