Short filmTranscript
00:00:05Last but not least, drizzled chocolate.
00:00:27Chef Tony.
00:00:30You could probably just start that fall.
00:00:35Me?
00:00:36Pitbulls don't worry I plan on writing your restaurant a glowing review in
00:00:40the papers, top-notch Sunday's cover as promised.
00:00:46We have a problem!
00:00:52Not for you!
00:00:53That's Dash, from culinary school.
00:00:56No girl he couldn't charm except for sexless Nina.
00:01:01What do you think you're doing?
00:01:02That whore!
00:01:04She replaced me with Dash!
00:01:06Burn her reputation to the ground!
00:01:11I got you this job, eh?
00:01:13Food critic?
00:01:14Consider this a debt paid.
00:01:18It'd be my honor, boss.
00:01:19Consider it already done.
00:01:21I never thought that fool would try to topple Chef Tony's marks of this city.
00:01:25Of course.
00:01:26If you're not up to the task, then my boys here will do what I'd pay them to do if
00:01:35you catch my drift.
00:01:39Got it, Chef.
00:01:40Salute.
00:01:44Enjoy the best meal of your life.
00:01:51You are so hot when you're in sabotage mode.
00:01:54How are you going to take her down?
00:01:56Beat them at their own game.
00:01:58Oh, my God.
00:01:59Oh, my God.
00:02:06Well, that's it for our first night.
00:02:11Great.
00:02:12Time to clean up and go to our actual homes.
00:02:14Chef Nina, an anonymous food blogger posted about home and it's not good.
00:02:21And while the new restaurant seems to take itself seriously given the pricing, it's the clout of having a dash
00:02:26of temptation as their resident pastry chef that makes them cheap.
00:02:31God, see, this is exactly what I was worried about.
00:02:33A review by a faceless person on the internet?
00:02:36Oh, come on.
00:02:37They barely have any followers.
00:02:39It'll go nowhere.
00:02:40Well, how are you so sure that others don't feel the same about...
00:02:44Well, how are you so sure that others don't feel the same about...
00:02:44Me?
00:02:47And here I thought we were getting along so well.
00:02:49Well, what do I do to squash it?
00:02:52Why don't we invite this low-life person in for a dinner?
00:02:56Uh, we're booked up for the next six months.
00:03:01Yeah.
00:03:05Hey, listen.
00:03:06I know how the internet works.
00:03:09Just give it a dare to you and you'll blow over.
00:03:13Soon, real reviews from real customers will overshadow this as they shout from the mountaintop how good home is.
00:03:28I do want to believe you.
00:03:30Simply do so.
00:03:36Nina?
00:03:37Just head home.
00:03:39I'll close up the rest.
00:03:52God, I can really use your advice right now, Papa.
00:03:56God, I can really use your advice right now, Papa.
00:04:00My darling princess, what's wrong?
00:04:03I burnt the meal.
00:04:05That's okay.
00:04:06You gotta understand, greatness takes time.
00:04:09It's kind of like waiting for dota rice.
00:04:12You keep experimenting, Nina.
00:04:14You're gonna be a great chef one day.
00:04:18See?
00:04:19Doesn't that make you feel better?
00:04:32Did you get home okay?
00:04:36This is home.
00:04:38Where I've only ever belonged.
00:04:44Thanks again for giving me a chance.
00:04:48Yeah, whatever.
00:04:50Am I being too hard on him?
00:04:52He did technically help book out my restaurant for six months.
00:04:58Figured you'd like to see all the reviews tonight from real customers.
00:05:03Such a great experience tonight in the comfort of me.
00:05:05Exquisite execution.
00:05:06I'll be back soon if I can get a reservation.
00:05:11A peace offering.
00:05:14A peace offering.
00:05:17A peace offering.
00:05:24Oh my God.
00:05:27Oh my God, he's delicious.
00:05:37I mean the dessert.
00:05:40Oh my God, oh no.
00:05:44I'm in deep.
00:05:50Babe, where are you going so early?
00:05:53Time for a little manipulation tactic for a little special mission.
00:05:57You're a little devil, aren't you?
00:05:59I know how to warm her up just to leave her in the cold.
00:06:17Perfect timing.
00:06:19This is all the crap you stashed in my drawers and littered my living room with.
00:06:25Where's my stuff?
00:06:26Let's focus on apologies rather than your overreaction to a silly little mishap.
00:06:31You are such an asshole.
00:06:33Oh wait, I know what's going on.
00:06:35You're in a mood because of that terrible review by some online food influencer.
00:06:38That must have really stung.
00:06:40Ouch.
00:06:40That little thing?
00:06:42We're going to get notable reviews from actual professionals.
00:06:44Just you wait.
00:06:48You'll never make it without me or my connections as a food critic.
00:06:52Yeah?
00:06:52And you'll never survive on Christy's overly sweet desserts.
00:06:56Time to up the insulin.
00:07:02Shit, what if he's right?
00:07:05I mean, Axel's the best food critic in town and without him on my side,
00:07:09how am I going to get notable reviews?
00:07:15Oh, hi.
00:07:16Hey boss, how's it hanging?
00:07:19Uh, great, great.
00:07:20Just cleaning up.
00:07:21Fun.
00:07:22Is it okay if I pick up a few things for tonight's desserts?
00:07:26All the items there are what your previous chef had ordered.
00:07:28Yeah, yeah, go for it.
00:07:29All right.
00:07:30See you tonight then.
00:07:31Excited to see what you whip up.
00:07:38Oh, why did I say that?
00:07:41Gross.
00:07:50Oh, boy.
00:07:52Yeah, that's...
00:07:54That's what I need right now.
00:07:57God.
00:07:58Want some coffee?
00:08:00Sure.
00:08:01Cream, sugar.
00:08:02No sugar.
00:08:04Jeez, okay.
00:08:05Calm down.
00:08:07Tony's new menu shows the kind of sophistication that many of his rivals would sell their soul to copy.
00:08:18I need to hit harder!
00:08:24Welcome to your new home.
00:08:26Hi, yes, I'd like to place a reservation for tonight.
00:08:29Hi, yes, I'd like to place a reservation for tonight.
00:08:31I'm sorry, sir, but we are booked up six months today, ma'am.
00:08:34What?
00:08:35Would you like to...
00:08:36No!
00:08:39I still have to give your things back, don't I, Nina?
00:08:49Send no sugar!
00:09:04Got what you needed?
00:09:06Yes, chef.
00:09:07It's going to be delicious.
00:09:10Okay, everyone, let's get ready for a busy night.
00:09:14Hmm?
00:09:15Woof!
00:09:16Woof!
00:09:17Woof!
00:09:17Woof!
00:09:19Woof!
00:09:20Woof!
00:09:23Woof!
00:09:23Here's one plastic dessert.
00:09:33Flamboyant, untalented, daddy's little rich boy.
00:09:39Time to drop off your stuff, Nina.
00:09:50I hope you can swim, Nina.
00:09:55Cuddle this, bitch.
00:10:06Sir, no running.
00:10:09Hey, watch it, babe.
00:10:12I need to get home and start baking.
00:10:15Yeah, hi. I'd like to report a citation.
00:10:31How's the uni pasta with caviar looking?
00:10:41Oh, my God. The entire dining room is flooded.
00:10:50I got called for a health code citation.
00:10:56This restaurant is shut down.
00:10:58Inspection immediately.
00:11:00Are you the owner?
00:11:01I am.
00:11:02I have to give you a failing grade.
00:11:04What? No, a failing grade. Look, I have never...
00:11:06Hang on. Inspector?
00:11:11Theo.
00:11:12Theo.
00:11:13I like that name.
00:11:14I like you.
00:11:17I mean, I watched your videos and all.
00:11:21Can you give us a few hours to figure out what happened before you gave our chef her first failing
00:11:26grade?
00:11:27It meant a lot to me.
00:11:28For you, anything.
00:11:32I'll get you some dessert. On the house, of course. As a thank you.
00:11:36Oh, I can't take bribes.
00:11:39It's not a bribe.
00:11:40A bribe would be me feeding you the dessert myself.
00:11:45I could take good bribes. I could take all the bribes.
00:11:48I'll be right back with a to-go-bad. Thank you for understanding.
00:11:57Chef Tony, it's been handled.
00:12:00They'll be shut down.
00:12:02Well done, Axel.
00:12:04You're proving to be invaluable to me.
00:12:07What can I say? It's the least I can do.
00:12:09Hey, tell me, what is a food critic job paying these days?
00:12:14I get by.
00:12:16How'd you like to make a little extra?
00:12:18Come work for my restaurant's management team.
00:12:23But wouldn't that, uh, conflict my current job?
00:12:27You worry too much.
00:12:29Let me handle that.
00:12:35What are you thinking?
00:12:37The flood didn't just happen on its own.
00:12:40The cameras might have caught the perpetrator.
00:12:43So you're thinking that someone did this on purpose?
00:12:46Where's the security feed?
00:12:49Oh, um.
00:12:53Who's this?
00:12:56God, that's my ex-fiance!
00:13:03This is my ex-fiance, Axel.
00:13:05He's the food critic for the paper,
00:13:07and apparently our saboteur.
00:13:10That is so unethical.
00:13:13Yeah.
00:13:14Who called in the citation?
00:13:16All I know is that it was a man.
00:13:18Recognize this number?
00:13:20Oh, that's Axel's number.
00:13:22God, that low-life scum!
00:13:24Okay, call me when you clean up this mess for a proper inspection.
00:13:27Until then,
00:13:30I'll give you a pending grade.
00:13:31Oh, thank you so much.
00:13:35And thank you for the sweet treat.
00:13:39There's more where that came from.
00:13:46What are you doing?
00:13:48Finishing what Axel started.
00:13:51Hello?
00:13:53Yes?
00:13:54Sad news?
00:13:55I'd like to discuss a matter concerning you, food critic, Axel Vitti.
00:13:59I'd like to discuss a matter concerning you, food critic, Axel Vitti.
00:14:08It's settled.
00:14:10The paper fired Axel.
00:14:12He's gone.
00:14:13We're safe.
00:14:15Oh, don't underestimate Axel.
00:14:18This might have started something worse.
00:14:21I got you.
00:14:23I promise.
00:14:24I promise.
00:14:27Too bad home will have to go into foreclosure
00:14:30after its humiliating health inspection.
00:14:39Hello, editor?
00:14:41Yes, I just got the juiciest...
00:14:45What?
00:14:46No, what?
00:14:47You can't fire me!
00:14:48What?
00:14:48No!
00:14:54I'll kill them!
00:14:56I'll kill them!
00:14:57I'll kill...
00:14:58Oh, fuck.
00:14:59Chef Tony's gonna kill me!
00:15:06Can I make you something that always cheers me up?
00:15:11I don't need your chocolate and charm.
00:15:13No.
00:15:13This is all the mania.
00:15:20Sure.
00:15:21I mean, I have to be here anyway until the cleaning crew shows up.
00:15:25Mind if I record?
00:15:27I'll do D&L.
00:15:29Yeah, how about it, partner?
00:15:37Chef Tony.
00:15:43Join me.
00:15:55There's something you should know about.
00:15:57Tell me my restaurant's gonna be on the front page this Sunday.
00:16:02About that.
00:16:03I may have gotten fired from the paper tonight
00:16:05because I was trying to shut down home.
00:16:10Are you fucking with me?
00:16:12No, Chef.
00:16:13But I wanted to see if, you know,
00:16:15the offer still stood to become a part of your,
00:16:17you know, team's restaurant management.
00:16:24I just, you know, the money would really help me right now.
00:16:27And I could have really used that prestigious review
00:16:30and for home to be squashed
00:16:33like you promised.
00:16:35Yeah.
00:16:37I'll make it up to you, Chef.
00:16:39I'll make it up to you.
00:16:42Portatelo via.
00:16:44If you want a job,
00:16:45then my boys here will put you to work.
00:16:50Ciao.
00:16:56Why did you name the restaurant home?
00:16:58Because I grew up in my father's pizzeria.
00:17:01That's where I learned to cook in his kitchen.
00:17:03And so for me, that restaurant was home.
00:17:08I'm envious of you.
00:17:10Says the guy who comes from culinary royalty.
00:17:14Well, unlike you, I wasn't allowed in my father's kitchen.
00:17:19What?
00:17:19Why?
00:17:21Why?
00:17:21My father never thought I had potential.
00:17:28But he also never gave me a chance to prove him wrong.
00:17:32I haven't made this dessert for anyone else before.
00:17:38It's my, uh, well, never mind.
00:17:43Bon appétit.
00:17:45Wait.
00:17:47Wait.
00:17:48Join me.
00:17:54You've had a hard night, and it's all yours.
00:17:58So, what's the story behind it?
00:18:01It's the dessert my mother used to make me when I cried.
00:18:05She said it was like a hug on a plate.
00:18:09Well, does she still make it for you?
00:18:10No, um, she died before my 13th birthday.
00:18:16And afterwards, my father resented having to babysit me while at the restaurant.
00:18:24I'm sorry.
00:18:26It's okay.
00:18:27Because of that, I've learned other skills.
00:18:32Skills that earn me a fan base.
00:18:34Your videos are really good.
00:18:36So, you do subscribe to my profile?
00:18:39No.
00:18:40I mean, I...
00:18:41You ghost watch?
00:18:45Oh, guilty.
00:18:48God, I'm so embarrassed.
00:18:51I...
00:18:51Give me your phone.
00:18:54Oh, my God.
00:19:01Now, we both follow each other.
00:19:09Come taste it for yourself.
00:19:14Let me make you feel better.
00:19:30Oh, my...
00:19:30Is it all right?
00:19:32It's been such a long time since I made it, and...
00:19:34That is the best dessert I've ever had in my life.
00:19:38Yeah, I'm sweating here.
00:19:40I need this on my menu.
00:19:42Sure, yeah.
00:19:43Go for it.
00:19:44Well, what should it be called?
00:19:49Childhood.
00:19:51Childhood.
00:19:53That's everything home is about.
00:19:57What, having doubts?
00:19:59No.
00:20:01It's just, uh...
00:20:03I've never felt so seen before.
00:20:13Need a bridge, Kelly?
00:20:16Uh, yeah, that's me.
00:20:17Can you show us where the water's coming from?
00:20:20Absolutely.
00:20:20Follow me.
00:20:21Uh, I will be right back.
00:20:22I got some videos to edit, so...
00:20:25I'll be gone in a bit.
00:20:26Oh, uh, yeah, of course.
00:20:29I'll leave this for you.
00:20:30I'm finished.
00:20:32Uh, Dasha...
00:20:33Ahem.
00:20:34Ma'am.
00:20:35The damage?
00:20:37Uh, yes.
00:20:38Right away.
00:20:47Damn.
00:20:48That was in there deep.
00:20:49Got it.
00:20:50Fucking bastard!
00:21:00Uh, Inspector Theo's just about to call you.
00:21:03What?
00:21:04What do you mean home's going viral?
00:21:09I'm all grown up now, but you're never too old to enjoy your childhood.
00:21:13Come home.
00:21:14It's the only place that's really served.
00:21:19Holy fuck, I'm in love.
00:21:26Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:28He cannot see me like this.
00:21:40You passed.
00:21:42Excellent work.
00:21:44Thank you, Theo.
00:21:45Seriously.
00:21:46Okay, I know there's a six-month wait, but do you think...
00:21:50For you, always.
00:21:54Oh, I can't wait for seconds.
00:21:57Okay, then, I will see you both soon.
00:22:03You are dangerously good at that.
00:22:06At what?
00:22:08Making people fall for you.
00:22:13Um, maybe we should start prepping now that we can reopen.
00:22:18Prepping?
00:22:19Uh, yeah, yeah, that's, uh, that's great.
00:22:22Wait.
00:22:30This is boring.
00:22:31Is anyone hungry?
00:22:33I made strawberry cream-filled white chocolate donuts.
00:22:36What are you, trying to give us a heart attack, woman?
00:22:38At some point, you're going to have to eat what I make for you.
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:42Over my dead body.
00:22:44Okay, you two shut the fuck up before I kill you, Bull.
00:22:47Just knock it off.
00:22:49Wait, is that him?
00:22:54That's him, all right.
00:22:55All right, grab your tool.
00:22:57Let's go.
00:22:58Leave your bitch in the car.
00:23:05Ungrateful assholes.
00:23:07Buddy?
00:23:09Hey, buddy.
00:23:10What's up with the A?
00:23:12Oh, uh, they just passed their inspection.
00:23:14I mean, feel free to make a reservation, though.
00:23:15Yeah, our boss isn't going to like that.
00:23:17What do you think we should do?
00:23:19Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm just doing my job.
00:23:21Yeah, so are we.
00:23:22Mm-hmm.
00:23:23Maybe we can discuss this?
00:23:24Yeah, you can discuss it with Chef Tony later.
00:23:26Is the girl still in there?
00:23:28What?
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:29No, I mean, maybe we can help you remember.
00:23:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:23:38How about now?
00:23:43That's it.
00:23:43I will not have my food denied and possibly go to jail because of your antics.
00:23:47It's over between us.
00:23:49You're dead weight anyways, woman.
00:23:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:24:04So what is it then?
00:24:09She's inside.
00:24:15I have to go to the market to get a few things.
00:24:18Do you need anything?
00:24:19I'm all set.
00:24:20Thanks, boss.
00:24:23Hey, Nina.
00:24:25Yeah?
00:24:28I, um...
00:24:30See you when you get back.
00:24:32Yeah.
00:24:33Bye.
00:24:37Smooth, dude.
00:24:39Very smooth.
00:24:43Son, I'm in your city for business and I want to meet up.
00:24:46You couldn't have given me a heads up that you'd be in town?
00:24:49It's last minute.
00:24:50A big tuna auction was just announced.
00:24:52How much are you going to lay down this time, father?
00:24:55One million.
00:24:56Two?
00:24:56Depends on how many will fit on my private plane.
00:24:59Meet me at the market at 1 p.m.
00:25:01I have my station to prep.
00:25:03I doubt your little dessert job would cover your bills if that's all you had to live on.
00:25:07The market.
00:25:091 p.m.
00:25:15Morning, sweetie.
00:25:19Oh, my God!
00:25:21He's hurt badly!
00:25:23Hey, how did this happen?
00:25:29How about you come with us, sweetie?
00:25:31Or the health inspector who has to crawl back to the house.
00:25:34What do you think?
00:25:41Let's take a walk.
00:25:42My assistant showed me the video.
00:25:45Your mother's dessert?
00:25:47You dare to replicate it.
00:25:49I didn't replicate it.
00:25:50I honored it.
00:25:51Remembered it.
00:25:52You wouldn't know the difference.
00:25:54You turned it into content.
00:25:56Smeared her memory all over the internet.
00:25:58Then had the audacity to put it on the menu.
00:26:01No.
00:26:02Chef Nina put it on the menu.
00:26:04She's a fool.
00:26:05You're not talented enough to recreate it.
00:26:07You've never tried anything I've made.
00:26:10How would you know?
00:26:11I'm not foolish enough to let you ruin my taste buds.
00:26:15This conversation is done.
00:26:18Take it off the menu.
00:26:20Or I cut off your funding.
00:26:33Fuck you, Axel.
00:26:35If only you had.
00:26:37You tried ruining my restaurant.
00:26:39Don't worry.
00:26:39I'll succeed somehow.
00:26:42Who are these goons?
00:26:44My cleanup crew.
00:26:47Mossa.
00:26:49You've met Chef Tony, right?
00:26:53You've met Chef Tony, right?
00:26:56So this little thing's been making all that noise, huh?
00:27:01Your restaurant has been taking attention away from mine.
00:27:07Why would someone critically acclaimed as you be worried about my little restaurant?
00:27:11Oh, little.
00:27:13Little, listen to the Joker here.
00:27:15All right.
00:27:15That's funny.
00:27:16Does that look like little?
00:27:18Tell me about that.
00:27:21What do you want?
00:27:22I want you to shut down your restaurant.
00:27:26And before you go on about your business and such, I want you to understand something.
00:27:31I'm a stand-up guy.
00:27:32All right?
00:27:34I will pay you handsomely to shut your business down and just go back to making pizzas.
00:27:42Doesn't that sound nice?
00:27:43And what if I don't?
00:27:44Well, then Axel here will cut off your hand.
00:27:48Pretty hard to cook with only one hand, don't you think?
00:27:51Fuck you!
00:27:52That's not nice.
00:27:53Fuck you!
00:27:56That's Nina.
00:27:59No!
00:28:00No!
00:28:03Help!
00:28:04Help!
00:28:05Help!
00:28:13Tony!
00:28:16How you doing, old friend?
00:28:18Oh, no!
00:28:20It's all right.
00:28:20I don't meddle in this kind of business deals.
00:28:22Help her out, son.
00:28:25Leto, I haven't tried your restaurants yet, but I hear great things.
00:28:30Don't worry.
00:28:30I don't take your absence personally.
00:28:32It's quite refreshing, actually.
00:28:34It's been, what, 30 years since culinary school?
00:28:38Time flies when you're as successful as me.
00:28:41I see you're still fighting your way through the competition.
00:28:45I don't regret it.
00:28:47I don't expect you to, but to try to do the same to a woman, that's a new low, even
00:28:53for you.
00:28:54Hey, hey, Nina.
00:28:56Nina, wake up.
00:28:58Wake up.
00:28:58Come on.

00:34:12What?
00:34:16I think something's up.
00:34:18Yeah, someone is offering my employees a better paying gig.
00:34:22Did you get a text?
00:34:23Even if I did, I'd ignore it.
00:34:29Excuse me, I have a meal to serve.
00:34:37Oh, shit.
00:34:39Now I have to talk to customers.
00:34:49Oh, God.
00:34:52Enjoy.
00:34:54This is the worst service ever.
00:34:57Tell the chef I'm unimpressed.
00:35:00I am the chef.
00:35:02You never came to check on any of the tables.
00:35:05Isn't that what chefs are supposed to do?
00:35:08Parade around in schmooze?
00:35:12Wait, I'm so sorry you haven't missed your meal.
00:35:15It took an hour to get this worse.
00:35:17I lost my appetite.
00:35:18Okay.
00:35:20Oh, God.
00:35:30What are you doing?
00:35:32Making sure the customers don't see you crying.
00:35:36God, this is terrible.
00:35:38God, this is terrible.
00:35:38I mean, my restaurant's done.
00:35:41It's finished.
00:35:43It's over.
00:35:49It's over.
00:35:51One trim salad and toasted bread.
00:35:54Oh, my God.
00:35:55What are you doing?
00:35:56We are prepping the next meal.
00:35:59Come on.
00:36:01We got this.
00:36:02Just tell me what to do, chef.
00:36:14I like the tomatoes cut in half.
00:36:21As the sea is blue, all the words are true.
00:36:34Now, let's go serve the customers.
00:36:39After you, chef.
00:36:53Oh, no, the landlord.
00:36:59Bon appetit.
00:37:03Welcome.
00:37:04I wasn't expecting you.
00:37:06Just got the bill for the recent cleanup.
00:37:09You're adding that to your rent.
00:37:10You'll be able to afford it, right?
00:37:15Do I need to look for a new tenant?
00:37:21What an asshole.
00:37:26No one has gotten to dessert.
00:37:31Excuse me.
00:37:34This restaurant will definitely not be part of the best in city competition.
00:37:49I understand if you take the offer.
00:37:52It's not bad.
00:37:53Sit.
00:37:55All is gonna work now.
00:37:57We need a miracle to happen.
00:38:00Maybe one's coming.
00:38:12This is chef Nina.
00:38:14What?
00:38:19You submitted us to the competition?
00:38:24Did they mention the cash prize?
00:38:27No.
00:38:28They'll pay for the rent and the bill.
00:38:31Well, I mean, we have to do everything.
00:38:33We have to cook.
00:38:35We have to serve.
00:38:35And the two of us will be amazing at it.
00:38:39Well, I'm...
00:38:40The chef's cocktail meeting is tomorrow night, so then I have to cancel reservations.
00:38:44Just tell me what needs to be done and I'll help you do it.
00:38:49You really think we have a chance at winning it?
00:38:51Nina.
00:38:53You're an amazing chef who's a threat to all the other restaurants in this city.
00:38:58You're getting sabotaged left and right.
00:39:01You know deep down why.
00:39:09Hey there, Axel.
00:39:10Tony asked us to deliver this message in person.
00:39:13What's going on?
00:39:14I handled her employees.
00:39:15She's toast!
00:39:18She entered the competition?!
00:39:24Pretty empty at this hour.
00:39:26Wanna take back your stance on the dessert?
00:39:28Just say the word and the money will go back into your account.
00:39:32Everything's gonna work out.
00:39:35Take a look around, son.
00:39:37You can't live off of this failure.
00:39:39I have a lot to prove.
00:39:41And I know Nina is the one to help me see it through.
00:39:47When do you leave?
00:39:48I got a short gig, so I'm sticking around for a couple extra days.
00:39:53Good luck.
00:40:00Charming, isn't it?
00:40:05We're gonna win this competition come hell or high water.
00:40:10Um, I am so sorry, I-
00:40:14Don't apologize.
00:40:16Never apologize for that.
00:40:22Um, I'm-
00:40:23I'm gonna go home and get some rest.
00:40:26Clear my head and all.
00:40:28I'll finish cleaning up.
00:40:34Tony said you need to handle this competition.
00:40:37Or else.
00:40:38Or else what?
00:40:39What the fuck do you think guys like us are hired to do?
00:40:41Hey, hey, but I'm-
00:40:42I'm a judge.
00:40:43I- I- I- I- you know, I got fired.
00:40:44I- I have no way to-
00:40:45That sounds like a you problem.
00:40:55No turning back now.
00:40:59My pleasure.
00:41:01Pleasure.
00:41:10I got you.
00:41:12I promise.
00:41:18I-
00:41:18I-
00:41:21I-
00:41:25I-
00:41:27I-
00:41:27Hello, chefs.
00:41:28How delighted we are to have you tonight.
00:41:30Toasting the competition.
00:41:32I'd like to apologize for the late start this evening.
00:41:35Seems like one of our judges got food poisoning.
00:41:38I know.
00:41:39Ironic.
00:41:40Luckily, a last-minute replacement randomly stumbled in.
00:41:43We would also like to mention this year we have a celebrity judge that we are all quite excited about.
00:41:49So please, help me welcome our judges.
00:41:53Woo!
00:41:55Woo!
00:41:56Woo!
00:41:56Woo!
00:41:56Woo!
00:41:56Woo!
00:41:57Woo!
00:41:57Woo!
00:41:58Woo!
00:41:59Woo!
00:42:01Woo!
00:42:01Woo!
00:42:02Woo!
00:42:05Woo!
00:42:08Woo!
00:42:12Woo!
00:42:14Woo!
00:42:15Woo!
00:42:16Woo!
00:42:16Woo!
00:42:17Woo!
00:42:17Woo!
00:42:17Woo!
00:42:18Woo!
00:42:21Woo!
00:42:24Woo!
00:42:25Woo!
00:42:25Woo!
00:42:26Woo!
00:42:26Woo!
00:42:30Woo!
00:42:30Woo!
00:42:31Woo!
00:42:33Woo!
00:42:34Woo!
00:42:35Woo!
00:42:35I'm not a great conversationalist.
00:42:38That's all you.
00:42:49I can't wait to watch the staff interact with the judges.
00:42:52Oh wait, I mean, just you and Dash.
00:42:55What are you talking about?
00:42:57The competition doesn't just judge the food.
00:43:00They judge the service.
00:43:01And knowing your lack of personal skills.
00:43:12What's wrong?
00:43:16Okay, I guess this was a terrible idea.
00:43:20You know, the competition is going to cost me two nights of payment on the floor and I...
00:43:24I hate to break it to you, but having seen how last night went,
00:43:28staying open wouldn't have changed that.
00:43:31Okay, well, maybe I should just shut down the restaurant and save my dignity.
00:43:35They're not going to do that.
00:43:38I won't allow it.
00:43:40What is this really about, Nina?
00:43:42I need to learn how to be charming.
00:43:51How's your evening going, ma'am?
00:43:53Just get on with it.
00:43:56Taking in how the customer is feeling will help you understand their needs, Chef Nina.
00:44:01Hmm.
00:44:02Well, fine. I'm...
00:44:04I'm feeling frustrated.
00:44:07Well, you came to the right spot to cool down.
00:44:10How about a nice chilled soup to start?
00:44:12Or, um, would a cocktail fit your fancy?
00:44:18Worked, didn't it?
00:44:20Yeah, that was good.
00:44:23Now, your turn.
00:44:25What?
00:44:26No.
00:44:27Yeah.
00:44:27From the entrance.
00:44:47That was adorable.
00:44:49No, it wasn't. Redo.
00:44:52Hey, hey, hey.
00:44:54Relax.
00:45:01You smell like chocolate and strawberries.
00:45:05Better?
00:45:11Yeah.
00:45:12How are you doing this evening?
00:45:14Starving.
00:45:16Then you must be interested in our five-course menu experience.
00:45:20That'll definitely satisfy your hunger.
00:45:25Exactly.
00:45:26This might not be so bad after all.
00:45:29Well, yeah.
00:45:30I mean, if your father and my ex don't potentially ruin our futures as chefs,
00:45:34this should be a piece of cake.
00:45:39I got you.
00:45:41We'll win this together.
00:45:42I promise.
00:45:45Yes, chef.
00:45:50We need to do a dry run from beginning to end.
00:45:54You ready?
00:45:58Good.
00:46:00I think you can speak in.
00:46:18I've been thinking about you all day, every hour.
00:46:22I'm living it up, drinking my cup, but you got the power.
00:46:26My body's in motion.
00:46:28I'm drunk on emotion.
00:46:30Better tell me that you want it, cause I think I'm falling.
00:46:36Nothing deeper into you.
00:46:40So tonight.
00:46:46Wow.
00:46:48It's perfect.
00:46:51Good luck at you, chef.
00:46:53Good luck at you, chef.
00:47:04Good luck.
00:47:05Please excuse us as we prepare your next course.
00:47:08Bon?
00:47:09Appetit.
00:47:16Ah, excuse me.
00:47:34Uh, where are you going?
00:47:36To check on our guests and grab their empty plates.
00:47:38Of course.
00:47:42What?
00:47:43What is it?
00:47:45Nothing, it's uh, it's just...
00:47:48It just feels like the home I've always wanted to build.
00:47:52Me too.
00:47:59What?
00:48:24And uh, guess what?
00:48:26Well...
00:48:28We're gonna get to sit and enjoy this all for ourselves?
00:48:30Mm-mm-mm.
00:48:33It's dessert time.
00:48:34Mm.
00:48:35Of course.
00:48:36Don't worry.
00:48:38I got it.
00:48:42It's dessert time.
00:48:44Mm-mm.
00:48:48It's dessert time.
00:48:50Mm-mm.
00:48:52Of course.
00:48:52No worries.
00:48:58What do you think you're doing?
00:49:01I...
00:49:01I just...
00:49:03Wanted to help you with some behind the scenes.
00:49:08You ready?
00:49:11Action.
00:49:15Anyone can build a house.
00:49:18But it takes love...
00:49:19To make it a home.
00:49:22And uh...
00:49:23That's my secret ingredient for the dessert I'm gonna prepare for the competition.
00:49:28The dessert my mother used to make me when I was feeling sad and she knew...
00:49:33I needed love...
00:49:35To get me through some hard times.
00:49:44Let me get some thought.
00:49:47Sorry.
00:49:49No, it's fine.
00:49:50I can...
00:49:50I can clean it myself.
00:49:54Or uh...
00:50:00I can.
00:50:23I...
00:50:24...
00:50:25Y-you...
00:50:26You...
00:50:26You could, uh...
00:50:27Yes.
00:50:29Yeah.
00:50:38I'll be right back.
00:50:53So the cameras are still up?
00:50:59Don't worry. I can't turn them away so they don't face us.
00:51:05So what if they do?
00:51:10Yes, Chef.
00:51:27Tell me how much you want.
00:51:31All of it.
00:51:34Yes, Chef.
00:51:36I wanna hear your body talk. Let it tell me what you want.
00:51:42You don't have to say it.
00:51:55How do you like it?
00:51:59Well done.
00:52:21How do you think we'd score?
00:52:2310 out of 10 for sure.
00:52:32Let's win this thing.
00:52:39Seconds?
00:52:41Can we have actual dessert before we leave?
00:52:46I'll be right back.
00:53:05How'd you sleep?
00:53:09Amazingly.
00:53:11Until I woke up and realized today could change everything.
00:53:15It's my one shot.
00:53:20I got you.
00:53:31So we can't do the grilled octopus and beetroot salad.
00:53:34We do have shrimp too.
00:53:36So how about we start off with the shrimp?
00:53:39And then salmon after.
00:53:41Yes, we'll replace the octopus.
00:53:44Wait.
00:53:51Wait.
00:54:08Welcome home.
00:54:11Greeting us yourselves?
00:54:12You really can't keep a staff, can you?
00:54:16Hmm...
00:54:16We let them have the night off.
00:54:19It's just us.
00:54:21Mi casa, su casa.
00:54:23We've had a long day at the other restaurants and I have a plane to catch after this, so can
00:54:28we get on with it?
00:54:29This way.
00:54:46Enjoy the wine. We'll be right back with your first course.
00:55:08And...
00:55:15Just tell them a story. This is your home after all.
00:55:27This dish is from my late father's homeland.
00:55:32It's a take on a meal we would eat on fishing boats after a long day at sea.
00:55:37Expertly executed, chef.
00:55:49Is there something wrong, Judge?
00:55:54Uninspired.
00:55:55You can't be serious. Are you even qualified to be here?
00:55:59He probably sabotaged his way back in.
00:56:03I heard how you got fired.
00:56:13We'll get you a new fork, sir.
00:56:20So attentive.
00:56:26Oh, just eat, you snake.
00:56:28This is the worst meal of my life. Disgusting.
00:56:33Walking down memory lane must have really worked out my appetite.
00:56:39As I said, expertly executed.
00:56:48You...
00:57:00I hope you all saved room for dessert.
00:57:03It's Chef Dash's specialty.
00:57:07Can't be served.
00:57:08I'll be serving you all a dish from my childhood.
00:57:13My late mother used to make me eat this dish when I was feeling low.
00:57:16And to this day, every time I eat it, it's as if she's here with me.
00:57:22Putting a smile on my face.
00:57:26Excuse me.
00:57:26It's an honor to have him serve this dish under my name.
00:57:31Excuse me.
00:57:40Wait, wait, wait, wait. Those scores are higher than the ones you gave to Chef Tony.
00:57:44As it should be. This is one of the most unique experiences I've ever had.
00:57:48Across the board, excellence.
00:57:51It's just the two of them.
00:57:52Exactly. It's like I'm literally in their home.
00:57:56It's so giving...
00:57:58Mommy and Daddy vibes.
00:58:01Please, tell me you don't agree with these amateurs.
00:58:03It is unique.
00:58:05But I have my own hang-ups to ponder.
00:58:09Oh, God.
00:58:10I didn't think this plan would fail.
00:58:12I must do something.
00:58:18Only one dessert?
00:58:20Why'd you run out of money?
00:58:22Dessert here is served family style.
00:58:25It's meant to be shared.
00:58:26To be fought over.
00:58:28To bring us all together.
00:58:38Bon appétit.
00:58:40Whoa.
00:58:42It's even more beautiful in person.
00:58:44It looks exactly like.
00:58:46It is.
00:58:48Exactly how she made it.
00:58:50Minus the flowers and gold.
00:58:52Of course.
00:58:54I'm afraid to try it.
00:58:57I know.
00:58:58I understand.
00:59:07Sorry.
00:59:15There's something.
00:59:19Spoon.
00:59:20Spoon.
00:59:21Nobody fuck the White Daddy vibes.
00:59:22There's nobody.
00:59:23Spoon.
00:59:37It's...
00:59:38It's exactly it's as if she's here with me today you brought her back to life
00:59:53May we?
01:00:08This was a cherry on top of a perfectly executed meal
01:00:12I know who my winner is
01:00:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
01:00:17That's not how this was supposed to go, okay?
01:00:19I flooded their restaurant, alright?
01:00:21I'm the one that did that!
01:00:23I poisoned his drink so that Chef Tony would get the highest score and I'd cook their chefs, alright?
01:00:28She, she still rises, that little fucking pizza girl!
01:00:35I should kill you!
01:00:39They're gonna kill me!
01:00:59Hey boss, just saw Axel run off.
01:01:05If the winner was announced, you gotta be shitting me.
01:01:10Yeah, we'll hand that one from here.
01:01:15Home water.
01:01:16Huh.
01:01:19It's time for Axel to go swimming with the fishes.
01:01:30Okay, now you two stand in front of your sign because we need a photo of the first ever
01:01:36dual chefs to win this competition.
01:01:42There we go.
01:01:46Such a sexy couple.
01:01:48Thanks.
01:01:49Wait.
01:01:50Are we?
01:01:59That's a yes, by the way.
01:02:03Can I get one with my dad in it?
01:02:06Absolutely.
01:02:22Congratulations.
01:02:30This is going to help us so much.
01:02:33Thank you again for your vote.
01:02:35I knew it the moment I saw your first plate.
01:02:38You've got talent.
01:02:40Both of you.
01:02:42I hate to say it, but I'm impressed.
01:02:45Thank you, Chef Leto.
01:02:47It means a lot coming from an extraordinary chef like yourself.
01:02:49You both have a bright future.
01:02:53I'd like to bring home under the Leto Fine Dining Management Group.
01:03:00That would be an honor, Chef.
01:03:02You'll have all the funding you need to keep this star of a restaurant going.
01:03:09And as for you, I'll reinstate your trust fund into the bank account tomorrow morning.
01:03:15Hold on.
01:03:18Hello.
01:03:21Really?
01:03:22But how?
01:03:26You don't say.
01:03:28Interesting.
01:03:31My assistant just informed me that all my restaurants are suddenly booked up for the next two years.
01:03:38Something about a photo my son uploaded with me in it.
01:03:41The internet's calling me Zaddy Leto.
01:03:47Maybe I can delay my flight so you can teach me how to make a post. What do you say?
01:03:53I'd say we have time for another bottle of wine and a recap.
01:03:58Maybe some dessert, too?
01:04:06We did it!
01:04:08Just the two of us.
01:04:10In our home.
01:04:12I have a special video I'd like to edit for you.
01:04:17The security footage?
01:04:19Yes.
01:04:20Yes.
01:04:21But you have to promise me to keep it private.
01:04:25I'll keep it safe.
01:04:27Just like how you've kept me.
01:04:29Just like how I see.
01:04:32It's good.
01:04:32It's bad.
01:04:35It's good.
01:04:36It's good, too.
01:04:36It's good.
