Lexus-Branded L/Studio Platform Hosts Cooking Web Series About Food From Movies

It’s been awhile since we last checked in on L/Studio, the platform that once hosted hit series like Web Therapy and Cop Show, but the Lexus-branded outlet is still chugging along. Now in its eighth year, it continues to distribute new programs, the latest of which is Film to Table, a cooking show that recreates iconic dishes from movies.

Film to Table features host Jason Roberts as its chef de cuisine. In each episode, he will pick out and cook up his favorite movie foods, with special guests stopping by to add both figurative and literal flavor to his dishes. Up first is ramen, with Roberts and guest Haroon Adalat teaming up to analyze the Japanese comedy Tampopo, which is set in a ramen shop and has been called “one of the best food movies of all time.”

If you’ve picked up the buzz Binging with Babish has received of late, you’ll know that Film to Table is not the first cooking show based around movie food. Compared to that series, however, L/Studio’s latest project manages to make itself distinct by weaving in elements of film criticism and marrying them to the recipe construction at the show’s center.

New episodes of Film to Table will arrive each week on L/Studio. In total, the show’s first season will span seven episodes, with Roberts and his guests taking on cuisine from movies like Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, and Eat Pray Love.
