I recently watched the movie Chef and loved it. This is the first movie I think where the term, “food blogger” has been used. Am I right or am I forgetting another movie? Anyway, in Chef, the food blogger is also a food critic and has a huge following on Twitter. . anyway, I loved the movie so much for so many reasons.
(If you haven’t seen the movie, don’t read the next paragraph. I don’t want to upset anyone by giving away something.)
The cooking scenes. Damn. I want Chef Carl Casper to make me a grilled cheese sandwich. OH MY GAWD. The father/son relationship, the road trip home in the food truck. The stop in New Orleans. The video clip his son makes for him. The relationship he has with his cooking staff.
And most of all, I loved Chef Carl’s passion. His desire to make good food. His desire to be creative, inventive, different and brave.
I might post some weird looking things on my blog. Foods you might never want to eat. . but what I hope I do is bring a little creativity. . a little adventure. . a little Korean-ness.
These are like the BEST deviled eggs I’ve ever had. Ever. I seriously could have eaten 10 of these. So good. Three very unique Korean ingredients bring this recipe to life. So, you’ve got to head on over to The Kitchn for this recipe to find out what they are! And if this is something you’d try or like or think is awesome, please leave me a comment. . either here or at my post on The Kitchn.
Thanks. . I hope you enjoy!
I haven’t watched Chef yet – but I sneaked a read of the paragraph and now I so wanna watch it!!! – Maybe while eating a couple or dozen of these – I love kimchi and love the sound of these eggs – awesome job – so creative and unique!!!
Thanks so much, Shashi! Kimchi lovers will LOVE these deviled eggs! Hope you give these a try!
Girl I am super late in the game and I need to watch Chef! It sounds amazing and if they are in any way, shape or form as awesome as these deviled eggs, it will get four stars from me indeed!
Thanks so much, J!!! Great hanging with you this week!!! 🙂 woot woot!!
I recently listened to an audio book about food bloggers (fiction) and it was really fun! Your deviled eggs sound amazing!
Thanks so much, Tonia!!
Oh, wow, these do look like the best deviled eggs. Glad to hear that you loved the movie, Chef! It is on my must-watch list. Heading over now to check out the recipe!
Thanks so much, Ashley!! and yes, you will love Chef!! Happy Friday!
I need to watch Chef!! These deviled eggs look amazing!!
Thanks Zainab!!! yes, you need to watch Chef!! you will love it!
I love foodie movies so much. I’ll watch them over and over, always scrolling to the scenes where food is featured most prominently. Chef sounds like a fun movie, but I’ll probably wait until it’s on Netflix or something to watch it. I’m always blown away by your Korean fusion recipes, Alice. This one is no exception – it looks dangerously addictive! Heading over to the Kitchn for the recipe!
Thanks so much Nancy!! and you will love Chef!!! My friend got a downloaded version so I was able to watch it at home 😛
very interesting, creative looking deviled eggs 🙂
as for me, I am quite boring I’m afraid; I like the old fashioned mayonnaise/mustard filled ones!! xxx
Well, if you’re ever feeling adventurous and like a little spice, these are fantastic!
These are perhaps the most innovative and elegant deviled eggs! Thank you for the movie tip 🙂
Cheers,
J+C
Thank you so much! I hope you give these a try! Cheers!
Haha, I’m constantly thinking that the things I post are a little weird or maybe just things that appeal to my own taste buds. But I agree with you, we have to stay true to our tastes and try to bring a little creativity and personality to it! I actually love kimchi AND deviled eggs, so I’m sure I would love these!
Awesome, thanks so much Elizabeth!
Very cool. I looove your Korean-ness…K-food FTW!!!
I’ve always wanted to try kimchi! These look fabulous. Chef sounds like a great movie, got to watch it!
Looks like a DVD I will be buying as soon as it comes out!!! And I would eat ANYTHING you’d make, Alice!!! Weird or not, it all looks SO good! Off to read your recipe!
I love Korean food, it is so bold and flavorful! This is such a creative twist on devilled eggs, looks absolutely delicious. And now I really want to watch that movie…thanks for the recommendation 🙂
Thanks so much, Denise! And you will love Chef . . such a great movie!
I really want to watch The Chef too, so glad you enjoyed the movie 🙂 I am a huge fan of kimchi and love these creative deviled eggs! They look awesome and can’t wait to check out the recipe 🙂
Thanks so much, Kelly! 🙂
I need to see this movie! Thanks for the reminder 🙂 And these deviled eggs. I can’t even. They look amazing!!!! Pinning, making, and my wife will be SUPER happy. She’s obsessed with deviled eggs!
Genius idea!!!! Wow! I want those eggs now…everything tastes better with kimchi!
Kimchi deviled eggs?????? I think I just fell in love with deviled eggs ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!! Heading over for the recipe! 😀 ^_^
Wow! Kimchi goes well with so many things. I’ve never had kimchi deviled eggs before, but hey…I love kimchi with fried eggs, so why not in deviled eggs too?! I loved the movie, Chef. There were so many things I was able to relate to. I don’t think I’ve seen enough movies to know. But other than “Julie and Julia” back in the day, I haven’t heard that term used in any movies either. I can imagine as food bloggers (though different niches), we were inspired to reach that level of that food critic/blogger. The movie was inspiring on many levels. Loved it.
I finally saw Chef this past weekend! We both really enjoyed the movie and, you’re right, it wasn’t just the food but Carl’s passion and how his relationship with his son blossomed during their food adventure. Now I have to try your kimchi deviled eggs – my daughter and I love kimchi!
That’s great, Priscilla!! yes, loved the movie! Let me know if you guys end up trying this!
OMG! We are not worthy!!!! This will be a fun appetizer for the upcoming holidays. ?
haha, thank you so much John!!!
Alice, these are awesome! First thing presented and gone in seconds.?
John, wow, I love it!!! thanks for sharing! You made my day! Thank you!!
