Hello, foodies, chefs, home cooks, wine snobs, restaurant critics, and anyone who knows the difference between a sauce, a reduction, and a coulis.
In case you missed it, one of the greatest films of the year, and the best restaurant-themed horror film of all time, arrived in theaters last week. Yes. I am talking about The Menu.
In honor of this auspicious day for food in film, I have put together a 24-course tasting menu (or BuzzFeed listicle if you want to be dull about it) detailing some of our finest forays into filmic food culture.
