Every dish from The Menu (2022)

I am obsessed with this movie, and if movie reviews still did well on my main channel I would make an entire video essay about it. Instead, here's a quick video that I was surprised no one had made yet: a compilation of every dish in the movie.

Fun fact about “Man’s folly”

The primary ingredient in that dish, Dungeness crab, can only have the male crabs harvested and eaten. The females are protected and have to be released from the catch to ensure the population is not overfished.

Its thematically resonant with the fact that while the female guests are being served the dish, the male ones are being hunted by Chef’s staff.

Love how the ingredient of smore includes customer, staff and restaurant

[lumethecrow]

I like how Slowik ate the clearly raw lamb without really caring, due to him knowing that he'll die tonight anyway

[Fefe]

I love the idea of the text overlay presenting each dish.
Not only does it add a moment of silence between each dish, but it also allows for some great comedic pieces like "tyler's bullshit" or "Smore: marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, staff, guests, restaurant."

[NicSmacked]

Id hate my life as well if I had to make miniature art installations all day

[Cardboardwater]

I love how the plate or the cheeseburger imitates a paper plate fast food is served at during BBQs, it even has a little fold how creative

[hartekunst]

"You're not the common man, so no bread"
Continues to serve bread immediately with the next course.

You forgot the birthday cake for the finance bros.

Funny how good the food looks in The Menu, when according to the actors behind the scenes who ate it, it did not taste as good as it looked.

The Mess was made with bone marrow, beef jus, and potato confit - the culinary equivalent to blood, sweat, and tears

3:53 I can’t tell if the dish was made for him because of where he’s hiding or it was already made

[basedbattledroid]

Even if he managed to cook it well; Tyler's dish says nothing about him as a person, no allegory or comment for a significant part of his life, unlike every other dish Julian and his staff worked on, so yeah it was bullshit lol

[salvadorsanone]

I like the bread part it has a deeper meaning
That most rich people would starve rather than eat food like peasants

[FittedSheetGaming]

I love how Gordon Ramsey watched this and was like "i just wished theyd used more practical dishes" as if that wasnt the whole point of the movie

[thefatman]

I like how the movies entire plot revolves around how food is precieved and how you should only care about the quality of taste and portion rather than caring about the presentablity of dishes

[tanzilalam]

Fun fact the actor John Leguizamo who played the role of movie star in this film actually ordered Five guys burgers for all the crew and stars on the set because he felt really tempted by the burger at the end of the movie shown.

[jforjester]

I love the description of the cheese burger.

It just says "just a well-made cheese burger".

[originalname]

The breadless bread plate is one of the greatest backhanded compliments I’ve seen in a movie.

[maxximus]

Fun fact, when she took a bite out of the cheeseburger, it represented her taking a bite out of a cheeseburger. Amazing representation.

[chefbrett]

What really sucks is that that's going to be the first and last time she will ever be able to have that specific cheeseburger. 😢
