Synopsis:

A self-trained cook with haute-cuisine ambitions, Jacky (thesp, singer, comedian and media personality Michael Youn) gets canned from a series of menial cooking jobs for taking exception to his customers' taste. Beatrice (Raphaelle Agogue), Jacky's heavily pregnant girlfriend, tries to halt their financial meltdown by arranging a handyman position for him at an old folks home, but he can't resist the siren call of the kitchen.

Poking fun at the restaurant world, French helmer Daniel Cohen's genial, broadly played comedy 'The Chef' dishes up easily digestible laughs as an annoying, know-it-all foodie lucks into his dream job at a fine dining establishment. Suited to the less demanding end of the audience spectrum, middlebrow pic could serve as a menu item offshore, or the recipe for a remake. Gaumont has already sold distribution rights to Germany, Canada and Japan.

A veteran chef faces off against his restaurant group's new CEO, who wants to the establishment to lose a star from its rating in order to bring in a younger chef who specializes in molecular gastronomy.
