Hollywood is serving up so many food movies lately that tickets should come with bibs. After Jon Favreau’s surprise indie hit in this summer’s Chef , studios are salivating to get moviegoers in the mood for a bite at the box office. Bradley Cooper takes the ladle as a sous chef who assembles a crack culinary crew to create the greatest restaurant known to the human palate. Favreau says, whose $13 million passion project has collected more than $28 million and has wafted through the box office for more than three months. “I think there’s a real intersection between people who like independent movies and people who like food.”
