20 Things You Didn't Know About Gilmore Girls

The Friday night dinner scenes became an integral part of Gilmore Girls, often involving a lot of tension and conflict between Lorelai and her parents and it could be quite a tough pill to swallow within the show's usual frothy tone. But Lauren Graham said they were her favourite parts of the series to film because she liked performing all the drama and comedy they often involved. Graham also revealed a secret that the food at the table didn’t taste as delicious as it looked.

Apparently, Sally Struthers (Babette) played a game where the cast would have to guess what was in her purse just to help pass the time.
