Best described as a true life Fawlty Towers - but without Basil. When John is assigned to the kitchens will he be able to cook any better than his dysfunctional family? He's in good company with chefs who can't cook and waiters who don't speak English. A multitude of international guests include a millionaire addicted to pornography; a con man; a strange little man who reads tea leaves and scientologists seeking spiritual fulfilment.
