In downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lou works tirelessly to build her beloved yet struggling French restaurant, Luella���s, into a success. She cheerfully balances her demanding business and even more demanding fianc�����until the morning she discovers him in the buff���with an intern. Witty yet gruff British transplant Al is keeping himself employed and entertained by writing scathing reviews of local restaurants in the Milwaukee newspaper under a pseudonym. When an anonymous tip sends him to Luella���s, little does he know he���s arrived on the worst day of the chef���s life. The review practically writes itself: underdone fish, scorched sauce, distracted service���he unleashes his worst. The day that Al���s mean-spirited review of Luella���s runs, the two cross paths in a pub: Lou drowning her sorrows, and Al celebrating his latest publication. As they chat, Al playfully challenges Lou to show him the best of Milwaukee and she���s game���but only if they never discuss work, which Al readily agrees to. As they explore the city���s local delicacies and their mutual attraction, Lou���s restaurant faces closure, while Al���s column gains popularity. It���s only a matter of time before the two fall in love���but when the truth comes out, can Lou overlook the past to chase her future?
