Erin did exactly what chef hoped his customers would do. She showed up, she ate, she expressed any dissatisfaction, and she paid, and moved on. She was what he always imagined a customer would be

The issue is not that Tyler is a "fraud" in a sense that a foodie isn't supposed to be an awesome chef. The issue is how Tyler was constantly trying to get an "in" into the kitchen and to the chef while having no business being there at all.

So fun fact, Daniel Radcliffe was almost cast in John Leguizamo's role. They ended up not going with that because people would focus too much on "Harry Potter vs. Voldemort" aspect and it would distract too much from the plot. So they cast John Leguizamo instead.

As someone who spent years in food service, I spent the entire second half of the movie going, "I don't condone it...but I do understand it." I loved this movie. So excited to see you react!

Tyler knowing he is going to die and still snapping pictures rather than living in the moment is really something.

The moment at the end isn't an insult. She gave him a last moment of joy and politely and indirectly asked to leave, so he let her. It was one act of mercy traded for another.

For the ending, I think they both understood that there needed to be a reason to let her escape the fate of the others. Like he said, they needed to work for it, and she came up with a great method. She gave him a bit of cooking happiness before she left. He appreciated it and thanked her by letting her leave.

Honestly the burger cooking scene was my favorite. I bought burgers the next day because couldn't stop thinking about it.

Gotta love that Chef Slowik calls someone a "donkey" at some point. You know the screenwriter has seen his share of Gordon Ramsay.

As a pro chef I can say I do understand where Ralph Fiennes character is coming from... 👩🏻‍🍳

I love the small side-plot where Erin had a history with the married man, and his wife comments how she looks like their daughter. When we later hear Erin's telling of her encounter with him, we can then assume that the husband must have been abusing his daughter, and she took her own life. The wife also knows this, though whether it's before or she figures it out during the dinner, we can't know. But it explains her kindness toward Erin and also her acceptance of her own death. She knows she deserves to die, she knows her husband deserves to die.

I kind of think that the reason why nobody fought back is because chef Slowik slowly but surely exhausted their hope to survive. And I think Oak is right that those weren't the people who are really fighters in their life.

I know Oak was expecting to get flamed in the comments but he's nailed on the head the meaning and message behind this movie! The overproduction of food, the routine pretentiousness that's become the standard in so many arts is exactly what they're calling out. Your experiences, Oak, shaped an understanding to spot the ridiculousness of all the self indulgent guests of Hawthorne, save Erin/Margott Great reaction, great points, great video!

I always thought that taking the food home was a compliment.. like i love this shit so much that i don't want to leave it here

This is why I love the movie, immediately you think cannibals but they totally twist it to a totally new and valid concept. It’s great

"Even your hot dishes are cold" wow that's the review I wanna leave when a restaurant does bad service.

As a former line cook, who went for a year of culinary school: 50-70 percent of cooks smoke, and if that is their only addiction, you will be very lucky

I miss the theater experience because of college but once I saw it I fell in love with it because my eyes were glued to the screen about how the food was made. The acting was phenomenal by Ralph, Anya, and Nicholas and I loved how they didn’t took this movie to seriously and it became my favorite cult horror comedy.

I think what I appreciate most about this film as a cook is the accuracy when they talk about food. Yes it is absolutely pretentious food but the techniques are legit and the dedication chef shows is only a slight exaggeration of the attitude I've seen from chefs I've worked under
