In this series, Gabriel is sweet and handsome as 'Le Chef Hot', a model chef, the dish the ladies fancy ("half the women in Paris" now follow him on Instagram) and not much of a restaurateur! - as he cannot even decide on the colour of his restaurant. He needs hands holding and Emily and Camille are, of course, at hand.
The food looks good and proudly French in artistic dressing, le présentation parfait, but the tables look bare and undressed? Tablecloths, candles, and flowers would make the place look more like a restaurant serving first class food, rather than as a side cafe.
The man in charge, who is both decisive and suave is Antoine. He is a perfect gentleman to Mindy, referring to her as a beautiful lady. Ladies like a man in charge, one who is successful but not arrogant and horrid to others. He also likes hot, sexy nightclubs which is what he wants to turn the restaurant into. He's the boss, and is Gabriel happy about the whole situation? Watch and see.
Ah, what are friends for? I think Darren Star and all the producers who made this series should have joined in as special guests, as they are clearly enjoying the drama dish they created. Bon appétit, mes amis.
