Chen Fan, a thirty-year-old unemployed man with a seriously ill daughter, in order to make a nutritious meal for his child, fiercely confronts the black-hearted "meal tyrant" Sister Pang who monopolized the community shared kitchen. Pushed to a desperate situation, his hidden God of Cookery bloodline awakens: a bowl of scallion oil noodles conquers all neighbors on the floor, a plate of broken gold fried rice makes the security captain defect on the spot. From being cut off from ingredients and hired thugs running him over with a car, to blindly cutting Wensi tofu with his left hand and using fish scales to boil out Golden Scale Transforming Dragon Soup, he defeats Tianxiang Restaurant head chef Lin Hai at the Culinary King Competition, winning the five-hundred-thousand champion prize to save his daughter. In the end, he opens "Chen's Great Canteen", using a wok spoon to prove: the culinary way is human way, whoever eats standing up can never kneel down.
