Fang Yan, a twenty-eight-year-old night market barbecue stall owner, has struggled to make ends meet for four years of vending, finding himself strapped for cash after a stall fee hike. Accompanying a friend to scavenge a meal at a hotel culinary competition, he accidentally sits in the chief judge's seat. Relying on solid experience deeply rooted for years in ingredients and seasonings, he publicly exposes chaos such as famous chefs faking pre-made sauces and contestants adulterating dishes, slapping the three-time champion culinary god in the face three times over. Breezing all the way through professional tastings and live-streaming blind-tasting arenas, the grassroots palate is crowned god, steadfastly guarding the bustling earthly firework of the market, counter-attacking to unlock a brand-new life.
