Spinning Plates

I confess that I actually purchased this Spinning Plates documentary by around the November 26, 2017 timeframe via Amazon with money made from my most recent university employment. The Spinning Plates documentary is fascinating to watch even if you are a novice to watching culinary documentaries.

Nice documentary about three restaurants, a struggling Mexican place in Tuscon, a family place in Iowa that has been around for over 100 years and a high tech modernist place in Chicago run by a talented world class chef. Shows the overlap and differences between the three restaurants as well as lots of human drama. Certainly worth watching if you find food and food preparation interesting.

An amazing documentary about people, about food and most importantly about the passion that fuels their dreams. My wife and I were glued to the screen, no breaks, no extra drinks, just watching. This work captures your interest, holds it, feeds it to an unexpected emotional peak. Just when you think you've seen it all and you're sitting satisfied with the movie, you are taken on a surprise recapitulation that left both of us weeping. This movie touches the heart. You just have to give it a viewing.

I watched this film on Netflix and was strangely moved by it. One reviewer asked where the food was but the movie is more than that. Its about how restaurants are more than food...they are at times an extension of the owner or town they are in. One restaurant was about the creativity of the Chef, the second restaurant really conveyed the connection between the community and the business, and the third was about family and achieving the "American Dream" . I teach Culinary Arts and had to purchase this move to show to my students.

I had to see this film because a few years ago I ate at Alinea, Chef Grant Achatz's restaurant. I was served dessert by Grant himself. It was one of the most memorable evenings in my life. Grant is a genius, and has such passion. I like to call him the Michelangelo of cuisine. He is so creative, and his plates are works of art.After seeing this film, I want to jump on a plane to Chicago, and go there again.

You want to watch this movie. Trust me. The way they weave the stories together and tie it up with a big bow is delicious.If nothing else, watch it for Chef Grant's story and food. He defines molecular gastronomy. All the stories are compelling. Watch it or don't (but do).

As someone who has dined at Alinia, it was amazing to see the inspired vision behind it. But what interested me most was seeing the juxtaposition of the three different restaurants/markets along side of the common theme of "home." A very enjoyable film for foodies & those who like to observe the human condition. I will probably watch this one again.

Loved how this documentary both explained a lot about Alinea but yet connected a dining experience at Alinea to your everyday restaurant experience.

An amazing look at three very different restaurants. Great for foodies and non restaurant people. There's a great human aspect to the film
