Tony Shalhoub as an Italian chef, another one of his excellent performances. Perhaps the most memorable moment is when he nearly goes postal over a customer wanting both risotto and pasta.

A sous-chef takes over his family's restaurant and learns to master Indian cooking from his new mentor.

A chef loses his restaurant job and opens a food truck.
