00:14Mmm. Nailed it.
00:18Nice. Oh my gosh, so good. Thanks, I will.
00:22My blue lobster. My gourmet tuna. My treasures.
00:27Chef Met Flambe, what's wrong?
00:29You used all my top shelf shit?
00:33Well, why let the primo ingredients go to waste, you know?
00:36We're done. We're like a diet soda at a barbecue, completely empty.
00:40Your cooking skills have surpassed mine.
00:43You could go down the mountain and make some cash.
00:46And there are endless ingredients down there, so you'll really shine.
01:06Watch out, world. Here I come.
01:11Vaughn has the prep for the culinary competition coming.
01:14Everything is on track.
01:28We have to find the culinary guru this time.
01:37Is the culinary guru really on this mountain?
01:43I'm starting to think God cursed me with an eating disorder for all of my gourmet talent.
01:48What?
01:53Hey dude, what are you doing?
01:57I'm starving.
02:07Here. Try this.
02:10I am a renowned food critic.
02:12I would rather starve than eat something that looks like it was wrapped by a raccoon.
02:21Fine. Hope you don't regret it.
02:24What's in it?
02:26Just regular food.
02:28Now, show me.
02:30So now you want to try it?
02:31Pay me first.
02:35I am a legendary food critic.
02:38If I am even thinking about eating that, you should be rolling out the red carpet.
02:43Well, isn't this funny?
02:45The starving foodie.
02:47I never heard of you.
02:48How do I know you're not a fraud?
02:50Same deal.
02:51No cash, no food.
03:03Here you go.
03:05Here you go.
03:16Well, it was a pleasure serving you today.
03:18I hope to see you again soon.
03:23It's just like that day.
03:25Oh!
03:27You're...
03:28You're eating again?
03:30A year ago, I was a skeleton on the street.
03:34And the culinary guru's food saved my life.
03:38Ever since then, I've never tasted anything like it.
03:41She mu...
03:45Bond, we have to find her.
03:47She might have some connection to the culinary guru.
03:48Well...
03:55This jar is perfect for pickles.
03:57Mom, tell me why we brought this clueless country bumpkin home.
04:02You've always complained about your fiancé, that eating disorder guy.
04:07So why don't we have her marry into the Thompson family instead?
04:11So...
04:12If Alex marries Ira...
04:15When he kicks the bucket...
04:16We can snag his fortune through her?
04:19Smart girl.
04:21Just like your mother.
04:22Did you say fortune?
04:23Is my dad finally gonna kick the bucket and leave me some cash?
04:26You heartless brat.
04:28I found a great husband for you.
04:30Get yourself ready to marry him.
04:32No, I came down to make money, not get married.
04:36Someone like you, so poor and provincial, should be grateful that someone wants you.
04:47Oh, come on. Someone as ugly as you could still marry my dad.
04:51I'm far superior to you, so I wouldn't worry about me.
04:55Mom!
04:56Our top priority right now is to secure the marriage where the sickly Thompson are.
05:00I'm here to handle this.
05:07What a handsome guy. Too bad he's on the verge of dying.
05:11Mr. Thompson, what brings you here?
05:13I heard Miss Williams doesn't seem to honor our engagement, so...
05:17Let's just call the wedding off.
05:19Wait, there must be a misunderstanding.
05:23This is Ira, the eldest daughter of the Williams family.
05:27She can represent the Williams family in marrying you.
05:31It's you.
05:35Miss, you know my boss?
05:37Yeah, I caught him on the brink of starvation just near...
05:43One more word and you're toast.
05:46Why can't I say anything? It's no secret you're starving.
05:51So, on this day, he just collapsed right at my...
05:54Miss Williams? You've convinced me. Let's get married.
06:16Hey, Vaughn.
06:18What's with all the cash? Are you buying a farm?
06:20The boss is trying to tackle his eating disorder.
06:23I hired the top medical team, and this is their tip.
06:27Eating disorder, that's easy peasy.
06:30Hand it over and I'll fix it up.
06:32What do you mean?
06:33You can send those doctors home, just give me the money and I'll handle the treatment.
06:44What are you doing?
06:45Alex, I'm gonna be your personal healing chef.
06:51You know nothing about it.
06:54How could you possibly cure me?
06:57You stop messing around and just get out.
07:01Out.
07:08Out.
07:22Well, don't just stand there like a statue.
07:25Let's eat together.
07:26Try my food and you'll no longer look like a contestant on a survival reality TV show.
07:32Like I touched that? It's probably nasty as hell.
07:35Fine by me, just don't come begging for it later.
07:44Yum yum! That is so ridiculously good!
07:53Hurry! Come eat! Irish cooking is out of this world!
08:02No!
08:02No, I'm good. I'm not hungry.
08:05Sri, you've got to hang in there!
08:08Another plate!
08:09No, maybe two!
08:11Thank you for the best meal we've had in our entire lives!
08:15Oh please, it's nothing.
08:20Hey, you pathetic self-important foodie.
08:22I wonder if you're drooling yet.
08:25I wonder if you're drooling yet.
08:42Shit.
08:45I need my liquid nutrients.
08:48Ugh.
08:56Protein shakes are gone.
08:58I'll have to make do with something else.
09:03This looks pretty good.
09:05Weird, I'm actually tempted to try it.
09:10It's not that I want to try it.
09:12I just need to test this girl's culinary skills.
09:21It smells pretty good.
09:22What?
09:26Okay.
09:29Ira?
09:31Are you there?
09:42Don't care, you sneaky cake burglar!
09:46I'm just...case testing.
09:48Well, I'm not stingy. You can have it, but you have to pay the cake tax.
10:00Get off me, you wet towel!
10:08Stuff to the brim. The foodie ate his way into an eating disorder?
10:18Alex, my heart is racing. What's happening to me?
10:25What a strange guy.
10:36Good night, Alex.
10:42She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy.
11:06How dare you take advantage of me like that?
11:08What the heck was that for?
11:13Is it too late to apologize?
11:15Oh, get out!
11:23Are you mad?
11:29We have the lost ancient recipe as a prize. It should be enough to lure out the culinary guru.
11:34Don't worry, sir. We've reached Blake, the culinary guru's top apprentice. He'll be a judge and there might be news
11:42about the chef soon.
11:48Don?
11:49I made a new dish.
11:50Please take it to your boss.
11:52But you have to pay me before he eats it.
11:55Madam, the boss is busy with the culinary guru competition. He definitely won't be able to eat what you've made.
12:01You're still looking for the culinary guru?
12:04Boss is tough to heal. Only the culinary guru can help. We're using the lost ancient recipe as the prize
12:11for the cook-off to lure him in.
12:13The lost ancient recipe? That's a great prize. My mentor will be so happy if I win it.
12:19You have a mentor?
12:23You have a mentor?
12:25Don't worry, Alex. I will cure you and win the cooking competition.
12:29You want to participate in the cooking competition.
12:32All the top chefs from the nation will be there. You should just forget about it. You'll be crushed.
12:38Just let me try. I can do it.
12:43Fine. Just don't be too upset if you lose.
12:47I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary.
12:51Great. I will show you what I can do.
12:56Did you hear? The head apprentice of the culinary guru is coming to judge today.
13:01Yeah. I just came to catch a glimpse of the legendary head apprentice.
13:05I heard Alex is bringing his new wife.
13:08I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with.
13:13Alex's wife?
13:15That girl is just an ugly and unrefined country bumpkin.
13:19I can't believe Alex ended up with some broke and ugly chick.
13:24Look!
13:44I can't believe Ira is so full of herself now.
13:47Should I not have called off the engagement before?
13:50Don't be fooled by their current glamour.
13:53I've heard Alex's condition is worsening.
13:56Otherwise, he wouldn't be playing matchmaker for the culinary guru.
14:01Alex owns a food empire.
14:03If they could find culinary guru and cure him, it would only benefit that hick Ira.
14:08No way. I have to win Alex back.
14:12What's in those jars?
14:15Those are called spices.
14:18They're key to making gourmet dishes.
14:23You know nothing, country bumpkin.
14:26Oh, those are just flashy things.
14:28The most important part of real cuisine is to cook with the heart.
14:32It's how you bring out the ingredients as natural flavors.
14:35Despite her usual, unreliable demeanor, she actually has her own insights about food.
14:41You clueless hick, don't pretend to know anything.
14:45There can only be one big winner tonight.
14:48And that's me.
14:50Ira's right.
14:51A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
14:54I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
14:57Well, hold on. It's not that bad.
15:01You deserve to starve, Alex.
15:03You're more of the possibility of the culinary guru appearing to cure your illness.
15:07I wouldn't even consider taking you back.
15:18Back to Blake!
15:20We all admire you greatly.
15:24Master Blake, still no news of the culinary guru?
15:28My master's gone into seclusion with the junior apprentice and I have not been able to find out where he
15:32is.
15:34Blake!
15:34Hi, Ira. Long time no see.
15:37What are you doing here?
15:38How do you two know each other?
15:42Mr. Blake, the competition's about to start and the host is calling for you.
15:49Alex, don't worry.
15:50I think I'll still find the whereabouts of the culinary guru.
15:58Of course I know him.
16:02What could happen?
16:04People meet every day.
16:07We'll be scared.
16:07Ladies and gentlemen.
16:09Today's winner will receive an ancient Lobz recipe and a Vip of Fancy Pink Diamond from the Thompson family.
16:17The competition officially begins!
16:20There's only one room.
16:21Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson to eat their dish...
16:26wins.
16:30I suggest you back down now before you embarrass yourself even more.
16:35The pressure won't drive her crazy, right?
16:39What's she doing?
16:44I need a big pot.
16:46Um, sure. No problem.
16:49Behind you.
16:57What a unique cooking method.
17:01Ivor, what are you doing?
17:03You're disgracing the Williams family.
17:06I've got more tricks up my sleeve, Eero.
17:10Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself.
17:22Just as I thought.
17:24Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe.
17:29Can't even handle the basics.
17:32Try not to poison the judges with that shit.
17:37What's she doing?
17:39No seasonings?
17:40Hilarious.
17:41She's out for sure.
17:48Awful.
17:49Trash.
17:50This is an assault on my senses.
17:54Could there be a twist?
17:57Is Alex going to taste it?
18:01Up next.
18:03Michelin-starred chef Evelyn Williams.
18:06Will this dish impress?
18:08Alex, you're ready for a treat.
18:18Alex, this dish seems different.
18:21Seems like you're savoring it.
18:27Totally flavorless.
18:28It's like my taste buds were on a vacation.
18:30I'll forget this dish the moment that I'm finished with it.
18:34For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
18:41Dizzy.
18:43Is there no food worthy of a gourmand like me?
18:46Looks like his taste buds are as sharp as ever.
18:50Anyone willing to try this stew stuff?
18:54Chaotic stew.
18:55Zero presentation, zero appeal.
18:58This dish doesn't even warrant a critique.
19:01I really overestimated Ira.
19:04Looks like Alex isn't interested in Ira's dish either.
19:07Will our gourmand go home empty handed?
19:10You guys don't understand.
19:12My stew will be unforgettable after just one bite.
19:21Ira, stop.
19:22You're an embarrassment to the profession.
19:26What's that?
19:27This familiar allure.
19:29I even want to try this ugly dish.
19:32What's happening?
19:34Why am I tempted by this ugly food?
19:37If I eat this, I may lose my reputation as a foodie.
19:41But I really want to try it.
19:53What's happening?
19:58What's happening?
20:00What's happening?
20:00Next time, I'll be able to try it for a bit.
20:00I know how it works.
20:00I love you.
20:01I'll be able to try it from me.
20:02But I love you.
20:03Things are worse.
20:08I love you 3B, Jack.
20:09I love you, I love you 4B.
20:11I love you 3B.
20:12I love you 3B.
20:12Where are your supplements? Are you even taking care of yourself?
20:16I'm fine. It's just a sudden hunger pain. My body couldn't keep up with my appetite.
20:21Don't give me that. With those bloody standards, only a culinary guru could make you eat.
20:28Well, actually, I made that dish.
20:30Who are you?
20:32Grandma, this is Ira Williams. She's my wife now.
20:36Wife? Someone who can actually tolerate your pickiness?
20:40This? Dear, can you really make something Alex will eat?
20:48Well, Alex is as picky as a toddler. I'd finally made something he was willing to try, and then he
20:54fainted.
20:55Alex, you're so thin you could fit under a locked door. You're not looking healthy. Isn't he a handful?
21:02Yeah. All right. One more shot. The stew you made at the competition?
21:08Stay put. I'll cure you.
21:17What? Where's my seasonings?
21:20Easy there, Ira. You can still do it. It will just take a bit more time.
21:26No! The boss is fainted again! Where's the dish ready?
21:31Again? Seriously? One sec.
21:35Strange. Hearing that Alex fainted made me cut my finger.
21:42It's just a little boo-boo. Who needs the culinary guru?
21:45Hang tight, Alex.
21:53I brought you the stew.
21:56Ira, you're late.
21:58Alex had my dish and is back on his feet.
22:02Oh, really? The dish that made him faint at the competition?
22:05I gotta try it.
22:09Alex, you did eat my stuff, right?
22:12Yeah. Thanks for that.
22:15Ira, get over here.
22:17No.
22:17Hey, what happened to your hand?
22:20So you do care, Alex?
22:21No, it's not like that. Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew. I don't want blood in
22:25my food.
22:26Forget that old stew.
22:27I'll take care of you, and I can fix your eating problem.
22:31Only food from the culinary guru counts. Everything else is trash.
22:36You...
22:36Hey, I can pay.
22:38I'm not after money.
22:40If Alex can eat my food, then I'm the best choice to be his wife.
22:45Ditch Ira, and let's get married.
22:49Marrying Alex means all his money is mine.
22:52Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex. That fortune is mine.
22:57Do you really want to be with someone after your cash?
23:00Not your business.
23:04Vaughn, give me a band-aid.
23:11Alex promised to share his inheritance with me.
23:15Do it yourself.
23:19Hello?
23:20Hello, my dear apprentice.
23:22I just got my phone and called you.
23:24How are you?
23:25I...
23:26I miss you, my dear.
23:28I thought I might come for a visit.
23:30Awesome.
23:31My mentor is coming to visit.
23:33Robert, I need backup.
23:34I married this rich guy, Alex Thompson,
23:37and now my stepsister is after him and his money.
23:40What are you talking about?
23:41I'm not after money.
23:44Ira, is that how you talk about me?
23:46Your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole.
23:48Why do you care what he thinks?
23:50Maybe you should worry about your own problems.
23:55Alex, great news.
23:57Your appetite issues are about to be fixed.
24:00With me taking care of your meals, you'll be fine.
24:03Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
24:06Actually, it's culinary guru.
24:08Really?
24:09Where is he?
24:10I've contacted Master.
24:12He's coming to help you.
24:15I need to win Alex over before he arrives.
24:20She hung up on me.
24:22I tell you, that Ira is getting way out of line.
24:25Wait a minute.
24:26Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO with the eating disorder
24:29that Blake asked me to treat?
24:42Oh, my dear apprentice.
24:44I'm on my way.
24:47They think they can kick me to the curb
24:49just because they found the culinary guru?
24:55Where'd Ira get this stuff, anyway?
24:57It actually got Alex to eat my food.
25:01But it's mine now.
25:03Once Alex drinks this love potion,
25:06he's all mine.
25:16Try my soup while it's still hot.
25:21How's it with the culinary guru?
25:23Could this seasoning be linked to the culinary guru?
25:26It's Ira's shit.
25:28That's a stretch.
25:29I could get used to it.
25:31Since you could finally eat,
25:33let me feed you.
25:34I got this.
25:35Thanks.
25:36Come on, don't push me away.
25:37What's wrong with you?
25:39And why is it so hot in here?
25:42Seriously, Evelyn, get off.
25:45Feeling warm?
25:46Let me help.
25:47Alex, something's off with the culinary guru.
25:52What are you doing here?
25:55This is how you help?
26:00I gotta see this.
26:04Oh!
26:07Get lost!
26:15Feeling better already, huh?
26:17She calls that help,
26:19and you just watched me get...
26:21groped.
26:29My heart!
26:31Am I sick too?
26:32Alex, you're burning up.
26:34Can I help?
26:35Yeah, I...
26:37I could use your help.
26:47Hey, what the hell?
26:49Well, you were overheating.
26:51You must have a fever.
26:52I thought it might cool you down.
26:54Did it work?
26:55Ira, you were such a dork.
27:00Dammit, Ira, you ruined my game.
27:03Seriously, you're such an idiot.
27:05You too, John?
27:06Alex, guess what?
27:07I met the culinary guru.
27:10He thinks I'm a prodigy and wants to take me on as his apprentice.
27:13If my master listens to me, I would make the right choice.
27:16Are you threatening me?
27:19With an apprentice like you, that culinary guru must be a joke.
27:23If I don't sweet-talk Alex into marrying me,
27:25I'll miss my shot when the culinary guru shows up.
27:28Alex, marry me,
27:29and I'll make sure the culinary guru cures you.
27:32Not a chance.
27:34Is Ira finally waking up?
27:37Wait.
27:38Alex tossed your dish at the competition.
27:40What's your secret to getting him to eat it now?
27:45The seasoning Alex could eat,
27:47that was the one Ira left behind at the culinary guru contest.
27:51Could it be?
27:52She's his apprentice!
27:54Ira, what's your connection to the culinary guru?
27:57Why do you keep asking me that?
27:59I don't know any culinary guru.
28:01So Ira really is the culinary guru's apprentice,
28:04and she doesn't even realize it.
28:06Well, maybe I can put that to use.
28:07Alex, how long can you wait?
28:10Don't you care about your health?
28:12Hands off the inheritance.
28:16Who's picking on my apprentice?
28:18Is that her mentor?
28:20Mentor?
28:21Does she be a culinary guru?
28:24Robert, you're here!
28:26Great to see you, kid.
28:28I've missed you tons.
28:34Nice digs you got here, kid.
28:36You landed a top-tier husband, didn't you?
28:38I can't believe you're finally here.
28:40I've missed you heaps.
28:41The culinary guru is here.
28:45Everyone, me, Chef Robert McFombay.
28:48This guy?
28:49No way he's the world-famous culinary guru.
28:51He's as basic as Ira.
28:53Ira, bringing in some random grandpa
28:56just drags down Alex's reputation.
28:59Shut the fuck up, Evelyn.
29:01Don't insult my mentor.
29:02Let this queen twat yap.
29:06This is her only talent.
29:08Who are you calling twat?
29:10Old coon?
29:11I am the culinary guru's apprentice.
29:16One phone call and I'll snuff you both out.
29:18The culinary guru's apprentice?
29:22Funny.
29:23Never heard of you.
29:28Please, people like you from the middle of nowhere
29:31wouldn't know a celebrity if you sat down right in front of you.
29:34Enough, Evelyn.
29:36Apologize to my mentor.
29:39What's so funny, old coot?
29:41You say you're the culinary guru's apprentice.
29:45Why not prove it?
29:47With a cook-off with my apprentice.
29:51I just won the culinary championship.
29:54Why would I be scared of you, Ira?
29:57Last time you already lost.
29:58I was out last time,
30:00so that doesn't prove that Ira lost to you.
30:03Evelyn, I'm tired of your attitude.
30:06Threatening Alex with your cooking?
30:08Let's just see who's this he actually wants to taste.
30:10Ira, get real.
30:12If Alex could stomach your food,
30:14he would have by now.
30:16We'll see.
30:24With my secret sauce,
30:26let's see you stand a chance, Ira.
30:29Now why does she have my special blend in her hand?
30:36Oh no!
30:37Your fish, it's burning!
30:39What?
30:45You sly old man!
30:47Learn from me and you might succeed.
30:49Copy me and you're going down.
30:51Let's see you beat Ira now,
30:53without my special blend.
30:58Alex will love this little kid food.
31:01Burn, baby, burn.
31:04All set, just need my turkey.
31:11What the hell?
31:13Burn?
31:15No time to fix this now.
31:21Come at me, sis.
31:22You're always going to lose.
31:31You have to try my dish.
31:34Where's Ira?
31:35I'm not hungry yet.
31:37I'll wait for her food.
31:38My sole is going to get cold, Alex.
31:42Why wait your stomach for Ira?
31:46What's taking her so long?
31:49What's going on, ma'am?
31:51Look, she has nothing, Alex.
31:54Looks like she's ready to throw in the towel.
31:56Ira?
31:57What's going on?
31:59Given to you?
32:01Not a chance.
32:04Didn't even finish a dish and she's still talking big.
32:08Face it, Alex.
32:09She's all talk.
32:10Not marriage material.
32:12Who says I didn't finish?
32:15Just...
32:16What?
32:17Just hold your horses.
32:19Stop stalling, Ira.
32:21You miss the deadline.
32:22You lose.
32:24I'm the one who deserves that ring.
32:27Alex, you're not actually buying this, right?
32:30Ira, when did I ever say...
32:32Just...
32:33Alex, just try this.
32:35When I win, Ira's out.
32:37And the title's mine for good.
32:38Go on, Alex.
32:39Dig in.
32:40Let's hear the verdict.
32:52Hey, you good, boss?
32:55That is the worst slop I have ever tasted.
32:58What the hell?
33:00What did you put in that?
33:02It's triggering his eating disorder.
33:05Impossible.
33:06My spices are perfect.
33:07Someone must have messed with them.
33:10Evelyn, really.
33:11You're calling this yours?
33:14That's mine.
33:15I couldn't find it at the competition.
33:17So you take it.
33:21Evelyn, really.
33:22This is ours.
33:23You're a thief.
33:24No, no.
33:26Alex, you have to believe me.
33:27Vaughn, get...
33:28Kick her out.
33:29Alex, just give me one more shot.
33:31I can whip up something amazing.
33:33Get lost.
33:35This can't be happening.
33:43Get that away from me.
33:44I can't even handle a protein shake right now.
33:5125 Oak Street.
33:52Yes, we have an emergency.
33:54Chronic eating disorder.
33:56Yes, we need help right away.
33:57Hang tight.
33:58My dish is almost done.
34:00Guess I'm doomed to starve as a foodie.
34:04Only the culinary guru gets me.
34:06So if the culinary guru doesn't show, you're off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
34:16You know, Iris' cooking has totally surpassed mine.
34:18You gotta try it.
34:19It's a flavor journey, man.
34:21I can't trust anyone anymore.
34:23Eating garbage every day.
34:26Just take me now.
34:30Alex, since you wanted a divorce, shall we figure out what happens next?
34:34Oh, who talked about a divorce?
34:36I'm on my last legs here.
34:38Couldn't you at least comfort me?
34:40Weird.
34:41I kinda don't like seeing Alex like this.
34:45What's that noise?
34:48No need for the hospital.
34:50My roast chicken is ready.
35:01Here, Alex.
35:02Chow down.
35:05I guess your fortune is mine.
35:07I forget about him, Ira.
35:08Let's dig in.
35:11Man, that smells amazing.
35:13Try a piece.
35:17Butter.
35:18It's so sad my boss can't eat anything.
35:27Boss, it's the best food ever.
35:29You really gotta try some.
35:30Please.
35:30I told you.
35:32I always got skills.
35:34You can talk all you want.
35:35This world's food has burned too many times.
35:38I've told Alex my cooking could cure him.
35:41Do all husbands not trust their wives?
35:43Maybe I just need a normal guy.
35:44Well, what are you after?
35:46Pretty boy?
35:47A handsome guy?
35:48I've got connections.
35:49I've got connections.
35:51Oh.
35:52Well, look who the cat dragged in.
35:56How was heaven treating you?
36:03Fine.
36:04One more shot.
36:06But remember, I'm a food critic.
36:09I'll be keeping it real.
36:10No sugarcum.
36:14If you want some, help yourself.
36:17What are you waiting for?
36:18A butler?
36:34What?
36:35What?
36:36Ira's cooking is even better than the culinary guru.
36:39Boss is eating.
36:41I've got to tell Lady Linda.
36:44Ira, what is your connection to the culinary guru?
36:47Why do you keep asking that?
36:49I don't know a culinary guru.
36:51He's probably just a scammer.
36:58Get over it already.
37:00But that box you made was just like the culinary guru.
37:04And your dish, Ira, even I, a top critic, I've got to admit, it's legit.
37:10Oh, well, Robert made that one.
37:17Yeah, uh, sorry, I forgot to say, I'm the one everyone's been talking about.
37:23I'm the culinary guru.
37:28What?
37:29And Ira here, my apprentice, is already better than I am.
37:40Why didn't you tell us sooner?
37:42Alex wouldn't have been sick this entire time.
37:45Ira, I...
37:47I didn't know you actually cared about me.
37:50Well, you're such a picky eater.
37:52You had me believing that my cooking needed some serious work.
37:56So you've just been cooking for me to test your skills, huh?
38:04Boss, you're eating again!
38:06We're in the clear for the food court project!
38:12Alex, I whipped up a new dish.
38:13You've got to try it.
38:15Another review session?
38:16As your test subject.
38:17You know, I have my pride, too.
38:20Why are you acting so serious?
38:26What's this mess?
38:29You know I'm a bit of a neat freak.
38:33So, other than cooking, do you have any big dreams?
38:36I sure do!
38:38Oh, come on!
38:50I need to save my dinner from burning.
38:56Life's better when you can actually eat.
39:05Why is my face so hot?
39:22Oh, crap!
39:23I ruined it!
39:24My first time messing up a dish and it's all Alex's fault?
39:28I must be cursed.
39:30No way!
39:30I'm out of here!
39:33Oh, I love this suit.
39:36It's so nice.
39:41Alex, since you're feeling better, I'm out of here.
39:49So, who's this?
39:53Hi, I'm Gina.
39:55Ira, you said you were leaving?
39:56You know what?
39:58I might stick around.
40:10Hi, what's the hurry?
40:12Grandma, Alex is downstairs chatting with some girl.
40:18Alex, I've missed you all these years.
40:21Oh, really?
40:22I don't believe it.
40:24Grandma, who is she?
40:25I don't buy it either.
40:28She's just acting sweet.
40:29She's Alex's first crush.
40:31The one that left him to study abroad.
40:34Without a thought.
40:37Gina, didn't you swear you were done with this place?
40:45Alex, I've missed you all these years.
40:48I came back because my heart belongs to you.
40:51Looks like Ira's catching feelings for Alex.
40:56I know I blew it before.
40:58I put my plans before us and threw away everything that we had, but I'm here.
41:04I'm willing to throw away all my pride, whatever it takes.
41:07Just say I'll give it one more chance.
41:10Gina, you left me with nothing but a letter.
41:12I was lost trying to make sense of it for so long.
41:16And now you're back.
41:17What's the point?
41:18Alex, I came back for us.
41:20I've never forgotten about us.
41:22After all these years, I know you still feel it too.
41:26You haven't forgotten what we had.
41:29Let's just give it another shot.
41:37Oh, God.
41:40Aren't you hungry, Alex?
41:42Let's go.
41:44Alex.
41:45Gina, I'm married now.
41:47Just go.
41:55Oh, my ankle, I twisted it.
41:57You okay?
41:58I twisted it.
41:59It hurts.
42:00Oh, Alex.
42:01Put the ointment on it like you're used to.
42:04I haven't forgotten how sweet you are.
42:07I'll take care of it.
42:09Oh, okay.
42:11Oh, ow, ow.
42:13Why was it acting all weird?
42:16Is she finally feeling jealous?
42:21Oh, ow, ow, ow.
42:23Oh, ow.
42:25Oh, ow.
42:25Oh, ow.
42:25Now, Frank, she's totally faking it.
42:33Oh, easy.
42:35You're crushing me.
42:36Oh, you're fine.
42:37But this time, I'm going to make sure it really hurts.
42:48Ira, where are you going?
42:55Ira, you look like you lost your puppy.
42:57Alex's ex is back in town.
43:02Better keep your eye out.
43:04Alex is my husband.
43:05I'm not letting anyone take his fortune.
43:07Yeah, where a guy's heart goes, the wallet soon follows.
43:11Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
43:14You've got your work cut out for you.
43:16Body, she's got your feet.
43:19Looks, she's classy.
43:20You're comfy.
43:21She's got her degree, and you're still learning.
43:27Personality, she's sweet.
43:28You're hungry.
43:31Don't forget, she's Alex's first love.
43:33Guys, don't forget that.
43:38Well, crap.
43:39I guess I don't stand a chance.
43:41Well, you've got one ace up your sleeve.
43:44You were there for him, and helped him through his eating disorder.
43:49You were there when he needed you.
43:52I've got to cook something good.
43:54There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
43:59Poor kid.
44:01She's got it bad, and doesn't even know it.
44:04Thinks it's all about the cash.
44:09Really?
44:10No second chance for me.
44:13Gina, I'm taken.
44:16Take care.
44:25Hi, it's Ira.
44:27Sorry I missed your call.
44:29Leave a message.
44:29Where's Ira?
44:32She's dodging my calls.
44:35Must be Ira.
44:38Time to see if she's jealous.
44:44Got it, Alex.
44:45I'll be leaving tomorrow.
44:47Let's have this drink as a farewell.
44:50Cheers to your next chapter.
45:04Are you all right?
45:06Here, let me help you.
45:17Alex, we have so much to catch up on after all this time.
45:24Alex, you have to try my new dish.
45:35Alex, Ira left because she's upset with us.
45:38What do you think we should do?
45:41Get off.
45:42Ira!
45:45Alex.
45:58You're gonna regret this.
46:07Steven, the chef's apprentice is out.
46:11You're halfway to taking the food court project.
46:13Well done, Gina.
46:16Alex, remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients?
46:21This time, I'm gonna wipe the floor with you and show you how wrong you were.
46:26We need top quality ingredients for this project, or-
46:30I got it.
46:31Oh, you reminded me of something.
46:33Besides the apprentice of culinary grower,
46:35Alex has got his own man's chefs.
46:38I'm back.
46:39I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
46:41Once we snag the food court project,
46:44I'll get my share, right?
46:46Absolutely.
46:48I'll get your cut.
46:51Alex, I gave you a chance.
46:53This is all on you.
47:05She blocked me.
47:07What is she, a teenager?
47:09Boss?
47:11We've got a problem.
47:12That stupid Steven's been stealing our chefs left and right.
47:15We won't have a head chef for the Food City Project next week,
47:17and word is we're heading for bankruptcy!
47:19Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
47:22Okay.
47:23Get on it.
47:24Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
47:32Hot off the press,
47:34KL's group's top chef have flocked over to Steven Snow Group,
47:39leaving little doubt about who will win next week's Food City Project.
47:44Could this be the beginning of the end for KL Group?
47:46Oh, man, Alex is in trouble.
47:49So what?
47:50He has Gina now, doesn't he?
47:53Yeah, I guess.
47:54Alex is yesterday's news.
47:56I'm gonna go cook.
48:01Is it really that bad?
48:03Do you think about helping Alex?
48:05No.
48:10After the judges voting, the finalists for the Food City Bidding Competition are
48:15KL Group and Snow Group.
48:21All right, folks, it's time for round two, where we invite our star Michelin-starred chefs to the plate to
48:28create their magnum opuses.
48:30Let's get things started with Snow Group.
48:33Please, give her a warm welcome, folks.
48:42Gina.
48:45Didn't expect this, did you, Alex?
48:48Gina's been on my side the entire time.
48:51All that talk of you two getting back together.
48:54Just a little trick to separate you from your precious apprentice.
48:58Alex, I gave you a chance.
49:03When you told everybody that my company uses inferior ingredients, I swore I was going to bring you down.
49:10Your character is just like your ingredients, rotten on the inside and out.
49:17Keep talking tough, Alex.
49:19But where are you now?
49:21No head chef.
49:22No culinary genius.
49:24I'm going to snatch that project you've been drooling over.
49:28And then I'm going to watch KL Group crumble.
49:34Ladies and gentlemen, now we have the lovely Miss Gina ready to present her dish.
49:40KL Group, it's your turn to step up.
49:44What's going on?
49:45Why is there no beyond Alex's side?
49:47It looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
49:49Folks, what now?
49:50I don't know if you're a chef.
49:52I don't know if you're a liar over here.
49:54Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
49:56Even if you squeak by the first round, you've got no one for the second.
50:04She's got me all wrong, and I don't think she's coming back.
50:07This misunderstanding is too deep.
50:10Since we have no one from KL Group to compete, I hereby announce that the winner is Snow!
50:17Wait a minute!
50:21Alex, I'm back!
50:27What's the score?
50:28We're toast.
50:30I thought Gina was your ace.
50:32Guess she's not cutting it, huh?
50:33It's not like that with her and me.
50:36And Gina's representing Steven in this competition.
50:38Hmm, so your little reunion didn't go as planned?
50:42Ira, nothing happened with her.
50:43I will represent the KL Group.
50:45I'll take Gina on myself.
50:49Aren't we expecting to see Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
50:52Are you really in that league?
50:54No, I'm not.
50:56How can she compete when she doesn't have any credentials, especially against Gina?
51:00I mean, she has royal chef status.
51:05Royal chef?
51:06Never heard of it.
51:06I was trained by the culinary guru, though, if that means anything.
51:12But the culinary guru hasn't been around for ages.
51:15And besides, Gina, she trained with the sea guru, Robert.
51:19She said she trained with them?
51:21I mean, what?
51:22Wait.
51:24You're the culinary guru's apprentice?
51:28So, Steven stole all of Alex's chefs.
51:32Well, I may not be Michelin-starred status, but I have what it takes to represent the KL Group.
51:38Why do you think you can represent KL?
51:40Because I'm his wife.
51:41That's why.
51:44Ira, you're a lifesaver.
51:48Let's see what you cook up.
51:51I'll give it a try, and we'll see who takes the crown.
51:56And who are you, old man?
51:58What makes you think you're in charge here?
52:00He's Alan Ducasse, president of the DuPont Group.
52:03The project's big cheese.
52:09Oh, he's definitely the one with the final say.
52:14Sir, this is the dish from Snow Group.
52:20Rich and aromatic, like you're basking in a warm Mediterranean sun.
52:26I created this with the combined efforts of three top chefs.
52:31So good luck beating that, Ira.
52:33You may be the culinary guru's apprentice, but that doesn't mean that you can outshine the work of four of
52:38us combined.
52:44Seriously, you think you can compete with something so simple and rough?
52:50This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with?
52:53It's so inelegant.
52:55You don't understand.
52:57A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients will never make the best food.
53:03Ira's right.
53:04A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
53:07I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
53:21What's up with Alan?
53:22Why isn't he saying anything?
53:24Do you think the stuff is that bad?
53:26It must be terrible.
53:27Mr. Alan's in tears.
53:29No one asked your opinion.
53:31Mr. Alan, how does it taste?
53:36My dream, since I was young, was to taste the best food in the world.
53:41I never guessed I would do it today.
53:44I've waited 30 years for this dish.
53:47I declare the KL Group, led by Alex, winner.
53:52This isn't fair!
53:53I use the best, most expensive ingredients for my dish!
53:56How can plain scrambled eggs beat that?
53:59If all they care about is chasing fancy and extravagant, that is not what the project needs.
54:05Snow Group doesn't cut it.
54:08Just wait, Alex.
54:09I'm gonna make you pay!
54:12Ira, you crushed it!
54:14Food City project is ours.
54:15I told you I could do it!
54:18Miss Ira, I have to know.
54:20So, what were you thinking while you were whipping those eggs that became so delicious?
54:26I guess I was just thinking about someone special.
54:32Miss Ira, sounds like you have it for that person.
54:42Miss Ira, thanks for everything in this competition.
54:56This is a family heirloom meant for Mrs. Thompson.
55:01So, Ira, will you be mine forever?
55:12Stay forever?
55:14That sounds boring.
55:16I haven't even explored the world yet.
55:18Guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
55:24Ira, do you not get it or are you just messing with me?
55:33hey Alex what's up you called for me I have two gifts for you
55:40here's a card with half my fortune take it as a thank you
55:47Alex you're the best I love cash now I can buy all the ingredients I want and travel anywhere

57:16see him oh crap I never signed the divorce papers how do I bring that up
