Hot off its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, JEREMIAH TOWER: THE LAST MAGNIFICENT now is primed for a release. Before the term “celebrity chef” was a thing, there was Jeremiah Tower, known perhaps as the first of its kind and for revolutionizing the concept of farm-to-table eating. At the top of his game on the west coast however, Tower stepped away suddenly from the spotlight, leaving many in the culinary world to wonder why, that is until he re-appeared again 15 years later helping relaunch the troubled Tavern on the Green in New York City. The Documentary focuses on his journey to self-discovery and is told in part by interviews with the likes of Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain (Executive Producer), Martha Stewart and more.

In town for one night only on one of the most star-studded nights in Toronto’s recent memory, Tower appeared at a special screening of the Documentary at Cineplex Yonge & Dundas, where he reflected upon his storied career with an intimate audience, including some lucky Willionaire$ who won passes recently. At the Q&A, one young culinary student asked him advice for aspiring chefs. Tower imparted, “I think that the measure of one’s life is the chances one takes. Take chances. You can always pick yourself up off the ground.”.
We even had the pleasure of meeting the icon himself!

Synopsis:
JEREMIAH TOWER: THE LAST MAGNIFICENT explores the remarkable life of Jeremiah Tower, one of the most controversial and influential figures in the history of American gastronomy. Tower began his career at the renowned Chez Panisse in Berkeley in 1972, becoming a pioneering figure in the emerging California cuisine movement. After leaving Chez Panisse, due in part to a famously contentious relationship with founder Alice Waters, Tower went on to launch his own legendary Stars Restaurant in San Francisco. Stars was an overnight sensation and soon became one of America’s top-grossing U.S. restaurants. After several years, Tower mysteriously walked away from Stars and then disappeared from the scene for nearly two decades, only to resurface in the most unlikely of places: New York City’s fabled but troubled Tavern on the Green. There, he launched a journey of self-discovery familiar to anyone who has ever imagined themselves to be an artist. Featuring interviews by Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain, Ruth Reichl and Martha Stewart, this delicious documentary tells the story of the rise and fall of America’s first celebrity chef, whose brash personality and culinary genius has made him a living legend.
