Maturity Rating:

Both a biopic of a complicated man and an exploration of the gathering forces that converged to shape a new American cuisine and create the cult of 'celebrity chef'... A consummate hedonist, Jeremiah Tower's career spans the riotous sexual revolution of the 70's to the high rolling 'greed-is-good' spirit of the '80s. Key interviews with celebrities & celebrity chefs cement Tower's influence on today's food culture and reveal how he transformed the restaurant industry and in the process changed the way we eat.
