Can’t believe I slept on it thinking it was gonna be some run of the mill “people go to a place and get slowly killed off” type thriller. Highly recommend if you’ve also let it pass by like I have.

It’s also very funny.

    Okay, would you get out alive if you were a guest? I'd fuck up the plan by being vegan, dunno how that would play out. If I ended put in a Tyler's Bullshit scenario I think I'd get a pass pretty quick cause I'd probably make a cheeseburger cause I've made so many of those under immense pressure I'd do so reflexively, if not a pizza.

      Tyler's Bullshit was great because it was such a typical loser white guy dudebro idea of what fancy cooking is

      Leaks, butter and lamb with no seasonings

      I may not be vegan anymore but when I do eat an animal I want it to be seasoned to perfection in such a way that honors its life and what he did was the opposite, just a sad waste of life

        It's also showing he knows food as a guy that eats it, not as someone who has to make it. He had to do what I'm about to go do in a half hour and failed miserably because he can comment on other people's food but when he acrually has to put something together he's lost and throws 2 types of onion in a pan with butter and a chunk of raw lamb.

        What food would you make this hash out of? The seaweed and lack of bread? Make hash FROM SCRATCH and blow their minds. Leftover foods made fresh kick so much ass.

        Edit: love doing a hash with leftovers, but one of my best high effort despite its appearance is High Quality Hash. I go full pro from fresh with potatoes, pickles, all the veggies and really go full-on. It's like a go-to show off dish for me. It's humble but shows you know your shit to do a plate of seemingly random crap specifically

          This is also sorta the cheeseburger aspect of the movie. I've worked in kitchens for my 'career' and I've yet to meet anyone that at the end of the day doesn't just wants to make people a good meal. We're a lot less indifferent to your food than you'd think. Like, the job sucks but I like cooking and would keep cooking under communism. I like feeding people nice food and try to work under the assumption the person I'm making food for, unless otherwise made obvious, is maybe getting their one little bit of pleasure beyond work, sleep and sustenance. This shit is overpriced and I'll be damned if you don't feel as much like you got your money's worth as is in my power.

          Edit " missed a crucial 'doesn't ' I'm the first sentence. We generally do wanna give you the best food possible

      I wouldn't be able to afford a restaurant on a private island in the first place :shrug-outta-hecks:
