One street, two restaurants. Five cooks, a feisty maitresse d' and a feral dishwasher. The scene is set for love and war—in the kitchen, and the bedroom. R&R's Restaurant, run by Rita, Ruth and fiery Argentine Carmelita is a chick affair. Across the road at Snatch and Grab, it's Boys' Town, with root rat head chef Gabe, Indian Love God Sachin and the scruffy Dishpig at the sink. Luckily Raffa is there as front of house to water down the testosterone. And so the battle lines are drawn. It's boys vs girls. Friend vs friend. Competition may be tricky, but together The Cooks offer great food, sexual energy and laughs. (13 x 60 min)
