Open Road has released eight new images from Chef, written and directed by Jon Favreau.  Favreau also stars as Carl Casper, a chef who loses his job and opens a food truck with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara), his friend (John Leguizamo), and his son (Emjay Anthony) to recapture his artistic promise.  After years of big-budget fare like Iron Man and Cowboys & Aliens, Favreau is scaling back for his latest effort---well, except for the cast.  Scarlett Johansson, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, and Robert Downey, Jr. co-star.

Chef premieres at SXSW in March before hitting theaters May 9.  Check out the images after the jump.

Here's the official logline:

“Chef” is the story of Carl Casper (Favreau), who loses his chef job and cooks up a food truck business in hopes of reestablishing his artistic promise.  At the same time, he tries to reconnect with his estranged family.
