Chef

Chef

When Karl Kasper thought that he would finally be able to show himself one hundred percent in one of the prestigious restaurants of Los Angeles, his creative potential began to be cut at the root. An excellent chef, he became driven by the owner of the establishment, who did not like innovations, even despite all their charm. This led to the creation of a kind of chain, at the beginning of which there was an angry comment on a bad review of a restaurant critic. Kasper's wife persuades him to move to his native Miami, so that the resentment will go away and new inspiration will come. The hero finds a spark when he rejoins his own family, and also opens a snack bar on wheels.

Other stars, including John Deguizamo and Sofia Vergara, were confirmed almost as soon as Jon Favreau wrote the script and decided to shoot it himself. At the same time, for Downey Jr., the film became the fourth joint acting work with Favreau, since they starred together in the comic book series "Iron Man". At the same time, Robert Downey Jr. appeared in another film comic in the Marvel universe, which also starred Scarlett Johansson. In addition, the director invited the artist Laura Jean Shannon from the set of "Iron Man" to "Chef on Wheels". Work on the film boiled over specifically in Miami in mid-August 2013, where some of the events revolve around Favreau's character. In addition, the team worked in New Orleans and Austin. The Miami establishment Versailles was taken as the restaurant's working location. To learn the art of cooking, Favreau took lessons from famous Korean chef Roy Choi. The film was originally conceived as a low-budget film to support the general trend of Jon Favreau's work.
