Sim, Chef!

Manel is a young cook from Braga who arrives in the capital to try his luck: to get a job in the Divina Comédia, the most «in» restaurant in Lisbon. With the optimism and the ease that characterize him, Manel thinks that it will be a "piece of cake" but, in fact, the young man did not expect so many difficulties. He'll have to deal with an irascible Chef, naughty fellows, and a sexy, but haughty manager. To know how to cook, it's not enough, he has to have other qualities...

Manel is smart and determined. Carlos, the bartender, is naive and kind. The two will become great friends. Kika does not want to take risks, she feels that the involvement she had with Manel can hurt her and wants to fire him. Meanwhile, the Chef loses his "pet knife" and refuses to cook until they find it. With so much confusion, it seems that nothing will go well. But when you least expect it ... everything is solved!

Manel has already realized that his work in the Divina Comédia is not a bed of roses. To test him, the Chef entrusts him with boring and discrediting tasks, has him unload vegetables and kill a duck. Kika faces the harsh reality: the man she's in love with isn't, after all, who she'd like him to be. And the Chef discovers that the banquet he is preparing is in honor of the judge who seized his driver license. The mess settled in the restaurant and from the kitchen to the living room, no one escapes!

The Chef gives a mission to Manel: cook for the staff. The task seems easy, but nothing is simple in the Divina Comédia. The lunch will be complicated, thanks to the pranks of Fanã and Samu. Make their young colleague's life miserable, is the favorite "dish" of this pair. The Chef searches among the staff for the cook who went to an interview with Paraíso (the new restaurant across the street) and wants to fire the traitor. Carlos is in love with Tania, but because he has no courage to set a date with her, he asks his friend (Manel) for help. But things go wrong and Manel wins a fame he does not deserve.

Carlos is hurt. He thinks that Manel betrayed him with Tania and stopped talking to him. Fanã also suspects about Manel and invites him to a "fish duel", in order to find the best cook. Of course the Chef, who does not like to lose at all, will do everything to ensure the subordinate that he has bet on is the winner (regardless of the fairness).

With the unexpected arrival of a sanitary inspector, the confusion settles in the Divina Comédia. Kika gets angry, she hates being caught in infractions. The Chef devalues the situation. He thinks that in one way or another, everything is solved. Manel and Carlos get in trouble when they realize they threw away a lot of truffles. Only Rodrigo Boavida, the neighborhood's homeless, can help.
