"Cramer, Cramer" (79)

Father and son team up to make French toast

Directed by Robert Benton and starring Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Justin Henry

Ted (Dustin Hoffman) is a successful advertising man who is devoted to his work without any regard for his family. His wife Joanna (Meryl Streep) is fed up with him and leaves the house, and suddenly he is left alone with his 5-year-old son Billy (Justin Henry). Ted, who left the housework and childcare to his wife, is unable to even make breakfast. He takes on the challenge of making French toast.

He cracks an egg with one hand, but the shell remains everywhere. He puts the egg in a coffee cup, but forgets to add milk. The coffee cup is too small, so he has to fold the toast in half to fit it in. Naturally, it gets soggy and the milk spills. In the end, it burns and is ruined. It's the most disgusting-looking French toast in the history of cinema.

However, towards the end of the film, Ted's cooking skills improve rapidly, and his teamwork with Billy also becomes more refined. He carefully cracks the eggs with both hands, making sure that no shells remain. Billy is in charge of mixing the eggs well in a bowl. Ted pours milk into the bowl. While butter is being spread in the frying pan, Billy steadily dips the toast into the bowl. Ted then transfers it to the frying pan. It's brilliant teamwork. The finished dish is never shown for a moment, but the audience can imagine the most delicious-looking French toast just by watching their skill. This is the magic of movies.

Dishes similar to French toast have been made since the time of the Roman Empire. However, the French toast we know today is said to have been created in 1724 by Joseph French, a liquor store owner in New York. Yes, French toast is a representative American dish. There is no more fitting breakfast for telling the story of an American parent and child.
