Waffle Street

Waffle Street (2015) is a comedy-drama based on a true story, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Jimmy Adams once moved billions at a hedge fund, then lost the job in a single day.

Rather than sit idle, the former fund VP takes work waiting tables at a 24-hour diner whose signature dish is, naturally, waffles. The kitchen comes with a grill master named Edward, an ex-con who hands Jimmy the kind of blunt lessons about money and life that no Wall Street mentor ever offered. James Lafferty leads, with Danny Glover lending warmth as the cook who shows him the ropes. Drawn from the memoir of a real financier who swapped his suit for an apron, the film keeps a gentle tone and skips the easy moralizing. A low-key story about a fall that turns into a breather.
