Menu

Drink: Water

Water will be served at the Lock-in because water is part of "Watergate."

Drink: Coffee

Coffee will be a drink served at the party because in "All the President's Men," Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are constantly seen drinking coffee in order to stay awake and on top of the story. It will also be necessary to have caffeine at the Lock-in because guests will be expected to stay awake for 12 hours.

Appetizer: Cottage cheese and pineapple

Cottage cheese and pineapple will be the main dish at the Watergate Lock-in because cottage cheese and ketchup was President Nixon's favorite meal. He would often exchange the ketchup for pineapple, which is was his last meal in the White House.

Main Course: Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken

Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken is an appropriate dish to serve at the Lock-in because of the annexation of Hawaii during the 1970s. Pineapple chicken was also a popular dish during the 1970s.

Desert: Crepes

Crepes will be served for desert because they resemble paper because of their thinness. Paper was a common theme throughout "All the President's Men" and the Watergate Scandal. Bob and Carl were constantly rummaging through papers, especially the borrowing records from the Library of Congress in addition to the papers that the 5 burglars stole from the DNC Headquarters during the break-in.

Desert: Watergate Salad

Watergate salad will be served at the party because it was a popular dish during the 1970s. Watergate salad is made up of pistachios, crushed pineapples and pineapple juice, marshmallows, chopped nuts, and whipped cream. The concoction is interesting and at first glance does not look very good, it also has various ingredients scattered throughout the desert similar to the Watergate scandal. There was always more to discover.

Desert: Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is the last thing served on the menu at the party. Similar to the Watergate salad, the carrot cake has various carrot chunks hidden throughout. Most of them are thin carrot strips which are similar to the wires used during the break-in for the wire taps. The white and creamy cream cheese frosting also covers up the hidden carrot pieces similar to how Nixon covered up the scandal.
