The Cooks(2004)

The Cooks is an Australian drama series that aired for one season on Network Ten in 2004–05. The show centers on the rivalry and romance between staff at two neighboring restaurants: R&R's, run by chefs Rita and Ruth with waitress Carmelita, and Snatch and Grab across the street, where chefs Gabe and Sachin work alongside a dishwasher. Tensions simmer as egos clash and relationships develop in the close-quarters world of professional kitchens. A spin-off of the 2003 telemovie Temptation, The Cooks was produced by Penny Chapman and Sue Masters, with direction from Tony Tilse, Ian Gilmour, Brendan Maher, and Ian Watson.
