On a scale of 1-10, how pretentious is this?

It's actually pretty pleb. He didn't butter and toast both sides of the bread and he uses cheese slices instead of grated cheese. Only pretentiousness comes from adding oil with buttered bread

>butter and oil
>adds more butter halfway through

Jesus, why don't you just drink fryer grease while you're at it?

didn't know it was from a movie. what movie is it?

>it's not even for himself
>it's for his kid

What a nutritious breakfast.

It's funny that they're trying to show how good a chef he is, but he's really just fucking up something incredibly basic.

Damn it, I forgot:
>2 slices of wonder bread

Also
>drain left over grease into glass and serve on the side

What a crap movie if they took the time to show making a grilled cheese.
This had better be some student art film with a budget less than $50K.

How Yuropoors become obsessed:
1. shitpost about America
2. think about Americans
3. wish to be Americans
4. think about Americans again

that scene was fucking idiotic. the whole movie was pretty shit.

a fucking sandwich truck that becomes a sensation. really?

The movie? Extremely. I had the misfortune of watching it. Fucking no character development, most of the plot is just pointless and immersion cameos for big name actors, and the entire thing just felt like an ad for social media. Avoid this shit movie like the plague.

Did he step on your toes, user?

the guy in that scene, who is the main character, was the director of the first two iron man movies, the producer for all of them, as well as the producer for a few other capeshit movies as well as other high budget movies, so in other words no, it wasn't a student art budget film. in fact it had a budget of 11 million.

What's the movie called?

It's "Chef" and the guy who wrote, directed and starred in it (Jon Favreau) also directed the first two Iron Man movies and produced all of them.

It's a pretty good film and has some insight into chefery.

Chef.

Fuck off, there was literally nothing redeeming or believable about the entire movie. The movie was probably sponsored by Facebook and Twitter, given how every single plot point revolved around a tweet going viral or some shit.

>when it slides off the plate

I dunno. Is that a shun tho? I don't know why, but I fucking hate shuns.

Paying such careful attention to a grilled cheese sandwich. Yes, it is, by definition, pretentious. Also, literally no reason to oil the flat top when you're putting buttered bread on it.

the movie, or the grilled cheese?
either way, a solid 6; not the most complex or structured experience, but it was definitely trying a bit hard to be something more than it is

Great movie

The fat ugly fuck easily banging all these 10/10 chicks really gave me hope

youtube.com/watch?v=Rr8ljRgcJNM

the cutscenes are because the method he used to make it is unfeasible

Is he using butter or mayo?

I've been pondering about trying the mayo meme.

It looks like cheese spread.

they both taste like a grilled cheese except you don't have to contemplate some fat bearded guy from a failed youtube channel talking about it.

i use whatever's closest or there's more of.

Kek

that? mildy pretentious at 6/10 imo

i had a set about 10 years ago when thy were made to a much higher standard, fuck me they're shit now, the got stolen while i was working out at a resort though.

>all that cheese
I'm American but jesus that's excessive.

Tbh though it was a simple and fun movie with food porn. Don't expect anything more from it.

it's fucking disgusting

How brits make a sandwich
1. Toast slice of bread
2. Insert between two slices of bread

Actually I do this sort of
>toast bread
>make turkey stuffing out of toast
>put stuffing on bread with mayonnaise

My wife's son won't eat anything else

I got a cast iron piece that fits over two of my stove's heat elements.

One side is a griddle and the other side has a raised grill pattern.

I'm in love with it.

That's fucking stupid

Be careful with that. He'll end up on some TLC show about his weird addiction to cheesy bread.

Mayo on grilled cheese sucks

Agree.
You faggots talking about it all the time got me to try it, a couple times just to be sure, and guess what? It was exactly what I thought it would be.
You know what mayo actually is, right? Its about 80% vegetable oil emulsified with a small amount of egg, water, and vinegar or lemon. What do you think will happen when that hits a hot pan?
That's right, the emulsion breaks and you get... vegetable oil! With a small amount of water, egg, and vinegar. YAY!
Why would you want an expensive version of vegetable oil instead of much tastier butter? Grilled cheese is meant to have a buttery flavor.
Mayo works, but just because it works doesn't mean you should use it. There is no benefit.

I believe the point is that he's 100% focused on the food task at hand, even though it's something as simple as a grilled cheese.

It's there to show that he's not going to just slap it together, but rather use good ingredients and make an effort.

The fact that he peeks the underside of the bread to ensure it's nice and browned rather than just moving on, is the most telling part.

It's likely that the kid asked for a grilled cheese, and rather than be pretentious and create some elaborate dish, he just gives the kid the comfort food he wants and does his best to make it well.

The first bit is mayonnaise, to add fat and protein for a more hearty crisp, not butter. The last on the outside was butter.

This t b h f a m
Don't know why people get so upset by it on here. I actually enjoyed the scene and the whole movie for that matter.

>Not toasting both side of the bread

Literally inedible shit

>2016
>Frying sandwiches

Its hilarious that Veeky Forums is full of food service workers and they all adore this movie because it give them their five minutes of fame.
This is your life, on a pedestal. Moment of glory.
*golf clap*
Your "art" will be in my toilet a few hours later.

You don't know anything about film, you probably don't even read books.

You forgot the butter. It's not called a butty for nothing.

if that was their goal, they failed. it just looks fake as fuck

7

6/10 pretentious. Movie itself is a 7/10, could have been better, could have been worse, but not unpleasant to watch. I'd kill for a flat top area in a home range like that though.

the cutscenes are there because if you sat through the end credits they actually show him getting taught how to make the grill cheese. so first the guy would do a step, then the actor would repeat after him.

Why?

It's a cast iron pan that can fit multiple cuts of meat. It's just rectangular and bigger. I flip it to use the side I want and I can even take it camping.

>Metal fatigue from uneven heating
>Different cooking surfaces in one
>huge as fuck
I'd rather use two pans

habe you seen chef b0ss?

>pointlessly putting oil on the griddle when there's already butter on the bread = 1 p.
>pointlessly rubbing the bread on the griddle = 1 p.
>typical nu-male with beard and glasses = 2 p.
>tattooed knuckles = 2 p.
>not cutting it in half from corner to corner = 3 p.

I give it 9 pretension points out of 10.

Have you seen Chef?

brits are the americans of europe desu

This.

Hovering over it like your making some daring and intricate creation is especially cringy. Also, that is way too much god damned cheese for two thin slices of bread. Gross.

The problem is that it's for the "normies" who don't cook often. It's like someone who has a masters in computers, engineering and other assorted fields, and they listen to a movie about hackers saying "OMG WE'LL ACTIVATE THE TCP PROTOCOL AND BYPASS THE MEG PIPE FIREWALL".

as usual yuropoors show up to shit up another thread.

>be american
>come home from shipping missiles to isreal
>get attacked by protesters
>get shot in a mass shooting
>nurse slaps me for not using xer preffered pronouns
>can't get obamacare because i spent my data cap on asian cartoons
>lose my job because it got moved to mexico
>get arrested for collecting rainwater
>serve three life sentences for resisting arrest
>cellmate trades my asshole for toilet wine

>It's likely that the kid asked for a grilled cheese, and rather than be pretentious and create some elaborate dish, he just gives the kid the comfort food he wants and does his best to make it well.
That's the subtext I got from the scene. The man is a pro, but still has to feed his son who is at an age where most kids have absolute shit taste. So he's giving the kid what he wants, but as a pro anything he does in the kitchen is going to be done in a professional manner, even though he's in a domestic situation. The point of the scene is the dissonance of seeing someone cooking like a pro in a domestic kitchen, and that dissonance extends to the father and son relationship - dad is so far off in his chef's world that it creates a distance between the two of them. Even at home the guy couldn't stop being a chef and just be a dad.

they're made of cast iron for a reason family

Obsession.

What is that picture attempting to communicate?

I don't speak nigger.

The Obsession is strong in this one.

I did to much ldx in the 60's level.

It fits more meat than two pans. The surfaces are on opposing sides, I experience no issues.

The hugeness is kinda the point. One side of my stove becomes a cast iron griddle. And you see, I can have one part be hotter for the initial searing then move the piece back so it cooks a bit more while I sear a new one. At least for burgers or smaller cuts this is what I've done. I rotate the gridle 180 for the next time I cook and always clean right after just with its heat and water.

It's wonderful. You suck.

Oh okay, sorry for being a completecocksuckingfaggot.

>not completely on board with November 2016 trends

You should deadass kill yourself my guy B

All he did was make a grilled cheese with a bunch of unnecessary hand jive and way more fat than was needed.

OBSSESSED

You people are more inbread than a toast sandwich.

The samefag strong here

Seems like social media and bullshit like that are pretty important when your a chef in a metropolitan area

HaHaa lameazz bichboi niqqa. :o brush yo teef yo mouf smell lyke doodoo lmfao

Nah nigga it's butter. You don't add mayo to a grilled cheese.

This so fucking much. If you don't have an instagram and twitter you aren't reaching any young customers.

Some people use mayo instead of butter for frying grilled cheese. It's not a new thing.

>oil and butter

unncessaru

you realize you can check for samefag right?

of course not, fucking newfaggot

I wonder if Americans eat pain perdu, I eat it since I was young and is really healthy, granny will make 99 years in 2017 and since eating is as her breakfast.

Proof that one grilled cheese sandwich can be a meal.

Shit tier plastic cheese, white bread covered in grease.

It's the plebest sandwich possible.
