00:00:00He's the culinary guru really on this mountain I'm sorry to think God cursed
00:00:14me with an eating disorder for all of my hormonal talent. Hey dude what are you doing?
00:00:24I'm starving. Well there's a whole world of grub out there why don't you go get
00:00:39some looks like you can afford it. I've tried it all it's a horror show I wish
00:00:45I could call the culinary cops. Here try this. I am a renowned food critic I would
00:00:53rather starve than eat something that looks like it was wrapped by a raccoon.
00:01:02Fine hope you don't regret it. What's in it? Just regular food. Just regular food?
00:01:10Show me. So now you want to try it? Pay me first. I am a legendary food critic if
00:01:19I am even thinking about eating that you should be rolling out the red carpet.
00:01:23Well isn't this funny the starving foodie I never heard of you how do I know you're
00:01:31not a fraud. Same deal no cash no food. Here you go.
00:01:46Well it was a pleasure serving you today I hope to see you again soon.
00:02:02It's just like that day.
00:02:07Oh you're eating again? A year ago I was a skeleton on the street. The culinary guru's
00:02:18food saved my life. Ever since then I've never tasted anything like it. She might.
00:02:25Vaughn we have to find her she might have some connection to the culinary guru.
00:02:31This jar is perfect for pickles. Mom tell me why we brought this clueless country bumpkin home.
00:02:42You've always complained about your fiance that eating disorder guy so why don't we have her
00:02:49marry into the Thompson family instead. So if Alex marries Ira when he kicks the bucket we can snag
00:02:58his fortune through her? Smart girl just like your mother. Did you say fortune? Is my dad
00:03:05finally gonna kick the bucket and leave me some cash? You heartless brat I found a great husband
00:03:10for you get yourself ready to marry him. No I came down to make money not get married. Someone
00:03:17like you so poor and provincial should be grateful that someone wants you. Oh come on
00:03:29someone as ugly as you could still marry my dad. I'm far superior to you so I wouldn't worry about
00:03:34me. Mom? Our top priority right now is to secure the marriage with the sickly Thompson family. I'm here to handle this.
00:03:48What a handsome guy too bad he's on the verge of dying. Mr. Thompson what brings you here? I heard
00:03:55Miss Williams doesn't seem to honor our engagement so let's just call the wedding off. Wait there must
00:04:01be a misunderstanding. This is Ira the eldest daughter of the Williams family she can represent
00:04:09the Williams family in marrying you. It's you? So this is the guy you've been raving about? My future
00:04:20husband? I gotta say for a guy who can't eat you're surprisingly easy on the eyes. Another shallow
00:04:26woman smitten by my looks. She's a bit different given her connection to the culinary goop. Miss
00:04:32you know my boss? Yeah I caught him on the brink of starvation just knew.
00:04:37One more word and you're toast. Why can't I say anything it's no secret you're starving.
00:04:49So on this day he just collapsed right at my feet. Miss Williams you've convinced me let's get married.
00:04:57Alex you're not doing this out of pride you just want to find out where the culinary guru is.
00:05:07Wait I came down the mountain to make money you want to marry me? Are you rich? Duh our boss is
00:05:15top dog of the restaurant world. Okay but like how rich are we talking? How rich do you want?
00:05:21Black truffle, caviar, foie gras. Can you afford all that? Snagging the finest ingredients from
00:05:28the mountaintops to the ocean depths is a walk in the park for me. Great then I'll marry you.
00:05:36Wait tell me where did you get that food box from the other day?
00:05:40We should go out on the town and get some tasty treats to celebrate. What? No!
00:05:52What exactly do you want to eat?
00:05:56Boss um your your new wife seems to be a bit uh ditzy.
00:06:05It seems boss really cares about her. Boss the lady seems to be missing.
00:06:13Oh great my new wife is gone. I hope she didn't get kidnapped by the culinary guru. Go find her.
00:06:22Now this clue looks good. Probably never seen a place with more than two chairs.
00:06:32So many delicious options. I knew coming down was a good idea.
00:06:37What would you like to order? I would like this, this, and this. And that's it I am ready to feast.
00:06:46First you have to pay and your total is six thousand two hundred so cash or card?
00:06:54Oh you're expecting to eat for free without paying? Well I don't have any money.
00:06:59Are you trying to dine and dash? But my husband does.
00:07:04Plutus god of wealth please shower me with riches.
00:07:13Please shower me with riches.
00:07:16Are you wandering or are you just trying to get your face on the side of a milk carton?
00:07:21The fortune summoning spell chef McFlombie taught me actually works. Dear husband pay the man.
00:07:27Look why don't you stingy losers just come clean and stop dragging this out.
00:07:32Let me have some sickly pretend to be rich guy. This is a joke.
00:07:40Mr Thompson it's an absolute honor to have you in my restaurant.
00:07:45Your staff doesn't seem too happy to see me or my wife. Perhaps we should just head somewhere else.
00:07:50My sincerest of apologies for my employee's behavior. He'll be dismissed immediately.
00:08:04Were you defending me back there? As Alex Thompson's future wife if any old
00:08:08Joe can push you around that's a slap in my face. I was just protecting my image.
00:08:13Oh I see now I understand why you're so worried about being seen starving to death in the streets.
00:08:18For you silence is golden. Whatever just shut up will you?
00:08:34You didn't go for any of the designer clothes I picked out for you. All those sparkles and
00:08:38stitching look cute but they're nowhere near as comfy as my own stuff. Besides I'm a food expert.
00:08:44I don't need all that glitz and glam. You're a food expert? Seriously? Top notch. One bite of my
00:08:52food will have you begging for more. Want to try? My eating issues aren't just some kitchen disaster
00:08:59average person can fix. Rich people are so fussy.
00:09:05Only if that food box you made was edible. That one wasn't made by me.
00:09:16That one wasn't made by me. Damn it could it be? Have I been tricked into a marriage?
00:09:24It looks like my eating disorder isn't going to be cured anytime soon.
00:09:27Skinny husband you're really gonna pass on my cooking? If your cooking isn't up to culinary
00:09:33guru level then I'm out. Guess that's why you're starved. Do you need help? One condition.
00:09:42Don't mention that incident. Oh no it's heavy and you're sick. I don't want you breaking my paw.
00:09:48It's just a bloody paw. Breaking it? You can't even lift it.
00:09:54You good? Looking like you're auditioning for a fainting scene. Take me back to my room. Boss
00:10:00I got you these gourmet pastries from a top chef. They're still warm. Now get that away from me now.
00:10:07Fine. Call the best doctors. I will not give my fortune to her.
00:10:14Boss seriously just eat. If you keep going like this she'll be celebrating while you're starving.
00:10:23Where's my room by the way? You and boss Alex are married now so you'll be sharing a room.
00:10:54Am I up next for the shower? Yeah uh do you know how to use the shower head?
00:11:06Let me um let me step out.
00:11:18Are you okay?
00:11:23Wait are you checking me out?
00:11:28Of course not. No I was just checking the plumbing.
00:11:40Hey Vaughn. What's with all the cash? You buying a farm?
00:11:45The boss is trying to tackle his eating disorder. I hired the top medical team
00:11:49and this is their tip. Eating disorder? That's easy peasy. Hand it over and I'll fix him up.
00:11:56What do you mean? You can send those doctors home. Just give me the money and I'll handle
00:12:01the treatment. What are you doing? Alex I'm gonna be your personal healing chef.
00:12:12You know nothing about it. How could you possibly cure me? You stop messing around and just get out.
00:12:22Out.
00:12:30If Alex lives till 80 I'll have to live even longer to claim his assets.
00:12:36You got this Ira. Eat well, drink well and you'll easily outlive him.
00:12:43Hmm.
00:13:01Well don't just stand there like a statue. Let's eat together.
00:13:05Try my food and you'll no longer look like a contestant on a survival reality tv show.
00:13:13Like I'd touch that? It's probably nasty as hell. Fine by me. Just don't come begging for it later.
00:13:25Yum yum yum. So ridiculously good.
00:13:34Hurry come eat. Irish cooking is out of this world.
00:13:37No I'm good. I'm not hungry. Sri you've got to hang in there. Another plate. No make it two.
00:13:50Thank you for the best meal we've had in our entire lives. Oh please it's nothing.
00:13:55You pathetic self-important foodie. I wonder if you're drooling yet.
00:14:25Oh shit. I need my liquid nutrients.
00:14:43Protein shakes are gone. I'll have to make do with something else.
00:14:48This looks pretty good. I'm weird. I'm actually tempted to try it.
00:14:55It's not that I want to try it. I just need to test this girl's culinary skills.
00:15:07It smells pretty good.
00:15:17Lyra? Are you there?
00:15:31Don't do it you sneaky cake burglar. I'm just taste testing. Well I'm not stingy.
00:15:38You can have it but you have to pay the cake tax.
00:15:48Oh get off me you wet towel.
00:15:55Oh seriously it's empty.
00:16:06Alex? Yeah? I've been wondering what led to your eating disorder in the first place?
00:16:12I used to be all about savoring every gourmet dish. But then after too many, nothing hits the spot anymore.
00:16:25Stuff to the brim. The foodie ate his way into an eating disorder?
00:16:36Alex my heart is racing. What's happening to me?
00:16:42Alex? Alex? Alex?
00:16:51Robert used to say you can skip a meal but you can never skip a drink.
00:17:08What a strange guy.
00:17:12Good night Alex.
00:17:29She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy.
00:17:42How dare you take advantage of me like that? What the heck was that for?
00:17:50Is it too late to apologize? Oh get out!
00:18:04Are you mad?
00:18:08Are you mad?
00:18:16My signature crab cakes are the ultimate cure for picky eaters.
00:18:20This will be my apology for hating him.
00:18:26Oh hi can I help you? Hi I'm Alex's wife here to bring him his lunch.
00:18:31Oh another one claiming to be our CEO's wife. Everyone knows he's anorexic and can't eat
00:18:36anything. Try harder next time. Maybe a wardrobe upgrade. What's wrong with my wardrobe? You're
00:18:43pickier than Alex is. I've seen too many like you. Stop trying to pull tricks.
00:18:53It's a shame to waste food like that. Let me go! What are you doing?
00:18:58Oh boss um this strange woman was claiming to be your wife and trying to bring you lunch and I was
00:19:10just helping her on her way out. Did you get burned? How dare you treat my wife like that? I'm so sorry
00:19:19I didn't realize she was your wife. Please forgive me. Ira what do you think? I demand compensation.
00:19:26Those ingredients were extremely rare. I hiked a mountain to get them.
00:19:32What's going on? I actually have an appetite for this stuff.
00:19:38All crab cakes should be pretty much the same. What am I thinking?
00:19:43Great considering eating floor food. Next I'll be outside fighting the pigeons for crumbs. You handle this.
00:19:51You're fired.
00:19:57Wait she needs to pay me.
00:20:05Thanks Alex I'll spend it well.
00:20:09Whoa hold up you're supposed to bring me food. Well yeah but it's gone now. That's it? You don't
00:20:16have anything else to say? Like are you not even gonna check if I'm breathing? Oh
00:20:23checked. Okay you're not dead yet. I'm going shopping.
00:20:29Chasing money huh?
00:20:33Who needs love when you have an empire to run?
00:20:38Everything is on track. We have the lost ancient recipe as a prize.
00:20:42Should be enough to lure out the culinary guru. Don't worry sir we've reached Blake,
00:20:47the culinary guru's top apprentice. He'll be a judge and there might be news about the chef soon.
00:20:56Vaughn I made a new dish. Please take it to your boss. But you have to pay me before he eats it.
00:21:03Madam the boss is busy with the culinary guru competition. He definitely won't be able to eat
00:21:08what you made. You're still looking for the culinary guru? Boss is tough to heal. Only the
00:21:14culinary guru can help. We're using the lost ancient recipe as the prize in the cook-off
00:21:19to lure him in. The lost ancient recipe? That's a great prize. My mentor will be so happy if I win it.
00:21:27You have a mentor?
00:21:32Don't worry Alex I will cure you and win the cooking competition.
00:21:36You want to participate in the cooking competition? All the top chefs from the
00:21:40nation will be there. You should just forget about it. You'll be crushed.
00:21:45Just let me try. I can do it.
00:21:50Fine just don't be too upset if you lose.
00:21:54I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary. Great I will show you what I can do.
00:22:00Did you hear? The head apprentice of the culinary guru is coming to judge today. Yeah I just came
00:22:06to catch a glimpse of the legendary head apprentice. I heard Alex is bringing his new wife.
00:22:11I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with. Alex's wife? That girl is just an ugly
00:22:20and unrefined country bumpkin. I can't believe Alex ended up with some broke and ugly cook.
00:22:27I can't believe Alex ended up with some broke and ugly chick. How sad. I guess that's what he gets for his eating issues.
00:22:39Look!
00:22:58She looks gorgeous. They are truly a match made in heaven. Alex doesn't look weak at all.
00:23:07I can't believe Ira is so full of herself now. Should I not have called off the engagement before?
00:23:12Don't be fooled by their current glamour. I've heard Alex's condition is worsening. Otherwise he
00:23:19wouldn't be playing matchmaker for the culinary guru. Alex owns a food empire. If they could find
00:23:26culinary guru and cure him, it would only benefit that hick Ira. No way. I have to win Alex back.
00:23:36What's in those jars? Those are called spices. You're key to making gourmet dishes.
00:23:46You know nothing country bumpkin. Oh those are just flashy things. The most important part of
00:23:53real cuisine is to cook with the heart. It's how you bring out the ingredients as natural flavors.
00:23:59Despite her usual unreliable demeanor, she actually has her own insights about food.
00:24:05You clueless hick. Don't pretend to know anything. There can only be one big winner tonight and
00:24:12that's me. Ira's right. A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony. I'd rather just
00:24:18drink my protein shakes. Well hold on, it's not that bad. You deserve to starve Alex.
00:24:26You're worth the possibility of the culinary guru appearing to cure your illness.
00:24:30I wouldn't even consider taking you back.
00:24:33Master Blake, we all admire you greatly.
00:24:39Master Blake, still no news of the culinary guru? My master's gone into seclusion with
00:24:44the junior apprentice and I have not been able to find out where he is.
00:24:49I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:24:53I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:24:57I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:25:02Blake! Hi, Ira. Long time no see. What are you doing here? How odd. The culinary guru's
00:25:10head apprentice knows this small town girl? How do you two know each other?
00:25:18Mr. Blake, competition's about to start. The host is calling for you.
00:25:24Alex, don't worry. I think I'll still find the whereabouts of the culinary guru.
00:25:33Of course I know him.
00:25:40Could happen. People meet every day.
00:25:44Ladies and gentlemen, today's winner will receive an ancient lost recipe and a vivid
00:25:51fancy pink diamond from the Thompson family. The competition officially begins. There's only one
00:25:58winner. Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson to eat their dish wins.
00:26:07What's wrong? The fish is spoiled. I suggest you back down now before you embarrass yourself even
00:26:14more. This fool has no idea it's me pulling the strings. Ira, you little beggar! Thief!
00:26:26Your fancy dishes don't even need tomatoes anyways.
00:26:33Hey buddy, got any leftovers? Just these.
00:26:36Perfect, I'll take them. Are you sure you want that fresh?
00:26:49Hillbilly will never make it on the big stage. Pressure won't drive her crazy, right?
00:26:57What's she doing?
00:27:03I need a big pot. Um, sure, no problem. Behind you.
00:27:15What a unique cooking method. Ira, what are you doing? You're disgracing the Williams family.
00:27:23I've got more tricks up my sleeve, Ira. Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself.
00:27:32That country bumpkin can't possibly win against Miss Evelyn.
00:27:36Evelyn is a Michelin-starred chef. This hillbilly is just cannon fodder.
00:27:42Keep it down. You're gonna be asked to leave.
00:27:44I added a special ingredient, laxative. Just wait till you're disqualified.
00:28:05Just as I thought. Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe.
00:28:14Can't even handle the basics. Totally immature. Try not to poison the judges with that shit.
00:28:23What's she doing? No seasonings? Hilarious. She's out for sure.
00:28:34Awful. Trash. This is an assault on my senses.
00:28:38Could there be a twist? Is Alex going to taste it?
00:28:44Up next, Michelin-starred chef Evelyn Williams. Will this dish impress?
00:28:52Alex, you're in for a treat.
00:28:56Alex, this dish seems different. Seems like you're savoring it.
00:29:04Blech. Totally flavorless. It's like my taste buds were on a vacation.
00:29:08I'll forget this dish the moment that I'm finished with it.
00:29:10For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
00:29:14I'm not sure I'm going to be able to finish this dish, but I'm sure I'll be able to finish it.
00:29:19I'm not sure I'm going to be able to finish this dish, but I'm sure I'll be able to finish it.
00:29:22For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
00:29:29Dizzy. Is there no food worthy of a gourmand like me?
00:29:35Looks like his taste buds are as sharp as ever.
00:29:38Anyone willing to try this stew stuff?
00:29:42Chaotic stew. Zero presentation, zero appeal. This dish doesn't even warrant a critique.
00:29:49I really overestimated Ira.
00:29:52Looks like Alex isn't interested in Ira's dish either. Will our gourmand go home empty-handed?
00:29:58You guys don't understand. My stew will be unforgettable after just one bite.
00:30:10Ira, stop. You're an embarrassment to the profession.
00:30:13What's that? This familiar allure? I even want to try this ugly dish.
00:30:20What's happening? Why am I tempted by this ugly food?
00:30:25If I eat this, I may lose my reputation as a foodie, but I really want to try it.
00:30:38Objection! Ira's mess of a dish is bringing down the competition.
00:30:43Post. Disqualify her. Do you think what you made was good?
00:30:54Emergency! Contestant Ira's taste testing segment has been abruptly halted because our head judge
00:30:59Alex has fainted! Alex, are you okay? Ira, I'm sure this is somehow your fault. Get away!
00:31:05I honestly didn't even want to try that dish. Guess I'll just have to make it again for you
00:31:15sometime. How is the boss? His eating disorder is getting worse. We need a hospital now.
00:31:25The culinary battle championship winner is Evelyn Williams!
00:31:35Just wait. I'll win Alex back.
00:31:44Alex, wake up! Hey, cut it out with the cheek pinch. Alex, you're finally awake.
00:31:52We thought we'd lost you. Ira, were you worried about me? Ira might actually have a thing for me.
00:31:59Feels not bad. Boss, you were out a long time. Alex, where are your supplements? Are you even
00:32:08taking care of yourself? I'm fine. It's just a sudden hunger pang. My body couldn't keep up
00:32:14with my appetite. Don't give me that. With those bloody standards, only a culinary guru could make
00:32:19you eat. Well, actually, I made that dish. Who are you? Grandma, this is Ira Williams.
00:32:29She's my wife now. Wife? Someone who can actually tolerate your pickiness?
00:32:36Dear, can you really make something Alex will eat?
00:32:42Well, Alex is as picky as a toddler. I'd finally made something he was willing to try,
00:32:48and then he fainted. Alex, you're so thin you could fit under a locked door.
00:32:53You're not looking healthy. Isn't he a handful? Yeah, all right. One more shot.
00:33:00The stew you made at the competition? Stay put. I'll cure you.
00:33:10What? Where's my seasonings? Easy there, Ira. You can still do it. It will just take a bit more time.
00:33:18Now, the boss has fainted again. When's the dish ready?
00:33:25Again? Seriously? One sec. Strange. Hearing that Alex fainted made me cut my finger.
00:33:36It's just a little lubu. Who needs the culinary guru? Hang tight, Alex.
00:33:40I brought you the stew.
00:33:51Ira, you're late. Alex had my dish and is back on his feet.
00:33:56Oh, really? The dish that made him faint at the competition? I gotta try it.
00:34:03Alex, you did eat my stuff, right? Yeah, thanks for that.
00:34:08Ira, get over here. No. Hey, what happened to your hand? So you do care, Alex?
00:34:15No, it's not like that. Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew. I don't want blood in my food.
00:34:20Forget that old stew. I'll take care of you, and I can fix your eating problem.
00:34:25Only food from the culinary guru counts. Everything else is trash. You... Hey, I can pay.
00:34:32I'm not after money. If Alex can eat my food, then I'm the best choice to be his wife.
00:34:39Ditch Ira and let's get married. Marrying Alex means all his money is mine.
00:34:46Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex. That fortune is mine.
00:34:51Do you really want to be with someone after your cash? Not your business.
00:34:56Come on, give me a band-aid.
00:35:05Alex promised to share his inheritance with me. Do it yourself.
00:35:13Hello? Hello, my dear apprentice. I just got my phone and called you. How are you? I miss you,
00:35:21my dear. I thought I might come for a visit. Awesome. My mentor is coming to visit. Robert,
00:35:27I need backup. I married this rich guy, Alex Thompson, and now my stepsister is after him
00:35:33and his money. What are you talking about? I'm not after money. Ira, is that how you talk about me?
00:35:39Your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole. Why do you care what he thinks? Maybe you should
00:35:44worry about your own problems. Alex, great news. Your appetite issues are about to be fixed. With
00:35:54me taking care of your meals, you'll be fine. Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
00:36:00Actually, it's culinary guru. Really? Where is he? I've contacted master. He's coming to help you.
00:36:09I need to win Alex over before he arrives.
00:36:12She hung up on me. I tell you, that Ira is getting way out of line. Wait a minute.
00:36:18Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO with the eating disorder that Blake asked me to treat?
00:36:34Oh, my dear apprentice, I'm on my way.
00:36:38I'm on my way.
00:36:41I think they can kick me to the curb just because they found the culinary guru.
00:36:49But I would get this stuff anyway. It actually got Alex to eat my food.
00:36:55But it's mine now. Once Alex drinks this love potion, he's all mine.
00:37:08I'll try my soup while it's still hot.
00:37:15How's it with the culinary guru? Could this seasoning be linked to the culinary guru?
00:37:20It's Ira's shit. That's a stretch. You could get used to it. Since you could finally eat,
00:37:27let me feed you. I got this. Thanks. Come on, don't push me away. What's wrong with you? And why
00:37:34is it so hot in here? Seriously, Evelyn, get off. Feeling warm? Let me help. Alex,
00:37:41something's off with the culinary guru. What are you doing here? This is how you help?
00:37:55I gotta see this.
00:37:56Get lost.
00:38:05Feeling better already, huh? She calls that help and you just watched me get groped.
00:38:11She calls that help and you just watched me get groped.
00:38:23My heart. Am I sick too? Alex, you're burning up. Can I help? Yeah, I could use your help.
00:38:41What the hell? Well, you were overheating. You must have a fever.
00:38:46I thought it might cool you down. Did it work? Ira, you were such a dork.
00:38:54Dammit, Ira, you ruined my game. Seriously, you're such an idiot. You too, John. Alex,
00:39:00guess what? I met the culinary guru. He thinks I'm a prodigy and wants to take me on as his
00:39:06apprentice. If my master listens to me, I would make the right choice. Are you threatening me?
00:39:12With an apprentice like you, that culinary guru must be a joke. If I don't sweet talk Alex into
00:39:18marrying me, I'll miss my shot when the culinary guru shows up. Alex, marry me and I'll make sure
00:39:24the culinary guru cures you. Not a chance. Is Ira finally waking up? Wait, Alex tossed
00:39:33your dish at the competition. What's your secret to getting him to eat it now?
00:39:39The seasoning Alex could eat, that was the one Ira left behind at the culinary guru contest.
00:39:44Could it be? She's his apprentice. Ira, what's your connection to the culinary guru?
00:39:51Why do you keep asking me that? I don't know any culinary guru. So Ira really is the culinary
00:39:57guru's apprentice and she doesn't even realize it. Well, maybe I can put that to use. Alex,
00:40:02how long can you wait? Don't you care about your health? Hands off the inheritance.
00:40:10Who's picking on my apprentice? Is that her mentor? Mentor? This be a culinary guru?
00:40:18Robert, you're here. Great to see you, kid. I've missed you tons.
00:40:23Nice digs you got here, kid. Oh, you landed top tier husband, didn't you?
00:40:32I can't believe you're finally here. I've missed you heaps. The culinary guru is here.
00:40:39Everyone, meet chef Robert McFonbey. This guy, no way he's the world famous culinary guru.
00:40:45He's as basic as Ira. Ira, bringing in some random grandpa just drags down Alex's reputation.
00:40:52Shut the fuck up, Evelyn. Don't insult my mentor. Let this queen twat yap.
00:41:00This is her only talent. Who are you calling twat, old coon? I am the culinary guru's
00:41:08apprentice. One phone call and I'll snuff you both out. The culinary guru's apprentice?
00:41:15Funny. Never heard of you.
00:41:21Please, people like you from the middle of nowhere wouldn't know a celebrity
00:41:26if you sat down right in front of me. Enough, Evelyn. Apologize to my mentor.
00:41:32What's so funny, old coot? You say you're the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:41:38Why not prove it with a cook-off with my apprentice?
00:41:44I just won the culinary championship. Why would I be scared of you, Ira? Last time you already lost.
00:41:52I was out last time, so that doesn't prove that Ira lost to you.
00:41:57Evelyn, I'm tired of your attitude, threatening Alex with your cooking. Let's just see who's this
00:42:02he actually wants to taste. Ira, get real. If Alex could stomach your food, he would have by now.
00:42:10We'll see.
00:42:18With my secret sauce, let's see you stand a chance, Ira.
00:42:23Now why does she have my special blend in her hand?
00:42:26Oh no, your fish, it's burning. What?
00:42:38You sly old man. Learn from me and you might succeed.
00:42:43Copy me and you're going down. Let's see you beat Ira now without my special blend.
00:42:47Alex will love this little kid food. Burn, baby, burn. All set, just need my turkey.
00:43:05What the hell? Burnt? No time to fix this now.
00:43:14Come at me, sis. You're always gonna lose.
00:43:18You have to try my dish. Where's Ira? I'm not hungry yet. I'll wait for her food.
00:43:32My sole is gonna get cold, Alex. Why wait your stomach for Ira?
00:43:39What's taking her so long?
00:43:43What's going on, ma'am? Look, she has nothing, Alex.
00:43:47Looks like she's ready to throw in the towel. Ira, what's going on?
00:43:53Given to you, not a chance.
00:43:58Didn't even finish a dish and she's still talking big.
00:44:02Face it, Alex, she's all talk. Not marriage material.
00:44:06Who says I didn't finish? Just... What?
00:44:10Just hold your horses. Stop stalling, Ira.
00:44:15You miss the deadline, you lose. I'm the one who deserves that ring.
00:44:21Alex, you're not actually buying this, right? Ira, when did I ever say...
00:44:26Just... Alex, just try this. When I win, Ira's out and the title's mine for good.
00:44:32Go on, Alex, dig in. Let's hear the verdict.
00:44:46Hey, you good, boss?
00:44:49That is the worst slop I have ever tasted.
00:44:52What the hell?
00:44:54What did you put in that? It's triggering his eating disorder.
00:44:58Impossible. My spices are perfect. Someone must have messed with them.
00:45:03Evelyn, really? You're calling this yours?
00:45:08That's mine. I couldn't find it at the competition. So you take it.
00:45:12Evelyn, really? This is ours? You're a thief.
00:45:18No, no. Alex, you have to believe me.
00:45:21Vaughn, get... kick her out.
00:45:22Alex, just give me one more shot. I can win from something amazing.
00:45:27Get lost.
00:45:28This can't be happening.
00:45:37Get that away from me. I can't even handle a protein shake right now.
00:45:4225 Oak Street. Yes, we have an emergency.
00:45:48Chronic eating disorder. Yes, we need help right away.
00:45:51Hang tight. My dish is almost done.
00:45:54I guess I'm doomed to starve as a foodie. Only the culinary guru gets me.
00:46:00So if the culinary guru doesn't show, you're off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
00:46:04You know, Irish cooking has suddenly surpassed mine. You gotta try it. It's a flavor journey, man.
00:46:15I can't trust anyone anymore. Eating garbage every day. Just take me now.
00:46:24Alex, since you wanted a divorce, shall we figure out what happens next?
00:46:28Oh, who talked about a divorce? I'm on my last legs here. Couldn't you at least comfort me?
00:46:33Weird. I kinda don't like seeing Alex like this.
00:46:39What's that noise?
00:46:42No need for the hospital. My roast chicken is ready.
00:46:55Here, Alex, chow down.
00:46:58I guess your fortune is mine.
00:47:00Forget about him, Ira. Let's dig in.
00:47:04Man, that smells amazing.
00:47:07Try a piece.
00:47:10Butter. It's so sad my boss can't eat anything.
00:47:20Boss, this is the best food ever. You really gotta try some. Please.
00:47:24Told you. Irish got skills.
00:47:27You can talk all you want. This world's food has burned me too many times.
00:47:31I've told Alex my cooking could cure him.
00:47:34Do all husbands not trust their wives? Maybe I just need a normal guy.
00:47:38Well, what are you after? Pretty boy? A handsome guy? I've got connections.
00:47:45Oh, well, look who the cat dragged in.
00:47:50How was heaven treating you?
00:47:52Fine. One more shot.
00:47:56But remember, I'm a food critic. I'll be keeping it real. No sugar coating.
00:48:04If you want some, help yourself.
00:48:07What are you waiting for, a butler?
00:48:21What? Ira's cooking is even better than the culinary guru.
00:48:33Boss is eating. I've got to tell Lady Linda.
00:48:37Ira, what is your connection to the culinary guru?
00:48:41Why do you keep asking that? I don't know a culinary guru. He's probably just a scammer.
00:48:47Get over it already.
00:48:49But that box you made was just like the culinary guru.
00:48:53And your dish, Ira, even I, a top critic, I got to admit, it's legit.
00:48:59Oh, well, Robert made that one.
00:49:06Yeah, sorry, I forgot to say. I'm the one everyone's been talking about.
00:49:12Sorry, I forgot to say. I'm the one everyone's been talking about. I'm the culinary guru.
00:49:22What?
00:49:23And Ira here, my apprentice, is already better than I am.
00:49:33Why didn't you tell us sooner? Alex wouldn't have been sick this entire time.
00:49:38Ira, I didn't know you actually cared about me.
00:49:43Well, you're such a picky eater,
00:49:45you had me believing that my cooking needed some serious work.
00:49:49So you've just been cooking for me to test your skills, huh?
00:49:58Boss, you're eating again! We're in the clear for the food court project.
00:50:02Alex, I whipped up a new dish. You've got to try it.
00:50:05Another review session? As your test subject. You know, I have my pride, too.
00:50:10Why are you acting so serious?
00:50:16What's this mess?
00:50:20You know I'm a bit of an eat freak.
00:50:23So, other than cooking, do you have any big dreams?
00:50:27I sure do!
00:50:28Oh, come on!
00:50:30I sure do!
00:50:43I need to save my dinner from burning.
00:50:49Life's better when you can actually eat.
00:50:52Why is my face so hot?
00:51:12Oh, crap! I ruined it!
00:51:14My first time messing up a dish and it's all Alex's fault?
00:51:18My first time messing up a dish and it's all Alex's fault?
00:51:22I must be cursed.
00:51:23No way! I'm out of here!
00:51:26Oh, I love this suit. It's so nice.
00:51:35Alex, since you're feeling better, I'm out of here.
00:51:42So who's this?
00:51:44Hi, I'm Dina.
00:51:46Ira, you said you were leaving?
00:51:48You know what? I might stick around.
00:52:01Ira, honey, what's the hurry?
00:52:03Grandma, Alex is downstairs chatting with some girl.
00:52:05Grandma, Alex is downstairs chatting with some girl.
00:52:07Yeah.
00:52:10Alex, I've missed you.
00:52:12Alex, I've missed you all these years.
00:52:15Oh, really? I don't believe it.
00:52:17Grandma, who is she?
00:52:19I don't buy it either.
00:52:21She's just acting sweet.
00:52:22She's Alex's first crush.
00:52:24The one that left him to study abroad without a thought.
00:52:30Dina, didn't you swear you were done with this place?
00:52:38Alex, I've missed you all these years.
00:52:41I came back because my heart belongs to you.
00:52:44Looks like Ira's catching feelings for Alex.
00:52:50I know I blew it before.
00:52:52I put my plans before us and threw away everything that we had.
00:52:56But I'm here.
00:52:57I'm willing to throw away all my pride, whatever it takes,
00:53:01to say I'll give it one more chance.
00:53:03Dina, you left him with nothing but a letter.
00:53:06I was lost trying to make sense of it for so long.
00:53:09And now you're back.
00:53:10What's the point?
00:53:11Alex, I came back for us.
00:53:14I've never forgotten about us.
00:53:15After all these years, I know you still feel it too.
00:53:20You haven't forgotten what we had.
00:53:22Let's just give it another shot.
00:53:33Aren't you hungry, Alex?
00:53:36Let's go.
00:53:37Alex!
00:53:38Dina, I'm married now.
00:53:40Just go.
00:53:49Oh, my ankle.
00:53:49I twisted it.
00:53:51You okay?
00:53:51I twisted it.
00:53:52It hurts.
00:53:53Oh, Alex, put the ointment on it like you used to.
00:53:58I haven't forgotten how sweet you are.
00:54:01I'll take care of it.
00:54:01Ow, ow, ow!
00:54:07Myra's acting all weird.
00:54:10Is she finally feeling jealous?
00:54:18No, Frank, she's totally faking it.
00:54:26Ow!
00:54:27Easy!
00:54:28You're crushing me!
00:54:29Oh, you're fine.
00:54:31But this time, I'm gonna make sure it really hurts.
00:54:41Myra, where are you going?
00:54:48Myra, you look like you lost your puppy.
00:54:50Alex's ex is back in town.
00:54:55Better keep your eye out.
00:54:57Alex is my husband.
00:54:58I'm not letting anyone take his fortune.
00:55:00Yeah, where a guy's heart goes, the wallet soon follows.
00:55:04Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
00:55:07You got your work cut out for you.
00:55:09Body, she's got your beat.
00:55:11Looks, she's classy.
00:55:13You're comfy.
00:55:15She's got her degree, and you're still learning.
00:55:19Personality, she's sweet.
00:55:21You're hungry.
00:55:24Don't forget she's Alex's first love.
00:55:26Guys, don't forget that.
00:55:31Well, crap.
00:55:32I guess I don't stand a chance.
00:55:34Well, you got one ace up your sleeve.
00:55:37You were there for him and helped him through his eating disorders.
00:55:42You were there when he needed you.
00:55:46I've got to cook something good.
00:55:47There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
00:55:53Poor kid.
00:55:54She's kind of bad and doesn't even know it.
00:55:57Thinks it's all about the cash.
00:56:01Really?
00:56:03No second chance for me?
00:56:07Gina, I'm taking.
00:56:10Take care.
00:56:18Hi, it's Ira.
00:56:20Sorry I missed your call.
00:56:22Leave a message.
00:56:23Where's Ira?
00:56:25She's dodging my calls.
00:56:28That must be Ira.
00:56:31Time to see if she's jealous.
00:56:37Got it, Alex.
00:56:38I'll be leaving tomorrow.
00:56:40Let's have this drink as a farewell.
00:56:43Cheers to your next chapter.
00:56:57Are you all right?
00:56:59Here, let me help you.
00:57:10Oh, Alex, we have so much to catch up on after all this time.
00:57:17Alex, you have to try my new dish.
00:57:28Alex, Ira left because she's upset with us.
00:57:32What do you think we should do?
00:57:34Get off.
00:57:36Ira!
00:57:38Alex.
00:57:41Gina, seriously?
00:57:42You drugged my drink.
00:57:44That's low, even for you.
00:57:46Alex, no, come on.
00:57:49Get off.
00:57:52You're gonna regret this.
00:57:59Stephen, the chef's apprentice is out.
00:58:04You're halfway to taking the food court project.
00:58:07Well done, Gina.
00:58:09Alex, remember when you trashed Snow for using garbage ingredients?
00:58:14This time, I'm gonna wipe the floor with you and show you how wrong you were.
00:58:19We need top quality ingredients for this project, or-
00:58:23I got it.
00:58:24Oh, you've reminded me of something.
00:58:26Besides the apprentice of Culinary Grower,
00:58:29Alex has got his own head chefs.
00:58:31Back.
00:58:32I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
00:58:34Once we snag the food court project, I'll get my share, right?
00:58:39Absolutely.
00:58:41Okay, good.
00:58:44Alex, I gave you a chance.
00:58:46This is all on you.
00:58:57She blocked me.
00:59:00What is she, a teenager?
00:59:02Boss, we've got a problem.
00:59:05That stupid Stephen's been stealing our chefs left and right.
00:59:08We won't have a head chef for the food city project next week,
00:59:10and where it is, we're heading for bankruptcy.
00:59:13Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
00:59:16Okay, get on it.
00:59:17Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
00:59:21Hot off the press, KL's group's top chef
00:59:30have flocked over to Stephen's snow group,
00:59:32leaving little doubt about who will win next week's food city project.
00:59:37Could this be the beginning of the end for KL group?
00:59:39Oh, man, Alex is in trouble.
00:59:42So what?
00:59:43He has Gina now, doesn't he?
00:59:46Yeah, I guess.
00:59:47Alex is yesterday's news.
00:59:49I'm gonna go cook.
00:59:50Is it really that bad?
00:59:56Are you thinking about helping Alex?
00:59:58No.
01:00:04After the judges voting,
01:00:05the finalists for the food city bidding competition are
01:00:08KL group and snow group.
01:00:14All right, folks, it's time for round two,
01:00:17where we invite our star Michelin starred chefs to the plate
01:00:21to create their magnum opuses.
01:00:23Let's get things started with snow group.
01:00:25Please give her a warm welcome, folks.
01:00:35Gina.
01:00:38Didn't expect this, did you, Alex?
01:00:42Gina's been on my side the entire time.
01:00:44All that talk of you two getting back together,
01:00:47just a little trick to separate you from your precious apprentice.
01:00:51Alex, I gave you a chance.
01:00:56When you told everybody that my company uses inferior ingredients,
01:01:01I swore I was going to bring you down.
01:01:04Your character is just like your ingredients,
01:01:07rotten on the inside and out.
01:01:10Keep talking tough, Alex.
01:01:12But where are you now?
01:01:14No head chef, no culinary genius.
01:01:17I'm going to snatch that project you've been drooling over,
01:01:21and then I'm going to watch KL group crumble.
01:01:27Ladies and gentlemen,
01:01:28now we have the lovely Ms. Gina ready to present her dish.
01:01:32KL group, it's your turn to step up.
01:01:37What's going on?
01:01:38Why is there nobody on Alex's side?
01:01:40It looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
01:01:42All's well now.
01:01:43I love cooking.
01:01:44Chef, look, if only I were here.
01:01:47Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
01:01:49Even if you squeak by the first round,
01:01:51you've got no one for the second.
01:01:57She's got me all wrong.
01:01:58I don't think she's coming back.
01:02:00This misunderstanding is too deep.
01:02:03Since we have no one from KL group to compete,
01:02:06I hereby announce that the winner is Snow!
01:02:10Wait a minute!
01:02:12Okay.
01:02:14Alex, I'm back.
01:02:20What's the score?
01:02:21We're toast.
01:02:23I thought Gina was your ace.
01:02:24I guess she's not cutting it, huh?
01:02:27It's not like that with her and me.
01:02:28And Gina's representing Steven in this competition.
01:02:31So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
01:02:34Ira, nothing happened with her.
01:02:36I will represent the KL group.
01:02:38I'll take Gina on myself.
01:02:42Aren't we expecting to see Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
01:02:45Are you really in that league?
01:02:47No, I'm not.
01:02:49How can she compete when she doesn't have any credentials?
01:02:52Especially against Gina.
01:02:53I mean, she has royal chef status.
01:02:58Royal chef?
01:02:59Never heard of it.
01:03:00I was trained by the culinary guru, though,
01:03:02if that means anything.
01:03:05But the culinary guru hasn't been around for ages.
01:03:08And besides, Gina, she trained with the sea guru, Robert.
01:03:12She said she trained with them?
01:03:14I mean, what?
01:03:15Wait, you're the culinary guru's apprentice?
01:03:21So Steven stole all of Alex's chefs.
01:03:25Well, I may not be Michelin-starred status,
01:03:27but I have what it takes to represent the KL group.
01:03:31Why do you think you can represent KL?
01:03:33Because I'm his wife.
01:03:34That's why.
01:03:35Ira, you're a lifesaver.
01:03:39Let's see what you cook up.
01:03:42I'll give it a try, and we'll see who takes the crown.
01:03:47And who are you, old man?
01:03:49What makes you think you're in charge here?
01:03:51He's Alan Dukas, president of the DuPont Group,
01:03:54the project's big cheese.
01:04:00Oh, he's definitely the one with the final say.
01:04:02Sir, this is the dish from Snow Group.
01:04:08Rich and aromatic, like you're basking in a warm Mediterranean sun.
01:04:15I created this with the combined efforts of three top chefs.
01:04:19So good luck beating that, Ira.
01:04:21You may be the culinary guru's apprentice,
01:04:23but that doesn't mean that you can outshine the work of four of us combined.
01:04:28Seriously, you think you can compete with something so simple and rough?
01:04:34This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with?
01:04:37It's so inelegant.
01:04:40You don't understand.
01:04:41A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients will never make the best food.
01:04:47Ira's right.
01:04:48A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients will never make the best food.
01:04:52Ira's right.
01:04:53A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
01:04:56I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
01:05:09What's up with Alan?
01:05:09Why isn't he saying anything?
01:05:12Do you think the stuff is that bad?
01:05:13It must be terrible.
01:05:15Mr. Alan's in tears.
01:05:16I'm not in tears.
01:05:18I'm just sad.
01:05:19It must be terrible.
01:05:20Mr. Alan's in tears.
01:05:22No one asked your opinion.
01:05:23Mr. Alan, how does it taste?
01:05:29My dream since I was young was to taste the best food in the world.
01:05:34I never guessed I would do it today.
01:05:37I've waited 30 years for this dish.
01:05:40I declare the KL Group, led by Alex, winner.
01:05:45This isn't fair!
01:05:46I used the best, most expensive ingredients for my dish.
01:05:49How can plain scrambled eggs beat that?
01:05:52If all they care about is chasing fancy and extravagant,
01:05:55that is not what the project needs.
01:05:57Snow Group doesn't cut it.
01:06:01Just wait, Alex.
01:06:01I'm gonna make you pay!
01:06:05Ira, you crushed it.
01:06:07Food City Project is ours.
01:06:08I told you I could do it.
01:06:11Miss Ira, I have to know.
01:06:13What were you thinking while you were whipping those eggs that came so delicious?
01:06:19I guess I was just thinking about someone special.
01:06:25Miss Ira, sounds like you have it for that person.
01:06:40Alex, you promised me a surprise.
01:06:44What is it?
01:06:45Ira, thanks for everything in this competition.
01:06:49This is a family heirloom, meant for Mrs. Thompson.
01:06:54So Ira, will you be mine forever?
01:07:05Stay forever?
01:07:07That sounds boring.
01:07:09I haven't even explored the world yet.
01:07:11Guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
01:07:17Ira, do you not get it?
01:07:18Or are you just messing with me?
01:07:26Hey Alex, what's up?
01:07:27You called for me?
01:07:29I have two gifts for you.
01:07:33Here's a card with half my fortune.
01:07:35Take it as a thank you.
01:07:37Ha!
01:07:40Alex, you're the best.
01:07:41I love cash.
01:07:42Now I can buy all the ingredients I want and travel anywhere.
01:07:47Ira, I like you.
01:07:49I want to take our relationship to the next level.
01:07:51What do you think?
01:07:52How do you feel about me?
01:07:55Um, you certainly have the money.
01:07:58And you let me prove my cooking abilities.
01:08:00You really have made all my dreams come true.
01:08:03Ira, you want out, right?
01:08:07I'll give you the money and the freedom you want.
01:08:11Here's a divorce agreement.
01:08:14Let's end this.
01:08:24Ira, sign this and you're free.
01:08:28I'm leaving the country after it's done.
01:08:30Take care.
01:08:32I just remembered something.
01:08:37Oh.
01:08:47What does Alex mean?
01:08:55Why can't I stop thinking about him?
01:09:03Why was I thinking about Alex all night?
01:09:05Alex seemed off yesterday.
01:09:08Maybe I should cheer him up when I see him.
01:09:10Oh, crap.
01:09:11I never signed the divorce papers.
01:09:13How do I bring that up?
01:09:19Where's Alex?
01:09:20It feels weird not seeing him around.
01:09:25Hey.
01:09:25Grandma, where's Alex?
01:09:27Oh, Alex?
01:09:28He's at the airport, about to jet off.
01:09:31Congrats, honey.
01:09:32You'll finally be free.
01:09:34No more Alex to nag you.
01:09:36What?
01:09:45Boss, the plane is boarding.
01:09:47It looks like she's not coming.
01:09:49She didn't even bother to show up.
01:09:53Like I care.
01:09:56Vaughn, let's go home.
01:10:01Alex!
01:10:05What?
01:10:07I can't stand the thought of losing you.
01:10:11Ira, if I stay, you'll end up leaving.
01:10:14You want your freedom, and you don't love me.
01:10:17I can't be selfish and keep you trapped in this marriage.
01:10:20I don't want you to leave.
01:10:22Why not?
01:10:23Because...
01:10:26Because when I'm not with you, you're all I think about.
01:10:30Alex, you asked me how I felt, and I finally know.
01:10:35I love you.
01:10:40Ira.
01:10:44I love you, too.
01:10:56I'm not fine yet.
01:10:57That's not real, it doesn't matter.
01:11:00Huh?
01:11:04So I give you my heart.
01:11:30Mmm, nailed it.
01:11:33Oh, that smells great.
01:11:35It's a flavor bomb.
01:11:36Ira's cooking is always the best.
01:11:43Nice.
01:11:44So good.
01:11:45Thanks, Ira.
01:11:46Of course.
01:11:51My blue lobster!
01:11:52My gourmet tuna!
01:11:54My treasures!
01:11:56Chef McFlambรฉ, what's wrong?
01:11:58You used all my top-shelf shit?
01:12:02Why let the primo ingredients go to waste, you know?
01:12:04We're done.
01:12:05We're like a diet soda at a barbecue, completely empty.
01:12:09Oh, you need money?
01:12:10Well, leave that to me.
01:12:11Let's rob a bank.
01:12:12Where did you hear that?
01:12:14The villagers know a guy who did it and walked away with a ton of easy cash.
01:12:19That's illegal.
01:12:20We don't go from chef to criminal.
01:12:22What's next, a recipe for jailhouse bread?
01:12:26Well, then how do we make money?
01:12:27Your cooking skills have surpassed mine.
01:12:30You could go down the mountain and make some cash.
01:12:33And there are endless ingredients down there, so you'll really shine.
01:12:38I'll be a world-famous chef.
01:12:53Watch out, world.
01:12:54Here I come.
01:12:59Vaughn has the prep for the culinary competition coming.
01:13:06Being anorexic is so bad.
01:13:13We have to find the culinary guru this time.
