Quick Links Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT What happened to Chef Slowik, Tyler, and Margot at the end of The Menu became one of the biggest talking points among movie fans in 2022 — and The Menu ending explained with all the themes laid bare makes it obvious why.

Chef Slowik wanted to make his guests, all used to wealth allowing them to live free from consequence, feel embarrassed and affronted by the time the ending of The Menu — and its fatal final course — rolled around. Slowik's clientele are shallow, self-serving, and disconnected from the authentic human experience — something he seeks to remedy.

Margot reminds Chef Slowik of his roots and the joy of eating a well-prepared meal.

According to Nicholas Hoult, what Slowik whispers was never in the script. The actor explained, "No, no, it wasn't scripted what he whispers in my ear. And Ralph is fantastic... And he would deliver different things... different things in my ear... You don't want to know what he was saying." That perfectly speaks to what makes the whisper so significant.

Why The Other Guests Never Properly Tried To Escape From Chef Slowik One lingering criticism of The Menu ending is that the guests put very little effort into self-preservation. As many viewers have noted, their fate may not have been inevitable if they'd all resisted. This, however, is where The Menu ending has another layer of complexity, and this "critique" is actually just pointing out another strength of the plot.

Why The Hawthorn Staff Go Along With Chef Slowik's Plan In The Menu The Menu ending explained that Chef Slowik's staff went along with his devious plan for one reason only: devotion. This devotion towards The Menu's villain is primarily shown through Elsa and Slowik's sous chef. The sous chef is the first death of the evening, shooting himself in the head when Slowik affirms that his dish is good, but not good enough.

Both The Menu and its real-life inspiration are examinations of exorbitant consumer culture, of foodies, and the superficiality of the wealthy who believe they’re giving to the fine dining experience when they’re really leeching from it.

Will The Menu Get A Sequel? There have not been any plans for The Menu 2, and this isn't a bad thing. While the incredibly positive critical and audience receptions of The Menu and its incredibly complex ending may justify a sequel numerically, a follow-up could diminish the first movie. For all its shocking moments, The Menu is ultimately a movie with a message.
