Celebrate Thanksgiving with Eight Memorable Food Scenes in Movies

Thanksgiving is here, and for many Americans, this holiday is all about family, football, and food. (I’d guess that a majority of the GeekTyrant readership would trade a football game for a movie, but the other two aspects probably hold true.) So while you’re hanging out with friends and family and waiting to fill your plate for the second, third, or fourth time today, check out this quick list of some of the best food-related movie scenes from the past fifteen years. I’ll save you some time, too — you’re not going to find any quips or witty reasoning behind each of these choices. Gimme a break, it’s Thanksgiving. This is not the meatiest article you’ll ever read — pun very obviously intended — but at the very least, it should leave you feeling hungry (or, in the case of Wedding Crashers, with a clear idea of what not to do with your significant other during a family meal).
