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,
00:00:20and Haley Riggs.
00:00:26My dream has always been to bring the Culinary Cup
00:00:31and crush Marc De Laurentiis.
00:00:33But now that I'm so close,
00:00:36why does victory taste so bitter?
00:00:40From now on, the only words out of your mouth
00:00:43are going to be, yes, chef.
00:00:45Yes, chef.
00:00:47Give it up for our valedictorian, Haley Rivers.
00:00:57Yeah, Haley!
00:00:58I'm Diego, manager of Desire.
00:01:01Would you like to work under our head chef, Marc De Laurentiis?
00:01:05Father, I'm in.
00:01:20Revenge is best served cold.
00:01:24And soon we will feast.
00:01:26Salt, pepper, butter.
00:01:35Simple.
00:01:36And yet, deceptively complex.
00:01:43And that's how you cook a proper steak, okay?
00:01:47What is that?
00:01:52Is that good?
00:01:53Smell it.
00:01:55It's not good.
00:01:56It's a fucking piece of trash!
00:01:59Take your hand from nothing.
00:02:01The fire.
00:02:03Am I stuttering?
00:02:08So who won the cup?
00:02:14I...
00:02:15I'm so, so sorry.
00:02:22I slipped.
00:02:23I...
00:02:24Who let you in?
00:02:25Marc.
00:02:26This is Haley.
00:02:27She just graduated from your alma mater,
00:02:30top of her class,
00:02:31with a focus on pastries.
00:02:37You should know not to be late.
00:02:40I'm sorry.
00:02:41It was just two minutes.
00:02:42Two minutes?
00:02:43That is the difference between a rare and a well-done steak.
00:02:49I want you to cook me a steak.
00:02:55Have we met before?
00:02:57No way.
00:02:59Does he remember me?
00:03:05You have three chances to cook me a steak to satisfy me.
00:03:09Or you'll be fired.
00:03:26Just what I would expect from a pastry chef.
00:03:30You didn't even try it.
00:03:31Less butter.
00:03:32It's not a fucking croissant.
00:03:39This is drier than the fucking Sahara.
00:03:41More butter.
00:03:44I know.
00:03:46My secret ingredient.
00:03:47My favorite ingredient.
00:03:48I'm reading it.
00:03:49I'm reading it.
00:03:53I'm reading it.
00:03:59I'm reading it.
00:04:00It tastes familiar.
00:04:18Did you lose Broby?
00:04:20Yes.
00:04:22How did you know?
00:04:24Who taught you how to cook?
00:04:26My mother.
00:04:30He took another bite.
00:04:32He never takes a second bite of the same dish.
00:04:35Your mother was a proper chef.
00:04:39Unlike you, you're in cleanup, do you, from now on?
00:04:43Let the grease and the grime remind you to never be late in my kitchen again.
00:04:51Thank you, chef.
00:04:52Thank you, 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.
00:05:01Yes, chef.
00:05:02Yes, chef!
00:05:02Yes, chef.
00:05:03Yes, chef.
00:05:09Hey, um, are you okay?
00:05:11Yeah, all good.
00:05:12I was just cutting onions.
00:05:14It's okay.
00:05:17You can trust me.
00:05:18I 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
00:05:26on him.
00:05:27Mark De Laurentiis may have a great ass, but he is an overrated asshole.
00:05:32In my office, now.
00:05:43Stand!
00:05:45Chef, I'm very sorry about everything I said.
00:05:48Which part?
00:05:50That I'm an overrated asshole.
00:05:56Or that I have a great ass.
00:06:00That part I meant.
00:06:01Am I fired?
00:06:13Why do you look familiar?
00:06:14Yeah.
00:06:24Got me coming back for more.
00:06:27One taste ain't enough.
00:06:28No one.
00:06:29I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:06:31Got me feeling high, feeling low.
00:06:33Feeling things I never knew before.
00:06:35Can't get enough.
00:06:38I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:06:40Taste of you.
00:06:41Guess who found a new buyer for his app. We're going to be filthy rich.
00:06:47What? That's amazing.
00:06:49I know.
00:06:50Attaboy! Hey, I am so proud of you, son.
00:06:56If you only had half of Adrian's ambition, or brains, have a seat.
00:07:02Ooh, nice. Bon Appetit.
00:07:06So, how's Desire? When did you meet Marquette?
00:07:10I did. He was...interesting.
00:07:16Interesting? What do you mean? Like, attractive?
00:07:23Hayley, what about the recipe? Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.
00:07:29I want to work with you at the Golden Table and continue Mom's legacy.
00:07:34And you will, after you get revenge for your mother.
00:07:38Now, the Golden Table used to be the number one restaurant in Los Angeles until Ingrid De Laurentiis stole your mom's recipes and beat her in the culinary cup.
00:07:49I know what I have to do. Steal their recipes, and then I will beat Mark in the culinary cup.
00:07:55Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.
00:07:58I don't even know where to look.
00:08:00During last year's culinary cup, he kept referring to a red notebook. It must be in there.
00:08:07Hmm.
00:08:08A red notebook. I...I've seen it.
00:08:14Okay, listen up, chefs. Tonight we are serving my newest creation. First, we need to try it.
00:08:32What did I tell you about being late?
00:08:37Are you not impressed?
00:08:51It's okay.
00:08:58The recipes are on your stations.
00:09:02Let's get cooking, come on!
00:09:04Yes, chef!
00:09:06This is not my recipe.
00:09:17It's better.
00:09:19What did you just say?
00:09:21Um, I asked, uh, is it better?
00:09:25Follow me.
00:09:41No!
00:09:42I gotta try this out.
00:09:46It's pretty good.
00:09:51It's pretty good.
00:09:52It's pretty good.
00:09:53Oh, that's so good.
00:10:00Right here.
00:10:04Take off your apron.
00:10:08If I'm fired, you can just tell me.
00:10:10Take off your apron.
00:10:26I want you.
00:10:28To teach me recipes.
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?
00:10:44My last name is D-Lau-Rentis.
00:10:47My ancestors, they basically invented the sauce.
00:10:49What's wrong with the sauce?
00:10:50Okay, Godfather.
00:10:51I didn't mean to offend you.
00:10:52Can I show you something?
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54Go ahead.
00:10:55Okay.
00:10:56So, instead of parsley, I use a dash of throwby.
00:10:58Throwby.
00:10:59Yeah.
00:11:00It's a Greek herb.
00:11:01I know what throwby is.
00:11:02Okay.
00:11:03I knew a girl once.
00:11:04Actually, she was a lot like you.
00:11:06Wow.
00:11:07A lot like me.
00:11:08That's...
00:11:09What?
00:11:10What?
00:11:11What?
00:11:12What?
00:11:13What?
00:11:14What?
00:11:15What?
00:11:16What?
00:11:17What?
00:11:18What?
00:11:19What?
00:11:20What?
00:11:21What?
00:11:22What?
00:11:23What?
00:11:24What?
00:11:25What?
00:11:26What?
00:11:27What?
00:11:28What?
00:11:29What?
00:11:30What?
00:11:31What?
00:11:32Do you want to try?
00:11:33Yeah.
00:11:34Will I?
00:11:35Okay.
00:11:52I...
00:11:53I...
00:11:54I think the tomato sauce is burnt off.
00:11:56Okay.
00:11:57Hey.
00:11:58Calm down.
00:11:59That's easy to say if you don't have a Michelin-star restaurant with over 400 covers a night.
00:12:05Okay, maybe you need to chill.
00:12:07You're gonna lose a star if you keep rushing like this.
00:12:11In my kitchen, I tell you what to do.
00:12:14I want you to go home.
00:12:17Now!
00:12:20Jerk.
00:12:29Why does this feel wrong?
00:12:34Remember what he did to your mom and the golden table.
00:12:40What are you doing?
00:12:44I thought that's mine.
00:12:48I have the exact same one.
00:12:51Okay, I believe you.
00:12:54You're definitely not like that Dominique.
00:12:56Uh, Dominique?
00:12:58Marc's ex sous chef slash ex-fiance.
00:13:01Ex-fiance?
00:13:02What happened?
00:13:04Well, what always happens when two beautiful chefs get cooking in a hot kitchen together?
00:13:09Spicy romance.
00:13:12But she ended up breaking his heart and stealing his recipes.
00:13:19And Marc vowed to never trust anyone ever again.
00:13:22Except me, of course.
00:13:23Of course.
00:13:27I guess he wasn't always a dick, huh?
00:13:35So first I'm an asshole and now a dick.
00:13:39Baby, you need to choose what I am.
00:13:42Because I can't be both.
00:13:48You're cut for tonight.
00:13:51Um, maybe tomorrow I can stop by, help with the recipes.
00:13:56For the culinary cup.
00:13:58Come early.
00:13:58I have some private tasting for you.
00:14:04What are you smiling about?
00:14:21Adrian, what are you doing here?
00:14:24I wanted to surprise you.
00:14:26Where have you been?
00:14:27Oh, um, chef kept us late.
00:14:31Chef, huh?
00:14:33You know, generally people don't smile about having overtime.
00:14:36Wow.
00:14:37I love to cook.
00:14:39You know that.
00:14:40Oh, if you love cooking so much, then make me dinner.
00:14:43I miss your smell and taste.
00:14:59Come on.
00:15:00I'm busy, Marc.
00:15:02Marc, what did you just call me?
00:15:05Oh, oh God, I'm sorry.
00:15:08I'm so tired.
00:15:09I demand you quit desire.
00:15:12Quit desire?
00:15:14Not now.
00:15:15I'm not asking.
00:15:16But I'm so close.
00:15:18Tonight when I was alone with him, he almost let me see his notebook.
00:15:21You were alone with Marc?
00:15:23We were cooking.
00:15:24Just cooking.
00:15:26You know what?
00:15:26That's it.
00:15:27I've had enough of this.
00:15:28I've tolerated your stupid little chef dream for long enough.
00:15:32This is too far.
00:15:33I forbid you from working for Marc De Laurentiis.
00:15:36You forbid me.
00:15:43Baby, I'm sorry.
00:15:45I'm sorry.
00:15:46I hate the idea of him even laying a finger on you.
00:15:51I mean, you hate him, right?
00:16:00Right?
00:16:01Of course, of course, I hate Marc De Laurentiis.
00:16:04I'm only running for one thing.
00:16:08Revenge.
00:16:23Oh, you're early.
00:16:26Come on, you inspired me last night, so I thought you would be the first one to try my new dish.
00:16:34What do you think?
00:16:43Be honest.
00:16:44It's good.
00:16:46Your meat, the truffle, it's flawless.
00:16:49It's really good.
00:16:50Good.
00:16:53Do you think God will win the Culinary Cup?
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.
00:17:10It needs a deep tissue massage.
00:17:13Okay, okay, okay, relax, relax.
00:17:22Jeez.
00:17:23Gentle.
00:17:23You have to love the dough.
00:17:26Okay, so knead.
00:17:29Knee.
00:17:30Stretch.
00:17:31Stretch.
00:17:32Stretch.
00:17:32Fold.
00:17:34There you go, gentle.
00:18:02Gentle.
00:18:04Feels good.
00:18:06There, just like that.
00:18:19There, good.
00:18:21Not too fast.
00:18:23Do you feel it?
00:18:24Yeah.
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.
00:18:43Now.
00:18:51That's amazing.
00:19:11That's amazing.
00:19:19I guess certain privileges come with your new position.
00:19:33What new position?
00:19:49Whatever 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?
00:20:08I'm just playing with you, prep girl.
00:20:10Good for you.
00:20:12Living my dream.
00:20:14But if you're going to sneak around the kitchen, be sure to clean up your messes.
00:20:18Like that hickey on your neck.
00:20:21No, it's from my boyfriend.
00:20:23Boyfriend?
00:20:24What's his name?
00:20:26Adrienne Blackwell.
00:20:27Adrienne Blackwell.
00:20:30I should be heading out.
00:20:31Haley.
00:20:40Why are you still here?
00:20:42Chef, we need to talk.
00:20:47What's wrong?
00:20:47What happened was a mistake.
00:20:55I mean, I don't want to, like, offend you.
00:20:58Obviously, I was into it.
00:21:00I, I...
00:21:01But, uh...
00:21:03My dish?
00:21:06Or my kiss?
00:21:09Both.
00:21:12You'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.
00:21:28Why don't you take Vanessa?
00:21:35Please say yes.
00:21:36Say yes, Chef.
00:21:38Vanessa, 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?
00:21:51No, that you have ambition and you have fun doing it.
00:21:54So, 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, um, like, for the culinary company?
00:22:09Yeah.
00:22:09Yeah.
00:22:22Holy shit!
00:22:23What do you want to do?
00:22:26Can we take a camera take?
00:22:27Yes.
00:22:30Thank you so much.
00:22:32You loved us so much.
00:22:33Amazing.
00:22:39Something wrong?
00:22:45Um, I'm just so used to seeing you in an apron.
00:22:49You look divine.
00:22:53After you.
00:22:54Oh, by the way, coffee.
00:22:56Okay.
00:23:02Who the hell is she?
00:23:09Oh my god, I love this song.
00:23:22Don't forget, Hayley.
00:23:23You're here for revenge, not love.
00:23:35Are we almost there?
00:23:42It's about an hour to go.
00:23:53Wow, this is a really beautiful view.
00:23:56Yeah, isn't it beautiful?
00:23:57Was he referring to me or the view?
00:24:00Howdy, Mark.
00:24:02Hey, how you doing?
00:24:03Look at this.
00:24:04Um, 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?
00:24:30I have no idea what he's talking about.
00:24:34You are clearly the first one I brought here.
00:24:43Thanks.
00:24:47This is where we're gonna source all the greens and fruits for desire.
00:24:50Do you like it?
00:24:51Somehow it already feels like home.
00:24:52You bought it?
00:25:01The farm.
00:25:02That means we have access to the herb garden too.
00:25:05So, maybe we can plant some fruit.
00:25:10Come on, let me show you something.
00:25:11We have spaghetti squash, Jerusalem artichokes, and our beautiful lemons.
00:25:21Feel free to take one.
00:25:24Come on, let's try one.
00:25:26Take one.
00:25:27Take one.
00:25:32I got something on your chin.
00:25:37Can I get it?
00:25:38No, right here. May I?
00:25:47Hello, I want to show you our lifestyle.
00:25:50Come on, where are we?
00:25:55Hello, welcome.
00:25:57Mark De Laurentiis, the king's suite as usual.
00:26:00Mr. De Laurentiis, unfortunately we lost all our reservations.
00:26:05We only have one single room with one bed.
00:26:11Uh, what? One bed?
00:26:14Yes. Oh, no. No, no.
00:26:18Just tell me, what is it going to take?
00:26:22Mr. De Laurentiis, trust me.
00:26:27I would love to help you out.
00:26:29How does that sound?
00:26:32Would that be enough?
00:26:35Really, we cannot accommodate your request. I wish I could.
00:26:39A second room, then.
00:26:40Oh, we are fully booked. I'm so sorry.
00:26:43Can I talk to the manager, please?
00:26:45Sir, um, I am the manager.
00:26:48To the owner, then, because I'm going to buy this hotel and I'm going to fire you.
00:26:53Stop, relax, safe firing for the restaurant.
00:26:55Uh, we will...
00:26:57Take the room!
00:26:59Fine.
00:27:00I am going to take the couch.
00:27:02The room doesn't have a couch.
00:27:05Perfect your old set.
00:27:07Have a great night.
00:27:13Well, I am going to sleep in my car.
00:27:16No!
00:27:17What?
00:27:18Mark, it...
00:27:19It's been a long day.
00:27:22We can...
00:27:23Share the bed?
00:27:28Well, okay.
00:27:30If you insist, we are two adults, so...
00:27:33What's the worst thing that could happen?
00:27:38I have to go.
00:27:40I'm sorry.
00:27:47What about this, Hayley?
00:27:49He's...
00:27:50Not even that attractive.
00:28:03Right.
00:28:06Not that attractive.
00:28:07Oh!
00:28:08Uh...
00:28:09Sorry.
00:28:10It doesn't change it.
00:28:11No, I've got a lot of looking.
00:28:12Um, that's okay.
00:28:13Got it wrong.
00:28:14Uh-uh.
00:28:15I...
00:28:16I...
00:28:17Oh!
00:28:18You...
00:28:19Oh.
00:28:20You...
00:28:21Oh.
00:28:22You...
00:28:23Look...
00:28:24I...
00:28:25I...
00:28:26I...
00:28:27I...
00:28:28I...
00:28:29I...
00:28:30I...
00:28:31I...
00:28:32I...
00:28:33I...
00:28:34I...
00:28:35I...
00:28:36I...
00:28:37I...
00:28:38Oh!
00:28:39Sorry.
00:28:40I...
00:28:41I'm sorry.
00:28:42I didn't think we'd be sharing a room.
00:28:43So...
00:28:44Are you cold?
00:28:45Here, take the shirt.
00:28:46Oh!
00:28:47No, I...
00:28:48I think that would probably be a bad idea.
00:28:51It looks...
00:28:52bumpy, right?
00:28:54Yeah.
00:28:55Yeah, we should get into bed today.
00:28:57I mean...
00:28:58Ha!
00:28:59To sleep.
00:29:00So...
00:29:02You're gonna take the left side?
00:29:04Yeah.
00:29:05Good night.
00:29:06Good night.
00:29:07Good night.
00:29:08Good night.
00:29:09Good night.
00:29:10Good night.
00:29:11What is he doing?
00:29:12Can I ask you a question?
00:29:13When did you know you wanted to be a chef?
00:29:14When I was four.
00:29:15When I was four.
00:29:16On my birthday.
00:29:17My mom got me this.
00:29:18kitchen plate.
00:29:19My mom got me this.
00:29:20kitchen plate set.
00:29:21And, uh...
00:29:22never wanted to play with anything else.
00:29:23I just...
00:29:24everything's been there.
00:29:26Had to, uh...
00:29:27nothing more would have to share.
00:29:28More bravely than I know you wanted to be a chef.
00:29:29And she didn't get away.
00:29:30You are everything.
00:29:31Always...
00:29:32Get away!
00:29:33Ow...
00:29:34Even now go crazy.

00:29:41What?
00:29:42What?
00:29:43Is he doing?
00:29:44Can I ask you a question?
00:29:45When did you know you wanted to be a chef?
00:29:46When I was four.
00:29:48Kitchen play set and I never wanted to play with anything else. I remember playing too
00:29:55Family's friend. I hated being a chef. So it changed
00:30:03I actually started liking to be a chef at the
00:30:07The golden table. I used to play cooking with the chef's daughter at her little kitchen play set
00:30:15You always thought about that one little pot
00:30:24The red one
00:30:27How'd you know oh
00:30:34Like I said I had the same one so didn't didn't everyone
00:30:39Yeah
00:30:45As we got older
00:30:47We started creating our own recipes
00:30:50I'll call it crowd eggs
00:30:52Then we could cook together
00:30:54You can be me, Soul Chef
00:30:56You mean, Sue Chef
00:31:00Started cooking our first dishes
00:31:02Seeing her cook was so
00:31:06Great
00:31:07She was so alive, so happy
00:31:09And I think that changed something in me and I wanted to be a chef
00:31:16But I wish I could cook with her again
00:31:19Maybe you can
00:31:21She's actually a lot like you
00:31:22She always used to throw 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
00:31:43Who was that thief?
00:31:46I mean, tell me and I will destroy the restaurant
00:31:51Her name
00:31:53Her name was
00:31:58Who's that boyfriend?
00:31:59Oh, um
00:32:02It's my dad
00:32:03Do you mind?
00:32:05No
00:32:05Go ahead
00:32:13Hello?
00:32:15Hayley
00:32:16Where are you?
00:32:17I'm at your place
00:32:18Look, I
00:32:19I have an early morning
00:32:21I'll explain later
00:32:23I know
00:32:24I got back early
00:32:24I have huge news
00:32:27Where were you?
00:32:28There was an emergency with our suppliers
00:32:30But I'm upstate at a farm with Mark
00:32:33I'll be back
00:32:35What?
00:32:36Upstate?
00:32:38Mark?
00:32:40So first, it's overtime
00:32:42Now a business trip and you're sleeping with him?
00:32:44I'll be back

00:32:51Okay?

00:32:52We'll be back
00:33:22I love you.
00:33:41Morning.
00:33:43Um, coffee?
00:33:45Oh, um...
00:33:50I, uh, have to get home before it's dark.
00:33:54Your dad is kinda strict.
00:33:57I wonder what we can get done in a couple of hours.
00:34:20I never knew before.
00:34:22Can't get enough.
00:34:23No, I can't.
00:34:24I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:34:26Taste of you.
00:34:28Give me that taste of your love.
00:34:30Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:34:32Can't get enough love.
00:34:34Ah!
00:34:40You got this, Hailey.
00:34:42The sooner you tell Adrian about Mark, the better.
00:34:50Surprise!
00:34:54I have never seen you dance or smile in the kitchen before.
00:34:59Who are you and what have you done with Mark?
00:35:03Shhh.
00:35:04Shhh.
00:35:05Shhh.
00:35:06Shhh.
00:35:07Shhh.
00:35:08Shhh.
00:35:09Shhh.
00:35:10I have never seen you dance or smile in the kitchen before.
00:35:16Who are you and what have you done with Mark?
00:35:18Shhh.
00:35:19Shhh.
00:35:20Shhh.
00:35:21Shhh.
00:35:22I met someone, okay?
00:35:24Not someone.
00:35:25The one.
00:35:26Really?
00:35:27Well, what's her name?
00:35:28Where did you meet?
00:35:29And I want to know everything.
00:35:30I don't want to jinx you.
00:35:31Surprise!
00:35:32Come on, babe.
00:35:33Come on.
00:35:34Come on.
00:35:35Come on.
00:35:36Yeah.
00:35:37Oh, my birthday's not for another month.
00:35:39I invited all of us here today to share.
00:35:41Shhh.
00:35:42Shhh.
00:35:43Shhh.
00:35:44Shhh.
00:35:45Shhh.
00:35:46Shhh.
00:35:47Shhh.
00:35:48Shhh.
00:35:49Shhh.
00:35:50Shhh.
00:35:51Shhh.
00:35:52Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell, I ...
00:35:56Uhh.
00:35:57Here.
00:35:58And ...
00:35:59I've ...
00:36:01Adrian, what's going on?
00:36:02First, I'd like to tell everyone here that you are now looking at
00:36:06America's newest millionaire.
00:36:09Whoo-hoo!!
00:36:10Wooo-hoo!!
00:36:11You sold the company, congratulations!
00:36:13Now that we're rich...
00:36:15I think it's time to move on to our next chapter.
00:36:20Haley Rivers, will you marry me?
00:36:33Mark, slow down, all right?
00:36:35Remember what happened with Dominique?
00:36:37Your crazy ex.
00:36:39No, she is not like Dominique, okay?
00:36:40She's different.
00:36:41She makes me believe in cooking again.
00:36:43And she makes me believe in...
00:36:44Love, no, don't you say it, all right?
00:36:47You're scaring me.
00:36:47I don't like this happy dancing Mark.
00:36:50All right.
00:36:59Going to be in forever.
00:37:00Kind of need to say something.
00:37:05That's a yes!
00:37:06That's a yes!
00:37:08It fits.
00:37:12Congratulations, honey.
00:37:14Wow.
00:37:15We're millions of years!
00:37:17Oh, yeah.
00:37:20I would also like to announce that I will be buying the golden table as a gift to my new fiancée.
00:37:28Signed this morning.
00:37:30Oh, God.
00:37:31What?
00:37:33Adrian, why don't we talk?
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:35Okay, give us one second.
00:37:38It's done.
00:37:39You no longer have to work for that smug bastard, daylor, rent, or whatever, okay?
00:37:42You can just stay home.
00:37:44Diego, you are my best friend.
00:37:47My only friend.
00:37:50She's the right one.
00:37:51Trust me.
00:37:55Fuck, 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 camp.
00:38:05But I'm this close to getting Mark's recipes.
00:38:13Mark?
00:38:13Ow.
00:38:14What the?
00:38:15Hayley, what is going on?
00:38:16Do you love him?
00:38:18Adrian, I...
00:38:19No.
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.
00:38:48Listen up, team!
00:38:49Now that we are all here, I have some news.
00:38:53I have to come clean and tell you that Hayley and I...
00:38:59Hayley and I perfected De Laurentiis beef wellington.
00:39:09From today moving onwards, Hayley is going to be promoted to be a sous chef.
00:39:14And 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?
00:39:26It would be an honor, chef.
00:39:27Hayley, what are you saying?
00:39:28Hayley, what are you saying?
00:39:29Hayley, what are you saying?
00:39:30Okay, guys.
00:39:31So 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!
00:39:39Yes, chef!
00:39:40Come on!
00:39:42Take your apron off.
00:39:43Um...
00:39:44Okay?
00:39:45What?
00:39:46What?
00:39:47What?
00:39:48What?
00:39:49What?
00:39:50What?
00:39:51What?
00:39:52What?
00:39:53What?
00:39:54What?
00:39:55What?
00:39:56How...
00:39:57What?
00:39:58What?
00:39:59What...
00:40:00Oh, sorry.
00:40:01Oh, sorry.
00:40:02Oh, sorry.
00:40:03Stop.
00:40:04Stop, we have to get back to the kitchen.
00:40:18We can't stop.
00:40:20I am done playing games, okay?
00:40:22Okay?
00:40:23Hailey, I want you.
00:40:26This time for real, Hailey Rose.
00:40:28You don't even know me.
00:40:30I know you.
00:40:31You have the feeling I know you for my whole life.
00:40:34Look, you're smart, you are funny, and you are sexy as hell.
00:40:41And I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:40:48Mark, you have to get back to the kitchen.
00:40:52To the hell with the kitchen.
00:40:54Old Desire can burn, I don't care, okay?
00:40:56Do you feel that?
00:40:59Feel it.
00:41:05My heart is beating for you, and all of you.
00:41:11Fine.
00:41:12Let Desire burn then.
00:41:14I want to be the first time at De Laurentiis let a successful business burn.
00:41:22You did it!
00:41:23So what is he cooking?
00:41:24I don't know.
00:41:25I haven't looked yet.
00:41:26I couldn't.
00:41:27I feel like a cheater.
00:41:28We can now enter the golden table into the culinary cup, and with Mark's recipes, we're sure to win.
00:41:32.
00:41:34Wait, I don't know.
00:41:35Wait, what are you doing?
00:41:38What are you doing?
00:41:39I don't know.
00:41:40You got it.
00:41:41I don't know.
00:41:42What are you doing?
00:41:43How are you doing?
00:41:44I don't know. I haven't looked yet. I couldn't. I feel like a cheater.
00:41:51We can now enter the golden table into the culinary cup and with Mark's recipes, we're sure to win.
00:42:01Wait a minute. Is this a joke?
00:42:07That's his recipe book. These are no Mark's recipes. These are yours.
00:42:14Grilled cheese. Spaghetti. Cloud eggs. What the hell is a cloud egg?
00:42:22This is my handwriting, but I don't even remember writing these.
00:42:26This is from when you were a kid. When 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. I stole this from him.
00:42:37Why would he be reading your childhood recipes?
00:42:40You'd be reading your childhood recipes. Maybe she got him next step. You know,
00:42:46there was this one time where she took my phone instead. Okay. Okay. That was one time. And no,
00:42:51this is his notebook.
00:42:52You are so perfect. Go get this real recipe. Go, go.
00:43:06You know what, Dad?
00:43:08Dad. That's it. I am so over this. I don't know what I can do to make you proud. I graduated top of my
00:43:19class. I became sous chef for Mark De Laurentiis. I don't even think this is about mom's memory.
00:43:26This is just about your petty revenge. Which she totally botched.
00:43:30I'm you. You have treated me like shit ever since you got a taste of success with your shitty little startup.
00:43:46I wouldn't call selling a business for millions stupid.
00:43:49It's a chain.
00:43:52I'm done with both of you.
00:44:03What about golden table? Don't you care for this family?
00:44:07Yes, I care. All I do is think about the golden table, but I'm done.
00:44:12Hey! Get back here!
00:44:34What's going on?
00:44:35Shh! This is my kitchen now. From now on, the only words out of your mouth
00:44:41We're going to be a chef. Yes, chef.
00:44:45Take off your shirt. Yes, chef.
00:45:09Taste me. Yes.
00:45:11Yes, chef.
00:45:26Take me now.
00:45:28Yes, chef.
00:45:29Good morning.
00:45:40I thought it's time for some classic brunch.
00:45:44Hmm? Scramble eggs and croissants?
00:45:47Which is my favorite meal.
00:45:49Mine too.
00:45:50I'm starving. It's good cooking.
00:45:52It's the taste of you, taste of you, taste of you, taste of you, taste, got me coming back for more, gotta have more, get me enough, I'm addicted to the taste of you, got me feeling high, feeling low, feeling things I never knew before, can't get enough, I can't, I can't, I can't, I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:46:17So, how much time do we have?
00:46:20Hmm, about 30 minutes.
00:46:2430 minutes.
00:46:26Why do you have my notebook?
00:46:39I found it. I found it and I have the same one when I was little, so I must have gotten them confused.
00:46:52I belong to her.
00:47:00The girl who made me fall in love with cooking.
00:47:04I call it cloud eggs.
00:47:06You can't be me, soul chef.
00:47:08You mean sous chef.
00:47:09Pretty 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, and I moved to Germany.
00:47:18All those years and you, you still kept that notebook?
00:47:22I mean, everyone has that kind of person, right?
00:47:25I had an impression from childhood.
00:47:28Strangely stick.
00:47:35And somehow, I became my mom, cooking for profit.
00:47:39And sometimes, revenge.
00:47:43Well, it's easy to get lost, cook for the wrong reasons.
00:47:49Until I met you.
00:47:54You made me fall in love, not just with cooking.
00:47:58Mark, I, there's something I have to tell you.
00:48:02Oh, shit.
00:48:11I got called in early for Mother's Day.
00:48:15You ready for Mayhem?
00:48:21I'll tell him tonight.
00:48:22Adrian Blackwell, I work at Desire and I have some information you might be interested in.
00:48:37I'm not interested.
00:48:38Please 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?
00:49:00What does she love the most?
00:49:05Her family restaurant.
00:49:07Have you heard of the golden table?
00:49:10She's the daughter of Chef Maya?
00:49:13On top of stealing my love, she already owns her own restaurant?
00:49:17Hmm, not anymore.
00:49:20Her father sold it to me.
00:49:22I was going to gift it back to Hayley.
00:49:27Now you need a new chef and partner in crime.
00:49:31What flavor of crime are you thinking?
00:49:38I had a few ideas.
00:49:40Look, I don't understand, okay?
00:49:47Chef, our supplier said Hayley cancelled our whole order.
00:49:50Me?
00:49:51What?
00:49:52I...
00:49:53No, I didn't.
00:49:53Look, 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?
00:50:01Chef, it's a worse, but way worse.
00:50:08We've been waiting for an hour.
00:50:10This better be good.
00:50:12I paid thousands.
00:50:14Three Michelin 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?
00:50:26Well, everybody's reservations somehow got booked for the same kind.
00:50:31We're overbooked and we don't have any food.
00:50:41I have the best hackers in Silicon Valley on my payroll.
00:50:44Desire's reservation system's a fucking joke.
00:50:47Hey, and I just canceled all of our supplier shipments for today.
00:50:51So you're telling me there's an angry mob of starving super fans out there?
00:50:56And no food to serve them.
00:51:03I 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.
00:51:22Clear 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!
00:51:33Okay, whatever you deserve 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.
00:51:50Are you mocked, Delorenti?
00:52:00In the flash, Ken.
00:52:01How would you like to be our supplier for today?
00:52:03We need protein.
00:52:06We have chicken nuggets.
00:52:09Chicken nuggets?
00:52:10What are we doing with chicken nuggets?
00:52:13We could deconstruct these, potato chips, wasabi peas, crusted chicken with soy sauce,
00:52:21honey reduction glaze, sweet and sour umami.
00:52:25Yes, and instant ramen for extra texture.
00:52:28What are you thinking for dessert?
00:52:36What are you thinking for dessert?
00:52:37Ah, okay, we have ice cream.
00:52:39Do you have coffee?
00:52:41Yes, we do, but we just ran out, but I couldn't brew some more.
00:52:46What are you thinking, Karen Masoud?
00:52:52How much of a risk are you willing to take on me?
00:52:58Can we do whatever it takes?
00:53:00Okay, coffee, please.
00:53:02Yes, yes, coffee.
00:53:10And how are we doing tonight, gentlemen?
00:53:14It's taking that so long.
00:53:21Okay, chefs, come on, we're already late.
00:53:23Let's cook like we've never cooked before, okay?
00:53:26Yeah.
00:53:26Let's go.
00:53:28Chicken nuggets.
00:53:37One for the peas.
00:53:51Dinner is served, everyone.
00:53:52Now, we know this is not our usual menu tonight, so we appreciate you all for being so flexible.
00:54:01And because it's Mother's Day, everything is on the house.
00:54:05Are you ready to make something sweet?
00:54:17Are you ready to make something sweet?
00:54:19Chef?
00:54:28Oh my god, this is so good.
00:54:30This is so good.
00:54:31You should try it.
00:54:32Chef, why are you eating the slurpees?
00:54:35Have you never had rumble to work?
00:54:36No.
00:54:37I'm clearly missing it.
00:54:38Okay, that's great.
00:54:47Okay, that's great.
00:54:49And for our last dish of the night, we present a wild berry granita.
00:54:55Enjoy.
00:54:58Thank you for letting us leave.
00:55:02Wow, just off tips alone, that 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.
00:55:14Oh, and Mark, there's a VIP guest here who wanted to give his personal compliments to the chef.
00:55:28Yeah, please, take a seat.
00:55:36Now, I 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, complaints.
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?
00:56:09Hmm.
00:56:12Well, you could start by firing her.
00:56:17Um, well, I am sorry to say, but our sous chef is irreplaceable, I desire.
00:56:28I get it now.
00:56:30You two are fucking.
00:56:33Tell me, how long has this been going on, you slut?
00:56:36Hey, watch it.
00:56:43Where have you been doing it?
00:56:45The kitchen?
00:56:46Are 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.
00:57:19So 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...
00:57:36I'm not who you think I am.
00:57:38I'm not who you think I am.
00:57:48Who are you?
00:57:54My mom left that year.
00:57:56She said that is one of her most cherished memories.
00:58:00Do you know her?
00:58:00Chef 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?
00:58:18Your 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?
00:58:35Why did your mom make several of Chef Maya's dishes at the culinary cup, huh?
00:58:41See?
00:58:42He'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?
00:58:58I 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.
00:59:14No, I don't believe you.
00:59:16And that's when Chef Maya's husband started visiting you off.
00:59:20No, stop.
00:59:22It's not true.
00:59:23It is true.
00:59:27Wait, why are you so emotional?
00:59:30Do you work for the golden table?
00:59:33Out 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.
00:59:50So this is all fate?
00:59:55You and me?
00:59:57No, Mark.
00:59:58I'm, it was, but it's...
00:59:59Get out!
01:00:00Mark, please, I can explain.
01:00:04I'm...
01:00:04What else did you lie about, huh?
01:00:06Are you married?
01:00:08Do you have kids?
01:00:09I...
01:00:09I was engaged.
01:00:16Engaged?
01:00:20Holy shit.
01:00:22To 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.
01:00:39So Diego was right.
01:00:42You're just like Dominique.
01:00:46You're fired!
01:00:48Hayley, Elizabeth, whoever the fuck you are, get out.
01:00:54Get out!
01:01:09Hello.
01:01:21Yes, this is Hayley Robertson.
01:01:24Oh 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 it.
01:01:38What do you think?
01:01:40Oh!
01:01:41Who took it to what?
01:01:42Adrian!
01:01:43He keeps me out.
01:01:45He took the golden table from us, Hayley.
01:01:48No, no, 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 golden table back for us,
01:01:59for your mother, for us, for us, for you.
01:02:02Ah!
01:02:03Ah!
01:02:03Ah!
01:02:04Ah!
01:02:04Ah!
01:02:05Wait!
01:02:05Scancliffe!
01:02:06She took me going to the recording of the rest.
01:02:13Well, well, well.
01:02:14If it isn't my ex-fiancé.
01:02:16Adrian, 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.
01:02:35I can anything.
01:02:37But 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!
01:02:46My BFF!
01:02:48How does it feel to be stabbed in the back?
01:02:51Vanessa?
01:02:52I thought we were friends.
01:02:56Friends?
01:02:56After you stole Mark and my dream job?
01:03:00Friends?
01:03:07We can't wait to destroy you and your new little boy toy.
01:03:12What are you two planning?
01:03:14Well, you'll have to find out for yourself at the culinary cup.
01:03:17Or not.
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.
01:03:35Hayley, it's okay.
01:03:37Sit.
01:03:44Why did you make me a spy?
01:03:45Why? Why did you send me into desire?
01:03:51Ingrid De Laurentiis ruined our lives.
01:03:56And the apple certainly doesn't far 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.
01:04:15Okay.
01:04:20It's time to tell you the truth.
01:04:22The truth is, your mother, she wanted to close the golden table and 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.
01:05:03And you've got to understand, Ingrid and I, we were in love.
01:05:07Not just with each other.
01:05:10With fame, fortune, glory.
01:05:12And then when your mother, she lost the competition.
01:05:22She got sick.
01:05:25She couldn't cook.
01:05:26She couldn't eat.
01:05:28And she had to use the feeding tube.
01:05:30It was torture.
01:05:35When she died, so did Archery.
01:05:39We were so guilty.
01:05:41I'm sorry.
01:05:42I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:43Then why the obsession with taking down the De Laurentises?
01:05:49To keep your mom's legacy alive.
01:05:52The 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, community.
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 going to 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.
01:06:44Please, just let me be.
01:06:49You're dismissed.
01:06:53Fucking hell.
01:06:54Chef, I was always invisible to you.
01:07:06I heard that the competition is going to be explosive this year.
01:07:11Do you know what happens when dry ice needs boiling water?
01:07:14Good luck, Chef.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:25Mark!
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 this weekend.
01:07:34What are you going to do?
01:07:37Can you be my suit, Chef?
01:07:38Yes, Chef.
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.
01:07:53I'm so sorry, Pumpkin.
01:07:57Let's just let bygones be bygones.
01:07:59Because now, all I want is for you to be happy.
01:08:07Pumpkin, how's life?
01:08:09You're okay.
01:08:12Looks like something's wrong.
01:08:14Dad, I think I might be in love.
01:08:18That's great news.
01:08:20Is he rich?
01:08:22Sorry.
01:08:22That's old heavens.
01:08:26Who is he?
01:08:28Well, he is rich.
01:08:29Ah, 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 going to sabotage the culinary cup,
01:08:55and I don't even have a restaurant to get in, so.
01:08:58Okay, that'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.
01:09:07I 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.
01:09:37Well, that's too bad, because it seems I may have double booked.
01:09:42Next, Vanessa Laurent.
01:09:44Once 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.
01:10:02And you never even bothered to learn my name.
01:10:04Now I am going to crush you and Desire.
01:10:08And finally, our wild card entry from a viral pop-up food cart.
01:10:17Let's welcome.
01:10:28I'm here with Hayley Rivers, whose pop-up food cart, Mother's Table, has gone viral.
01:10:33Hayley, 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.
01:10:45Oh, I love that. And how far can this food cart go?
01:10:49All the way to the culinary cup, across the street, you have 24 hours to vote.
01:10:53And I'm Hayley's father, Vote Mother's Table.
01:10:56Let's welcome Hayley Rivers, Ruffin' Mother's Table.
01:11:00By the end of today, one chef will be crowned the Culinary Cup Champion.
01:11:17Woo!
01:11:17First impressions are everything.
01:11:20So your task is to create an appetizer that introduces you and your taste.
01:11:26The clock is set, your ingredients await.
01:11:30Three, two, one, cook!
01:11:34Time's up, chefs!
01:11:59Now, first up, Chef Laurent.
01:12:01This is my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche.
01:12:06My hope is to invoke a cool ocean breeze with each bite.
01:12:14For the appetizer, I prepared a Wagyu tartar and to balance the heavy flavor,
01:12:20I have balsamic made out of scarlet bell strawberries.
01:12:33Hello, um, hi, judges.
01:12:37At my pop-up Mother's Table, we value comfort.
01:12:41And, uh, two of my favorite things to bake are flans and tarts.
01:12:47So, this is a tart flan.
01:12:50It's fusion?
01:12:51Call me a traditionalist, but I won't ever taste fusion food.
01:12:56It's effortless. It's not fusion. It'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...
01:13:16Haley Rivers!
01:13:21Well, 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,
01:13:28but now you're competing against two of your former chefs.
01:13:33And what do you make of your competitors?
01:13:37That's an easy question.
01:13:39Chef Laurentiis, 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...
01:14:12I...
01:14:17I...
01:14:19think that maybe in another life,
01:14:22in another kitchen, we maybe could have been friends.
01:14:26Or more.
01:14:28Um...
01:14:29Good luck, Vanessa.
01:14:31Marc.
01:14:34Well, 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!
01:14:48Cheese!
01:14:50Saucyosin!
01:15:12I don't know who it is.
01:15:13I don't know who that one is.
01:15:13I don't know.
01:15:14It appears Chef De Laurentiis has dropped his entree.
01:15:22He'll be judged solely on his appetizer alone.
01:15:26Is 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.
01:15:39It'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!
01:16:04And... Chef Hailey Rivers!
01:16:17And how about a round of applause for Chef Mark De Laurentiis?
01:16:27Wait, Mark...
01:16:29Why don't you join Mother's Table?
01:16:35Well, 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.
01:16:48Originally, we were supposed to work together.
01:16:53There are no rules against it, so...
01:16:55It's up to Chef De Laurentiis.
01:17:03I don't know what to say.
01:17:06Except...
01:17:08You're going down, Vanessa.
01:17:11Well, 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?
01:17:27I don't know.
01:17:29I 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!
01:17:41The judges would like to see a signature dish that defines your career.
01:17:44This is your final statement.
01:17:46The last dish you will want to leave on this earth.
01:17:48Let's get started.
01:17:503...2...1...
01:17:511...2...1...
01:17:521...2...1...
01:18:05I need this.
01:18:07Okay.
01:18:08If we want to do this, we have to stop fighting, okay?
01:18:11Think.
01:18:12What are our strengths?
01:18:14Well, you are the protein king, so...
01:18:17Please don't call me.
01:18:18What?
01:18:19You have the best meat I've ever tasted.
01:18:23Okay, you can say that again.
01:18:26Okay.
01:18:28Um, and you are clearly the pastry queen.
01:18:33So...
01:18:34So what's something that showcases both of our talents?
01:18:40What?
01:18:42You make the pastry queen.
01:18:43Okay.
01:18:44And I make the cinderling.
01:18:45Got it.
01:19:01Well, you've always been rough.
01:19:03Okay.
01:19:04All right.
01:19:05Give me your meat.
01:19:06Well, it's time to make it a rice, huh?
01:19:22Now for my signature garnish.
01:19:25Wow!
01:19:26It looks like Chef Laurent's finished.
01:19:27With ten minutes to spare.
01:19:28Wow!
01:19:29It looks like Chef Laurent's finished.
01:19:30With ten minutes to spare.
01:19:31What do you want?
01:19:32I just wanted to say...
01:19:33I'm sorry.
01:19:34For everything.
01:19:35Will you forgive me for the damage that I've caused?
01:19:36Mom.
01:19:37What do you want?
01:19:38I just wanted to say...
01:19:39I'm sorry.
01:19:40For everything.
01:19:41Will you forgive me for the damage that I've caused?
01:19:42Mark.
01:19:43No hurt feelings, right?
01:19:45What do you want?
01:19:48I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything.
01:19:54Will you forgive me for the damage that I've caused?
01:20:06Mark, no hurt feelings, right?
01:20:12No.
01:20:15Your signature shallots.
01:20:17What an explosive garnish.
01:20:33Hey!
01:20:42Hey.
01:20:43Hey.
01:20:44Are you okay?
01:20:45No.
01:20:46Did any oil hit you?
01:20:47No, I'm fine, I'm fine.
01:20:49I...
01:20:50It's Pete Wellington.
01:20:51It's...
01:20:52It's ruined.
01:20:54Are we gonna lose now?
01:20:55Hey, look.
01:20:57My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.
01:21:00But there's some more to this world than just cups, stars, and...
01:21:01Donna science.
01:21:02Right?
01:21:03I have one more dish to go.
01:21:07Donna science.
01:21:08Right?
01:21:09I have one more dish to go.
01:21:14It's impossible.
01:21:15No chef could win the culinary cup with only five minutes.
01:21:16And with no ingredients?
01:21:17If anyone could, it's Chef Rivers.
01:21:18The best student I've ever had.
01:21:20What are you doing?
01:21:21We have only five minutes.
01:21:22What are you doing?
01:21:23We have only five minutes.
01:21:24And with no ingredients?
01:21:25And with no ingredients?
01:21:26If anyone could, it's Chef Rivers.
01:21:27The best student I've ever had.
01:21:29What are you doing?
01:21:30We have only five minutes.
01:21:31If anyone could, it's Chef Rivers.
01:21:32The best student I've ever had.
01:21:33What are you doing?
01:21:34We have only five minutes.
01:21:59What's this?
01:22:18She seems to have frozen in place.
01:22:21Is she choking?
01:22:27For you, Mark.
01:22:28Mark?
01:22:58I call it Cloud Eggs because behind the cloudy white is a red sun ready to shine.
01:23:15Do you like it?
01:23:20You know, I'm going to be the greatest chef in the world.
01:23:26Really?
01:23:27Maybe I will too.
01:23:30Then we should cook together.
01:23:32You could be my soul chef.
01:23:34You mean sous chef.
01:23:35Pretty sure it's soul chef.
01:23:37Let's go.
01:23:38Mark, why are you?
01:23:39Take my cookbook.
01:23:40So we could cook together again.
01:23:42Mark, why are you?
01:23:43Take my cookbook.
01:23:44So we could cook together again.
01:23:48It's you.
01:23:49It's always been you.
01:24:02Chef Maya Miller was my mother.
01:24:03You kept my notebook.
01:24:04All those years.
01:24:05You're my first soul chef.
01:24:07One, four, four, three, two, one.
01:24:14And the winner of this year's Culinary Cup by default is Vanessa Leron.
01:24:34Yes!
01:24:35That's my girl.
01:24:38That'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?
01:25:11Only if you forgive me first.
01:25:12Your mother spent their whole lives chasing that cup.
01:25:13Yeah.
01:25:14And they bust themselves to win it.
01:25:15We win!
01:25:16You lose!
01:25:17How's it feel to eat my leftovers?
01:25:18Now you're not the only millionaire in town with a hot chef girlfriend.
01:25:19You got that wrong.
01:25:20Oh, do I?
01:25:21I am a billionaire.
01:25:22I am a billionaire, not a millionaire.
01:25:23Prove it.
01:25:24Okay.
01:25:25I can afford to serve another knuckle sandwich.
01:25:27Oh.
01:25:28Oh.
01:25:29Oh.
01:25:30Oh.
01:25:31In your face.
01:25:32In your face.
01:25:33Oh.
01:25:34Oh.
01:25:35You're not the only millionaire in town with a hot chef girlfriend.
01:25:36You got that wrong.
01:25:37Oh.
01:25:38Oh.
01:25:39Do I?
01:25:40I am a billionaire, not a millionaire.
01:25:41Yeah.
01:25:42Prove it.
01:25:47Okay, I can afford to serve another knuckle sandwich.
01:25:59In your face!
01:26:12Congratulations, you are a shitty person, but a good chef.
01:26:21I just hope we can heal.
01:26:25So, let's talk business.
01:26:28Where do you want to open Mother's Table?
01:26:31In case you still want to cook with me.
01:26:33Oh, I want to do a lot more.
01:26:36Me too.
01:26:42Hailey, ever since we were kids, you showed me what flavor really means.
01:26:56Not just in food, but in life.
01:26:58You're not just my love.
01:27:00You're my first.
01:27:02You're my last.
01:27:03Forever Soul Chef.
01:27:08Hailey Rivers, do you want to marry me?
01:27:12Yes, chef.
01:27:21I love you.
01:27:27You too.
01:27:36Hey, you two.
01:27:38Get a room.
01:27:39Or a restaurant.
01:27:40Oh, sorry.
01:27:45Sometimes we get a little carried away.
01:27:47Well, thank you all for being here today.
01:27:49This is a special occasion for my wife and I.
01:27:52I've always dreamed of building a restaurant, and I couldn't have asked for a better partner than Mark.
01:27:56Mother's Table is an all-day brunch spot that celebrates that food can be simple yet delicious.
01:28:02Now, we all know that baker, Chef De Laurentiis, is a great chef.
01:28:07Today, besides our beautiful food, we have special exciting news to share.
01:28:13I've got a bun in the oven.
01:28:14Okay, okay, everybody.
01:28:20Enough talking.
01:28:21Let's get cooking.
01:28:22Yeah!
01:28:23Yeah!
01:28:23Woo!
