The Chef (Persian: آشپزباشی), is a 2009 Iranian TV series directed by Mohammad Reza Honarmand. It tells the story of a successful couple that manage a very high-quality restaurant in Tehran, Iran. Both Parviz Parastui and Fatemeh Motamed-Arya have previously acted in Honarmand's films and series such as The Changed Man, Azizam Man Kook Nistam, and Zire Tigh[1]
A happily married couple runs one of the most successful restaurants in Tehran. The husband is the head chef and the wife is the manager. But when she goes around tooting her own horn on a television show, without acknowledging her husband's efforts, he takes offence and leaves the restaurant to launch a new one. What starts out as a small argument, keeps rising until it threatens to tear their family apart.
