David F Jan 27 This is a great documentary for foodies. It profiles three restaurants: Alinea, a Chicago restaurant with an outstanding reputation for fine dining, Breitbach's Country Dining, a very old, family owned restaurant in small town Iowa, and La Cocina de Gabby, a Mexican restaurant in Arizona. The film shows the struggles and the satisfactions of operating a restaurant from a variety of perspectives and while it doesn’t get too deep in the weeds as far as cuisine, cooking, finances, or other practical details, it does provide a nice overview of each restaurant that allows the viewer to see what the history and the operations of a restaurant can be.
