The best movie you've never seen: Big Night. Fantastic acting all-round.
There's a little of Primo and Secondo (the brothers played by Tony Shaloub and Stanley Tucci in the scene) in me. I've seen first hand in restaurants clients make total asses of themselves. Asking for things that make no sense. The lady in this cut (the Philistine criminal according to Primo) chimes in with a "oh, look it comes with leaves" to describe basil.
As a restaurant owner starving for clients what do you do? Do you give into the ignorant demands - and yes eating risotto AND pasta at the same time is a crime against food - or do you ask them to leave? Clearly, the brothers didn't have a choice but it robs Primo of his artistic soul.
