Mystery Woman Sleuth
Join AMBROSIA BOURGEOIS, the New Orleans Goddess of
Gastronomy, as she uses food to seduce men and it converts
them into the perfect guy. She attempts to perfect her
craft by using traditional recipes from her deceased
grandmother and occasionally consulting her mysterious
aunt. Though she gets rescued from her home after
Hurricane Katrina, it temporarily foils her plans of
finding true love. For a moment, she thinks that she will
start a new life with her youthful neighbor Marcus, but
instead they go their separate ways. She ends up on an
airplane heading to a mystery location, her final
destination – Rockville, Maryland. After spiritual cleansing, she decides to find and
purchase a permanent home in Fairfax, Virginia to regain a
since of normalcy. Soon she resorts back to using food to
seduce men in hopes of creating Mister Right. Ambrosia
knows what to cook Memphis – some Maryland Chicken. She
uses celery seed to reduce his cockiness and garlic powder
to raise his desire for her. The concoction makes him
sick. It did not matter to her; she did not foresee a
future with him anyway. Ambrosia’s beauty mesmerizes Jackson Cooper, so he
approaches her. To impress him, she talks about taking the
Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). When he takes her to
Union Station for a date at a popular Southern-style
restaurant, she finds herself hobbling down the streets of
the capitol with a twisted ankle. Lucius Delight, an Executive Chef, has a goal of opening a
restaurant some day. He and Ambrosia hit it off on their
first date – despite their previous encounters – and
Ambrosia ends up making him a French toast casserole for
breakfast. This begins their dating relationship. The
potion works this time. Or does it? Ambrosia’s LSAT scores get her into law school. To give
her a break from studying, Lucius invites her to his house
for dinner. She freaks out because she never had a man
cook for her. It subsides long before he presents her
with a roundtrip ticket to New Orleans – the perfect place
to consummate their relationship and to divulge his
secret. After she graduates from Georgetown Law School, Lucius
surprises her with an engagement ring. What does she say
to his proposal? Is she ready for a life-long commitment?
Is he the perfect mate for her or does he lack something?
The Food Enchantress dishes up a mouth-watering treat
connected by Ambrosia’s continuing quest for both love and
culinary perfection.
