In college at a local theater, they would show this movie, and then at a nearby restaurant, they would recreate the meal. They had to use "mock turtle soup" however, but it was quite a treat. In this case, one could watch it if one were hungry!
In my humble opinion, this is the classic food movie.
My first post here.
Another classic is the japanese movie "Tampopo"

Of the many many wonderful scenes in this classic, my favorite is the one in the French restaurant where the young man takes over the
ordering off the menu while his boss is kicking him under the table.

  In strict Japanese business society one is expected to order only and exactly what the leader orders. All the others present followed the rule but the young man in question was *totally oblivious*, not to mention too downright eager for a Japanese -- that was the joke.

        Do you seriously think it's my favorite scene because of the cheap slapstick?

...bout 'classic food movie'.
It's like saying Bagdad Caf� was about 'motels'.
I think it's more a classic 'giving' film.
