Cheng Yidao, a master chef with extraordinary culinary skills, is forced out of the restaurant he founded by his business partner, Zhao Mingyuan, through legal maneuvering. Left with nothing, he starts over at a roadside night-market stall. With a flavor that people can never forget, he gradually proves all his doubters wrong. From a street stall to a humble eatery, from winning a city-level gold medal to becoming a provincial champion, he eventually builds his own restaurant brand, Guo Qi. Meanwhile, Zhao Mingyuan, who once stole everything from him, is investigated and penalized by market regulators for food ingredient fraud and trademark squatting, causing his restaurant empire to collapse.
