Ella Brennan: Commanding the Table
Directed by Leslie Iwerks
USA, Documentary, 93 minutes
This film follows the engaging and charming (and now 91-year- old) Ella Brennan, the woman behind Southern cuisine as we know it. Ella has gifted Americans with jazz brunch, Bananas Foster, and Emeril Lagasse. The film follows her journey to become a James Beard award-winning restaurateur, as she survives family disputes, the ravages of Hurricane Katrina, and the difficulties of perfecting brunch on her quest to create the “best damn restaurant this country has ever had.” If you enjoy eating, New Orleans, or sassy Southern women, you don’t want to miss this film. - Rachel Ahrnsen
