Storyline
Spinning Plates is a documentary about three extraordinary restaurants and the incredible people who make them what they are. A cutting-edge restaurant named the seventh-best in the world whose chef must battle a life-threatening obstacle to pursue his passion. A 150-year-old family restaurant still standing only because of the unbreakable bond with its community. A fledgling Mexican restaurant whose owners are risking everything just to survive and provide for their young daughter. Their unforgettable stories of family, legacy, passion and survival come together to reveal how meaningful food can be, and the power it has to connect us to one another.
One of the best documentary's I have ever seen. It is so unique to this
genre because it is not trying to push anything on the audience or
expose a hidden truth. My last documentary I watched that I really
liked was "Waiting For Superman." And it is a film that shocks it's
viewers, and appalls them, gives us hope and then takes it away, it is
a typical documentary. But my absolute favorite movies are ones that
are like nothing I have ever seen before. Spinning Plates is a game
changer. It wont' shock you but it will warm your heart and touch your
soul... and make you hungry. While watching the movie I became sucked
into the story. The hour and a half seemed like a minute-- it was the
perfect amount of time. I wanted more, but at the same time it was all
I wanted, just a quick pick-me-up, an inspiring part of my day that
made me want to hug my family and then have a big family dinner. It is
utterly entertaining- I laughed and I cried. Spinning Plates reminds us
about community, passion, hard-work and the power of food. Most
importantly, I was inspired and proud to be a human. This film is a gem
in the rough. WATCH IT!
