classified 15Matt Johnson (Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie) directs this dramedy inspired by the early chapters of famed American chef and author Anthony Bourdain's 2000 memoir Kitchen Confidential.
It's 1975 and all 19-year-old Tony (Dominic Sessa - who you may remember as the moody teenager from The Holdover) wants to be is a writer. His hopes and dreams are dashed when he doesn't get a prized fellowship to go to university after telling everyone he knows it's a sure thing.
Trying to find his place in the world and essentially running away from home, Tony ends up in Provincetown, stumbling into the chaotic world of the restaurant of a Brazilian-born 'Chef' (played by Antonio Banderas). Thus sets off a transformative summer that will shape the course of his entire life as he learns what it takes to run his own restaurant.
