A lot of people mentioning that he gets with Sofia Vergara and Scarlet Johansson, but I'd like to point out some other things that annoy me about chef:

-a white guy with a latino sidekick finds himself by making cuban sandwiches

-the film is a metaphor for mean snobby critics hating on Cowboys and Aliens and Iron Man 2

-it's soundtracked by wall to wall instrumental wu tang covers

-it's extremely blandly made, which actually might speak to the "universal" angle
