The sushi making scene in Isle of Dogs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enuua9-1Y5Q
How did they miss Pig?
This was my first thought too.
Jules taking a massive bite out of a Big Kahuna burger and washing it down with some of Brett's tasty beverage.
Yeah, this is the first one I thought of.
The dinner scene in Tom Jones!
Much of "Chef," obviously.
Really surprised that Babette’s Feast was not included.
The prison cooking scene in Goodfellas!
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover has an incredibly memorable food scene at the end!
I love The Big Night but the first 40 minutes of The Taste of Things with Juliette Binoche from 2023 are sublime.
"Put it on a plate, son. You'll enjoy it more." ...when Otto grabs some food in Repo Man.
