Anna Rowan is the hottest young female chef in Chicago. Her restaurant, Tart, is a critics’ favorite, and it’s practically impossible to get a reservation – which is unsurprising, as this is a woman who graduated culinary school in three years, before studying under some of the world’s greatest chefs. Her live-in boyfriend, Tart’s G.M. Byron Smith, is a sharp, sexy, flower-giving food industry veteran whose keen business sense and iron fist keeps Tart thriving. On top of all this, Anna is going to be featured on FoodTube’s highest rated show, Sunday Sneak Attack a show hosted by the charismatic Chef Jordan DeWitt. All in all, Anna’s life sounds pretty damn idyllic.

Well, it’s not.

Byron’s cool veneer has been showing signs of cracking: less flowers, more grouchiness. The hugely successful FoodTube appearance has made it impossible for Anna cook at Tart without being pestered by worshipful foodies. Her sous chef is a substance abusing savant, prone to throwing flinging mirepoix at his line cooks. And the super cute, super sweet, super young waiter Keith Cole is crushing on Anna like she’s never been crushed on before.

Can Anna stay focused on her cooking while under constant scrutiny? Can she balance her life inside and outside the kitchen? And who’s the right guy for her: Her sexy and wealthy boss, the Los Angeles-based celebrity chef, or the big-hearted server? Part The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing and part Kitchen Confidential, Today’s Special is food-drenched romp that will appeal to romantic comedy lovers and foodies alike.
