    Storyline

    Edit
    Jacky Bonnot is 32 years old and a lover of haute cuisine. He is undeniably talented and he dreams of success managing a great restaurant, but he and his wife's financial situation obliges him to accept odd jobs that he is not passionate about and thus, never able to keep. One day he runs into his idol, Alexandre Lagarde, a famous multi-star chef whose comfortable situation is threatened by the holding group that owns his restaurants.

    Mediocre but pleasant
    It is a story about events related to a chef, his work, his kitchen and a young associate. There are the usual sorts of back stories, but nothing elaborate.

    In fact, "nothing elaborate" is probably a good way to describe this movie.

    There are few aspects that had me actually laughing - mostly the scene with the 'Japanese' customers. The rest raised a few smiles along the way. It was a pleasant passing of time.

    The best part of the movie was the appearance of an actress named Rebecca Miquel as Carole. Stunning.

    If you want to laugh at events in the kitchen you would be much better off watch the TV series Whites.
