The movie is 82 minutes of Albert nattering on about wanting to be better, but he talks about food only in the abstract.

The film... shows how these meals are built from the ground up, and with backbreaking work. It also addresses, albeit not with too much specificity, the economic anxieties of creating these businesses.
