Family drama is never easy, but when it involves a sweet chili recipe, things can get heated in more ways than one. After a 3-year estrangement, a mother and her adult child are trying to reconnect, but their rocky past and the mother’s disdain for her daughter-in-law’s cooking might just be too much to overcome. Can this family find a way to mend their relationship, or will the chili incident be the final straw? ️
