Restaurant owner Riva (Dustin Hoffman) refuses to let his chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau)'s creative juices flow, giving him an ultimatum - either cook the dishes on the menu or leave. Although Carl sticks to the menu, bad reviews criticising his lack of creativity result in a Twitter war and he loses his job. With the help of his friend Martin (John Leguizamo), ex-wife Inez (Sofia Vergara) and son Percy (Emjay Anthony), Carl opens up a food truck and tours the country with his culinary delights, rediscovering his passion for cooking along the way.
