Carmy Berzatto, a once-prominent chef in New York City, abandons his career to take over the family's struggling sandwich shop in his hometown of Chicago after a life-altering call.
Sydney Adamu, a chef and new mother, faces ruin when her life in New York falls apart, forcing her to return to Chicago with nothing but her baby and an empty bank account.
As fate would have it, their paths cross. With Carmy looking for a sous and Sydney in need of a place to stay, what starts out as a simple arrangement turns into an unexpected partnership where both of them fulfill each other in ways they haven't experienced before.

Summary
Sydney crashes at Carmy’s hotel room after neither of their restaurants make the ‘World’s 50 Best Restaurants’ list.
Why’d you agree to come?
I didn’t really make the decision to come. Not consciously. It just happened. Just felt natural, I guess. For me to be here. For us to be mourning our losses together.

Summary
Sydney’s fucking beautiful. Probably the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen.
In some of her photos she has big curly hair, some of the photos in pretty braids. In all of them she’s wearing a bright smile, huge brown eyes that he can’t look away from. Even her teeth are fucking cute, when the fuck has he ever said that?
Has to be worth something. Carmy shrugs and swipes right.
It takes about an hour but there’s a ping on his phone while he’s watching Kitchen Nightmares.
(1) New Match!

Summary
In all honesty, Sydney should have connected the dots from the beginning.
Olivia Berzatto has been her student for nearly a month and a half now, and she learned early on that the girl lived with her dad, and that her dad was a chef. How many chefs named Berzatto did Sydney know of?
“Carmen,” he says, his hand extended to her. “I’ve heard rave reviews.”
“Likewise,” Sydney blurts.
OR: which is worse; falling for your daughter's first grade teacher, or falling for the father of one of your students?

Summary
Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—
It made her ache, to be thought of like that.
Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.
