The Grand Opening
Joey and Melissa Maggiore are introduced as they open an upscale eatery in Carlsbad, Cal.

Big Dates
With business slowing down at Tommy V's, Melissa and Joey Maggiore set up a speed-dating event featuring aphrodisiac appetizers to attract young, hip clientele. Joey hopes the event will help his shy cousin Jimmy get lucky with the ladies, and the prankster secretly signs his single sister up for the event as well.

Rappin' Restaurant
To create some buzz around their new restaurant, Tommy V's, Melissa Maggiore invites the local movers and shakers to a VIP wine tasting, but her brother Joey's idea is a bit more extravagant: create a special rap video about the restaurant. Joey decides to secretly recruit his cousin Jimmy to help produce the video and play it for the guests during the wine tasting. Will Melissa let it slide if she sees the guests enjoy it, or will Joey's idea completely tank?

Bridezilla And The Lamb
Siblings Melissa and Joey Maggiore have two very important parties to plan for their family: a wedding rehearsal dinner at Tommy V's and a birthday party at Melissa's house. Things fall flat when the future bride decides she wants an over-the-top Mexican fiesta and not the Italian fare the Maggiores prepared. Meanwhile, Joey and Melissa must throw a party for their families, so Joey surprises them with a whole roasted lamb.

Smokin' Joey
While he's proud of his Italian heritage, Joey Maggiore follows his all-American dream of becoming the king of barbeque by entering a local barbecue festival. Before Joey competes, he decides to test his barbecue sauce in front of Tommy V's while Melissa is out of town. Departing from her traditional Italian menu causes Melissa's blood to boil, but she returns to a surprise when customers start raving about Joey's special recipe.

The Big Bet
When Melissa Maggiore can't convince her brother to cook for a private charity dinner, she challenges him to a bet: they'll each create a new dish for Tommy V's menu and their father will decide which dish is best. If Melissa wins, Joey must cook for the charity dinner, and if she loses, she's on dishwashing duty all night. Either way, somebody will end up doing the dirty work.
