Soul Kitchen

When his girlfriend (Pheline Roggan) leaves for Shanghai for a journalist assignment in this hilarious, charmingly quirky, well-written, 2009 comedy, a lackadaisical German cook (Adam Bousdoukos), who serves mediocre food at his ramshackle restaurant in Hamburg, by chance hires a talented, egotistical, self-serving, hotheaded chef (Birol Ünel) to cook more upscale food while trying to decide whether to join his lover in China, to sell his property to a greedy businessman (Wotan Wilke Möhring) he met in school, and/or to give his gambling-addicted, ex-con brother (Mortiz Bleibtreu) a job after he falls in love with a waitress (Anna Bederke).
