It was the flashback scenes with Joel McHale as 5* chef that reminded my brother of, almost exactly, of Thomas Keller. And then Ralph Fiennes took it over the edge.
lol... that mini-movie was one of the best things to come out on television in awhile.... and will serve as a stand-alone "must watch" for anybody prior to the holidays. I believe this is the last season based on the original plan. Sounds about right as the restaurant has been opened and I feel they have the opportunity to tie all up nicely.
