I just saw a most brilliant movie, its Tampopo (All Movie, imdb, nytimes) by Juzo Itami. Damn, it was good. Very Monty Python like, “…and now something completely different…” and has awesome food scenes. Ramen, of course, French, Italian (how to eat spaghetti), DIm Sum on the train (?), Moo Shoo Duck, Zaru Soba, Korean Barbecue, Fried Rice (the last meal that mom cook…), Omelet with rice, every food is in there… and singing homeless gourmet group. Wow, it has to rank among the best top five movie for me. Main story is really straight forward, the sub plot, little side stories are really over the top. I especially love the way “the Master” eats the ramen noodle… He moves the pork to “upper left corner” of the bowl and apologize to pork by saying ‘I’ll see you soon’. Mmmm I want to eat good Ramen Noodle now…
