Cigalon

Cigalon Alexandre Arnaudy manages a restaurant in a small town in Provence A chef with a high opinion of his past culinary achievements he makes no effort to attract customers and is rude to those who venture into his establishment expecting to be fed To Cigalon gastronomy is the greatest of all the arts and so he is naturally aghast when a former laundress named Madame Toffi Marguerite Chabert opens a restaurant next door to his Madame Toffi does not share his elevated notions and intends to serve meals to the general public an appalling prospect While Cigalons restaurant remains empty Madame Toffis is always busy To prove hes the better chef Cigalon must now start catering to the whims of paying customers or be forced out of business
