The story of three extraordinary restaurants and the incredible people who make them what they are. The film begins with a cutting-edge Chicago restaurant, Alinea, named the seventh-best in the world. The second, Breitbach's Country Dining, is a 150-year old family restaurant in Iowa. Finally there is La Cocina de Gabby, a fledgling Mexican restaurant in Tucson. Their unforgettable stories of family, legacy, passion and survival come together to remind us how meaningful food can be, and the power it has to connect people to one another. It's a celebration of the art and passion of nurturing people, not just feeding them.
