Food Wars
Remember that scene in When Harry Met Sally where Meg Ryan’s characterfaked a very vocal orgasm inside of a crowded restaurant? The characters in Food Wars ain’t faking it. Their dishes are just that good.
Food Wars follows Souma Yukihira, a young sous chef as he and his classmates at Tootsuki Culinary Academy battle in what can best be described as a culinary tournament arc to become the school’s top chef.
Alongside the practical purposes of the show’s how-to cooking technique explainers, the show isn’t afraid to pull a Meg Ryan to showcase just how delectable their dishes are. This often means characters are practically melting into a puddle after taking a bite of their opponent’s scrumptious food.
Food Wars is streaming on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, HiDive, and Crunchyroll
