I love how the movie literally stops and zooms in on a picture of young chef happy cooking a burger and people still get confused why he let Margo go. Chef said it earlier he didn’t desire to cook for someone in ages. Margo found out what made him once happy and used that to spark that joy in him

[@clonexx]

There’s two reasons he let Margo/Lisa go. The first is that she asked for a Cheeseburger, and in his office were all those pictures of him cooking cheeseburgers and being extremely happy. He even smiled while making the burger, which means she brought him back, for a moment, to when he enjoyed making food for people. The second reason is that she wasn’t wealthy. She wasn’t a part of the upper class wealth that turned him into this emotionless robot who has no joy. There was no reason for her to die. However, if she hadn’t been smart enough to ask for the cheeseburger, he likely would have been content having her die.

[@ranniemanangan5371]

And also since she's from a humble background, she has a different manner of eating... For she wants to be satisfied by being full and doesn't care for the techniques used on the preparation of the food and how it was served, like how she doesn't like the breadless bread dish because there's no bread in it and she sees it as non sense...

[@dlweiss]

Great reaction as always! Also, if you're wondering, the key to the ending is your question about the photo at 25:26 - because the photo shows that the only time the Chef was truly HAPPY was back when he was cooking simple food like burgers. So Margot intentionally asks for a cheeseburger, which gives him a chance to recapture that joy of cooking one last time. And he's so grateful for getting to feel that way again, he agrees to let her leave. :)

[@LegacyofRei]

Which is kinda wholesome

[@RKingis]

And it wasn't just because of the simple food, but he loved serving his community.

[@supercalime]

Margo/Erin lied about her name cause she probably chooses an identity that better fit the experience she provides to her clients. It’s hinted at that when she explains to chef how she took the identity of that old guy’s daughter to satisfy him. With Tyler, she went with a “fancy” name even though it doesn’t fit her. Chef even said she’s not a Margo

[@Hey_Jamie]

Wtf are you talking about?! She didn’t “take the identity of his daughter”. She literally just pretended to be who he told her to be. And she did the same with Tyler. He told her who she was supposed to pretend to be, and that’s what she did. Because she’s an escort. That’s what she was hired to do.

[@daffodil852]

Tyler didn’t want a fancy girl. He wanted a cool girl. He mentioned he had the coolest girl for his date, and how no one wanted to go prom with him. I think Margo is her cool, unaffected persona that Erin has adopted in general.

I ended up going to a event that showed The Menu and we ended up with a three/four course dinner where we had crafted whiskey drinks and the food was inspired by the film. It was such a fun event to attend but there was a lot of salt in all the food so afterwards I needed a lot of water to counter it. They gave us a peach froth with cream in an oyster when we got there with champagne, we then had a popcorn bucket with samphire and seaweed inspired by the course with the rocks and I can’t remember the drink name we had, waiting for us in our seats was six sauces inspired by the sauces course but with nachos. The last one was a burger with an old fashioned. It was such a good event to attend

Speaking of murders on islands, I think you might like the miniseries 'And Then There Were None', definitely the best adaptation of the book by Agatha Christie. Over three episodes 10 strangers are invited to an island by someone they don't know but who claim to know someone they do know. When they get there they are each accused of killing someone. Then one by one, they are all killed off in the manner resembling the poem 'Ten Little Soldier Boys' (as it's now known). But who is actually doing the killings?

[@KynKouture]

I loved The Menu! I had to watch it twice to realize why Margo asked for a cheeseburger. Basically when she was in the chef’s house looking at all those pictures he was only smiling in the news clipping of him with the cheeseburger

[@my_randomology]

The reason the burger plan worked was because Erin gave Slowik the one thing he hadn't had in a long time: happiness in his craft. She remembered the photo in his office where he was genuinely smiling while working at a simple burger place. She made it so the last thing he would ever cook in his life would be the thing that first made him fall in love with cooking. And she was a GOOD customer at the end, something Slowik also mentioned earlier. She played by his rules at the end and gave him a dose of cold water, and when you work in a kitchen, you CANNOT bullshit your way through the day. If something doesn't work, you fix it, and she hit him right where it hurts. And he proved to both her and himself that he really could cook something simple and delicious that was a joy to eat, and Slowik is a professional first and foremost. And when a guest asks for the food to go, you respect that simple request, especially since she was appreciative and polite and admitted he could cook. And yeah, no one else could have pulled it off. Everyone else was a snob and would never have ordered something as low class as just a cheeseburger.

[@theultimateusukfan]

my mom and i saw this movie in the theatres together! i found it a great dark comedy and satire with elements of horror in it. it's a commentary on artists of all kinds. how society takes advantage of them and takes them all for granted, and in the long run, it makes the artist lose their original reason for loving art in the first place. very great movie overall. u pretty much got all of it.

I had nonidea what I was getting into but I'm also a big fan of John Leguizamo and an up and coming fan of Anya so I had to see this. I really did enjoy it and the overall message of the movie. Btw Margo was an escort which explains why she lied about her name and birthplace and why Tyler paid her. She was a last minute add on as the other girl dumped him.. Margo was the only one that was able to outwit Julian, she saw the photos of him as a young chef and saw that he was happy, he spent the whole movie saying negative things, he let her go because she brought him a sense of happiness again that he hadn't felt since he started his career. Also, I recommend Red Dragon also with Ralph. Prequel to Silence of the Lambs... I totally have a photo of Anya eating a cheeseburger 🍔 as my fb cover photo.

You said that Tyler deserved a more painful death, but I think his death was the most brutal of all of the guests'. Not only did his idol completely shatter his dreams and aspirations, he prevented him from participating in the grand finale that he knew was going to happen by ordering him to off himself early on. He lost his chance to be a part of The Menu because of who he was as a person. In its own twisted logic, it can't get worse than that.

[@GreyGunstar]

Everytime I bring this movie up to someone they expect a run of the mill horror movie about cannibals, nobody expects a dark comedy love letter to anyone that works in any kind of customer service. One of the biggest pleasant surprises Ive had in a long time

Honestly, the fact you're open to admitting you don't automatically get all the themes makes you... kinda the ideal customer for the likes of Slowik. Unpretentious, probably happier with comfort food like a burger rather than trying to deconstruct what you consume like it has to be, as Erin put it, 'fancy avant bullshit'. It's a refreshing and honest approach to media and there's nothing wrong with it.

Regarding Tyler (Nicholas Hoult's character) still joining anyways despite the knowledge of everyone dying, I think he was already wanting to die. Remember, he said he broke up with his previous girlfriend, and he hired Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) to come with him not out of malice but because he was desperate to do anything to be there. That would also explain why he unalived himself immediately after Chef whispered to him, it was Chef giving the green light for what Tyler was wanting to do the whole time.

[@Do0msday]

I loved this movie more than I thought I could/would. It's different and every time I thought I'd guess something in particular would happen the movie went another direction.

25:28 That making a simple yet tasty food and made with love and passion is what Slowik wanted but as he became a celebrity cooking expensive food for the elite, his passion vanished as he knew he would never meet their standards because they don't even regard the food. To them this is an event just so they can say they've been there. That's why Margot's cheeseburger order mattered. She was giving him something back and show that she understood what this whole thing was about, like how she immediately saw that he was shitting on them when he served them breadless bread.

Its a phenomenal movie and as much as a movie buff as you are i know how much you’ll appreciate the beautiful cinematography and the soundtrack is amazing as well. Its beautiful, sad, funny, everything you look for in a movie and with Spielberg directing you cant go wrong. Ben Stiller is also in it although hes a more minor character.

Imagine watching this while high. Me to my bf: babe , what in the name of baby Jesus is going on!? 😂😂😂😂 crazy trippy movie and really good.

I always love your reactions. I watched DoctorcanonVO's reaction. She is a trained cook. She talks some about how the dishes have more meaning than most people not familiar with culinary arts miss. It made me appreciate the movie more.

Probably it wasn't just me, but during the movie none of the food of the Menú had any appeal to me, idk something about the way it was presented made me think of something cold and flavourless, on the contrary the cheeseburger made my mouth water. The movie also made me think of something the owner of the restaurant, where I got my first job, said to me "clients are gonna treat you badly because they want their food and they'll treat you badly because you brought it to them, try not to take it to heart"

I love how you edited yourself into the movie. That was hilarious. 4:02

I kinda love the construction of the scene because it makes me think about how we (well me at least)as impoverished people always having to cook every day and in short amount of times ,savoring every meal, meanwhile, characters like this… THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS SCENE MAN who has access to all the money to follow his career, lose his gf, (high key after rewatching a lot of times, I think he 💀 her) go to this event, knowing everyone would 💀 -!? He has been following the chef and his career for years?! He focused so many years on someone else’s career, someone else’s life, but still can’t even cook for himself, much less other people. They ate the scene up. You ate up this reaction. Keep coming with the good stuff💥. 21:50

The Chef in this gives the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld a run for his money.

[@lkf8799]

You are like the first person to look as confused as me when finishing this movie. When describing it to my sister I called it What-the-fuck: The Movie.
