Name the greatest "cook" in films.
 
I always loved movies where people were cooking or making all sort of delicious food from high quality stuff or from almost anything :)
You can post a Youtube video(from a movie), a picture capturing a "cooking moment" or a movie poster ....anything that has something to do with food or cooking.
It can be a movie about a cook making his most amazing dish for a special event, or even a moment from Hannibal (2001)... where Lecter is cooking Ray Liota's brain for dinner :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwTqpWRGmYc
Because as we saw in The Silence of the Lambs (1991) he was bragging about his cooking skills :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHoqL7DFevc
And he wasn't a bad cook after all :nope:
Leaving any joke aside, feel free to write about any kind of film which involves cooking or some kind of food making.
I will start with a movie called :
Chef 2014

And also with a French one, with Jean Reno :
The Chef (2012)

Bon Appétit :)

Not my area of expertise re: actual cooking, but can’t help but point out Lecter’s cooking skills got a much better treatment in Hannibal the show.

The first answer I thought of was the dad in Eat Drink Man Woman.

Was he cooking Chinese ? Or some Asian recipe ?
They say Asian food is one of the best in the world.... meaning they have a huge variety of seafood and other healthy stuff. Of course excepting the fact that they sometimes eat dogs and snakes in some parts :) I just love their noodles with chicken in pineapple sauce :)

Burnt - 2015 - Matthew Rhys cooking for Bradley Cooper a very tasty omelet...

I loved that film.... I just remembered "her" fake breasts on fire :up:
One of the greatest movies where men were disguised as women.
I couldn't stop laughing when Robin Williams was playing his roles.
My favorite film was The Birdcage (1996) - the remake after La Cage aux Folles. from '78.

Those two guys in Ernest Goes to Camp

He made stuff I never even heard of before.

Big second to Bradley Cooper in Burnt...the guy was a jerk but he was an incredible cook.
