In LA, a Mexican American chef (Hector Elizondo) has problems with his three grown up daughters and tries to remain the patriarch to the family for them all.

Foodie analogies are abound in this fairly genteel family drama. It is a remake of Ang Lee's EAT, DRINK, MAN, WOMAN (1994) and is able to remain faithfull to Lee's film and comes over quite well. Raquel Welch, while a highlight in the film is hit and miss as Elizondo's brassy and blousey girlfriend in this light, but fun film.
