2 Broke Girls follows two waitresses at a Brooklyn diner who pool their tips, and their rivalry-turned-friendship, in pursuit of one very specific business dream: a cupcake shop of their own.
What is 2 Broke Girls about?
Kat Dennings plays Max, a streetwise diner waitress raised without money, opposite Beth Behrs as Caroline, a once-wealthy socialite who lost everything overnight and now bags tables beside her. The two clash immediately, coming from opposite backgrounds with opposite instincts, but a shared shift, a jar of scraped-together tips, and a slowly built trust turn into a plan: save enough to open a cupcake business neither of them could afford on a waitress's wage alone. Around them, the diner runs on a cast of regulars, from a short-order cook to a boss juggling more problems than the grill and neighbors who treat the counter like a stage. The series plays the culture clash for laughs while keeping the dollar-and-cents math of the dream front and center; every episode nudges the pair's jar total, and their friendship, forward.
About the cast
Kat Dennings anchors the show as Max, and Beth Behrs plays off her as Caroline. The supporting bench includes Garrett Morris, Jonathan Kite, Matthew Moy and Jennifer Coolidge, filling out the diner and the neighborhood around the two leads.
Context & significance
The series comes from creators Whitney Cummings and Michael Patrick King and began airing on American network television in 2011, part of a wave of workplace sitcoms built around an odd-couple pairing. Its half-hour format and diner setting made it an easy entry point for viewers who wanted broad comedy without serialized plotting; each episode is built to stand largely on its own while the cupcake-shop goal ties the season together.
