Yes it happens all the time. I'll even go out the next day and eat something I saw in a movie or TV show.

Big Bang Theory. The food ALWAYS looks so good. The fact that they are eating it shows it is actually food and not some food model only made to LOOK good.

That is one of the reasons I try not to watch food-shows, it makes me think
about food, then I get hungry!

THAT movie had me totally drooling. I loved his house as well. Favorite type of food.

This one may sound funny but every time I watch Spongebob Squarepants, I always get hungry for one of those delicious krabby Patties!

Yes and once when I was on a huge diet I picked up a new novel by one of my favorite authors and as it turned out it was about a woman who opened a bakery and her story. Each chapter began with an amazing sounding pastry recipe, and all they talked about was how good all the food was.


It was torture!

That book should've come with a warning label to dieters!

The only time I get hungry from shows is when I'm watching foreign films- especially Korean shows because there is always a scene with food preparation or discussion about food. I wish my family was more food oriented but the heavy food culture died with my grandma. She was the last one to cook authentic meals and unfortunately I was too young to learn from her.

I just watched the first episode of American Diner Revival, and the chef (a woman I really like, but I forget her name) made a recipe for a Greek Hero, which was lamb meatballs, and tzatziki sauce on a hogey roll, and topped with a fresh salad of tomato, cucumber, onion and vinaigrette.
I can hardly think of anything else. I have some ground lamb in the freezer, so I think I'll try to find the exact recipe and make them for dinner.

I haven't had this experience with a movie or TV show, but with a book: Under the Tuscan Sun (1996) by Frances Mayes. It's a memoir, by a lady who bought a ramshackle villa in Tuscany with her partner, and then spent a year renovating it, and she learns to cook local recipes on top of it--recipes that she includes throughout the book, describing the preparation of the food in lavish and fascinating detail. It's really a wonderful, evocative read, especially for foodies.
