[Anonymous No.19629789]

There's a Chinese movie, I believe it's "Eat Drink Man Woman" or some combination of those words, it's about an old Chinese chef and his personal life and stuff, really good.
Unfortunate thing about shows and films about cooking, there's only a few of them and everyone's going to rec the same few, my own rec is a common rec for this question, one I've asked before.
Anyways for me, it's the aforementioned Chinese film, then Chef, Boiling Point (both the more recent, fictional drama, and the older documentary about a young Gordon Ramsay going for his third Michelin star. Season one of the bear was great, it gave me PTSD flashbacks to my years in the kitchen, but I still liked it. Did not care for the second season.
Another common rec is Burnt, but I didn't like it. The Menu was amazing, first movie in years I actually saw in theaters too.
Waiting is a classic and a must watch if you've ever worked in any restaurant, especially if you worked some fast casual shit like chili's like I did when I was starting out.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, everyone loves this movie but I just don't, and I can't even articulate why I don't. I just really couldn't see Bradley Cooper as a chef, everything just felt like what a movie producer thinks working fine dining is like, despite being admittedly fairly accurate.

Our discussion made me appreciate your perspective on the dummy dumb films that have come out... I suppose there is some truth to them but it is not a truth that I personally have seen, as such, it's unrelateable/hollywood-ish for me. I think if I worked in Chicago for cunts then watched a show about someone in Chicago being a cunt I'd view that as a good portrayal... but all the same as someone who is professional to another, take your skills to people who will love you for them.

It's cool to know there are other actual chefs on this board.
Only thing I'm tripping on, you've NEVER worked any place where you got screamed at? How did you wind up working at benis for eleven years (video's eleven years old) without getting hollered at once? Even before Alinea, every chef I've worked for was a loudmouth abusive wannabe.

I like Japanese food/cooking shows. A bit selling point for me is learning a lot of Japanese food history, esp local/regional specialties, and the comfiness. Also the food/cooking porn.
>Midnight Diner
It's alright. The setting is comfy. It's on Netflix in the US. Food relates to the the story somehow and each story is standalone, although some there's running gags/plots.
>Solitary Gourmet / Kodoku no Gourmet
It's about a salesman who visits restaurants. I think what's really interesting is that all the restaurants he visits are actual restaurants and real dishes, so it's basically free advertisement/tour of Japan.
>Izakaya Bottakuri
Comfy SoL small Japanese pub cooking.
>Wakakozake
It's basically Solitary Gourmet but a girl who likes to drink and the best side dishes to go with each drink
>Samurai Gourmet
It's alright. It deals more with social etiquette of how to properly eat Japanese food (like should I order a beer even though it's noon?). I fucking swear the wife is fucking the yoga instructor.
>Kantaro: Sweet Tooth Salaryman
Probably the second funniest shows on this list. It's good comedy imo. Salaryman ditches work to eat sweets. Girl is obviously into him but he doesn't give a fuck. He just wants sugar.
>The Makanai
It's about a live-in cook at a Maiko (geisha in training) house. Comfy Kyoto lifestyle and learn about geisha culture. I keep fucking thinking it's slave labor because they don't pay her to cook and she's like just fresh out of middle school.
>Tampopo

We have this exact thread a few times a year. It's always a good way to gauge the changing board culture over the years by seeing how many people post fake food movies like Burnt, Chef, Julie & Julia, or The Menu, and how long it takes for someone to post Tampopo.

I mean, I think I know what you're trying to say but how unsuperficial do you want the food/cooking to be? You can't just go into extreme detail, films need to have narrative thrust and they need to be about characters, not just about the things they're doing, that's a documentary. It's hard to write more than one scene in a film where the actual specifics of a dish's preparation will affect the plot.

It's not that these filmmakers don't care about food, they care about making a movie first and the structures and techniques involved in that would be diminished if you were doing what you suggest. oppenheimer doesn't tell you how to make a nuke, countless music biopics don't go into the details of composition or the actual playing of the instrument. what you're describing sounds like it would be really, really boring to watch

What the fuck do you think Tampopo is? The difference is that Tampopo is a love letter to food, in spite of satirizing the culture surrounding it. The Menu is literally a comedic-horror flick where somebody's grand-nephew or whatever presented an idea that got greenlit, and then the writers just started googling "pretentious fine dining". It's not even that it's a bad movie; it's just that watching it from a /ck/ perspective is cringe as fuck. I turned it off when the clickbait-youtuber meme of the week smashburger turned out to be the thing that saved the day. The only thing more cringe is Julie & Julia, which interspersed Julia scenes just often enough to keep people from throwing their TVs out the window. And then there's shit like Burnt and 100 Foot Journey, which are basically the equivalent of A Dog's Purpose. And then there's Chef: the Instagram hipster of food movies.

That's not the point at all. Favreau literally hired flavor of the week chefs to show him how they'd prepare all the dishes in the film and then just copied them while making a "serious face". It's not just about being "realistic". It's about actually saying something about food while showing scenes of people actually cooking. Fucking hell. Just compare these two scenes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVgKccixIhQ&t=2s&ab_channel=schmingledaddy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbdUGdxX7ww&ab_channel=Axhol3Rose
The first one is complete slapstick, with a gastronomic hobo making a simple dish for a small child. The second one is meant to show how much dedication and ingrained technique a professional chef has even when preparing a simple dish for a a small child at home. The one that's supposed to be serious is the one that's laughable, while the comedic one actually looks like you're watching real cooking. Oh yeah, and in both of those scenes the respective director is doing all the actual cooking. I don't know. Call it "authenticity" or "soul" or whatever you want; if you can't tell the difference between these two scenes I don't think this is the board for you.

1) A flattop grill doesn't heat up immediately. It's already ridiculous that he'd be using it to make a single grilled cheese, especially while his son is sitting there waiting.
2) He wouldn't have his different cheeses already out and stacked like that when he could just put them directly on the bread once it's on the grill. It's a waste of a step, and only there so that the more keen eyed "foodie" in the audience can say, "that's called mise en place!" He's supposed to be a chef, not a Rachael Ray.
3) It's literally and unironically just a grilled cheese. You don't need to hover over it and constantly fuck with it. This guy would have cooked so much food in his life that he could knock out that grilled cheese while doing 10 other, more complicated things.
4) The idea that he's checking the bottom of the sandwich and then turning down the heat is retarded. It's his own, home grill. He would be familiar with it, and also know that turning it down a notch isn't going to do anything fast enough to make a difference.
5) Nobody whose worked in a kitchen would EVER move the sandwich to the plate only to slide it onto the cutting board 6 inches away. It's an unnecessary step, and messes up the presentation.
The point of the scene is supposed to be showing how much care and attention he puts into all food, even a simple grilled cheese at home, but it comes off the complete opposite. It makes him look like he's play-acting what he imagines a real chef is like at home. I almost expect him to go out back for a cigarette after all that work - but that would have been too realistic.

Exactly. That's why it's a fake food movie.

Does hearing that people who actually cook think your favorite movie sucks hurt your feefees? I bet you only come to /ck/ because of glamorized Hollywood crap like this, and think you're hot shit because you've made a few Ragusa recipes while it seems like everyone else here is eating fast food. Sound about right?

There's a show called Nailed It that I like because it doesn't take itself seriously at all. The bakers have no clue what they're doing and they aren't given enough time. It's like the opposite of Iron Chef. Everyone is just laughing at how awful the food is.

Pig with Nic Cage is a really beautiful film. The scene where he has a conversation with a Michelin star chef is so brutal. It's a film about being true to yourself.

Also, Poultrygeist, Food Nation, The Chef, and Edward Eggbeaterhands.

season 1 and 2 of Shokugeki no Soma are great. Season 3 is awful. In the previous seasons they'd have a complete food battle in one episode. It was fast and interesting. In season three a single battle takes three or four episodes for no fucking reason. Couldn't even finish it.

The first half dozen Lucky Peaches, his Momofuku cookbook, and pretty much all the LP cookbooks are also great. He literally just used up all his ideas right out of the gate and didn't have the experience to turn his overnight fame into something long-term. I don't know how many people buy cookbooks anymore (they should), but Power Vegetables is fucking awesome (not actually Chang, but one of the other main guys from the brand).

Any properly run trade workplace should not have yelling and screaming.
Any proper machinist shop, welding factory, carpentry shop, construction site, etc., should be calm and professional. A kitchen is no different.
The only reason that screaming is seen as at all 'normal' inside the food service industry is because of how many retards get jobs in it and have absolutely no sense of professionalism nor ability to conduct themselves maturely. Having a rush is not an excuse to break for acting mature and controlled.
Throwing a tantrum ruins the flow of work and kills consistency in product quality. No tradesman has ever made a better product because they were being screamed at to rush.

bruh i welded a guys toolbox to the workbench so he welded every single tool i had to the workbench and he was my best friend, the guys we hated had it so much harder (the not so square square ) watching someone build a crooked staircase and not realize it til about 1/3rd the way up will have you suffocating

Playing pranks on each other for fun is different from being unable to work as calm and collected professionals during actually important moments.
In kitchens, the equivalent to that is swapping someone's salt bowl for large grain sugar to see how long it takes them to notice. Or rubbing some cayenne or chili oil on a person's neck during a slow moment to fuck with them for the rest of the day.

But, do you scream at one another regularly when jobs got tough or stressful? Chances are, if your workplace is even barely decent, you almost never do. Because any skilled trade workplace relies on calm heads and competent but unrushed performance, so you have consistency and maintained quality between products being made.

This guy supremely based tho, played the long game and fucking headshot him. Absolute kino moment in schlock.
>>19629799
The reason you hate him is because he's that trope, a loveable asshole with le heart of gold where even his enemies begrudgingly respect him.
"We need you adam, you inspire us to greatness" Fucking really? This asshole who showed up in your restaurant on yet another bender? A week after you trashed your own restaurant in jealousy from reading he's doing well in the newspaper?

you could explain why...
>played the long game and fucking headshot him
it was a pretty based move, yes

>This asshole who showed up in your restaurant on yet another bender?
Everyone could see he was trying to turn over a new leaf. You don't kick a guy trying to do that when he falls of the wagon

>A week after you trashed your own restaurant in jealousy from reading he's doing well in the newspaper?
Because they're all assholes, including the rival. Yet he did the decent thing and gave him some words of encouragement and breakfast
To me, that's what the movie is really about

>he's that trope, a loveable asshole with le heart of gold
He's not
Burnt subverts that trope to spotlight the fact that this kind of behaviour is literally mentally ill
The guy is a series of catastrophic life decisions, needs to go to therapy (and refuses), and literally suicidal

Now you can agree or disagree with that opinion, but I thought the movie had a point, and made it in a good way
