00:00:00Welcome to the annual Culinary Cup.

00:00:05Over 100 chefs battled, and America voted

00:00:09to bring the six most talented to the stage today.

00:00:14Marc De Laurentiis, Vanessa Laurent, and Haley Ruggles.

00:00:26My dream has always been to win the Culinary Cup

00:00:30and crush Marc De Laurentiis.

00:00:32But now that I'm so close, why does victory taste so bitter?

00:00:39From now on, the only words out of your mouth

00:00:42are going to be, yes, chef.

00:00:45Yes, chef.

00:00:46Give it up for our valedictorian, Haley Rivers.

00:00:56Yeah, Haley.

00:00:58I'm Diego, manager of Desire.

00:01:01Would you like to work under our head chef, Marc De Laurentiis?

00:01:16Father, I'm in.

00:01:20Revenge is best served cold.

00:01:24And soon we will feast.

00:01:31Salt, pepper, butter.

00:01:34Simple.

00:01:36And yet, deceptively complex.

00:01:38And that's how you cook a proper steak, OK?

00:01:47What is that?

00:01:51Is that good?

00:01:53Smell it.

00:01:54It's not good.

00:01:56It's a fucking piece of trash!

00:01:59Take your everything off it.

00:02:01You're fired.

00:02:03Am I stuttering?

00:02:08So, who wants a cup?

00:02:14I...

00:02:18Oh, I'm so, so sorry.

00:02:23I slipped, I...

00:02:24Who let you in?

00:02:25Marc.

00:02:26This is Haley.

00:02:27She just graduated from your alma mater, top of her class,

00:02:31with a focus on pastries.

00:02:33You should know not to be late.

00:02:38I'm sorry, it was just two minutes.

00:02:41Two minutes?

00:02:42That is the difference between a rare and a well-done steak.

00:02:47I want you to cook me a steak.

00:02:54Have we met before?

00:02:56No way.

00:02:57Does he remember me?

00:03:03You have three chances to cook me a steak to satisfy me.

00:03:09Or, you'll be fired.

00:03:25Just what I would expect from a pastry chef.

00:03:30You didn't even try it.

00:03:31Less butter, it's not a fucking croissant.

00:03:38This is drier than the fucking Sahara.

00:03:41More butter.

00:03:44I know.

00:03:45My secret ingredient.

00:04:01Tastes...

00:04:16Familiar.

00:04:17Did you sclery?

00:04:19Yes.

00:04:20How did you know?

00:04:22Who taught you how to cook?

00:04:24My mother.

00:04:30He took another bite.

00:04:31He never takes a second bite of the same dish.

00:04:34Your mother was a proper chef.

00:04:38Unlike you, you're in cleanup, do you for now on?

00:04:42Let the grease and the grime remind you to never be laid in my kitchen again.

00:04:50Thank you, chef.

00:04:51Not thank you, chef.

00:04:52Yes, chef.

00:04:53Yes, chef.

00:04:54Yes, chef.

00:04:55Okay, guys.

00:04:56So the culinary cup is in two weeks, and I'm going to win.

00:05:00Yes, chef.

00:05:01Hey, um, are you okay?

00:05:11Yeah, all good.

00:05:12I was just cutting onions.

00:05:14It's okay.

00:05:16You can trust me.

00:05:17And I guess that's why they say you should never meet your heroes, right?

00:05:21I know that it sounds ridiculous, but despite all of this, I still have the biggest crush on him.

00:05:26Mark De Laurentiis may have a great ass, but he is an overrated asshole.

00:05:35In my office.

00:05:37Now.

00:05:43Stand!

00:05:44Chef, I'm very sorry about everything I said.

00:05:47Which part?

00:05:49That I'm an overrated asshole.

00:05:52Well, that I have a great ass.

00:06:00That part I meant.

00:06:10Am I fired?

00:06:13Why do you look familiar?

00:06:22The taste of you.

00:06:24Got me coming back for more.

00:06:26One taste ain't enough.

00:06:28I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:06:30Got me feeling high, feeling low.

00:06:32Feeling things I never knew before.

00:06:35Can't get enough.

00:06:37I can't get enough.

00:06:38I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:06:40Taste of you.

00:06:42Guess who found a new buyer for his app?

00:06:45We're going to be filthy rich.

00:06:47What?

00:06:48That's amazing.

00:06:49I know.

00:06:51Attaboy!

00:06:52Hey, I am so proud of you, son.

00:06:56If you only had half of Adrian's ambition, or brains, have a seat.

00:07:01That's horrible.

00:07:04Thanks.

00:07:05Bon Appetit.

00:07:06So, Al's Desire, and did you meet Marquette?

00:07:10I did.

00:07:11He was interesting.

00:07:16Interesting?

00:07:17What do you mean?

00:07:18Like, attractive?

00:07:23Hayley, what about the recipe?

00:07:25Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.

00:07:30I want to work with you at the Golden Table and continue Mom's legacy.

00:07:34And you will.

00:07:36After you get revenge for your mother.

00:07:39Now, the Golden Table used to be the number one restaurant in Los Angeles

00:07:43until Ingrid De Laurentiis stole your mom's recipes and beat her in the Culinary Cup.

00:07:50I know what I have to do.

00:07:52Steal the recipes, and then I will beat Mark in the Culinary Cup.

00:07:57Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.

00:07:59I don't even know where to look.

00:08:02During last year's Culinary Cup, he kept referring to a red notebook

00:08:06It must be in there.

00:08:13A red notebook.

00:08:14I've seen it.

00:08:16Mike.

00:08:17They just sent you to?

00:08:17And you can just look for your choice.

00:08:20No, gee, here's my own filter.

00:08:23It's the best.

00:08:27Okay, listen up, chefs.

00:08:29Tonight, we are surveying my newest Coronation.

00:08:31First we need to try it

00:08:36What did I tell you about being late

00:08:49Are you not impressed

00:08:53It's okay

00:08:59The recipes are on your stations

00:09:02Let's get cooking come on

00:09:15This is not my recipe

00:09:18It's better

00:09:20What did you just say

00:09:23Um, I asked is it better?

00:10:38Get up

00:10:39Now

00:10:40The kitchen is yours

00:10:41Okay

00:10:42So the problem is in the sauce

00:10:43Sauce

00:10:44Sauce?

00:10:45My last name is D. Laurentis

00:10:46My ancestors basically invented the sauce

00:10:47What's wrong with the sauce?

00:10:48Hey Godfather

00:10:49I didn't mean to offend you

00:10:50Can I show you something?

00:10:51Yeah, go ahead

00:10:52So, instead of parsley I use a dash of Throby

00:10:53Throby

00:10:54Yeah, the Greek herb is

00:10:55I know what Throby is

00:10:56Okay, so the problem is in the sauce

00:10:57Okay, so the problem is in the sauce

00:10:59So the problem is in the sauce

00:11:00Sauce?

00:11:01My last name is D. Laurentis

00:11:02My ancestors basically invented the sauce

00:11:18I knew a girl once

00:11:20Actually, she was a lot like you

00:11:25Wow, a lot like me

00:11:29Do you want to try?

00:11:31Yeah

00:11:33May I?

00:11:36Okay, I think the tomato sauce is burnt off

00:11:55Okay, hey, calm down

00:11:58That's easy to say if you don't have a Michelin star restaurant with over 400 covers a night

00:12:04Okay, maybe you need to chill

00:12:06You're gonna lose a star if you keep rushing like this

00:12:10In my kitchen, I tell you what to do

00:12:13I want you to go home

00:12:15Now

00:12:17Now

00:12:18Jerk

00:12:19Why does this feel wrong?

00:12:33Remember what he did to your mom and the golden table

00:12:38Oh

00:12:39What are you doing?

00:12:40I thought that's mine

00:12:45I have the exact same one

00:12:49Okay

00:12:51I believe you

00:12:52You're definitely not like that Dominique

00:12:55Uh, Dominique?

00:12:57Mark's ex sous chef slash ex fiance

00:13:00Ex fiance?

00:13:01What happened?

00:13:03Well, what always happens when two beautiful chefs get cooking in a hot kitchen together?

00:13:08Spicy romance

00:13:10But she ended up breaking his heart and stealing his recipes

00:13:17And Mark vowed to never trust anyone ever again

00:13:21Except me, of course

00:13:23Of course

00:13:24Guess he wasn't always a dick, huh?

00:13:30Stop

00:13:35So first I'm an asshole

00:13:37And now a dick

00:13:39Baby, you need to choose what I am

00:13:44Because I can't be both

00:13:47You're cut for tonight

00:14:03Tasting for you

00:14:20Adrian

00:14:22What are you doing here?

00:14:23I wanted to surprise you

00:14:25Where have you been?

00:14:26Oh, um

00:14:29Chef kept us late

00:14:31Chef, huh?

00:14:32You know, generally people don't smile about having overtime

00:14:36Wow

00:14:39Oh, if you love cooking so much

00:14:41Then make me dinner

00:14:56And taste

00:14:58Come on

00:15:00I'm busy, Mark

00:15:03What did you just call me?

00:15:04Oh

00:15:06God, I'm sorry

00:15:07I'm sorry, I'm so tired.

00:15:09I demand you quit desire.

00:15:11Quit desire?

00:15:13Not now.

00:15:15I'm not asking.

00:15:17But I'm so close. Tonight when I was alone with him,

00:15:19he almost let me see his notebook.

00:15:21You were alone with Mark?

00:15:23We were cooking. Just cooking.

00:15:25You know what? That's it.

00:15:27I've had enough of this. I've tolerated your stupid

00:15:29little chef dream for long enough.

00:15:31This is too far.

00:15:33I forbid you from working for

00:15:35Mark De Laurentiis.

00:15:37You. Forbid me.

00:15:43Baby, I'm sorry.

00:15:45I'm sorry. I hate the idea of him even

00:15:47laying a finger on you.

00:15:49I mean, you hate

00:15:51him, right?

00:15:59Right?

00:16:01Of course, of course, I hate

00:16:03Mark De Laurentiis.

00:16:05I'm only random for one thing.

00:16:07Avenge.

00:16:09Oh, you're early.

00:16:11Come on, you inspired me last night.

00:16:13So I thought you would be the first one to try my new dish.

00:16:17What do you think?

00:16:19Be honest.

00:16:21It's good.

00:16:23Your meat, the truffle.

00:16:24It's flawless.

00:16:25It's really good.

00:16:26Good.

00:16:27Good.

00:16:28Do you think good will win the Culinary Cup?

00:16:29Do you think good will win the Culinary Cup?

00:16:33Tell me what do I need.

00:16:34What you need.

00:16:35What you need to need the dough.

00:16:37Here.

00:16:38Two.

00:16:39There.

00:16:40Good.

00:16:41What you need is to knead the dough.

00:16:43Here.

00:16:44What do you need is the dough, here.

00:16:45What do you need, the dough, the dough?

00:16:46What do you think?

00:16:47What do you need, the truffle?

00:16:48That'sło, it's really good.

00:16:49What do you think good will win the Culinary Cup?

00:16:52What do you need?

00:16:53The truffle is loveless.

00:16:55Tell me, what do I need?

00:16:59What you need is to knead the dough.

00:17:02Here.

00:17:09Pastry is like us.

00:17:11It needs a deep tissue massage.

00:17:19Okay, okay, okay.

00:17:21Relax, relax.

00:17:22Jeez.

00:17:23Gentle.

00:17:23You have to love the dough.

00:17:26Okay, so knead.

00:17:29Knead.

00:17:30Stretch.

00:17:31Stretch.

00:17:33Fold.

00:17:40Knead.

00:17:43Stretch.

00:17:45Stretch.

00:17:49Fold.

00:17:50Fold.

00:17:50For a little bit.

00:17:52Mm-hmm.

00:18:00There you go.

00:18:02Gentle.

00:18:03Gentle.

00:18:04Feels good.

00:18:06There, just like that.

00:18:08That's all good.

00:18:10Here.

00:18:11There, good.

00:18:21Not too fast.

00:18:24Do you feel it?

00:18:25Yeah.

00:18:29Okay, now, faster.

00:18:34Now it starts to smooth out.

00:18:36It's ready, okay?

00:18:38Now?

00:18:39Almost.

00:18:41Now.

00:19:08Wow.

00:19:10Wow.

00:19:10That's amazing.

00:19:17Wow.

00:19:22What's up, Chef?

00:19:38I guess certain privileges come with your new position.

00:19:48What new position?

00:19:50Whatever position Mark wants you in.

00:19:52Look, Vanessa, I don't know what you saw, but he just wanted me to taste his new dish.

00:19:57And did you taste it standing up or on your knees?

00:20:03I'm just playing with you, prep girl.

00:20:10Prep girl.

00:20:11Good for you.

00:20:13Living my dream.

00:20:14But if you're going to sneak around the kitchen, be sure to clean up your messes, like that hickey on your neck.

00:20:19No, it's from my boyfriend.

00:20:21No, it's from my boyfriend.

00:20:23Boyfriend?

00:20:24What's his name?

00:20:26Adrian Blackwell.

00:20:27Adrian Blackwell.

00:20:30I should be heading out.

00:20:31Hey, why are you still here?

00:20:41Chef, we need to talk.

00:20:43What's wrong?

00:20:47What happened was a mistake.

00:20:52I mean, I don't want to, like, offend you.

00:20:58So, obviously, I was into it, I, I, but, uh.

00:21:03My dish?

00:21:06Or a kiss?

00:21:09Both.

00:21:10But, you're my boss.

00:21:14And I think it is best if we keep things professional.

00:21:20Yes, I respect your decision.

00:21:23But, as your boss, I would ask you to join me on this work trip.

00:21:32Why don't you take Vanessa?

00:21:35Please, say yes.

00:21:36Say yes, Chef.

00:21:39Vanessa, these dishes won't wash themselves.

00:21:42Vanessa?

00:21:44Do you know what I admire about you?

00:21:48That I'm a better cook than you?

00:21:49No, that you have ambition, and you have fun doing it.

00:21:57So, what do you say?

00:21:58Do you want to join me on this work trip?

00:22:02Because I bet I will get inspired for my new recipes.

00:22:05Oh, like, for the culinary culinary?

00:22:09Yeah.

00:22:19Thank you so much, Vanessa, so much.

00:22:33Amazing.

00:22:43Something wrong?

00:22:44Um, I'm just so used to seeing you in an apron.

00:22:49You look divine.

00:22:53I'll see you.

00:22:54Oh, by the way, coffee.

00:22:56Okay.

00:23:01Who the hell is shit?

00:23:03Oh, my God, I love this song.

00:23:22Don't forget, Hayley.

00:23:24You're here for revenge, not love.

00:23:26Are we almost there?

00:23:43About an hour to go, sir.

00:23:53This is a really beautiful view.

00:23:56Yeah, isn't it beautiful?

00:23:58Was he referring to me or the view?

00:24:01Howdy, Mark.

00:24:02Hey, how you doing?

00:24:03What is this?

00:24:05Um, another girlfriend, I see.

00:24:09No, no, I'm just one of Mark's chefs.

00:24:12That's what the last one said.

00:24:15Should we go look at the crops?

00:24:19So, how many girlfriend chefs have you brought here?

00:24:26So, how many of your girlfriend chefs have you brought here?

00:24:31I have no idea what he's talking about.

00:24:34You are clearly the first one I brought here.

00:24:38Oh!

00:24:43Thanks.

00:24:43This is where we're going to source all the greens and fruits for desire.

00:24:51Do you like it?

00:24:51Somehow it already feels like home.

00:25:01You bought it?

00:25:02The phone.

00:25:03That means we have access to the herb garden, too.

00:25:05So, maybe we can plant some through a week.

00:25:10Come on, let me show you some.

00:25:16We have spaghetti squash, Jerusalem artichokes, and a beautiful lemon.

00:25:21Feel free to take one.

00:25:25Come on, let's try one.

00:25:26Oh!

00:25:36Got something.

00:25:37One, two.

00:25:38Did I get it?

00:25:39No, right.

00:25:39Right here.

00:25:41May I?

00:25:41Mm-hmm.

00:25:48Hello?

00:25:48I want to show you our lifestyle.

00:25:51Come on.

00:25:52Where are we at?

00:25:56Hello, welcome.

00:25:57Hello.

00:25:58Mark De Laurentiis, the king's suite, as usual.

00:26:01Monsieur De Laurentiis, unfortunately, we lost all our reservations.

00:26:06We only have one single room with one bed.

00:26:12Uh, what?

00:26:13One bed?

00:26:14Yes.

00:26:16Oh, no.

00:26:18No, no.

00:26:19Just tell me what is it going to take?

00:26:23Monsieur De Laurentiis, trust me.

00:26:25Um...

00:26:26I would love to help you out.

00:26:30How does that sound?

00:26:34That be enough?

00:26:36Really, we cannot accommodate your request.

00:26:38I wish I could.

00:26:40A second room, then.

00:26:41Oh, we are fully booked.

00:26:43I'm so sorry.

00:26:44Can I talk to the manager, please?

00:26:46Sir, um...

00:26:48I am with the manager.

00:26:49To the owner, then, because I'm going to buy this hotel and I'm going to fire you.

00:26:53Relax, safe firing for the restaurant.

00:26:56Uh, we will take the room.

00:27:00Fine.

00:27:01I am going to take the couch.

00:27:03The room doesn't have a couch.

00:27:06Perfect.

00:27:07You are all set.

00:27:08Have a great night.

00:27:13Well, I am going to sleep in my car.

00:27:17No.

00:27:17What?

00:27:18Mark, it's been a long day.

00:27:23We can share the bed.

00:27:28Well, okay.

00:27:31If you insist, we are two adults, huh?

00:27:34What's the worst thing that could happen?

00:27:38I have to go for a minute.

00:27:40Sorry.

00:27:41What about this, Hayley?

00:27:50He's not even that attractive.

00:28:03Right.

00:28:06Not that attractive.

00:28:08Oh!

00:28:16Sorry.

00:28:17It doesn't change me.

00:28:19No, I've got a lot of looking.

00:28:21Um, that's okay.

00:28:22Got it wrong.

00:28:31I...

00:28:31You, uh...

00:28:37You look...

00:28:38Oh, sorry.

00:28:40I...

00:28:40I'm sorry.

00:28:42I didn't think we'd be sharing a room.

00:28:44Are you cold?

00:28:45Here, take the shirt.

00:28:46Oh, no.

00:28:47I think that would probably be a bad idea.

00:28:52Now, that looks comfy, right?

00:28:54Yeah.

00:28:55Yeah, we should get into bed, Taylor.

00:28:57I mean...

00:28:58To sleep.

00:29:00So...

00:29:01You're gonna take the left side?

00:29:04Yeah.

00:29:19Good night.

00:29:21Good night.

00:29:22What is he doing?

00:29:37Can I ask you a question?

00:29:40When did you know you wanted to be a chef?

00:29:42When I was four.

00:29:43On my birthday, my mom got me this kitchen play set, and, uh, I never wanted to play with

00:29:52anything else.

00:29:53I remember playing, too.

00:29:55With the family's friend.

00:29:56I hated being a chef.

00:29:59So it changed.

00:30:03I actually started liking to be a chef at the...

00:30:07The golden table.

00:30:09I used to play cooking with the chef's daughter at her little kitchen play set.

00:30:16We always thought about that one little pot.

00:30:19Yeah, I want it.

00:30:21I don't want to know.

00:30:22I want it.

00:30:23The red one.

00:30:27How'd you know?

00:30:29Oh.

00:30:30Oh.

00:30:31Oh.

00:30:34Like I said, I had the same one.

00:30:36So...

00:30:37Didn't...

00:30:38Didn't everyone?

00:30:39I don't want to know.

00:30:43Yeah.

00:30:45As we got older, we started creating our own recipes.

00:30:50I'll call it crowd eggs.

00:30:53Then we could cook together.

00:30:55You can be me.

00:30:56Soul chef.

00:30:57You mean...

00:30:58Sous chef.

00:31:00Started cooking all our first dishes.

00:31:03Seeing her cook was so great.

00:31:07She was so alive, so happy.

00:31:09And I think that changed something in me.

00:31:12And I wanted to be a chef.

00:31:16But I wish I could cook with her again.

00:31:19Maybe you can.

00:31:20She's actually a lot like you.

00:31:23She always used through me in everything.

00:31:28Where did you say your mom was a chef?

00:31:32She was the best chef.

00:31:35But one of her best friends stole her recipes.

00:31:39Who was that thief?

00:31:46I mean, tell me and I will destroy the restaurant.

00:31:49Her name...

00:31:50Her name was...

00:31:55Her...

00:31:57Who's that?

00:31:59Boyfriend?

00:32:00Oh, um...

00:32:02It's my dad.

00:32:03Do you mind?

00:32:05No.

00:32:05Go ahead.

00:32:06Hello?

00:32:15Hayley, where are you? I'm at your place.

00:32:18Look, I have an early morning. I'll explain later.

00:32:23I know. I got back early. I have huge news.

00:32:27Where are you?

00:32:28There was an emergency with our suppliers, but I'm upstate at a farm with Mark.

00:32:33I'll be back.

00:32:35What?

00:32:37Upstate?

00:32:38Mark?

00:32:40So first, it's overtime. Now a business trip and you're sleeping with him?

00:32:49Be at my place tomorrow before dark. Okay? Do you understand?

00:32:52Go, go, go, go.

00:32:53Go, go, go.

00:33:14Go, go, go.

00:33:15I love you.

00:33:28I love you.

00:33:42Morning.

00:33:42Um, coffee?

00:33:45Oh, um...

00:33:51I have to get home before it's dark.

00:33:54Your dad is kind of strict.

00:33:57I wonder what we can get done in a couple of hours.

00:34:12I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:34:15Got me feeling high, feeling low.

00:34:18Feeling things I never knew before.

00:34:21Can't get enough.

00:34:22No, I can't.

00:34:23I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:34:25Taste of you.

00:34:27Give me that taste of your love.

00:34:30You got this, Hailey.

00:34:42The sooner you tell Adrienne about Mark, the better.

00:34:45Surprise!

00:34:57I have never seen you dance or smile in the kitchen before.

00:35:15Who are you?

00:35:16And what have you done with Mark?

00:35:18I met someone.

00:35:22Okay?

00:35:23Not someone.

00:35:24The one.

00:35:25Really?

00:35:26Well, what's her name?

00:35:27Where did you meet?

00:35:28I want to know everything.

00:35:29I don't want to jinx you.

00:35:30Surprise!

00:35:31Come on, babe.

00:35:32Come on.

00:35:33Come on.

00:35:34Come on.

00:35:35Yeah.

00:35:36Oh, my birthday's not for another month.

00:35:37I invited all of us here today to share in this magical moment.

00:35:43Dad.

00:35:44Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell.

00:35:45Adrian, what's going on?

00:35:46First, I'd like to tell everyone here that you are now looking at this.

00:35:49I want to know everything.

00:35:50I want to know everything.

00:35:51I want to know everything.

00:35:52I want to know everything.

00:35:53I don't want to jinx you.

00:35:54Surprise!

00:35:55Surprise!

00:35:56Surprise!

00:35:57Come on, babe.

00:35:58Come on.

00:35:59Come on.

00:36:00Come on.

00:36:01Yeah.

00:36:02Oh, my birthday's not for another month.

00:36:03I invited all of us here today to share in this magical moment.

00:36:05We are now looking at America's newest millionaire.

00:36:08Woohoo!

00:36:09You sold the company.

00:36:12Congratulations.

00:36:13And now that we're rich, I think it's time to move on to our next chapter.

00:36:25Hayley Rivers, will you marry me?

00:36:28Mark?

00:36:29Slow down.

00:36:30All right?

00:36:31Remember what happened with Dominique?

00:36:32Your crazy ex.

00:36:33No, she is not like Dominique, okay?

00:36:34She's different.

00:36:35She makes me believe in cooking again.

00:36:36And she makes me believe in...

00:36:37Love?

00:36:38No, don't you say it, all right?

00:36:39You're scaring me.

00:36:40I don't like this happy dancing Mark.

00:36:41All right?

00:36:42That's a yes!

00:36:43That's a yes!

00:36:44That's a yes!

00:36:45That's a yes!

00:36:46That's a yes!

00:36:47It fits!

00:36:48Congratulations, honey.

00:36:49Wow!

00:36:50We're a millionaire!

00:36:51We're a millionaire!

00:36:52Oh, yeah!

00:36:53Oh, yeah!

00:36:54Oh!

00:36:55Oh!

00:36:56Oh, yeah!

00:36:57Oh, yeah.

00:36:58Mm hmm.

00:36:59We really love you, wow.

00:37:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:02Aw, yeah.

00:37:03You're a millionaire.

00:37:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:05I'm gonna have to be okay.

00:37:06All right?

00:37:07Alright?

00:37:08If you guys are going to be okay,

00:37:09I'm gonna have to be okay.

00:37:10Woohoo!

00:37:11Hi.

00:37:12I'm gonna have to be okay.

00:37:13I'm gonna have to be okay.

00:37:14All right?

00:37:15Gonna be in forever.

00:37:16Kinda need you to say something, yeah.

00:37:17That's a yes!

00:37:18I would also like to announce that I will be buying the golden table as a gift to my new fiancee.

00:37:28Signed this morning.

00:37:31What?

00:37:32Adrian, why don't we talk?

00:37:34Okay, give us one second.

00:37:37It's done.

00:37:38You no longer have to work for that smug bastard de la rent or whatever, okay?

00:37:42You can just stay home.

00:37:43Diego, you are my best friend.

00:37:46My only friend.

00:37:50She's the right one.

00:37:51Trust me.

00:37:55Mark, at least let me meet her.

00:37:57You know her.

00:37:58You actually introduced us.

00:38:01And I'm thinking to propose to her after we win the culinary cup.

00:38:10But I'm this close to getting Mark's recipes.

00:38:12Mark?

00:38:13What?

00:38:14What?

00:38:15Hayley, what is going on?

00:38:16Do you love him?

00:38:18Adrian, I...

00:38:29No.

00:38:30I can never love him.

00:38:32I'm just using him for revenge.

00:38:35I'm going to destroy Mark De Laurentiis.

00:38:43Oh, here you are.

00:38:44I need to talk to you about our future.

00:38:47Listen up, team.

00:38:48Now that we are all here, I have some news.

00:38:53I have to come clean and tell you that Hayley and I...

00:39:03Hayley and I perfected De Laurentiis Beef Wellington.

00:39:09From today moving onwards, Hayley is going to be promoted to be a sous chef.

00:39:15And she will help me preparing all the dishes for the culinary cup and also join me in the competition.

00:39:22Hayley, what are you saying?

00:39:25It would be an honor, chef.

00:39:30Okay guys, so for tonight we are focusing on preparing all the dishes for the culinary cup.

00:39:36Let's get cooking, right?

00:39:37Yes chef!

00:39:38Yes chef!

00:39:39Come on!

00:39:40I'm going to sleep.

00:39:43I'm going to sleep.

00:39:48I'm going to sleep.

00:39:55Take your apron off.

00:39:57Um...

00:39:58I'm okay?

00:40:08Rah.

00:40:10Stop.

00:40:15Stop.

00:40:16Stop.

00:40:17We have to get back to the kitchen.

00:40:18We can't stop.

00:40:19I am done playing games.

00:40:21Okay?

00:40:22Hayley, I want you.

00:40:25This time for real Hayley or us.

00:40:28You don't even know me.

00:40:29I know you.

00:40:31I have the feeling I know you for my whole life.

00:40:34Look, you're smart.

00:40:35You are funny.

00:40:36And you are sexy as hell.

00:40:38And I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:40:47Mark.

00:40:48You have to get back to the kitchen.

00:40:51To the hell with the kitchen.

00:40:53All desire can burn.

00:40:54I don't care, okay?

00:40:55Do you feel that?

00:40:59Feel it.

00:41:05My heart...

00:41:07Is beating for you.

00:41:09And all of you.

00:41:11Fine.

00:41:12Let desire burn then.

00:41:14I want to be the first time at De Laurentiis.

00:41:16Let a successful business burn.

00:41:18Bigger than golden table.

00:41:19I'm thinking of golden kitchen, right?

00:41:31You did it!

00:41:41So what is he cooking?

00:41:44I don't know.

00:41:45I haven't looked yet.

00:41:47I...

00:41:48I couldn't.

00:41:50I feel like a cheater.

00:41:51We can now enter the golden table into the culinary coven with Mark's recipes.

00:41:56We're sure to win.

00:42:01Wait a minute.

00:42:03Is this a joke?

00:42:07That's his recipe book.

00:42:08These are now Mark's recipes.

00:42:10These are yours!

00:42:14Grilled cheese.

00:42:15Spaghetti.

00:42:16Cloud eggs.

00:42:17What the hell is a cloud egg?

00:42:19No.

00:42:22This is my handwriting, but I don't even remember writing these.

00:42:26This is from when you were a kid.

00:42:28When the both of you used to play together.

00:42:30Who are you trying to fool?

00:42:31I don't know what to tell you.

00:42:33I stole this from him.

00:42:37Why would he be reading your childhood recipes?

00:42:42He'd be reading your childhood recipes.

00:42:45Maybe she got a mixed up one.

00:42:46You know there was this one time where she took my phone instead?

00:42:47No, that was...

00:42:48Okay, okay.

00:42:49That was...

00:42:50One time.

00:42:51And no.

00:42:52This is his notebook.

00:42:56You...

00:42:58Are so...

00:42:59Perfect.

00:43:01Go...

00:43:03Get this real recipe!

00:43:05Go, go!

00:43:07You know what?

00:43:08Dad...

00:43:11That's it!

00:43:12I've been so...

00:43:13Over...

00:43:15This!

00:43:16I don't know what I can do to make you proud!

00:43:18I graduated top of my class!

00:43:20I became sous chef for Mark De Laurentiis!

00:43:23I don't even think this is about Mom's memory!

00:43:26This is just about your petty revenge.

00:43:28Which she totally botched.

00:43:30I...

00:43:31I...

00:43:35And you...

00:43:37You...

00:43:38Have treated me...

00:43:39Like shit!

00:43:40Ever since you got...

00:43:42A taste...

00:43:43Of success...

00:43:44With your shitty little startup!

00:43:46I wouldn't call selling a business for millions stupid!

00:43:49To change!

00:43:59I'm done with both of you!

00:44:03Well, what about Golden Table?

00:44:05Don't you care for this family?

00:44:07Yes, I care!

00:44:08All I do is think about the Golden Table!

00:44:11But I'm done!

00:44:14Haley!

00:44:16Get back here!

00:44:19Hey!

00:44:22What's going on?

00:44:23Shh!

00:44:25This is my kitchen now!

00:44:26From now on, the only words out of your mouth...

00:44:28Are going to be yes, chef!

00:44:30Yes, chef!

00:44:32Take off your shirt!

00:44:34Yes!

00:44:36Chef!

00:44:37Yes!

00:44:38Yes!

00:44:39Yes!

00:44:40Yes!

00:44:41Yes!

00:44:42Yes!

00:44:43Yes!

00:44:44Yes!

00:44:45Yes!

00:44:46Yes!

00:44:47Yes!

00:44:48My jewelry!

00:44:49Yes, yes.

00:44:50Yes!

00:44:51Yes!

00:44:52Yes!

00:44:53Yes!

00:44:54Yes!

00:44:55What do you do?

00:44:56I'll do what you mean...

00:44:57Yes!

00:44:59Yes...

00:45:12Chef.

00:45:26Take me now.

00:45:28Yes, Chef.

00:45:40Good morning.

00:45:42I thought it's time for some classic brunch.

00:45:45Scrambled eggs and croissants.

00:45:47Brunch is my favorite meal.

00:45:49Mine too.

00:45:51I'm starving.

00:45:52It's good cooking.

00:46:12Can't get enough, I can't, I can't.

00:46:14I'm addicted to the taste of you.

00:46:17So, how much time do we have?

00:46:21About 30 minutes.

00:46:2330 minutes.

00:46:2430 minutes.

00:46:29Why do you have my notebook?

00:46:38I found it.

00:46:42I found it.

00:46:45I found it.

00:46:47And I have the same one when I was little.

00:46:49So, I must have gotten confused.

00:46:53I belong to her.

00:46:59The girl who made me fall in love with cooking.

00:47:04Call it cloud eggs.

00:47:06You can't be me.

00:47:07Soul Chef.

00:47:08You mean sous chef.

00:47:10Pretty sure it's Soul Chef.

00:47:12That was actually the last time I saw her.

00:47:14Our mothers got into an argument and then I.

00:47:17And I moved to Germany.

00:47:19All those years and you, you still kept that notebook?

00:47:22I mean, everyone has that kind of person, right?

00:47:26That impression from childhood.

00:47:28Strangely stick.

00:47:35And somehow, I became my mom.

00:47:38Cooking for profit.

00:47:41And sometimes revenge.

00:47:44Well, it's easy to get lost.

00:47:47Cooked for the wrong reasons.

00:47:50Until I met you.

00:47:55You made me fall in love.

00:47:57Not just with cooking.

00:47:59Mark, I...

00:48:01There's something I have to tell you.

00:48:06Shit.

00:48:11I got called in early for Mother's Day.

00:48:15You ready for me, Ann?

00:48:21I'll tell him tonight.

00:48:30Adrienne Blackwell?

00:48:32I work at Desire.

00:48:34And I have some information you might be interested in.

00:48:37I'm not interested.

00:48:39Please leave.

00:48:43Hayley and Mark are having an affair.

00:48:48Hayley and Mark are having an affair.

00:48:51That bitch.

00:48:54Should have known she was a liar.

00:48:56Question is, how can we ruin her?

00:48:58What does she love the most?

00:49:05Her family restaurant.

00:49:07Have you heard of the Golden Table?

00:49:09She's the daughter of Chef Maya?

00:49:14On top of stealing my love, she already owns her own restaurant?

00:49:17Hmm.

00:49:18Not anymore.

00:49:19Her father sold it to me.

00:49:21I was going to gift it back to Hayley.

00:49:24Now you need a new chef.

00:49:30And partner in crime.

00:49:34What flavor of crime are you thinking?

00:49:39I need a few ideas.

00:49:40Look, I don't understand, okay?

00:49:47Chef, our supplier said Hayley canceled our whole order.

00:49:50Me?

00:49:51What?

00:49:52I...

00:49:53No, I didn't!

00:49:54Look, today is Mother's Day, okay?

00:49:56We have the first seating in one hour.

00:49:58And you're telling me we don't have any food?

00:50:03Chef, they saw worse.

00:50:05Oh, way worse.

00:50:06We've been waiting for an hour.

00:50:10This better be good.

00:50:12I pay thousands.

00:50:14Three mentionless stars in my ass.

00:50:15How about a one-star Yelp review?

00:50:17Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm.

00:50:19There seems to be a minor glitch in our reservation system.

00:50:25What's going on?

00:50:27Well, everybody's reservation somehow got booked for the same time.

00:50:31We're overbooked and we don't have any food.

00:50:36I have the best hackers in Silicon Valley on my payroll.

00:50:44Desires reservation systems, I'm a fucking joke.

00:50:47And I just canceled all of our supplier shipments for today.

00:50:51So you're telling me there's an angry mob of starving superfans out there?

00:50:56And no food to serve them.

00:50:57I think we have to cancel today's service.

00:51:09Or we could embrace the chaos.

00:51:14Diego, go out there and tell everyone that they will be having an Omikase menu tonight.

00:51:20Servers, make sure everybody stays happy.

00:51:23Clear the tables, pump up the music and bring out the wine.

00:51:27We're having a Mother's Day party tonight.

00:51:30Come on, go. Everybody go.

00:51:32What are you waiting for?

00:51:33Yes, Chef.

00:51:34Okay, where are you going to see for me?

00:51:39You can't make them drunk enough to forget that they're hungry.

00:51:42Well, then we'll just have to source locally.

00:51:44But it's Sunday night.

00:51:46All of the suppliers are closed.

00:51:49Mark, follow me.

00:51:59Are you Mark Delorentes?

00:52:00In the flesh, Ken.

00:52:01How would you like to be our supplier for today?

00:52:03We need protein.

00:52:06Um, we have chicken nuggets.

00:52:09Chicken nuggets?

00:52:10Yes.

00:52:11Well, what are we doing with chicken nuggets?

00:52:13We could deconstruct these, potato chips, wasabi peas,

00:52:19crusted chicken with soy sauce, honey reduction glaze, sweet and sour umami.

00:52:25Yes, and instant ramen for extra texture.

00:52:36What are you thinking for dessert?

00:52:37Uh, okay, we have ice cream.

00:52:39Do you have coffee?

00:52:42Yes, uh, we do, but we just ran out, but I couldn't brew some more.

00:52:46What are you thinking, Karen Masood?

00:52:47How much of a risk are you willing to take on me?

00:52:58Can we do whatever it takes?

00:53:00Okay, um, coffee please.

00:53:02Yes, yes, coffee.

00:53:03And how are we doing tonight, gentlemen?

00:53:14It's taking out so long.

00:53:21Okay, chefs, come on.

00:53:22We're already late.

00:53:23Let's cook like we've never cooked before, okay?

00:53:25Yeah. Let's go.

00:53:28Chicken nuggets.

00:53:37One for the peas.

00:53:38Dinner is served, everyone.

00:53:53Now, uh, we know this is not our usual menu tonight,

00:53:57so we appreciate you all for being so flexible.

00:54:01And because it's Mother's Day, everything's on the house.

00:54:04They're enjoying themselves.

00:54:18Are you ready to make something sweet?

00:54:27Chef.

00:54:28Oh my god, this is so good.

00:54:31You should try it.

00:54:32Chef, why are you eating the slurpees?

00:54:35Have you ever had one before?

00:54:37No, I'm not clearly missing one.

00:54:39Okay, that's great.

00:54:39Well, let's get back to work, please.

00:54:42Hand that over.

00:54:49And for our last dish of the night,

00:54:50we present a wild berry granita.

00:54:56Enjoy.

00:54:58Thank you for all that.

00:55:03Wow, just off tips alone.

00:55:04That was our most lucrative night.

00:55:07Ever.

00:55:08And we've gone viral on social media.

00:55:11Thanks to you, Hailey.

00:55:14She saved us.

00:55:20Oh, and Mark, there's a VIP guest here who wanted to give his personal compliments to the chef.

00:55:25I heard your food was exquisite, but after tasting it myself, it's worse than convenience store food.

00:55:42Um, excuse me, I thought you wanted to give your compliments to the chefs?

00:55:49Compliments?

00:55:50No, no.

00:55:52Complaints.

00:55:53This was the worst experience I've ever had in my dining career.

00:55:58So tell me, who's responsible?

00:56:02I take full responsibility.

00:56:05So tell me, is there anything we can do to make this right?

00:56:09Well, you could start by firing her.

00:56:17Um, well, I am sorry to say, but our sous-chef is irreplaceable, I desire.

00:56:25Hmm, I get it now.

00:56:30You two are fucking.

00:56:33Tell me, how long has this been going on, you slut?

00:56:39Hey, watch it.

00:56:43Where have you been doing it, hmm?

00:56:45The kitchen?

00:56:55Are you going to finish that?

00:57:02So the culinary cup is this weekend, right?

00:57:06So I need to tell you my recipes, right?

00:57:08Oh, um, your recipes.

00:57:12Ever since my ex stole them, I'm never writing them down.

00:57:16I always have them locked in here.

00:57:18But I know I can trust you.

00:57:21So for the first dish, I thought...

00:57:22No, um, you know what?

00:57:26Actually, don't tell me.

00:57:27But I need to tell you the dish if you want to win the cup.

00:57:34Okay, so for the first dish, I thought we could...

00:57:36I'm not, I'm not who you think I am.

00:57:43I'm not who you think I am.

00:57:48Who are you?

00:57:52My mom left that year.

00:57:56She said that is one of her most cherished memories.

00:58:00Do you know her?

00:58:03Chef Maya.

00:58:06She's...

00:58:07The first woman who won the culinary cup.

00:58:10My mom and her were actually besties before they had a fallout, after she lost.

00:58:16Lost?

00:58:17Wow, really?

00:58:19Your mom stole Chef Maya's recipes.

00:58:22My mom did what?

00:58:24She was jealous that Chef Maya beat her, so she stole her recipes to try and win the next year.

00:58:30And then she tried to buy out the golden table.

00:58:33Who told you that nonsense?

00:58:36Why did your mom make several of Chef Maya's dishes at the culinary cup, huh?

00:58:41See?

00:58:42She's got nothing.

00:58:44Look, I was a kid and I was in the kitchen at the kitchen staff talking.

00:58:49Chef Maya's husband gave my mother the recipes.

00:58:54You're lying.

00:58:56Why?

00:58:57I don't believe you.

00:58:58They were having an affair.

00:59:04I remember my mom told me that Chef Maya wanted to sell the golden table because she wanted to

00:59:09quit luxury dining and she wanted to focus on what she lost.

00:59:14Pastries.

00:59:15No, I don't believe you.

00:59:16And that's when Chef Maya's husband started visiting you off.

00:59:21No, stop.

00:59:23That's not true.

00:59:25It is true.

00:59:25Wait, why are you so emotional?

00:59:30Do you work for the golden table?

00:59:39Out of all the restaurants in LA, how did you end up in my kitchen?

00:59:43I came to steal your recipes.

00:59:45To represent the golden table in the culinary cup and take down desire in the same way that your mother took down us.

00:59:53So this is all fate?

00:59:55You and me?

00:59:57No, Mark.

00:59:58I mean, it was, but it's...

00:59:59Get out!

01:00:01Mark, please, I can explain.

01:00:04What else did you lie about, huh?

01:00:06Are you married?

01:00:08Do you have kids?

01:00:09I was engaged.

01:00:17Engaged?

01:00:20Holy shit.

01:00:21To the guy that I punched?

01:00:24Is that the guy, huh?

01:00:26Yes, but I broke it off, okay?

01:00:28And, and it's, it's not happening anymore.

01:00:31I don't love him.

01:00:32I love you.

01:00:33I don't love you.

01:00:40So Diego was right.

01:00:42You're just like Dominique.

01:00:44Hmm?

01:00:44What?

01:00:45Please?

01:00:46You're fired!

01:00:48Hayley, Elizabeth, whoever the fuck you are, get out.

01:00:52Get out!

01:01:06Hello?

01:01:19Yes, this is Hayley Robertson.

01:01:23Oh my God.

01:01:27I'll be there in a second.

01:01:32Dad, Dad!

01:01:34Hayley?

01:01:36He took it.

01:01:37He took everything.

01:01:39Oh, who?

01:01:40Oh!

01:01:40Who took what?

01:01:42Adrian!

01:01:43He keeps me out.

01:01:44He took the cone table from us, Hayley.

01:01:48No.

01:01:48No, he can't do that.

01:01:49I signed over to him.

01:01:52And now that you guys are broken up,

01:01:56Hayley, you gotta get the cone table back for us,

01:01:59for your mother, for your mother, for your mother, for me.

01:02:05Franklin!

01:02:06Well, well, well.

01:02:14If it isn't my ex-fiancé.

01:02:20Adrian, I'm so, so sorry, but please give me my mother's restaurant back.

01:02:30And what do I get in return?

01:02:32I can cook for you.

01:02:34I can, anything, but please, it's all I have left of her.

01:02:40Can't you see, Hayley?

01:02:41I'm trying to ruin your life.

01:02:43You and your pretty little boyfriend.

01:02:45Hayley!

01:02:47My BFF.

01:02:48How does it feel to be stabbed in the back?

01:02:51Vanessa?

01:02:53I thought we were friends.

01:02:56Friends?

01:02:57After you stole Mark and my dream job?

01:03:00Friends?

01:03:00We can't wait to destroy you and your new little boy toy.

01:03:12What are you two planning?

01:03:13Well, you'll have to find out for yourself at the culinary cup.

01:03:17Or not.

01:03:18What?

01:03:18I heard that Mark fired you.

01:03:20And you've lost the golden table.

01:03:22A chef without a restaurant can't even compete.

01:03:25Hey, like, it's okay.

01:03:37Sit.

01:03:37Why did you make me a spy?

01:03:46Why did you send me into desire?

01:03:51Ingrid De Laurentiis ruined our lives.

01:03:55And the apple certainly doesn't fire from the tree.

01:03:59Yeah.

01:04:00Well, Mark told me a pretty outrageous lie.

01:04:04He said that you and Ingrid De Laurentiis were having an affair.

01:04:08And that you gave her mom's recipes before the competition.

01:04:11Don't.

01:04:13Okay.

01:04:20It's time to tell you the truth.

01:04:30The truth is, your mother, she wanted to close the golden table.

01:04:35And go into pastries.

01:04:37And I couldn't allow her to ruin her future.

01:04:40Your future.

01:04:41You mean your future.

01:04:44I was just disappointed in your mother.

01:04:47While Ingrid, oh, she had a vision for an empire of restaurants desire.

01:04:55And I knew that she could go all the way.

01:04:57And she did.

01:04:59You're a despicable man.

01:05:03Now, you gotta understand.

01:05:05Ingrid and I, we were in love.

01:05:07Not just with each other.

01:05:10With fame, fortune, glory.

01:05:16And then when your mother, she lost the competition.

01:05:22She got sick.

01:05:23She couldn't cook.

01:05:27She couldn't eat.

01:05:28And she had to use the feeding tube.

01:05:31It was torture.

01:05:35When she died,

01:05:35So did Archery.

01:05:40We were so guilty.

01:05:42I'm sorry.

01:05:43I'm sorry.

01:05:44I'm sorry.

01:05:44Then why the obsession with taking down the De Laurentiases?

01:05:48To keep your mom's legacy alive.

01:05:51The golden table, that was her life's work.

01:05:59Don't you fucking get it, dad?

01:06:02She didn't care about the golden table.

01:06:05She didn't care about legacy.

01:06:08She cared about us.

01:06:10Community.

01:06:10We.

01:06:11We were her life's work.

01:06:13Yeah.

01:06:17Hey, Hailey.

01:06:18Ow.

01:06:31Chef.

01:06:33Good luck at the culinary competition tomorrow.

01:06:35I know you're gonna win.

01:06:37Is there anything else I can maybe help you with?

01:06:39I heard that Hailey is no longer with us.

01:06:42I just got finished washing the dishes, so.

01:06:45Please, just let me be.

01:06:49You're dismissed.

01:06:53Fucking hell.

01:07:03Stefan, I was always invisible to you.

01:07:06I heard that the competition is going to be explosive.

01:07:09This year.

01:07:11Do you know what happens when dry ice needs boiling water?

01:07:15Good luck, chef.

01:07:26Mark!

01:07:27Let me see, let me see, let me see.

01:07:28Oh, gosh.

01:07:29We need to call an ambulance.

01:07:31Oh, my God.

01:07:32The competition.

01:07:33This weekend.

01:07:34What are you gonna do?

01:07:37Can you be my sous chef?

01:07:40Yes, chef.

01:07:40Oh, my God.

01:07:46You're welcome.

01:07:48That was a close one.

01:07:49No more drama.

01:07:50Happy thoughts only.

01:07:52Pumpkin.

01:07:54I'm so sorry, pumpkin.

01:07:55Let's just let bygones be bygones, because now all I want is for you to be happy.

01:08:03Pumpkin, how's life?

01:08:09Mm-hmm.

01:08:09You're okay.

01:08:11Looks like something's wrong.

01:08:13Dad, I think I might be in love.

01:08:19That's great news.

01:08:20Is he rich?

01:08:22Sorry.

01:08:22That's old house.

01:08:26Who is he?

01:08:27Well, he is rich.

01:08:29Oh, thank God.

01:08:30He's very, very rich.

01:08:33And his name is Mark DeLorean.

01:08:36No!

01:08:36Dad!

01:08:37Dad, are you okay?

01:08:38No, no.

01:08:39It's okay.

01:08:40Oh, my gosh.

01:08:42Mark.

01:08:43Does he love you, too?

01:08:46He loathes me.

01:08:49He just fired me for being a spy.

01:08:52Now, Adrian's gonna sabotage the culinary cup, and I don't even have a restaurant to get in, so.

01:08:58Okay.

01:08:59That's it.

01:09:00No, Dad, you're sick.

01:09:02I'm sick of this hospital.

01:09:04Come on, sneak me out of here, please.

01:09:06Look, I have a solution.

01:09:15Welcome to the annual Culinary Cup.

01:09:17Over 100 chefs battled, and America voted to bring the six most talented to the stage today.

01:09:24Now, let's meet our contestants.

01:09:26Mark Diller enters from Desire.

01:09:28Will he defend his title, or will his reign come to an end?

01:09:33Vanessa, what are you doing?

01:09:36I need your hand.

01:09:36I can't do it alone.

01:09:37Oh, that's too bad.

01:09:38Because it seems I may have double booked.

01:09:41Next, Vanessa Laurent.

01:09:43Once a chef at Desire, now executive chef of the rebranded Golden Table.

01:09:49Looks like we have our first backstabbing of the competition.

01:09:54Now I know all your recipes.

01:09:59For years, I had the biggest crush on you, Mark, and you never even bothered to learn my name.

01:10:04And how I am going to crush you and desire.

01:10:13And finally, our wild card entry from a viral pop-up food cart.

01:10:17Let's welcome.

01:10:28I'm here with Haley Rivers, whose pop-up food cart, Mother's Table, has gone viral.

01:10:33Haley, why do you think people showed up so strongly?

01:10:35Oh, well, at Mother's Table, we believe that food doesn't have to be fancy to be good.

01:10:42And at Mother's Table, we may not have stars, but we have fun.

01:10:46Oh, I love that.

01:10:47And how far can this food cart go?

01:10:48All the way to the culinary cup.

01:10:50Across the street, you have 24 hours to vote.

01:10:52And I'm Haley's father.

01:10:54Vote Mother's Table.

01:10:57Let's welcome Haley Rivers.

01:10:58Ruffin' Mother's Table.

01:11:11By the end of today, one chef will be crowned the Culinary Cup Champion.

01:11:19First impressions are everything.

01:11:21So your task is to create an appetizer that introduces you and your taste.

01:11:26The clock is set.

01:11:28Your ingredients await.

01:11:30Three, two, one, cook!

01:11:54Time's up, chefs!

01:11:58Now, first up, Chef Laurent.

01:12:02This is my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche.

01:12:06My hope is to invoke a cool ocean breeze with each bite.

01:12:10For the appetizer, I prepared Wagyu tartare.

01:12:18And to balance the heavy flavor, I have balsamic made out of scarlet bell strawberries.

01:12:25And to balance the heavy flavor.

01:12:26Okay.

01:12:33Hello.

01:12:34Um, hi, judges.

01:12:37At my pop-up Mother's Table, we value comfort.

01:12:41And two of my favorite things to bake are flans and tarts.

01:12:47So this is a tart flan.

01:12:49It's fusion?

01:12:52Call me a traditionalist, but I won't ever choose fusion food.

01:12:57It's effortless.

01:12:58It's not fusion.

01:12:59It's something completely new.

01:13:02The judges have voted.

01:13:04The following three will move on to the second round.

01:13:08Marc De Laurentiis, Vanessa Laurent, and Haley Rivers.

01:13:17Well, before we proceed, let's hear a few words from our three finalists.

01:13:25Chef De Laurentiis, you're no stranger to the stage.

01:13:29But now you're competing against two of your former chefs.

01:13:33What do you make of your competitors?

01:13:37That's an easy question.

01:13:39Chef Laurent, she's an excellent dishwasher.

01:13:43Although I found a little stain in her dish.

01:13:47You are fired, by the way.

01:13:50And Chef Rivers.

01:13:52She is a dangerous woman and an excellent chef.

01:13:58Marc is a lousy excuse of a man.

01:14:01And Haley only got to where she got because she swapped her way to the top.

01:14:08What do you have to say for yourself, Chef Rivers?

01:14:10Um, I...

01:14:17I think that maybe in another life, in another kitchen, we maybe could have been friends.

01:14:26Or more.

01:14:29Um, good luck, Vanessa, Marc.

01:14:31Well, there you have it.

01:14:36You guys ready for round two?

01:14:37Yeah!

01:14:38All right.

01:14:40Cook any cuisine, but you must incorporate this special ingredient.

01:14:44What is it?

01:14:45Can everybody say cheese?

01:14:47Oh!

01:14:47Cheese!

01:14:49Cheese!

01:14:50Cheese!

01:14:51Cheese!

01:14:51Oh!

01:14:52It appears Chef De Laurentiis has dropped his entree.

01:15:22He'll be judged solely on his appetizer alone.

01:15:25Is that a grilled cheese?

01:15:28What is this? A school lunch?

01:15:31What's the most important part about grilled cheese?

01:15:33It's not the cheese, but the bread.

01:15:35That perfect contrast between crispy exterior and gooey interior.

01:15:38It's a bread. It's almost laminated like a croissant, but grilled.

01:15:44I haven't seen bread this good since judging the Culinary Cup winner, Chef Maya Miller.

01:15:51The two chefs to move on to our final round are...

01:15:58The two chefs to move on to our final round are...

01:16:02Chef Vanessa Laurent!

01:16:04Yes!

01:16:07And... Chef Haley Rivers!

01:16:13Yes!

01:16:14Yes!

01:16:15And how about a round of applause for Chef Mark De Laurentiis?

01:16:19Wait, Mark. Why don't you join Mother's Table?

01:16:34Well, folks, it looks like we might have an alliance brewing over here.

01:16:40The Culinary Cup has never had two contestants join together.

01:16:45I was supposed to be his sous chef.

01:16:47Originally, we were supposed to work together.

01:16:50There are no rules against it, so it's up to Chef De Laurentiis.

01:16:55I don't know what to say, except you're going down, Vanessa.

01:17:10Well, folks, get ready for our final round right after these messages.

01:17:16So, what's your better plan for tonight?

01:17:22Um, I was thinking maybe a quiche.

01:17:25A quiche?

01:17:26I don't know.

01:17:28I didn't actually think I'd get this far.

01:17:31Chefs, welcome to the final round of the Culinary Cup.

01:17:35The theme of your final dish is...

01:17:39The Last Supper.

01:17:40The judges would like to see a signature dish that defines your career.

01:17:44This is your final statement.

01:17:45The last dish you will want to leave on this earth.

01:17:48Let's get started.

01:17:49Three, two, one, go!

01:18:05I need this.

01:18:06Okay.

01:18:07If you want to do this, we have to stop fighting, okay?

01:18:10Okay.

01:18:11Think.

01:18:12What are our strengths?

01:18:13Well, you are the protein king, so...

01:18:16Please don't call me.

01:18:18What?

01:18:19You have the best meat I've ever tasted.

01:18:21Okay, you can say that again.

01:18:26Okay.

01:18:27Um, and you are clearly the pastry queen.

01:18:33Um, so what's something that showcases both of our talents?

01:18:40What?

01:18:41You make the pastry.

01:18:42Okay.

01:18:43And you make the tenderloin.

01:18:45Got it.

01:19:00Were you always that rough?

01:19:03Okay?

01:19:04All right.

01:19:05Give me your meat.

01:19:10Well, it's time to make it rice, huh?

01:19:12Now for my signature garnish.

01:19:29Wow!

01:19:30It looks like Chef Laurent's finished with ten minutes to spare.

01:19:33What do you want?

01:19:48I just wanted to say...

01:19:50I'm sorry.

01:19:52For everything.

01:19:54Will you forgive me for the damage that I've caused?

01:20:06Mark.

01:20:07Know her feelings, right?

01:20:12No.

01:20:13Your signature shallots.

01:20:14What an explosive garnish.

01:20:18Hey!

01:20:19Hey!

01:20:20Hey.

01:20:21Hey.

01:20:22Hey.

01:20:23Are you okay?

01:20:24Did any oil hit you?

01:20:25No.

01:20:26I'm fine.

01:20:27I'm fine.

01:20:28I'm fine.

01:20:29I'm fine.

01:20:30I'm fine.

01:20:31It's Pete Wellington.

01:20:32It's ruined.

01:20:33Are we gonna lose now?

01:20:34Hey, look.

01:20:35My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.

01:20:39But there's more to this world than just cups, stars, and...

01:20:40Don't ask science.

01:20:41Don't ask science.

01:20:42Don't ask science.

01:20:43No.

01:20:44I'm fine.

01:20:45I'm fine.

01:20:46I'm fine.

01:20:47I'm fine.

01:20:48I'm fine.

01:20:49I'm fine.

01:20:50It's Pete Wellington.

01:20:51It's...

01:20:52It's ruined.

01:20:53Are we gonna lose now?

01:20:55Hey, look.

01:20:56My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.

01:21:00But there's more to this world than just cups, stars, and...

01:21:06Don't ask science.

01:21:08Right?

01:21:16I have one more dish to go.

01:21:23It's impossible.

01:21:24No chef could win the culinary cup with only five minutes.

01:21:27And with no ingredients?

01:21:29If anyone could, it's Chef Rivers.

01:21:31The best student I've ever had.

01:21:33What are you doing?

01:21:34We have only five minutes.

01:21:38The first one is the best peisty.

01:21:39One is the best peeping equipment for three minutes.

01:21:40I'm staying here.

01:21:41You are eating, but I have only one of them...

01:21:42Yes.

01:21:43The first one is asking you to go.

01:21:44Yeah.

01:21:45I have one next time.

01:21:46I have to cover them.

01:21:47It is all over.

01:21:48You are sleeping in the middle.

01:21:49Yeah.

01:21:50I'm fine.

01:21:51I'm fine.

01:21:52You're with me.

01:21:53What are you doing?

01:21:54I'm fine.

01:21:55I'm fine.

01:21:56You're with me.

01:21:57You are too.

01:21:58You are so salty.

01:21:59What's this?

01:22:19She seems to have frozen in place.

01:22:21Is she choking?

01:22:27For you, Mark.

01:22:29For you, Mark.

01:22:59I call it Cloud Eggs, because behind the cloudy white is a red sun ready to shine.

01:23:15Do you like it?

01:23:23You know, I'm going to be the greatest chef in the world.

01:23:27Really?

01:23:29Maybe I will, too.

01:23:31Then we should cook together.

01:23:33You could be my soul chef.

01:23:34You mean, soul chef.

01:23:37Pretty sure it's soul chef.

01:23:40Let's go.

01:23:42Mark, where are you?

01:23:44Take my cookbook.

01:23:45So we could cook together again.

01:24:03It's you.

01:24:03It's always been you.

01:24:08Chef Maya Miller was my mother.

01:24:11And you kept my notebook.

01:24:14All those years.

01:24:15You're my first soul chef.

01:24:22One, four, three, two, one.

01:24:28And the winner of this year's Culinary Cup, by default, is Vanessa Leron.

01:24:35Yes!

01:24:37That's my girl.

01:24:39That's my girl.

01:24:39Eat it, Haley.

01:24:40Eat it.

01:24:41You loser.

01:24:42Yes!

01:24:43Well, I'm sorry I lied to you about who I am, and for being a spy.

01:24:51I'm sorry that I was such a dick.

01:24:56I'm an asshole.

01:24:58So apparently you can't be both.

01:25:02Haley, can you forgive me?

01:25:09Haley, can you forgive me?

01:25:13Only if you forgive me first.

01:25:20My mother spent their whole lives chasing that cup.

01:25:23Yeah.

01:25:24And they bust themselves to win it.

01:25:27We win!

01:25:28You lose!

01:25:30How's it feel to eat my leftovers?

01:25:32Now you're not the only millionaire in town with a hot chef girlfriend.

01:25:37You got that wrong.

01:25:38Oh, do I?

01:25:40I am a billionaire, not a millionaire.

01:25:43Okay.

01:25:45Prove it.

01:25:47Okay.

01:25:48I can afford to serve another knuckle sandwich.

01:25:52In your face!

01:26:00Congratulations. You are a shitty person, but a good chef. I just hope we can heal.

01:26:25So, let's talk business. Where do you want to open Mother's Table?

01:26:30In case you still want to cook with me.

01:26:32Oh, I want to do a lot more.

01:26:35Me too.

01:26:49Hailey, ever since we were kids, you showed me what flavor really means. Not just in food, but in life.

01:26:57You're not just my love. You're my first. You're my last forever soul, Chef.

01:27:08Hailey, brothers.

01:27:09Do you want to marry me?

01:27:11Yes, Chef.

01:27:24I love you.

01:27:25I love you.

01:27:26You too.

01:27:36Hey, you two. Get a room. Or a restaurant.

01:27:40Sorry. Sometimes you get a little carried away.

01:27:46Well, thank you all for being here today. This is a special occasion for my wife and I.

01:27:51I've always dreamed of building a restaurant and I couldn't have asked for a better partner than Mark.

01:27:55Mother's Table is an all-day brunch spot that celebrates that food can be simple yet delicious.

01:28:01Now we all know that baker, Chef De Laurentiis, is a great chef.

01:28:06Today, besides our beautiful food, we have special exciting news to share.

01:28:12I've got a bun in the oven. Woo!

01:28:17Okay, okay, everybody. Enough talking. Let's get cooking.

01:28:22Yeah!

01:28:23Woo!

01:28:28Every day I need another taste of you.

01:28:31Taste of you.

01:28:33I love you.

01:28:38For real quick, I'm so pleased for you.

01:28:50Part of you.

01:28:54I love you.
