Stephen Chow is a corrupt celebrity chef who runs a successful business empire. Dubbed the "God of Cookery", he humiliates other chefs in a culinary competition where he appears as a judge, despite knowing very little about cooking himself.<br /><br />Bull Tong, posing as an understudy and conspiring with Chow's business partner, exposes Chow as a fraud and is declared the new "God of Cookery", taking over Chow's empire. Ruined, Chow arrives in Temple Street where he orders a bowl of "assorted noodles" from disfigured food cart vendor Turkey, reveals himself to be the fallen "God of Cookery" and asks her for money. Thugs beat him for his panhandling, but Turkey orders them away, taking pity on Chow and giving him a bowl of barbecue pork on rice, moving Chow to tears.<br /><br />名聲響亮的大廚史提芬周獲得法國廚藝學會所頒發的「食神」榮譽，並身為唐朝飲食集團主席，但目中無人的他忽視用心待人及真材實料的料理本質，時常對周遭的人大呼小叫，態度囂張跋扈，其飲食集團使用的食材也經常偷工減料。大快樂集團老闆為了達成獨霸飲食界的野心，處心積慮要將合作夥伴史提芬周鬥垮。大快樂集團利用史提芬周目中無人的態度，成功將具有中國廚藝訓練學院第105屆畢業生資歷的大快樂大廚唐牛安插到唐朝飲食集團，還成為史提芬周的部下，之後趁唐朝飲食集團第50家分店開張典禮展開暗算，唐牛表露真正身份並發起競技製作車仔麵，史提芬周不但被當眾擊敗，還被告發使用不合規的食材，結果不但「食神」之位被唐牛奪去，史提芬周也因為大快樂集團老闆的陷害而身敗名裂，旗下唐朝飲食集團宣佈破產，之後下落不明。<br />
