I'm a foodie. A foodie-lifer, in fact. My whole life has revolved around food. My mother was French. My father, a restaurateur. So, I was really interested in this film.

Chef had great potential. There are some poignant scenes, for sure. It's hard to make a film about chefs, I think, without there being a subtext for enhanced storytelling. The subtext here is the genesis of food trucks and how social media made them what they are in culture. Then, eventually, back to bricks and mortar.

I don't know how much Twitter invested or paid for this film. But, I'm willing to bet a lot since it's as much about them as it is about food.

If you're interested in chefs, a good book about chefs, I think, anyway, is "Kitchen Confidential" - raw and honest.

Cheers and tables!
