At the Movies

Tanner kicks things off by sharing the relief of passing the Level 1 Sommelier exam, and why the experience of taking the test was harder than the questions themselves. From there, the conversation heads to the movies as acclaimed film critic Richard Crouse joins the show to break down the best films about restaurants and food culture. Tanner weighs in on how accurate those portrayals really are—from kitchens and service to the realities of restaurant life.

The episode wraps with a Fantasy Feast, where Tanner and Jerry build the ultimate menu made entirely of famous fictional foods, from Butterbeer and Krabby Patties to Scooby Snacks—proving that even imaginary dishes deserve serious consideration.
