The narrative revolves around two renowned chefs, Phong and Bon, who are known for their exceptional culinary skills. Phong, a famous chef known for making even simple dishes delicious, opens seven restaurants after the king's sudden good reputation. Bon, a chef from England, is known for his delicious meals and eye-catching presentation style.
One day, Bon and Phong engage in a culinary duel over a grouper. Bon insists on cooking it, claiming it can only be delicious if Phong cooks it. The two then prepare a dish using the grouper, with Phong using fermented tofu sauce and green onions, while Bon uses spices, blood oranges, carrots, and onions. They both marinate the fish, grill it on high heat, and then wrap it for half an hour.
After the duel, Bon opens a luxurious restaurant opposite Phong's restaurant, drawing all the customers. The president of the Chinese Cuisine Association comes to watch the chaos, causing Phong's lover to bring out pots and pans, leading to a scene. Phong appears and the two face off in the middle of the street.
The culinary chairman then organizes a Food God contest between Phong and Bon. If Phong wins, he gets to keep the restaurant; if he loses, he has to close and let Bon take over. Phong is upset about the traditional Chinese food business being too conservative and the lack of innovation.
The next day, Phong and Bon visit Bon's restaurant to taste his food. Bon serves two eggs with gold inside, and Phong's lover is fascinated by the taste. Bon then serves a dish with boiling water that grows plants inside. Both Phong and Bon are amazed by the dish.
Phong then prepares a dish with premium wagyu beef. He cuts the onions into many short pieces, adds some sesame oil, and then pours in the beef and cooks over very high heat. After 30 minutes, he uses a flamethrower to grill it directly for exactly 1 minute, then cuts it into 3 large pieces to put on the plate with vegetables. He then closes the lid and lights a match to cook the beef with the smoke from the apple wood, making the beef tender and carrying a grassy scent.
In the National cooking contest, Phong prepares a duck dish with all sorts of ingredients, wraps it in a lotus leaf, and grills it. He uses the hilt of a knife to smash the dried duck dish, revealing the Iron Lien of Yunnan. The judges are amazed by the dish and award Phong 8 points, tying him with Bon in the top 37 points.
Bon then prepares a dish with foie gras and decorates it with four beautifully decorated fruits. The judges taste each piece and highly appreciate the match. The head of the jury, however, gives Phong only 8 points, leading to a tie. The head of the jury thinks that Phong's presentation was not clear, so he announces that Bon won the match.
In the World Cuisine Contest, both Phong and Bon participate. They prepare their dishes and the judges taste them. Phong's tofu dish is eaten last, and when the judges taste it, they immediately declare Phong and Bon as the winners. Their dishes are beautifully presented and have a truly delicious flavor.
In the final duel, Phong makes a dish filled with childhood memories for his father, who left him 20 years ago. Bon stays behind to eat and shed tears, and the scene is touching. From that day on, the restaurant has more guests than before, and Phong and Bon form a friendship. The story ends with Phong and Bon helping Khu, and Food Street becoming famous all over the country.
