When a ruthless food critic shows up in this small town-and ends up staying at the B&B-all the chefs' are in a dither. Janice, a friend and owner of a restaurant, is beside herself. She convinces Donna to follow this food critic--that didn't work our too well. All Donna manages is to get stopped by her policeman friend!
Now Donna has her brother and sister-in-law helping out at the B&B but has NEVER even invited her mother to come see it. Well she becomes desperate, calls Mom and asks for help! Her Mom is quite the character and between helping--tries to set Donna up with men--she wants grandchildren! She also thinks that Donna's friend the police officer is dragging his heels and feels that making him jealous might------Donna is pretty sure the only reason this guy hangs around is for her cooking.

Now, that mom’s foot is in the door, she won’t leave and is determined to help Donna with the inn and her love life. The first thing they need to do is find the missing critic, right after their double date.
