    So what I've gathered from this thread is that the film apparently wasn't about cooking people and turning them into burgers? Weird ass marketing then, glad I didn't see it.

      It was about pretentious rich assholes being murdered by the fancy chefs who serve them because the chefs come to realize that the prestige/high pay/etc isn't worth having to deal with the bourgeois. Spoilers for the entire movie.

      In particular, the head chef who has a very prestigious position cooking food for the rich became so alienated that he mass murders the latest group of the ultra-wealthy who patronize his restaurant. He lets the main character live because she isn't ultra-rich, just an escort who was hired to be some rich foodie guy's date. The pivotal scene of the movie is when she asks for just a normal cheeseburger because the main course of "seven types of foam served on a log" wasn't actually food.
