Seasoned


A small town chef discovers that she has the magic power of influencing people’s behavior by cooking them certain foods. She uses this skill to finally make the difference she’s always wanted, and begins encouraging politicians and other important officials to dine at her restaurant. She gets into hot water when people begin to catch on and argue that what she’s doing is illegal. Things get increasingly spicy when she realizes that all this time, she’s been eating food prepared for her by her girlfriend, and that perhaps her girlfriend has the same powers and has been steering her for some ulterior motive this whole time.
