I like chopsticks because it means I don't have to listen to tony soprano breathing hard from the effort of insanely loud knife and fork sounds.

My Hollywood food complaint is when they use full plates of food as a prop but the plates are still full at the end of the scene.

Here if you order a succulent Chinese meal it will come in a black container with a clear plastic lid.. rice on one side and the protein or whatever on the other.

If you order a pint or quart of the protein OR rice/noodle, it comes in the"traditional" white box with dragons oh the side

Those black takeout containers aren�t even recyclable in most areas even though they have the little symbol on em. Basically fucks up the whole sorting system and they have to dump the whole batch in the trash.

Pretty much all takeout (other than pizza obviously) comes in boring polystyrene foam boxes like this

1) Good for filming

2) Clockwork Oranges actors and carbs. Can't have our actors gaining weight so making them associate carbs with doing multiple takes eating food spoiled by hot lights is a good way to ensure they have a pavlovian response.

2. They eat straight from the carton
3. They always use chopsticks no matter what the background of the character

Yes it makes sense that a well-educated worldly person would know how to use chopsticks but I think they would take the lo mein out and put it on a plate. A blue collar person it would make sense for them to be a slob and eat from the carton but I think they would use plastic forks to eat their food. And why does nobody ever seem to get tacos, or burgers or indian food or pizza any other kind of takeout? I love chinese takeout too but I don't have it for every other meal and I definitely have pizza and fast food more often than Chinese food. But anytime anyone has a casual work meeting or they're talking on the phone or eating while watching TV it's always lo mein straight from the carton with chopsticks.

chinese food fuckin whips rear end, looks good and cool, amkes you look cool when you eat it, tastes good, and is good. hope this answers your goddamn question op

Mastication is disgusting and, much like tampon advertisements, it should not be shown on TV.

Also any commercial in which people are happier or more successful than me.

The real pros just scarf down down the food right out of a bucket or kettle.

If you can't get a good take in the time it takes to devour the food, then that's the production unit's problem.

The most disgusting thing is it doesn't even appear he buttered the bread. God drat.

And yes salad-pro-acting-lady was Dexter.
