The Frenchman And His Restaurant
This is a documentary about master chef (he even wears the blue-white-red official collar) Georges Perrier, who wanted to be a chef even since childhood, endured harsh schooling in France to become a master chef, and went to the USA to open a real French restaurant…in a then-decrepit neighborhood in Philadelphia. Why there? No matter, it succeeded for forty years and won many rave reviews.

Of course, he paid a price. He had to spend all of his days working, and all of his weeks, 360 days a year, and he was an utter perfectionist, constantly bullying his chefs and using plenty of bombastic and crude language. He had a wife and daughter, but his family would break apart, and near the age of seventy he tried to pass the baton to his best chef to run the restaurant. But to no avail-the restaurant got closed, and the chef ended up creating his own restaurant, definitely more modern that his former employer’s.

An interesting documentary, but it makes you think twice about ever having your own business.

A Philadelphia Institution
While Philadelphia is one of the greatest cities in America, it has the unfortunate circumstance that it is only a 2 hour drive from New York City, arguably one of the greatest cities in the world. Accordingly, much of Philadelphia suffers from a huge inferiority complex. So when Le Bec Fin was in it’s prime, this was a huge source of pride for Philadelphians. Not only was Le Bec Fin consistently considered one of the best restaurants in America, it was arguably just as good if not better than anything New York could offer.

So as someone who grew up in the New York media market, and then went to school in Philadelphia and have lived much of my adult life around the Philadelphia area, I understand that. And that was why I wanted to see this film, and observe the living legend in Philadelphia that is Georges Perrier.

If you’re not from the Philadelphia area, I’m not sure how much you’ll like it, but if you’re from the Philadelphia area, I think you’ll really appreciate it, including the end when we see the new Restaurant Row in South Philadelphia, where his protégé, Nicholas Elmi, has opened up a new restaurant.

Speaking of Elmi, I had watched his season on Top Chef, and didn’t realize the history he had with Georges Perrier, which inexplicably wasn’t discussed during his time on the show. Sadly, Elmi is only a little bit more likable in this documentary than he was on Top Chef.
