Yes, and Tyler is also the kind of "fan", that knows everything about the art theoretically. Has all the tools and toys and whatever, but probably has not used any single one of them ever in his life. It's like the people who have all the most expensive professional tools in their shed, know all about different techniques, but could not hammer a nail into a wall if their life depended on it. Literally. Or "artists" who have a huge collection of brushes and paint and all the best canvases, who can talk without end about color theory and whatnot, but have never actually done a single stroke.
It’s kinda sad that any horror movie involving some sort of eating either in a trailer or as a premise for a movie automatically brings “cannibalism” into the conversation. Goes to show how originality has died although The Menu shows promise which is why I’m so glad they didn’t go that route or it would’ve been a cliche now it’s unique that way
@@ilovedragonball6866 I hate cannibalism. I had to google to find out it wasn't that before I could watch it (luckily, I could find the answer without other spoilers).
The way his face subtly lights up at "a cheeseburger." Chef found his passion again; and so, she lives. I love this movie, so hard. A brilliantly dark statement on the pretense of fine dining, both of the restaurant and its patrons.
Not really about fine dining. It’s message is clear. Fienne’s character was simple, wanted the fame, yet saw how unfulfilled he was. You have Tyler, a wannabe (American), stupid, thinks he knows best, yet can’t do anything. He reflects the morons that post on instant gram, and the Chef saw he knew nothing. Then you have the older couple. They ate there numerous times, yet couldn’t even remember the ingredients. Chef saw they dined there for the experience, so yes, that one was fine dining. The actors. They were just playing a role for his upcoming show. Then the Wall Street people. They were the stereotypical rich, and owned Chef’s restaurant, so they expected to be treated as gods. The reviewer was just a look back at how she destroyed small business in terms of finer dining, so again, there it is. The Chef was just a simple cook who lost his joy cooking for people who don’t care about their food. Pretty bland movie. ATJ and Fiennes saved it from being complete garbage
dining,.... or, you know, anything else. cinema, music, poetry, ballet... you name it. anything that has a large following of snobs calling it "enlightening" and "progressive".
Actually this movie devate the art it self in the current day. Thats why we have the all parts there: the chef (movie director, a famous painter, the reviewers, the audience, the fanboy who thinks knows more than the artist, like Tyler, and go on
Actually, I think she dies at the end. If you listened to Elsa explain what happens to the beef at the slaughter house, she said that the beef will kill you if you don't eat it before it's expiration date and that it's basically now. Margot takes her second bite after the restaurant blows up. As she wipes her mouth with the menu, she looks at it after and most likely noticed that there is no beef on the menu. You can see the realization in her eyes that she's going to die as the music starts to swell, she takes another "screw it" bite and then the movie cuts off. That's also why Chef "let her go" letting her think that she"won". He said that "everyone", including her, is dying in the end. It was her choice to die with the "givers" or the "takers". She was just the last 😂😂😂
'Tylers Bullshit' gets me every single time, it's one of the funniest moments I've seen in a movie in so long. Absolutely loved every minute of this, from start to end. Nicholas Hoult, Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy all give top performances.
Before she found the radio, she saw all of his pictures. Pictures of him at his restaurant, with his family, with Doug Verrick, etc. He was frowning in all of them except for the one where he was a simple grill cook making a cheeseburger. He told her in an earlier scene that he hadn't enjoyed cooking for anybody in a long time. Great foreshadowing.
The photo of him at the burger place is he is smiling, the only picture out of all the ones, the one where he was a humble fry cook he was the happiest. That’s why he let Margot go, he finally felt happy that someone actually appreciated the food..thats all that he wanted was someone to love his food and to just, eat.
Fun fact that cheeseburger chef made at the end was the world's best cheeseburger. They had the guy who was voted best cheeseburger in the world teach chef how to cook it in real life. So in the movie he actually made the best burger in the world.
I also went into this movie expecting the secret ingredient to be people. It just felt obvious that everyone would be killed and served up. Or people would be getting picked off one after the other until only one was left. I'm glad it didn't go that route. This movie was a lot more subtle than I expected, but I think it helped make it stand out. This is most definitely a weird movie, but something about the tone of it is just so interesting. I've seen it a few times and I still think it's sort of like the cheeseburger at the end of the movie. It isn't over the top in terms of plot/action, but at the end of the day it's just a well-made movie that leaves you satisfied.

Tyler was basically a food instagramer who goes places and takes pictures of food and thinks just because he knows about the food that he could cook it if he wanted to. He was proven wrong and then took himself out
Yep, the first and most important thing to learn about appreciating good food is the effort and skill that goes into making it, and you don't have it. It's knowing how much you don't know.
Caramelized onions is the best topping for a cheeseburger. And I'm not talking about those quick impostor caramelized onions. I'm talkin about slowly cooking for 6 to 8 hours caramelized onions 🧅🍔
I once asked for more sauce for a pasta dish at Maggianos, the chef send me a bowl like that filled to the brim like precariously filled with sauce. I looked at it and looked at the waitress. She was saying sorry with her eyes. “I have upset the chef it seems” she just smiled. True fkn story. Somewhere that chef tells the story from his perspective. Jackass. Lol
Absolutely love this movie. One of the rare ones these days, where I had no idea what was happening while loving everything that was. :D Don't want to say more, lest I drain the mystery out of movie-making.
A new bar and grill opened in my small town about 4 or 5 years ago. For a limited time as part of their opening they offered a burger with a homemade aioli. That might have been the best burger I've ever had, and made me a customer for life, I had to go home that day and look up what aioli is (it's a garlic mayonnaise). My go-to order now is their spicy burger, which has a spicy sauce, pickles and jalapenos. As others have pointed out, the pictures in Chef's house are a good clue, the one time he's actually smiling. "I'm good at making kickass burgers, I like making kickass burgers, and I enjoy serving said burgers to people who enjoy kickass burgers, and are grateful." No elitism, no song and dance, no pretentiousness.
Aioli is basically just homemade mayonnaise. It can have garlic or pesto or sun-dried tomatoes or any number of other things in it. And yeah I know this comment is a year old.
The line, "youll eat less than you desire, but more than you deserve" was haunting. But the line, "special treat to the last guest to be caught" had me in tears. Whoever wrote this movie is a legend.
The Cheeseburger was the only REAL food in the movie, the rest were all "art" substitutions for real food. The director had cheeseburgers brought in for the entire cast... ---- Would love to see you do reactions to "The Bear"
From the original script: Lillian wasn't completely exaggerating when she said she put Chef on the map: He had another high end restaurant before Hawthorne, called Tantalus. Got 2 Michelin stars 2 years in, then closed up shop. Isn't heard from again until 3 years later, running a taco truck in Portland. He agreed to the interview only if he could keep his privacy, his own land, and it had to be by the water so he could source his own fish. It's established the movie star has a peanut allergy during the tour, and this turns out to be setup for the menu's eighth course, where Felicity is ordered to force feed him a dish completely comprised of peanuts so as to kill him through anaphylactic shock. Anne (wife of man who paid Margot to look like his daughter while j*cking him off) actually couldn't eat The Island as is due to a shellfish allergy. Hers was salmon. The broken emulsion gag escalates to where the servers literally waterboard Lillian with it. The restaurant has hidden cameras in the dining room, so even if Elsa missed something, it still got caught. The taco truck Chef was running was, according to him, the happiest he'd ever been, but Margot calls him out on it later, asking why he parked his truck at a Food Expo where he KNEW food critics were going to be, if he wanted to be left alone. Man's Folly was supposed to have more details about a woman chef's actual experience in the kitchen, from harassment to stereotypes. The women DO get bread with Man's Folly, and it IS as delicious as promised. You can even see Tyler chewing on bread when Chef comes up to confront him afterwards. Not only did Tyler bring Margot knowing she would die, he sincerely thought Chef was going to spare him. And even when called out on it, he STILL didn't apologize or take it back, because all he cared about was experiencing the menu. Them all coming to the kitchen to watch Tyler screw himself over wasn't originally in the script. They were just supposed to watch from the dining room. Margot makes another bid for her life before being ordered to go get the barrel. Which Chef appreciates enough to tell her so. Margot smiles upon seeing Tyler's hanging. Lillian realizes she's never going to get to write about this last experience, and THAT ends up being her real just desserts. Instead of dropping the ashes to set it all on fire, Chef originally drops a match. The last scene is of firefighters combing through the burnt wreckage, and the very last thing we see is the one photo of Chef as a young man, flipping a burger, but happy.
The restraint shown in the screenplay kept it in the satire genre, and saved it from sliding into parody. Black comedy at its finest! And now I want a medium rare cheese burger with bacon, served on a toasted English muffin (with the burger juices gently sopped into the muffin). A few slices of avocado would not be amiss! 🍔
I would have to agree with Mrs. Movies that the film was weird but that's part of the fun because it gives it a uniqueness that isn't necessarily shared with other films within the same genre. If Mrs. Movies wants to see a film that's weird she should try looking at a old Clive Barker film by the title "Nightbreed".
The only customer I felt bad for was the actor. While the chef had animosity because of his bad movie, the Actor himself felt it was a bad movie but truly enjoyed making it. In a way, he and the chef had something in common. While cheeseburgers are considered a tasty but common cheap meal, the chef still loved making them.
May I make an observation? Mr. is so obviously (in a good way) so damn in love with Mrs. Every video I see of y’all, Mr. is so excited to share his ❤ of media with Mrs. This is not to diss Mrs. I’m sure she loves Mr. as well.
A couple notes. Leguizano based his character on Steven Seagal. Also, i think the Chef included the Actor because he had abandoned his art to do the film just for the money. It was Anya's idea that her back be to the kitchen forcing her to turn around. She said it was worth the neck pain. All the cast were on set every day so they would mime and ad lib in the background for other people's scenes. In the end, Erin provided an experience of a good customer for the Chef. There is also a theory that Erin might not have gotten away as the beef in the burgers coukd be a day old as Elsa described at the beginning. Overall, this movie really spoke to me. I saw the over-obsessed fans of any prooerty in the dining guests. The canon-hawks, the gate-keepers, the continuity-slueths, etc. All the people who have started sucking the fun out of movies and TV these days.
Adored this movie on many levels. Favorite cheeseburger topping: After years of going through a bunch of toppings, I rediscovered relish after nearly two decades without. Never appreciated it before, think it's amazing now.
100% my favorite movie of last year and ranks up there with my all time favorites. My favorite burger to make is a teriyaki marinated burger topped with provolone and grilled pineapple rings.
Tyler was a representation of people who think they can cook because they watch cooking shows. Shows that kind of take the mystery and magic of the art of cooking away from really great chefs. I think all of the people there know they deserve what they are getting and are just willing to be a part of the chef's art in the end.
Did you recognized the old woman cheated by his husband ?... She's Judith Light, the mother in "Who is the boss ?" serie with Alyssa Milano & Tony Danza...

Supposedly this is the recipe for the Double Cheeseburger from the movie 2 lbs. 80/20 ground beef 2 tsp. kosher salt, divided 1 tsp. black pepper, divided 1 small (4 oz.) yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup) 8 American cheese slices 4 sesame seed hamburger buns, toasted Dill pickle chips and ketchup 1. Divide and roll ground beef evenly into 8 (4-ounce) meatballs. Do not overwork. 2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium high. Place meatballs, 2 at a time, in hot skillet. Place 1 square of parchment paper over each meatball. Using a large spatula, flatten each ball into a 5-inch round patty. Remove and discard parchment. 3. Sprinkle top of each patty with ⅛ teaspoon of the salt and a pinch of the pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the sliced onions on each patty. Cook until bottoms are crisp and deep brown, 1½ to 2 minutes. Flip patties; sprinkle each with ⅛ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper, and top with 1 slice of cheese. Cook until bottoms are deep brown and cheese is melted, 1½ to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs, salt, pepper, onions and cheese. 4. Put pickle chips on bottom of each bun, top with 2 patties, and cover burgers with top bun halves. Serve with ketchup and/or your desired toppings and sauces. Serves: 4 Active time: 20 minutes Total time: 20 minutes
My favourite recent movie. Great little ensemble. Annoyingly, not yet available on disc in the UK..and yes, the trailer does slightly misrepresent what the film is. Which is no bad thing given most trailers show the entire plot
This movie was nothing what I expected and I think that is why there are a lot of haters on it. It was advertised as more of a campy almost slasher type movie (I was really surprised it didn't go cannibal) when it is more of a concept piece about food as art, obsession, and toxic people that ruin good things. In my opinion, it is a fantastically weird and great movie.
When I saw the poster I thought it was going to be a comedy drama film about a food critic and his girlfriend try to oust a world class Chef for being a fraud. Then I learned that its a dark comedy horror film. I was shocked to learn to it got snubbed at the Oscars this year. It should have been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Etc.
I love my burgers seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of curry powder. Fave toppings: American cheese, carmelized or crispy onions, pickles, and mushrooms. A little bit of sweet bbq sauce.
Cool fact about this movie. The actual menu is absolute elite level Dead serious cookery. Every dish is a proper dish that was designed by Michelin star chef Dominique crenn who also trained the chefs in the movie to act like proper high level chefs
I’m lactose intolerant! So I’m deeply offended by the question!😂. When I get good goats cheese or Sheep’s Cheese which I can eat I like Bacon and Mushrooms!
I remember dying of starvation, while seeing this film and that's why I did want to get enough food before I came into the cinema's room. Furthermore, this movie is literally "The hunger games of the kitchen".
The term 'amuse bouche' is French for mouth amuser. These are complementary little bites that chefs send to diners at the start of their dining experience and can range from just one dish to as many as six or seven. They are different to Canapés and other hors d'oeuvres in that they are not ordered from a menu but are served free and according to the chef's selection alone.
I've only seen the movie once, but I've watched a few reactions and this is the first time I noticed that Richard switches seats when he sees Margot enter so that he's not sitting facing her direction...SUPER guilty conscience right there I had NO idea what to expect going in to this movie, I just knew that Ralph Fiennes was in it and it was billed as "horror comedy", and it ended up being one of my favourite dark comedies in a long time
Oysters and lemon mignonette - Common flavors put together that have to be broken down and deconstructed, foreshadowing what happens to the guests. This is meant to be taken as Chef throwing down the gauntlet. Amuse Bouche - More foreshadowing. Charred lace - crater. Milk snow - ash from the fire. Cucumber and melon - the guests. The Island - Scallop on a rock - Chef presenting himself to the guests. Plants - "in the weeds" Breadless bread plate - straight up snarking at picky customers. But you can also make a case for Lilian's plate having a broken emulsion on purpose as his way of saying SHE'S as useless as a broken emulsion. Memory - Self explanatory The Mess - Pressurized vegetables - literal pun. Bone marrow - blood. Beef jus - sweat. Potato confit - tears. Man's Folly - Plum vinegar exists because of Umeboshi, whey plays a vital part in making yogurt, sea kelp and lettuce are what keeps the oceans biome from wreaking havoc. But everyone either doesn't know that or forgets, because they don't taste good, aren't as attractive, or can be very difficult to work with in their natural form. It's the same with women, especially when they try to speak out against unfair treatment like what the chef describes. They get called things like "bottom feeders", like crabs. Final scene with Margot/Erin eating the cheeseburger - She didn't care about giving him peace of mind. She just wanted to survive. And Chef acknowledged that. Using his menu as a napkin - She never believed anything he said for one second. She is, in fact, a taker that knows her worth. And that's why she lived.
I love how you guys just keep going back to everyone’s gonna get eaten. I honestly did the same thing when I watched the movie. Lol 😂 we all have Hannibal on the mind. Ralph Fiennes was in red dragon .
It’s interesting to think Tyler either went knowing he would die with the other guests or if maybe he thought he’d be spared. Either way shows how self absorbed and obsessed he is.
Best cheeseburger recipe I've tried was from Gordon Ramsey on one of his shows, and the key is mixing finely diced onions and mustard into the meat before cooking properly.
A little bit of trivia: I saw a clip on UA-cam where an invitee to the premiere of this movie said the large bowl of emulsion given to the pretentious food critic was used to waterboard her, but the scene was cut because the producer decided it was too aggressive.
"Cod" "It was halibut you donkey" "What does it matter?" "It matters if you're a halibut" Did I imagine hearing that last line or was it in the full movie?
One of my favorite details is the part where Jeremy kills himself and Chef tells “eat” instead of “taste”. Because Jeremy isn’t a chef, he’s a cook. You don’t “taste” that food, you eat it.
Tyler, “He hates me.” Everyone hates Tyler. This is the third reaction to this movie I’ve watched and all reactors want Tyler to die first. Tyler chops onions worst than I do.
Tyler was there because he was the obsessed type that sought to explain away every minute detail of the chef’s craft leaving no mystery or wonder. . Taking away the sheer innocent enjoyment of it. Chef said it himself. “You are the reason the mystery has been drained from our art.”

She was saying sorry with her eyes. “I have upset the chef it seems” she just smiled. True fkn story. Somewhere that chef tells the story from his perspective. Jackass. Lol
Absolutely love this movie. One of the rare ones these days, where I had no idea what was happening while loving everything that was. :D Don't want to say more, lest I drain the mystery out of movie-making.
Agreed
Bouche is french for Mouth. Amuse Bouche means little bite, pr little appetizer.
A new bar and grill opened in my small town about 4 or 5 years ago. For a limited time as part of their opening they offered a burger with a homemade aioli. That might have been the best burger I've ever had, and made me a customer for life, I had to go home that day and look up what aioli is (it's a garlic mayonnaise). My go-to order now is their spicy burger, which has a spicy sauce, pickles and jalapenos.
As others have pointed out, the pictures in Chef's house are a good clue, the one time he's actually smiling. "I'm good at making kickass burgers, I like making kickass burgers, and I enjoy serving said burgers to people who enjoy kickass burgers, and are grateful." No elitism, no song and dance, no pretentiousness.
Aioli is basically just homemade mayonnaise. It can have garlic or pesto or sun-dried tomatoes or any number of other things in it.
And yeah I know this comment is a year old.
The line, "youll eat less than you desire, but more than you deserve" was haunting.
But the line, "special treat to the last guest to be caught" had me in tears.
Whoever wrote this movie is a legend.
“However much I watch Bob Ross, I will never be a painter.”
Great observation.
The Cheeseburger was the only REAL food in the movie, the rest were all "art" substitutions for real food. The director had cheeseburgers brought in for the entire cast... ---- Would love to see you do reactions to "The Bear"
From the original script:
Lillian wasn't completely exaggerating when she said she put Chef on the map: He had another high end restaurant before Hawthorne, called Tantalus. Got 2 Michelin stars 2 years in, then closed up shop. Isn't heard from again until 3 years later, running a taco truck in Portland. He agreed to the interview only if he could keep his privacy, his own land, and it had to be by the water so he could source his own fish.
It's established the movie star has a peanut allergy during the tour, and this turns out to be setup for the menu's eighth course, where Felicity is ordered to force feed him a dish completely comprised of peanuts so as to kill him through anaphylactic shock.
Anne (wife of man who paid Margot to look like his daughter while j*cking him off) actually couldn't eat The Island as is due to a shellfish allergy. Hers was salmon.
The broken emulsion gag escalates to where the servers literally waterboard Lillian with it.
The restaurant has hidden cameras in the dining room, so even if Elsa missed something, it still got caught.
The taco truck Chef was running was, according to him, the happiest he'd ever been, but Margot calls him out on it later, asking why he parked his truck at a Food Expo where he KNEW food critics were going to be, if he wanted to be left alone.
Man's Folly was supposed to have more details about a woman chef's actual experience in the kitchen, from harassment to stereotypes.
The women DO get bread with Man's Folly, and it IS as delicious as promised. You can even see Tyler chewing on bread when Chef comes up to confront him afterwards.
Not only did Tyler bring Margot knowing she would die, he sincerely thought Chef was going to spare him. And even when called out on it, he STILL didn't apologize or take it back, because all he cared about was experiencing the menu.
Them all coming to the kitchen to watch Tyler screw himself over wasn't originally in the script. They were just supposed to watch from the dining room.
Margot makes another bid for her life before being ordered to go get the barrel. Which Chef appreciates enough to tell her so.
Margot smiles upon seeing Tyler's hanging.
Lillian realizes she's never going to get to write about this last experience, and THAT ends up being her real just desserts.
Instead of dropping the ashes to set it all on fire, Chef originally drops a match.
The last scene is of firefighters combing through the burnt wreckage, and the very last thing we see is the one photo of Chef as a young man, flipping a burger, but happy.
That bowl of broken emulsion was 24 ounces of "bitch slap".
The restraint shown in the screenplay kept it in the satire genre, and saved it from sliding into parody. Black comedy at its finest!
And now I want a medium rare cheese burger with bacon, served on a toasted English muffin (with the burger juices gently sopped into the muffin). A few slices of avocado would not be amiss! 🍔
I would have to agree with Mrs. Movies that the film was weird but that's part of the fun because it gives it a uniqueness that isn't necessarily shared with other films within the same genre. If Mrs. Movies wants to see a film that's weird she should try looking at a old Clive Barker film by the title "Nightbreed".
The only customer I felt bad for was the actor. While the chef had animosity because of his bad movie, the Actor himself felt it was a bad movie but truly enjoyed making it. In a way, he and the chef had something in common. While cheeseburgers are considered a tasty but common cheap meal, the chef still loved making them.
8:20 It took me nearly the entire movie to realize that.
When the Head Chef is both Voldemort AND the Red Dragon... it's time to catch the first boat off the island
May I make an observation?
Mr. is so obviously (in a good way) so damn in love with Mrs.
Every video I see of y’all, Mr. is so excited to share his ❤ of media with Mrs.
This is not to diss Mrs. I’m sure she loves Mr. as well.
I also went into this movie thinking it was going to be a cannibal movie, but I really loved what it ended up being anyway.
Congrats y'all! Y'all are about to hit 100k! Now everyone knows what we have known, y'all are awesome!
Hannibal has absolutely worked his way into your guys subconscious 😂😂
A couple notes. Leguizano based his character on Steven Seagal. Also, i think the Chef included the Actor because he had abandoned his art to do the film just for the money.
It was Anya's idea that her back be to the kitchen forcing her to turn around. She said it was worth the neck pain.
All the cast were on set every day so they would mime and ad lib in the background for other people's scenes.
In the end, Erin provided an experience of a good customer for the Chef.
There is also a theory that Erin might not have gotten away as the beef in the burgers coukd be a day old as Elsa described at the beginning.
Overall, this movie really spoke to me. I saw the over-obsessed fans of any prooerty in the dining guests. The canon-hawks, the gate-keepers, the continuity-slueths, etc. All the people who have started sucking the fun out of movies and TV these days.
"the beef in the burgers coukd be a day old"
That theory doesn't make sense, you make a burger with raw beef not smoked meat.
Also the director confirmed she got away
Adored this movie on many levels. Favorite cheeseburger topping: After years of going through a bunch of toppings, I rediscovered relish after nearly two decades without. Never appreciated it before, think it's amazing now.
Dear Mrs Movies:
If a man is stabbed in his "boy bits" with scissors, he would no longer maintain a standing posture.
100% my favorite movie of last year and ranks up there with my all time favorites.
My favorite burger to make is a teriyaki marinated burger topped with provolone and grilled pineapple rings.
I think you guys missed the part where the chef started as a burger cook
Favorite cheeseburger topping: pickle relish
Favorite menu item: chicken tacos. I love a good soft shell taco.
Tyler was a representation of people who think they can cook because they watch cooking shows. Shows that kind of take the mystery and magic of the art of cooking away from really great chefs. I think all of the people there know they deserve what they are getting and are just willing to be a part of the chef's art in the end.
I like the theory that Margot's burger was made with old beef, and she dies of bacterial food poisoning.
I'm a fan of Good Eats with Alton Brown, and every time I saw Elsa in this movie, all I could think of was W.
This movie is so unique. I love it
Did you recognized the old woman cheated by his husband ?... She's Judith Light, the mother in "Who is the boss ?" serie with Alyssa Milano & Tony Danza...
This made my Top 10 Movies of 2022. But, I'm also a cook in real life so I can relate. lol
Everytime I see that cheeseburger, I'm like damn! Now I want a cheeseburger, that looks like the most delicious cheeseburger ever.
This movie was not what I expected. Favorite cheeseburger topping: a fried egg.
Just want to say you guys are the best at watvh a longs. Not too much talking, excellent editing. The best. I also laugh at every go back to bed with the kids. Who can’t relate.
My favourite cheeseburger has Gruyère, mushrooms, caramelized onions, tomato jam, and arugula 🤤
I'll never hear Tortilla again without thinking of this movie 😉
Supposedly this is the recipe for the Double Cheeseburger from the movie
2 lbs. 80/20 ground beef
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 tsp. black pepper, divided
1 small (4 oz.) yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
8 American cheese slices
4 sesame seed hamburger buns, toasted
Dill pickle chips and ketchup
1. Divide and roll ground beef evenly into 8 (4-ounce) meatballs. Do not overwork.
2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium high. Place meatballs, 2 at a time, in hot skillet. Place 1 square of parchment paper over each meatball. Using a large spatula, flatten each ball into a 5-inch round patty. Remove and discard parchment.
3. Sprinkle top of each patty with ⅛ teaspoon of the salt and a pinch of the pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the sliced onions on each patty. Cook until bottoms are crisp and deep brown, 1½ to 2 minutes. Flip patties; sprinkle each with ⅛ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper, and top with 1 slice of cheese. Cook until bottoms are deep brown and cheese is melted, 1½ to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs, salt, pepper, onions and cheese.
4. Put pickle chips on bottom of each bun, top with 2 patties, and cover burgers with top bun halves. Serve with ketchup and/or your desired toppings and sauces.
Serves: 4
Active time: 20 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
I always appreciate it so much that you guys buy the physical media 👍
Fav topping: yolk
My favourite recent movie. Great little ensemble. Annoyingly, not yet available on disc in the UK..and yes, the trailer does slightly misrepresent what the film is. Which is no bad thing given most trailers show the entire plot
This movie was nothing what I expected and I think that is why there are a lot of haters on it. It was advertised as more of a campy almost slasher type movie (I was really surprised it didn't go cannibal) when it is more of a concept piece about food as art, obsession, and toxic people that ruin good things. In my opinion, it is a fantastically weird and great movie.
When I saw the poster I thought it was going to be a comedy drama film about a food critic and his girlfriend try to oust a world class Chef for being a fraud. Then I learned that its a dark comedy horror film. I was shocked to learn to it got snubbed at the Oscars this year. It should have been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Etc.
I was expecting cannibalism as well and was pleasantly surprised when I saw it at the movies
This film was such a breath of fresh air.
I love my burgers seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of curry powder. Fave toppings: American cheese, carmelized or crispy onions, pickles, and mushrooms. A little bit of sweet bbq sauce.
Cool fact about this movie. The actual menu is absolute elite level Dead serious cookery. Every dish is a proper dish that was designed by Michelin star chef Dominique crenn who also trained the chefs in the movie to act like proper high level chefs
I’m lactose intolerant! So I’m deeply offended by the question!😂. When I get good goats cheese or Sheep’s Cheese which I can eat I like Bacon and Mushrooms!
Yeah, it was. I expected it to be weird. Lol
Favorite cheeseburger topping: grilled shrimp in melted cheese. 🤤
A tale of excess brought to heel, from a server's perspective.
And that cheeseburger did look really good.
I also was fully expecting a Cannibal movie 😂 but ended up really enjoying it
Favourite topping 🤔 pickles or a good soft egg
I remember dying of starvation, while seeing this film and that's why I did want to get enough food before I came into the cinema's room. Furthermore, this movie is literally "The hunger games of the kitchen".
Saw this movie when it first came out. One of the strangest movies I've seen recently
The term 'amuse bouche' is French for mouth amuser. These are complementary little bites that chefs send to diners at the start of their dining experience and can range from just one dish to as many as six or seven. They are different to Canapés and other hors d'oeuvres in that they are not ordered from a menu but are served free and according to the chef's selection alone.
Monica used the term and explained it's origin on an episode of Friends.
I've only seen the movie once, but I've watched a few reactions and this is the first time I noticed that Richard switches seats when he sees Margot enter so that he's not sitting facing her direction...SUPER guilty conscience right there
I had NO idea what to expect going in to this movie, I just knew that Ralph Fiennes was in it and it was billed as "horror comedy", and it ended up being one of my favourite dark comedies in a long time
Oysters and lemon mignonette - Common flavors put together that have to be broken down and deconstructed, foreshadowing what happens to the guests. This is meant to be taken as Chef throwing down the gauntlet.
Amuse Bouche - More foreshadowing. Charred lace - crater. Milk snow - ash from the fire. Cucumber and melon - the guests.
The Island - Scallop on a rock - Chef presenting himself to the guests. Plants - "in the weeds"
Breadless bread plate - straight up snarking at picky customers. But you can also make a case for Lilian's plate having a broken emulsion on purpose as his way of saying SHE'S as useless as a broken emulsion.
Memory - Self explanatory
The Mess - Pressurized vegetables - literal pun. Bone marrow - blood. Beef jus - sweat. Potato confit - tears.
Man's Folly - Plum vinegar exists because of Umeboshi, whey plays a vital part in making yogurt, sea kelp and lettuce are what keeps the oceans biome from wreaking havoc. But everyone either doesn't know that or forgets, because they don't taste good, aren't as attractive, or can be very difficult to work with in their natural form. It's the same with women, especially when they try to speak out against unfair treatment like what the chef describes. They get called things like "bottom feeders", like crabs.
Final scene with Margot/Erin eating the cheeseburger - She didn't care about giving him peace of mind. She just wanted to survive. And Chef acknowledged that.
Using his menu as a napkin - She never believed anything he said for one second. She is, in fact, a taker that knows her worth. And that's why she lived.
I love how you guys just keep going back to everyone’s gonna get eaten. I honestly did the same thing when I watched the movie. Lol 😂 we all have Hannibal on the mind.
Ralph Fiennes was in red dragon .
It’s interesting to think Tyler either went knowing he would die with the other guests or if maybe he thought he’d be spared. Either way shows how self absorbed and obsessed he is.
Best cheeseburger recipe I've tried was from Gordon Ramsey on one of his shows, and the key is mixing finely diced onions and mustard into the meat before cooking properly.
A little bit of trivia: I saw a clip on UA-cam where an invitee to the premiere of this movie said the large bowl of emulsion given to the pretentious food critic was used to waterboard her, but the scene was cut because the producer decided it was too aggressive.
I too thought they were going to be eaten.
I liked the film when I watched it the first time. I loved it on a rewatch.
the wife comes off like a person who has a long list of dietary restrictions.
I'm not going to say you're right, but I'll just leave 'this' here...👉🏼👃
In regards to the favorite cheeseburger topping question. Do you mean sauce or food item? If sauce: tzatziki, if food item: bacon or avocado.
"These are tortillas, tortillas deliciosa." 😋
I absolutely loved the Menu so much. It’s such a good movie
A thin slice of tomato, three slices of crispy bacon, an onion ring, green chile and, of course, a second cheeseburger... yum!
I left this movie unbelievably whelmed same as with M3agan.
it's a combination of both knives out movies. Menu girl is like the protag from Knives 1, and the setting is Knives 2
The movie star was originally going to be Daniel Radcliffe (as himself) and the movie Slovik hated was Victor Frankenstein.
The moral of the story is, never go into a restaurant where the special is smores.
Ok, question. The beef that was supposed to be aged for how many days or it would kill you?? What was her cheeseburger made out of??
My theory, the 7 deadly sins.
The 6 tables and chef.
Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, pride and wrath (Chef?)
"Cod"
"It was halibut you donkey"
"What does it matter?"
"It matters if you're a halibut"
Did I imagine hearing that last line or was it in the full movie?
Yes, pretty sure it was spoken in a "tsk.." passing manner before the actual rant.
You asked us what's your favourite dish in the movie?
My favourite dish in the movie is Anya Taylor Joy.
BASED 💯
I worked for years in the service industry. I get it. Oh, I get it..🤣
As a follow-up, I recommend the 80s movie "Eat The Ritch". A different approach on a similar topic. Very British, very dark and funny as hell.
i read that john leguizamo based his character on steven seagal because steven seagal is one of the crappiest people lol
One of my favorite details is the part where Jeremy kills himself and Chef tells “eat” instead of “taste”. Because Jeremy isn’t a chef, he’s a cook. You don’t “taste” that food, you eat it.
Tyler is all theory and no practice. Chef knew he would fumble cooking because just knowing the facts doesn't translate to being a good chef.
gotta say, i'd be looking for a wooden or plastic barrel. i'm not familiar with metal barrels
I lowkey loved Elsa tbh she cmtfu🤣💀
Tyler, “He hates me.” Everyone hates Tyler. This is the third reaction to this movie I’ve watched and all reactors want Tyler to die first. Tyler chops onions worst than I do.
I like the idea that chef served Margot the cheeseburger on the 153rd day. 😉😳
This ended up being my favorite film of 2022.
If you have a hankering for some good old cannibalism in cinema, I highly recommend watching Ravenous, a criminally underrated movie.
