“If you have a spice use it. Don’t sprinkle it on top- pour it and mix it
in.”
Welcome to The
Hundred Foot Journey, the delectable story that leaves you with food
for thought long after the movie comes to a close and you’ve had adequate time
to push back from the table, to take some time to digest this delicious feast
for the heart and soul. Who doesn’t love getting lost in a good movie? Just
like a 5 star meal, when all the perfect ingredients are brought together and
blended in just the right way, when cooked correctly it transports you back to
a time and place when life was served up in perfect proportions. DreamWorks The
Hundred Foot Journey is one of those movies. With plenty of food for thought, suddenly I
was 5 years old again, at my aunt’s house at Thanksgiving with the hustle and
bustle that only family gatherings of 100 relatives and great food can
bring. With the smells emanating from
the kitchen, the sneaking and sampling of food that sticks to your soul because
they were mixed with love, and the sounds of the laughter, with a light
smattering of bickering of a family once again reunited I was back at the
little kid’s table longing to make the move to the table where all the real
action was taking place. “Food is
memories.” The days of those Thanksgiving’s may be long going, but just
like a great meal, the memories will live on forever.
“Sometimes brakes break for a reason"
In The
Hundred-Foot Journey, Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue
with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native
India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village
of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is
both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an
Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress
of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by
Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it. 
Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate into a heated battle between the two establishments until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine — and for Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) — combine with his mysteriously- delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore.
“The Hundred-Foot
Journey” abounds with flavors that burst across the tongue. A stimulating
triumph over exile, blossoming with passion and heart, it is a portrayal of two
worlds colliding and one young man’s drive to find the comfort of home, in
every pot, wherever he may be.
“What Bite Takes You Home?”
“Every hundred-foot journey is like ‘The Wizard of Oz,’”
shared producer Oprah Winfrey. “It’s never any further than your own backyard.
And food can bring back a fondness or a feeling of being nurtured, supported
and loved. Every bite makes you think of being loved and every bite takes you
home.” What bite takes you home?
