In film, chefs are symbols of the modern artist—a mirror, perhaps, of filmmakers, who try to reconcile their creativity with commercial viability. So struggles John Clasky, Adam Sandler's character in Spanglish, a top-flight chef in Los Angeles. At Sandler's restaurant, the copper shines like the day it was molded, and the cooks pick live herbs from pots on the kitchen line. While his restaurant is a hit, he's worried it could lose its "soul" if its reputation gets too good. But Clasky's kitchen is a little too dreamy, quiet, and slow to sell itself as a powerhouse in the real world, and he seems to lack the spine to run a four-star kitchen. (It is also hard to imagine that a Californian chef couldn't have at least a rudimentary Spanish conversation with his Mexican housekeeper.) At home and at work, he labors to stay "below the radar," as this clip suggests. This is not to say that one needs to be a tyrant to run a kitchen, either—but a certain authority helps.
