Gladys, daughter of fast-food-inclined parents and herself a secret gourmet chef and amateur food critic, is grounded from using the kitchen after a cooking snafu. When a top-rated newspaper mistakenly hires the sixth grader to review a restaurant in NYC, she must slyly find a way there. Friendship (both natural and coaxed) is tastefully explored as Gladys learns how to proudly pursue her passions.
