Documents a tiny family-owned and run Greenwich Village establishment that has become a neighborhood institution. Shopsin's is the quintessential New York restaurant, inhabited by the equally prototypical New York chef, Kenny. The Falstaff of his domain, Kenny is a person who can definitely be called a "character." Irascible and intermittently brilliant, he started cooking to earn a few extra bucks and now makes more than nine hundred different items, including hundreds of soups and ethnic comfort food of every variety, from matzoh brie to postmodern pancakes. But his culinary legerdemain is only half of what you get when you enter his domain, and heaven help you if it's with a group of five. A true kitchen philosopher, Kenny's observations about life, politics, food, and sex give this film a vitality that doesn't let up. But after 35 years, Shopsin's has lost its lease and must face a difficult decision.
