"The Food Wife" is the fifth episode of the twenty-third season of The Simpsons. Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim, Anthony Bourdain, Gordon Ramsay and Mario Batali guest star, as Amuse Bruce, Fois Garth, and themselves, respectively.
Synopsis
Bart and Lisa visit the E4 video game convention, leaving Marge to feel like she's not a cool mom.[1]
Marge takes Bart and Lisa on a weekend excursion, and when an unexpected restaurant detour awakens their taste buds, fellow foodies Amuse Bruce and Fois Garth (guest voices Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim) inspire them to start their own food blog, “The Three Mouthketeers.” The threesome scores an exclusive reservation at Springfield’s premiere modern restaurant, but Marge has an unsettling dream during which Anthony Bourdain, Gordon Ramsay and Mario Batali (guest-voicing as themselves) lead her to reconsider inviting Homer. And later, Marge directs Homer to a different type of cooking lab where he gets into a bind with law enforcement authorities.[2]
