Interesting Deleted Scenes/Details from The Menu
Lillian wasn't completely exaggerating when she said she put Chef on the map: He had another high end restaurant before Hawthorne, called Tantalus. Got 2 Michelin stars 2 years in, then closed up shop. Isn't heard from again until 3 years later, running a taco truck in Portland. He agreed to the interview only if he could keep his privacy, his own land, and it had to be by the water so he could source his own fish.
It's established the movie star has a peanut allergy during the tour, and this turns out to be setup for the menu's eighth course, where Felicity is ordered to force feed him a dish completely comprised of peanuts so as to kill him through anaphylactic shock.
Anne (wife of man who paid Margot to look like his daughter while jacking him off) actually couldn't eat The Island as is due to a shellfish allergy. Hers was salmon.
The broken emulsion gag escalates to where the servers literally waterboard Lillian with it.
The restaurant has hidden cameras in the dining room, so even if Elsa missed something, it still got caught.
The taco truck Chef was running was, according to him, the happiest he'd ever been, but Margot call him out on it later, asking why he parked his truck at a Food Expo where he KNEW food critics were going to be, if he wanted to be left alone.
Man's Folly was supposed to have more details about a woman chef's actual experience in the kitchen, from harassment to stereotypes.
The women DO get bread with Man's Folly, and it IS as delicious as promised. You can even see Tyler chewing on bread when Chef comes up to confront him afterwards.
Not only did Tyler bring Margot knowing she would die, he sincerely thought Chef was going to spare him. And even when called out on it, he STILL didn't apologize or take it back, because all he cared about was experiencing the menu.
Them all coming to the kitchen to watch Tyler screw himself over wasn't originally in the script. They were just supposed to watch from the dining room.
Margot makes another bid for her life before being ordered to go get the barrel. Which Chef appreciates enough to tell her so.
Margot smiles upon seeing Tyler's hanging.
Lillian realizes she's never going to get to write about this last experience, and THAT ends up being her real just desserts.
Instead of dropping the ashes to set it all on fire, Chef originally drops a match.
We never found out Margot's true fate. The boat literally stopped a half mile away, so she was stuck there.
The last scene is of firefighters combing through the burnt wreckage, and the very last thing we see is the one photo of Chef as a young man, flipping a burger, but happy.

I saw the movie The Menu as intended: eating a buffalo chicken pizza and drinking a beer, to prove I am a woman of the people

Dating Julian Slowik headcanons
Tumblr media
Don,t ask me how having crush on Voldemort is like.
I watched this film and got absouloutly mesmerized.
No matter who you are, an chef, soldier or teacher. No matter if you are into cooking or not. Chef just knows that you are menat to be his and he do not care about differences.
Julian when it comes for love is just like with kitchen. There is thin line between love and obsession. 
At the beginning he will try to get close to you. Julians language of love are acts of service, obviously cooking is main of them so you would often get invited to dinners.
There are two ways it can turn out. If you reciprocate his feelings Julian will be happiest man alive, if you don’t that would only extend time that take him to get you.
Chef is total yandere.
You are something that bring joy to his life, since cooking don’t do it.
And Julian can get very messy when it comes to protect his joy.
He calls you zlatko, with in Slovak mean sweetheart.
With you on his side Julian would never try to do something like "The Menu" project. Maybe he would find another way to cast aside his sadistic urges.

little things in The Menu (2022) that I liked:
Tumblr media
it ends with the sound of Chef Slowik Making The Clap (tm)
chasers rewarding that guy in hen house with an Egg Dish
Margot making The Entrance with the barrel
entire dynamic between Elsa and that one finance bro (who cheated on his gf Amber, that one)
"Can we have bread?" "No" exchange
Erin wiping her lips with the menu from the gift bag :)
sommelier having a laugh when he saw The Owner in angel wings
(also love how he's body language had a little bit of twirl when he was spilling wine during the dessert scene)
"Do you have student loans?" "No" "Then you die"
the reveal of why Chef Slowik invited that Actor dude (lmaooooo)
Lillian (the food critic) asking who wants more wine and all women immediately jumping on that train 'cause things got awkward and they need to change the topic skskhkjl
"I stole money from you" "I know" " I know you know" exchange
The Wife urging Margot to leave with hand gesture

The Menu Julian Slowik x F!Reader thoughts
Tags: mention of food and food play(?), saying spoilers just too be safe
Okay, but
I don't think I could write it, but I imagine a scene or something where Julian wants to do a more...sensual menu. his ingredients include aphrodisiacs and the way they are arranged somehow relate back to some romantic/sensual telling like your first kiss, your first time, the lost love or something of that sort.
I don't know much about food so bear with me here:
One of the dishes somewhere in the middle uses you as the plate. Completely nude save for some pasties and imagine you're this like board/serving tray brought out to the middle. There's foods not necessarily covering you, but framing you and accentuating you. These are examples, but from what we see Julian has a thing for symbolism and storytelling with his food/menus. Strawberry caviar sits in/on your belly button since they represent fertility and sensuality. Some variations of apple slices decorated with gold leafs surround your head like a halo crown; a golden apple was to be given to the fairest of three goddesses as declared by Paris of Troy, thus symbolizing how coveted you are, not just laying with you, but to even eat, no, taste, the food that has graced your form. Morsels of lamb line your sternum, lambs are known to be sacrificial animals and you're being presented as both an offering, but also to which others would sacrifice for as they have sacrificed time/money/ etc. to be here at Julian's restaurant. There also would be swirls, smears, and swipes or what have you of other things painted on you to taste with the food. If you had an overheard view of what you look like, it would look like a classic painting, like you could take a take an overhead photo, frame it, and it would look like a work of art.
And then as the customers eat from you, it also gives into this idea of your fragility and beauty. A snobby customer might say "Ah, because once we have eaten from this plate, it loses its beauty and charm because we have touched it? As if when a woman loses her beauty after so many have touched her?" To which Julian will correct them.
"No. She is not in debt to you for having tasted her, you are so privileged that she has allowed you to taste from her. You are lucky to be in this room with her, to witness beauty. What remains after you eat, after the passing of time, is still beautiful, because it happened and you were lucky enough to be a part of it."
Or something of the sort, anyways-
I'm also imagining that Julian himself would oversee the plating of the -ahem- dish and it would be a very intimate experience for the both of you.

Yet another great level of the menu is the end credits with the cast listed because Chef isn't listed by his full name or anything it's just "Chef Slowik" because his first name is just another thing he's lost to his obsession. But in return for losing his first name, didn't he "make a name for himself"?
That John Leguizamo's character doesn't have a name and is just "Movie Star" is extra levels of delicious especially when taken into consideration with "It's pitiful when an artist loses their purpose"
But also it's kind of amazing to place the audience in the place of the on screen characters by not letting us know the names of the uncredited service workers, the other chefs in the kitchen, and the sommelier (like what are we as an audience supposed to do with this terrible terrible feeling because it's like the movie reached out and was like you are part of the problem and it's hard to look away from, but also kind of an amazing creative choice)

The Menu was positively bizarre and thoroughly enjoyable, a smart and dark satire in a very classic sense.
