Cast
Plot
Restaurant owner Riva refuses to let his chef Carl Casper's creative juices flow, giving him an ultimatum - either cook the dishes on the menu or leave. Although Carl sticks to the menu, bad reviews criticising his lack of creativity result in a Twitter war and he loses his job. With the help of his friend Martin, gorgeous ex-wife Inez and son Percy, Carl renovates a knackered food truck and starts making the simple, scrumptious grub he’s always dreamed of; rediscovering his passion for cooking, family and friends along the way. Nowhere near as saccharine as I’ve implied, this is a fun, light of touch comedy drama….with yummy food.
