Any fan will tell you…some of the best moments on FRIENDS center around food. Ross’s famed turkey sandwich, Rachel and Chandler’s stolen cheesecakes, basically any and every Thanksgiving episode, ALL THE PIZZA…
I have never craved pizza as much as I do watching this show.
On May 6, 2004, the last episode of FRIENDS aired on NBC. For many fans, it was the end of an era. More than 52 million people tuned in to watch “The Last One”, making it the sixth most watched television series finale in US history. To celebrate the anniversary of the show that forever changed the TV sitcom, we will be celebrating FRIENDS all week this week!
And, really, what better way to celebrate than with food? I mean, I know Joey would agree…
PS – Joey is, and forever will remain, my favorite FRIEND. Am I the only one in the universe who was KIIIIINDA pushing for him and Rachel to work out? Probably…I’m also probably the only one who hated Ross. HATED HIM. HATE HIM.
ANYWAY – back to food!
Here are six amazing recipes inspired by great moments on FRIENDS. From Ross’s turkey sandwich to Phoebe’s “secret” cookie recipe, here are six great recipes to make for your next binge watch! Not feeling creative? You could always put an order in for the “Joey Special”!

yes, please do share! I wasn’t a superfan myself when it was on TV…I recently got back into it now that it’s streaming. It’s a bit dated now but still enjoyable! 🙂 I can appreciate it much more now in my 30’s than I could when I was watching it as a teen.
