What I Watched -- Today's Special

After watching a couple of food documentaries on Netflix, that seems to be all it suggests.  It worked out well with Today's Special, because it also continued my current trend of watching silly rom-coms.

There is nothing of substance to this movie.  But if you like NYC street scenes, if you like food (and Indian food in particular), and if you have a couple of hours to kill, it's a pretty cute way to do it.

The star is a too-good-for-his-roots son of Indian restaurant owners.  When he gets fired from his fancy Manhattan restaurant, he plans to leave for Paris where he can really hone his craft.  But he discovers the plight of his parents restaurant and opts instead to take it over.  The rest is history.

Bottom line: cute, and delightfully keen on the wonder of the perfect flavor.
