Starting from scratch never tasted so good.
Carl Casper is an acclaimed chef with a family life that seems as decaying as his artistic freedom. Those frustrations boil over into a confrontation against a restaurant critic. Now with his career ruined, Carl’s ex-wife offers an unorthodox solution in Miami: refit an old food truck to offer quality cooking on his own terms. Now with his young son, Carl takes a working trip across America with that truck to rediscover his gastronomic passion.
