Movie Feast: In the Mood for Love vs The Menu

Available for over a year

Which feast from a film would you most want to eat? Podcaster Hrishikesh Hirway would like to slurp up the noodles from In the Mood for Love (2000), while podcaster and cookbook author Dan Pashman craves the cheeseburger from The Menu (2022). Their task in today’s episode is to do their best to convince Aminatou Sow that their dish should reign supreme. Which is more compelling, the comfort of the noodles or the creative spark of the cheeseburger? Which food plays a more pivotal role in its respective movie? And perhaps a surprising consideration: Which dish is accompanied by the better music? Aminatou weighs these factors and more when deciding which movie feast she’d order for herself.
