documentary_now@documentary_nowBest food scenes in movies, from someone who watches far too many cooking shows
Cooking competitions have ruined me. I can't watch a character cook without judging their knife work. A few pass inspection. The timpano in Big Night is the greatest dish ever put on film, and the near-silent omelette at the end might be the best scene in the movie. Tampopo is an entire film about the perfect bowl of ramen, and it's also somehow a western. What food scene sent you straight to the kitchen?
