00:05:38Hey, where's my burger?
00:05:40Where's our food?
00:05:47What do I have to do to get a drink around here?
00:05:56Hector!
00:05:58Scandal rocks the culinary world
00:06:00Oh, that lady!
00:06:02As all charges have been dropped against Chef Troy Davenport
00:06:08Hi, Papa!
00:06:09Sources reveal the viral outburst stem 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? Shit's crazy!
00:06:26Hector, put your phone away, okay? Customers 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! Simmer down, drama queen
00:06:37Call me drama queen one more time, I dare you come on
00:06:41Enough! Okay, we're already behind
00:06:44It's because you don't know how to run this kitchen
00:06:47You know what?
00:06:50Troy's a genius
00:06:52That's how you do it
00:06:55Hector!
00:06:58I'm done!
00:07:01Where are you going?
00:07:08Hector

00:07:16You need a lot of things, Corrine
00:07:17I'm the least of your problems
00:07:19I quit
00:07:37I
00:07:37What have you done? Your face is all over the news
00:07:39I did what I had to do
00:07:41Hey, where's my burger?
00:07:43It's cold, seriously, what is taking so long?
00:07:46Are you sure you've thought this through?
00:07:48Julian will destroy you
00:07:50I gotta go
00:07:53Where's our food?
00:07:54Your salads are coming, ma'am
00:07:56I'm so sorry for the delay
00:08:11Okay, so he's gone, but we'll just have to deal without him
00:08:16Fuck! Guys, I could really use some help here
00:08:21Corrine
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?

00:09:08Let me out.
00:09:18What is he doing here?
00:09:20You, turn the heat down.
00:09:22Huh?
00:09:22You're burning the scallops.
00:09:24Oh, shit.
00:09:26Everybody take a deep breath.
00:09:27Only five tickets to eat.
00:09:29Okay.
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.
00:09:48He's just an arrogant chef.
00:09:50But God, he's hot.
00:10:24Let's go.
00:10:29I need you.
00:10:34Manny, remember to use your safety words.
00:10:38Sorry, Chef.
00:10:43You're a magician.
00:10:46Just tidying up some loose ends.
00:10:49Hey, Manny, stop working.
00:10:55Fighting the same fire from different sides.
00:11:03Manny, not like that.
00:11:05You gotta control the pain.
00:11:08All right, Prince Charming.
00:11:10This ain't my first rodeo.
00:11:12On second thought.
00:11:15You got this.
00:11:16Hey, table three is complaining it's too cold.
00:11:18And where is seven?
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?
00:11:46Now 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.
00:12:17Thanks to you.
00:12:18I didn't do much.
00:12:20You did everything.
00:12:25If 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.
00:12:43Ten years building that place.
00:12:46Now I've lost everything.
00:12:48You didn't lose everything.
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 great.
00:13:02I just wanted to help.
00:13:08Well, if you want to keep on helping, I do need a replacement.
00:13:17Are you offering me a job?
00:13:20I am.
00:13:22I know we're not fine dining, but we make people happy.
00:13:30So, what do you say, Davenport?
00:13:51Julian, what the fuck is this?
00:13:53What are you talking about?
00:13:54It's a fresh start for us.
00:13:56I said, no, no, no, no, no.
00:13:57I appreciate the gesture, but we're not getting a new name.
00:14:01The Davenport is already established.
00:14:03Okay, we are on Charles DuPont's radar.
00:14:05We're not going backwards.
00:14:07Now, the real question is, where do we find a world-renowned chef like Troy?
00:14:10Chefs are a diamond dozen.
00:14:12Let me worry about that.
00:14:14Ungrateful bitch.
00:14:15What the fuck is Troy doing?
00:14:20Looks like we aren't the only ones having an affair.
00:14:27Hey, they're not worth your energy.
00:14:32You're right.
00:14:33But you are.
00:14:35Okay, come on.
00:14:38Well, if Troy thinks he can set up shop across from us, then he's got another fucking thing
00:14:42coming.
00:14:43Listen, we will destroy them.
00:14:46Get it?
00:14:55I was thinking beet salad with citrus vinaigrette.
00:14:59Beets?
00:14:59For dinner service?
00:15:01They're heavy.
00:15:02They stain.
00:15:03They die on a plate.
00:15:04They do so much as blink.
00:15:06Okay, Mr. Michelin.
00:15:08Almost.
00:15:09People love beets.
00:15:11People love cheesecake, too.
00:15:12It doesn't mean you need to put it underneath all of your entrees.
00:15:16You 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
00:15:30in what?
00:15:30We'd known each other, like, ten seconds.
00:15:33Lecture?
00:15:34Really?
00:15:34Manny almost burned your kitchen down.
00:15:36I'm just saying dial it back.
00:15:38And I'm just saying you should be saying thank you.
00:15:44Now I remember you.
00:15:47You were always so standoffish.
00:15:50Standoffish?
00:15:51Hmm?
00:15:52Hey, you.
00:15:55Hey.
00:15:56You're that chef that had the, uh, meltdown, right?
00:15:59What about it?
00:16:01Is this the girl you cheated on Elena with?
00:16:07She is a total downgrade.
00:16:17She is a total downgrade.
00:16:33Are you okay?
00:16:37Come on.
00:16:51Oh, hi.
00:16:55Oh, hi.
00:16:56You better be careful now.
00:16:58But the way you're making me move, you're feeling it, too.
00:17:02You better be careful now.
00:17:05Didn't think that it would be true.
00:17:14Thank you, but what about you?
00:17:17I'm fine.
00:17:43Shit, we should get back.
00:17:46You're not getting this, Beats.
00:17:59Here you go.
00:18:01Beats salad.
00:18:03Really.
00:18:04See, I'm not the only one.
00:18:07Just saying.
00:18:09Wait, I didn't know we were picking sides.
00:18:11Who's riding the chucks around here?
00:18:13I do.
00:18:14I pick hers.
00:18:15That's what I thought.
00:18:17I like Beats.
00:18:19They're earthy.
00:18:20Earthy means it tastes like dirt.
00:18:23Yeah, but dirt with personality.
00:18:25Exactly.
00:18:27God help us.
00:18:47This isn't food.
00:18:48It's dirt.
00:18:50Oh.
00:18:51I'm wet.
00:18:56Get out of my restaurant.
00:18:59Now.
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?
00:19:18Oh, hey, so, um, go buy yourself a new apron.
00:19:23You look like a maid.
00:19:26Get out of my restaurant.
00:19:28Now.
00:19:28Pick up your money and leave before I make you leave.
00:19:31Troy, we need to talk.
00:19:33Anything you need to say to Troy, you can say right here.
00:19:43How long have you and Troy been fucking?
00:19:46Excuse me?
00:19:48Let me get something straight.
00:19:50You walk into my restaurant after fucking his business partner and you're going to accuse us?
00:19:56That's insane.
00:19:57Get out of my fucking restaurant before I press assault charges.
00:20:02Yeah, good 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
00:20:15have any business left.
00:20:17Are you threatening me?
00:20:18Bitch, are you deaf?
00:20:19Get out.
00:20:21Now.
00:20:22I 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.
00:20:38She's not you.
00:20:39You have horrible taste in women.
00:20:41You have no idea.
00:20:49Julian!
00:20:51Julian!
00:20:52Okay, Troy and the dumb fucking bitch, okay, they're not going anywhere.
00:20:57They just threatened us.
00:20:58Us!
00:20:59You need to figure something out now.
00:21:01Threaten us?
00:21:03You should have left him a long time ago.
00:21:05I'll bury both those assholes.
00:21:07You need to find a replacement now!
00:21:09Oh, I'm way ahead of you.
00:21:11Come with me.
00:21:18So, 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.
00:21:35Troy was the past.
00:21:36This is the future of the Davenport.
00:21:39Plus, he used to work for Karen and knows all of her weaknesses.
00:21:43We got a system.
00:21:44We wouldn't be trying to forgot 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,
00:21:59and I'll make everyone forget Troy ever existed.
00:22:02That's the attitude we want.
00:22:04What do you say?
00:22:14Troy was the past.
00:22:16This is the future of the Davenport.
00:22:18What do you say?
00:22:25Fine.
00:22:26Deal.
00:22:27But I am watching you, okay?
00:22:30One wrong move, and you're out.
00:22:33Good luck.
00:22:39Just bitch.
00:22:40I love it.
00:22:54What happened?
00:23:00Julian hired Hector?
00:23:03They gotta be desperate if they hired that asshole.
00:23:05Man, that guy's got some serious S.P.
00:23:09Small P.P. energy.
00:23:10That guy took over half my knife for all, and that shit was expensive.
00:23:13Real 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.
00:23:24What are we gonna do?
00:23:27We...
00:23:28are gonna go to war.
00:23:48table 12's up.
00:23:49Let's move.
00:23:55You could have asked.
00:23:59Need salt.
00:24:04Try it.
00:24:06When you look at me like that, it's got me all hot.
00:24:13a dash of fire and sex, boiling over in the pot.
00:24:21I can't deny this burning passion between us, but you gotta cool your fire and let me cook.
00:24:31Tipped.
00:24:33Okay, we talked about this, and I want you taking over my kitchen.
00:24:37I'm taking this seriously.
00:24:41There'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%.
00:25:00Both.
00:25:04Grin, wait.
00:25:05You hear me look like a fool in front of my kitchen staff.
00:25:08That's not what happened.
00:25:10You were critiquing my food, saying it wasn't ready.
00:25:13I said the dish wasn't ready.
00:25:15I was just trying to help you.
00:25:16I don't want your help.
00:25:18Come on.
00:25:19I'll leave.
00:25:21No.
00:25:21You having a little lover's quarrel?
00:25:33Go ahead, Troy.
00:25:35Beat me up in front of your new girlfriend.
00:25:37She's not my fucking girlfriend.
00:25:43I hope I'm not interrupting.
00:25:46Mr. Depart.
00:25:53She's not my fucking girlfriend.
00:25:57I hope I'm not interrupting.
00:26:00Mr. Depart.
00:26:02Troy Davenport.
00:26:03Yeah, I've been hearing quite a lot about you lately.
00:26:06Rumor has it you've taken up residence across the street.
00:26:09The rumors are true, Mr. Depart.
00:26:11Troy now works across the street at Corinne's Corner.
00:26:16Then who is your head chef?
00:26:18Hector Ramirez, the chef I couldn't wait to fire.
00:26:23Oh, I've never heard of him.
00:26:25There's a reason for that.
00:26:27How's that going, by the way?
00:26:29Great.
00:26:30Hector is five times the chef that Troy ever was.
00:26:34Well, it seems we have quite the rivalry brewing in this little neighborhood.
00:26:39I've been speaking with producers, and we've spent the past few weeks
00:26:44scouting the city's most talked-about kitchens.
00:26:46And everywhere I go, I keep hearing about this feud
00:26:50between 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,
00:27:05televised nationwide.
00:27:07And 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.
00:27:19So, what happens when we win?
00:27:20If you win.
00:27:22The winner gets national recognition on the show
00:27:25and a recommendation from me for a Michelin star.
00:27:29What's the competition?
00:27:31Both restaurants will present one signature dish.
00:27:35And the community dish, something meaningful that's rooted in who you are.
00:27:44May 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?
00:28:03I hope not.
00:28:04No.
00:28:05We make what we know.
00:28:07And for this competition, only Troy and I will be competing against Hector.
00:28:12Well, luckily for us, we have the Davenport secret weapon.
00:28:17Get ready for a Michelin boot camp.
00:28:20Critics like Charles DuPont want mastery, not novelty.
00:28:23They don't want to just taste something.
00:28:25They want an experience that tells a story.
00:28:30A dish that says who we are.
00:28:32Exactly.
00:28:34I've got some ideas.
00:28:35Maybe we can listen to my ideas for once.
00:28:39Well, that's enough for me for one day.
00:28:42I'm off the clock.
00:28:44Good night.
00:28:46You two, behave.
00:28:48I'm leaving before this turns into a cage match.
00:28:55I'm all ears.
00:29:18You scared the shit out of me.
00:29:21What's going on?
00:29:22You're leaving so soon?
00:29:24I 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.
00:29:31I've been putting in the work.
00:29:32Harsh?
00:29:33Harsh is when you almost ruin our reputation in front of Charles DuPont.
00:29:37Are you really going to do that to us?
00:29:39You're on thin ice, hermano.
00:29:42So, here's how this is going to work from now on.
00:29:44No more skipping out early.
00:29:46No more laziness.
00:29:47From now on, you follow our rules.
00:29:49Capisce?
00:29:50Yeah, what?
00:29:51Do you understand?
00:29:53Okay, okay, I hear you.
00:29:55Do you?
00:29:56Because right now you look like someone who needs to go home and think very carefully.
00:30:01You'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.
00:30:15Okay, get back to work, guys.
00:30:27We need a menu with heart.
00:30:29Heart is good, but this is still a competition.
00:30:32We need a winning dish.
00:30:33It needs to represent both of us.
00:30:36It needs to mean something.
00:30:37It will.
00:30:39Let's try both dishes.
00:30:41Fine.
00:30:41Let's get the ingredients.
00:30:59Tell me you did not just let the door slam.
00:31:01What?
00:31:02What?
00:31:08Why's the door locked?
00:31:09The door locks automatically.
00:31:20The door locks automatically.
00:31:23Clay, this is really bad.
00:31:25How was I supposed to know?
00:31:27I would have fixed it if you would have told me already.
00:31:29I believe it was one of the first things that I told you.
00:31:36Yep, no service.
00:31:38Great.
00:31:38We're going to be stuck here until tomorrow.
00:31:40Just take a deep breath.
00:31:42Take a deep breath?
00:31:43I can't be calm right now, okay?
00:31:45It's freezing in here, and 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.
00:31:53They're just not us.
00:31:57Yet.
00:31:58Us?
00:32:00It has to be something that we build together.
00:32:12Here, you're freezing.
00:32:14I'm fine.
00:32:17I know I push you.
00:32:20Constantly.
00:32:24But you stood up for me in front of DuPont, and you didn't have to do that.
00:32:32I want to...
00:32:40I'm not a saint Korean.
00:32:42I'm not a mantic.
00:32:43I don't see pretty things.
00:32:45I'm used to being in charge of everything.
00:32:48The 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
00:32:57is to...
00:33:06Sorry, I just needed to shut you up.
00:33:07But you never know.
00:33:09I love you.
00:33:12I love you.
00:33:18What?
00:33:24I love you.
00:33:31Ah!
00:33:31Ah!
00:33:32Ah!
00:33:33Ah!
00:33:34Ah!
00:33:34Ah!
00:33:36Ah!
00:33:39There you are.
00:33:40Hey, are you guys still here?
00:33:43You left the front door wide open.
00:33:59I'm not even going to ask.
00:34:01We 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.
00:34:16Okay, 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.
00:34:35Do you 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.
00:34:43I stayed up late thinking of new ideas that I think you'll love.
00:34:46Show us what you got, Hector.
00:34:48Dish number one, spring tilapia.
00:34:57This is really good.
00:35:01It reminds me of the one that Troy used to make.
00:35:03But better.
00:35:04It's actually excellent.
00:35:09Got anything else?
00:35:13Dish number two and my personal favorite.
00:35:15Pasta carbonara.
00:35:24Oh my god.
00:35:27Finally!
00:35:28Hector, what the hell did you do?
00:35:38Troy's notebook.
00:35:39See?
00:35:40I'm not as dumb as I look.
00:35:42Apparently not.
00:35:44You know, if you keep this up, we might actually have a shot at winning.
00:36:08I know I left it here.
00:36:35I think this is why we weren't friends in culinary school.
00:36:39You were in St. Culinary school?
00:36:44Hey!
00:36:45You know, I was just thinking about last night.
00:36:47Hey!
00:36:48Hey!
00:36:48What's wrong?
00:36:50You didn't just pick this location.
00:36:55Troy.
00:36:55You positioned it.
00:36:57I can't explain.
00:37:01Okay.
00:37:03It was a strategic problem.
00:37:05I'm a chef.
00:37:05You're studying me.
00:37:08Did Julian put you up to this?
00:37:10Don't get it twisted, okay?
00:37:12I never planned on us.
00:37:14That's the problem.
00:37:14I trusted you!
00:37:16I thought last night meant something.
00:37:19It did.
00:37:20It does, please.
00:37:21Then why does it feel like you've been sharpening a knife behind my parents?
00:37:24Troy!
00:37:27Troy!
00:37:37Wait!
00:37:38Wait!
00:37:40Troy!
00:37:48Uh oh!
00:37:50Looks like there's trouble in paradise.
00:37:52Now's our time to strike.
00:37:53What's the move?
00:37:54Need to make a call.
00:37:58Hey, it's me.
00:37:58I'd like to report a restaurant and numerous health code violations.
00:38:04Yeah.
00:38:05Corinne's corner on Main Street.
00:38:07Shut it down.
00:38:08Make it clean.
00:38:09You got less than an hour.
00:38:11Hurry.
00:38:13Who was that?
00:38:15A 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.
00:38:39You scared me.
00:38:41I wasn't going anywhere.
00:38:43I just needed some space.
00:38:45Please, Troy, just let me explain.
00:38:49I'm listening.
00:38:52Look, I know beat Troy to have importance 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, you could turn an ordinary dish into something unforgettable.
00:39:10I watched you cook and I thought you were a master.
00:39:15So yeah, I wrote beat Troy Davenport.
00:39:18Not because I wanted to destroy you.
00:39:22I needed something to chase.
00:39:26You're the reason I opened up my restaurant.
00:39:28And took out alone, 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.
00:39:43That we will stop trying to be who everyone wants us to be.
00:39:46And we'll just be ourselves.
00:39:48Together.
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.
00:40:25Table 9 wants their steak well done.
00:40:27Table 7 wants bread we don't have.
00:40:29And Table 13 is threatening to write us a bad review.
00:40:31Where the hell are they?
00:40:34Hi, I'm so sorry.
00:40:35I'm so sorry. Thank you so much for your patience.
00:40:37Hi, I know. I thank you.
00:40:38Your drinks will be right out shortly.
00:40:39Hi, ladies. Thank you so much for your patience.
00:40:41I know, I know.
00:40:42I'll see you in just a moment. I'm so sorry.
00:40:44Uh, take 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?
00:41:08What?
00:41:09Oh, oh, roaches. That's no good.
00:41:11See, my name is John Cooper.
00:41:14I'm the healthy specter.
00:41:17Yeah, work for Health and Sanitation there, people.
00:41:20And I'm seeing a lot of improper activity.
00:41:22I'm seeing rat feces, roach activity.
00:41:25This is no good.
00:41:27Whoa, that's impossible.
00:41:28I literally just cleaned that.
00:41:30Hey, that's enough out of you two's, okay?
00:41:32Any one of them violations warrants an immediate shutdown.
00:41:35No, no, no, no. Please, sir, don't do this.
00:41:37We don't have roaches.
00:41:38Uh-huh.
00:41:39That's what the last three restaurants said also.
00:41:40Oh, God.
00:41:42Mmm, sorry, toots.
00:41:43Unfortunately, it looks like you guys are temporarily closed.
00:41:47Eh?
00:41:48What?
00:41:48Sorry.
00:41:49Oh, my God.
00:41:51Have a good day.
00:41:53Yes.
00:41:54I don't know what just happened.
00:42:10Oh, thank God.
00:42:12Please tell me that this is a dream and that you've brought coffee.
00:42:15What happened?
00:42:17What happened?
00:42:17We got hit hard.
00:42:19That big-headed, goofy-ass inspector came while y'all were gone.
00:42:23We got roaches and rat poop poop.
00:42:25Things I know went there two hours earlier.
00:42:27We had to send every table home.
00:42:30Our customers were posting videos.
00:42:32Somebody already tagged us as Ratatouille.
00:42:35But the horror reboot.
00:42:36We didn't do any of this.
00:42:39Yeah, we know.
00:42:41That goofy-ass inspector...
00:42:44Ratfishes.
00:42:45Clothes us down.
00:42:46We had all of our customers leave.
00:42:48Yeah, it's costing us $1,800 in sales, too, because we hit the comp everybody.
00:42:52Not to mention the fines.
00:42:54This wasn't an accident.
00:42:55This was Julian.
00:42:56He waited till we let our guard down.
00:42:58This is my fault.
00:43:00Hey.
00:43:00Hey, Troy.
00:43:01Don't do anything stupid.
00:43:03Troy.
00:43:03Troy.
00:43:04What are we doing?
00:43:16Taking you on your first date.
00:43:18Date?
00:43:18Right now?
00:43:19Yeah.
00:43:19Sir, um, do you have a reservation?
00:43:22Yeah, 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 doing here?
00:43:34Trying to cause a scene, probably.
00:43:37No, thank you.
00:43:39We'll have the whole menu.
00:43:40Two of everything.
00:43:42Two of everything.
00:43:44You heard right?
00:43:47Are you sure we should be doing this?
00:43:49Relax.
00:43:50We can 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.
00:44:08Chef Ramirez, we need two of everything for table 12.
00:44:12Seriously?
00:44:13How big is the party?
00:44:15Two.
00:44:15Three.
00:44:16Oh, hell no.
00:44:17That's too much food.
00:44:18I'll talk to them.
00:44:20Chefs, hold down the kitchen.
00:44:21Yes, Chef.
00:44:22Yes, Chef.
00:44:32What are you two doing here?
00:44:34Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:44:36What's the matter?
00:44:37You think you can just come here and boss me around?
00:44:40We ordered our two.
00:44:42Who orders two of everything?
00:44:44We did.
00:44:46Is 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
00:44:56tonight.
00:44:57Well, this is an absolutely lovely table.
00:45:01They're fucking with us.
00:45:03Play along.
00:45:05I 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.
00:45:20While you're at it, do you mind getting me a glass of wine?
00:45:22We will have a bottle of Opus.
00:45:23Mmm.
00:45:24It's a $1,200 bottle.
00:45:26Great.
00:45:27We'll have two.
00:45:48This is my signature rare steak.
00:45:52Cooked medium well.
00:45:54Bold interpretation.
00:45:56Take it back before it starts to cry.
00:45:58Check mine too.
00:46:05Ooh.
00:46:06My signature recipe.
00:46:08Somehow more glutinous and disgusting than I thought possible.
00:46:13Remarkable.
00:46:14Can you please take it back?
00:46:23That is my Branzino technique.
00:46:26Cooked by someone who obviously hates fish.
00:46:29We're good.
00:46:33Chef, tables 3, 9, and 16 are not happy with the wait.
00:46:35We'll send them a free fucking dessert.
00:46:38And we're trying our best here.
00:46:40Fuck!
00:46:41Fucking fuck!
00:46:42I'm out of here.
00:46:44Chef, hurry the fuck up!
00:46:47Ben, Ben!
00:46:49Enough is enough!
00:46:52Enough is enough.
00:46:53It looks like the triggers are having fun.
00:46:58More 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?
00:47:11Hmm.
00:47:12They said no.
00:47:17You really think you're winning here?
00:47:19If this were a game, we would have already won.
00:47:22We'll go easy on you.
00:47:25Opus tends to soften and blow.
00:47:28You are...
00:47:28You are not welcome, you...
00:47:34You know, I'd be careful about pushing us out.
00:47:37Especially after a little stunt that you and Julian pulled earlier.
00:47:44I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:47:46I didn't do anything.
00:47:48You're a terrible actor.
00:47:50And a worse criminal.
00:47:51It makes you guys a good match.
00:47:54The health inspector coming to the door.
00:47:57The spoiled food.
00:47:58The roaches.
00:48:00It's all on camera.
00:48:03You're bluffing.
00:48:04Maybe.
00:48:05Maybe not.
00:48:08Ask yourself, can you afford for me to not be telling the truth right now?
00:48:12I mean, with the competition days away.
00:48:22Exactly.
00:48:25Well, 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.
00:48:40And make sure to tip your weight staff.
00:48:42They're severely underpaid.
00:48:55Okay.
00:48:56We need to figure out our signature dish.
00:48:58For the competition.
00:49:00Troy?
00:49:01You're the Michelin guy?
00:49:03You lead the way.
00:49:04No.
00:49:05This is your kitchen.
00:49:08Your name's on the door.
00:49:09The dish has to come from you.
00:49:12Authenticity's the only way we win this.
00:49:16But people expect-
00:49:18Sure, they expect me.
00:49:20That's why we're not doing my dish.
00:49:24Chef.
00:49:27You got this.
00:49:33Okay.
00:49:40Then we're going to do the burger.
00:49:43That'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.
00:49:56Let's make it perfect.
00:50:16I can't do this.
00:50:27Oh, Jesus.
00:50:28This is awful.
00:50:29Oh, God.
00:50:30Please tell me you're not cooking this shit for the competition.
00:50:34Hector, get your shit together.
00:50:35This is fucking embarrassing.
00:50:37Stick 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.
00:50:58Okay, now, what are you doing?
00:51:00My abuela used to make this every Sunday.
00:51:04Pozole.
00:51:08Fed eight of us on $10.
00:51:10Food that meant something.
00:51:13Nobody gives a fuck about your abuela.
00:51:16We need a dish that represents the Davenport.
00:51:21Maybe that's why your food here has no soul.
00:51:23Excuse me?
00:51:26You want a winning dish?
00:51:29Here it is.
00:51:30The first thing I cook here that actually feels like me.
00:51:41This better not suck or you're finished.
00:51:43You hear me?
00:52:10Ladies and gentlemen.
00:52:13I'm your host, Sebastian Valle.
00:52:19Welcome to A Dash of Fire.
00:52:25Where culinary mastery is put to the test in front of three judges and only one restaurant will win.
00:52:34Representing the Davenport, Knoxville's most talked about fine dining room,
00:52:38we 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.
00:53:05Now, both of these teams will present two dishes tonight.
00:53:09One signature dish that will define their kitchen.
00:53:14And 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.
00:53:42Breathe.
00:53:43You got this.
00:53:44Guns a thousand times.
00:53:45Guns a thousand times.
00:53:46Don't let me mess this up.
00:53:48Whoa.
00:53:49I got your back.
00:53:53Everyone?
00:53:59You're shaking.
00:54:00Stop shaking.
00:54:02Hector! Darling!
00:54:04If you blow this, you blow it for everyone!
00:54:08Jesus.
00:54:09Put some conviction in it.
00:54:24There she is.
00:54:25This is it?
00:54:28This is you.
00:54:36It's fine.
00:54:38Fine is failure.
00:54:42That is the end of round one.
00:54:45Now 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.
00:55:20And the salmon.
00:55:23I mean, it's tasty.
00:55:25It was cooked well.
00:55:26I just feel it's missing personality.
00:55:30Oh!
00:55:33Yeah, 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.
00:56:04It's not over yet.
00:56:06Round 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.
00:56:18We didn't have much growing up, but there was always food on the table.
00:56:22This is my mother's lentil soup.
00:56:33Chefs, begin.
00:56:39You can't serve this.
00:56:40It's bland, safe, dead.
00:56:43Julian's right.
00:56:44This bisque won't beat Corinne's stupid story.
00:56:47We need something emotional.
00:56:50So, what do you want?
00:56:52The basole.
00:56:53The thing you made last night.
00:56:54You want me to cook my food?
00:56:56Yes, Hector.
00:56:57Here's the only dish you've ever made with any kind of soul.
00:57:00It'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.
00:57:06Okay?
00:57:07Let's go.
00:57:11Make it like last night.
00:57:13But better, actually.
00:57:21This is our shot.
00:57:22We got this.
00:57:40We got this.
00:57:40We need to cook with our drum.
00:57:41And we're after them.
00:57:41We need to cook our drum out.
00:57:42We need to cook it.
00:57:44Get our drum out.
00:57:46We need to cook our drum.
00:57:46You can cook our drum.
00:57:48And we're doing my drum drum.
00:57:51That's the second name.
00:58:00That is the end of round two.
00:58:12Oh, my God.
00:58:13I'm going to pass that.
00:58:14I've been all in my business.
00:58:16We got out of here.
00:58:18Chefs, present your dishes.
00:58:21Chef 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.
00:58:37Comfort.
00:58:39Soul.
00:58:40Exactly what this round is all about.
00:58:51Chef Hector.
00:58:52I'm not looking safe tonight.
00:58:56This is my abueless recipe.
00:58:58Sunday mornings, eight kids, one pot.
00:59:01Always enough.
00:59:03It's my home on a plate.
00:59:06Okay.
00:59:07That was smooth.
00:59:08Real smooth.
00:59:11This is remarkable.
00:59:14I mean, dare I even say, unbelievable.
00:59:17Oh, no.
00:59:19Oh, no, no.
00:59:20There's a reason why we kept that guy around.
00:59:22There it is.
00:59:24Both dishes are extraordinary, but one edge is four 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.
00:59:59Now, as per the rules, the overall winner is the chef whose dishes most faithfully reflect their restaurant's identity and
01:00:11mission.
01:00:21You're a winner, by cumulative decision, is...
01:00:34Your winner, by cumulative decision, is...
01:00:49What?
01:00:50This is random.
01:00:52I beg your pardon.
01:00:55Don't be kidding.
01:00:56You're embarrassing yourself.
01:00:58You're a rat.
01:01:07Oh, no.
01:01:08Whoa.
01:01:08Whoa.
01:01:09Whoa.
01:01:09This is my town.
01:01:11You're nothing without me.
01:01:12Not anymore.
01:01:14This clown.
01:01:15Security, remove it.
01:01:16I found it.
01:01:17Get off me.
01:01:17Get off.
01:01:18This is my town.
01:01:36Yikes.
01:01:39Um...
01:01:39Listen.
01:01:41He 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.
01:02:04And I'm happy for you, too.
01:02:07Truly.
01:02:14That feels better than a victory.
01:02:17Take the words right out of my mouth.
01:02:26Chef Corinne, Chef Troy, I need to thank you.
01:02:32And I'm sorry for being part of all the shit Julian pulled.
01:02:38Tonight, I cooked who I really am.
01:02:41That 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.
01:03:04This 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.
01:03:22Damn, that food ran out of here like his ass is on fire.
01:03:26There's a problem with that abuela dish.
01:03:27It's just unpredictable.
01:03:29I don't think that's what happened, Bart.
01:03:30You never know.
01:03:32So, now what?
01:03:47Chef behind.
01:03:49Table 12's up.
01:03:50Let's move.
01:04:08Got a delivery for chef Corinne Miller.
01:04:18Oh my god.
01:04:20What is it?
01:04:24We did it.
01:04:35Sorry.
01:04:36I only kissed my girlfriend.
01:04:40So, do you want to be my girlfriend?
01:04:42Yes.
01:04:44I'll be your girlfriend.
01:04:46Now kiss me.
01:04:47Yes.
01:04:58Closer to the fire.
