Discover the rise and fall of chef Charlie Trotter, who revolutionized American cuisine and paved the way for today’s celebrity chefs. His eponymous Chicago restaurant was one of the world’s top dining destinations. With exclusive access to never-before-seen material, the film reveals Trotter’s relentless pursuit of excellence, featuring interviews with Grant Achatz, Emeril Lagasse and Wolfgang Puck. “Rebecca Halpern’s energetic, in-depth documentary covers the highs and lows of the man’s career—including the lawsuits he settled with disgruntled employees and the financial hits he took when the economy tanked...What makes this film so fascinating is that its subject remains an enigma: a pioneer who did a lot of good and inspired a lot of people, then faded quietly away, leaving questions about who he really was.” (Los Angeles Times).
