A Movie Review: Chef

Chef. Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) was once one of the "It" chefs in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, he works for a restaurant boss who likes to play a little conservative and isn't big on changing the menu.  A local critic is coming in for dinner and so Carl wants to change up the menu.  His boss (Dustin Hoffman) isn't having this change and demands that Carl keep to the menu.  The local critic writes up a very negative review.  One thing leads to another and Carl leaves his job.  He makes his comeback via a food truck.

Watching this movie, I couldn't help but wish I had the following in regards to food:

a.  the ability to understand how to mix spices.
b.  the time to properly prepare food.
c.  the time to take a few food classes.
d.  a much bigger kitchen.

This movie provides a marvelous landscape over a niche scene.  Favreau also brings along a couple of his Avengers for the ride in Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr.
