Synopsis: A Manhattan restaurateur makes the bold decision to boost his struggling eatery's business by putting up the iconic zebra wallpaper made world-famous by the recently shuttered Upper East Side institution, Gino's. His choice sparks controversy when Gino's previous owners, staff and loyal regulars, still hurting over Gino's closing, catch wind of his intentions. In an attempt to answer the complex question, 'What makes a restaurant an institution?', Michael Sparaga's film goes beyond examining this controversy to discuss how diners feel about their beloved restaurants, their memories of not only the food but also their emotional attachments to the restaurants' ambiance, owners and décor.
