I just wanted to surface a documentary that I saw a few years ago but that I still fondly think about sometimes. It's called I Like Killing Flies and it's a sort of food-based and character-based doc about this eccentric cook in New York who owns a small restaurant. He's a unique and super entertaining guy in himself, and the story wrapped around it about his struggles to adjust to a rapidly changing city is engrossing, as well.

One of my favorite things about his restaurant is that he's gradually, over the years, amassed dozens of homemade dishes and just keeps adding them to the menu so that the printed menu is just an impossible mass of text. It looks like what a serial killer chef's diary would look like and it owns.

Yeah that's a great doc that sadly left Netflix many years ago and hasn't been back since then. Kenny Shopsin is a very interesting character. Check out his book if you liked the movie, it has a lot more of his wisdom and learnings (and some super unhealthy but awesome recipes): https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Me-Philosophy-Kenny-Shopsin/dp/0307264939

That's awesome, I had no idea he had a book. Good info, thanks!
