one of the things i wasnt sure on.
was the film's lack of an antagonist done intentionaly? there was no obstacle for this guy to overcome other those those he set up on his own. i thought maybe RDJ was gonna be the guy who gets in his way. but nope, we get a cute little cameo about this dude who used to bang chef's ex wife and is now got some issue with his secretary being pregnant. after that scene he is never heard from again i thought the fact they were showing them raking in money in state to state by the back door which they kept open would be foreshadowing to a theft later on . nope, everyone is honest. i thought the food truck's old mechanics would cause some pivotal breakdowns later in the flick, nope the food truck is a beast that can travel the country with out any problems. even the mean old food critic turned out to be one of his biggest fans. so i have to go with the antagonist being chef himself.

one last thing i wasnt sure on. after chef walks off from his job, he goes out buys a ton of food, comes home and starts cooking. is he cooking to relieve stress? is he cooking to bring his "real menu" to the mean old food critic later on and show him he is still awesome? is he cooking to show his boss dustin hoffman that the new menu he has in mind is the way to go? its nagging at me. dude ran out of his house with a table full of food to yell at the food critic and im like , wait a minute, what was all that delicious food for?

yeah the helen mirren one. i didnt know it was that new. oh well, the waiting begins
Ignorant shit comment. This movie is meat and potatoes and the main characters are authentic where it matters. The weakness of the movie is that it's fairly predictable, but the movie doesn't try to do too much. You are thrown into a genuinely believable human experience and it's resolved in a completely believable way. Good father/son chemistry on screen. Go into the movie expecting a down to earth movie and you're not going to be disappointed. The only way you don't finish this movie is because you were hungry and you paused to go eat.

Chefs really can't be awkward in the kitchen, or they're not chefs for long. They have to be alpha as fuck, hence Ya, pretty much any chick in the restaurant wants to fuck them. For a hostess or server, a head chef is a huge Fucking catch. And I'm talking about a restaurant, not chili's.
Haven't seen the movie but as someone whose whole family has been restaurateurs, will watch if scarlet and Sofia get banged.

Finally got a chance to see this tonight. I thought it was a decent movie. Yes, it was a feel good film, but it was entertaining none the less. That food though... holy shit, I wanted to try everything. I remember when they were filming it and people were tweeting seeing the actual truck. I wonder if they were able to sample the Cuban food, or if that was only extras.
Yum.
