A 100-minute Michelin commercial

This movie makes me uncomfortable to watch.
First of all, the rhythm is too fast, which makes me feel tired.
Secondly, the male lead is too scumbag. The male protagonist did a lot of stupid things three years ago, owed a debt, and the world evaporated, so Luke had to close the restaurant and also made Luke's daughter's belly bigger. Now that he wants to make a comeback, he still has the face to ask for help from others, and he is dragged like an uncle! The amazing thing is that in this movie, except for the black brother, everyone is the Virgin! Everyone is helping the hero! The male protagonist has a bad personality, demanding perfection, yelling when he is anxious, throwing tableware, the kitchen has become a high-pressure battlefield, and he is not friendly to the female protagonist, and he does not even approve a day off. The movie is also whitewashed for the male protagonist! No, even this can't change the fact that the hero is a scumbag.
And, seriously, Michelin? The goal of the male protagonist alone brought this movie down a notch.

    This shows the popularization of low-temperature cooking. . .

    Very scumbag character and plot, purely depends on Cooper and Bruch.

Burnt quotes

  • Tony: Well, if you go, you should take someone with you. Someone to stop you from getting into a fight with him.

    Adam Jones: Oh, you mean like you?

    Tony: No.

    Adam Jones: Your therapist's got a big mouth.

    Tony: Nothing you didn't know. You said in your restaurant everything was possible, but, um, I know not everything is possible. Besides, you're not as pretty as you once were.

    Adam Jones: Hey, Tony. Uh, you hungry? Can I... can I make you breakfast or something?

    Tony: You mean, cook me breakfast instead of falling in love with me?

    Adam Jones: Yeah.

    Tony: No. Thank you. I already ate. But I appreciate the thought. Take someone nice.

  • Adam Jones: [Eating lunch at a Burger King in London] What you should have said is that the problem with this place is it's too consistent. And consistency is death.

    Helene: Consistency is what every great chef strives for.

    Adam Jones: No, a chef should strive to be consistent in experience, but not consistent in taste. It's like sex. It's like, you're always headed to the same place, but you got to find new and dangerous way of getting there.
