"Food documentaries have become a powerful genre of their own. These food-focused films have changed the way that people think about food and the way that they eat. Meat-eaters embrace veganism after watching Food Inc. and junk food eaters want to try juicing after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. Food documentaries can inspire. They can motivate, inform, educate, stir emotion and, even, of course, make you hungry...very, very hungry. We have selected a few of our favorite food docs that inspire appetites and leave us craving more. Jiro Dreams of Sushi If you ever need a movie to make you ravenously crave simple yet perfect maki this is it. Jiro Dreams of Sushi tells the story of Jiro Ono, considered one of the world&amp;#039;s best sushi chefs, and his three Michelin-starred basement-level, 10-seat restaurant. He has perfected the art of sushi with a 30,000yen (almost $300) chef-picked sushi omakase. The documentary captures Jiro while he is passing his legacy and skills to one of his sons and shows the intense pressure of living up to the standard of such genius. Bright, vibrant close-ups of the freshest simple sushi will have you ordering sushi the second the film ends.
