「精彩有趣的故事,其中的競爭和親情,手足們一定都能深切體會。」-瑞絲.薇絲朋
位於肯薩斯州的這個迷你小鎮,有著互看不順眼的兩大家族-Moores與Pogociello。說來原因也沒什麼,就是互相在比較家族品牌Mimi’s跟Frannie’s誰是肯薩斯州的炸雞之首!兩家的恩怨之深,堪比羅密歐與茱麗葉。噢!可能也沒有這麼深,畢竟身為Moores一家的Amanda還是嫁給了Frank Pogociello,當然這結果也還是賠上了跟媽媽還有家人間的感情,甚至被禁止踏進Mimi’s半步。被世代仇恨夾在中間的Amanda身心俱疲,為了中止這件事,也為了幫小鎮再度吸引客潮,她決定求救於Food Wars,這個主打餐廳對決,並給予勝者十萬美元獎金作為號召的實境節目。但這個舉動,卻將引起更「雞」烈的戰爭,也引來了Mae Moores的回歸⋯⋯
作為Moores一員,Mae不同於Amanda,早早就決定放棄炸雞,來到紐約闖事業。為自己打造如同近藤麻理惠的形象,成為整理達人,不僅出書還有自己的HGTV節目,不到最後關頭,她才不想回到只有炸雞的小鎮。但偏偏人生就是喜歡莫非定律,在紐約的事業面臨危機,因此,幫助Mimi’s在節目中獲勝,便成為Mae如今的首要目標,或許還能為自己的形象帶來轉機。然而這也迫使她必須挺身而出,對抗Amanda⋯⋯當兩大家族的恩怨搬上了電視檯面,姊妹倆是否真的會大打出手呢?

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK "A charming, hilarious, feel-good story about the kind of bonds & rivalries only sisters can share. Also, a great present for your sister for the holidays!!"--Reese Witherspoon Three generations. Two chicken shacks. One recipe for disaster.In tiny Merinac, Kansas, Chicken Mimi’s and Chicken Frannie’s have spent a century vying to serve up the best fried chicken in the state--and the legendary feud between their respective owners, the Moores and the Pogociellos, has lasted just as long. No one feels the impact more than thirty-five-year-old widow Amanda Moore, who grew up working for her mom at Mimi’s before scandalously marrying Frank Pogociello and changing sides to work at Frannie’s. Tired of being caught in the middle, Amanda sends an SOS to Food Wars, the reality TV restaurant competition that promises $100,000 to the winner. But in doing so, she launches both families out of the frying pan and directly into the fire. . . The last thing Brooklyn-based organizational guru Mae Moore, Amanda’s sister, wants is to go home to Kansas. But when her career implodes, helping the fading Mimi’s look good on Food Wars becomes Mae’s best chance to reclaim the limelight--even if doing so pits her against Amanda and Frannie’s. Yet when family secrets become public knowledge, the sisters must choose: Will they fight with each other, or for their heritage?
