SPEAKING WITH ARIANA DEBOSE

With the release of “House of Spoils” I spoke with Ariana DeBose about her leading role in the film. We talked about her cooking skills and some of the training she got to play the chef. She tells us about how working in the service industry helped her develop her character’s attitude, as well as her struggles. DeBose also shares how she handled being on camera on her own for long periods and why that was the reason this project was attractive to her. It’s a great conversation that you can check out below!

MORE ABOUT “HOUSE OF SPOILS”

An ambitious young chef gets a once-in-a-lifetime offer to open her own restaurant, but her dream job becomes a recipe for nightmares.

Chef (Academy Award ® winner Ariana DeBose) has carte blanche to create a menu for a destination restaurant. Until a series of bizarre events derails a preview dinner for an important critic. With just two weeks to prove herself to her partner Andreas (“Succession’s” Arian Moayed), she and sous chef Lucia (Barbie Ferreira) throw themselves into a frenzy of creativity, but Chef’s dreams are filled with images of a woman she believes once lived in the rambling farmhouse. Tormented by forces she can’t explain, Chef creates a tasting menu inspired by the funk of rotting vegetables and moldy fruit, a meal that both repulses and delights Andreas with its unexpected flavors and textures.
