Andrew Talks to Chefs SPECIAL REPORT #15: Shelter en Place Theater presents a Review of Burnt, starring Bradley Cooper, with guest critics Allison & Matt Robicelli
Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper), we are told, is to cooking what the Rolling Stones are to rock & roll. For two hours, in the comeback saga Burnt (2015), we learn just how awful one can behave if they have a way with a whisk. Or can they? in a new, possibly recurring feature, Shelter en Place Theater, Andrew is joined by guest critics Allison & Matt Robicelli to dissect Burnt, both as a representation of the chef trade, and as a work of dramatic fiction. It ain't pretty, but it's honest.
**Warning: This episode is rife with spoilers. Please watch Burnt before listening!**
Our great thanks to S.Pellegrino for making these special reports possible.
