Three Reasons To Watch Young and Hungry

America’s latest comedy import Young and Hungry comes to E4. The series, which is executive produced by Ashley Tisdale, follows young food blogger Gabi Diamond (Emily Osment) as she is hired by wealthy entrepreneur and self-made millionaire Josh Kaminski (Jonathan Sadowski) to be his new personal chef. At the core of the story is the eccentric Gabi’s (played admirably by Osment) as she struggles to deal with her new boss and navigates her way through relationships, all while the show sports a strong supporting cast. Here’s why you should tune in.

1. Women run the show

Former Hannah Montana star Emily Osment is back on TV. Her character Gabi is a chef whose personal heroine is food icon Julia Child. Her new job as Josh’s personal chef is daunting - she’s never done anything like this before. Her life may be a hot mess but she never gives up on her dreams - even if her job gets complicated because of her romantic feelings for Josh. When she’s given the chance to choose between love and her career, she picks her work. Osment is charming as the fast-talking and fiesty young chef, giving a stand-out performance.

2. The love story is worth caring about

Romance isn’t the sole focus of the show but Gabi and Josh’s on-and-off relationship is fun to watch. But there’s a twist - instead of a cliche will-they-won’t-they, Gabi and Josh get together in the first episode, leading to complicated and definitely awkward situations later on in the series. Young and Hungry could have easily played it safe but the humour tends to skew much more adult than expected.

3. Secondary characters

Unlike other sitcoms, the secondary characters are also worth caring about. Aimee Carrero plays Sofia Rodriguez, Gabi’s best friend and roommate. Carrero plays Sofia with feistiness, and her friendship with Gabi is the heart of the show. Kym Whitley plays Yolanda, Josh’s nosy, loud-spoken, sassy housekeeper while Rex Lee is Elliot Park, Josh’s publicist who openly hates Gabi.

Young and Hungry airs every day on E4, 4-5pm from Monday 14th November.
