The God of Cookery

The God of Cookery (Chinese: 食神) is a 1996 Hong Kong comedy film which was co-directed by Stephen Chow and Lee Lik-chi.

Ruined, Chow arrives at Temple Street where he orders a bowl of "assorted noodles" from disfigured food cart vendor Turkey, reveals himself to be the fallen "God of Cookery", and asks her for money.

Turkey and her rival street vendor Goosehead are engaged in gang warfare, both trying to monopolise the sale of beef balls and "pissing" shrimp in the area.

One month later, Bull enters the "God of Cookery" competition (a parody of Iron Chef) as the heavy favourite to retain his title.

After the competition, Chow reunites with and celebrates Christmas with his vendor friends on Temple Street, where Goosehead reveals that Turkey had in fact survived the assassination.

In 1998, director and star Stephen Chow planned to remake God of Cookery for English markets with Jim Carrey playing the lead role.
