“Très Bíen: The Big Heart Of The Big Kitchen” tells the story of Judy Forman, who, in 1980 bought the The Big Kitchen — a diner in the Golden Hill area of South Park. Judy, a vibrant personality, was a trained social worker and The Big Kitchen quickly turned into a community sanctuary for social justice and activism, as well as a mecca for artists, locals, politicians, feminists, eccentrics and the gay community.
The documentary tells the story of Judy’s life while capturing her unique, vivacious personality and worldview — as well the people whose lives have been affected by her compassion and commitment to community. The film is a moving testament, chronicling The Big Kitchen’s evolution from local greasy spoon to becoming a San Diego icon.
