Jon Favreau goes back to his indie roots with Chef. Let me put it this way, if Emril and Paula Deen had a baby they would conceive chef Carl Casper (Favreau), a chef from LA who wants to explore his creativity in the kitchen. His boss (Dustin Hoffman) wants him to stick to what works at the restaurant because a very famous food blogger (Oliver Platt) has been invited to write about Chefs menu; unfortunately the critic rips apart Casper’s menu, calling it safe and boring.
