I was gossiping about FOOD52 today on fb w/a college friend living in England, and remembered this video. I sent her this video. I LOVE this video. I love you two for making this video. Amanda looks like John Hurt when he played Caligula in I, CLAUDIUS. Merrill's a sexy dancer!

Looking back I think I've had this during many a late night during the Haight Ashbury days. The name Disco Fries works just as well as calling it, the munchies! Yep, just as well!

OMG, one of the funniest things I've ever seen! The messed up make up, the dancing, the sleeping during the microwaving--awesome! You go girls!

I love - no LOVE - this video. And I can't wait to search for all the site's videos tagged with "bitchin outfits."

I just notice now… Amanda made a few changes in her kitchen, right? White kitchen cabinets…

I was so scared when I saw food54 - I thought hackers had been at it! Then I cracked up. Wow. There's no end to the mystery and refreshing that you guys are. Everyday I am grateful for food52!

Oh no, a day late! Merrill, have your hormones come down to earth yet?
Seriously, I could have used this yesterday!

Ha! I know that basement. Looks like the house-sitter is running with those bad girls again.

I'm busting a gut laughing here...
I forgot about April Fool's Day, none here. I was in the kitchen and the soundtrack started when my husband booted up the computer. I yelled at him, "So the playlist is Disco for tonight?"
"No, no, it's your food52!"
"What?????"
You guys really captured an era.

Wow, this is such a helpful video! And I had no idea that you could actually buy gravy in a jar. I must not be shopping in the right places. This is exactly the kind of dish I love to serve to company, whether or not we're nursing hangovers, so I'm really excited about putting all these great tips to work, soon! ;o)

Ladies! The make-up alone had me laughing so hard I could hardly hear the audio. I am off to look for those glitter eyelashes. My life is not complete until I find them. You hit ALL the right notes - except one: you forgot the green chile on the disco fries! Or at least some bottled salsa, since you guys do not get green chile in the freezer section of your local supermarket. Nothing cures hangovers like some good chile.

Just love this. So you finally let your hair down! Is that the real you and you just aching to be free? Haven't stopped smiling. It is bookmarked, and will revisit when the need arises. What I would like to see... of the out-takes. How many times did you have to reshoot this? You surely couldn't keep a straight face right out of the box, could you?

We were very concerned last week when you showed up at the house coverd in glitter. Now it all makes sense. Hysterical!

I hope you two had as much fun making this as I did watching. Wonderful entertainment for a dreary Sunday afternoon. Happy April Fool's Day.

"Like the ridges for holding the gravy" OMG . . . I was so confused until I realized that this has to be an April Fool's trick. That didn't stop my 18 yr old son from commenting that he would definitely eat the disco fries.

The Wonder Bread pillow was too funny. And the earrings and eyelashes! Love the room you filmed the dancing in. Groove on, ladies.

I would post some crazy party stuff, but from today onwards I decided to stick to tested familiar recipes that everyone has heard of, no more novel, 'nobody's heard of it' Panfusine stuff :-(

Could today possibly be April 1st? I love your outfits and makeup and your dance moves were terrific. Great earrings, Amanda. Glad you girls are having fun. Can't wait to try those "disco fries" as they looked really outrageous. You girls should definitely stick with your new hair colors as they are so becoming. I am still laughing.

I was just going to comment on the earrings - I totally remember them and I have a similar pair from Frances Burrows that I wore all the time in the late '80s "dress like Madonna" era!
This video is the funniest thing ever! You gals are giving the Justin-Timberlake-on-SNL videos a run for their money. The music is the best - will you be releasing the soundtrack?
I'd write more but, as your self-appointed PR agent, I've got to blast Food54 all over the social media world. xo

There was a very in restaurant in NYC in the 80s called One University Place where the big hit was the Fried Zucchini--zucchini cut into long strips, soaked in milk then fried in light flour dusting, covered in parmesan, topped with lemon. THAT was DISCO.

Since my liver is on a sabbatical I didn't tie one last night. Therefore I was going to go with a boring scrambled egg for breakfast, but I'm convinced now that fries + gravy + cheese whiz = nirvana. Thanks ladies. Oh yes, that's a good look for you.

Oh Oh Oh! where can I get a pair of those fish shoes?!
I lived in NYC in the 70s, the Golden Age of Disco. There was a great shoe store in the Village around the corner from Electric Ladyland recording studio. And yes, there in the window were a pair of gold platform boots, with clear plastic platforms, and there were goldfish swimming in them. Truly, no joke. I was fascinated.

Such a good video ladies!! Whoever picked the disco soundtrack rocks! I'd recommend Eggs Benedict - heavy on the Hollandaise, a Kentucky Bloody Mary, with a side fries & good friends to boot as the perfect hangover cure.

This is so great! You two are hilarious and the whole homepage is amazing. My mama always did say that the best hangover cure was "Vitamin G" (G = grease) so I think your Night Fever aftermath will be cured in no time with those amazing fries!

Very funny! Even better, the cheese whiz doesn't melt-a definite bonus for keeping things looking fresh, edible considerations aside ;-)

You guys make Eddie and Patsy proud! AbFab video - and what better place for a nap than on the stove? Hangover food = ice cold watermelon and a dunk in the pool. Works like a charm. In the summer.

Like, you've like never like looked better! But like what brand of gravy do you like recommend? And like, should it be, like beef, or like chicken or like turkey? If you don't like have any fries, my tip is like you can just like mainline the cheese. And it like fits in your purse. So you can sneak it into clubs.
