To further mine the food-as-aphrodisiac theme of this film, Miramax persuaded 30 Mexican restaurants nationwide to recreate dishes from the film and invited amateur chefs to submit their most seductive recipes for a prize: a trip to Mexico. But the studio's greatest coup was two parties in New York during July, celebrating the fact that the film had outgrossed "Cinema Paradiso" to become the most successful foreign-language film of the last 10 years. The first drew a thousand people (including Mayor David N. Dinkins) to Amazon Village, a TriBeCa nightspot. Partygoers watched the actress Claudette Maille reprise the film's nude horseback-riding scene on the West Side Highway, then feasted on a wedding banquet identical to the one in the movie.
