The Menu And The Cheeseburger Scene

By Cynthia Sax on June 15, 2024

Spoiler Alert – This post will talk about The Menu and WILL contain spoilers. If you haven’t yet watched this horror film, you might wish to skip this post.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched The Menu over a year ago.

We enjoyed this movie. Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy were brilliant in it. It was thought provoking.

But I thought it would soon fade in significance.

It hasn’t faded.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I often quip “Yes, chef” when helping each other in the kitchen.

And the cheeseburger scene. Stars. The cheeseburger scene.

I’ll remember that juicy cheeseburger and crave one of those for myself.

I’ll also remember the joy in Chef Slowik’s eyes, the small hint of a smile on his face, when he presents that cheeseburger. And that gives ME joy.

My goal, always, is to write a scene like that, a scene that will stay with the reader for a long, long time.

Drift Would

A cyborg and a spy fly into danger.

***

Drift is one of the best pilots in existence, and he has been assigned a perilous mission.

The G Model cyborg must fly to a distant planet, locate the sector-destroying superweapon the enemy is projected to be developing there, and obliterate that threat to the universe.

When Drift arrives at his destination and meets with an informant, he’s distracted by a mysterious human female seated in the shadows. She’s Drift’s genetic match, and she is the one being he’s destined to care for, claim, and protect.

She’s also a liar and a thief. And she might be working with the enemy.

Trusting her could kill him and everyone he cares about.

Liar. Thief. Seductress. Saboteur. Roshini has been called all of those things. And she has earned each label. She’s done some terrible things to safeguard the beings she loves.

A gray-eyed cyborg warrior with nimble hands and a shared need for speed won’t stop her high-risk activities.

She’ll sacrifice everything, including her lifespan, to complete her self-appointed top-secret assignment.
