00:00:00French Shannon Tartar! Only $5! Want to try one?
00:00:05Ma'am, you need to see this. The 2026 Golden Fork competition kicks off any minute now.
00:00:10Boss lead on Chef Hugo still can't taste the thing. I don't know how we're gonna get through this.
00:00:14Calm down, Zach. I built the Heinz Group from the ground up. It's not going down under my watch.
00:00:20Activate the emergency protocol. Bring in the top two, Chef. Now.
00:00:23French Shannon Tartar! Only $5!
00:00:26Hold on. What is that incredible smell?
00:00:30French Shannon Tartar!
00:00:32Sweetheart, where are your parents?
00:00:35My mom is sick. I'm looking to save her.
00:00:41Shh, it's okay, sweetheart. Don't cry. I have something for you.
00:00:46I need you to find your father, Leon. Okay?
00:00:51A liver transplant costs over a million. You can't pay that.
00:00:55I'll make money the way mommy taught me. I'll save her on my spouse.
00:01:01I'll take everything this little chef made.
00:01:04Thank you, ma'am.
00:01:10My god. Crispy, silky, perfectly balanced. I've never tasted salmon truffle tartare this good.
00:01:17This is a mission of a craft. Sweetheart, I'll pay you a million dollars.
00:01:23Be the head chef for Heinz Group and represent Rene in the Golden Fork competition.
00:01:27Rene, it's a craft competition.
00:01:50This is flat.
00:01:51Hugo, you're a Michelin star chef and you can't even cook soup.
00:01:54You're not only risking the market value of Heinz Group, but our reputation.
00:01:57I'm sorry, sir.
00:01:58My sense of taste still hasn't come back.
00:02:01Has anyone heard anything from Master Renee?
00:02:03Anything at all?
00:02:07Son?
00:02:10Meet your new head chef, Catherine.
00:02:15You and Hugo can take a breather.
00:02:17Catherine, this is my son, Leon.
00:02:22Hi, Leon.
00:02:23You're super handsome.
00:02:25Want to be my dad?
00:02:30Why does this kid feel familiar?
00:02:34Bob, seriously?
00:02:36The kid is head chef?
00:02:39I can totally do it.
00:02:41How about you try my food first, then decide?
00:02:47Hey, kid.
00:02:49This kitchen isn't your playground.
00:02:51Boss, choose me.
00:02:53I'm the one who can actually run this place.
00:02:56Okay, Grace, fine.
00:02:58If you can pull off an Uni Ice Cream Moose, I'll check that with all yours.
00:03:01Of course.
00:03:02I'll nail it.
00:03:03Don't get too cocky up it.
00:03:04Uni with a moose base is a minefield.
00:03:06When we're all moving, it'll taste like a tide pool.
00:03:11I can do this.
00:03:16Hand lift.
00:03:18Delete level control.
00:03:26Boss, am I head chef material now?
00:03:29She tripled the volume.
00:03:30Bigger body, cleaner flavors.
00:03:32Classic Michelin technique.
00:03:34I will say, Grace, you did a pretty solid job.
00:03:36I was...
00:03:37Excuse me.
00:03:42I can do it way better.
00:03:48Listen, little kid.
00:03:50You don't look like you've ever even been in a kitchen.
00:03:52Let alone seen anything that's not on the $1 menu at Burger King.
00:03:55And you think you can whip a moose?
00:03:57Please.
00:04:02Of course I can.
00:04:03In this kitchen, only one person has won the Golden Fork three times in a row.
00:04:09Me.
00:04:11And I say that Catherine has the talent.
00:04:15Anyone want to challenge that?
00:04:25Boss, come on!
00:04:26She can't even reach the countertop.
00:04:28Catherine, we have some extra Uni and Cream.
00:04:31Show us what you got.
00:04:33Grandma, that one, please.
00:04:34I need to shut.
00:04:51All done.
00:04:53Perfectly whipped.
00:04:55That's five times expansion Uni ice cream moose.
00:04:58How is this possible?
00:05:00This is Renee-level technique.
00:05:02Sweetheart, this is incredible.
00:05:05Didn't I tell you?
00:05:06You've already outcooked half the chefs here.
00:05:09This is impossible.
00:05:11How does a little brat know the secret to high-volume whipping?
00:05:15Oh, Grace.
00:05:16Let's be honest.
00:05:17If you can't even handle a moose,
00:05:19how do you keep a straight face
00:05:20and tell people you're the head chef
00:05:22when a six-year-old just outcooked you?
00:05:31Bad news.
00:05:32VP James from the Mason group
00:05:33just showed up with an entire entourage.
00:05:36Of course he did.
00:05:37They're probably here for the Golden Fork competition.
00:05:54Leon, on behalf of Mason group,
00:05:57I challenge Heinz.
00:05:59The winner will get a Golden Fork competition slot.
00:06:02No, James.
00:06:03You're not welcome here.
00:06:04Get out.
00:06:06What's wrong?
00:06:07Backing out already?
00:06:07We both know that you can't beat us.
00:06:10Here, let me help you with tomorrow's headline.
00:06:13Heinz crumbles.
00:06:14Leon fakes for mercy.
00:06:16We've always let our craft speak for us.
00:06:19Fine.
00:06:20Leon Heinz, accept your challenge.
00:06:22Deal.
00:06:22And now,
00:06:24please welcome
00:06:25the world's top-tasting authority,
00:06:28Mr. Herrods,
00:06:30head of the legendary Herrods culinary dynasty.
00:06:38No one matches his credentials.
00:06:39If he says the dish is good,
00:06:41it's gospel.
00:06:42And he's brutally picky.
00:06:44If we send a poor kid out there,
00:06:45we're doomed.
00:06:48Oh, by the way, Leon,
00:06:50I heard you and Chef Hugo
00:06:52lost your sense of taste.
00:06:53Running out of chefs, are we?
00:06:55James, you bastard!
00:06:56I knew it wasn't a coincidence.
00:06:59You had someone tamper with our food.
00:07:01No, not here.
00:07:02All right, not on our turf.
00:07:03You're not walking out of here with the wind.
00:07:05Boss,
00:07:05let me represent Heinz against Terry.
00:07:08Are you sure about this, Grace?
00:07:09Even I can only go toe-toe with Terry at best.
00:07:12A chef who's never earned
00:07:14a single Michelin star
00:07:15versus Terry,
00:07:16the guy who has won
00:07:17three Michelin three stars.
00:07:19We'd be better off letting Kathy...
00:07:21I'll do it!
00:07:28So, this is it, Leon?
00:07:30Heinz is so desperate
00:07:31that you're going to let a child cook for you?
00:07:35Move, you little street rat!
00:07:37Honestly, no manners.
00:07:39Don't you ever lay a hand on my chef?
00:07:41Oh, please!
00:07:42If I beat a kid,
00:07:43there's no glory of that.
00:07:45This is pathetic.
00:07:46Boss,
00:07:47we're really letting a kid
00:07:48handle something this big?
00:07:49Renee's hanging on by one Michelin star.
00:07:52One wrong move,
00:07:53and our whole reputation
00:07:54goes down the drain.
00:07:55Leon, you planned this.
00:07:57Poisoning our food
00:07:57to destroy our taste?
00:07:59It's all part of their scheme
00:08:00to take down Heinz.
00:08:02The only chef here
00:08:03whose talent surpasses
00:08:05all of yours
00:08:05is Catherine.
00:08:07If you're also capable,
00:08:08then tell me.
00:08:09Who will face Terry?
00:08:10She's six years old!
00:08:12A dish made by a little brat
00:08:14can't possibly hold up.
00:08:15You'll never know
00:08:16how a dish tastes
00:08:17until you actually cook it.
00:08:19Renee said
00:08:20the exact same thing.
00:08:25Are you sure
00:08:25this flavor pattern will work?
00:08:28You'll never know
00:08:29how a dish tastes
00:08:30until you actually cook it.
00:08:33Why does every instinct
00:08:35in me say
00:08:35Catherine will win?
00:08:37All right, Catherine.
00:08:38You're up.
00:08:39Boss,
00:08:40seriously?
00:08:41You can't be choosing her.
00:08:43I do not approve.
00:08:47So, if I'm the head chef,
00:08:49how much are you going to pay me?
00:08:51Oh, unbelievable.
00:08:53How can she be this money hungry?
00:08:55Who raised this little brat?
00:08:57If you win,
00:08:58you get this number.
00:09:00Five thousand?
00:09:03Five million.
00:09:05Annual salary.
00:09:06And I wired you in advance.
00:09:08One, two, three, four, five.
00:09:11Five million.
00:09:13I can save my mommy.
00:09:15She's going to be okay.
00:09:16Of course.
00:09:17She grew up poor.
00:09:19No wonder
00:09:19she can only talk about the money.
00:09:22Catherine,
00:09:22how is your mother?
00:09:23Is she doing any better?
00:09:27Mommy!
00:09:28I got money now.
00:09:29I'm going to fix you.
00:09:31You're going to be okay.
00:09:32Sweetheart,
00:09:33are you all right?
00:09:33Are you safe?
00:09:36I'm okay, Mom.
00:09:37I just...
00:09:38I wish you were here.
00:09:40No.
00:09:41That voice.
00:09:42Her mother can't be...
00:09:43Renee.
00:09:44My Renee?
00:09:47Ladies and gentlemen,
00:09:49the match begins now!
00:09:50The loser will forfeit their place
00:09:52in the 2026
00:09:54Golden Fork Competition!
00:09:56For today's challenge,
00:09:58your appetizer must be built
00:09:59around white truffle.
00:10:01White truffle?
00:10:03That's one of the hardest ingredients to take.
00:10:05It needs seafood to anchor the flavor,
00:10:07otherwise the aroma collapses instantly.
00:10:09Good Lord.
00:10:10Alaska red king crab.
00:10:12One of those goes for a million.
00:10:14Maison isn't even trying to hide it.
00:10:16They're here to crush us.
00:10:20One minute.
00:10:21He broke down a king crab
00:10:23in one minute.
00:10:25High-end ingredients
00:10:27and a nine-star chef?
00:10:29We're doomed!
00:10:39Are you hurt?
00:10:40If you can't keep going,
00:10:42it's fine.
00:10:42Just stop...
00:10:43No, I'm fine
00:10:44and I will win.
00:10:46White truffle is Terry's signature.
00:10:48Careful, Leon.
00:10:49World might think
00:10:50Maison group is
00:10:51bullying a child.
00:10:52Why do you grown-ups
00:10:53get to decide what I can
00:10:54and cannot do?
00:10:55Listen, little brat.
00:10:57Heinz is embarrassing itself
00:10:58enough already.
00:10:59Step aside
00:11:00and let someone
00:11:01competent take over.
00:11:02What are you gonna cook?
00:11:04Huh?
00:11:04You pocket-sized little...
00:11:07Then let's bet!
00:11:09If I lose,
00:11:11I'll walk away
00:11:11from here forever.
00:11:13And if I win,
00:11:14you all call me
00:11:16Chef Catherine.
00:11:20Fine.
00:11:21You think I'm afraid
00:11:22of a little kitchen brat?
00:11:29Wait, is she trying
00:11:31to make...
00:11:36She's butchering
00:11:37white truffle like that.
00:11:39Do they know
00:11:39how expensive it is?
00:11:41Okay.
00:11:42Heinz group is done.
00:11:44Absolutely finished.
00:11:46Little brat,
00:11:48this is a competition,
00:11:49not your kindergarten
00:11:50art project.
00:11:51Boss, make her stop.
00:11:54Let me take over
00:11:55before we embarrass
00:11:56ourselves to death.
00:11:57No substitutions
00:11:58make competition.
00:12:00Everyone abides
00:12:00by the rules.
00:12:02Kat, sweetheart,
00:12:03are you sure
00:12:04about this?
00:12:06Magena, believe in me.
00:12:08You're my biggest fan,
00:12:09remember?
00:12:11Do you want some advice?
00:12:13Surrender now.
00:12:14That way your humiliation
00:12:15can stay local
00:12:16instead of going global.
00:12:19I said this would happen.
00:12:21Why is nobody
00:12:22listening to me?
00:12:23Mr. Harris,
00:12:24my dishes ready.
00:12:40The pairings,
00:12:42superb.
00:12:43Layers of the sweetness,
00:12:45grown with death.
00:12:46This is undeniably
00:12:48the finest Alaska
00:12:49Red King crab
00:12:50I've ever tasted.
00:12:52Game over, Leon.
00:12:55We're doomed.
00:12:57Completely doomed.
00:12:58And all because
00:12:59of that little
00:12:59if I had lost
00:13:00my sense of taste
00:13:01we'd never be
00:13:02in this mess.
00:13:03Well then,
00:13:03Mr. Harris,
00:13:04go ahead and announce
00:13:05the winner.
00:13:06Hold it.
00:13:07Stop.
00:13:08Hold it.
00:13:09Stop.
00:13:11What now?
00:13:12You really think
00:13:12a little brat like you
00:13:14can pull out a miracle?
00:13:15I wasn't done yet.
00:13:17Please wait
00:13:17just one more second.
00:13:24I believe in Catherine.
00:13:25Hold on.
00:13:26Let her finish.
00:13:27For fairness,
00:13:28the timer hasn't expired.
00:13:30We'll wait for Catherine.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:31Now I'm done.
00:13:41Are you serious?
00:13:42You didn't even open it.
00:13:44Are you trying to fool us, kid?
00:13:45Nice job, Leon.
00:13:47Dragging in a little
00:13:48street rat
00:13:49and then pretending
00:13:49she's the next
00:13:50Master Renee?
00:13:51Get real.
00:13:52I need Parker
00:13:53but that's my mother.
00:13:55Mr. Harris,
00:13:55let's stop wasting time.
00:13:58Are you sure
00:14:00you don't want to open it?
00:14:01A competition
00:14:02is a competition.
00:14:03We judge
00:14:03what is presented.
00:14:17No, no way.
00:14:19This,
00:14:21this resembles.
00:14:26How is it possible?
00:14:28The bubbles and pearls
00:14:29are all white trouble.
00:14:31You can eat
00:14:32every single one.
00:14:36How did she get them
00:14:37this exact,
00:14:38this delicate,
00:14:39this real?
00:14:40Now this is what
00:14:42a true
00:14:42white truffle dish
00:14:44looks like.
00:14:46This truffle flavor.
00:14:48Magnificent!
00:14:48I'm honestly
00:14:49at a loss for words.
00:14:51Oh, no.
00:14:51It's impossible.
00:14:52White truffle
00:14:53is fragile.
00:14:55It's too soft
00:14:56to manipulate like this.
00:14:57A kid shouldn't even
00:14:58be capable of this.
00:14:59I named it
00:15:00Truffle Pearl
00:15:00and Ocean Mist.
00:15:02She used liquid nitrogen
00:15:03to cool the truffle cream,
00:15:04creating a perfect
00:15:05truffle sphere.
00:15:06It looks like a real pearl
00:15:08because it has crafted
00:15:10like one.
00:15:10No way!
00:15:12Just a child!
00:15:13Look at the luster.
00:15:15Heavy pearl,
00:15:15translucent,
00:15:17textured,
00:15:18flawless.
00:15:19This is
00:15:19extraordinary!
00:15:21Wait,
00:15:22this looks exactly like
00:15:26Renee's signature dish.
00:15:28The legend,
00:15:29Renee?
00:15:30This technique,
00:15:31this vision.
00:15:32Only Renee ever created
00:15:33something like this.
00:15:34Catherine,
00:15:34who are you?
00:15:35No one!
00:15:36No one can turn
00:15:38white truffle into pearls
00:15:39and make them this good!
00:15:41You must have cheated.
00:15:43I supervised every second.
00:15:45Cheating is impossible,
00:15:46which means
00:15:47the winner is...
00:15:52Catherine.
00:15:54Catherine!
00:16:01I won!
00:16:02So now you have to call me
00:16:03Chef Catherine,
00:16:05remember?
00:16:06But I,
00:16:07Grace,
00:16:08you're the soup chef.
00:16:09A bet's a bet.
00:16:10You know what to do.
00:16:13Welcome,
00:16:14Chef Catherine!
00:16:16My pleasure.
00:16:17I refuse to accept this.
00:16:19I'm a Michelin Starcher!
00:16:21Useless!
00:16:22Shut up!
00:16:24I paid you
00:16:25and you let some
00:16:26little bastard
00:16:27outperform you?
00:16:28Get lost!
00:16:30Leon,
00:16:32this is not over!
00:16:34I demand a second round!
00:16:36Catherine already
00:16:37beat her head,
00:16:38Chef.
00:16:38The competition is over.
00:16:40Who said the contest
00:16:41is only one round?
00:16:43Unless you're too scared
00:16:45to continue
00:16:45and want to forfeit.
00:16:49You shameless snake!
00:16:51Your head chef
00:16:52can't even outcook,
00:16:53Catherine.
00:16:54And you're still here
00:16:55bluffing.
00:16:56Let's be real.
00:16:57We haven't even
00:16:57touched the main course.
00:16:59A single appetizer
00:17:00crowns no real chef.
00:17:02Right,
00:17:03Mr. Harrods?
00:17:04Indeed.
00:17:05Appetizers showcase
00:17:06creativity.
00:17:07But the actual
00:17:08culinary hierarchy
00:17:09is in the main dish.
00:17:11Okay then,
00:17:12if it's a main dish,
00:17:13I'm game.
00:17:14Oh,
00:17:15stop it.
00:17:16One chef Catherine
00:17:17and you think
00:17:18you're Gordon Ramsay
00:17:19Jr.?
00:17:20Main dishes require
00:17:21precision,
00:17:22timing,
00:17:23flavors,
00:17:24layered,
00:17:25textured,
00:17:26protein.
00:17:27This is advanced
00:17:28territory.
00:17:29If you're backing out,
00:17:30we'll log that in
00:17:31as an official forfeit.
00:17:32No one's forfeiting
00:17:33anything.
00:17:34Alright,
00:17:34we're in.
00:17:35Catherine,
00:17:36keep going.
00:17:37Leon,
00:17:37let me take this one.
00:17:38Even taste blind,
00:17:40I can still cook.
00:17:41And I'm the sous chef.
00:17:43Obviously,
00:17:44I rank higher
00:17:44than a kindergartner.
00:17:46She won the first round.
00:17:47Alright,
00:17:47she stays in.
00:17:48Ladies and gentlemen,
00:17:51for round two,
00:17:52allow me to present
00:17:54the legendary
00:17:56Master Renee's...
00:17:59Renee?
00:18:00Master Renee's
00:18:02most prized protege.
00:18:04The one whose skills
00:18:05are on her level,
00:18:07Master Ruby.
00:18:14Master Renee's...
00:18:15Mom's top protege?
00:18:17We've searched the corners
00:18:19of the world for Renee.
00:18:20How did we not know
00:18:21she had a protege?
00:18:22Master Renee wasn't just
00:18:24the best female chef
00:18:24in the country,
00:18:25she was a global icon.
00:18:28If Ruby inherits
00:18:29those culinary secrets,
00:18:31we're cooked.
00:18:33Wait,
00:18:34since when did Mom
00:18:35have a protege?
00:18:36I'm my mom's best student.
00:18:39We're talking about Master Rene. Nobody even knows who your mom is.
00:18:44If Ruby really is Master Rene's protege, then there's no chance we can win this at all.
00:18:49Well, are we competing or what?
00:18:51So tell me, which one of you is dying to get humiliated first?
00:18:56Me!
00:18:58You, you little kid. Aren't you scared?
00:19:01Scared of what, you? Please! You're not even the real thing!
00:19:07You're a knock-off! You're a fink!
00:19:11She called her a fink?!
00:19:15What did you just say, kid?!
00:19:18Sweetheart, are you saying Ruby isn't Rene's protege?
00:19:21Nonsense. What would a pint-sized rat know about anything?
00:19:25Where did this little stray even crawl out from anyway?
00:19:28You question Master Ruby again and I'll teach you some manners!
00:19:32Don't confuse age with authority. Don't confuse size with fear.
00:19:37You don't scare me.
00:19:39You!
00:19:39You!
00:19:41You!
00:19:4520 minutes. Your main dish challenge.
00:19:48B, let the round begin!
00:19:51She's not control.
00:19:53Unless Cat isn't even in her league.
00:19:57Oh! That's the perfect pan flip!
00:20:00Master Rene's signature move!
00:20:04So Ruby really is!
00:20:06Told ya! Mind blown yet?
00:20:09Perfect breathing!
00:20:10The ideal attempt to push garlic to its aromatic peak without burning it!
00:20:14That's impossible! I've never seen such precision!
00:20:18Ruby operates at a level that you all can't even dream of.
00:20:21Face it Leon!
00:20:22You!
00:20:23Your staff!
00:20:24Your whole sad little restaurant!
00:20:26You're not Golden Fork material!
00:20:27Save yourself the humiliation and tap out now!
00:20:33If we lose the slot, we're totally finished!
00:20:37Cat, you're our last shot.
00:20:39Okay, right now, every hope I have is on you.
00:20:49Seriously?
00:20:51Cat?
00:20:51This is a championship!
00:20:53Not your toy kitchen at home!
00:20:55What is this kid doing?
00:20:57Huh!
00:20:57Keep it up!
00:20:58Because she is going to single-handedly bankrupt the entire Heinz group!
00:21:05Her side dishes... oddly similar to Ruby's.
00:21:10What?!
00:21:11Cat!
00:21:12What are you thinking?!
00:21:13Don't tell me that you're actually trying to make Master Rene's golden beef!
00:21:18Copying the golden beef?!
00:21:21Seriously, Cat!
00:21:22You have no backbone at all!
00:21:25Ruby's technique is flawless!
00:21:27Her steak is almost done!
00:21:29And our Chef Cat is what?!
00:21:34Making candy beef stew?!
00:21:37This is a competition!
00:21:39Ruby is cooking authentic golden beef!
00:21:43I love sweets!
00:21:45Who doesn't?!
00:21:48Cat!
00:21:49Are you sabotaging us?!
00:21:51Who throws candy into a main dish?!
00:21:53I still can't believe you put this little rat against Master Ruby!
00:21:57What a joke!
00:21:59Nobody is more qualified than me!
00:22:01Because I am the only one that can make the real golden beef!
00:22:08This is ridiculous!
00:22:10If you screw this up, Cat, you won't just tank Rene's restaurant!
00:22:15You'll nuke Heinz Group's stock and shut down trading!
00:22:19Can you carry that on your tiny shoulders?
00:22:21Are stocks?!
00:22:22No idea what it is!
00:22:24But I do know you're talking way too loud!
00:22:27You're messing up my vibe!
00:22:29We're not even cooking steak properly!
00:22:31Sir, we have Michelin Chefs on payroll!
00:22:35And you're betting everything on this little-
00:22:37No justifications!
00:22:38Okay, I trust her, period!
00:22:41Zoom in!
00:22:42Here's tomorrow's front page!
00:22:45Heinz Group wipes out!
00:22:46CEO bets on Child Chef!
00:22:54Mr. Harris, my dish is ready!
00:23:01Oh, that's my girl!
00:23:04Perfect!
00:23:05Clock's ticking!
00:23:06If Cat isn't ready, that's an automatic loss!
00:23:10Catherine, if you cannot present on time, you forfeit the round!
00:23:19Oh, come on!
00:23:20Is she cooking here or is she trying to stage an accident?
00:23:26I'm done, Mr. Harris!
00:23:28Please, enjoy!
00:23:29Bring both dishes forward.
00:23:30We open them simultaneously.
00:23:48So this is the legendary golden beef!
00:23:53The aroma, extraordinary!
00:23:55The crust, like molten gold!
00:23:58Ladies and gentlemen, this is what pedigree looks like!
00:24:02Ruby darling, you were practically born winning!
00:24:09Oh, good god!
00:24:12The textures!
00:24:13The umami layers!
00:24:15I've reviewed Michelin Temple for years,
00:24:17and this might be the closest thing to edible divinity I've ever tasted!
00:24:22I'd trade my monocle cliffside villa for a second plate again.
00:24:26No hesitation!
00:24:28With ordinary beef she made this?
00:24:30Oh, her skills really are terrifying!
00:24:33Heinz is doomed!
00:24:34Kat just nuked our future!
00:24:37Leon, why don't you just skip the embarrassment?
00:24:40No need to reveal whatever microwave tragedy your little street rat cooked up.
00:24:45Honestly, Kat should actually stick to unboxing frozen Aldi meals.
00:24:50It's way more her brand.
00:24:53Mr. Harrods, feel free to crown us.
00:24:56The uh, outcome is obvious.
00:24:59Excuse me?
00:25:01Who said you won?
00:25:03Mr. Harrods hasn't even seen my golden beef.
00:25:06Maybe try looking before you open that giant mouth of yours.
00:25:14Oh my god!
00:25:17This is your finished dish?
00:25:19Did you confuse a Michelin restaurant for a kindergarten bake sale?
00:25:24Leon, honestly, how do you show your face running a joke like this?
00:25:29Pathetic.
00:25:29You really thought copying me would magically turn into golden beef?
00:25:34This isn't cooking.
00:25:36This is a cry for help.
00:25:38That's weird.
00:25:39This isn't how it's supposed to turn out.
00:25:43Boss!
00:25:44I told you this little brat was gonna tank our reputation!
00:25:48Congrats, kid!
00:25:50You're officially the biggest PR disaster in Heinz history!
00:25:54Relax!
00:25:55Heinz is already halfway to the grave.
00:25:58I'm just here to throw in the final handful of dirt.
00:26:01Madam, I'm sorry.
00:26:03If not for my failing taste buds, Heinz wouldn't be in ruins!
00:26:08You!
00:26:09You owe us everything you just destroyed!
00:26:13Honestly, save yourself the embarrassment.
00:26:15Come join the mazen group and all you have to do is kiss the bottom of my shoe.
00:26:20And I'll consider hiring you.
00:26:21Maybe.
00:26:28You really shouldn't celebrate yet.
00:26:31Mr. Heritage hasn't even seen my golden beef.
00:26:52The legendary golden lion exists!
00:26:57The legends were true!
00:27:02Where's all the smoke coming from?
00:27:04The lion responds to the aroma of golden beef.
00:27:08This is Master Rene's Lord's signature dish.
00:27:11The one that vanished years ago.
00:27:14No!
00:27:15There's no way a six year old could pull that off!
00:27:19This is witchcraft!
00:27:22Witchcraft!
00:27:22Grace!
00:27:23Come on!
00:27:24I told you!
00:27:26I'm the only one that can recreate Master Rene's signature dish!
00:27:30Liar!
00:27:31Lion would never respond to your cooking!
00:27:34The golden beef is mine!
00:27:35I'm the one and only protege of Master Rene!
00:27:39Stop lying!
00:27:41You should be ashamed!
00:27:42Yeah!
00:27:43Whatever you cooked earlier!
00:27:45Even the raccoon outside our dumpster would have turned that down!
00:27:49Mr. Herons!
00:27:50Save your tongue!
00:27:52Let's just wrap this up and crown Ruby!
00:27:55Hines has embarrassed itself enough for one day!
00:27:57You road-ups are seriously shameless!
00:28:00Oh!
00:28:01You want attitude!
00:28:03Well, let's see how long it lasts once I taste your so-called golden beef!
00:28:19James?
00:28:20Hello?
00:28:22Say something!
00:28:23Herons, you take a bite!
00:28:35This...
00:28:35This can't be real!
00:28:38He's speechless because it's disgusting!
00:28:40You should just surrender now, kid!
00:28:42Yes, Mr. Herons!
00:28:43Don't protect her!
00:28:46It's...
00:28:48Phenomenal!
00:28:50My God!
00:28:52This is truly crafted by human hands!
00:28:54It tastes like the gates of heaven just opened up for me!
00:28:58Told you!
00:28:59She's...
00:29:00Another!
00:29:02Boss, don't listen to her!
00:29:03I'll taste it myself!
00:29:11No...
00:29:11No way!
00:29:13There's no way a kid made this!
00:29:15The verdict is clear!
00:29:18The verdict is clear!
00:29:18Catherine's Dish is the true successor to Master Renee's signature golden beef!
00:29:23And the winner is...
00:29:29Catherine!
00:29:30Oh!
00:29:30Oh!
00:29:32Oh!
00:29:33Oh!
00:29:34Oh!
00:29:37Oh!
00:29:38We did it!
00:29:39Renee Restaurant is safe!
00:29:41Oh!
00:29:43Oh!
00:29:43Oh!
00:29:44That was incredible!
00:29:47Thank you!
00:29:48Now where's my five million?
00:29:52There's five million on this card?
00:29:54It's all yours!
00:29:55Spend on whatever you want!
00:29:57Thank you!
00:29:58Thank you, Daddy Leon!
00:30:00You're the best!
00:30:05Oh, yeah!
00:30:06James!
00:30:07You bring a fake chef and pass her off as Master Renee's protege?
00:30:12Shame on you!
00:30:13Damn it!
00:30:14You...
00:30:15You think you can play me like this?
00:30:17You...
00:30:18You lying piece of shit!
00:30:19It's a trash!
00:30:21I'm sorry!
00:30:22I'm sorry!
00:30:23Give me one more chance!
00:30:24I'll...
00:30:24I'll do anything!
00:30:25Hey!
00:30:26Take her out of my sight!
00:30:29And break every tendon in her hands!
00:30:32No!
00:30:33Please!
00:30:34Small reminder, James.
00:30:36It's time to honor your wages.
00:30:38Who the hell told you to take photographs and delete it?
00:30:43Here...
00:30:45Ten million!
00:30:49And nobody...
00:30:50And I mean...
00:30:51Nobody!
00:30:52Will leak what happened here today!
00:30:55And as for the Golden Fork...
00:30:58I'll get in my own way!
00:31:00Still cheating your way through life, huh?
00:31:01That's fine!
00:31:03We'll beat you any place, anywhere!
00:31:04Get ready!
00:31:05Because next time,
00:31:06I am bringing in a real Master Chef!
00:31:10Let's see how your little bastard survives that!
00:31:19Where's Catherine?
00:31:20She took your black card and ran out the door!
00:31:22She said she was going to the hospital to save her mom!
00:31:25Master Carter, on behalf of Maze and Dining Group,
00:31:29I'm inviting you to represent us in the 2026 Golden Fork Competition.
00:31:40Now...
00:31:40About this kid, Catherine...
00:31:43She reminds me a lot of Renee back in the day.
00:31:47If she rises...
00:31:48You're thrown to get a little shaky.
00:31:51Renee...
00:31:51She was brilliant.
00:31:53But she still lost to me.
00:31:54And a kid with sticky fingers and zero discipline...
00:31:58Won't even qualify as competition.
00:31:59But she recreated Renee's signature dish...
00:32:03And she...
00:32:04Renee was a student.
00:32:06If Renee herself walked in here with the kid holding her apron...
00:32:09They'd never beat me.
00:32:13Right.
00:32:15Renee has had her moment.
00:32:17But...
00:32:18Now she's all burnt out.
00:32:20Rumor has it...
00:32:21She can't even cook anymore.
00:32:23That was her own downfall.
00:32:25As for this competition...
00:32:25You give me enough money...
00:32:28I'll make sure the stage stays mine.
00:32:37Renee...
00:32:37Your liver transplant can't wait any longer.
00:32:40If we delay, the window closes...
00:32:42And recovery gets harder.
00:32:44Much harder.
00:32:45I know.
00:32:46I know.
00:32:47Thank you, Tina.
00:32:50Mom!
00:32:52I got the money!
00:32:53We can start your surgery right away!
00:32:55And guess what?
00:32:57I found Dad!
00:32:59Okay.
00:32:59Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:33:00Sweetheart, slow down.
00:33:02Tell Mommy.
00:33:02How did you find Dad?
00:33:03Mom, I saw him.
00:33:05For real.
00:33:06And he's super handsome.
00:33:07His name is Leon.
00:33:09His restaurant is literally called Renee.
00:33:12So he has to be my dad.
00:33:16He's my name.
00:33:18Could it really be him?
00:33:19I mean, but Renee, it's not that rare Renee made it.
00:33:24It could just be a coincidence.
00:33:27Could it?
00:33:34Leon.
00:33:35I'm so sorry.
00:33:36I lost to Carter.
00:33:38My hands.
00:33:38I can't cook anymore.
00:33:40You deserve a partner who can stand beside you.
00:33:42Not someone who drags your restaurant down.
00:33:45Why would Cat run to the hospital alone?
00:33:48Why wouldn't she call us?
00:33:52Renee, we're so into.
00:33:54Zack, step on it.
00:33:56Now!
00:34:00Mommy!
00:34:03Somebody help me, Mom!
00:34:05You can't breathe!
00:34:07Please!
00:34:122-6, female 28.
00:34:14SPO2 is tanking acute hepatitis failure.
00:34:17We're out of time.
00:34:18We've got to go now.
00:34:23It's okay, Mom.
00:34:25I'm right here.
00:34:26You're not alone.
00:34:26Come on.
00:34:30She's critical.
00:34:31We need to get her to surgery right now.
00:34:35Katherine!
00:34:44Daddy!
00:34:45Tell her what happened.
00:34:47Mom, it's okay, sweetheart.
00:34:49It's okay.
00:34:49Daddy, you have to save Mommy.
00:34:51She can't breathe.
00:34:54She's critical.
00:34:54We have to get her to surgery now.
00:34:57Please.
00:34:57Do whatever you can.
00:34:58Get her to surgery immediately.
00:35:04Yes, I've been searching for you for six years.
00:35:10Now your hands have happened.
00:35:11We need to move.
00:35:12Now.
00:35:13Please do whatever you can to save her.
00:35:30The surgery went smoothly.
00:35:31She's stable now.
00:35:32No talking.
00:35:34You need to rest.
00:35:36From this moment on, we stay together.
00:35:39Okay?
00:35:40No more running.
00:35:40No more losing each other.
00:35:42We're a family.
00:35:43I'm never letting go of you again.
00:35:48Hey.
00:35:50Time for your second dose.
00:36:03Renee, I think it's time that you told me what really happened six years ago.
00:36:09Uh, it was the final round of the golden fork.
00:36:12It was just Carter and me.
00:36:14And his assistant accidentally poured a pot of boiling oil.
00:36:19And my entire station went into flames.
00:36:21My hands burned so badly that I never thought I'd be able to cook again.
00:36:26Accidentally?
00:36:27No, Carter plays dirty.
00:36:29He always has.
00:36:30Of course he tried to sabotage the only chef who could beat him.
00:36:33Well, a chef without her hands is nothing.
00:36:37And...
00:36:38I couldn't drag you into it, so I just left.
00:36:41Renee, you've never been a burden to me.
00:36:44Losing you was, but you're here now.
00:36:46You and Catherine.
00:36:48And I'm never letting go of either of you again.
00:36:51Boss.
00:36:52Urgent.
00:36:53James and Carter just held a joint press conference.
00:36:56Carter will represent the Mason group in the 2026 Golden Fork competition.
00:37:06That's the bad guy who hurt Mommy!
00:37:08I'll beat him myself!
00:37:10Okay, sweetie, it's okay.
00:37:11I've kept this apart for six years.
00:37:13I'm just gonna pay for every second of it.
00:37:23Finally!
00:37:24A dinner with Mommy and Daddy!
00:37:26I'm the luckiest kid ever!
00:37:36I can't taste anything.
00:37:40What?
00:37:43Mommy?
00:37:44Daddy?
00:37:45I think I lost my taste.
00:37:52James sent rats into my house.
00:37:58Sarah!
00:38:01You poisoned my daughter?
00:38:02No, sir. I didn't.
00:38:04I would never do anything like that.
00:38:06Save the lies!
00:38:10The last dish I had before I lost my taste came from you.
00:38:13And Hugo.
00:38:14Okay, you not only betrayed me, but you sabotaged my entire kitchen.
00:38:17James forced me to!
00:38:19He said it was a special flavor and answer.
00:38:21I needed the money!
00:38:22Please, Mr. Hines!
00:38:23I would never do anything like that!
00:38:27Out!
00:38:27Go!
00:38:28Go!
00:38:33Yo, who's calling?
00:38:34Shut your damn mouth.
00:38:36You talking to my daughter?
00:38:37You fed her poison?
00:38:38Criminal.
00:38:40So, the little bastard lost her taste too.
00:38:43Great!
00:38:44Your maid did excellent work.
00:38:45Now tell me, who's cooking for you now?
00:38:48You're done.
00:38:50Daddy!
00:38:50Mommy!
00:38:51What can you do?
00:38:53Dory!
00:38:53I'm back on my feet now.
00:38:55And I promise I'm going to take care of you.
00:38:58I'm going to take care of this whole family.
00:39:01I will win.
00:39:03I have to.
00:39:15Look around.
00:39:17This place is crawling with world-class chefs.
00:39:20And we're really letting a little brat compete again?
00:39:23Why not?
00:39:24Half the chefs here can't even hold a candle to Kat.
00:39:35So, where's your tiny prodigy, Leon?
00:39:39Oh, wait.
00:39:41She's not coming, right?
00:39:43That's none of your business.
00:39:44James, maybe worry about your own chefs first.
00:39:48Kat beat every expensive master you hired.
00:39:52I was tricked last time.
00:39:54This round, totally different.
00:39:56I said we'd win.
00:39:57That hasn't changed.
00:39:59Leon, you just don't get it, do you?
00:40:19Master Carter?
00:40:20Oh, God.
00:40:21Master Carter's the reigning champion.
00:40:23With Rene gone, he's basically the undisputed number one.
00:40:26Now, who's cooking for you, Leon?
00:40:29Is it the taste-blind chef or the 70-year-old grandma?
00:40:36Watch your mess.
00:40:40With Carter here, Top Chef has basically already decided.
00:40:44Rene lost to him once in her final match.
00:40:46Rene was way stronger.
00:40:47Everybody knows Carter.
00:40:48He plays dirty.
00:40:49Like I said, Top Chef and Top Restaurant.
00:40:53Both are mine this year.
00:40:56Why don't you two do yourselves a favor?
00:40:59Walk out now.
00:41:01Carter has sabotaged more chefs than I can count.
00:41:04He's poisoned the entire industry.
00:41:06Should've been banned years ago.
00:41:07Cooking isn't just about skill.
00:41:09It's about influence.
00:41:10Who eats your food?
00:41:12My clients include presidents and heads of state.
00:41:15Even the president books three months ahead.
00:41:17You think you could beat me?
00:41:19Ridiculous.
00:41:20Celebrate too early.
00:41:41You.
00:41:42What are you doing here?
00:41:45Your hands?
00:41:47That's impossible.
00:41:48They were destroyed.
00:41:49Then maybe you underestimated what I'm capable of.
00:42:04No.
00:42:05Your hands.
00:42:05They shouldn't even be functioning.
00:42:07And yet here I am.
00:42:08Fully healed.
00:42:09And fully ready.
00:42:10And this time, Carter, you're not gonna lay a single trap.
00:42:13Trap or no trap, I'd break you either way.
00:42:16Look at this lineup.
00:42:17We have the comeback has-been or the pint-sized wannabe.
00:42:21Do you two really think that you're championship material?
00:42:24Say one more word.
00:42:26Try me.
00:42:27Relax, Daddy Leon.
00:42:30Since you're so confident, how about we make a little wager?
00:42:33If you lose, you sell Heinz Group to me 30 cents on the dollar.
00:42:39And if you lose every injury, every scar, all the humiliation that you caused, Renee, I'll return to you in
00:42:46tenfold.
00:42:46And this time, Carter, I'm gonna finish what I started.
00:42:49Mom, she'll let me through the real life in us.
00:43:01Renee, save yourself the humiliation.
00:43:04Walk away while you still can.
00:43:05Intimidation isn't a strategy, Carter.
00:43:08You can always try harder.
00:43:09That signature Renee ego.
00:43:11Let's see if it's aged well or just expired.
00:43:20Welcome to the 2026 Golden Fork competition.
00:43:29Round one theme, Ryujin Lemon.
00:43:32Only the top four chefs move forward.
00:43:37Ryujin lemons are a molecular nightmare.
00:43:40If anyone can tame them, it's you, Renee.
00:43:42The stage was built for you. Go own it.
00:43:45Round one.
00:43:46Begin!
00:43:59I can't even see his hands. They're moving so fast.
00:44:02This heat is over 200 degrees Celsius.
00:44:06This is the real master.
00:44:08Master Carter is on fire today.
00:44:10I don't think Renee can beat him.
00:44:12Wait, she's doing the same thing.
00:44:14Her hands are moving just as fast.
00:44:17But her hands were ruined before.
00:44:20How can she move so fast?
00:44:23That's my wife. Always does the impossible.
00:44:34Carter is done. Final time. 55 minutes.
00:44:50Master Carter is in God mode today.
00:44:54The Ryujin Lemon typically takes eight to 24 hours to make.
00:44:57Finishing in one hour? That's impressive.
00:45:00But can Renee finish in time?
00:45:09Time's up. Mr. Harrods, please.
00:45:13Ha! She finished right on the buzzer.
00:45:16No way that the quality will hold up.
00:45:30Cold. Sour. Sweet. Crisp. Every layer is here.
00:45:35Carter's Lemon is textbook excellence.
00:45:40The cut. The color. Pure master class.
00:45:44This is what real Top Chef looks like.
00:45:47If Carter trained me, I'd be unstoppable.
00:45:56Why did he freeze? Is something wrong?
00:46:00Must be a texture problem.
00:46:02Renee rushed too much.
00:46:06Leon, you let your wife cook like that?
00:46:09On a global livestream?
00:46:11Ha! Bold move.
00:46:13Relax.
00:46:14I remember my six-year-old daughter destroyed half your team.
00:46:21This is art. The curve is natural. The flavor is alive.
00:46:26Every detail is crafted with soul.
00:46:36Both dishes are excellent.
00:46:41But Renee's dish has artistry and balance.
00:46:45Death and heart.
00:46:47Round winner, Renee.
00:46:53That's my wife. Always untouchable.
00:46:55Renee Champion! Renee Champion!
00:47:02So, the burned hands still work. What a miracle.
00:47:06My hands are fine. It's your ego that needs the ER.
00:47:10You're bold today.
00:47:12No. Just honest. And your threats?
00:47:15Caranoise.
00:47:16Let's see how long that confidence lasts.
00:47:19Grand finale. Fish, main dish.
00:47:22Three elite judges.
00:47:23Ten points. Max.
00:47:26Hold on.
00:47:27I'm adding a wager.
00:47:28Let's turn this into a death match.
00:47:31Again?
00:47:32Same trick. Same pathetic intimidation.
00:47:34This time I won't back down.
00:47:36I have my daughter.
00:47:37My husband.
00:47:38And my entire group behind me.
00:47:40So go ahead. Bring it.
00:47:42If you lose, I'll take your eyes.
00:47:45I'll make sure today's the last time you ever see a kitchen.
00:47:55I knew it.
00:47:56Carter loves these stupid death match rules.
00:47:59And after this, he'll probably crush everyone again.
00:48:02Walk away now. If you want to continue, you better start practicing crook and blind.
00:48:12You're sick.
00:48:13You've ruined this industry for years.
00:48:15Renee, I'll be generous.
00:48:17I'll give you three seconds to decide.
00:48:19You're nothing but a thug.
00:48:21This is straight up extortion.
00:48:23Say it out loud.
00:48:24You're scared.
00:48:25I mean, go on.
00:48:26Quit.
00:48:28You...
00:48:28Three...
00:48:31Two...
00:48:31One.
00:48:33Renee, are you sure you want to continue?
00:48:37Well, what a pity.
00:48:39If someone quits, this year's champion is automatically...
00:48:43Hold on!
00:48:45Who said I'm quitting?
00:48:48Yes.
00:48:50Carter.
00:48:51Carter, I'm not backing down.
00:48:53Not today.
00:48:54Not ever.
00:49:00No.
00:49:01Renee, are you out of your mind?
00:49:03If you lose to Carter, your career is over as a chef.
00:49:07And what about us?
00:49:08Heinz Group could be bought out at 30% of its value.
00:49:10What do you expect us to do?
00:49:12Post bake sales?
00:49:14Renee, your hand's just healed, okay?
00:49:16It's fine if you walk away.
00:49:17No one won't blame you.
00:49:18No.
00:49:19Leanne, I'm not running away.
00:49:20I'm fighting.
00:49:22For you.
00:49:23For you.
00:49:23For our daughter.
00:49:25And for myself.
00:49:29Heinz Culinary Group stays in.
00:49:33Leon, you're insane!
00:49:35A gambler with no chips left.
00:49:37How entertaining.
00:49:39Let's see how long that pride of yours lasts this time.
00:49:42Awesome, please.
00:49:42We can't do this.
00:49:43It's suicide!
00:49:44Enough!
00:49:45Okay, I trust her.
00:49:46Whatever the price, I stand with her.
00:49:50Renee, whatever you choose,
00:49:52I'll be right beside you.
00:49:58Well, well.
00:50:00Renee Parker decides to crawl back into my arena.
00:50:04Still hungry for a death match?
00:50:06Cut the nonsense.
00:50:07Are you competing?
00:50:08Or are you just here to bark?
00:50:10Master Renee, is this really your call?
00:50:13Renee, one wrong move and we all go down with you.
00:50:16Let's get the record straight.
00:50:18Back then, I was Carter's student.
00:50:20Six years ago, I didn't lose.
00:50:22I was sabotaged.
00:50:24Someone dropped boiling oil all over my station.
00:50:28Accidentally!
00:50:29If not for that, the golden fork would have been mine.
00:50:31Still traumatized.
00:50:33Walk away then.
00:50:34Save yourself.
00:50:34I don't run from cowards.
00:50:36Start the round.
00:50:38You're bold today.
00:50:40Entertaining, but stupid.
00:50:43Final round.
00:50:45Fish.
00:50:46Main dish.
00:50:4735 minutes.
00:50:49Timer starts.
00:50:50Now!
00:51:04They're neck and neck.
00:51:06Incredible.
00:51:07Don't get your hopes up.
00:51:08No one has touched Carter in over a decade.
00:51:21Rene!
00:51:27Rene!
00:51:28Rene!
00:51:33Immersion pods!
00:51:35Stop the round!
00:51:36Now!
00:51:39You pathetic, talentless rat!
00:51:41You can't win so you maim people!
00:51:43No, please.
00:51:44If she can't control her tools, why is that my problem?
00:51:47Mocking injury?
00:51:48Made competition?
00:51:50Is this the circus now?
00:51:52Should I juggle to match the theme?
00:51:54Rene, listen to me.
00:51:55This is a concussion.
00:51:56You cannot continue cooking like this.
00:51:59I'm fine.
00:52:01It's nothing.
00:52:02How does a tenderizer fly off someone's station?
00:52:05At that speed?
00:52:06Because he threw it!
00:52:08Snake can't win without having someone bleed for him.
00:52:14If the impact hit your optic nerve, you could go blind.
00:52:17Rene, one wrong move and your career is over.
00:52:20I'm still seeing.
00:52:23It's only me.
00:52:35Drop the tough act.
00:52:38One wrong move.
00:52:39That eye goes dark for good.
00:52:42No more kitchen.
00:52:43No more future.
00:52:44You only get to see your daughter's face again.
00:53:01Look at you. Barely standing.
00:53:03This isn't cooking.
00:53:05This is a countdown to your collapse.
00:53:14Key fighting chef.
00:53:15The universe loves a tragic hero.
00:53:30She can't see straight.
00:53:32She's in real danger.
00:53:33Carter's won this.
00:53:35It's done.
00:53:43Move.
00:53:45Move.
00:53:46And move.
00:53:47Faster.
00:53:47Come on.
00:53:50I'm finished.
00:53:52Master Carter's dish is complete!
00:54:00Move.
00:54:01Move.
00:54:02Come on.
00:54:04Master Carter's dish is complete!
00:54:05The station.
00:54:06No, Renee.
00:54:07You still believe effort beats power.
00:54:10My network runs half of this industry.
00:54:12If I say you lose, you lose.
00:54:24Carter, you shameless bastard!
00:54:33That's it.
00:54:34She's done.
00:54:35No heat.
00:54:36No seer.
00:54:37She's finished.
00:54:38This is sabotage.
00:54:39Carter must have planned every second of this.
00:54:43Four minutes, Renee.
00:54:45You couldn't beat me at your peak.
00:54:46Six years later, you think you could magically win now?
00:54:50Maybe go home.
00:54:52Take care of that kid you love so much.
00:54:54I request an immediate reboot.
00:54:56Rematch.
00:54:58Rematch.
00:55:00What is this?
00:55:01A playground?
00:55:02She got hurt because she's slow and sloppy.
00:55:05If every chef cried foul, this competition would be a joke.
00:55:08Per the rules, if Master Renee fails to complete her dish,
00:55:13then this year's champion is automatically.
00:55:15She's cooking wild sablefish without high heat.
00:55:19The flesh will collapse.
00:55:22No texture.
00:55:23No structure.
00:55:23I told you all Renee could never beat Carter, but no one listens to me.
00:55:29There has to be a way.
00:55:31Come on, think, Renee.
00:55:32Think.
00:55:35Renee, even if that cooktop worked again, you've got what?
00:55:39Two minutes?
00:55:41That's not cooking time.
00:55:42It's a joke.
00:55:53The cooktop is now recreated.
00:55:56Master Renee.
00:55:58Please confirm.
00:56:00Do you continue?
00:56:09Maybe...
00:56:11Maybe I don't need my eyes at all.
00:56:13Oh.
00:56:14Fantastic.
00:56:15She's officially lost it.
00:56:16She's pushed too hard.
00:56:17There's no way out of this.
00:56:19Go ahead.
00:56:20Impress me.
00:56:22Two minutes.
00:56:23One room fish.

01:05:32Carter, in the name of the International Culinary Association, you're officially expelled.
01:05:38Every partner, every restaurant, and every league, your name is blacklisted permanently.
01:05:45You're a lunatic.
01:05:47You can't just race.
01:05:49Ten years of receipts.
01:05:51Bribery, rigged scores, tainted plates, board judges, all documented, all exposed.
01:06:03Carter got reported?
01:06:05You're kidding me, right?
01:06:07Damn right he did.
01:06:08That bastard karma finally punched back.
01:06:12Carter, James, you're suspected of bribery and competition fraud.
01:06:17Take them straight to the police.
01:06:19Now.
01:06:20Paul!
01:06:21Buddy, come on, let's talk about this.
01:06:23Do you want to talk?
01:06:25Fantastic.
01:06:25The police station has your hands, buddy.
01:06:28Oh, going somewhere?
01:06:31What?
01:06:32I'm your teacher.
01:06:33You can't do it.
01:06:34And when you tried to destroy my entire life, did the word teacher even cross your mind?
01:06:39You broke our family.
01:06:41You tore us apart for six years.
01:06:42And now, it's time to pay your tab.
01:06:44What do you mean?
01:06:46What are you planning to do to me?
01:06:48You know, plenty of time to think about that when you're behind bars.
01:06:50You'll regret this?
01:06:52All of you!
01:06:53Money?
01:06:54Do it.
01:06:54Access, you.
01:06:55Power.
01:06:56Connections.
01:06:57I can give you everything.
01:06:58Everything!
01:06:58Pathetic.
01:06:59Take them away.
01:07:00Hold it!
01:07:02Carter.
01:07:03Carter.
01:07:04You lost.
01:07:05And we're playing by your rules, right?
01:07:07Life or death match?
01:07:08So I think it's time you honor that.
01:07:10And Master Carter, none of you lay a finger on me.
01:07:14You terrorized young chefs with these bets for years.
01:07:17You destroyed lives.
01:07:19Destroyed careers.
01:07:21Okay, but now, your bill has finally come due.
01:07:26You forget that you slammed this into me?
01:07:28Or is short-term memory loss just part of your personality?
01:07:32I amaze you.
01:07:33You're a nobody from a country shack.
01:07:36You dare surpass me?
01:07:39Everything I did was for my title.
01:07:41Tell me.
01:07:42What did I do wrong?
01:07:43Everything.
01:07:53My head!
01:07:54My head!
01:07:56My head!
01:08:00Oh!
01:08:03I was forced.
01:08:05It was James.
01:08:06He made me.
01:08:07I didn't want to.
01:08:08You're fired.
01:08:10Okay?
01:08:11Effective immediately.
01:08:12And listen close.
01:08:13Every restaurant, every affiliate, every partner under Heinz Group will blacklist you permanently.
01:08:22No!
01:08:23No!
01:08:24No!
01:08:24This can't be happening!
01:08:26This can't be the end!
01:08:28This can't be happening!
01:08:30This can't be the end!
01:08:32Zach!
01:08:32Get her out of here.
01:08:34No!
01:08:35No!
01:08:35No!
01:08:36Please!
01:08:36I shouldn't have snapped at your wife, your daughter, and I shouldn't have listened to that
01:08:40snake, James!
01:08:41Please just give me one more chance!
01:08:43Ladies and gentlemen, the 2026 Golden Fork competition has officially reached its grand
01:08:49finale.
01:08:50Please congratulate Rene Restaurant of the Heinz Culinary Group, this year's top restaurant.
01:09:04And congratulations to Master Rene, crowned this year's top chef.
01:09:16Master Rene, Master Rene, Master Rene!
01:09:22And now, a brand new award, created for someone truly one of a kind.
01:09:28Congratulations to Chef Catherine, winner of the cutest and most promising Baby Chef Award.
01:10:01All right ladies, churros from the friar.
01:10:05One for mommy and one for my princess.
01:10:11It's so good, but still not as good as Mommy's churros.
01:10:15Oh, well if my little chef likes it, then I will make as many churros as you want.
01:10:20She has time. Master Chef Renee is booked until what, next spring?
01:10:26I have the best mom on the entire planet.
01:10:29And Dad. Hello?
01:10:31Dad is the best too.
01:10:34Tomorrow I win a donut, a rainbow slushie, and a candy apple.
01:10:41Whatever Chef Catherine wants.
01:10:44Come here, group hug.
