This is my favorite scene, from my favorite food movie of all time. It's from Big Night, and features Ian Holm, giving a pep talk to Stanley Tucci, owner of a neighboring rival Italian restaurant. If you want to feel the agony and ecstasy of the restaurant business, rent this movie.Holiday get-togethers can spur long, heated debates among family members about which DVD to rent after dinner. Well, here is a suggestion everyone should like. The movie is sweet, sad, hilarious, and shows everything that's great and horrible about the food business. Warning: This clip contains adult language. Enjoy!

Love this movie. My favorite part is when the chef calls the woman a Philistine because she wants a side of spaghetti with her risotto.
No 2 starches in 1 meal for you!
I've just added this to my Netflix Que. I can't believe I've never seen it.
My favorite part was the dinner scene, I've never drooled so much in my life..... oh man that timpano, delicious risotto, awesome!
I remember the Philistine scene--hilarious!
Thanks for the warning about the language. My kids are often in the room.
That timpano was so amazing. We've wanted to make one, but it's a daunting recipe. Have you ever made timpano, Chef?
No I haven't! I am intrigued, but it is intimidating. I did play a timpano in a grammar school recital once though ;)
