A dive into the past, in memory of Luke Perry / Dylan McKay, in the unforgettable TV series "Beverly Hills 90210", to find out what those young (rich) Americans ate and remember what we (young people) ate in the Nineties
For those who grew up in the nineties, West Beverly High was the beacon of popularity. Watching the girls and boys parading through those wide corridors guessing what they would wear and what they would taste made us somehow think we were like them. Or, at least, to try. Certain habits were enough, however, to make us feel terribly defective, there in the background to swallow the dust. In the very first episode of the series of Beverly Hills 90210, aired in 1990, we see, for example, Marianne Moore, one of the most desired ladies of the school, enjoy one sushi during the interval. Stuff that in Milan, in 2019, we would still find to say the least singular and that at the West Beverly High twenty-nine years ago was the norm. And at that time a bit 'all hoped to happen in Beverly Hills just to enjoy the classic Mega Burger from Peach It, the place where the protagonists of Beverly Hills 90210 made an appointment to discuss love, almost never taking the back school books.
Find yourself at Peach It
Nat's famous restaurant is actually inspired by the Apple Pan, discovered by the executive producer Charles Rosin, who discovered where the richest and most spoiled teenagers of the neighborhood found themselves for good food. Together with the Mega Burger, stuffed with two slices of meat, American and Swiss cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and Bermuda onions, another classic of Peach It was the ice cream cups. Above all the Mint Chocolate Marsmallow that was the dish that Woman he ordered whenever he felt sad and embittered. Virtually always. In the menu there were also the fries and i classic burgers with bacon, cheese and avocado. To tickle the appetite of the beautiful Dylan McKay, the late Luke Perry disappeared at the age of 52 for a stroke only a few days ago, but they were the Cheeseburger, better if ordered from the hotel suite where his father lived. In one of the most iconic scenes of the first season we find, in fact, Dylan who, to hit Brandon and other friends, picks up the phone and orders junk food for everyone, so Dad pays. In real life, however, Perry admitted that shortly after Rachel Sharp divorced, she often prepared their favorite dish for their children, Jack and Sophie: lasagna. Failing, so, the myth of all-frozen single dad and pizza at home.
In the TV series and in real life
If in the series we also remember a famous pajama party with the girls awake until late to gossip between a Diet Coke and a game of chips, it is certainly curious to think that Tori Spelling, Woman in the series, has admitted to having fed her five children with junk food because he was the only one who could afford to buy. Flavors certainly not healthier belong to the actress Shannen Doherty, that is Brenda, who has repeatedly admitted that his favorite dish is his mother's cutlet. The blonde Jennie Garth, on the other hand, is more attentive to the line Kelly. In your pantry you would not find anything boxed or canned. Jennie is keen to personally cook all the dishes she prepares for the family, even if the temptations are certainly not lacking. Like white chocolate, on which Garth joked that he did not break his rules as wrapped in foil, or his latest obsession: the banana cupcake with honey and cashews. Certainly in Beverly Hills 90210 a little of everything was eaten and where there was no help, the metabolism came to the rescue.
