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 Rigor.
00:00:26My dream has always been to bring the culinary
00:00:29cup and crush Marc De Laurentiis.
00:00:32But now that I'm so close, why 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.

00:01:53Smell it.
00:01:54No.
00:01:54It's not good.
00:01:56It's a fucking piece of thrash.

00:02:31with a focus on pastries.
00:02:37You should know not to be late.
00:02:40I'm sorry, it was just two minutes.
00:02:42Two minutes?
00:02:43That is the difference between a rare and a well-done steak.

00:02:55Have we met before?
00:02:57No way.
00:02:58Does he remember me?
00:03:00You have three chances to cook me a steak, to satisfy me.
00:03:09Or you'll be fired.
00:03:13Just 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.
00:03:34This is drier than the fucking Sahara.
00:03:41More butter.
00:03:44I know.

00:29:18Good night.
00:29:21Good night.
00:29:34What is he doing?
00:29:37Can I ask you a question?
00:29:39When did you know you wanted to be a chef?
00:29:42When I was four, on my birthday, my mom got me this kitchen play set and, uh, I never wanted to play with anything else.
00:29:52I remember playing too.
00:29:54With my family's friend.
00:29:57I hated being a chef.
00:29:59So it changed.
00:30:03I actually started liking to be a chef at the... the golden table.
00:30:08I used to play cooking with the chef's daughter at her little kitchen play set.
00:30:15We always thought about that one little pot.
00:30:19Yeah, I want it!
00:30:20I want it!
00:30:21I want it!
00:30:22I want it!
00:30:23What's that?
00:30:24The red one.
00:30:27How'd you know?
00:30:28Oh.
00:30:29Oh.
00:30:30Like I said, I had the same one.
00:30:35So...
00:30:36Didn't...
00:30:37Didn't everyone?
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:44As we got older...
00:30:46We started creating our own recipes.
00:30:49I'll call it...
00:30:50Brown eggs.
00:30:51That we could cook together.
00:30:53You can be me.
00:30:54Soul chef.
00:30:55You mean...
00:30:56Sous chef.
00:30:57I started cooking all our first dishes.
00:31:02Seeing her cook was so...
00:31:05Great.
00:31:06She was so alive.
00:31:07So happy.
00:31:09And I think that changed something in me.
00:31:12And I wanted to be a chef.
00:31:15But I wish I could cook with her again.
00:31:18Maybe you can.
00:31:20She's actually a lot like you.
00:31:22She always used through me in everything.
00:31:24So joyful.
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.
00:31:48That's right.
00:31:51Her name...
00:31:53Her name was...
00:31:55Her...
00:31:57Who's that boyfriend?
00:31:59Oh, um...
00:32:01It's my dad.
00:32:03Do you mind?
00:32:04No.
00:32:05Go ahead.
00:32:13Hello?
00:32:14Hayley.
00:32:15Where are you?
00:32:16I'm at your place.
00:32:18Look, I...
00:32:19I have an early morning.
00:32:20I'll explain later.
00:32:22I know.
00:32:23I got back early.
00:32:24I have huge news.
00:32:26Where are you?
00:32:27There was an emergency with our suppliers.
00:32:29But I'm upstate at a farm with Mark.
00:32:32I'll be back.
00:32:34What?
00:32:36Upstate?
00:32:37Mark?
00:32:39So first, it's overtime.
00:32:41Now a business trip and you're sleeping with him?
00:32:48Be at my place tomorrow before dark.
00:32:50Okay?
00:32:51Do you understand?
00:33:08I love you.
00:33:26I love you.
00:33:38Um...
00:33:41Morning.
00:33:43Um...
00:33:44Coffee?
00:33:45Oh...
00:33:47Um...
00:33:51I, uh...
00:33:52have 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?
00:34:00I love ours, hmm?
00:34:30Oh, can't get enough love
00:34:34You got this, Hayley. The sooner you tell Adrienne about Mark, the better.
00:34:52Surprise!
00:35:00I have never seen you dance or smile in the kitchen before.
00:35:15Who are you? And what have you done with Mark?
00:35:24I met someone, okay? Not someone. The one.
00:35:29What do you want?
00:35:31Really?
00:35:32Well, what's her name? Where did you meet?
00:35:35I want to know everything.
00:35:37I don't want to jinx you.
00:35:39Surprise!
00:35:41Surprise!
00:35:43Come on, babe, come on, come on, come on, yeah.
00:35:46Oh, my birthday's not for another month.
00:35:51I invited all of us here today to share in this magical moment.
00:35:56Dad!
00:35:58Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell.
00:36:00Adrian, what's going on?
00:36:02First, I'd like to tell everyone here that you are now looking at America's newest millionaire.
00:36:08Woohoo!
00:36:10You sold the company, congratulations!
00:36:12Now that we're rich, I think it's time to move on to our next chapter.
00:36:24Hayley Rivers, will you marry me?
00:36:27Mark, slow down, alright?
00:36:34Remember what happened with Dominique?
00:36:36Your crazy ex.
00:36:37No, she is not like Dominique, okay? She's different.
00:36:40She makes me believe in cooking again.
00:36:42And she makes me believe in-
00:36:43Love, no, don't you say it, alright?
00:36:45You're scaring me.
00:36:46I don't like this happy dancing Mark, alright?
00:36:49Don't be in forever, kinda need you to say something here.
00:37:04That's a yes! That's a yes!
00:37:07It fits!
00:37:10Congratulations, honey.
00:37:12Wow!
00:37:14We're millionaires!
00:37:16Oh, yeah!
00:37:19I would also like to announce
00:37:21that I will be buying the golden table as a gift to my new fiancee.
00:37:27Signed this morning.
00:37:29What?
00:37:31Adrian, why don't we talk?
00:37:33Okay, give us one second.
00:37:35It's done.
00:37:37You no longer have to work for that smug bastard de la rent or whatever, okay?
00:37:41You can just stay home.
00:37:42Diego, you are my best friend.
00:37:45My only friend.
00:37:49She's the right one.
00:37:50Trust me.
00:37:54Mark, at least let me meet her.
00:37:56You know her.
00:37:57You actually introduced us.
00:38:00I'm thinking to propose to her after we win the culinary camp.
00:38:05But I'm this close to getting Mark's recipes.
00:38:12Mark?
00:38:13What?
00:38:14Haley, what is going on?
00:38:16Do you love him?
00:38:17Adrian, I...
00:38:19No.
00:38:20I can never leave him.
00:38:21I'm just using him for revenge.
00:38:22I'm going to destroy Mark de Laurentiis.
00:38:24Mark de Laurentiis.
00:38:25Oh, here you are.
00:38:26I need to talk to you about our future.
00:38:27Listen up, team.
00:38:28Now that we are all here, I have some news.
00:38:30I have to come clean and tell you that Haley and I...
00:38:37Haley and I...
00:38:38Haley and I...
00:38:39Perfected De Laurentiis.
00:38:40I have to come clean and tell you that Haley and I...
00:39:02Haley and I perfected De Laurentiis beef wellington.
00:39:08From today moving onwards, Haley is going to be promoted to be a sous chef.
00:39:13And she will help me preparing all the dishes for the culinary cup and also join me in the competition.
00:39:21Haley, what are you saying?
00:39:23It would be an honor, chef.
00:39:27Okay guys, so for tonight we are focusing on preparing all the dishes for the culinary cup.
00:39:35Let's get cooking, right?
00:39:36Yes, chef!
00:39:37Yes, chef!
00:39:38Come on!
00:39:54Take your apron off.
00:39:56Okay.
00:39:58Okay.
00:40:07Rah.
00:40:13Mark.
00:40:14Mark.
00:40:15Stop.
00:40:16We have to get back to the kitchen.
00:40:18We can't stop.
00:40:19I am done playing games.
00:40:21Okay?
00:40:22Haley, I want you.
00:40:23This time for real, Haley Rose.
00:40:28You don't even know me.
00:40:29I 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.
00:40:40And I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:40:48Mark, I have to get back to the kitchen.
00:40:52To the hell with the kitchen.
00:40:53All desire can burn.
00:40:54I don't care, okay?
00:40:56Do you feel that?
00:40:59Feel it.
00:41:05My heart is beating for you.
00:41:09And all of you.
00:41:11Fine.
00:41:12Let desire burn, then.
00:41:15I want to be the first time at De Laurentiis let a successful business burn.
00:41:18Bigger than golden table.
00:41:30I'm thinking of golden kitchen, right?
00:41:40He did it!
00:41:41So what is he cooking?
00:41:45I don't know.
00:41:46I haven't looked yet.
00:41:47I couldn't.
00:41:49I 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.
00:41:57Wait a minute.
00:42:02Is this a joke?
00:42:07That's his recipe book.
00:42:08These are Mark's recipes.
00:42:10These are yours!
00:42:11Grilled cheese, spaghetti, cloud eggs.
00:42:17What the hell's a cloud egg?
00:42:19No.
00:42:22This is my handwriting, but I don't even remember writing these.
00:42:25This 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 him next to that one.
00:42:46You know, there was this one time where she took my phone instead.
00:42:48Okay, okay.
00:42:48That was one time.
00:42:50And no, this is his notebook.
00:42:52You are so perfect.
00:43:01Go get this real recipe!
00:43:05Go, go!
00:43:06You know what, Dad?
00:43:10That's it.
00:43:11I am so over this.
00:43:15I don't know what I can do to make you proud.
00:43:18I graduated top of my class.
00:43:19I 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.
00:43:29Which she totally botched.
00:43:34And you.
00:43:36You have treated me like shit.
00:43:40Ever 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.
00:43:59I'm done with both of you.
00:44:00Well, 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.
00:44:14Hayley.
00:44:15Get back here!
00:44:16What's going on?
00:44:35Shh!
00:44:36This is my kitchen now.
00:44:38From now on, the only words out of your mouth are going to be yes, chef.
00:44:43Yes, chef.
00:44:44Take off your shirt.
00:44:47Yes, chef.
00:45:08Taste me.
00:45:10Yes, chef.
00:45:12Yes, chef.
00:45:14Good morning.
00:45:40I thought it's time for some classic brunch.
00:45:45Scrambled eggs and croissant.
00:45:47Which is my favorite meal.
00:45:49Mine too.
00:45:51I'm starving.
00:45:52Let's get cooking.
00:45:52So, how much time do we have?
00:46:06Got me feeling high, feeling low, feeling things I never knew before, can't get enough, I can't, I can't, I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:46:17So, how much time do we have?
00:46:20About 30 minutes?
00:46:2330 minutes.
00:46:24Why do you have my notebook?
00:46:37Why do you have my notebook?
00:46:44I found it.
00:46:46I found it, and I have the same one when I was little.
00:46:49So I must have gotten them confused.
00:46:56I belong to her.
00:46:59The girl who made me fall in love with cooking.
00:47:04I call it cloud eggs.
00:47:06Who can be me? Soul 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 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?
00:47:25That impression from childhood.
00:47:28Strangely stick.
00:47:31And somehow, I became my mom.
00:47:38Cooking for profit.
00:47:40And sometimes, revenge.
00:47:43Well, it's easy to get lost.
00:47:47Cook for the wrong reasons.
00:47:49Until I met you.
00:47:55You made me fall in love.
00:47:57Not just with cooking, though.
00:47:59Mark, I...
00:48:01There's something I have to tell you.
00:48:06Shit.
00:48:07I got called in early for Mother's Day.
00:48:15You ready for Mayim?
00:48:21I'll tell him tonight.
00:48:23Adrian Blackwell, I work at Desire.
00:48:33And I have some information you might be interested in.
00:48:36I'm not interested.
00:48:38Please leave.
00:48:44Hayley and Mark are having an affair.
00:48:48Hayley and Mark are having an affair.
00:48:51That bitch!
00:48:54I should have known she was a liar.
00:48:55Question is, how can we ruin her?
00:49:00What does she love the most?
00:49:06Her family restaurant.
00:49:07Have you heard of the Golden Table?
00:49:10She's the daughter of Chef Maya?
00:49:14On top of stealing my love, she already owns her own restaurant?
00:49:18Hmm?
00:49:19Not 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.
00:49:30And partner in crime.
00:49:34What flavor of crime were you thinking?
00:49:39I had a few ideas.
00:49:40Look, I don't understand, okay?
00:49:41Chef, our supplier said Hayley cancelled our whole order.
00:49:51Me?
00:49:52What?
00:49:53No, I didn't.
00:49:55Look, today's Mother's Day, okay?
00:49:57We have the first seating in one hour.
00:49:59And you're telling me we don't have any food?
00:50:02Chef, it's a worse.
00:50:06But 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.
00:50:16How about a one-star Yelp review?
00:50:18Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm.
00:50:20There seems to be a minor glitch in our reservation system.
00:50:22Hey, what's going on?
00:50:26Well, everybody's reservation somehow got booked for the same kind.
00:50:32We're overbooked and we don't have any food?
00:50:41I have the best hackers in Silicon Valley on my payroll.
00:50:45Desire's reservation system's a fucking joke.
00:50:48And 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.
00:51:10Or 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, clear 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. What are you waiting for?
00:51:33Yes, Chef.
00:51:34You can't make them drunk enough to forget that they're hungry.
00:51:35Well, then we'll just have to source locally.
00:51:36But it's Sunday night. All of the suppliers are closed.
00:51:50Mark, follow me.
00:51:51Are you mocked, Delorenti?
00:51:52In the flash, Ken.
00:51:53How would you like to be our supplier for today? We need protein.
00:52:07We have chicken nuggets.
00:52:09Chicken nuggets?
00:52:10What are we doing with chicken nuggets?
00:52:12What are we doing with chicken nuggets?
00:52:13We could deconstruct these, potato chips, wasabi peas, crusted chicken.
00:52:20Soy sauce, honey reduction glaze, sweet and sour umami.
00:52:25Yes, and instant ramen for agriculture.
00:52:36What are you thinking for dessert?
00:52:38Okay, we have ice cream. Do you have coffee?
00:52:42Yes, we do, but we just ran out, but I could brew some more.
00:52:46What are you thinking, Karen Masoud?
00:52:48How much of a risk are you willing to take on me?
00:52:59Can we do whatever it takes?
00:53:01Okay, coffee, please.
00:53:02Yes, yes, coffee.
00:53:11And how are we doing tonight, gentlemen?
00:53:14It's taking that so long.
00:53:18Okay, Chefs, come on, we're already late.
00:53:23Let's cook like we've never cooked before, okay?
00:53:26Yeah.
00:53:27Let's go.
00:53:28Chicken nuggets.
00:53:38One for the peas.
00:53:49Dinner is served, everyone.
00:53:54Now, 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's on the house.
00:54:08They're enjoying themselves?
00:54:18Are you ready to make something sweet?
00:54:28Chef.
00:54:29Oh, my God. This is so good.
00:54:31You should try it.
00:54:33Chef, why are you eating the Slurpees? Have you never had one before?
00:54:37No. I'm clearly missing one.
00:54:39Okay, that's great. Well, let's get back to work, please.
00:54:42Thank you. Hand that over.
00:54:44Oh.
00:54:45And for our last dish of the night, we present a wild berry granita.
00:54:56Enjoy.
00:54:59Thank you for allowing us to leave.
00:55:03Wow, just off tips alone, that was our most lucrative night.
00:55:07Ever.
00:55:09And we've gone viral on social media.
00:55:12Thanks to you, Hailey.
00:55:14She saved us.
00:55:21Oh, and Mark.
00:55:22There was a VIP guest here who wanted to give his personal compliments to the chef.
00:55:28Yeah, please.
00:55:30Take a seat.
00:55:31I heard your food was exquisite, but after tasting it myself, it's worse than convenience store food.
00:55:44Um, excuse me. I thought you wanted to give your compliments to the chefs?
00:55:50Compliments? No, no. Complaints. This was the worst experience I've ever had in my dining career.
00:55:57So tell me, who's responsible?
00:56:03I take full responsibility. So tell me, is there anything we can do to make this right?
00:56:10Hmm.
00:56:12Or you could start by firing her.
00:56:17Um, well, I am sorry to say, but our sous chef is irreplaceable, I desire.
00:56:26Hmm. I get it now.
00:56:30You two are fucking.
00:56:33Tell me, how long has this been going on, you slut?
00:56:38Hey.
00:56:41Watch it.
00:56:43Where have you been doing it? Hmm?
00:56:45The kitchen?
00:56:46Oh.
00:56:48Oh.
00:56:57Are you going to finish that?
00:56:58So the culinary cup is this weekend, right? So I need to tell you my recipes, right?
00:57:09Oh, um, your recipes.
00:57:12Ever since my ex stole them, I'm never writing them down. I always have them locked in here.
00:57:19But I know I can trust you.
00:57:21So for the first dish, I thought-
00:57:23No, um, you know what?
00:57:26Actually, don't tell me.
00:57:28But I need to tell you the dish if you want to win the cup.
00:57:34Okay. So for the first dish, I thought-
00:57:37I'm not, I'm not who you think I am.
00:57:43I'm not who you think I am.
00:57:44Who are you?
00:57:54My mom left that year. She said that is one of her most cherished memories. Do you know her?
00:58:01Yes.
00:58:03Chef Maya.
00:58:05She's-
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?
00:58:18Wow. 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.
00:58:31And 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-you're lying. Why?
00:58:57I-I don't believe you.
00:58:58They were having an affair.
00:59:00I remember my mom told me that Chef Maya wanted to sell the golden table because she wanted to quit luxury dining.
00:59:11And she wanted to focus on what she lost.
00:59:14Pastries.
00:59:15No, I don't believe you.
00:59:17And that's when Chef Maya's husband started building off.
00:59:21No, stop.
00:59:23It's not true.
00:59:25It is true.
00:59:28Wait, 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.
00:59:46To 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, I'm-it was, but it's-
01:00:00Get out!
01:00:02Mark, please, I can explain. I'm-
01:00:04What else did you lie about, huh?
01:00:07Are you married?
01:00:08Do you have kids?
01:00:10I-I was engaged.
01:00:17Engaged?
01:00:21Holy shit.
01:00:23To 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-I don't love him.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:40So Diego was right.
01:00:43You're just like Dominique.
01:00:45Mark, please.
01:00:46You're fired!
01:00:48Hayley, Elizabeth, whoever the fuck you are!
01:00:52Get out!
01:00:54Get out!
01:00:58Get out!
01:00:59Get out!
01:01:00Get out!
01:01:01Get out!
01:01:19Hello.
01:01:22Yes, this is Hayley Riverside.
01:01:24My God.
01:01:25I'll be there in a second.
01:01:32Dad!
01:01:33Dad!
01:01:34Hayley?
01:01:36He took it.
01:01:37He took everything.
01:01:40Who?
01:01:42To what?
01:01:43Adrian!
01:01:44He keeps me out.
01:01:46He took the cold table from us, Hayley.
01:01:48No.
01:01:49No, he can't do that.
01:01:51I signed over to him.
01:01:53And now that you guys are broken up.
01:01:56Hayley!
01:01:57You gotta get to go and table back for us!
01:02:00For your mother!
01:02:01For your mother!
01:02:02For your mother!
01:02:03For your mother!
01:02:04For your mother!
01:02:05Ah!
01:02:06Ah!
01:02:07Ah!
01:02:08Ah!
01:02:09Ah!
01:02:10Ah!
01:02:11Ah!
01:02:12Ah!
01:02:13Well, well, well.
01:02:14If it isn't my ex-fiancee.
01:02:17Mmm.
01:02:21Adrian.
01:02:22I'm so, so sorry.
01:02:24But please!
01:02:26Give me my mother's restaurant back.
01:02:29And what do I get in return?
01:02:31I can cook for you.
01:02:34I can...
01:02:35Anything.
01:02:36But please, it's all I have left of her.
01:02:39Can't you see, Hayley?
01:02:40I'm trying to ruin your life.
01:02:42You 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?
01:02:53I thought we were friends.
01:02:55Friends?
01:02:56After you stole Mark and my dream job?
01:02:59Friends?
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.
01:03:18Or not.
01:03:19I heard that Mark fired you.
01:03:21And you've lost the golden table.
01:03:23A chef without a restaurant can't even compete.
01:03:25Mm-hmm.
01:03:26Ha-ha.
01:03:27Ha-ha.
01:03:28Ha-ha.
01:03:29Ha-ha!
01:03:35Hey, Leigh.
01:03:36It's okay.
01:03:37Sit.
01:03:44Why did you make me a spy?
01:03:46Why did you send me in to desire?
01:03:52Ingrid De Laurentiis ruined our lives.
01:03:56And the apple certainly doesn't far from the tree.
01:04:00Yeah.
01:04:01Well, Mark told me a pretty outrageous lie.
01:04:04He said that you and Ingrid De Laurentiis were having an affair.
01:04:07And that you gave her mom's recipes before the competition.
01:04:12Don't.
01:04:18Okay.
01:04:20It's time to tell you the truth.
01:04:22The 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.
01:04:42You 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.
01:04:58And she did.
01:05:00You're a despicable man.
01:05:02You got to understand, Ingrid and I, we were in love.
01:05:08Not just with each other.
01:05:10With fame, fortune, glory.
01:05:17And then when your mother, she lost the competition.
01:05:23She got sick.
01:05:26She couldn't cook.
01:05:28She couldn't eat.
01:05:29And she had to use the feeding tube.
01:05:32It was torture.
01:05:35When she died.
01:05:38So did Archery.
01:05:41We were so guilty.
01:05:42I'm sorry.
01:05:44I'm sorry.
01:05:45Then why the obsession?
01:05:47With taking down the De Laurentiises?
01:05:50To keep your mom's legacy alive.
01:05:52The golden table, that was 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.
01:06:12We were her life's work.
01:06:15God.
01:06:17Hey, Hailey.
01:06:19Ow.
01:06:30Chef.
01:06:32Good 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.
01:06:50You're dismissed.
01:06:52What the hell?
01:07:03Chef, I was always invisible to you.
01:07:06I heard that the competition is gonna be explosive this year.
01:07:11Do you know what happens when dry ice needs boiling water?
01:07:16Good luck, Chef.
01:07:21Oh, my God.
01:07:26Mark!
01:07:28Let me see, let me see, let me see.
01:07:30We need to call an ambulance.
01:07:32Oh, my God.
01:07:33The competition, this weekend.
01:07:35What are you gonna do?
01:07:37Can you be my suit, Chef?
01:07:40Yes, 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.
01:07:54I'm so sorry, Pumpkin.
01:07:57Let's just let bygones be bygones.
01:08:00Because now, all I want is for you to be happy.
01:08:07Pumpkin, how's life?
01:08:09How's life?
01:08:11You okay?
01:08:12Looks like something's wrong.
01:08:14Dad, I think I might be in love.
01:08:19That's great news.
01:08:21Is he rich?
01:08:23Sorry.
01:08:24That's old house.
01:08:26Who is he?
01:08:28Well, he is rich.
01:08:30Thank God.
01:08:31Very, very rich.
01:08:33And his name is Mark DeLorean.
01:08:36No!
01:08:37Dad!
01:08:38Dad, are you okay?
01:08:39No, no!
01:08:40It's okay.
01:08:41Oh, my gosh.
01:08:43Mark.
01:08:44Does 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,
01:08:55and I don't even have a restaurant to get in, so...
01:08:58Okay.
01:08:59That's it.
01:09:00I...
01:09:01No!
01:09:02Dad, you're sick.
01:09:03I'm sick of this hospital.
01:09:05Come on, sneak me out of here, please.
01:09:07Look, I have a solution.
01:09:11Welcome 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.
01:09:29Will he defend his title, or will his reign come to an end?
01:09:34Vanessa, what are you doing? I need your hand. I can't do it alone.
01:09:38Well, that's too bad.
01:09:39Because 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.
01:09:52Looks like we have our first backstabbing of the competition.
01:09:56Now I know all your recipes.
01:10:00For years, I had the biggest crush on you, Mark.
01:10:03And you never even bothered to learn my name.
01:10:04And now I am going to crush you, and Desire.
01:10:12And finally, our wild card entry from a viral pop-up food cart. Let's welcome...
01:10:17I'm here with Hayley Rivers, whose pop-up food cart, Mother's Table, has gone viral.
01:10:32Hayley, why do you think people showed up so strongly?
01:10:34Oh, well...
01:10:37At 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 one.
01:10:46Oh, 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.
01:10:52And I'm Hayley's father, Vote Mother's Table!
01:10:56Let's welcome Hayley Rivers, Ruffin' Mother's Table.
01:11:11By the end of today, one chef will be crowned...
01:11:15The Culinary Cup Champion!
01:11:17Woo!
01:11:18First impressions are everything, so your task is to create an appetizer that introduces you and your taste.
01:11:27The clock is set, your ingredients await.
01:11:30Three...
01:11:32Two...
01:11:33One...
01:11:34Cook!
01:11:48Time's up, chefs!
01:11:49Now, first up, Chef Laurent.
01:11:50This is my yuzu and smoked sea salt ceviche. My hope is to invoke a cool ocean breeze with each bite.
01:12:09For the appetizer, I prepared a Wagyu tartar and to balance the heavy flavor, I have balsamic made out of scarlet bell strawberries.
01:12:24Okay.
01:12:25Hello. Um, hi, judges. At my pop-up mother's table, we value comfort. And two of my favorite things to bake are flans and tarts. So this is a tart flan.
01:12:37It's fusion?
01:12:38Call me a traditionalist, but I won't ever taste fusion food.
01:12:40It's effortless. It's not fusion. It's something completely new.
01:12:43Come on.
01:12:44The judges have voted. The following three will move on to the second round.
01:12:53Mark De Laurentiis, Vanessa Laurentiis, and...
01:12:57The judges have voted. The following three will move on to the second round.
01:13:02Mark De Laurentiis, Vanessa Laurentiis, And...
01:13:07Mark De Laurentiis, Vanessa Laurent, and Haley 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.
01:13:29But 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. Chef 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.
01:13:58Mark 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.
01:14:06What 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, in another kitchen, we maybe could have been friends.
01:14:26Or more.
01:14:28Um...
01:14:29Good luck.
01:14:30Vanessa.
01:14:31Mark.
01:14:32Aw!
01:14:34Well, there you have it.
01:14:36You guys ready for round two?
01:14:38Yeah!
01:14:39All right.
01:14:40Cook any cuisine, but you must incorporate this special ingredient.
01:14:44What is it?
01:14:45Can everybody say cheese?
01:14:47Cheese!
01:14:49Cheese!
01:14:50Cheese...
01:14:53п
01:14:57It 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. That perfect contrast between crispy exterior and gooey interior.
01:15:38The 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 Laurentiis!
01:16:06And... Chef Hailey Rivers!
01:16:16And how about a round of applause for Chef Mark De Laurentiis?
01:16:23Wait, Mark. Why 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.
01:16:44I was supposed to be his sous chef originally. We were supposed to work together.
01:16:53There are no rules against it, so it's up to Chef De Laurentiis.
01:16:57I don't know what to say. Except... you're going down, Vanessa.
01:17:11Well, folks. Get ready for our final round right after these messages.
01:17:19So, what's your better plan for tonight?
01:17:22Um, I was thinking maybe a quiche.
01:17:25Quiche?
01:17:26I don't know. I didn't actually think I'd get this far.
01:17:31Chefs, welcome to the final round of the Culinary Cup.
01:17:35Yeah!
01:17:36The 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. The 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.
01:18:07Okay. If you want to do this, we have to stop fighting, okay?
01:18:10Okay.
01:18:11Think. What 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.
01:18:25Okay.
01:18:27Um, and you are clearly the pastry queen.
01:18:32So...
01:18:33So what's something that showcases both of our talents?
01:18:37Beef, belly, beef.
01:18:38You make the pastry.
01:18:39Okay.
01:18:40And you make the tenderloin.
01:18:41Got it.
01:18:43Were you always that rough?
01:18:44Yeah.
01:18:45All right.
01:18:46Give me your meat.
01:18:47Well, it's time to make it a rice, huh?
01:18:54No.
01:18:55No, no.
01:18:56No.
01:18:57No.
01:19:00No.
01:19:01No.
01:19:02No.
01:19:03No.
01:19:04No.
01:19:05No.
01:19:06No.
01:19:07No.
01:19:08We're not doing difficult.
01:19:09No.
01:19:10I can't do anything.
01:19:11No.
01:19:13No.
01:19:17No.
01:19:18Now for my signature garnishing.
01:19:29Wow, it looks like Chef Laurent's finished with 10 minutes
01:19:33to spare.
01:19:34What 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 caused?
01:20:04Mark, no hard feelings, right?
01:20:12No.
01:20:15Your signature shallots.
01:20:17What an explosive garnish.
01:20:20Hey.
01:20:21Hey.
01:20:22Hey.
01:20:23Are you okay?
01:20:27No.
01:20:28Did any aril hit you?
01:20:29No, I'm fine.
01:20:30I'm fine.
01:20:31I'm fine.
01:20:32I'm fine.
01:20:33I'm fine.
01:20:34It's...
01:20:35It's...
01:20:36It's ruined.
01:20:37Are we going to lose now?
01:20:38Hey, look.
01:20:39My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.
01:20:45But there's more to this world than just...
01:20:48God...
01:20:49God...
01:20:50God...
01:20:51God...
01:20:52God...
01:20:53God...
01:20:54God...
01:20:55God...
01:20:56God...
01:20:57God...
01:20:58God...
01:20:59God...
01:21:00God...
01:21:01God...
01:21:02more to this world than just cups, stars, and dollar signs.
01:21:08Right?
01:21:17I have one more dish to go.
01:21:23It's impossible.
01:21:24No chef could win the culinary cup with only five minutes.
01:21:28And 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? We have only five minutes.
01:22:01What's this? She seems to have frozen in place. Is she choking?
01:22:06For you, Mark.
01:22:08For you, Mark.
01:22:09For you, Mark.
01:22:10What's this?
01:22:11She seems to have frozen in place. Is she choking?
01:22:15For you, Mark.
01:22:16What's this?
01:22:17She seems to have frozen in place. Is she choking?
01:22:22For you, Mark.
01:22:23For you, Mark.
01:22:24For you, Mark.
01:22:27For you, Mark.
01:22:28For you, Mark.
01:22:29For you, Mark.
01:22:34dada
01:22:38For you, Mark.
01:22:39For you, Mark.
01:22:41I call it Cloud Eggs
01:23:09because behind the cloudy white
01:23:12is a red sun ready to shine.
01:23:20Do 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.
01:23:35You mean sous chef?
01:23:37Pretty sure it's soul chef.
01:23:39Let's go.
01:23:42Where are you?
01:23:44Take my cookbook.
01:23:45So we could cook together again.
01:23:50It's you.
01:24:05It's always been you.
01:24:07Chef Maya Miller was my mother.
01:24:09You kept my notebook all those years.
01:24:16You're my first soul chef.
01:24:18And the winner of this year's Culinary Cup by default is Vanessa Leran.
01:24:35Yes!
01:24:36Yes!
01:24:37No!
01:24:38That's my girl!
01:24:39That's my girl!
01:24:40Eat it, Hailey!
01:24:41Eat it!
01:24:42You loser!
01:24:43Yes!
01:24:45Well, I'm sorry I lied to you about who I am and for being a spy.
01:24:50I- I'm sorry that I was such a dick.
01:24:56I'm an asshole.
01:24:59So apparently you can't be both.
01:25:02Hailey, can you forgive me?
01:25:09Hailey, can you forgive me?
01:25:11Hailey, can you forgive me?
01:25:14Only if you forgive me first.
01:25:20My mother spent their whole lives chasing that cup.
01:25:22Yeah.
01:25:24And they lost 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.
01:25:45Prove it.
01:25:47Okay.
01:25:48I can afford to serve another knuckle sandwich.
01:25:59In your face!
01:26:06Congratulations.
01:26:17You are a shitty person, but a good chef.
01:26:22I just hope we can heal.
01:26:25So, let's, um, 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.
01:26:50Hailey, 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.
01:26:59Love.
01:27:00You're my first.
01:27:02You're my last.
01:27:03Forever so, chef.
01:27:08Hailey, brothers.
01:27:09Yes.
01:27:10Do you want to marry me?
01:27:12Yes, chef.
01:27:13I love you.
01:27:26You too.
01:27:27Hey, you too.
01:27:37Hey, you two.
01:27:38Get a room.
01:27:39Or a restaurant.
01:27:43Sorry.
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 owning 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.
01:28:06Today, besides our beautiful food, we have special exciting news to share.
01:28:13I've got a bun in the oven.
01:28:17Okay, okay, everybody.
01:28:20Enough talking.
01:28:21Let's get cooking.
01:28:22Yeah!
01:28:23Woo!
