Life is a feast, served in courses. Like his namesake restaurant’s menu, Chef Frank Brigtsen’s life blends salt and heat, bitter and sweet. Born the son of a decorated WWII hero whose towering legacy was later humbled by illness, Chef Frank Brigtsen tests his mettle beyond his celebrated father’s shadow. In the process, Brigtsen forges his own legacy to become a decorated champion in his own right.

UNDER FIRE: The Story of Frank Brigsten follows this renowned New Orleans culinary icon as he becomes the hero of his own story!
