00:00
Congratulations to Chef Anthony Romano for winning the Global Culinary Championship three years in a row.
00:07
With his stars still rising, his fans fondly call him the Kitchen King.
00:11
With me are three such admirers.
00:14
Three Michelin-starred chef and restaurant owner Jonathan Pierce,
00:17
the Crown Royal Hotel Chairman Benjamin Cross,
00:20
and Vincent Russo, the U.S. Culinary Association's Director of International Affairs.
00:25
They're all here eager to work with the Kitchen King.
00:27
Work with? Oh gosh.
00:29
I'd sacrifice everything to work with the Kitchen King, but he'd never notice me.
00:34
For the Kitchen King to grace the Crown Royal Kitchens, I will personally give him $50 million.
00:41
$50 million? Please.
00:44
I pulled up with a hundo milli cash deposit.
00:47
The Kitchen King's work is worth whatever he says it is.
00:50
I'm his uncle and his business partner.
00:53
Give me the deposit and the Kitchen King will be yours.
00:56
Move aside, move aside. I'm his aunt.
00:59
I potty trained him and if I say yes, it's as good as the Kitchen King saying yes.
01:03
Give me the deposit.
01:05
Ma'am, please introduce me to the Kitchen King.
01:08
Introduce me and I will shower you with an extra five, no, $10 million.
01:13
Well, damn. For $10 million?
01:16
You got a deal, sir.
01:17
Yes.
01:18
You wife! I'm his uncle!
01:20
Don't touch me, you sicko! I'm the aunt! I'm the aunt!
01:24
Chef Romano's relatives are easy to buy?
01:27
Who knew?
01:27
Where is Chef Romano?
01:43
The Kitchen King is missing!
01:46
Breaking news!
01:47
Chef Anthony Romano is nowhere to be found.
01:50
After searching for days, his assistant has no leads as to why, at his career apex,
01:54
Chef Romano would vanish. His fate, a mystery.
01:57
Watch your eyeballs, Tony.
02:12
You know, I've had my eye on you for a while now and you have your eyes on Miss Laurent.
02:17
What, did you catch feelings or something?
02:21
Aw, broke little kitchen boy thinks he's good enough for the head chef's daughter.
02:27
Dream on.
02:30
Our street urchin has feelings for Miss Laurent.
02:33
A year ago, he was on the streets. She took him in, gave him food, shelter, of course he's in Luke.
02:39
Miss Laurent will reject any man who is not an outstanding chef, dashingly handsome,
02:43
and a man of righteous elegance like, I don't know, the Kitchen King.
02:49
You, forget it.
02:52
I need some help, right now.
02:55
What, what happened?
02:56
The Saucyere will be signed, Chef Laurent has to do it himself.
02:58
I need someone who can help.
03:00
Again, that's the seventh Saucyere this month.
03:02
Man, Shuf Laurent standards are so high.
03:04
Who will ever live up to him?
03:08
Today is huge.
03:10
You know, the chairman of the restaurant association, Mr. Marcelli?
03:13
He brought Benny Boucher, he a late restaurant critic, to the restaurant.
03:18
If we bump this up, we kiss our Michelin stars goodbye.
03:23
Mr. Marcelli, he's the chairman now.
03:28
Why are you standing there muttering,
03:30
Look, give me someone to help now.
03:33
Here, take Tony.
03:35
He'll be amazing.
03:38
Are you sure he can do it?
03:39
Come to think of it,
03:41
Tony's the only guy Chef Laurent's never chewed out.
03:43
If it's about chopping up veggies or grunt work, he'll nail it.
03:50
Hurry.
03:51
Come on, let's go.
03:53
Damn it.
03:53
He can help.
04:02
Tony?
04:03
No, he's a kitchen boy.
04:05
I sent you to get help, and you brought back a kitchen boy?
04:08
Can't you find someone more experienced?
04:10
Isn't this the mega-perf who ogles Jessica all day long?
04:15
A kitchen boy?
04:16
What can he do?
04:18
Stay out of the way and not make it worse?
04:20
Sir, Mr. Marcelli is complaining.
04:22
He's hungry.
04:25
Come on.
04:26
Cut some asparagus and some cherry tomatoes.
04:49
He's too slow.
04:51
I'll do it myself.
04:52
Even I can cut better and faster than this simple can.
04:55
Dad, let somebody else do it.
05:00
Am I blind?
05:02
Is he cutting between the scents?
05:04
Oh my God.
05:06
He hasn't spilled a drop of moisture.
05:10
No.
05:12
He will help.
05:13
Don!
05:13
Chef Laurent!
05:14
Hey, shut up.
05:15
We're running out of time.
05:17
You, help Nolan play.
05:19
Have him?
05:20
Help me?
05:21
Help me?
05:21
Help me?
05:22
No.
05:22
You ruined my dishes.
05:24
There's no time.
05:26
Mr. Marcelli is waiting.
05:27
Let's begin.
05:33
Chiles and nogada.
05:35
Our guests like spicy food.
05:37
For the Picadillos, we transported chiles de arbo from Mijocan.
05:42
For the Pueblanos, make the cuts nice and smooth.
05:46
No rough edges.
05:47
And leaves the stem where it'll look hideous on the plate.
05:50
Okay.
05:50
Okay.
05:57
For the Picadillos, mince the beef, potatoes, and carrots nicely.
06:01
No big chunks of pico de arbo, finely minced.
06:11
What's next, boss?
06:13
You-
06:14
Tony, prepare a side dish.
06:16
Yes, chef.
06:19
Getting chef's approval doesn't make you special.
06:23
Know your place, kitchen boy.
06:27
Excellent work, Nolan.
06:49
Your months of practice have really paid off.
06:52
Mr. Marcelli's gonna love it.
06:54
Thank you, chef.
06:54
We finally made it.
06:57
Is that idiot still cutting?
07:00
Chef, he's a waste of time.
07:02
Screw up.
07:05
Am I overestimating him?
07:09
Are you fucked in the head?
07:12
Benny Boucher can't eat spicy food, and you stuff him full of chili peppers?
07:17
No spices?
07:19
It's all pain.
07:21
Forget it.
07:24
This isn't a restaurant specialty.
07:26
It's trash.
07:28
No mastery of heat when cooking.
07:33
No aroma at all.
07:34
I-
07:34
I go filling ratios.
07:38
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
07:40
The knife work on the edges.
07:43
Hmm.
07:44
Clean.
07:45
Precise.
07:46
Quite brilliant, actually.
07:49
But it's roasted to ruins.
07:52
Do you have any idea how important a nice dinner was?
07:55
A multi-billion dollar investment from an international corporation was on the line.
08:00
Mr. Marcelli, sir, we're terribly sorry.
08:02
We were told that Mr. Boucher loves spicy foods.
08:05
I gave clear instructions to your brother, Gaspard.
08:09
Mr. Boucher can't eat spicy food.
08:12
Not at all.
08:13
He swore to me there'd be no problems.
08:16
And now it's nothing but chilies, chilies, chilies.
08:19
Who told Gaspard?
08:27
Steven.
08:27
Steven.
08:35
My dear brother, I told you a thousand times yesterday, no spicy foods.
08:51
Even if you hate me, ruining tonight is uncalled for.
08:55
You offended Mr. Marcelli, nearly killed Mr. Boucher, and our father.
08:59
His legacy, Le Cinecom, is ruined, and it's your fault.
09:04
You're lying.
09:06
Gaspard, you lied to us.
09:09
You wanted tonight to go wrong.
09:11
You wanted to ruin my reputation.
09:13
You wanted Mr. Marcelli's billion dollar deal to go belly up.
09:17
I told you, Mr. Boucher, dislikes spicy food.
09:22
If you misunderstood, that's on you.
09:25
Not me.
09:34
Coleslaw, sir, don't put that garbage in your mouth.
09:48
I'm beyond disappointed in you, in your restaurant, in your whole country's cuisine.
09:55
Why is Tony's side dish here?
10:00
What?
10:01
Who told the kitchen boy to serve a dish?
10:04
Are you ruining us on purpose?
10:10
Wait.
10:10
Wait, wait, wait.
10:11
Did I hear that right?
10:13
You actually let a kitchen boy cook for Mr. Marcelli and Mr. Boucher?
10:20
Steven, are you out of your goddamn mind?
10:22
Oh no, Tony's in dick shit now.
10:27
Serving slops you wouldn't feed pigs to honored guests?
10:32
It was a mistake.
10:34
A mistake.
10:37
Then you eat it.
10:40
Or you.
10:49
You're insulting our guests.
10:52
Every dish in this restaurant is prepared with care.
10:56
We don't cut any corners.
10:59
How dare you spit on our craft and waste food like this?
11:04
Waste food?
11:05
You think you're so righteous?
11:07
Then why don't you eat that pond scum yourself?
11:10
Look at you.
11:12
You won't even touch it and yet act all high and mighty with me.
11:16
Mr. Marcelli, you see?
11:19
He disrespects you.
11:20
No, no, no.
11:23
That's not true.
11:24
This is how your restaurant treats its guests?
11:27
Tonight, you're going to eat every shred of that wet cabbage.
11:33
Eat it.
11:35
Eat it.
11:36
Eat it.
11:37
Eat it.
11:38
No, no, no, Dad.
11:42
They want to humiliate you.
11:48
Mr. Marcelli, if it'll make you and Mr. Boucher happy, I will eat it.
11:55
Dad!
11:55
It's her!
11:56
Dad, Dad, don't do it.
11:57
Don't.
11:58
Don't, Dad.
11:58
Look.
11:59
Look.
11:59
Look.
12:00
Look.
12:01
Look.
12:08
You're right now.
12:25
It's incredible!
12:41
It's incredible!
12:43
Come on.
12:49
This is beyond pathetic.
12:52
Look at you.
12:53
Your face is twisted in pain.
12:54
You don't look like somebody enjoying food.
12:57
You're choking on it because it tastes like crap!
13:04
Mr. Marcelli, my brother is a loser.
13:23
His food is garbage.
13:25
Le Sinecal, my father's legacy, would fare better under my management.
13:32
Is that so?
13:34
And what exactly do you bring to the table?
13:37
I've spent a fortune hiring world-class chefs.
13:43
Name a dish, they've mastered it.
13:45
We'll perform it, and Mr. Boucher will be satisfied.
13:49
I guarantee it.
13:50
Mr. Boucher lives for food.
13:53
He's the world's top culinary critic alive.
13:56
He has sky-high standards.
13:58
If you could please him, name your price.
14:02
No problem.
14:03
When my dishes satisfy Mr. Boucher, will you hand me the rights to Le Sinecal?
14:15
As long as you can please, Mr. Boucher.
14:17
No, Mr. Maselli, I was set up by Gaspar.
14:22
Please, give me a chance to redeem myself.
14:25
I challenge him to a cooking duel.
14:29
A duel?
14:30
How quaint.
14:31
If you lose, a restaurant won't even cover it.
14:36
I'm not done.
14:37
Not only does the winner get the restaurant, but the loser will sever his own tendons.
14:44
Never to cook again.
14:46
Very well.
14:52
I'll preside.
14:54
Whoever satisfies Mr. Boucher gets the restaurant.
14:58
What just happened?
14:59
Sir, it's an unwritten code.
15:02
One cannot decline a tendon challenge.
15:05
Win.
15:06
The Culinary Association supports you for life.
15:09
Lose.
15:10
And you get the snip.
15:12
And are banned forever.
15:15
You can't be serious.
15:17
Dad!
15:18
Give him the restaurant we can start over.
15:20
But if you lose, you'll never cook again.
15:23
When we win, we keep the operating rights, yes?
15:31
Of course.
15:33
Then, do you accept my tendon challenge?
15:38
Knew you wouldn't roll over.
15:40
Too bad for you.
15:42
I came prepared.
15:44
Time to show you truly exquisite technique.
15:53
Round one, knife work.
16:23
It's an honor to compete, Chef Laurent.
16:26
My name is Mason from the Institute of Culinary Education.
16:30
I-C-E.
16:32
Mason.
16:33
Don't tell me.
16:35
Three years ago, you were awarded the highest honors from the principal himself.
16:39
Yes, sir.
16:41
I'm flattered you remember.
16:43
Whoa!
16:44
Oh, my God!
16:46
The Institute of Culinary Education.
16:49
I-C-E is the best cooking school in the world.
16:52
I remember him.
16:53
He always aced his cutting skills classes.
17:00
Who is he?
17:01
Is he the real deal or what?
17:03
Mason is famous for his knife work.
17:05
That's why he received all the highest honors.
17:08
Rumor has it he honed his knife skills from ancient sect Wushu masters in China, who are known for intricate cuts and shapes with food.
17:19
As for cooking, it's not suited for it.
17:22
But as for his knife skills, anybody can't match him.
17:26
No, Dad!
17:27
What do we do now?
17:29
Maybe Nolan should try?
17:31
But compared to Mason, he's-
17:33
Mason?
17:34
I-C-E?
17:35
Who cares?
17:36
So what if he can carve rabbits from radishes?
17:39
I can beat him hands down.
17:41
Chef Laurent, let me put him down to size.
17:43
No.
17:44
You can't win.
17:45
What?
17:46
What?
17:47
Why not?
17:52
Old man's got a hell of an eye.
17:57
Sure.
17:58
I'll give it a try.
18:00
Wait.
18:01
What are you doing?
18:03
Haven't we been humiliated enough already?
18:05
Tony, don't fuck around.
18:07
Just let Nolan go.
18:08
Dad, if we send Nolan, we might have a shot.
18:11
Tony will lose for sure.
18:13
Hey, Nova, why did there a chef send Nolan?
18:16
What is he thinking?
18:17
Chef is keeping Nolan's skills a secret.
18:20
Tony is just to catch the other guy off guard.
18:26
Mason.
18:27
When I was at I-C-E, I totes crushed the campus cooking contest thrice in a row.
18:34
Who are you?
18:36
Me.
18:38
I'm an apprentice at La Seneca.
18:42
Apprentice?
18:43
Is that a joke?
18:45
You send a kitchen boy to compete against me?
18:48
A kitchen boy is so funny.
18:52
Shall we begin?
18:54
Me crushing you will be the highlight of your life.
18:57
All right.
18:59
Round one.
19:00
And...
19:01
Go!
19:02
And...
19:03
Go!
19:04
And...
19:05
Go!
19:21
It's too fast.
19:22
I can't even see his hands.
19:24
Incredible.
19:25
Is this Kung Fu?
19:54
As you look at the detail, so lifelike.
20:08
It's pure art.
20:09
No wonder he's a pride of ICE.
20:14
Tony, what are you doing?
20:19
Cut something.
20:21
Oh shit, he can't even gut a fish!
20:25
Oh, we're doomed.
20:26
Let Nolan go!
20:51
Paper thin, like butterfly wings.
20:57
Those honors were well deserved.
21:04
What kind of knife work is this?
21:05
Is he joking?
21:06
That's it?
21:19
What a joke!
21:21
This isn't plating, this is an insult.
21:36
Tony, just get down already.
21:39
Is he serious?
21:40
That sashimi?
21:41
I could cut thinner than that.
21:44
Chef Lauren, this is what you get for not sending me.
21:48
Forget it.
21:49
The last two rounds, it's all on me.
21:54
Too easy!
21:56
This is pathetic!
21:59
No.
22:00
Something's wrong.
22:02
What do you mean?
22:04
Look!
22:06
Look at the tank!
22:11
No way I'm seeing this right.
22:18
A skeleton fish?
22:20
Swimming?
22:21
No!
22:22
No!
22:23
That's impossible!
