I was introduced to the series by a friend who enjoys discovering films and series, and was impressed ever since the first episode. I have spent the next few weeks grinding all available episodes while eager to see the next ones coming. This series is not entirely about cooking, it is about life in a first-class restaurant's cooking area and furthermore, life itself. A young man with ambition and talent who had been offered a "position" in the kitchen came to it with hope of becoming the greatest chef in the world before gradually realizing how hard it could turn out. A Bolsevik boss, naughty and materialistic colleagues, and tons of hot chicks - not to mention very related irrelevant strangers - all make up for the twists and solutions of the series. Each season have 20 eps, and each end opens up a new horizon, a new perspective to discover our characters to a deeper level. At the end of each episode is life lesson and sum-up, which makes the 25-minute motion picture even more meaningful to viewers. A must- watch for all age.
