A savory chef must first master his knife skills and understand the basics of sauces and soups, etc., before he/she may move on to become a great chef. It is no different for pastry chefs.

Movies like 'Chef' are not really box-office monsters in the summertime and don't really fit into Hollywood's business model any longer.

- Jon Favreau
