Kelly (Ali Liebert) is the producer for hit television show The Little Gourmet which features young children as chefs competing against each other. When show creator and Kelly's mentor, Amanda (Janet Kidder) announces her impending departure from the show, Kelly is excited to be considered as her successor. During the shooting of the first episode, show host Chef Betty (Gabrielle Rose) hurts her back and is put on bed rest. In need of a replacement host, Kelly recommends Chef Stephen Harris (Brett Dalton) who is an inspiration to young chefs but is also known for his hot-headed personality.
Chef Harris is forced to take up the role of show host in an attempt to salvage his reputation and a book deal after a video of him losing his temper at a food critic goes viral and damages his image. As Kelly and Stephen clash, her competitor and colleague, Jeremy Walsh tries his best to win over Stephen to his side and tries to take credit for Kelly's work. However, Kelly and Stephen end up striking a friendship and seeing the better side of each other leading to a Valentine's Day date.
