Off The Menu: The Last Days Of Chasen's

Where every night was a premiere and every table was filled with stars.

From the award-winning filmmakers behind American Splendor comes their debut film about the beloved Chasen's restaurant, a Hollywood mainstay where everyone from Charlton Heston to Madonna was served for over fifty years. Featuring a treasure trove of interviews and appearances by some of Hollywood's greatest legends and brightest stars, this enticing film celebrates the restaurant's glory days and bittersweet moments leading up to its climactic final course. And paying tribute to this legendary haunt where food and love co-mingled, Off the Menu: The Last Days of Chasen's looks at the celebrities, their romances, and the glorious food that brought them together.

In classic Sunset Boulevard style, Chasen's pampered the biggest names of Hollywood's Golden Age. Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart were regulars; Ronald Reagan proposed to Nancy there; Dean, Sammy, and Frank made it their second home. And when it came time to say goodbye, a new generation of celebrities bid it a fond farewell - stars like Sharon Stone, Quentin Tarantino, Jay Leno, and Madonna.

Directed with wit and panache by filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, Off the Menu offers delicious insight into the last vestige of filmdom's glamorous past - the dining mecca of the famous and a style of living too rich even for Hollywood.
