Having burned all his bridges in restaurants across Europe, volatile celebrity chef Easton West finds himself with one more chance in a high-end Shanghai restaurant. But when opening night turns into a pig-slinging disaster, the subsequent social media tsunami washes Easton ashore in the Adelaide Hills. Arriving like a pariah to a dysfunctional family he abandoned 30 years previously, he finds his outspoken 19-year-old pastry cook niece, Diana, is the only person who shows any interest in his return. Diana represents everything he's not – young, female and with her finger on the pulse – so Easton takes her under his wing in an effort to crawl his way back to relevance.

I really like Eric Thomson and tried to watch this show, but with all the foul and disgusting language, I had to give up after a few minutes. No thanks.
Why do writers, directors, producers, actors... think they need to use such awful language to make a good program. They don't! But so many do, and, unfortunately, there are people out there who think that sort of language is okay... I don't.
Hopefully, Eric Thomson will star in another show that is nice and "family friendly" - like Packed to the Rafters and 800 Words (THAT one should have continued on and on and on...).
I'm sure I'll get all sorts of ugly and demeaning comments about my thoughts on this, but they will just go to show the depths of ugliness people are willing to go these days. Sad.
I have known too many chefs just like "Jimmy" over the years... this is perfect! (so far)
