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 Riggins.
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.
00:00:54Give 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?
00:01:04Father, I'm in.
00:01:07Revenge is best served cold.
00:01:10And soon we will feast.
00:01:12Salt, pepper, butter.
00:01:13And yet, deceptively complex.
00:01:16I'm in.
00:01:17I'm in.
00:01:18Father, I'm in.
00:01:20I'm in.
00:01:21I'm in.
00:01:22I'm in.
00:01:23I'm in.
00:01:24I'm in.
00:01:25I'm in.
00:01:26I'm in.
00:01:27I'm in.
00:01:28I'm in.
00:01:29I'm in.
00:01:30I'm in.
00:01:31I'm in.
00:01:32I'm in.
00:01:33I'm in.
00:01:34I'm in.
00:01:35I'm in.
00:01:36I'm in.

00:01:40I'm in.
00:01:41I'm in.
00:01:42I'm in.
00:01:43I'm in.
00:01:44I'm in.
00:01:45I'm in.
00:01:46I'm in.
00:01:47What is that?
00:01:52Is that good?
00:01:53Smell it.
00:01:54It's not good.
00:01:56It's a fucking piece of trash!
00:01:59Take care of it, nothing.
00:02:01You're fired.
00:02:03Am I stuttering?
00:02:08So who won the cup?
00:02:14I...
00:02:17Oh, I'm, I'm so, so sorry.
00:02:22I slipped, I...
00:02:23Who let you in?
00:02:24Mark.
00:02:25This is Haley.
00:02:27She just graduated from your alma mater,
00:02:29top of her class, with a focus on pastries.
00:02:37You should know not to be late.
00:02:39I'm sorry, it was just two minutes.
00:02:42Two minutes?
00:02:43That is the difference between a rare
00:02:45and a well-done steak.
00:02:49I want you to cook me a steak.
00:02:55Have we met before?
00:02:56No way.
00:02:58Does he remember me?
00:03:05Your three chances to cook me a steak
00:03:07to satisfy me, or you'll be fired.
00:03:25Just what I would expect from a pastry chef.
00:03:28You didn't even try it.
00:03:29Less butter.
00:03:30It's not a fucking croissant.
00:03:31This is drier than the fucking Sahara.
00:03:36More butter.
00:03:37I know.
00:03:38My secret ingredient.
00:03:39is more bitter.
00:03:40More butter.
00:03:42Oh, I see.
00:03:44I know.
00:03:45My secret ingredient.
00:03:46That's right, I got one.
00:03:48It's more than a Western country hari
00:03:49and I got one more wire.
00:03:51Than a fucking Sahara.
00:03:52More butter.
00:03:53I know.
00:03:55My secret ingredient.
00:03:56I know.
00:03:57My secret ingredient.
00:04:00Good night, let's see.
00:04:02Good night, let's see.
00:04:05Good night.
00:04:06Good night.
00:04:07Good night, let's see.
00:04:08Good night.
00:04:08Tastes 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.
00:04:34Your 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 laid in my kitchen again.
00:04:51Thank you, chef.
00:04:52Not thank you, chef. Yes, chef.
00:04:54Yes, chef.
00:04:55Okay, guys.
00:04:57So 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!
00:05:04Hey, um, are you okay?
00:05:11Yeah, all good. I was just cutting onions.
00:05:16It's okay. You 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 on 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?
00:05:52Well, that I have a great ass.
00:06:00That part I meant.
00:06:04Late night shift, kitchen dimming down.
00:06:08Caught your glance from across the heat.
00:06:11Am I fired?
00:06:12Why do you look familiar?
00:06:14Oh, yeah.
00:06:24Taste of you, got me coming back for more.
00:06:27One taste ain't enough, no more.
00:06:28I'm addicted to the taste of you.
00:06:31Got me feeling high, feeling low.
00:06:33Feeling things I never knew before.
00:06:36Can't get enough.
00:06:37I can't.
00:06:37I'm addicted to the taste of you, taste of you.
00:06:43Guess who found a new buyer for his app?
00:06:45We're going to be filthy rich.
00:06:47What?
00:06:48That's amazing.
00:06:49I know.
00:06:51Attaboy!
00:06:53Hey, I am so proud of you, son.
00:06:56If you only had half of Adrian's ambition, or brains, have a seat.
00:07:02Oh, that's horrible.
00:07:03Ooh, nice.
00:07:05Bon appetit.
00:07:07So, how's Desire?
00:07:09When did you meet Mark yet?
00:07:11I did.
00:07:12He was...
00:07:14interesting.
00:07:17Interesting?
00:07:17What do you mean?
00:07:19Like, attractive?
00:07:23Hayley, what about the recipe?
00:07:26Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.
00:07:28I want to work with you, at the Golden Table, and continue Mom's legacy.
00:07:35And you will, after you get revenge for your mother.
00:07:39Now, the Golden Table used to be the number one restaurant in Los Angeles, until Ingrid
00:07:44De Laurentiis stole your mom's recipes, and beat her in the culinary cup.
00:07:50I know what I have to do.
00:07:52Steal their recipes, and then I will beat Mark in the culinary cup.
00:07:56Remember, you're there to steal the recipes.
00:07:59I don't even know where to look.
00:08:01During last year's culinary cup, he kept referring to a red notebook.
00:08:07It must be in there.
00:08:09Hmm.
00:08:13A red notebook?
00:08:14I've seen it.
00:08:16Okay, listen up, chefs.
00:08:29Tonight, we are surveying my newest creation.
00:08:32First, we need to try it.
00:08:36What did I tell you about being late?
00:08:38Are you not impressed?
00:08:53It's okay.
00:08:59The recipes are on your stations.
00:09:03Let's get cooking, come on!
00:09:04Yes, chef!
00:09:05This is not my recipe.
00:09:18It's better.
00:09:20What did you just say?
00:09:23Um, I asked, uh, is it better?
00:09:25Follow me.
00:09:43No!
00:09:46I gotta try this out.
00:09:47Oh, that's so good.
00:10:01Right here.
00:10:05Take off your apron.
00:10:09If I'm fired, you can just tell me.
00:10:10Take off your apron.
00:10:27I want you.
00:10:28I want you to teach me recipes.
00:10:42Get up, now!
00:10:48Get up, now!
00:10:50The kitchen is yours.
00:10:54Okay.
00:10:56So, the problem is in the sauce.
00:10:58Sauce?
00:10:59My last name is D. Launtis.
00:11:03My answer says they basically invented the sauce.
00:11:06What's wrong with the sauce?
00:11:07Okay, godfather.
00:11:09I didn't mean to offend you.
00:11:11Can I show you something?
00:11:13Yeah.
00:11:13Go ahead.
00:11:14So, instead of parsley, I use a dash of throby.
00:11:21Throby.
00:11:22Yeah, the Greek herb.
00:11:23I know what throby is, okay?
00:11:25I knew a girl once.
00:11:28Actually, she was a lot like you.
00:11:33Wow.
00:11:35A lot like me.
00:11:36Do you want to try?
00:11:39Yeah.
00:11:41May I?
00:11:44Okay, um, I, I, I, I think the tomato sauce is burnt off.
00:12:02Okay, hey, calm down.
00:12:05That's easy to say if you don't have a Michelin-style restaurant with over 400 covers a night.
00:12:11Okay, maybe you need to chill.
00:12:12You're going to lose a star if you keep rushing like this.
00:12:17In my kitchen, I tell you what to do.
00:12:20I want you to go home.
00:12:23Now.
00:12:26Jerk.
00:12:26Why does this feel wrong?
00:12:40Remember what he did to your mom and the golden table.
00:12:45Oh!
00:12:46What are you doing?
00:12:47I, I thought that's mine.
00:12:53I have the exact same one.
00:12:57Okay.
00:12:58I believe you.
00:12:59You're definitely not like that Dominique.
00:13:02Uh, Dominique?
00:13:03Mark's ex-sous chef slash ex-fiance.
00:13:07Ex-fiance?
00:13:08What happened?
00:13:09Well, what always happens when two beautiful chefs get cooking in a hot kitchen together?
00:13:15Spicy romance.
00:13:18But she ended up breaking his heart and stealing his recipes.
00:13:24And Mark vowed to never trust anyone ever again.
00:13:28Except me, of course.
00:13:30Of course.
00:13:30Guess he wasn't always a dick, huh?
00:13:41So first I'm an asshole.
00:13:44And now a dick.
00:13:45Baby, you need to choose what I am.
00:13:50Because I can't be both.
00:13:53You're cut for tonight.
00:13:54Um, maybe tomorrow I can stop by.
00:14:00Help with the recipes.
00:14:02For the culinary cup.
00:14:04Come early.
00:14:06I have some private...
00:14:09tasting for you.
00:14:17What are you smiling about?
00:14:24Adrian, what are you doing here?
00:14:30I wanted to surprise you.
00:14:31Where have you been?
00:14:33Oh, um...
00:14:34Chef kept asleep.
00:14:37Chef, huh?
00:14:39You know, generally people don't smile about having overtime.
00:14:42Wow.
00:14:43I love to cook.
00:14:45You know that.
00:14:46Oh, if you love cooking so much, then make me dinner.
00:14:49All right.
00:14:54Oh, I miss your smell and taste.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:06I'm busy, Mark.
00:15:07Mark?
00:15:08What did you just call me?
00:15:11Oh.
00:15:12Oh, God.
00:15:13I'm sorry.
00:15:14I'm so tired.
00:15:15I demand you quit desire.
00:15:18Quit desire?
00:15:20Not now.
00:15:21I'm not asking.
00:15:23But I'm so close.
00:15:24Tonight, when I was alone with him, he almost let me see his notebook.
00:15:27You were alone with Mark?
00:15:29We were cooking.
00:15:31Just cooking.
00:15:32You know what?
00:15:32That's it.
00:15:33I've had enough of this.
00:15:34I've tolerated your stupid little chef dream for long enough.
00:15:38This is too far.
00:15:39I forbid you from working for Mark De Laurentiis.
00:15:43You forbid me.
00:15:49Baby, I'm sorry.
00:15:51I'm sorry.
00:15:51I hate the idea of him even laying a finger on you.
00:15:56I mean, you hate him, right?
00:16:05Right?
00:16:07Of course.
00:16:08Of course.
00:16:08I hate Mark De Laurentiis.
00:16:10I'm only around him for one thing.
00:16:14Avenge.
00:16:14Oh.
00:16:30You're early.
00:16:31Come on.
00:16:32You inspired me last night, so I thought you would be the first one to try my new dish.
00:16:37What do you think?
00:16:49Be honest.
00:16:50It's good.
00:16:52Your meat, the truffle, it's flawless.
00:16:55It's really good.
00:16:57Good.
00:16:57Do you think God will win the culinary cup?
00:17:03Tell me, what do I need?
00:17:05What you need is to knead the dough.
00:17:08Here.
00:17:09Pastry is like us.
00:17:17It needs a deep tissue massage.
00:17:25Okay, okay, okay.
00:17:27Relax, relax.
00:17:28Jeez.
00:17:28Gentle.
00:17:29You have to love the dough.
00:17:32Okay, so knead.
00:17:35Knee.
00:17:36Stretch.
00:17:37Stretch.
00:17:39Fold.
00:17:47Knee.
00:17:50Stretch.
00:17:51Stretch.
00:17:55Fold.
00:17:58Mm-hmm.
00:17:58Mm-hmm.
00:17:58There you go.
00:18:07Gentle.
00:18:09Gentle.
00:18:10Feels good.
00:18:12There, just like that.
00:18:15Good.
00:18:15Good.
00:18:16Here, right.
00:18:25There.
00:18:26Good.
00:18:26Not too fast.
00:18:29Do you feel it?
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:35Okay, now.
00:18:36Faster.
00:18:40Now it starts to smooth out.
00:18:42It's ready, okay?
00:18:43Now?
00:18:45Almost.
00:18:48Now.
00:18:49Now.
00:18:49Wow.
00:19:15That's amazing.
00:19:18Wow.
00:19:28Mm-hmm.
00:19:28Mm-hmm.
00:19:43What's up, Chef?
00:19:45Yeah.
00:19:46Mm-hmm.
00:19:46I guess certain privileges come with your new position.
00:19:54What new position?
00:19:56Whatever position Mark wants you in.
00:19:58Look, Vanessa, I don't know what you saw, but he just wanted me to taste his new dish.
00:20:05And did you taste it standing up or on your knees?
00:20:09Yes.
00:20:39Hey, Leigh, why are you still here?
00:20:47Chef, we need to talk.
00:20:52What's wrong?
00:20:55What happened was a mistake.
00:21:00I mean, I don't want to, like, offend you.
00:21:04Obviously, I was into it.
00:21:06I, I, but, uh.
00:21:09My dish?
00:21:12Or my kiss?
00:21:15Both.
00:21:16But you're my boss.
00:21:20And I think it is best if we keep things professional.
00:21:24Yes, I respect your decision, but as your boss, I would ask you to join me on this work trip.
00:21:34Why don't you take Vanessa?
00:21:40Please say yes.
00:21:42Say yes, chef.
00:21:44Vanessa, these dishes won't wash themselves.
00:21:48Vanessa?
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:49Do you know what I admire about you?
00:21:53That I'm a better cook than you?
00:21:57No, that you have ambition.
00:21:59And you have fun doing it.
00:22:02So what do you say?
00:22:04Do you want to join me on this work trip?
00:22:07Because I bet I will get inspired for my new recipes.
00:22:10Oh, I'm, like, for the culinary cup.
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:17Hmm.
00:22:27Oh, my God.
00:22:28Holy shit.
00:22:29What do you want to do?
00:22:32Let me take a picture.
00:22:33Yes.
00:22:36Thank you so much.
00:22:38Vanessa, so much.
00:22:39Amazing.
00:22:49Something wrong?
00:22:51Um, I'm just so used to seeing you in an apron.
00:22:55You look divine.
00:22:59After you.
00:23:00Oh, by the way, coffee.
00:23:01Okay.
00:23:02Who the hell is she?
00:23:09Who the hell is she?
00:23:09Oh, my God.
00:23:20Oh, my God.
00:23:20I love this song.
00:23:21Oh, my God.
00:23:22I love this song.
00:23:23Don't forget, Hayley.
00:23:29You're here for revenge.
00:23:31She's not love.
00:23:32She's not love.
00:23:47Are we almost there?
00:23:48About an hour to go.
00:23:50You're here for revenge.
00:23:51I love this song.
00:23:55What?
00:23:55Oh, my God.
00:23:59Wow.
00:24:00This is a really beautiful view.
00:24:02Yeah.
00:24:03Isn't it beautiful?
00:24:03Was he referring to me or the view?
00:24:07Howdy, Mark.
00:24:08Hey, how you doing?
00:24:09What is this?
00:24:11Um, another girlfriend, I see.
00:24:15No, no, I'm just one of Mark's chefs.
00:24:18That's what the last one said.
00:24:21Should we go look at the crops?
00:24:25So, how many girlfriend chefs have you brought here?
00:24:28So, how many of your girlfriend chefs have you brought here?
00:24:37I have no idea what he's talking about.
00:24:40You are clearly the first one I brought here.
00:24:48Thanks.
00:24:53This is where we're gonna source all the greens and fruits for desire.
00:24:56Do you like it?
00:24:57Somehow it already feels like home.
00:24:58You bought it?
00:25:08The farm.
00:25:09That means we have access to the herb garden, too.
00:25:11So, maybe we can plant some through a week.
00:25:15Come on, let me show you something.
00:25:22We have spaghetti squash, Jerusalem artichokes,
00:25:25and our beautiful elements.
00:25:27Feel free to take one.
00:25:31Come on, let's try one.
00:25:32Okay, let me show you everything.
00:25:33Oh.
00:25:33Yeah, I got some.
00:25:42Got something on your chin.
00:25:44Do I get it?
00:25:45No, right.
00:25:45Right here.
00:25:46May I?
00:25:47Hello! I want to show you our lifestyle. Come on, who are we?
00:25:58Hello, welcome.
00:26:03Mark De Laurentiis, the king's suite as usual.
00:26:06Mr. De Laurentiis, unfortunately, we lost all our reservations.
00:26:11We only have one single room with one bed.
00:26:17What? One bed?
00:26:20Yes. Oh, no. No, no.
00:26:24Just tell me, what is it going to take?
00:26:28Mr. De Laurentiis, trust me. I would love to help you out.
00:26:36How does that sound?
00:26:40Would that be enough?
00:26:42Really, we cannot accommodate your request. I wish I could.
00:26:45A second room, then.
00:26:47Oh, we are fully booked. I'm so sorry.
00:26:49Can I talk to the manager, please?
00:26:51Sir, um, I am with the manager.
00:26:55To the owner, then, because I'm going to buy this hotel and I'm going to fire you.
00:26:59Relax, safe firing for the restaurant.
00:27:02Uh, we will take the room.
00:27:05Fine. I'm going to take the couch.
00:27:08The room doesn't have a couch.
00:27:11Perfect. You are all set. Have a great night.
00:27:15Well, I am going to sleep in my car.
00:27:22No. What?
00:27:24Mark, it's been a long day.
00:27:28We can share the bed.
00:27:31Well, okay.
00:27:36If you insist, we are two adults, huh?
00:27:39What's the worst thing that could happen?
00:27:41I'm going to go down.
00:27:45I have to go.
00:27:46Sorry.
00:27:53You got this, Hayley?
00:27:55He's not even that attractive.
00:27:58Right.
00:28:12Not that attractive.
00:28:20Oh!
00:28:21Oh!
00:28:22Sorry.
00:28:23It has a chain date.
00:28:24No, I was looking.
00:28:26Um, that's okay.
00:28:28Got it wrong.
00:28:29I...
00:28:30You, uh...
00:28:43You look...
00:28:44Oh!
00:28:45Sorry.
00:28:46I...
00:28:47I'm sorry.
00:28:48I didn't think we'd be sharing a room.
00:28:50Are you cold?
00:28:51Here, take the shot.
00:28:52Oh, no.
00:28:53I think that would probably be a bad idea.
00:28:58That looks comfy, right?
00:29:00Yeah.
00:29:01Yeah, we should get into bed, Taylor.
00:29:03I mean...
00:29:04Ha!
00:29:05To sleep.
00:29:08You're going to take the left side?
00:29:10Yeah.
00:29:22Good night.
00:29:25Good night.
00:29:27Good night.
00:29:41What is he doing?
00:29:43Can I ask you a question?
00:29:46When did you know you wanted to be a chef?
00:29:48When I was four.
00:29:50On my birthday, my mom got me this kitchen play set.
00:29:55And, uh...
00:29:56I never wanted to play with anything else.
00:29:58I remember playing too.
00:30:01With my family's friend.
00:30:03I hated being a chef.
00:30:05So it changed.
00:30:09I actually started liking to be a chef at the...
00:30:13The Golden Table.
00:30:14I used to play cooking with the chef's daughter
00:30:18at her little kitchen play set.
00:30:22We always thought about that one little pot.
00:30:25Yeah.
00:30:26I want it!
00:30:27I don't want it!
00:30:28I don't want it!
00:30:29I don't want it!
00:30:30The red one.
00:30:33How did you know?
00:30:35Oh.
00:30:36I will...
00:30:37I...
00:30:38I don't want it!
00:30:39Like I said, I had the same one.
00:30:41So...
00:30:42Didn't...
00:30:44Didn't everyone?
00:30:49Yeah.
00:30:50as we got older we started creating our own recipes
00:30:56started cooking our first dishes seeing her cook was so great she was so alive so happy
00:31:14and i think that changed something in me and i wanted to be a chef
00:31:20but i wish i could cook with her again maybe you can she's actually a lot like you

00:35:21Who are you?
00:35:22And what have you done with Mark?
00:35:24I met someone.
00:35:29Okay?

00:35:31The one.
00:35:32Really?

00:35:55I invited all of us here today to share in this magical moment.
00:36:01Dad.
00:36:02Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell.
00:36:06Adrian, what's going on?
00:36:08First, I'd like to tell everyone here that you are now looking at America's newest millionaire.
00:36:14You sold the company.
00:36:17Congratulations.
00:36:18And now that we're rich, I think it's time to move on to our next chapter.
00:36:31Haley Rivers, will you marry me?
00:36:39Mark, slow down.
00:36:41All right?
00:36:42Remember what happened with Dominique?
00:36:43Your crazy ex.
00:36:44No, she is not like Dominique, okay?
00:36:46She's different.
00:36:47She makes me believe in cooking again.
00:36:49And she makes me believe in-
00:36:50Love, no, don't you say it, all right?
00:36:52You're scaring me.
00:36:53I don't like this happy dancing mark.
00:36:55All right?
00:37:04Been doing forever.
00:37:05Kind of needs to say something here.
00:37:07That's a yes!
00:37:08That's a yes!
00:37:09That's a yes!
00:37:10It fits!
00:37:11Congratulations, honey.
00:37:12Wow!
00:37:13We're millionaires!
00:37:14Oh, yeah.
00:37:15I would also like to announce that I will be buying the golden table as a gift to my new
00:37:32fiancee.
00:37:33Signed this morning.
00:37:35What?
00:37:36Adrian, why don't we talk?
00:37:38Yeah.
00:37:39Okay, give us one second.
00:37:41It's done.
00:37:42You no longer have to work for that smug bastard, de la rent, or whatever, okay?
00:37:47You can just stay home.
00:37:48Diego, you are my best friend.
00:37:51My only friend.
00:37:53She's the right one.
00:37:56Trust me.
00:37:57Mark, at least let me know.
00:38:01Mark, at least let me meet her.
00:38:03You know her.
00:38:04You actually introduced us.
00:38:07And I'm thinking to propose to her after we win the culinary camp.
00:38:16But I'm this close to getting Mark's recipes.
00:38:19Mark?
00:38:20What?
00:38:21Hayley, what is going on?
00:38:22Do you love him?
00:38:24Adrian, I...
00:38:31No.
00:38:32I can never love him.
00:38:33I'm just using him for revenge.
00:38:34I'm going to destroy Mark De Laurentiis.
00:38:36Oh, here you are.
00:38:37I need to talk to you about our future.
00:38:38Listen up, team.

00:47:25All those years and you...
00:47:26You still kept that notebook?
00:47:28I mean, everyone has that kind of person, right?
00:47:31I had an impression from childhood.
00:47:34Strangely stick.
00:47:40And somehow...
00:47:42I became my mom.
00:47:44Cooking for profit.
00:47:46And sometimes revenge.
00:47:49Well, it's easy to get lost.
00:47:53Cook for the wrong reasons.
00:47:55Until I met you.
00:48:00You made me fall in love.
00:48:03Not just with cooking.
00:48:05Mark, I...
00:48:07There's something I have to tell you.
00:48:12Shit.
00:48:16I got called in early for Mother's Day.
00:48:21You ready for Maine?
00:48:27I'll tell him tonight.
00:48:29Adrian Blackwell?
00:48:30I work at Desire.
00:48:31And I have some information you might be interested in.
00:48:44I'm not interested.
00:48:45Please leave.
00:48:46Haley and Mark are having an affair.
00:48:51Haley and Mark are having an affair.
00:48:55Haley and Mark are having an affair.
00:48:57That bitch!
00:48:59Should have known she was a liar.
00:49:01Question is...
00:49:03How can we ruin her?
00:49:04What does she love the most?
00:49:11Her family restaurant.
00:49:13Have you heard of the Golden Table?
00:49:16She's the daughter of Chef Maya?
00:49:19On top of stealing my love, she already owns her own restaurant?
00:49:23Hmm.
00:49:24Not anymore.
00:49:25Her father sold it to me.
00:49:28I was going to gift it back to Haley.
00:49:33Now you need...
00:49:34A new chef.
00:49:36And partner in crime.
00:49:40What flavor of crime are you thinking?
00:49:45I had a few ideas.
00:49:46Look, I don't understand, okay?
00:49:47Chef, our supplier said Haley cancelled our whole order.
00:49:49Me?
00:49:50What?
00:49:51I...
00:49:52No, I didn't!
00:49:53Look, today is Mother's Day, okay?
00:49:54We have the first seating in one hour.
00:49:55And you're telling me we don't have any food?
00:49:57Chef?
00:49:58These are worse.
00:49:59A way worse.
00:50:01We've been waiting for an hour.
00:50:03This better be good.
00:50:05I paid thousands.
00:50:08Three mentionless stars my ass.
00:50:09How about a one-star Yelp review?
00:50:11Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm.
00:50:12There seems to be a minor glitch in our reservation system.
00:50:14Hey.
00:50:16What's going on?
00:50:18No, no, stay.
00:50:19No, no.
00:50:20No, no, no.
00:50:21No, no, no, no, no!
00:50:23I think we're going to be going.
00:50:24No, I could go.
00:50:26No, no, no, no, no.
00:50:27No, I could go.
00:50:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:50:30Hey, what's going on?
00:50:33Well, everybody's reservations somehow got booked for the same kind.
00:50:37We're overbooked and we don't have any food?
00:50:47I have the best hackers in Silicon Valley on my payroll.
00:50:50Desire's reservation system's a fucking joke.
00:50:53I might just cancel all of our supplier shipments for today.
00:50:57So you're telling me there's an angry mob of starving superfans out there?
00:51:02And no food to serve them.
00:51:09I think we have to cancel today's service.
00:51:15Or we could embrace the chaos.
00:51:20Diego, go out there and tell everyone that they will be having an Omikase menu tonight.
00:51:26Servers, make sure everybody stays happy.
00:51:28Clear the tables, pump up the music, and bring out the wine.
00:51:33We're having a Mother's Day party tonight.
00:51:36Come on, go! Everybody go! What are you waiting for?
00:51:39Yes, Chef!
00:51:41Okay, where are you going to stay for me?
00:51:45You can't make them drunk and we'll have to forget that they're hungry.
00:51:48Well, then we'll just have to source locally.
00:51:50But it's not at night. All of the suppliers are closed.
00:51:55Mark, follow me.
00:51:57Are you mocked, the Laurentiis?
00:51:58In the flesh, Ken.
00:51:59How would you like to be our supplier for today?
00:52:00We need protein.
00:52:01We have chicken nuggets.
00:52:02Chicken nuggets?
00:52:03Yes.
00:52:04Well, what are we doing with chicken nuggets?
00:52:06We could deconstruct these, potato chips, wasabi peas,
00:52:24Crusted chicken with...
00:52:26Soy sauce, honey reduction glaze, sweet and sour umami.
00:52:31Yes, and instant ramen for extra texture.
00:52:42What are you thinking for dessert?
00:52:43Okay, we have ice cream. Do you have coffee?
00:52:47Yes, we do, but we just ran out, but I couldn't brew some more.
00:52:52What are you thinking, Terramasur?
00:52:54How much of a risk are you willing to take on me?
00:53:04Can we do whatever it takes?
00:53:06Okay, coffee, please.
00:53:08Yes, yes, coffee.
00:53:17And how are we doing tonight, gentlemen?
00:53:20It's taking that so long.
00:53:27Okay, chefs, come on.
00:53:28We're already late.
00:53:29Let's cook like we've never cooked before, okay?
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:33Let's go.
00:53:34Chicken nuggets.
00:53:44One for the peas.
00:53:45Dinner is served, everyone.
00:53:59Now, we know this is not our usual menu tonight, so we appreciate you all for being so flexible.
00:54:07And because it's Mother's Day, everything's on the house.
00:54:10They're enjoying themselves.
00:54:11Are you ready to make something sweet?
00:54:25Chef.
00:54:26Oh my God, this is so good.
00:54:28You should try it.
00:54:29Chef, why are you eating the slurpees?
00:54:30Have you never had one before?
00:54:31No.
00:54:32I'm clearly missing one.
00:54:33Okay, that's great.
00:54:34Well, let's get back to work, please.
00:54:36Hand that over.
00:54:37Oh.
00:54:38And for our last dish of the night, we present a wild berry granita.
00:54:39Enjoy.
00:54:40Thank you for letting us leave.

00:55:16Ever.
00:55:17And we've gone viral on social media.
00:55:18Thanks to you, Hailey.
00:55:19She saved us.
00:55:20Okay, yes.
00:55:23Oh, and Mark, there was a VIP guest here who wanted to give his personal compliments to the chef.
00:55:33Yeah, please.
00:55:35Take a seat.
00:55:42Now, I heard your food was exquisite, but after tasting it myself, it's worse than convenience store food.
00:55:48Um, excuse me, I thought you wanted to give your compliments to the chefs?
00:55:55Compliments? No, no. Complaints.
00:55:59This was the worst experience I've ever had in my dining career.
00:56:04So tell me, who's responsible?
00:56:08I take full responsibility. So tell me, is there anything we can do to make this right?
00:56:15Hmm. Well, you could start by firing her.
00:56:22Um, well, I am sorry to say, but our sous-chef is irreplaceable, I desire.
00:56:32Hmm. I get it now.
00:56:36You two are fucking.
00:56:38Tell me, how long has this been going on, you slut?
00:56:42Hey. Watch it.
00:56:49Where have you been doing it? Hmm? The kitchen?
00:56:52Are you going to finish that?
00:57:08So the culinary cup is this weekend, right?
00:57:12So I need to tell you my recipes, right?
00:57:13Oh, um, your recipes.
00:57:18Ever since my ex stole them, I'm never writing them down.
00:57:22I always have them locked in here.
00:57:24But I know I can trust you.
00:57:27So for the first dish, I thought...
00:57:28No, um, you know what?
00:57:32Actually, don't tell me.
00:57:33But I need to tell you the dish if you want to win the cup.
00:57:40Okay.
00:57:41So for the first dish, I thought we...
00:57:42I'm not who you think I am.
00:57:49I'm not who you think I am.
00:57:50Who are you?
00:58:00My mom left that year.
00:58:02She said that is one of her most cherished memories.
00:58:06Do you know her?
00:58:07Yes.
00:58:09Chef Maya.
00:58:12She's...
00:58:13The first woman who won the culinary cup.
00:58:16My mom and her were actually besties
00:58:17before they had a fallout
00:58:19after she lost.
00:58:22Lost?
00:58:23Wow.
00:58:24Really?
00:58:25Your mom stole Chef Maya's recipes.
00:58:28My mom did what?
00:58:30She was jealous that Chef Maya beat her,
00:58:33so she stole her recipes to try and win the next year.
00:58:36And then she tried to buy out the golden table.
00:58:39Who told you that nonsense?
00:58:41Why did your mom make several of Chef Maya's dishes
00:58:44at the culinary cup, huh?
00:58:47See?
00:58:48She's got nothing.
00:58:50Look, I was a kid,
00:58:51and I was in the kitchen at the kitchen staff talking.
00:58:55Chef Maya's husband gave my mother the recipes.
00:59:00You're lying.
00:59:01Why?
00:59:03I don't believe you.
00:59:04They were having an affair.
00:59:06I remember my mom told me that
00:59:12Chef Maya wanted to sell the golden table
00:59:15because she wanted to quit luxury dining,
00:59:17and she wanted to focus on what she lost.
00:59:20Pastries.
00:59:21No, I don't believe you.
00:59:22And that's when Chef Maya's husband
00:59:25started visiting you off.
00:59:27No, stop.
00:59:28That's not true.
00:59:30It is true.
00:59:31Wait, why are you so emotional?
00:59:36Do you work for the golden table?
00:59:45Out of all the restaurants in L.A.,
00:59:47how did you end up in my kitchen?
00:59:49I came to steal your recipes,
00:59:51to represent the golden table in the culinary cup
00:59:53and take down Desire in the same way
00:59:55that your mother took down us.
00:59:57So this is all fate?
01:00:01You and me?
01:00:03No, Mark.
01:00:04It was, but it's...
01:00:06Get out!
01:00:07Mark, please.
01:00:09I can explain.
01:00:10What else did you lie about, huh?
01:00:12Are you married?
01:00:14Do you have kids?
01:00:16I...
01:00:16I was engaged.
01:00:18I was engaged.
01:00:20Oh, fuck.
01:00:22Getting engaged?
01:00:24Oh.
01:00:25Holy shit.
01:00:28To the guy that I punched?
01:00:30Is that the guy, huh?
01:00:31Yes, but I broke it off, okay?
01:00:34And...
01:00:34And it's...
01:00:35It's not happening anymore.
01:00:37I don't love him.
01:00:38I love you.
01:00:46So Diego was right.
01:00:48You're just like Dominique.
01:00:50Hmm?
01:00:51Mark, please.
01:00:52You're fired!

01:15:33It appears Chef De Laurentiis has dropped his entree.
01:15:40He'll be judged solely on his appetizer alone.
01:15:44Is that a grilled cheese?
01:15:46What is this? A school lunch?
01:15:49What's the most important part about grilled cheese?
01:15:51It's not the cheese, but the bread.
01:15:53That perfect contrast between crispy exterior and gooey interior.
01:15:57The bread. It's almost laminated like a croissant, but grilled.
01:16:03I haven't seen bread this good since judging the Culinary Cup winner, Chef Maya Miller.
01:16:09The two chefs to move on to our final round are...
01:16:14The two chefs to move on to our final round are...
01:16:21Chef Vanessa Laurent!
01:16:25And...
01:16:27Chef Haley Rivers!
01:16:30And how about a round of applause for Chef Mark De Laurentiis?
01:16:45Wait, Mark.
01:16:49Why don't you join Mother's Table?
01:16:53Well, folks, it looks like we might have an alliance brewing over here.
01:16:58The Culinary Cup has never had two contestants join together.
01:17:04I was supposed to be his sous chef.
01:17:06Originally, we were supposed to work together.
01:17:11There are no rules against it, so it's up to Chef De Laurentiis.
01:17:15I don't know what you're saying, except you're going down, Vanessa.
01:17:29Well, folks, get ready for our final round right after these messages.
01:17:37So, what's your better plan for tonight?
01:17:40Um, I was thinking maybe a quiche.
01:17:44Quiche?
01:17:46I don't know.
01:17:47I didn't actually think I'd get this far.
01:17:50Chefs, welcome to the final round of the Culinary Cup.
01:17:54The theme of your final dish is...
01:17:57The Last Supper.
01:17:59The judges would like to see a signature dish that defines your career.
01:18:03This is your final statement.
01:18:04The last dish you will want to leave on this earth.
01:18:06Let's get started.
01:18:08Three, two, one...
01:18:10I need this.
01:18:24Okay, if you want to do this, we have to stop fighting, okay?
01:18:29Think.
01:18:30What are our strengths?
01:18:32Well, you are the protein king, so...
01:18:35Please don't call me that.
01:18:37What?
01:18:37You have the best meat I've ever tasted.
01:18:41Okay, you can say that again.
01:18:44Okay.
01:18:46Um, and you are clearly the pastry queen.
01:18:50Um, so what's something that showcases both of our talents?
01:18:58Beef, belly, beef.
01:19:00You make the pastry.
01:19:01Okay, and you make the cinderling.
01:19:03Got it.
01:19:18Were you always that rough?
01:19:20Okay?
01:19:22All right.
01:19:23Give me your meat.
01:19:28Well, it's time to make it a rice, huh?
01:19:30Now for my signature garnish.
01:19:47Wow, it looks like Chef Laurent's finished with 10 minutes to spare.
01:19:52What do you want?
01:20:05I just wanted to say...
01:20:08I'm sorry.
01:20:10For everything.
01:20:12Will you forgive me for the damage that I've caused?
01:20:14Mark, no hurt feelings, right?
01:20:30No.
01:20:33Your signature shallots.
01:20:35What an explosive garnish.
01:20:51Hey!
01:20:51Are you okay?
01:21:03No.
01:21:03Did any oil hit you?
01:21:05No, I'm fine.
01:21:05I'm fine.
01:21:06I...
01:21:06It's Beef Wellington.
01:21:09It's...
01:21:09It's ruined.
01:21:12Are we gonna lose now?
01:21:13Hey, look.
01:21:15My whole life I've been told how important this competition is.
01:21:18But there's more to this world than just cups, stars, and dollar science.
01:21:26Right?
01:21:28I have one more dish to go.
01:21:41It's impossible.
01:21:42No chef could win the culinary cup with only five minutes.
01:21:46And with no ingredients?
01:21:47If anyone could, it's Chef Rivers.
01:21:49The best student I've ever had.
01:21:51What are you doing?
01:21:52We have only five minutes.
01:21:58We have only five minutes.
01:22:28What's this?
01:22:37She seems to have frozen in place.
01:22:39Is she choking?
01:22:45For you, Mark.
01:22:58I call it Cloud Eggs.
01:23:27Because behind the cloudy white is a red sun ready to shine.
01:23:38Do you like it?
01:23:41You know, I'm going to be the greatest chef in the world.
01:23:45Really?
01:23:47Maybe I will too.
01:23:48Then we should cook together.
01:23:51You could be my soul chef.
01:23:53You mean sous chef.
01:23:55Pretty sure it's soul chef.
01:23:58Let's go.
01:24:00Mark.
01:24:00Why are you?
01:24:01Take my cookbook.
01:24:03So we could cook together again.
01:24:07It's you.
01:24:21It's you.
01:24:21It's always been you.
01:24:26Chef Maya Miller was my mother.
01:24:27And you kept my notebook.
01:24:32All those years.
01:24:34You're my first soul chef.
01:24:36And the winner of this year's Culinary Cup by default is Vanessa Leran.
01:24:53That's my girl.
01:24:56That's my girl.
01:24:57Eat it, Hailey.
01:24:58You loser.
01:25:00Yes.
01:25:03Well, I'm sorry I lied to you about who I am.
01:25:06And for being a spy.
01:25:09I am sorry that I am such a dick.
01:25:12I am an asshole.
01:25:16So apparently you can't be both.
01:25:20Hailey, can you forgive me?
01:25:27Hailey, can you forgive me?
01:25:32Only if you forgive me first.
01:25:38Your mother spent their whole lives chasing that cup.
01:25:41Yeah.
01:25:42And they lost themselves to win it.
01:25:45We win.
01:25:46You lose.
01:25:48How's it feel to eat my leftovers?
01:25:50Now I'm not the only millionaire in town with a hot chef girlfriend.
01:25:55You got that, Ron?
01:25:56Oh, do I?
01:25:57I am a billionaire, not a millionaire.
01:26:03Prove it.
01:26:05Okay.
01:26:05I can afford to serve another knuckle sandwich.
