With their passed appetizers, cocktail chatter, and gift bags, film premieres are essential to Hollywood — and in current circumstances, impossible. However, at least one premiere is moving forward in its own modified, social-distanced way: To celebrate the release of “Blow the Man Down” on Prime Video Friday, Amazon Studios has tapped a set of companies impacted by the crisis to bring the party to peoples’ homes — with everything but the schmooze included.
This evening, some 100 people in Los Angeles will receive a hand-delivered basket to enjoy on their couches in sweats. Put together by Annie Cambell Catering from local vendors, the Maine-themed dinner (to match the film’s setting) will include lobster rolls, heirloom carrots, and little gem salad for dinner, drinks from Helen’s Wines, truffles and blueberry cobbler from Valerie Confections, saltwater taffy from The Magic Nut & Candy Co., and even a linen set from Heather Taylor Home.

Last week on “Hell’s Kitchen,” Bronx-based rookie chef Jose DeJesus proved incapable of cooking the veal correctly and was sent on his way after embarrassing Gordon Ramsay during a charity event dinner service. His succinct summation of the chef-testant’s sin: “On a night when it should have been ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ giving back to some amazing charities, it was the charities that ended up giving back Jose’s raw veal.” The number of contenders have dwindled down to a kind-of heavenly seven. Below, check out our minute-by-minute recap of “Hells Kitchen” Season 18, Episode 11, titled “Devilish Desserts,” to find out what happened January 11.
9:03 p.m. Bret Hauser resents that Red teammate Trevor McGrath pled his case against being eliminated last week by proclaiming, “I have more fight in me than anyone here.”
9:04 p.m. After being told by Ramsay to “piss off,” Bret, Trev and Motto scoot out of the kitchen.
