美食雜誌主編Charles Duchemin(Louis de Funes)具有天賦異稟的嗅覺和味覺,食物經他的鼻子一聞、嘴巴一品,是否真如傳說中美味便可得知。為了讓讀者品嚐到真正可口的食物,他常喬裝打扮潛入各大飯店、旅館品嚐食物,好的,他會在雜誌上極力推薦,差的,則痛快罵之。因此,他成了飯店、旅館老闆眼中的魔鬼,卻也是讀者心中的上帝。因為年事已高,Charles Duchemin很想讓在嗅覺和味覺上也有超人天賦的兒子Gerard Duchemin(Coluche)子承父業,無奈後者只對馬戲感興趣,經常瞞著他去馬戲團做小丑,笑話於是迭出。但一位妄想吞沒法國餐飲業的快餐大亨令父子兩人最終聯起手來。

With the help of some real farmers, oodles of fertilizer and government aide, and some genetically modified seeds, the friends manage to grow one acre of corn.

In the middle of an economic crisis, in the shadow of Wall Street, an institution that represents a less well-known American tradition is booming. The Park Slope Food Coop: a cooperative supermarket where all 16,000 members work 3 hours per months to earn the right to buy the best food in New York at incredibly low prices. The success of this cooperative is a bad new for capitalism and aggro-alimentary business, and an opportunity to change the food production and distribution systems. We will see what has become of the Park Slope Food Coop, now a well-rooted institution in the heart of Brooklyn: the way it functions, its hundreds of rules, the diversity and eccentricity of its members. We'll see how the culture that has been created at the coop gives its members daily visceral lessons in democracy, how this could represent a potential change in mentality for Americans faced with increasingly difficult economic times.
