3. Menu

1. Crystal Pepsi

Crystal Pepsi will be served at the event because of the fact that spies are involved everywhere within the Bridge of Spies. This drink tastes like regular Pepsi but hide that fact with its clear color like how spies are great at hiding things and being transparent. 


2. Coffee

Coffee will be served at the event because throughout the film, Bridge of Spies, coffee is repeatably consumed and was very popular at the time. In a certain point in the movie James B. Donovan, played by Tom Hanks, gets a cold and tries to help by consuming many fluids like coffee and alcohol.


3. Jelly-Filled Doughnuts

Similar to the Crystal Pepsi, the Jelly-Filled Doughnut has an outward appearance that does not show what is inside. The outside is a round piece of dough while the inside hides the jelly that cannot be cleanly seen. It is like spies hiding things and having an outward appearance that is different from what is truly going on. 


4. Sushi

Sushi is a food that people either greatly love or despise. One or the other. In the Rudolf Abel case, most of society wanted Abel dead because of his work as a spy for the Russians but James B. Donovan saw the good in him and realized he was just doing his job just like all Americans. In the Rudolf case, people either greatly wanted Rudolf Abel dead or wanted to see him live. One or the other.


5. Beef Stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is a traditional Russian meal and correlates with the film, Bridge of Spies, because about half of run time is within Russia. Much of the movie is set in Russia and Rudolf Abel is strong woven with Russian tradition.
