John Travolta, renowned for his iconic roles in films, brought a taste of the cinema to life on a Saturday night in Miami. The veteran actor indulged in a culinary experience inspired by one of his most memorable movies—Pulp Fiction. Dubbed the “beefcase,” this unique dish is a nod to the mysterious briefcase from the film, available exclusively at Dave Grutman’s Papi Steak Miami Beach, a hotspot co-owned by David “Papi” Einhorn.
The spectacle unfolded as Travolta arrived at the restaurant to try this famed creation, presented dramatically in a gold-plated briefcase. Video footage captured the moment the case was opened, revealing a massive cut of meat, bathed in glittering lights that recall the mystique of the movie scene. Playing along with the homage, both Travolta and Einhorn reenacted the cinematic moment, with Travolta giving a approving nod to the beef.
For those unacquainted with Pulp Fiction, Travolta’s character, Vincent Vega, alongside Samuel L. Jackson‘s Jules Winnfield, is tasked with retrieving a briefcase for their boss, Marsellus Wallace. The briefcase, upon opening, emits an ethereal glow, though its contents are never revealed, spurring years of fan theories ranging from diamonds to drugs, or even Wallace’s soul.
Einhorn, with a touch of humor, always envisioned the briefcase held a cut of beef, bringing that vision to life with this exclusive item. However, this luxurious experience comes with a steep price—a whopping $1,000. There’s speculation that Travolta’s Miami visit may be related to filming a new project, yet this gourmet adventure surely added a fascinating chapter to his trip.
This experience surpasses any “royale with cheese!” The moment not only bridges Travolta’s storied past with an extravagant present but also elevates Miami’s culinary scene, enticing food lovers and movie buffs alike to wonder if their own dining experience can capture a bit of cinematic magic.
