Jon Favreau is the man responsible for kicking off the entire MCU with Iron Man and Iron Man 2, as well as bringing Robert Downey Jr. to the titular role. The film is still one of the highest rated Marvel movies of all time due to its humour, action and amazing lead actors. Favreau himself starred in the movie as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard and has appeared in seven MCU movies.

In 2014, three years after Iron Man 2, Favreau directed, produced and starred in Chef, the story of a renowned chef who opened a food truck to relight his passion. The movie delivers on its title, treating the audience to delicious cinematography, and presents the culinary profession in an intricate and passionate way.

The movie is a heartwarming story of family and fun that makes audiences feel good and their mouths water. However, it's not just the food that shines. The chemistry between the stellar cast is in true Favreau style: witty, heartfelt and charismatic. Full of amazing food and passionate characters, Favreau delivered one of the best family movies of the decade.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
