Plot Synopsis

Based on the life of the San Francisco food blogger at BrokeAssGourmet.com, YOUNG & HUNGRY is a half-hour sitcom that follows Gabi Diamond, a self-taught cook, who becomes the personal chef for Josh Kaminski, a self-made millionaire. Outrageous, good-hearted and charismatic, Gabi has a true gift not only for cooking, but for figuring out what it is people really want to eat. She's willing to work hard to make her dream of becoming a professional chef a reality, and she's thrilled when she gets the chance to be the personal chef for Josh. Josh is a cute and charming dot-com whiz, but his smarts and sweetness have often gotten in his way when it comes to love, especially with his girlfriend, Caroline. But Josh is in the market for a personal chef, and Gabi landed an interview for her dream job. Josh is won over by Gabi's ability to know exactly what he wants to eat and hires her, even though his right hand man, Elliott, preferred a famous chef for the job. Gabi must first prepare a romantic meal so Josh can propose to Caroline. When the dinner goes awry -- and Josh and Gabi get a little closer than they anticipated -- Gabi fears she may have lost the best job she ever had, but with the help of her best friend and roommate Sofia and Josh's housekeeper Yolanda, Gabi turns a difficult situation into an opportunity for employment and maybe even love. Gabi's roommate, Sofia, is determined to do more than fetch coffee for the senior partners at her firm, and she's thrilled about Gabi's potential job with Josh because it means she'll have access to his insanely wealthy circle of potential clients. At Josh's home, Gabi works with: Elliot, Josh's publicist and right-hand-man, who makes no secret of his disdain for Gabi, especially after Josh hires her against his wishes; and Yolanda, Josh's housekeeper, who admires Gabi's spirit and will have her back even while Elliot schemes to kick Gabi to the curb.
