Eat With Me: Directed by David Au
The award-winning Eat With Me, is a charming comedy-drama about a mother and her gay son who heal, connect and grow together as the son’s Chinese restaurant faces foreclosure. As gay chef Elliot (Teddy Chen Culver) tries to find new love with handsome blue-eyed Brit Ian (Aidan Bristow), perhaps his newly-separated mother (Sharon Omi) will find her way towards acceptance of her son as well. Eat With Me also features a terrific turn from Nicole Sullivan (TV’s ‘Family Guy’) as Elliot’s hilarious neighbor and a special appearance by George Takei (Star Trek).
I recommend this movie. First, I am a sucker for great “cooking” movies; second, I am a actually a fan of all the actors in this movie; and third, I like good comedy dramas of which this is one. This film won Best Feature film at the Florence Queer Film Fest, Italy.
