00:00:01Natalie Rogers, custom gift wrapping.
00:00:04Yes, I will be dropping this off in about 15 minutes.
00:00:09It's a routine.
00:00:11I finished the wreath for your food truck.
00:00:13Even if the weather is frightful, the chilies will keep you warm.
00:00:16Look.
00:00:18Muchas gracias.
00:00:20Wendy, oh!
00:00:22Christmas cards, a dress, and stamps.
00:00:27Oh, my.
00:00:28And the mailman do the rest.
00:00:30Thank you so much.
00:00:31They're beautiful.
00:00:32I love hand-addressed cards.
00:00:34But with my penmanship, no one would get them until July.
00:00:38Well, I threw in a couple extra for Joshie and Becca.
00:00:41Direct from the North Pole.
00:00:43Thank you so much.
00:00:44You're welcome.
00:00:45Merry Christmas.
00:00:46Merry Christmas, Wendy.
00:00:47Yeah, it took a little creativity, but you know I love a challenge.
00:00:50Merry Christmas.
00:00:51Natalie!
00:00:52I'm so laxy.
00:00:55Come here.
00:00:56Merry Christmas.
00:00:57Your favorite dinner's here.
00:00:59Hello, handsome.
00:01:01And these clothes.
00:01:02Who doesn't love to get all dressed up for the holidays?
00:01:05I think nobody can care of him.
00:01:07We would take him on a Christmas cruise, but it's terrible seasickness.
00:01:13Well, I am happy to.
00:01:15We are going to have a great time.
00:01:17We're going to watch It's a Wonderful Woof, and lap up Eggnog, and sing Christmas carols.
00:01:23See?
00:01:24He already knows the opening to Jingle Bells.
00:01:26You're the best pet sitter and your mom you've ever had.
00:01:30Natalie, thank you so much for doing this.
00:01:33Of course.
00:01:34Are you sure I can't convince you to come work for me?
00:01:36Thank you, but I already have a job.
00:01:38You have eight jobs.
00:01:39That was just the last time I counted.
00:01:40I may have added one or two since then, but why counts?
00:01:43I'm a Jacqueline of all trades.
00:01:45When are you going to settle down on one career?
00:01:47I don't know.
00:01:48But I figure when I find the perfect thing, I'll know it.
00:01:51And until then, I'm happy as I am.
00:01:53Well, I hope you're not still waiting on the perfect thing to do for Christmas.
00:01:56Thank you, but I'm going to spend Christmas with my cousin Olivia.
00:01:59I should probably get going.
00:02:01Miles to go before I sleep.
00:02:03Or at least a few more blocks.
00:02:05Be a good dog, okay?
00:02:07Merry Christmas.
00:02:08Merry Christmas.
00:02:09Let's go, Sparky.
00:02:12Hey, Sparky.
00:02:13Hi.
00:02:17Natalie Rogers, custom travel consultant.
00:02:20Hi, it's Olivia.
00:02:22Olivia.
00:02:23I was just talking about you.
00:02:25Are you back from Rome yet?
00:02:26Oh, no.
00:02:28I am not back from Rome.
00:02:30I guess you haven't been following the news, have you?
00:02:33It's the big chill.
00:02:34It's the new ice age.
00:02:36What are you talking about?
00:02:37So I'm stranded here.
00:02:39Oh, no.
00:02:40I know.
00:02:41It looks like I won't make it home for Christmas.
00:02:42I'm so sorry.
00:02:43It's okay.
00:02:44I'll miss you, but don't worry about me.
00:02:47Lots of friends have offered to spend their Christmases with me.
00:02:50But are you okay?
00:02:52Yeah, but I wanted to kind of keep this as a surprise.
00:02:56You know how I've been wanting to open my own restaurant for years?
00:02:59Well, I finally convinced Chef Roldi to come over to Pine Valley and be my partner.
00:03:04I remember him from when you took me to Italy when I was a little girl.
00:03:07I always thought he looked just like Santa Claus.
00:03:09Oh.
00:03:10Uh, so my plan was to open on Christmas Eve with a big traditional feast of Natale.
00:03:16You know how it is in small towns.
00:03:18Nothing is ever open on Christmas and there's always a few people with no place to go.
00:03:22No one should be alone on Christmas.
00:03:24Yeah.
00:03:25I feel terrible.
00:03:26We already had a handful of reservations I'm gonna have to cancel.
00:03:29There's no way Chef Roldi can do it all in zone.
00:03:32Oh.
00:03:33I'm so sorry.
00:03:34Yeah.
00:03:35Me too.
00:03:36Well, I wanted to let you know.
00:03:38Merry Christmas.
00:03:39Merry Christmas, Olivia.
00:03:44Problems are just opportunities and work clothes.
00:03:54Hi, Mrs. Myers.
00:03:55This is Natalie Rogers, Olivia's cousin.
00:03:58I have an idea.
00:04:00What do you know about this restaurant she's planning on opening?
00:04:03This restaurant she's planning on opening.
00:04:20Whoa.
00:04:27Whoa.
00:04:28Oh.
00:04:29Good night.
00:04:31ORCHESTRA PLAYS
00:05:01Olivia always was an optimist.
00:05:31Shefferaldi?
00:05:38You stay here.
00:05:44All dogs might go to heaven, but they should probably stay out of restaurant kitchens.
00:05:50Shefferaldi?
00:05:52Shefferaldi?
00:05:56Shefferaldi?
00:05:58Shefferaldi?
00:06:00Shefferaldi?
00:06:02Shefferaldi?
00:06:03Shefferaldi?
00:06:04Shefferaldi?
00:06:05Shefferaldi?
00:06:06Shefferaldi?
00:06:07Shefferaldi?
00:06:08Shefferaldi?
00:06:09Shefferaldi?
00:06:10Shefferaldi?
00:06:11Shefferaldi?
00:06:13Shefferaldi?
00:06:14Shefferaldi?
00:06:15Stop right there, you...
00:06:16No!
00:06:18Stop right there you
00:06:28Who are you?
00:06:29What are you doing with my sauce?
00:06:31Are you sick?
00:06:33You need coffee
00:06:35No, don't let me go
00:06:37Come here, come here
00:06:42That's so much better
00:06:44Are you hurt?
00:06:48Are you hurt?
00:06:51What?
00:06:52Are you hurt?
00:06:54No, no, no
00:06:56I, I think it's fine
00:06:58Now get out of my kitchen, presto
00:07:00Your kitchen, this is my cousin Olivia's kitchen
00:07:02General Olivia is your cousin
00:07:04And the rest one may be hers
00:07:06But the kitchen always belongs to the chef
00:07:09You can't be Chef Veraldi
00:07:12You're nothing like Santa Claus
00:07:14Oh, you think you're my uncle?
00:07:17Zio Lorenzo Araldi
00:07:19It does just look like Babo Natale
00:07:21But it was too old to come to America
00:07:23So I came instead
00:07:25Sorry
00:07:27I'm his nephew Stefano Araldi
00:07:29Ow
00:07:31I'm sorry
00:07:32I don't know the name of you
00:07:34I'm Natalie Rogers, Olivia's cousin
00:07:37Oh, I should have known
00:07:39Senor Olivia told me your cousin was
00:07:42Una bella signorina
00:07:45Oh
00:07:47That's very nice of her
00:07:50No, it's very true
00:07:52But what were you doing, uh, sneaking around my kitchen?
00:07:57I wasn't sneaking
00:07:58Well, that's not the worst way
00:08:00Sneaking and creeping
00:08:02No, I wasn't doing any of those things
00:08:04I was just looking for the chef
00:08:06You
00:08:08Is anybody here?
00:08:10Mrs. Myers
00:08:12Thanks for coming
00:08:14Have you met my cousin's best friend?
00:08:16This is Mrs. Savannah Myers
00:08:18Stefano!
00:08:19Senora Savannah
00:08:22Oh, I see you have
00:08:25And another one?
00:08:28What, third time's not a charm?
00:08:31Stefano's quite charming enough
00:08:33And who was this?
00:08:34Sparky
00:08:35I'm pet-sitting for the holidays
00:08:37Well, it was nice to see you, huh?
00:08:39And to meet you, Sparky
00:08:41But I must go, otherwise my sauce, huh?
00:08:43It would burn if I don't get back
00:08:44Oh, I just need to talk to you about
00:08:45No!
00:08:46A chef will never let his food burn
00:08:49Not for anything
00:08:51Mamma mia
00:08:54Well, fine then
00:08:55I brought your cousin's spare keys
00:08:57I'm sure she won't mind if you stay at her house
00:08:59While you're here in town
00:09:00Thank you
00:09:01I really want to go through the grand opening
00:09:03Justice plans
00:09:06Well, there's a lot of work to be done
00:09:08Every problem is an opportunity in disguise
00:09:11If you insist
00:09:12Well, let's get you settled in
00:09:13And I'll tell you what I know of her plans
00:09:15Unless I was interrupting something
00:09:17What?
00:09:18No
00:09:19He's a very handsome man
00:09:22He's a very grumpy man
00:09:23He yelled at me in Italian
00:09:25And he doesn't even look like Santa Claus
00:09:29What a cute store
00:09:30I know
00:09:31Lovely
00:09:32So nice
00:09:33You know Olivia asked me to cancel all of the Christmas reservations
00:09:36But if you're really serious
00:09:37You bet I'm serious
00:09:38Olivia didn't want to let anyone down on Christmas
00:09:41And neither do I
00:09:43Bebe, hello
00:09:45Hi, Mrs. Myers
00:09:46Bebe's one of my students
00:09:47This is my good friend's cousin Natalie
00:09:49How are you doing, Bebe?
00:09:51Eh, not so good
00:09:52I was hoping to get some town work in over vacation
00:09:55But it seems like everyone in town has already hired their holiday help
00:09:58Too bad
00:09:59I'll keep an ear out
00:10:00Thanks, Mrs. Myers
00:10:01It was nice to meet you, Miss Natalie
00:10:03Nice to meet you too
00:10:04Oh
00:10:05There's someone we should know
00:10:07Miles Croker
00:10:08He's our town culture vulture
00:10:10Culture vulture?
00:10:11You know
00:10:12He oversees all the town events and concerts and reviews everything
00:10:16From the High School Musical to the local restaurants for the paper
00:10:19Restaurant reviews, huh?
00:10:21He's tough, but fair and very well respected
00:10:23He can make or break anyone in this town
00:10:26Miles!
00:10:29Dear
00:10:30What's the matter?
00:10:31I haven't seen you this distraught since the fizzing fireworks fiasco of 09
00:10:35Oh, it's this Roman snow blow
00:10:38Oh, the blizzard that hit Rome
00:10:41My cousin stranded there for Christmas
00:10:43Well, this storm has wreaked havoc on air travel all over the world
00:10:46And in Christmas
00:10:48Our touring carolers just heard their flights home were cancelled
00:10:51And can't be rescheduled until after the holiday
00:10:54It's terrible to be away from home on Christmas
00:10:57I was hoping they'd be able to celebrate in the cafe
00:11:00It's closed on Christmas
00:11:02Aren't most places closed then?
00:11:03Yes, all of them
00:11:05Our poor carolers aren't just stranded without their loved ones
00:11:08But must also eat microwave turkey dinners
00:11:14Please excuse me
00:11:15I must call my travel agents again and see if there's anything they can do
00:11:19Those poor carolers
00:11:22I don't suppose you could do anything for the travel agent front
00:11:25I already tried for my cousin Olivia
00:11:27Everything's locked up
00:11:34It looks so beautiful
00:11:36You know Olivia
00:11:38She always has to set up her decorations right after Thanksgiving
00:11:41That way Christmas can last as long as possible
00:11:49You know she'd be here if she could
00:11:52Yeah
00:11:54I know
00:11:56I just can't remember the last time I celebrated Christmas without her
00:12:03Oh, do you wanna stay for dinner?
00:12:05Of course
00:12:06I'm sure you can find something in the freezer to cook
00:12:11Cook?
00:12:13You did just wanna have a grand restaurant opening, right?
00:12:16Yeah, I just didn't think I would be the one cooking
00:12:24I better take this
00:12:25Go ahead, make yourself at home
00:12:28Hey
00:12:29I know
00:12:30I don't know
00:12:33Miss Anya
00:12:39I want to show you Mrs. David
00:12:46Okay
00:12:57I tried that one
00:12:59Okay
00:13:01Back to planning the Peso department
00:13:19How could that be?
00:13:26Stefano
00:13:27Ciao
00:13:29I made the sauce but now there is no one to eat it so
00:13:32I thought maybe if you don't have any plans for dinner
00:13:35You can have it
00:13:37And some bones for the caglionino
00:13:39A doggy bag for the doggy
00:13:41That's very thoughtful, thank you
00:13:43Here I go
00:13:46Oh, do you wanna come in and join us for dinner?
00:13:49There's gotta be plenty
00:13:50Are you sure?
00:13:51Yeah, I was just making a lasagna
00:13:53Oh no, no, lasagna
00:13:54Oh no, no, lasagna
00:13:55Oh
00:13:56Oh
00:14:02Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry
00:14:03Sorry
00:14:04What in the world is going on here?
00:14:05What in the world is going on here?
00:14:06I was just sawing the lasagna and then I got distracted researching for the grand opening and I guess I just forgot what's going on here?
00:14:20What in the world is going on here?
00:14:21What in the world is going on here?
00:14:23What in the world is going on here?
00:14:24I was just sawing the lasagna and then I got distracted researching for the grand opening and I guess I just forgot
00:14:34Forgot?
00:14:35Forgot?
00:14:36Forgot?
00:14:37Do you forget to breathe?
00:14:38Does your heart forget to pump?
00:14:40How could you be cooking and forget?
00:14:43Not my top cook
00:14:46But I found so many wonderful ideas I didn't realize how elaborate the feast of Natalia is
00:14:51But it's a beautiful celebration, everybody comes together for a big Christmas meal that lasts for hours and hours with um, antipasta and salad and meats and sweetbreads and candied nuts and wine and music
00:15:07I thought we could decorate the whole place like a Tuscan villa but with Christmas touches like a
00:15:12Looks like
00:15:19Your mystery pasta works is magic again
00:15:23It's so
00:15:29There's parsley
00:15:31And oregano
00:15:32What else?
00:15:33It would be la specialita de la casa when we finally open Peso di Parma
00:15:38If we ever open
00:15:40Madame
00:15:42Of course you're gonna open
00:15:44And just on time
00:15:45Just in time for Christmas
00:15:46What?
00:15:47Yeah, like you and Olivia planned
00:15:49No, it's impossible
00:15:51It was three days until Christmas
00:15:54We have nothing prepared
00:15:56We have no stuff, no decoration, no food prepared
00:15:59It's impossible
00:16:00No, but I have a lot of really good ideas
00:16:02If I was right Natalie
00:16:04It's a lovely idea but
00:16:05We don't have enough time to get it done
00:16:08It's okay
00:16:09I can't hear it
00:16:13Is it coriander?
00:16:16Fettle
00:16:17Oh, come on
00:16:18You have to tell me
00:16:19If I tell you it will not be a mystery sauce anymore, right?
00:16:23But please
00:16:25Turmeric
00:16:28Paprika
00:16:29Yeah
00:16:31Natalie, I think your guess is the
00:16:33The little bit in the cook
00:16:35I don't like your lasagna
00:16:37Capito?
00:16:43Natalie
00:16:45Good morning
00:16:46Morning
00:16:47You know, I'll leave you our reservation book
00:16:49Better get started on those cancellations
00:16:52Mr. Croker
00:16:53Good morning
00:16:54Good morning
00:16:55I heard a rumor that your cousin's restaurant might be open for Christmas
00:16:59And I thought I'd come to see for myself
00:17:02I'm afraid that's just a rumor
00:17:04Just a rumor
00:17:05Oh
00:17:07Worth to try
00:17:09Oh, sorry my dear
00:17:11This is Eriella Cancio
00:17:12One of our touring carolers

00:17:16You're Italian?
00:17:17Yes

00:17:20Parma
00:17:21I'm from Piacenza
00:17:22I'm from the house
00:17:23I'm from the house
00:17:24What are you?
00:17:26Oh, I'm so sorry
00:17:27I forgot my manners
00:17:30I was just saying
00:17:31It is sad this year
00:17:32So many of us have nowhere to go
00:17:34But
00:17:36Meeting someone from the same part of Italia
00:17:38It's a little bit of home
00:17:41It's so affected it is sad
00:17:42But there's no way around it
00:17:45Sorry, what are you doing?
00:17:46Yes there is
00:17:48Just a tiny change of plans
00:17:49Mr. Croaker
00:17:51Restaurante Peso de Parma
00:17:52Would be proud to host you
00:17:53And all of the carolers
00:17:55For a big traditional
00:17:56Feast of Natale dinner on Christmas
00:17:59Oh
00:18:01Thank you
00:18:03Julia, I want to go
00:18:04Julia
00:18:08Are you kidding?
00:18:09What are you going to make the pasta?
00:18:10You want to make the pizza?
00:18:11What are you going to do?
00:18:12Huh?
00:18:13Pazza
00:18:15Pazzo
00:18:16But I can help
00:18:17No
00:18:18Oh my god
00:18:19It's going to be fine
00:18:20It's going to be fine
00:18:26Woman, you're making me crazy, eh?
00:18:30Try to tell you it's impossible
00:18:31But you're not listening, eh?
00:18:32Well
00:18:38Imposibile
00:18:39Imposibile
00:18:40Imposibile
00:18:41There's always a way
00:18:42No
00:18:43It will be
00:18:44El
00:18:45Fiasco
00:18:46And that is
00:18:47It's the same word in English
00:18:48It will not be a fiasco
00:18:49There is always
00:18:50A way
00:18:51Sometimes there is no
00:18:52There is no way
00:18:53Sometimes there is a wall
00:18:54There's just a big wall
00:18:55And no ladder
00:18:56Capiche?
00:18:57Big wall or small
00:18:59The best way to get over it
00:19:00Is to start climbing
00:19:06Maybe you are crazy
00:19:07If we can pull this off
00:19:09Your mystery sauce alone
00:19:10Is worth a five star review
00:19:14My reviews are important
00:19:16Many, many restaurants in America
00:19:18They fell because of it
00:19:19I understand
00:19:21But I thought
00:19:24I thought I would have more time to plan
00:19:25To
00:19:27To make everything perfect
00:19:29It will be perfect
00:19:31And it will be a beautiful feast of Natali
00:19:33For a bunch of people that have nowhere else to go
00:19:41I want to get my recipes
00:19:44And plan the menu
00:19:45Great
00:19:46What should I do?
00:19:47You
00:19:48You look for a rope
00:19:52Even if we can get up that wall
00:19:55Natali
00:19:56We still need a way down
00:20:04I'm so glad Miss Meyers connected us
00:20:07We have so much to do
00:20:10Okay, read me the list again
00:20:13Decor
00:20:14So all this
00:20:16Food
00:20:17Oh, that's Stefano's department
00:20:19Believe me
00:20:20You do not want me doing the cooking
00:20:22Menus
00:20:24I can do those
00:20:25Beautiful, handwritten menus
00:20:26Will be great, right?
00:20:27Yeah
00:20:29Staffing
00:20:31Staffing
00:20:33Well, we weren't gonna have a formal service for just five
00:20:35But
00:20:37We're definitely gonna need some help now
00:20:38Even going family style
00:20:40Who do you think we can get this close to Christmas?
00:20:43Well, there's this guy in my class
00:20:46Tyler
00:20:48But I don't know him that well
00:20:49Oh
00:20:50Then what makes you
00:20:51Well, just cause Melissa told me that his folks were going out of town
00:20:53And he was supposed to join them once school was out
00:20:55But then I heard from Joanna that all the flights were cancelled due to that big sinstorm in Italy
00:20:58And the last few years he was helping stock shelves at the hardware store
00:21:00But then I heard from Carolyn that he didn't take the job this year because he didn't think he'd be around
00:21:03But you don't know him very well?
00:21:05Not really
00:21:07This Tyler, he's pretty cute, huh?
00:21:10Yeah, I mean
00:21:12I guess
00:21:13I don't really pay attention all that much
00:21:16Does he have
00:21:18Furly brown hair?
00:21:19Mm-hmm
00:21:20I mean, I'm
00:21:21I don't know him that well
00:21:23And warm puppy dog eyes?
00:21:25Yeah
00:21:28How did you know that?
00:21:29Um, because there's a cute boy with curly brown hair over there pretending not to notice you for the last ten minutes
00:21:37Where?
00:21:39No, don't
00:21:41Point
00:21:43Please tell me he didn't see me
00:21:45I think he sounds like a great candidate, why don't you go offer him the job?
00:21:49I can't do that
00:21:50You should be the one to do that
00:21:51As my assistant, I'm delegating the text to you
00:21:53No, but I wouldn't even know what to say
00:21:54You'll be fine
00:21:55Go on, I'll help you
00:21:56I'll help you
00:21:59Tyler!
00:22:13Hi
00:22:15It's Bebe
00:22:17Jordan
00:22:18From school
00:22:19You know
00:22:21Oh Bebe, hi
00:22:22Uh
00:22:24Uh

00:22:36Not much
00:22:38How are you?
00:22:39I'm cool
00:22:41What's that?
00:22:42No, no, no
00:22:43Just some
00:22:45Just some reindeer went by
00:22:47You know, no big deal
00:22:48Reindeer, right
00:22:49Oh, I was wondering if you wanted a job for the holidays
00:22:53You'd be working with me
00:22:54Not every second
00:22:56Not every second
00:22:57Just sometimes
00:22:59Only when we had to
00:23:00Uh, well, uh, uh, sure
00:23:02Yeah, that'd be
00:23:03Cool
00:23:04What's the
00:23:05Cool
00:23:06What's the job?
00:23:07What is it?
00:23:09Miming
00:23:10Miming?
00:23:11I...
00:23:12I...
00:23:13I...
00:23:14I don't...
00:23:15Serving
00:23:16Food
00:23:17In a restaurant
00:23:18That...
00:23:19Yes, that I can do
00:23:20Yeah
00:23:21Good
00:23:22Cause there's also...
00:23:24Drumming
00:23:26Um
00:23:27Cooking
00:23:28Cooking
00:23:29Helping cook in the kitchen
00:23:32I'd like to cook
00:23:33Good
00:23:34Yeah
00:23:35Cause there also might be...
00:23:38You know what?
00:23:39Here's my boss, Miss Natalie, right now
00:23:42Hey, Tyler
00:23:45Hi
00:23:46Bibi's told me a lot about you
00:23:48Even though she doesn't know you very well
00:23:52I think if you're interested in the job, you'd be a great fit
00:23:55It sounds great
00:23:57Great, um, why don't you head on over to Pets of the Parma
00:24:00I'll let Stefano know you're on your way
00:24:02Thanks, Miss Natalie, uh, thank you
00:24:06Um, thanks, Bibi
00:24:08I...
00:24:09I'll, uh...
00:24:10I'll see you later
00:24:11Yeah
00:24:20Andiamo, Tyler
00:24:21Dry storage
00:24:22Cold storage
00:24:23Prepping area
00:24:25Prepping area
00:24:27Hotline
00:24:28Coldline
00:24:29Blading area
00:24:31Capito
00:24:32Law of life in cooking is all the same
00:24:34It's logical
00:24:35I'm looking at your face and I see you don't understand
00:24:39Oh, no, no, I get that cooking has to be logical, but...
00:24:43Love?
00:24:44Okay, I will use myself as an example
00:24:47Tyler, I already know the woman I would fall in love with
00:24:50How can you know that?
00:24:52Logic
00:24:53I know it will be someone who helped me raise our children to speak Italian
00:24:57Who wants to live where I live
00:24:59And love cooking as much as I do
00:25:01So we can share our same passion
00:25:03Last one
00:25:04Last one
00:25:05Okay, but what about...
00:25:08You know, attraction?
00:25:09Ah...
00:25:10You want una bella senorina, of course
00:25:13And not every bella senorina is the right bella senorina for you
00:25:18So you need logic
00:25:20Wow, I haven't even thought about what I want
00:25:24Well?
00:25:25We're back!
00:25:29We brought enough stuff to deck the halls
00:25:32Oi
00:25:33Not to mention the dining room
00:25:35Entry way
00:25:36Entry way
00:25:37And even...
00:25:41Ew!
00:25:44Mmm, that smells delicious
00:25:47And we are starving
00:25:49Good
00:25:50Any more seeds?
00:25:51It's almost finished
00:26:00Is that the mystery sauce?
00:26:03Did you see what he put in it?
00:26:05Oh, there was some...
00:26:06There was some, uh, green stuff
00:26:08And some chopped stuff
00:26:10And, uh, some other stuff
00:26:13Maybe right out of the pan
00:26:15And I'll get the mystery
00:26:16Ah, ah, ah, ah
00:26:20It's gruesy
00:26:38Mmm
00:26:39A little bit sweet
00:26:43And a little bit tangy
00:26:46And just a tiny bit bitter
00:26:48But in a good way
00:26:49Like...
00:26:51Ginger
00:26:52The mystery ingredient is ginger, right?
00:26:54Tell me I'm right
00:26:56Or maybe...
00:26:57Time?
00:26:58I told you
00:27:00Or maybe a mystery
00:27:05What?
00:27:07It doesn't have time but it needs it, right?
00:27:08Eccolo qua
00:27:09My compliment to the Pyramaniac
00:27:13How could you give me advice
00:27:14On the pompieri
00:27:15The-the firefighter
00:27:16They must put their boots on
00:27:17When you come near an oven
00:27:18Mmm?
00:27:19Okay, okay
00:27:21I'm cooking challenged
00:27:23But when I was a little girl
00:27:24Olivia used to make me taste everything
00:27:26As she went along
00:27:27Oh
00:27:28I actually have a pretty good palate
00:27:33This is delicious
00:27:34It would be better
00:27:35If I had all the old oliva di cedoni
00:27:37It's an olive oil
00:27:38It's an olive oil
00:27:39We make in Parma
00:27:40Next to where I come from
00:27:42I looked for it everywhere
00:27:43I cannot find it
00:27:46Ah, ah, ah, ah
00:27:47Mamma mia
00:27:48Basta
00:27:49I still think the mystery ingredient is ginger
00:27:52I still think the mystery ingredient is ginger
00:27:55Turmeric
00:28:02I don't know much about kitchens
00:28:04But I know that's not good
00:28:06That's not good
00:28:07Yeah, the plumbing is old
00:28:08You know
00:28:09You need an expert touch, huh?
00:28:10Ah
00:28:27Expert, huh?
00:28:28Here, let me
00:28:29Let me
00:28:54It's probably just one little pipe
00:28:55One little pipe
00:29:12Everything's gonna be fine
00:29:16Everything's gonna be fine
00:29:18It can't be all the plumbing
00:29:19Why not?
00:29:21Um
00:29:23Because it's Christmas?
00:29:27No water in the ladies room
00:29:28Or the men's
00:29:29Que casino
00:29:30We cannot open a restaurant without running water
00:29:33Problems are just opportunities in disguise
00:29:35No
00:29:36Basta
00:29:37The feast of Natale
00:29:38Is off
00:29:49Any chance they'll finish before Christmas?
00:29:52Okay, thank you
00:29:53Yeah
00:29:54Yeah, Merry Christmas
00:30:02Come on, we got this
00:30:03This is
00:30:04This is
00:30:05Just a chance to show our awesomeness
00:30:08And we are pretty dang awesome
00:30:09Am I right?
00:30:11Hello?
00:30:16I brought that tree skirt you wanted
00:30:18Do you know you still have lasagna on the back stoop?
00:30:21Uh, thank you
00:30:23I am waiting until spring
00:30:24So I can give it a proper burial
00:30:26You're the only person I know that uses a smoke alarm
00:30:29Instead of an egg timer
00:30:31Well, good thing we have Chef Stefano
00:30:33Very good
00:30:34Actually, I was wondering if I could scrounge an invitation
00:30:36To the festive feast
00:30:37If you have room
00:30:39Of course, you are more than welcome to join us
00:30:41Thank you
00:30:42That pasta the other day
00:30:44It may be that handsome is as handsome does
00:30:46But that handsome does very well in the kitchen
00:30:52So, you finally noticed, huh?
00:30:55Yeah, in the kitchen
00:30:57Mrs. Meyers, you are terrible
00:31:00Besides, I think he's interested in Ariella
00:31:03The caroler from Italy
00:31:05They seem to have a lot in common
00:31:07Oh
00:31:08And once Olivia comes back
00:31:09I'm gonna go back to the city
00:31:12That's 23 for dinner
00:31:14We invited the stranded carolers
00:31:16And Miles Croker too, of course
00:31:18Are you sure that's a good idea?
00:31:21Yeah, one taste of Stefano's mystery sauce
00:31:23And he is sure to get a rave review
00:31:26Miles Croker has never given any restaurant a rave review
00:31:29Ever
00:31:31Oh
00:31:32The last restaurants he panned
00:31:33Well
00:31:34What?
00:31:35Closed within a couple of months
00:31:38Oh
00:31:40So, what you're saying is if we fail
00:31:43We risk totally destroying Olivia's dream
00:31:47I'm afraid so
00:31:48Words are out in full force
00:32:00I'm really glad you agreed we need to have a Christmas tree
00:32:04We have Christmas tree in Italy too, you know?
00:32:07I know
00:32:09I saw the Pinterest
00:32:11This is it, uh
00:32:13This is our tree
00:32:15I don't know
00:32:17I don't know
00:32:19I do know
00:32:21It's the correct height, the correct amount around
00:32:24The correct amount of branches
00:32:26There's a correct number of branches?
00:32:30Yes
00:32:31Not so many
00:32:32There's not enough space for decoration
00:32:35But, uh, enough space for, uh
00:32:37To be like, uh, commercitice
00:32:39To be
00:32:41Bushy
00:32:43Not that it's a tree, not a bush
00:32:46Just doesn't feel right
00:32:50It just doesn't feel right
00:32:52Feel?
00:32:54What does feel has to do with this?
00:32:56It's all about logic, like life, uh, cooking, like love
00:33:02Life is not about logic, it's about
00:33:05Oh, what about this one?
00:33:08Well, why this one?
00:33:11I don't know, my instincts just tell me
00:33:14This is the right tree
00:33:16Yeah, I think your instincts, uh, are mistaken
00:33:19Your instincts are never wrong
00:33:21Oh
00:33:23Is that right?
00:33:29Oh
00:33:31Oh, hmm
00:33:33Wait, did you just say you think you can rely on logic for love?
00:33:36Of course
00:33:37Of course
00:33:40What else?
00:33:42Instincts
00:33:43Intuition
00:33:45That little voice inside you that says
00:33:48You're at the perfect place at the perfect time
00:33:51And when that has happened to you?
00:33:56Well, it hasn't happened
00:33:58Not yet, but it will
00:34:03What? It's not like logic's really worked out so well for you, either
00:34:08It's really hard to see under here
00:34:14It's really hard to see under here
00:34:16Um, well, let me get some lights, maybe that'll help
00:34:24Tyler, Tyler, are you okay?
00:34:26Tyler, are you okay?
00:34:28Tyler, are you hurt?
00:34:30Are you all chopped up like potato peelings?
00:34:33Are you hurt? Are you chopped up?
00:34:34Like
00:34:35No, but I might be deaf from here on out
00:34:38If you heard me ask the question, how can you be deaf?
00:34:42What's that?
00:34:43What's that? What's that ringing?
00:34:44Never mind the ringing
00:34:46What about the plumbing?
00:34:47Huh? What?
00:34:48What?
00:34:49What drumming?
00:34:50Plumbing, not drumming
00:34:51Oh, right
00:34:54Look, I'm sorry, BB, I can't do this
00:34:57Tell Miss Natalie I tried, but I guess they're gonna have to cancel the feast of Natale
00:35:03Sorry, I'll leave
00:35:05Okay, hold up
00:35:08You can't give up
00:35:10Don't you see? This is a chance to prove your...awesomeness
00:35:14Awesomeness
00:35:15Awesomeness? I...I don't even know if I have any...awesomeness
00:35:21Well, here's your chance to find out
00:35:24It's time to prove your awesomeness, Tyler
00:35:27You can do this
00:35:29Okay
00:35:30All right, you stand over there
00:35:31Okay
00:35:33Why?
00:35:34Because if I do find my awesomeness, I want to make sure it doesn't get shredded in the garbage disposal
00:35:38No! Yes!
00:35:52Now...
00:35:53Yes!
00:35:56What if your intuition never picks a logical tree?
00:36:01What if your logic never picks a tree that feels right?
00:36:05What if intuition is broken?
00:36:06What if your logic is just...stupid?
00:36:13Have you thought about just buying two trees?
00:36:17Then you can both be right and happy
00:36:21We do have room for it
00:36:24And we don't have all this, so yes, thank you
00:36:27Okay, two trees it is
00:36:29Just call it when you see the one you want
00:36:32Okay, you too
00:36:33Okay
00:36:35Mine!
00:36:39Natalie, hi, how are you?
00:36:41Hey, Olivia, um, how's the Roman snow blow?
00:36:45Yeah, it's still blowing
00:36:47Oh!
00:36:51Ah, what's wrong? Did your plan for Christmas with your friends fall through?
00:36:55It, uh, hasn't gone exactly according to plan
00:36:59Um...
00:37:01Que casino!
00:37:02I actually kind of have a strange question for you
00:37:04Do you know where I could get a bottle of Olio de Liva di Scadoni?
00:37:07Well, that is a rare kind of olive oil
00:37:10You are not going to try to cook, are you?
00:37:14No, um, I just thought it would make a nice gift for...
00:37:18Um, for a friend
00:37:20Oh, you know it comes from Parma, the same region as Shefferaldi
00:37:23Oh! I had no idea
00:37:25Um, do you know where I can find it in the state?
00:37:27No, I do not know of any place outside of Italy
00:37:30I'm so sorry
00:37:31Oh
00:37:33That's okay
00:37:34Thanks anyway, Olivia
00:37:36Um...
00:37:38I have to go
00:37:40I miss you
00:37:41Merry Christmas
00:37:42I miss you too
00:37:43Merry Christmas
00:37:50Hey
00:37:51Okay
00:37:53Keys please
00:37:54Thanks
00:37:57Here we go
00:37:58Moment of truth
00:38:15So much for my awesomeness
00:38:17No, Tyler, you've been great
00:38:19You really have
00:38:21I mean...
00:38:22You know so much more than you thought you did
00:38:25You think?
00:38:27You've been great too, baby
00:38:29I never would have thought about checking with the city about the main line
00:38:33Thanks
00:38:34But...
00:38:36Yeah
00:38:38So, I guess I'll...
00:38:40I'll see you back at school in January
00:38:43Yeah
00:38:45January
00:38:48Bye
00:38:52Wait
00:38:53Wait
00:38:55Did we remember to turn the sink's off valve back on?
00:38:59Yes! Yes!
00:39:00No, hold on
00:39:01Okay
00:39:03Alright, here we go
00:39:04Yes!
00:39:05Yes! Yes! Yes!
00:39:06Yes!
00:39:07Yes!
00:39:08Yes!
00:39:09Yes!
00:39:11Yes! Yes!
00:39:12Oh!
00:39:14Yes! Yes!
00:39:15Oh!
00:39:17Yes!
00:39:18Just leave it there
00:39:21Just leave it there.
00:39:27What is that?
00:39:30I think that's the sound of awesomeness.
00:39:37Is that good?
00:39:38Very good.
00:39:42Is there a cooler in the house?
00:39:44Oh, is Natalie Tyler got the water back on?
00:39:46Yeah, and Bebe helped. She was...
00:39:48Awesomeness.
00:39:50Yeah.
00:39:51Good, now we start on the pasta.
00:39:52Sure, yeah, I'm ready to do anything.
00:39:54Oh, Tyler, you ready to go home and shower? Not work in the kitchen, huh?
00:39:57Oh, yeah, well, I guess, yeah, I'm sort of...
00:40:00Me too.
00:40:01Yeah, you've done enough for now.
00:40:03Natalie will help me with the pasta.
00:40:07Me?
00:40:09You do remember what happened the last time I tried to cook, right?
00:40:13No way, Natalie. You're not cooking.
00:40:16You're just making the tortellinis.
00:40:18I'll be the one cooking them.
00:40:20Oh.
00:40:21Okay, great.
00:40:22In my country, Natalie, the children do this all the time.
00:40:27At least a child, si.
00:40:28Si.
00:40:29I mean, yes.
00:40:30A bene.
00:40:31Crack the egg into the flour.
00:40:36Oops.
00:40:38Too hard.
00:40:39Uh, let me try it.
00:40:40Si.
00:40:41Si, si, si, si.
00:40:44Another one.
00:40:45Let me try that again.
00:40:53Bellissimo.
00:40:54Oops.
00:40:59Perfecto.
00:41:00Now.
00:41:01You need to, uh, beat the egg up like you're making scrambled eggs.
00:41:07But incorporating the flour slowly.
00:41:10Like this.
00:41:13Oh.
00:41:14Sure.
00:41:15You never make scrambled eggs?
00:41:28Yes.
00:41:29I have not.
00:41:32How do you not starve to death in that city of yours?
00:41:36Grubhub.
00:41:39The pizza delivery boy.
00:41:40Aye, aye, aye.
00:41:43You know, if everybody stayed home and cooked every night, nobody would need to go to a restaurant.
00:41:49Yeah, Eggie's getting away.
00:41:51Oh!
00:41:53Hold on, Eggie's.
00:41:54Back here.
00:41:56Back to your volcano.
00:41:59Don't you want to be part of the best pasta the world's ever known?
00:42:05Good.
00:42:06Well, now that our pasta is mixed.
00:42:09We need to knead it.
00:42:10It's a very good workout.
00:42:11My, my, my nonna, my grandmother.
00:42:14She had arms like, uh, like a twirls on an egg.
00:42:17Oh.
00:42:18Not really sure if that's a ringing endorsement or not.
00:42:36No, you, you have to lean into it, uh.
00:42:51Oh.
00:42:56You need to feel a change, eh?
00:42:57Under your hands.
00:43:06I feel... something.
00:43:24Buongiorno!
00:43:26Anyone here?
00:43:27Here.
00:43:28Uh, yeah, we're over here.
00:43:30Ciao, bello.
00:43:31Ciao.
00:43:33How are you?
00:43:34How are you?
00:43:35Good, good.
00:43:36The carolers and I just wanted to drop off a bit of wine.
00:43:39Not for the feast of Natale, of course, but just an early grazie for everything you are doing for us.
00:43:46Please.
00:43:47Very thoughtful of you.
00:43:49Yes, very, very thoughtful of all of the carolers.
00:43:54Please, thank them for us.
00:43:57Of course.
00:43:59And, uh, what's all this?
00:44:02Oh, and my pasta!
00:44:03I used to make pasta with mia nonna every Natale.
00:44:07It, uh, was my favorite part.
00:44:10But, uh, I can help.
00:44:13Oh, you cook?
00:44:15Of course.
00:44:16I love to cook.
00:44:19But you're our guest.
00:44:21We couldn't possibly make you work in the kitchen.
00:44:25Make me? No, I want to.
00:44:26We'd love your help.
00:44:28Let me get you an apron.
00:44:29Attimo.
00:44:30Andiamo.
00:44:31Ok.
00:44:32Great.
00:44:35Ok.
00:44:36Ho una storia per te.
00:44:38Mi ricordo quando, dopo pranzo, ci riunivamo in soggiorno per giocare a dombola.
00:44:43Ah, dombola.
00:44:45Con tutti i zii e le zii per ore, ore, ore.
00:44:49Era così divertente.
00:44:51Era una cosa che ci facevamo ogni anno, tipo una tradizione.
00:44:56Ma giocavi mai a tombola con la tua famiglia?
00:44:59No, con il papa è sempre lavoro, lavoro, lavoro.
00:45:01Lavori sempre?
00:45:03Ma...
00:45:05Non vedi tuo padre mai? Dov'è?
00:45:08No, vive in America.
00:45:10E lui è ancora a Parma?
00:45:12Sì, in Parma.
00:45:13Che triste.
00:45:14Anche io mi manca la tua, la mia famiglia.
00:45:17Mh.
00:45:18Era così divertente.
00:45:19E l'ho messo.
00:45:40Sì.
00:45:41No, c'è?
00:45:42Ci sono forata.
00:45:43Ok, sono in preparazione.
00:45:44Um, Chef Stefano, how would you come up with your logical list of qualities you're looking
00:45:54for in a woman?
00:45:55Well, I thought about it and she made sense to me.
00:45:58Why?
00:45:59What's the matter?
00:46:00Oh, nothing.
00:46:01Nothing.
00:46:02I just...
00:46:03I guess I just haven't done enough thinking.
00:46:05Andiamo.
00:46:06Baked brie with olive chipotle, ministro amiratata, ricotta and spinach tortellini, braised
00:46:13beef and barula wine sauce and something called panettone?
00:46:19Sounds wonderful.
00:46:20But I'm afraid Stefano's Molto Italiano menu isn't going to trigger any warm American fuzzies.
00:46:28I make these really good cookie bars.
00:46:30Well, it's a start.
00:46:32I know.
00:46:33We can make a big batch of cookies and then take them to trade at the town Christmas cookie
00:46:36swap this afternoon.
00:46:38Baby.
00:46:39You just baked my day.
00:46:40Ooh, but we're going to have to hurry if we'll be ready on time.
00:46:45Ooh, but we're going to have to hurry if we'll be ready on time.
00:46:52Yeah.
00:46:53Whale is so chainsaw.
00:46:54Let's go.
00:46:55So cool.
00:46:56It's fun.
00:46:57Let's go.
00:46:58Let's go.
00:46:59Bye-bye.
00:47:00Bye-bye.
00:47:01Bye-bye.
00:47:02I'm always so shizy.
00:47:03Bye-bye.
00:47:12Bye-bye.
00:47:13Bye-bye.
00:47:15Bye-bye.
00:47:17Bye-bye.
00:47:18Bye-bye.
00:47:19Bye-bye.
00:47:21Okay.
00:47:23Everywhere.
00:47:30That's pretty nice.
00:47:32Good job.
00:47:33Alright, to the fridge.
00:47:39Can we just wait 30 minutes while it sets?
00:47:41You better set a timer.
00:47:43Can't rely on the smoke alarm for this one.
00:47:51So, I ordered all the place cards and the menu cards.
00:47:56I know you wanted to write them up by hand,
00:47:58but until Chef Stefano finalizes the menu...
00:48:04Miss Natalie?
00:48:05It's like Olio de Liva de Scudoni, some kind of...
00:48:11Miss Natalie!
00:48:12Culinary food myth, like free-range foie gras or guilt-free ice cream.
00:48:17Miss Natalie!
00:48:18Oh, I'm sorry, what?
00:48:20It's time.
00:48:25Hurry, we're gonna be late for the swap.
00:48:35Okay, go, go, go! Hats, coats, gloves, it's cold!
00:48:42The secret to a clean kitchen is simple.
00:48:44Don't cook, ever.
00:48:50What?
00:48:51What?
00:48:52What?
00:48:53Oh, sorry.
00:48:54What happened?
00:48:55What?
00:48:56I can't see.
00:48:57Holy cow!
00:48:58That's what I said.
00:48:59Not exactly.
00:49:00But you get the idea.
00:49:01What happened?
00:49:02There's only one thing I can think of that can cause so much damage to a kitchen in so short of a time.
00:49:11Rabid badgers?
00:49:12Rabid badgers.
00:49:13Natalie!
00:49:14Is that...
00:49:15Oh, yeah.
00:49:16Yeah, that makes sense.
00:49:17But look, at least the smoke alarm isn't going off yet.
00:49:20This feast of Natalie's not gonna work.
00:49:21Why do you say that?
00:49:22Because we used up our Christmas miracle when Natalie didn't burn the whole place down.
00:49:29Are we late to hear you guys?
00:49:30I know.
00:49:31We're late at it.
00:49:32What are these animals?
00:49:33That's because you're a one snack cookie.
00:49:34Mmm.
00:49:35Mmm.
00:49:36Mmm.
00:49:37I'm late to hear you guys.
00:49:38I know.
00:49:39We're late at it.
00:49:40That's because you're a one snack cookie.
00:49:41Mmm.
00:49:42Mmm.
00:49:43Mmm.
00:49:44Mmm.
00:49:45Mmm.
00:49:46Mmm.
00:49:47Mmm.
00:49:48Mmm.
00:49:49Mmm.
00:49:50Mmm.
00:49:51Mmm.
00:49:52Mmm.
00:49:53Mmm.
00:49:54Mmm.
00:49:55Mmm.
00:49:56Mmm.
00:49:57Mmm.
00:49:58Mmm.
00:49:59Mmm.
00:50:00Mmm.
00:50:01Mmm.
00:50:02Mmm.
00:50:03Mmm.
00:50:04Mmm.
00:50:11You're gonna make your signs.
00:50:12Looks cool.
00:50:13Mmm.
00:50:14Mmm.
00:50:15Mmm.
00:50:16Mmm.
00:50:17Mmm.
00:50:18Ooh.
00:50:20Good night, festoons.
00:50:21Looks cool.
00:50:23Mmm.
00:50:24Mmm.
00:50:25Mmm.
00:50:26Baby, did we forget to turn the oven off or something?
00:50:29We never turned it on.
00:50:31Mmm.
00:50:32Mm.
00:50:33Maybe we forgot this idea.
00:50:35I didn't forget. We ran out of time.
00:50:37What is this? What is this?
00:50:39This cooking, huh? What is this?
00:50:43I'm sorry.
00:50:45I think we may have left the kitchen a little...
00:50:49not clean.
00:50:51Not clean?
00:50:53I come inside, and I take a look, and I say...
00:50:55and I...
00:50:57What I say? What I...
00:50:59Que casino?
00:51:01Gran Casino.
00:51:03Gantico Casino.
00:51:05Oh, grand, like grand.
00:51:07A big mess?
00:51:09Yes, a big mess.
00:51:11We have only one left. There's so much to do,
00:51:13and you run off for this.
00:51:15Why don't you take what we have
00:51:17and get back to the restaurant
00:51:19and get started on the cleanup?
00:51:21Explain to me. Yeah, I'll help.
00:51:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:51:25It wasn't your mess.
00:51:27No, no, I want to help.
00:51:29You do?
00:51:30Yeah, Chef's almost scares me when he's like this.
00:51:32I-I-I-I don't even know what these cookies are.
00:51:34Oh!
00:51:36Well, these are shortbreads
00:51:38with a little, um,
00:51:40icing drizzle,
00:51:42and this little gingerbread man.
00:51:44Little gingerbread man.
00:51:46Can't catch me? I'm the gingerbread man.
00:51:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:50No, no, no, no, no.
00:51:52This is the Italian feast of Natale,
00:51:54not the American feast of cookie.
00:51:56You understand?
00:51:58Mm-hmm.
00:51:59We will do panettone
00:52:00made by my family recipe.
00:52:02Capisce?
00:52:04And the cookies?
00:52:06I've read all Myles' reviews.
00:52:08I think he would really like...
00:52:09Natalie! Stefano!
00:52:11Congratulations, eh?
00:52:12Speak of the devil.
00:52:13Hello!
00:52:14Mariela.
00:52:15Ciao, Stefano.
00:52:16Ciao.
00:52:17Natalie, ciao!
00:52:18Ciao!
00:52:19Ciao!
00:52:23Everybody is so excited
00:52:25and looking forward to your feast of Natale.
00:52:27Uh-huh.
00:52:28So are we.
00:52:29We, uh, we're just gonna head back there
00:52:31and get some things ready.
00:52:32We win it all to be just perfect.
00:52:34Well, literally,
00:52:35you're coming to the Christmas festival.
00:52:36It's about to start.
00:52:37Oh, no, no, no.
00:52:38There's so much to do.
00:52:39So much to do.
00:52:40Sorry, yeah.
00:52:41More than ever.
00:52:42But it's our first annual Christmas festival.
00:52:44You must come.
00:52:45We need everyone to make it a success.
00:52:47I organize it myself.
00:52:51We'll be there.
00:52:53With bells on.
00:52:54Like jingle bells.
00:52:55Oh.
00:52:56Um, cool.
00:52:57Uh, we'll just go get ready now.
00:53:00See you soon.
00:53:01See you soon.
00:53:02See you soon.
00:53:12See you soon.
00:53:32centres
00:53:34Oh, you're here!
00:53:53I am just the thing.
00:53:55It's this way.
00:53:57Oh, oh, the first picture.
00:53:59Oh.
00:53:59All right, here we go.
00:54:04Here we go.
00:54:04Have to keep the line moving.
00:54:22Can I see my son?
00:54:24Oh, yeah, sure.
00:54:28Thanks.
00:54:29You want to go first?
00:54:31Sure.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33Okay.
00:54:36Oh, there, guy.
00:54:38Here, let me try.
00:54:44It's okay.
00:54:51Do you feel okay?
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:56How do I look like I'm feeling?
00:54:57I don't know, but nothing good.
00:55:14So, uh, have you seen any good kung fu movies lately?
00:55:20Um, no.
00:55:24Why?
00:55:26Just curious.
00:55:31What about baseball games?
00:55:34In December.
00:55:36At least you know they don't play baseball in the winter.
00:55:37Yeah, well, that's about all I know, so...
00:55:40Yeah, I forgot to ask, um, about what you do in the city, uh, what is your job?
00:55:50Oh, I'm, um, Jacqueline of all trades.
00:55:55I wash and groom dogs and design custom wreath, do specialty gift shopping, plan events and parties, and about a hundred other things.
00:56:04Why do you do so many things?
00:56:06Why don't you just do one thing?
00:56:09I don't know.
00:56:10I guess I just never found the right thing, and so I kept trying new things.
00:56:16When I was three years old, my Zio Lorenzo put a knife in my hand, and...
00:56:20And I knew I would be a chef.
00:56:24That is all I ever want to be.
00:56:26Your Zio Lorenzo gave a butcher's knife to a three-year-old?
00:56:31No, I ladle.
00:56:32Maybe I exaggerated a little bit, huh?
00:56:35Maybe you're exaggerating now.
00:56:39Maybe you're afraid, huh?
00:56:43I'm not scared of anything.
00:56:48Except perhaps of the cold, yes?
00:56:50It's not that way.
00:56:54No, you're cold.
00:57:20What's that?
00:57:33It's what?
00:57:34The piece of paper you keep checking.
00:57:36What?
00:57:37What piece of paper?
00:57:39The one in your pocket.
00:57:44Catch!
00:57:45No, baby, baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:57:48Oh, what is it?
00:57:49A letter to Santa?
00:57:50Just don't, just don't, just don't.
00:57:51Just, I can't, can you give it back to me, please?
00:57:54Baby?
00:57:54Baby?
00:57:54What is this?
00:58:09My smile, awesomeness, like space ball?
00:58:14What is this, like a list of things I'm supposed to be like you?
00:58:21No, it's...
00:58:23I'm not hardly any of these things.
00:58:26Baby, it's not like that.
00:58:27It's just...
00:58:28I was just...
00:58:30I was just trying to be logical, that's all.
00:58:33Baby, what's the matter?
00:58:57What happened?
00:58:58Are you okay?
00:58:58It's Tyler.
00:59:00He's being really logical.
00:59:01I can't hear you.
00:59:02Okay, let's go have some cocoa.
00:59:04You can tell me about it.
00:59:07I know, too.
00:59:19Why don't you start at the beginning?
00:59:22We're at the Santa's ring booth,
00:59:24and I was trying to figure out how Tyler felt about me.
00:59:29He started asking all these stupid questions
00:59:31about kung fu and baseball and took him stupid list.
00:59:39He said he was just trying to be logical,
00:59:41and then he can't possibly like me.
00:59:44I don't like any of the things on this stupid list.
00:59:48Especially not the...
00:59:49nice smile part.
00:59:53Baby, hey.
00:59:57Your smile is lovely.
01:00:00Just how it is, I promise.
01:00:03What could give Tyler such a silly idea like this?
01:00:08Speaks Italian.
01:00:10Lives in the same place.
01:00:12Not a sticker.
01:00:12You okay?
01:00:16You okay?
01:00:18Yeah.
01:00:19Of course.
01:00:19Um, what happened next?
01:00:23Well, I decided my intuition was telling me Tyler is a jerk,
01:00:27and I left.
01:00:32But maybe you should just sleep on it.
01:00:35You know?
01:00:36Give your intuition some time to think it over.
01:00:39Yeah, I think I'll do that.
01:00:41Christmas is exhausting.
01:00:51Is everything okay?
01:00:53You know, I think I'm just going to go back to the restaurant.
01:00:55But, but, uh, the festival is still going, Natalie.
01:01:01Stefano, you've arrived at the time.
01:01:03Si.
01:01:03And Natalie is here, too.
01:01:07We are thinking, uh, we're gonna go back.
01:01:09It's there's so much to do.
01:01:10Oh, no, you don't have to go, too.
01:01:12You can stay.
01:01:12I'm sure you want to.
01:01:14But I'll let you do all the work now.
01:01:17What if you try to cook and burn the entire place down to the ground?
01:01:20Oh, no.
01:01:24I don't know.
01:01:25I don't know.
01:01:25It's time to sing.
01:01:26You must come.
01:01:27You need to come.
01:01:41Oh, Sparky.
01:01:42Sorry.
01:01:44Sorry, Sparky.
01:01:45See you, see you, see you.
01:01:51Yes.
01:01:51Yes.
01:01:52Yes.
01:02:00Angels we have heard on high
01:02:04Sweetly singing o'er the plains
01:02:08And the mountains in reply
01:02:12Echoing the joyous strains
01:02:16Gloria
01:02:24In excelsis Deo
01:02:29Gloria
01:02:33In excelsis Deo
01:02:41Nathalie
01:02:48Where you going?
01:02:50Home.
01:02:51Home.
01:02:52The festival just started it.
01:02:55You don't like it.
01:02:57Look, can I ask you something?
01:02:59Can we just keep things strictly business between the two of us?
01:03:05Strictly business.
01:03:07I know something is wrong, I can tell.
01:03:09There's a word for it.
01:03:12A word that is not a word.
01:03:15You are?
01:03:17Hey.
01:03:18A sport?
01:03:21Henry.
01:03:22You need to eat and Sparky too.
01:03:25I will cook for the both of you.
01:03:28Let's go.
01:03:28No, listen, I said I just want to keep things strictly business.
01:03:32How?
01:03:33How strictly business?
01:03:35Business is food.
01:03:37Food is business for me.
01:03:39Is it not strictly business?
01:03:41The thing is, I don't know if we're really ready to be a business.
01:03:45I mean, I don't know if we're really ready to do a big feast of Nathalie.
01:03:49Not for this many people, and not for Miles, who's never given a rave restaurant of you in his entire life.
01:03:54He hasn't.
01:03:56Not ever.
01:03:57No.
01:03:58And I read all of them.
01:04:01And worse, every place he pans, it shuts down.
01:04:06Nathalie, I put every bit of money I have in peso di parma.
01:04:09I didn't know that.
01:04:11And if you close, Nathalie, it's worse.
01:04:13I cannot stay in America.
01:04:15I have to go back to Italy.
01:04:17See, we can't do this to you.
01:04:20Or to Cousin Olivia.
01:04:21We can't ruin your dreams before they've even begun.
01:04:24You think my food is not good enough, huh?
01:04:25That's not what I'm saying.
01:04:26I just, we don't have the time.
01:04:28This is why you don't want to come to eat now.
01:04:30It's not about that.
01:04:31I just don't.
01:04:31Nathalie.
01:04:32What?
01:04:33If my food is not good enough for you,
01:04:35certo is not good enough for anybody.
01:04:37Anybody.
01:04:39The feast of Nathalie, Nathalie, is off.
01:04:42Fine.
01:04:44Fine.
01:04:46Fine.
01:04:48It's off.
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:50God, stupid.
01:04:51Come on, Sarki.
01:04:54Come on.
01:05:07Come on, Sarki.
01:05:08Come on, Sarki.

01:05:19Come on.
01:05:20Come on.
01:05:21Come on.
01:05:21Come on.
01:05:22Come on.
01:05:23Come on.
01:05:24Come on.
01:05:25Come on.
01:05:26Come on.
01:05:27Come on.
01:05:28Come on.
01:05:29Come on.
01:06:00Oh, Natalie, what are you doing here?
01:06:15Mr. Croker, there's something I need to tell you and, um, I thought I should probably say
01:06:22it in person.
01:06:25I'm very sorry and please don't hold this against my cousin Olivia or Stefano.
01:06:30But, um, uh, uh, what's wrong?
01:06:42Has something happened?
01:06:43Stefano, you didn't have to come.
01:06:45I can take care of this myself.
01:06:46This is not only you because I don't need a restaurant, it's also mine.
01:06:51Has someone had bad news?
01:06:56Oh, no, nothing like that.
01:06:59They're just missing their friends and family because it's Christmas.
01:07:04I thought singing might cheer them up, but, uh, it's made things worse.
01:07:10Cassie has never spent a Christmas away from her children before.
01:07:14Oh, no, this is supposed to be Charlie's first Christmas with his new fiancée.
01:07:19Oh, that's so sad.
01:07:22There'll be other Christmases, but right now it's hard for them all to be far away from home.
01:07:30But everyone is looking forward to your Christmas meal tomorrow.
01:07:34Now, what is it you wanted to tell me?
01:07:39Could you excuse us just one minute?
01:07:42I feel terrible.
01:07:44I feel terrible.
01:07:45Yeah, me too.
01:07:46I'm just thinking of God.
01:07:47I wanted to do everything my own way, just for the way of review.
01:07:50But now, look at this.
01:07:51I wanted to show Olivia how much her help and support meant to me,
01:07:54and I guess I thought I could only do that if everything was perfect.
01:07:57I think I kind of lost sight that it's Christmas.
01:08:00Yeah, yeah, it's Christmas.
01:08:02Peace on Earth.
01:08:03And in the kitchen.
01:08:06Yes, and there too.
01:08:08Well, what if we just go through with it?
01:08:10What if we don't worry about if it's perfect or what the review says?
01:08:13What if we just do it to feed a bunch of sad people that have nowhere else to go on Christmas?
01:08:19Yes.
01:08:21Yes.
01:08:21Let's do it for the people.
01:08:24We need to be happy.
01:08:25It is Christmas.
01:08:27Okay.
01:08:28Okay.
01:08:28Let's do it.
01:08:33Natalie, Stefano, you had something to tell us?
01:08:38Yeah, just that the Feast of Natale is at one, and to bring your appetites, it's...
01:08:43It's going to be awesomeness.
01:08:47Well, Christmas is sooner than you think.
01:08:52Baby, Christmas is sooner, so much sooner than you think.
01:09:03Yeah, baby, it will be here in a blink.
01:09:12Well, Christmas is sooner than you think.
01:09:17Well, Christmas is sooner, so much sooner than you think.
01:09:45Yeah, baby, it will be here in a blink.
01:10:16So let the snow fall white, so we'll say the stars is white.
01:10:23Let the Christmas spirit ring, and the holes in your fire sting.
01:10:29Hello, Natalie Rogers, travel consult, or, um, events planning, um, actually, Jacqueline of all trades.
01:10:42Just, uh, tell me which one you want.
01:10:44You want to tell me what's got you so despondent with this olive oil?
01:10:45What?
01:10:46What?
01:10:47What?
01:10:48What?
01:10:49I've been looking for it everywhere.
01:10:50Backordered.
01:10:51Until when?
01:10:52July.
01:10:53Oh.
01:10:54Oh.
01:10:55Um.
01:10:56Oh.
01:10:57Oh.
01:10:58Oh.
01:10:59Okay.
01:11:00Thanks anyways.
01:11:01You want to tell me what's got you so despondent with this olive oil?
01:11:06Olivia!
01:11:07Hi.
01:11:08Oh.
01:11:09Oh.
01:11:10Oh.
01:11:11Oh.
01:11:12Oh.
01:11:13Oh.
01:11:14Oh.
01:11:15Oh.
01:11:16Oh.
01:11:17But how?
01:11:18Um.
01:11:19They finally dug roam out from under that avalanche.
01:11:21I got the first flight I could.
01:11:22Why are you here?
01:11:23I thought you were spending Christmas with your friends in the city.
01:11:25I was...
01:11:26but, I dunno, I know how hard you worked, and how much this means to you, so I just....
01:11:32Oh.
01:11:33It's so beautiful.
01:11:35Well, why?
01:11:36It's a long long story.
01:11:39Oh.
01:11:40Is it now?
01:11:41Well, that's good, because I am a long, long listener.
01:11:46Well, even after 22 phone calls and a dozen international emails and millions of hours scouring the internet,
01:11:57I still couldn't find the oleo di lieva di scadoni, so Stefano could have his perfect Christmas.
01:12:05Do you like Stefano?
01:12:08No.
01:12:08I mean, I like him. I don't like like him.
01:12:14He's kind of grumpy sometimes.
01:12:17Oh, so you don't like him?
01:12:21Even if I did, I have to go back to the city.
01:12:25I have life there, and I don't know, I can't stay here.
01:12:30You're jumping again.
01:12:32And what?
01:12:33You do this thing where you leap from job to job, city to city.
01:12:36What are you afraid of?
01:12:39I'm not scared of anything.
01:12:44Falling in love can be scary.
01:12:46Well, it's been a long flight and an even longer day, and I think tomorrow is going to be really, really exciting.
01:12:55Let's go home.
01:12:56I'm so glad you could make it home in time for Christmas.
01:13:00Me too.
01:13:02Oh, and if you see any lasagna in the yard, could you just ignore it?
01:13:07You did try to cook again, didn't you?
01:13:10Uh, yeah.
01:13:12It's good that you reach for the stars.
01:13:15Yeah.
01:13:16It's good that you reach for the stars.
01:13:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13:54Sorry.
01:13:55Sorry.
01:13:57Your terribleness in the kitchen is contagious.
01:14:00Uh, you'll be glad I said something.
01:14:04Merry Christmas.
01:14:07Oh, you should open that now.
01:14:11Merry Christmas to you, too.
01:14:13Oh.
01:14:16You didn't have to do that.
01:14:18Come on.
01:14:19Vera senorina first.
01:14:22You insist.
01:14:26Is this the recipe for the mystery sauce?
01:14:31You're actually giving away the mystery.
01:14:34This way you don't lie awake at night wandering.
01:14:40Rosemary.
01:14:42Of course.
01:14:43How did I not guess that?
01:14:44Maybe when you go back to your city, you can find someone somehow who can cook it for you.
01:14:50Not just the pizza that did a brave boy, huh?
01:14:53Capito?
01:14:54Okay.
01:14:55Your turn.
01:14:57Your turn.
01:14:58Ahem.
01:15:07Un rod oliva di sedoni.
01:15:09Not to me how.
01:15:13Grazie.
01:15:14What's it smell like?
01:15:30Like home.
01:15:31I'm sorry you couldn't be home for Christmas.
01:15:35This is my home now.
01:15:36I still think you could use a pinch of time.
01:15:50Where are the little elves?
01:15:52Tyler was here.
01:15:53He told me like he needed to add something outside.
01:15:54I don't know.
01:15:55Okay.
01:15:56Merry Christmas.
01:15:57Merry Christmas.
01:15:58Yeah.
01:15:59Merry Christmas.
01:16:00Are you guys ready to get to work?
01:16:01Yeah.
01:16:02Sure.
01:16:03Totally ready.
01:16:04Great.
01:16:05Places everybody.
01:16:07Turns out that he likes braces.
01:16:37we bring you the hair andall a little bit.
01:16:39Sorry.
01:16:40Do you see it?
01:16:41Why do you notice it isn't that happy?
01:16:42According to his family, he knows what's all.
01:16:43He belongs to hisraniini plus here.
01:16:47And here we find himengores.
01:16:52I thought he was done with the одну-pertele himself and the other family,
01:17:00Christmas.
01:17:03I think he's have to stop the contrary behavior.
01:17:06They're almost here!
01:17:19Merry Christmas!
01:17:20Ciao, Natalie!
01:17:21Welcome to the restaurant and pesto de parma.
01:17:28Yep, one more.
01:17:30I can take that, no problem.
01:17:32Merry Christmas!
01:17:33Thank you, Merry Christmas.
01:17:34Uh, find a seat.
01:17:38It should be labeled.
01:18:01All right, fair, fair.
01:18:12Ooh!
01:18:23Yeah, let's go!
01:18:24They're almost done with the animal pasta.
01:18:35How's the soup coming along?
01:18:46It's just about, huh?
01:18:48Cold.
01:18:49When do you come visit me?
01:18:54It's just about.
01:19:24Okay, go.
01:19:31That was suspenseful.
01:19:35This is for you.
01:19:37You need to keep up your strength.
01:19:40Cocoa with whipped cream and nutmeg.
01:19:42How did you know my favorite cocoa?
01:19:44I know.
01:19:46I asked your cugina and Olivia.
01:19:48Even with everything else you had to do.
01:19:52Prego.
01:19:54Excuse me.
01:20:10What's so funny?
01:20:11Nothing.
01:20:13Do I have food in my teeth?
01:20:15No, your teeth.
01:20:16No.
01:20:19All right.
01:20:20Can you give me a napkin or something?
01:20:31See.
01:20:32See.
01:20:32Oh, black hair.
01:20:46Oh, and last night, you did.
01:20:48Please try the pasta.
01:20:49It's a family recipe.
01:20:51I can't find it.
01:20:52You do.
01:21:00You do.
01:21:16You do.
01:21:17Ladies and gentlemen, I have been reviewing restaurants for over 20 years.
01:21:42It has been my privilege to dine in some of the finest establishments in this country.
01:21:49And in that time, I have never, not once, tasted a perfect dish.
01:21:58Until now.
01:21:59Bravo to our chef.
01:22:04Bravo to our chef.
01:22:09May I speak with you a moment?
01:22:25Yeah, of course.
01:22:26Alone?
01:22:27Sure.
01:22:28Over here.
01:22:30Everything okay with the meal?
01:22:38Can I get you anything else?
01:22:40Oh, it's the most wonderful feast of Natalia I've ever had.
01:22:44It's not about that.
01:22:45I want to ask you.
01:22:47It is, um, you do not actually work for Petsu di Parma.
01:22:52This is correct?
01:22:53That's right.
01:22:54I have my own business, er, businesses, really, in the city.
01:22:58Good.
01:22:59I am hoping that Stefano will offer me a job once you return to the city.
01:23:06But you're singing.
01:23:08I like Stefano.
01:23:10Oh.
01:23:13I see.
01:23:16You are friends with Stefano?
01:23:19Do you think that maybe he likes me?
01:23:27I don't know.
01:23:32I...
01:23:35I think you're perfect for him.
01:23:38Stefano?
01:23:59Great.
01:24:04Um, maybe you can give Ariella that minute to talk to you?
01:24:11Then you might want to look at this in case you forgot.
01:24:15Forgot.
01:24:16Grazie.
01:24:27Ciao.
01:24:28Ciao.
01:24:29Ciao.
01:24:34I need to change it.
01:24:52Time?
01:24:55Really.
01:24:57You took my advice.
01:24:59Only because, uh...
01:25:01I was right.
01:25:04And...
01:25:06Why are you so sad on Christmas?
01:25:12I'm not sad.
01:25:14I'm happy for you and Ariella.
01:25:17And me and Ariella?
01:25:19Of course.
01:25:20She likes you.
01:25:22You have to know that.
01:25:23Yes.
01:25:24And I told her I was happy to give her a job.
01:25:27I'm gonna have my heart.
01:25:31But she fits right in with your philosophy of logic and love, life, and cooking.
01:25:42She fits your list to a T.
01:25:50No.
01:25:52Nothing.
01:25:54Your philosophy has changed.
01:25:58So what?
01:26:01The panettone!
01:26:09The panettone!
01:26:15What happened?
01:26:19The panettone!
01:26:20I burned the panettone, Mickey Cassino!
01:26:22But a chef never let this food burn.
01:26:25Not for anything.
01:26:28I forgot.
01:26:29How could you forget?
01:26:30What are we going to do about dessert?
01:26:32They're almost finished with the main course.
01:26:36We know.
01:26:42The cookies.
01:26:48Oh!
01:26:48Uh-huh.
01:26:49Lovely.
01:26:51Try the red one.
01:26:52There is a family tradition that we have where you go around the dinner table and saying
01:27:00what the best part of this Christmas is.
01:27:03I guess I'll go first.
01:27:05For me, the best part of this Christmas is being able to get home in time to share it with all
01:27:10of you and my cousin, Natalie, and my friend Stefano, who made all of this possible.
01:27:18The best part of this Christmas has been sharing this meal with all of you all and my elastic
01:27:24waistband, which made all of it possible.
01:27:28Oh, um, my favorite part of this Christmas is, um, I've always kind of been jumping around from
01:27:43job to job, waiting for something to tell me that I finally found the perfect thing.
01:27:49Um, and nothing ever felt quite right.
01:27:53But this year, this Christmas, um, I finally found a place that feels like home.
01:28:02And someone I'd really like to share it with.
01:28:08Yes.
01:28:17Stefano.
01:28:19My favorite part of this Christmas.
01:28:22Well.
01:28:30You, man.
01:28:33Just this.
01:28:38Why are we all watching?
01:28:52Oh, my God.
01:28:53Oh, my God.
01:28:53Oh, my God.
01:28:55Oh, my God.
