    Storyline

    Edit
    Waffle Street's riches-to-rags tale is an adaptation of James Adams' 2010 memoir of the same name (published by Sourced Media Books), which chronicles the financier's foray into the food industry. After being laid off at the hedge fund where he worked, and further jaded by his culpability in the crisis, Adams chose to work at a popular 24-hour diner where he claims "most of his financial knowledge has been gleaned." Offering a fresh take on the fallout of corporate greed, Adams' is a tale of the redemption and unlikely friendship found under the tutelage of Glover's character Edward, the best short-order cook in town. —Autumn McAlpin

    Edit
    • Trivia
      One of the many nicknames Edward (Danny Glover) has for Jim (James Lafferty), is "Jimmy Jam". James Lafferty starred on One Tree Hill (2003), and his character, Nathan, had a son James, who he often referred to as "Jimmy Jam".
    • Goofs
      When the lead character is driving towards the garage, the car is actually turned off. You can clearly see the meters of the mph and rpm standing at zero whilst driving.
    • Quotes

      James Adams: What we do is legal, therefore it is not unethical. If this was unethical, it would be illegal.
