The concept remains the same: a mysterious late night restaurant owner everyone calls Masters, behind his counter, either cooks or listens to his customers while smoking. Each episode is a complete story about a customer and those stories are all about daily life struggles: family, friends, relationships, work. There are some recurring characters who just sit there and give their opinions about the story being told.

I love this type of series which manages through a simple short story to teach us universal lessons about love, friendship, honesty and sincerity. All through food, the feeling those dishes provoke, the memories they evoke, and the solutions they bring. The food is comfort, the dishes are home where the characters feel at ease and happy. When they have problems, that dish helps them focus and find a solution to move forward.

I love the unusual (for me!) music. Nice touch were those alley musicians telling the episode's story through song.
