Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent, Anthony Bourdain and director Lydia Tenaglia's documentary about the hugely influential, but reclusive chef Jeremiah Towers is to receive its US premiere.
Tower, who Bourdain describes as an “enormously influential, important character that had been written out of history,” started his cooking career at Alice Waters’Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California in 1972, before opening the massively successful Stars in San Francisco, one of the most famous restaurants in the US for nearly two decades. The Connecticut-born Tower is largely seen as the father of ‘California Cuisine,’ as he explains in this presentation at the MAD symposium in Copenhagen, and has helped train the likes of Mario Batali and Joey Altman.
But after selling Stars, Tower entered into self-imposed exile down in Mexico, amongst other places, and didn't cook professionally for many years. Then, in 2014, he recieved a call from New York's Tavern on the Green...
As Grub Streetreports, the documentary has spent the last year or so touring film festivals, but will premiere on 21 April in New York and Los Angeles. Watch the spine-tingling trailer below.
