Casting directors are currently casting extras to work on the Jon Favreau directed feature film, “Chef” in Austin, Texas.
Favreau has also been gleaning skills from the Kogi chef-owner in preparation for his role in the upcoming Chef, which will also star Robert Downey Jr., Sofia Vergara, and Scarlett Johansson (Grub Street).
Over the past few months, the rest of the world marveled over director Jon Favreau’s Use Of Technology to announce his cast for the upcoming movie Chef.
But when Favreau’s not using Vine to make major casting announcements usually reserved for press releases, he also gives us fun sneak peeks and vignettes into the making of Chef. A lot of them include his new BFF, Roy Choi, and his food truck Kogi BBQ (The Braiser).
And, if you look carefully enough, you might actually learn more about what’s going on in the film, too!
