Food Movies We Love: The God of Cookery

After hearing from all our readers who love Big Night,  Mystic Pizza, and  Who Is  Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?, it's time a little flavor from Hong Kong.

Equal parts Iron Chef and Enter the Dragon, The God of Cookery (the movie's real -- i.e. Cantonese -- title is Sik San) is about a top-dog chef who is revealed as nothing more than a sham by one of his rivals.

Taking a page right out of Rocky III, the God of Cookery -- played by famous Hong Kong actor Stephen Chow -- trains harder than ever and tries to make his comeback in a culinary battle royale.

Comedy, cooking, and kung fu -- what more do you need?
