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 Ruggles.
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.
00:01:54It's not good.
00:01:56It's a fucking piece of trash!
00:01:59Take your everything off it.
00:02:01You're fired.
00:02:03Am I stuttering?
00:02:08So, who wants a cup?
00:02:14I...
00:02:18Oh, I'm so, so sorry.
00:02:23I slipped, I...
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?
00:02:59You have three chances to cook me a steak, to satisfy me.
00:03:09Or you'll be fired.
00:03:11Just what I would expect from a pastry chef.
00:03:26You didn't even try it.
00:03:27Less butter, instead of fucking croissant.
00:03:31This is drier than the fucking Sahara.
00:03:35More butter.
00:03:37I know.
00:03:38My secret ingredient.
00:04:05My secret ingredient.
00:04:08I don't know.
00:04:09I don't know.
00:04:10I don't know.
00:04:11I don't know.
00:04:12It tastes...
00:04:16Familiar.
00:04:18Did you swore me?
00:04:20Yes.
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.
00:04:39Unlike you, you're in cleanup, do you from now on?
00:04:43Let the grease and the grime remind you to never be laid in my kitchen again.
00:04:51Thank you, chef.
00:04:52Not thank you, chef. Yes, chef.
00:04:54Yes, chef.
00:04:55Okay, guys.
00:04:57So the culinary cup is in two weeks, and I'm going to win.
00:05:01Yes, chef.
00:05:02Yes, chef!
00:05:02Yes, chef.
00:05:05Hey, um, are you okay?
00:05:11Yeah, all good. I was just cutting onions.
00:05:16It's okay. You can trust me.
00:05:18I 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.
00:05:27Mark De Laurentiis may have a great ass, but he is an overrated asshole.
00:05:32In my office, now.
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.
00:06:04Late night shift, kitchen dimming down.
00:06:08Caught your glance from across the heat.
00:06:11Am I fired?
00:06:13Why do you look familiar?
00:06:14Yeah.
00:06:14Yeah.
00:06:15Pulled me in deep.
00:06:20I've got the taste of you.
00:06:25Got me coming back for more.
00:06:27One taste ain't enough.
00:06:28I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:06:31Got me feeling high, feeling low.
00:06:33Feeling things I never knew before.
00:06:36Can't get enough.
00:06:37I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:06:40Taste of you.
00:06:41Guess who found a new buyer for his app? We're gonna be filthy rich.
00:06:47What? That's amazing!
00:06:49I know.
00:06:50Attaboy! Hey, I am so proud of you, son.
00:06:56If you only had half of Adrian's ambition, or brains, have a seat.
00:07:02Ooh, nice. Bon Appetit.
00:07:06So, Al's Desire, when did you meet Marquette?
00:07:10I did. He was...interesting.
00:07:16Interesting? What do you mean? Like, attractive?
00:07:23Hayley, what about the recipe? Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.
00:07:29I want to work with you at the Golden Table and continue Mom's legacy.
00:07:34And you will, after you get revenge for your mother.
00:07:38Now, the Golden Table used to be the number one restaurant in Los Angeles until Ingrid De Laurentiis stole your mom's recipes and beat her in the culinary cup.
00:07:49I know what I have to do. Steal the recipes, and then I will beat Mark in the culinary cup.
00:07:55Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.
00:07:58I don't even know where to look.
00:08:00During last year's culinary cup, he kept referring to a red notebook. It must be in there.
00:08:07Hmm.
00:08:08A red notebook. I've...I've seen it.
00:08:14Okay, listen up, chefs. Tonight, we are serving my newest creation. First, we need to try it.
00:08:33What did I tell you about being late?
00:08:49Are you not impressed?
00:08:52It's okay.
00:08:59The recipes are on your stations.
00:09:02Let'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?
00:09:22Um, I asked, uh, is it better?
00:09:26Follow me.
00:09:41No!
00:09:43I gotta try this out.
00:09:47It's pretty good. It's pretty good.
00:09:52Oh, that's so good.
00:09:55Right here.
00:10:05Take off your apron.
00:10:08If I'm fired, you can just tell me.
00:10:10Take.
00:10:12Off.
00:10:14Your.
00:10:18Apron.
00:10:25I want you.
00:10:26I want you to teach me recipes.
00:10:38Get up! Now!
00:10:42The kitchen is yours.
00:10:43Okay.
00:10:44So, the problem is in the sauce.
00:10:45Sauce?
00:10:46My last name is D. Laurentis.
00:10:47My ancestors basically invented the sauce.
00:10:48What's wrong with the sauce?
00:10:49Okay, Godfather.
00:10:50I didn't mean to offend you.
00:10:51Can I show you something?
00:10:52Yeah.
00:10:53Go ahead.
00:10:54So, instead of parsley, I use a dash of throwby.
00:10:58Throwby.
00:10:59Yeah.
00:11:00The Greek herb.
00:11:01I know what throwby is, okay?
00:11:02I knew a girl once.
00:11:04Actually, she was a lot like you.
00:11:07Uh, wow.
00:11:08A lot like me.
00:11:09Do you want to try?
00:11:10Yeah.
00:11:11May I?
00:11:12Okay.
00:11:13Okay.
00:11:14Okay.
00:11:15Go ahead.
00:11:16Go ahead.
00:11:17Go ahead.
00:11:18So, instead of parsley, I use a dash of throwby.
00:11:19Throwby.
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:21The Greek herb.
00:11:22I know what throwby is, okay?
00:11:23I knew a girl once.
00:11:24Actually, she was a lot like you.
00:11:27Uh, wow.
00:11:28Uh, a lot like me.
00:11:29That, what, um, do you want to try?
00:11:32Yeah.
00:11:33May I?
00:11:52Okay, um, I, I, I think the tomato sauce is burnt off.
00:11:56Okay.
00:11:57Hey.
00:11:58Calm down.
00:11:59That's easy to say if you don't have a Michelin star restaurant with over 400 covers a night.
00:12:05Okay, maybe you need to chill.
00:12:07You're gonna 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.
00:12:17Now.
00:12:19Fuckin' jerk.
00:12:30Why does this feel wrong?
00:12:34Remember what he did to your mom and the golden table.
00:12:39Oh!
00:12:40What are you doing?
00:12:43I, I 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?
00:12:57Mark's ex sous chef slash ex-fiance.
00:13:01Ex-fiance?
00:13:02What happened?
00:13:03Well, what always happens when two beautiful chefs get cooking in a hot kitchen together?
00:13:09Spicy romance.
00:13:10But, 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?
00:13:31So, first I'm an asshole and no 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.
00:13:51Um, maybe tomorrow I can stop by.
00:13:54Help with the recipes.
00:13:56For the Culinary Cup.
00:13:58Come early.
00:14:00I have some private tasting for you.
00:14:11What are you smiling about?
00:14:20Adrian, what are you doing here?
00:14:24I wanted to surprise you.
00:14:25Where 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.
00:14:38I love to cook.
00:14:39You know that.
00:14:40Oh, if you love cooking so much, then make me dinner.
00:14:42I miss your smell and taste.
00:14:43Come on.
00:14:44I'm busy, Mark.
00:14:45Mark?
00:14:46What did you just call me?
00:14:47Oh, God.
00:14:48I'm sorry.
00:14:49I'm so tired.
00:14:50I demand you quick desire.
00:14:51Quick desire.
00:14:52I'm not now.
00:14:53I'm not asking.
00:14:54But I'm so close.
00:14:55Tonight when I was alone with him, he almost let me see his notebook.
00:14:56You were alone with Mark?
00:14:57You were alone with Mark?
00:14:58We were cooking.
00:14:59Just cooking.
00:15:00You know what?
00:15:01You know what?
00:15:02That's it.
00:15:03I've had enough of this.
00:15:04I've had enough of this.
00:15:05I've tolerated your stupid little chef dream for long enough.
00:15:06This is too far.
00:15:07I forbid you to do that.
00:15:08I'm sorry.
00:15:09I'm sorry.
00:15:10I'm so tired.
00:15:11I demand you quick desire.
00:15:13Quick 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?
00:15:27That's it.
00:15:28I've had enough of this.
00:15:29I'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.
00:15:38Forbid me.
00:15:43Baby, I'm sorry.
00:15:44I'm sorry.
00:15:45I hate the idea of him even laying a finger on you.
00:15:50I mean, you hate him, right?
00:15:59Right?
00:16:00Of course.
00:16:01Of course.
00:16:02Of course.
00:16:03I hate Mark De Laurentiis.
00:16:04I'm only running for one thing.
00:16:07Avenge.
00:16:08Oh, you're early.
00:16:09Yeah.
00:16:10Come on.
00:16:11You inspired me last night, so I thought you would be the first one to try my new dish.
00:16:29What do you think?
00:16:30Hmm.
00:16:31Be honest.
00:16:32It's good.
00:16:33Your meat, the truffle, it's flawless.
00:16:36It's really good.
00:16:37Good.
00:16:38Do you think good will win the culinary cup?
00:16:39Tell me, what do I need?
00:16:40What you need is to knead the dough.
00:16:41Here.
00:16:42Pastry is like us.
00:16:43It needs a deep tissue massage.
00:16:44It needs a deep tissue massage.
00:16:45It's good.
00:16:46It's good.
00:16:47It's good.
00:16:48It's good.
00:16:49Your meat, the truffle, it's flawless.
00:16:50It's really good.
00:16:51Good.
00:16:52Do you think good will win the culinary cup?
00:16:57Tell me, what do I need?
00:16:59What you need is to knead the dough.
00:17:02Here.
00:17:03Knead.
00:17:04I need the nutritionist.
00:17:05Okay.
00:17:06I love it.
00:17:07What do you think?
00:17:08I love it.
00:17:09I love it.
00:17:10Pastry is like us.
00:17:11We need a deep tissue massage.
00:17:13Okay, okay, okay.
00:17:20Relax, relax, cheese, gentle.
00:17:23You have to love the dough.
00:17:26Okay, so knead, stretch, fold.
00:17:41Knead, stretch, stretch, fold.
00:17:56There you go. Gentle. Gentle.
00:18:04Feels good.
00:18:06There, just like that.
00:18:19There, good. Not too fast.
00:18:23Do you feel it?
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:29Okay, now. Faster.
00:18:34Now it starts to smooth out.
00:18:36It's ready, okay?
00:18:37Now?
00:18:38Almost.
00:18:42Now.
00:18:53Wow. That's amazing.
00:19:08Wow. That's amazing.
00:19:20Wow.
00:19:21What's up, Chef?
00:19:22Yeah.
00:19:23I guess certain privileges come with your new position.
00:19:36What new position?
00:19:37Whatever position Mark wants you in.
00:19:38Look, Vanessa, I don't know what you saw, but he just wanted me to taste his new dish.
00:19:48And did you taste it standing up or on your knees?
00:19:49I'm just playing with you, prep girl. Good for you. Living my dream. But if you're going to sneak around the kitchen, be sure to clean up your messes.
00:20:03Like that hickey on your neck. No, it's for my boyfriend.
00:20:06Boyfriend? What's his name?
00:20:07Adrian Blackwell. Adrian Blackwell.
00:20:08I should be heading out.
00:20:09I'm just playing with you, prep girl. I'm just playing with you, prep girl. Good for you. Living my dream. But if you're going to sneak around the kitchen, be sure to clean up your messes. Like that hickey on your neck.
00:20:18No, it's for my boyfriend.
00:20:23Boyfriend? What's his name?
00:20:25Adrian Blackwell.
00:20:26Adrian Blackwell.
00:20:28I should be heading out.
00:20:38Haley. Why are you still here?
00:20:41Chef, we need to talk.
00:20:46What's wrong?
00:20:49What happened was a mistake.
00:20:52I mean, I don't want to, like, offend you. Obviously, I was into it. I, I, but...
00:21:02My dish? My kiss?
00:21:07Both. But you're my boss. And I think it is best if we keep things professional.
00:21:18Yes, I respect your decision. But 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. Say yes, Chef.
00:21:38Vanessa, these dishes won't wash themselves.
00:21:41Vanessa, do you know what I admire about you?
00:21:47That I'm a better cook than you?
00:21:51No, that you have ambition. And you have fun doing it.
00:21:56So what do you say? Do you want to join me on this work trip?
00:22:01Because I bet I will get inspired for my new recipes.
00:22:04Oh, I'm, like, for the culinary company.
00:22:09Yeah.
00:22:10Hm.
00:22:21Oh, my God.
00:22:22Oh, my God.
00:22:23Oh, my God.
00:22:25Oh, my God.
00:22:27Yes.
00:22:28Thank you so much. I love you 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.
00:22:53I'll see you.
00:22:54Oh, by the way, coffee.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:56Who the hell is she?
00:23:13Oh, my God.
00:23:14I love this song.
00:23:15Hm.
00:23:22Don't forget, Hayley.
00:23:23You're here for revenge, not love.
00:23:41Are we almost there?
00:23:42It's about an hour to go still.
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?
00:24:03Look at this.
00:24:05Um, another girlfriend, I see.
00:24:07Hey.
00:24:09No, no, I'm just one of Mark's chefs.
00:24:12That's what the last one said.
00:24:14Should we go look at the crops?
00:24:16Look 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.
00:24:41Thanks.
00:24:46This 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.
00:25:00You bought it?
00:25:01The farm.
00:25:02That means we have access to the herb garden too.

00:25:10We have spaghetti squash, Jerusalem artichokes, and our beautiful lemons.

00:35:37Come on.
00:35:38Yeah.
00:35:39Oh, my birthday's not for another month.
00:35:40I invited all of us here today to share in this magical moment.
00:35:43Dad, and Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell, Adrian, what's going on?
00:35:44First, I'd like to tell everyone here that you are now looking at America's newest millionaire.
00:35:50You sold the company.
00:35:51Congratulations.
00:35:52Now that we're rich, I think it's time to move on to our next chapter.
00:35:57Haley Rivers, we we've been here to see James.
00:36:25Hayley Rivers, will you marry me?
00:36:33Mark, slow down, all right?
00:36:35Remember what happened with Dominique?
00:36:38Your 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, all right?
00:36:47You're scaring me.
00:36:48I don't like this happy dancing Mark, all right?
00:36:55That's a yes!
00:36:56That's a yes!
00:36:57That's a yes!
00:36:58It fits!
00:36:59Congratulations, honey.
00:37:00Wow!
00:37:01We're missionaries!
00:37:02Oh, yeah.
00:37:03I would also like to announce that I will be buying the golden table and I will be buying
00:37:24the golden table as a gift to my new fiancee.
00:37:28Signed this morning.
00:37:31What?
00:37:32Adrian, why don't we talk?
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:35Okay, give us one second.
00:37:37It's done.
00:37:38You no longer have to work for that smug bastard de la rent or whatever, okay?
00:37:42You can just stay home.
00:37:43Diego, you are my best friend.
00:37:46My only friend.
00:37:49She's the right one.
00:37:51Trust me.
00:37:52Mark, at least let me meet her.
00:37:56You know her.
00:37:57You actually introduced us.
00:38:00And I'm thinking to propose to her after we win the culinary camp.
00:38:05But I'm this close to getting Mark's recipes.
00:38:12Mark?
00:38:13What?
00:38:14Haley, what is going on?
00:38:16Do you love him?
00:38:18Adrian, I...
00:38:20No.
00:38:21I can never love him.
00:38:22I'm just using him for revenge.
00:38:23I'm going to destroy Mark de la rentis.
00:38:39Oh, here you are.
00:38:44I 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 Haley and I...
00:39:03Haley and I perfected de la rentis beef wellington.
00:39:09From today moving onwards, Haley 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 and also join me in the competition.
00:39:22Haley, what are you saying?
00:39:25It would be an honor.
00:39:27Chef.
00:39:29Okay, guys.
00:39:30So 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!
00:39:55Take your apron off.
00:39:57Um...
00:39:58Okay.
00:40:07Rah.
00:40:14Mark.
00:40:15Mark, stop.
00:40:16Stop.
00:40:17We have to get back to the kitchen.
00:40:18We can't stop.
00:40:19Stop.
00:40:20I am done playing games.
00:40:21Okay.
00:40:22Haley, I want you.
00:40:25This time for real, Haley 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.
00:40:35You are funny.
00:40:36And you are sexy as hell.
00:40:38And I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:40:47Mark, you have to get back to the kitchen.
00:40:52To the hell of the kitchen.
00:40:53All desire can burn.
00:40:54I don't care, okay?
00:40:55Do you feel that?
00:40:59Feel it.
00:41:00My heart...
00:41:07Is beating for you.
00:41:09And all of you.
00:41:11Fine.
00:41:12Let desire burn, then.
00:41:14I want to be the first time at De Laurentiis,
00:41:16Let a successful business burn.
00:41:18Bigger than golden table.
00:41:19I'm not thinking of golden kitchen, right?
00:41:40He did it!
00:41:42So what is he cooking?
00:41:45I don't know.
00:41:46I haven't looked yet.
00:41:47I...
00:41:48I couldn't.
00:41:50I feel like a cheater.
00:41:51We can now enter the golden table into the culinary cup
00:41:54and with Mark's recipes,
00:41:56we're sure to win.
00:42:01Wait a minute.
00:42:03Is this a joke?
00:42:07That's his recipe book.
00:42:09These are not Mark's recipes.
00:42:10These are yours!
00:42:14Grilled cheese,
00:42:15spaghetti,
00:42:16cloud eggs.
00:42:17What the hell is a cloud egg?
00:42:19Oh.
00:42:20No.
00:42:22This is my handwriting,
00:42:23but I don't even remember writing these.
00:42:25This is from when you were a kid.
00:42:28When the both of you used to play together.
00:42:29Who are you trying to fool?
00:42:31I don't know what to tell you.
00:42:33I stole this from him.
00:42:34Hmm.
00:42:35Why would he be reading your childhood recipes?
00:42:42He'd be reading your childhood recipes.
00:42:45Maybe she got him next step.
00:42:46You know, there was this one time where she took my phone instead.
00:42:47Okay, okay.
00:42:48That was one time.
00:42:50And no, this is his notebook.
00:42:52You are so perfect.
00:43:00Go get this real recipe!
00:43:04Go, go!
00:43:06You know what, Dad?
00:43:08That's it.
00:43:11I 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.
00:43:29Which she totally botched.
00:43:30I'm you.
00:43:31You have treated me like shit ever since you got a taste of success with your shitty little startup.
00:43:46I wouldn't call selling a business for millions stupid.
00:43:50It's a chain.
00:43:51I'm done with both of you.
00:44:03Well, what about Golden Table?
00:44:05Don't you care for this family?
00:44:07Yes, I care.
00:44:08All I do is think about the Golden Table.
00:44:11But I'm done.
00:44:14Hey!
00:44:16Get back here!
00:44:21Hey!
00:44:34What's going on?
00:44:35Shhh!
00:44:37This is my kitchen now.
00:44:39From 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.
00:44:49Chef.
00:44:51Take off your shirt.
00:45:09Taste me.
00:45:11Yes.
00:45:12Chef.
00:45:21Good morning.
00:45:22I thought it's time for some classic brunch.
00:45:27Scrambled eggs and croissant?
00:45:28I'm just my favorite meal.
00:45:29Mine too.
00:45:30I'm starving.
00:45:31Let's get cooking.
00:45:32Let's get cooking.
00:45:33No.
00:45:34No.
00:45:35No.
00:45:36It's the taste of you.
00:45:37No.
00:45:38Yes, chef.
00:45:39No.
00:45:40No.
00:45:41No.
00:45:42No.
00:45:43No.
00:45:44No.
00:45:45No.
00:45:46No.
00:45:47No.
00:45:48No.
00:45:49No.
00:45:50No.
00:45:51No.
00:45:52No.
00:45:53No.
00:45:54Oh, it's the taste of you, it's the taste of you
00:45:58The taste, got me coming back for more
00:46:01Gotta have more, can't get me enough
00:46:03I'm addicted to the taste of you
00:46:06Got me feeling high, feeling low
00:46:09Feeling things I never knew before
00:46:11Can't get enough, I can't, I can't
00:46:14I'm addicted to the taste of you
00:46:17So, how much time do we have?
00:46:20Hmm, about 30 minutes?
00:46:2430 minutes
00:46:25Why do you have my notebook?
00:46:44I found it
00:46:45I found it, and I have the same one when I was little
00:46:49So, I must have got them confused
00:46:52Belonged to her
00:46:58The girl who made me fall in love with cooking
00:47:02I call it Cloud Eggs
00:47:06You can't be me, Soul Chef
00:47:08You mean, Sous Chef?
00:47:10Pretty sure it's Soul Chef
00:47:11That was actually the last time I saw her
00:47:13Our mothers got into an argument
00:47:16And then I, and 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?
00:47:25I had an impression from childhood
00:47:27Strangely stick
00:47:30And somehow
00:47:36I became my mom
00:47:38Cooking for profit
00:47:39And sometimes revenge
00:47:42Well, it's
00:47:44Easy to get lost
00:47:46Cook for the wrong reasons
00:47:49Until I met you
00:47:51You made me fall in love
00:47:57Not just with cooking
00:47:59Mark, I
00:47:59There's something I have to tell you
00:48:03Shit
00:48:07I got called in early for Mother's Day
00:48:14You ready for Mayan?
00:48:16I'll tell him tonight
00:48:22Adrian Blackwell
00:48:31I work at Desire
00:48:33And I have some information
00:48:35You might be interested in
00:48:36I'm not interested
00:48:38Please leave
00:48:39Haley and Mark
00:48:44Are having an affair
00:48:46Haley and Mark
00:48:49Are having an affair
00:48:51Bitch
00:48:52Should have known she was a liar
00:48:55Question is
00:48:57How can we ruin her?
00:49:00What does she love the most?
00:49:05Her family restaurant
00:49:07You heard of the golden table?
00:49:10She's the daughter of Chef Maya
00:49:12On top of stealing my love
00:49:16She already owns her own restaurant
00:49:18Not anymore
00:49:20Her father sold it to me
00:49:21I was going to gift it back to Haley
00:49:24Now you need
00:49:28A new chef
00:49:29And partner in crime
00:49:31What flavor of crime are you thinking?
00:49:36I need a few ideas
00:49:40Look, I don't understand, okay?
00:49:47Chef, our supplier said Haley cancelled our whole order
00:49:50Me?
00:49:52What?
00:49:52No, I didn't
00:49:54Look, today is Mother's Day, okay?
00:49:57We have the first seating in one hour
00:49:58And you're telling me
00:49:59We don't have any food?
00:50:03Chef?
00:50:04These are worse
00:50:05But way worse
00:50:06We've been waiting for an hour
00:50:10This better be good
00:50:11I pay thousands
00:50:13Three mentionless stars in my ass
00:50:15How about a one-star Yelp review?
00:50:17Ladies and gentlemen
00:50:18Please remain calm
00:50:19There seems to be a minor glitch
00:50:21In our reservation system
00:50:22Hey, what's going on?
00:50:27Well, everybody's reservations somehow got booked
00:50:30For the same kind
00:50:31We're overbooked and we don't have any food?
00:50:41I have the best hackers in Silicon Valley on my payroll
00:50:44Desires reservation systems
00:50:46I'm a fucking joke
00:50:47I might just cancel 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
00:50:58I think we have to cancel today's service
00:51:07Or we could embrace the chaos
00:51:13Diego, go out there and tell everyone that they will be having an omikase menu tonight
00:51:19Servers, make sure everybody stays happy
00:51:22Clear the tables
00:51:24Pump up the music
00:51:25And bring out the wine
00:51:27We're having a Mother's Day party tonight
00:51:29Come on, go
00:51:31Everybody go
00:51:32What are you waiting for?
00:51:33Yes, Chef
00:51:34Okay, what are you waiting for?
00:51:38You 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
00:51:45All of the suppliers are closed
00:51:47Mark, follow me
00:51:51How would you like to be our supplier for today?
00:52:03We need protein
00:52:04We have chicken nuggets
00:52:08Chicken nuggets?
00:52:10Yes
00:52:11Well
00:52:11What are we doing with chicken nuggets?
00:52:13We could deconstruct these
00:52:15Potato chips
00:52:16Wasabi peas
00:52:18Crusted chicken
00:52:19With
00:52:20Toys sauce
00:52:21Honey reduction glaze
00:52:23Sweet and sour umami
00:52:25Yes
00:52:25And instant ramen for extra texture
00:52:28What are you thinking for dessert?
00:52:38Okay, we have ice cream
00:52:39Do you have coffee?
00:52:42Yes, we do
00:52:43But we just ran out
00:52:44But I could brew some more
00:52:45How much of a risk are you willing to take on me?
00:52:58Can we do whatever it takes?
00:53:01Okay, coffee please
00:53:02Yes, yes, coffee
00:53:03And how are we doing tonight, gentlemen?
00:53:12It's taking out so long
00:53:15Okay, chefs, come on
00:53:22We're already late
00:53:23Let's cook like we've never cooked before, okay?
00:53:26Yes
00:53:26Let's go
00:53:27Chicken nuggets
00:53:29One for the peas
00:53:38Dinner is served, everyone
00:53:52Now, we know this is not our usual menu tonight
00:53:57So we appreciate you all for being so flexible
00:54:00And because it's Mother's Day
00:54:03Everything is on the house
00:54:04They're enjoying themselves
00:54:10Are you ready to make something sweet?
00:54:27Chef
00:54:28Oh my god
00:54:29This is so good
00:54:31You should try it
00:54:32Chef, why are you eating this slurpee?
00:54:35Have you never had rumble to work?
00:54:37No
00:54:37I'm clearly missing
00:54:38Okay, that's great
00:54:40Well, let's get back to work, please
00:54:41Thank you
00:54:42Hand that over
00:54:43Oh
00:54:44And for our last dish of the night
00:54:50We present a wild berry granita
00:54:53Enjoy
00:54:56Enjoy
00:54:57Thank you for a wonderful evening
00:55:00Wow, just off tips alone
00:55:04That was our most lucrative night
00:55:06Ever
00:55:07And we've gone viral on social media
00:55:11Thanks to you, Hailey
00:55:12She saved us
00:55:15Thank you
00:55:20Oh, and Mark
00:55:21There was a VIP guest here
00:55:23Who wanted to give his personal compliments
00:55:24To the chef
00:55:25Yeah, please
00:55:28Take a seat
00:55:30Now I heard your food was exquisite
00:55:38But after tasting it myself
00:55:40It's worse than convenience store food
00:55:43Um, excuse me
00:55:46I thought you wanted to give your compliments
00:55:48Compliments to the chefs
00:55:49Compliments?
00:55:50No, no
00:55:51Complaints
00:55:53This was the worst experience I've ever had
00:55:56In my dining career
00:55:57So tell me
00:55:59Who's responsible?
00:56:00I take full responsibility
00:56:04So tell me
00:56:06Is there anything we can do
00:56:08To make this right?
00:56:09Or you could start by firing her
00:56:14Um
00:56:17Well
00:56:18I am sorry to say
00:56:21But our sous-chef
00:56:22Is irreplaceable I desire
00:56:25I get it now
00:56:28You two are fucking
00:56:31Tell me
00:56:33How long has this been going on
00:56:36You slut
00:56:36Hey
00:56:39Watch it
00:56:41Where have you been doing it?
00:56:44The kitchen?
00:56:46Oh
00:56:47Are you going to finish that?
00:56:57So the culinary cup is this weekend, right?
00:57:06So I need to tell you my recipes, right?
00:57:08Oh, um
00:57:09Your recipes
00:57:11Ever since my ex stole them
00:57:13I'm
00:57:14Never writing them down
00:57:16I always have them
00:57:17Locked in here
00:57:18But I know I can trust you
00:57:20So for the first dish
00:57:22I thought
00:57:23No, um
00:57:23You know what
00:57:25Actually, don't tell me
00:57:27But I need to tell you
00:57:29The dish
00:57:30If you want to win
00:57:32The cup
00:57:33Okay
00:57:35So for the first dish
00:57:36I thought
00:57:36I'm not
00:57:37I'm not who you think I am
00:57:38I'm not who you think I am
00:57:44Who are you?
00:57:49My mom left that year
00:57:56She said
00:57:56That is
00:57:57One of her most cherished memories
00:57:59Do you know her?
00:58:02Yes
00:58:02Chef Maya
00:58:04She's
00:58:07The first woman who
00:58:08Won the culinary cup
00:58:09My mom and her were actually besties
00:58:11Before they had a fallout
00:58:13After she lost
00:58:15Lost?
00:58:17Wow
00:58:17Really?
00:58:19Your mom stole
00:58:20Chef Maya's recipes
00:58:21My mom did what?
00:58:24She was jealous
00:58:25That Chef Maya beat her
00:58:27So she stole her recipes
00:58:29To try and win the next year
00:58:30And then she tried to buy out
00:58:32The golden table
00:58:33Who told you that nonsense?
00:58:35Why did your mom make
00:58:37Several of Chef Maya's dishes
00:58:38At the culinary cup, huh?
00:58:41See?
00:58:42She's got nothing
00:58:43Look, I was a kid
00:58:45And I was in the kitchen
00:58:47At the kitchen staff talking
00:58:48Chef Maya's husband
00:58:50Gave my mother
00:58:52The recipes
00:58:53You're lying
00:58:55Why?
00:58:57I don't believe you
00:58:58They were having an affair
00:59:00I remember my mom told me
00:59:06That Chef Maya
00:59:07Wanted to sell the golden table
00:59:09Because she wanted to
00:59:10Quit luxury dining
00:59:11And she wanted to
00:59:12Focus on what she lost
00:59:13Pastries
00:59:15No, I don't believe you
00:59:16And that's when
00:59:17Chef Maya's husband
00:59:19Started visiting you
00:59:20No, stop
00:59:22It's not true
00:59:23It is true
00:59:25Wait, why are you so emotional?
00:59:30Do you
00:59:31Work for the golden table?
00:59:39Out of all the restaurants in LA
00:59:41How did you end up in my kitchen?
00:59:43I came to steal your recipes
00:59:45To represent the golden table
00:59:47In the culinary cup
00:59:47And take down desire
00:59:49In the same way
00:59:49That 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
00:59:59But it's
01:00:00Get out!
01:00:01Mark
01:00:01Please
01:00:03I can explain
01:00:04What else did you lie about?
01:00:06Are you married?
01:00:08Do you have kids?
01:00:10I
01:00:10I was engaged
01:00:12Engaged?
01:00:17Holy shit
01:00:21To the guy that I punched?
01:00:24Is that the guy?
01:00:25Huh?
01:00:26Yes, but I broke it off
01:00:27Okay?
01:00:28And
01:00:28And it's
01:00:29It's not happening anymore
01:00:31I don't love him
01:00:32I love you
01:00:33So Diego was right
01:00:41You're just like Dominique
01:00:44Mark
01:00:45No, he's
01:00:46You're fired!
01:00:47Hayley
01:00:48Elizabeth
01:00:49Whoever the fuck you are
01:00:51Get out
01:00:53Get out!
01:00:55Get out!
01:00:55Get out!
01:00:57Get out!
01:01:11Yes, this is Hayley Robertson
01:01:23Oh my god
01:01:25I'll be there in a second
01:01:28Dad!
01:01:33Dad!
01:01:34Hayley?
01:01:34He took it
01:01:37He took it
01:01:37He took it
01:01:38Everything
01:01:39Oh
01:01:40Who?
01:01:40Who took what?
01:01:42Adrian!
01:01:43He keeps me out
01:01:44He took the cone table from us, Hayley
01:01:47No, no, he can't do that
01:01:49No, no, he can't do that
01:01:50I signed over to him
01:01:52And now that you guys are broken up
01:01:55Hayley, you gotta get to go and table pack for us
01:01:59For your mother
01:02:00For your mother
01:02:01For your mother
01:02:02I'll be there in a second
01:02:03If you don't
01:02:04I'll be there in a second
01:02:05Stanley, she could be going with the party of the rest.
01:02:13Well, well, well.
01:02:15If it isn't my ex-fiancé.
01:02:21Adrian, I'm so, so sorry.
01:02:24But please, give me my mother's restaurant back.
01:02:30And what do I get in return?
01:02:32I can cook for you.
01:02:34I can, anything.
01:02:37But please, it's all I have left of her.
01:02:40Can't you see, Haley?
01:02:41I'm trying to ruin your life.
01:02:43You and your pretty little boyfriend.
01:02:46Haley, 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?
01:02:56After you stole Mark and my dream job?
01:03:00Friends?
01:03:04We 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.
01:03:19I 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, Haley, it's okay.
01:03:37Sit.
01:03:37Why did you make me a spy?
01:03:46Why 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, well, Mark told me a pretty outrageous lie.
01:04:04He said that you and Ingrid De Laurentiis were having an affair.
01:04:08And that you gave her mom's recipes before the competition.
01:04:12Don't.
01:04:14Don't.
01:04:18Okay.
01:04:20It's time to tell you the truth.
01:04:22The truth is, your mother, she wanted to close the golden table and 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.
01:04:47Well, Ingrid, oh, she had a vision for an empire of restaurants desire.
01:04:55And I knew that she could go all the way.
01:04:57And she did.
01:04:59You're a despicable man.
01:05:03Haley, you've got to understand.
01:05:05Ingrid and I, we were in love.
01:05:07Not just with each other, but with fame, fortune, glory.
01:05:16And then when your mother, she lost the competition.
01:05:22She got sick.
01:05:25She couldn't cook.
01:05:27She couldn't eat.
01:05:29And she had to use the feeding tube.
01:05:31It was torture.
01:05:35When she died.
01:05:37So did Archery.
01:05:41We were so guilty.
01:05:42I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:44Then why the obsession with taking down the De Laurentises?
01:05:49To keep your mom's legacy alive.
01:05:52The golden table, that was life's work.
01:05:59Don'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.
01:06:17Hey, Haley.
01:06:18Ow.
01:06:19Chef, good luck at the culinary competition tomorrow.
01:06:35I know you're going to win.
01:06:36Is there anything else I can maybe help you with?
01:06:39I heard that Haley is no longer with us.
01:06:42I just got finished washing the dishes, so.
01:06:44Please, just let me be.
01:06:49You're dismissed.
01:06:53Fucking hell.
01:06:54Chef, I was always invisible to you.
01:07:06I heard that the competition is going to be explosive this year.
01:07:09Do you know what happens when dry ice needs boiling water?
01:07:14Good luck.
01:07:16Good luck.
01:07:16Chef.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:26Mark.
01:07:27Let me see.
01:07:28Let me see.
01:07:28Let 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 suit, 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.
01:08:07Pumpkin, how's life?
01:08:11You're okay.
01:08:12Looks like something's wrong.
01:08:14Dad, I'm...
01:08:15I 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?
01:08:39No, no.
01:08:39It's okay.
01:08:40Oh, my gosh.
01:08:42Mark.
01:08:44Does he love you, too?
01:08:45He loathes me.
01:08:48What?
01:08:49He just fired me for being a spy.
01:08:52Now Adrian's going to sabotage the culinary cup, and I don't even have a restaurant to get in, so...
01:08:58Okay.
01:08:59That's it.
01:09:00I...
01:09:00No, Dad!
01:09:01You're sick.
01:09:02I'm sick of this hospital.
01:09:04Come on, sneak me out of here, please.
01:09:07Look.
01:09:08I have a solution.
01:09:15Welcome to the annual Culinary Cup.
01:09:17Over 100 chefs battled, and America voted to bring the six most talented to the stage today.
01:09:24Now, let's meet our contestants.
01:09:26Mark Diller enters 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.
01:09:38Oh, that's too bad.
01:09:39Because 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.
01:09:51Looks like we have our first backstabbing of the competition.
01:09:56Now 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.
01:10:05Now I am going to crush you and Desire.
01:10:11And finally, our wild card entry from a viral pop-up food cart.
01:10:17Let's welcome.
01:10:28I'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, at Mother's Table, we believe that food doesn't have to be fancy to be good.
01:10:42And 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!
01:10:57Let's welcome Hayley Rivers.
01:10:59Ruffin' Mother's Table.
01:11:00Hey!
01:11:00Hey!
01:11:00Hey!
01:11:01Hey!
01:11:01Hey!

01:11:04Hey!
01:11:04Hey!
01:11:04Hey!
01:11:05Hey!
01:11:05Hey!
01:11:11By the end of today, one chef will be crowned the Culinary Cup Champion!
01:11:17Woo!
01:11:19First 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!
01:11:34Time's up, chefs!
01:11:35Now, first up, Chef Laurent.
01:11:36This is my yuzu and smoothie.
01:11:40This is my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche.
01:11:41My hope is to invoke a cool ocean breeze with each bite.
01:11:42Oh, it's my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche.
01:11:43My hope is to invoke a cool ocean breeze with each bite.
01:11:44This is my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche.
01:11:49My hope is to invoke a cool ocean breeze with each bite.
01:11:50Now, first up, Chef Laurent.
01:11:51Now, first up, Chef Laurent.
01:11:52This is my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche.
01:11:54Time's up, Chef Laurent.
01:11:55Now, first up, Chef Laurent.
01:11:56This is my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche.
01:11:57My hope is to invoke a cool ocean breeze with each bite.
01:12:01For the appetizer, I prepared a Wagyu tartar and to balance the heavy flavor, I have balsamic made
01:12:08out of scarlet bell strawberries.
01:12:14Hello, um, hi, judges.
01:12:36At my pop-up mother's table, we value comfort.
01:12:40And, uh, two of my favorite things to bake are flans and tarts.
01:12:46So, this is a tart flan.
01:12:49It's fusion?
01:12:51Call me a traditionalist, but I won't ever taste fusion food.
01:12:56It's effortless.
01:12:57It's not fusion.
01:12:58It's something completely new.
01:13:00The judges have voted.
01:13:03The following three will move on in the second round.
01:13:07Mark DeLaurentis, Vanessa Laurent, and Hailey Rivers.
01:13:20Well, before we proceed, let's hear a few words from our three finalists.
01:13:25Chef DeLaurentis, 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 Laurent, she's an excellent dishwasher.
01:13:42Although I found a little stain in her dish.
01:13:47You are fired, by the way.
01:13:49And Chef Rivers.
01:13:51She is a dangerous woman.
01:13:54And an excellent chef.
01:13:56Mark is a lousy excuse of a man.
01:14:00And Hailey only got to where she got because she swapped her way to the top.
01:14:04What do you have to say for yourself, Chef Rivers?
01:14:09Um, I think 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.
01:14:32Well, there you have it.
01:14:35You guys ready for round two?
01:14:37Yeah!
01:14:38Alright.
01:14:39Cook any cuisine, but you must incorporate this special ingredient.
01:14:44What is it?
01:14:45Can everybody say cheese?
01:14:48Cheese!
01:14:50Oh!
01:15:15It appears Chef De Laurentiis has dropped his entree.
01:15:23He'll be judged solely on his appetizer alone.
01:15:27Is that a grilled cheese?
01:15:29What is this?
01:15:30A school lunch?
01:15:31What's the most important part about grilled cheese?
01:15:33It's not the cheese, but the bread.
01:15:35That perfect contrast between crispy exterior and gooey interior.
01:15:39The bread.
01:15:41It's almost laminated like a croissant, but grilled.
01:15:45I haven't seen bread this good since judging
01:15:48the 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 Chef Vanessa
01:16:04Laurent.
01:16:05Yes!
01:16:06Woo!
01:16:08And Chef Haley Rivers!
01:16:12Yes!
01:16:13Woo-hoo!
01:16:14Yeah!
01:16:17And how about a round of applause for Chef Mark De Laurentiis?
01:16:27Wait, Mark, why don't you join Mother's Table?
01:16:33Woo!
01:16:34Well, folks, it looks like we might have an alliance brewing
01:16:39over here.
01:16:40The Culinary Cup has never had two contestants join together.
01:16:44I was supposed to be his sous chef.
01:16:47Originally, we were supposed to work together.
01:16:50There are no rules against it, so it's up to Chef De Laurentiis.
01:16:55I don't know what to say, except you're going down, Vanessa.
01:17:11Well, folks, get ready for our final round right
01:17:14after these messages.
01:17:16So what's your better plan for tonight?
01:17:23Um, I was thinking maybe a quiche.
01:17:26A quiche?
01:17:28I don't know.
01:17:30I didn't actually think I'd get this far.
01:17:32Chefs, 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
01:17:44that defines your career.
01:17:45This is your final statement, the last dish
01:17:47you will want to leave on this earth.
01:17:49Let's get started.
01:17:50Three, two, one.
01:17:52Woo!
01:17:53I need this.
01:18:08OK, if we want to do this, we have to stop fighting, OK?
01:18:11OK.
01:18:12Think, what are our strengths?
01:18:14Well, you are the protein king, so.
01:18:17Please don't call me.
01:18:19What?
01:18:20You have the best meat I've ever tasted.
01:18:23OK, you can say that again.
01:18:26OK.
01:18:28Um, and you are clearly the pastry queen.
01:18:33So what's something that showcases both of our talents?
01:18:38What?
01:18:40You make the pastry.
01:18:43OK, and you make the canderling.
01:18:45Got it.
01:18:53Well, you've always been rough.
01:18:56Yeah.
01:18:57All right.
01:18:58Give me your meat.
01:18:59Well, it's time to make it a rice, huh?
01:19:00Mm-hmm.
01:19:01Mm-hmm.
01:19:02All right, give me your meat.
01:19:03Well, it's time to make it a rice, huh?
01:19:04Mm-hmm.
01:19:05Mm-hmm.
01:19:06Mm-hmm.
01:19:07Mm-hmm.
01:19:08Mm-hmm.
01:19:09Mm-hmm.
01:19:10Mm-hmm.
01:19:11It's time to make it a rice, huh?
01:19:13Mm-hmm.
01:19:14Mm-hmm.
01:19:15Mm-hmm.
01:19:16Mm-hmm.
01:19:17Mm-hmm.
01:19:18Mm-hmm.
01:19:19Mm-hmm.
01:19:20Mm-hmm.
01:19:21Mm-hmm.
01:19:22Now for my signature garnish.
01:19:25All right.
01:19:26Wow.
01:19:27It looks like Chef Laurent's finished with 10 minutes to spare.
01:19:31Chef Laurent's finished with 10 minutes to spare.
01:19:47What do you want?
01:19:49I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything.
01:19:54Will you forgive me for the damage that I've caused?
01:20:01Mark, no hurt feelings, right?
01:20:08No.
01:20:11Your signature shallots.
01:20:17What an explosive garnish.
01:20:31Hey.
01:20:32Hey.
01:20:33Hey.
01:20:34Are you OK?
01:20:35No.
01:20:36Did any oil hit you?
01:20:37No, I'm fine.
01:20:38I'm fine.
01:20:39I'm fine.
01:20:40I...
01:20:41It's Pete Wellington.
01:20:42It's...
01:20:43It's ruined.
01:20:44Are we going to lose now?
01:20:45Hey, look.
01:20:46My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.
01:20:50It's Pete Wellington.
01:20:51It's...
01:20:52It's ruined.
01:20:53Are we going to lose now?
01:20:55Hey, look.
01:20:56My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.
01:21:00But there's more to this world than just cups, stars, and...
01:21:07Donna science.
01:21:08Right?
01:21:09I have one more dish to go.
01:21:14It's impossible.
01:21:15No chef could win the culinary cup with only five minutes.
01:21:16And with not ingredients?
01:21:17If anyone could, it's Chef Rivers.
01:21:19The best student I've ever had.
01:21:21What are you doing?
01:21:22We have only five minutes.
01:21:23What are you doing?
01:21:24We have only five minutes.
01:21:25What are you doing?
01:21:26We have only five minutes.
01:21:27And with not ingredients?
01:21:28If anyone could, it's Chef Rivers.
01:21:29The best student I've ever had.
01:21:30What are you doing?
01:21:31We have only five minutes.
01:21:32What are you doing?
01:21:33We have only five minutes.
01:21:54What's this?
01:22:19She seems to have frozen in place.
01:22:21Is she choking?
01:22:24For you, Mark.
01:22:29I don't know.
01:22:31I don't know.
01:22:32I don't know.
01:22:34I don't know.
01:22:36I don't know.
01:22:38I don't know.
01:22:39I don't know.
01:22:41I don't know.
01:22:42I don't know.
01:22:43I don't know.
01:22:44I don't know.
01:22:45I don't know.
01:22:46I don't know.
01:22:47I don't know.
01:22:48I don't know.
01:22:54I don't know.
01:22:55I don't know.
01:22:56I don't know.
01:22:57I don't know.
01:22:59I don't know.
01:23:00I don't know.
01:23:06I don't know.
01:23:07I don't know.
01:23:08I call it cloud eggs because behind the cloudy white is a red sun ready to shine.
01:23:15Do you like it?
01:23:16You know, I'm going to be the greatest chef in the world.
01:23:28I don't know.
01:23:29I don't know.
01:23:30Maybe 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.
01:23:39Let's go.
01:23:41Mark, take my cookbook so we could cook together again.
01:24:02It's you.
01:24:04It's always been you.
01:24:07Chef Maya Miller was my mother.
01:24:10You kept my notebook.
01:24:13Almost yours.
01:24:15You're my first soul chef.
01:24:18One, four, three, two, one.
01:24:29And the winner of this year's Culinary Cup by default is Vanessa Leron.
01:24:35Yes!
01:24:36No!
01:24:37That's my girl.
01:24:38That's my girl.
01:24:39Eat it, Haley.
01:24:40Eat it.
01:24:41You loser.
01:24:42Yes!
01:24:43Well, I'm sorry I lied to you about who I am.
01:24:48And for being a spy.
01:24:51I'm sorry that I was such a dick.
01:24:56I'm an asshole.
01:24:58So apparently you can't be both.
01:25:02Haley, can you forgive me?
01:25:05Only if you forgive me first.
01:25:18Your 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!
01:25:29How'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 quote?
01:25:38Oh, do I?
01:25:39I am a billionaire, not a millionaire.
01:25:42Prove it.
01:25:43Okay.
01:25:44I can afford to serve another knuckle sandwich.
01:25:55I am a billionaire.
01:25:56I am a billionaire.
01:25:57I can afford to give a couple of girls.
01:25:58I am a billionaire.
01:25:59And I can afford to have a little bit of a knife.
01:26:00In your faith!
01:26:02And I can afford to give a couple of girls that have a lot of people.
01:26:04Congratulations.
01:26:05You are a shitty person.
