00:00:00Welcome to the annual Culinary Cup.

00:00:04Over 100 chefs battled and America voted

00:00:08to bring the six most talented to the stage today.

00:00:12Marc DeLaurentis, Vanessa Laurent,

00:00:16and Hayley Riggs.

00:00:20My dream has always been to bring the Culinary Cup.

00:00:24My dream has always been to bring the Culinary Cup.

00:00:28My dream has always been to bring the Culinary Cup and crush Marc DeLaurentis.

00:00:32But now that I'm so close,

00:00:36why does victory taste so bitter?

00:00:40From now on, the only words out of your mouth

00:00:44are going to be yes chef.

00:00:46Yes chef.

00:00:54Give it up for our valedictorian Hayley Rivers!

00:00:56Yeah! Hayley!

00:00:58I'm Diego, manager of Desire.

00:01:00Would you like to work under our head chef, Marc DeLaurentis?

00:01:04Mark DeLaurentis?

00:01:18Father! I'm in!

00:01:20Revenge is best served cold.

00:01:24And soon we will feast.

00:01:32Salt, pepper, butter.

00:01:34Simple.

00:01:36And yet...

00:01:38deceptively complex.

00:01:40And that's how you cook a proper steak, okay?

00:01:46What is that?

00:01:52Is that good?

00:01:53Smell it.

00:01:54It's not good.

00:01:56It's a fucking piece of trash!

00:01:58Take care of nothing.

00:02:00You're fired.

00:02:02Am I stuttering?

00:02:08So who wants a cup?

00:02:10I...

00:02:12I...

00:02:18Oh my...

00:02:19I'm...

00:02:20I'm so...

00:02:21so sorry.

00:02:22I slipped.

00:02:23I...

00:02:24Who let you in?

00:02:25Mark.

00:02:26This is Hayley.

00:02:27She just graduated from your alma mater.

00:02:30Top of her class.

00:02:31With a focus on pastries.

00:02:33You should know not to be late.

00:02:39I'm...

00:02:40I'm sorry.

00:02:41It was just two minutes.

00:02:42Two minutes?!

00:02:43That is the difference between a rare and a well done steak.

00:02:49I want you to cook me a steak.

00:02:55Have we met before?

00:02:57No way.

00:02:58Does he remember me?

00:03:03You have three chances to cook me a steak.

00:03:08To satisfy me.

00:03:10Or...

00:03:11You'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.

00:03:32It's not a fucking croissant.

00:03:39This is drier than the fucking Sahara.

00:03:41More butter.

00:03:44I know.

00:03:46My secret ingredient.

00:04:01It tastes...

00:04:16Familiar.

00:04:18Did you lose Blurvie?

00:04:20Yes.

00:04:22How did you know?

00:04:24Who taught you how to cook?

00:04:25Who taught you how to cook?

00:04:27My mother.

00:04:31He took another bite.

00:04:32He never takes a second bite of the same dish.

00:04:35Your mother...

00:04:37Was a proper chef.

00:04:40Unlike you.

00:04:41Your...

00:04:43That the grease and the grime remind you to...

00:04:46Never...

00:04:47Never...

00:04:48Be laid...

00:04:49In my kitchen...

00:04:50Again.

00:04:52Thank you, chef.

00:04:53Not thank you, chef.

00:04:54Yes, chef.

00:04:55Yes, chef.

00:04:56Okay, guys.

00:04:57So the culinary cup is in two weeks.

00:04:59And I'm going to win.

00:05:01Yes, chef.

00:05:02Yes, chef!

00:05:03Yes, chef!

00:05:04Hey, um...

00:05:05Are you okay?

00:05:06Yeah, all good.

00:05:07I was just...

00:05:08Cutting onions.

00:05:09It's okay.

00:05:10You can trust me.

00:05:11I guess that's why they say you should never meet your heroes.

00:05:12Right?

00:05:13I know that it sounds ridiculous, but...

00:05:14Despite all of this, I still have the biggest crush on him.

00:05:15Mark De Laurentiis may have a great ass, but he is an overrated asshole.

00:05:19In my office...

00:05:21Now.

00:05:23Stand!

00:05:25Chef, I'm very sorry about everything I said.

00:05:28Which one?

00:05:29Oh, my God.

00:05:30That's a good idea.

00:05:31You're wrong.

00:05:32I say you should never meet your heroes.

00:05:33Right?

00:05:34I know that it sounds ridiculous, but...

00:05:35Despite all of this...

00:05:37I still have the biggest crush on him.

00:05:39Mark De Laurentiis may have a great ass, but he is an overrated asshole.

00:05:43In my office.

00:05:46Now.

00:05:47Stand!

00:05:48Which part?

00:05:50That I'm an overrated asshole.

00:05:56Or that I have a great ass.

00:06:00That part I meant.

00:06:10Am I fired?

00:06:13Why do you look familiar?

00:06:18Want to go?

00:06:21I'm an overrated man.

00:06:22Let's go.

00:06:23The taste of you.

00:06:25Got me coming back for more.

00:06:27One taste ain't enough.

00:06:28No.

00:06:29I'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.

00:06:38I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:06:40The taste of you.

00:06:42Guess who found a new buyer for his app.

00:06:46We're going to be filthy rich.

00:06:48What? That's amazing.

00:06:49I know.

00:06:51Attaboy!

00:06:53Hey, I am so proud of you, son.

00:06:57If you only had half of Adrian's ambition,

00:07:00or brains, have a seat.

00:07:02That's horrible.

00:07:04Ooh, nice.

00:07:05Bon appetit.

00:07:07So, how's Desire?

00:07:10When did you meet Marquette?

00:07:11I did.

00:07:12He was...interesting.

00:07:16Interesting? What do you mean?

00:07:18Like, attractive?

00:07:23Hayley, what about the recipe?

00:07:26Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.

00:07:29I want to work with you at the Golden Table

00:07:32and continue Mom's legacy.

00:07:34And you will.

00:07:36After you get revenge for your mother.

00:07:39Now, the Golden Table used to be the number one restaurant

00:07:42in Los Angeles until Ingrid De Laurentiis stole your mom's recipes

00:07:47and beat her in the Culinary Cup.

00:07:50I 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.

00:08:06It must be in there.

00:08:08Hmm.

00:08:13A red notebook?

00:08:14I've...I've seen it.

00:08:16Okay, listen up, chefs.

00:08:28Tonight, we are serving my newest Croatian.

00:08:32First, we need to try it.

00:08:36What did I tell you about being late?

00:08:38Are you not impressed?

00:08:53It's okay.

00:08:59The recipes are on your stations.

00:09:02Let's get cooking, come on!

00:09:04Yes, chef!

00:09:08This 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?

00:09:39Follow me.

00:09:43No!

00:09:46I gotta try this out.

00:09:50It's pretty good.

00:09:52It's pretty good.

00:09:54Oh, that's so good.

00:10:00Right 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.

00:10:19I want you.

00:10:27I want you.

00:10:36I want you to teach me recipes.

00:10:38Get up!

00:10:39Now!

00:10:40The kitchen is yours.

00:10:41Okay.

00:10:42So the problem is in the sauce.

00:10:43Sauce?

00:10:44My last name is D.

00:10:45Lauprentis.

00:10:46My ancestors, they basically invented the sauce.

00:10:47What's wrong with the sauce?

00:10:48Okay.

00:10:49Okay.

00:10:50So the problem is in the sauce.

00:10:51Sauce?

00:10:53My last name is D.

00:10:55Lauprentis.

00:10:57My ancestors, they basically invented the sauce.

00:11:00What's wrong with the sauce?

00:11:01Okay, Godfather.

00:11:03I didn't mean to offend you.

00:11:05Can I show you something?

00:11:07Yeah, go ahead.

00:11:08Okay.

00:11:09So, instead of parsley, I use a dash of throwby.

00:11:14Throwby.

00:11:15Yeah.

00:11:16The 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.

00:11:29A lot like me.

00:11:30What?

00:11:31Do you want to try?

00:11:33Yeah.

00:11:35May I?

00:11:52Okay.

00:11:54I think the tomato sauce is burnt off.

00:11:57Okay.

00:11:58Hey.

00:11:59Calm down.

00:12:00That's easy to say if you don't have a Michelin-style restaurant

00:12:02with 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.

00:12:20Why 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?

00:12:41I thought that's mine.

00:12:46I have the exact same one.

00:12:50Okay.

00:12:52I believe you.

00:12:54You're definitely not like that Dominique.

00:12:56Uh, Dominique?

00:12:58Mark's ex sous chef slash ex-fiance.

00:13:01Ex-fiance?

00:13:03What happened?

00:13:04About 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.

00:13:19And 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?

00:13:30So first I'm an asshole and now 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...

00:14:03tasting for you.

00:14:11What are you smiling about?

00:14:20Adrian!

00:14:22What are you doing here?

00:14:24I wanted to surprise you.

00:14:25Where have you been?

00:14:26Oh, um...

00:14:29Chef 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.

00:14:42I 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 quit desire.

00:14:51Quit 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?

00:14:59Um, I'm busy, Mark.

00:15:02Mark? What did you just call me?

00:15:05Oh, God. I'm sorry. I'm so tired.

00:15:09I demand you quit desire.

00:15:12Quit desire? Not now.

00:15:15I'm not asking.

00:15:17But I'm so close. Tonight, 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. Just cooking.

00:15:26You know what? That's it. I've had enough of this.

00:15:28I've tolerated your stupid little chef dream for long enough.

00:15:32This is too far. I forbid you from working for Mark DeLaRentis.

00:15:37You forbid me.

00:15:43Baby, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

00:15:46I hate the idea of him even laying a finger on you.

00:15:50I mean, you hate him, right?

00:15:58Right?

00:16:01Of course. Of course.

00:16:03I hate Mark DeLaRentis.

00:16:05I'm only running for one thing.

00:16:08Avenge.

00:16:08Oh, you're early.

00:16:26Come on, you inspired me last night, so I thought you would be the first one to try my new dish.

00:16:31What do you think?

00:16:43Be honest.

00:16:45It's good.

00:16:46Your meat, the truffle, it's flawless.

00:16:50It's really good.

00:16:51Good.

00:16:53Do you think God will win the culinary cap?

00:16:55Tell 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, relax, relax.

00:17:22Jeez.

00:17:23Gentle.

00:17:23You have to love the dough.

00:17:26Okay, so knead.

00:17:29Knead.

00:17:30Stretch.

00:17:32Stretch.

00:17:33Fold.

00:17:34Fold.

00:17:41Knead.

00:17:43There you go.

00:18:02Gentle.

00:18:03Gentle.

00:18:03It feels good.

00:18:06There, just like that.

00:18:09It's not good.

00:18:10You're right.

00:18:11Oh.

00:18:13There, good.

00:18:21Not too fast.

00:18:24Do you feel it?

00:18:25Yeah.

00:18:29Okay, now.

00:18:30Faster.

00:18:34It starts to smooth out.

00:18:36It's ready, okay?

00:18:38Now?

00:18:38Almost.

00:18:39Almost.

00:18:42Now.

00:18:43Now.

00:18:50Oh.

00:18:51Oh.

00:18:52Oh.

00:18:53Oh.

00:18:54Oh.

00:18:55Oh.

00:18:56Oh.

00:18:57Oh.

00:18:58Oh.

00:18:59Oh.

00:19:00Oh.

00:19:01Oh.

00:19:02Oh.

00:19:03Oh.

00:19:04Oh.

00:19:05Oh.

00:19:06Oh.

00:19:07Oh.

00:19:08Wow, that's amazing.

00:19:21Wow.

00:19:38What'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,

00:19:55but he just wanted me to taste his new dish.

00:19:58And did you taste it standing up or on your knees?

00:20:08I'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,

00:20:16be sure to clean up your messes,

00:20:18like that hickey on your neck.

00:20:20No, it's for my boyfriend.

00:20:23Boyfriend?

00:20:24What's his name?

00:20:25Adrian Blackwell.

00:20:27Adrian Blackwell.

00:20:30I should be heading out.

00:20:39Hayley.

00:20:40Why are you still here?

00:20:41Chef, we need to talk.

00:20:47What's wrong?

00:20:49What happened was a mistake.

00:20:55I mean, I don't want to, like, offend you.

00:20:58Obviously, I was into it.

00:21:01But...

00:21:03My dish?

00:21:06Marcus.

00:21:09Both.

00:21:12But...

00:21:13You're my boss.

00:21:14And I think it is best if we keep things...

00:21:18professional.

00:21:20Yes.

00:21:21I respect your decision.

00:21:23But as your boss,

00:21:26I would ask you to join me on this work trip.

00:21:32Why don't you take Vanessa?

00:21:35Please say yes.

00:21:36Say yes, Chef.

00:21:38Vanessa.

00:21:39These dishes won't wash themselves.

00:21:42Vanessa?

00:21:44Do you know what I admire about you?

00:21:47That I'm a better cook than you?

00:21:51No, that you have ambition.

00:21:53And you have fun doing it.

00:21:54So what do you say?

00:21:57Do you want to join me on this work trip?

00:22:01Because I bet I will get inspired for my new recipes.

00:22:05Oh, like for the culinary culinary?

00:22:07Here I come.

00:22:09Yeah.

00:22:10Hmm.

00:22:11I'm a better cook.

00:22:13I'm a better cook.

00:22:14I don't know.

00:22:15I feel like I'm a better cook.

00:22:17I'm a better cook.

00:22:19I'm a better cook.

00:22:21I'm a better cook.

00:22:23Then we'll take a smoothie.

00:22:24Yes.

00:22:26Thank you so much.

00:22:27Yes.

00:22:31Thank you so much.

00:22:32That's just so much.

00:22:34Amazing.

00:22:43Something wrong?

00:22:46I'm just so used to seeing you in an apron.

00:22:49You look divine.

00:22:54Oh, by the way, coffee.

00:22:56Okay.

00:22:58Taste of you.

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.

00:23:26Are we almost there?

00:23:27About an hour or two ago still.

00:23:29This is a beautiful view.

00:23:30Yeah.

00:23:31Isn't it beautiful?

00:23:32Was he referring to me or the view?

00:23:33Howdy, Mark.

00:23:34Hey, how are you doing?

00:23:35Howdy, Mark.

00:23:36How are you doing?

00:23:37Look at this.

00:23:38Are 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?

00:23:58Was he referring to me or the view?

00:24:01Howdy, Mark.

00:24:02Hey, how you doing?

00:24:03Look at this.

00:24:05Another girlfriend, I see.

00:24:08No, 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?

00:24:18So, how many girlfriend chefs have you brought here?

00:24:27So, how many of your girlfriend chefs have you brought here?

00:24:31I have no idea what he's talking about.

00:24:34You are clearly the first one I brought here.

00:24:38What the fuck?

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.

00:24:53You bought it?

00:24:54The farm.

00:24:55That means we have access to the herb garden too.

00:25:05So, maybe we can plant some fruit.

00:25:10Come on, let me show you some.

00:25:12We have spaghetti squash, Jerusalem artichokes, and our beautiful lemons.

00:25:21Feel free to take one.

00:25:25Come on, let's try one.

00:25:26Come on, let's try one.

00:25:27Come on, let's try one.

00:25:28Come on, let's try one.

00:25:29Come on, let's try one.

00:25:30Come on.

00:25:31Come on, let's try one.

00:25:32Come on.

00:25:33Oh, I'm here too.

00:25:34Can I get it?

00:25:35No, right, right here.

00:25:36May I?

00:25:37Mm-hmm.

00:25:38Did I get it?

00:25:39No, right here.

00:25:40May I?

00:25:41Mm-hmm.

00:25:48Hello.

00:25:49I want to show you our lifestyle.

00:25:51Come on, where are we?

00:25:56Hello, welcome.

00:25:57Hello.

00:25:58Mark De Laurentiis, the king suite as usual.

00:26:01Mr. De Laurentiis, unfortunately, we lost all our reservations.

00:26:06We only have one single room with one bed.

00:26:12Uh, what? One bed?

00:26:14Yes.

00:26:15Oh, no.

00:26:17No, no.

00:26:18Just tell me, what is it going to take?

00:26:22Mr. De Laurentiis, trust me.

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.

00:26:39A second room, then.

00:26:41Oh, we are fully booked.

00:26:42I'm so sorry.

00:26:43Can I talk to the manager, please?

00:26:45Sir, um, I am the manager.

00:26:49To the owner, then, because I'm going to buy this hotel and I'm going to fire you.

00:26:53Relax, safe firing for the restaurant.

00:26:56Uh, we will take the room.

00:26:59Fine.

00:27:00I'm going to take the couch.

00:27:02The room doesn't have a couch.

00:27:05Perfect.

00:27:06You are all set.

00:27:07Have a great night.

00:27:13Well, I am going to sleep in my car.

00:27:16No.

00:27:17What?

00:27:18Mark, it's been a long day.

00:27:20We can share the bed.

00:27:21Well, okay.

00:27:22If you insist, we are two adults, huh?

00:27:23What's the worst thing that could happen?

00:27:25I have to go.

00:27:26Sorry.

00:27:27You got this, Hayley.

00:27:28He's not even that attractive.

00:27:29Ahem.

00:27:30Hm.

00:27:31Oh.

00:27:32Oh.

00:27:33Oh.

00:27:34Oh.

00:27:35Oh.

00:27:36Oh.

00:27:37Oh.

00:27:38Oh.

00:27:39Oh.

00:27:40Oh.

00:27:41Oh.

00:27:42Oh.

00:27:43Oh.

00:27:44Oh.

00:27:45Oh.

00:27:46Oh.

00:27:47Oh.

00:27:48Oh.

00:27:49Oh.

00:27:50Oh.

00:27:51Oh.

00:27:52Oh.

00:27:53Oh.

00:27:54Oh.

00:27:55Oh.

00:27:56Oh.

00:27:57Oh.

00:27:58Oh.

00:28:04Oh.

00:28:06Oh.

00:28:08Oh.

00:28:10Oh.

00:28:12Oh.

00:28:13Sorry.

00:28:14I am not even more looking.

00:28:20Oh.

00:28:21Oh.

00:28:22I do, I am running.

00:28:23Oh.

00:28:24Oh.

00:28:26Oh.

00:28:27Oh.

00:28:27I, you, uh, you look, oh, sorry, I, I'm sorry, I didn't think we'd be sharing a room.

00:28:44Are you cold?

00:28:45Here, take the shirt.

00:28:46Oh, no, I, I think that's probably a bad idea.

00:28:51You know, that's comfy, right?

00:28:55Yeah.

00:28:55Yeah, we should get into bed, Taylor.

00:28:57I mean, ha, to sleep.

00:29:02You're going to take the left side?

00:29:04Yeah.

00:29:19Good night.

00:29:21Good night.

00:29:25What is he doing?

00:29:37Can I ask you a question?

00:29:40When did you know you wanted to be a chef?

00:29:42When I was four.

00:29:44On my birthday.

00:29:45My mom got me this kitchen play set, and, uh, I never wanted to play with anything else.

00:29:53I remember playing, too.

00:29:55With my family's friend.

00:29:57I hated being a chef.

00:30:00So it changed.

00:30:00I actually started liking to be a chef at the, the golden table.

00:30:09I used to play cooking with the chef's daughter at her little kitchen play set.

00:30:16We always thought about that one little part.

00:30:20Yeah, I want it.

00:30:21I want it.

00:30:22I want it.

00:30:23It's the red one.

00:30:27How'd you know?

00:30:29Oh.

00:30:30Oh.

00:30:31Like I said, I had the same one.

00:30:36So, didn't, didn't everyone?

00:30:39Yeah.

00:30:44Yeah.

00:30:45As we got older, we started creating our own recipes.

00:30:50I'll call it crowd eggs.

00:30:53Then we could cook together.

00:30:55You can be me.

00:30:56Soul chef.

00:30:57You mean, sous chef.

00:31:00Started cooking all our first dishes.

00:31:02Seeing her cook was so great.

00:31:07She was so alive, so happy.

00:31:09And I think that changed something in me.

00:31:12And I wanted to be a chef.

00:31:16But I wish I could cook with her again.

00:31:19Maybe you can.

00:31:20She's actually a lot like you.

00:31:23She always used to throw me in everything.

00:31:28Where did you say your mom was a chef?

00:31:32She was the best chef.

00:31:35But one of her best friends stole her recipes.

00:31:43Who was that thief?

00:31:46I mean, tell me and I will destroy the restaurant.

00:31:51Her name...

00:31:53Her name was...

00:31:56Her...

00:31:57Who's that boyfriend?

00:31:59Oh, um...

00:32:02It's my dad.

00:32:03Do you mind?

00:32:05No.

00:32:05Go ahead.

00:32:13Hello?

00:32:15Hayley.

00:32:16Where are you?

00:32:17I'm at your place.

00:32:18Look, I...

00:32:19I have an early morning.

00:32:21I'll explain later.

00:32:23I know.

00:32:24I got back early.

00:32:25I have huge news.

00:32:27Where are you?

00:32:28There was an emergency with our suppliers.

00:32:30But I'm upstate at a farm with Mark.

00:32:33I'll be back.

00:32:35What?

00:32:37Upstate?

00:32:38Mark?

00:32:39So first, it's overtime.

00:32:42Now a business trip and you're sleeping with him?

00:32:49Be at my place tomorrow before dark.

00:32:51Okay?

00:32:51Do you understand?

00:32:52Do you understand?

00:32:52Good day.

00:33:17Bye.

00:33:18Bye.

00:33:19Bye.

00:33:20Bye.

00:33:21Bye.

00:33:21I love you.

00:33:41Morning.

00:33:42Um, coffee?

00:33:45Oh.

00:33:46Um.

00:33:51I, uh, have to get home before it's dark.

00:33:54Your dad is kind of strict.

00:33:57I wonder what we can get done in a couple of hours.

00:34:21Can't get enough.

00:34:23No, I can't.

00:34:24I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:34:26Taste of you.

00:34:28Give me that taste of your love.

00:34:30Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:34:32Can't get enough.

00:34:34Ah!

00:34:40You got this, Hayley.

00:34:42The sooner you tell Adrian about Mark, the better.

00:34:51Surprise!

00:34:53Surprise!

00:35:10I have never seen you dance or smile in the kitchen before.

00:35:15Who are you and what have you done with Mark?

00:35:18I met someone, okay?

00:35:19Not someone.

00:35:20The one.

00:35:21Really?

00:35:22Well, what's her name?

00:35:23Where did you meet?

00:35:24And I want to know everything.

00:35:25I don't want to jinx you.

00:35:26Surprise!

00:35:27Come on, babe.

00:35:28Come on.

00:35:29Come on.

00:35:30Come on.

00:35:31Yeah.

00:35:32Oh.

00:35:33Oh.

00:35:34Oh.

00:35:35Oh.

00:35:36Oh.

00:35:37Oh.

00:35:38Oh.

00:35:39Oh.

00:35:40Oh.

00:35:41Oh.

00:35:42Oh.

00:35:43Oh.

00:35:44Oh.

00:35:45Oh.

00:35:46Oh.

00:35:47Oh.

00:35:48My birthday's not for another month.

00:35:51I invited all of us here today to share in this magical moment.

00:35:56Dad.

00:35:57Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell.

00:36:00Adrian, what's going on?

00:36:02First, I'd like to tell everyone here that you are now looking at America's newest millionaire.

00:36:08You sold the company.

00:36:09Congratulations.

00:36:10Now that we're rich, I think it's time to move on to our next chapter.

00:36:21I didn't want to say it.

00:36:22My birthday idol is Nicki's American.

00:36:24A boy even.

00:36:25Say.

00:36:26Ichaka.

00:36:27Hey!

00:36:28Audrey thought I'd be in the last few times.

00:36:29Oh my.

00:36:30不到.

00:36:31There's no?-

00:36:32Amen.

00:36:33I'm going to live in难ori.

00:36:34Ok.

00:36:35Hey.

00:36:36Hey!

00:36:37Hayley Rivers.

00:36:38I need to take me to tell you how theimi is.

00:36:39That's my book.

00:36:40It's what we'll do.

00:36:41Hey.

00:36:42It's superfax.

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?

00:36:59Been doing forever.

00:37:00Kinda need you to say something here.

00:37:05That's a yes!

00:37:06That's a yes!

00:37:10It fits.

00:37:12Congratulations, honey.

00:37:14Wow!

00:37:15We're missionaries!

00:37:20I would also like to announce

00:37:23that I will be buying the golden table

00:37:25as a gift to my new fiancee.

00:37:28Signed this morning.

00:37:32What?

00:37:33Adrian, why don't we talk?

00:37:34Yeah.

00:37:35Okay, give us one second.

00:37:38It's done.

00:37:39You no longer have to work for that smug bastard,

00:37:41De La Renta, whatever, okay?

00:37:43You can just stay home.

00:37:44Diego, you are my best friend.

00:37:47My only friend.

00:37:50She's the right one.

00:37:51Trust me.

00:37:55Fuck, 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.

00:38:09But I'm this close to getting Mark's recipes.

00:38:12Mark?

00:38:13What?

00:38:14What?

00:38:15Hayley, what is going on?

00:38:16Do you love him?

00:38:18Adrian, I...

00:38:29No.

00:38:30I can never love him.

00:38:32I'm just using him for revenge.

00:38:35I'm going to destroy Mark De Laurentiis.

00:38:37Oh, 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...

00:38:58Hayley and I perfected De Laurentiis Beef Wellington.

00:39:09From today moving onwards,

00:39:11Hayley 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.

00:39:31So 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, okay.

00:40:15Stop.

00:40:16Stop.

00:40:16We have to get back to the kitchen.

00:40:18We can't.

00:40:19Stop.

00:40:19I am done playing games, okay?

00:40:22Hayley, I want you.

00:40:25This time for real, Hayley Rose.

00:40:28You don't even know me.

00:40:29I know you.

00:40:31You have the feeling I know you for my whole life.

00:40:33Look, you're smart, you are funny, and you are sexy as hell.

00:40:40And I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:40:48Mark, you have to get back to the kitchen.

00:40:50To the hell with the kitchen.

00:40:53All desire can burn.

00:40:54I don't care, okay?

00:40:56Do you feel that?

00:40:59Feel it.

00:41:00My heart is beating for you and all of you.

00:41:11Fine.

00:41:12Let desire burn, then.

00:41:15I want to be the first time at De Laurentiis, let a successful business burn.

00:41:18Bigger than golden table.

00:41:30I'm thinking of golden kitchen, right?

00:41:40He did it!

00:41:42So what is he cooking?

00:41:43I don't know. I haven't looked yet. I couldn't.

00:41:49I feel like a cheater.

00:41:51We can now enter the golden table into the culinary cup.

00:41:54And with Mark's recipes, we're sure to win.

00:42:01Wait a minute.

00:42:03Is this a joke?

00:42:07That's his recipe book.

00:42:08These are not Mark's recipes.

00:42:10These are yours!

00:42:14Grilled cheese, spaghetti, cloud eggs.

00:42:17What the hell is a cloud egg?

00:42:19No.

00:42:22This 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?

00:42:31I don't know what to tell you.

00:42:33I stole this from him.

00:42:37Why would he be reading your childhood recipes?

00:42:40You'd be reading your childhood recipes.

00:42:45Maybe she got him next to 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.

00:42:56You are so pathetic.

00:43:00Go get this real recipe.

00:43:05Go, go.

00:43:06You know what, Dad?

00:43:10That'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.

00:43:19I became sous chef for Mark De Laurentiis.

00:43:22I 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, you 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.

00:43:49It's a chain.

00:43:58I'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.

00:44:14Haley.

00:44:16Get back here!

00:44:28What's going on?

00:44:35Shh!

00:44:36This is my kitchen now.

00:44:38From now on, the only words out of your mouth are going to be yes, chef.

00:44:44Yes, chef.

00:44:45Take off your shirt.

00:44:47Yes, chef.

00:44:58Take me now.

00:45:28Yes, chef.

00:45:39Good morning.

00:45:41I thought it's time for some classic brunch.

00:45:45Scrambled eggs and croissants?

00:45:47I'm just my favorite meal.

00:45:49Mine too.

00:45:51I'm starving.

00:45:52Let's get cooking.

00:45:58I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:46:05Got me feeling high.

00:46:07Feeling low.

00:46:09Feeling things I never knew before.

00:46:11I can't get enough.

00:46:12I can't.

00:46:13I can't.

00:46:13I'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.

00:46:32Why do you have my notebook?

00:46:45I found it.

00:46:45I found it and I have the same one when I was little.

00:46:49So, I must have gotten them confused.

00:46:52I belong to her.

00:47:00The girl who made me fall in love with cooking.

00:47:01I call it cloud eggs.

00:47:06You can 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.

00:47:19All 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.

00:47:43Well, it's easy to get lost.

00:47:47For 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...

00:48:01There's something I have to tell you.

00:48:06Shit.

00:48:06I got called in early for Mother's Day.

00:48:15You ready for Mayan?

00:48:21I'll tell him tonight.

00:48:22I'll tell you what.

00:48:29Adrienne Blackwell.

00:48:32I work at Desire.

00:48:33And I have some information you might be interested in.

00:48:37I'm not interested.

00:48:38Please leave.

00:48:43Hayley and Mark are having an affair.

00:48:48Hayley and Mark are having an affair.

00:48:51That bitch.

00:48:54Should have known she was a liar.

00:48:55The question is, how can we ruin her?

00:49:00What does she love the most?

00:49:05Her family restaurant.

00:49:07Have you heard of the golden table?

00:49:09She's the daughter of Chef Maya?

00:49:14On top of stealing my love, she already owns her own restaurant?

00:49:19Not anymore.

00:49:20Her father sold it to me.

00:49:22I was going to gift it back to Harry.

00:49:24Now you need a new chef.

00:49:30And partner in crime.

00:49:34What flavor of crime are you thinking?

00:49:39I have a few ideas.

00:49:45Look, I don't understand, okay?

00:49:47Chef, our supplier said Hayley canceled our whole order.

00:49:50Me?

00:49:51What?

00:49:53No, I didn't.

00:49:54Look, today is Mother's Day, okay?

00:49:56We have the first seating in one hour.

00:49:58And you're telling me we don't have any food?

00:50:03Chef, it's a worse, but way worse.

00:50:08We'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.

00:50:15How about a one-star Yelp review?

00:50:17Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm.

00:50:19There seems to be a minor glitch in our reservation system.

00:50:25Hey, what's going on?

00:50:27Well, everybody's reservations somehow got booked for the same time.

00:50:31We're overbooked and we don't have any food.

00:50:33I have the best hackers in Silicon Valley on my payroll.

00:50:44Desire's reservation system's a fucking joke.

00:50:47And I just canceled all of our supplier shipments for today.

00:50:50So you're telling me there's an angry mob of starving super fans out there?

00:50:56And no food to serve them.

00:50:57I think we have to cancel today's service.

00:51:09Or 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.

00:51:23Clear the tables, pump up the music, and bring out the wine.

00:51:27We're having a Mother's Day party tonight.

00:51:30Come on, go! Everybody go!

00:51:32What are you waiting for?

00:51:33Yes, Chef!

00:51:35WK, what are you here to see for me?

00:51:39You can't make them drunk enough to forget that they're hungry.

00:51:42Well, then we'll just have to source locally.

00:51:44But it's Sunday night.

00:51:46All of the suppliers are closed.

00:51:49Mark, follow me.

00:51:53How would you like to be our supplier for today?

00:52:03We need protein.

00:52:06We have chicken nuggets.

00:52:09Chicken nuggets?

00:52:11Well, what are we doing with chicken nuggets?

00:52:13We could deconstruct these, potato chips, wasabi peas,

00:52:17uh, crusted chicken with, uh, soy sauce, um, honey reduction glaze, um, sweet and sour umami.

00:52:25Yes, and 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, uh, we do, but we, we just ran out, but I couldn't brew some more.

00:52:45How much of a risk are you willing to take coffee?

00:52:58Can we do whatever it takes?

00:53:00Okay, um, coffee please.

00:53:02Yes, yes, coffee.

00:53:03And how are we doing tonight, gentlemen?

00:53:14It's taking out so long.

00:53:21Okay, chefs, come on, we're already late.

00:53:23Let's cook like we've never cooked before, okay?

00:53:25Yeah, let's go.

00:53:28Chicken nuggets.

00:53:37One for the peas.

00:53:51Dinner is served, everyone.

00:53:52Now, uh, 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 is on the house.

00:54:07They're enjoying themselves.

00:54:18Are you ready to make something sweet?

00:54:22Chef.

00:54:28Oh my god, this is so good.

00:54:31You should try it.

00:54:33Chef, why are you eating the slurpees?

00:54:35Have you never had one before?

00:54:36No.

00:54:37I'm clearly missing one.

00:54:38Okay, that's great.

00:54:39Well, let's get back to work, please.

00:54:42Hand that over.

00:54:44Oh.

00:54:44And for our last dish of the night, we present a wild berry granita.

00:54:56Enjoy.

00:54:56Thank you for allowing us to leave.

00:55:03Wow.

00:55:03Just off tips alone, that was our most lucrative night.

00:55:07Ever.

00:55:07And we've gone viral on social media.

00:55:11Thanks to you, Hailey.

00:55:14She saved us.

00:55:14Cut your plans from across the heat.

00:55:20Oh, and Mark, there's a VIP guest here who wanted to give his personal compliments to the chef.

00:55:25I heard your food was exquisite, but after tasting it myself, it's worse than convenience store food.

00:55:44Um, excuse me, I thought you wanted to give your compliments to the chefs?

00:55:49Compliments?

00:55:50No, no, complaints.

00:55:53This was the worst experience I've ever had in my dining career.

00:55:58So tell me, who's responsible?

00:56:02I take full responsibility.

00:56:05So tell me, is there anything we can do to make this right?

00:56:11Well, you could start by firing her.

00:56:13Um, well, I am sorry to say, but our sous chef is irreplaceable, I desire.

00:56:27I get it now.

00:56:30You two are fucking.

00:56:33Tell me, how long has this been going on, you slut?

00:56:39Hey, watch it.

00:56:41Where have you been doing it?

00:56:45The kitchen?

00:56:56Are you going to finish that?

00:57:02So the culinary cup is this weekend, right?

00:57:06So I need to tell you my recipes, right?

00:57:07Oh, um, your recipes.

00:57:11Ever since my ex stole them, I never write them down.

00:57:16I always have them locked in here.

00:57:18But I know I can trust you.

00:57:21So for the first dish, I thought...

00:57:22No, 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.

00:57:33Okay, so for the first dish, I thought we could...

00:57:36I'm not, I'm not who you think I am.

00:57:43I'm not who you think I am.

00:57:44Who are you?

00:57:54My mom left that year.

00:57:56She said that is one of her most cherished memories.

00:58:00Do you know her?

00:58:03Chef Maya.

00:58:04She's the first woman who won the culinary cup.

00:58:10My mom and her were actually besties before they had a fallout, after she lost.

00:58:16Lost?

00:58:17Wow, really?

00:58:19Your mom stole Chef Maya's recipes.

00:58:21My 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.

00:58:30And then she tried to buy out the golden table.

00:58:33Who told you that nonsense?

00:58:35Why did your mom make several of Chef Maya's dishes at the culinary cup, huh?

00:58:41See?

00:58:42He's got nothing.

00:58:44Look, 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?

00:58:57I don't believe you.

00:58:58They were having an affair.

00:59:04I remember my mom told me that Chef Maya wanted to sell the golden table because she wanted to quit

00:59:10luxury 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 after.

00:59:21No, stop.

00:59:22That's not true.

00:59:25It is true.

00:59:27Wait, 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.

00:59:45To represent the golden table in the culinary cup and take down desire in the same way that your

00:59:49mother took down us.

00:59:51So this is all fate?

00:59:55You and me?

00:59:57No, Mark.

00:59:58I'm, it was, but it's...

00:59:59Get out!

01:00:01Mark, please, I can explain.

01:00:04I'm...

01:00:04What else did you lie about, huh?

01:00:06Are you married?

01:00:08Do you have kids?

01:00:09I, I was engaged.

01:00:16Engaged?

01:00:20Holy shit.

01:00:22To the guy that I punched?

01:00:24Is that the guy, huh?

01:00:26Yes, but I broke it off, okay?

01:00:28And, and it's, it's not happening anymore.

01:00:31I, I don't love him.

01:00:32I love you.

01:00:40So Diego was right.

01:00:42You're just like Dominique.

01:00:46No, he's...

01:00:46You're fired!

01:00:48Hayley, Elizabeth, whoever the fuck you are, get out.

01:00:54Get out!

01:01:02Hello.

01:01:21Yes, this is Hayley Robertson.

01:01:24Oh my god.

01:01:27I'll be there in a second.

01:01:32Dad, Dad!

01:01:34Hayley?

01:01:36He took it.

01:01:37He took everything.

01:01:40Oh!

01:01:41Who took what?

01:01:42Adrian!

01:01:43He keeps me out.

01:01:45He took the golden table from us, Hayley.

01:01:48No, no, he can't do that.

01:01:49I signed over to him.

01:01:52And now that you guys are broken up.

01:01:56Hayley, you gotta get the golden table back for us.

01:01:59For your mother.

01:02:01For your mother.

01:02:05Stanley!

01:02:06She took the golden barnacles.

01:02:13Well, well, well, if it isn't my ex-fiancé.

01:02:20Adrian, I'm so, so sorry, but please give me my mother's restroom back.

01:02:29And what do I get in return?

01:02:32I can cook for you.

01:02:35I can... anything.

01:02:37But 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.

01:02:42You and your pretty little boyfriend.

01:02:45Hayley!

01:02:46My 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.

01:03:29Hey, Hayley.

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.

01:04:14You don't.

01:04:18Okay.

01:04:19It's time to tell you the truth.

01:04:24Ah.

01:04:30The truth is, your mother, she wanted to close the golden table.

01:04:34And 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 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.

01:05:02Man.

01:05:03Man, you've got to understand.

01:05:05Ingrid and I, we were in love.

01:05:07Not just with each other.

01:05:09With 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.

01:05:32I wish he died.

01:05:38So did Archery.

01:05:40We would have so killed him.

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 coping table, that was 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.

01:06:13Hey, Hayley.

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 Hayley 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.

01:07:11Do you know what happens when dry ice meets boiling water?

01:07:14Good luck, Chef.

01:07:25Come on!

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.

01:08:07Pumpkin, how's life?

01:08:10You're okay.

01:08:12Looks like something's wrong.

01:08:13Dad, 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.

01:08:42Does he love you, too?

01:08:46He loathes me.

01:08:48Oh, God.

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, you're sick.

01:09:02I'm sick of this hospital.

01:09:04Come on, sneak me out of here, please.

01:09:07Look.

01:09:07I have a solution.

01:09:10I have a solution.

01:09:12Welcome to the annual culinary cup.

01:09:17Over 100 chefs battled, and America voted to bring the six most talented to the stage today.

01:09:23Now, let's meet our contestants.

01:09:25Mark DeLaurentius, from Desire.

01:09:28Will he defend his title, or will his reign come to an end?

01:09:33Vanessa, what are you doing?

01:09:36I need your hand.

01:09:36I can't do it alone.

01:09:37Oh, 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!

01:10:56Let's welcome Hayley Rivers.

01:10:59Ruffin' Mother's Table.

01:11:00By the end of today, one chef will be crowned the Culinary Cup Champion!

01:11:17Woo!

01:11:18First impressions are everything.

01:11:20So your task is to create an appetizer that introduces you and your taste.

01:11:26The clock is set.

01:11:27Your ingredients await.

01:11:30Three, two, one, cook!

01:11:54Time's up, chefs!

01:11:57Now, 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.

01:12:14For the appetizer, I prepared a Wagyu tartare.

01:12:18And to balance the heavy flavor, I have balsamic made out of scarlet bell strawberries.

01:12:25Okay.

01:12:26All right.

01:12:33Hello.

01:12:34Um...

01:12:34Hi, judges.

01:12:37At my pop-up mother's table, we value comfort.

01:12:40And the two of my favorite things to bake are flans and tarts.

01:12:45tarts. So this is a tart flan. It's fusion? Call me a traditionalist, but I won't ever

01:12:54taste fusion food. It's effortless. It's not fusion. It's something completely new.

01:13:02The judges have voted. The following three will move on in the second round.

01:13:07Mark De Laurentiis, Vanessa Laurentiis, and Haley Rivers.

01:13:21Well, before we proceed, let's hear a few words from our three finalists. Chef De Laurentiis,

01:13:27you're no stranger to the stage, but now you're competing against two of your former chefs.

01:13:32What do you make of your competitors? That's an easy question. Chef Laurentiis,

01:13:40she's an excellent dishwasher. Although I found a little stain in her dish.

01:13:47You are fired, by the way. And Chef Rivers. She is a dangerous woman and an excellent chef.

01:13:56Mark is a lousy excuse of a man. And Haley only got to where she got because she swapped her way to the top.

01:14:08What 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. Or more.

01:14:29Um, good luck, Vanessa, Mark.

01:14:31Well, there you have it. You guys ready for round two? Yeah. All right. Cook any cuisine,

01:14:42but you must incorporate this special ingredient. What is it? Can everybody say cheese?

01:14:55It appears Chef De Laurentiis has dropped his entree. He'll be judged solely on his appetizer alone.

01:15:25Is that a grilled cheese? What is this? A school lunch? What's the most important part about grilled cheese?

01:15:33It's not the cheese, but the bread. That perfect contrast between crispy exterior and gooey interior.

01:15:38It's a bread. It's almost laminated like a croissant, but grilled.

01:15:44I haven't seen bread this good since judging the Culinary Cup winner, Chef Maya Miller.

01:15:51The two chefs to move on to our final round are Chef Vanessa Laurentiis and Chef Haley Rivers.

01:16:13And how about a round of applause for Chef Mark De Laurentiis?

01:16:28Wait, Mark.

01:16:31Why don't you join Mother's Table?

01:16:33Well, folks, it looks like we might have an alliance brewing over here.

01:16:41The Culinary Cup has never had two contestants join together.

01:16:46I was supposed to be his sous chef. Originally, we were supposed to work together.

01:16:53There are no rules against it, so it's up to Chef De Laurentiis.

01:16:57I don't know what to say, except you're going down, Vanessa.

01:17:12Well, folks, get ready for our final round right after these messages.

01:17:20So, what's your better plan for tonight?

01:17:22Um, I was thinking maybe a quiche.

01:17:26Quiche?

01:17:28I don't know. I didn't actually think I'd get this far.

01:17:31Chefs, welcome to the final round of the Culinary Cup.

01:17:36The theme of your final dish is...

01:17:40The Last Supper. The judges would like to see a signature dish that defines your career.

01:17:45This is your final statement. The last dish you will want to leave on this earth.

01:17:48Let's get started.

01:18:06I need this.

01:18:08Okay, if we want to do this, we have to stop fighting, okay?

01:18:11Think. What are our strengths?

01:18:14Well, you are the protein king, so...

01:18:17Please don't call me.

01:18:19What? You have the best meat I've ever tasted.

01:18:24Okay, you can say that again.

01:18:28Um, and you are clearly the pastry queen.

01:18:34So, what's something that showcases both of our talents?

01:18:37You make the pastry?

01:18:43Okay, and you make the tinderling.

01:18:45Got it.

01:18:51Well, you've always been rough.

01:19:04All right, give me your meat.

01:19:10Well, it's time to make it a rice, huh?

01:19:12Now for my signature garnish.

01:19:29Wow, it looks like Chef Laurent's finished with 10 minutes to spare.

01:19:34What do you want?

01:19:48I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything.

01:19:53Will you forgive me for the damage that I've caused?

01:20:06Mark, no hurt feelings, right?

01:20:12No.

01:20:13Your signature shallots.

01:20:17What an explosive garnish.

01:20:33Hey!

01:20:33Hey, hey, are you okay?

01:20:45No.

01:20:45Did any oil hit you?

01:20:47No, I'm fine, I'm fine, I...

01:20:50It's Pete Wellington, it's ruined.

01:20:54Are we gonna lose now?

01:20:56Hey, look.

01:20:57My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.

01:21:00But there's some more to this world than just cups, stars, and...

01:21:07Donna science.

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 student I've ever had.

01:21:34What are you doing?

01:21:34We have only five minutes.

01:21:59The best student I've ever had.

01:22:18What's this?

01:22:19She seems to have frozen in place.

01:22:21Is she choking?

01:22:22I'm sorry.

01:22:30Or you?

01:22:31I'm sorry.

01:22:31Oh, my God.

01:22:32Oh, my God.

01:22:33No, no, no.

01:22:33I may not go there.

01:22:34I will ain't no-

01:22:34And I will.

01:22:36I am.

01:22:37I am.

01:22:37Oh, my God.

01:22:38I am.

01:22:39I am.

01:22:40I am.

01:22:40I will.

01:22:41I will.

01:22:42I will.

01:22:43Oh, my God.

01:22:44Oh, my God.

01:22:46I am.

01:22:47I will.

01:22:48I will.

01:22:49I will.

01:22:49I am.

01:22:49You are.

01:22:51I call it cloud eggs, because behind the cloudy white is a red sun ready to shine.

01:23:19Do 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.

01:23:39Let's go.

01:23:41Mark, why don't you take my cookbook so we could cook together again?

01:24:03It's you.

01:24:05It's always been you.

01:24:07Chef Maya Miller was my mother.

01:24:11You kept my notebook all those years.

01:24:15You're my first soul chef.

01:24:19Shh.

01:24:25Four, four, three, two, one.

01:24:29And the winner of this year's Culinary Cup by default is Vanessa Leron.

01:24:35Yes!

01:24:37That's my girl.

01:24:39That's my girl.

01:24:40Eat it, Hailey.

01:24:41You loser.

01:24:42Yes!

01:24:43Well, I'm sorry I lied to you about who I am and for being a spy.

01:24:51I'm sorry that I was such a dick.

01:24:55I'm an asshole.

01:24:58So apparently you can be both.

01:25:01Hailey, can you forgive me?

01:25:05Only if you forgive me first.

01:25:16Your mother spent their whole lives chasing that cup.

01:25:22Yeah.

01:25:23And they lost themselves to win it.

01:25:26We win!

01:25:27You lose!

01:25:28How'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.

01:25:46Okay.

01:25:47I can afford to serve another knuckle sandwich.

01:26:00In your face!

01:26:16Congratulations.

01:26:17You are a shitty person, but a good chef.

01:26:22I 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.

01:26:46Hailey, 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.

01:27:00You're my first.

01:27:02You're my last.

01:27:03Forever so, Jeff.

01:27:08Hailey Rivers?

01:27:09Yes?

01:27:10Do you want to marry me?

01:27:13Yes, Chef.

01:27:16I love you.

01:27:18You too.

01:27:37Hey, you two.

01:27:38Get a room.

01:27:39Or a restaurant.

01:27:43Uh, sorry.

01:27:44Sorry, sometimes 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 owning a restaurant

01:27:53and I couldn't have asked for a better partner than Mark.

01:27:56Mother's Table is an all-day brunch spot

01:27:59that celebrates that food can be simple yet delicious.

01:28:02Now, we all know that baker,

01:28:04Chef Di Laurentiis, is a great chef.

01:28:07Today, besides our beautiful food,

01:28:10we have special exciting news to share.

01:28:13I've got a bun in the oven.

01:28:18Okay, okay, everybody.

01:28:20Enough talking, let's get cooking.

01:28:22Yeah!
