My Dinner With Andre has always been a favorite, as has Diner (He ate the whole left side of the menu). White Palace has some memorable moments as well.

Menus-Plaisirs.Les.Troisgros.2023

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28494786/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_0_q_Menus-Plaisirs.Les.Troisgros.2023.720p.WEBRip.x264-

 

wonderful look at a 3 star French restaurant.

 

no yelling in the kitchen , although the chef did raise his voice a bit

 

as there were too many kidneys in a pan , thus did not brown properly.

 

fascinating how the individual plates are made up for service .

 

I thought two prices were mentions :  350 a d 550 euros mentioned .

 

the second for a wine pairing menu.

 

but they might have been prices for their hotel.

 

i looked for them again , but they vanished.

I watched 'Ramen Teh' or 'Ramen Shop' over the weekend. A Singaporean Japanese French film shot in Singapore.

It was an order of magnitude too schmalzy for me however the food and food culture shown kept me going to the end.

I saw it the other night and it’s a delightful, sensual movie with long, fascinating cooking sequences (including the magnificent opening), and gorgeous photography. Any food lover will enjoy it, for sure! 

 

I finally saw it last night, via DVD. It's wonderful.

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."
