Have you guys heard of the new Disney movie “The Hundred Foot Journey?” It’s based on the best-selling novel by Richard C. Morais and starring Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren. It’ll be in theaters on August 8. What’s it about? In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it.
Sounds pretty fabulous, right? Plus, if Disney is in charge, you KNOW it’ll be a good time. Read more HERE
