Every dish from The Menu (2022) 

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).

This is so interesting. Never knew how much detail this movie had

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.

Needed the Chef's critique of S'mores...

all smores should have these ingredients from now on

Yes we can read as well, thanks 🙏

I also love how they film the whole movie with cameras so we as the audience can see it!

That's michelin star smore, and those are the special ingredients

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.

I believe he grows hes own lamb​@@DaRkLoRdZoRc

You've never had lamb carpaccio?

@@starkravinglad8099 Can't say I have. Only thing I do with lamb is either stew or sausage

@lumethecrow Fair enough, if you get the chance, you should try it.

Well that lady said he's insane, so obviously he'd demote them to common man.

It could be a technicality because tortillas are made from corn, and bread is made from wheat.

@@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

Tortillas don’t have leaven or yeast when bread usually does.

IT'S NOT BREAD! "They're tortillas: tortillas deliciosas!" Sorry, just had to....

The mess looks delightful too

​@@dingdongs5208was gonna say that too

its the only one that looks like real food, all there others are artistic pices

I also watched the movie

Congrats you found the plot of the movie 👏

Holy crap never comment like this again

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

​@@doandadrestarahma5290 Amen 🙏

What's ironic is... originally, John Leguizamo's character was supposed to be... Daniel Radcliffe.

they most definitely ate death

"I like the creative decision they made, it was a good creative decision" Thanks for the insight.

It was a comment, yes? ​@@pderham26

​@@pderham26bro saw someone talking about something they enjoy and thought "Someone's gotta put a stop to that"

@@Astrocat-od5cy Welcome to reality, where positive and negative takes exist.

@@pderham26 "welcome to reality" is an excuse I would've used when I was like 12 years old. I think you should stick to not having opinions because yours are trash

my favorite joke in the movie

i lost it when i saw that 😭

😂

“Utter lack of cohesion”

"It seemed funny about three hours ago."

@@nicholasbuffone175 The joke was that it was not his birthday

And the bowl of split emulsion

Or how quick all the men were to abandon the women they came with.

Then there's Tyler who was just outside the restaurant while the women were eating

@@kentinson1670 Him trying to stick around reminds me of when they'd make boys and girls split up for gym class. I'd jsut stand with the girls like

the chicken too, only without scissors

starring Nux and Furiosa

the boy who lived, come to dine

Also princess peach​@@koschua7070

chefs have to cook really fast so they probably found him and started making it

I mean, technically it says that Tyler is a total poser

@@Reginald_Ritmo Pretty much on point there, yeah. It caused me to think about what dish I would make and I think I would make some simple Carbonara. Just some parmeggiano and grana padano (not a fan of pecorino), eggs, noodles, butter and bacon (not a fan of guanciale or pancetta either, too pretentious for me, simple bacon bits do the job just fine).

Utter lack of cohesion...

​@ExceedProduction how is an ingredient pretentious lmao. It just taste better to most people with it. Bacon still tastes great in it but it's not the same taste

@@xirxn9592 I guess he meant pretentious more as in how a lot of people would go elitist about guanciale (and maybe pancetta, depending of how available those 2 are at your place) being the absolute must for the best and authentic carbonara, scorning anyone who uses anything else like bacon

Yeah no shit. Pond scum? Foam that looks like spit? A single scallop? No thank you.

@@blackwomanorangecatit was actually because the food was really cold

@@tgame43very common in tv and cinema. thats the reason why Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) is forever stabbing his food with the fork to pick up more rather than eating it.

​@@tgame43so if it weren't for that, the food could've tasted fine?

how about the burger tho?

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.

@@roymarshall_totally agreed

No. That's not the point at all lmao.

The movie has nothing to do with it

"But I did eat breakfast this morning" comment

Ahhhhh no wonder it looks the same style I assume it was inspired by it not done by the same person

dude i was dying when that popped up. this show was brilliant

WITNESS ME make the most atrocious attempt to cook lamb

😂😂 yes!

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.

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?

*Bresse chicken. They’re a heritage breed raised in a specific region of France.

The scene that included a guy committing you know what (I don’t want to say th s word cuz of RU-vid policy)

I want the s'more mmm people

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.
