Put on your eatinâ pants! This week weâre cooking up the small scale charmer CHEF from Dir-Actor Jon Favreauâ¦Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) is an acclaimed chef with a family life that seems as decaying as his artistic freedom. Those frustrations âBoilâ over into a raucous viral-videoed public confrontation against an a-hole restaurant critic who panned his cooking, actually, it was a meal that his boss ordered him to make which was firmly against his instics. Now with his career ruined, Carlâs ex-wife offers an unorthodox solution in Miami: refit an old food truck and start cooking on his own terms, and thatâs exactly what Carl does! With his young son, Percy, and old colleague, Martin hitching along, Carl takes a working trip across America in his truck to rediscover his gastronomic passion that has always been a part of his soul. With Percyâs tech savvy and Martinâs enthusiasm, Carl finds that he is creating a traveling sensation and in doing so, discovers he is serving up more than simply food, but also a deeper connection with his life and his family â which are both as equally delicious as the food he serves Released on May 9, 2014, CHEF was generally well received by critics and audience and became a sort of âreturn to basicsâ success for Favreau, who after directing several bit budget films wanted to work within a smaller budget as well as make a movie about cooking â which is also a passion of his.
