Fun fact about “Man’s folly” The primary ingredient in that dish, Dungeness crab, can only have the male crabs harvested and eaten. The females are protected and have to be released from the catch to ensure the population is not overfished. Its thematically resonant with the fact that while the female guests are being served the dish, the male ones are being hunted by Chef’s staff.
Another thing to add about that dish: it's one of the dishes from Chef Crenn's menu that featured for a while (the dish was taken out from the menu only recently).
I've also heard another ex-chef break down another layer to this beyond that: these are ingredients that are considered "difficult to work with"... a complaint a lot of men will say about women who aren't afraid to speak their mind: they are "difficult to work with".
Thank you to everyone who liked my comment. If you ever find yourself in Alaska, find a coastal restaurant that offers both a crabbing tour/reasonably priced tasting menu. Its a fun day at sea/wonderful lunch or dinner.

Raw lamb isn't especially deadly. It's more like beef than chicken or pork, in that cooking the outside is usually sufficient to kill anything dangerous that might be on it. Besides, Hawthorne is one of the classiest and most expensive places on Earth, headed by one of the most obsessive chefs to ever live. There's no way that he's importing lamb from anywhere other than the most strictly-maintained and rigorously-inspected farms on the planet. He ain't getting his lamb from BillyDoe Foods or Sysco.
This made me chuckle cus I do miniature houses as a hobbie and am doing all I can to earn more passive income in order to leave my job and just focus on doing that the entire day 🤪🤣

Fun fact the actor John Leguizamo who played the role of movie star in this film actually ordered Five guys burgers for all the crew and stars on the set because he felt really tempted by the burger at the end of the movie shown.
@@artuno1207Bread can be any cereal grain. For most of history bread made from just wheat would've been beyond luxery. It was posh to even have a bread that was mostly wheat. A lot of the time it was made of oat, barely and pea flour
I love how compared to the rest of the fancy dishes, the cheeseburger looks the most delicious and presentable. In the gourmet business its considered a "peasant dish". Theres no ingredient listing like the other dishes. No fancy name or any added exotic ingredient. But its the most brightly colored and lighted dish. All the other dishes are muted in color and rather sad looking for fine dining. Thats cause the fancy ones were made with contempt and frustration with no passion. But the cheeseburger was made out of pure love. Slowik even made it himself with no help. And the way he carefully and slowly puts it together, placing the buns perfecfly on the burger and smiling. The cheeseburger was the REAL dish in his eyes. Really shows that no matter how intricate and presentable your craft is, it still wont feel, look or taste right if theres no passion or love
I think what I love the most is how the dishes up until the burger are so hallow. Like food only designed for content creation but not to eat. Like what do you eat from the island dish, the plants and that one scallop? I saw the behind the scenes from the chef that designed these dishes for the movie and she did such a fantastic job creating a menu that feels perfectly in tune with the movies premise. I love it.
the "bread-less bread course" shows the contempt the chefs have for the guest. that was a full on spit in the face. and yeah, hollow is a good word for the dishes served.

Which is a silly conclusion. Food can exist in different contexts and be valued in different ways. Having a Michelin starred tasting menu and expecting an experience similar to a barbecue restaurant is just nonsensical. One isn't inherently better than the other.
Ramsay’s snaps on a regular basis that’s what keeps him reasonable. Like a pressure valve releasing. People in touch with their anger are better at co trolling it that people who deny and repress.
What most bothered me were the stones. A plate can have decorations - even a large amount of them - but all of it should be edible. Because when you start adding things that you're only meant to look at, why even make it a dish? You clearly would much rather make other kinds of art.
@@mahtimonni97 That's the point of whole film. He hates them for keep pushing him make "aestethic food" rather than just... Food... Something to eat and fill your stomach, not a fucking miniature.
Im not gonna lie to you, after working in the service industry for so long. I think I'd love to recreate "the mess" at some point. I gotta practice though, so I'll think I'll do it in private.
Like the dish, or what the chef did... Because if you're not feeling well, please seek help. I know this is probably just a random comment and it might not mean anything, but i want you to feel better... I'm sorry that you had to go through things like this... (˘･_･˘)
Food is another form of art, but what’s incredibly frustrating is that some people view it as a painting. When I look at a painting, the first thing that doesn’t come to my mind is “I want to eat that”. The only thing chefs should focus on is the flavor and people leaving their table with a satisfied belly and a smiling face.
fun fact about Tyler's Bullshit: the black stuff on the plate is not pepper. Leeks trap a ton of dirt inside the stems, if you don't cut and wash them correctly the dirt ends up in your food. Tyler didn't know that, he cuts the leeks wrong. The chefs actually mock him for it while he's cutting, but he's too clueless to pick up on it.
i just realised that "The mess" represents the head of the guy who unalived himself: pressure cooked vegetables are the brain that got pressure cooked due to heat and pressure of a gunshot, bone marrow symbolising the skull etc.
@@jimmy2k4o The ones in the movie uses cornflour not cornstarch. And tortillas made from wheat flour can be found in Mexico, USA, and other countries.
@@maeannengo4908 I sit corrected. When he talked about bread traditionally being water + wheat flour I used that as my definition. Chef said it so authoritatively and convincingly. If this was Harry Potter he could convince me to be a death eater. If this was Schindler’s list he could convince me to……..actually I’m not gonna finish that joke….. I looked it up and you’re quite right. Bread made from corn is still bread, ergo tortillas made from corn are still a bread dish.
The most scariest part is he (the main villian)control his workers (staff,cook and boatmen etc.), because he knows everyone is have a same life as him (childhood trauma, depression disorder and borderline etc).
bro i feel so bad for the actor and assistant couple that were killed off because the chef hated the actor’s shit movie and the assistant does not have any student loans… but it’s kinda funny but i feel bad
I think this movie is a modern take on revolutions/regicides against royalty or the upperclass. The dinners are well, the upperclass or royalty (symbolizing various figures across history, like the French royals for example or the Romanovs). Tyler represents those who betrayed them, he's pretty much doomed himself, for his delusions and tainted principles the staff are the revolutionaries who got fed up with the BS and took action into their own hands to bring down the upperclass. I don't know how to put Margot, maybe she is the future generation or hope for the future cause she survived? Or the plot just really needed to have a hero/heroine in the end, cause it's Hollywood. and what better way to symbolize this hero but with a burger, american cheeseburger. Or maybe she's basically the Final girl, if fine dining is a horror movie. and the chef is the antagonist but really tortured anti-hero, because the plot twist is that by moral standards, the victims were at fault. That's it, Margot is just the final girl. That's the main reason she survived.
I think you have trouble placing Margot because you also didn't place Slovik. They are the main characters and the balancing duo of the movie. And also i agree with the lower class vs higher class theory but you forgot that the main driving force here wouldnt be monarchy but the system of capitalism. I would place Slovik as the artist who gained fame and riches thanks to sucking up to higher class, who finally saw through the lie of capitalist propaganda. Nothing he did was ever enough. Not fancy enough, not expensive enough, not complicated enough. He realised that he wasted his life cause his talent and passion didn't actually matter for his fame. The system is rigged, it doesn't matter that his cheeseburgers were the best food ever made, cause nobody actually cares about quality, only about the number on the price. He wants every capitalist he can find, dead, without realising he is doing the same thing that capitalism has done to him. He doesn't give a chance to people to live their dreams with passion. He couldve served all of them the cheeseburgers he loves. Show them its better. But at this point human life doesn't matter to him and his passions are forgotten. He IS part of the system. He IS the upper class. Then theres also his crew. Theyre not upper class, but theyre also capitalists. They believed the lie and i dont think they saw through it. They were willing to work and die to please who they think was the system (Slovik), the person who could promise them the fame and riches, but even when they die for him, they die unknown. They and Slovik and Tyler are actually the same but they dont know it. Tyler knows hes a capitalist and he supports capitalism, crew dont know they are capitalists but they support capitalism, Slovik doesn't know he is a capitalist and he THINKS he doesn't support it. Now Margot is an innocent person who as the saying goes "can't have ethic consumption under capitalism". She is extremely lower class. Lower than Slovik was. After all he did find his dream job in the kitchen, she had to do sex work to survive. She was victim to an unfair life, objectification (Tyler knowing they will die and taking her with him cause she essentialy has no worth as a person for him) and whims of upper class (her going through the awful fetish of the one rich guy in the movie). She wasnt supposed to be there because she is innocent, but because Slovik didnt know who she was and that she's not from upper class, he still wanted to kill her. But he had to find a reason. "Only capitalists kill for no reason", he needed to explain why she had to die so he could lie to himself that he's not the part of the system, even though through looking for excuses he has just proven that he is exactly that. Esentially Margot is who Slovik thought HE was. An opressed person, disregarded and used by the system, who had no choice but participate in the system now revealed to be the whole event. Slovik was however too far gone to spare anybody. Until she reminded him who he wanted to be. The passionate person cooking cause he loves it, not because its expensive. Nobody else in the room wouldve thought to ask for cheeseburger cause even in the face of death capitalists just go with it. They dont fight against it, they sit and cry and think they have no power and dont try to fight together. Margot survived because Slovik finally realised that all he was doing was still the capitalism that hurt him and if he kills this innocent person he will hurt the society he still deep down cared about. It was too late for anybody else, but he saw young himself in Margot, struggling but still finding enough fight to survive. Because that's what you do as lower class in capitalism. You fight. Always. And nobody else did fight but Margot who was used to it.
@@croissant2882 but isn't making cheeseburgers also participation in capitalism? isn't the cheeseburger itself a symbol of the rotting capitalisic west and the american bourgeoisie dream?
@@makeart-notwar-6732 is it? to me a cheeseburger is just a cheeseburger. something you eat. and isn't the notion that foods need to have some theme or meaning that lead to this whole mess?
3:54 The comedy here is threefold. 1) Why sit so close to the window? Even if they didn't see you go in, they'll see you once they walk around the chicken coop. 2) Passard egg - dressed up like the fool dressed up and hiding in the coop. 3) The blase way the window was opened and the sarcastic or genuine way (your call) the line worker delivers his lines.
According to the creators, all the dishes in the film were designed to be "beautiful, but lifeless." right up until the cheeseburger, which is practically glowing.
I like how none of the food in this movie looks particularly appetizing, or even something I would eat, all except the cheeseburger! I feel that was intentional, as, let's be honest, as artistically impressive/significant these dishes are, most people don't care about that, and instead cares about how it tastes. Seriously, how many of you would rather have "The Island" for dinner, instead of a cheeseburger?
It's the 2nd thriller I've ever stayed and watch till the end, cuz it has a point about artists that long for proper appreciation of their arts or just expecting too much
I could never lose my passion for cooking. I'm glad he remembered what it was like when you do it with love. Passion. And that was a good cheeseburger.
This movie is about choosing art over hunger and which it cost millions just to eat it Like fxk that I rather choose hunger more than expensive art bullcrap for my food
This is Voldemort's Menu. I've watched it more than five times this year alone. Every detail and concept keeps surprising me-it's such a unique film, filled with a special kind of realism. It's not your typical visual movie experience; it's like being in a circular space within a British theater.
The moment Tyler bats away Margot’s hand like a naughty child, I’d be calling him ‘Amuse Douche’ the entire night (thanks to the film Chef for that one)
deeply upsetting that the most boring people on the planet watch this movie and think the takeaway is "things that i don't understand are bad and i'm right to think so" but i guess that's part of the irony.
@@bradmikkelsen8960I think OP is saying that normies(?) believe one of the takeaways of this movie is that artistic and weird takes on dishes are bad or something.
I wonder if they're going to turn Slowik into some unkillable monster like Jason, Freddy, Chucky, Michael, and you get the idea with a culinary theme and milk him for money with sequel after sequel after sequel.
Fun fact about “Man’s folly”
The primary ingredient in that dish, Dungeness crab, can only have the male crabs harvested and eaten. The females are protected and have to be released from the catch to ensure the population is not overfished.

That's the point of whole film. He hates them for keep pushing him make "aestethic food" rather than just... Food... Something to eat and fill your stomach, not a fucking miniature.

Try that "breadless bread" and ask some actor that eat that oil.
“Hey sorry you don’t get bread.”
10 minutes later: “here’s tortillas.”
I believe it was corn, not necessarily wheat
TORTILLAS DELICIOSAS.
tortillas are made from corn.
@@jelly_josss2403bread is any baked grain. Rye bread is bread, too.
Tortillas are not baked
Im not gonna lie to you, after working in the service industry for so long.
I think I'd love to recreate "the mess" at some point. I gotta practice though, so I'll think I'll do it in private.
Like the dish, or what the chef did...
Because if you're not feeling well, please seek help. I know this is probably just a random comment and it might not mean anything, but i want you to feel better... I'm sorry that you had to go through things like this... (˘･_･˘)
@@LpsRoseGold
Hm.....
Yes.
0:23 those nails are wayyy too long to be in a kitchen
Really gotta give it to the food stylist in this film who made the food as much a character in this film as the actual characters
Food is another form of art, but what’s incredibly frustrating is that some people view it as a painting. When I look at a painting, the first thing that doesn’t come to my mind is “I want to eat that”. The only thing chefs should focus on is the flavor and people leaving their table with a satisfied belly and a smiling face.
the most fancy place for a death row
You can say the smores tastes is to die for
@@anaiswatterson1696 Also, Chef's pre-service critique of S'mores in general was spot-on!
Honestly, the presention was absolutely fire
Moral of the story: Food is meant to serve your belly, not your ego…
God so much of this looks aesthetically pleasing but like it would taste absolutely vile.
..got some terrible, awful news for you about haute cuisine tasting menus bub😂
It's not aesthetically pleasing to me. Looking at it doesn't make me feel hungry as good food should, rather it makes my stomache feel empty.
This movie taught me how to make one badass cheeseburger and I am eternally grateful for it 🤤
fun fact about Tyler's Bullshit: the black stuff on the plate is not pepper.
Leeks trap a ton of dirt inside the stems, if you don't cut and wash them correctly the dirt ends up in your food. Tyler didn't know that, he cuts the leeks wrong. The chefs actually mock him for it while he's cutting, but he's too clueless to pick up on it.
In French, “course” (written the same way) means “to race”, which is quite fitting.
3:14 "EAT!" 🗣️🗣️
"EAT!"
What my mother expect me to cook after i said i made beans in the microwave
I love how the music sounds right out of a cooking show like chefs table
I guess we mostly agree that many things that chief served were barely a meal.
Red fife wheat originates near my hometown in Ontario, if I remember correctly. Kind of a miracle it exists, when you look at the history
educate my limited mind with your knowledge please
the tehachapi grain project is real, too btw
2:30 "House smoked breast chicken thigh" ... huh?
*Bresse chicken. They’re a heritage breed raised in a specific region of France.
I think this is real restaurant and no one will convince me otherwise
You can eliminate any remote possibility of them convincing you otherwise, as the movie was indeed, filmed in a real restaurant.
i just realised that "The mess" represents the head of the guy who unalived himself: pressure cooked vegetables are the brain that got pressure cooked due to heat and pressure of a gunshot, bone marrow symbolising the skull etc.
I reckon UA-cam sent me this as an algorithm for a reason
Nux and Furiosa before the apocalypse
WITNESS ME make the most atrocious attempt to cook lamb
😂😂 yes!
@@pplesandoranges
WITNESSED!!!!
Ofc Nux would have bad food taste he lives in the wasteland, god knows what kinda food Immortan Joe gave to the Warboys
@@pplesandoranges he is apparently MEDIOCRE at attempting valhalla and cooking 💀
The tortillas would have gone great with the breadless bread plate. Also tortillas is a common man food.
Tortillas are made with cornstarch not wheat like bread.
@@jimmy2k4o The ones in the movie uses cornflour not cornstarch.
And tortillas made from wheat flour can be found in Mexico, USA, and other countries.
@@maeannengo4908 I sit corrected.
When he talked about bread traditionally being water + wheat flour I used that as my definition.
Chef said it so authoritatively and convincingly.
If this was Harry Potter he could convince me to be a death eater.
If this was Schindler’s list he could convince me to……..actually I’m not gonna finish that joke…..
I looked it up and you’re quite right. Bread made from corn is still bread, ergo tortillas made from corn are still a bread dish.
@@jimmy2k4o No worries
This is one of my favorite films of all time
I can imagine Gordon Ramsay just went crazy one day and do a "hunger games" theme to his customers.
The most scariest part is he (the main villian)control his workers (staff,cook and boatmen etc.), because he knows everyone is have a same life as him (childhood trauma, depression disorder and borderline etc).
3:56
I love the formal and almost cheery tone of voice of the staff despite the context of the situation they were in.
bro i feel so bad for the actor and assistant couple that were killed off because the chef hated the actor’s shit movie and the assistant does not have any student loans… but it’s kinda funny but i feel bad
Dark comedy. It’s funny and disturbing.
Tyler's Bullshit actually looks kind of good if it was cooked properly.
@@DBCOOPER888 Babish did it..total abundance of cohesion!
there was no maillard reaction, nothing caramelized, nothing savory, leeks are wet and soupy. BLAND
I think this movie is a modern take on revolutions/regicides against royalty or the upperclass. The dinners are well, the upperclass or royalty (symbolizing various figures across history, like the French royals for example or the Romanovs). Tyler represents those who betrayed them, he's pretty much doomed himself, for his delusions and tainted principles the staff are the revolutionaries who got fed up with the BS and took action into their own hands to bring down the upperclass.
I don't know how to put Margot, maybe she is the future generation or hope for the future cause she survived? Or the plot just really needed to have a hero/heroine in the end, cause it's Hollywood. and what better way to symbolize this hero but with a burger, american cheeseburger.
Or maybe she's basically the Final girl, if fine dining is a horror movie. and the chef is the antagonist but really tortured anti-hero, because the plot twist is that by moral standards, the victims were at fault.
That's it, Margot is just the final girl. That's the main reason she survived.
I think you have trouble placing Margot because you also didn't place Slovik. They are the main characters and the balancing duo of the movie. And also i agree with the lower class vs higher class theory but you forgot that the main driving force here wouldnt be monarchy but the system of capitalism. I would place Slovik as the artist who gained fame and riches thanks to sucking up to higher class, who finally saw through the lie of capitalist propaganda. Nothing he did was ever enough. Not fancy enough, not expensive enough, not complicated enough. He realised that he wasted his life cause his talent and passion didn't actually matter for his fame. The system is rigged, it doesn't matter that his cheeseburgers were the best food ever made, cause nobody actually cares about quality, only about the number on the price. He wants every capitalist he can find, dead, without realising he is doing the same thing that capitalism has done to him. He doesn't give a chance to people to live their dreams with passion. He couldve served all of them the cheeseburgers he loves. Show them its better. But at this point human life doesn't matter to him and his passions are forgotten. He IS part of the system. He IS the upper class.
Then theres also his crew. Theyre not upper class, but theyre also capitalists. They believed the lie and i dont think they saw through it. They were willing to work and die to please who they think was the system (Slovik), the person who could promise them the fame and riches, but even when they die for him, they die unknown. They and Slovik and Tyler are actually the same but they dont know it. Tyler knows hes a capitalist and he supports capitalism, crew dont know they are capitalists but they support capitalism, Slovik doesn't know he is a capitalist and he THINKS he doesn't support it.
Now Margot is an innocent person who as the saying goes "can't have ethic consumption under capitalism". She is extremely lower class. Lower than Slovik was. After all he did find his dream job in the kitchen, she had to do sex work to survive. She was victim to an unfair life, objectification (Tyler knowing they will die and taking her with him cause she essentialy has no worth as a person for him) and whims of upper class (her going through the awful fetish of the one rich guy in the movie). She wasnt supposed to be there because she is innocent, but because Slovik didnt know who she was and that she's not from upper class, he still wanted to kill her. But he had to find a reason. "Only capitalists kill for no reason", he needed to explain why she had to die so he could lie to himself that he's not the part of the system, even though through looking for excuses he has just proven that he is exactly that.
Esentially Margot is who Slovik thought HE was. An opressed person, disregarded and used by the system, who had no choice but participate in the system now revealed to be the whole event. Slovik was however too far gone to spare anybody. Until she reminded him who he wanted to be. The passionate person cooking cause he loves it, not because its expensive. Nobody else in the room wouldve thought to ask for cheeseburger cause even in the face of death capitalists just go with it. They dont fight against it, they sit and cry and think they have no power and dont try to fight together. Margot survived because Slovik finally realised that all he was doing was still the capitalism that hurt him and if he kills this innocent person he will hurt the society he still deep down cared about. It was too late for anybody else, but he saw young himself in Margot, struggling but still finding enough fight to survive. Because that's what you do as lower class in capitalism. You fight. Always. And nobody else did fight but Margot who was used to it.
@@croissant2882well said
@@croissant2882wow this was a great analysis 🎉 this is why I open comment section for real. Thanks for sharing! You are amazing
@@croissant2882 but isn't making cheeseburgers also participation in capitalism? isn't the cheeseburger itself a symbol of the rotting capitalisic west and the american bourgeoisie dream?
@@makeart-notwar-6732 is it? to me a cheeseburger is just a cheeseburger. something you eat. and isn't the notion that foods need to have some theme or meaning that lead to this whole mess?
3:54 The comedy here is threefold.
1) Why sit so close to the window? Even if they didn't see you go in, they'll see you once they walk around the chicken coop.
2) Passard egg - dressed up like the fool dressed up and hiding in the coop.
3) The blase way the window was opened and the sarcastic or genuine way (your call) the line worker delivers his lines.
all that plating for a SINGLE SCALLOP.
Moral of the story: When eating out, order from the food truck. You save money, and your life.
Smore scene is a nod to Midsommar
Next time I watch this film I need to have a cheeseburger on standby.
The Mess actually looks so delicious though.
If you ignore the images on the tacoshells and the scissors, than the third course looks actually kind of delicious.
2:06 The secretary character (I forgot her name) did literally nothing wrong, my girl didn't deserve to die 😭
Two words: Student Loans
SHE WAS STEALING DESPITE BEING RICH.. why people gloss over that?
4:33 this is my favorite line from the movie 💀
According to the creators, all the dishes in the film were designed to be "beautiful, but lifeless." right up until the cheeseburger, which is practically glowing.
I’ve never understood how the first course was supposed to be eaten…
I like how none of the food in this movie looks particularly appetizing, or even something I would eat, all except the cheeseburger! I feel that was intentional, as, let's be honest, as artistically impressive/significant these dishes are, most people don't care about that, and instead cares about how it tastes.
Seriously, how many of you would rather have "The Island" for dinner, instead of a cheeseburger?
i love how the plate for the cheeseburger is ceramic that’s meant to look like paper
"just a well-made cheesburger" Love that part lol
I'd choose that cheeseburger any day of the week.
That cheeseburger was only thing that looked good and not pretentious as fuck
If you haven’t seen the movie that’s kinda the whole point
What, the s'more didn't look appetizing to you?
@@derekw104 Too spicy 4 me
It's the 2nd thriller I've ever stayed and watch till the end, cuz it has a point about artists that long for proper appreciation of their arts or just expecting too much
That bruger looks so fucking good
I could never lose my passion for cooking. I'm glad he remembered what it was like when you do it with love. Passion. And that was a good cheeseburger.
Not surprisingly the only food that actually looked appetizing was the cheeseburger and fries.
4:49
when you diss someone butneed to remain fancy
To any food reviewer out there let this movie be a reminder 😂
This movie is about choosing art over hunger and which it cost millions just to eat it
Like fxk that I rather choose hunger more than expensive art bullcrap for my food
I managed to get through the whole movie,best part of it for me is 5:33,that image of the conflagration reflected in her eyes..beautifully shot scene.
"utter lack of cohesion" lmaoo
5:40 it doesn’t say “chef” as part of the ingredients…
This is Voldemort's Menu.
I've watched it more than five times this year alone. Every detail and concept keeps surprising me-it's such a unique film, filled with a special kind of realism.
It's not your typical visual movie experience; it's like being in a circular space within a British theater.
“Is he gonna keep doing that” was my second favorite jokes behind the student loans joke.
The moment Tyler bats away Margot’s hand like a naughty child, I’d be calling him ‘Amuse Douche’ the entire night (thanks to the film Chef for that one)
deeply upsetting that the most boring people on the planet watch this movie and think the takeaway is "things that i don't understand are bad and i'm right to think so"
but i guess that's part of the irony.
What ?
@@gabriellagrey4163i too am confused about this comment
????
@@Stella-gm7bomany people don’t like the movie because they think its boring. Thats what OP is referring to
@@bradmikkelsen8960I think OP is saying that normies(?) believe one of the takeaways of this movie is that artistic and weird takes on dishes are bad or something.
Absolutely love “Tyler’s Bullshit”
Had me cracking up in the theater after an incredibly tense scene
wow this voldemort guy is so good at cooking
that was very well edited
3:14 lol that part made me laugh when I saw the movie
I’d be honest besides the cheese burger I want to try the bone marrow and torria chicken mainly cause I like meat
I wonder if they're going to turn Slowik into some unkillable monster like Jason, Freddy, Chucky, Michael, and you get the idea with a culinary theme and milk him for money with sequel after sequel after sequel.
Great mukbang guys 💯
