@@cocoplayz7887 Chef is one of my favorite movies of all time because it goes backwards. Most stories revolving around a plot such as this would involve a character starting high and spiraling down to failure, and you'd watch how they cope with it. The rising action of such a story, possibly even the climax, would be a scene like this. It would be loaded with drama, like familial issues, problems with interpersonal relationships, etc. However, Chef goes in the complete opposite direction. The movie lightly touches on the subject of Carl's marital status, but 99.9% of the movie is about his food and how he likes making food with other people who like making food. Many stories would make the drama a huge part of the plot, but Chef puts all the drama in the first 15 minutes. The rest of it is just some guy doing stuff that makes him happy, and getting success out of it.
If it wasn't for this particular food critic, Jon Favreau's character would end up playing it safe, still working under the leach of a restaurant owner with no vision.
Yeah, some smug fuck sitting there who has no idea what the people go through to create it and has no ability to come close to it yet shits on it anyway. Fuck critics.
@@jamiestewart48 Critics are a pretty important source of growth and input for artists and the arts. A lot of them can be pretty knowledgeable and be a help, even if they don’t see being nice about it as a priority. But yeah it can be pretty frustrating as an aspiring artist to just be told “you suck” and be expected to smile back and say “thanks.” Artists are people too and eventually those aggravations can just blow up.
@@jon8004 tbh critics love what your selling and they happen to also share your passion, only difference being they are on the receiving end. Trust me if they didn’t care, they wouldn’t say anything. If they didn’t care, they’d say the food is good just to be polite but not give you anything constructive if anyway shape or form. The customers are ones that don’t care and if they eat at a bad restaurant, will never come back and won’t think twice about the nobody chef who made the meal in the first place. It’s the critics WHO DO care and constantly come back checking for growth and a better experience then last time because again they love the thing that you are selling and they just want to enjoy it. They want to see you succeed and do good, NOT they average customer.
I had too many problems with this scene, number 1 it turned out later that the critic backed Carl hard early in his career so Carl would have some familiarity with him, but here he acts like he never knew him. I also found it weird Carl was surprised the critic would be hard on him making probably the same food that made him big probably years and years ago. Chris Rock said it best, if it ain't new its through.
He's gotta point he works hard, wakes up early everyday and puzzles his head to innovate in new menus, only to get ripped by his asshole boss and the critic.
Love how Jon's outburst feels wholly unscripted. Like when you lose it on someone, you're not prepping for a speech or even thinking all that straight. More often than not you shudder, pause to collect what you wanna say (or really yell) next, and repeat yourself.
he did make all that food on his own. It surprises me because I can barely boil an egg without it busting out, or cook a steak and having to worry about the fire alarm going off.
He’s a passionate fan of Star Wars. He’s a Hardcore fan. He’s a big of Luke Skywalker in LEGENDS and the EU as well. He HATES the Sequel Trilogy with The Last Jedi & The Rise of Skywalker. He’s the main guy and passionate creator that he directed and created the MCU with Iron Man 1 back in 2008 and a actor that he plays Happy Hogan in the whole MCU. He’s iconic!!!!!
His character in the movie is really flawed, and he's not strictly the most likeable person by a good stretch, but it also makes him very realistic. Never mind just how brutal a profession being a top notch and highly regarded chef can generally be.
I love this scene. This is so understandable when working in a service industry. Sometimes your whole livelihood is on the lines of what a person thinks of your performance no matter how unfair or ignorant it may be.
Someone made a good point on the movie, between the Critic Vs Chef scene Basically at the end of the movie when the Critic speaks to Chef, you learn that the critic was actually one of the first ones to back Chef up. Due to how continuous and unoriginal a lot of his cooking became he couldn't back him up, which lead to the whole negative comment and on forward. The whole point of this scene is how Chef was upset at not being able to have control of his kitchen nor the menu and taking out his frustration at the critic.
I also see Carl's view of it too, you gotta remember that he only worked there....yeah he can input new, creative dishes but the owner had the final say so and what he said goes(as shown earlier in the movie when the owner basically told him to cook what he told him, not what Carl wanted to make originally) and it gotta suck to have your creativity being stomped to favor the customers who were so afraid to branch out their comfort zone and try new dishes.....so to deal with that and this food critic who's basically shittin on him, it made it worse when he finally snapped
I have to note that in the beginning of his rant, he did get very specific regarding his criticism of the critic's criticism. If the critic actually wrote that chocolate lava cake is just undercooked chocolate cake, then maybe he should think about another line of work... After that solid example, all this critic's cruel, "Ramseyesque" rhetoric looses credibility. Of course after that, Carl completely flips his lid and THATS what shows up on social media.
exactly, i think one of the slept on lines of the films is when the critic says that he thought the online stuff was playful banter, or somewhere on those lines, like he says it's his job and brand to be a snob online, that he wouldn't dream of stepping into the Kitchen against Casper.
I think the most underlooked part of this scene is that the critic doesn’t even need to say anything despite his words being the biggest part of his career. The cameras in the background are the sign that he’s already won.
What does winning mean, here? Is closing down a good restaurant run by good people that serves good food in earnest, "winning"? Does anyone actually benefit? When a parasite finally sucks the last drop of blood from it's dying host before it falls over, has either party actually won anything? Don't be a such a fucking idiot next time.
For all the Chefs and cooks out there. Please use this as a means of venting that anger and rage from those who tear apart your work. Keep at it continue practicing and wow your customers with your art.
It's the way that the critic just leans back and looks around and smirks at him that really gets under my skin. It's like when children are intentionally cruel and then laugh when their victim stands up for themselves, it's _infuriating._

Probably one of favourite scenes across all movies I've watched. Anybody who's tried really hard at one thing can relate to this. Yes, it's cringey and unprofessional, but goddamn it's also heart.
So, I am a decent cook and a decent critic but this critic crossed a line talking about the chef's personal life. That is what really broke him deep down. Not everyone is going to like your food no matter how tasty it is. People have their preferences. But the critic touched on chef's appearance and supposed personality in his review when the food is the star of the show. I can understand why he'd crush him for that
Love the fact all the comments are from people who don’t work in the industry, us hospitality members work hours upon hours, missing all the good bits in life for snobs/critics just absolutely destroying our work, then go home and put a ready to eat meal in the microwave and say oh that bland pice of plastic was amazing
It's Molton......OK.....It's F##king Molton....... this scene wants to make you cry......so powerful......you can really see and feel his frustration and anger.... one of the most emotional scenes in the movie.....
It's just so wrong, but as someone who's been in the service industry for my whole life, in private, back of the house, I witnessed our manager do something similar to this. All you ever want to happen is to see something like this, and them sticking up for you, and I had the privilege to see it. Usually, you never do, you simply never really would out of professionalism. I'll tell you about this time, though, and this was my first job, I still can't wrap my head around how it was my first job, and I'm so grateful for it. Not even into the frying pan, just, directly into the fire, got to see the best of the best and learn from them without really grasping how great of an opportunity it was. It was in Minneapolis, I won't say the name of the place, but it was a 3-star joint. It was Valentine's Day, I'll never forget... It was a restaurant/hotel. The system was, just, pure perfection in how it ran. If you stay as a guest, you keep the card at the front desk, naturally. This couple, young, nice gal, fuckin', ugh, fucking douche of a boyfriend, Jesus, I mean... this guy was the epitome of a well-dressed, well-to-do fucking meathead, with a fat fuckin wallet...they had a good table, service was well over and way beyond, I mean it always was, for everyone, no matter when, but this was a two-top, it was Valentine's Day, and it was an anniversary deal. We were overbooked, and entrees were under the heaters, everyone that night ordered 2 of the 3 specials we had out for that occasion, and the desserts were lined up nearby as well. The desserts were all the same as a part of a 3-course meal, the only difference was the appetizers and entrees, which sounded good on paper, but shit got a little behind, it was manageable, though. This table, not the woman but her fucking, jackwagon of a fuckin boyfriend was inconsolable because they, during the height of a rush, received a dessert before the entrees, which is an immediate fix, given how many entrees were lined up in the kitchen, it would just be traded out, no problem. Just in and out, nothing really needed made-to-order, we could just swap right away. All under the heater, sure, but ready to push out on the fly. But no, he decided it was flatly unacceptable. The server who had that section of tables went to the manager to relay the complaint, and I swear to god, I've never since seen something so heroic. The whole night until then was flawless. Stressful, but flawless. The manager looked in her eyes, looked at me, back at her, then at me, my mouth kinda curled, like, yeah, this dude is a dick. He sort of understood my position as this newbie kid, everyone there did, and just sort of accepted it. They shouldn't ever have, but they did. I'll love them for that always. They risked my idiot ass being there, and put up with me. I don't know why, but they did. I didn't quite understand the ropes to the point where I wasn't really afraid to speak my mind when others were, otherwise hesitant about totally, idk, being unfiltered about guests, speaking out loud about it when it called for it, and looking back it makes me think happily that we shared this sort of rare, "uncensored" relationship about opinions and shit, outside the boundaries of courtesy. They should have clamped down on that but they never did, I was like this black sheep of the crew, and I was never reprimanded and the rest of them were like, wtf, how do you get away with this? lol. Idk man, because I could work at a gas station, too, maybe? lol I just sort of picked up on like, they needed one guy to put shit in perspective, to managers, and I never hesitated doing it, and in a strange way, I think that they, upper management that is, wanted that element, I think that's why they even kept me there so long, but of course with enough tact, mind you, but, I grew up as this gutterpunk asshole, and found myself in this awesome fuckin place. And at that time, not recognizing how people like myself, with that attitude never happen upon such a great opportunity, and from not recognizing, never quite knew when to shut the fuck up. Just brazenly saying shit out loud when others wouldn't, but, at the same time, being on the same page. It's hard to describe. He looked at me though, for like a solid 5 seconds, enough for me to telepath to him, like, yes, fuck this guy, he should not be here among human beings trying to have a good night, let alone the rest of us here, on the clock, and I think he heard my thoughts or some shit, because he B-lined to the front desk, asked for the card, and during service, went to the table, and I'll remember vividly, forever, him at the table holding the card between his fingers and frisbeed that card at the guy and said, "I'm sorry we don't meet your standards. We'll get your coats for you. My advice is you never step foot in here again." The guy attempted to negotiate and the manager said, "No, I'm being polite right now. Don't come back. Don't recommend us either. Don't come back, and where ever you go next, treat your server like they're worth a goddamn." Me, and all of us, were fucking stunned. It was loud enough for the whole floor to hear. Other patrons watched and turned to others at their tables, and you could see that they respected that move. It was completely unprofessional, but this man has been in the industry for decades. He stuck up for the staff, and his philosophy was, if you treat the staff like garbage for no real reason, we don't welcome you here as a guest. Period. I know it seems terse and maybe even childish, but if I ever find myself in that area again, and need a job, I'm going back there. He knew that place's reputation, as did everyone else, and simply took no bullshit. It was a quality control thing. I respect the shit out of that move. They meekly left, his girlfriend was totally understanding and sympathetic and apologized profusely while her shitty date turtled up. We all let her know we appreciated her time with us, and said nothing more than that. We refunded them, they left. And everything continued smoothly and we overhead others diners leave talking about what had happened and how sickly sweet it was to see someone in authority saying "fuck you" to those who deserve to hear it when they never do anywhere else. I love that guy forever for that. We all put 110% in that night, and to be the target of humiliation over a simple mistake never permits a patron to loudly complain (maybe I should have said so earlier, I mean, he was loud and obnoxious and unfair about it when it happened, it wasn't a private whisper complaint to the server, it was, "THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, WHAT KIND OF MORON YOU GOT RUNNING THIS PLACE? SHOULD BE A ZOO, THE MONKEYS YOU HAVE HERE!" --verbatim.No shit.) If it wasn't so crowded, if it weren't Valentine's Day, and because the rest of the customers were polite enough and private enough because of it, you knew they would have applauded our manager for what he did. The server, their server, super nice, super sensitive, in a good way, was so upset and embarrassed for this slight mistake and thought she fucked up so royally, was in the kitchen and didn't see or hear the exchange, and after he did, he went to the kitchen, saw her trying not to cry, trying to pull it together, and he took her aside, and he said, "fuck that prick, I know you're on your game, honey", and hugged her. He never even shook hands with people. It was just beautiful to watch. That was the moment when I realized, oh, when we had meetings and I heard this "B.S." about being a family there, that's when I knew they weren't lying. I'll never ever forget that night.
The sad thing is, this critic is his biggest fan and he’s frustrated with how standard his cooking has become. So while cathartic, it ultimately sets in motion getting his groove back.
He's a truly honest critic that loves the subject he criticizes; a rare thing this day and age where so many critics are just shills for whoever pays them. His honesty is what pushes the chef to break free and do what he loves.
I think getting a food truck was the best thing that could have happened to this guy. Clearly he was unhappy with his job, had a controlling boss and just wanted to be creative with his cooking.
After he said, "he thought you were going to close his restaurant down" and then the insult; he should have left it at that, lol he would have been ok. Lol
I think the best part about this scene shows how twitter users are in real life. On twitter, they're so smug and overly confident talking shit to others with 0 thoughts about repercussions. While if you go face to face with these people in reality, they can't even speak. Lmao
The movie truly shows whatever effort you are attempting to make. You'll always get haters. Do not pay attention to criticism. Use criticism as a positive aspect. The majority of the opinion matters. One review won't make any difference. If most of your clients enjoy your food, you never let yourself down because of backlash. Chef truly highlighted the importance of social media in business. You certainly need creativity as a cook if you do not wanna get surpassed by competitors.
Artist should understand that critics don’t care. Artist should do art for people, not for marketing. I know that is hard af and it may not be the best option to get a living out of it, but all the media surrounding the arts it’s just there to get a profit from you, whether it is by praising your work or destroying your work, they don’t care. As an architect, it’s really hard to work for the people, to find clients that are ok with your fees, sometimes you have to work with the popular rich architect studio that only designs for other rich people and gets popularity from big architecture magazines, but working for the people, giving time to a project that won’t get that much money but a lot of recognition from a family, a community, that gives you the best reward. A chef, in my personal opinion and outside the food business, should be happy that people wants his food, enjoys the food, despite what media tells you about that food.
It makes perfect sense. His outrage and indignation toward this one critic, who apparently comes across smug, elitist, unsympathetic and arrogant frequently is heart rending, but the chef just didn't stop to think of the consequences, and that's even more heart rending.
This is one of the best movies I've seen in years....the character development, the casting, the directing. the acting. and the story.....the food looks great...David Choi and Wolfgang Puck both instructed Favreau how to cook.....There's nothing about this movie that is a negative
This Movie is criminally underrated

But the critic touched on chef's appearance and supposed personality in his review when the food is the star of the show. I can understand why he'd crush him for that
There are no decent critics.
Binging with Babish brought me here.
Me too
I'm sorry
I am desperate for chef 2 thats 1 hr 49 minutes aint enough
One of the best scenes in one of the best movies.
Love the fact all the comments are from people who don’t work in the industry, us hospitality members work hours upon hours, missing all the good bits in life for snobs/critics just absolutely destroying our work, then go home and put a ready to eat meal in the microwave and say oh that bland pice of plastic was amazing
Love Oliver Platt’s subtle reactions in this scene - that takes immense talent and generosity in a scene like this.
İt takes true talent to do nothing yea ..
How I act when people are in fact getting to me
1:35 Carl Casper’s biggest rampage
This scene is so intense with Jon favreau have a meltdown and unleashing his frustration at Oliver patty
*All This Because Dustin Hoffman Didn't give him his Fucking Second Chance..*
“You just shit on my shit” dead 💀🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
MY SHIT WAS MOLTEN!!!
My father was a chef for over 20 years and he has felt with critics like this
As a graduate from Johnson & Wales University this IS incredibly accurate to the culinary world
i just graduated from jwu too! did you go to providence or charlotte?
@@deetalley3442 providence I graduated in 2015
I also went to pvd, graduated in December 2021
When he said “then you just smugly sit there and shit on my shit, it hurts” I FELT that
He was the lorax of the kitchen. He spoke for the cooks.
That's not acting.
That's genuine anger
Favreau has said this movie was in part inspired by negative reviews of his earlier movies.
Nice Performance by Mr. Faveru😉
It's Molton......OK.....It's F##king Molton....... this scene wants to make you cry......so powerful......you can really see and feel his frustration and anger.... one of the most emotional scenes in the movie.....
Thanks Ben From Canada
"You're not getting to me!" is the only part he probably should have left out, if not the whole thing altogether.
Uncle Cicero before The Bear
I like the subtle nod to "Goodfellas" with the "Keep him there" bit.
black widow and happy sure had a lot of adventures together
It's just so wrong, but as someone who's been in the service industry for my whole life, in private, back of the house, I witnessed our manager do something similar to this. All you ever want to happen is to see something like this, and them sticking up for you, and I had the privilege to see it. Usually, you never do, you simply never really would out of professionalism. I'll tell you about this time, though, and this was my first job, I still can't wrap my head around how it was my first job, and I'm so grateful for it. Not even into the frying pan, just, directly into the fire, got to see the best of the best and learn from them without really grasping how great of an opportunity it was. It was in Minneapolis, I won't say the name of the place, but it was a 3-star joint. It was Valentine's Day, I'll never forget... It was a restaurant/hotel. The system was, just, pure perfection in how it ran. If you stay as a guest, you keep the card at the front desk, naturally. This couple, young, nice gal, fuckin', ugh, fucking douche of a boyfriend, Jesus, I mean... this guy was the epitome of a well-dressed, well-to-do fucking meathead, with a fat fuckin wallet...they had a good table, service was well over and way beyond, I mean it always was, for everyone, no matter when, but this was a two-top, it was Valentine's Day, and it was an anniversary deal. We were overbooked, and entrees were under the heaters, everyone that night ordered 2 of the 3 specials we had out for that occasion, and the desserts were lined up nearby as well. The desserts were all the same as a part of a 3-course meal, the only difference was the appetizers and entrees, which sounded good on paper, but shit got a little behind, it was manageable, though. This table, not the woman but her fucking, jackwagon of a fuckin boyfriend was inconsolable because they, during the height of a rush, received a dessert before the entrees, which is an immediate fix, given how many entrees were lined up in the kitchen, it would just be traded out, no problem. Just in and out, nothing really needed made-to-order, we could just swap right away. All under the heater, sure, but ready to push out on the fly. But no, he decided it was flatly unacceptable. The server who had that section of tables went to the manager to relay the complaint, and I swear to god, I've never since seen something so heroic. The whole night until then was flawless. Stressful, but flawless. The manager looked in her eyes, looked at me, back at her, then at me, my mouth kinda curled, like, yeah, this dude is a dick. He sort of understood my position as this newbie kid, everyone there did, and just sort of accepted it. They shouldn't ever have, but they did. I'll love them for that always. They risked my idiot ass being there, and put up with me. I don't know why, but they did. I didn't quite understand the ropes to the point where I wasn't really afraid to speak my mind when others were, otherwise hesitant about totally, idk, being unfiltered about guests, speaking out loud about it when it called for it, and looking back it makes me think happily that we shared this sort of rare, "uncensored" relationship about opinions and shit, outside the boundaries of courtesy. They should have clamped down on that but they never did, I was like this black sheep of the crew, and I was never reprimanded and the rest of them were like, wtf, how do you get away with this? lol. Idk man, because I could work at a gas station, too, maybe? lol I just sort of picked up on like, they needed one guy to put shit in perspective, to managers, and I never hesitated doing it, and in a strange way, I think that they, upper management that is, wanted that element, I think that's why they even kept me there so long, but of course with enough tact, mind you, but, I grew up as this gutterpunk asshole, and found myself in this awesome fuckin place. And at that time, not recognizing how people like myself, with that attitude never happen upon such a great opportunity, and from not recognizing, never quite knew when to shut the fuck up. Just brazenly saying shit out loud when others wouldn't, but, at the same time, being on the same page. It's hard to describe. He looked at me though, for like a solid 5 seconds, enough for me to telepath to him, like, yes, fuck this guy, he should not be here among human beings trying to have a good night, let alone the rest of us here, on the clock, and I think he heard my thoughts or some shit, because he B-lined to the front desk, asked for the card, and during service, went to the table, and I'll remember vividly, forever, him at the table holding the card between his fingers and frisbeed that card at the guy and said, "I'm sorry we don't meet your standards. We'll get your coats for you. My advice is you never step foot in here again." The guy attempted to negotiate and the manager said, "No, I'm being polite right now. Don't come back. Don't recommend us either. Don't come back, and where ever you go next, treat your server like they're worth a goddamn." Me, and all of us, were fucking stunned. It was loud enough for the whole floor to hear. Other patrons watched and turned to others at their tables, and you could see that they respected that move. It was completely unprofessional, but this man has been in the industry for decades. He stuck up for the staff, and his philosophy was, if you treat the staff like garbage for no real reason, we don't welcome you here as a guest. Period. I know it seems terse and maybe even childish, but if I ever find myself in that area again, and need a job, I'm going back there. He knew that place's reputation, as did everyone else, and simply took no bullshit. It was a quality control thing. I respect the shit out of that move. They meekly left, his girlfriend was totally understanding and sympathetic and apologized profusely while her shitty date turtled up. We all let her know we appreciated her time with us, and said nothing more than that. We refunded them, they left. And everything continued smoothly and we overhead others diners leave talking about what had happened and how sickly sweet it was to see someone in authority saying "fuck you" to those who deserve to hear it when they never do anywhere else. I love that guy forever for that. We all put 110% in that night, and to be the target of humiliation over a simple mistake never permits a patron to loudly complain (maybe I should have said so earlier, I mean, he was loud and obnoxious and unfair about it when it happened, it wasn't a private whisper complaint to the server, it was, "THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, WHAT KIND OF MORON YOU GOT RUNNING THIS PLACE? SHOULD BE A ZOO, THE MONKEYS YOU HAVE HERE!" --verbatim.No shit.) If it wasn't so crowded, if it weren't Valentine's Day, and because the rest of the customers were polite enough and private enough because of it, you knew they would have applauded our manager for what he did. The server, their server, super nice, super sensitive, in a good way, was so upset and embarrassed for this slight mistake and thought she fucked up so royally, was in the kitchen and didn't see or hear the exchange, and after he did, he went to the kitchen, saw her trying not to cry, trying to pull it together, and he took her aside, and he said, "fuck that prick, I know you're on your game, honey", and hugged her. He never even shook hands with people. It was just beautiful to watch. That was the moment when I realized, oh, when we had meetings and I heard this "B.S." about being a family there, that's when I knew they weren't lying. I'll never ever forget that night.
1:14 I love the emphasis on “Fucking”
Gonna show this to my entire IB class wish me luck
I believe he was, in fact, getting to him.
hilarious, love how this dude started the mcu on a hot gamble.
a good chef speaks up for their food. a great chef has their food say every word.
The sad thing is, this critic is his biggest fan and he’s frustrated with how standard his cooking has become. So while cathartic, it ultimately sets in motion getting his groove back.
He's a truly honest critic that loves the subject he criticizes; a rare thing this day and age where so many critics are just shills for whoever pays them.
His honesty is what pushes the chef to break free and do what he loves.
Imagine this scene but with James Gandolfini.🤯
I still walk up to random people and scream "it's fucking molten, asshole!" in their faces lol
He is getting to him. Yet this brilliantly shows the hurt and pain of a vicious, smug critic who knows nothing about compassion or human pain.
anybody who works in the food industry or customer service in general has wanted to do this to at least once to some ungrateful mf they served
This one my favorite scenes of displaying real built frustration and explosion 💥
"You're not getting to me", Dumbledore said, calmly.
I think getting a food truck was the best thing that could have happened to this guy. Clearly he was unhappy with his job, had a controlling boss and just wanted to be creative with his cooking.
I positively loved this movie
After he said, "he thought you were going to close his restaurant down" and then the insult; he should have left it at that, lol he would have been ok. Lol
0:42 Tony looking like "Yo is that Carl"
😂😂
This scene is what REALLY goes on in people’s mind when they’re criticized for something they created.
Don’t let anyone tell you different. 🤣
Be confident in you're creations. Practice makes perfect.
Just because this movie only, Jon Favreau becomes my favorite actor.
I think the best part about this scene shows how twitter users are in real life. On twitter, they're so smug and overly confident talking shit to others with 0 thoughts about repercussions. While if you go face to face with these people in reality, they can't even speak. Lmao
MY SHIT WAS MOLTEN!
The movie truly shows whatever effort you are attempting to make. You'll always get haters. Do not pay attention to criticism. Use criticism as a positive aspect. The majority of the opinion matters. One review won't make any difference.
If most of your clients enjoy your food, you never let yourself down because of backlash. Chef truly highlighted the importance of social media in business. You certainly need creativity as a cook if you do not wanna get surpassed by competitors.
This movie is fantastic It should have won an award
I find it interesting he never brings up the fact that the critic also criticized his weight. That's when he was most unprofessional
so did he get to him?? I wonder lol
Artist should understand that critics don’t care. Artist should do art for people, not for marketing. I know that is hard af and it may not be the best option to get a living out of it, but all the media surrounding the arts it’s just there to get a profit from you, whether it is by praising your work or destroying your work, they don’t care. As an architect, it’s really hard to work for the people, to find clients that are ok with your fees, sometimes you have to work with the popular rich architect studio that only designs for other rich people and gets popularity from big architecture magazines, but working for the people, giving time to a project that won’t get that much money but a lot of recognition from a family, a community, that gives you the best reward. A chef, in my personal opinion and outside the food business, should be happy that people wants his food, enjoys the food, despite what media tells you about that food.
Fuck, I almost forgot to watch this today
And they eventually went into business together 😂
Happy Hogan just became Angry Hogan here.
or, Hulk Hogan
Don’t take it personally Chef. Cicero thinks every dessert is inferior to a chocolate covered banana.
I can see Carmy going off like this in Season 4
This is a very underrated movie…. It was hilarious…. Great movie
Best story about cooking there is. The redemption arc is sublime.
1:13-1:17 this made me laugh so hard😂
1:18 you can see how he was trying so hard to not laugh here.😂😂
The best is the scene immediately after this is he’s talking to a publicist about how to get the viral video of this deleted from the internet.
It makes perfect sense. His outrage and indignation toward this one critic, who apparently comes across smug, elitist, unsympathetic and arrogant frequently is heart rending, but the chef just didn't stop to think of the consequences, and that's even more heart rending.
Watching this movie makes me hungry 😋
Happy easy Happy easy..oh boy
This scene is what made me drop whatever I was doing at work and watch this movie instead of working lol
Before he was Happy, he was needy.
I love how he stands up for the owner of the restaurant even though they argue and disagree a lot
This scene just made me believe food critics are just as legit as fucking journalists. I can never take them seriously.
Well... I want the cake off the check, please.
LOL!!!! 😂
I think John Favreau wrote this scene with the perspective of a director and a movie critic first. That's why it feels so genuine.
Underrated movie. Really enjoyed that one.
One of my all time favourite films. Watch every year
Cheeeese and rices LMAO
Top 3 favorite movies of all time
Amazing acting looked so real
This is one of the best movies I've seen in years....the character development, the casting, the directing. the acting. and the story.....the food looks great...David Choi and Wolfgang Puck both instructed Favreau how to cook.....There's nothing about this movie that is a negative
