Chef

A tasty treat from Jon Favreau, in a return to his Swingers writing roots.  He basically invented Vince Vaughn, so this is Jon playing Vince.   Lots of dialogue.

Favreau plays @chefcarlcasper, a celebrity chef in L.A.  When he gets a bad review after being reigned in his overbearing owner, he has a epic meltdown, quits and is at loose ends.  With the help of his supportive ex-wife Sofia Vergara (who've thought?), they head as a "family" to Miami to discover his roots.

When there, he obtains a food truck and seeks to patch up the truck and his career.  His good buddy John Lezguiamo and his 10 year old son then get the band back together and they head out.

My favorite parts were the road trip to two of my favorite food destinations, New Orleans and Austin.  As well as the character of @Twitter.  It's about time we had a Twitter movie.
