The Gatsby Grille Menu
Appetizers & Salads
Deviled Eggs of T.J. Eckleburg
Freshly made and garnished with green olives and paprika, the eyes themselves represent the Eyes of T.J. Eckleburg and their watching over the devilish actions of the characters.
• • •
Green Light Salad
Collection of fresh spring greens, "East" hard boiled eggs, drizzled in a white balsamic vinegar dressing, and garnished with daisies. The eggs represent Daisy's home on East Egg; the dressing the irony in the meaning of the color white; the greens the Green Light symbol.
Main Entrees
American Dream Cheeseburger
As traditional as something can get, this cheeseburger represents the role of the American Dream in the book. Although many of the characters strive for this, the concept is an ultimate failure.
• • •
Upper Crust Pizza
Made with a thin crispy crust, a light tomato basil sauce, and thickly cut mozzarella cheese, this high-quality entree represents the materialistic and affluent obssesiveness of the characters in the book.
Desserts
Guilty Pleasures Chocolate Cake
Moist and warm, this decadent chocolate cake represents the guilty pleasures and wrongdoings of the book’s characters. Even though it seems right to the characters, the consequences overrule the pleasure.
• • •
Red Velvet Cake
This moist cake with cream cheese frosting represents the overall concept of love. The white frosting again represents the irony in the color’s meaning and how purity is not represented. The food coloring to make the cake red represents how love is largely overrated and a fake concept within the book.
