00:00:00We bring in, we bring in, we bring in the fire.
00:00:04The man's on hold and he's on hold and he's on hold.
00:00:06Hot pan chef behind.
00:00:07We bring in, we bring in the fire.
00:00:10We bring in the fire.
00:00:10We bring in the fire.
00:00:11Take us higher.
00:00:19That's Troy Davenport.
00:00:20He's the chef in all the owners.
00:00:23The guy's a legend.
00:00:25I heard he has a short fuse.
00:00:27It's hard to make Julian partnered with him.
00:00:31Listen up everybody.
00:00:33Charles DuPont, America's top food critic is here to review the Davenport.
00:00:38His influence could lead us to a Michelin star.
00:00:41This is what we've all been working toward.
00:00:44We got this.
00:00:49Don't mess it out.
00:00:51Thanks for the pep talk.
00:01:02By me.
00:01:04Hi.
00:01:06Look, I just want to say that I am literally so proud of you.
00:01:10And tonight really feels like my dream.
00:01:14Our dreams are finally coming true.
00:01:21You got this, honey.
00:01:29You got this, honey.
00:01:48Corinne.
00:01:50Wow.
00:01:52Is that Troy Davenport's girlfriend making out with his business partner?
00:01:55Yeah.
00:01:56Didn't you go to culinary school with Troy?
00:01:58Yep.
00:01:59But he doesn't remember me.
00:02:02But I went over him alone.
00:02:04I was so in love with him.
00:02:06But he had a temper.
00:02:08He's gonna lose his shit about this.
00:02:22Wow.
00:02:23Was that Troy Davenport's girlfriend making out with his business partner?
00:02:26Yeah.
00:02:28I can't believe this.
00:02:31Troy Davenport is the most successful and famous chef in America.
00:02:37Alina definitely doesn't deserve him.
00:02:44Um, so sorry about this, sir.
00:02:46We'll get this taken care of?
00:02:47Yes.
00:02:48I'll make you another one right away.
00:02:49It's on the house.
00:02:50Thanks.
00:02:57Hey, chef.
00:02:59Charles DuPont is here.
00:03:00At table 13, he's asking for you personally.
00:03:03Great.
00:03:05Okay.
00:03:09Charles DuPont.
00:03:10Ah, the soon-to-be Michelin star man.
00:03:14It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
00:03:17Is everything all right?
00:03:27Oh, you're so bad.
00:03:29Mm-hmm.
00:03:42Son of a bitch.
00:03:51What the fuck happened here?
00:03:57We are so sorry.
00:03:58Your meal's on the house tonight.
00:04:02Ah!
00:04:11Whoa!
00:04:19Troy, get off of him!
00:04:25You're finished!
00:04:26You're right.
00:04:27I am finished.
00:04:28With both of you.
00:04:29Troy, wait.
00:04:30I can explain.
00:04:31It's over.
00:04:31Step aside and talk about this.
00:04:34We are one step away from a Michelin star.
00:04:36Fuck your Michelin.
00:04:38Oh, careful, Troy.
00:04:40This restaurant is all you have.
00:04:42Yeah, you're making a big mistake.
00:04:44You walk out that door and I promise you'll never work in this town again.
00:04:47I guess this is all I have.
00:04:49I'm done.
00:04:54Fuck you.
00:05:02Oh my gosh, that's Troy Davenport.
00:05:04Fuck off.
00:05:06He's gorgeous.
00:05:13Fuck off.
00:05:14Fuck off.
00:05:15Fuck off.
00:05:15Fuck off.
00:05:16Fuck off.
00:05:16I need a drink.
00:05:24Troy Davenport.
00:05:25I heard he just beat up his boss.
00:05:37Hey, where's my burger?
00:05:39Where's our food?
00:05:47Fuck.
00:05:50Hey, what do I have to do to get a drink around here?
00:05:53Oh!
00:05:55Hector!
00:05:58Scandal rocks the culinary world.
00:06:00As all charges have been dropped against Chef Troy Davenport.
00:06:09Sources reveal the viral outburst stemmed from an affair between Julian Hartman, his business partner, and his girlfriend, Elena Stewart.
00:06:18Reporting live in Knoxville, I'm Abby Pork.
00:06:22Yo, you see what went down across the street?
00:06:24Shit's crazy.
00:06:25Hector, put your phone away, okay?
00:06:27Customers are complaining they're not getting what they ordered.
00:06:30Well, if we had a system, we wouldn't be drowning every goddamn night.
00:06:33Whoa!
00:06:33Simmer down, drama queen.
00:06:37Call me drama queen one more time, and I dare you come on.
00:06:41Enough!
00:06:42Okay, we're already behind.
00:06:44It's because you don't know how to run this kitchen.
00:06:47You know what?
00:06:49Troy's a genius.
00:06:51That's how you do it.
00:06:53Boom!
00:06:54Hector!
00:06:57I'm done!
00:07:01Where are you going?
00:07:07Hector!
00:07:09Hector, come on!
00:07:10Please, please, please, please, please.
00:07:11I need you to stay.
00:07:13Please.
00:07:14I need you.
00:07:15You need a lot of things, Corrine.
00:07:17I'm the least of your problems.
00:07:18I quit.
00:07:37What have you done?
00:07:38Your face is all over the news.
00:07:39I did what I had to do.
00:07:41Hey, where's my burger?
00:07:42This is cold, seriously.
00:07:43What is taking so long?
00:07:45Are you sure you've thought this through?
00:07:47Julian will destroy you.
00:07:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:07:49no, no.
00:07:50I gotta go.
00:07:53Where's our food?
00:07:54Your salads are coming, ma'am.
00:07:55I'm so sorry for the delay.
00:08:11Okay, so he's gone, but we'll just have to deal without him.
00:08:15Fuck!
00:08:16Guys, I could really use some help here.
00:08:20Corrine!
00:08:21Corrine!
00:08:22We're in trouble.
00:08:23Don't be surprised if we end up comping meals tonight.
00:08:27Are you really using some help?
00:08:32Corrine!
00:08:33It's Corrine!
00:08:44Corrine!
00:08:45Corrine!
00:08:55Corrine!
00:08:58Corrine!
00:09:01All right.
00:09:07Let me out.
00:09:17What is he doing here?
00:09:20You, turn the heat down.
00:09:21Huh?
00:09:22You're burning the scallops.
00:09:23Oh, shit.
00:09:25Everybody take a deep breath.
00:09:27You're only five tickets deep.
00:09:30Let me see the menu.
00:09:32It's pretty straightforward.
00:09:34Just be careful.
00:09:36Don't take Manny's knives.
00:09:38And if you go into the walk-in, don't slam the door or it'll lock you out.
00:09:46Grin, pull it together.
00:09:47He's just an arrogant chef.
00:09:49My God, he's hot.
00:10:23He's just an accrucibes.
00:10:23Looks too hungry.
00:10:27I don't know.
00:10:27I knew how to stand alone.
00:10:34Manny, remember to use your safety words.
00:10:37Sorry, Chef.
00:10:43You're a magician.
00:10:45Just, uh, tidying up some loose ends.
00:10:49Hey, Manny, stop working.
00:11:02Manny, not like that.
00:11:05You gotta control the pan.
00:11:08All right, Prince Charming.
00:11:09This ain't my first rodeo.
00:11:12On second thought?
00:11:15You got this.
00:11:16Hey, Table 3 is complaining it's too cold.
00:11:18And where is 7?
00:11:19We're...
00:11:21Oh, thank you.
00:11:24Where's my food?
00:11:27I'm so sorry for the delay.
00:11:30How is everything now?
00:11:41Is everything okay now?
00:11:45Now we're talking.
00:11:47This burger's better than the Davenport across the street.
00:11:50And this one's half the price.
00:11:54Did y'all get a new chef?
00:11:56We did.
00:11:57We started 15 minutes ago.
00:12:14Well, you survived the night, thanks to you.
00:12:17I didn't do much.
00:12:19I didn't do much.
00:12:20You did everything.
00:12:24If it's not too personal, can I ask what happened at your restaurant tonight?
00:12:32I'm done.
00:12:35I caught my business partner with his hands on my girlfriend.
00:12:42Ten years building that place.
00:12:46Now I've lost everything.
00:12:47You didn't lose everything.
00:12:50You...
00:12:51You lost the parts of your life you didn't need.
00:12:54There's a difference.
00:12:56Look, tonight would have been a disaster if we didn't have you.
00:12:59You were...
00:12:59You were great.
00:13:01I just wanted to help.
00:13:04Well...
00:13:08If you want to keep on helping, I do need a replacement.
00:13:17Are you offering me a job?
00:13:19I am.
00:13:22I know we're not fine dining, but we make people happy.
00:13:28So...
00:13:31What do you say, Davenport?
00:13:50Julian, what the fuck is this?
00:13:52What are you talking about?
00:13:53It's a fresh start for us.
00:13:55I said...
00:13:56No, no, no, no, no.
00:13:57I appreciate the gesture, but we're not getting a new name.
00:14:00The Davenport is already established.
00:14:02Okay, we are on Charles de Ponce Radar.
00:14:05We're not going backwards.
00:14:06Now the real question is, where do we find a world-renowned chef like Troy?
00:14:10Chefs are a dime a dozen.
00:14:12You let me worry about that.
00:14:13I'm a grateful bitch.
00:14:15What the fuck is Troy doing?
00:14:20Looks like we weren't the only ones having an affair.
00:14:25Hey.
00:14:27They're not worth your energy.
00:14:32You're right.
00:14:33But you are.
00:14:35Okay, come on.
00:14:37Well, if Troy thinks he can set up shop across from us, then he's got another fucking thing coming.
00:14:43Listen, we will destroy them.
00:14:46Got it?
00:14:54I was thinking beet salad with citrus vinaigrette.
00:14:58Beets?
00:14:59For dinner service?
00:15:01They're heavy, they stain, they die on a plate if you so much as blink.
00:15:05Okay, Mr. Michelin.
00:15:08Almost.
00:15:09People love beets.
00:15:10People love cheesecake too.
00:15:12It doesn't mean you need to put it underneath all of your entrees.
00:15:15You need to check your ego.
00:15:17I think this is why we weren't friends in culinary school.
00:15:20We were in the same culinary school?
00:15:22Exactly.
00:15:23Now we're on the same page.
00:15:25Last night you walked into my restaurant, lectured my staff, and reorganized my kitchen in what?
00:15:30We'd known each other like 10 seconds.
00:15:32Lecture?
00:15:33Really?
00:15:34Manny almost burned your kitchen down.
00:15:36I'm just saying dial it back.
00:15:37And I'm just saying, you should be saying thank you.
00:15:44Now I remember you.
00:15:46You were always so standoffish.
00:15:50Standoffish?
00:15:50Hm?
00:15:52Hey.
00:15:53You.
00:15:54Hey.
00:15:56You're that chef that had the meltdown, right?
00:15:59What about it?
00:16:01Is this the girl you cheated on Elena with?
00:16:06She is a total downgrade.
00:16:17She is a total downgrade.
00:16:20She is a total downgrade.
00:16:21she is a total downgrade.
00:16:36Like a little over here in the dark California?
00:16:38She is a total downgrade.
00:16:40She is a total downgrade

00:18:10Who's riding the checks around here?
00:18:12I do.
00:18:13I pick hers.
00:18:15That's what I thought.
00:18:17I like beets.
00:18:18They're earthy.
00:18:19Earthy means it tastes like dirt.
00:18:23Dirt with personality.
00:18:25Exactly.
00:18:26God help us.

00:33:37for the debate
00:33:37that i'm not a musician
00:33:37for a while
00:33:38There you are.
00:33:40Hey, are you guys still here?
00:33:42You left the front door wide open.
00:33:59I'm not even going to ask.
00:34:00We were just trying to keep warm.
00:34:03Alright, Pinocchio, let's get out of here before we all freeze to death.
00:34:11Why don't you two try the beach next time and I'm not dragging you popsicles out of there again.
00:34:15This stays between us.
00:34:17Already erased from my memory.
00:34:19Troy?
00:34:23Where's my notebook? I left it right here.
00:34:35You have something to show us?
00:34:36Yes, sir.
00:34:38I thought about what you both said last night and it really inspired me.
00:34:42I stayed up late thinking of new ideas that I think you'll love.
00:34:45Show us what you got, Hector.
00:34:48Dish number one, spring tilapia.
00:34:57This is really good.
00:35:00It reminds me of the one that Troy used to make.
00:35:03But better.
00:35:04It's actually excellent.
00:35:08Got anything else?
00:35:12Dish number two and my personal favorite, pasta carbonara.
00:35:24Oh my god.
00:35:26Finally!
00:35:28Hector, what the hell did you do?
00:35:38Troy's notebook.
00:35:39See?
00:35:39I'm not as dumb as I look.
00:35:41Apparently not.
00:35:44You know, if you keep this up, we might actually have a shot at winning.
00:36:07I know I left it here.
00:36:35I think this is why we weren't friends in culinary school.
00:36:43Hey.
00:36:45You know, I was just thinking about last night.
00:36:47Hey, hey, what's wrong?
00:36:49You didn't just pick this location.
00:36:54Try it.
00:36:55You positioned it.
00:36:56I can't explain.
00:37:01I can't explain.
00:37:02Okay.
00:37:02It was strategic prep.
00:37:04I'm a chef.
00:37:05Everybody.
00:37:05You're studying me.
00:37:07Did Julian put you up to this?
00:37:09Don't get it twisted, okay?
00:37:11I never planned on us.
00:37:13That's the problem.
00:37:14I trusted you.
00:37:16I thought last night meant something.
00:37:18It did.
00:37:19It does.
00:37:20Please.
00:37:20Then why does it feel like you've been sharpening a knife behind my back?
00:37:23Shh.
00:37:24Try it.
00:37:26Try it.
00:37:37Try it.
00:37:38Try it.
00:37:38Try it.
00:37:40Try it.
00:37:42Try it.
00:37:44Wait.
00:37:47Try it.
00:37:48Uh-oh.
00:37:49Looks like there's trouble in person.
00:37:50Where are those?
00:37:51Now's our time to strike.
00:37:53What's the move?
00:37:54Need to make a call.
00:37:57Hey, it's me.
00:37:58I'd like to report a restaurant.
00:38:00They had numerous health code violations.
00:38:04Yeah, Corinne's corner on Main Street.
00:38:06Shut it down.
00:38:08Make it clean.
00:38:09You got less than an hour.
00:38:10Hurry.
00:38:13Who was that?
00:38:14A friend of mine.
00:38:17I don't know, Julian.
00:38:18This feels illegal.
00:38:19Like, this could really bury them.
00:38:23That's the point.
00:38:26Right.
00:38:37Hey.
00:38:38You scared me.
00:38:41I wasn't going anywhere.
00:38:43I just needed some space.
00:38:45Please, Troy.
00:38:46Just let me explain.
00:38:49I'm listening.
00:38:51Look.
00:38:52I know beat Troy to have important sounds brutal.
00:38:57And I did write it, but not for the reasons that you think.
00:39:01In culinary school, every guy wanted to be you.
00:39:04Okay?
00:39:04You could turn an ordinary dish into something unforgettable.
00:39:10I watched you cook, and I thought you were a master.
00:39:14So, yeah.
00:39:15I wrote, beat Troy down on board.
00:39:18Not because I wanted to destroy you.
00:39:21I needed something to chase.
00:39:25You're the reason I opened up my restaurant.
00:39:28And took out a loan I couldn't afford.
00:39:33I've been working 16 and a half hour days trying to be half as good as you.
00:39:39Promise me something.
00:39:42That we will stop trying to be who everyone wants us to be.
00:39:45And we'll just be ourselves.
00:39:47Together.
00:39:50We'll stop running.
00:39:59We'll stop running.
00:40:13We'll stop running.
00:40:15We got a hand here.
00:40:18Man, this shit is ridiculous.
00:40:22Oh, come on.
00:40:25Table 9 wants their steak well done.
00:40:27Table 7 wants bread we don't have.
00:40:28And Table 13 is threatening to write us a bad review.

00:51:46okay
00:52:12I'm your host, Sebastian Valle.
00:52:19Welcome to A Dash of Fire, where culinary mastery is put to the test in front of three
00:52:28judges and only one restaurant will win.
00:52:33Representing the Davenport, Knoxville's most talked about fine dining room, we have up
00:52:39and coming superstar, Chef Hector Ramirez.
00:52:47And representing Corinne's Corner, the fastest-growing neighborhood favorite in the city, Chef Corinne
00:52:54Miller.
00:52:58And her partner in craft, Chef Troy Davenport.
00:53:04Now, both of these teams will present two dishes tonight.
00:53:09One signature dish that will define their kitchen, and one community dish that will define their
00:53:16story.
00:53:18I don't know about you, but I'm getting hungry talking about all this food.
00:53:22So let's get cooking!
00:53:39Hey.
00:53:41Breathe.
00:53:42You got this.
00:53:44Done this a thousand times.
00:53:46Don't let me mess this up.
00:53:47You won't.
00:53:48I got your back.
00:53:58You're shaking.
00:54:00Stop shaking.
00:54:02Hector!
00:54:03Darling!
00:54:04If you blow this, you blow it for everyone!
00:54:07Jesus, put some conviction in it.
00:54:23There she is.
00:54:25This is it?
00:54:27This is you.
00:54:36It's fine.
00:54:37You'll find his failure.
00:54:42That is the end of round one.
00:54:44Now, on to the judges.
00:55:03Wow.
00:55:06I was not expecting that.
00:55:08This might just be the best burger I've ever tasted.
00:55:21And the salmon?
00:55:23I mean, it's tasty, it was cooked well.
00:55:26I just feel it was missing personality.
00:55:32Yeah, I'm still searching for a pulse.
00:55:40Corinne just put the Davenport in a tight corner
00:55:42by sweeping the signature round.
00:55:47Now, let's see if Chef Hector can redeem himself
00:55:51with his community dish.
00:55:56I'm proud of you.
00:55:57It's not over yet.
00:56:05Round two, the community dish.
00:56:08Chefs, show us who you are.
00:56:13Chef, please tell us about your dish.
00:56:16We didn't have much growing up,
00:56:18but there was always food on the table.
00:56:22This is my mother's lentil soup.
00:56:32Chefs, begin.
00:56:39You can't serve this.
00:56:40It's bland, safe, dead.
00:56:42Julian's right.
00:56:43This bisque won't beat Corinne's stupid story.
00:56:47We need something emotional.
00:56:49So, what do you want?
00:56:51The pozole.
00:56:52The thing you made last night.
00:56:54You want me to cook my food?
00:56:56Yes, Hector, it's the only dish you've ever made
00:56:58with any kind of sole.
00:56:59It's the only thing that'll compete.
00:57:01We're losing.
00:57:02If you want to save us, then cook the damn bisole.
00:57:05Okay?
00:57:07Let's go.
00:57:11Make it like last night.
00:57:12Much better, actually.
00:57:20This is our shot.
00:57:22We got this.
00:57:37So, take me higher to make a deal.
00:57:44I'll rock through fire.
00:57:47I'll rock through fire.
00:57:50Just to feel.
00:58:00That is the end of round two.
00:58:11Oh, my God.
00:58:13I'm going to pass that.
00:58:14I've been all in my business.
00:58:15We got you.
00:58:17Chefs, present your dishes.
00:58:20Chef Corinne.
00:58:22This is my mother's lentil soup.
00:58:24We didn't have much, but it fed us both body and soul.
00:58:28I'd like to share it with you all tonight.
00:58:35I'd like to share it with you.
00:58:36Comfort.
00:58:38Soulful.
00:58:39Exactly what this round is all about.
00:58:50Chef Hector, I'm not cooking safe tonight.
00:58:55This is my abueless recipe.
00:58:57Sunday mornings, eight kids, one pot.
00:59:00Always enough.

01:02:37Tonight...
01:02:38I cooked who I really am.
01:02:40That dish...
01:02:41It was my abuela's love.
01:02:44For the first time in my life, I felt like a real chef.
01:02:48This is exactly what I saw when you first started working with me.
01:02:52I'm glad you found your way back.
01:03:03This whole experience made me realize the kind of chef I need to be.
01:03:08Then you're on the right path.
01:03:11Now I gotta go make sure my abuela didn't throw away all her old recipes.
01:03:20Yes!
01:03:21Damn!
01:03:23That food ran in here like his ass is on fire!
