Selected as the opening night film of Hot Docs 2018, the latest from Gemini Award-winning director Maya Gallus (Dish-Women, Waitressing & the Art of Service) heats up the Cinema this spring.  

With hot tempers and brazen machismo, “bad boy” chefs have shaped the restaurant industry’s often merciless working conditions, but as women take command of the world’s top kitchens, they’re revolutionizing food service and challenging its longstanding culture of abuse. From New York City's Anita Lo and Amanda Cohen to the queen of French cuisine Anne-Sophie Pic, seven chefs share their struggles to overcome a system of inequality while serving up delicious dishes. An appetite for change has taken hold and there's no turning back.
