Alamo Drafthouse chef John Bullington doesn’t just make food. As chef at one of the most creative film and food venues in the country, he gets to come up with all those interesting menus to go with movies, like the kung-fu Indian fushion dishes he came up with that helped him win an Iron Chef-style competition at the Drafthouse earlier this year.

The inventive menus aren’t just for show. Bullington’s a serious chef, spending years as the executive chef at the now-closed Mars, and this week, he’ll be serving food alongside some of Austin’s best chefs at La Dolce Vita next week, the annual fundraiser for the Austin Museum of Art that is considered one of the best food events of the year. Word is he’ll be serving shrimp cakes with Drafthouse-turn-Highball chef Trish Eichelberger.

What three things are always in your fridge? Milk, lots of fruit, and sharp cheddar. We have a 2- and 4-year-old and these are the necessities. What’s your favorite condiment? Mustard, I currently have 5 kinds. What’s your go-to late-night snack? Popsicles for sweet or a cheese and pickled jalapeno nacho for savory both are great and easy after a long day
