Today’s Special: TidBit of the Day

Today's Special

“Masala is the symphony, oil is the orchestra.”

If you like food, the Daily Show, Queens, or know about what it’s like to be an immigrant, this light-hearted, sweet movie is must. Aasif Mandvi (Daily Show) plays a son of Indian immigrants trying to make it as a sous chef in a fancy French restaurant in New York City. He has to take over his dad’s failing Indian restaurant when his dad has a heart attack – only he doesn’t know how to cook Indian food. In comes a taxi driver, played by the legendary Nasseruddin Shah, and the rest follows.

It’s not a flawless movie, but I’ve been waiting for this since I saw the trailer.

With lines like “Cumin is such a saucy wench,” it’s sort of a foodie’s escape. Just make sure you have some good Indian food waiting for you when the movie is over.
