Storyline

Sassy, streetwise Max works two jobs just to get by, one of which is waiting tables during the night shift at the retro-hip Williamsburg Diner. Sophisticated Caroline is an uptown trust fund princess who's having a run of bad luck that forces her to reluctantly give waitressing a shot. At first, Max sees Caroline as yet another in a long line of inept servers she must cover for, but she's surprised to find that Caroline has as much substance as she does style. When Caroline discovers Max's knack for baking amazing cupcakes, she sees a lucrative future for them, but they first need to raise the start-up money.

User Reviews

I always give a show 2 chances...

...and this one failed both times. I watched this show having seen neither of the leads in anything, so I don't know if they can act, based on this, I'd say no.

To be fair, it could be the absolutely dismal writing. It's a tricky line to find, getting both intelligent and least common denominator humor. This show doesn't seem to be trying for the intelligent part. I curse David Mamet, because he writes everything intelligently, with snappy dialog; unfortunately, every hack with Final Draft on their Mac sitting in a coffee shop thinks snappy=smart and vulgar=funny.

What was the infinite monkey theorem? If a billion monkeys typed for a billion years, one of them would produce the works of Shakespeare.

One of the other Monkeys wrote this tripe.
