00:00:00Mmm. Nailed it.
00:00:14Nice.
00:00:16Oh my gosh, so good. Thanks, Ira.
00:00:20My blue lobster. My gourmet tuna. My treasures.
00:00:25Chef Mitzlambe, what's wrong?
00:00:27You used all my top-shelf shit?
00:00:31Well, why let the primo ingredients go to waste, you know?
00:00:34We're done. We're like a diet soda at a barbecue, completely empty.
00:00:38Your cooking skills have surpassed mine.
00:00:41You could go down the mountain and make some cash.
00:00:44And there are endless ingredients down there, so you'll really shine.
00:00:57Watch out, world. Here I come.
00:01:06Vaughn has the prep for the culinary competition coming.
00:01:12Everything is on track.
00:01:14We have to find the culinary guru this time.
00:01:29Is the culinary guru really on this mountain?
00:01:39I'm starting to thank God cursed me with an eating disorder for all of my gourmet talent.
00:01:47Hey, dude, what are you doing?
00:02:06Here. Try this.
00:02:08I am a renowned food critic.
00:02:10I would rather starve than eat something that looks like it was wrapped by a raccoon.
00:02:23Fine. Hope you don't regret it.
00:02:26What's in it?
00:02:28Just regular food.
00:02:30Just regular food. Now show me.
00:02:32So now you want to try it? Pay me first.
00:02:37I am a legendary food critic.
00:02:40If I am even thinking about eating that, you should be rolling out the red carpet.
00:02:46Well, isn't this funny? The starving foodie.
00:02:50I never heard of you. How do I know you're not a fraud?
00:02:53Same deal. No cash, no food.
00:03:02Here you go.
00:03:06Here you go.
00:03:19Well, it was a pleasure serving you today. I hope to see you again soon.
00:03:25It's just like that day.
00:03:26Just like that day.
00:03:28Oh, Fox!
00:03:29You're...
00:03:30You're eating it again?
00:03:32A year ago, I was a skeleton on the street.
00:03:37And the culinary guru's food saved my life.
00:03:40Ever since then, I've never tasted anything like it.
00:03:43She mu...
00:03:45Vaughn, we have to find her.
00:03:49She might have some connection to the culinary guru.
00:03:56This jar is perfect for pickles.
00:04:00Mom, tell me why we brought this clueless country bumpkin home.
00:04:04You've always complained about your fiancé, that eating disorder guy.
00:04:09So, why don't we have her marry into the Thompson family instead?
00:04:13So, if Alex marries Ira, when he kicks the bucket, we can snag his fortune through her?
00:04:22Smart girl, just like your mother.
00:04:24Did you say fortune?
00:04:26Is my dad finally going to kick the bucket and leave me some cash?
00:04:28You heartless brat.
00:04:30I found a great husband for you.
00:04:32Get yourself ready to marry him.
00:04:35No, I came down to make money, not get married.
00:04:38Someone like you, so poor and provincial, should be grateful that someone wants you.
00:04:49Oh, come on.
00:04:51Someone as ugly as you could still marry my dad.
00:04:53I'm far superior to you, so I wouldn't worry about me.
00:04:57Mom?
00:04:58Our top priority right now is to secure the marriage with the sickly Thompson heir.
00:05:03I'm here to handle this.
00:05:04What a handsome guy.
00:05:10Too bad he's on the verge of dying.
00:05:12Mr. Thompson, what brings you here?
00:05:15I heard Miss Williams doesn't seem to honor our engagement, so let's just call the wedding off.
00:05:20Wait, there must be a misunderstanding.
00:05:25This is Ira, the eldest daughter of the Williams family.
00:05:29She can represent the Williams family in marrying you.
00:05:33It's you.
00:05:34You?
00:05:36Miss, you know my boss?
00:05:38Yeah, I caught him on the brink of starvation, just near...
00:05:42One more word, and you're toast.
00:05:48Why can't I say anything?
00:05:49It's no secret you're starving.
00:05:53So on this day, he just collapsed right at my feet...
00:05:56Miss Williams, you've convinced me.
00:05:58Let's get married.
00:05:59Hey, Vaughn.
00:06:19What's with all the cash?
00:06:21You buying a farm?
00:06:22The boss is trying to tackle his eating disorder.
00:06:25I hired the top medical team, and this is their check.
00:06:29Pfft, eating disorder?
00:06:30That's easy peasy.
00:06:32Hand it over, and I'll fix him up.
00:06:34What do you mean?
00:06:35You can send those doctors home.
00:06:37Just give me the money, and I'll handle the treatment.
00:06:46What are you doing?
00:06:47Alex, I'm going to be your personal healing chef.
00:06:53You know nothing about it.
00:06:55How could you possibly cure me?
00:06:58You stop messing around, and just get out.
00:07:03Out.
00:07:03Out.
00:07:03Well, they'll just stand there like a statue.
00:07:26Let's eat together.
00:07:27Try my food, and you'll no longer look like a contestant on a survival reality TV show.
00:07:32Like I touched that.
00:07:35It's probably nasty as hell.
00:07:37Fine by me.
00:07:38Just don't come begging for it later.
00:07:46Yum, yum.
00:07:47It's so ridiculously good.
00:07:49Hurry, come eat.
00:07:56Irish cooking is out of this world.
00:08:03No, I'm good.
00:08:05I'm not hungry.
00:08:07Sir, you've got to hang in there.
00:08:09Another plate.
00:08:10No, make it two.
00:08:11Thank you for the best meal we've had in our entire lives.
00:08:16Oh, please.
00:08:17It's nothing.
00:08:21Hey, you pathetic self-important foodie.
00:08:24I wonder if you're drooling yet.
00:08:26Oh, shit.
00:08:45I need my liquid nutrients.
00:08:48Oh.
00:08:49Oh, protein shakes are gone.
00:09:00I'll have to make do with something else.
00:09:04This looks pretty good.
00:09:06Weird, I'm actually tempted to try it.
00:09:11It's not that I want it.
00:09:13Try it.
00:09:13I just need to test this girl's culinary skills.
00:09:19It smells pretty good.
00:09:31Ira?
00:09:33Are you there?
00:09:44Are you a sneaky cake burglar?
00:09:47I'm just taste testing.
00:09:49Well, I'm not singy.
00:09:51You can have it.
00:09:52But you have to pay the cake tax.
00:10:02Get off me, you wet towel.
00:10:09Stuff to the brim.
00:10:10The foodie ate his way into an eating disorder.
00:10:12Alex, my heart is racing.
00:10:21What's happening to me?
00:10:26What a strange guy.
00:10:36I don't know, Alex.
00:10:38She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy.
00:10:46She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy.
00:10:46Take advantage of me like that.
00:11:09What the heck was that for?
00:11:11Is it too late to apologize?
00:11:16Oh, get out!
00:11:24Are you mad?
00:11:30We have the lost ancient recipe as a prize.
00:11:33Should be enough to lure out the culinary team.
00:11:35Don't worry, sir.
00:11:37We've reached Blake, the culinary guru's top apprentice.
00:11:40He'll be a judge, and there might be news about the chef soon.
00:11:49Mom?
00:11:50I made a new dish.
00:11:51Please take it to your boss.
00:11:53But you have to pay me before he eats it.
00:11:56Madam, the boss is busy with the culinary guru competition.
00:11:59He definitely won't be able to eat what you've made.
00:12:03You're still looking for the culinary guru?
00:12:05Boss is tough to heal.
00:12:07Only the culinary guru can help.
00:12:09We're using the lost ancient recipe as the prize for the cook-off to lure him in.
00:12:14The lost ancient recipe?
00:12:15That's a great prize.
00:12:17My mentor will be so happy if I win it.
00:12:20You have a mentor?
00:12:24You have a mentor?
00:12:25Don't worry, Alex.
00:12:27I will cure you and win the cooking competition.
00:12:30You want to participate in the cooking competition?
00:12:33All the top chefs from the nation will be there.
00:12:36You should just forget about it.
00:12:38You'll be crushed.
00:12:39Just let me try.
00:12:40I can do it.
00:12:44Fine.
00:12:45Just don't be too upset if you lose.
00:12:49I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary.
00:12:52Great.
00:12:52I will show you what I can do.
00:12:55Did you hear?
00:12:58The head apprentice of the culinary guru is coming to judge today.
00:13:02Yeah.
00:13:03I just came to catch a glimpse of the legendary head apprentice.
00:13:06I heard Alex is bringing his new wife.
00:13:08I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with.
00:13:14Alex's wife?
00:13:16That girl is just an ugly and unrefined country bumpkin.
00:13:20I can't believe Alex ended up with some broke and ugly chick.
00:13:24Look!
00:13:26Look!
00:13:45I can't believe Ira's so full of herself now.
00:13:48Should I not have called off the engagement before?
00:13:50Oh, don't be fooled by their current glamour.
00:13:54I've heard Alex's condition is worsening.
00:13:57Otherwise, he wouldn't be playing matchmaker for the culinary guru.
00:14:01Alex owns a food empire.
00:14:04If they could find culinary guru and cure him, it would only benefit that hick Ira.
00:14:09No way.
00:14:10I have to win Alex back.
00:14:13What's in those jars?
00:14:16Those are called spices.
00:14:19They're key to making gourmet dishes.
00:14:24You know nothing, country bumpkin.
00:14:27Oh, those are just flashy things.
00:14:29The most important part of real cuisine is to cook with the heart.
00:14:32It's how you bring out the ingredients as natural flavors.
00:14:36Despite her usual unreliable demeanor, she actually has her own insights about food.
00:14:42You clueless hick.
00:14:44Don't pretend to know anything.
00:14:46There can only be one big winner tonight.
00:14:49And that's me.
00:14:51Ira's right.
00:14:52A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
00:14:55I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
00:14:57Well, hold on.
00:14:58It's not that bad.
00:15:01You deserve to starve, Alex.
00:15:04If you were for the possibility of the culinary guru appearing to cure your illness,
00:15:08I wouldn't even consider taking you back.
00:15:19Master Blake!
00:15:20We all admire you greatly.
00:15:25Master Blake.
00:15:26Still no news of the culinary guru?
00:15:28My master's gone into seclusion with the junior apprentice,
00:15:31and I have not been able to find out where he is.
00:15:34Blake!
00:15:35Hi, Ira.
00:15:36Long time no see.
00:15:38What are you doing here?
00:15:39How do you two know each other?
00:15:43Blake, the competition's about to start, and the host is calling for you.
00:15:49Alex, don't worry.
00:15:51I think I'll still find the whereabouts of the culinary guru.
00:15:54Oh, of course I know him.
00:15:58Of course I know him.
00:16:03It could happen.
00:16:05People meet every day.
00:16:06I know him.
00:16:07I know him.
00:16:07It could happen.
00:16:07He's trying to find the way he is.
00:16:08He's trying to find the way he is.
00:16:09He's trying to find the way he is.
00:16:10Ladies and gentlemen, today's winner will receive an ancient lost recipe and a vivid fancy pink diamond from the Thompson family.
00:16:18The competition officially begins. There's only one room.
00:16:22Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson to eat their dish, wins.
00:16:31I suggest you back down now before you embarrass yourself even more.
00:16:35The pressure won't drive her crazy, right?
00:16:40What's she doing?
00:16:45I need a big pot.
00:16:47Um, sure. No problem.
00:16:50Behind you.
00:16:58What a unique cooking method.
00:17:02Ivor, what are you doing?
00:17:04You're disgracing the Williams family.
00:17:07I've got more tricks up my sleeve, Ira.
00:17:10Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself.
00:17:13Just as I thought.
00:17:25Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe.
00:17:30Can't even handle the basics.
00:17:33Try not to poison the judges with that shit.
00:17:35What's she doing?
00:17:40No seasonings?
00:17:41Hilarious.
00:17:42She's out for sure.
00:17:49Awful.
00:17:49Trash.
00:17:50This is an assault on my senses.
00:17:55Could there be a twist?
00:17:58Is Alex going to taste it?
00:18:02Up next, Michelin-starred chef Evelyn Williams.
00:18:06Will this dish impress?
00:18:09Alex, you're ready for a treat.
00:18:19Alex, this dish seems different.
00:18:22Seems like you're savoring it.
00:18:28Totally flavorless.
00:18:29It's like my taste buds were on a vacation.
00:18:31I'll forget this dish the moment that I'm finished with it.
00:18:34For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
00:18:42Dizzy.
00:18:44Is there no food worthy of a gourmand like me?
00:18:47Looks like his taste buds are as sharp as ever.
00:18:50Anyone willing to try this stew stuff?
00:18:55Chaotic stew.
00:18:56Zero presentation, zero appeal.
00:18:59This dish doesn't even warrant a critique.
00:19:01I really overestimated Ira.
00:19:05Looks like Alex isn't interested in Ira's dish either.
00:19:08Will our gourmand go home empty-handed?
00:19:11You guys don't understand.
00:19:13My stew will be unforgettable after just one bite.
00:19:22Ira, stop.
00:19:24You're an embarrassment to the profession.
00:19:25What's that?
00:19:28This familiar allure.
00:19:30I even want to try this ugly dish.
00:19:33What's happening?
00:19:35Why am I tempted by this ugly food?
00:19:37If I eat this, I may lose my reputation as a foodie.
00:19:42But I really want to try it.
00:19:55I don't know if I emulate it.
00:19:57But I'm still nuts.
00:20:08I am trying to try this ugly food-handed.
00:20:12I think rats said.
00:20:12They cut you in the middle.
00:20:14チ rich salmon and go over there.
00:20:16I want her to try this ugly,
00:20:18if they werecier,
00:20:20I think we're going to try it.
00:20:21So,
00:20:23now it makes you look at me.
00:20:23Alex is as picky as a toddler.
00:20:51I'd finally made something he was willing to try and then he fainted.
00:20:56Alex, you're so thin you could fit under a locked door.
00:20:59You're not looking healthy.
00:21:01Isn't he a handful?
00:21:03Alright, one more shot.
00:21:06The stew you made at the competition?
00:21:08Stay put. I'll cure you.
00:21:16What? Where's my seasonings?
00:21:19Easy there, Ira.
00:21:21You can still do it. It will just take a bit more time.
00:21:26Ma'am, the boss is fainted again. Where's the dish ready?
00:21:31Again? Seriously?
00:21:33One sec.
00:21:35Strange. Hearing that Alex fainted made me cut my finger.
00:21:42It's just a little boo-boo. Who needs the culinary guru?
00:21:45Hang tight, Alex.
00:21:49I brought you the stew.
00:21:54Ira, you're late.
00:21:58Alex had my dish and is back on his feet.
00:22:01Oh really? The dish that made him faint at the competition?
00:22:05I gotta try it.
00:22:06You did eat my stuff, right?
00:22:11Yeah, thanks for that.
00:22:15Ira, get over here.
00:22:16No.
00:22:17Hey, what happened to your hand?
00:22:19So you do care, Alex?
00:22:21No, it's not like that. Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew.
00:22:24I don't want blood in my food.
00:22:26Forget that old stew.
00:22:27I'll take care of you and I can fix your eating problem.
00:22:31Only food from the culinary guru counts.
00:22:33Everything else is trash.
00:22:35You...
00:22:36Hey, I can pay you.
00:22:38I'm not after money.
00:22:39If Alex can eat my food, then I'm the best choice to be his wife.
00:22:44Ditch Ira and let's get married.
00:22:47Marrying Alex means all his money is mine.
00:22:51Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex.
00:22:53That fortune is mine.
00:22:55Do you really want to be with someone after your cash?
00:22:59Not your business.
00:23:04Vaughn, give me a band-aid.
00:23:11Alex promised to share his inheritance with me.
00:23:15Do it yourself.
00:23:19Hello?
00:23:20Hello, my dear apprentice.
00:23:21I just got my phone and called you.
00:23:23How are you?
00:23:25I...
00:23:26I miss you, my dear.
00:23:27I thought I might come for a visit.
00:23:29Awesome.
00:23:30My mentor is coming to visit.
00:23:32Robert, I need backup.
00:23:34I married this rich guy, Alex Thompson,
00:23:36and now my stepsister is after him and his money.
00:23:39What are you talking about?
00:23:41I'm not after money.
00:23:43Ira, is that how you talk about me?
00:23:45Your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole.
00:23:48Why do you care what he thinks?
00:23:49Maybe you should worry about your own problems.
00:23:53Great news.
00:23:56Your appetite issues are about to be fixed.
00:23:59With me taking care of your meals, you'll be fine.
00:24:02Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
00:24:05Actually, it's culinary guru.
00:24:07Really?
00:24:08Where is he?
00:24:09I've contacted Master.
00:24:10He's coming to help you.
00:24:12I need to win Alex over before he arrives.
00:24:19She hung up on me.
00:24:21I tell you, that Ira is getting way out of line.
00:24:24Wait a minute.
00:24:25Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO with the eating disorder that Blake asked me to treat?
00:24:30Oh, my dear apprentice.
00:24:43I'm on my way.
00:24:44Think they can kick me to the curb just because they found the culinary guru?
00:24:49Where'd I get this stuff anyway?
00:24:50It actually got Alex to eat my food.
00:24:51But it's mine now.
00:24:52Once Alex drinks this love potion, he's all mine.
00:24:53Try my soup while it's still hot.
00:24:54How's it width of the culinary guru?
00:24:55Could this seasoning be better?
00:24:56How's it width of the culinary guru?
00:24:57How'd I get this stuff?
00:24:58How'd I get this stuff anyway?
00:24:59It actually got Alex to eat my food.
00:25:00But it's mine now.
00:25:03Once Alex drinks this love potion, he's all mine.
00:25:16Try my soup while it's still hot.
00:25:21How's it width of the culinary guru?
00:25:23Could this seasoning be linked to the culinary guru?
00:25:26It's Ira's shit.
00:25:28That's a stretch.
00:25:29We could get used to it.
00:25:31Since you could finally eat, let me feed you.
00:25:34I got this, thanks.
00:25:36Come on, don't push me away.
00:25:37What's wrong with you?
00:25:38And why is it so hot in here?
00:25:42Seriously, Evelyn, get off.
00:25:44Feeling warm?
00:25:46Let me help.
00:25:46Alex, something's off with the culinary guru.
00:25:48This is how you help?
00:25:55I gotta see this.
00:26:01Get lost.
00:26:05Feeling better already, huh?
00:26:15She calls that help and you just watched me get groped.
00:26:28My heart.
00:26:29Am I sick too?
00:26:31Alex, you're burning up.
00:26:32Can I help?
00:26:34Yeah, I could use your help.
00:26:45Hey, what the hell?
00:26:47Well, you were overheating.
00:26:49You must have a fever.
00:26:50I thought it might cool you down.
00:26:52Did it work?
00:26:53Ira, you were such a dork.
00:26:58Dammit, Ira, you ruined my game.
00:27:01Seriously, you're such an idiot.
00:27:03You too, John?
00:27:04Alex, guess what?
00:27:06I met the culinary guru.
00:27:08He thinks I'm a prodigy and wants to take me on as his apprentice.
00:27:11If my master listens to me, I would make the right choice.
00:27:15Are you threatening me?
00:27:17With an apprentice like you, that culinary guru must be a joke.
00:27:21If I don't sweet talk Alex into marrying me, I'll miss my shot when the culinary guru shows up.
00:27:26Alex, marry me and I'll make sure the culinary guru cures you.
00:27:30Not a chance.
00:27:32Is Ira finally waking up?
00:27:34Wait, Alex tossed your dish at the competition.
00:27:39What's your secret to getting him to eat it now?
00:27:44The reasoning Alex could eat?
00:27:46That was the one Ira left behind at the culinary guru contest.
00:27:49Could it be?
00:27:50She's his apprentice!
00:27:52Ira, what's your connection to the culinary guru?
00:27:55Why do you keep asking me that?
00:27:57I don't know any culinary guru.
00:27:59So Ira really is the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:28:02She doesn't even realize it.
00:28:04Well, maybe I can put that to use.
00:28:06Alex, how long can you wait?
00:28:08Don't you care about your health?
00:28:10Hands off the inheritance.
00:28:14Who's picking on my apprentice?
00:28:16Is that her mentor?
00:28:18Mentor?
00:28:19This be a culinary guru?
00:28:22Robert, you're here!
00:28:24Great to see you, kid.
00:28:26I've missed you tons.
00:28:32Nice digs you got here, kid.
00:28:34You landed a top-tier husband, didn't you?
00:28:36I can't believe you're finally here.
00:28:38I've missed you heaps.
00:28:39The culinary guru is here.
00:28:42Everyone?
00:28:44Me, Chef Robert McFombay.
00:28:46This guy?
00:28:47No way he's the world-famous culinary guru.
00:28:50He's as basic as Ira.
00:28:51Ira, bringing in some random grandpa just drags down Alex's reputation.
00:28:56Shut the fuck up, Evelyn.
00:28:59Don't insult my mentor.
00:29:01Let this queen twat yap.
00:29:04This is her only talent.
00:29:06Who are you calling twat?
00:29:08Old coon?
00:29:10I am the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:29:13One phone call and I'll snuff you both out.
00:29:16The culinary guru's apprentice?
00:29:19Funny.
00:29:21Never heard of you.
00:29:23Please, people like you from the middle of nowhere wouldn't know a celebrity if you sat down right in front of you.
00:29:32Enough, Evelyn. Apologize to my mentor.
00:29:36What's so funny, old coot?
00:29:39You say you're the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:29:43Why not prove it?
00:29:45With a cook-off with my apprentice.
00:29:48I just won the culinary championship.
00:29:52Why would I be scared of you, Ira?
00:29:55Last time you already lost.
00:29:57I was out last time, so that doesn't prove that Ira lost to you.
00:30:01Evelyn, I'm tired of your attitude.
00:30:04Threatening Alex with your cooking?
00:30:06Let's just see who's this he actually wants to taste.
00:30:08Ira, get real.
00:30:10If Alex could stomach your food, he would've by now.
00:30:14We'll see.
00:30:22With my secret sauce, let's see you stand a chance, Ira.
00:30:26Now why does she have my special blend in her hand?
00:30:34Oh no!
00:30:35Your fish, it's burning!
00:30:36What?!
00:30:43You sly old man!
00:30:45Learn from me and you might succeed.
00:30:47Copy me and you're going down.
00:30:49Let's see you beat Ira now, without my special blend.
00:30:52Alex will love this little kid food.
00:30:58Burn, baby, burn.
00:31:02All set, just need my turkey.
00:31:09What the hell?
00:31:11Burnt?
00:31:12No time to fix this now.
00:31:22You're right.
00:31:23You're right.
00:31:24Doors for me.
00:31:25Really?
00:31:26No time.
00:31:27You're welcome your neighbor.
00:31:28Nobody's going to do this.
00:31:29I believe you?
00:31:30You're right.
00:31:31We're not INSUMBLE.
00:31:32You got to see you.
00:31:33You're right.
00:31:34You're right.
00:31:35I want to wait.
00:31:36I'm no way too far.
00:31:37I want you to find me, no way too far.
00:31:38I'm going to do this.
00:31:39No way too.
00:31:40I'm sorry.
00:31:41I'm happy to hear you.
00:31:42You're right.
00:31:43I'm in the back.
00:31:44You're so thirsty, you're right.
00:31:45I'm sorry.
00:31:46I want to take you.
00:31:47I don't care.
00:31:48Oh, no.
00:31:49Even finish a dish and she's still talking big. Face it, Alex, she's all talk. Not marriage material. Who says I didn't finish? Just...
00:32:13What?
00:32:14Just hold your horses. Stop stalling, Ira. You miss the deadline, you lose.
00:32:21I'm the one who deserves that ring. Alex, you're not actually buying this, right?
00:32:27Ira, when did I ever say... Just... Alex, just try this.
00:32:32When I win, Ira's out and the title's mine for good. Go on, Alex, dig in. Let's hear the verdict.
00:32:44Hey, you good, boss?
00:32:51That is the worst slop I have ever tasted.
00:32:55What the hell?
00:32:57What did you put in that? It's triggering his eating disorder!
00:33:01Impossible! My spices are perfect. Someone must have messed with them.
00:33:06Evelyn, really? You're calling this yours?
00:33:11That's mine. I couldn't find it at the competition. So you take it.
00:33:18This is ours. You're a thief.
00:33:21No, no! Alex, you have to believe me.
00:33:23Vaughn, kick her out.
00:33:25Alex, just give me one more shot. I can whip up something amazing!
00:33:29Get lost!
00:33:31This can't be happening!
00:33:40Get that away from me. I can't even handle a protein shake right now.
00:33:4825 Oak Street. Yes, we have an emergency.
00:33:51Chronic eating disorder.
00:33:52Yes, we need help right away!
00:33:54Hang tight. My dish is almost done.
00:33:56Guess I'm doomed to starve as a foodie.
00:34:00Only the culinary guru gets me.
00:34:03So if the culinary guru doesn't show,
00:34:05you're off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
00:34:12You know, Irish cooking has certainly surpassed mine.
00:34:14You gotta try it. It's a flavor journey, man.
00:34:17I can't trust anyone anymore.
00:34:19Eating garbage every day.
00:34:22Just take me now.
00:34:26Alex, since you wanted a divorce,
00:34:28shall we figure out what happens next?
00:34:30Who-who talked about a divorce?
00:34:32I'm on my last legs here.
00:34:34Couldn't you at least comfort me?
00:34:36Weird.
00:34:37I kinda don't like seeing Alex like this.
00:34:41What's that noise?
00:34:44No need for the hospital.
00:34:46Huh?
00:34:47My roast chicken is ready.
00:34:57Here, Alex. Chow down.
00:35:01Guess your fortune is mine.
00:35:03Forget about him, Ira. Let's dig in.
00:35:07Man, that smells amazing.
00:35:09Try a piece.
00:35:12Butter.
00:35:13It's so sad my boss can't eat nothing.
00:35:23Boss!
00:35:24It's the best food ever!
00:35:25You really gotta try some!
00:35:26Please!
00:35:27Told ya.
00:35:28Ira's got skills.
00:35:30You can talk all you want.
00:35:31This world's food has burned too many times.
00:35:34I've told Alex my cooking could cure him.
00:35:36Do all husbands not trust their wives?
00:35:38Maybe I just need a normal guy.
00:35:40Well, what are you after?
00:35:41Pretty boy?
00:35:42A handsome guy?
00:35:44I've got connections.
00:35:47Oh!
00:35:48Well, look who the cat dragged in.
00:35:52How was Heaven treating you?
00:35:59Fine.
00:36:00One more shot.
00:36:02But remember, I'm a food critic.
00:36:05I'll be keeping it real.
00:36:06No sugarcum.
00:36:07If you want some, help yourself.
00:36:13What are you waiting for? A butler?
00:36:30What?
00:36:31Ira's cooking is even better than the culinary guru.
00:36:35Boss is eating!
00:36:36I've gotta tell Lady Linda!
00:36:38Ira.
00:36:40What is your connection to the culinary guru?
00:36:43Why do you keep asking that?
00:36:45I don't know a culinary guru.
00:36:47He's probably just a scammer.
00:36:53Get over it already.
00:36:54But that box you made was just like the culinary guru.
00:36:59And your dish, Ira.
00:37:01Even I.
00:37:02A top critic.
00:37:03I gotta admit.
00:37:04It's legit.
00:37:06Oh, well, Robert made that one.
00:37:13Yeah, sorry.
00:37:14Sorry.
00:37:15I forgot to say.
00:37:16I'm the one everyone's been talking about.
00:37:18I'm the culinary guru.
00:37:24What?
00:37:25And Ira here, my apprentice, is already better than I am.
00:37:30Why didn't you tell us sooner?
00:37:31Alex wouldn't have been sick this entire time.
00:37:36Ira, I didn't know you actually cared about me.
00:37:40Well, you're such a picky eater.
00:37:41You had me believing that my cooking needed some serious work.
00:37:44So you've just been cooking for me to test your skills, huh?
00:37:46Boss, you're eating again!
00:37:47We're in the clear for the food court project.
00:37:48Alex, I whipped up a new dish.
00:37:49You gotta try it.
00:37:50Another review session?
00:37:51As your test subject.
00:37:52You know, I have my pride too.
00:37:53Why are you acting like that?
00:37:54You're acting like that?
00:37:55I'm not.
00:37:56I'm not.
00:37:57I'm not.
00:37:58I'm not.
00:37:59I'm not.
00:38:00I'm not.
00:38:01I'm not.
00:38:02I'm not.
00:38:03I'm not.
00:38:04I'm not.
00:38:05I'm not.
00:38:06I'm not.
00:38:07I'm not.
00:38:08I'm not.
00:38:09I'm not.
00:38:10I'm not.
00:38:11I'm not.
00:38:12I'm not.
00:38:13I'm not.
00:38:14I'm not.
00:38:15Why are you acting so serious?
00:38:21What's this mess?
00:38:24You know I'm a bit of a neat freak.
00:38:27So, other than cooking, do you have any big dreams?
00:38:32I sure do!
00:38:34I need to save my dinner from burning.
00:38:51Life's better when you can actually eat.
00:38:53Why is my face so hot?
00:39:02Oh crap! I ruined it!
00:39:06My first time messing up a dish and it's all Alex's fault? I must be cursed. No way. I'm out of here.
00:39:25Ooh, I love this suit. It's so nice.
00:39:37Alex, since you're feeling better, I'm out of here.
00:39:44So who's this?
00:39:46Hi, I'm Gina.
00:39:49Ira, you said you were leaving?
00:39:52You know what?
00:39:53I might stick around.
00:40:05Ira, what's the hurry?
00:40:07Grandma, Alex is downstairs chatting with some girl.
00:40:10No.
00:40:13Alex, I've missed you all these years.
00:40:16Oh really? I don't believe it.
00:40:19Grandma, who is she?
00:40:21I don't buy it either.
00:40:22She's just acting sweet.
00:40:24She's Alex's first crush.
00:40:26The one that left him to study abroad.
00:40:29Without a thought.
00:40:31Gina, didn't you swear you were done with this place?
00:40:34Missed you all these years.
00:40:42I came back because my heart belongs to you.
00:40:46Looks like Ira's catching feelings for Alex.
00:40:52I know I blew it before.
00:40:54I put my plans before us and threw away everything that we had, but I'm here.
00:40:59I'm willing to throw away all my pride, whatever it takes.
00:41:02Just say I'll give it one more chance.
00:41:05Gina, you left him with nothing but a letter.
00:41:07I was lost trying to make sense of it for so long.
00:41:11And now you're back.
00:41:12What's the point?
00:41:13Alex, I came back for us.
00:41:15I've never forgotten about us.
00:41:17After all these years, I know you still feel it too.
00:41:21You haven't forgotten what we had.
00:41:23Let's just give it another shot.
00:41:25Aren't you hungry, Alex?
00:41:37Let's go.
00:41:39Alex!
00:41:40Gina, I'm married now.
00:41:42Just go.
00:41:43Oh!
00:41:44Oh!
00:41:45Oh!
00:41:46Oh!
00:41:47Oh!
00:41:48Oh!
00:41:49Oh!
00:41:50Oh!
00:41:51Oh my ankle!
00:41:52I twisted it!
00:42:13It hurts!
00:42:14Oh!
00:42:15Oh, Alex, put the ointment on it like you used to.
00:42:31I haven't forgotten how sweet you are.
00:42:33I'll take care of it.
00:42:34I'll take care of it.
00:42:39Ow, ow, ow!
00:42:42Myra's acting all weird.
00:42:45Is she finally feeling jealous?
00:42:54Now, Frank, she's totally faking it.
00:42:57Ow! Easy! You're crushing me!
00:43:04Oh, you're fine. But this time, I'm gonna make sure it really hurts.
00:43:09Ow!
00:43:16Ira, where are you going?
00:43:23Ira, you look like you lost your puppy.
00:43:25Alex's ex is back in town.
00:43:30Better keep your eye out.
00:43:32Alex is my husband. I'm not letting anyone take his fortune.
00:43:35Yeah, where a guy's heart goes, the wallet soon follows.
00:43:39Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
00:43:42Got your work cut out for you.
00:43:44Body, she's got your feet.
00:43:46Looks.
00:43:48She's classy, you're comfy.
00:43:50She's got her degree, and you're still learning.
00:43:53Personality... she's sweet.
00:43:57You're... hungry.
00:43:59Don't forget she's Alex's first love.
00:44:01Guys, don't forget that.
00:44:06Well, crap! I guess I don't stand a chance.
00:44:09Well, you got one ace up your sleeve.
00:44:11You were there for him, and helped him through his eating disorder.
00:44:17You were there when he needed you.
00:44:20I've gotta cook something good.
00:44:22There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
00:44:27Poor kid.
00:44:28She's kinda bad, and doesn't even know it.
00:44:32Thinks it's all about the cash.
00:44:37Really? No second chance for me?
00:44:42Gina, I'm taken.
00:44:44Take care.
00:44:45Hi, it's Ira.
00:44:47Sorry I missed your call. Leave a message.
00:44:49Where's Ira?
00:44:51She's dodging my calls.
00:44:53It must be Ira.
00:44:55Time to see if she's jealous.
00:44:56Got it, Alex.
00:44:58I'll be leaving tomorrow.
00:44:59Let's have this drink as a farewell.
00:45:01Cheers to your next chapter.
00:45:05Hm.
00:45:06Thanks.
00:45:08I'll be leaving tomorrow.
00:45:10Let's have this drink as a farewell.
00:45:12Cheers to your next chapter.
00:45:14Hmm.
00:45:16I'm not sure what's going on.
00:45:19I'm not sure what's going on in the next one.
00:45:21You want the movie?
00:45:22Are you alright?
00:45:34Here, let me help you.
00:45:45Oh, Alex.
00:45:47We have so much to...
00:45:52...catch up on after all this time.
00:46:13Alex, you have to try my new dish.
00:46:22Alex, Ira left because she's upset with us.
00:46:28What do you think we should do?
00:46:30Get off.
00:46:32Ira!
00:46:35Alex.
00:46:37Gina, seriously?
00:46:39You drugged my drink.
00:46:41That's low even for you.
00:46:43Alex, no, come on.
00:46:45Get off.
00:46:48You're going to regret this.
00:46:50Steven, the chef's apprentice is out.
00:47:00You're halfway to taking the food court project.
00:47:03Well done, Gina.
00:47:06Alex, remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients?
00:47:11This time, I'm going to wipe the floor with you and show you how wrong you were.
00:47:15We need top quality ingredients for this project, or...
00:47:20I got it.
00:47:21I don't know, you've reminded me of something.
00:47:23Besides the apprentice of Culinary Grower, Alex has got his own head chefs.
00:47:28I'm back.
00:47:29I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
00:47:31Once we snag the food court project, I'll get my share, right?
00:47:36Absolutely.
00:47:37You'll get your cut.
00:47:38Alex, I gave you a chance.
00:47:43This is all on you.
00:47:54She blocked me.
00:47:56What, is she a teenager?
00:47:59Boss?
00:48:00We've got a problem.
00:48:01That stupid Steven's been stealing our chefs left and right.
00:48:04We won't have a head chef for the Food City Project next week,
00:48:07and word is we're heading for bankruptcy.
00:48:09Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
00:48:12Okay.
00:48:13Get on it.
00:48:14Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
00:48:16Hot off the press, KL's group's top chef have flocked over to Steven Snow Group,
00:48:28leaving little doubt about who will win next week's Food City Project.
00:48:33Could this be the beginning of the end for KL Group?
00:48:36Oh, man, Alex is in trouble.
00:48:39So what?
00:48:40He has Gina now, doesn't he?
00:48:42Yeah, I guess.
00:48:44Alex has yesterday's news.
00:48:45I'm going to go cook.
00:48:46Is it really that bad?
00:48:52Are you thinking about helping Alex?
00:48:54No.
00:49:00After the judges voting,
00:49:02the finalists for the Food City Bidding Competition are
00:49:05KL Group and Snow Group.
00:49:11All right, folks, it's time for round two,
00:49:14where we invite our star, Michelin-starred chefs to the plate to create their magnum opuses.
00:49:19Yes, let's get things started with Snow Group.
00:49:22Please, give her a warm welcome, folks.
00:49:31Gina.
00:49:32Didn't expect this, did you, Alex?
00:49:36Gina's been on my side the entire time.
00:49:40All that talk of you two getting back together,
00:49:43just a little trick to separate you from your precious apprentice.
00:49:47Alex, I gave you a chance.
00:49:50When you told everybody that my company uses inferior ingredients,
00:49:57I swore I was going to bring you down.
00:50:00Your character is just like your ingredients,
00:50:03rotten on the inside and out.
00:50:06Keep talking tough, Alex.
00:50:08But where are you now?
00:50:09No, no head chef,
00:50:12no culinary genius.
00:50:14I'm going to snatch that project you've been drooling over.
00:50:17And then, I'm going to watch KL Group crumble.
00:50:23Ladies and gentlemen,
00:50:25now we have the lovely Miss Gina ready to present her dish.
00:50:29KL Group,
00:50:30it's your turn to step up.
00:50:33What's going on?
00:50:34Why is there nobody on Alex's side?
00:50:36It looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
00:50:38Paul, someone out.
00:50:40I want to fall on chef.
00:50:42Paul, I have a little power over here.
00:50:43Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
00:50:45Even if you squeak by the first round,
00:50:47you've got no one for the second.
00:50:53She's got me all wrong,
00:50:55and I don't think she's coming back.
00:50:57This misunderstanding is too deep.
00:51:08Since we have no one from KL Group to compete,
00:51:26I hereby announce that the winner is
00:51:37Snow!
00:51:39Wait a minute!
00:51:43Alex, I'm back.
00:51:45What's the score?
00:51:50We're toast.
00:51:51I thought Gina was your ace.
00:51:53I guess she's not cutting it, huh?
00:51:55It's not like that with her and me.
00:51:57And Gina's representing Stephen in this competition.
00:51:59So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
00:52:02Ira.
00:52:04Nothing happened with her.
00:52:05I will represent the KL Group.
00:52:07I'll take Gina on myself.
00:52:09Aren't we expecting to see
00:52:12Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
00:52:14Are you really in that league?
00:52:16No, I'm not.
00:52:18How can she compete
00:52:19when she doesn't have any credentials,
00:52:21especially against Gina?
00:52:22I mean, she has royal chef status.
00:52:26Royal chef?
00:52:27Never heard of it.
00:52:29I was trained by the culinary guru, though,
00:52:31if that means anything.
00:52:33Look at the culinary guru
00:52:35who hasn't been around for ages.
00:52:37And besides, Gina,
00:52:38she trained with the sea guru, Robert.
00:52:41She said she trained with them?
00:52:42I mean, what?
00:52:44Wait, you're the culinary guru's apprentice?
00:52:50So Stephen stole all of Alex's chefs.
00:52:53Well, I may not be Michelin-starred status,
00:52:56but I have what it takes
00:52:57to represent the KL Group.
00:52:59Why do you think you can represent KL?
00:53:02Because I'm his wife.
00:53:03That's why.
00:53:06Ira, you're a lifesaver.
00:53:08Let's see what you cook up.
00:53:13I'll give it a try,
00:53:14and we'll see who takes the crown.
00:53:17And who are you, old man?
00:53:20What makes you think you're in charge here?
00:53:22He's Alan Ducasse,
00:53:24president of the Dupont Group,
00:53:25the project's big cheese.
00:53:27He's definitely the one with the final say.
00:53:35Sir, this is the dish from Snow Group.
00:53:41Rich and aromatic,
00:53:43like you're basking in a warm Mediterranean sun.
00:53:47I created this with the combined efforts
00:53:50of three top chefs.
00:53:52So good luck beating that, Ira.
00:53:55You may be the culinary guru's apprentice,
00:53:57but that doesn't mean that you can outshine
00:53:59the work of four of us combined.
00:54:01Seriously, you think you can compete
00:54:08with something so simple and rough?
00:54:11This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with?
00:54:15It's so inelegant.
00:54:17You don't understand.
00:54:18A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients
00:54:20will never make the best food.
00:54:24Ira's right.
00:54:25A chef who relies only on spices
00:54:27is a one-trick pony.
00:54:29I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
00:54:42What's up with Alan?
00:54:43Why isn't he saying anything?
00:54:45Do you think the stuff is that bad?
00:54:47It must be terrible.
00:54:48Mr. Alan's in tears.
00:54:50No one asked your opinion.
00:54:52Mr. Alan, how does it taste?
00:54:55My dream, since I was young,
00:54:59was to taste the best food in the world.
00:55:02I never guessed I would do it today.
00:55:05I've waited 30 years for this dish.
00:55:09I declare the KL Group,
00:55:11led by Alex, winner.
00:55:13This isn't fair!
00:55:15I use the best, most expensive ingredients
00:55:17for my dish!
00:55:18How can plain scrambled eggs beat that?
00:55:20If all they care about
00:55:22is chasing fancy and extravagant,
00:55:24that is not what the project needs.
00:55:26Snow Group
00:55:27doesn't cut it.
00:55:29Just wait, Alex.
00:55:30I'm gonna make you pay!
00:55:34Ira, you crushed it!
00:55:36Food City Project is ours.
00:55:37I told you I could do it.
00:55:39Miss Ira,
00:55:40I have to know,
00:55:42what were you thinking
00:55:43while you were whipping those eggs
00:55:45became so delicious?
00:55:47I guess I was just thinking about
00:55:49someone special.
00:55:53Miss Ira,
00:55:55sounds like you, uh,
00:55:57have it for that person.
00:55:58Alex, you promised me a surprise.
00:56:12What is it?
00:56:13Ira,
00:56:14thanks for everything
00:56:15in this competition.
00:56:17This is a family heirloom,
00:56:19meant for Mrs. Thompson.
00:56:22So, Ira,
00:56:23will you be mine
00:56:25forever?
00:56:33Stay forever?
00:56:35That sounds boring.
00:56:37I haven't even explored
00:56:38the world yet.
00:56:39Guess I can't keep
00:56:40the bracelet, huh?
00:56:45Ira,
00:56:45do you not get it
00:56:46or are you just
00:56:47messing with me?
00:56:48Hey, Alex,
00:56:55what's up?
00:56:55You called for me?
00:56:57I have two gifts for you.
00:57:01Here's a card
00:57:02with half my fortune.
00:57:04Take it as a thank you.
00:57:08Alex,
00:57:09you're the best.
00:57:10I love cash.
00:57:11Now I can buy
00:57:11all the ingredients I want
00:57:13and travel anywhere.
00:57:15Ira,
00:57:16I like you.
00:57:16I want to take
00:57:18our relationship
00:57:18to the next level.
00:57:19What do you think?
00:57:20How do you feel about me?
00:57:23Um,
00:57:24you certainly have the money
00:57:26and you let me prove
00:57:27my cooking abilities.
00:57:28You really have made
00:57:29all my dreams come true.
00:57:31Ira,
00:57:32you want out,
00:57:34right?
00:57:35I'll give you the money
00:57:36and the freedom
00:57:37you want.
00:57:40Here's a divorce agreement.
00:57:42Let's end this.
00:57:46Ira,
00:57:53sign this
00:57:54and you're free.
00:57:55I'm leaving the country
00:57:57after it's done.
00:57:58Take care.
00:57:59I just remembered something.
00:58:01What does Alex mean?
00:58:23Why can't I stop
00:58:24thinking about him?
00:58:25Why was I thinking
00:58:31about Alex all night?
00:58:33Alex seemed off yesterday.
00:58:36Maybe I should cheer him up
00:58:37when I see him.
00:58:38Oh, crap.
00:58:39I never signed
00:58:40the divorce papers.
00:58:41How do I bring that up?
00:58:47Where's Alex?
00:58:48It feels weird
00:58:49not seeing him around.
00:58:50Grandma,
00:58:54where's Alex?
00:58:55Oh, Alex,
00:58:56he's at the airport
00:58:57about to jet off.
00:58:59Congrats, honey.
00:59:00You'll finally be free.
00:59:02No more Alex
00:59:03to nag you.
00:59:04What?
00:59:13Boss,
00:59:13the plane is boarding.
00:59:15It looks like she's not coming.
00:59:16Attention, please.
00:59:17She didn't even bother
00:59:18to show up.
00:59:18like I can.
00:59:24Vaughn,
00:59:24let's go home.
00:59:29Alex!
00:59:34I can't stand
00:59:35the thought
00:59:36of losing you.
00:59:39Ira,
00:59:40if I stay,
00:59:41you'll end up leaving.
00:59:42You want your freedom,
00:59:43and you don't love me.
00:59:45I can't be selfish
00:59:46and keep you trapped
00:59:47in this marriage.
00:59:47I don't want you to leave.
00:59:50Why not?
00:59:51Because,
00:59:51because when I'm not with you,
00:59:56you're all I think about.
00:59:58Alex,
00:59:58you asked me how I felt,
01:00:00and I finally know.
01:00:03I love you.
01:00:08Ira,
01:00:09I love you, too.
01:00:13I love you.
01:00:24I'm not finding this.
01:00:25That's not real.
01:00:26It doesn't matter.
01:00:28Huh?
01:00:28No, Frank, she's totally faking it.
01:00:52Ow, easy!
01:00:54You're crushing me!
01:00:55Oh, you're fine.
01:00:56But this time, I'm going to make sure it really hurts.
01:01:07Ira, where are you going?
01:01:14Ira, you look like you lost your puppy.
01:01:16Alex's ex is back in town.
01:01:21Better keep your eye out.
01:01:23Alex is my husband.
01:01:24I'm not letting anyone take his fortune.
01:01:26Yeah, where a guy's heart goes, the wallet soon follows.
01:01:30Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
01:01:33Got your work cut out for you.
01:01:35Body, she's got your feet.
01:01:37Looks, she's classy.
01:01:39You're comfy.
01:01:41She's got her degree, and you're still learning.
01:01:45Personality, she's sweet.
01:01:47You're hungry.
01:01:50And don't forget, she's Alex's first love.
01:01:52Guys, don't forget that.
01:01:57Well, crap.
01:01:58I guess I don't stand a chance.
01:02:00Well, you got one ace up your sleeve.
01:02:03You were there for him, and helped him through his eating disorder.
01:02:07You were there when he needed you.
01:02:11I've got to cook something good.
01:02:13There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
01:02:19Poor kid.
01:02:20She's got it bad, and doesn't even know it.
01:02:23Thinks it's all about the cash.
01:02:25Really, no second chance for me.
01:02:32Gina, I'm taken.
01:02:35Take care.
01:02:44Hi, it's Ira.
01:02:46Sorry I missed your call.
01:02:47Leave a message.
01:02:48Where's Ira?
01:02:51She's dodging my calls.
01:02:52That must be Ira.
01:02:56Time to see if she's jealous.
01:03:03Got it, Alex.
01:03:04I'll be leaving tomorrow.
01:03:06Let's have this drink as a farewell.
01:03:08Cheers to your next chapter.
01:03:14Hm.
01:03:22Are you all right?
01:03:25Here, let me help you.
01:03:36Oh, Alex.
01:03:37We have so much to catch up on after all this time.
01:03:42Alex, you have to try my new dish.
01:03:44Alex, Ira left because she's upset with us.
01:03:57What do you think we should do?
01:03:59Get off.
01:04:01Ira!
01:04:04Alex.
01:04:06Gina, seriously?
01:04:07You drugged my drink.
01:04:09That's low, even for you.
01:04:11Alex, no.
01:04:12Come on.
01:04:14Get off.
01:04:17You're going to regret this.
01:04:25Steven, the chef's apprentice is out.
01:04:28You're halfway to taking the food court project.
01:04:32Well done, Gina.
01:04:34Alex, remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients?
01:04:39This time, I'm going to wipe the floor with you and show you how wrong you were.
01:04:44We need top quality ingredients for this project, or-
01:04:48I got it.
01:04:49Uh-oh, you've reminded me of something.
01:04:51Besides the apprentice of Culinary Gruber, Alex has got his own head chefs.
01:04:56I'm going back.
01:04:57I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
01:04:59Once we snag the food court project, I'll get my share, right?
01:05:04Absolutely.
01:05:06I'll get you good.
01:05:09Alex, I gave you a chance.
01:05:11This is all on you.
01:05:23She blocked me.
01:05:25What, is she a teenager?
01:05:27Boss, we've got a problem.
01:05:30That stupid Steven's been stealing our chefs left and right.
01:05:33We won't have a head chef for the Food City Project next week,
01:05:35and word is we're heading for bankruptcy.
01:05:37Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
01:05:41Okay.
01:05:42Get on it.
01:05:43Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
01:05:45Hot off the press, KL's group's top chef have flocked over to Steven Snow Group,
01:05:57leaving little doubt about who will win next week's Food City Project.
01:06:02Could this be the beginning of the end for KL Group?
01:06:04Oh, man, Alex is in trouble.
01:06:07So what?
01:06:08He has Gina now, doesn't he?
01:06:11Yeah, I guess.
01:06:12Alex is yesterday's news.
01:06:14I'm gonna go cook.
01:06:15Is it really that bad?
01:06:21Are you thinking about helping Alex?
01:06:22No.
01:06:28After the judges voting, the finalists for the Food City Bidding Competition are KL Group and Snow Group.
01:06:37All right, folks, it's time for round two,
01:06:43where we invite our star, Michelin-starred chefs to the plate to create their magnum opuses.
01:06:48Let's get things started with Snow Group.
01:06:50Please, give her a warm welcome, folks.
01:07:00Gina.
01:07:03Didn't expect this, did you, Alex?
01:07:07Gina's been on my side the entire time.
01:07:09All that talk of you two getting back together,
01:07:11just a little trick to separate you from your precious apprentice.
01:07:16Alex, I gave you a chance.
01:07:21When you told everybody that my company uses inferior ingredients,
01:07:26I swore I was going to bring you down.
01:07:29Your character is just like your ingredients,
01:07:32rotten on the inside and out.
01:07:35Keep talking tough, Alex.
01:07:37But where are you now?
01:07:39No head chef.
01:07:40No culinary genius.
01:07:42I'm going to snatch that project you've been drooling over.
01:07:46And then I'm going to watch KL Group crumble.
01:07:52Ladies and gentlemen,
01:07:53now we have the lovely Miss Gina ready to present her dish.
01:07:58KL Group,
01:07:59it's your turn to step up.
01:08:01What's going on?
01:08:03Why is there nobody on Alex's side?
01:08:05Yeah, it looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
01:08:07Officer, now,
01:08:08I don't have a fucking chef.
01:08:10I don't have a little arrow here.
01:08:12Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
01:08:14Even if you squeak by the first round,
01:08:16you've got no one for the second.
01:08:17You've got no one for the second.
01:08:19She's got me all wrong,
01:08:23and I don't think she's coming back.
01:08:25This misunderstanding is too deep.
01:08:28Since we have no one from KL Group to compete,
01:08:31I hereby announce that the winner is
01:08:34Snow!
01:08:35Wait a minute!
01:08:39Alex, I'm back.
01:08:41What's the score?
01:08:46We're toast.
01:08:47I thought Gina was your ace.
01:08:49I guess she's not cutting it, huh?
01:08:51It's not like that with her and me.
01:08:53And Gina's representing Stephen in this competition.
01:08:55So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
01:08:58Ira,
01:08:59nothing happened with her.
01:09:01I will represent the KL Group.
01:09:03I'll take Gina on myself.
01:09:06Aren't we expecting to see
01:09:08Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
01:09:10Are you really in that league?
01:09:12No, I'm not.
01:09:13How can she compete
01:09:15when she doesn't have any credentials,
01:09:17especially against Gina?
01:09:18I mean,
01:09:19she has royal chef status.
01:09:22Royal chef?
01:09:23Never heard of it.
01:09:25I was trained by the culinary guru, though,
01:09:26if that means anything.
01:09:29But the culinary guru hasn't been around for ages.
01:09:33And besides,
01:09:34Gina,
01:09:34she trained with the sea guru Robert.
01:09:37She said she trained with them?
01:09:38I mean, what?
01:09:40Wait,
01:09:41you're the culinary guru's apprentice?
01:09:46So Stephen stole all of Alex's chefs.
01:09:49Well,
01:09:50I may not be Michelin-starred status,
01:09:52but
01:09:52I have what it takes to represent the KL Group.
01:09:55Why do you think you can represent KL?
01:09:58Because I'm his wife.
01:09:59That's why.
01:10:02Ira,
01:10:02you're a lifesaver.
01:10:03Let's see what you cook up.
01:10:07I'll give it a try,
01:10:10and we'll see who takes the crown.
01:10:13And who are you,
01:10:14old man?
01:10:16What makes you think you're in charge here?
01:10:18He's Alan Ducasse,
01:10:20president of the DuPont Group,
01:10:21the project's big cheese.
01:10:23Oh,
01:10:27he's definitely the one with the final say.
01:10:31Sir,
01:10:32this is the dish from Snow Group.
01:10:37Rich and aromatic,
01:10:39like you're basking in a warm Mediterranean sun.
01:10:43I created this with the combined efforts of three top chefs.
01:10:49So good luck beating that,
01:10:50Ira.
01:10:51You may be the culinary guru's apprentice,
01:10:53but that doesn't mean that you can outshine the work of four of us combined.
01:11:02Seriously,
01:11:03you think you could compete with something so simple and rough?
01:11:07This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with?
01:11:11It's so inelegant.
01:11:12You don't understand.
01:11:14A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients will never make the best food.
01:11:20Ira's right.
01:11:21A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
01:11:25I'd rather just drink my protein shake.
01:11:38What's up with Alan?
01:11:39Why isn't he saying anything?
01:11:40Do you think the stuff is that bad?
01:11:43It must be terrible.
01:11:45Mr. Allen's in tears.
01:11:47No one asked your opinion.
01:11:48Mr. Allen,
01:11:49how does it taste?
01:11:50My dream since I was young was to taste the best food in the world.
01:11:58I never guessed I would do it today.
01:12:01I've waited 30 years for this dish.
01:12:04I declare the KL group, led by Alex, winner.
01:12:08This isn't fair.
01:12:10I used the best, most expensive ingredients for my dish.
01:12:13How can plain scrambled eggs beat that?
01:12:16If all they care about is chasing fancy and extravagant, that is not what the project needs.
01:12:21Snow group doesn't cut it.
01:12:24Just wait, Alex.
01:12:26I'm gonna make you pay!
01:12:29Ira, you crushed it.
01:12:31Food City project is ours.
01:12:33I told you I could do it.
01:12:34Ms. Ira, I have to know, what were you thinking while you were whipping those eggs that became so delicious?
01:12:43I guess I was just thinking about someone special.
01:12:49Ms. Ira, sounds like you have it for that person.
01:12:54Alex, you promised me a surprise.
01:13:06What is it?
01:13:08Ira, thanks for everything in this competition.
01:13:12This is a family heirloom meant for Mrs. Thompson.
01:13:17So Ira, will you be mine forever?
01:13:24Stay forever?
01:13:30That sounds boring.
01:13:32I haven't even explored the world yet.
01:13:34I guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
01:13:36Ira, do you not get it or are you just messing with me?
01:13:44Hey, Alex, what's up?
01:13:51You called for me?
01:13:51I have two gifts for you.
01:13:56Here is a card with half my fortune.
01:13:59Take it as a thank you.
01:14:00Alex, you're the best.
01:14:05I love cash.
01:14:06Now I can buy all the ingredients I want and travel anywhere.
01:14:09Ira, I like you.
01:14:12I want to take our relationship to the next level.
01:14:14What do you think, how do you feel about me?
01:14:18Um, you certainly have the money and you let me prove my cooking abilities.
01:14:23You really have made all my dreams come true.
01:14:26Alright.
01:14:27You want out, right?
01:14:29I'll give you the money and the freedom you want.
01:14:33Here's a divorce agreement.
01:14:38Let's end this.
01:14:47Ira, sign this and you're free.
01:14:51I'm leaving the country after it's done.
01:14:54Take care.
01:14:55I just remembered something.
01:15:11What does Alex mean?
01:15:14Why can't I stop thinking about him?
01:15:25Why was I thinking about Alex all night?
01:15:29Alex seemed off yesterday.
01:15:32Maybe I should cheer him up when I see him.
01:15:34Oh crap, I never signed the divorce papers.
01:15:37How do I bring that up?
01:15:43Where's Alex?
01:15:44It feels weird not seeing him around.
01:15:46Hey.
01:15:47Grandma?
01:15:48Where's Alex?
01:15:49Oh Alex, he's at the airport.
01:15:52About to jet off.
01:15:54Congrats, honey.
01:15:56You'll finally be free.
01:15:57No more Alex to nag you.
01:16:00What?
01:16:09Boss, the plane is boarding.
01:16:10It looks like she's not coming.
01:16:13She didn't even bother to show up.
01:16:17Like I can.
01:16:19Vaughn, let's go home.
01:16:24Alex!
01:16:25I can't stand the thought of losing you.
01:16:31Ira, if I stay, you'll end up leaving.
01:16:37You want your freedom and you don't love me.
01:16:39I can't be selfish in keeping trapped in this marriage.
01:16:43I don't want you to leave.
01:16:45Why not?
01:16:46Because...
01:16:47Because when I'm not with you, you're all I think about.
01:16:53Alex, you asked me how I felt and I finally know.
01:16:57I know.
01:16:58I love you.
01:16:59I love you.
01:17:04Ira.
01:17:08I love you too.
01:17:09I'm not signing this.
01:17:21That's not real.
01:17:22It doesn't matter.
01:17:23Huh?
