Chef extraordinaire Gina
Foxton doesn't expect anything to be handed to her on a
platter. After years of hard work, the former runner-up Miss
Teen Vidalia Onion is now the host of her own local Georgia
public television show called Fresh Start, and she's
dating the show's producer.
But when her show gets
canceled—and she catches her boyfriend in flagrante delicto
with the boss's wife—Gina realizes that she's meant for
bigger and better things. Namely, a gig on national
television.
The Cooking Channel is looking for its
next big star, and Gina is certain that she fits the bill.
Trouble is, the execs also have their eyes on Mr. "Kill It
and Grill It" Tate Moody, the star of a hunting, fishing,
and cooking show named Vittles. Tate is the ultimate
man's man, with a dog named Moonpie and a penchant for
flannel shirts. He's also a tasty side of beef with a
swooning female fan base. All Gina has on her side are a
free-spirited, college-dropout sister and a mother who calls
every single day.
Little does Gina know,
though, that she and Tate are soon to embark on the cook-off
of their lives, spiced up by a little ingredient called
love.
