Family Business

In "Family Business," Doilie's Diner stands as a cozy, beloved family restaurant, opened in 1955 by its founder, Bennett Doilie. The restaurant is renowned for its delicious homemade recipes and warm, welcoming atmosphere. For generations, the restaurant has been the heart and soul of the Doilie family, but in 2006, when the baton was passed down to the younger of two brothers, a hilariously turbulent ride of comedic drama ensues. Two decades later, as the dust of the culinary comedy settles, "Family Business" takes us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

With their longstanding resentments and clashing personalities bubbling to the surface, it seems inevitable that the brothers are on the verge of an irreparable rift.
