Meekhun is a famous food critic. Faced with an enormous debt his mother has amassed, he has no idea how he can possibly fix it. It's hard to see if it's a blessing or a curse when he suddenly finds himself the sole inheritor of his grandfather's restaurant. The restaurant is located on a small island quickly becoming a tourist spot. If he were to sell it, the money would be more than enough to pay off what his mother owes. Nothing is ever so easy, however. There's a caveat. Meekhun will only be permitted to sell the restaurant and the land it sits on when he's run the business for one year. Meekhun's biggest headache, however, is the restaurant's chef his grandfather has specified in his will.
