The South Western International Film Festival presents NEW CHEFS ON THE BLOCK--screening at 4:00PM on Saturday, November 4th, 2017 at the Imperial Theatre.
Opening a restaurant is hard. Maintaining a steady stream of loyal customers? Even harder.
In Dustin Harrison-Atlas’ delicious debut documentary, watch as two restaurateurs in Washington, DC—Frank Linn of Frankly… Pizza!, and Aaron Silverman of Rose’s Luxury—put on their aprons and risk mountains of debt in an attempt to realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
NEW CHEFS ON THE BLOCK also provides some food for thought: In the era of the digital restaurant review, could a two-star rating topple everything these chefs have worked so hard for?
You’ve seen cooking shows and kitchen nightmares. Here, Harrison-Atlas takes us behind-the-scenes of the behind-the-scenes, showing us just how gruelling gastronomical endeavours—especially on the business side of things—can be.
