What do the French do better than food, sex and wine? French Chef, JEAN SEBASTIEN GENTIL, single­handedly runs the acclaimed Chez JeanSe’ in a small quirky village in Provence with his sous vide expertise proving his love and a French version of ambition to his American muse, AIMEE TALBOT, a successful corporate executive he lured from Paris into the restaurant business with him, while each of their mothers work in opposition to break them up or get them married, but it takes a village to keep the restaurant afloat and the couple together, when her extortionist “husband” vying for his US citizenship threatens to tell all about their “white wedding” to her beloved chef that could get her deported after their daughter is born.
DRAMEDY: A FRENCH Kitchen Confidential cross between WELCOME TO SWEDEN and LILYHAMMER with a sexy, bi­cultural PARENTHOOD dynamic.
