The first time I made Lub,
I was 15 years old
and it was with a boy in my class
named Toby.
We were at a bonfire on the beach,
and we snuck away
behind the breakwater
to discover one another.
I could smell the smoke from the fire in his hair,
and the salt from the cold ocean water nearby.
For me, these are smells of passion.
Food
has these smells because food is passion.
Food is
freedom.
Food is liberation.
Food is sex.
(intense music)
(gentle music)
Tonight is our monthly banquet, and rather than having
a restaurant that's open every night,
and people are wandering in whenever,
we say,
"Come in
at this time
on this night."
"Sit with us."
"Be with us."
(gentle music)
(preparing the meat)
- Oh
- Ooh
- Ohh,
(kissing)
- Cards on the table,
its an orgy
(kissing and moaning)
- (Tommy) and people show up
they eat good food and
everybody gets nasty and hits the hay.
(laughing)
I mean it's incredible!
Fresh produce, great wine
and a few orgasms? Pshht..
Get the heck out of here.
That's awesome.
- (Frankie) Full is a garden of
sensual experience
the fay of earthly adrenaline
a restaurant
with no silverware
because we eat off each other's genitals
- For a number of years,
Laura was a member of a commune
in southern Argentina.
She ran the kitchen
I think it was a sex cult.
- I didn't even know that I had a passion
for cooking
but when I saw the communal nature of it
how it brings people together
how
putting soft items in our mouths
heals bodies and souls for all eternity
how powerful it is to
lock eyes with someone as they
say
"oh, yeah, uh-huh, mhmm, mhmm,
right okay
right
oh"
(laughing)
(deep breath in)
"oh my, mmhm, mmhm, (breaths in) Mmmhm!"
what were you saying?
- I mean, it was definitely a sex cult.
(gentle music)
- (voiceover)At the commune, I was working with vishmanger
who brought me
the most beautiful red snapper filets.
She was impressed with my cooking and
(deep breath in)
and she had amazing shoulders
I had always thought in terms
of the communal
I'd never reserve love for just one person
but suddenly,
I was head over heels.
For once, I was focused on one person.
She was my world
but it didn't last long
(gloomy music)
she was
eaten by a whale
that is how she always wanted to die.
Which I guess is nice, but
it still hurt
and I felt empty
(crying) how was I ever going to mend
that whole in my heart?
How was I gonna get back to my old
way of being?
How was I ever gonna feel full again?
And that is how the concept
of Full came to be.
I needed to answer my calling
I needed to reconnect with community
to
to fill my void with people
and pleasure.
- Laura, came out of a sad life event
and now has a lot of sex
to feel less lonely.
I don't think it's more than that.
- There's no bounds to her bafound and brilliant
genius
and that includes her first signature dish
called Savage Desire.
(happy music)
I scorn the typical dining experience
the stuffy table settings,
the individual placemats
it's so inhibiting.
When you dine with me
(voice over) I want you to dine with me,
not dine at me.
No one is ever alone at Full.
(happy music)
(intense music)
- It's just meat
I don't even know what kind of meat
I think it's ribs,
but no one ever said ribs, so
it could be anything.
(moaning)
(intense moaning)
- Believe it or not
that's just a taste of
Gods of Food

- Hunger, is our body's way of telling us
what we want.
It is my job as a chef
to listen to my body
and to the bodies of those around me.
