Vision Films and Jay Silverman Productions will be releasing the romantic culinary movie "Off the Menu" on Feb. 6 on DVD and VOD. The movie was directed by Jay Silverman and was shot on location in New Mexico.
The story is about Joel, the heir to a Mexican fast food franchise. He reluctantly accepts a mission to find new ideas for their menu in New Mexico. The location is a small, dusty town where foodies travel from all over to salivate over the culinary treats of a local, authentic, and feisty chef Javiera. Well, opposites attract in this film about romance, food, and family.
