Beneath The Chef's Flame
Transcript
00:00:00Welcome to the annual Culinary Cup.
00:00:05Over 100 chefs battled, and America voted
00:00:09to bring the six most talented to the stage today.
00:00:14Marc De Laurentiis, Vanessa Laurent, and Haley Riddle.
00:00:26My dream has always been to bring the culinary cup
00:00:30and crush Marc De Laurentiis.
00:00:32But now that I'm so close, why does victory taste so bitter?
00:00:39From now on, the only words out of your mouth
00:00:42are going to be, yes, chef.
00:00:45Yes, chef.
00:00:46Give it up for our valedictorian, Haley Rivers.
00:00:56Yeah, Haley.
00:00:58I'm Diego, manager of Desire.
00:01:01Would you like to work under our head chef, Marc De Laurentiis?
00:01:16Father, I'm in.
00:01:20Revenge is best served cold.
00:01:24And soon we will feast.
00:01:31Salt, pepper, butter.
00:01:34Simple.
00:01:36And yet, deceptively complex.
00:01:38And that's how you cook a proper steak, OK?
00:01:47What is that?
00:01:51Is that good?
00:01:53Smell it.
00:01:55It's not good.
00:01:56It's a fucking piece of trash!
00:01:59Take your hand with nothing.
00:02:01You're fired.
00:02:03Am I stuttering?
00:02:08So who wants a cut?
00:02:14I...
00:02:18Oh, I'm so, so sorry.
00:02:23I slipped.
00:02:24Who let you in?
00:02:25Marc.
00:02:26This is Haley.
00:02:27She just graduated from your alma mater, top of her class,
00:02:31with a focus on pastries.
00:02:33You should know not to be late.
00:02:38I'm sorry, it was just two minutes.
00:02:41Two minutes?
00:02:42That is the difference between a rare and a well-done steak.
00:02:47I want you to cook me a steak.
00:02:54Have we met before?
00:02:56No way.
00:02:57Does he remember me?
00:03:03You have three chances to cook me a steak, to satisfy me,
00:03:09or you'll be fired.
00:03:26Just what I would expect from a pastry chef.
00:03:30You didn't even try it.
00:03:31Less butter, it's not a fucking croissant.
00:03:38This is drier than the fucking Sahara.
00:03:41More butter.
00:03:44I know.
00:03:45My secret ingredient.
00:04:01Tastes...
00:04:16Familiar.
00:04:17Did you lose Broby?
00:04:19Yes.
00:04:20How did you know?
00:04:22How did you know?
00:04:24Who taught you how to cook?
00:04:26My mother.
00:04:30He took another bite.
00:04:32He never takes a second bite of the same dish.
00:04:35Your mother was a proper chef.
00:04:38Unlike you, you're in clean-up, do you from now on?
00:04:43Let the grease and the grime remind you to never be late in my kitchen again.
00:04:51Thank you, chef.
00:04:52Not thank you, chef.
00:04:53Yes, chef.
00:04:53Yes, chef.
00:04:55Yes, chef.
00:04:56Okay, guys.
00:04:57So the culinary cup is in two weeks, and I'm going to win.
00:05:01Yes, chef.
00:05:01Yes, chef.
00:05:02Yes, chef.
00:05:09Hey, um, are you okay?
00:05:11Yeah, all good.
00:05:12I was just cutting onions.
00:05:14It's okay.
00:05:16You can trust me.
00:05:17And I guess that's why they say you should never meet your heroes, right?
00:05:21I know that it sounds ridiculous, but despite all of this, I still have the biggest crush on him.
00:05:26Mark De Laurentiis may have a great ass, but he is an overrated asshole.
00:05:35In my office.
00:05:38Now.
00:05:43Stand.
00:05:45Chef, I'm very sorry about everything I said.
00:05:48Which part?
00:05:50That I'm an overrated asshole?
00:05:52Well, that I have a great ass.
00:06:00That part I meant.
00:06:08Am I fired?
00:06:13Why do you look familiar?
00:06:22The taste of you, got me coming back for more, one taste ain't enough, I'm addicted to the taste of you, got me feeling high, feeling low, feeling things I never knew before, can't get enough, I can't get enough, I'm addicted to the taste of you, taste of you.
00:06:41Guess who found a new buyer for his app?
00:06:45We're going to be filthy rich.
00:06:47What?
00:06:48That's amazing.
00:06:49I know.
00:06:51Attaboy!
00:06:53Hey, I am so proud of you, son.
00:06:56If you only had half of Adrian's ambition, or brains, have a seat.
00:07:02Oh, nice.
00:07:05Bon appétit.
00:07:06So, how's Desire, and did you meet Marquette?
00:07:11I did.
00:07:12He was...
00:07:14interesting.
00:07:17Interesting?
00:07:17What do you mean?
00:07:18Like, attractive?
00:07:23Hayley, what about the recipe?
00:07:26Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.
00:07:28I want to work with you, at the Golden Table, and continue Mom's legacy.
00:07:35And you will, after you get revenge for your mother.
00:07:39Now, the Golden Table used to be the number one restaurant in Los Angeles, until Ingrid
00:07:44did the rent to stole your mom's recipes, and beat her in the culinary cup.
00:07:49I know what I have to do.
00:07:52Steal the recipes, and then I will beat Mark in the culinary cup.
00:07:56Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.
00:07:59I don't even know where to look.
00:08:01During last year's culinary cup, he kept referring to a red notebook.
00:08:07It must be in there.
00:08:13A red notebook?
00:08:14I've seen it.
00:08:19Okay, listen up, chefs.
00:08:29Tonight, we are serving my newest creation.
00:08:32First, we need to try it.
00:08:36What did I tell you about being late?
00:08:49Are you not impressed?
00:08:53It's okay.
00:08:59The recipes are on your stations.
00:09:03Let's get cooking, come on!
00:09:04Yes, chef!
00:09:05This is not my recipe.
00:09:18It's better.
00:09:20What did you just say?
00:09:23Um, I asked, uh, is it better?
00:09:25Follow me.
00:09:43No!
00:09:46I gotta try this out.
00:09:47Oh, that's so good.
00:10:01Right here.
00:10:05Take off your apron.
00:10:06If I'm fired, you can just tell me.
00:10:11Take off your apron.
00:10:26I want you.
00:10:28I want you to teach me recipes.
00:10:42Get up!
00:10:43Now!
00:10:47The kitchen is yours.
00:10:48Okay.
00:10:49So, the problem is in the sauce.
00:10:52Sauce?
00:10:53My last name is D. Lau. Rentes.
00:10:57My ancestors, they basically invented the sauce.
00:11:00What's wrong with the sauce?
00:11:02Okay, Godfather.
00:11:03I didn't mean to offend you.
00:11:05Can I show you something?
00:11:07Yeah.
00:11:07Go ahead.
00:11:08Okay.
00:11:09So, instead of parsley, I use a dash of throwby.
00:11:15Throwby.
00:11:16Yeah, the Greek herb.
00:11:17I know what throwby is, okay?
00:11:19I knew a girl once.
00:11:22Actually, she was a lot like you.
00:11:27Uh, wow.
00:11:29Uh, a lot like me.
00:11:30That's, what?
00:11:31Um, do you want to try?
00:11:33Yeah.
00:11:36May I?
00:11:36Okay.
00:11:49Okay, um, I, I, I think the tomato sauce is burnt off.
00:11:56Okay, hey, calm down.
00:11:59That's easy to say if you don't have a Michelin star restaurant with over 400 covers a night.
00:12:04Okay, maybe you need to chill.
00:12:07You're going to lose a star if you keep rushing like this.
00:12:11In my kitchen, I tell you what to do.
00:12:14I want you to go home.
00:12:16Now.
00:12:18Fucker.
00:12:18Fucker.
00:12:18Jerk.
00:12:21Why does this feel wrong?
00:12:32Remember what he did to your mom and the golden table.
00:12:38What are you doing?
00:12:43I thought that's mine.
00:12:47I have the exact same one.
00:12:50Okay.
00:12:52I believe you.
00:12:53You're definitely not like that Dominique.
00:12:56Uh, Dominique?
00:12:58Mark's ex-sous chef slash ex-fiancé.
00:13:01Ex-fiancé?
00:13:02What happened?
00:13:04Well, what always happens when two beautiful chefs get cooking in a hot kitchen together?
00:13:09Spicy aromance.
00:13:12But she ended up breaking his heart and stealing his recipes.
00:13:18And Mark vowed to never trust anyone ever again.
00:13:22Except me, of course.
00:13:24Of course.
00:13:29Guess he wasn't always a dick, huh?
00:13:35So first, I'm an asshole.
00:13:37Or I know a dick.
00:13:39Baby, you need to choose what I am.
00:13:44Because I can't be both.
00:13:47You're cut for tonight.
00:13:49Maybe tomorrow I can stop by, help with the recipes for the culinary cup.
00:13:58Come early.
00:14:00I have some private tasting for you.
00:14:05What are you smiling about?
00:14:12What are you smiling about?
00:14:21Adrian.
00:14:22What are you doing here?
00:14:24I wanted to surprise you.
00:14:26Where have you been?
00:14:26Oh, um, chef kept us late.
00:14:31Chef, huh?
00:14:33You know, generally people don't smile about having overtime.
00:14:36Wow.
00:14:37I love to cook.
00:14:39You know that.
00:14:40Oh, if you love cooking so much, then make me dinner.
00:14:43Oh, I miss your smell and taste.
00:14:58Come on.
00:15:00I'm busy, Mark.
00:15:02Mark?
00:15:02What did you just call me?
00:15:03Oh, God, I'm sorry.
00:15:08I'm so tired.
00:15:09I demand you quit desire.
00:15:12Quit desire?
00:15:14Not now.
00:15:15I'm not asking.
00:15:17But I'm so close.
00:15:18Tonight when I was alone with him, he almost let me see his notebook.
00:15:21You were alone with Mark?
00:15:23We were cooking.
00:15:25Just cooking.
00:15:26You know what?
00:15:26That's it.
00:15:27I've had enough of this.
00:15:28I've tolerated your stupid little chef dream for long enough.
00:15:32This is too far.
00:15:33I forbid you from working for Mark De Laurentiis.
00:15:37You forbid me.
00:15:43Baby, I'm sorry.
00:15:45I'm sorry.
00:15:46I hate the idea of him even laying a finger on you.
00:15:50I mean, you hate him, right?
00:15:58I hate Mark De Laurentiis.
00:16:05I'm only running for one thing.
00:16:08Avenge.
00:16:12Oh, you're early.
00:16:25Come on, you inspired me last night, so I thought you would be the first one to try my new dish.
00:16:41What do you think?
00:16:43Be honest.
00:16:45It's good.
00:16:46Your meat, the truffle, it's flawless.
00:16:49It's really good.
00:16:51Good.
00:16:51Do you think God will win the culinary cup?
00:16:57Tell me, what do I need?
00:16:59What you need is to knead the dough.
00:17:03Here.
00:17:09Pastry is like us.
00:17:11It needs a deep tissue massage.
00:17:13Okay, okay, okay.
00:17:21Relax, relax.
00:17:22Jeez.
00:17:23Gentle.
00:17:23You have to love the dough.
00:17:26Okay, so knead.
00:17:29Knead.
00:17:31Stretch.
00:17:32Stretch.
00:17:33Fold.
00:17:34Fold.
00:17:41Knead.
00:17:42There you go.
00:18:02Gentle.
00:18:03Gentle.
00:18:04Feels good.
00:18:06There, just like that.
00:18:08Good.
00:18:08Good.
00:18:09Good.
00:18:09Here, perfect.
00:18:19There.
00:18:20Good.
00:18:21Not too fast.
00:18:23Do you feel it?
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:29Okay, now.
00:18:30Faster.
00:18:31Faster.
00:18:34Now it starts to smooth out.
00:18:36It's ready.
00:18:37Okay.
00:18:38Now?
00:18:38Almost.
00:18:42Now.

00:19:06Now.
00:19:06Wow, that's amazing.
00:19:13Wow.
00:19:36What's up, Chef?
00:19:44I guess certain privileges come with your new position.
00:19:48What new position?
00:19:50Whatever position Mark wants you in.
00:19:52Look, Vanessa, I don't know what you saw, but he just wanted me to taste his new dish.
00:19:58And did you taste it standing up or on your knees?
00:20:06I'm just playing with you, prep girl.
00:20:11Good for you.
00:20:13Living my dream.
00:20:14But if you're going to sneak around the kitchen, be sure to clean up your messes, like that hickey on your neck.
00:20:20No, it's from my boyfriend.
00:20:23Boyfriend?
00:20:24What's his name?
00:20:25Adrian Blackwell.
00:20:27Adrian Blackwell.
00:20:29I should be heading out.
00:20:36Hey, Leigh.
00:20:40Why are you still here?
00:20:41Chef, we need to talk.
00:20:43What's wrong?
00:20:48What happened was a mistake.
00:20:53I mean, I don't want to, like, offend you.
00:20:58Obviously, I was into it.
00:21:00I...
00:21:01But...
00:21:02My dish?
00:21:05Marcus?
00:21:07Both.
00:21:10But you're my boss.
00:21:13And I think it is best if we keep things professional.
00:21:19Yes.
00:21:20I respect your decision.
00:21:22But as your boss, I would ask you to join me on this work trip.
00:21:32Why don't you take Vanessa?
00:21:34Please say yes.
00:21:35Say yes, Chef.
00:21:37Vanessa, these dishes won't wash themselves.
00:21:41Vanessa?
00:21:42No?
00:21:43Do you know what I admire about you?
00:21:46That I'm a better cook than you?
00:21:49No.
00:21:50That you have ambition.
00:21:52And you have fun doing it.
00:21:54So what do you say?
00:21:57Do you want to join me on this work trip?
00:22:00Because I bet I will get inspired for my new recipes.
00:22:04Oh.
00:22:05Like, for the culinary company?
00:22:09Yeah.
00:22:10Hm.
00:22:21Holy shit.
00:22:22What do you want to do?
00:22:26Can we take a picture?
00:22:27Yes.
00:22:30Thank you so much, Vanessa, so much.
00:22:33Amazing.
00:22:43Something wrong?
00:22:45Um, I'm just so used to seeing you in an apron.
00:22:49You look divine.
00:22:53After you.
00:22:54Oh, by the way.
00:22:55Coffee.
00:22:56Okay.
00:23:00Who the hell is she?
00:23:02Who the hell is she?
00:23:14Oh my god, I love this song.
00:23:22Don't forget, Hayley.
00:23:23You're here for revenge, not love.
00:23:41Are we almost there?
00:23:42About an hour to go.
00:23:44Nothing in this world compares to you.
00:23:46Taste of the world.
00:23:53Wow, this is a really beautiful view.
00:23:56Yeah, isn't it beautiful?
00:23:57Was he referring to me or the view?
00:24:00Howdy, Mark.
00:24:01Hey, how you doing?
00:24:03What is this?
00:24:05Um, another girlfriend, I see.
00:24:07No, no, I'm just one of Mark's chefs.
00:24:12That's what the last one said.
00:24:15Should we go look at the crops?
00:24:19So, how many girlfriend chefs have you brought here?
00:24:26So, how many of your girlfriend chefs have you brought here?
00:24:30I have no idea what he's talking about.
00:24:34You are clearly the first one I brought here.
00:24:43Thanks.
00:24:47This is where we're gonna source all the greens and fruits for desire.
00:24:50Do you like it?
00:24:51Somehow it already feels like home.
00:25:01You bought it?
00:25:02The farm.
00:25:03That means we have access to the herb garden too.
00:25:05So, maybe we can plant some food.
00:25:10Come on, let me show you some.
00:25:16We have spaghetti squash, Jerusalem artichokes, and a beautiful lamb.
00:25:21Feel free to take one.
00:25:25Come on, let's try one.
00:25:30I have something on your chin.
00:25:36Oh!
00:25:37Do I get it?
00:25:38No, right, right here.
00:25:40May I?
00:25:41Mm-hmm.
00:25:48Hello!
00:25:49I wanna show you our lifestyle.
00:25:51Come on, where are we?
00:25:56Hello, welcome.
00:25:57Hello.
00:25:58Mr. De Laurentiis, the king's suite as usual.
00:26:01Mr. De Laurentiis, unfortunately, we lost all our reservations.
00:26:05We only have one single room with one bed.
00:26:12Uh, what?
00:26:13One bed?
00:26:15Yes.
00:26:16Oh, no.
00:26:18No, no.
00:26:19Just tell me what is it going to take?
00:26:23Mr. De Laurentiis, trust me.
00:26:25Um...
00:26:28I would love to help you out.
00:26:30How does that sound?
00:26:34Would that be enough?
00:26:36Really, we cannot accommodate your request.
00:26:38I wish I could.
00:26:40A second room, then.
00:26:41Oh, we are fully booked.
00:26:43I'm so sorry.
00:26:44Can I talk to the manager, please?
00:26:46Sir, um...
00:26:48I am with the manager.
00:26:49To the owner, then.
00:26:50Because I'm gonna buy this hotel and I'm gonna fire you.
00:26:54Relax.
00:26:55Safe firing for the restaurant.
00:26:56Uh, we will...
00:26:58Take the room!
00:27:00Fine.
00:27:01I'm gonna take the couch.
00:27:03The room doesn't have a couch.
00:27:06Perfect, you're all set.
00:27:08Have a great night.
00:27:10No.
00:27:14Well, I am gonna sleep in my car.
00:27:17No!
00:27:18What?
00:27:19Mark, it...
00:27:20It's been a long day.
00:27:23We can...
00:27:24share the bed.
00:27:29Well, okay.
00:27:31If you insist...
00:27:33We are two adults, huh?
00:27:34What's the worst thing that could happen?
00:27:36I have to go.
00:27:40I'm sorry.
00:27:47What about this, Hayley?
00:27:49He's...
00:27:50not even that attractive.
00:28:04Right.
00:28:07Not that attractive.
00:28:15Oh!
00:28:16Sorry.
00:28:17You have a chain gate.
00:28:19No, I've got a budget looking.
00:28:21Um, that's okay.
00:28:22Got it wrong.
00:28:31I...
00:28:32Oh!
00:28:33You, uh...
00:28:36You look...
00:28:38Oh!
00:28:39Sorry.
00:28:40I...
00:28:41I'm sorry.
00:28:42I didn't think we'd be sharing a room.
00:28:44Are you cold?
00:28:45Here, take the shirt.
00:28:46Oh!
00:28:47No.
00:28:48I think that's probably a bad idea.
00:28:52That looks comfy, right?
00:28:54Yeah.
00:28:55Yeah, we should get into bed, Taylor.
00:28:57I mean...
00:28:58Ha!
00:28:59To sleep.
00:29:02You're gonna take the left side?
00:29:03Yeah.

00:34:33Can't get enough.
00:34:35You got this, Hayley.
00:34:42The sooner you tell Adrian about Mark, the better.
00:34:52Surprise!
00:34:54I have never seen you dance or smile in the kitchen before.
00:35:15Who are you, and what have you done with Mark?
00:35:19I met someone, okay?
00:35:28Not someone.
00:35:29The one.
00:35:31Really?
00:35:32Well, what's her name?
00:35:34Where did you meet?
00:35:35And I want to know everything.
00:35:37No, I don't want to jinx you.
00:35:40Surprise!
00:35:42Come on, babe.
00:35:44Come on, come on.
00:35:45Come on.
00:35:46Come on.
00:35:47Yeah.
00:35:48Oh, my birthday's not for another month.
00:35:51I invited all of us here today to share in this magical moment.
00:35:57Dad.
00:35:58Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell.
00:36:01Adrian, what's going on?
00:36:03First, I'd like to tell everyone here that you are now looking at America's newest millionaire.
00:36:09You sold the company.
00:36:12Congratulations.
00:36:13Now that we're rich, I think it's time to move on to our next chapter.
00:36:25Hayley Rivers, will you marry me?
00:36:33Mark, slow down, alright?
00:36:35Remember what happened with Dominique?
00:36:37Your crazy ex.
00:36:39No, she is not like Dominique, okay?
00:36:40She's different.
00:36:41She makes me believe in cooking again.
00:36:43And she makes me believe in...
00:36:44Love, no, don't you say it, alright?
00:36:46You're scaring me.
00:36:47I don't like this happy dancing mark, alright?
00:36:50From the end, forever.
00:36:51Kind of needs to say something.
00:36:52That's a yes!
00:36:53That's a yes!
00:36:55That's a yes!
00:36:56Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
00:36:57It fits!
00:36:58That's a yes!
00:36:59Congratulations, honey.
00:37:00Wow!
00:37:01That's a yes! That's a yes!
00:37:07It fits!
00:37:11Congratulations, honey.
00:37:13Wow!
00:37:15We're missionaries!
00:37:17Oh, yeah.
00:37:19I would also like to announce
00:37:21that I will be buying the golden table
00:37:24as a gift to my new fiancée.
00:37:27Signed this morning.
00:37:29What?
00:37:33Adrian, why don't we talk?
00:37:35Okay, give us one second.
00:37:37It's done.
00:37:39You no longer have to work for that smug bastard
00:37:41de la rent or whatever, okay?
00:37:43You can just stay home.
00:37:45Diego, you are my best friend.
00:37:47My only friend.
00:37:49She's the right one.
00:37:51Trust me.
00:37:53Fuck, at least let me meet her.
00:37:57You know her.
00:37:59You actually introduced us.
00:38:01And I'm thinking to propose to her
00:38:04after we win the culinary Cup.
00:38:10But I'm this close to getting Mark's recipes.
00:38:13Mark?
00:38:14What?
00:38:15Hayley, what is going on?
00:38:17Do you love him?
00:38:19Adrian, I...
00:38:29No.
00:38:30I can never love him.
00:38:32I'm just using him for revenge.
00:38:34I'm going to destroy Mark De Laurentiis.
00:38:43Oh, here you are.
00:38:45I need to talk to you about our future.
00:38:47Listen up, team.
00:38:50Now that we are all here, I have some news.
00:38:53I have to come clean and tell you that Hayley and I...
00:39:03Hayley and I perfected De Laurentiis Beef Wellington.
00:39:09From today moving onwards, Hayley is going to be promoted to be a sous chef.
00:39:15And she will help me preparing all the dishes for the Culinary Cup
00:39:20and also join me in the competition.
00:39:22Hayley, what are you saying?
00:39:26It would be an honor, Chef.
00:39:28Okay, guys.
00:39:29So for tonight, we are focusing on preparing all the dishes for the Culinary Cup.
00:39:36Let's get cooking, right?
00:39:37Yes, Chef!
00:39:38Yes, Chef!
00:39:39Come on!
00:39:56Take your apron off.
00:39:57Um...
00:39:58Okay?
00:40:08Rah.
00:40:14Mark.
00:40:15Mark.
00:40:16Mark.
00:40:17Stop.
00:40:18We have to get back to the kitchen.
00:40:19We can't stop.
00:40:20I am done playing games, okay?
00:40:23Hayley, I want you.
00:40:24Mark.
00:40:25This time for real, Hayley Rose.
00:40:28You don't even know me.
00:40:29I know you.
00:40:30You have the feeling I know you for my whole life.
00:40:34Look, you're smart, you are funny, and you are sexy as hell.
00:40:40And I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:40:44Mark.
00:40:45I love you.
00:40:47Mark.
00:40:48You have to get back to the kitchen.
00:40:51To the hell with the kitchen.
00:40:53All desire can burn.
00:40:54I don't care, okay?
00:40:55I don't care, okay?
00:40:56Do you feel that?
00:40:59Feel it.
00:41:05My heart...
00:41:07is beating for you.
00:41:09And all of you.
00:41:10Fine.
00:41:12Let desire burn, then.
00:41:14I want to be the first time at De Laurentiis let a successful business burn.
00:41:29Bigger than golden table.
00:41:30I'm thinking of golden kitchen, right?
00:41:32You did it!
00:41:42So what is he cooking?
00:41:45I don't know.
00:41:46I haven't looked yet.
00:41:48I couldn't.
00:41:50I feel like a cheater.
00:41:52We can now enter the golden table into the culinary cup.
00:41:54And with Mark's recipes, we're sure to win.
00:41:57Wait a minute.
00:42:03Is this a joke?
00:42:07That's his recipe book.
00:42:09These are Mark's recipes.
00:42:10These are yours!
00:42:14Grilled cheese.
00:42:15Spaghetti.
00:42:17Cloud eggs.
00:42:18What the hell is a cloud egg?
00:42:20No.
00:42:23This is my handwriting, but I don't even remember writing these.
00:42:26This is from when you were a kid.
00:42:28When the both of you used to play together.
00:42:30Who are you trying to fool?
00:42:32I don't know what to tell you.
00:42:33I stole this from him.
00:42:35Hmm.
00:42:37Why would he be reading your childhood recipes?
00:42:43He'd be reading your childhood recipes.
00:42:45Maybe she gotta mix that one.
00:42:46You know, there was this one time where she took my phone instead?
00:42:48Okay, okay, that was one time.
00:42:50And no, this is his notebook.
00:42:52You are so perfect.
00:43:00Go get this real recipe!
00:43:05Go, go!
00:43:07You know what, Dad?
00:43:08Dad.
00:43:11That's it.
00:43:12I am so over this.
00:43:15I don't know what I can do to make you proud.
00:43:18I graduated top of my class.
00:43:20I became sous chef for Mark De Laurentiis.
00:43:23I don't even think this is about Mom's memory.
00:43:26This is just about your petty revenge.
00:43:28Which she totally botched.
00:43:35And you.
00:43:37You have treated me like shit.
00:43:41Ever since you got a taste of success with your shitty little startup.
00:43:47I wouldn't call selling a business for millions stupid.
00:43:49To change.
00:44:00I'm done with both of you.
00:44:04What about Golden Table?
00:44:05Don't you care for this family?
00:44:08Yes, I care.
00:44:09All I do is think about the Golden Table.
00:44:11But I'm done.
00:44:14Hey!
00:44:16Get back here!
00:44:19What's going on?
00:44:22Shh!
00:44:24This is my kitchen now.
00:44:26From now on, the only words out of your mouth are going to be yes chef.
00:44:43Yes chef.
00:44:45Take off your shirt.
00:44:47Yes.
00:44:49Yes chef.
00:45:09Taste me.
00:45:11Yes chef.
00:45:19Good morning.
00:45:20I thought it's time for some classic brunch.
00:45:21Scrambled eggs and croissant.
00:45:22Brunch is my favorite meal.
00:45:24Mine too.
00:45:26I'm starving.
00:45:27Let's get cooking.
00:45:28Yes, chef.
00:45:40Good morning.
00:45:42I thought it's time for some classic brunch.
00:45:45Scrambled eggs and croissants?
00:45:47Brunch is my favorite meal.
00:45:49Mine too.
00:45:51I'm starving. Let's get cooking.
00:45:58Just a little.
00:45:59The taste.
00:46:00Got me coming back for more.
00:46:01Gotta have more.
00:46:02Can't be enough.
00:46:04I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:46:06Got me feeling high.
00:46:08Feeling low.
00:46:09Feeling things I never knew before.
00:46:12Can't get enough.
00:46:13I can't.
00:46:14I can't.
00:46:15I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:46:18So, how much time do we have?
00:46:21About 30 minutes?
00:46:2430 minutes.
00:46:26Why do you have my notebook?
00:46:45I found it.
00:46:47I found it.
00:46:48And I have the same one when I was little.
00:46:50So, I must have gotten them confused.
00:46:56I belong to her.
00:47:00The girl who made me fall in love with cooking.
00:47:04I call it cloud eggs.
00:47:06You can't be me.
00:47:07Soul chef.
00:47:08You mean sous chef.
00:47:09Pretty sure it's soul chef.
00:47:11That was actually the last time I saw her.
00:47:14Our mothers got into an argument and then I.
00:47:17And I moved to Germany.
00:47:18All those years and you.
00:47:20You still kept that notebook?
00:47:22I mean, everyone has that kind of person, right?
00:47:25That impression from childhood.
00:47:28Strangely stick.
00:47:35And somehow, I became my mom.
00:47:38Cooking for profit.
00:47:40And sometimes revenge.
00:47:43It's easy to get lost.
00:47:47Cook for the wrong reasons.
00:47:49Until I met you.
00:47:55You made me fall in love.
00:47:57Not just with cooking.
00:47:58Mark, I...
00:47:59There's something I have to tell you.
00:48:02Shit.
00:48:11I got called in early for Mother's Day.
00:48:15You ready for Maine?
00:48:21I will tell them tonight.
00:48:23Adrian Blackwell.
00:48:24I work at Desire.
00:48:25And I have some information you might be interested in.
00:48:38I'm not interested.
00:48:39Please leave.
00:48:44Hayley and Mark are having an affair.
00:48:48Hayley and Mark are having an affair.
00:48:51That bitch.
00:48:54I should have known she was a liar.
00:48:56Question is, how can we ruin her?
00:49:00What does she love the most?
00:49:06Her family restaurant.
00:49:07Have you heard of the Golden Table?
00:49:10She's the daughter of Chef Maya?
00:49:14On top of stealing my love, she already owns her own restaurant?
00:49:17Not anymore.
00:49:20Her father sold it to me.
00:49:22I was going to gift it back to Hayley.
00:49:27Now you need a new chef.
00:49:30And partner in crime.
00:49:34What flavor of crime were you thinking?
00:49:39I had a few ideas.
00:49:40Look, I don't understand, okay?
00:49:41Chef, our supplier said Hayley cancelled our whole order.
00:49:51Me?
00:49:52What?
00:49:53No, I didn't.
00:49:55Look, today is Mother's Day, okay?
00:49:57We have the first seating in one hour.
00:49:59And you're telling me we don't have any food?
00:50:02Chef, it's a worse, but way worse.
00:50:07We've been waiting for an hour.
00:50:10This better be good.
00:50:12I paid thousands.
00:50:14Three Michelin stars in my ass.
00:50:16How about a one-star Yelp review?
00:50:18Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm.
00:50:20There seems to be a minor glitch in our reservation system.
00:50:25Hey, what's going on?
00:50:26Well, everybody's reservations somehow got booked for the same time.
00:50:32We're overbooked and we don't have any food?
00:50:41I have the best hackers in Silicon Valley on my payroll.
00:50:45Desire's reservation system's a fucking joke.
00:50:48And I just canceled all of our supplier shipments for today.
00:50:51So you're telling me there's an angry mob of starving superfans out there?
00:50:56And no food to serve them.
00:51:03I think we have to cancel today's service.
00:51:10Or we could embrace the chaos.
00:51:14Diego, go out there and tell everyone that they will be having an Omikase menu tonight.
00:51:20Servers, make sure everybody stays happy, clear the tables, pump up the music, and bring out the wine.
00:51:27We're having a Mother's Day party tonight.
00:51:29Come on, go! Everybody go! What are you waiting for?
00:51:33Yes, Chef!
00:51:34Okay, where are you waiting for me?
00:51:37You can't make them drunk enough to forget that they're hungry.
00:51:42Well then, we'll just have to source locally.
00:51:45But it's Sunday night. All of the suppliers are closed.
00:51:49Mark, follow me.
00:51:50Follow me.
00:51:59Are you Mark Delorentis?
00:52:01In the flesh, Ken. How would you like to be our supplier for today?
00:52:03We need protein.
00:52:07We have chicken nuggets.
00:52:09Chicken nuggets?
00:52:10Yes.
00:52:12What are we doing with chicken nuggets?
00:52:13We could deconstruct these, potato chips, wasabi peas, crusted chicken.
00:52:20Soy sauce, honey reduction glaze, sweet and sour umami.
00:52:26Yes, and instant ramen for extra texture.
00:52:36What are you thinking for dessert?
00:52:37Okay, we have ice cream. Do you have coffee?
00:52:42Yes, we do, but we just ran out, but I couldn't brew some more.
00:52:46What are you thinking, Karen Masood?
00:52:53How much of a risk are you willing to take on me?
00:52:59Can we do whatever it takes?
00:53:01Okay, coffee please.
00:53:02Yes, yes, coffee.
00:53:07And how are we doing tonight, gentlemen?
00:53:14It's taking that so long.
00:53:21Okay, chefs, come on, we're already late.
00:53:23Let's cook like we've never cooked before, okay?
00:53:26Yeah. Let's go.
00:53:28Chicken nuggets.
00:53:29One for the peas.
00:53:38One for the peas.
00:53:51Dinner is served, everyone.
00:53:53Now, we know this is not our usual menu tonight, so we appreciate you all for being so flexible.
00:54:01And because it's Mother's Day, everything's on the house.
00:54:07They're enjoying themselves.
00:54:10Are you ready to make something sweet?
00:54:28Chef.
00:54:29Oh, my God. This is so good. You should try it.
00:54:33Chef, why are you eating the slurpees? Have you ever had one before?
00:54:37No. I'm not clearly missing one.
00:54:39Okay, that's great. Well, let's get back to work, please.
00:54:42Thank you. Hand that over.
00:54:44Oh.
00:54:49And for our last dish of the night, we present a wild berry granita.
00:54:56Enjoy.
00:54:59Thank you for letting us leave.
00:55:01Bye-bye.
00:55:03Wow, just off tips alone, that was our most lucrative night.
00:55:07Ever.
00:55:09And we've gone viral on social media.
00:55:12Thanks to you, Hailey.
00:55:14She saved us.
00:55:20Oh, and Mark.
00:55:22There's a VIP guest here who wanted to give his personal compliments to the chef.
00:55:28Yeah, please.
00:55:30Take a seat.
00:55:31I heard your food was exquisite, but after tasting it myself, it's worse than convenience store food.
00:55:43Um, excuse me, I thought you wanted to give your compliments to the chefs?
00:55:50Compliments? No, no. Complaints. This was the worst experience I've ever had in my dining career.
00:55:57So tell me, who's responsible?
00:56:03I take full responsibility.
00:56:05So tell me, is there anything we can do to make this right?
00:56:10Hmm.
00:56:12Well, you could start by firing her.
00:56:17Um, well, I am sorry to say, but our sous chef is irreplaceable, I desire.
00:56:26Hmm.
00:56:28I get it now.
00:56:30You two are fucking.
00:56:33Tell me.
00:56:35How long has this been going on, you slut?
00:56:39Hey.
00:56:41Watch it.
00:56:43Where have you been doing it? Hmm?
00:56:45The kitchen?
00:56:57Are you gonna finish that?
00:57:03So the culinary cup is this weekend, right?
00:57:06So I need to tell you my recipes, right?
00:57:09Oh, um, your recipes.
00:57:12Ever since my ex stole them, I'm never writing them down.
00:57:16Always have them locked in here.
00:57:19But I know I can trust you.
00:57:21So for the first dish, I thought...
00:57:23No, um, you know what?
00:57:26Actually, don't tell me.
00:57:27But I need to tell you the dish if you want to win the cup.
00:57:34Okay.
00:57:35So for the first dish, I thought we could...
00:57:36No, I'm not, I'm not who you think I am.
00:57:43I'm not who you think I am.
00:57:48Who are you?
00:57:49My mom left that year.
00:57:56She said that is one of her most cherished memories.
00:58:00Do you know her?
00:58:02Yes.
00:58:04Chef Maya.
00:58:07She's...
00:58:08The first woman who won the culinary cup.
00:58:11My mom and her were actually besties before they had a fallout.
00:58:14After she lost.
00:58:16Lost?
00:58:17Wow.
00:58:18Really?
00:58:19Your mom stole Chef Maya's recipes.
00:58:22My mom did what?
00:58:24She was jealous that Chef Maya beat her, so she stole her recipes to try and win the next year.
00:58:31And then she tried to buy out the golden table.
00:58:33Who told you that nonsense?
00:58:36Why did your mom make several of Chef Maya's dishes at the culinary cup, huh?
00:58:41See?
00:58:42She's got nothing.
00:58:43Look, I was a kid and I was in the kitchen at the kitchen staff talking.
00:58:49Chef Maya's husband gave my mother the recipes.
00:58:54You're lying.
00:58:56Why?
00:58:58I don't believe you.
00:58:59You were having an affair.
00:59:00I remember my mom told me that Chef Maya wanted to sell the golden table because she wanted to quit luxury dining and she wanted to focus on what she lost.
00:59:14Pastries.
00:59:15No, I don't believe you.
00:59:16And that's when Chef Maya's husband started visiting you off.
00:59:21No, stop.
00:59:23That's not true.
00:59:25It is true.
00:59:28Wait, why are you so emotional?
00:59:30Do you work for the golden table?
00:59:33Out of all the restaurants in LA, how did you end up in my kitchen?
00:59:43I came to steal your recipes.
00:59:46To represent the golden table in the culinary cup and take down desire in the same way that your mother took down us.
00:59:51So this is all fate?
00:59:55You and me?
00:59:57No, Mark.
00:59:58It was, but it's...
01:00:00Get out!
01:00:02Mark.
01:00:03Please, I can explain.
01:00:04What else did you lie about, huh?
01:00:07Are you married?
01:00:09Do you have kids?
01:00:11I was engaged.
01:00:17Engaged?
01:00:19Oh.
01:00:21Holy shit.
01:00:23To the guy that I punched?
01:00:24Is that the guy, huh?
01:00:26Yes, but I broke it off, okay?
01:00:29And it's not happening anymore.
01:00:31I don't love him.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:40So Diego was right.
01:00:43You're just like Dominique.
01:00:45Mark, please.
01:00:46You're fired!
01:00:48Hayley.
01:00:49Elizabeth.
01:00:50Whoever the fuck you are.
01:00:52Get out.
01:00:54Get out!
01:00:55Get out!
01:00:56Hello?
01:00:57Yes, this is Hayley Rumbersmith.
01:01:02Oh my god.
01:01:03Hello, yes, this is Hayley Robertson, oh my god, I'll be there in a second.
01:01:31Dad, Dad.
01:01:34Hayley, he took it, he took everything.
01:01:40Who?
01:01:41Who took what?
01:01:42Adrian, he keeps me out.
01:01:45He took the golden table from us, Hayley.
01:01:48No, no, he can't do that.
01:01:50I signed over to him, and now that you guys are broken up.
01:01:56Hayley, you gotta get the golden table back for us.
01:02:00For your mother's...
01:02:05Scanclay, she took the golden table back.
01:02:08Well, well, well.
01:02:14If it isn't my ex-fiancée.
01:02:20Adrienne, I'm so, so sorry.
01:02:24But please, give me my mother's restaurant back.
01:02:29And what do I get in return?
01:02:32I can cook for you.
01:02:35I can anything.
01:02:36But please, it's all I have left of her.
01:02:40Can't you see, Hayley?
01:02:41I'm trying to ruin your life.
01:02:43You and your pretty little boyfriend.
01:02:45Hayley, my BFF.
01:02:48How does it feel to be stabbed in the back?
01:02:51Vanessa?
01:02:53I thought we were friends.
01:02:56Friends?
01:02:57After you stole Mark and my dream job?
01:03:00Friends?
01:03:06We can't wait to destroy you and your new little boy toy.
01:03:12What are you two planning?
01:03:14Well, you'll have to find out for yourself at the culinary cup.
01:03:17Or not.
01:03:18I heard that Mark fired you.
01:03:20And you've lost the golden table.
01:03:23A chef without a restaurant can't even compete.
01:03:25Hey, Leigh.
01:03:36It's okay.
01:03:37Sit.
01:03:44Why did you make me a spy?
01:03:45Why did you send me into desire?
01:03:51Ingrid De Laurentiis ruined our lives.
01:03:56And the apple certainly doesn't far from the tree.
01:03:59Yeah.
01:04:00Well, Mark told me a pretty outrageous lie.
01:04:04He said that you and Ingrid De Laurentiis were having an affair.
01:04:07And that you gave her mom's recipes before the competition.
01:04:12Don't.
01:04:18Okay.
01:04:20It's time to tell you the truth.
01:04:24The truth is, your mother, she wanted to close the golden table.
01:04:35And go into pastries.
01:04:37And I couldn't allow her to ruin her future.
01:04:40Your future.
01:04:41You mean your future.
01:04:44I was just disappointed in your mother.
01:04:47While Ingrid, oh, she had a vision for an empire of restaurants to sight.
01:04:55And I knew that she could go all the way.
01:04:57And she did.
01:04:59You're a despicable man.
01:05:03Man, you've got to understand.
01:05:05Ingrid and I, we were in love.
01:05:07Not just with each other.
01:05:10With fame, fortune, glory.
01:05:12And then when your mother, she lost the competition.
01:05:22She got sick.
01:05:25She couldn't cook.
01:05:26She couldn't eat.
01:05:28And she had to use the feeding tube.
01:05:31It was torture.
01:05:34When she died, so did Archery.
01:05:40We were so guilty.
01:05:42I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:44Then why the obsession with taking down the De Laurentiases?
01:05:49To keep your mom's legacy alive.
01:05:52The golden table, that was her life's work.
01:05:55Don't you fucking get it, Dad?
01:06:02She didn't care about the golden table.
01:06:05She didn't care about legacy.
01:06:08She cared about us.
01:06:10Community.
01:06:11We were her life's work.
01:06:13Yeah.
01:06:16Hey, Hayley.
01:06:18Ow.
01:06:25Chef, good luck at the culinary competition tomorrow.
01:06:35I know you're going to win.
01:06:37Is there anything else I can maybe help you with?
01:06:39I heard that Hayley is no longer with us.
01:06:42I just got finished washing the dishes, so...
01:06:45Please just let me be.
01:06:49You're dismissed.
01:06:53Fucking hell.
01:06:55Chef, I was always invisible to you.
01:07:06I heard that the competition is going to be explosive this year.
01:07:11Do you know what happens when dry ice needs boiling water?
01:07:15Good luck, Chef.
01:07:23Ah!
01:07:25Oh my God!
01:07:26Mark!
01:07:26Mark!
01:07:27Let me see, let me see, let me see.
01:07:29Oh, gosh.
01:07:30We need to call an ambulance.
01:07:31Oh, my God.
01:07:32The competition this weekend.
01:07:35What are you going to do?
01:07:37Can you be my sous chef?
01:07:40Yes, Chef.
01:07:46You're welcome.
01:07:48That was a close one.
01:07:49No more drama.
01:07:50Happy thoughts only.
01:07:52Pumpkin.
01:07:54I'm so sorry, Pumpkin.
01:07:57Let's just let bygones be bygones.
01:07:59Because now, all I want is for you to be happy.
01:08:03Pumpkin, how's life?
01:08:10You're okay.
01:08:12Looks like something's wrong.
01:08:14Dad, I think I might be in love.
01:08:19That's great news.
01:08:20Is he rich?
01:08:22Sorry.
01:08:23That's old house.
01:08:26Who is he?
01:08:28Well, he is rich.
01:08:29Oh, thank God.
01:08:30He's very, very rich.
01:08:33And his name is Mark DeLorean.
01:08:36No!
01:08:36Dad!
01:08:37Dad, are you okay?
01:08:38No, no.
01:08:39It's okay.
01:08:40Oh, my gosh.
01:08:42Mark.
01:08:43Does he love you, too?
01:08:46He loathes me.
01:08:49He just fired me for being a spy.
01:08:52Now, Adrian's going to sabotage the culinary cup,
01:08:55and I don't even have a restaurant to get in, so...
01:08:58Okay.
01:08:59That's it.
01:08:59I...
01:09:00No, Dad, you're sick.
01:09:02I'm sick of this hospital.
01:09:04Come on, sneak me out of here, please.
01:09:07Look, I have a solution.
01:09:14Welcome to the annual Culinary Cup.
01:09:17Over 100 chefs battled, and America voted
01:09:20to bring the six most talented to the stage today.
01:09:24Now, let's meet our contestants.
01:09:26Mark DeLoreanters from Desire.
01:09:28Will he defend his title, or will his reign come to an end?
01:09:34Vanessa, what are you doing?
01:09:36I need your hand.
01:09:36I can't do it alone.
01:09:37Well, that's too bad, because it seems I may have double-booked.
01:09:41Next, Vanessa Laurent.
01:09:44Once a chef at Desire, now executive chef of the rebranded Golden Table.
01:09:49Looks like we have our first backstabbing of the competition.
01:09:54Now I know all your recipes.
01:09:59For years, I had the biggest crush on you, Mark, and you never even bothered to learn my name.
01:10:04Now I am going to crush you and Desire.
01:10:12And finally, our wild card entry from a viral pop-up food cart.
01:10:17Let's welcome...
01:10:18I'm here with Hayley Rivers, whose pop-up food cart, Mother's Table, has gone viral.
01:10:33Hayley, why do you think people showed up so strongly?
01:10:35Oh, well...
01:10:36At Mother's Table, we believe that food doesn't have to be fancy to be good.
01:10:41And at Mother's Table, we may not have stars, but we have a lot.
01:10:46Oh, I love that.
01:10:47And how far can this food cart go?
01:10:49All the way to the culinary cup.
01:10:50Across the street, you have 24 hours to vote.
01:10:53And I'm Hayley's father.
01:10:54Vote Mother's Table!
01:10:56Let's welcome Hayley Rivers.
01:10:59Ruffin' Mother's Table.
01:11:11By the end of today, one chef will be crowned the Culinary Cup Champion!
01:11:17Woo!
01:11:18First impressions are everything, so your task is to create an appetizer that introduces you and your taste.
01:11:26The clock is set, your ingredients await.
01:11:30Three, two, one, cook!
01:11:34Woo!
01:11:35Woo!
01:11:35Woo!
01:11:36Woo!
01:11:36Woo!
01:11:36Woo!
01:11:37Woo!
01:11:37Woo!

01:11:39Woo!
01:11:40Woo!
01:11:40Woo!
01:11:41Woo!
01:11:41Woo!
01:11:54Time's up, chefs!
01:11:59Now, first up, Chef Laurent.
01:12:02This is my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche.
01:12:06My hope is to invoke a cool ocean breeze with each bite.
01:12:11For the appetizer, I prepared a Wagyu tartare, and to balance the heavy flavor, I have balsamic made out of scarlet bell strawberries.
01:12:25Hello, um, hi judges.
01:12:27At my pop-up Mother's Table, we value comfort.
01:12:41And two of my favorite things to bake are flans and tarts.
01:12:45So this is a tart flan.
01:12:47So this is a tart flan.
01:12:49It's fusion?
01:12:50Call me a traditionalist, but I won't ever taste fusion food.
01:12:52It's effortless.
01:12:53It's not fusion.
01:12:54It's something completely new.
01:12:55The judges have voted.
01:12:56The following three will move on to the second round.
01:13:07Mark De Laurentiis.
01:13:08Mark De Laurentiis.
01:13:09Vanessa Laurentiis.
01:13:10And...
01:13:14Hailey Rivers!
01:13:17Well, before we proceed, let's hear a few words from our three finalists.
01:13:24Chef De Laurentiis, you're no stranger to the stage.
01:13:28But now, you're competing against two of your former chefs.
01:13:32And what do you make of your competitors?
01:13:36That's an easy question.
01:13:38Chef Laurentiis, she's an excellent dishwasher.
01:13:42Although I found a little stain in her dish.
01:13:47You are fired, by the way.
01:13:50And Chef Rivers.
01:13:52She is a dangerous woman and an excellent chef.
01:13:58Mark is a lousy excuse of a man.
01:14:01And Hailey only got to where she got because she swapped her way to the top.
01:14:07What do you have to say for yourself, Chef Rivers?
01:14:10Um...
01:14:12I...
01:14:17I...
01:14:19think that maybe in another life, in another kitchen, we maybe could have been friends.
01:14:26Or more.
01:14:28Um, good luck, Vanessa.
01:14:31Mark.
01:14:34Well, there you have it.
01:14:36You guys ready for round two?
01:14:37Yeah!
01:14:38Alright.
01:14:39Cook.
01:14:40Any cuisine.
01:14:41But you must incorporate this special ingredient.
01:14:44What is it?
01:14:45Can everybody say cheese?
01:14:47Cheese!
01:14:48Cheese!
01:14:49Cheese!
01:14:50Sure!
01:14:51Huh!
01:14:52I have to do this.
01:14:53Oh!
01:14:55I have ***.
01:14:56He lost a walk team.
01:14:57Beautiful heart beat.
01:14:58I can't wait R sees a story.
01:14:59...
01:15:00And it's so sweet.
01:15:01...
01:15:02E is actually the yeah now who's going to replace his forehead,
01:15:03a disastrous meeting to the stage.
01:15:05All eyes.
01:15:06The thing!
01:15:07Most common...
01:15:08The thing that...
01:15:09TON R示
01:15:12It appears Chef De Laurentiis has dropped his entree.
01:15:22He'll be judged solely on his appetizer alone.
01:15:25Is that a grilled cheese?
01:15:28What is this?
01:15:29A school lunch?
01:15:30What's the most important part about grilled cheese?
01:15:33It's not the cheese, but the bread.
01:15:34That perfect contrast between crispy exterior and gooey interior.
01:15:38The bread.
01:15:40It's almost laminated like a croissant, but grilled.
01:15:45I haven't seen bread this good since judging the Culinary Cup winner, Chef Maya Miller.
01:15:52The two chefs to move on to our final round are...
01:15:59The two chefs to move on to our final round are...
01:16:03Chef Vanessa Laurent!
01:16:05Yes!
01:16:06Whoo!
01:16:07And...
01:16:08Chef Haley Rivers!
01:16:09Yes!
01:16:10Whoo-hoo!
01:16:11Yes!
01:16:12And how about a round of applause for Chef Mark De Laurentiis?
01:16:18Wait, Mark.
01:16:19Why don't you join Mother's Table?
01:16:20Well, folks, it looks like we might have an alliance brewing over here.
01:16:23The Culinary Cup has never had two contestants join together.
01:16:27I was supposed to be his sous chef.
01:16:28Originally.
01:16:29We were supposed to work together.
01:16:30There are no rules against it, so it's up to Chef De Laurentiis.
01:16:32It's up to Chef De Laurentiis.
01:16:33No, I did not.
01:16:34No, I did not.
01:16:35No, I did not.
01:16:36Thanks.
01:16:37And now, all right.
01:16:38like we might have an alliance brewing over here.
01:16:41The Culinary Cup has never had two contestants
01:16:43join together.
01:16:46I was supposed to be his sous chef.
01:16:48Originally, we were supposed to work together.
01:16:53There are no rules against it.
01:16:55So it's up to Chef DeLorenza's.
01:17:03I don't know what to say, except
01:17:08you're going down, Vanessa.
01:17:11Well, folks, get ready for our final round
01:17:15right after these messages.
01:17:19So what's your better plan for tonight?
01:17:22Um, I was thinking maybe a quiche.
01:17:26Quiche?
01:17:27I don't know.
01:17:29I didn't actually think I'd get this far.
01:17:31Chefs, welcome to the final round of The Culinary Cup.
01:17:35Yeah.
01:17:36The theme of your final dish is the Last Supper.
01:17:41The judges would like to see a signature dish
01:17:43that defines your career.
01:17:45This is your final statement.
01:17:46The last dish you will want to leave on this earth.
01:17:49Let's get started.
01:17:50Three, two, one, go!
01:17:52Woo!
01:18:05I need this.
01:18:07OK.
01:18:08If you want to do this, we have to stop fighting, OK?
01:18:10OK.
01:18:11Think.
01:18:12What are our strengths?
01:18:13Well, you are the protein king, so.
01:18:16Please don't call me.
01:18:18What?
01:18:19You have the best meat I've ever tasted.
01:18:21OK, you can say that again.
01:18:25OK.
01:18:27Um, and you are clearly the pastry queen.
01:18:32So what's something that showcases both of our talents?
01:18:39What?
01:18:41You make the pastry.
01:18:43OK.
01:18:44And you make the tenderloin.
01:18:45Got it.
01:19:01Well, you've always been rough.
01:19:03Yeah.
01:19:04All right.
01:19:05Give me your meat.
01:19:10Well, it's time to make it a rice, huh?
01:19:16Now for my signature.
01:19:24Gange.
01:19:29Wow!
01:19:30It looks like Chef Laurent's finished with 10 minutes
01:19:33to spare.
01:19:46What do you want?
01:19:48I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for everything.
01:19:54Will you forgive me for the damage that I've caused?
01:20:06Mark, know her feelings, right?
01:20:12No.
01:20:13Your signature shallots.
01:20:18What an explosive garnish.
01:20:43Hey, are you OK?
01:20:45No.
01:20:46Did any oil hit you?
01:20:47No, I'm fine.
01:20:48I'm fine.
01:20:48I'm fine.
01:20:50It's Pete Wellington.
01:20:51It's ruined.
01:20:54Are we going to lose now?
01:20:56Hey, look.
01:20:57My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.
01:21:01But there's more to this world than just cups, stars,
01:21:05and...
01:21:07Donna Sides.
01:21:10Right?
01:21:17I have one more dish to go.
01:21:23It's impossible.
01:21:24No chef could win the culinary cup with only five minutes.
01:21:28And with no ingredients?
01:21:29If anyone could, it's Chef Rivers.
01:21:31The best stute I've ever had.
01:21:34What are you doing?
01:21:34We have only 12 minutes.
01:21:35So, him doesn't speak yourprit?
01:21:37First break.
01:21:39We're doing this.
01:21:41Oh, wow.
01:21:42Oh, man.
01:21:44Jean-Noah.
01:21:45addicted.
01:21:46Why are you doing that?
01:21:46A partook of life?
01:21:48I do р찬 kepopo,
01:21:49I know what you need.
01:21:49Now let's work,
01:21:50girl.
01:21:51You're doing this.
01:21:52I need to figure out to a video again.
01:21:53I'm not gonna've been enough,
01:21:55but what it was gonna have done.
01:21:56Is that how you were doing?
01:21:57That's fine.
01:21:58I know it is.
01:21:58What we'll do now,
01:22:00is it's gonna make things.
01:22:00What's going to do now?
01:22:02I know that all the rules.
01:22:04Hopefully we've gotta be prepared.
01:22:05What's this?
01:22:19She seems to have frozen in place.
01:22:21Is she choking?
01:22:27For you, Mark.
01:22:35For you, Mark.
01:23:05I call it Cloud Eggs, because behind the cloudy white is a red sun ready to shine.
01:23:20Do you like it?
01:23:23You know, I'm going to be the greatest chef in the world.
01:23:27Really?
01:23:29Maybe I will too.
01:23:31Then we should cook together.
01:23:33You could be my soul chef.
01:23:35You mean, sous chef?
01:23:37Pretty sure it's soul chef.
01:23:40Let's go.
01:23:42Mark, take my cookbook.
01:23:45So we could cook together again.
01:23:50It's you.
01:24:03It's you.
01:24:06It's always been you.
01:24:07Chef Maya Miller was my mother.
01:24:10You kept my notebook.
01:24:14All those years.
01:24:16You're my first soul chef.
01:24:18And the winner of this year's Culinary Cup by default is Vanessa Leran.
01:24:35Yes!
01:24:36Yes!
01:24:37That's my girl.
01:24:38That's my girl.
01:24:39Eat it, Hailey.
01:24:40Eat it.
01:24:41You loser.
01:24:42Yes!
01:24:43Woo!
01:24:45Well, I'm...
01:24:46I'm sorry I lied to you about who I am.
01:24:48And for being a spy.
01:24:50I'm sorry that I was such a dick.
01:24:56I'm an asshole.
01:24:58So apparently you can't be both.
01:25:02Hailey, can you forgive me?
01:25:09Hailey, can you forgive me?
01:25:11Only if you forgive me first.
01:25:20My mother spent their whole lives chasing that cup.
01:25:23Yeah.
01:25:24And they lost themselves to win it.
01:25:27We win!
01:25:28You lose!
01:25:30How's it feel to eat my leftovers?
01:25:32Now you're not the only millionaire in town with a hot chef girlfriend.
01:25:37You got that wrong.
01:25:38Oh, do I?
01:25:39I am a billionaire, not a millionaire.
01:25:45Prove it.
01:25:47Okay.
01:25:48I can afford to serve another knuckle sandwich.
01:25:59In your face!
01:26:09Congratulations.
01:26:17You are a shitty person, but a good chef.
01:26:21I just hope we can heal.
01:26:25So, let's talk business.
01:26:28Where do you want to open Mother's Table?
01:26:31In case you still want to cook with me.
01:26:33Oh, I want to do a lot more.
01:26:36Me too.
01:26:36Hailey, ever since we were kids, you showed me what flavor really means.
01:26:56Not just in food, but in life.
01:26:58You're not just my love.
01:26:59You're my first, you're my last forever soul, chef.
01:27:08Hailey, brothers.
01:27:09Yes.
01:27:10Do you want to marry me?
01:27:13Yes, chef.
01:27:13I love you.
01:27:26I love you too.
01:27:27Hey, you two.
01:27:38Get a room or a restaurant.
01:27:43Sorry.
01:27:45Sometimes we get a little carried away.
01:27:47Well, thank you all for being here today.
01:27:49This is a special occasion for my wife and I.
01:27:52I've always dreamed of building a restaurant, and I couldn't have asked for a better partner than Mark.
01:27:56Mother's Table is an all-day brunch spot that celebrates that food can be simple yet delicious.
01:28:02Now, we all know that baker, chef De Laurentiis, is a great chef.
01:28:07Today, besides our beautiful food, we have special exciting news to share.
01:28:13I've got a bun in the oven.
01:28:17Okay, okay, everybody.
01:28:20Enough talking.
01:28:21Let's get cooking.
