Ritz crackers will be one of the orderves served. Ritz Crakers can be seen being eaten by Bob Woodward at the beginning of All The Presidents Men. Serving Ritz is a small reference to the movie which can easily be missed, just like some of the information about Watergate can be overlooked.

Coffee will also be served. The guests will need a caffeine boost to get through the scavenger. In the movie, the reporters can be seen drinking coffee at the various parlors that they were invited into when interviewing people.  

Taste of Home

The main dish being served is crown roast with apricot dressing. The way this dish resembles a crown represents the power Nixon and his campaign had over America. Most people trusted the government before Watergate so it came as a big shock when the people found out that Nixon was involved. By the end of the party, this dish will be eaten, symbolizing a crown being destroyed, just like Nixon's power over America was destroyed. 

Inspired Taste

For our vegetarian option, we will be serving vegetable spaghetti. Spaghetti sounds like the name Sergretti. Donald Sergretti was in charge of running a campaign to work against the Democrats. He used sneaky tactics including forging letters to make democrat officials look bad. He was being paid by Nixon's lawyer, Herb Kalmbach. 

Easy Good Ideas

The last dish main that will be served may be obvious for a Watergate themed party, but it just had to be served. That would be Watergate Salad. This dessert literally has Watergate in the name. Just like Watergate, it's hard to tell what is inside this dish just by looking at it. Once you dig around and taste it for yourself, you'll find pistachio pudding, pineapples, marshmallows, and whipped cream.

For a late night snack, McDonald's will be served. In All the Presidents Men, the reporters had to pull some late nights and/or didn't have time to eat a fancy meal. They can be seen grabbing a quick bite to eat at Mcdonalds multiple times in the movie.
