The menu

Next, I placed the beef balls onto a cast iron skillet, using a square of parchment paper as a buffer between the spatula to avoid sticking. "A sturdy steel flipper is key for pressing and flipping," Benhase says. To achieve an on-screen-worthy result, I pressed down on the balls so that the patties became very thin. 3. Sprinkle top of each patty with ⅛ teaspoon of the salt and a pinch of the pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the sliced onions on each patty. Cook until bottoms are crisp and deep brown, 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Flip patties; sprinkle each with ⅛ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper, and top with 1 slice of cheese. Cook until bottoms are deep brown and cheese is melted, 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs, salt, pepper, onions and cheese.

Ready for dinner? A couple who travels to an exclusive restaurant on a coastal island get the shock of their lives when they see what's on the menu in this delectably horrifying satire starring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Judith Light, and John Leguizamo. Directed by Mark Mylod; written by Seth Reiss & Will Tracy.

• Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult are starring in the new black comedy horror film, Directed by Mark Mylod, the movie follows a young couple — Margot (Taylor-Joy) and Tyler (Hoult) — as they travel to a remote island to eat at an exclusive restaurant run by celebrity chef Julian Slowik, played by Ralph Fiennes. However, it becomes apparent that all isn’t what it seems as guests begin to turn up dead and other chefs appear to be in some sort of cult. Here’s everything we know about how, when, and where you can watch The Menu: WHERE TO WATCH THE MENU: As of January 2023, there are a few ways to watch The Menu . You can find a showing at your local theater on WHEN WILL THE MENU BE ON STREAMING? The Menu was originally released as a theatrical exclusive, but as of January 3, 2023, is available to stream on services such as WILL THE MENU BE ON HBO MAX? Why yes, it will be. As of January 3, 2023, The Menu is WILL THE MENU BE ON NETFLIX? No, The Menu will not be on Netflix. Although, that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no chance of it coming to the streaming giant in the future. In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait for it to become available on digital platforms.

From the moment that comedy thriller The Menu starts, I knew that, as a food person, I was about to be dragged. Like, hard. Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) scolds his date Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) for smoking a cigarette ahead of dinner, saying it will destroy her palate for the $1,250-per-person meal they’re about to eat. Later, when the first tasting arrives, he slaps her hand away so that his phone’s camera can eat first and then describes its “mouthfeel.” The film is filled with shots that could be straight out of Chef’s Table. Executive chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes) introduces a course by encouraging everyone to not eat, but to taste. You don’t need to be enmeshed in restaurant and food culture to have a good time watching this satire on cooking as theater, which will debut on Friday, November 18. But man, if you are, you will delight in every detail—whether you engage in fine dining culture as a diner or as a restaurateur. Ugh, I also demand that the camera eat first. I do unironically think about “mouthfeel.” Watching The Menu is like seeing a particularly precise post on food culture from The Onion or Reductress that absolutely nails you. The film follows one evening at Hawthorn, an exclusive restaurant on an island in the Pacific Northwest. Each of the 12 diners represents a stereotype that’s common at fine dining restaurants. A trio of finance bros with barely a passing interest in the food itself gets disparagingly described as going for a “power tasting,” i.e. eati...

We’re being bad customers. The Menu screenwriters Will Tracy and Seth Reiss and I are still not ready to order on the server’s second go-round. We’re at New York’s Huertas, a tapas restaurant in the East Village and an apt setting for a conversation about how two comedy writers got so much right about what’s wrong with food culture. The duo’s new film, The Menu—a horror-comedy taking place over the course of a tasting menu directed by Mark Mylod—spends much of its run The Menu follows one dinner at Hawthorn, a highly exclusive restaurant located on a private island and run by the enigmatic chef Julian Slowik, played by Ralph Fiennes. Slowik is one of the world’s most famous chefs, the kind who would say his food is his art. But a career spent satisfying crowds of diners—crowds in constant search of new flavors, new textures, new…newness—has left him embittered. Only a few courses into the night, Slowik reveals his plan to kill everyone at the restaurant at the meal’s end. Trapped on the island with him and his henchmen, the guests have little choice but to eat. It’s no secret that food workers have a unique relationship with their clientele—a dynamic you’ll understand if you’ve worked in hospitality. In my time in service, we’d joke (in great detail) about wanting to murder the rude, entitled members of the country club before putting on our widest smiles to not fuck with our tips. The chef Dominique Crenn, who consulted on the food in the film, empathizes with Slowik in h...

Back in March, shortly before Donald Trump was indicted by the Manhattan district attorney’s office for paying hush money to a porn star on the eve of the 2016 election, a report Melania Trump wanted to “ignore” the whole thing, hoped it would “pass,” but didn’t “sympathize with Donald’s plight.” Now that her spouse has been Sources People that Melania “doesn’t want anything to do with any of it,” and while she wishes “these legal issues would go away,” she is in a been-there-done-that mode about the whole thing. After all, as Peo pl e reports, she has “lived with other public humiliation for many years, including the sex scandals.” And she’s not about to let her husband’s problems become her problems. “Melania…prefers to go about her business,” a person familiar with the matter told the outlet, adding that the former first lady will not be dragged down. “She continues moving ahead,” the person said. And while no one would have expected the famously mum Mel (who declined to appear at both of her husband’s arraignments) to defend him publicly, the reason most recently cited for her current silence is pretty incredible: She apparently knows how bad this case looks for Trump. “Although her husband feels the legal issues are witch hunts, she prefers to stay away from making many comments as some of the recent evidence, especially in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, is quite damaging,” a source told People, adding that the former first lady believes, based on the evidence, that T...

This review was first published in conjunction with The Menu ’s premiere at the 2022 Fantastic Fest. It has been updated for the movie’s HBO Max release. One of the most-discussed movie scenes of 2021 reads like an unplanned prequel to Mark Mylod’s black, bloody comedic thriller The Menu. In Michael Sarnoski’s Pig, chef-turned-backwoods-recluse Rob (Nicolas Cage) gently eviscerates the chef of a ritzy haute cuisine restaurant, who also happens to be one of Rob’s former employees. In Rob’s view, the other chef betrayed himself when he abandoned his dream of owning an intimate, comfortable pub, in favor of serving elaborately deconstructed food to snobs who mostly care about how much it costs. “Every day, you wake up and there’ll be less of you,” Rob tells the chef, who looks devastated — but not like he disagrees. “You live your life for them, and they don’t even see you. You don’t even see yourself.” The Menu feels like the next step in that story, if the hapless high-end chef had decided to turn Rob’s revelation outward against his clientele instead of inward. The Menu mocks the kind of people who would eat at that restaurant Chef Rob despises, with its “emulsified scallops” and “foraged huckleberry foam, bathed in the smoke from Douglas fir cones.” But it also finds a little humanity in them as well. One of the most intriguing things about the movie is the way the filmmakers find room to skewer every target in sight. Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Margot, a last-minute date fo...
