* EiffelTowerEffect: This mainly pertains to the pilot but the view of the Golden Gate Bridge pretty much right next door from Josh's Penthouse is impossible. The bridge is located in the northern part of the city which mainly contains the Presidio national park. No tall buildings exist there Most of the tall building are in the west part of the city. The bay bridge however would be more realistic. The post pilot episodes put the bridge much farther away but it's still questionable.

The premise of the story is this: food blogger Gabi finds a job as the personal chef for Josh in order to get out of poverty with her friend Sofia. Using some incredible skills that allow her to tell what people around her would like to eat the most, she proves herself to Josh (with a simple grilled cheese sandwich he found exquisite). Unfortunately, Josh's aide Elliot would rather prefer Josh to have a famous chef instead of a unheard of blonde girl like Gabi, so she decides to truly prove herself to Josh, while also avoiding any personal feelings and advances she develops for him with their ridiculously high chemistry. HilarityEnsues.

** [[WordOfGod Word of Rex Lee]] is that Eliot's resentment over Gabi may have more to do with Elliot feeling his territory is violated enough by Yolanda's presence without wanting another person stepping in as well. The trope might still come into play alongside Elliot's crush, though.

to:

* {{Determinator}}: Much of the humor and drama of the show is built around Gabi's determination to make a great impression on Josh, not let their embarrassing one-night fling become problematic in their relationship or professional lives, and her willingness to make it (or at least keep her job and income) in the field she has passion for and talent in, even as the odds are stacked against her (Eliot's meddling and Caroline's manipulating don't help matters). The fact that she and her roommate Sofia are close to poverty and barely scraping by adds to Gabi's desperation.
