Plot Synopsis

Top TV chef David Adjey knows the restaurant business inside out, and he is determined to give amateur restaurateurs a fighting chance at success -- for opening night and beyond. With their life savings on the line and often very naive expectations, David uses unorthodox teaching techniques to identify problems and devise a plan to help these culinary newbies: a pair of former university friends looking for their next great adventure; an ex-nightclub promoter eager to transfer his skills into the restaurant business; an owner who has hired a strict vegetarian as his head chef; and many more amateur restaurateurs.
