A MATTER OF TASTE takes an intimate look inside the world
of an immensely talented and driven young chef, Paul
Liebrandt. At 24, he was awarded three stars by the New
York Times for unforgettable and hyper modern dishes such
as "eel, violets and chocolate," "espuma of calf brains
and foie gras," and "beer and truffle soup."
Critic William Grimes likened Paul to "a pianist who seems
to have found a couple of dozen extra keys." Conversely,
Gourmet critic Jonathan Gold called Paul's food "the
result of a failed science experiment." He soon became a
chef critics loved or loved to hate.
The film follows Paul over a decade and reveals his
creative process in the kitchen, as well as the extreme
hard work, long hours, and dedication it takes to be a
culinary artist and have success in the cutthroat world of
haute cuisine in New York City. Exploring the complicated
relationships between food critics, chefs and restaurant
owners, the film delves into the life of an
uncompromising, thought provoking, young chef ahead of his
time.
