In this movie, master documentarian Frederick Wiseman focuses on the Troisgros family, a dynasty of French chefs.

Much of the film takes place in their celebrated restaurant-hotel in the Loire where the paterfamilias oversees a team that with love, ingenuity, and technique create one astonishment after another for the delight of others.
