00:10:17what a strange guy

00:10:36she's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy
00:10:42I love it
00:10:55damage to me like that
00:10:59Take advantage of me like that.
00:11:04What the heck was that for?
00:11:09Is it too late to apologize?
00:11:11Get out!
00:11:19Are you mad?
00:11:25We have the lost ancient recipe as a prize.
00:11:27It should be enough to lure out the culinary guru.
00:11:30Don't worry, sir.
00:11:32We've reached Blake, the culinary guru's top apprentice.
00:11:35He'll be a judge, and there might be news about the chef soon.
00:11:44Thawne, I made a new dish.
00:11:46Please take it to your boss.
00:11:48But you have to pay me before he eats it.
00:11:51Madam, the boss is busy with the culinary guru competition.
00:11:55He definitely won't be able to eat what you've made.
00:11:57You're still looking for the culinary guru?
00:12:00Boss is tough to heal.
00:12:02Only the culinary guru can help.
00:12:04We're using the lost ancient recipe as the prize for the cook-off to lure him in.
00:12:09The lost ancient recipe?
00:12:10That's a great prize.
00:12:12My mentor will be so happy if I win it.
00:12:14You have a mentor?
00:12:19You have a mentor?
00:12:21Don't worry, Alex.
00:12:22I will cure you and win the cooking competition.
00:12:25You want to participate in the cooking competition?
00:12:28All the top chefs from the nation will be there.
00:12:31You should just forget about it.
00:12:33You'll be crushed.
00:12:34Just let me try.
00:12:35I can do it.
00:12:39Fine.
00:12:40Just don't be too upset if you lose.
00:12:44I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary.
00:12:47Great.
00:12:47I will show you what I can do.
00:12:49Did you hear?
00:12:53The head apprentice of the culinary guru is coming to judge today.
00:12:57Yeah.
00:12:58I just came to catch a glimpse of the legendary head apprentice.
00:13:01I heard Alex is bringing his new wife.
00:13:03I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with.
00:13:09Alex's wife?
00:13:11That girl is just an ugly and unrefined country bumpkin.
00:13:15I can't believe Alex ended up with some broke and ugly chick.
00:13:20Look!
00:13:33I can't believe Ira is so full of herself now.
00:13:43Should I not have called off the engagement before?
00:13:45Oh, don't be fooled by their current glamour.
00:13:49I've heard Alex's condition is worsening.
00:13:52Otherwise, he wouldn't be playing matchmaker for the culinary guru.
00:13:56Alex owns a food empire.
00:13:59If they could find culinary guru and cure him,
00:14:01it would only benefit that hick Ira.
00:14:04No way.
00:14:05I have to win Alex back.
00:14:08What's in those jars?
00:14:11Those are called spices.
00:14:14You're key to making gourmet dishes.
00:14:19You know nothing, country bumpkin.
00:14:22Oh, those are just flashy things.
00:14:24The most important part of real cuisine is to cook with the heart.
00:14:28It's how you bring out the ingredients as natural flavors.
00:14:31Despite her usual, unreliable demeanor,
00:14:34she actually has her own insights about food.
00:14:37You clueless hick.
00:14:39Don't pretend to know anything.
00:14:41There can only be one big winner tonight.
00:14:44And that's me.
00:14:46Ira's right.
00:14:47A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
00:14:50I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
00:14:52Well, hold on.
00:14:53It's not that bad.
00:14:54You deserve to starve, Alex.
00:14:59If you were for the possibility of the culinary guru appearing to cure your illness,
00:15:03I wouldn't even consider taking you back.
00:15:05Master Blake?
00:15:15We all admire you greatly.
00:15:20Master Blake,
00:15:21still no news of the culinary guru?
00:15:23My master's gone into seclusion with the junior apprentice,
00:15:26and I have not been able to find out where he is.
00:15:29Blake!
00:15:30Hi, Ira.
00:15:31Long time no see.
00:15:33What are you doing here?
00:15:34How do you two know each other?
00:15:38Blake, the competition's about to start,
00:15:40and the host is calling for you.
00:15:44Alex, don't worry.
00:15:46I think I'll still find the whereabouts of the culinary guru.
00:15:54Of course I know him.
00:15:55What could happen?
00:16:00People meet every day.
00:16:03Ladies and gentlemen,
00:16:05today's winner will receive an ancient lobster recipe
00:16:08and a VIP fancy pink diamond from the Thompson family.
00:16:14The competition officially begins.
00:16:16There's only one room.
00:16:17Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson to eat their dish
00:16:21wins.
00:16:22I suggest you back down now
00:16:28before you embarrass yourself even more.
00:16:30The pressure won't drive her crazy, right?
00:16:35What's she doing?
00:16:40I need a big pot.
00:16:42Um, sure.
00:16:44No problem.
00:16:45Behind you.
00:16:46Okay.
00:16:52What a unique cooking method.
00:16:57Ira, what are you doing?
00:16:59You're disgracing the Williams family.
00:17:02I've got more tricks up my sleeve, Ira.
00:17:05Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself.
00:17:08Just as I thought.
00:17:19Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe.
00:17:25Can't even handle the basics.
00:17:28Try not to poison the judges with that shit.
00:17:30What's she doing?
00:17:35No seasonings?
00:17:36Hilarious.
00:17:37She's out for sure.
00:17:43Waffle.
00:17:45Trash.
00:17:46This is an assault on my senses.
00:17:47Could there be a twist?
00:17:53Is Alex going to taste it?
00:17:57Up next, Michelin-starred chef Evelyn Williams.
00:18:01Will this dish impress?
00:18:05Alex, you're in for a treat.
00:18:07Alex, this dish seems different.
00:18:17Seems like you're savoring it.
00:18:23Totally flavorless.
00:18:24It's like my taste buds were on a vacation.
00:18:26I'll forget this dish the moment that I'm finished with it.
00:18:29For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
00:18:37Is there no food worthy of a gourmand like me?
00:18:42Looks like his taste buds are as sharp as ever.
00:18:45Anyone willing to try this stew stuff?
00:18:50Chaotic stew.
00:18:51Zero presentation, zero appeal.
00:18:54This dish doesn't even warrant a critique.
00:18:56I really overestimated Ira.
00:19:00Looks like Alex isn't interested in Ira's dish either.
00:19:03Will our gourmand go home empty-handed?
00:19:05You guys don't understand.
00:19:08My stew will be unforgettable after just one bite.
00:19:17Ira, stop.
00:19:19You're an embarrassment to the profession.
00:19:21What's that?
00:19:23This familiar allure.
00:19:25I even want to try this ugly dish.
00:19:28What's happening?
00:19:29Why am I tempted by this ugly food?
00:19:32If I eat this, I may lose my reputation as a foodie.
00:19:37But I really want to try it.
00:20:02I dreamt me for you.
00:20:04I have to try it.
00:20:05I'm scared.
00:20:07I hope I see you again soon.
00:20:08And as a fashion 我mit膏 férifies you.
00:20:08Why are you dressing forhat多 wit?
00:20:10What do you say to me?
00:20:12You need to take this on to the same time?
00:20:12If you had such time, I can do it.
00:20:14Every alect of urine or light on me.
00:20:16I want to stay away with you.
00:20:18I love to try it.
00:20:19I love to be
00:20:20love.
00:20:21I really Ooooh.
00:20:22I love that.
00:20:23So talk about Yoga One well.
00:20:23I try to talk about my body.
00:20:25And every habit around when you WIL,
00:20:27I keep learning superhero.
00:20:27And as I am in,
00:20:28Alex is as picky as a toddler.
00:20:46I'd finally made something he was willing to try, and then he fainted.
00:20:51Alex, you're so thin you could fit under a locked door.
00:20:54You're not looking healthy.
00:20:56Isn't he a handful?
00:20:57Yeah.
00:20:58All right.
00:20:59One more shot.
00:21:01The stew you made at the competition?
00:21:03Stay putt.
00:21:04I'll cure you.
00:21:11What?
00:21:12Where's my seasonings?
00:21:15Easy there, Ira.
00:21:16You can still do it.
00:21:17It will just take a bit more time.
00:21:21No!
00:21:22The boss is painted again!
00:21:23Where's the dish ready?
00:21:26Again?
00:21:26Seriously?
00:21:28One sec.
00:21:31Strange.
00:21:31Hearing that Alex fainted made me cut my finger.
00:21:37It's just a little boo-boo.
00:21:39Who needs the culinary guru?
00:21:41Hang tight, Alex.
00:21:41I brought you the stew.
00:21:52Ira, you're late.
00:21:53Alex had my dish and is back on his feet.
00:21:57Oh, really?
00:21:58The dish that made him faint at the competition?
00:22:00I gotta try it.
00:22:04You did eat my stuff, right?
00:22:06Yeah, thanks for that.
00:22:10Ira, get over here.
00:22:11No.
00:22:12Hey, what happened to your hand?
00:22:14So you do care, Alex?
00:22:16No, it's not like that.
00:22:17Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew.
00:22:20I don't want blood in my food.
00:22:21Forget that old stew.
00:22:23I'll take care of you and I can fix your eating problem.
00:22:26Only food from the culinary guru counts.
00:22:29Everything else is trash.
00:22:30You...
00:22:31Hey, I can pay.
00:22:32I'm not after money.
00:22:35If Alex can eat my food, then I'm the best choice to be his wife.
00:22:40Ditch Ira and let's go marry him.
00:22:44Marrying Alex means all his money is mine.
00:22:47Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex.
00:22:49That fortune is mine.
00:22:51Do you really want to be with someone after your cash?
00:22:55Not your business.
00:22:59Vaughn, give me a band-aid.
00:23:02Alex promised to share his inheritance with me.
00:23:10Do it yourself.
00:23:14Hello?
00:23:15Hello, my dear apprentice.
00:23:17I just got my phone and called you.
00:23:19How are you?
00:23:20I miss you, my dear.
00:23:22I thought I might come for a visit.
00:23:24Awesome.
00:23:25My mentor is coming to visit.
00:23:27Robert, I need backup.
00:23:29I married this rich guy, Alex Thompson,
00:23:31and now my stepsister is after him and his money.
00:23:34What are you talking about?
00:23:36I'm not after money.
00:23:38Ira, is that how you talk about me?
00:23:40Your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole.
00:23:43Why do you care what he thinks?
00:23:44Maybe you should worry about your own problems.
00:23:46Great news.
00:23:51Your appetite issues are about to be fixed.
00:23:54With me taking care of your meals, you'll be fine.
00:23:57Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
00:24:00Actually, it's culinary guru.
00:24:02Really?
00:24:03Where is he?
00:24:04I've contacted Master.
00:24:06He's coming to help you.
00:24:07I need to win Alex over before he arrives.
00:24:14She hung up on me.
00:24:16I tell you, that Ira is getting way out of line.
00:24:19Wait a minute.
00:24:20Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO with the eating disorder
00:24:23that Blake asked me to treat?
00:24:25Oh.
00:24:26Oh, my dear apprentice.
00:24:38I'm on my way.
00:24:41Do you think they can kick me to the curb
00:24:43just because they found a culinary guru?
00:24:49Where'd I ever get this stuff, anyway?
00:24:52It actually got Alex to eat my food.
00:24:53But it's mine now.
00:24:58Once Alex drinks this love potion,
00:25:01he's all mine.
00:25:03Ha ha ha ha!
00:25:10Try my soup while it's still hot.
00:25:15How's it with the culinary guru?
00:25:18Could this seasoning be linked to the culinary guru?
00:25:21It's Ira's shit.
00:25:22That's a stretch.
00:25:24I could get used to it.
00:25:26Since you could finally eat,
00:25:28let me feed you.
00:25:29I got this.
00:25:30Thanks.
00:25:31Come on, don't push me away.
00:25:32What's wrong with you?
00:25:33And why is it so hot in here?
00:25:37Seriously, Evelyn, get off.
00:25:39Feeling warm?
00:25:40Let me help.
00:25:41Alex, something's off with the culinary guru.
00:25:46I'm here.
00:25:47This is how you help?
00:25:55I gotta see this.
00:26:01Get lost.
00:26:10Feeling better already, huh?
00:26:11She calls that help,
00:26:13and you just watched me get groped.
00:26:23My heart.
00:26:25Am I sick too?
00:26:27Alex, you're burning up.
00:26:28Can I help?
00:26:30Yeah, I...
00:26:31I could use your help.
00:26:32Hey, what the hell?
00:26:43Well, you were overheating.
00:26:45You must have a fever.
00:26:46I thought it might cool you down.
00:26:48Did it work?
00:26:49Ira, you were such a dork.
00:26:54Damn it, Ira.
00:26:55You ruined my game.
00:26:57Seriously, you're such an idiot.
00:26:59You too, John.
00:27:00Alex, guess what?
00:27:02I met the culinary guru.
00:27:04He thinks I'm a prodigy
00:27:05and wants to take me on as his apprentice.
00:27:07My master listens to me.
00:27:09I would make the right choice.
00:27:11Are you threatening me?
00:27:13With an apprentice like you,
00:27:15that culinary guru must be a joke.
00:27:17If I don't sweet-talk Alex into marrying me,
00:27:19I'll miss my shot when the culinary guru shows up.
00:27:22Alex, marry me,
00:27:24and I'll make sure the culinary guru cures you.
00:27:26Not a chance.
00:27:27Is Ira finally waking up?
00:27:31Wait.
00:27:32Alex tossed her dish at the competition.
00:27:34What's your secret to getting him to eat it now?
00:27:39The reasoning Alex could eat,
00:27:41that was the one Ira left behind
00:27:43at the culinary guru contest.
00:27:45Could it be?
00:27:46She's his apprentice!
00:27:48Ira, what's your connection to the culinary guru?
00:27:51Why do you keep asking me that?
00:27:53I don't know any culinary guru.
00:27:55So Ira really is the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:27:58She doesn't even realize it.
00:28:00Well, maybe I can put that to use.
00:28:01Alex, how long can you wait?
00:28:04Don't you care about your health?
00:28:06Hands off the inheritance.
00:28:07Who's picking on my apprentice?
00:28:12Is that her mentor?
00:28:14Mentor.
00:28:15This be the culinary guru?
00:28:18Robert, you're here!
00:28:20Great to see you, kid.
00:28:22I've missed you tons.
00:28:23Nice digs you got here, kid.
00:28:29You landed a top to your husband, didn't you?
00:28:32I can't believe you're finally here.
00:28:33I've missed you heaps.
00:28:35The culinary guru is here.
00:28:39Everyone?
00:28:40Me, Chef Robert McFombay.
00:28:42This guy?
00:28:43No way he's the world famous culinary guru.
00:28:45He's as basic as Ira.
00:28:47Ira, bringing in some random grandpa
00:28:50just drags down Alex's reputation.
00:28:52Shut the fuck up, Evelyn.
00:28:55Don't insult my mentor.
00:28:57Let this queen twat yap.
00:29:00This is her only talent.
00:29:02Who are you calling twat?
00:29:04Old coon?
00:29:06I am the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:29:10One phone call and I'll snuff you both out.
00:29:12The culinary guru's apprentice?
00:29:16Funny.
00:29:17Never heard of you.
00:29:18Please, people like you
00:29:24from the middle of nowhere
00:29:25wouldn't know a celebrity
00:29:26if you sat down right in front of you.
00:29:28Enough, Evelyn.
00:29:30Apologize to my mentor.
00:29:32What's so funny, old coot?
00:29:35You say you're the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:29:37Why not prove it
00:29:40with a cook-off
00:29:42with my apprentice?
00:29:44I just won
00:29:46the culinary championship.
00:29:48Why would I be scared of you, Ira?
00:29:50Last time you already lost.
00:29:52I was out last time,
00:29:54so that doesn't prove
00:29:55that Ira lost to you.
00:29:57Evelyn,
00:29:58I'm tired of your attitude.
00:30:00Threatening Alex with your cooking?
00:30:02Let's just see who says
00:30:03she actually wants a taste.
00:30:04Ira, get real.
00:30:05If Alex could stomach your food,
00:30:08he would have by now.
00:30:10We'll see.
00:30:18With my secret sauce,
00:30:20let's see you stand a chance, Ira.
00:30:23Now why does she have
00:30:24my special blend in her hand?
00:30:30Oh no!
00:30:31Your fish, it's burning!
00:30:32What?
00:30:32What?
00:30:35You sly old man!
00:30:41Learn from me
00:30:41and you might succeed.
00:30:43Copy me
00:30:43and you're going down.
00:30:45Let's see you beat Ira now
00:30:46without my special blend.
00:30:51Alex will love
00:30:52this little kid food.
00:30:54Burn, baby, burn.
00:30:58All set,
00:30:59just need my turkey.
00:31:00What the hell?
00:31:07Burn?
00:31:08No time to fix this now.
00:31:30cause I didn't even finish a dish,
00:31:35man..
00:31:44I hope you've made a good day for this...
00:31:46I'll go try this one joke.
00:31:49I'll go to the monster stage...
00:31:51What?
00:31:52She's impossible,
00:31:52I want toわ...
00:31:54but if I am,
00:31:55I didn't even finish a dish.
00:31:57I didn't even finish a dish and she's still talking big.
00:32:01Face it, Alex, she's all talk.
00:32:04Not marriage material.
00:32:06Who says I didn't finish?
00:32:08Just...
00:32:09What?
00:32:10Just hold your horses.
00:32:12Stop stalling, Ira.
00:32:14You missed the deadline.
00:32:16You lose.
00:32:17I'm the one who deserves that ring.
00:32:20Alex, you're not actually buying this, right?
00:32:23Ira, when did I ever say...
00:32:25Just...
00:32:26Alex, just try this.
00:32:28When I win, Ira's out.
00:32:30And the title's mine for good.
00:32:31Go on, Alex, dig in.
00:32:33Let's hear the verdict.
00:32:44Hey, you good, boss?
00:32:47That is the worst slap I have ever tasted.
00:32:51What the hell?!
00:32:53What did you put in that?!
00:32:55It's triggering his eating disorder!
00:32:57Impossible!
00:32:58My spices are perfect!
00:33:00Someone must have messed with them.
00:33:02Evelyn, really?
00:33:03You're calling this yours?
00:33:06That's mine.
00:33:07I couldn't find it at the competition.
00:33:09So you take it.
00:33:14This is ours.
00:33:15You're a thief.
00:33:16You're a thief.
00:33:17No, no!
00:33:18Alex, you have to believe me.
00:33:19Vaughn, kick her out!
00:33:21Alex, just give me one more shot!
00:33:23I can whip up something amazing!
00:33:25Get lost!
00:33:27This can't be happening!
00:33:35Get that away from me.
00:33:36I can't even handle a protein shake right now.
00:33:4325 Oak Street.
00:33:44Yes, we have an emergency.
00:33:45Chronic eating disorder.
00:33:47Yes, we need help right away!
00:33:49Hang tight.
00:33:50My dish is almost done.
00:33:52Guess I'm doomed to starve as a foodie.
00:33:55Only the culinary guru gets me.
00:33:57So if the culinary guru doesn't show,
00:34:00you're off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
00:34:07You know, Irish cooking has totally surpassed mine.
00:34:09You gotta try it.
00:34:10It's a flavor journey, man.
00:34:12I can't trust anyone anymore.
00:34:14Eating garbage every day.
00:34:17Just take me now.
00:34:22Alex, since you wanted a divorce,
00:34:24shall we figure out what happens next?
00:34:26Who talked about a divorce?
00:34:28How about my last legs here?
00:34:29Couldn't you at least comfort me?
00:34:31Weird.
00:34:33I kinda don't like seeing Alex like this.
00:34:37What's that noise?
00:34:40No need for the hospital.
00:34:42My roast chicken is ready.
00:34:53Here, Alex. Chow down.
00:34:56I guess your fortune is mine.
00:34:58Forget about him, Myra.
00:34:59Let's dig in.
00:35:02Man, that smells amazing.
00:35:05Try a piece.
00:35:08Bucker.
00:35:09It's so sad my boss can't eat anything.
00:35:11I can't eat anything.
00:35:18Boss!
00:35:19It's the best food ever!
00:35:20You really gotta try some.
00:35:21Please!
00:35:22Told ya.
00:35:24Iris got skills.
00:35:25You can talk all you want.
00:35:26This world's food has burned it too many times.
00:35:28I've told Alex my cooking could cure him.
00:35:32Do all husbands not trust their wives?
00:35:34Maybe I just need a normal guy.
00:35:36Well, what are you after?
00:35:37Pretty boy?
00:35:38A handsome guy?
00:35:40I've got connections.
00:35:43Oh.
00:35:44Well, look who the cat dragged in.
00:35:48How was Heaven treating you?
00:35:49Fine.
00:35:55One more shot.
00:35:58But remember, I'm a food critic.
00:36:00I'll be keeping it real.
00:36:01No sugar coming.
00:36:05If you want some, help yourself.
00:36:08What are you waiting for, a butler?
00:36:09What?!
00:36:10Ira's cooking is even better than The Culinary Guru.
00:36:14Boss is eating!
00:36:15I've gotta tell Lady Linda!
00:36:17Ira, what is your connection to The Culinary Guru?
00:36:19Why do you keep asking that?
00:36:20I don't know a culinary guru.
00:36:21He's probably just a scammer.
00:36:22Get over it already.
00:36:23What?!
00:36:24Ira's cooking is even better than The Culinary Guru.
00:36:25What?!
00:36:27Ira's cooking is even better than The Culinary Guru.
00:36:31Boss is eating!
00:36:32I've gotta tell Lady Linda!
00:36:34Ira, what is your connection to The Culinary Guru?
00:36:39Why do you keep asking that?
00:36:40I don't know a culinary guru.
00:36:42He's probably just a scammer.
00:36:49Get over it already.
00:36:50But that box you made was just like The Culinary Guru.
00:36:55And your dish, Ira, even I, a top critic.
00:36:58I gotta admit, it's legit.
00:37:01Oh, well, Robert made that one.
00:37:08Yeah, uh, sorry, I forgot to say.
00:37:12I'm the one everyone's been talking about.
00:37:14I'm The Culinary Guru.
00:37:20What?!
00:37:21And Ira here, my apprentice, is already better than I am.
00:37:31Why didn't you tell us sooner?
00:37:33Alex 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, you had me believing that my cooking needed some serious work.
00:37:46So you've just been cooking for me to test your skills, huh?
00:37:51Boss! You're eating again!
00:37:53We're in the clear for the food court project!
00:37:55Alex, I whipped up a new dish. You gotta try it.
00:37:56Another review session? As your test subject.
00:37:57You know, I have my pride too.
00:37:58Why are you acting so serious?
00:37:59What's this mess?
00:38:00You know, I'm a bit of a neat freak.
00:38:01So, other than cooking, do you have any big dreams?
00:38:02I sure do!
00:38:03Oh!
00:38:04Oh!
00:38:05Oh!
00:38:06Oh!
00:38:07Oh!

00:44:13You were there when he needed you.
00:44:16I've got to cook something good. There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
00:44:23Poor kid.
00:44:25She's got it bad and doesn't even know it.
00:44:28Thinks it's all about the cash.
00:44:29Really? No second chance for me.
00:44:34Gina, I'm taken. Take care.
00:44:38Hi, it's Ira. Sorry I missed your call. Leave a message.
00:44:40Where's Ira?
00:44:41I was just dodging my calls.
00:44:42It must be Ira.
00:44:43Time to see if she's jealous.
00:44:44Got it, Alex.
00:44:45I'll be leaving tomorrow. Let's have this drink as a farewell.
00:44:46Cheers, Charlie.

00:45:44Alex, you have to try my new dish.
00:46:10Alex, Ira left because she's upset with us.
00:46:23What do you think we should do?
00:46:25Get off.
00:46:27Ira!
00:46:30Alex.
00:46:32Gina, seriously?
00:46:34You drugged my drink.
00:46:35That's low, even for you.
00:46:38Alex, no. Come on.
00:46:40Get off.
00:46:43You're gonna regret this.
00:46:52Steven, the chef's apprentice is out.
00:46:55You're halfway to taking the food court project.
00:46:58Well done, Gina.
00:47:01Alex, remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients?
00:47:06This time, I'm gonna wipe the floor with you and show you how wrong you were.
00:47:10We need top quality ingredients for this project, or...
00:47:14I got it.
00:47:16I don't know, you've reminded me of something.
00:47:18Besides the apprentice of Culinary Grower, Alex has got his own head chefs.
00:47:23I'm going back.
00:47:24I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
00:47:26Once we snag the food court project, I'll get my share, right?
00:47:31Absolutely.
00:47:32You'll get your cut.
00:47:33Alex, I gave you a chance.
00:47:38This is all on you.
00:47:49She blocked me.
00:47:51Was she a teenager?
00:47:54Boss?
00:47:55We've got a problem.
00:47:57That stupid Steven's been stealing our chefs left and right.
00:47:59We won't have a head chef for the Food City Project next week,
00:48:01and where it is, we're heading for bankruptcy.
00:48:04Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
00:48:07Okay.
00:48:08Get on it.
00:48:09Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
00:48:17Hot off the press,
00:48:19KL's group's top chef have flocked over to Steven Snow Group,
00:48:23leaving little doubt about who will win next week's Food City Project.
00:48:28Could this be the beginning of the end for KL Group?
00:48:30Oh, man, Alex is in trouble.
00:48:34So what?
00:48:35He has Gina now, doesn't he?
00:48:37Yeah, I guess.
00:48:39Alex has yesterday's news.
00:48:40I'm gonna go cook.
00:48:41Is it really that bad?
00:48:47Do you think about helping Alex?
00:48:49No.
00:48:49No.
00:48:55After the judges voting,
00:48:57the finalists for the Food City Bidding Competition are
00:49:00KL Group and
00:49:01Snow Group.
00:49:03All right, folks,
00:49:07it's time for round two,
00:49:09where we invite our star,
00:49:10Michelin-starred chefs to the plate
00:49:12to create their magnum opuses.
00:49:14Let's get things started with Snow Group.
00:49:17Please,
00:49:18give her a warm welcome, folks.
00:49:19applause
00:49:22Gina.
00:49:27Gina.
00:49:29Didn't expect this, did you, Alex?
00:49:33Gina's been on my side the entire time.
00:49:35All that talk of you two getting back together,
00:49:38just a little trick to separate you from your precious apprentice.
00:49:43Alex,
00:49:43I gave you a chance.
00:49:48When you told everybody that my company uses inferior ingredients,
00:49:52I swore I was going to bring you down.
00:49:55Your character is just like your ingredients,
00:49:58rotten on the inside and out.
00:50:01Keep talking tough, Alex.
00:50:03But where are you now?
00:50:05No head chef,
00:50:07no culinary genius.
00:50:09I'm going to snatch that project you've been drooling over.
00:50:12And then?
00:50:13I'm going to watch Kale Group crumble.
00:50:18Ladies and gentlemen,
00:50:20now we have the lovely Miss Gina
00:50:22ready to present her dish.
00:50:24Kale Group,
00:50:25it's your turn to step up.
00:50:28What's going on?
00:50:29Why is there nobody on Alex's side?
00:50:31It looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
00:50:33Oh, it's right now.
00:50:34I'm going to fall on chef.
00:50:37Oh, there's a little arrow right here.
00:50:38Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
00:50:40Even if you squeak by the first round,
00:50:42you've got no one for the second.
00:50:48She's got me all wrong,
00:50:50and I don't think she's coming back.
00:50:52This misunderstanding is too deep.
00:51:12Since we have no one from Kale Group to compete,
00:51:30I hereby announce that the winner is Snow!
00:51:34Wait a minute!
00:51:38Alex, I'm back.
00:51:39What's the score?
00:51:45We're toast.
00:51:46I thought Gina was your ace.
00:51:48I guess she's not cutting it, huh?
00:51:50It's not like that with her and me.
00:51:52And Gina's representing Stephen in this competition.
00:51:54So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
00:51:57Ira,
00:51:58nothing happened with her.
00:52:00I will represent the Kale Group.
00:52:02I'll take Gina on myself.
00:52:05Aren't we expecting to see Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
00:52:09Are you really in that league?
00:52:11No, I'm not.
00:52:12How can she compete when she doesn't have any credentials,
00:52:15especially against Gina?
00:52:17I mean, she has royal chef status.
00:52:21Royal chef?
00:52:22Never heard of it.
00:52:24I was trained by the culinary guru, though, if that means anything.
00:52:28But the culinary guru hasn't been around for ages.
00:52:32And besides, Gina, she trained with the sea guru Robert.
00:52:36She said she's trained with them?
00:52:37I mean, what?
00:52:39Wait.
00:52:40You're the culinary guru's apprentice?
00:52:45So Stephen stole all of Alex's chefs.
00:52:48Well, I may not be Michelin-starred status,
00:52:51but I have what it takes to represent the Kale Group.
00:52:54Why do you think you can represent Kale?
00:52:57Because I'm his wife.
00:52:58That's why.
00:53:01Ira, you're a lifesaver.
00:53:02Let's see what you cook up.
00:53:08I'll give it a try, and we'll see who takes the crown.
00:53:12And who are you, old man?
00:53:15What makes you think you're in charge here?
00:53:17He's Alan Ducasse, president of the Dupont Group.
00:53:20The project's big cheese.
00:53:25He's definitely the one with the final say.
00:53:27Sir, this is the dish from Snow Group.
00:53:36Rich and aromatic.
00:53:38Like you're basking in a warm Mediterranean sun.
00:53:43I created this with the combined efforts of three top chefs.
00:53:47So good luck beating that, Ira.
00:53:50You may be the culinary guru's apprentice,
00:53:52but that doesn't mean that you can outshine the work of four of us combined.
00:54:00Seriously, you think you can compete with something so simple and rough?
00:54:06This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with?
00:54:10It's so inelegant.
00:54:11You don't understand.
00:54:13A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients will never make the best food.
00:54:16Ira's right.
00:54:20A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
00:54:24I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
00:54:37What's up with Alan?
00:54:38Why isn't he saying anything?
00:54:40Do you think the stuff is that bad?
00:54:42It must be terrible.
00:54:43Mr. Alan's in tears.
00:54:45No one asked your opinion.
00:54:47Mr. Alan, how does it taste?
00:54:52My dream since I was young was to taste the best food in the world.
00:54:57I never guessed I would do it today.
00:55:00I've waited 30 years for this dish.
00:55:04I declare the KL Group, led by Alex, winner.
00:55:08This isn't fair!
00:55:10I use the best, most expensive ingredients for my dish.
00:55:13How can plain scrambled eggs beat that?
00:55:15If all they care about is chasing fancy and extravagant, that is not what the project needs.
00:55:21Snow Group doesn't cut it.
00:55:24Just wait, Alex.
00:55:25I'm going to make you pay!
00:55:26Miss Ira, you crushed it!
00:55:30Food City Project is ours.
00:55:32I told you I could do it.
00:55:34Miss Ira, I have to know, what were you thinking while you were whipping those eggs that became so delicious?
00:55:42I guess I was just thinking about someone special.
00:55:48Miss Ira, sounds like you have it for that person.
00:55:53Miss Ira, thanks for everything in this competition.
00:56:12This is a family heirloom meant for Mrs. Thompson.
00:56:17So Ira, will you be mine forever?
00:56:21Stay forever?
00:56:30That sounds boring.
00:56:32I haven't even explored the world yet.
00:56:34Guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
00:56:40Ira, do you not get it?
00:56:41Or are you just messing with me?
00:56:43Hey, Alex, what's up?
00:56:50You called for me?
00:56:52I have two gifts for you.
00:56:56Here's a card with half my fortune.
00:56:59Take it as a thank you.
00:57:03Alex, you're the best.
00:57:04I love cash.
00:57:06Now I can buy all the ingredients I want and travel anywhere.
00:57:08Ira, I like you.
00:57:12I want to take our relationship to the next level.
00:57:14What do you think?
00:57:15How do you feel about me?
00:57:18Um, you certainly have the money and you let me prove my cooking abilities.
00:57:23You really have made all my dreams come true.
00:57:26Ira, you want out, right?
00:57:30I'll give you the money and the freedom you want.
00:57:32Here's a divorce agreement.
00:57:37Let's end this.
00:57:47Ira, sign this and you're free.
00:57:50I'm leaving the country after it's done.
00:57:53Take care.
00:57:54I just remembered something.
00:58:02What does Alex mean?
00:58:18Why can't I stop thinking about him?
00:58:25Why was I thinking about Alex all night?
00:58:28Alex seemed off yesterday.
00:58:30Maybe I should cheer him up when I see him.
00:58:33Oh, crap.
00:58:34I never signed the divorce papers.
00:58:36How do I bring that up?
00:58:42Where's Alex?
00:58:43It feels weird not seeing him around.
00:58:48Okay.
00:58:48Grandma, where's Alex?
00:58:50Oh, Alex, he's at the airport.
00:58:52About to jet off.
00:58:54Congrats, honey.
00:58:55You'll finally be free.
00:58:57No more Alex to nag you.
00:58:59What?
00:59:08Boss, the plane is boarding.
00:59:10It looks like she's not coming.
00:59:12She didn't even bother to show up.
00:59:16Like I can.
00:59:18Vaughn, let's go home.
00:59:24Alex!
00:59:24I can't stand the thought of losing you.
00:59:34Ira, if I stay, you'll end up leaving.
00:59:37You want your freedom and you don't love me.
00:59:40I can't be selfish and keep you trapped in this marriage.
00:59:43I don't want you to leave.
00:59:44Why not?
00:59:45Because...
00:59:46Because when I'm not with you, you're all I think about.
00:59:52Alex, you asked me how I felt and I finally know.
00:59:57I love you.
01:00:03Ira.
01:00:04I love you.
01:00:08I'm not finding this.
01:00:20That's not real.
01:00:21It doesn't matter.
01:00:22Huh?
01:00:23No, Frank.
01:00:40She's totally faking it.
01:00:42Oh, easy.
01:00:49You're crushing me.
01:00:50Oh, you're fine.
01:00:51But this time, I'm going to make sure it really hurts.
01:00:56Oh!
01:00:56Oh!
01:01:02Ira, where are you going?
01:01:09Ira, you look like you lost your puppy.
01:01:11Alex's ex is back in town.
01:01:16Better keep your eye out.
01:01:18Alex is my husband.
01:01:19I'm not letting anyone take his fortune.
01:01:21Yeah, where a guy's heart goes, the wallet soon follows.
01:01:25Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
01:01:28Got your work cut out for you.
01:01:30Body, she's got your beard.
01:01:32Looks.
01:01:33She's classy.
01:01:34You're comfy.
01:01:35She's got her degree and you're still learning.
01:01:39Personality, she's sweet.
01:01:42You're hungry.
01:01:45Don't forget she's Alex's first love.
01:01:47Guys, don't forget that.
01:01:52Well, crap.
01:01:53I guess I don't stand a chance.
01:01:55Well, you got one ace up your sleeve.
01:01:58You were there for him and helped him through his eating disorder.
01:02:02You were there when he needed you.
01:02:06I've got to cook something good.
01:02:08There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
01:02:13Poor kid.
01:02:15She's got it bad and doesn't even know it.
01:02:18Thinks it's all about the cash.
01:02:20Really, no second chance for me.
01:02:27Gina, I'm taken.
01:02:30Take care.
01:02:39Hi, it's Ira.
01:02:41Sorry I missed your call.
01:02:42Leave a message.
01:02:43Where's Ira?
01:02:46It's just dodging my calls.
01:02:47That must be Ira.
01:02:51Time to see if she's jealous.
01:02:58Got it, Alex.
01:02:59I'll be leaving tomorrow.
01:03:01Let's have this drink as a farewell.
01:03:03Cheers to your next chapter.
01:03:09Hmm.
01:03:17Are you all right?
01:03:19Here, let me help you.
01:03:30Oh, Alex.
01:03:32We have so much to catch up on after all this time.
01:03:37Alex, you have to try my new dish.
01:03:39Alex, Ira left because she's upset with us.
01:03:52What do you think we should do?
01:03:54Get off.
01:03:56Ira!
01:03:59Alex.
01:04:01Gina, seriously?
01:04:02You drugged my drink.
01:04:04That's low even for you.
01:04:06Alex, no.
01:04:07Come on.
01:04:09Get off.
01:04:12You're going to regret this.
01:04:20Steven, the chef's apprentice is out.
01:04:23You're halfway to taking the food court project.
01:04:27Well done, Gina.
01:04:29Alex, remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients?

01:04:49Alex has got his own head chefs.
01:04:51I'm on the back.
01:04:52I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
01:04:54Once we snag the food court project,
01:04:57I'll get my share, right?
01:04:59Absolutely.
01:05:01I'll get you good.
01:05:04Alex, I gave you a chance.
01:05:06This is all on you.

01:07:54it's your turn to step up.
01:07:56What's going on?
01:07:58Why is there no being on Alex's side?
01:08:00Yeah, it looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
01:08:02All this morning, now we're going to have a complete chef.
01:08:05We're going to have a little hour over here.
01:08:07Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
01:08:09Even if you squeak by the first round,
01:08:11you've got no one for the second.
01:08:12She's got me all wrong,
01:08:18and I don't think she's coming back.
01:08:20This misunderstanding is too deep.
01:08:23Since we have no one from KL Group to compete,

01:08:29Snow!
01:08:30Wait a minute!
01:08:30Wait a minute!
01:08:34Alex, I'm back.
01:08:36What's the score?

01:08:48And Gina's representing Stephen in this competition.
01:08:50So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
01:08:53Ira, nothing happened with her.
01:08:56I will represent the KL Group.
01:08:58I'll take Gina on myself.
01:09:01Aren't we expecting to see
01:09:03Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
01:09:05Are you really in that league?
01:09:07No, I'm not.

01:09:50Why do you think you can represent KL?
01:09:53Because I'm his wife.
01:09:54That's why.
01:09:57Ira, you're a lifesaver.
01:10:00Let's see what you cook up.
01:10:04I'll give it a try,
01:10:05and we'll see who takes the crown.
01:10:08And who are you, old man?
01:10:11What makes you think you're in charge here?
01:10:13He's Alan Ducasse,
01:10:15president of the DuPont Group,
01:10:16the project's big cheese.
01:10:18Oh, he's definitely the one with the final say.
01:10:26Sir, this is the dish from Snow Group.
01:10:32Rich and aromatic,
01:10:34like you're basking in a warm Mediterranean sun.
01:10:38I created this with the combined efforts
01:10:41of three top chefs.
01:10:44So good luck beating that, Ira.
01:10:46You may be the culinary guru's apprentice,
01:10:48but that doesn't mean that you can outshine
01:10:50the work of four of us combined.
01:10:52Seriously, you think you can compete
01:11:00with something so simple and rough?
01:11:02This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with?
01:11:06It's so inelegant.
01:11:08You don't understand.
01:11:09A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients
01:11:11will never make the best food.
01:11:15Ira's right.
01:11:16A chef who relies only on spices
01:11:18is a one-trick pony.
01:11:20I'd rather just drink my protein shake.
01:11:22What's up with Alan?
01:11:34Why isn't he saying anything?
01:11:36Do you think the stuff is that bad?
01:11:38It must be terrible.
01:11:40Mr. Alan's in tears.
01:11:42No one asked your opinion.
01:11:43Mr. Alan, how does it taste?
01:11:48My dream, since I was young,
01:11:50was to taste the best food in the world,
01:11:53I never guessed I would do it today.
01:11:56I've waited 30 years for this dish.
01:11:59I declare the KL Group,
01:12:02led by Alex, winner.
01:12:04This isn't fair!
01:12:05I use the best, most expensive ingredients for my dish.
01:12:09How can plain scrambled eggs beat that?
01:12:11If all they care about is chasing fancy and extravagant,
01:12:14that is not what the project needs.
01:12:17Snow Group doesn't cut it.
01:12:20Just wait, Alex.
01:12:21I'm gonna make you pay!
01:12:24Ira, you crushed it!
01:12:26Food City Project is ours.
01:12:27I told you I could do it.
01:12:29Miss Ira, I have to know,
01:12:33what were you thinking
01:12:34while you were whipping those eggs
01:12:36that became so delicious?
01:12:38I guess I was just thinking about
01:12:40someone special.
01:12:44Miss Ira,
01:12:45sounds like you have it for that person.
01:12:49Alex, you promised me a surprise.
01:13:02What is it?
01:13:04Ira,
01:13:04Ira,
01:13:05thanks for everything in this competition.
01:13:08This is a family heirloom,
01:13:10meant for Mrs. Thompson.
01:13:13So Ira,
01:13:14will you be mine forever?
01:13:17Stay forever?
01:13:26That sounds boring.
01:13:28I haven't even explored the world yet.
01:13:30I guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
01:13:36Ira,
01:13:36do you not get it,
01:13:37or are you just messing with me?
01:13:45Hey, Alex,
01:13:45what's up?
01:13:46You called for me?
01:13:48I have two gifts for you.
01:13:52Here is a card
01:13:52with half my fortune.
01:13:54Take it as a thank you.
01:13:59Alex, you're the best.
01:14:00I love cash.
01:14:01Now I can buy all the ingredients I want
01:14:03and travel anywhere.
01:14:06Ira,
01:14:06I like you.
01:14:08I want to take our relationship
01:14:09to the next level.
01:14:10What do you think?
01:14:11How do you feel about me?
01:14:11You certainly have the money,
01:14:17and you let me prove my cooking abilities.
01:14:19You really have made all my dreams come true.
01:14:22Ira,
01:14:22you want out,
01:14:24right?
01:14:26I'll give you the money
01:14:27and the freedom you want.
01:14:30Here's a divorce agreement.
01:14:33Let's end this.
01:14:34Ira,
01:14:35sign this,
01:14:45and you're free.
01:14:47I'm leaving the country
01:14:48after it's done.
01:14:49Take care.
01:14:49I just remembered something.
01:15:05What does Alex mean?
01:15:13Why can't I stop thinking about him?
01:15:16Why was I thinking about Alex all night?
01:15:24Alex seemed off yesterday.
01:15:27Maybe I should cheer him up
01:15:28when I see him.
01:15:29Oh, crap.
01:15:30I never signed the divorce papers.
01:15:32How do I bring that up?
01:15:38Where's Alex?
01:15:39It feels weird
01:15:40not seeing him around.
01:15:44Grandma,
01:15:45where's Alex?
01:15:46Oh, Alex,
01:15:47he's at the airport,
01:15:48about to jet off.
01:15:50Congrats, honey.
01:15:51You'll finally be free.
01:15:53No more Alex
01:15:54to nag you.
01:15:55What?
01:16:04Boss,
01:16:05the plane is boarding.
01:16:06It looks like she's not coming.
01:16:08She didn't even bother
01:16:09to show up.
01:16:12Like I can.
01:16:13I can't stand the thought
01:16:27of losing you.
01:16:27Ira,
01:16:31if I stay,
01:16:32you'll end up leaving.
01:16:34You want your freedom
01:16:34and you don't love me.
01:16:36I can't be selfish
01:16:37in keeping trapped
01:16:38in this marriage.
01:16:39I don't want you to leave.
01:16:41Why not?
01:16:42Because,
01:16:43because when I'm not with you,
01:16:47you're all I think about.
01:16:49Alex,
01:16:49you asked me how I felt
01:16:51and I finally know
01:16:52I love you.
01:16:59Ira,
01:17:00I love you too.
01:17:04Ira,
01:17:05I love you too.
01:17:15I'm not signing this.
01:17:17That's not real,
01:17:17it doesn't matter.
01:17:18Huh?
01:17:24I'm not signing this.
