清朝末年，四川國營餐館菊下樓將舉行新任大廚繼位之爭，劉昴星是已逝的前任大廚阿貝的兒子，他的對手是阿貝叛逃的徒弟紹安，在麻婆豆腐對決中，劉昴星擊敗紹安贏得大廚之位，但他按照比賽評審李提督的建言前往廣州南鮮酒家持續精進。劉昴星拜該餐館的副料理長丁油為師，認識師傅的獨生女梅麗、並結交師兄三傑。在劉昴星協助三傑克服過去的障礙後，三傑回到故鄉上海。 一日，法國大廚巴傑魯造訪廣州並貶低中國料理，憤怒的劉昴星與他進行炒飯對決並擊敗了他，巴傑魯心有不甘、縱火燒燬南鮮酒家。為重建餐館，劉昴星參加廣州餃子大賽取得優勝及獎金，餐館重建更名為陽泉酒家。劉昴星依據餃子大賽評審朗文大師的建議參加特級廚師測驗，他在測驗中結交了與自己水準相當的好對手蘭飛鴻，與他一起通過測驗，成為中國史上最年輕的特級廚師。在測驗中發現自己實力尚淺的劉昴星展開修行，他造訪廣西、貴州及雲南的城鎮精進廚藝，旅途中收了四郎為徒。
