Chef’s Special (Fuera de Carta)

This saucy light comedy from Spain serves up a bellyful of laughs. With slavish attention to detail, chef Maxi (Cámara) labors over the sumptuous dishes at his chic restaurant in Madrid’s gay ghetto, Chuecatown. He tries to stay focused on obtaining his first Michelin star, but the unexpected arrival of his two children from a previous marriage and the sexy footballer who moves in next door become a distraction. Now he must decide what’s more important: family, love, or career—or can he have it all? “Raucous comedy” (New York Times). 2008, video, in Spanish with English subtitles, 111 minutes.
