Young & Hungry

Two worlds collide when Gabi Diamond, a fearless food blogger, is hired to be the chef for Josh Kaminski, a young tech entrepreneur with money and influence. What begins as a chance to prove herself becomes a clash of styles as Gabi tries to translate her kitchen hustle into Josh's world. She leans on her best friend Sofia and Josh's housekeeper for practical help and moral support, while Josh himself tests her with real kitchen pressure and awkward social expectations. When Josh asks Gabi to prepare a romantic dinner for him and his girlfriend, the night spirals into a game of improvisation and quick thinking. Misstep becomes a showcase for her talent and a doorway to employment and maybe romance.
