Recap

Best friends Ona and Saule work as chefs at Tasty, a small canteen in Kaunas, always going out of their way to please their customers. One day, Saule signs them up for a televised cooking contest by creating fake restaurant profiles, and they miraculously get in. The unlikely pair are the clear underdogs, struggling to handle even the simplest requests like cooking appetisers. Still, their simple but pitch-perfect dishes get them noticed among the other contestants, and they successfully get through the first rounds supported by adoring fans - that is, until Ona falls for the charismatic French judge Emanuel.
