Soul Kitchen "Culinary Racists"

FILM SOUL KITCHEN (2009)

German film comedy centered on a likable but hopelessly disorganized restauranteur, Zinos whose cafe is second home to a motley crew of lovable eccentrics. When his girlfriend Nadine up and moves to Shanghai, a love–sick Zinos decides to fly after her, leaving his restaurant in the hands of his unreliable ex–con brother Illias. Winner of the Special Jury Prize and the Young Cinema Award for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival. 

Culinary Racism

The Italian city of Lucca is being accused of ‘culinary racism’ after it banned new foreign eateries from opening in its historic centre. Councillors voted to deny new licences to any restaurant or bar within the town’s Renaissance-era walls whose style of cooking was non-Italian.
