Review : 4.5 stars... Jon Favreau shines in this foodie comedy (with outstanding soundtrack)
"Chef" (2014 release; 115 min.) brings the story of Carl Kasper (played by Jon Favreau), a celebrity chef at a place called Gauloises (yes, the French cigarettes!) that is owned by Riva (played by Dustin Hoffman). Carl has just gotten a terrible review from the city's most important food critic (played by Oliver Platt), and unknowingly Carl starts a flame war via Twitter. When Carl is forced by Riva to stick to the ol' menu, he quits/is fired and needs to figure out something else. In a parallel story, we see Carl interacting with his 10 yr. old son Percy (played by newcomer EmJay Anthony), who is unhappy about his parents' divorce and desperately needs Carl's attention. To tell you more would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.
