Review

Our David Delegator has a review of a new book that is, in many ways, a food lover’s dream. Called Come In, We're Closed: An Invitation to Staff Meals at the World's Best Restaurants, it takes readers behind the locked doors of some of the world’s finest restaurants to see what the most acclaimed chefs whip up just for the staff meals. Nothing off the menu, this is when the chefs test and create some amazing and unique dishes.

A few weeks ago I compared a film to an impromptu casserole made from available ingredients on your pantry shelf.  So let’s stick with the culinary metaphor once again and whip up a big pot of movie soup.

It’s the time of year when film writers everywhere offer up their “Ten Best” lists. Granted, you’ll not see movies of this quality in one sitting, or even over a couple of months. And, it’s entirely possible you may have missed some of these jewels simply because of time constraints, or maybe you never heard of them before.
