Chef

A talented but frustrated chef (Jon Favreau) quits his job and winds up getting a food truck that he drives back to LA, serving food all the way. In the process, he gets to know his son and reclaim his enthusiasm.  In one of the most unlikely pairings, his ex-wife is played by Sofia Vergara. His son, played by Emjay Anthony, is a charming kid who really does a great job of interacting with all the adults. It is a tremendously likeable movie.  The food is fantastic and the New Orleans bit really made me homesick.  It should have definitely been promoted more. I'm not sure why it wasn't. Go see it.
