The Drama Unfolds in Merinac
This week, Merinac is buzzing after the premiere of *Ultimate Kitchen Clash*. Sisters Amanda and Mae are thrown back together when a reality show rolls into town, stirring up old rivalries between their restaurants.
Amanda’s got her hands full with her daughter Frankie, who’s mortified by pretty much everything. Frank Jr. doesn’t hold back with his mom, Nancy, either.
Shawna, the town’s social media queen, persuades Gus to try out *the ‘gram* to fix her image woes. Meanwhile, Sabrina is shocked to find out that Mae—supposedly an organization expert—can’t even keep her own wedding plans straight.
Sabrina decides she’s got to step in. And as if that’s not enough, Gus’s past shows up on her doorstep, tossing more drama into the mix.
Meet the Cast
The cast is a fun blend of familiar faces and some fresh energy. Schuyler Fisk brings Amanda to life with real charm.
Genevieve Angelson plays Mae, who’s definitely got her work cut out for her. Lea Thompson steps in as Nancy, the family matriarch, and Wendie Malick’s Gus is always good for a laugh or a wise word.
