I watched this not long ago. At first I was pretty certain it was just based on one joke "chef cooks guests", the classic double-speak jest, "I'd like to have you for dinner" incarnate. This was pretty insightful. I still enjoyed The Menu on the first watch regardless, and this has made me feel somewhat justified in that feeling when others seem to not have liked it as much.
Yea I think the movie is making really perceptive arguments about art consumption in general, not just the class problems of foodie culture. Nick Hoult's fate was so satisfying to me as someone who detests Film Twitter! LOL
