00:00:00We bring in, we bring in, we bring in the fire.
00:00:04Love is a hot and it's hot.
00:00:06Hot pan chef, behind.
00:00:07We bring in, we bring in the fire.
00:00:10Bring in the fire.
00:00:11Take us higher.
00:00:19That's Troy Davenport.
00:00:20He'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 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 alone 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?
00:03:27You're so bad.
00:03:42Son of a bitch.
00:03:52What the fuck happened here?
00:03:57We are so sorry.
00:03:58Your meal's on the house tonight.
00:04:01Yes!
00:04:18Troy.
00:04:20Get off of him!
00:04:21Ah!
00:04:25You're finished.
00:04:26You're right.
00:04:27I am finished! With both of you!
00:04:29Droid, wait! I 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, Droid. This 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.
00:04:48I guess this is all I had. I'm done.
00:04:55Fuck you.
00:05:02Oh my gosh, that's Troy Davenport.
00:05:04Fuck off.
00:05:06He's gorgeous.
00:05:12Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
00:05:15I need a drink.
00:05:24That's Troy Davenport.
00:05:25I heard he just beat up his balls.
00:05:37Hey, where's my burger?
00:05:39Where's our food?
00:05:45Ugh.
00:05:47Fuck.
00:05:50Hey, what do I have to do to get a drink around here?
00:05:53Hector!
00:05:54Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
00:05:56Hector!
00:05:58Scandal rocks the culinary world.
00:06:00Oh-ho-ho!
00:06:01Orale!
00:06:01As all charges have been dropped against Chef Troy Davenport.
00:06:07All right, Papa!
00:06:09Sources reveal the viral outburst stemmed from an affair between Julian Hartman, his business
00:06:15partner, and his girlfriend, Elena Stewart.
00:06:18Reporting live in Knoxville, I'm Abby Pork.
00:06:22Yo!
00:06:23You 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!
00:06:39I dare you, Comron!
00:06:41Enough!
00:06:42Okay?
00:06:42We'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!
00:07:10Come on!
00:07:10Please!
00:07:10Please!
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?
00:07:42It's cold.
00:07:43Seriously, what is taking so long?
00:07:45Are you sure you've thought this through?
00:07:47Julian will destroy you.
00:07:50I gotta go.
00:07:52Where'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?
00:08:32It's Rick!
00:08:33It's Rick!
00:08:36It's Rick!
00:08:45Who are you?
00:08:53All right?
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?
00:09:21You'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, and if you go into the walk-in,
00:09:40don't slam the door, or it'll lock you out.
00:09:46Corrine, pull it together.
00:09:47He's just an arrogant chef.
00:09:49My God is hot.
00:10:03My God is hot.
00:10:07I'm not.
00:10:09I'm not.
00:10:10I'm not.
00:10:13I'm not.
00:10:14I'm not.
00:10:25Ah.
00:10:27I thought I knew how to stand alone.
00:10:34Manny, remember to use your safety words.
00:10:37Sorry, Chef.
00:10:43You're a magician.
00:10:46Just...
00:10:46tidying up some loose ends.
00:10:49Hey, Manny, stop working.
00:11:02Manny, not like that.
00:11:05You gotta control the pan.
00:11:07All 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?
00:11:21Oh, 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.
00:11:58No.
00:12:14Well, you survived the night.
00:12:16Thanks to you.
00:12:18I didn't do much.
00:12:19You did everything.
00:12:22You 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.
00:13:02I 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?
00:13:40I am.
00:13:43I am.
00:13:44I am.
00:13:44I am.
00:13:48I am.
00:13:50I am.
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.
00:14:24Huh.
00:14:26Hey.
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.
00:14:46Got 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, ten 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, uh, meltdown, right?
00:15:58What 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.
00:16:34Is she a total downgrade?
00:16:36Are you okay?
00:16:37Come on.
00:16:48Hi.
00:16:51Fine.
00:17:15And what about you?
00:17:16I'm fine.
00:17:42I'm fine.
00:17:43Shit, we should get back.
00:17:45You're not getting this, Pete.
00:17:57I'm fine.
00:17:59Here you go.
00:18:01Beet salad.
00:18:02Really?
00:18:04See?
00:18:05I'm not the only one.
00:18:07Just saying.
00:18:08Wait.
00:18:09I 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.
00:18:22Yeah, but dirt with personality.
00:18:25Exactly.
00:18:26God help us.
00:18:47This isn't food.
00:18:48It's dirt.
00:18:49Oh.
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.
00:19:07Oh.
00:19:08You know what?
00:19:13Hey, 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.
00:19:29Before 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.
00:19:42Hey.
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 gonna 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.
00:20:23I will ruin you.
00:20:24You 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.
00:20:38You have horrible taste in women.
00:20:41You have no idea.
00:20:48Julian!
00:20:50Julian!
00:20:52Okay, Troy and that dumb fucking bitch.
00:20:55Okay, they're not going anywhere.
00:20:56They just threatened us.
00:20:58Us!
00:20:58You need to figure something out now.
00:21:01Threaten us?
00:21:02You 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, congratulations.
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 and knows all of her weaknesses.
00:21:42We had a system for the way to Trotty.
00:21:44We got that right.
00:21:48I'm done!
00:21:50Is that so?
00:21:51Because from where I'm standing, it looks like we're fucked.
00:21:57Give me two weeks in this kitchen and 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.
00:22:34Good luck.
00:22:38She's 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.
00:23:04Man, that guy's got some serious SPE.
00:23:08Small PP energy.
00:23:09That guy took over half my knife for all and that shit was expensive.
00:23:13What a total.
00:23:14Julian did this on purpose.
00:23:16He wanted Troy to look replaceable.
00:23:19Julian likes to play dirty.
00:23:21Two can play at that game.
00:23:23What are we gonna do?
00:23:26We...
00:23:27Are gonna go to war.
00:23:49We...
00:23:50Are gonna go to war.
00:23:54Yeah.
00:23:55You could've asked.
00:23:59It needs salt.
00:24:03Try it.
00:24:04When you look at me like that.
00:24:08It's got me all hot.
00:24:12A dash of fire and sex.
00:24:15Boiling over in the pot.
00:24:21I get the night is burning passion between us.
00:24:26But you gotta cool your fire and let me cook.
00:24:31Damn it.
00:24:32Okay, we talked about this.
00:24:34And I want you taking over my kitchen.
00:24:37I'm taking this seriously.
00:24:40There's a difference.
00:24:54Grin, wait.
00:24:55Ma'am, the two are either gonna kiss or kill each other by Friday.
00:24:59100%.
00:24:59Both.
00:25:04Grin, wait.
00:25:05You made me look like a fool in 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.
00:25:20Oh, you having a little lover's quarrel?
00:25:28You finished it!
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.
00:25:37She's not my fucking girlfriend!
00:25:41Mm-hmm.
00:25:43I hope I'm not interrupting.
00:25:46Mr. Depart.
00:25:52She's not my fucking girlfriend!
00:25:57I hope I'm not interrupting.
00:25:59Mr. Depart.
00:26:01Troy Davenport.
00:26:03You know, I've been hearing quite a lot about you lately.
00:26:05Rumor has it you've taken up residence across the street.
00:26:08The rumors are true, Mr. Depart.
00:26:11Troy now works across the street at, uh, Corinne's Corner.
00:26:16Then 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'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.
00:26:38Now, I've been speaking with producers, and we've spent the past few weeks scouting the city's most talked-about kitchens.
00:26:46And everywhere I go, I keep hearing about this feud between Davenport and Corinne's Corner.
00:26:54So, I've come to formally invite you both to compete.
00:26:59One week from tomorrow, Dash of Fire crowns the best restaurant in the city, televised nationwide.
00:27:06And frankly, rivalry like this makes excellent television.
00:27:13And 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, and a recommendation from me for a Michelin star.
00:27:29What's the competition?
00:27:31Both restaurants will present one signature dish.
00:27:34And the community dish, something 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.
00:28:00Does that mean you have to make one of those fancy smell dishes?
00:28:02Eh, I hope not.
00:28:04No.
00:28:04We 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 bootcamp.
00:28:19Critics like Charles DuPont want mastery, not 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.
00:28:39Well...
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.
00:28:55I'm all ears.
00:29:17Chef!
00:29:18Jeez, 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 gonna do that to us?
00:29:38You're on thin ice, hermano.
00:29:41So, here's how this is gonna work from now on.
00:29:44No more skipping out early.
00:29:45No more laziness.
00:29:47From now on you follow our rules.
00:29:49Capisce?
00:29:50What?
00:29:51Do you understand?
00:29:53Okay, okay, I hear you.
00:29:55Do 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, so go home.
00:30:04But you better come back a better man tomorrow or 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.
00:30:28Heart is good, but this is still a competition.
00:30:31We need a winning dish.
00:30:33It needs to represent both of us.
00:30:36It needs to mean something.
00:30:37It will.
00:30:38Let's try both dishes.
00:30:40Fine.
00:30:41Let's get the ingredients.
00:30:58Tell me you did not just let the door slam.
00:31:01What?
00:31:07Why is the door locked?
00:31:09Door locked 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.
00:31:36No service.
00:31:37Great.
00:31:38We'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?
00:32:00It has to be something that we build together.
00:32:11Here, you're freezing.
00:32:13I'm fine.
00:32:17I know I push you.
00:32:19Constantly.
00:32:23But you stood up for me in front of DuPont and you didn't have to do that.
00:32:32I want to...
00:32:39I'm not a saint Korean.
00:32:41I'm not a mantic.
00:32:43I don't see pretty things.
00:32:44I'm used to being in charge of everything.
00:32:47The kitchen, menu, myself.
00:32:49But when it comes to you, I just get in my head and the only thing I want to do
00:32:56is to...
00:33:05Sorry, I just needed to shake you up.
00:33:13You held close my arm.
00:33:15You didn't need to take this.
00:33:18I'm not?
00:33:18I'm not me.
00:33:19No, no.
00:33:19No.
00:33:22No.
00:33:23No.
00:33:28No, no.
00:33:28No, no, no.
00:33:30No, no.
00:33:30No, I don't need to.
00:33:30No, no.
00:33:30No, no.
00:33:30No, go.
00:33:30No, no.
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.
00:34:15Okay, this 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.
00:35:08You 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'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?
00:37:24Try it.
00:37:26Try it.
00:37:37Try it.
00:37:38Try it.
00:37:38Try it.
00:37:39Try it.
00:37:42Try it.
00:37:44Wait.
00:37:47Try 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.
00:38:00We had numerous health code violations.
00:38:04Yeah, Corinne's corner on Main Street.
00:38:06Shut it down.
00:38:07Make 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, 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.
00:38:42I just needed some space.
00:38:45Please, Troy, just let me explain.
00:38:49I'm listening.
00:38:51Look, I 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, I wrote, beat Troy down on boards.
00:39:18Not because I wanted to destroy you.
00:39:21I needed something to chase.
00:39:25Because you'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.
00:39:40Promise 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.
00:39:50Let's stop running.

00:52:09Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host, Sebastian Valle.
00:52:19Welcome to A Dash of Fire.
00:52:21Yeah!
00:52:24Where culinary mastery is put to the test in front of three judges and only one restaurant will win.
00:52:33Representing the Davenport, Knoxville's most talked about fine dining room, we have up-and-coming superstar Chef Hector Ramirez.
00:52:47And representing Corinne's corner, the fastest-growing neighborhood favorite in the city, Chef Corinne Miller.
00:52:58And her partner in craft, Chef Troy Davenport.
00:53:04Now, both of these teams will present two dishes tonight.
00:53:09One 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!
00:53:24Yay!
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.
00:53:47Whoa.

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.
00:54:11Fire on flames, put me through it.
00:54:15Get me back.
00:54:16Get me back and change.
00:54:17Fire on flames, put me through it.
00:54:20Get me back.
00:54:23There she is.
00:54:25This is it?
00:54:27This is you.
00:54:29This is you.
00:54:35It's Vine.
00:54:37Vine is failure.
00:54:42That is the end of round one, and now 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 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.
00:55:58It'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, but 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. It's bland, safe, dead.
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 pozole. The 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 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 pozole.
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.
00:57:39To make a deal.
00:57:43I'll rock through fire.
00:57:49Just 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.
00:58:36Comfort.
00:58:39Soulful.
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.
00:58:58Sunday 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 small.
00:59:08Real small.
00:59:11This is remarkable.
00:59:13I mean, dare I even say unbelievable.
00:59:17Oh, no.
00:59:18Oh, 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.
00:59:35Round winner.
00:59:40Round winner, Hector Ramirez.
00:59:53However, this 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
01:00:07their restaurant's identity and mission.

01:00:39Corinne's Corner!
01:00:41Corinne's Corner!
01:00:43Corinne's Corner!
01:00:49What?
01:00:50This is real!
01:00:52I beg your pardon.
01:00:54Corinne, you're embarrassing yourself.
01:00:57You're right.
01:00:59Woo!
01:01:00Woo!
01:01:00Woo!
01:01:00Woo!
01:01:02Woo!
01:01:03Woo!
01:01:04Woo!
01:01:06Woo!
01:01:07Woo!
01:01:08Woo!
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 it!
01:01:16I found it, they're off me!
01:01:17They're off!
01:01:18This is my town!
01:01:35Yikes, um, 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 and I'm really, really sorry,
01:01:56Troy.
01:01:58I forgive you.
01:02:03And I'm happy for you two.
01:02:06Truly.
01:02:14That feels better than victory.
01:02:16Take the words right out of my mouth.
01:02:25Chef Corinne, Chef Troy, I need to thank you.
01:02:31And I'm sorry for being part of all the shit Julian pulled.
01:02:37Tonight, I cooked who I really am.
01:02:40That dish, it 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.
01:03:10Now I gotta go make sure my abuela didn't throw away all her old recipes.
01:03:20Yeah.
01:03:22Damn, that food ran in here like his ass is on fire.
01:03:25There's a problem with that bozole dish.
01:03:27It's unpredictable.
01:03:28I don't think that's what happened, but you never know.
01:03:31So, now what?
01:03:47Chef behind?
01:03:48Table 12's up.
01:03:50Let's move.
01:03:51Let's move.
01:03:55Hi.
01:03:56How's it going?
01:04:07Got 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, do you want to be my girlfriend?
01:04:42Yes.
01:04:43I'll be your girlfriend.
01:04:45Now kiss me.
01:04:49Oh, I can't use that one.
01:04:57Oh, what do you know?
01:05:01Yeah.
