‘Black Panther’ Menu at Alamo Drafthouse Is Inspired by Ethiopian Cuisine

In anticipation of Black Panther, the Marvel movie focused on the superhero of the same name, Alamo Drafthouse revealed its themed food and drink-menu in honor of the movie. While the special menu is available now, the film premieres in Austin on Thursday, February 15.

A majority of the film takes place in the fictional African country of Wakanada, so Alamo chef Brad Sorenson took inspiration from Ethiopian flavors. He made plentiful use of berbere spice and niter kibbeh (butter with berbere), from popcorn doused with the spiced butter and spicy chicken wings. For sweets, there is a shake made with African coffee and ginger. Read on for the full menu below.

Advanced tickets for Black Panther have sold out very quickly already, more so than other Marvel films.
