ENOUGH with the movies about chefs!

Burnt, Chef, Ratatouie, the list goes on and on.

Am I the only one who is literally sick to death of movies about chefs?

All it does is glorify a basic and overpaid job and lead to our nation getting fatter and fatter. There's no imagination in it!

The only chef film I want to see is one where the chef stops selling unhealthy food and starts pushing a healthier agenda, every chef I've ever met is overweight and disgusting. At least Bradley Cooper is fit, although I hope there are scenes of him exercising in admist of all the shots of him stuffing his face!

Hopefully next year they start making movies about people with jobs that actually contribute something worthwhile to society. Who's with me?

If Americans actually learnt to cook (which a movie about chefs is meant to promote) and stopped eating garbage processed food and esp fast food, we wouldn't be so fat.

There are plenty of healthy chefs. No one who eats fast food is healthy. And you don't need a chef to show you how to eat healthy.

Why do you think that this is exclusive to Americans

And what's with all these movies about space? And gangsters? And zombies?
In fact, what's with all these movies?

How are Chefs leading our nation to getting fatter and fatter? Most Chef serve very small portion, and would cringe at anything close to McDonalds, and have you seen Chef Ramsay's? Quite skinny.

They are the true superheros. Mario Batali is richer than Tony Stark and rightly so.

Yes, why don't we have something original - I know: "Former military/paramilitary dude pushed too far when his family is killed, seeks revenge", we could even have an original cover: some dude holding a gun!

Wow, literally?

Then you must be posting from beyond the grave.

That Chef movie with Cathrine Zeta-Jones was cool.

No Reservations was based on a German original: Mostly Martha. And the original didn't have to reach for a glamour girl to play the lead.

I feel the same way. I think I am mostly tired of the cooking segments on TV. Some of the chef movies I liked, for example Mostly Martha and I am Love. Movies which were more about relationships than only food.
Of course food is important in our life and good food is one of the most enjoyable experience we can have. But seeing the food being prepared and eaten on TV or on the big screen does not give you that experience. The moment they come up with a way that we can taste it, I am in.
