Returning summer series Young and Hungry

Fictional summer series “Young and Hungry” returns for 2nd season to ABC Family channel with Emily Osment

Theme: Cooking up trouble

Summary: Feisty young food blogger Gabi is desperate for a job. When she finds out wealthy tech entrepreneur Josh needs a personal chef, she wants the position. But Gabi must prove herself to Josh’s aide, Elliot, who would rather have his boss hire a famous chef. Gabi gets help from best friend Sofia and Josh’s housekeeper, Yolanda, in order to turn the opportunity into employment … and maybe love. Actress Ashley Tisdale (“High School Musical”) is an executive producer of the comedy series.
