Theater Whore: Chef


Chef 8/10

Mala and I went to see this movie Chef that has managed to sip right past me when it came out a few months ago. The only thing I knew about this movie was that Jon Favreau was in it and there was food. So I made sure that we got full at the Arclight Cafe before seeing the movie (I'll be writing about that on my food blog soon). So we headed inside and checked out what turned out to be a really good film.


Favreau wrote, directed, and starred in this as Carl Casper, a professional chef that is stuck in a rut. He wants to be more creative with what he is making but the guy who runs the restaurant, Riva played by Dustin Hoffman, reminds him whose place it is and to calm his shit and just make what he's told. Molly played by Scarlett Johansson who is the hostess and everyone is getting excited because a food critic is coming. His sous chef Bobby Cannavale and line cook John Leguizamo are incredible in this and I laughed every time they were on screen.
