John Lenard is a professional chef who was hired by Tim Heidecker to oversee the menu at Six Bag Cinemas.
History
Lenard attended Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School.[1] He met Tim at the Four Points hotel in Oklahoma City, where Lenard was working in the hotel kitchen. Tim said he was served “best piece of fish I ever had” and asked to meet the chef.[1] Tim then hired Lenard to be the head chef and create the menu for Six Bag Cinemas, a proof-of-concept hybridization of cinema viewing and fine dining.[2]
Lenard's menu for Six Bag Cinemas consisted of upscale options, often containing garlic aioli, truffle oil, and kobe beef. He said his personal favorite menu item was the popcorn shrimp.[1] Gregg Turkington hated the truffle oil popcorn, and suspected Lenard microwaved most or all of his dishes.
Tim fired Lenard from Six Bag Cinemas before S9E04 due to “cleanliness issues” and various culinary disagreements, particularly the level of spiciness in some of the dishes. Tim decided to reconfigure the menu himself, although he kept many of Lenard's dishes.[3]
