Chef
Chef is a 2014 American road comedy-drama film directed, written, co-produced by, and starring Jon Favreau as a celebrity chef who, after a public altercation with a food critic, loses his job at a popular Los Angeles restaurant and begins to operate a food truck with his young son. It co-stars Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, and Dustin Hoffman, along with Robert Downey Jr. in a cameo role. Favreau wrote the script after directing several big-budget films, wanting to go "back to basics" and to create a film about cooking. Food truck owner and chef Roy Choi served as a co-producer and oversaw the menus and food prepared for the film. Principal photography took place in July 2013 in Los Angeles, Miami, Austin and New Orleans. Chef premiered at South by Southwest on March 7, 2014, and was released theatrically on May 9, 2014, by Open Road Films. It was well received by critics, who praised the direction, music, writing, story, and performances, and grossed $46 million against a production budget of $11 million.
"Fuck Twitter". Again with the "Fuck Twitter". Why should I fuck Twitter? - You're not on Twitter? - No. You're getting too much pussy? Is that the problem? It's gotta be, right? What does Twitter have to do with pussy? Have you not heard of the term 'social networking'? - Yeah. - Well, that's what it is. - It means pussy? - Like, pussy. Or, like, getting tickets to something. - Or finding about a new band. - Flash mobs. That kind of stuff. - Anything that requires a database. - So pussy requires a database? Yeah! So show me what's on Twitter that's so bad that I should see.

- Oh, shit, is that gochujang? - Nothing. Nothing. - Damn, you made fucking gochujang? - Yeah, that's under the squab. But he's gonna 86 it. Riva's gonna 86 it, I know. - Yo, this gochujang is good. - Don't worry about fucking Riva. He ain't gonna let you serve that Korean shit. Let me handle him. Don't worry about that. I got it. He says I can cook whatever I want. - Alright. Alright. - We're gonna cook like this. - Did you try that? Oh, hey. - Oh, man. That's broccoli rabe l'anchois. Check this out. This is ridiculous. - What you got over there? - I got...
Chef
Carl... Casper. So is this for sex? Eww! Is that what you're doing this for? No, I'm not doing it for that. Someone wrote something bad. I wanna see what they wrote. Good. Oh, shit. Hey. You can't talk like that. I don't care if Mommy's not around. I don't want you cursing around here. - That review went viral. - What does that mean? It means it got picked up and re-tweeted everywhere. So all these people have read the review? - Yeah. - Oh, shit. - I think it's kinda cool. - I don't. - No, I mean, us doing this. - Doing what? You know, just hanging out. We hang out all the time. No, like, hanging out and doing something.
Chef
Well, we do things. No, not just, like, watching something or doing something. Like, hanging out and talking. And learning things from each other. I figured, you know, with you living at Mom's house and me working all the time, when we hung out, you liked to do fun things. I think this is kinda fun. You know, just figuring stuff out. Like when you lived at home.

- Dad? - Yeah. You got 1,653 followers since last night. - Oh, is that good? - It's amazing. Oh, good. What does it mean? It means that 1,653 people are reading your Twitter feed. Mm-hm. I thought it was like texting. Did you post anything since last night? - No. - Are you sure? Yeah, I just sent a private message to somebody. - To who? - To that A-hole food critic. You could only send private messages to people who are following you. I think you might have posted that publicly. No, he wrote something nasty about me and then I hit reply and it let me send a message to him. Dad, replies are public. Everybody can read them. And it looks like he re-tweeted it to all his 123,845 followers. And he wrote back.
