"I may not do everything great in my life, but I'm good at this. I manage to touch people's lives with what I do and I want to share this with you." - Carl Casper to his son, Percy

Why watch this? It's a wonderful father/son film, and most is onboard a food truck!

Plot Summary: A talented chef loses his job at a Los Angeles restaurant after a clash with a food critic. Determined to rediscover his passion for cooking and reconnect with his family, he decides to start a food truck. With the help from his ex-wife, teen son and a friend, he travels across the country, selling delicious grub.

Dad's Preview: You can literally taste the love that director Jon Favreau puts into this little cinematic gem. He portrays Carl, a perfectionist chef who blows up at a restaurant critic (all wonderfully filmed and posted online) and loses his job. With some urging from his ex-wife, he starts a food truck. He's also urged to take along his preteen son, for some badly needed bonding. The film is fun and heart-warming to watch, and afterwards you will be craving a real Cubano sandwich!
