Can't think of this movie?

What movie has a scene where there is a debate on the difference between flan and Creme Brulee? I believe the scene might be in a diner.

This isn't a movie, but on the most recent Thanksgiving episode of Top Chef, this was discussed...

Could it be the Jack Black/Ben Stiller film Envy? There's a bit towards the end about inventing "Pocket Flan" - flan in a tube.

My Best Friend's Wedding? Julia Roberts says something about her relationship being like a creme brulee.

However, I have a feeling I recently saw a movie that had this debate. Since I haven't seen many movies since having a baby, I would say it came out prior to 2005.

Hmmm...I don't think it was Envy or My Best Friend's Wedding. Let me try to get more info as I'm asking for a friend who has been tortured by this.

I know I've seen it, but can't guess where. Pretty sure it wasn't Envy.

Google turns up Leaving Normal and Real Women Have Curves as movies that have scenes involving flan.

Would it be Melvin Goes to Dinner? The entire movie is set in a diner and I think I remember that part...
