Katie Lee Biegel, an Emmy-nominated culinary personality, co-wrote and produced Catch of the Day, premiering Aug. 30 on Hallmark and its streamer. The film follows Sophie Monahan, a rising New York chef who returns to Montauk to rescue her family's struggling seafood restaurant. The story emphasizes reconnecting with roots, family, and community while featuring coastal cuisine woven into plot points. Biegel drew on Montauk's commercial fishing heritage and concerns about mom-and-pop businesses being pushed out by change. The film blends second-chance romance, food-centered storytelling, and a warm coastalcore summer atmosphere. Simple summer meals are portrayed as soulful and central to character connections.
Have you ever dreamed of packing it all up to move to some cozy coastal town - where a swoon-worthy second chance romance and endless buttered lobster rolls might just be waiting for you? I mean, who among us hasn't, right? Which is why Hallmark's Catch of the Day, coming to the network and streamer on Aug. 30, is comfort food in movie form. And we have a real-life foodie favorite to thank for it: Katie Lee Biegel.
Catch of the Day, which Biegel co-wrote and produced, follows Sophie, a rising chef in New York City, who returns to her hometown of Montauk to save her family's struggling seafood restaurant. Once home, she reconnects with her roots, her family, and - yep - a dreamy local fisherman. Think coastalcore summer romance with plenty of mouthwatering food along the way.
