00:00:05Hot pan chef behind.
00:00:09Music
00:00:19That's Troy Davenport. He's the chef and 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 believe Julian partnered with him.
00:00:31Listen up, everybody.
00:00:33Charles DuPont, America's top food critic,
00:00:36is here to review the Davenport.
00:00:38His influence could lead us to a Michelin star.

00:05:55Hector!
00:05:58scandal rocks the culinary world
00:06:01as all charges have been dropped
00:06:03against Chef Troy Davenport
00:06:08sources reveal the viral outburst stemmed from an affair between Julian Hartman, his business partner, and his girlfriend, Alaina Stewart.
00:06:18Reporting live in Knoxville, I'm Abby Pork.
00:06:22yo, you see what went down across the street? Shit's crazy. Hector put your phone away okay customers are complaining
00:06:28they're not getting what they ordered. Well if we had a system we wouldn't be drowning every goddamn night. Whoa,
00:06:33simmer down drama queen. Call me drama queen one more time and I dare you count on me. Enough okay?
00:06:42We're already behind.
00:06:44it's because you don't know how to run this kitchen. It's because you don't know how to run this kitchen.
00:06:47You know what? Troy's a genius. That's how you do it. Boop the mouth. Hector!
00:06:57I'm done!
00:07:01Where are you going?
00:07:07Hector! Hector, come on! Please, please, please, please, please. I need you to stay. Please. I need you. You need
00:07:16a lot of things, Corrine. I'm the least of your problems. I quit.
00:07:37What have you done? Your face is all over the news. I did what I had to do. Hey, where's
00:07:42my burger? This is cold. Seriously, what is taking so long? Are you sure you thought this through? Julian will
00:07:48destroy you. I gotta go. Where's our food?
00:07:54Your salads are coming, ma'am. I'm so sorry for the delay.
00:08:11Okay, so he's gone, but we'll just have to deal without him. Fuck! Guys, I could really use some help
00:08:17here.
00:08:21Corinne! Corinne! We're in trouble. Don't be surprised if we end up comping meals tonight.
00:08:25Corinne!
00:08:27Are you really using some help?
00:08:31Corinne! It's Corinne!
00:08:44Corinne! It's Corinne!
00:08:53Corinne!
00:09:01All right?
00:09:02All right?
00:09:07Let me out.
00:09:17What is he doing here?
00:09:19You, 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. You're only five tickets deep.
00:09:30Let me see the menu.
00:09:32It's pretty straightforward. Just be careful. Don't take Manny's knives and if you go into the walk-in, don't slam
00:09:40the door or it'll lock you out.
00:09:46Corinne, pull it together. He's just an arrogant chef. But God, he's hot.
00:10:34Manny, remember to use your safety words.
00:10:37Sorry, chef.
00:10:43You're a magician.
00:10:46Just 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. This ain't my first rodeo.
00:11:11On second thought?
00:11:15You got this.
00:11:16Hey, Table 3 is complaining it's too cold. And where is 7? We'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?
00:11:55Yes.
00:11:56We did. We started 15 minutes ago.
00:12:14Well, you survived the night. Thanks to you.
00:12:18I didn't do much.
00:12:19You 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 diamond dozen.
00:14:12You let me worry about that.
00:14:14Ungrateful 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!
00:14:26They'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.
00:14:46Get it?
00:14:54I was thinking beet salad with citrus vinaigrette.
00:14:58Beets?
00:14:59For dinner service?
00:15:01They're heavy.
00:15:02They stain.
00:15:03They 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?
00:15:52Hey, you.
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.
00:16:34You okay?
00:16:37Come on.
00:16:38Good morning.
00:16:51Fine.
00:17:15And what about you?
00:17:16I'm fine.
00:17:42We should get back.
00:17:45You're not getting this, Pete.
00:17:59Here you go.
00:18:01Pete salad.
00:18:02Really?
00:18:04See, I'm not the only one.
00:18:07Just saying.
00:18:08Wait, I didn't know we were picking sides.
00:18:11Who'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.
00:18:22That was dirt with personality.
00:18:24Exactly.
00:18:26God help us.
00:18:46This isn't food.
00:18:48It's dirt.
00:18:51You know what?
00:18:55Get out of my restaurant.
00:18:58Now.
00:19:05This isn't food.
00:19:06It's dirt.
00:19:08You know what?
00:19:14Hey, uh, can somebody clean up this garbage?
00:19:17Oh.
00:19:18Hey, so, um, go buy yourself a new apron.
00:19:22You look like a maid.
00:19:26Get out of my restaurant.
00:19:27Now.
00:19:28Pick up your money and leave before I make you leave.
00:19:31Troy, we need to talk.
00:19:32Anything you need to say to Troy, you can say right here.
00:19:36Oh.
00:19:42Hey.
00:19:43How long have you and Troy been fucking?
00:19:46Excuse me?
00:19:48Let me get something straight.
00:19:49You walk into my restaurant after fucking his business partner and you're going to accuse us?
00:19:55That's insane.
00:19:57Get out of my fucking restaurant before I press assault charges.
00:20:02Yeah.
00:20:03Good luck with that.
00:20:04So, I only came over here to warn you because Julian is furious.
00:20:09And I hope the two of you are ready for war because once we are done with you, you won't
00:20:14have any business left.
00:20:16Are you threatening me?
00:20:18Bitch, are you deaf?
00:20:19Get out.
00:20:20Now.
00:20:21I will ruin you.
00:20:24Do you hear me?
00:20:30What did you ever see in her?
00:20:32She knows how to get what she wants.
00:20:35But she doesn't have what it takes.
00:20:37She's not you.
00:20:39You have horrible taste in women.
00:20:41You have no idea.
00:20:42I have no idea.
00:20:48Julian!
00:20:50Julian!
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:52Troy and the dumb fucking bitch.
00:20:55Okay.
00:20:55They're not going anywhere.
00:20:56They just threatened us.
00:20:57Us.
00:20:58You need to figure something out now.
00:21:01Threaten us?
00:21:01You should have left him a long time ago.
00:21:05Bury both those assholes.
00:21:06You need to find a replacement now!
00:21:09Oh, I'm way ahead of you.
00:21:10Come with me.
00:21:17So, where is this magical replacement of yours?
00:21:23Who the hell is that?
00:21:25My name's Hector Ramirez.
00:21:27Okay.
00:21:28Congratulations.
00:21:30Julian says you need a new star.
00:21:32Lucky for you, I'm the upgrade.
00:21:34Troy was the past.
00:21:36This is the future of the Davenport.
00:21:39Plus, he used to work for Corinne
00:21:40and knows all of her weaknesses.
00:21:42We had a system for the way to Trotty.
00:21:44We've got that right.
00:21:48I'm done!
00:21:50Is that so?
00:21:51Because from where I'm standing,
00:21:54it looks like we're fucked.
00:21:57Give me two weeks in this kitchen
00:21:58and I'll make everyone forget Troy ever existed.
00:22:02That's the attitude we want.
00:22:04What do you say?
00:22:13Troy was the past.
00:22:15This is the future of the Davenport.
00:22:17What do you say?
00:22:24Fine.
00:22:26Deal.
00:22:27But I am watching you, okay?
00:22:29One wrong move and you're out.
00:22:33Good luck.
00:22:39It's just a bitch.
00:22:39I love it.
00:22:53What happened?
00:23:00Julian hired Hector?
00:23:02They gotta be desperate if they hired that asshole.
00:23:05Man, that guy's got some serious SPE.
00:23:08Small PP energy.
00:23:10Guy took over half my knife for all
00:23:11and that shit was expensive.
00:23:13You're a total.
00:23:14Julian did this on purpose.
00:23:16He wanted Troy to look replaceable.
00:23:19Julian likes to play dirty.
00:23:22Two can play at that game.
00:23:23What are we gonna do?
00:23:26We
00:23:27are gonna go to war.
00:23:28Mm-hmm.
00:23:29Ooh...
00:23:36Ooh!
00:23:41Oh!
00:23:41Oh no!
00:23:47Table 12's up!
00:23:49Let's move!
00:23:55You could have asked
00:23:58It needs salt
00:24:03Try it
00:24:32Okay, we talked about this
00:24:34And I want you taking over my kitchen
00:24:36I'm taking this seriously
00:24:40There's a difference
00:24:54Grin, wait
00:24:55Ma'am, the two are either going to kiss
00:24:57Or kill each other by Friday
00:24:59100%, both
00:25:04Grin, wait
00:25:05You made me look like a fool
00:25:07In front of my kitchen staff
00:25:08That's not what happened
00:25:09You were critiquing my food, saying it wasn't ready
00:25:12I said the dish wasn't ready
00:25:14I was just trying to help you
00:25:15I don't want your help
00:25:17Fine
00:25:19I'll leave
00:25:20No, you having a little lover's quarrel
00:25:28You're finished
00:25:31Say it again
00:25:32I fucking dare you
00:25:33Go ahead, Troy
00:25:34Beat me up in front of your new girlfriend
00:25:36She's not my fucking girlfriend
00:25:43I hope I'm not interrupting
00:25:46Mr. Depart
00:26:03Troy now works across the street
00:26:13At, uh, Corinne's corner
00:26:15Then, uh, who is your head chef?
00:26:18Hector Ramirez
00:26:19The chef I couldn't wait to fire
00:26:21Oh?
00:26:23I-I've never heard of him
00:26:24There's a reason for that
00:26:26How's that going, by the way?
00:26:29Great!
00:26:29Hector is five times the chef that Troy ever was
00:26:34Well, it seems we have quite the rivalry brewing in this little neighborhood
00:26:38I-I've been speaking with producers
00:26:41And we've spent the past few weeks
00:26:43Scouting the city's most talked about kitchens
00:26:46And everywhere I go
00:26:48I keep hearing about this feud
00:26:50Between the Davenport and Corinne's Corner
00:26:53So, I've come to formally invite you both to compete
00:26:58One week from tomorrow
00:27:00Dash of Fire crowns the best restaurant in the city
00:27:04Televised nationwide
00:27:06And frankly, rivalry like this makes excellent television
00:27:12And I'll be one of the judges
00:27:15The Davenport will always reign king here
00:27:18So, what happens when we win?
00:27:20If you win
00:27:21The winner gets national recognition on the show
00:27:25And a recommendation from me for a Michelin star
00:27:28What's the competition?
00:27:31Both restaurants will present one signature dish
00:27:34And the community dish
00:27:36Something meaningful that's rooted in who you are
00:27:43May the best restaurant win
00:27:46It will
00:27:53The competition is one week away
00:27:55If we beat the Davenport, we set the record straight
00:27:58Losing is not an option
00:27:59Does that mean we have to make one of those fancy smell dishes?
00:28:02I hope not
00:28:03No, we make what we know
00:28:07And for this competition, only Troy and I will be competing against Hector
00:28:11Well, luckily for us, we have the Davenport secret weapon
00:28:17Get ready for a Michelin boot camp
00:28:19Critics like Charles DuPont want mastery
00:28:21Not novelty
00:28:22They don't want to just taste something
00:28:25They want an experience
00:28:27That tells a story
00:28:29A dish that says who we are
00:28:32Exactly
00:28:33I've got some ideas
00:28:35Maybe we can listen to my ideas for once
00:28:38Well
00:28:40That's enough for me for one day
00:28:41I'm off the clock
00:28:43Goodnight
00:28:45You two, behave
00:28:47I'm leaving before this turns into a cage match
00:28:54I'm all ears
00:29:16Chef!
00:29:17Jeez, you scared the shit out of me
00:29:20What's going on?
00:29:22You're leaving so soon?
00:29:23I thought we were done for the day
00:29:25You are not done until we say you're done
00:29:28I know, ma'am
00:29:29That's harsh
00:29:30I've been putting in the work
00:29:31Harsh?
00:29:32Harsh is when you almost ruin our reputation in front of Charles DuPont
00:29:36Are you really going to do that to us?
00:29:38You're on thin ice, hermano
00:29:41So, here's how this is going to work from now on
00:29:43No more skipping out early
00:29:45No more laziness
00:29:46From now on, you follow our rules
00:29:48Capisce?
00:29:50What?
00:29:51Do you understand?
00:29:53Okay, okay, I hear you
00:29:54Do you?
00:29:55Because right now you look like someone who needs to go home and think very carefully
00:30:00You've done enough damage for one day, Hector
00:30:03So go home
00:30:04But you better come back a better man tomorrow
00:30:07Or don't bother coming back at all
00:30:10Okay, I'll do better
00:30:12I promise
00:30:14Okay, get back to work, guys
00:30:26We need a menu with heart
00:30:29Heart is good
00:30:29This is still a competition
00:30:31We need a winning dish
00:30:32It needs to represent both of us
00:30:35It needs to mean something
00:30:37It will
00:30:38Let's try both dishes
00:30:40Fine
00:30:40Let's get the ingredients
00:30:59Tell me you did not just let the door slam
00:31:00What?
00:31:07Why is the door locked?
00:31:09Door locks automatically
00:31:21Door locks automatically
00:31:23This is really bad
00:31:25How was I supposed to know?
00:31:26I would have fixed it if you would have told me already
00:31:28I believe it was one of the first things that I told you
00:31:35Yep, no service
00:31:37Great, we're going to be stuck here until tomorrow
00:31:39Just take a deep breath
00:31:41Take a deep breath?
00:31:42I can't be calm right now, okay?
00:31:45It's freezing in here
00:31:46And to make matters worse, we still don't have a dish yet
00:31:49I mean, they're both wrong
00:31:51They're not wrong
00:31:52They're just not us
00:31:56Yet
00:31:57Us?
00:31:59It has to be something that we build
00:32:01Together
00:32:11Here, you're freezing
00:32:13I'm fine
00:32:17I know I push you
00:32:19Constantly
00:32:22What?
00:32:24You stood up for me
00:32:25In front of DuPont
00:32:26And you didn't have to do that
00:32:30Thank you
00:32:32I want to
00:32:39I'm not a Saint Korean
00:32:41I'm not a romantic
00:32:42I don't see pretty things
00:32:44I'm used to being in charge
00:32:46Of everything
00:32:47The kitchen, menu, myself
00:32:49But when it comes to you
00:32:52I just get in my head
00:32:54And the only thing I want to do
00:32:56Is to
00:33:05Sorry, I just needed to shut you up
00:33:10I don't want to do that
00:33:11I don't want to do that
00:33:11I don't want to do that
00:33:13I don't want to do that
00:33:14I don't want to do that
00:33:15I don't want to do that
00:33:15I don't want to do that
00:33:18I don't want to do that
00:33:19I don't want to do that
00:33:20I don't want to do that
00:33:22I don't want to do that
00:33:22I don't want to do that
00:33:23I don't want to do that
00:33:24I don't want to do that
00:33:25I don't want to do that
00:33:25I don't want to do that
00:33:26I don't want to do that
00:33:26I don't want to do that
00:33:29I don't want to do that
00:33:30I don't want to do that
00:33:35I don't want to do that
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?
00:34:13I'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?
00:34:37Yes, 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.
00:35:06Excellent.
00:35:08You got 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.
00:35:43You 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 were studying me.
00:37:07Did Julian put you up to this?
00:37:10Don'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 barricade?
00:37:23Shh.
00:37:24Try it.
00:37:26Try it!
00:37:28Try it!
00:37:28Let go!
00:37:29Let go!
00:37:30Let go!
00:37:31Let go!
00:37:33Let go!
00:37:35Let go!
00:37:35Let go!
00:37:35Let go!
00:37:37Try it!
00:37:38Wait!
00:37:39Try it!
00:37:48Uh-oh.
00:37:49Looks like there's trouble in paradise.
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.
00:38:12Who was that?
00:38:14A friend of mine.
00:38:17I don't know, Jolene.
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...
00:38:47Let 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 Davenport.
00:39:18Not because I wanted to destroy you.
00:39:21I...
00:39:22I 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.
00:39:50And stop running.
00:40:14I'm running out of hands here.
00:40:18Man, this shit is ridiculous.
00:40:22Oh, come on.
00:40:24I'm running out of hands here.
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.
00:40:31Where the hell are they?
00:40:34Hi, I'm so sorry.
00:40:34I'm so sorry. Thank you so much for your patience.
00:40:36Hi, I know. I thank you.
00:40:37Your drinks will be right out shortly.
00:40:39Hi, ladies. Thank you so much for your patience.
00:40:40I know, I know.
00:40:42I'll see you in just a moment. I'm so sorry.
00:40:43Take your time, honey.
00:40:56Oh!
00:41:02Oh, my God. What's going on?
00:41:04Your restaurant is crawling with roaches.
00:41:07What? What?
00:41:09No.
00:41:09Oh, whoa, roaches. That's no good.
00:41:11See, my name is John Cooper.
00:41:14I'm the health inspector.
00:41:16Yeah, work for Health and Sanitation there, people.
00:41:19And I'm seeing a lot of improper activity.
00:41:21I'm seeing rat feces, roach activity.
00:41:25This is no good.
00:41:26Whoa, that's impossible.
00:41:28I literally just cleaned that.
00:41:29Hey, that's enough on you two's, okay?
00:41:31Any one of them violations warrants an immediate shutdown.
00:41:35No, no, no, no. Please, sir, don't do this.
00:41:36We don't have roaches.
00:41:38Uh-huh.
00:41:38That's what the last three restaurants said also.
00:41:40Oh, God.
00:41:41Mmm, sorry, toots.
00:41:43Unfortunately, it looks like you guys are temporarily closed.
00:41:47Eh?
00:41:47What?
00:41:48Sorry.
00:41:49Oh, my God.
00:41:50Have a good day.
00:41:52Yes.
00:41:54I don't know what just happened.
00:42:09Oh, thank God.
00:42:12Please tell me that this is a dream and that you've brought coffee.
00:42:15What happened?
00:42:16We got hit hard.
00:42:19That big-headed, goofy-ass inspector came while y'all were gone.
00:42:22We got roaches and rat poo-poo.
00:42:25Things I know went there two hours earlier.
00:42:27We had to send every table home.
00:42:29Our customers were posting videos.
00:42:31Somebody already tagged us as ratatouille, but the horror reboot.
00:42:36We didn't do any of this.
00:42:38Yeah, we know.
00:42:40That goofy-ass inspector...
00:42:42...rat-fishing...
00:42:44...closed us down, made all of our customers leave.
00:42:47Yeah, it's costing us $1,800 in sales, too, because we had to comp everybody.
00:42:51Not to mention the fines.
00:42:53This wasn't an accident.
00:42:54This was Julian.
00:42:56He waited till we let our guard down.
00:42:58This is my fault.
00:42:59Hey!
00:43:00Hey, Troy!
00:43:01Don't do anything stupid!
00:43:02Troy!
00:43:03Troy!
00:43:04Wait!
00:43:11Troy!
00:43:13Troy, what are we doing?
00:43:16Taking you on your first date.
00:43:17Date?
00:43:18Right now?
00:43:19No.
00:43:19Sir, um, do you have a reservation?
00:43:21Yeah, Julian saved this table for us.
00:43:26This is absolutely insane.
00:43:29I told you, next time you were here, dinner was on the house.
00:43:32What the hell is he doing here?
00:43:34Trying to cause a scene, probably.
00:43:37No, thank you.
00:43:38We'll have the whole menu.
00:43:40Two of everything.
00:43:42Two of everything.
00:43:43You heard right?
00:43:47Are you sure we should be doing this?
00:43:49Relax.
00:43:50We could have him thrown in prison for the stunt that they pulled earlier with the health inspector.
00:43:54How do you know that was a stunt?
00:43:56It's not signed.
00:43:59Right out of Julian's playbook.
00:44:01I think I know exactly what's going on.
00:44:03I know exactly what's going on.
00:44:08I know exactly what's going on.
00:44:08Chef Ramirez, we need two of everything for table 12.
00:44:12Seriously?
00:44:13How big is the party?
00:44:14Two.
00:44:15Oh, hell no.
00:44:16That's too much food.
00:44:18I'll talk to them.
00:44:19Chefs, hold down the kitchen.
00:44:21Yes, Chef.
00:44:32What are you two doing here?
00:44:34Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:44:36What's the matter?
00:44:37Do you think you can just come here and boss me around?
00:44:40We ordered our two.
00:44:41Who orders two of everything?
00:44:43We did.
00:44:45Is that a problem?
00:44:50So, you two are the reason the governor of Tennessee and his wife won't be sitting at their favorite table
00:44:55tonight.
00:44:56Well, this is an absolutely lovely table.
00:45:01They're fucking with us.
00:45:02Play along.
00:45:04I heard your restaurant was on the verge of being shut down for failing that inspection.
00:45:08You really shouldn't believe everything you hear.
00:45:10And the next time your friend sticks this on the door, make sure he signs it.
00:45:15I don't know what you're talking about, but I'll be happy to throw this out for you.
00:45:19While you're at it, do you mind getting me a glass of wine?
00:45:22We'll have a bottle of Opus.
00:45:23Mmm.
00:45:24It's a $1,200 bottle.
00:45:26Great.
00:45:26We'll have two.
00:45:48This is my signature rare steak.
00:45:51Cooked medium well.
00:45:54Bold interpretation.
00:45:55Take it back before it starts to cry.
00:45:57Hmm.
00:45:58Just mine too.
00:46:04Oh, my signature recipe.
00:46:08Somehow more glutinous and disgusting than I thought possible.
00:46:12Remarkable.
00:46:14Can you please take it back?
00:46:23That is my Branzino technique.
00:46:25Cooked by someone who obviously hates fish.
00:46:28We're good.
00:46:32Chef, tables 3, 9, and 16 are not happy with the wait.
00:46:35We'll send them a free fucking dessert.
00:46:37And we're trying our best here.
00:46:39Fuck!
00:46:40Fucking fuck!
00:46:42I'm out of here.
00:46:43Chef, hurry the fuck up!
00:46:47Ben?
00:46:48Enough is enough.
00:46:52Enough is enough.
00:46:54It looks like the trigger are having fun.
00:46:57More than you could imagine.
00:46:59You've made your point.
00:47:01Are you done?
00:47:02You're disrupting our other guests.
00:47:06Are we disrupting you guys?
00:47:10Hmm.
00:47:11They said no.
00:47:16You really think you're winning here?
00:47:18If this were a game,
00:47:20we would have already won.
00:47:22We'll go easy on you.
00:47:25Opus tends to soften and blow.
00:47:27You are...
00:47:28You are not welcome, you...
00:47:33You know, I'd be careful about pushing us out,
00:47:36especially after the little stunt that you and Julian pulled earlier.
00:47:43I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:47:46I didn't do anything.
00:47:48You're a terrible actor.
00:47:49And a worse criminal,
00:47:50it makes you guys a good match.
00:47:53The health inspector coming to the door.
00:47:57The spoiled food, the roaches.
00:47:59It's all on camera.
00:48:02You're bluffing.
00:48:04Maybe.
00:48:05Maybe not.
00:48:07Ask yourself,
00:48:08can you afford for me to not be telling the truth right now?
00:48:12I mean, with the competition days away.
00:48:21Exactly.
00:48:24Well, thank you so much for the free meal.
00:48:28It was awful.
00:48:30Tell Hector he can keep that recipe he stole.
00:48:33That's on camera too.
00:48:37Everyone, enjoy your dinner.
00:48:39And make sure to tip your weight staff.
00:48:41They're severely underpaid.
00:48:50You're right.
00:48:52You're right.
00:48:54I want to go to the shop.
00:48:55We need to figure out our signature dish.
00:48:58For the competition.
00:49:00Try.
00:49:00You know the new Sh generators guy.
00:49:01Sorry, you leave the way.
00:49:04No.
00:49:05This is your kitchen.
00:49:07Your name's on the door.
00:49:09The dish has to come from you.
00:49:12Authenticity is the only way we win this.
00:49:16But people expect me.
00:49:17Sure, they expect me.
00:49:20That's why we're not doing my dish.
00:49:26Chef, you got this.
00:49:40And we're going to do the burger.
00:49:42It's the reason I fell in love with cooking in the first place.
00:49:45That's the answer.
00:49:47Classic.
00:49:49If they want to know who we are, we'll show them the dish that opened our doors.
00:49:55Let's make it perfect.
00:50:16I can't do this.
00:50:27Jesus, this is awful.
00:50:29God, please tell me you're not cooking this shit for the competition.
00:50:33Hector, get your shit together.
00:50:35This is fucking embarrassing.
00:50:36Stick with these recipes or you're out of here.
00:50:47What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:50:49Those recipes are going to help us win this competition.
00:50:57Okay, now, what are you doing?
00:51:00My abuela used to make this every Sunday.
00:51:04Pozole.
00:51:07Fed eight of us on $10.
00:51:10Food that meant something.
00:51:13Nobody gives a fuck about your abuela.
00:51:15We need a dish that represents the Davenport.
00:51:21Maybe that's where your food here has no soul.
00:51:23Excuse me?
00:51:26You want a winning dish?
00:51:28Here it is.
00:51:30The first thing I cook here that actually feels like me.
00:51:40This better not suck or you're finished.
00:51:43You hear me?
00:51:43Where are you from?
00:52:10Ladies and gentlemen.
00:52:13I'm your host, Sebastian Valle.
00:52:19Welcome to A Dash of Fire,
00:52:24where culinary mastery is put to the test
00:52:27in front of three judges, and only one restaurant will win.
00:52:33Representing the Davenport,
00:52:35Knoxville's most talked-about fine dining room,
00:52:38we have up-and-coming superstar,
00:52:40Chef Hector Ramirez.
00:52:47And representing Corinne's corner,
00:52:49the fastest-growing neighborhood favorite in the city,
00:52:53Chef Corinne Miller.
00:52:58And her partner in craft, Chef Troy Davenport.
00:53:04Now, both of these teams will present two dishes tonight.
00:53:08One signature dish that will define their kitchen,
00:53:13and one community dish that will define their story.
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!
00:53:40Hey, breathe. You got this.
00:53:44Guns a thousand times.
00:53:45Don't let me mess this up.
00:53:47Whoa.
00:53:49I got your back.
00:53:52We're gonna win.
00:53:58You're shaking.
00:54:00Stop shaking.
00:54:02Hector! Darling!
00:54:04If you blow this, you blow it for everyone!
00:54:08Jesus.
00:54:08Put some conviction in it.
00:54:23There she is.
00:54:24And this is it.
00:54:28This is you.
00:54:36It's Vine.
00:54:37Vine is failure.
00:54:42That is the end of round one.
00:54:44Now on to the judges.
00:55:02Wow!
00:55:05I was not expecting that.
00:55:08This might just be the best burger I've ever tasted.
00:55:20And the salmon.
00:55:22I mean, it's tasty.
00:55:24It was cooked well.
00:55:26I just feel it's missing personality.
00:55:29Oh!
00:55:32Yeah, I'm still searching for a pulse.
00:55:40Corinne just put the Davenport in a tight corner by sweeping the signature round.
00:55:47Now, let's see if Chef Hector can redeem himself with his community dish.
00:55:56I'm proud of you.
00:55:57It's not over yet.
00:56:05Round two.
00:56:07The community dish.
00:56:08Chefs.
00:56:11Show us who you are.
00:56:13Chef, please tell us about your dish.
00:56:16We didn't have much growing up, but there was always food on the table.
00:56:22This is my mother's lentil soup.
00:56:32Chefs.
00:56:33Begin.
00:56:38You can't serve this.
00:56:40It's bland.
00:56:41Safe.
00:56:41Dead.
00:56:42Julian's right.
00:56:44This bisque won't beat Corinne's stupid story.
00:56:47We need something emotional.
00:56:49So, what do you want?
00:56:51The basole.
00:56:52The thing you made last night.
00:56:54You want me to cook my food?
00:56:56Yes, Hector.
00:56:57It's the only dish you've ever made with any kind of soul.
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 basole.
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.
00:57:31This is our shot.
00:57:35We 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.
00:57:59That is the end of round two.
00:58:11Oh, my God.
00:58:13I'm gonna 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.
00:58:34I'd like to share it with you.
00:58:36Comfort.
00:58:38Soul.
00:58:39Exactly what this round is all about.
00:58:50Chef Hector.
00:58:52I'm not looking safe tonight.
00:58:55This is my abundance recipe.
00:58:57Sunday mornings, eight kids, one pot.
00:59:01Always enough.
00:59:02It's my home on a plate.
00:59:05Okay.
00:59:06That was smooth.
00:59:08Real smooth.
00:59:11This is remarkable.
00:59:13When dare I even say unbelievable.
00:59:17Oh, no.
00:59:20There's a reason why we kept that guy around, and there it is.
00:59:23Both dishes are extraordinary, but one edge is fourth with depth and aroma and boldness.
00:59:32Boldness.
00:59:34Round winner.
00:59:39Round winner.
00:59:41Hector Ramirez.
00:59:44Yes.
00:59:45Yes.
00:59:47Yes.
00:59:48Yes.
00:59:53Yes.
00:59:54This competition awards points based on two dishes.
00:59:58Now, as per the rules, the overall winner is the chef whose dishes most faithfully reflect their restaurant's identity and
01:00:10mission.
01:00:21You're a winner, by cumulative decision, is...
01:00:34The winner is Corinne's Corner.
01:00:37You're a winner, Corinne's Corner!
01:00:40Yeah!
01:00:49Your winner is Corinne's Corner!
01:00:54Who?
01:00:55I don't even care if you're embarrassing yourself.
01:00:57You're a rat.
01:01:06Whoa, whoa.
01:01:09This is my town.
01:01:11You're nothing without me.
01:01:12Not anymore.
01:01:13This clown.
01:01:14Security, remove me.
01:01:16I'm sorry, they're off me.
01:01:17They're off.
01:01:18This is my town.
01:01:36Yikes.
01:01:37Um, listen, he didn't deserve me and you two didn't deserve what I did.
01:01:48Um, I'm so ashamed of all the things that I said and I let happen.
01:01:52And I'm really, really sorry, Troy.
01:01:58I forgive you.
01:02:03And I'm happy for you too.
01:02:06Truly.
01:02:14That feels better than a victory.
01:02:16Take the words right out of my mouth.
01:02:25Chef Corinne.
01:02:28Chef Troy.
01:02:29I need to thank you.
01:02:31And I'm sorry for being part of all the shit Julian pulled.
01:02:36Tonight,
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.
01:03:22Damn!
01:03:23That food ran in here like his ass is on fire.
01:03:25What's the problem with that was all they did?
01:03:27It's just unpredictable.
01:03:28I don't think that's what happened, Bart.
01:03:30You never know.
01:03:32So, now what?
01:03:33I don't know.
01:03:47Chef behind.
01:03:48Table 12's up.
01:03:50Let's move.
01:03:55Hi.
01:03:56That's the key.
01:04:08I got a delivery for Chef Corinne Miller.
01:04:18Oh my god.
01:04:20What is it?
01:04:23We did it.
01:04:35Sorry.
01:04:36I only kissed my girlfriend.
01:04:39So?
01:04:40Do you want to be my girlfriend?
01:04:42Yes.
01:04:43I'll be your girlfriend.
01:04:45Now kiss me.
01:05:03I don't know.
01:05:04I have to meet you all.
01:05:05I have to meet you all.
01:05:07I'm.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
