After last year’s series debut of FX’s hit series The Bear, we wrote about 8 restaurant themed movies to watch. That list suggested Big Night (1996), Boiling Point (2021), Burnt (2015), Chef (2014), Dinner Rush (2000), East Side Sushi (2014), The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014), and Mystic Pizza (1988).

Now, a year later, season 2 of The Bear has already come and gone with all 10 episodes which dropped June 22nd on Hulu. This has left us wanting more delicious looking and drama-filled content to consume.
