The New York Times called Fully Committed “immensely entertaining, a richly comic affirmation of everything I've ever heard, or suspected, about the bad behavior that good food can inspire.”  Featuring one actor playing more than 40 characters, Fully Committed takes place in a famed restaurant where patrons will stop at nothing to secure a reservation— including coercion and bribes.  
 
Television and film star Maulik Pancholy plays Sam, who works the reservation line.
