My Rating: 3.97/4 (aka Absolutely must watch)

One line summary: A fine dining chef takes over his brother’s restaurant.

The Deets: I realize I am breaking all the rules here (kind of like this show), as I write about a non-movie on a movie blog. But after finishing the third season, and being blown away, I felt compelled to share. This is probably my favorite show of all time; it has incredible energy, humor, remarkable and quotable characters, a deep dark intense premise, and its soul is pure – all about how we humans seek greatness, even if we are afraid to pursue it. I could go on for pages about this show, and maybe I will in a different format, but for now suffice it to say that you must watch it.

Perfect for: If you want to get sucked in and are ready for a high-energy, often uncomfortable and mostly always beautiful show about pursuing excellence.

Where to watch: Hulu yo!!

Food pairing: Impossible to say given it will take you at least a few days to get through the 3 seasons, but I would start with an omelette.
