Plot
Two best friends enter a cook off challenge to save their restaurant. Zanjoe Marudo as Ronnie and chef restaurateur Empoy Marquez as Benjie have been best friends since high school. When Benjie decided to put up his own restaurant La Luna Sa Hungry, Ronnie has never left his side especially now that Benjie has joined in the shady "Kusina King Challenge" to save the restaurant. Benjie and Ronnie have a falling out when Ronnie has wrongly given Benjie's startup money for the challenge to a scammer. Things then go out of proportion with Ronnie accidentally placing Benjie in a coma.[4][5]
