Checking Out CHEF

starring Jon Favreau, and co-starring Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert Downey, Jr. 

We watched the movie CHEF.   It is about a man who is a chef a chef of a nice restaurant.  It was produced, directed by Jon Favreau and also starred him.  Also it had John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johnasson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert Downey, Jr. 

Jon is a down to earth type of guy with down to earth assistants.  The only thing he wants in life is to create spectacular food to be appreciated.  But if one demands the spotlight  he gets the attention of critics,  Over reacting to a critic's column  was the Chef's downfall.

He also rediscovered other important things that should be in his life, like his son.

He gets a food truck and makes the best of his situation.

You get a good food preparation movie with close-ups of bacon sizzling and popping on the grill and other things being cut and cooked.  You also get a road trip that goes from Miami that focuses on New Orleans and Houston, Texas ;  not only the local food but also the local music. of Miami, New  Orleans and Houston.

It was good and fattening.
