When Chef Carl Casper suddenly quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after refusing to compromise his creative integrity for its controlling owner, he is left to figure out what’s next.

Taking to the road, Chef Carl goes back to his roots to reignite his passion for the kitchen – and zest for life and love.
