Chef




I just watched Chef starring Jon Favreau as an inspired chef whose creativity is strangled by the owner of the restaurant he works in. After losing his job he hits rock bottom. The premise of this movie is brilliant. I especially liked the shots of him cooking, the care he puts into making his food not only shows his love for food but the love for his son who he cooks it for. After discovering social media Jeff challenges a restaurant reviewer after he gives him a 2 star review on his food. Chef Jeff is infuriated and starts a twitter war that ends in his losing his job. He goes to Miami with his son and decides to start a food truck business. From that point on it's an odyssey of discovery, food, and love. Chef Jeff's son twitters all the way and the crowds line up! We watched this movie together as a family with my son who is a culinary student. Needless to say we all truly enjoyed it. My 12 year old daughter said several times, I'm going to bed. She continued to stay up and watch the movie! It's a wonderful family dramedy that I would recommend to anyone. Scraping rock bottom means going back to your roots....even if they are in a rolling truck! FIVE ENTHUSIASTIC STARS....
