Nowadays Jonathan Bennet a.k.a Aaron Samuels a la Mean Girls is doing a lot more than wearing pink on Wednesdays. Recently the Mean Girls alum partnered with the National Pork Board for a new social media series, “On Wednesday We Cook Pork.”

With both National Pork Month and National Mean Girls Month falling in October, the National Pork Board has teamed up with the star. The series runs every Wednesday in October on the National Pork Board’s social media channels and website – see here.

In each episode, Jonathan will be joined by guest cooks Carnie Wilson or Joey Lawrence. All of the recipes are adapted from Jonathan’s “Burn Cookbook: The Unofficial Cookbook for Mean Girls Fans.” 

Although Mean Girls was 17 years ago, the film still resonates with all of us today. “I think we all knew it was something special when we were filming it. But I don’t know that any of us knew just how big it would become,” Jonathan shares. “It speaks to Tina Fey’s brilliance. Everyone’s been to high school, everyone’s experienced these types of social cliques, so everyone can relate in one way or another generation after generation.”

In terms of how does he celebrate Oct.3 currently, the actor revealed, “I light three candles in honor of Lindsey Lohan and October 3rd, and then I eat a toaster strudel.” Grool!
