Favorite Food-Related Movies and Television Shows

In our household, we love food…and we love watching television and movies, so when you combine the two, it's sure to be a winning combination.

I asked Kitchen Witch One what were here favorite food-related films and shows.  This is what she contributed: 

Here is the porridge connection with favorite movies  - Oliver! (1968).

“Please sir can I have some more.”

That darn gruel again. But the song will stay with me a lifetime "Food, Glorious Food".

Babette’s Feast (1987)

Chocolat  (2000)

Mostly Martha (2001). She would like to emphasize that it's the German version she adores. 

The Taste (2013)

These are some good choices. But I'm going to go a different route. 

Top Chef (2006) or Chopped (2007) or even Chopped Canada (2014) would have to be my favorite cooking competition shows.  I can watch reruns of Chopped repeatedly - I always forget who wins so it's no hardship.  

But my favorite food-related TV show would have to be My Lovely Sam Soon. Touted as the Korean equivalent of Bridget Jones' Diary, it's just amazing. Sam Soon is a pastry chef and there's a restaurant and it's great. Here's a trailer (which really does not do the show justice).  So if you have some hours to kill - watch it on Hulu. MY LOVELY SAM SOON TRAILER!

Food-related movies, besides what has already been listed, would have to be Romantics Anonymous (2010) and Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011). 

Romantics Anonymous is not a perfect movie - there's not enough chocolate-making for my tastes - but it's a light-hearted, quirky little thing and I enjoy it.  Jiro Dreams of Sushi really highlights the craft, in my opinion, and the drive to create the perfect bite. Also Jiro reminds me of a cute little turtle.
