When you think of Landman<\/em>, the first thing that comes to mind is the show\u2019s unforgettable table moments. From smoky barbecues to lavish family feasts, the dinner scenes are as much a character as the oil rigs and boardrooms. In a recent interview with Us\u202fWeekly<\/em>, 23\u2011year\u2011old Paulina\u202fCh\u00e1vez, who portrays the sharp\u2011witted Ariana, opened up about the real\u2011life experience of sitting at the table and the culinary surprises that come with it.<\/p>\n

What Makes Landman\u2019s Dinners So Iconic?<\/h2>\n

Creator Taylor Sheridan, known for his gritty storytelling in Yellowstone<\/em> and Longmire<\/em>, crafted Landman<\/em> to capture the heart of West Texas oil culture. The series follows crisis executive Tommy\u202fNorris (Billy\u202fBob\u202fThornton) as he navigates corporate politics while balancing family life with wife Angela (Ali\u202fLarter), daughter Ainsley (Michelle\u202fRandolph), and son Cooper (Jacob\u202fLofland). The show\u2019s dinner scenes are more than just food; they\u2019re a visual narrative that reflects the family\u2019s dynamics, regional heritage, and the high stakes of the oil business.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e1vez explained that the production team goes to great lengths to make each meal feel authentic. \u201cThe food isn\u2019t just props; it\u2019s real, locally sourced, and often spicy,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a taste of Texas that brings the characters together on screen.\u201d The result is a series of meals that range from hearty barbecues to elegant, themed dinners, each designed to showcase the family\u2019s growth and the evolving storyline.<\/p>\n

Behind the Table: Paulina\u2019s Culinary Confessions<\/h2>\n

During a recent celebration of the National Pork Board\u2019s new \u201cExplora Todo El Gusto Del Pork\u201d campaign, Ch\u00e1vez shared her experience filming the dinner scenes. She praised the quality of the food, noting that it was \u201creally good\u201d and \u201cdelicious.\u201d The spicy dishes, in particular, added an extra layer of flavor to the on\u2011screen drama.<\/p>\n

However, the actress also revealed a less glamorous side of filming: the sheer volume of food. \u201cIt does get to a point where you\u2019re like, \u2018Dang, maybe I shouldn\u2019t have eaten so much in the first takes. Now I have to eat that much and continue to eat that much for hours,\u2019\u201d she joked. \u201cYou skip lunch those days for sure.\u201d Her comment highlights the physical demands actors face when performing in scenes that require multiple takes of elaborate meals.<\/p>\n

Despite the challenge, Ch\u00e1vez remains grateful for the experience. \u201cIt\u2019s super cool to see how the production turns a simple dinner into a storytelling powerhouse,\u201d she said. The actress also expressed excitement about the upcoming season, hoping to see more creative dinner concepts that push the boundaries of the show\u2019s culinary storytelling.<\/p>\n
