He looks down, faints from fear of heights, and careens into the water below. Worst of all? He knocks over his dish on the way down. So begins The Two-Plate Solution, and it only gets better from there. Follow a diverse cast of young talented chefs as they compete in a high-stakes TV cooking competition set in Israel.
