Description: In 1995, legendary Los Angeles restaurant Chasen's shuttered its doors after 60 years of serving its famous chili (among other entrees) to movie stars, dignitaries, presidents and the pope. During its two final weeks, Chasen regulars, management and staff (including waiter Tommy Gallagher, a longtime fixture) gave interviews where the anecdotes flowed as freely as the wine. It's all here in this amazingly candid, affectionate documentary.
