JEREMIAH TOWER: THE LAST MAGNIFICENT explores the remarkable life of Jeremiah Tower, one of the most controversial and influential figures in the history of American gastronomy. Tower began his career at the renowned Chez Panisse in Berkeley in 1972, becoming a pioneering figure in the emerging California cuisine movement. After leaving Chez Panisse, due in part to a famously contentious relationship with founder Alice Waters, Tower went on to launch his own legendary Stars Restaurant in San Francisco. Stars was an overnight sensation and soon became one of America’s top-grossing U.S. restaurants. After several years, Tower mysteriously walked away from Stars and then disappeared from the scene for nearly two decades, only to resurface in the most unlikely of places: New York City’s fabled but troubled Tavern on the Green. There, he launched a journey of self-discovery familiar to anyone who has ever imagined themselves to be an artist. Featuring interviews by Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain, Ruth Reichl and Martha Stewart, this delicious documentary tells the story of the rise and fall of America’s first celebrity chef, whose brash personality and culinary genius has made him a living legend.

Anthony bourdain is dead because he endorsed animal cruelty such as ripping the intestines out live ducks to eat for whats to be believed for freshness a sick and depraved thing to do but still happens to this day in many restaurants ,the one I saw on his show was in china .Who thinks that sort of thing up and then makes it a common thing. Please dont cage animals for your pleasure any type of animal. Think of how another would feel if you where it .Dog fighters are the same as a paedophile.scum

Surprisingly intriguing and beautifully choreographed story that sheds light on a man who changed America, and the world's, approach to what being a chef means. You don't have to be a foodie or a documentary fan to enjoy this one. (p.s. bring Jeremiah Tower back!)

Fascinating to watch mainly because of his poetic reminiscences about his life, even though he is such a private person. His brilliance and passion needed the comfort of just one restaurant and a more balanced life, but if you are a type A, that is not going to be easy. Interesting life nonetheless.
