[New 2026] Falling for the Internet's Sweetest Temptation
Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
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 the 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 if you catch my drift.
00:00:34Got it, Chef. Got it.
00:00:42Salud.
00:00:47Enjoy the best meal of your life.
00:00:59You 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.
00:01:24Alright, time to clean up and go to our actual homes.
00:01:32Hey Dash, Chef Nina, an anonymous food blogger posted about home and it's not good.
00:01:42And while the new restaurant seems to take itself seriously given the pricing, it's the clout of having a dash
00:01:48of temptation as their resident pastry chef that makes them cheap.
00:01:52God. See, this is exactly what I was worried about.
00:01:54A 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.
00:02:29Listen, I know how the internet works. Just get a dare to you and you'll blow over.
00:02:38Soon, real reviews from real customers will overshadow this as they shout from the mountaintop how good home is.
00:02:53I 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!
00:03:48That's okay.
00:03:50Hey, look, gotta understand, greatness takes time.
00:03:53It's kinda like...
00:03:55Waiting for dough to rise.
00:04:02You keep experimenting, you're gonna be a great chef one day.
00:04:12See? Doesn't that make you feel better?
00:04:31Did you get home okay?
00:04:36This is home. Where I've only ever belonged.
00:04:51Thanks 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.
00:05:51Oh my god.
00:06:04Oh god, he's delicious.
00:06:08I 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.
00:06:38You've got to be careful.
00:06:44You have to leave her in the cold.
00:07:00You have to be careful.
00:07:00You have to be careful.
00:07:02You're not so mad at me.
00:07:03rather 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. You're in a mood because of that terrible review by some online food
00:07:14influencer.
00:07:15That must have really stung. Ouch.
00:07:17That little thing? We're gonna get notable reviews from actual professionals. Just you wait.
00:07:25You'll never make it without me or my connections as a food critic.
00:07:29Yeah? And you'll never survive on Christie's overly sweet desserts. Time 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?
00:07:57Hi!
00:07:58Hey, boss. How's it hanging?
00:08:01Uh, great, great. Just cleaning up.
00:08:04Fun.
00:08:06Is it okay if I pick up a few things for tonight's desserts?
00:08:10All the items there are what your previous chef had ordered.
00:08:13Oh, right. Yeah, go for it.
00:08:15Alright. See you tonight, then.
00:08:19Excited to see what you whip up!
00:08:24Oh, why did I say that?
00:08:27Gross.
00:08:41Oops.
00:08:43Oh, boy. Yeah, that's... that's what I need right now.
00:08:47Oh, man.
00:08:52Want some coffee?
00:08:54Sure.
00:08:55Cream? Sugar?
00:08:57No sugar!
00:08:59Geez, okay. Calm 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!
00:09:18Here!
00:09:26Welcome to your new home.
00:09:28Hi, yes. I'd like to make a reservation for tonight.
00:09:31I'm sorry, sir, but we are booked up six months in advance.
00:09:34What?
00:09:36Would 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.
00:10:16Got 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!
00:10:52Flamboyant, untalented daddy's little rich boy.
00:10:59Time to drop off your stuff, Ina.
00:11:17I hope you can swim, Nina.
00:11:21Cuddle this, bitch.
00:11:32Yes, sir.
00:11:35Sir, no running!
00:11:38Hey, watch it, babe!
00:11:42I need to get home and start baking.
00:11:45Yeah, hi.
00:11:46I'd like to report a citation.
00:12:02Uh, how's the uni pasta with caviar looking?
00:12:18Oh my god, the entire dining room is flooded!
00:12:26I got called for a health code citation.
00:12:30Oh.
00:12:31This restaurant is shut down and effective immediately!
00:12:36Are you the owner?
00:12:37Uh, I am.
00:12:38I have to give you a failing grade.
00:12:40But, no, a failing grade, look, I have never...
00:12:42Hang on.
00:12:44Inspector?
00:12:47Theo.
00:12:48Theo.
00:12:50I like that name.
00:12:52I like you.
00:12:54I mean, I've watched all your videos and all.
00:13:00Can you give us a few hours to figure out what happened before you give our chef her first failing
00:13:06grade?
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.
00:13:20It's not a bribe.
00:13:21A bribe would be...
00:13:23Me?
00:13:24Feeding you the dessert myself.
00:13:25No.
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.
00:13:50What can I say?
00:13:51It's the least I can do.
00:13:52Hey, tell me.
00:13:54What's a food critic job paying these days?
00:13:57I get by.
00:14:00How'd you like to make a little extra?
00:14:03Come work for my restaurant's management team.
00:14:07Well, wouldn't that conflict with my current job?
00:14:10You worry too much.
00:14:13Let me handle that.
00:14:17What are you thinking?
00:14:21The flood didn't just happen on its own.
00:14:24The 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?
00:14:34Oh, um...
00:14:39Who's this?
00:14:42Oh my god, that's my ex-fiance!
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.
00:15:11Dude, that low-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.
00:15:20Oh, thank 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?
00:15:41Yes?
00:15:42Some news?
00:15:44I'd like to discuss a matter concerning your food critic, Axel Vitti.
00:15:53It's settled.
00:15:54The 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.
00:16:08I got you. I promise.
00:16:13Too bad home will have to go into foreclosure after its humiliating health inspection.
00:16:25Hello, editor?
00:16:26Yes, I just got the juiciest...
00:16:31What?
00:16:32No, what? You can't fire me! What? No!
00:16:36Go!
00:16:39I'll kill them! I'll kill...
00:16:41Oh, fuck! Chef 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?
00:17:11Off duty and all?
00:17:13How about it, partner?
00:17:24Chef Tony.
00:17:31Join me.
00:17:49There's, uh, there'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.
00:17:58I 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.
00:18:09I wanted to see if, you know, the offer still stood to become a part of your, you know, team's
00:18:14restaurant management.
00:18:19I just, you know, the money, 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.
00:18:31Portato lo via.
00:18:33If it's a job you want, then my boys here will put you to work.
00:18:42Why 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 culinary royalty.
00:19:09Well, 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 I'm at the restaurant.
00:20:15I'm sorry.
00:20:17It'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...
00:20:32You ghost watch?
00:20:34Guilty.
00:20:35God, I'm so embarrassed, I...
00:20:38Give me your phone.
00:20:40Oh.
00:20:41Oh.
00:20:47Now, we both, follow each other.
00:20:49Will you let you go?
00:20:50There's no way.
00:20:52I'm already so...
00:20:55Still burning.
00:20:56So hold me close.
00:20:57Let me make you feel better.
00:20:58Hello, come baby.
00:21:05Oh my.
00:21:06Is it all right?
00:21:07It's been such an old time since I made it.
00:21:09No, no, no.
00:21:10That is 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, yeah.
00:21:21Go for it.
00:21:22Well, what should it be called?
00:21:27Childhood.
00:21:30Childhood.
00:21:31That's everything home is about.
00:21:37Having doubts?
00:21:40No.
00:21:41It's just I've never felt so soon before.
00:21:52Nina Bertelli?
00:21:55Yeah, that's me.
00:21:57Can you show us where the water's coming from?
00:21:59Absolutely.
00:22:00Follow me.
00:22:01I will be right back.
00:22:02I got some videos to edit, so I'll be gone in a bit.
00:22:06Oh, yeah, of course.
00:22:08I'll leave this for you to finish.
00:22:12Natasha.
00:22:13Oh, ma'am.
00:22:15The damage?
00:22:16Yes, uh, yes.
00:22:18Right away.
00:22:29Oh, damn.
00:22:30It was in there deep.
00:22:32Got it.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:33Fucking bastard.
00:22:44Inspector Theo's just about to call you.
00:22:48What?
00:22:48What? What do you mean home's going viral?
00:22:54I'm all grown up now, but you're never too old to enjoy your childhood.
00:22:58Come home. It's the only place this will be served.
00:23:04Holy fuck, I'm in love.
00:23:12Oh, no, no, no, no, no. He cannot see me like this.
00:23:25You passed.
00:23:27Excellent work.
00:23:29Thank you, Theo. Seriously.
00:23:32Okay, I know there's a six-month wait, but do you think...
00:23:36For you?
00:23:38Oh, I can't wait for a second.
00:23:43Okay, that's it. I will see you both soon.
00:23:48You are dangerously good at that.
00:23:52At what?
00:23:54Making people fall for you.
00:23:57Um, maybe we should start prepping now that we can reopen.
00:24:02Prepping? Yeah, yeah, that's, uh, that'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?
00:24:22At 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, uh, is that him?
00:24:40That's him, all right.
00:24:41All right, grab your tool.
00:24:43Let's go.
00:24:44Leave your bitch in the car.
00:24:53Ungrateful assholes.
00:24:57Hey, buddy, what's up with DA?
00:25:00Oh, I've been just past their inspection.
00:25:02I mean, feel free to make a reservation.
00:25:04Yeah, our boss isn't going to like that.
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.
00:25:12Maybe we can discuss this?
00:25:13Yeah, you can discuss it with Chef Tony later.
00:25:15Is the girl still in there?
00:25:17What?
00:25:17Yeah, no, I mean, maybe we can help you remember.
00:25:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:25:22Ah!
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.
00:25:38It'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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:25:52no, no.
00:25:54So what is it then?
00:25:59She's inside.
00:26:09I 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.
00:26:17Hey, Nina?
00:26:18Yeah?
00:26:18I, um, see you when you get back.
00:26:24Yeah.
00:26:24Bye.
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?
00:26:55Depends on how many will fit on my private plane.
00:26:57Meet me at the market at 1 p.m.
00:27:00I 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.
00:27:101 p.m.
00:27:19Morning, sweetie.
00:27:24Oh, my God.
00:27:25He's hurt badly.
00:27:30Hey, how did this happen?
00:27:35How about you come with us, sweetie?
00:27:37Or the health inspector?
00:27:39We'll have to crawl back to the hospital.
00:27:48Let's take a walk.
00:27:53My assistant showed me the video.
00:27:56Your mother's deserved.
00:27:57You dare to replicate.
00:27:59I didn't replicate it.
00:28:01I honored it.
00:28:02Remembered it.
00:28:03You wouldn't know the difference.
00:28:05You turned it into content.
00:28:07Smeared her memory all over the internet.
00:28:09Then had the audacity to 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.
00:28:33Or 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.
00:28:57I'll succeed somehow.
00:29:01Who are these goons?
00:29:04My cleanup 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.
00:29:32Why would someone critically acclaimed as you be worried about my little restaurant?
00:29:35Oh, little.
00:29:37Little, listen to the Joker here.
00:29:40All right.
00:29:41That's funny.
00:29:42Huh?
00:29:43Tell me about that.
00:29:46What 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.
00:29:57All right?
00:29:58I will pay you handsomely to shut your business down and just go back to making pizzas.
00:30:05Doesn't that sound nice?
00:30:07And what 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.
00:30:28It's Nita.
00:30:31I'll have Axel here to cut off your hand.
00:30:39Help!
00:30:39Help!
00:30:41Help!
00:30:41Help!
00:30:42Help!
00:30:43Help!
00:30:48Help!
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.
00:31:05Lado, I haven't tried your restaurants yet, but I hear great things.
00:31:11Don't worry.
00:31:12I don't take your absence personally.
00:31:14It's quite refreshing, actually.
00:31:17It's been, what?
00:31:1830 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?
00:31:37That's a new low, even for you.
00:31:40Talking about...
00:31:42Hey, hey, Nina.
00:31:44Nina, wake up.
00:31:45Wake up, come on.
00:31:47Wake up.
00:32:00Am I in heaven?
00:32:02Kind of.
00:32:04We're at the food market.
00:32:08Oh, where's Tony?
00:32:10My father threatened to reveal Tony's illegal workings if he ever tried to hurt you again.
00:32:15Oh.
00:32:16Oh, where's your father?
00:32:17I need to thank him.
00:32:19He left for a fish auction.
00:32:22Do you think you can walk?
00:32:30Oh, my God.
00:32:32Oh, my God.
00:32:33I'm so sorry.
00:32:47I'm so sorry.
00:32:51What was that?
00:32:53Nothing.
00:32:56Come on.
00:32:57We gotta finish your shopping.
00:32:59The restaurant's about to open.
00:33:01I'm sure Axel's not gonna come back for us.
00:33:05He's a little tied up at the moment.
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 mean any dance?
00:34:17No, thank you.
00:34:18I 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?

00:51:03This 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,

00:53:42Appetit.
00:53:53Okay.
00:53:55Excuse me.
00:54:13Where are you going?
00:54:15To check on our guests and grab their empty plates.
00:54:17Of course.
00:54:23Why?
00:54:25What is it?
00:54:27Nothing, it's uh, it's just...
00:54:31It just feels like the home I've always wanted to bed.
00:54:36Me too.
00:54:37You should stay still with me.
00:54:43I'm not wanna know anything.
00:54:45It's okay in the gym.
00:54:49I'm not going to sit there.

00:55:05Mmm, so good.
00:55:08And, um, guess what?
00:55:10Mmm, you get to sit down and enjoy this all for yourselves?
00:55:15Mm-mm, it's dessert time.
00:55:18Of course, of course.
00:55:20Don't worry.
00:55:22I got it.
00:55:40What do you think you're doing?
00:55:43I'm just helping you with behind the scenes.
00:55:48You ready?
00:55:50Okay.
00:55:53And...
00:55:53Action.
00:55:58Anyone can build a house.
00:56:01But it takes love to make it a home.
00:56:05And, uh, that's my secret ingredient for the dessert.
00:56:08I'm gonna prepare for the competition.
00:56:10A dessert my mother.
00:56:13Used to make me when I was feeling sad, and she knew.
00:56:16I needed extra love to get me through some hard times.
00:56:29Perfect.
00:56:31Oh!
00:56:31No!
00:56:32No, uh, uh, that's okay. I can just totally clean it.
00:56:37Or...
00:56:42I can.
00:57:08Some more of that?
00:57:10I, uh...
00:57:12You, you, you, you, you could...
00:57:15Yes.
00:57:16Chef.
00:57:18You really hurt yourself.
00:57:27I'm going back.
00:57:29I'm going back.
00:57:31Oh my God...
00:57:35Oh.
00:57:40Heh.
00:57:43Ah...
00:57:44So the cameras are still up?
00:57:47Uh.
00:57:48Don't worry.
00:57:50I can...
00:57:51turn 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?
00:58:31Yes, Chef.
00:59:01How do you like it?
00:59:04Well done.
00:59:40How do you think we'd score?
00:59:43Oh, ten out of ten for sure.
00:59:50Let's win this thing.
00:59:55Seconds?
00:59:57Uh, can 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.
01:00:20So how about we start off with the shrimp?
01:00:23And salmon after.
01:00:25Yes, we'll replace the octopus salmon.
01:00:29Great.
01:00:35Do you know what time they're coming?
01:00:392pm?
01:00:41Ah, so then we need to de-thaw all the way.
01:01:02Welcome home.
01:01:05Greeting us yourselves?
01:01:06You really can't keep a staff, can you?
01:01:09Hmm.
01:01:11Well, we let them have the night off.
01:01:14It's just us.
01:01:16Mi casa, su casa.
01:01:18We've had a long day out here at the restaurants and I have a plane to catch after this.
01:01:22So, uh, can we get on with it?
01:01:24Oh, this way.
01:01:34Enjoy the wine.
01:01:35Fine.
01:01:35We'll be right back with your first course.
01:01:46One free.
01:01:47Mm-hmm.
01:01:59Just tell them a story.
01:02:01This is your home after all.
01:02:09Uh, this dish is from my late father's homeland.
01:02:14It's a take on a meal we would eat on fishing boats after a long day at sea.
01:02:18Expertly executed, chef.
01:02:28Is there something wrong, Judge?
01:02:32Uninspired.
01:02:33You can't be serious.
01:02:35Are you even qualified to be here?
01:02:37Probably sabotaged his way back in.
01:02:41I heard how you got fired.
01:02:49We'll get you a new fork, sir.
01:02:59So attentive.
01:03:05Oh, just eat, you snake.
01:03:08This is the worst meal of my life.
01:03:11Disgusting.
01:03:14Walking down memory lane must have really worked out my appetite.
01:03:25As I said, expertly executed.
01:03:34For 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 eat this dish when I was feeling low and to this day, every
01:04:15time I eat it, it's as if she's here with me, putting 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. Those scores are higher than the ones you gave to Chef Tony.
01:04:47As it should be.
01:04:49As 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.
01:04:59It's so giving mommy and daddy vibes.
01:05:06Please tell me you don't agree with these amateurs.
01:05:09It is unique.
01:05:11But 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?
01:05:34Why'd you run out of money?
01:05:35Dessert here is served family style.
01:05:38It's meant to be shared.
01:05:40To 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.
01:06:09Exactly 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.
01:06:22I know.
01:06:24I understand.
01:06:38I know.
01:06:41You're 해�.
01:06:41It's been offlets.
01:06:44Okay.
01:06:58It's, it's exactly, it's as if she's here with me today, you brought her back to life.
01:07:13May we?
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!
01:07:37That's not how this was supposed to go, okay?
01:07:39I flooded their restaurant, alright?
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'd cook their chefs, alright?
01:07:48She still rises, that little fucking pizza girl!
01:07:54I should kill you!
01:08:00They're gonna kill me!
01:08:01I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that
01:08:18I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that
01:08:21I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that
01:08:22I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that
01:08:22I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that
01:08:23I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that

01:08:26I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the one that I'm the
01:08:32You gotta be shittin' off.
01:08:35Yeah, we'll hand that one from here.
01:08:42Home one.
01:08:43Huh.
01:08:47It's time for Axley to go swimmin' with the fishes.
01:09:03Okay, now you two stand firm your sign.
01:09:06Because we need a photo of the first ever dual chefs to win this competition.
01:09:19Gorgeous.
01:09:21Such a sexy couple.
01:09:23Thanks.
01:09:25Wait.
01:09:26Are we?
01:09:33That's a yes, by the way.
01:09:40Can I get one with my dad in it?
01:09:42Absolutely.
01:10:03Congratulations.
01:10:11This is going to help us so much.
01:10:14Thank you again for your vote.
01:10:16I knew it the moment I saw your first plate.
01:10:18You've got talent.
01:10:20Both of you.
01:10:21I hate to say it, but I'm impressed.
01:10:24Thank you, Chef Leto.
01:10:26It means a lot coming from an extraordinary chef like yourself.
01:10:30You both have a bright future.
01:10:33I'd like to bring home under the Leto Fine Dining Management Group.
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...
01:10:54Hold on.
01:10:57Hello.
01:11:00Really?
01:11:01But how?
01:11:01How?
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.
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!
01:11:49Just 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?
01:12:03Yes.
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.
01:12:12I'll keep it safe for you.
01:12:12We have a special day of wine.
01:12:12And I'll be back to you.
01:12:13I need to be a special day of wine.
01:12:14Well, I'd love to go to in the meal.
01:12:15I'll be back to you.
01:12:15Here we go.
01:12:15I'll be back to you.
