Last night I got to see Jon Favreau’s new movie, “Chef”. It is a movie about a well-known chef who moved to California from Miami and gets fired from his job. He then turns around and opens a food truck, allowing him to run his place his way and it puts him back on top.
I don’t want to go to far in detail into the plot but I must say it is a really good representation of what as chefs we go through with our line of work. The best part of the movie for me was how well Jon Favreau played the character and was really able to sell me on all the emotions and mind-set of how you have to be so you can be a successful head chef. You can see the passion, the dedication, the work ethnic, and the attitude, but at the same time the struggle with having a normal life.
I recommend this movie to anyone who has aspirations, curiosity, or are just looking for a good movie to watch while having a night in.
Respect the Chef 
Couldn’t agree more with this review it was a very accurate depiction of the industry and just an all around feel good movie. Jon Favreau’s performance made you really believe in his character even though he was kind of a douche to his kid in the beginning. Great message about not letting complacency or fear get in the way of what you want to accomplish in life.
Hence the reason he was probably divorced, but this is actually quite common to find in chefs with kids because the career completely envelopes your life and is one of the biggest sacrifices to be able to be successful. It is sad that the kids are the ones who lose out but if you are truly passionate about something you are doing or are interested in you usually become a little short sided to the lives that are revolving around yours.
