"The Israeli-Jewish side of his family calls him Avram. The Palestinian-Muslim side Ibrahim. His first-generation American agnostic lawyer parents Abraham. But the 12-year-old kid with a blog from Brooklyn just prefers, well, Abe. Abe, a foodie who loves to cook, has never had a birthday dinner without a fight about politics and this year, on his twelfth birthday, things could not have been much worse. Feeling hungry and dispirited Abe sneaks away to a late-night food festival and chances upon the 'Mix It Up' Pop-Up run by Chico, an Afro-Brazilian chef from Bahia, who quit the high-end restaurant world to bring his special brand of fusion cuisine to the streets. " nd that's not all! While Abe's parents Amir and Rebecca recognize Abe's talent and interest, they react in typical lame parent fashion: they sign him up for a summer cooking camp that does not quite appeal to him. The whipsmart Abe has other ideas, however, and turns to Chico for mentorship. In the film's first trailer, the disconnect between his family is apparently apparent - though, admittedly, it seems quite amusing - and it's clear that Abe is about to whip something up amazing.
