I recently spoke with Wil Wheaton, probably best known for his role as Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation, or if you are my four-year-old son, the voice of Blue Beetle, Aqualad and Darkstar. He did a recent guest spot on TNT’s Leverage and I talked with him about it. You can read the whole Wil Wheaton interview over on CliqueClack TV. For CliqueClack Food, though, I decided to ask Wil what it was like eating on the set of Leverage.
I’ve read all about the swanky spreads they have for the stars on some sets, complete with gourmet chef or specialty caterer. Was it like that on Leverage‘s set?
Since they “filmed just about everything in or near downtown Portland, which is swarming in awesome food carts,” Wil used Food Carts Portland (yeah,I know, who even knew a site like that existed?) “to find a different place to eat every day, and went ‘off campus’ for lunch.”
Want to know what is favorite was? He “especially loved the five-dollar lunch special from Bombay Chaat House at 12th and Yamhill”: naan, rice, dal tarka, aloo saag and navratan korma. Mmmmm … now I want Indian food — curried cauliflower, anyone?
