Food movie!

I just ran across a cool food movie that had heretofore escaped my
attention. It's Dinner Rush with Danny Aiello. Kind of like The Pope
of Greenwich Village crossed with that reality tv series, The
Restaurant. Real life depiction of an on-the-rise Italian eatery with
your cliche mob sub-plots. Some good and bad acting, but still
enjoyable. It did get my gustatory juices flowing ...but only until
the appearanc of Sandra Bernhard (the woman makes my skin crawl!).
Satisfying surprise ending. 😉

If you like food movies, the best one I've ever seen is "Eat, Drink,
Man, Woman" out of Taiwan with English subtitles. Google around and
you'll find articles about the incredible lengths they went to for
authentic cooking scenes - sometimes taking days to film one short
sequence, using multiple professional chefs and many copies of the
same food to get the desired results. Second on the list would be
"Tampopo", again with English subtitles.

At least now I have an excuse.

Thanks for the tip. "The Pope..." is one of my favorites of all
time, a great "buddy movie" shot before Rourke and Roberts went on
to smaller and worse things <g>. Ahhh, Sandra B...a "two bagger"
if there ever was one (one for her face, and one for yours in case
hers falls off) but oh my, from the neck down, mmmmmm, it would
work.

Yep, seen it several times. They also redid it Mexican style as
TORTILLA SOUP.

Ever seen Big Night? I'll have to see Dinner Rush to see how it matches
up.
