Movie fans, join us for three food-themed films this November at Claremont Branch.
November 1, 5:30-7:30p -- Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
Shares the story of Jiro Ono, recipient of a three-star Michelin rating and considered by many to have been the world's best sushi chef. He retired at 91 as the proprietor of a small and unassuming restaurant located in a Tokyo subway station, but is credited with innovating modern sushi preparation.
November 15, 5:30-7:30p -- Delicious.
In pre-Revolutionary France, a chef dismissed from his position finds the strength to open the country's first restaurant.
November 29, 5:30-7:30p -- Eat with Me
David Au's 2014 debut film serves up life, love, and food in the heart of Los Angeles as a mother and her gay son reconnect and grow as the son's restaurant faces foreclosure.
This is a short month for movies because of a special event on November 8 with Zero Charisma, a musical guest we hope you can join us for and because of the early closure on Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, October 22. Please call for more information 510-981-6280.
