Our Hollywood correspondent, Vance Bindlemyer, reports that Gwyneth Paltrow will play Gabrielle Hamilton, chef-owner of Manhattan's Prune restaurant, in a film adaptation of Ms. Hamilton's memoir, "Blood, Bones and Butter."
This will be the second filming, in the past few years, of the life and career of a famous chef, the first, as you all know, being Meryl Streep's portrayal of Julia Child.
This led us to think that there are movies waiting to be made about many chefs. We can see them on the big screen now--Dolly Parton as Paula Deen, Robert Downey, Jr. as Bobby Flay, Anne Hathaway as Rachael Ray, Will Ferrell as Emeril, Stompin' Tom Connors as Michael Smith, John Cleese as Keith Floyd, Dustin Hoffman as Jamie Oliver, and, as Gordon Ramsay, that wild guy who swears at people, Jack Nicholson, in his best hyper-anger mode.
And to play Anthony Bourdain? Anthony Bourdain.
