Overview
In the cramped, cluttered confines of Shopsin’s, a legendary hole-in-the-wall diner in New York’s Greenwich Village, eccentric chef Kenny Shopsin holds court—serving up an absurdly massive menu alongside his razor-sharp wit and unfiltered philosophies on life, food, and human nature. As the family-run institution faces a forced relocation, this intimate documentary captures the controlled chaos of Kenny’s world, where every customer is a character and every meal is a performance. A love letter to stubborn individuality and the art of doing things your own way.

Viewing Notes
Prompted by an earlier tweet today by @Gholson, I queued up I Like Killing Flies(2004) via NWI. What a wonderful, quirky documentary about this little dive Shopsin’s in Greenwich Village. So glad I ate before viewing this because goddamn the dishes presented here are incredible. Fun documentary and definitely another one for my favorite foodie flicks. Highly recommended.
