In 2005, Bradley Cooper made a TV series "Secrets of the Kitchen".
Ten years later, he has become a big hit, becoming one of Hollywood's most famous male stars. He made a movie "Chef in Love" to pay tribute to the TV series.

Bradley Cooper plays Adam Jones, a two-Michelin star chef. This is a story from the beginning.
Prior to this, Adam’s life had gone through at least these stages:
selling seafood in the seafood market, accompanying all kinds of seafood every day, and waking up every clear morning by dreams;
he went to Paris to enter Luke’s restaurant and work as a part-timer. ,
His talent was quickly shown, and he became Luke’s proud disciple; he was named a Michelin-starred chef, and his life reached its peak. At the same time, it also made him forget about
himself and don’t know how to control success; indulge himself in drug abuse, jealousy, self-willedness, He didn't tolerate others, he messed up everything around him, messed up his own life;
fled Paris, not only began to quit drugs, but also punished himself for peeling oysters, peeling a total of 1 million.

The story happened when he went to London after peeling 1 million oysters, intending to start the story from scratch.
For three years, things are nonsense, and the former little friend has already been rated as a two-star, and may surpass him in the near future.
He formed a team, wooed former partners, discovered new talented chefs, and went to see a psychologist on a regular basis.
He thought he had started again, but found that only after paying off the past account would it really start.
He once dropped mice in a restaurant newly opened by his friend, so that the sanitary inspection failed and the restaurant was closed; however, his friend suddenly hacked when the food commentator arrived. The name is revenge.
The money owed from drug abuse can not be repaid, and he can only suffer severe beatings.
Luke, who found himself fulfilling himself in his life, has passed away, when his life was ruined.

Only when the payment is over slowly, can he really start.
Many people don't comment highly on this movie. The most criticized one is why everyone likes Adam? Why is there so much help around him? Because he didn't sink and give up on himself.
The impact of three Michelin stars is only the superficial reason for everyone to get together, because it represents the glory of life, and everyone wants to enjoy that glory.
The internal reason is that Adam is unwilling to give up on himself. As the first person to promote this matter, what he wants to achieve is not glory, but a new self, a better self.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Michelin's spirit continues to flow. Love and food can have both.

Burnt quotes

  • [Adam has been jumped upon by the French mafia]

    Helene: No, you're not *cooking*, Adam. We can handle it, alright. Just tell me quickly, do you want me to baste them in butter?

    Adam Jones: *Slowly*. And then peel and emulsify.

    Tony: Jesus, you're as bad as he is.

  • Dr Rosshilde: Someone told you when you were very small that you were good and the world was good, and everything naturally would be good. And then the serpent served you a bad apple, and for all your bullshit, you can't take bad. Not in a souffle, not in an apple, and crucially, not in a person. Whatever it was or whoever it was in the past, it's time to get on with it. And you can't do this alone. There's strength in needing others .. not weakness.
