Inbetween a plate and a spoonful of the unstoppable kitchen of Gennaro Esposito’s restaurant, one of today’s most quoted chefs, conflicts and passions are played out; one becomes close friends or major enemies; you love and you hate each other. “Long postings, entire days in the thick steam of a busy and an always extremely crowded kitchen. Three, sometimes four workers, squashed into corners, with cameras right up close. It is impossible however not to deduce, if you look closely - in the ritual gestures, in the hurried handovers, the elaborate preparations – a sense of a profession which calls you, takes you in and becomes a life-style. 'In the past, if you told a girl that you were a cook, she’d look at you as you would a crook. Today things have changed – says Gennaro Esposito – on the contrary, you’re almost considered an artist'. But to get to be an artist is not easy, because being a chef is an exhaustive business: frenetic rhythms, crazy hours, enforced shoulder-to-shoulder closeness, total dedication.” (Elisabetta Pandimiglio)
