Quiche specifically, had a cameo appearance in To Catch a Thief. Hitchcock's recipe appears more often listed with ham (instead of bacon ). What the British call bacon is cut from the pork loin. It is leaner and sliced thicker than American bacon. In the US, British bacon would be equivalent to Back Bacon, which looks more like ham. TMI?
Francis Bacon was an English philosopher and statesman. Kevin Bacon is an American Bacon. The Baconator is Wendy's Bacon Burger.
Good morning! From the introduction to "Arthur." Hitchcock details failed attempts to entice chickens to lay square eggs. The only connection with the story is that the title character (played by Laurence Harvey) is a chicken farmer.

A Brilliant Collection of Behind the Scenes Photos of Alfred Hitchcock “Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf."

The town of Alfred, Maine, was NOT named after Alfred Hitchcock. It was named after the other Alfred, the Great! (Alfred the Great was King of the West Saxons from 871 to 886, and King of the Anglo-Saxons from 886 until his death in 899.}
ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S SAN FRANCISCO "San Francisco is an inherently cinematic city. Its rolling hills, Victorian roof lines, and panoramic vistas would make it a tremendous backdrop for any director — but nobody knew how to film the city better than the legendary Alfred Hitchcock." "Hitchcock fell in love with the city while filming here in 1939. After planting his roots in a sprawling estate an hour south, the Master of Suspense churned out several classics featuring San Francisco — including his masterpiece Vertigo. See the landmarks Hitchcock shot and learn how he used the city’s unique look to create his signature sense of paranoia. Discover what made San Francisco one of Hitchcock’s favorite cities, and gain an even greater appreciation for Hitchcock’s faithful encapsulation of San Francisco in the 1950s and ‘60s. A truly thrilling trip down memory lane."

Alfred Hitchcock's Favorite Steak Dinner Was Hollywood's Iconic Chasen's In an interview with NPR, Tippi Hedren said that it was at Chasen's where the director offered her the leading role in "The Birds" (1963). Hitchcock and his wife Alma also held their joint 75th birthday party at the restaurant in 1974 (another legendary director, Francois Truffaut, attended). Chasen's was also a favorite haunt of Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Groucho Marx, Johnny Carson, Orson Welles, Bing Crosby, Humphrey Bogart, George Burns, Bob Hope, Great Garbo, and Cary Grant (who also starred in four Hitchcock flicks). In short, if you were "somebody" in Hollywood during the 1930s to 1960s, you dined at Chasen's. Hitchcock's long hours spent tableside might have inspired the beautifully-staged upscale culinary scenes that feature prominently in his films, from the exploration of Moroccan dining etiquette in "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1956) to the lobster frites in "Rear Window" (1954), a dish which takes on a much deeper meaning than just a luscious meal. The restaurant at 9039 Beverly Boulevard opened in December 1936 and was run by husband and wife duo Dave and Maude Chasen until Dave's passing in 1973. Dave Chasen was himself a comedian and vaudeville performer, and Hitchcock was reportedly in attendance at Chasen's funeral. Chasen's closed in 1995, 15 years after Hitchcock's passing in 1980.
