David Gelb, the acclaimed director known for "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" and the Netflix series "Chef's Table", recently spoke at the Culinary Institute of America's event in Napa. He noted how "Jiro" unexpectedly revealed deeper human stories rather than just focusing on sushi craftsmanship. The event supports scholarships for culinary students, showcasing CIA at Copia's vibrant community. Jiro Ono, at 99, continues to inspire as a culinary legend. The article also mentions the accessible dining options in Napa, emphasizing that visitors can enjoy great food without high expenses.
"This movie, and I didn't even realize this when I started it, became so much more about people than it was about sushi itself," Gelb said of Jiro after the film ended.
At 99, Jiro still hasn't really retired, and remains an international hero.
The audience learned during the screening and post show izakaya tasting that events like Reel Taste support scholarships for the student body.
CIA at Copia is a beautiful place worth seeing; the campus maintains a full calendar of events that are open to the public.
