Some of the most famous scenes in film relate to food.

Whether it's the maharaja's banquet in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, or the prison scene in Goodfellas, food played a key role in setting the tone for the scene, and for the entire movie.

In this episode, we discuss some of the most iconic food scenes in movies, and a few may even surprise you.

While Jon Favreau's Chef seems to be our winner when it comes to famous food in film, there are a number of other food scenes in movies we discuss, including Dinner Rush, Pulp Fiction, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, and Christmas Vacation. This list and episode are obviously not exhaustive so we might revisit the topic in the future. We wanted to go over movies that we've actually watched.
