Have been trying to get hold of this for a while then it suddenly appeared on Netflix! Basically its about a professional cocaine dealer who is given an unusual task by his boss on the eve of his retirement. Its quite a rich and realistic take on what it would be like to deal with illegitimate underground business people. Managed to start watching it with the intention of finishing off the next day - ended up watching it all and not getting enough sleep.

Worth a watch if your a bit of a foodie, basically Chef De Cuisine Carl Casper is stuck in a rut with everything piling on top of him (divorce, a boss who only does the same thing over and over as as well handling criticism) over reacting to criticism from professional bloggers / twitter personalities. Its quite amusing seeing someone deal with twitter, when not knowing how to use or understand it. Its a feel good film tbh.

A chef who loses his restaurant job starts up a food truck in an effort to reclaim his creative promise, while piecing back together his estranged family.
