杰克(布莱德利·库珀 Bradley Cooper 饰)在味觉和厨艺上有着惊人的天赋,可是,放纵的个性和糜烂的生活让这份天赋毫无用武之地,直到陷入了人生的低谷之时,杰克才察觉,如果不能改过自新重新振作,那么他的一辈子可能都要浪费在为别人煮意大利面这样毫无建树的事情上面了。

Now the Montecito has been sold to inexperienced young widow-heiress Monica Mancuso, who had it thoroughly renovated, Ed who stayed on as general manager is worried about the top-secret reopening, especially after two recent hold-ups in Indian casinos, but Monica refuses any delay so he can work in new staff. Most old key personnel has left. Danny now heads his late dad's contracting company McCoy Construction, but accepts to return as Ed's right hand, and rehires Mike -who was parking valet- and Sam, whose clients were deserting her, only Ed's daughter refuses. The boys soon find proof the construction crews have been infiltrated as there are at least two officially dead men and computer chips have been planted to cause a blackout one minute after the grand reopening starts, far more sophisticated then in either Indian casino heist.
