Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Régis Wargnier spent months convincing actual Michelin-starred chefs to consult, then had to reshoot several kitchen scenes when real service proved too chaotic to fake.
The Taiwan gastronomic congress is based on the real annual Taichung International Gourmet Festival, though the film fictionalizes its most elite invitation-only tier.
