Hypercross: What's to eat?

Kevin is only degree away from Jerry (aka #6) ...

I'm hungry!

Got them all pretty quickly, except for #11. I recognize him, but I couldn't remember his last name and the background didn't help me.

I enjoyed this one!!! I love FOOD!!!!!

I'm 2 degrees from Johnny Depp!

My mom worked with him on Nightmare on Elm Street!

wow #11 is too generic....so many "Dennis" actors.... Quaid, Weaver, Hopper.....

[3] I can't get 11, any hints to what that food is.
edit--got it...

Wow, fun. My girlfriend had to help me with #11.

[8] The food is mentioned in a song from the musical "Barnum"

11 ????

I feel stupid. I solved cryptopix & OWW, then blazed through this and it said, "you're right but we aren't going to save your answer." That's when I found out it was my hubby logged onto this computer, not me. Oh, well. He got some good points, I guess.

#11 was the only difficult one

[13] Still is!

Edit: Didn't know the actor, didn't know the food

I also need a hint for #11 --- absolutely stumped.

Gah. Another post-and-solve, though I had to dig through IMDB to do so...

I STILL need a hint with 11. What is that food supposed to be???
Mashed Potatoes?
Polenta?
Grits?
Plantains?

And I recognize the actor but can't think of what he's been in.

[16] He used to be on Law & Order, among other shows.

Other actors that [11] is not:
john travolta
danny devito
rene russo
gene hackman

He wasn't them in the second movie, either.

[16] It's a generic kind of cereal (ie not a brand name, at least not one that's well-known). It's mentioned in "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute", a song from the musical "Barnum." (I remember this from my old high school musical.)

thanks [17]! i have never even heard of this item.

Mmm blazed through this one. My favorite topic :)

11 -
getcha f***'in shine box

Certainly was no help that the Barnum salt provided led me to this page http://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/barnum_soundtrack/there_is_a_sucker_born_every_minute-lyrics-74839.html which didn't include the word in question...

[17] and digging through IMDb finally provided the answer..

google image search of "actor dennis" worked for me on #11. He showed up on the 1st page.

[16] Dennis Mashed Potatoes, haha

[17]. Got it now, thanks.

Had it all but 11. Thank God for the Scrabble Franklin where I could punch in _X__Y_ And it actually popped into my head before I got to the proper starting letter.
