Master Chef
I'm currently watching the movie "Chef". I've seen it multiple times in the past. About a popular chef who got a crappy review from a food critic.
I *loved* Tampopo! An awesome movie!I don't remember watching many food related movies, but this movie is in my all time favourite top five movies. Tampopo. It's entertaining and wonderfully bizarre. It has a main story and lots of vignettes. Here's the Wikipedia article about it. Tampopo
She died of cardiac arrest, not a heart attack. What makes you think she had atherosclerosis? Lots of things can cause the heart to stop beating.I really enjoyed Julie & Julia, and was reading recently, the person that the movie was written about, died. Her name was Julie Powell, she had a previous arrhythmia then died of a heart attack, at age 49. Her and her husband had covid the month before. She saw a doctor a day or two before she died for black hairy tongue (covid symptom). I felt so sad at her dying so young from atherosclerosis. It's so unfair that the first symptom of atherosclerosis can be a heart attack. Not everyone makes it past that.
Ah, ‘Chef’ – a culinary rollercoaster! The passion, the drama, and those mouthwatering Cuban sandwiches – they’re etched in my memory. And that food truck journey? Pure inspiration! ”I'm currently watching the movie "Chef". I've seen it multiple times in the past. About a popular chef who got a crappy review from a food critic.

Yeah love those a lot and amoung the best imo along with most of what's already been said. I'll add "Big Night" with Stanley Tucci, Minnie Driver and Isabella Rossellini set in the Jersey shores in the 50's, Two brothers offereing real Italian food while competing with a local restaurant that serves American Italian from a flamboyant owner, love it.A few movies about food that I've enjoyed are "The Hundred-Foot Journey" with Helen Mirren, "Chocolat" with Juliette Binoche and "Chef" with Jon Favreau.
I remember watching that on "First Choice", I think it was called. Canada's first commercial free, movie channel through cable. Anyhoo, I watched it numerous times, because I could and I liked it. Actually, along with Tampopo, it is in my 4 top favourite movies list. I don't remember the line anymore, but there was one line where the subtitle wasn't exactly what was said in Danish. (Yes, I speak Danish. It's my first language.) I noticed it in particular, because it was even better than the Danish. It was a tiny change, something about the turtle or the turtle soup.Yeah love those a lot and amoung the best imo along with most of what's already been said.

The other one that comes to mind is "Babette's Feast" A Danish film and the first Oscar for Denmark for best foreign film. Babette was a famous French chef and basically a refuge from Paris during the revolution that end up in a convent, so to speak on the coast of Denmark who according to instruction served the daily "gruel" Well Babette won a lottery in Paris through contacts she had in Paris and decided to offer the convent a real French Feast, and they accepted.
