| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineFun fare for foodies, especially those with a taste for classic French cuisine and nostalgia for the posh French restaurants that once dominated the culinary scene. |
| San Diego ReaderMatthew LickonaBy patiently letting events play out past the easy and expected end-note, Frankel has fashioned a fine story out of what might have been merely a cautionary tale. |
| User ReviewNick U10/21/16 Netflix DVD A terrific documentary that is well beyond a foodie story. It is a story of business, love of profession, talent, mentorship, success, failure, heights and depths. I love the relationship between Chef Georges and Chef Nick. This is a movie that is as rich as the sauces that French chefs are famous for. |
| User ReviewGeorge ENicely done. Much more engaging and entertaining than the drek playing at the national chains. |
