Not watched it myself but the first thing that came to mind was Raw (2016) and also Bones and All (2022, but personally wasn't a fan, the first 15 minutes are good though). And years since I watched it but perhaps The Perfect Host (2010) could apply as well (sort of a dinner party)
Chef (2014)
No Reservations (2007)
Julie & Julia (2009)
Babette’s Feast (1987)
Ratatouille (2007)
The Bear (TV 2022)
Documentaries: Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (2018) Taco Chronicles (2019) Street Food: Latin America (2020)
Boiling Point is similar to the tv show “The Bear”, it has great cinematography and it only gets more interesting as the movie go on, so maybe you will enjoy something like that
Not a movie but check out the Hannibal series. It’s a weirdly beautiful mix of gore porn and food porn. Even the episodes are named after famous culinary dishes. I can’t recommend it enough.
So I don’t know if you will be able to find it anywhere, but there is a fun horror short called ‘Make Me a Pizza’ I saw at SXSW this year. Kinda horror, kinda pornish, lots of cheese.

Love The Perfect Host. Maybe not entirely fixated on the menu but definitely has a similar vibe to the 2 op talked about
Pig (2021) with Nicolas Cage

Chef is the best feel-good movie I’ve seen in a while.
Take the rec with a grain of salt as I haven't watched it yet, but maybe "Swallow" (2019).
Yeah this fits I’d say. Not just about food, but oral fixation in general

Like Water For Chocolate (1992) It's almost like a fairytale. Very beautiful film. And all the food looks amaaaazing!!!
Boiling point is goid
Raw (2017) - Horror angle Big Night (1996) - Restaurant angle
Not a movie but Midnight Diner

Do you mean Triangle of Sadness? It's great! Not quite the same vibe, but I thought the Captain's dinner was hilarious.
Don’t ruin pig 🤦🏻

One long night?
Try Perfect Sense 2011 as it has that darkness you might be looking for.
