Eifel landlady Toni Janssen and her mother Heidi are once again running the Kupferkanne as a team of two. While Heidi's guesthouse is running at full speed, Toni wants to shift down a few gears at her newly renovated country inn. The new name "Kupferkännchen" is intended to stand for a less ambitious concept: home-style cooking for pub guests. However, their new chef Sebastian Holtmann brings the highest culinary standards with him. Not only does he have a lot up his sleeve, but he is also extremely self-confident. Toni is amazed that Sebastian would like to reopen under his own name.
