It doesn’t take long before it is revealed that the diners are all doomed to die as part of a grand scheme devised and executed by the restaurant’s chefs, led by Slowik.

Taylor-Joy’s Margot makes a way out and ends up in Slowik’s apartment, where she finds newspaper clippings on the wall documenting his rise to become one of the finest and most respected chefs of his generation.

Below is an early clip of Slowik as a young man working at a seemingly classic cheap burger joint.

In a stark contrast to his grumpy demeanor today, Slowik can be seen grinning from ear to ear.

When Margot returns to the restaurant, she manages to escape the grim procedure by asking Slowik to make her a hamburger and fries, which he is very happy to do.

Slowik is visibly moved by the request, apparently reminiscent of the beginning of his career, when cooking actually made him happy.
