Yes, Chef

Yes, Chef by Grace Reilly serves up a story set against the backdrop of a struggling waterfront restaurant. When a disgraced chef returns home with his future in ruins and a determined influencer arrives with something to prove, sparks fly. As Jack Hartman and Poppy Winfield work side by side to create a restaurant, their partnership becomes increasingly difficult to keep professional. With every challenge, every late-night prep session, and every stolen glance across the kitchen, they're forced to confront a question neither expected: could the recipe they've created together be about more than business? After a public meltdown in the dining room of one of Manhattan’s most elite restaurants, Chef Jack Hartman is back in his South Florida hometown. Angry, grieving, and saddled with the unwanted storefront his late mentor left him, his life is spinning out of control. And that’s before Poppy Winfield, the daughter of his former boss, shows up at his dock. Poppy needs to escape her disapproving family and her reputation as someone who has never taken anything seriously. She wants to prove herself, and she has a plan to do it. That plan involves Jack Hartman. She knows Jack is desperate to come back from his unceremonious firing, so she proposes a deal: working together to open a revamped version of his mentor’s restaurant. He’ll handle the menu, and she’ll use her skill as a social media influencer to sell the grand opening. If she and Jack can make the restaurant a success, it’ll be an accomplishment no one can deny, and a ticket for them both to return to New York. Jack is intrigued, but only on his terms: if Poppy’s going to work for him, she must learn the ropes of the entire business. Including how to cook. From him. As sparks fly both in and out of the kitchen and tensions reach a boiling point, Poppy and Jack are left wondering… could they be a perfect pairing? Or is this whole experiment a recipe for disaster?
