Have you ever paid extra attention to a movie because it's talking about something you do in your life? People who are deeply in love may like to see romantic movies. Paleontologist might have been very excited when Jurassic Park came out. How about movies about cooking? Do chefs get excited when they see movies about cooking? What are the best movies about cooking out there?
I once asked this question to my colleagues at JG. Chef Mark Lapico told me his favorite movie about cooking is Eat, Drink, Man, Woman. I never have a chance to see the movie. But from what he said, the movie has very elaborate cooking scenes.
At that time, my favorite was Sideways. It's not much about cooking but more about wine. However, that was long before my new favorite movie released, Ratatouille by Pixar animation studio.
I really like the scene when Anton Ego, a prestigious food critique, spent the whole night deciding what the review for Remy's ratatouille should be. It really reflects how serious a good critique should consider before publish his review. If any chefs ever have experience with bad, unfair reviews, they will understand me.
Another point that I like and think it's cool is when Gusto's chef tries to get Linguini drunken by pouring him Chateau Latour! Chateau Latour, guys! I wish I worked in that restaurant.
What's also funny is that Anton Ego choice of wine is Chateau Cheval Blanc. The very same one Miles drinks at the end of Sideways. How luxury their lives are.
