Hilarious.

I first saw that movie about a month before Boyega got cast in Star Wars. I could not have been happier.

Yes, bruv!

The animators spent time with Thomas Keller at the French Laundry. I imagine he was pretty much of a stickler for detail.

No disrespect, and I appreciate your position, but I think that’s one of the messages of the film, as well - food does not have to be fancy to be appreciated. Remy’s appreciation of simple things like grapes or a mushroom or some cheese speaks volumes.

It’s the details like that that make it not only a great Pixar movie, but a great food movie in turn.

That whole scene at the beginning where all the rats are struggling to get to their boat in the middle of a rainstorm is incredible. There are some downright painterly shots in it from front to back.

That mac and cheese is delicious! Don’t sleep on Stouffer’s french bread pizzas, either. The ‘pepperoni’ on top is a little plastic, but you can always take them off and add your own toppings.

Yeah, they kinda boxed themselves in with Skinner, but I do appreciate how they got out of it in a fairly realistic way and didn’t go too cartoony with it. 

Teamwork making the dream work. The backbone of any successful restaurant. It’s never only about the chef. Ever. Anyone who has ever stepped foot into a professional kitchen knows that.

They already had that scene. It’s the one where all the mascots of the various frozen foods that Chef Skinner was selling on the side were rattling off their spiels.

Or a KFC sadness bowl!

It’s the sweetest and most thoughtful of their films, I think, and certainly the most romantic. Although your choice of WALL-E gives it a run for its money in that last category. The fire extinguisher dance in space ruins me every time. Just the music knocks me on my ass.

I heard Stephen Colbert use the words Obama and Chipotle in a joke together, and he followed it up with ‘A few years ago, I had no idea what those two words meant.’

Okay, Emeril.

Cold leftovers: Yeah, no it isn’t.

My favorite Pixar film. A perfectly balanced examination of both the art and science of cooking (and just being creative) wrapped up in a weird little tale of a boy and his rat. There are so many moments in this that I absolutely adore.

I am the biggest sucker IN THE WORLD for a quality spelling bee documentary. I hope it’s good.

No shit.

First off, full disclosure, I’m not a gun owner myself. I’m a tourist in that regard.
