Riffing Off Shortz And Talvacchio Slices:
Serving up some form-fresh food

This week’s challenge, created by Dominick Talvacchio of Chicago, Illinois, reads: 
Name a food in two words – a total of 11 letters. Some of these letters appear more than once. The food has seven different letters in its name. You can rearrange these seven letters to identify the form in which this food is typically served. What food is it?

ENTREE #1
Name a puzzle-maker in two words – a total of 18 letters. Some of these letters appear more than once. The name of the puzzle-maker contains 12 different letters. You can rearrange these 12 letters to spell four words pertaining to the image pictured here: 
1. & 2. a two-word nickname of the mascot for the advertised product,
3. an initialism for the medium on which the product is being advertised, and 
4. the product itself (which appears on the image as ???). 
Who is the puzzle maker?
What are the mascot nickname, medium initialism and product?
Hint: The product is also the name of a biblical passenger.
ENTREE #2
Name a beefy dish in two words – a total of 11 letters. Some of these letters appear more than once. 
The dish has seven different letters in its name. You can rearrange these seven letters to form an adjective that describes the beef after a early step in the dish’s recipe, before it is egg-washed and rolled in crumbs. 
What beefy dish is this? What is the adjective describing the beef early on in the process. 
ENTREE #3
Name a Christmas holiday beverage in two words – a total of 11 letters. Some of these letters appear more than once. 
The beverage has seven different letters in its name. You can rearrange these seven letters to spell a fruit, one that a little girl may reach deep down into the toe of her Christmas stocking in order to fish out... just, perhaps, as her parents are similarly “getting to the bottom” of their holiday beverages.
What beverage and fruit are these?
New Hint: The beverage can be concocted using an espresso machine.
ENTREE #4
Name a food in eight letters. Some of these letters appear more than once. 
The food has seven different letters in its name. You can rearrange these seven letters to spell a marine mammal species and the name of the female of this species, whose mate is a bull and offspring is a pup.
What food and marine animal are these?
ENTREE #5
Name a food in two words – a total of nine letters. Some of these letters appear more than once. The food has eight different letters in its name. You can rearrange these eight letters to spell an adjective and a kind of meat that you could stuff into the nine-letter food. 
The word for the meat also has an informal meaning that would render redundant the phrase pairing the adjective and word for meat.
Hint #1: Ironically, many people find the meat hard to “stomach.”
Hint #2: Remove the final letter from the two-word phrase containing the adjective and kind of meat to form a new two-word phrase that might result from ingesting “magic mushrooms.”

Magical Mystery Tour Dessert:
