Synopsis

A film adaptation based on the memoir about 29 year-old American-Nigerian chef Kwame Onwuachi, "Notes from a Young Black Chef" follows Onwuachi's journey from his childhood in the Bronx with a mostly single mother to opening a fine-dining restaurant in Washington DC at the age of 26. The story encompasses the extreme highs and lows of his path to becoming a chef in a mostly white, elitist industry, including financing his first catering business by selling candy on the subway, appearing on "Top Chef," and his first restaurant, Shaw Bijou in D.C., closing just 11 weeks after its opening.
