The Hundred-Foot Journey is anything but shy on the subject of flavor. The film's star, Manish Dayal, talks about his upbringing in two cultures and helps answer what makes a "food film" worth watching.

The Warner Archive Collection: whether you're watching DVDs and Blu-rays, or live in a streaming-only household, there's something new from them each week, like White Comanche (1968), where William Shatner plays the dual role of half-Comanche twins.

The Hundred-Foot Journey (IMDb) is designed for a broad audience, but that doesn't mean it isn't a meal worth having had. Avoid trailers, they make it look awful (like many trailers do to movies).
Chef (IMDb) is one of my favorite movies of last year, and I've seen it four times. Of course, I grew up cooking Cuban food with my dad, so consider my bias.
The Cuban Sandwich Café in Austin doesn't have a fancy name, but it's run by real Cubans and the food is amazing.
