Both movies have fire fighters who lost a loved one before and doesn't think about loving again. Also they have very similar cold man vibes.

Similar topics: the cook falls in love with her boss, they bicker most of the time but can't stop falling in love. The guy from Love in the Kitchen is horrible and Dating in the Kitchen is amazing. Women are similar. Overall Dating in the Kitchen is a great series with the most romantic scenes and a great love but Love in the Kitchen is a bad movie with a good theme but an awful love story.
