Tony Koulakis, 63, chef and owner of Montreal's legendary 11-stool greasy spoon Cosmos, has been serving up his famous cholesterol-loaded all-day breakfasts since the late 1960s without taking a single vacation. Now, one year before retiring, Tony places his beloved Cosmos in the trust of his three children, and returns -- for the first time in three decades -- to his birthplace village, Drapanias, on the mythical, sun-drenched island of Crete. This film documents the long-deserved journey home of the man known as the God of the Potatoes. It also examines the culture of his restaurant through interviews with his legion of devoted customers.
