Through twitter and facebook, the masses are alerted to the next FG experience, and there the DJ of Cuban sandwiches himself, Fidel Gastro entertains, feeds and engages his ever-growing fan base, as we lick our chops and capture it all. From self-hosted events in the middle of a museum to overnight bush parties, Rebel Without a Kitchen is completely imbedded with Matt, his friends and his family on this frenetic adventure. We watch as Matt learns just what it takes to keep the sandwiches hot, stay one step ahead of city hall, keep the love of his life by his side, and stay grounded - on this entrepreneurial dream opportunity.
