Jon Favreau. Actor. Director. Chef.
Jon has released a very charming film called CHEF.
It’s about a chef who loses his high profile restaurant job in LA, travels across the USA and in Miami starts up a food truck in an effort to reclaim his creative promise, while piecing together his estranged family. From that point on it becomes a road film, driven by food and music.
Not a bad thing.
We know Jon from his work in the indy film Swingers plus Elf and both Iron Man blockbusters but this small film allows him to touch on themes lost in the larger films.
Love, trust, family. Food.
Basic stuff.
We find Jon on the phone from Los Angeles.
Apologies for the phone connection. We cleaned it up as best we could.
