In the movie “The Gourmet,” Charles Duchemin (Louis de Funès), the editor-in-chief of a gourmet magazine, possesses an extraordinarily acute sense of smell and taste. With a sniff and a taste, he can discern whether the food is as delicious as rumored. To let readers experience truly delicious food, he often disguises himself and infiltrates various restaurants and hotels to taste their offerings. If the food is good, he will strongly recommend it in his magazine; if it’s bad, he will criticize it harshly. As a result, he has become a devil in the eyes of restaurant and hotel owners, yet a god in the hearts of his readers.
