They're both owners of a restaurant, mitch a master on main dishes and muuriel with the desserts.
mitch is gay but super desperate met muuriel because no restaurant gave him the opportunity to cook because his hair, and muuriel is hetero and super needy, she always wants really bad to get engaged, she flirted with him and he rejected,but she is kind enough to gave him a chance in her small cafe years ago. Now they're close friends with some tension.
