Query: A Guide to Fine Dining

Screenplay: Comedy/Caper
THE PITCH:
The great and wonderful Chef Aurique wants to open his own
restaurant and he has a plan. He will
pretend to open his own restaurant where he will launch a new and exciting
cuisine hoping to attract the attention of Monsieur Patronat, owner of Chez
Palace,, assuming Mons. Patronat will hire him as a chef, thus attracting
backers for him to open his own restaurant. He faces only two small obstacles. He has no money, and, he can’t actually cook.
However, Aurie, as his girlfriend calls him, does have two
friends: Rammy, who owns the hole in the
wall Schnitzel Haus in the village, and Ali, who has no visible means of
support but does have a sunny and optimistic disposition, to help him.
Through a series of various and temporary Chef jobs which he
loses for various reason—one being that he overcooked the Sushi at a Sushi
Restaurant—and a few scams, which include posing as a Health Inspector, a
Waiter, and a Gourmand, he nearly achieves his dream.
Now, if you have “The Boys” you must have, “The Girls”.
Patty, Aurie’s girlfriend, loves Aurie the way Daisy loves
Onslow.
Ali’s girlfriend, Gia, is a Wall Street financial
consultant.
Lesje, Rammy’s girlfriend, is a lawyer.
Aside from Patty, the girls wonder if their boyfriends will
ever grown up.
At the end, the girls bail the boys out, and make them repay
the victims of their well intentioned but misguided efforts. Except for a few dollars that Aurique had
concealed in a hidden compartment of his briefcase: just enough to finance his next venture.
But can he pull it off?
Can he! Aurique grabs a large
sketch pad and a marker, and with a few bold strokes, reveals the sketch for
the sign for his new enterprise.
Chez D’Aurique
Maison de Pouvant être Façonné
Except for a few outside shots, most of the scenes take
place in an apartment, an upscale restaurant, or the kitchen of a restaurant. This, to keep the set costs down.
The final scene is intended to segue into the sequel A Guide
to High Fashion—easily timed to coincide with Fashion Week. This leaves only the third in the trilogy: A
Guide to High Finance. By that time, the US economy should have recovered
enough to make Finance a hot topic.
