We eat Cuban sandwiches, tostones, and beignets before discussing the movie Chef (2014). Even though the film could have used some well-measured edits, we find that the story is a meaningful tale about finding the correct balance in your life. The perfect mesh of food and fantastical family life is a joy to watch without disorganized domestic hiccups to weigh you down. The film is full of flavor, but it may leave you hungry for more main characters and fewer cameos.
