The Menu (Cheeseburger Scene) 2022 

Would be funny if, at the end, as she is eating the cheeseburger, she commented on how she actually didn't lie it

like*

what's wrong with lettuce?

@@rennyforyourthoughts8023 What’s *right* with it? Lettuce is awful. It’s disgusting. Downright evil it demands a spot on the hierarchy of flavors amongst the burger and yet offers nothing commendable. The taste is gag inducing… the texture, off putting. If you prefer lettuce on your burger, you need to get checked because clearly something is wrong with the way you consume.

@@Domin1cPhoenix I'm sorry your mommy made you eat your vegetables

He even had the heart to let her go cuz he knew that her "Boyfriend" tricked her knowing that she would die. And although I thought he was gonna kill her cuz she was "ruining everything," i think he ultimately spared her cuz of that cheeseburger.

She asks for a cheeseburger because that was the breakthrough meal of his early career.

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.

I thought he said $995 lol

she ask for cheap burger

Honestly Denny’s is one of the only places I can think of with a burger of same or lower price

I had 2 during my 2nd rewatch & only ate them half & saved the rest for this very scene. It was also 3am & it was also time for a krabby patty. So as you can see, the universe was perfectly aligned with itself & it felt like such a divine experience... Also probably due to the 11 herbs & spices I smoked before. Lol

100% hungy

Did you watch it yet? If so, what did you think?

@@mournblade1066 loved it. Twisted dark humor. Shocking moments. Memorable characters. Amazing cheeseburger scene.

​@@platetechfonics7006Did you make that cheeseburger?

@@robertbernard7844 oh yes. Was sure to make it with love.

Yeah and it saved her life, so it's a lot more valuable than that too!

And from a Michelin chef at that!

At Five Guys a double cheeseburger basically costs you $18.95 plus you have to cut out a pound of your own flesh while they watch, which they grill up and serve to future customers to keep the cycle going.

Better deal than Mc Donald's in France, for sure.

It’s not as much as you think, you can get a nice big burger and a good portion of fries for less than $9

Nothing will beat being 8, coming home after school on a Friday, and smelling burgers... I hope I can provide that feeling to my kids.

If it were truly a cheap one my parents couldn't afford it would have bread mixed in the meat...

@@Ownedbycat same.. Meatloaf was made in the same fashion.. bread and egg mixed in. Egg added moisture and helped the burger or meatloaf hold together. The bread added volume, but it gave it some nice texture when you broiled it and lightly burned the bread pieces sticking out of the mixture. Good memories of a tougher time growing up...

@@averagejoe6617 that line is random but poignant because it hits home for so many folks

Agreed

Reminded him of when he worked at the fast food restaurant back in the day

@@Blackphillipsupporter I think it was more of diner but it also brought him back to a time when he was truly happy.

I never noticed it before, but he is trying to keep up his hard lined cooking with obsession, but his love of cooking starts to show again by the brief glimpses of a smile that comes through before being buried again.

I gotta ask though... What the hell were the rest of the cooks doing during all this? Seriously look at them. What the hell are they actually doing? They aren't helping make the burger and the final course was smores which were already prepared so what the hell were they actually doing beyond LOOKING like they were doing something?

so apparently in reviews, observations and maybe even the script. They're apparently looking in awe partially because the Hawthorn kitchen has become very cultlike but also this is perhaps the first time in a long while that the Head Chef is personally cooking. @@Kamina.D.Fierce

I wonder what percentage went to a fast food chain, or a local pub or diner?

@@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarineI ordered from one of my favorite local spots immediately afterwards lol

Ironically I had a burger right before seeing the movie.

I’d be very curious to know the percentage of burger volume increase during this movies run in theatres. I saw this when it hit the steams, and grilled us up some cheeseburgers for dinner that night… that’s how good this scene is I guess! 😅

@@teejaydee85 me too considering the sales of Merlot dropped 20% after the movie Sideways came out. We know cinema has a real effect on commodity sales.

Haha well said.

😂😂😂

Not true. It's how you use it. Hell I bet if all you had was canned cheese product, and you used creativity and love to transform into a delicious meal, he'd let you live, prolly give you a good review.

True! It’s not about whether american cheese is real It’s just inferior

@@GhANeC But it melts without splitting, which makes it good in a cheeseburger. Higher quality cheeses from Europe may be superior in other settings, but would make an inferior cheeseburger.

This needs more likes 😂😂😂😂

Bro XD

Holy shit. Lol

@@ShoppingBored well done.

That was a porcelain dinner plate. watch it again.

@toshikotanaka3249 you're right. It still LOOKED like a cheap paper plate. The point is that he tried to go for that overall aesthetic.

@@evillink1 He succeeded too. I've eaten some spectacular meals in my time but diner fare holds a special place in my heart. I'd happily trade anything made in Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen for a good patty melt.

That’s a good insight

Well “just sex” does make men pretty damn happy lol

Unfortunate your job makes people see you as not a person

Brother that's a double. Take my money

Because, for once....................he was doing actual food.

That's not overanalyzing, your on point.

the movie is a criticism of consumerism (and also criticizing the criticism of consumerism itself lol). julian began to hate cooking because people stole his passion from him, expecting more, reading into everything he did. but on the flip side, nobody forced him into doing that. he chose to commit to that lifestyle

Your not. That was the whole point. It brought him back to a time when he was truly happy and he was cooking something for someone they truly wanted. He even served it himself because he wanted to see her reaction and by asking for it to go it was the greatest compliment she could give him hence why he let her go.

She puts it simply. People want to sit down and enjoy the food. Not a culinary exercise. People enjoy cheeseburgers not avant bullshit. He made fancy foods but his audience deconstructed it till there was no fun or love.

kind of you stressed some things and left out somethings but yes especially when u think ur watching the cheeseburger be made by the chef out of his eyes the love and all that

that is what they are trying to say

What does "melt without splitting" mean?

@@tortenschachtel9498basically means melts without breaking apart from the heat of a grill

He's not wrong american cheese melts all gooey over the burger and grts in every nook snd cranny of the patty.

@@tortenschachtel9498Splitting means the solid and moisture parts of the cheese separate. It happens when a cheese is heated past its melting point, creating a mix of rubbery cheese chunks and cheese oil instead of nice smooth melty cheese.

as babish said during the "garbage plate" episode, "fine china only cheapens the experience."

🙋‍♂️

Medium

Yes ✋

Man i'm fucking hungry

I thought it was because she saw an old photo of him in his room that were cooking the burger smiling, it could have been his face in shock and joy that flashed back to that moment.

You’re adding another component to his comment, his comment is correct but you’re inspired her reasoning to ask for a burger

​@@RatioVII yeah that's what gave her the idea. When she saw that photo of him being a young cook who is passionate with cooking cheeseburgers

LMAO!

You might wanna tell that to Ramsay, considering he fucked up a grilled cheese sandwich twice

As a home cook, my favorite things to cook and eat are simple. My go-to dish is spaghetti with a quick sauce of olive oil, garlic, and nduja. Sprinkle liberally with parmesan and enjoy. Absolutely delicious, and the only reason it takes 10 minutes is because of the pasta. I will say I've grown to prefer using mayonnaise for grilled cheese though. Just thin layer and you're good to go.

@@user-pv1nl4qp1g I will. He’s never going to hear the end of it.

Yeah, sometimes simple food is better because it brings a sort of comfort to you when eating it. Kind of like how your granny likes to feed you every time you visit her or even other memories such as being with friends.

Simple meals feed the soul.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

He did this before he went to Albania, you can tell because he still has a nose

I heard he done it because he is on the run after become a serial killer who ate a painting on america,

German Muenster cheese also does well although you'd have to buy extra thick slices. I love that kind just for grilled cheese sandwiches.

He wants someone that enjoys cooking for what it is. Not what high end dining has twisted it to be.

She's an escort; she knows that sometimes people don't care if you're playing them, as long as you make them happy

Ella vio en la habitación del chef, una foto de él como vendedor de hamburguesas. Él se veía tan feliz en esa foto. Por eso él preparó la hamburguesa personalmente, ya que lo traslado al momento en el que era feliz.

He knows he is going to serve her something that will change her attitude.

Same burger would be 19.95 now lol

@@axe863 Only in CA. CA, where uneducated, minimum wage cheeseburger makers are in the top 25% highest paid people in the world.

That's great acting for ya!

I think the chief chef is a singular "him,": not a "them." Unless of course he specifies otherwise.

@rcnelson I was talking about chefs in general, besides "Them" is not a recent way of gendering someone, its a generic word to refer to someone. "Where did they go?" "Jim is doing well, they are just busy" I am pro pronoun but they and them are just neutral words for people

He got his passion back, if only for a moment. That's why she asked for a cheeseburger, and that's why he let her go.

The reason he let her live is because, unlike everyone else who made him despise his work, she reminded him why he loves to cook

the chicken was a lie? Boooooo!!!

I did the exact same thing, and now I eat home made cheeseburgers at least once a week!

you mean ole buttercup?

Good eye!

It's actually a porcelain "paper plate" but the intention is the same

Clearly you missed the point of the movie

You missed the point of the movie and this scene

is that you lord Voldemort? I didn’t know you cooked!?!?!

And then she was locked up for days by that crazy dude, then went home to her molesting uncle. Geez this poor girl has been through enough trauma. At least she got a really good cheeseburger

Blame the critics and overly Haute customer base that have no idea what good food is. That's what this movie is about.

@@UnknownEntity703 I totally agree. I don't listen to food critics anyway...

R rated Ratatouille

I would suspect that you get it then, even if you can not put your finger directly on why this scene MADE the film. She reconnected him to his joy. And for it, he let her leave alive. The only person to do so that night. My dad was a short order cook who was more than capable of being a sous chef elsewhere. But he wanted to cook food that the people he cared for wanted to eat. He made omlettes & hash browns that could make you cry, and a beef wellington that was top tier! To me, that is what cooking really is; taking care of one another.

Indeed

I like to watch this scene as I eat McDonalds

Also, OUCH. That chick is super duper savage 😂

Yeh it look likes the type your parents could barely afford.

I'm still mad the chef offered everything except the 1 damn ingredient that truly makes a burger: the bacon. How DARE he not even offer bacon and yet call it a true "cheeseburger"?!

At least she getting her cheese burger

She asked for a cheeseburger. She was just wondering if it came with fries, but I love the joke.

Just seen it and don’t want a cheeseburger……only because I literally ate a cheeseburger 5mins ago and I’m full 😂

@@discodave8412 Then you were prepared

I was full, then shortly after seeing this video, I had a phone in my hand the next minute with the mcdonald's app on with an order placed for a quarter pounder. D:@@harrytyrrell2124

That damned Newsom is the reason we are NEVER getting the dollar menu back...I would be surprised if he was being lobbied to keep the ice cream machines down >:(

@@RealestKinga I knew SOMEONE was behind the ice cream machine conspiracy!

@markboabaca Of course it gets removed...Newsom strikes again!!

Y'all are beyond deranged. McDonald's was price gouging before newsome gfy

@@RealestKinga you broke bums crying about workers getting a decent wage. Make your own burger.

So the burger was OK?

Nah nah nah. A true Oklahoma onion burger has onion powder and chopped onions mixed with the meat, raw onions pressed into the patty while cooking, sauteed onions across the top, a bun covered in dry onions, onions crips on top of the sauteed onions, a container of onion salt served alongside another order of crispy onion strips, half a raw onions handed to you across the counter at time of order and when you get back out to your car the tailpipe has been stuffed with an onion and a bag of them poured into the window you left down when you parked. aka....The perfect burger.

Part of me hoped that the fryer wasn't on and chef just nonchalantly say, like, 7.95

@@ryutheslayer123 Well to be honest the scene is very unrealistic. Unless Slowik and his team enjoy a burger sometimes it is highly unlikely that he has Burger buns prepared. Of course he could make them from stretch but with the resting time of the dough it would takes hours! In his restaurant people don't order ala carte but eat his specially prepared menus and unless some over the top burger is on the menu he wouldn't need buns. Some commercial buns that are full of preservatives would never be up to his standard and as seen the buns were very high quality. So I think Slowik doesn't just eat his fancy over the top food all the time but enjoys burgers regularly in the remembrance of the time he was really happy as a simple burger flipper.

Frfr. You can't even get that at fucking McDonald's anymore and that's one of the worst cheeseburgers on Earth

I know right? I just paid like 18 for my burger and fries at Shari’s and it was just ok

There shouldn't 4:05 be sesame seeds on the bottom bun and those fries 4:08 don't look seasoned at all

She saw a picture of him in his house earlier, where he was a happy young chef working in a burger restaurant, so she connected him with his love of cooking that he lost with all the high class snobs who never appreciated his food.

She ended up eating it at the end whilst watching (SPOILERS) the restaurant and people burn down. Then wipes it down with THE MENU, whoooaaaaa :)

But it isn't, it's a porcelain plate made to look like a cheap paper one.

@@RebelSoul2010 Yeah, it's a very cool design. Nothing I'd like to have at my home, but it's still neat.

To be honest I watched the movie and I don't understand it either. I get being mad at the customers and losing his passion for cooking but I don't understand how we go from "I don't like to cook anymore" to "let me kill myself, my entire staff, and even my own mother, that'll solve everything" just retire. Or if he still wants to cook, just go back to making simple foods like cheeseburgers. There are so many options he could've taken all of which make more sense than committing mass homocide.

@@starchild3215 Well, in all seriousness, I don't look down on people who didn't get it because I assume the reason has to do with inner differences that aren't often communicated. For some artists, their art is their answer to the meaning of life. It's the challenge they've imposed on themselves to pursue truth, beauty and purpose, and sometimes, nothing is more terrifying and destructive than success - especially if that success involves placating careless non-dreamers who can't grasp the concept of achieving anything beyond the material. The chef can't retire. His soul has been ended before his physical form, leaving nothing but empty revenge. In my case, it was the words "Why write if you're not going to publish and make money?" which made me dread the possibility of success. Did you follow in the footsteps of Tolkien and Hemmingway and Fitzgerald? Or, are you simply the king of the cultural wasteland? IMO, I think the greatest artists in the world forever lose sleep over that kind of question, published or unpublished, successful or not. The overall message, I think, is don't mess with someone's journey towards finding purpose.

​@@starchild3215 I didn't like it at first - I don't like depressing or mean movies. But my friend liked it a lot, so I went looking for meaning. This review (w/slight spoilers) actually changed my mind, & explained it in a way I liked. It's still depressing, but now I get the thought & the care behind it. Skip the review's 1st 55 seconds of vulgar in-jokes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WFkFWU_bXco.html

​@@PaladinSaris I just lost it & snort-laughed aloud. GREAT comment!!!!!

Make them cheeseburgers instead.

"they must be so free".....stole an entire movie with ONE line once. He's incredible.

It's pretty much intentional. Margot has the most down to earth job compared to the rest of the guests. She is just a common person who likes food for food and taste, not idea and meaning behind the dish. The latter of which chef is sick for. That's why he is arguably the happiest at the moment Margot says "now that's is a cheeseburger". Someone appreciated his food as, well, food

Movie is shit. I was so hyoed to see it but it failed miserably

@blood.of.fenrir5575 When it comes to most movies, I keep my expectations pretty low. With that in mind, I usually enjoy most flicks. This one I would like to see just because it looks interesting. No movie is perfect, and all the material used in most movies is not new.

God talks to me.

Because she convinced him that she belonged to the “common man” group

Why tf has everyone started saying “y’all” all of a sudden? It’s cringe af

We serve food here sir.
