Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is an extraordinarily talented and largely self-taught culinary novice. When he and his family are displaced from their native India and settle in a quaint French village, they decide to open an Indian eatery. However, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the proprietress of an acclaimed restaurant just 100 feet away, strongly objects. War erupts between the two establishments, until Mallory recognizes Kadam’s impressive epicurean gifts and takes him under her wing.

Philip Tessier is an award-winning chef, author, coach, culinary partner and innovator. He was the first American chef to ever place on the podium at the biennial Bocuse D’Or competition in Lyon France, and most recently coached the 2017 U.S.A team to victory. He recounts this journey in his 2017 book “Chasing Bocose”. He is currently Executive Chef at Press in St. Helena which received its first Michelin star in 2022.
Chef Ajay Walia came to the United States from New Delhi, India in 1990’s to pursue his MBA. What followed was a career in finance, working at JP Morgan in the CBOT for Deloitte and Oracle. Disillusioned with the state of Silicon Valley’s corporate culture, Walia soon decided to pursue his dream of being a restauranteur and opened Saffron Indian Bistro in 2003. After a decade of owning Saffron (now an anchor in San Carlo’s vibrant downtown strip), Walia looked to shake up the state of South Indian food on the Peninsula and opened Rasa Contemporary Indian in Burlingame in 2014. The progressive South Indian restaurant has gone on to win critical acclaim and was awarded One Michelin star in 2016.
