With the likes of the mesmerising Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicholas Hoult all dominating the screen during this exclusive big-screen dining experience, it's not hard to see why most missed one of the more subtle details that is present throughout Mark Mylod's The Menu.

The food on show during this horror comedy is arguably as much of a star as the aforementioned acting sensations, it must be said, with everything from a surreal breadless bread plate to the highly personal 'Memory' Taco dish getting a moment to shine on-screen.

But according to the director when talking to Entertainment Weekly, nailing the preparation of said dishes during the flick was just as important to Mylod as the gorgeous shots of the finished courses were.

In order to ensure that precisely the right food prep was being performed at exactly the right moment it should be during the events of the film, only actors who had previously worked in the restaurant industry were cast in the various kitchen background roles.

Said team members were then put through a boot camp by real-life chef John Benhase which focused on making sure absolutely every single element of what was seen going down in the kitchen at any time was completely authentic.

So, be sure to take a closer look at those hardworking background staff members when you decide to sit down to enjoy your next serving from this particular Menu.
