Theodore Burton was born into a family business, and he is expected to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather before him. But he's never really wanted to be a lawyer. Instead, he has a passion for cuisine that takes him to Paris, the City of Lights, to enroll in Europe's most elite culinary arts school.
Lucile Dupont's dream is to be a chef at Le Meurice, the most opulent restaurant in all of Paris. Her reality, however, is working three jobs in order to pay for a degree in culinary arts that she can't afford.
Lucile isn't ready to see her dreams crash and burn, but she knows that only a miracle can help her pay for her next term at the Paris School of Culinary Arts. Theodore is quickly realising that french cuisine is not just a skill, but an art, and he needs someone to show him the ropes.
He's hopelessly clueless, a little bit charming, and he might just be the miracle Lucile desperately needs.
Life very rarely goes your way, you graduate high school, work your butt off for 4 years to grab a degree thinking you're gonna achieve your post-secondary dreams, only to end up working at some dead end job for what feels like the rest of your life. So when chance gives an opening to pursue a career in the dream job that Raj had aspired for all his life, of course he's going to take it (duh)! Even if it's out of town, in a place that he's never heard of, has no online presence whatsoever, and is filled to the brim with strangeness that no sane person would ever have expected.
But hey, it's all gonna be worth it in the end right? Well Raj sure hopes so.
