He's not being a celebrity chef. He's being A Chef. If you ever work in a real kitchen it is volitile. Tension never really disapates until service is over. And building a restaurant, tension and the drive towards perfection nearly always leads to breaks. While it had a very predictable ending (with a slight twist thrown in midway), I felt it was the truest depiction of a chef in a movie to date. It is not a romantic life style like Hollywood likes to think. Most chef aren't lovable. Most are pricks. Not all, but most. And it's the ego that elevates and destroys us.
