Finally getting an #HATM brand bourbon?

Share a GIF from a WESTERN you love!

LOL.

"Bitches leave" said in the most nonchalant manner.

There is an idea that capitalism won in Europe on its virtues alone that belies the soft power exerted by American media (especially Disney) as propaganda.

I could make the case that our present focus on STEM is also a direct outgrowth of Disney (Man in Space / Our Friend the Atom) as well.

The thing is it is also trained on everything else, too. Datasets aren't segregated by category.

You're reading the output of a machine that is trying to find the most likely word to appear after the next so you ask about swimming and 'swell' will include romance, 'tide' will include pods, etc etc.

I feel that - Sunday is going to be my only day off for the next six weeks, but I’ll keep the posts coming, if jus to give you a bit of balance (except next week - had a baby shower to attend).

That's a good thought - Us as well, with the class commentary and questions of belonging. #TheMenu #HATM

TYLER'S BULLSHIT undercooked lamb, inedible shallot-leek butter sauce; utter lack of cohesion

SUPPLEMENTAL COURSE: A CHEESEBURGER just a well-made cheeseburger

S'MORE marshmallow, chocolate, graham cracker, customers, staff, restaurant

#TheMenu #HATM

PALATE CLEANSER wild bergamot and clover tea

MAN'S FOLLY dungeness crab, fermented yogurt whey, dried sea lettuce, umeboshi, kelp

PASSARD EGG (a special bite for the last guest to be caught) egg, crème fraîche, and maple

#TheMenu #HATM

BREADLESS BREAD PLATE no bread, savoury accompaniments

MEMORY house-smoked Bresse chicken thigh al pastor, tortillas made with heirloom masa, green salsa cubes

THE MESS pressure cooked vegetables, roasted fillet, potato confit, beef jus, bone marrow

The courses from tonight's dinner:

CHEF'S WELCOME raw local oyster in a mignonette emulsion, with lemon caviar and an oyster leaf

AMUSE BOUCHE compressed and pickled cucumber melon, milk snow, charred lace

THE ISLAND raw diver scallop, pickled local seaweeds and algae

A PhD is very much learning how to learn - I'm a lot better at reading a book now, and at formulating ideas into more logical structures, and speaking the overall lingo, even if I have to go back and an relearn how Marxism works sometimes. #TheMenu #HATM

The theme of service work comes full circle here - both Slowik and Margot have trained and practiced to give their customers exactly what they want, to anticipate their needs, but here Margot is giving him what he has been seeking. #TheMenu #HATM

John Leguizamo ordered everyone Five Guys after shooting the cheeseburger scene, because...man, who doesn't love a good cheeseburger? #TheMenu #HATM

All of the food throughout the film is just props, totally inedible despite its aesthetic experience...except for the cheeseburger, which is not a prop. #TheMenu #HATM

"Not some fancy deconstructed avant bullshit. A real cheeseburger." #TheMenu #HATM

That's just the power of the words of Dr. King, apparently. #TheMenu #HATM

Notice that Slowik (nor anyone else) doesn't ask where Elsa is - she is below consideration, despite the attention to detail, or perhaps was part of the very elaborate plan. #TheMenu #HATM

Daniel Radcliffe was in mind for the Leguziamo role, and would have played himself - the film that ruined Solvik's day was going to be the very real Victor Frankenstein instead, which was a good way to ruin a Sunday (also the first time Charles Dance appeared as Baron Frankenstein). #TheMenu #HATM

Tyler being told exactly what will happen and still going through with it captures a certain elite imagination of invulnerability - consequences are for the other, lesser people, and this will be a unique experience - but then he is utterly broken when that myth is punctured. #TheMenu #HATM

I think Andre's whole "that time I got buried in the coffin in some weird avant garde performance thing" anecdote would not be out of place here. #TheMenu #HATM

The Menu restaurant

Parasite House

While the script existed for this existed for a few years beforehand, the production design of the restaurant was heavily influenced by 2019's Parasite. #TheMenu #HATM

"He kept you open during COVID!" This film was shot in September 2021, under strict COVID protocols, especially considering the tight quarters and single location. #TheMenu #HATM

John Leguizamo was in the Assault on Precinct 13 remake, where an ill-advised escape plan lead to his death. #TheMenu #HATM

Pay attention to the conversations; the Seven Deadly sins form the structure of this dinner, with each pair reflecting a different sin...with Margot as a wild card. #TheMenu #HATM

This season of The Bear has really gotten out of hand. #TheMenu #HATM

Slowik's statement "you shouldn't be here tonight" is a great delivery - a mix of sadness bordering on regret but also annoyance at the element he can't control for - a very layered performance that plays off Margot wonderfully. #TheMenu #HATM
