Between thriller and acerbic satire on how elitism and snobbery can corrupt the love for art and cooking, The Menu is a movie that takes its portrayal of culinary culture to its most radical extreme, where its practitioners, as if in a cult, are willing to kill and die in the name of their art.

One of the dichotomies in the narrative of The Bear is the separation between the world of popular food businesses and fine dining restaurants: "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) is a prestigious chef who, after his brother's suicide, must return home to take over his family's sandwich shop in Chicago and deal with the consequences. The Thai movie Hunger begins in the opposite direction: a young woman, running the family noodle business, is recruited for her talent to join a team of elite chefs under a renowned chef, preparing luxury dishes for diners who do not eat out of hunger, but because they can afford the most exquisite food in the world.
