When Trixie Matkowski agrees to take over her aunt's diner, she pictures lakeside views and delicious comfort food in the small town where she spent summers as a child. But the sweet scene turns sour when someone puts murder on the menu. Trixie is in need of a fresh start away from her cheating ex-husband, but she may be biting off more than she can chew when she moves to upstate New York to run her family's famed Silver Bullet Diner. Not only is she caught off guard by the small towns resident heartthrob Deputy Ty Brisco, but her first health inspection turns into a nightmare when the inspector keels over in his Blue Plate Special. It seems someone made a deadly addition to an old family recipe and Trixie is determined to find out whodunit. But between serving up orders and sniffing out clues she'd better watch her back or her next meal might be her last.
