Transcript
00:00:00I got you this job as a Fool Critic. Think of this as a debt paid.
00:00:08It'd be my honor, boss. Consider it already done. I never thought that fool would try to topple Chef Tony's
00:00:15marks of this city.
00:00:18Of course, if you're not up to the task, then my boys here will do what I pay them to
00:00:28do.
00:00:30If you catch my drift.
00:00:34Got it, Chef. Got it.
00:00:42Salute.
00:00:47Enjoy the best meal of your life.
00:01:00You are so hot when you're in sabotage mode. How are you going to take her down?
00:01:05Beat them at their own game.
00:01:18Well, that's it for our first night.
00:01:24Great. Time to clean up and go to our actual homes.
00:01:32Hey Dash. Chef Nina.
00:01:35An anonymous food blogger posted about home and...
00:01:39It's not good.
00:01:42And while the new restaurant seems to take itself seriously given the pricing...
00:01:46It's the clout of having a Dash of Temptation as their resident pastry chef that makes them cheap.
00:01:52God. See, this is exactly what I was worried about.
00:01:55A review by a faceless person on the internet?
00:01:58Aw, come on. They barely have any followers. They'll go nowhere.
00:02:02Well, how are you so sure that others don't feel the same about...
00:02:06Me?
00:02:09And here I thought we were getting along so well.
00:02:12Well, what do I do to squash it?
00:02:16What if we invite this low-life person in for dinner?
00:02:21Uh, we're booked up for the next six months.
00:02:23Yes.
00:02:29Listen, I know how the internet works.
00:02:33Just get her there to you and you'll blow over.
00:02:39Soon, real reviews from real customers will overshadow this as they shout from the mount on top how good home
00:02:48is.
00:02:49Hmm.
00:02:52I do want to believe you.
00:02:55Simply do so.
00:03:03Nina?
00:03:04Uh, just head home. I'll close up the rest.
00:03:24God, I can really use your advice right now, Papa.
00:03:40My darling princess, what's wrong?
00:03:44I burnt the meal.
00:03:45No.
00:03:48That's okay.
00:03:49Hey, look.
00:03:50You gotta understand.
00:03:51Greatness takes time.
00:03:53It's kind of like waiting for dough to rise.
00:04:02You keep experimenting, Nina.
00:04:04You're gonna be a great chef one day.
00:04:12See?
00:04:12Doesn't that make you feel better?
00:04:16Alright.
00:04:31Did you get home okay?
00:04:36This is home.
00:04:39Where I've only ever belonged.
00:04:50Thanks again for giving me a chance.
00:04:55Yeah, whatever.
00:05:01Am I being too hard on him?
00:05:05He did technically help book out my restaurant for six months.
00:05:14Figured you'd like to see all the reviews tonight from real customers.
00:05:19Such a great experience tonight in the comfort of Nina's new home.
00:05:22Exquisite execution.
00:05:24I'll be back soon if I can get a reservation.
00:05:33A peace offering.
00:05:42It's kind of my brand.
00:05:47It's kind of my brand.
00:05:51Oh my god.
00:05:53Oh my god.
00:06:05He's delicious.
00:06:07I mean the dessert.
00:06:11I don't know.
00:06:15I'm deep.
00:06:23Babe, where are you going so early?
00:06:25Time for a little manipulation tactic for our little special mission.
00:06:29You're a little devil, aren't you?
00:06:31I know how to warm her up just to leave her in the cold.
00:06:33Oh my god.
00:06:50Perfect timing.
00:06:53This is all the crap you stashed in my drawers and littered my living room with.
00:07:00Where's my stuff?
00:07:01Let's focus on apologies rather than your overreaction to a silly little mishap.
00:07:06Oh, you are such an asshole.
00:07:09Oh wait, I know what's going on.
00:07:11You're in a mood because of that terrible review by some online food influencer.
00:07:14That must have really stung.
00:07:16Ouch.
00:07:17That little thing?
00:07:18We're gonna get notable reviews from actual professionals.
00:07:22Just you wait.
00:07:25You'll never make it without me or my connections as a food critic.
00:07:29Yeah?
00:07:30And you'll never survive on Christie's overly sweet desserts.
00:07:33Time to up the insulin.
00:07:41Shit, what if he's right?
00:07:44I mean, Axel's the best food critic in town and without him on my side, how am I gonna get
00:07:50notable reviews?
00:07:56Hi.
00:07:58Hey, boss.
00:07:59How's it hanging?
00:08:01Uh, great, great.
00:08:03Just cleaning up.
00:08:04Fun.
00:08:06Is it okay if I pick up a few things for tonight's desserts?
00:08:09All the items there are what your previous chef had ordered.
00:08:12Oh, right.
00:08:13Yeah, go for it.
00:08:15Alright.
00:08:16See you tonight, then.
00:08:18Excited to see what you whip up!
00:08:24Ugh, why did I say that?
00:08:27Gross.
00:08:40Oops.
00:08:41Oh, boy.
00:08:44Yeah, that's...
00:08:45That's what I need right now.
00:08:47Ugh.
00:08:52Want some coffee?
00:08:54Sure.
00:08:55Cream?
00:08:56Sugar?
00:08:56No sugar!
00:08:59Geez, okay.
00:09:00Calm down.
00:09:04Tony's new menu shows the kind of sophistication that many of his rivals would sell their soul to copy.
00:09:16I need to hit harder!
00:09:26Welcome to your new home.
00:09:28Hi, yes.
00:09:29I'd like to make a reservation for tonight.
00:09:31I'm sorry, sir, but we are booked up six months in advance.
00:09:35What?!
00:09:35Would you like to-
00:09:37Go!
00:09:44I still have to give your things back, don't I, Nina?
00:09:53I said no sugar!
00:10:04Is this what I think it is?
00:10:05Uh-huh.
00:10:14Uh-huh.
00:10:16Got what you needed?
00:10:17Yes, Chef.
00:10:18It's gonna be delicious.
00:10:25Everyone, let's get ready for a busy night!
00:10:51Flamboyant, untalented daddy's little witch boy.
00:10:55Ha!
00:10:56Ha!
00:10:57Ha!
00:10:57Ha!
00:10:59Time to drop off your stuff, Nina.
00:11:16Time to drop off your stuff, Nina.
00:11:17I hope you can swim, Nina.
00:11:21Cuddle this bitch!
00:11:32Yes, sir.
00:11:33Yes, sir.
00:11:34Yes, sir.
00:11:35No running!
00:11:38Hey, watch it, babe!
00:11:42I need to get home and start baking.
00:11:45I need to get home and start baking.
00:11:45Yeah, hi.
00:11:46I'd like to report a citation.
00:12:03How's the uni pasta with caviar, Vakim?
00:12:13How's the uni pasta with caviar, Vakim?
00:12:18Oh, look up.
00:12:19The entire dining room is flooded.
00:12:26I got called for a health code citation.
00:12:30Whoa.
00:12:30This restaurant is shut down and inspected immediately.
00:12:36Are you the owner?
00:12:37Uh, I am.
00:12:38I have to give you a failing grade.
00:12:40What?
00:12:40No, a failing grade.
00:12:41Look, I have never.
00:12:42Hang on.
00:12:43Inspector?
00:12:47Theo.
00:12:48Theo?
00:12:50I don't like that name.
00:12:52I like you.
00:12:54I mean, I've watched all your videos and all.
00:12:58Uh, can you give us a few hours to figure out what happened before you give our chef her
00:13:05first failing grade?
00:13:07It means a lot to me.
00:13:10For you, anything.
00:13:14I'll give you some dessert on the house, of course, as a thank you.
00:13:17Oh, I can't take bribes.
00:13:19It's not a bribe.
00:13:21A bribe would be me feeding you dessert myself.
00:13:25I can take bribes.
00:13:26I can take all the bribes.
00:13:28I'll be right back with a to-go bag.
00:13:30Thank you for understanding.
00:13:38Chef Tony.
00:13:40It's been handled.
00:13:42They'll be shut down.
00:13:44Well done, Axel.
00:13:46You've proven to be invaluable to me.
00:13:49What can I say?
00:13:51It's the least I can do.
00:13:51Hey, tell me, what's a food critic job paying these days?
00:13:57I get by.
00:14:00How'd you like to make a little extra?
00:14:02Come work for my restaurant's management team.
00:14:07But wouldn't that, uh, conflicted my current job?
00:14:10You worry too much.
00:14:12Let me handle that.
00:14:17What are you thinking?
00:14:20The flood didn't just happen on its own.
00:14:23The cameras might have caught the perpetrator.
00:14:26So you're thinking that someone did this on purpose?
00:14:30Where's the security feed?
00:14:33Oh, um.
00:14:39What's this?
00:14:42Oh my god!
00:14:42That's my ex-fiance!
00:14:45Oh!
00:14:46Mm-hmm.
00:14:50This is my ex-fiance, Axel.
00:14:52He's the food critic for the paper, but apparently, our saboteur.
00:14:58That is so unethical.
00:15:01Who called in the citation?
00:15:03All I know is that it was a man.
00:15:06Recognize this number?
00:15:09Oh, that's Axel's number.
00:15:11God, that little life scum.
00:15:13Okay, call me when you clean up this mess for a proper inspection.
00:15:16Until then, I'll give you a pending grave.
00:15:20Thank you so much.
00:15:23And thank you for the sweet treat.
00:15:27There's more where that came from.
00:15:33What are you doing?
00:15:35Finishing what Axel started.
00:15:39Hello?
00:15:40Yes?
00:15:42Sun News?
00:15:44I'd like to discuss a matter concerning your food critic, Axel Vitti.
00:15:53It's settled.
00:15:54A paper fired Axel.
00:15:56He's gone.
00:15:58We're safe.
00:16:01Don't underestimate Axel.
00:16:04This might have started something worse.
00:16:07I got you.
00:16:08I promise.
00:16:12Too bad home will have to go into foreclosure after its humiliating health inspection.
00:16:25Hello, editor?
00:16:26Yes.
00:16:27I just got the juiciest.
00:16:30What?
00:16:32No, what?
00:16:33You can't fire me!
00:16:34What?
00:16:34No!
00:16:39I'll kill them!
00:16:40I'll kill them!
00:16:41Oh, fuck!
00:16:42Chef Tony's gonna kill me!
00:16:51Let me cheer you up.
00:16:54Can I make you something that always cheers me up?
00:16:59I don't need your chocolate and charm.
00:17:01No.
00:17:02This is off the venue.
00:17:05Sure.
00:17:06I mean, I have to be here anyway until the cleaning crew shows up.
00:17:09Mind if I record?
00:17:10All duty and all.
00:17:12Okay, how about it, partner?
00:17:24Chef Tony.
00:17:31Join me.
00:17:49There's something that you should know about.
00:17:51Tell me my restaurant's gonna be on the front page this Sunday.
00:17:56About that, I may have gotten fired from the paper tonight because I was trying to shut down home.
00:18:05Are you fucking with me?
00:18:08No, Chef.
00:18:09But I wanted to see if, you know, the offer still stood to become a part of your, you know,
00:18:13team's restaurant management.
00:18:19You know, the money would really help me right now.
00:18:22And I could have really used that prestigious review and for home to be squashed.
00:18:27Like you promised.
00:18:29I'll make it up to you.
00:18:31Portatelo via.
00:18:33If it's a job you want, then my boys here will put you to work.
00:18:41Why did you name the restaurant home?
00:18:50Because I grew up in my father's pizzeria.
00:18:54That's where I learned to cook, in his kitchen.
00:18:57For me, that restaurant was home.
00:19:03I'm envious of you.
00:19:05Says the guy who comes from coronary royalty.
00:19:08Well, unlike you, I wasn't allowed in my father's kitchen.
00:19:14What? Why?
00:19:16My father never thought I had potential.
00:19:23But, he also never gave me a chance to prove him wrong.
00:19:27I haven't made this dessert for anyone else before.
00:19:31It's my, um...
00:19:34Well, never mind.
00:19:36What a pity.
00:19:38Uh, wait.
00:19:41Join me.
00:19:45You've had a hard night.
00:19:47It's all yours.
00:19:48So, what's the story behind it?
00:19:51It's the dessert my mother used to make me when I cried.
00:19:56She said it was like a hug on a plate.
00:20:00Well, does she still make it for you?
00:20:02No.
00:20:03She died before my 13th birthday.
00:20:07And afterwards, my father resented having to babysit me while at the restaurant.
00:20:15I'm sorry.
00:20:16It's okay.
00:20:18Because of that, I've learned other skills.
00:20:22Skills that earned me a fan base.
00:20:24Your videos are really good.
00:20:27So, you do subscribe to my profile?
00:20:29No.
00:20:30I mean, I...
00:20:31You ghost watch?
00:20:34Guilty.
00:20:35God, I'm so embarrassed.
00:20:37Give me your phone.
00:20:40No.
00:20:42No.
00:20:46Now, we both follow each other.
00:20:49I can't let you go.
00:20:50There's no way.
00:20:52I'm already so...
00:20:54Still burning.
00:20:56Let me make you feel better.
00:21:00Yes.
00:21:04Mmm.
00:21:05Oh my...
00:21:06Is it alright?
00:21:07It's been such a long time since I made it and...
00:21:09No, no, no.
00:21:10That...
00:21:11Is the best dessert I've ever had in my life.
00:21:15You had me sweating here.
00:21:17I put this on my menu.
00:21:19Sure.
00:21:20Yeah.
00:21:21Go for it.
00:21:22Well, what should it be called?
00:21:27Childhood.
00:21:30Childhood?
00:21:31That's...
00:21:32That's everything home is about.
00:21:37Having doubts?
00:21:39No.
00:21:41It's just...
00:21:42I've never felt so soon...
00:21:45Before.
00:21:52Need a bridge, Ellie?
00:21:54Uh...
00:21:55Yeah, that's me.
00:21:56Can you show us where the water's coming from?
00:21:59Absolutely.
00:22:00Follow me.
00:22:01Uh...
00:22:01I will be right back.
00:22:02I got some videos to edit, so...
00:22:04I'll be gone in a bit.
00:22:06Oh, uh...
00:22:07Yeah, of course.
00:22:08I'll leave this for you to finish.
00:22:12Ma'am.
00:22:13Ma'am.
00:22:15The day of the night...
00:22:16Is that the image?
00:22:16Yes.
00:22:17Uh...
00:22:17Yes.
00:22:17Right away.
00:22:29Oh, damn.
00:22:30It was in there deep.
00:22:32Got it.
00:22:34Fucking bastard!
00:22:44Inspector Theo's just about to call you.
00:22:48What?
00:22:49What do you mean home's going viral?
00:22:53I'm all grown up now.
00:22:55But you're never too old to enjoy your childhood.
00:22:58Come home.
00:22:59It's the only place this will be served.
00:23:04Holy fuck, I'm in love.
00:23:12Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:23:14He cannot see me like this.
00:23:25You passed.
00:23:27Excellent work.
00:23:29Thank you, Theo.
00:23:32Okay, I know there's a six month wait.
00:23:34But do you think...
00:23:36For you?
00:23:38Oh...
00:23:39I can't wait for a second.
00:23:43Okay, that's it.
00:23:44I will see you both soon.
00:23:48You are dangerously good at that.
00:23:52At what?
00:23:54Making people fall for you.
00:23:58Um...
00:23:58Maybe we should start prepping now that we can reopen.
00:24:02Prepping?
00:24:03Yeah, yeah.
00:24:04That's, uh...
00:24:05That's great.
00:24:07Okay.
00:24:13This is boring.
00:24:15Is anyone hungry?
00:24:16I made strawberry cream filled white chocolate donuts.
00:24:19What, are you trying to give us a heart attack, woman?
00:24:21At some point, you're going to have to eat what I make for you.
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:25Over my dead body.
00:24:27Okay, you two shut the fuck up before I kill you both.
00:24:30Just knock it off.
00:24:32Wait, is that him?
00:24:33Oh.
00:24:35Oh.
00:24:36Oh.
00:24:38Oh.
00:24:40That's him, alright.
00:24:41Alright.
00:24:42Grab your tool.
00:24:43Let's go.
00:24:44Leave your bitch in the car.
00:24:53Ungrateful assholes.
00:24:57Hey, buddy.
00:24:58What's up with the A?
00:25:00Oh, uh, they just passed their inspection.
00:25:02I mean, feel free to make a reservation.
00:25:03Yeah, our boss isn't going to like that.
00:25:05Mm-hmm.
00:25:05What do you think we should do?
00:25:08Whoa, whoa, I'm just doing my job.
00:25:10Yeah, so are we.
00:25:11Maybe we can discuss this?
00:25:13Yeah, you can discuss it with Chef Tony later.
00:25:15Is the girl still in there?
00:25:16What?
00:25:17Yeah, no!
00:25:18I mean, maybe we can help you remember.
00:25:20No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:25:26How about now?
00:25:33That's it.
00:25:34I will not have my food denied and possibly go to jail because of your antics.
00:25:37It's over between us.
00:25:39You're dead weight anyways, woman.
00:25:48No, no, no, no, no!
00:25:50No, no, no, no!
00:25:54So what is it then?
00:25:59She's inside.
00:26:08I have to go to the market to get a few things.
00:26:11Do you need anything?
00:26:12I'm all set.
00:26:13Thanks, boss.
00:26:16Hey, Nina?
00:26:18Yeah?
00:26:20I, um...
00:26:21See you when you get back.
00:26:24Yeah.
00:26:25Bye.
00:26:29Smooth.
00:26:31Real smooth.
00:26:39Son.
00:26:40Father.
00:26:41I'm in your city for business and I want to meet up.
00:26:43You couldn't have given me a heads up that you'd be in town?
00:26:46It's last minute.
00:26:47A big tuna auction was just announced.
00:26:50How much are you going to lay down this time, father?
00:26:53One million?
00:26:54Two?
00:26:55I don't know how many will fit on my private plane.
00:26:57Meet me in the market.
00:26:58One p.m.
00:27:00I'll have my station to prep.
00:27:02I control your funds.
00:27:04I doubt your little dessert job would cover your bills if that's all you had to live on.
00:27:09The market.
00:27:10One p.m.
00:27:19Morning, sweetie.
00:27:24Oh my...
00:27:25He's hurt badly.
00:27:29Hey, how did this happen?
00:27:35How about you come with us, sweetie?
00:27:37Or the health inspector?
00:27:38We'll have to crawl back to the hospital.
00:27:48The health inspector.
00:27:48Oh my God.
00:27:54I'm sorry.
00:27:55I'm sorry.
00:27:55I'm sorry.
00:27:56I'm sorry.
00:28:01How about you?
00:28:01I know.
00:28:02I know.
00:28:03I know.
00:28:03How do you know the difference?
00:28:05You turned it into content, smeared her memory all over the internet, then had the audacity
00:28:11to put it on the menu.
00:28:12No.
00:28:13Chef Nina put it on the menu.
00:28:16Then she's a fool.
00:28:17You're not talented enough to recreate it.
00:28:20You've never tried anything I've made.
00:28:23How would you know?
00:28:25I'm not foolish enough to let you ruin my taste buds.
00:28:29This conversation is done.
00:28:32Take it off the menu, or I cut off your funding.
00:28:50Fuck you Axel!
00:28:53If only you had.
00:28:54You tried ruining my restaurant!
00:28:56Don't worry, I'll succeed somehow.
00:29:01Who are these goons?
00:29:04My clean up crew.
00:29:08Mosa.
00:29:12You've met Chef Tony, right?
00:29:15You've met Chef Tony, right?
00:29:19So this little thing's been making all that noise, huh?
00:29:26Your restaurant has been taking attention away from mine.
00:29:31Why would someone critically acclaimed as you be worried about my little restaurant, do you?
00:29:35Oh ho ho ho.
00:29:36Oh little.
00:29:38Little, listen to the Joker here.
00:29:40Alright.
00:29:41That's funny.
00:29:42Huh?
00:29:42Tell me about that.
00:29:45What do you want?
00:29:47I want you to shut down your restaurant.
00:29:51Before you tell me about business and such, just understand.
00:29:55I'm a stand up guy.
00:29:57Alright?
00:29:58I will pay you handsomely to shut your business down and just go back to making pizzas.
00:30:05Didn't that sound nice?
00:30:08What if I don't?
00:30:09I'll have Axel here to cut off your hand.
00:30:14It's pretty hard to cook with only one hand, don't you think?
00:30:17Fuck you!
00:30:19That's not nice.
00:30:20Help!
00:30:23Help!
00:30:27It's Nina!
00:30:31Tatavis?
00:30:35Help!
00:30:36Help!
00:30:36Help!
00:30:36No!
00:30:36Help, no!
00:30:40Help!
00:30:57Tony, how you doing, old friend?
00:31:00Oh, no.
00:31:01It's all right.
00:31:02I don't meddle in this kind of business deal.
00:31:04Help her out some.
00:31:05Lotto, I haven't tried your restaurants yet, but I hear great things.
00:31:10Don't worry.
00:31:12I don't take your absence personally.
00:31:14It's quite refreshing, actually.
00:31:17It's been, what, 30 years since culinary school?
00:31:21Time flies when you're as successful as me.
00:31:25I see you're still fighting your way through the competition.
00:31:30I don't regret it.
00:31:32I don't expect you to, but to try to do the same to a woman, that's a new low, even
00:31:38for you.
00:31:40I don't know what you're talking about.
00:31:41I'm so sorry.
00:31:43Hey, hey, Nina.
00:31:44Nina, wake up.
00:31:46Wake up, come on.
00:31:47Wake up.
00:31:48Wake up.
00:32:00Am I in heaven?
00:32:02Kind of.
00:32:03We're at the food market.
00:32:07Oh, girl.
00:32:09Where's Tony?
00:32:10My father threatened to reveal Tony's illegal workings if he ever try to hurt you again.
00:32:15Oh.
00:32:16Well, where's your father?
00:32:17I need to thank him.
00:32:19He left for a fish auction.
00:32:21Do you think you can walk?
00:32:30Oh, my God.
00:32:33I'm so sorry.
00:32:39Hello?
00:32:41This is he?
00:32:44Oh, uh, thanks for letting me know.
00:32:47No, there's no cause for concern.
00:32:50What was that?
00:32:53Nothing.
00:32:56Come on.
00:32:57I'm going to finish your shopping.
00:32:59The restaurant's about to open.
00:33:01I'm sure Axel's not going to come back for us.
00:33:05He's a little tied up at the moment.
00:33:15No.
00:33:22Oh, my God.
00:33:39Hey guys.
00:33:53Thanks again for saving me.
00:33:56It's the least I could do.
00:33:57Does it hurt?
00:34:00Not as much as it would hurt you to lose your hand.
00:34:05My career would be over.
00:34:08I hate to ask, but I was wondering when I could expect my first check.
00:34:14Next Friday, do you need any dance?
00:34:17Thank you. I was just curious.
00:34:22Mind if I do a short video before we open?
00:34:26I'll give you a pass for today's world of actions.
00:34:37Hey guys, how you doing?
00:34:39Today I'll show you how to decorate the perfect cake.
00:34:44Starting off with...
00:34:48Starting off with...
00:34:51Doors are open!
00:35:01You're my favorite part.
00:35:04Hey...
00:35:04We're open now so...
00:35:06Let's focus, okay?
00:35:08You gotta check.
00:35:26I'm fine.
00:35:28I can't wait.
00:35:28I'm fine.
00:35:29No, hey.
00:35:29I'm happy to help those who help me.
00:35:31We're a team.
00:35:33We're a team.
00:35:33I got you.
00:35:39First order.
00:35:40First order.
00:35:46Please, please, Chef Tony.
00:35:48Please, I beg you.
00:35:49I beg you.
00:35:50Why shouldn't I punish you after today's fiasco?
00:35:53No, no, no.
00:35:54I promise you.
00:35:54I promise you.
00:35:55I promise you.
00:35:55I can destroy her restaurant for good.
00:35:56If you just give me a second chance, please.
00:35:58I don't believe you.
00:36:00And I don't believe in second chances.
00:36:02No, no, no, no.
00:36:02Not for me.
00:36:03Not for me.
00:36:03For her restaurant.
00:36:05I can drain her from the inside out.
00:36:20Chef Nina.
00:36:21I'm so sorry, but I have a family emergency and I have to leave.
00:36:25Like, forever.
00:36:28Oh my goodness.
00:36:30Yeah, go, but I'm really sorry to hear that.
00:36:33Do you have your tables covered?
00:36:35I do.
00:36:36Thanks.
00:36:38What was the...
00:36:41Chef Nina?
00:36:42Who's covering the front?
00:36:43What do you mean the hostess is?
00:36:46She's not there anymore.
00:36:47Wait.
00:36:49What?
00:36:50What?
00:36:53She just bounced.
00:36:55Something about another restaurant that's offered her double the pay?
00:37:02Ah, actually, I'm having a family emergency.
00:37:05I really need to go.
00:37:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:37:07no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:37:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:37:08Please don't go.
00:37:10Whatever it is, we can work it out.
00:37:12Okay?
00:37:12Look, I have kids to pay for.
00:37:14I'm so sorry.
00:37:35All the meals are ruined.
00:37:37We're going to be backed up for hours.
00:37:40I'm going to need all hands.
00:37:42Okay, front of house just left.
00:37:44So, if you cook a meal, you have to serve it.
00:37:48That is above my pay.
00:38:02I think something's up.
00:38:05Yeah, someone's offering my employees a better paying good.
00:38:09Did you get a text?
00:38:11Even if I did, I'd ignore it.
00:38:17Excuse me.
00:38:18I have a meal to serve.
00:38:26Oh, shit.
00:38:27Now I have to talk to customers.
00:38:41Enjoy.
00:38:42This is the worst service ever.
00:38:46Tell the chef I'm unimpressed.
00:38:47I am the chef.
00:38:50You never came to check on any of the tables.
00:38:54Isn't that what chefs are supposed to do?
00:38:56Parade around in schmooze?
00:39:00Wait, wait, wait.
00:39:02I'm so sorry.
00:39:03You haven't missed your meal.
00:39:05I took an hour to get this course.
00:39:07I lost my appetite.
00:39:09Oh, God.
00:39:12Oh, God.
00:39:24What are you doing?
00:39:27Making sure the customers don't see you crying.
00:39:32God, this is terrible.
00:39:33I mean, my restaurant, it's done.
00:39:36It's finished.
00:39:37It's over.
00:39:43One shrimp salad and toasted bread.
00:39:46Oh, my God.
00:39:47What are you doing?
00:39:48We are prepping the next meal.
00:39:52Come on.
00:39:53We got this.
00:39:56Just tell me what to do, chef.
00:40:09I like the tomatoes cut in half.
00:40:28Now, let's go serve the customers.
00:40:34After you, chef.
00:40:49Oh, no, the landlord.
00:40:52Oh, no, the landlord.
00:40:57Bon appetit.
00:41:02Welcome.
00:41:02I wasn't expecting you.
00:41:05Just got the bill for the recent cleanup.
00:41:08I'm adding that to your rent.
00:41:11You'll be able to afford it, right?
00:41:16Do I need to look for a new tenant?
00:41:21What an asshole.
00:41:29No one has gotten to dessert.
00:41:33Excuse me.
00:41:36This restaurant will definitely not be part of the Busted City competition.
00:42:00I understand if you take the offer.
00:42:03It's not bad.
00:42:05Sit.
00:42:12All is going to work out.
00:42:15I don't need a miracle to happen.
00:42:18Maybe one's coming.
00:42:33This is chef Nina.
00:42:34What?
00:42:38You submitted us to the competition?
00:42:43Did they mention the cash prize?
00:42:46No.
00:42:48They'll pay the rent and the bill.
00:42:52Well, I mean, we have to do everything.
00:42:55We have to cook.
00:42:56We have to serve.
00:42:57And the two of us will be amazing.
00:43:01Well, I'm...
00:43:01The chef's cocktail meeting is tomorrow night, so then I have to cancel reservations and...
00:43:07Tell me what needs to be done, and I'll help you do it.
00:43:11You really think we have a chance at winning it?
00:43:13Nina, you're an amazing chef who's a threat to all the other restaurants in this city.
00:43:21You're...
00:43:22You're getting sabotaged left and right.
00:43:25You know deep down why.
00:43:27Before it's gone.
00:43:37Hey there, Axel.
00:43:39Tony wanted us to deliver this message in person.
00:43:42What's going on?
00:43:42I handled her employees.
00:43:44She's toast.
00:43:46She entered the competition?
00:43:56Pretty empty at this hour.
00:43:59Want to take back your stance on the dessert?
00:44:02Just say the word and the money will go back into your account.
00:44:06Everything's going to work out.
00:44:09Take a look around, son.
00:44:12You can't live off of this failure.
00:44:16I have a lot to prove.
00:44:18And Anonina is the one who helped me see it through.
00:44:23When do you leave?
00:44:26I've got a short gig, so I'm sticking around for a couple extra days.
00:44:31Good luck.
00:44:37Good luck.
00:44:38Good luck.
00:44:39Good luck.
00:44:39Good luck.
00:44:39Good luck.
00:44:41Charming.
00:44:42Charming, isn't he?
00:44:47We're going to win this competition come hell or high water.
00:44:57I am so sorry.
00:44:59I don't apologize.
00:45:02I never apologize for that.
00:45:09I'm going to go home and get some rest.
00:45:12Clean my head and I'll out.
00:45:15I'm going to finish cleaning up.
00:45:20Tony said you need to handle this competition or else.
00:45:24Or else what?
00:45:26Or else what?
00:45:27What the fuck do you think guys like us are hired to do?
00:45:29I'm a judge.
00:45:31I got fired.
00:45:33I have no way to infiltrate.
00:45:34That sounds like a human.
00:45:43No turning back now.
00:45:59I got you.
00:46:00I promise.
00:46:24Hello, chefs.
00:46:26How delighted we are to have you tonight toasting the competition.
00:46:31I'd like to apologize for the late start this evening.
00:46:34Seems like one of our judges got food poisoning.
00:46:37I know.
00:46:38Ironic.
00:46:39Luckily, a last-minute replacement randomly stumbled in.
00:46:42We would also like to mention this year we have a celebrity judge
00:46:47that we are all quite excited about.
00:46:50So please, help me welcome our judges.
00:47:01We're screwed.
00:47:07Uh, no.
00:47:10We're dead.
00:47:13I look forward to hearing your restaurant's name come in last place.
00:47:24I'm going to meet the judges.
00:47:26Want to join?
00:47:29Uh, um, I'm not a great conversationalist.
00:47:34That's all you.
00:47:48Can't wait to watch the staff interact with the judges.
00:47:51Oh, wait, I mean, just you and Dash.
00:47:55What are you talking about?
00:47:56The competition doesn't just judge the food.
00:47:59They judge the service.
00:48:01And knowing your lack of personal skills.
00:48:12What's wrong?
00:48:18I think this was a terrible idea.
00:48:22You know, the competition is going to cost me two nights of payment on the floor.
00:48:27I hate to break it to you, but having seen how last night went,
00:48:31staying open wouldn't have changed that.
00:48:34Okay, well, maybe I should just shut down the restaurant and save my dignity.
00:48:38You're not going to do that.
00:48:41I won't allow it.
00:48:45What is this really about, Nina?
00:48:50I need to learn how to be charming.
00:49:02How's your evening going, man?
00:49:06Just get on with it.
00:49:09Taking it in how the customer is feeling will help you understand their needs.
00:49:14Well, friend, I'm feeling frustrated.
00:49:19Well, you came to the right spot to cool down.
00:49:23How about a nice chilled soup to start?
00:49:27Or would a cocktail fit your fancy?
00:49:32Worked, didn't it?
00:49:34Yeah, that was good.
00:49:37I know.
00:49:40Now, your turn.
00:49:42What?
00:49:44No.
00:49:46From the entrance.
00:49:46hierous pounds.
00:50:02I can see.
00:50:05Hold on.
00:50:06Oof.
00:50:09It's not quite good.
00:50:11How about a little soup?
00:50:12It's just a little soup cosy.
00:50:12I don't know.
00:50:12I can't see.
00:50:13I can't see.
00:50:15I can't see.
00:50:16I can't see.
00:50:16It's a little soup.
00:50:16That was adorable.
00:50:18Oh, no, it wasn't. Redo.
00:50:21Hey, hey, hey.
00:50:23Relax.
00:50:29Ahem.
00:50:30You smell like chocolate and strawberries.
00:50:34Better?
00:50:39Ahem.
00:50:44How are you doing this evening?
00:50:47Starving.
00:50:53Then you must be interested in our five-course menu experience.
00:50:57That'll definitely satisfy your hunger.
00:51:02Exactly.
00:51:03This might not be so bad after all.
00:51:06Well, yeah, I mean, if your father and my ex don't potentially ruin our futures as chefs, this should be
00:51:12a piece of cake.
00:51:18I got you.
00:51:21We'll win this together.
00:51:23Promise.
00:51:24Trust me.
00:51:25What?
00:51:28Yes, chef.
00:51:33We need to do a dry run.
00:51:35From the beginning to end.
00:51:37You ready?
00:51:42Good.
00:51:43Let the games begin.
00:51:49Let's go.
00:52:16Let's go.
00:52:45Let's go.
00:52:48It's perfect.
00:52:54No one goes great with it.
00:53:12Excellent customer service.
00:53:15Back at you, chef.
00:53:36Please excuse us as we prepare your next course.
00:53:38Bun.
00:53:41Appetit.
00:53:51Ah, excuse me.
00:54:13What?
00:54:25What?
00:54:25What is it?
00:54:27Nothing.
00:54:27It's just...
00:54:31I guess it feels like the home I've always wanted to build.
00:54:36Me too.
00:54:45What?
00:54:49What?
00:54:51What?
00:54:51What?
00:55:08What?
00:55:10What?
00:55:12What?
00:55:13What?
00:55:24What?
00:55:26What?
00:55:27What?
00:55:40What?
00:55:41What do you think you're doing?
00:55:43I'm just helping you with behind the scenes.
00:55:47You ready?
00:55:50Okay.
00:55:52And...
00:55:53Action.
00:55:58Anyone can build a house.
00:56:01But it takes love to make it a home.
00:56:04And that's my secret ingredient for the dessert I'm going to prepare for the competition.
00:56:10I deserve my mother.
00:56:12It used to make me when I was feeling sad and she knew I needed extra love to get me
00:56:18through
00:56:18some hard times.
00:56:29Perfect.
00:56:31Oh!
00:56:32No, it...
00:56:33That's okay.
00:56:33I can just totally clean it.
00:56:36Or...
00:56:42I can...
00:56:45I can...
00:56:53I can...
00:57:08See more of that?
00:57:11I, uh, you, you, you, you could.
00:57:15Yes, Chef.
00:57:27I'll be right back.
00:57:43Uh, so the cameras are still up?
00:57:48Don't worry.
00:57:50I can turn them away so they don't face us.
00:57:55But what if they did?
00:58:00Yes, Chef.
00:58:23Tell me how much you want.
00:58:27All of it?
00:58:30Yes, Chef.
00:59:01How do you like it?
00:59:04Well done.
00:59:19Yes, Chef.
00:59:39How do you think we'd score?
00:59:43Oh, 10 out of 10 for sure.
00:59:49Let's win this thing.
00:59:55Seconds?
00:59:58Can we have actual dessert before we leave?
01:00:14We can't do the grilled octopus and beetroot salad.
01:00:17Salmon?
01:00:18We do have shrimp too.
01:00:20Shrimp would be better.
01:00:21So how about we start off with the shrimp?
01:00:23And then salmon after.
01:00:25Yeah, so we'll replace the octopus, salmon.
01:00:29Great.
01:00:35Do you know what time they're coming?
01:00:382 p.m.?
01:00:402 p.m.?
01:00:42So then we need to de-thaw the ocean.
01:01:02Welcome home.
01:01:05Greeting us yourselves?
01:01:06You really can't keep a staff, can you?
01:01:11Well, we let them have the night off.
01:01:14It's just us.
01:01:15Mi casa, su casa.
01:01:18We've had a long day at the other restaurants,
01:01:20and I have a plane to catch after this.
01:01:21So, uh, can we get on with it?
01:01:23Oh, this way.
01:01:34Enjoy the wine.
01:01:35We'll be right back with your first course.
01:01:46Wine free.
01:01:59Just tell them the story.
01:02:01This is your home after all.
01:02:10This dish is from my late father's homeland.
01:02:14It's a take on a meal we would eat on fishing boats
01:02:16after a long day at sea.
01:02:18Expertly executed, chef.
01:02:28Is there something wrong, Judge?
01:02:32It's uninspired.
01:02:33You can't be serious.
01:02:35Are you even qualified to be here?
01:02:37Probably sabotaged his way back in.
01:02:40Ever heard he got fired.
01:02:49We'll get you a new fork, sir.
01:02:59So attentive.
01:03:05Oh, just eat, you snake.
01:03:07This is the worst meal of my life.
01:03:11Disgusting.
01:03:14Walking down memory lane must have really worked out my appetite.
01:03:24As I said, expertly executed.
01:03:33For you.
01:03:55I hope you all saved room for dessert.
01:03:57It's chef Dash's specialty.
01:04:01Can't be served.
01:04:02I'll be serving you all a dish from my childhood.
01:04:06My late mother used to make me this dish when I was feeling low and
01:04:12to this day, every time I eat it, it's as if she's here with me,
01:04:19putting a smile on my face.
01:04:22Excuse me.
01:04:27It's an honor to have him serve this dish under my name.
01:04:32Excuse me.
01:04:44Wait, wait, wait.
01:04:45Those scores are higher than the ones you gave to Chef Tony.
01:04:47As it should be.
01:04:49This is one of the most unique experiences I've ever had.
01:04:52Across the board, excellence.
01:04:54It's just the two of them.
01:04:56Exactly.
01:04:57It's like I'm literally in their home.
01:05:00It's so giving mommy and daddy vibes.
01:05:06Please tell me you don't agree with these amateurs.
01:05:09It is unique, but I have my own hangups to ponder.
01:05:16I didn't think this plan would fail.
01:05:19I must do something.
01:05:32Only one dessert?
01:05:34What'd you run out of money?
01:05:35Dessert here is served family style.
01:05:38It's meant to be shared.
01:05:39To be fought over.
01:05:41To bring us all together.
01:05:56Bon appetit.
01:05:58Whoa.
01:06:01It's even more beautiful in person.
01:06:05It looks exactly like.
01:06:07It is exactly how she made it.
01:06:11Minus the flowers and gold, of course.
01:06:15Only one dessert.
01:06:18I'm afraid to try it.
01:06:21I know.
01:06:24I understand.
01:06:39Nobody fucks the great daddy wives dessert.
01:06:42Nobody.
01:06:44Boom.
01:06:59It's exactly.
01:07:03It's as if she's here with me today.
01:07:08You brought her back to life.
01:07:13May we?
01:07:17I'm sorry.
01:07:28This was a cherry on top of a perfectly executed meal.
01:07:32I know who my winner is.
01:07:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:07:37That's not how this was supposed to go, okay?
01:07:39I flooded their restaurant, all right?
01:07:41I'm the one that did that.
01:07:43I poisoned his drink so that Chef Tony would get the highest score and I took their chefs, all right?
01:07:49She still rises.
01:07:51That little fucking pizza girl.
01:07:54I should kill you.
01:08:00It's all right.
01:08:00They're gonna kill me.
01:08:22Hey boss, just saw Axel run off, the winner was announced.
01:08:47It's time for Axel to go swimming with the fishes.
01:09:03Okay, now you two stand in front of your sign because we need a photo of the first ever
01:09:09duel shots to win this competition.
01:09:18Gorgeous. Such a sexy couple. Thanks.
01:09:25Wait, are we?
01:09:33That's a yes, by the way.
01:09:40Can I get one with my dad in it?
01:09:42Absolutely.
01:10:02Congratulations.
01:10:11This is going to help us so much. Thank you again for your vote.
01:10:15I knew it the moment I saw your first plate. You've got talent. Both of you.
01:10:21I hate to say it, but I'm impressed.
01:10:24Thank you, Chef Leto. It means a lot coming from an extraordinary chef like yourself.
01:10:29You both have a bright future. I'd like to bring home under the Leto Fine Dining Management
01:10:37crew.
01:10:40That would be an honor, Chef.
01:10:44You'll have all the funding you need to keep this star of a restaurant going.
01:10:48And as for you, I'll reinstate your trust fund into the bank account tomorrow morning.
01:10:54It... Hold on.
01:10:57Hello.
01:11:00Really?
01:11:00But how?
01:11:05You don't say.
01:11:07Interesting.
01:11:10My assistant just informed me that all my restaurants are suddenly booked up for the next two years.
01:11:17Something about a photo my son uploaded with me in it.
01:11:21The internet's calling me Zaddy Leto.
01:11:27Maybe I can delay my flight so you can teach me how to make a post.
01:11:31What do you say?
01:11:33I'd say we have time for another bottle of wine and a recap.
01:11:38Maybe some dessert too.
01:11:46We did it!
01:11:48Just the two of us.
01:11:51In our home.
01:11:54I have a special video I'd like to edit for you.
01:11:59Oh.
01:12:00The security footage?
01:12:02Yes.
01:12:04But you have to promise me to keep it private.
01:12:08I'll keep it safe.
01:12:10Just like how you've kept me.
01:12:12Just like how you've kept me.
01:12:12I'll keep it.
01:12:14I'll be right back.
01:12:16You're welcome.
