An extremely fun little slide show/essay on restaurant life as depicted in the movies here.

While the chef has been a popular figure in film for decades, our current fascination with food television and celebrity chefs has made us hungrier for accurate representations of the professional kitchen. To get the cooking details right, the No Reservations filmmakers consulted with the French Culinary Institute, while members of the Ratatouille team interned with Thomas Keller at French Laundry and spent time in the kitchens of several multistarred kitchens in Paris. But believably depicting life in the kitchen goes beyond set design and flaming pans.

I'm on the pavement

Thinking about the government.

That was wonderful :biggrin: My favorite restaurant movies are Dinner Rush, Tampopo, and ,of course, Ratatouille :cool:

Thanks for sharing! That was really fun...

Like most people, I loved ratatouille.... but was I only person to feel just a little like retching during the seen where the army of rats start cooking? Despite all the magic of pixar, I just couldn't forget that they were.... rats....
