Description
When the caterer for an office Christmas party cancels at the last minute, a well-known celebrity chef (Tony)steps in to do a favor for his old friend (Charlie) by providing the food. While in town, the chef decides to buy an old diner and transform it into a fine dining restaurant. Problems arise when people aren’t thrilled with the changes, and the reviews from a local food critic (Charlie’s sister, Sara) aren’t helping.
As the chef’s new business starts going south, he begins to question his decision and his purpose in life. When Charlie’s young daughter invites him to hear her sing in the Christmas program at church, the song she sings, along with a simple message and conversation with the pastor lead Tony to realize that there is something missing in his life. In a powerful moment, he cries out to God and makes the choice to receive the gift of salvation.
Tony’s relationship with Sara has been improving, and she accepts his invitation for him to cook dinner for her at his restaurant. She loves it. As they talk, in a moment of inspiration, she decides to change the restaurant from fine dining to casual Italian, and he tells Sara he wants her to be a part of it. The inspiration turns into an invitation, and the invitation turns into an engagement.
