The Bear is coming back! But before FX's hit food show returns, make a reservation with Big Night, Boiling Point, and La Cocina

FX's critically acclaimed The Bear isn't the first onscreen culinary horror show, and we've picked three more to amuse your bouche: Big Night, Boiling Point, and La Cocina

The fourth season of FX’s delicious, harrowing The Bear is around the corner, bringing with it flavors of joyful performances, beautifully delicate writing, and no small soupçon of self-hatred and shame as we are reminded that so much good food comes from a place of perfectionism driven by pain. But The Bear is far from the only thing that’s tried to tell us that, with a great history of movies following the same path. We thought we’d provide a tasting menu, if you like, of three of the best… for your consideration, that is.

This is For Your Consideration, in which we try to come to terms with the inescapable fact that, honestly, there’s too much out there to have time to watch, read, or hear everything — by making some suggestions about things that you might have overlooked but would enjoy, anyway. Think of it
