... that Jonathan Reynolds deep fried a real turkey during his performance of Dinner With Demons at the Second Stage Theater, New York? Source: "In 2003 Ms. Ettinger had the challenge of creating the set for a one-man show that marked Mr. Reynolds’s return to acting after a long layoff. It was called “Dinner With Demons,” and in it Mr. Reynolds cooked a full dinner, including deep-frying a turkey, while relating assorted anecdotes. That required putting a functioning kitchen onstage at the Second Stage Theater in Midtown. Legal restrictions meant the audience did not get to eat the meal; the backstage crew was the beneficiary." from: Genzlinger, Neil (11 November 2021).

It's long enough, new enough. There's a bit of close paraphrasing in there but it stays on the right side. The hook is verified, the references reliable. Drmies (talk) 22:41, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
