According to Starz, Sweetbitter, season 1, episode 1, “Salt” is about the following:

"Tess, 22 year old, moved to New York City without friends or specific ambition; after an interview at one of the best restaurants, she’s invited to train there; Tess attempts to keep up while observing her new co-workers."

If the show can show bot the family and chaos of an elite restaurant, the foodies should be both entertained and hooked. While this novel wasn’t intended to be a Kitchen Confidential style commentary, it does offer a glimpse into the elite restaurant world.

Second, the show needs to appeal to the drama fan. At the center of this story is Tess. She goes from a naïve girl just arriving in New York City to an astute, well versed woman who can establish herself. While not necessarily a coming of age show, Tess needs to mature through this first season.
