Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?
These are all great! I always liked the scene in "The Godfather" where Clemenza teaches them how to cook. Oh, I would love to have that recipe!
Question of the Day: What's Your Hangover Cure?
Menudo is the breakfast of champions. With a Dos Equis chaser.
Remembering R. W. Apple Jr.
Thank you, Eaterreader, I was just about to say something about that issue myself. Couldn't have said it better.

Baguettes Are Us: What's Your Favorite
I have found Balthazar's baguette to be maddeningly inconsistent: good some days, bad on others. I'm beginning to think there is a limit to how good a mass-produced baguette can be.
Baguettes Are Us: What's Your Favorite
i agree with Linda. I just tried Balthazar's baguette and it was NOT good.
Highly disappointing, in fact.
Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?
A dinner scene that is memorable for being cringe-worthy and hilarious (rather than delicious) is the one in "The Birdcage," when the hosts are desperately trying to cover up the homoerotic images on their china and the fact that "Mother Coleman" is actually a man (while she charms the pants off the conservative senator).
Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?
La Vie Boheme from the movie Rent. No food is really eaten but they order it and its amazing.
Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?
Monty Python The Meaning of Life when the fat guy explodes after his after-dinner mint!
Edibles: 'Speaking' Italian
I was ready for the usual "mock Italians, it's fun" way, but what can I say: everything it's absolutely true... We use all those expressions...
:-DDD
WIN DINNER WITH ME AND A FAMOUS FOODIE!
By that measure, in my experience -- and I've followed his taste recommendations in both New York and San Francisco, in high-end restaurants as well as holes-in-the-wall -- the best food writer I know of is Ed Levine.
Glad to hear someone ackowledge that reviewing food is something that should be accible to the other 95% of restaurant goers, not just those who like to feel superior. A review of a meal that only 5% of your viewers would ever consider eating is just forgetting your audience or perhaps just appeasing yourself over them. Reviewing food in your mind is for the chef, reviewing it in your words is for readers.
Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?
How about that dinner in Soylent Green where they find some real wine and meat? No. 1 for me is Babette's Feast though.
Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?
Although it really dates me, I have to go with "Tom Jones".
