The highly anticipated finale of “Stranger Things” is set to premiere on Netflix on December 31 at 8 p.m. ET. In a recent episode of The New York Times Cooking series “The Pizza Interview,” co-stars Finn Wolfhard and Natalia Dyer shared some light-hearted moments and culinary revelations while making pizza together.
During the chat, the duo hailed Joe Keery, who portrays Steve Harrington, as the best cook among the cast. Wolfhard noted that Keery has impressed them with his culinary skills, notably preparing an “amazing” steak accompanied by a chimichurri sauce. Dyer echoed Wolfhard’s sentiments, highlighting a “chicken thing” that Keery cooked effortlessly.
While Keery holds the title of the best cook, Wolfhard also shared his passion for Asian cuisine. He talked about hosting a dinner party where he attempted to make a Japanese hot pot, although he humorously admitted it turned out to be “way too salty.” Fortunately, he redeemed himself with a successful kimchi stew.
Dyer confessed that making pizza was initially “a little intimidating” but reflected on how the cast had discussed wanting to have pizza nights together during the filming of the final season. However, despite their intentions, they often found themselves preoccupied and ended up ordering takeout instead.
As viewers await the series finale, the second set of episodes for Season 5 became available on Netflix on December 25. Dyer has expressed a mix of emotions regarding the series finale, stating she felt satisfied with her character’s conclusion but also experienced a sense of confusion and sadness over the show’s end.
With the finale just around the corner, fans are eager to see how the epic saga concludes. The adventures of the beloved characters from Hawkins, Indiana, have captivated audiences around the world, making the upcoming finale even more special.
