After a classically French-trained Korean chef has a meltdown on the biggest live cooking competition show on the planet, she loses everything: her rising fame, fortune, restaurant, fiancé, parent’s support, self-respect, and even her appetite for cooking. Having nowhere else to turn, she finds herself accepting a job washing dishes and bussing tables at her Aunt and Uncle’s failing restaurant in the heart of Koreatown. It’s here where–for the first time in her life–she falls in love with her culture and learns to cook with sohn-maatt … one bite of kimchi at a time.
