Chef<\/b><\/i>\u00a0is a 2014\u00a0road<\/a>\u00a0comedy-drama film<\/a>\u00a0written, produced, and directed by\u00a0Jon Favreau<\/a>, who also stars in the film as a celebrity chef who loses his job at a popular Los Angeles restaurant following a public altercation with a food critic and begins to operate a\u00a0food truck<\/a>\u00a0with his friends and his young son.<\/p>\n

It co-stars\u00a0Sof\u00eda Vergara<\/a>,\u00a0John Leguizamo<\/a>,\u00a0Scarlett Johansson<\/a>,\u00a0Oliver Platt<\/a>,\u00a0Bobby Cannavale<\/a>,\u00a0Amy Sedaris<\/a>,\u00a0Emjay Anthony<\/a>, and\u00a0Dustin Hoffman<\/a>, along with\u00a0Robert Downey Jr.<\/a>\u00a0in a cameo role.<\/p>\n

Favreau wrote the script after directing several big-budget films, wanting to go \u00ab\u00a0back to basics\u00a0\u00bb and to create a film about cooking.<\/sup>Food truck owner and chef\u00a0Roy Choi<\/a>\u00a0served as a co-producer and oversaw the menus and food prepared for the film.\u00a0Principal photography<\/a>\u00a0took place in July 2013 in Los Angeles, Miami, Austin and New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Chef<\/i>\u00a0premiered at\u00a0South by Southwest<\/a>\u00a0on March 7, 2014, and was released theatrically in the United States on May 9, 2014, by\u00a0Open Road Films<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was well received by critics, who praised the direction, music, writing, story, and performances, and grossed $46 million against a production budget of $11 million.<\/p>\n

Miami<\/a>-born Carl Casper is the head chef of Gauloises in\u00a0Brentwood, Los Angeles<\/a>. Although popular with his kitchen staff and hostess Molly, he clashes with the restaurant’s owner, Riva, who wants him to stick to the same menu of classical cuisine rather than innovative dishes.<\/p>\n

Carl also has a strained relationship with his rich ex-wife, Inez, and their tech-savvy preteen son, Percy.<\/p>\n

When Carl has the chance to serve prestigious food critic and blogger Ramsey Michel, Riva demands he prepare old favorites at the last minute rather than the innovative ones he wants; Carl concedes, leading to a scathing review. Carl insults Ramsey on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, not realizing that his reply is public, and gains a large online following. He comes up with a new menu that his staff loves and invites Ramsey to a \u00ab\u00a0rematch\u00a0\u00bb, but quits after confronting Riva, who wants the old menu again.<\/p>\n

At home, Carl prepares the menu he wanted, while his\u00a0sous-chef<\/a>\u00a0Tony serves Ramsey the same dishes from his prior visit. Ramsey tweets negatively about Carl, provoking him into a confrontation at the restaurant. Videos of Carl’s meltdown go\u00a0viral<\/a>, leaving him humiliated and unemployable.<\/p>\n

Carl reluctantly accepts Inez’s invitation to accompany her and Percy to Miami, where he rediscovers his love for\u00a0Cuban cuisine<\/a>. At her encouragement, her ex-husband Marvin offers him a dilapidated\u00a0food truck<\/a>. Carl and Percy bond while restoring the truck and buying groceries, and Carl gives him a\u00a0chef’s knife<\/a>. Martin, Carl’s friend and former line cook, turns down his promotion at Gauloises to join him, whose passion as a chef has been reignited.<\/p>\n

Carl, Martin, and Percy drive the truck across the country to Los Angeles, serving\u00a0Cuban sandwiches<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0yuca<\/a>\u00a0fries. Percy promotes them on\u00a0social media<\/a>, and they find success in\u00a0New Orleans<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Austin<\/a>, where their daily specials include\u00a0po’ boys<\/a>,\u00a0beignets<\/a>\u00a0and barbecued\u00a0brisket<\/a>, made with local ingredients.<\/p>\n

Back in LA, having strengthened his relationship with Percy, Carl accepts his son’s offer to help with the food truck, with Inez also joining them. Ramsey visits the truck to explain his bad review: though an early fan of Carl, he was disappointed by a meal he felt was beneath Carl’s skills. Impressed with the chef’s return to form, Ramsey offers to bankroll a new restaurant where Carl will have full creative control. Six months later, the successful new restaurant is open for Carl and Inez’s remarriage ceremony.<\/p>\n
