Cuban cooking at its best - Chef (2014)


You want to see Jon Favreau at his best as an actor?  Try catching him here in Chef.  Who knew that the director and actor can pull off being a great chef on screen?  Well, he is one here in Chef.  He is also the co-producer, director and lead actor in the film. Talk about wearing different hats for this film.

Touted as his "back to basic" film after doing big budget ones, this one isn't a push over movie if you ask us.  Look at his supporting cast, Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johanssen, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman and even Robert Downey Jr. doing a cameo role.

The story revolves around a great chef who does great food only to be struck down by a food critic not to his fault though.  You will see why in the film as he was engulfed in the politics of the fine dining industry.

Seemed to lose everything, he tries to go basic when he wants to make a comeback with a food truck.  He went back to his cuban roots and dishes out some cubano food, I mean really cubano food.  With the help of his son, who's great with twitter, he became famous once again.

A great film about a famous chef, who went back up in the limelight, got grips with his emotions, fixes his relationship with his son in process.  We love how Jon Favreau dishes out those cubano food with gusto making the film great to watch, add up the lively cubano music of latin jazz, new Orleans Jazz and blues.  Mixing food, acting and music, wow this is something not you see in every film nowadays.
