There comes a point when, after all the guests have left, the dishes are stacked and the glasses are drying, all we want to do is collapse and turn on the TV. Whether recharging the introvert battery, nursing consequences or trying to escape from visiting family or the bitter cold, this is a prime time for binge viewing.
Since we are a food-obsessed collective, even when we're not cooking, eating or writing about cooking and eating, we're still loving all the ways we can dive into movies, documentaries, series and shows that cover all the wonderful facets of the way we eat.
This year, there was plenty to watch in real time, like the inescapable ode to restaurant stress "The Bear," or Stanley Tucci's well-dressed adventures through the Italian countryside. But there's also a wealth of old favorites we're excited to revisit, including the perfect Chinese takeout pairing "In Search of General Tso," or scoffing at Julia Roberts as a misguided restaurant critic in "My Best Friend's Wedding."
