    At first, when she's tearing apart his craft, telling him how obsessive he is and how he has failed, he looks so broken and upset. He spends the whole movie knowing she's different and maybe even feeling a kinship with her. He's so distraught until she says cheeseburger. At that point a switch goes off. He knows exactly what she's doing for him and plays into it, allowing himself one last moment of pure joy in his work before death and at the sane time admiring Margot for appreciating what cooking and food really means.

      I think he was simply hoping one of the customers would remind him of his passion. Otherwise he wouldn’t have left the boat there. He knew what she was doing but it allowed him to regain a passion long lost. So he let her, and only her, leave as a proper guest.

    Maybe im overanalyzing but i love the symbolism in the cheeseburger. The fact its the brightest and tastiest looking dish in the whole movie, while being classified as a "peasant dish" in the culinary world, when compared to the outlandish fancy dishes. How Chef Slowik cooks this dish himself without any help and genuinely smiles for the first time in the movie. The description of the dish being "just an ordinary cheeseburger" without any complicated ingredient listing like the other dishes. And the lighting on it and music showing this ordinary cheeseburger was made with actual love and care, while all the fancy dishes were mute in color and looked rather sad for fine dining. Its just amazing how it looks so delicious and blows all the fancier dishes out of the water. Really shows that if theres no soul in your craft, it will feel and look soulless as well

    A lot of people think it’s the fact she said can I get this to go or the fact he enjoyed cooking for the first time in years being the reason he spared her life. But in my opinion it’s the second she said the words: “a cheeseburger”. You see Ralph’s face almost in shock and joy, because the dish is so simple yet it’s a joy. He realised she wasn’t the same as the pompous others who gathered there and she knew what good food actually meant with love and care put into it, hence why he enjoyed making the dish because it felt like he was finally cooking for someone who understood the point.

I challenge any chef out there who disagrees with me to make a grilled cheese sandwich with just plain old white bread with a nice smear of butter on both sides and a few slices of colby jack or sharp cheddar in between. Cook one side on medium heat until golden brown, turn the temp down low and flip er’ over and finish golden brown on the other side. It doesn’t have to be complicated or sound interesting to be amazing.

      That is what she realized. She first criticized the food he had been cooking/serving most of his adult life, how hard he worked, with only 1 day off a week, and it brought him no joy. And people didn't appreciate it. She made him realize that it left her - and others - wanting, still hungry. All that work for nothing. Then she says cheeseburger, and he IS brought back to when he was a new cook, making cheeseburgers, when his life was young and had all sorts of possibilities. People love cheeseburgers, they bought/ate them even if they could hardly afford to do so.
      She told him she didn't think he could cook it, and at this point he now wanted to cook it. He had to cook it. Finally, after decades, cooking would be fun for him again. You can also see his face while cooking the cheeseburger, after he puts the cheese on, he is experiencing joy again. In the end, he knows what she did, that she had reminded him that there was once joy and happiness in his life, and she got him to feel it one last time before the end. He paid her back by allowing her to live.
      The acting here is so subtle and amazing. A truly great scene.

It’s not about “art”. It’s about eating. If you can make it fun and filling, good! But still, don’t waste a single bite of food for the sake of so-called “art”. Sometimes all you need is… a cheeseburger. And maybe some fries.

      Hits dofferent when you remember the feeling of your first earned "compliments to the chef." I damn near cried it was such an uplifting feeling.

    Chef served the cheeseburger on a cheap paper plate to drive it home until she asked for a doggy bag. Checkmate.
