00:00:00Last but not least...
00:00:07Drizzled chocolate.
00:00:27Chef Tony!
00:00:30Big Boss, don't worry.
00:00:37I plan on writing your restaurant a glowing review in the papers.
00:00:40Top-notch! Sunday's cover has promised.
00:00:46We... have a problem.
00:00:52Not for you?
00:00:53That's Dash, from culinary school.
00:00:56No girl he couldn't charm except for sexless Nina.
00:01:00What do you think you're doing?
00:01:02That whore!
00:01:03She replaced me with Dash!
00:01:05Burn her reputation to the crowd!
00:01:10I got you this job, eh?
00:01:12Food critic?
00:01:13Consider this a debt paid.
00:01:17It'd be my honor, boss.
00:01:19Consider it already done.
00:01:20I never thought that fool would try to topple Chef Tony's marks of the city.
00:01:24Of course.
00:01:25If you're not up to the task, then my boys here will do what I pay them to do if you catch my drift.
00:01:36Got it, Chef.
00:01:39Salute.
00:01:43Enjoy the best meal of your life.
00:01:46You are so hot when you're in sabotage mode.
00:01:53How are you going to take her down?
00:01:55Beat them at their own game.
00:01:56Well, that's it for our first night.
00:02:07Time to clean up and go to our actual homes.
00:02:13Chef Nina, an anonymous food blogger posted about home and it's not good.
00:02:18And while the new restaurant seems to take itself seriously given the pricing,
00:02:23it's the clout of having a dash of temptation as their resident pastry chef that makes them cheap.
00:02:29God, see this is exactly what I was worried about.
00:02:32A review by a faceless person on the internet?
00:02:34Oh, come on.
00:02:36They barely have any followers.
00:02:37They'll go nowhere.
00:02:38Well, how are you so sure that others don't feel the same about...
00:02:42Me?
00:02:46And here I thought we were getting along so well.
00:02:48Well, what do I do to squash it?
00:02:51Why don't we invite this low-life person in for a dinner?
00:02:55Uh, we're booked up for the next six months.
00:02:57Hey, listen. I know how the internet works. Just give it a dare to you and you'll blow over.
00:03:12Soon, real reviews from real customers will overshadow this as they shout from the mountaintop how good home is.
00:03:22Mmm.
00:03:24God.
00:03:26I do want to believe you.
00:03:28Simply do so.
00:03:29Nina?
00:03:30Just head home. I'll close up the rest.
00:03:35God, I could really use your advice right now, Papa. God, I could really use your advice right now, Papa.
00:03:54Oh, my darling princess. What's wrong?
00:04:00I burned the meal.
00:04:02That's okay. You gotta understand. Greatness takes time.
00:04:06It's kind of like waiting for dough to rise.
00:04:09You keep experimenting, Nina. You're gonna be a great chef one day.
00:04:14See? Doesn't that make you feel better?
00:04:17Doesn't that make you feel better?
00:04:29Did you get home okay?
00:04:33This is home.
00:04:36Where I've only ever belonged.
00:04:42Thanks again for giving me a chance.
00:04:44Yeah, whatever.
00:04:47Am I being too hard on him?
00:04:49He did technically help book out my restaurant for six months.
00:04:54Figured you'd like to see all the reviews tonight from real customers.
00:04:59Such a great experience tonight in the comfort of me.
00:05:02Exquisite execution.
00:05:03I'll be back soon if I can get a reservation.
00:05:09A peace offering.
00:05:11A peace offering.
00:05:12A peace offering.
00:05:18Oh, my God.
00:05:24Oh, God, he's delicious.
00:05:32I mean the dessert.
00:05:35the dessert. Oh, I don't know. I'm in deep. Babe, where are you going so early? Time for a little
00:05:50manipulation tactic for a little special mission. You're a little devil, aren't you? I know how to
00:05:55warm her up just to leave her in the cold.
00:06:05Perfect timing. This is all the crap you stashed in my drawers and littered in my living room.
00:06:21Where's my stuff? Let's focus on apologies rather than your overreaction to a silly little
00:06:26mishap. You are such an asshole. Oh, wait, I know what's going on. You're in a mood because
00:06:31of that terrible review by some online food influencer. That must have really stung. Ouch.
00:06:36That little thing? We're going to get notable reviews from actual professionals. Just you
00:06:41wait. You'll never make it without me or my connections as a food critic. Yeah, and you'll
00:06:48never survive on Christy's overly sweet desserts. Time to up the insulin. Shit, what if he's
00:06:58right? Axel's the best food critic in town, and without him on my side, how am I going
00:07:05to get notable reviews?
00:07:10Oh, hi. Hey, boss. How's it hanging?
00:07:14Uh, great, great. Just cleaning up. Fun. Is it okay if I pick up a few things for tonight's
00:07:20desserts? All the items there are what your previous chef had ordered.
00:07:23Yeah, yeah, go for it. All right. See you tonight, then. Excited to see what you whip up.
00:07:33Oh, why did I say that? Gross.
00:07:36Oh, boy. Yeah, that's... That's what I need right now.
00:07:52Want some coffee? Sure. Cream, sugar? No sugar. Jeez, okay. Calm down.
00:08:00Tony's new menu shows the kind of sophistication that many of his rivals would sell their soul
00:08:06to copy.
00:08:12I need to hit harder!
00:08:19Welcome to your new home.
00:08:20Hi. Yes, I'd like to place a reservation for tonight.
00:08:23Hi. Yes, I'd like to place a reservation for tonight.
00:08:26I'm sorry, sir, but we are booked up six months today.
00:08:29What? Would you like...
00:08:30No!
00:08:33I still have to give your things back, don't I, Nina?
00:08:44I said no sugar!
00:08:47Oh.
00:08:56Got what you needed?
00:09:00Yes, chef. It's going to be delicious.
00:09:04Okay, everyone. Let's get ready for a busy night.
00:09:17Here's my classic dessert.
00:09:18Flamboyant, untalented, daddy's little rich boy.
00:09:32Time to drop off your stuff, Nina.
00:09:44I hope you can swim, Nina.
00:09:45I hope you can swim, Nina.
00:09:48Cuddle this, bitch.
00:09:59Sir, no running!
00:10:02Hey, watch it, babe.
00:10:05I need to get home and start baking.
00:10:08Yeah, hi.
00:10:09I'd like to report a citation.
00:10:10How's the Ooni pasta with caviar looking?
00:10:26Oh, my God, the entire dining room is flooded.
00:10:38I got called for a health code citation.
00:10:45Yeah.
00:10:48This restaurant is shut down.
00:10:50Expectant immediately.
00:10:52Are you the owner?
00:10:53Uh, I am.
00:10:54I have to give you a failing grade.
00:10:56No, a failing grade. Look, I have never...
00:10:58Hang on.
00:10:59Expectant?
00:10:59The O.
00:11:03The O.
00:11:04The O.
00:11:05I like that name.
00:11:07I like you.
00:11:09I mean, I watched your videos and all.
00:11:13Can you give us a few hours to figure out what happened before you gave our chef her first failing grade?
00:11:19It mean a lot to me.
00:11:20For you, anything.
00:11:24I'll get you some dessert.
00:11:25On the house, of course.
00:11:27As a thank you.
00:11:28Oh, I can't take bribes.
00:11:30It's not a bribe.
00:11:32A bribe would be me feeding you dessert myself.
00:11:36I could take bribes.
00:11:37I could take all the bribes.
00:11:39I'll be right back with a to-go bag.
00:11:41Thank you for understanding.
00:11:43Chef Tony, it's been handled.
00:11:51They'll be shut down.
00:11:53Well done, Axel.
00:11:55You're proving to be invaluable to me.
00:11:59What can I say?
00:11:59It's the least I can do.
00:12:01Hey, tell me.
00:12:02What is a food critic job paying these days?
00:12:06I get by.
00:12:08How'd you like to make a little extra?
00:12:10Come work for my restaurant's management team.
00:12:15But wouldn't that conflict with my current job?
00:12:18You worry too much.
00:12:20Let me handle that.
00:12:26What are you thinking?
00:12:28The flood didn't just happen on its own.
00:12:31The cameras might have caught the perpetrator.
00:12:34So you're thinking that someone did this on purpose?
00:12:37Where's the security feed?
00:12:40Oh, um.
00:12:44Who's this?
00:12:47God, that's my ex-fiance.
00:12:54This is my ex-fiance, Axel.
00:12:56He's the food critic for the paper
00:12:58and apparently our saboteur.
00:13:01That is so unethical.
00:13:04Yeah.
00:13:04Who called in the citation?
00:13:06All I know is that it was a man.
00:13:08Recognize this number?
00:13:10Oh, that's Axel's number.
00:13:13God, that lowlife scum.
00:13:15Okay, call me when you clean up this mess
00:13:16for a proper inspection.
00:13:18Until then,
00:13:20I'll give you a pending grave.
00:13:22Oh, thank you so much.
00:13:24And thank you for the sweet treat.
00:13:29There's more where that came from.
00:13:34What are you doing?
00:13:38Finishing what Axel started.
00:13:39Hello?
00:13:43Yes?
00:13:44Some news?
00:13:45I'd like to discuss a matter
00:13:46concerning your food critic,
00:13:47Axel Vitti.
00:13:49I'd like to discuss a matter
00:13:51concerning your food critic,
00:13:52Axel Vitti.
00:13:53It's settled.
00:14:00The paper fired Axel.
00:14:02He's gone.
00:14:03We're safe.
00:14:06Don't underestimate Axel.
00:14:08This might have started something worse.
00:14:12I got you.
00:14:13I promise.
00:14:13Too bad home will have to go into foreclosure
00:14:19after its humiliating health inspection.
00:14:29Hello, editor?
00:14:30Yes, I just got the juiciest.
00:14:34What?
00:14:35No, what?
00:14:36You can't fire me.
00:14:37What?
00:14:38No!
00:14:40God!
00:14:41God!
00:14:43I'll kill them!
00:14:45I'll kill them!
00:14:46I'll kill...
00:14:47Oh, fuck.
00:14:49Chef Tony's gonna kill me.
00:14:55Can I make you something
00:14:57that always cheers me up?
00:15:00I don't need your chocolate and charm.
00:15:03This is off the venue.
00:15:09Sure.
00:15:10I mean, I have to be here anyway
00:15:12until the cleaning crew shows up.
00:15:14Mind if I record?
00:15:16I'll do D&L.
00:15:18Yeah, how about it, partner?
00:15:27Chef Tony.
00:15:33Join me.
00:15:33There's something you should know about.
00:15:45Tell me my restaurant's gonna be on the front page this Sunday.
00:15:51About that.
00:15:52I may have gotten fired from the paper tonight
00:15:54because I was trying to shut down home.
00:15:55Are you fucking with me?
00:16:01No, Chef.
00:16:02But I wanted to see if, you know,
00:16:04the offer still stood to become a part of your,
00:16:06you know, team's restaurant management.
00:16:13It's just, you know, the money,
00:16:14the money would really help me right now.
00:16:15And I could have really used that prestigious review
00:16:18and for home to be squashed
00:16:20like you promised.
00:16:25I'll make it up to you, Chef.
00:16:27I'll make it up to you.
00:16:30Portatelo via.
00:16:31If you want a job,
00:16:34then my boys here will put you to work.
00:16:38Ciao.
00:16:44Why did you name the restaurant home?
00:16:46Because I grew up in my father's pizzeria.
00:16:50That's where I learned to cook in his kitchen.
00:16:52So for me,
00:16:54that restaurant was home.
00:16:56I'm envious of you.
00:16:57He says the guy who comes from culinary royalty.
00:17:02Well, unlike you,
00:17:04I wasn't allowed in my father's kitchen.
00:17:07What?
00:17:07Why?
00:17:09My father never thought I had potential.
00:17:14But
00:17:14he also never gave me a chance to prove him wrong.
00:17:21I haven't made this dessert for anyone else before.
00:17:24It's my, uh...
00:17:28Well,
00:17:29never mind.
00:17:31Bon appétit.
00:17:33Wait.
00:17:35Wait.
00:17:36Join me.
00:17:42You've had a hard night.
00:17:43It's all yours.
00:17:45So,
00:17:46what's the story behind it?
00:17:47It's the dessert
00:17:49my mother used to make me when I cried.
00:17:52She said it was like a hug on a plate.
00:17:56Well, does she still make it for you?
00:17:58No.
00:17:59Um,
00:18:00she died before my 13th birthday.
00:18:03And
00:18:04afterwards,
00:18:05my father
00:18:07resented having to babysit me
00:18:09while at the restaurant.
00:18:09I'm sorry.
00:18:13It's okay.
00:18:15Because of that,
00:18:16I've learned
00:18:16other skills.
00:18:19Skills that earn me a fan base.
00:18:21Your videos are really good.
00:18:24So you do subscribe to my profile?
00:18:26No.
00:18:27I mean, I...
00:18:28You ghost watch?
00:18:34Guilty.
00:18:35God, I'm so embarrassed.
00:18:37I...
00:18:38Give me your phone.
00:18:41Oh, my God.
00:18:47Now,
00:18:48we both
00:18:49follow each other.
00:18:55Come taste it for yourself.
00:19:00Let me make you feel better.
00:19:02So hold to me close
00:19:04now, baby.
00:19:07I do what I'm told
00:19:09still learning.
00:19:16Oh, my...
00:19:17Is it all right?
00:19:18It's been such a long time
00:19:19since I made it.
00:19:20That
00:19:20is the best dessert
00:19:22I've ever had in my life.
00:19:24Yeah,
00:19:25I'm sweating here.
00:19:26I need this on my menu.
00:19:28Sure.
00:19:29Yeah.
00:19:30Go for it.
00:19:30Well,
00:19:31what should it be called?
00:19:31Childhood.
00:19:37Childhood.
00:19:39That's
00:19:39everything home is about.
00:19:43What?
00:19:44Having doubts?
00:19:45No.
00:19:47It's just, uh,
00:19:48I've never felt
00:19:49so seen before.
00:19:50Nina Bertelli?
00:20:01Yeah, that's me.
00:20:02Can you show us
00:20:03where the water's coming from?
00:20:05Absolutely.
00:20:06Follow me.
00:20:07I will be right back.
00:20:08I got some videos to edit,
00:20:09so
00:20:10I'll be gone in a bit.

00:21:50making people fall for you.
00:21:51I want.
00:21:52Making people fall for you.
00:21:59Maybe we should start prepping
00:22:00now that we can reopen.
00:22:03Prepping?
00:22:04Yeah,
00:22:04yeah,
00:22:05that's,
00:22:05that's great.
00:22:06This is boring.
00:22:15Is anyone hungry?
00:22:17I made strawberry cream-filled white chocolate donuts.
00:22:20What are you trying to give us a heart attack, woman?
00:22:22At some point,
00:22:23you're going to have to eat what I make for you.
00:22:25Yeah.
00:22:26Over my dead body.
00:22:28Okay,
00:22:28you two shut the fuck up before I kill you both.
00:22:30Just knock it off.
00:22:33Wait,

00:22:39All right,
00:22:39grab your tool.
00:22:41Let's go.
00:22:42Leave your bitch in the car.
00:22:48Ungrateful assholes.
00:22:49Hey buddy,
00:22:53what's up with the A?
00:22:55Oh,
00:22:56they just passed their inspection.
00:22:57I mean,
00:22:57feel free to make a reservation.
00:22:58Yeah,
00:22:59our boss isn't going to like that.
00:23:00What do you think we should do?
00:23:02Whoa,
00:23:03whoa,
00:23:03I'm just doing my job.
00:23:04Yeah,
00:23:05so are we.
00:23:06Maybe we can discuss this.
00:23:08Yeah,
00:23:08you can discuss it with Chef Tony later.
00:23:10Is the girl still in there?
00:23:11What?
00:23:11Yeah,
00:23:12no,
00:23:12I mean,
00:23:13maybe we can help you remember.
00:23:15No,
00:23:15no,
00:23:15no,
00:23:16no,
00:23:16no,
00:23:16no,
00:23:16no,
00:23:16no,
00:23:16no,
00:23:16no,
00:23:17no,
00:23:17no,
00:23:17no,
00:23:17no,
00:23:17no,
00:23:19how about now?
00:23:26That's it.
00:23:27I will not have my food denied and possibly go to jail because of your antics.
00:23:30It's over between us.
00:23:32You're dead weight anyways,
00:23:33woman.
00:23:34I have to go to the market to get a few things.
00:23:48Do you need anything?
00:23:49I'm all set.
00:23:50Thanks,
00:24:06Hey, Nina.
00:24:06Yeah?
00:24:08I, um,
00:24:10I'll see you when you get back.
00:24:13Yeah.
00:24:15Bye.
00:24:20Smooth,
00:24:20dude.
00:24:21Real smooth.
00:24:22son.
00:24:34I'm in your city for business and I want to meet up.
00:24:40Have a plane.
00:24:41Have a plane.
00:24:41Meet me at the market.
00:24:421 p.m.
00:24:43I have my station to prep.
00:24:44I doubt your little dessert job would cover your bills if that's all you had to live on.
00:24:49The market.
00:24:501 p.m.
00:24:521 p.m.
00:24:57Morning,
00:24:57sweetie.
00:25:01Oh my God.
00:25:02He's hurt badly.
00:25:05Hey,
00:25:05how did this happen?
00:25:10How about you come with us,
00:25:12sweetie?
00:25:12Or the health inspector?
00:25:14We'll have to crawl back to the house.
00:25:16What do you think?
00:25:22Let's take a walk.
00:25:25My assistant showed me the video.
00:25:27Your mother's dessert?
00:25:29You dare to replicate it.
00:25:31I didn't replicate it.
00:25:32I honored it.
00:25:33Remembered it.
00:25:34You wouldn't know the difference.
00:25:36You turned it into content.
00:25:38Smeared her memory all over the internet.
00:25:40Then had the audacity to put it on the menu.
00:25:43No.
00:25:43Chef Nina put it on the menu.
00:25:45And she's a fool.
00:25:47You're not talented enough to recreate it.
00:25:49You've never tried anything I've made.
00:25:51How would you know?
00:25:53I'm not foolish enough to let you ruin my taste buds.
00:25:57This conversation is done.
00:25:59Take it off the menu.
00:26:01Or I cut off your funding.
00:26:15Fuck you, Axel.
00:26:16If only you had.
00:26:18You tried ruining my restaurant.
00:26:19Don't worry.
00:26:20I'll succeed somehow.
00:26:23Who are these goons?
00:26:25My cleanup crew.
00:26:28Mosa.
00:26:30You've met Chef Tony, right?
00:26:33You've met Chef Tony, right?
00:26:35So this little thing's been making all that noise, huh?
00:26:42Your restaurant has been taking attention away from mine.
00:26:47Why would someone critically acclaimed as you be worried about my little restaurant?
00:26:51Oh, oh, oh, little.
00:26:53Little, listen to the joker here.
00:26:56All right.
00:26:56That's funny.
00:26:57Does that look like little?
00:26:58Tell me about that.
00:27:01What do you want?
00:27:02I want you to shut down your restaurant.
00:27:05And before you go on about your business and such, I want you to understand something.
00:27:11I'm a stand-up guy.
00:27:13All right?
00:27:14I will pay you handsomely to shut your business down and just go back to making pizzas.
00:27:22Doesn't that sound nice?
00:27:23And what if I don't?
00:27:25Well, then Axel here will cut off your hand.
00:27:28It's pretty hard to cook with only one hand, don't you think?
00:27:31Fuck you!
00:27:32That's not nice.
00:27:33Fuck you!
00:27:34No!
00:27:35No!
00:27:35Help!
00:27:36That's Nina.
00:27:39Help!
00:27:40Help!
00:27:40Help!
00:27:43Help!
00:27:53Tony!
00:27:55How you doing, old friend?
00:27:58Oh, no!
00:27:59It's all right.
00:28:00I don't meddle on these kind of business deals.
00:28:02Help her out, son.
00:28:04Lotto, I haven't tried your restaurants yet, but I hear great things.
00:28:09Don't worry.
00:28:10I don't take your absence personally.
00:28:12It's quite refreshing, actually.
00:28:14It's been, what, 30 years since culinary school?
00:28:18Time flies when you're as successful as me.
00:28:21I see you're still fighting your way through the competition.
00:28:25I don't regret it.
00:28:27I don't expect you to.
00:28:28But to try to do the same to a woman, that's a new low even for you.
00:28:33Hey, hey, Nina.
00:28:35Nina, wake up.
00:28:37Wake up, come on.
00:28:37Am I in heaven?
00:28:51Kind of.
00:28:53We're at the food market.
00:28:53Oh, God.
00:28:57Where's Tony?
00:28:59My father threatened to reveal Tony's illegal workings if he ever tried to hurt you again.
00:29:04Oh.
00:29:05I wish your father.
00:29:06I need to thank him.
00:29:08He left for a fish auction.
00:29:10Do you think you can walk?
00:29:11Oh, my God.
00:29:17I'm so sorry.
00:29:21Hello?
00:29:22This is he.
00:29:24Oh, uh, thanks for letting me know.
00:29:27There's no cause for concern.
00:29:29What was that?
00:29:30Nothing.
00:29:33Come on.
00:29:34We've got to finish your shopping.
00:29:36The restaurant's about to open.
00:29:38Do you think Axel's going to come back for us?
00:29:42He's a little tied up at the moment.
00:29:45Hey, guys.
00:30:09Thanks again for saving me.
00:30:20It's the least I could do.
00:30:22Does it hurt?
00:30:24Not as much as it would hurt for you to lose your hand.
00:30:28My career would be over.
00:30:31I hate to ask, but I was wondering when I could expect my first check.
00:30:36Next Friday, do you need any dance?
00:30:41I was just curious.
00:30:44Mind if I do a short video before we open?
00:30:48I'll give you a pass for today's roll of actions.
00:30:55Hey, guys.
00:30:55How you doing?
00:30:56Today, I'll show you how to decorate the post.
00:31:00Starting off.
00:31:01All right.
00:31:02Let's make a cake, guys.
00:31:04Doors are open.
00:31:06And then we fall off with those golden leaves.
00:31:12My favorite part.
00:31:14Hey, we're open now, so let's focus, okay?
00:31:17You got it, chef.
00:31:18For today.
00:31:32I'm fine.
00:31:34I can't wait.
00:31:34No, hey.
00:31:35I'm happy to help those who help me.
00:31:37We're a team.
00:31:40I got you.
00:31:44First order.
00:31:45Please, chef Tony.
00:31:50Please, I beg you.
00:31:51I beg you.
00:31:52Why shouldn't I punish you after today's fiasco?
00:31:55I promise you.
00:31:56I promise you.
00:31:56I could destroy her restaurant for good.
00:31:58If you just give me a second chance, please.
00:31:59I don't believe you.
00:32:00And I don't believe in second chances.
00:32:03No, no, no.
00:32:03Not for me.
00:32:04Not for me.
00:32:04For her restaurant.
00:32:05I can drain her from the inside out.
00:32:18Chef Nina, I'm so sorry, but I have a family emergency, and I have to leave, like, forever.
00:32:24Oh my goodness, yeah, go, but, uh, I'm really sorry to hear that.
00:32:31Do you have your tables covered?
00:32:33I do, thanks.
00:32:36What was the...
00:32:38Chef Nina, who's covering the front?
00:32:41What do you mean the hostess is?
00:32:43She's not there anymore.
00:32:45Wait, oh, what?
00:32:48She just bounced.
00:32:50Something about another restaurant that's offering her double the pay.
00:32:57Uh, actually, I'm having a family emergency.
00:32:59I really need to go.
00:33:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:02Please, please don't go.
00:33:03Yeah, whatever it is, we can work it out.
00:33:05Look, I have kids to pay for.
00:33:07I'm so sorry.
00:33:11Chef Nina!
00:33:15Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:16Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:18All the meals are ruined. We're going to be backed up for hours.
00:33:29I'm going to need all hands.
00:33:32Front of house is left, so once a meal is cooked, you have to serve it.
00:33:37That is above my pay grade.
00:33:42Be high.
00:33:48What?
00:33:52I think something's up.
00:33:53Yeah, someone is offering my employees a better paying gig.
00:33:58Did you get a text?
00:33:59Even if I did, I'd ignore it.
00:34:05Excuse me. I have a meal to serve.
00:34:13Oh, shit. Now I have to talk to customers.
00:34:18Oh, God.
00:34:28Enjoy.
00:34:29This is the worst service ever.
00:34:32Tell the chef I'm unimpressed.
00:34:35I am the chef.
00:34:37You never came to check on any of the tables. Isn't that what chefs are supposed to do? Parade around in schmooze?
00:34:44Wait, I'm so sorry. You haven't finished your meal.
00:34:49It took an hour to get this horse. I lost my appetite.
00:34:54Oh, God.
00:34:55Oh, God.
00:35:05What are you doing?
00:35:06Making sure the customers don't see you crying.
00:35:11God, this is terrible. I mean, my restaurant's done. It's finished. It's over.
00:35:17One trim salad and toasted bread.
00:35:28Oh, my God. What are you doing?
00:35:30We are prepping the next meal.
00:35:33Come on.
00:35:35We got this.
00:35:36Just tell me what to do, chef.
00:35:47Uh, I like the tomatoes cut in half.
00:35:51No more.
00:36:08Now, let's go serve the customers.
00:36:14After you, chef.
00:36:21Oh, no, the landlord.
00:36:32Bon appetit.
00:36:35Um, welcome. I wasn't expecting you.
00:36:39Just got the bill for the recent cleanup.
00:36:42You'll be adding that to your rent.
00:36:44You'll be able to afford it, right?
00:36:48Do I need to look for a new tenant?
00:36:51Oh, no.
00:36:54What an asshole.
00:36:59No one has gotten to dessert.
00:37:04Excuse me.
00:37:07This restaurant will definitely not be part of the Best in City competition.
00:37:22I understand if you take the offer.
00:37:24It's not that.
00:37:26Sit.
00:37:28All is gonna work out.
00:37:30We need a miracle to happen.
00:37:32Maybe one's coming.
00:37:34This is chef Nina.
00:37:46What?
00:37:48You submitted us to the competition?
00:37:51Did they mention the cash prize?
00:37:52No.
00:37:53They'll pay for the rent and the bill.
00:37:54Well, I mean, we have to do everything.
00:37:55We have to cook.

00:47:53We get to sit and enjoy this all for ourselves?
00:47:57It's dessert time.
00:47:59Mm. Of course.
00:48:01Don't worry. I got it.
00:48:09What do you think you're doing?
00:48:26I just wanted to help you with some behind the scenes.
00:48:32You ready?
00:48:36Action.
00:48:39Anyone can build a house, but it takes love to make it a home.
00:48:46And, uh, that's my secret ingredient for the dessert I'm going to prepare for the competition.
00:48:52A dessert my mother used to make me when I was feeling sad, and she knew I needed love to get me through some hard times.
00:49:01Let me get some of that.
00:49:11Sorry.
00:49:13No, it's fine. I can clean it myself.
00:49:16Or, uh...
00:49:17I can.
00:49:24Some more of that?
00:49:45I, uh, you, you, you, you could, uh...
00:49:51Yes.
00:49:52Sure.
00:50:01I'll be right back.
00:50:02Uh, so the cameras are still up.
00:50:22Don't worry.
00:50:23I can't turn them away so they don't face us.
00:50:28So what if they do it?
00:50:32Yes.
00:50:34Chef.
00:50:34Tell me how much you want it.
00:50:54All of it.
00:50:57Yes.
00:50:57Yes.
00:50:57Yes.
00:50:59Yes.
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:00Yes.
00:51:00Yes.
00:51:01Yes.
00:51:02Yes.
00:51:03How do you like it?
00:51:22Well done.
00:51:33How do you think we'd score?
00:51:45Ten out of ten, for sure.
00:51:54Let's win this thing.
00:51:55Seconds.
00:51:55Can we have actual dessert before we leave?
00:52:08I'll be right back.
00:52:09How'd you sleep?
00:52:24Uh, until I woke up and realized today could change everything.
00:52:36It's my one shot.
00:52:38I got you.
00:52:38I got you.
00:52:42So, we can't do the grilled octopus and beetroot salad.
00:52:55Oh, we do have shrimp, too.
00:52:57Shrimp would be good.
00:52:58So how about we start off with the shrimp?
00:53:00And then salmon after.
00:53:02Yes, we'll replace the octopus.
00:53:04Great.
00:53:05Great.
00:53:29Welcome home.
00:53:30Oh.
00:53:32Greeting us yourselves?
00:53:33Yeah.
00:53:34You really can't keep a staff, can you?
00:53:35Hmm.
00:53:36Well, we let them have the night off.
00:53:40It's just us.
00:53:41Mi casa.
00:53:42Su casa.
00:53:43We've had a long day at the other restaurants, and I have a plane to catch after this.
00:53:47So, uh, can we get on with it?
00:53:49Oh.
00:53:50This way?
00:53:51Oh.
00:53:53You're welcome.
00:53:54Let's go.
00:53:55Oh.

00:53:56But I'm happy to see you.
