The Noms' cooking skills culminate with a disaster that leaves them homeless.
Just when all hope seems lost, the locals enjoyment of their food prompts them to open a new restaurant called Om Nom Cafe.
There, they sell food and drinks, all while invariably getting into mishaps and hijinks along the way.
The Noms move into a neighborhood called Nomcity featuring various new and eccentric characters.
Even away from Nomville, the Noms aren't safe from being caught up in numerous comical escapades and predicaments.
