Feisty young food blogger Gabi is desperate for a job. When she finds out wealthy tech entrepreneur Josh needs a personal chef, she wants the position. But Gabi must prove herself to Josh's aide, Elliot, who would rather have his boss hire a famous chef. Gabi gets help from best friend Sofia and Josh's housekeeper, Yolanda, in order to turn the opportunity into employment ... and maybe love. Written by Sabrina Rivera
First-off, Young & Hungry is a shameless knock-off of 2 Broke Girls but it lacks the sharp edge of 2 Broke Girls. I find myself watching Young & Hungry because it is a harmless, feel-good piece of comedic fluff. The characters are quirky and like-able. The sits of the sit-com are funny.
BUT ...
I have actually worked the jobs depicted in this series (private cook, cleaning staff, etc.) and these jobs SUCK. Often being a private cook means sacrificing your own social life to work split shifts and generally be available on nights, weekends, and any other time the employers are having a social occasion. Add to that an incredible amount of stress b/c I have never met a quirky likable millionaire like the boss on this show.
If I block-out the reality of working as domestic help for the uber-rich ... I can have a few mindless laughs and pretend its all in good fun. I sort of hate myself for liking this show at all ... but until 2 Broke Girls comes out with their new season ... it's all I got.
