Those frustrations boil over into a raucous viral-videoed public confrontation against a restaurant critic who panned his cooking of food that his boss ordered him to make against his instincts. Now with his career ruined, Carl’s ex-wife offers an unorthodox solution in Miami: refit an old food truck to offer quality cooking on his own terms. Now with his young son, Percy, and old colleague, Martin, helping, Carl takes a working trip across America with that truck to rediscover his gastronomic passion. With Percy’s tech savvy and Martin’s enthusiasm, Carl finds that he is creating a traveling sensation on the way home. In doing so, Carl discovers he is serving up more than simply food, but also a deeper connection with his life and his family that is truly delicious in its own way..
Plot: When Chef Carl Casper suddenly quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after refusing to compromise his creative integrity for its controlling owner, he is left to figure out what’s next. Finding himself in Miami, he teams up with his ex-wife, his friend and his son to launch a food truck. Taking to the road, Chef Carl goes back to his roots to reignite his passion for the kitchen — and zest for life and love.

A Great Father and Son Movie
I guess some people thought this movie was long and boring. Even some said acting was kind of bad. Well I think the total opposite of this. And I cannot see why anyone would think otherwise. This movie as basic as the plots and story lines were, totally kept my interest. I think it’s Jon Favreau’s best movie ever. It’s a masterpiece. This could be a cult classic for Father’s Day, like It’s A Wonderful Life is for Christmas. Of course the general sway of Hollywood shun’s on a great family life. However Jon Fav didn’t give a crap and he decided to celebrate how to celebrate living again. Yeah not much going on but if you don’t feel good after watching this then you have a crusty heart and your problems have deep rooted issues.I thought this was probably one of the better movies I have seen all year. Personally. I believe we really – really need more movies like this to remind us about how precious life really is and how to enjoy special moments just eating a real beignet from New Orlean’s French Quarter, and in search of the perfect Cuban sandwich recipe, and perfecting the ultimate beef brisket slider. I totally was impressed by this movie for it’s full hour and fifty minutes. I loved a great – feel good – movie – – I recommend for any dad and most everyone to see it This will surely restore a sense of how important a support group of family and good friends can be. Great job Jon Favreau! I kind of thought you were like Hollywood stuck up before seeing this movie. Now I know you are a real guy and cool ass family man.
10 If it was a 30 minute father-son, bonding, road trip film …NOT!
I heard the hype, noted the IMDb ultra-high rating and expected a cool, indie, cinema moment. That never happened for me. Some have gone on and on about all the mouth watering ‘foods.’ Actually, aside from a sub-par wannabe gourmet meal served to food critic (Oliver Platt) there were sparse full screen gourmet mouth watering moments. Most of the film dealt with roadie ‘sandwiches.’ Yes, sandwiches… things slapped between two slices of bread and which you will never find in any gourmet restaurant kitchen.A word about Jon Favreau’s acting and writing efforts. First, his lack luster performance was a ‘fail.’ His script eliminates chef’s earlier passions for the craft replacing same with a sad acceptance of the fact this years long ‘gig’ stamps every and any opportunity to hone his craft with new and original creations. This script creates a virtual Chef’s ground hog day where same old same old goes on and on.
Early on Chef has an ugly restaurant table confrontation with food critic Platt. Never mind that, as some other astute reviews noted, his gripe was NOT with Platt whose 2-star review was correct. Chef’s gripe was with his boss Dustin Hoffman who forbid chef from being creative and ordered chef to serve Platt the same old same old dishes he cooked for Platt like ten years ago. Then there were so many other glaring plot holes. Like the ‘free’ truck and the never disclosed source of the thousands needed to re-do the truck and furnish it with new cooking equipment.
How does any renowned chef go from a major restaurant to a food truck? That leads to the dad/son bonding road trip. Son gets burned while illegally working, cooking, has his first ‘beer’ and the two have their moments.
Most all cameos were unnecessary but did show how many ‘friends’ Favreau has in the industry.
What do chef’s live for? To cook! And let their creations touch others. As much as I love BBQ brisket…. no one has mentioned this plot hole. Chef stops at a famed Texas BBQ where the friend/owner provides him with four or so whole 13 hours smoked/cooked briskets which chef then sells off his truck. Has any restaurant chef with an ounce of pride ever out sourced his main entrée i.e. filet mignon to Ruth Chis’s steak house? And here was a signature dish that ‘another’ BBQ chef has spent 13 hours cooking to perfection.
Another plot hole no one has mentioned. Chef’s Florida truck has a cool painted exterior with huge lettering that says EL JEFE CUBANOS. OK it’s a great hit in Miami but why exactly does the truck attract huge crowds outside of Little Havana? Chef declares his son to be a gourmet chef junior…after teaching him to brush butter on the sandwiches and crisp them on a grill. But then again there was little else to do on a sandwich/grill truck.
The finale was unreal. Food critic Platte chomps down one sandwich and declares Chef to be at the top of his gourmet chef game at which point he says, paraphrasing…. fantastic sandwich…how about I spend half a million and set you up in a restaurant? Remember, its been like ten years since Platt tasted any gourmet meal cooked by Chef.
As a 30 minute road trip bonding movie…fine. As any sort of realistic film about the world or gourmet kitchens and cooking I found it to be a ‘fail.’
