There is a super-delicate flavor profile for "The Menu," director Mark Mylod's ("Succession") tasty satiric thriller about an exclusive restaurant, Hawthorne, run by the eccentric Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes). A dozen customers — including foodie Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) and his unimpressed date Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy), critic Lillian (Janet McTeer) and a movie star (John Leguizamo) — pay obscene sums of money to partake in a precious and singular culinary experience.
"Ego is obviously a central thesis of 'The Menu' in terms of it being a corrosive factor in the work of any artist."
