00:00:00Looking like a total dork by Hannah Kellyanne.
00:00:03Dorks are good. Dorks don't get head injuries.
00:00:05If I had a head injury right now, maybe I'd forget how lame I look.
00:00:10Hey, need a hand?
00:00:12Oh, no, I've got it. Thanks. You look like you've got your hands full anyway.
00:00:15True enough.
00:00:30Good morning. Good morning.
00:00:32Looks like they're finally starting work on the place next door.
00:00:35I saw a painter out front just now.
00:00:37You ready for a little competition?
00:00:40That's a please.
00:00:41It's called the Five Alarm Grill. Not exactly refined.
00:00:52Gil? Danny?
00:00:54Please tell me again why we thought a bunch of firefighters could open up a restaurant.
00:01:03Because we're used to cooking for large groups of people.
00:01:05We know every firefighter, cop, and paramedic in this town, and they love to eat.
00:01:10Let's get it done.
00:01:12Came to help.
00:01:12Hey, Chief. I thought we agreed no restaurant work while you were on duty.
00:01:17I put half my retirement savings into this place.
00:01:19I'm here to supervise my investment.
00:01:21And I'm off duty, so let's clean this place up.
00:01:25What in the world?
00:01:36Music?
00:01:38Oh, Sarah, come on.
00:01:41No, seriously.
00:01:55Don't throw the kid out.
00:02:09First you want to try the beef, and then you taste the wine.
00:02:14Excuse me?
00:02:15Don't you mean pardonnez-moi?
00:02:17I can see where it might be a little confusing,
00:02:19where you might think that pardonnez-moi means pardon me, as in excuse me.
00:02:23But actually, pardonnez-moi means forgive me.
00:02:26And no, I don't.
00:02:27Turn down the music, please.
00:02:34Nice meeting you, neighbor.
00:02:40How'd it go?
00:02:43He's an overgrown child.
00:02:45Who?
00:02:47The owner, or co-owner, and chef, and cook, or I don't know.
00:02:52He's painting before, and I guess he does it all,
00:02:55including being a sarcastic jerk.
00:02:56And he says that I'm not neighborly.
00:02:58That's hilarious.
00:02:59Wow, seems like someone made an impression.
00:03:03Is he cute?
00:03:06He is, isn't he, Sarah?
00:03:07Oh, Pussy, you've got a one-track mind.
00:03:10I know.
00:03:15Oh, no.
00:03:16What?
00:03:17It's nothing.
00:03:18It's junk mail.
00:03:20Dad, how exactly am I supposed to get this paint out of my hair?
00:03:23Make some turpentine in your baby shampoo.
00:03:25I'm pretty sure I have some in the garage.
00:03:27Bring me some diet root beer while you're out there.
00:03:30Well, here's a smart idea.
00:03:32As Mom would say, spoken like a true man.
00:03:34You're right, that is what Mom would say.
00:03:39You know she's always watching over you, don't you?
00:03:42Yeah.
00:03:43I know she's watching over me.
00:03:47And I still really miss her.
00:03:50I do, too.
00:04:05Now, we're doing it, Kate.
00:04:07We're finally opening a restaurant.
00:04:09You're gonna love it.
00:04:17Hi, Dave.
00:04:19Hi, my girl.
00:04:23Oh, you come here.
00:04:26Oh.
00:04:29You think I'm neighborly, right?
00:04:34You ready with that cream?
00:04:35Yep, both the cream and my arm are almost completely done.
00:04:49It's lovely.
00:05:09That is just lovely.
00:05:11I was impressed with my class in the Cordon Bleu for nothing.
00:05:20Hey, what are you doing?
00:05:39I just saw something covered in chocolate and whipped cream go by.
00:05:43Can we get some dessert?
00:05:44Honey, we're not dressed for that place.
00:05:46Dad.
00:05:47Come on, let's just finish up.
00:05:49I'll buy you an ice cream.
00:05:54Looks like it's going to be a bit colder in the base in Vista Grande,
00:05:58but we could sure use the rain.
00:05:59Thanks, Storm.
00:06:00And that's your Channel 17 weekend weather forecast from Storm Collins.
00:06:04And now Redmond Roads has the place to dine this weekend in the Central Valley.
00:06:09Thank you, Nora.
00:06:10And yes, indeed.
00:06:11Last night I had probably the most amazing meal I've ever had,
00:06:15which is why Redmond Roads restaurant recommendation for this weekend
00:06:19takes us to the city of Merced
00:06:21and a delightful eating establishment called Little Italy,
00:06:24where the pasta was not only spectacular,
00:06:28but, and this is rare these days, Nora, entirely homemade.
00:06:32Oh, that sounds delicious.
00:06:33Little Italy had big flavor, huh, Redmond?
00:06:35Yes, indeed, Nora, but not big prices.
00:06:38I'm Redmond Roads.
00:06:42Anna, can you take these out to the trash?
00:06:45Then we can head out.
00:06:54Oh.
00:06:55I'm sorry.
00:06:56I'm sorry.
00:06:57I didn't mean to scare you.
00:06:58I apologize.
00:06:59Here's your book, Les Miserables.
00:07:02It's a wonderful book.
00:07:03You speak French?
00:07:05Yes.
00:07:05Oui, je parle.
00:07:06I speak, I lived in France for several years.
00:07:09Is it beautiful?
00:07:10It is.
00:07:11It's just, it's gorgeous.
00:07:13My mom was really into French stuff.
00:07:16Yeah?
00:07:17This was her book.
00:07:19We were reading it together.
00:07:22We even planned a family vacation to Paris.
00:07:24Ah, you were, you were planning.
00:07:26What happened?
00:07:30My mom had cancer.
00:07:33She got better.
00:07:34We were all going to go to Paris together.
00:07:37She never did get better.
00:07:40God, I'm sorry.
00:07:42I'm really sorry, honey.
00:07:45It's fine.
00:07:48Yeah, I gotcha.
00:07:50I gotcha.
00:07:52I studied French last year in school.
00:07:54Did you?
00:08:00Um, you said something like, that's good?
00:08:05Yes.
00:08:06And that we can talk in French?
00:08:10Very good.
00:08:10If you ever want to speak French, just, uh, you know, I'm the chef next door in the restaurant.
00:08:15Come on over and we'll talk any time you want.
00:08:18Thanks.
00:08:19You're welcome.
00:08:20I saw someone order this chocolate thing with whipped cream on it.
00:08:24It looked amazing.
00:08:25Yes.
00:08:26Did you make that?
00:08:27I certainly did.
00:08:29Crêpe au chocolat, chocolate crepes.
00:08:31I'll make them for you anytime.
00:08:32Just come on over, all right?
00:08:34You're welcome.
00:08:36I'm Sarah.
00:08:37I'm Hannah.
00:08:38Hannah, nice to meet you.
00:08:40Au revoir, Sarah.
00:08:41Au revoir, Hannah.
00:08:56Hey, tell Taylor I said hi.
00:08:58I will.
00:08:58All right, you two have a good night.
00:08:59See you later.
00:09:03Well, we're finished, kiddo.
00:09:05Tomorrow's opening day.
00:09:06We gotta celebrate.
00:09:08Well, can we go next door and get that chocolate crepe thing?
00:09:10Really?
00:09:10That's what you want to do?
00:09:12Because I was thinking pizza and a movie.
00:09:14Dad, come on.
00:09:15How much do you think we're going to go out to you when you're running your own restaurant?
00:09:19This could be our last chance.
00:09:22You're a little dramatic, but you make a point.
00:09:27You think I need a tuxedo for this fancy French place?
00:09:31If you do that in there, I'll tell everyone you kidnapped me.
00:09:38Hi, welcome to Chez Varenne.
00:09:42Have you guys been here before?
00:09:43Oh, no, but Chef Sarah said she made crepe chocolat for me.
00:09:48You know Chef Westbrook?
00:09:50I met her the other day.
00:09:51You did?
00:09:54Well, take a moment to look over the menu, and I will let Chef Westbrook,
00:09:58Sarah, know that you're here.
00:10:00Oh, hey, that's not necessary.
00:10:02Chef Westbrook?
00:10:03Yes?
00:10:04The little girl at table four said she knows you.
00:10:08I thought maybe you want to say hello.
00:10:11You know a little girl?
00:10:16Hi, Hannah.
00:10:17Hey, Sarah.
00:10:17How are you?
00:10:18It's good to see you.
00:10:19Me, too.
00:10:21Oh.
00:10:23This is your father?
00:10:27Family.
00:10:27Family.
00:10:28Oh, I see.
00:10:29Your father?
00:10:32Yeah.
00:10:32Oh.
00:10:35How nice.
00:10:36Hannah, you know what?
00:10:37Chef Westbrook's really busy.
00:10:38Why don't we just order?
00:10:39Okay.
00:10:39What can I tell you about the menu?
00:10:40Well, uh, what is cote de veau au fromage?
00:10:47Okay.
00:10:48Um, what is cote de veau au fromage?
00:10:50Ah, excellent pronunciation.
00:10:53Cote de veau au fromage.
00:10:54It is veal cooked with ham and cheese in a-
00:10:58Veal?
00:10:59Yes.
00:10:59Oh, no, no.
00:11:00I can't eat veal.
00:11:02It's baby cow and they lock them up.
00:11:04You know what, Hannah?
00:11:05I absolutely felt the same way when I was your age.
00:11:07Honestly, you don't know what you're missing.
00:11:08It's very, very delicious.
00:11:10But I respect your views.
00:11:12What else looks good?
00:11:14What is, uh, beef carpaccio?
00:11:17Beef carpaccio?
00:11:18It's a raw beef and it's cooked very lightly in a lemon juice.
00:11:21Honey, why don't you just have the whole roasted chicken?
00:11:22That's simple enough.
00:11:24Actually, no, she'll have the beef bourguignon,
00:11:25which is just basically beef stew with a bed of publicist.
00:11:28I'll have the duck confit.
00:11:30That's confit.
00:11:30Duck confit.
00:11:32An excellent choice.
00:11:33Merci.
00:11:39She's really nice.
00:11:40Isn't she?
00:11:48One beef bourguignon and a duck confit, please.
00:11:52Your new little friend is with...
00:11:55Her father, who also happens to be the jerk next door.
00:11:57Really?
00:11:58The firefighter?
00:12:00I don't know.
00:12:01He's so handsome.
00:12:03No, he's not.
00:12:04He's a barbarian.
00:12:04He called my beef bourguignon beef stew.
00:12:08No.
00:12:12I know. Get back to work, Patsy.
00:12:14I got you.
00:12:17Jesus.
00:12:19Why are you making us do this in the rain, in the fog, in the cold?
00:12:23Because we taste everything we cook, and everything we cook has butter in it.
00:12:27Not that much.
00:12:28Patsy, we buy 35 pounds of butter every week.
00:12:31Yes, and sometimes we have some left over.
00:12:33Yeah?
00:12:33Oh, yeah?
00:12:35I don't think you're running off the butter.
00:12:37I think you're running off the fight with Mr. Handsome Firefighter.
00:12:39Would you stop calling him that?
00:12:41And besides, it's healthy to run off negative feelings.
00:12:43It's not healthy.
00:12:46It's not healthy when you're this old.
00:12:48Okay, then let's slow down.
00:12:49As I was saying, it is not healthy to replace your attraction with exercise.
00:12:54You know, just because you get hot and sweaty out here doesn't mean
00:12:58you're still not all hot and bothered about him.
00:13:00Patsy, please!
00:13:01Besides, you know, I cannot believe that he is Hannah's father.
00:13:05Such a sweet, wonderful little girl.
00:13:07How could she have such a cretin for a father?
00:13:10Maybe he's not such a cretin after all.
00:13:15Come on now, speed it up.
00:13:16But hold on, seriously.
00:13:18You know what?
00:13:18You're such a weenie.
00:13:19Wait, wait, wait.
00:13:20Come on.
00:13:20Come on, it's good for the waist.
00:13:22All right, ready?
00:13:24I'm ready.
00:13:24We're ready.
00:13:25Let's do this, Dad.
00:13:37Now we wait.
00:13:38Wait?
00:13:39We were told there would be no waiting.
00:13:42Chief, Mrs. Stanton, come on in.
00:13:45In two minutes.
00:13:45How could there be a wait?
00:13:46Let's go.
00:13:48Welcome.
00:13:50I don't want to go here.
00:13:51No, that's not.
00:13:53Oh, look.
00:13:54Hey, want to try this new one?
00:13:55Yeah.
00:13:55Yeah, dude?
00:13:56Yeah, that's great.
00:13:57Come on.
00:13:58Hey, welcome to the Five Alarm Grill.
00:13:59Come on in.
00:14:00Hi.
00:14:00Welcome, everyone.
00:14:05Hi, welcome.
00:14:06Detective Bates, Detective Ramirez.
00:14:07Why don't you guys sit right there?
00:14:15What are you doing?
00:14:24Well, you know how we used to initiate rookies into the firehouse?
00:14:27Yeah.
00:14:27Well, I think our new neighbor deserves an initiation of her own.
00:14:30So you're going to haze Snooty McQuenshion?
00:14:32No, I'm not hazing her.
00:14:33I'm just welcoming her creatively to the neighborhood.
00:14:36You do realize that we're the new ones here, right?
00:14:38Semantics.
00:14:45Uh, Chef Westbrook?
00:14:49Yes.
00:14:49The woman at table six says she wants the gnocchi marinara special.
00:14:53I'm sorry, what?
00:14:54She said it was on our specials board.
00:14:56We don't get it.
00:15:00I want to see.
00:15:07What is that?
00:15:09Barbarian.
00:15:10Oh, he said he does not know who he's messing with.
00:15:13It is kind of funny when you think about it.
00:15:15I mean, special.
00:15:17Okay, it's not funny.
00:15:18It's, uh, it's clever.
00:15:23Hey, I mean, it's not clever.
00:15:25All right, well, thanks for coming, you guys.
00:15:26Come again.
00:15:27Bring your kids.
00:15:28I can't believe it.
00:15:29That gnocchi was incredible.
00:15:30Oh, forget the pasta.
00:15:31I have never had French tempura before.
00:15:34So unique.
00:15:42Hey, Hannah.
00:15:47Hey, Sarah.
00:15:48Hey, how are you?
00:15:49What are you doing?
00:15:50I'm going down to the bookstore.
00:15:51Dad gave me money to buy some new books.
00:15:53Oh, that's nice of him.
00:15:57Were you at a yoga class?
00:15:58Yes, yes, I was.
00:15:59It's a great way to relieve stress from work.
00:16:02Stress?
00:16:04You know, you should work with the firemen.
00:16:07Yeah, why?
00:16:08Because then the guys never seem stressed.
00:16:10Even at the fire station, they're always goofing around
00:16:13and playing dump games and playing pranks on each other.
00:16:16Pranks?
00:16:17Really?
00:16:18Yeah, they're about as mature as the boys in my class.
00:16:20Yeah, that sounds about right.
00:16:22Hey, would you mind if I walked down to the bookstore with you?
00:16:24Sure.
00:16:24Yeah?
00:16:25All right.
00:16:27So wait a minute.
00:16:27You said something about pranks.
00:16:28They play a lot of pranks on each other.
00:16:30What?
00:16:30Yeah.
00:16:32Well, one time, uh, Danny...
00:16:40I never get enough sleep, trust me.
00:16:44Are we expecting a run on quiches?
00:16:47No, not exactly.
00:16:48What are you doing then?
00:16:50Hard-boiling eggs.
00:16:51Why?
00:16:51Well, I thought the Five Alarm Grill guys might find them an interesting challenge.
00:16:56Oh my god, you're gonna replace their eggs with hard-boiled ones?
00:17:00Okay, now that's funny.
00:17:02Just a little thank you for their unexpected input to my menu.
00:17:07How can I help?
00:17:10Excuse me.
00:17:16Well, hello there.
00:17:17How may I be of service?
00:17:18Well, I just had the best food here the other day,
00:17:21and I wanted to personally thank the chef.
00:17:24Chefs.
00:17:25Everyone.
00:17:26Everyone involved in making the deliciousness that I enjoyed.
00:17:37Gil.
00:17:38Danny.
00:17:39Get out here for a second.
00:17:48Hi.
00:17:49Hey.
00:17:49You're the chef?
00:17:50I'm one of them.
00:17:51This is Danny.
00:17:51I'm Gil.
00:17:52Good to see you.
00:17:52Hi.
00:17:53Nice to meet you.
00:17:54Nice to meet you.
00:17:55Good firm handshake.
00:18:08These are hard-boiled.
00:18:34These are all hard-boiled.
00:18:36Amateur.
00:18:37Okay.
00:18:37Well, looks like we're having a deviled egg special in honor of the devil next door.
00:18:41Okay, man.
00:18:41I'm with you.
00:18:42Hey, can you grab me the bacon from the fridge?
00:18:47It's okay.
00:18:49Pretend pig, soy, vegan, pork substitute.
00:18:54Gil, no one should have to eat this stuff.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:58Nice touch, neighbor.
00:19:00Game on.
00:19:02Um, this man says that he's here from the health department.
00:19:05Something about an anonymous tip that the restaurant was in need of an inspection.
00:19:14Nice.
00:19:22Oh, no.
00:19:23Did someone have a little visitor from the county health department?
00:19:27I did.
00:19:28Isn't it pretty?
00:19:38Oh.
00:19:43Sandy McFrenchie?
00:19:43Whoa.
00:19:45Well, she's in over her head.
00:19:46Put in another CD.
00:19:47Yeah.
00:19:49Bach.
00:19:50Mozart.
00:19:51Wagner.
00:19:53Verdi and...
00:19:57Stravinsky.
00:19:59Wow.
00:20:00Seriously?
00:20:06Suppose you have an opinion on our music?
00:20:08Yes, yes, I do, actually.
00:20:09It's beautiful.
00:20:11Feel free to turn that up.
00:20:14Have a good one.
00:20:21Patsy?
00:20:30Why did I open a restaurant in a recession?
00:20:33Is it bad?
00:20:36No, it's about the same.
00:20:37It's just...
00:20:38Eventually, it's not going to cut it.
00:20:40We're just getting by at this point.
00:20:42Well, what can we change?
00:20:44Well, obviously, my postcards didn't work, nor did the coupons in the newspapers.
00:20:48We have to...
00:20:49People have got to know that we're here, you know?
00:20:52We've got to...
00:20:53Maybe that's not the problem.
00:20:55What do you mean?
00:20:55I mean, the restaurant is lovely, really.
00:20:58But your prices are higher than a lot of other places nearby.
00:21:01I mean, the Five Alarm Grill doesn't seem to be suffering because of the economy.
00:21:04You know, the five...
00:21:05Our prices are higher because the quality of our ingredients is higher.
00:21:09We have artful presentation.
00:21:10But, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:11That is part of the problem, too.
00:21:13I mean, look, because high-end fare is not family-friendly.
00:21:16I mean, last month, you refused to serve a family ketchup for their little girl.
00:21:20Look, perhaps if you served simpler fare than me...
00:21:23You can't say I'm a classically-trained French chef.
00:21:25I'm not going to dumb down my food.
00:21:28We've got to beef up our marketing efforts.
00:21:31That sounds like a good idea.
00:21:33And now we welcome Redmond Rhodes, who has the place to eat this week.
00:21:38Oh, my gosh.
00:21:40That's it. That's perfect.
00:21:41What?
00:21:41What?
00:21:42I was rustling up some magic at the Fair Oaks Cafe.
00:21:45The Channel 17 News anchor, Redmond Rhodes, he does a weekly restaurant recommendation.
00:21:50And last week, they did a show in the seafood place down the street.
00:21:53And I walked by on Saturday.
00:21:54There was a line at the door.
00:21:55This is so what I'm going to do.
00:21:57This is unbelievably perfect.
00:21:58Wait a minute.
00:21:59Hold on. I'm going to email them.
00:22:00And it's free publicity, Patsy.
00:22:02It's free.
00:22:10Thank you very much.
00:22:11Have a good day.
00:22:15Uh, what have you got here?
00:22:17Is this, uh, Dana?
00:22:17Hannah?
00:22:19It's Sarah.
00:22:19I see you everywhere now.
00:22:22You shopping for onions?
00:22:23Yeah.
00:22:23My dad sent me over here to get some.
00:22:25He'll be back in a minute.
00:22:27Ah.
00:22:28All right.
00:22:28Well, um, it was good to see you.
00:22:31All right.
00:22:31I got to rush off, but I'll see you around.
00:22:34Sarah?
00:22:35Yeah?
00:22:36Do you know which kinds I should get?
00:22:38Because my dad said to get two dozen, but I didn't know there were so many kinds.
00:22:42Uh, yeah.
00:22:43That's actually a really good question,
00:22:45because there's a bunch of different varieties that we use for different things.
00:22:47Um, the yellow onions, uh, are really good for sauteing.
00:22:51Good for sauces and soups, creams.
00:22:54Um, but those are the ones that make you cry a lot.
00:22:56Um, the Spanish onion.
00:22:57Now, this one, uh, is a little bit sweeter.
00:23:00You're going to want to use this one for onion rings.
00:23:02Okay.
00:23:02We need those.
00:23:03I figured as much.
00:23:05Um, now red onions are really the only onions that you're going to want to eat raw.
00:23:09Um, I'm going to assume that your dad's going to be putting these on burgers and sandwiches.
00:23:13You're right.
00:23:16Um, well, listen, I really do have to rush off,
00:23:18but, um, uh, you'll come speak French with me sometime?
00:23:21Yeah.
00:23:22All right. All right, bye.
00:23:23Bye.
00:23:26Kiddo.
00:23:29Chef Westbrook helping you pick out some onions, huh?
00:23:31Yeah.
00:23:32You know, those are actually really good onions.
00:23:34You know what these are for?
00:23:35What?
00:23:36These are for juggling.
00:23:43Dad, do you and Sarah not like each other or something?
00:23:51I wouldn't say we don't like each other.
00:23:54She's a bit, um...
00:23:55Okay, I'm...
00:23:56You know what?
00:23:57You need vegetables.
00:23:58Dad, answer the question.
00:24:02These are juggling potatoes.
00:24:07Hey, Dad, I'm going to hang out next door.
00:24:09Pour pâté francais avec Sarah.
00:24:12Okay, Hannah, sure.
00:24:14What's the matter?
00:24:16Uh, well, I just bought all this crab at the market,
00:24:19and I was going to make the crab cakes that we made the other night.
00:24:22Oh, those were really good.
00:24:23Yeah, those were good.
00:24:24These are not.
00:24:25Gil, you just dropped a bunch of cash on some crab
00:24:28and put a big sign outside that announces
00:24:30we're having crab cake as a special.
00:24:33Are you telling me we're not serving them?
00:24:35Well, I'm not going to serve crab mush sandwiches.
00:24:37Not to mention the mush I've got going here doesn't taste right.
00:24:40So as far as the customers are concerned, we're out of crab.
00:24:42At 11 o'clock in the morning.
00:25:03Hey, Hannah, are you here to speak some French, mademoiselle?
00:25:05Actually, I need a favor.
00:25:08Yes.
00:25:15Did your dad change the recipe at all?
00:25:18No, my dad doesn't use recipes.
00:25:20He says cooking's about instinct.
00:25:23You just know when it's good.
00:25:25Oh, clearly that's not true.
00:25:28Um, all right, what we've got here is crab, eggs, breadcrumbs,
00:25:36probably some mayonnaise, some Dijon mustard,
00:25:41lemon juice from a bottle, unfortunately,
00:25:43black pepper, some green onion, and way too much dill.
00:25:49Wow, you're like a food psychic.
00:25:52Yes, I am.
00:25:53And my psychic powers tells me that your dad made
00:25:55a little bit more than he usually makes today.
00:25:57Yeah, he did.
00:25:58Yeah, yeah.
00:25:59See, you know, some recipes you can't multiply without making changes.
00:26:03You know, the proportions are probably all off.
00:26:05Here, I thought you'd have to try this.
00:26:09Thanks, Sarah.
00:26:10You're welcome.
00:26:11My pleasure.
00:26:13You know, I gotta tell you, you're like a natural-born chef, you know that?
00:26:16If you ever want a lesson, feel free to come over
00:26:19and we'll speak a little French while we're doing it.
00:26:21Oui?
00:26:22Awesome.
00:26:29Here you go.
00:26:31Um, you know, Hannah, can I ask you a question?
00:26:36Why did your dad decide to open up a restaurant?
00:26:41Um, a few months after my mom died.
00:26:46Dad had this really big, scary fire and the ceiling
00:26:50being for like a foot in front of him.
00:26:54After that, I didn't want to be a firefighter anymore.
00:27:01He used to cook for the whole fire station.
00:27:05So they all decided to open a restaurant together.
00:27:08That's a great idea.
00:27:10He sounds like a good dad.
00:27:12He's the best.
00:27:16You're welcome.
00:27:20Um, and Hannah, tell him to try, um, some fresh lemon zest.
00:27:24It's fresh lemon peel.
00:27:26Maybe some capers, too.
00:27:29You're welcome.
00:27:31Au revoir.
00:27:33Au revoir.
00:27:35Goodbye, sweetie.
00:27:44Sarah Westbrook, that was very friendly of you.
00:27:52Anyway, I think that, uh, Hannah's dad and you have a little in common.
00:27:57Like what?
00:27:57Honey, loss is a loss.
00:28:00So, put that back outside.
00:28:10There's gonna be crab cakes on the menu after all.
00:28:18There you go.
00:28:20Capers.
00:28:22Nice touch.
00:28:28Those are really good.
00:28:30You know what?
00:28:31Sarah totally saved the day.
00:28:33You did good, kid.
00:28:42It was a good night, honey.
00:28:43Not great.
00:28:45I don't know what to do.
00:28:47I invited local food critics to come and have a meal.
00:28:50I've had my friends write glowing reviews to centralvalleyeats.com.
00:28:54I'm gonna write Redmond Rhodes another email.
00:28:56Sarah, I think you're getting a little obsessed.
00:28:58You've emailed him.
00:28:59You left messages at the station.
00:29:02You send that guy one more note.
00:29:03He's not gonna be doing a story on Che Varenne.
00:29:06He's gonna be reporting on a local restaurateur who's stalking him.
00:29:09Though that could work, too, if you're interested in another angle.
00:29:13It's not funny.
00:29:14It's a little funny.
00:29:22Thanks for coming, you guys.
00:29:24See you later.
00:29:27So, Taylor, Hannah, how is it growing up in a restaurant, huh?
00:29:31Not that different from growing up in a firehouse.
00:29:35Yeah, loud guys and tons of food.
00:29:37That is why you're starting dance classes Monday.
00:29:40So you can totally girl out.
00:29:42Then can Hannah sleep over?
00:29:44Yeah.
00:29:44Sure, why not?
00:29:45Yeah!
00:29:46Come on, Dad, can I?
00:29:47I guess so, but it's our day off tomorrow.
00:29:49What am I supposed to do?
00:29:50Maybe relax or something by yourself for a change.
00:29:53All right, you done with this?
00:29:54Because I'm gonna dish duty.
00:29:58Oh, my gosh, it's gonna be so much fun.
00:30:00Welcome back to KXP Nightly News.
00:30:01I'm Nora Smithson.
00:30:03Good night, Sarah.
00:30:04Good night.
00:30:08Thank you, Nora.
00:30:09No, we can't, we are not putting flowers or anything.
00:30:14You won't even have enough time.
00:30:16You'll be asleep at 7.30.
00:30:187.30?
00:30:19No.
00:30:197.30.
00:30:20No, that's way too early.
00:30:22Yes, I mean, 7.45.
00:30:24No, seriously?
00:30:26It's tomorrow's class.
00:30:28I'll take the sticks.
00:30:30I'll take the sticks.
00:30:32I'll take the sticks.
00:30:34I'll take the sticks.
00:30:47Hey, Patsy.
00:30:48Did you...
00:30:52Oh, it's you.
00:30:54Um, can I help you?
00:30:56Can I come in?
00:30:58By all means.
00:31:04Uh, Hannah told me that she came by and asked you to play food detective with my disastrous crab cakes.
00:31:08Yes.
00:31:10And these are much improved, so I want to thank you.
00:31:12And also, I thought you might want to try some.
00:31:14Oh, you're welcome.
00:31:16My pleasure. It's nothing, really.
00:31:18It's what I do. It's my job. Food.
00:31:20Yeah, but entertaining the whims of precocious nine-year-old girls is not, so...
00:31:24Thank you for that, too.
00:31:26She reminds me of myself at that age.
00:31:34So, uh...
00:31:36Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:38Thank you, Nora.
00:31:40Well, let me tell you, I am still full from last night's dinner.
00:31:42Which is why the Redmond Roads restaurant recommendation this Friday is in the city of Vista Grande.
00:31:48And is, drumroll, please...
00:31:52The Dharma Diner.
00:31:54Local animal shelters are asking for donations to help with...
00:31:58Sorry about that.
00:32:00So, what, you don't like Indian food?
00:32:02Because I've been to that place. It's got amazing chicken bindaloo.
00:32:04Really? No, no, no.
00:32:06I love Indian food. I'm sure it's wonderful.
00:32:08It's just, I was, uh, kind of...
00:32:12Stupid.
00:32:14You were hoping Redmond Roads restaurant recommendation for this weekend would be Chez Varenne?
00:32:20Listen, I don't want to sound...
00:32:22I don't know, but who cares what a toupee with a suit thinks, right?
00:32:26Well, apparently, a lot of people do.
00:32:28Because his broadcast has been known to have some very positive influence on restaurants.
00:32:34I was just hoping for maybe a little bit of a boost.
00:32:38My restaurant needs a little boost.
00:32:43I'm closed on Mondays.
00:32:46I know you're closed, too.
00:32:48I was wondering if I could take you to lunch.
00:32:50This is a thank you.
00:32:52Which, considering everything, would mean declaring a truce first.
00:32:58Good one. I know you're kidding.
00:33:00I'm not.
00:33:08Okay.
00:33:10Okay.
00:33:24Wow, you sure do know how to wine and dine a girl.
00:33:27Never been taken to a food truck before.
00:33:30Trust me.
00:33:32Oh, wow.
00:33:41Wow.
00:33:42I'm back.
00:33:44Brought a new kid.
00:33:48Is this the best shrimp sandwich you've ever had?
00:33:50The best. Not only the first, but the best, yes.
00:33:56So, this shrimp, it's marinated in a coconut bourbon reduction, yes?
00:34:01Yep.
00:34:03I believe I detect some Thai basil, poblano chili,
00:34:08a little bit of garlic, and, well, green curry, obviously.
00:34:12Wow. Yes, exactly.
00:34:15Hannah was right. You're like a food psychic.
00:34:18I do eat more than quiche and cream sauce.
00:34:24This is really beautiful.
00:34:27This is nothing.
00:34:29Are those comfortable?
00:34:31My shoes, yes.
00:34:33You want beautiful? I'll show you beautiful.
00:34:36Hey, hey, hey. Oh, my goodness.
00:34:53Feels like we're a million miles from the city.
00:34:56I know, right?
00:34:59Nice.
00:35:01Impressive.
00:35:03Here we go.
00:35:05Where are you going? I got the keys.
00:35:08It's beautiful.
00:35:13Hey, look.
00:35:15Huh?
00:35:16Look at this.
00:35:18Oh, it's like a little daisy.
00:35:21Daisy. That's my cat's name.
00:35:24Oh, yeah? Yeah.
00:35:26Favorite flower?
00:35:28Oh, my mom's. My mom's favorite flowers are daisies.
00:35:31Oh, that's a nice tribute.
00:35:34Where did the name Chez Varenne come from?
00:35:36Well, François-Pierre de La Varenne was one of the founding fathers of French cuisine
00:35:41back in the time of Louis XIV.
00:35:43I don't know, when you think of the mastery that is French cooking,
00:35:48you know, the precision and the technique, you think Varenne.
00:35:51Voilà . Chez Varenne.
00:35:53Huh. Really? What?
00:35:55I'm sorry you would pick such a sentimental name for your cat but not your restaurant.
00:36:00Well, a cat is a living, breathing thing that you care for.
00:36:03Yeah, but so is a restaurant.
00:36:05I mean, in order for it to thrive, it needs love, attention,
00:36:11it needs community.
00:36:14I mean, how is that any different from a pet?
00:36:18But it could be raw.
00:36:19Oh, I think it's a very good point.
00:36:26What?
00:36:28I just wanted to let you know that Hannah told me about your wife
00:36:34and I wanted to say how very sorry I was,
00:36:38but that obviously you are doing an amazing job with Hannah.
00:36:43Oh, thank you.
00:36:45She's a big fan of yours, by the way.
00:36:49Well, maybe it's because we have something in common.
00:36:53Oh?
00:36:55I lost both of my parents when I was 15.
00:36:59Drunk driver.
00:37:01Sarah, I'm sorry.
00:37:03Yeah, me too.
00:37:12Daisy, you are not going to believe the day I had.
00:37:17Come here, sweet girl.
00:37:19I am covered in dirt and I had lunch in a food truck.
00:37:26I love when you hug me.
00:37:28And I had the best day I've had in a really long time.
00:37:49I love you.
00:38:20Hello.
00:38:21How was your day off?
00:38:22It was great.
00:38:24Fine.
00:38:25You know, I don't know.
00:38:29It was fine.
00:38:32Great with an immediate downgrade to fine.
00:38:34You want to talk about it?
00:38:36Nothing to talk about.
00:38:37Sarah?
00:38:38Should I get started on the bread?
00:38:40I think.
00:38:44You're humming.
00:38:47Sarah, Westbrook doesn't hum.
00:38:55So, how was your day off?
00:38:56Why?
00:38:57I mean, it's just an average day.
00:38:58I went for a hike, got something to eat, that's all.
00:39:00If it was such an average day, why does it sound like you need to go to confession to deal with it?
00:39:05Sarah, where's the salmon?
00:39:09Oh.
00:39:12What?
00:39:13I didn't go to the market yesterday.
00:39:15We're out of salmon.
00:39:16You forgot?
00:39:18Oh, that's a first.
00:39:19I did not forget, Patsy.
00:39:21I was out all day, and I...
00:39:23We have ham.
00:39:24I will make a nice ham and roasted vegetable tureen.
00:39:28You know, that sounds delicious.
00:39:35Gil, Gil.
00:39:37Seriously?
00:39:40It's growing on me.
00:39:43Get a guy a break, okay?
00:39:45His judgment is clouded at the moment.
00:40:06All right, that's it.
00:40:08Oh, what is wrong with you?
00:40:10What is wrong with you?
00:40:11You tell me.
00:40:12You've been all over the place all day.
00:40:14There's something up.
00:40:15What is it?
00:40:16There's something wrong with me.
00:40:17May I have my cream back?
00:40:20Did something happen yesterday?
00:40:22What would happen yesterday?
00:40:24It was my day off.
00:40:25Simple.
00:40:27Aha.
00:40:29You're ridiculous, Patsy.
00:40:30You know that?
00:40:32All right, then.
00:40:33I am on strike until you talk.
00:40:36What?
00:40:38So that's what I did with my day off.
00:40:40Oh, that's great.
00:40:41Yeah?
00:40:42Yeah.
00:40:43Yeah, Gil, it's been two years.
00:40:46It's okay to get excited about someone, okay?
00:40:50Kate would have wanted that for you.
00:40:52I know that.
00:40:53I know that here.
00:40:54Not so much here.
00:40:56Plus, I worry about Hannah.
00:40:58Well, you said yourself that Hannah loves her.
00:41:00She does.
00:41:01And what happens if she gets all attached and it doesn't work out?
00:41:04Nice to put the cart before the horse, buddy.
00:41:09I think you're just freaked out about dating.
00:41:11How long has it been?
00:41:13Sixteen years.
00:41:14Yeah, it's probably time to get back on that horse, man.
00:41:17That's the one that's in front of the cart?
00:41:19Yeah, that's the one.
00:41:27Patsy, can you please get back here and peel the potatoes?
00:41:29I will get to that as soon as you talk.
00:41:31Patsy, please, don't be ridiculous.
00:41:33So?
00:41:34What happened yesterday?
00:41:36I went on a kind of date.
00:41:41That's it.
00:41:42With Gil.
00:41:48Gil the handsome firefighter, Gil?
00:41:50Yes.
00:41:51Yeah.
00:41:52Oh, Sarah.
00:41:53That's fantastic.
00:41:58Maybe.
00:41:59You know, I don't know.
00:42:01Well, was it a nice date?
00:42:05Yeah, it was nice.
00:42:06It was very nice.
00:42:07But that's not the point.
00:42:09What is the point?
00:42:10The point is, Patsy, is that I'm a chef and this is my restaurant.
00:42:13And, you know, I need to be here.
00:42:16I can't be off doing something with someone else.
00:42:19Because then it just, you know, it leads to, well, I want to move away.
00:42:22And I want you to pick my daughter up from school.
00:42:24And I'm like, whoa, hey, I didn't sign up to take your daughter to school.
00:42:27I love her.
00:42:28She's great.
00:42:29And then he wants to get married and move out to the suburbs.
00:42:32And then suddenly sell your business.
00:42:34I don't want you to work anymore.
00:42:35What do you mean you don't want me to work anymore?
00:42:37This is my dream.
00:42:38You know that that was my dream.
00:42:39That's how we met.
00:42:40And his mother, his mother doesn't like French food.
00:42:42Who doesn't like French food?
00:42:43Are you kidding me?
00:42:44Wow.
00:42:47Wow.
00:42:49Wow.
00:43:00Wow.
00:43:02Oh, man, you shouldn't have.
00:43:04Oh, Gil has the hots for the fancy French chef next door.
00:43:08Wow.
00:43:09You guys are idiots.
00:43:11Go, Gil.
00:43:12Go get him.
00:43:22Hey, there.
00:43:23Hey.
00:43:28Oh, wow.
00:43:30Look at those.
00:43:31I got them for you.
00:43:34You shouldn't have.
00:43:35It's really...
00:43:37I also wanted to make sure you knew that I had a lot of fun yesterday.
00:43:40And I would really love to do that again.
00:43:43Sometime.
00:43:44Yeah.
00:43:47I thought we were having a good time yesterday.
00:43:49Yes, we did.
00:43:51Maybe...
00:43:52Maybe too good of a time, actually.
00:43:54Do I understand that?
00:43:56I just think that maybe I'm not the relationship kind of gal.
00:44:03Wait, are we in a relationship?
00:44:05No, no, no, I didn't mean that.
00:44:06I'm...
00:44:08This restaurant has been my dream for ten years.
00:44:10And I'm trying really hard to make a success of it.
00:44:14But I just, I can't do that when I'm distracted.
00:44:19Okay.
00:44:20But, you know, we're still neighbors.
00:44:22Because we're right next to each other.
00:44:24Since we're neighbors.
00:44:25So, I really hope that we can still be neighbor-ly.
00:44:31You bet.
00:44:33Good.
00:44:34So, I'll just see you around.
00:44:35Okay.
00:44:36Yeah.
00:44:49Hey, Dad.
00:44:50Hey, kiddo.
00:44:58Those are beautiful.
00:45:01Those are from Gil, aren't they?
00:45:04So, did he ask you on an official date yet?
00:45:08Sarah?
00:45:10Yes, he did.
00:45:12He did?
00:45:13Yeah.
00:45:14Sarah?
00:45:16Yes, he did.
00:45:18You know, I said no.
00:45:20Why on earth would you say no?
00:45:21You're clearly smitten with him.
00:45:23Yeah, so smitten I walk around with my head in the clouds all day.
00:45:26What?
00:45:29Pats, you said it yourself.
00:45:30You know, I'm just, I'm not here.
00:45:31I haven't been here.
00:45:32I forgot the fish.
00:45:33I've never done that before.
00:45:34First time ever.
00:45:35You know, and that's after only one almost kinda maybe date-ish, right?
00:45:40God forbid I should get any more distracted.
00:45:42Honey, there's nothing wrong with having your head in the clouds, okay?
00:45:45You don't always have to be in such control all the time.
00:45:47Yes, I do.
00:45:49I do, Patsy.
00:45:50This is my restaurant.
00:45:51This is my livelihood.
00:45:52It is mine to make a success, and it is my failure if I lose focus.
00:45:56And I'm better on my own.
00:45:59It's, really.
00:46:00Oh, Sarah, come on.
00:46:02I'm gonna go finish tidying up the dining room.
00:46:04You're good in here, right?
00:46:05You got it.
00:46:06Thank you, Patsy.
00:46:07I appreciate it.
00:46:13Oh.
00:46:21Taylor laughed so hard that root beer spurt out of her nose.
00:46:24Isn't that so funny?
00:46:25Yeah, it's funny, kiddo.
00:46:32And then we hijacked a police car and took a joyride down to Mexico.
00:46:36It was muy bieno.
00:46:38Sounds like fun.
00:46:43So, uh, we need, like, how many kinds?
00:46:46Dad, look, there's Sarah.
00:46:51Oh, hey, let's let her shop.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:53I'm sure she wants to be alone.
00:46:54Sarah!
00:46:58Hi, client.
00:46:59How are you?
00:47:00Good morning.
00:47:01Good morning.
00:47:02Did you mean it when you said I could come cook with you?
00:47:04Well, absolutely.
00:47:05Absolutely.
00:47:06Anytime.
00:47:07Thanks, Sarah.
00:47:08You're welcome.
00:47:10Hey, Dad, you know what?
00:47:12Can I go get some lemonade?
00:47:13Yes.
00:47:15Yes, you can.
00:47:16I'm a little thirsty.
00:47:19Au revoir, Sarah.
00:47:20Au revoir.
00:47:22A tout à l'heure.
00:47:24Thanks for that.
00:47:25Yeah.
00:47:26She likes hanging out with you.
00:47:27I guess it runs in the family.
00:47:30I'll see you around, Sarah.
00:47:40Hi.
00:47:44Pats, I think we're going to prep for quiche lorraine today.
00:47:46Okay, sounds good.
00:47:47All right.
00:47:48Hey, Sarah.
00:47:49Hey, Hannah.
00:47:50Is it now okay to cook with you?
00:47:51Uh, yeah.
00:47:53I think so.
00:47:54Patsy can handle things for a little bit, right?
00:47:55Absolutely.
00:47:56All right, let's do this.
00:47:57Thanks, Patsy.
00:47:58Awesome.
00:48:00Now, this is your basic cream sauce.
00:48:02It's called a béchamel.
00:48:03Béchamel?
00:48:04Béchamel.
00:48:05Très bien.
00:48:06Yes.
00:48:07We're going to add the last heaping tablespoon of flour.
00:48:10Whisk that in there.
00:48:11Good job.
00:48:12It's going to get a little lumpy.
00:48:13That's fine.
00:48:14No worries.
00:48:15Butter will melt right in there.
00:48:16Excellent.
00:48:17Very nice.
00:48:18Very nice.
00:48:19Now, the next step is to add some hot milk.
00:48:21Just a little bit at a time.
00:48:22Keep whisking.
00:48:24Good job.
00:48:25Beautiful.
00:48:27We'll add this sauce to our croque monsieur a little bit later.
00:48:31Crunchy mister?
00:48:33Crunchy mister, yeah.
00:48:36That's what it translates to, literally, yes.
00:48:38But honestly, all it really is is a fancy grilled cheese sandwich with ham.
00:48:44Okay.
00:48:45Croque?
00:48:46No.
00:48:47Croque?
00:48:48Croque monsieur.
00:48:49Monsieur.
00:48:50Croque monsieur.
00:48:51Croque monsieur.
00:48:52Très bien.
00:48:53Very good.
00:48:54Crunchy mister is way funnier.
00:48:55It's way funnier.
00:48:57Oh, my goodness.
00:48:59Does that look right?
00:49:00Yeah, no, that looks great.
00:49:01A little pasty, like my complexion.
00:49:03Since I'm kind of missing out on summer these days.
00:49:05Hey, how's your summer vacation?
00:49:08Oh, it's good.
00:49:09Yeah?
00:49:10I got sunburned last week while horseback riding.
00:49:11You did?
00:49:12I'm so sorry.
00:49:13Horseback riding?
00:49:14I love horses.
00:49:15That sounds like fun.
00:49:18We should go on your day off.
00:49:20What?
00:49:21Oh.
00:49:22That would be fun, absolutely.
00:49:23I'm not so sure your dad would like that, but...
00:49:26No, he'd be fine with it.
00:49:28It's pretty cool.
00:49:29It can be like...
00:49:31A girl's day.
00:49:33A girl's day.
00:49:35I like that.
00:49:48So you've invited Sarah to ride with us, too?
00:49:51Staying?
00:49:52Gonna stay?
00:49:53Well, yeah.
00:49:54I just thought it'd be fun if we all went out.
00:49:56Oh, fun.
00:50:01Want me to leave?
00:50:03Not if you don't want to.
00:50:04That's, you know...
00:50:07Shall we?
00:50:10We shall.
00:50:16Okay.
00:50:18I guess this'll be my horse.
00:50:20There we go.
00:50:22You got your same horse, Dad?
00:50:23I got him.
00:50:24That was me.
00:50:27You like your horse, Sarah?
00:50:28Oh, yeah.
00:50:29Beautiful.
00:50:30Okay.
00:50:31Ready?
00:50:33Take a left.
00:50:35Drive.
00:50:39Hey, Hannah, slow down.
00:50:40Okay.
00:50:42Seem to be interfering with girls' day.
00:50:44I'm sorry about that.
00:50:46It's quite all right.
00:50:48I'm sure you didn't have much of a choice in it.
00:50:50She's very persistent, that Hannah.
00:50:52Yeah, but I like that about her.
00:50:53She'll be able to take care of herself while she grows up.
00:50:59Hannah, let's race.
00:51:01Okay.
00:51:18Whoa.
00:51:19Pull back on the reins.
00:51:20Pull down on the reins.
00:51:21That's it.
00:51:22Good job.
00:51:23Thank you, girl.
00:51:25Come on.
00:51:26We can eat later.
00:51:28I'll feed you later.
00:51:30Good boy.
00:51:32Good boy.
00:51:34Sarah.
00:51:36Hey, there.
00:51:37Look what Dad bought me.
00:51:38All right.
00:51:39Let's see what he got you here.
00:51:40Got some bread, some Gruyere cheese, some ham and mustard.
00:51:43Let's see.
00:51:44You making crunchy, mister?
00:51:45Yes, I am.
00:51:47Dad said I could cook for him on his day off.
00:51:49Yeah, I do all the cooking.
00:51:51Let her pick up some of the slack around the house.
00:51:52You know what I mean?
00:51:54You should come, Sarah.
00:51:55You know, that would be really lovely.
00:51:57You taught me how to make it, so you have to come.
00:52:00It's fine, right, Dad?
00:52:01Well, Sarah's always welcome.
00:52:03I just assume she has other plans.
00:52:05I would love to come.
00:52:07As long as I can bring the dessert.
00:52:09Of course.
00:52:10I'll see you at 7.30.
00:52:127.30 it is.
00:52:14Okay.
00:52:15Thanks so much.
00:52:16Anytime.
00:52:26Bye.
00:52:39Hi.
00:52:41Hi.
00:52:44So, how's our petite chef doing?
00:52:46She's hard at work and taking it very seriously.
00:52:49Come in.
00:52:50She lit the candles.
00:52:52Did she?
00:52:53Oh, that sucks.
00:52:55Come on.
00:53:05May I present Hannah Callahan's crunchy moustard.
00:53:10Beautiful.
00:53:12It's extra cheesy.
00:53:14Look at that beautiful cheese.
00:53:15It smells so good.
00:53:17Thanks, Dad.
00:53:19They look delicious, honey.
00:53:25Oh.
00:53:27That is so good.
00:53:29I could really get used to this, kiddo.
00:53:31Is it, like, really good or is it just good for a kid?
00:53:33What's kid good?
00:53:35You know, it's good for a kid, but not an adult.
00:53:37Or you say it is, but it's not that good because you don't want to hurt my feelings.
00:53:40Well, personally, I think that it's grown-up delicious.
00:53:42But what do I know?
00:53:43I'm just your dumb old dad.
00:53:44Why don't we ask an expert, Sarah?
00:53:46Mademoiselle Callahan, ce dîner est délicieux.
00:53:49No, that's not fair.
00:53:50I don't know what she said.
00:53:52She said,
00:53:53Mademoiselle Callahan,
00:53:55ce dîner est délicieux.
00:53:57Très bien.
00:53:59The most important lesson for a chef to learn
00:54:02is to eat our own food before it gets cold.
00:54:06Okay.
00:54:08What is it?
00:54:10This is some sort of cream.
00:54:12It's like a...
00:54:13Béchamel.
00:54:14Béchamel!
00:54:16Très bien.
00:54:23Okay, I'm going to go do the dishes.
00:54:25Absolutely not.
00:54:26You cook, I clean.
00:54:27Those are the rules.
00:54:28No.
00:54:29You don't make me do all the dishes when you cook.
00:54:30Well, I can certainly help do the dishes.
00:54:31Let's all do them together.
00:54:32You're going to teach me how to make bread tomorrow.
00:54:33I am?
00:54:34Yes.
00:54:35Oh.
00:54:36Okay, I'm going to do the dishes.
00:54:37No arguments.
00:54:38By all means.
00:54:41Merci, Mademoiselle.
00:54:46She really is a lovely young lady.
00:54:50You're welcome.
00:54:51I worry that she's growing up too fast.
00:54:55She feels she has to take care of me now that her mom's gone.
00:54:59Thank you for coming, by the way.
00:55:02It meant a lot to her.
00:55:03And thanks for this.
00:55:04This was delicious.
00:55:06And it's a work of art.
00:55:07It's almost architectural.
00:55:09That would be French cuisine for you.
00:55:12Yeah, that's French cooking.
00:55:14Very specific.
00:55:15Very technical.
00:55:16Yes, probably exactly the reason I was attracted to it.
00:55:19How so?
00:55:20When I was a kid, my parents and I used to go to this little place called Francoise.
00:55:25A town that I grew up.
00:55:26We used to go every Sunday for breakfast.
00:55:29When my parents passed, my grandparents had to sell their house.
00:55:34No more.
00:55:36I would just go back every once in a while.
00:55:39To just feel close to them.
00:55:41There.
00:55:43And one day I found myself being hired as a waitress there.
00:55:48Which was really nice.
00:55:50And a few months after that, a line cook got sick and they asked me to help out, which was even better.
00:55:57And for the first time since my parents died, I felt like I was home again in that kitchen.
00:56:13You're an excellent cook.
00:56:16I mean, I threw Italian, Japanese, Greek food at you.
00:56:21You'd have thought you were trained in all those cuisines, too.
00:56:24Have you ever thought of, I don't know, straying from such traditional French dishes?
00:56:29Well, French food is definitely that.
00:56:31It's very precise, very exacting, very detailed.
00:56:35But at least I know that there's a right way and a wrong way to do things.
00:56:38And I find it very comforting because the rest of the universe does not exactly follow those rules all the time, does it?
00:56:46When Kate died, it was just so ridiculous.
00:56:47I'm a firefighter.
00:56:48I go to work every day.
00:56:49I know I'm putting my life on the line.
00:56:52But the whole idea that she was at home and she was in danger.
00:56:58Oh!
00:57:00What?
00:57:01Excuse me.
00:57:02I'm sorry.
00:57:04You okay over there?
00:57:05Bubbles?
00:57:08Sorry.
00:57:10I'll just stay here.
00:57:16You sure you don't need help?
00:57:17It's all good.
00:57:18She's very stubborn.
00:57:20Where does she get that from?
00:57:26Tonight was fun when Sarah came by, wasn't it, Dad?
00:57:29Sure.
00:57:32She's pretty.
00:57:35Don't you think she's pretty?
00:57:37What's up, kiddo?
00:57:39Before Mom died, she said that one day you'd meet someone really nice.
00:57:46You might even want to get married again.
00:57:48Yeah.
00:57:49She said that you might feel like you're a cheat on her even though she's not here anymore and that I'd help you move on.
00:57:58Listen, I know that you like Sarah.
00:58:03But are you really ready for me to date?
00:58:08Yeah.
00:58:14I mean, I think so.
00:58:17Yeah.
00:58:20Mom was right. You shouldn't have to be alone.
00:58:24You know what?
00:58:26You're just like her.
00:58:28I am?
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:30I can't hear her anymore.
00:58:32What?
00:58:34Mom's voice.
00:58:37I used to hear her in my head.
00:58:42Telling me that she loved me.
00:58:46I used to do my homework.
00:58:51Brush my hair.
00:58:57Now it's all gone.
00:59:01That's what happens to everyone who loses somebody they love.
00:59:04Kiddo, that's just your mind's way of protecting you.
00:59:10Making you forget a little bit so that your heart doesn't keep breaking.
00:59:17Yeah.
00:59:25I love you.
00:59:28I love you.
00:59:33Patsy, so is the front of the house good to go?
00:59:36Yeah, of course.
00:59:38Oh, um.
00:59:40I mean, you know.
00:59:46You know, second chances don't come around that often.
01:00:17Hey, come on in.
01:00:21I know that you're busy.
01:00:24I just wanted to say thank you very much for the flowers.
01:00:28Thought I'd try again.
01:00:32Sarah, I know you said no when I asked you out, but I was really hoping you'd reconsider.
01:00:38I just feel like you and I...
01:00:42I just feel like... Really?
01:00:46I'll take this, then.
01:00:48Yeah, Danny.
01:00:50Hey, buddy, listen.
01:00:52Hannah just got a little bump on her head.
01:00:54What?
01:00:56Yeah, she was jumping on the trampoline and her foot got caught in the springs.
01:00:59I'll be right there.
01:01:01No, no, no, no. Listen, listen. I already checked her out, and I think she's fine, okay?
01:01:04Oh, yeah. Dad, I'm totally fine. Don't worry about me. I'll see you at home.
01:01:07See? She's fine, alright?
01:01:09Now, I'm just following protocol for a head injury.
01:01:11We're over at the ER right now.
01:01:13Why don't you just go ahead and sit tight, and we'll give you a call.
01:01:17Okay.
01:01:19Hannah's been hurt. I better go.
01:01:21Can I help?
01:01:23Don't worry. She'll be okay. Call the chief.
01:01:31Hannah's gonna be fine.
01:01:33Yeah, I hope so.
01:01:37You okay?
01:01:39What are you gonna say to go when he gets back?
01:01:42I think you should just, I don't know, go over there and say thank you, and...
01:01:48What?
01:01:50Did you smell something?
01:01:56What is going on? It smells like smoke. What?
01:02:02What happened?
01:02:04Oh, my. What happened?
01:02:06I'm just an investor here. I'm not even supposed to cook.
01:02:08I told you I couldn't.
01:02:09Then why are you cooking? That's what you can call it.
01:02:12Mike is on duty at the firehouse, and Danny and Gil are both with Hannah at the hospital.
01:02:17And frankly, I should join them, because they're gonna give me a pounding when they find out what I did to their kitchen.
01:02:22There's nothing left to serve. It's all covered in flame retardant.
01:02:26Yes, it is.
01:02:28You did a good job with that thing.
01:02:32Fires. You fight fires.
01:02:35How did you get a hamburger up there?
01:02:42Honest to God, I don't know.
01:02:48Was something wrong next door?
01:02:50Well, the fire chief nearly burned the place down, if you can believe that irony. He has customers and no food.
01:02:56And from the looks of things here, Beth could actually handle this.
01:03:01Would you come and help me run Gil's kitchen?
01:03:04Hannah's hurt, and the last thing he needs is to lose business and come back to a mess.
01:03:08Of course I will.
01:03:12Thanks.
01:03:14Dad, I'm fine.
01:03:16Dad?
01:03:18Okay, thank you. Can you not put me down, please?
01:03:21Dad?
01:03:23Dad, stop!
01:03:25No!
01:03:26I'm fine.
01:03:28You heard the doctor. Go back to work.
01:03:31It's not going to happen. I'm in for the night.
01:03:34Dad, you left the chief in charge. You think you're the one with the head injury.
01:03:39It's the worst that can happen.
01:03:41Listen, kiddo, I know that this restaurant has taken over our lives this summer, but I don't ever want you to forget, you're my number one priority.
01:03:50And Chip, my favorite.
01:03:54How's that feel?
01:03:56Really, Dad?
01:03:58You have a nasty bump there. You got to ice it.
01:04:00Are you done?
01:04:09Love you.
01:04:11Love you.
01:04:13Bye.
01:04:15Bye.
01:04:20Save me some of that.
01:04:22Okay.
01:04:24Bye.
01:04:26Bye.
01:04:28What the hell is that?
01:04:31It's a baby bite.
01:04:33I know.
01:04:36Oh, man.
01:04:50Oh, my God.
01:04:53That's good. That's really good.
01:05:00One beef stew and one cracky.
01:05:03Stew's a big success.
01:05:05So, you know.
01:05:07Well, the chief said that the beef stew was a big success.
01:05:10Come on, what's that idiot know? He almost burned the place down.
01:05:12I'll see.
01:05:14But you know what? He is kind of cute in that big, burly kind of way.
01:05:17That fireman there.
01:05:19God, I love firemen.
01:05:21They're just...
01:05:23Patsy, get back to work? Is that what you're thinking?
01:05:25Yeah.
01:05:27But they are. It's just unbelievable. Have you...
01:05:29I'll see.
01:05:31Okay.
01:05:33There really is extraordinary EMTs, firemen, cops, not so much, but...
01:05:37I'm talking to myself.
01:05:39You afraid about it?
01:05:40Yeah.
01:05:46Yes, I...
01:05:48I believe this is the place.
01:05:52Chez Varenne.
01:05:54Get a couple of those beauty shots, shall we?
01:05:57That stew was amazing.
01:05:59Oh, everything was amazing.
01:06:02Aha.
01:06:04Well, uh...
01:06:06Shall we?
01:06:11Let's give it a whirl.
01:06:29Hey, Chief. Come on in.
01:06:31Thanks.
01:06:33How you doing?
01:06:35Oh, Hannah's out.
01:06:37I don't want to wake her.
01:06:38I just came by to tell you everything went really smoothly.
01:06:41It did?
01:06:43No, it didn't.
01:06:45What happened?
01:06:47I almost destroyed the place.
01:06:49Almost burned it down.
01:06:51But your cute neighbor came by and took charge.
01:06:54Sarah?
01:06:56That cute neighbor?
01:06:58Sarah. That'd be the one.
01:07:09You may have to ask him out this time.
01:07:12Get back to work.
01:07:38All this love was here for me
01:07:47Now I know that love can grow
01:07:51A little breeze that blows and blows
01:07:56Now everything's illuminated
01:08:00See, come as that one's worth fading
01:08:04I know what I must do
01:08:09Even when skies are blue
01:08:16Happy day
01:08:20I could dance, I'm on my way
01:08:25All this joy
01:08:29Deep inside I could
01:08:33All this joy
01:08:37Oh, hi.
01:08:39Hi.
01:08:41Uh, looks like I owe you another thank you.
01:08:44And that last night was the second time you swooped in and saved the Fire Alarm Grill.
01:08:48It's no problem, really. I was just happy to help.
01:08:52And actually, I was really hoping we could maybe finish the conversation that we had started earlier.
01:09:01I'd like that.
01:09:03Sarah! Get in here right now! Hurry!
01:09:07What's wrong?
01:09:09Nancy, what is wrong?
01:09:11The restaurant thing is on the news.
01:09:14Oh my God, you scared me. I thought that something was on fire or something.
01:09:18Well, it's just that you've gotten me so worked up that it could be us one night that I got a little overexcited.
01:09:23And now, Redmond Roads has the place to eat this weekend.
01:09:27Thank you, Nora.
01:09:28Well, this week's recommendation brought us to Vista Grande.
01:09:32But here's the thing, Nora, there's a little twist in this tale.
01:09:35You see, there's a delightful, charming little French restaurant there called Chez Varenne.
01:09:41The owner and chef has been courting yours truly for some time now to come down there and try a meal.
01:09:46Well, the other evening, while we had every intention of eating at Chez Varenne,
01:09:50I couldn't help but notice a new addition to the neighborhood just next door, in fact.
01:09:54It was a high-energy home cooking establishment called the Five Alarm Grill.
01:10:00It's run entirely by firefighters from Local Station 4,
01:10:03who serve up traditional and delicious rib-sticking dinners.
01:10:07And here's the thing, Nora, us civilians don't have to slide down a pole to get them.
01:10:11Or go into a burning building, I hope.
01:10:13No way, no way.
01:10:15And that's why the Redmond Roads restaurant recommendation this Friday is the Five Alarm Grill.
01:10:20Don't forget to try the macaroni cheese and delicious beef stew.
01:10:24Sounds like they're putting hunger fires out, huh, Redmond?
01:10:27Sarah, I can't believe this. I am so sorry.
01:10:29Next up, our sports report.
01:10:31Sarah?
01:10:41I'm done.
01:10:44You're done with what?
01:10:46All of it.
01:10:48No, Sarah, you don't mean that.
01:10:51Yeah, I do.
01:10:56I wanted to be a chef all my life, and it's a goal that I've strived for, and I did a good job.
01:11:07I'm classically trained, I've traveled the world.
01:11:10I've built this restaurant to something that I could be proud of,
01:11:16and I was so sure that one day it was going to be a success.
01:11:21And then you showed up.
01:11:23You opened a restaurant on a whim.
01:11:27Did you know that nine out of ten new restaurants fail?
01:11:30But no, no, no, you're an overnight success, while I struggle on a daily basis.
01:11:37It's almost the perfect ending, me cooking at your restaurant on the night of your rave review.
01:11:45It's like driving the final nail into the coffin of my restaurant.
01:11:49Come on, don't say that.
01:11:51Why not? Because your restaurant is going to be an even bigger success tomorrow,
01:11:56and mine is just going to be the joke of the city.
01:12:00I'm going to go close the doors right now.
01:12:03Sarah!
01:12:05I'm sorry.
01:12:10Gil, I'm sorry.
01:12:12She's a passionate woman, sometimes a little too passionate.
01:12:17It's just that this restaurant, it's all she's had, it's all she's wanted, actually.
01:12:25Until she met you.
01:12:35Oh.
01:12:42Oh, Sarah.
01:12:44Whatever you're going to say, Patsy, please do not interject the phrase handsome firefighter.
01:12:51Would you prefer crybaby, woe is me, melodramatic chef who overreacts and throws an incredible man under the bus?
01:13:02It doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
01:13:05You have to know this wasn't Gil's fault.
01:13:08I know.
01:13:10There's more to life than cooking, Sarah. You can't keep pushing people away.
01:13:14Because sometimes they won't come back.
01:13:25Does anyone know where Gil went?
01:13:27Uh, I don't know. I'll give him a call.
01:13:35Hm.
01:13:37He's not answering. He's going straight to voicemail.
01:13:53Hi. I need to get into the news studio. It's important.
01:13:57Right, buddy. Sure.
01:13:58What's going on here?
01:14:00So, honest Gil, from one to ten, how badly do you think I messed things up with Gil?
01:14:05Why does it only have to go up to ten?
01:14:11Hey.
01:14:13Hi, um, do you maybe know where my dad went?
01:14:17Okay, in three, two...
01:14:19Thanks, Coach Cassidy, for that KXB sports report.
01:14:23And now it seems we have a visitor.
01:14:26Yeah, hey.
01:14:27That's right, Nora, we do indeed have a visitor with us.
01:14:30He's on television.
01:14:32Now, viewers, if you were watching the Redmond Roads restaurant review earlier in the broadcast...
01:14:36Dad!
01:14:37You would have heard me mention the Five Alarm Grill.
01:14:40Well, Gil Callahan, the owner and chef at the Five Alarm Grill,
01:14:45is here in the studio with us this evening, and he has something rather interesting to say.
01:14:50Good evening, Gil.
01:14:51Good evening. Thank you, Redmond. Hi, Nora.
01:14:53Good evening. Thank you, Redmond. Hi, Nora.
01:14:56Um, well, here's the irony.
01:14:59You came to our little street to try Sarah Westbrook's cooking, but that's exactly what you did.
01:15:05You just did it at the Five Alarm, my restaurant.
01:15:08You see, um, my daughter had been hurt, and I had to step out,
01:15:12and Sarah came in at the last minute so that we didn't have to close down for the night.
01:15:17So, let me get this straight, Gil.
01:15:19Jack Westbrook left her restaurant to run the Five Alarm Grill in your time of crisis?
01:15:24That's right, she did.
01:15:26So, she cooked the delicious beef stew I tasted?
01:15:29She did, Redmond, and if you do review the Chez Veran, you will try her beef bourguignon,
01:15:33and that's a fancier, even better version of that stew.
01:15:36It's one of the many amazing things that Sarah has on her menu.
01:15:40So, what do you say, Redmond? Dinner at Chez Veran next week?
01:15:44Well, how could I refuse?
01:15:46I must tell you, Gil, I've reviewed a lot of restaurants in my time,
01:15:49and I don't think I've ever come across anything quite like this before.
01:15:53Well, she's... well, she's my neighbor.
01:15:57I'm just being neighborly.
01:16:07Oh, what?
01:16:08That has been a very surprising KXP Channel 17 news report.
01:16:12I'm Redmond Bright.
01:16:13And I'm Nora Smithson, and from all of us here tonight, have a good night.
01:16:19Good night.
01:16:23That's a wrap, people.
01:16:24And we're clear.
01:16:25And we're clear.
01:16:26Absolutely.
01:16:43Sarah.
01:16:45Hi.
01:16:46Hi.
01:16:47Where is everybody?
01:16:49Oh, they went home.
01:16:50Danny and Elise took Hannah home with them.
01:16:54Oh.
01:16:55Okay.
01:16:58Hey.
01:17:00I'm really sorry.
01:17:01Don't you dare apologize.
01:17:03I'm the one that should apologize.
01:17:07You're a good man, Gil Callahan.
01:17:09Wow.
01:17:12You're welcome.
01:17:14And that thing that you said on TV about us being neighborly...
01:17:22I'm sorry. I don't... I don't...
01:17:25I can't do that.
01:17:28It just wouldn't be enough.
01:17:33Because I think I'm falling in love with you.
01:17:38And...
01:17:40You're clearly in love with me.
01:17:44Or else you wouldn't have gone on TV and made such an incredible fool of yourself.
01:17:53You're not gonna take this easy on me, are you?
01:17:58No.
01:18:03All right.
01:18:09Good night.
01:18:33Good evening.
01:18:34This is Redmond Road.
01:18:35Outside Le Five Alarm Grill.
01:18:38Or maybe the Five Alarm Grill.
01:18:40Who knows how you're supposed to pronounce this very eclectic restaurant,
01:18:43which, as you know, is a rather eclectic mix between Chez Varenne and the Five Alarm Grill.
01:18:48Tonight, of course, is the first night, opening night, of this wonderful new restaurant.
01:18:52Some of the patrons are already inside, enjoying a wonderful meal.
01:18:55I hope soon to join them.
01:18:56So, once again, this is Redmond Road's Restaurant Review.
01:18:59Bon appétit and good night.
01:19:05Bon appétit.
01:19:17Voilà , mademoiselle.
01:19:19Merci.
01:19:20De rien.
01:19:28Thank you so much.
01:19:31Bon appétit.
01:19:33Red, I would like you to meet Sarah.
01:19:35Oh.
01:19:37Congratulations.
01:19:38Thank you very much.
01:19:39Have that for me one moment.
01:19:45Great.
01:19:52Oh, come on.
01:19:57It's time for wine.
01:20:00No.
01:20:02It's so nice to meet you.
01:20:04Yeah.
01:20:06Okay.
01:20:41I'll give it to you.
