Jackie Oh has no interest in being the next model minority for her parents. Her dream is to compete on Burn Off, the cooking show that her and her grandparents watch after they work at Melty's, their NYC deli in Midtown, and become a famous chef. Then Jackie gets recruited to audition for a Teen version of the show and she enters a cutthroat competition where she has to expand her horizons and learn how to ask for help when she needs it.
