15 of the Best Foodie Movies and TV Shows That Aren't 'The Bear'

There are films and TV series that make cooking (and eating) feel like joyous, unifying activities that bring families and cultures together.

The following 15 movies and series excel at exploring the culture and business of cooking, and occasionally offer up some absolutely mouthwatering food porn.
