The Gourmet, a French film starring Louis de Funes.

Charles Duchemin(Louis de Funès), editor-in-chief of food magazine, has a gifted sense of smell and taste. You can know whether food is really delicious as the legend by smelling it through his nose and tasting it in his mouth. In order to let readers taste really delicious food, he often sneaks into major restaurants and hotels in disguise to taste food. If it is good, he will strongly recommend it in magazines, and if it is bad, he will scold it. Therefore, he became the devil in the eyes of hotel and hotel owners, but also the god in the hearts of readers.

Because of his advanced age, Charles Duchemin really wants his son Gérard Duchemin(Coluche), who is also gifted in sense of smell and taste, to follow in his father's footsteps. Unfortunately, the latter is only interested in the circus, and often goes to the circus to be a clown without telling him, so jokes are repeated. But a fast food tycoon who wants to engulf the French restaurant industry finally brings the father and son together.
