00:00:00He's the culinary guru really on this mountain.
00:00:09I'm starting to think God cursed me with an eating disorder for all of my hormonal talent.
00:00:17Hey dude, what are you doing?
00:00:24I'm starving.
00:00:25Well, there's a whole world of grub out there, why don't you go get some?
00:00:40Looks like you can afford it.
00:00:42I've tried it all.
00:00:43It's a horror show.
00:00:44I wish I could call the culinary cops.
00:00:47Here.
00:00:48Try this.
00:00:49I am a renowned food critic.
00:00:53I would rather starve than eat something that looks like it was wrapped by a raccoon.
00:00:57Fine, hope you don't regret it.
00:01:06What's in it?
00:01:07Just regular food.
00:01:09Just regular food?
00:01:10Now show me.
00:01:11So now you want to try it?
00:01:13Pay me first.
00:01:16I am a legendary food critic.
00:01:19If I am even thinking about eating that, you should be rolling out the red carpet.
00:01:24Well, isn't this funny?
00:01:27The starving foodie.
00:01:29I never heard of you.
00:01:30How do I know you're not a fraud?
00:01:32Same deal.
00:01:33No cash, no food.
00:01:46Well, it was a pleasure serving you today.
00:02:01I hope to see you again soon.
00:02:06It's just like that day.
00:02:08Oh!
00:02:09Dusk!
00:02:10You're...
00:02:11Oh!
00:02:12You're eating again?
00:02:13A year ago, I was a skeleton on the street.
00:02:17The culinary guru's food saved my life.
00:02:20Ever since then, I've never tasted anything like it.
00:02:24Shima...
00:02:27Vaughn, we have to find her.
00:02:29She might have some connection to the culinary guru.
00:02:36This jar is perfect for pickles.
00:02:39Mom, tell me why we brought this clueless country bumpkin home.
00:02:43You've always complained about your fiancé, that eating disorder guy.
00:02:48So, why don't we have her marry into the Thompson family instead?
00:02:52So, if Alex marries Ira, when he kicks the bucket, we can snag his fortune through her?
00:03:00Smart girl, just like your mother.
00:03:03Did you say fortune?
00:03:04Is my dad finally going to kick the bucket and leave me some cash?
00:03:08Heartless brat.
00:03:09I found a great husband for you.
00:03:11Get yourself ready to marry him.
00:03:13No, I came down to make money, not get married.
00:03:16Someone like you, so poor and provincial, should be grateful that someone wants you.
00:03:29Oh, come on.
00:03:30Someone as ugly as you could still marry my dad.
00:03:32I'm far superior to you, so I wouldn't worry about me.
00:03:36Mom?
00:03:37Our top priority right now is to secure the marriage with the sickly Thompson family.
00:03:41I'm here to handle this.
00:03:45What a handsome guy.
00:03:46Too bad he's on the verge of dying.
00:03:48Mr. Thompson, what brings you here?
00:03:51I heard Miss Williams doesn't seem to honor our engagement, so let's just call the wedding off.
00:03:57This is Ira, the eldest daughter of the Williams family.
00:04:03She can represent the Williams family in marrying you.
00:04:06It's you?
00:04:10So this is the guy you've been raving about?
00:04:13My future husband?
00:04:15I gotta say, for a guy who can't eat, you're surprisingly easy on the eyes.
00:04:19Another shallow woman smitten by my looks.
00:04:23She's a bit different, given her connection to the culinary goop.
00:04:26Miss, you know my boss?
00:04:28Yeah, I caught him on the brink of starvation just ne-
00:04:33One more word, and you're toast.
00:04:36Why can't I say anything? It's no secret you're starving.
00:04:41So on this day, he just collapsed right at my feet-
00:04:44Miss Williams, you've convinced me. Let's get married.
00:04:49Alex, you're not doing this out of pride.
00:04:51You just want to find out where the culinary guru is.
00:04:56Wait, I came down this way to find out where the culinary guru is?
00:05:01Wait, I came down the mountain to make money.
00:05:03You want to marry me? Are you rich?
00:05:06Duh, our boss is top dog of the restaurant world.
00:05:10Okay, but like, how rich are we talking?
00:05:13How rich do you want?
00:05:15Mmm, black truffle, caviar, foie gras, can you afford all that?
00:05:20Snagging the finest ingredients from the mountaintops to the ocean depths is a walk in the park for me.
00:05:25Great, then I'll marry you!
00:05:28Wait, tell me, where did you get that food box from the other day?
00:05:34We should go out on the town and get some tasty treats to celebrate.
00:05:37What? No!
00:05:46What exactly do you want to eat?
00:05:50Boss, um, your new wife seems to be a bit, uh, ditzy.
00:05:58It seems boss really cares about her.
00:06:01Boss, uh, the lady seems to be missing.
00:06:07Oh great, my new wife is gone.
00:06:09I hope she didn't get kidnapped by the culinary guru.
00:06:12Go find her.
00:06:18This clue looks good. Probably never seen a place with more than two chairs.
00:06:23So many delicious options. I knew coming down was a good idea.
00:06:28What would you like to order?
00:06:30I would like this, this, and this.
00:06:35And that's it, I am ready to feast.
00:06:37First you have to pay, and your total is $6,200, so cash or card?
00:06:45Oh, you're expecting to eat for free without paying?
00:06:48Well, I don't have any money on me, but...
00:06:50Hey, are you trying to dine and dash?
00:06:52But my husband does.
00:06:56Plutus, god of wealth, please shower me with riches.
00:07:04Please shower me with riches.
00:07:08Are you wandering, or are you just trying to get your face on the side of a milk carton?
00:07:12The fortune-summoning spell Chef McFlombie taught me actually works.
00:07:17Dear husband, pay the man.
00:07:19Look, why don't you stingy losers just come clean and stop dragging this out?
00:07:23We have some sickly pretend-to-be-rich guy? This is a joke.
00:07:32Mr. Thompson, it's an absolute honor to have you in my restaurant.
00:07:36Your staff doesn't seem too happy to see me, or my wife.
00:07:40Perhaps we should just head somewhere else.
00:07:42My sincerest of apologies.
00:07:44My sincerest of apologies for my employee's behavior.
00:07:47He'll be dismissed immediately.
00:07:57Were you defending me back there?
00:07:59As Alex Thompson's future wife, if any old joke can push you around, that's a slap in my face.
00:08:04I was just protecting my image.
00:08:06Oh, I see. Now I understand why you're so worried about being seen starving to death in the streets.
00:08:12For you, silence is golden.
00:08:16Whatever. Just shut up, will you?
00:08:28You didn't go for any of the designer clothes I picked out for you.
00:08:31All those sparkles and stitching look cute, but they're nowhere near as comfy as my own stuff.
00:08:36Besides, I'm a food expert. I don't need all that glitz and glam.
00:08:41You're a food expert? Seriously?
00:08:44Top notch. One bite of my food will have you begging for more.
00:08:48Wanna try?
00:08:49My eating issues aren't just some kitchen disaster average person can fix.
00:08:55Rich people are so fussy.
00:08:59Only if...
00:09:01that food box you made was edible.
00:09:04That one wasn't made by me.
00:09:06That one wasn't made by me.
00:09:08Damn it. Could it be? Have I been tricked into a marriage?
00:09:14It looks like my eating disorder isn't going to be cured anytime soon.
00:09:17Skinny husband, you're really going to pass on my cooking?
00:09:21If your cooking isn't up to culinary guru level, then I'm out.
00:09:25Guess that's why you're starved.
00:09:28Do you need help?
00:09:30One condition.
00:09:33Do you need help?
00:09:35One condition.
00:09:37Don't mention that incident.
00:09:39Oh, no, it's heavy and you're sick. I don't want you breaking my pot.
00:09:42It's just a bloody pot.
00:09:45Breaking it?
00:09:47You can't even lift it.
00:09:49You good? Looking like you're auditioning for a fainting scene.
00:09:53Take me back to my room.
00:09:55Boss, I got you these gourmet pastries from a top chef. They're still warm.
00:09:59Now, get that away from me. Now.
00:10:01Fine.
00:10:03Call the best doctors.
00:10:05I will not give my fortune to her.
00:10:08Boss, seriously, just eat. If you keep going like this, she'll be celebrating while you're starving.
00:10:19Where's my room, by the way?
00:10:21You and Boss Alex are married now, so you'll be sharing a room.
00:10:31Ugh.
00:10:47Am I up next for the shower?
00:10:49Yeah.
00:10:51Do you know how to use the shower head?
00:10:54Let me, um, let me step out.
00:11:08Are you okay?
00:11:14Wait, are you checking me out?
00:11:18Of course not. No, I was just checking you out.
00:11:21Of course not. No, I was just checking the plumbing.
00:11:34Hey, Vaughn.
00:11:36What's with all the cash? You buying a farm?
00:11:39The boss is trying to tackle his eating disorder.
00:11:41I hired the top medical team, and this is their tip.
00:11:46Eating disorder? That's easy peasy.
00:11:48Hand it over and I'll fix him up.
00:11:50What do you mean?
00:11:51You can send those doctors home.
00:11:53Just give me the money and I'll handle the treatment.
00:12:02What are you doing?
00:12:03Alex, I'm going to be your personal healing chef.
00:12:07You know nothing about it.
00:12:10How could you possibly cure me?
00:12:12Will you stop messing around and just get out?
00:12:17Out.
00:12:20Out.
00:12:25If Alex lives till 80,
00:12:27I'll have to live even longer to claim his assets.
00:12:31You got this, Ira.
00:12:33Eat well, drink well, and you'll easily outlive him.
00:12:50Wow!
00:12:55Well, don't just stand there like a statue.
00:12:57Let's eat together.
00:12:59Try my food and you'll no longer look like a contestant
00:13:01on a survival reality TV show.
00:13:06Like I'd touch that?
00:13:08It's probably nasty as hell.
00:13:10Fine by me.
00:13:12Just don't come begging for it later.
00:13:15Yum, yum, yum.
00:13:17So ridiculously good.
00:13:25Hurry, come eat.
00:13:27Ira's cooking is out of this world.
00:13:31No, I'm good.
00:13:33I'm not hungry.
00:13:35Sri, you've got to hang in there.
00:13:37Another plate.
00:13:39No, maybe two.
00:13:41Thank you for the best meal
00:13:43we've had in our entire lives.
00:13:45Oh, please, it's nothing.
00:13:53You pathetic, self-important foodie.
00:13:55I wonder if you're drooling yet.
00:13:58Shit!
00:14:00I need my liquid nucleus.
00:14:02Oh, it's time to go.
00:14:04Okay.
00:14:06What?
00:14:09I got this.
00:14:11How do you do that?
00:14:13I'm a还是好吃
00:14:15What?
00:14:17I'm a还是好吃
00:14:18What?
00:14:19I'm a还是好吃
00:14:21I'm a还是好吃
00:14:23I'm a还是好吃
00:14:25I need my liquid nutrients.
00:14:38Protein shakes are gone.
00:14:39I'll have to make do with something else.
00:14:45This looks pretty good.
00:14:47Weird, I'm actually tempted to try it.
00:14:51It's not that I want to try it,
00:14:54I just need to test this girl's culinary skills.
00:15:03It smells pretty good.
00:15:11Ira?
00:15:13Are you there?
00:15:25Don't care, you sneaky cake burglar.
00:15:28I'm just taste testing.
00:15:30Well, I'm not stingy.
00:15:32You can have it, but you have to pay the cake tax.
00:15:43Get off me, you wet towel.
00:15:50Seriously?
00:15:51It's empty.
00:15:54Yeah.
00:16:00Alex?
00:16:02Yeah?
00:16:02I've been wondering,
00:16:03what led to your eating disorder in the first place?
00:16:07I used to be all about savoring every gourmet dish,
00:16:11but then after too many, nothing hits the spot anymore.
00:16:19Stuff to the brim,
00:16:20the food he ate his way into an eating disorder?
00:16:24Alex?
00:16:30Alex, my heart is racing.
00:16:31What's happening to me?
00:16:36Alex?
00:16:37Alex, Alex.
00:16:45Robert used to say,
00:16:46you can skip a meal, but you can never skip a drink.
00:16:54Robert?
00:17:02What a strange guy.
00:17:13Good night, Alex.
00:17:14She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy.
00:17:45How dare you take advantage of me like that?
00:17:47What the heck was that for?
00:17:52Is it too late to apologize?
00:17:54Oh, get out.
00:18:02Are you mad?
00:18:07My signature crab cakes are the ultimate cure
00:18:09for picky eaters.
00:18:10This will be the last time I see you.
00:18:14Do my apology for hitting him.
00:18:20Oh, hi, can I help you?
00:18:22Hi, I'm Alex's wife, here to bring him his lunch.
00:18:25Oh, another one claiming to be our CEO's wife.
00:18:28Everyone knows he's anorexic and can't eat anything.
00:18:32Try harder next time.
00:18:33Maybe a wardrobe upgrade.
00:18:36What's wrong with my wardrobe?
00:18:37You're pickier than Alex is.
00:18:39I've seen too many like you.
00:18:42Stop trying to pull tricks.
00:18:47It's a shame to waste food like that.
00:18:49Let me go.
00:18:52What are you doing?
00:18:56Oh, boss, this strange woman was claiming to be your wife
00:19:02and trying to bring you lunch
00:19:04and I was just helping her on her way out.
00:19:06Did you get burned?
00:19:08How dare you treat my wife like that?
00:19:11I'm so sorry, I didn't realize she was your wife.
00:19:15Please forgive me.
00:19:17Ira, what do you think?
00:19:18I demand compensation.
00:19:20Those ingredients were extremely rare.
00:19:22I hiked a mountain to get them.
00:19:25What's going on?
00:19:27I actually have an appetite for this stuff.
00:19:32All crab cakes should be pretty much the same.
00:19:34What am I thinking?
00:19:38Great, considering eating floor food.
00:19:41Next, I'll be outside fighting the pigeons for crumbs.
00:19:44You handle this.
00:19:48You're fired.
00:19:50Oh!
00:19:53Wait, she needs to pay me.
00:20:01Thanks, Alex, I'll spend it well.
00:20:04Whoa, hold up.
00:20:06You were supposed to bring me food.
00:20:08Well, yeah, but it's gone now.
00:20:09That's it?
00:20:10You don't have anything else to say?
00:20:12Like, are you not even gonna check if I'm breathing?
00:20:15Oh.
00:20:17Checked.
00:20:18Okay, you're not dead yet.
00:20:19I'm going shopping.
00:20:23Chasing money, huh?
00:20:27Who needs love when you have an empire to run?
00:20:32Everything is on track.
00:20:34We have the lost ancient recipe as a prize.
00:20:36Should be enough to lure out the culinary guru.
00:20:38Don't worry, sir.
00:20:40We've reached Blake, the culinary guru's top apprentice.
00:20:43He'll be a judge,
00:20:45and there might be news about the chef soon.
00:20:50Vaughn, I made a new dish.
00:20:52Please take it to your boss.
00:20:54But you have to pay me before he eats it.
00:20:57Madam, the boss is busy with the culinary guru competition.
00:21:01He definitely won't be able to eat what you made.
00:21:03You're still looking for the culinary guru?
00:21:06Boss is tough to heal.
00:21:08Only the culinary guru can help.
00:21:11We're using the lost ancient recipe
00:21:12as the prize in the cook-off to lure him in.
00:21:14The lost ancient recipe?
00:21:16That's a great prize.
00:21:18My mentor will be so happy if I win it.
00:21:21You have a mentor?
00:21:26Don't worry, Alex.
00:21:27I will cure you and win the cooking competition.
00:21:30You wanna participate in the cooking competition?
00:21:33All the top chefs from the nation will be there.
00:21:36You should just forget about it.
00:21:37You'll be crushed.
00:21:39Just let me try.
00:21:40I can do it.
00:21:44Fine.
00:21:45Just don't be too upset if you lose.
00:21:48I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary.
00:21:52Great, I will show you what I can do.
00:21:57Did you hear?
00:21:58The head apprentice of the culinary guru
00:22:00is coming to judge today.
00:22:02Yeah, I just came to catch a glimpse
00:22:04of the legendary head apprentice.
00:22:06I heard Alex is bringing his new wife.
00:22:10I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with.
00:22:14Alex's wife?
00:22:17That girl is just an ugly and unrefined country bumpkin.
00:22:21I can't believe Alex ended up
00:22:22with some broke and ugly chick.
00:22:26How sad.
00:22:27I guess that's what he gets for his eating issues.
00:22:34Look!
00:22:36Look!
00:22:52She looks gorgeous.
00:22:55They are truly a match made in heaven.
00:22:58Alex doesn't look weak at all.
00:23:01I can't believe Ira's so full of herself now.
00:23:04Should I not have called off the engagement before?
00:23:06Don't be fooled by their current glamor.
00:23:10I've heard Alex's condition is worsening.
00:23:13Otherwise he wouldn't be playing matchmaker
00:23:15for the culinary guru.
00:23:17Alex owns a food empire.
00:23:19If they could find culinary guru and cure him,
00:23:22it would only benefit that hick Ira.
00:23:25No way, I have to win Alex back.
00:23:30What's in those jars?
00:23:32Those are called spices.
00:23:35You're key to making gourmet dishes.
00:23:39Oh, you know nothing, country bumpkin.
00:23:43Oh, those are just flashy things.
00:23:45The most important part of real cuisine
00:23:47is to cook with the heart.
00:23:49It's how you bring out the ingredients as natural flavors.
00:23:52Despite her usual unreliable demeanor,
00:23:55she actually has her own insights about food.
00:23:57You clueless hick, don't pretend to know anything.
00:24:01There can only be one big winner tonight, and that's me.
00:24:05Ira's right.
00:24:07A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
00:24:10I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
00:24:12Well, hold on, it's not that bad.
00:24:16You deserve to starve, Alex.
00:24:18And were it for the possibility of the culinary guru
00:24:21appearing to cure your illness,
00:24:23I wouldn't even consider taking you back.
00:24:40Master Blake, we all admire you greatly.
00:24:47Master Blake, still no news of the culinary guru?
00:24:50My master's gone into seclusion with a junior apprentice,
00:24:52and I have not been able to find out where he is.
00:24:55Blake!
00:24:57Hi, Ra. Long time no see.
00:24:59What are you doing here?
00:25:01How odd.
00:25:03The Culinary Guru's head apprentice
00:25:05knows this small town girl?
00:25:09How do you two know each other?
00:25:13Mr. Blake, the competition's about to start
00:25:15and the host is calling for you.
00:25:19Alex, don't worry.
00:25:21I think I'll still find the whereabouts of the Culinary Guru.
00:25:25Of course I know him.
00:25:33Could happen.
00:25:35People meet every day.
00:25:37Ladies and gentlemen,
00:25:39today's winner will receive
00:25:41an ancient lost recipe
00:25:43and a VIP
00:25:45fancy pink diamond from
00:25:47the Thompson family.
00:25:49The competition officially begins.
00:25:51There's only one rule.
00:25:53Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson
00:25:55to eat their dish
00:25:57wins.
00:26:01What's wrong?
00:26:03The fish is spoiled.
00:26:05I suggest you back down now
00:26:07before you embarrass yourself even more.
00:26:09This fool has no idea
00:26:11it's me pulling the strings.
00:26:17I were you little beggar!
00:26:19Thief!
00:26:21Fancy dishes don't even need tomatoes anyways.
00:26:27Hey buddy, got any leftovers?
00:26:29Just these.
00:26:31Perfect, I'll take them.
00:26:33Are you sure you want that trash?
00:26:43Hell Billy, we'll never make it on the big stage.
00:26:47Pressure will drive her crazy, right?
00:26:51What's she doing?
00:26:57I need a big pot.
00:26:59Um, sure, no problem.
00:27:01Behind you.
00:27:09What a unique
00:27:11cooking method.
00:27:13Ira, what are you doing?
00:27:15You're disgracing the Williams family.
00:27:17I've got more
00:27:19tricks up my sleeve, Ira.
00:27:21Just wait and see how you
00:27:23make a fool of yourself.
00:27:25That country bumpkin
00:27:27can't possibly win against
00:27:29Miss Evelyn.
00:27:31Evelyn is a Michelin-starred chef.
00:27:33This hillbilly is just cannon fodder.
00:27:35Keep it down
00:27:37or you'll be asked to leave.
00:27:43I added a special ingredient.
00:27:45Laxative.
00:27:47Just wait till you're disqualified.
00:28:01Just as I thought.
00:28:03Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe.
00:28:09Can't even handle the basics.
00:28:11Totally immature.
00:28:13Don't poison the judges with that shit.
00:28:17What's she doing?
00:28:19No seasonings?
00:28:21Hilarious. She's out for sure.
00:28:27Awful.
00:28:29Trash.
00:28:31This is an assault on my senses.
00:28:35Could there be a twist?
00:28:37Is Alex going to taste it?
00:28:39Up next,
00:28:41Michelin-starred chef
00:28:43Evelyn Williams.
00:28:45Will this dish impress?
00:28:47Alex,
00:28:49you're in for a treat.
00:29:01Alex, this dish seems different.
00:29:03Seems like you're savoring it.
00:29:05Totally flavorless.
00:29:07It's like my taste buds were on a vacation.
00:29:09I'll forget this dish
00:29:11the moment that I'm finished with it.
00:29:13For a chef,
00:29:15nothing is worse than being mediocre.
00:29:21Dizzy.
00:29:23Is there no food worthy
00:29:25of a gourmand like me?
00:29:27Looks like his taste buds are as sharp as ever.
00:29:29Anyone willing to try this
00:29:31stew-stuffed dish?
00:29:33Chaotic stew.
00:29:35Zero presentation, zero appeal.
00:29:37This dish doesn't even warrant
00:29:39a critique.
00:29:41I really overestimated Ira.
00:29:43Looks like Alex isn't interested
00:29:45in Ira's dish either.
00:29:47Will our gourmand go home empty-handed?
00:29:49You guys don't understand.
00:29:51My stew will be unforgettable
00:29:53after just one bite.
00:30:03Ira, stop.
00:30:05You're an embarrassment to the profession.
00:30:07What's that?
00:30:09This familiar allure?
00:30:11I even want to try this
00:30:13ugly dish.
00:30:15What's happening?
00:30:17Why am I tempted by this ugly food?
00:30:19If I eat this,
00:30:21I may lose my reputation as a foodie.
00:30:23But I really want to try it.
00:30:33Direction?
00:30:35Ira's mess of a dish is bringing down the competition.
00:30:37Post?
00:30:39Disqualify her.
00:30:41Do you think what you made was good?
00:30:47Huh?
00:30:49Emergency!
00:30:51Contestant Ira's taste-testing segment has been abruptly halted
00:30:53because our head judge, Alex, has fainted!
00:30:55Alex, are you okay?
00:30:57Ira, I'm sure this is somehow your fault.
00:30:59Get away!
00:31:03I honestly
00:31:05didn't even want to try that dish.
00:31:07Guess I'll just have to make it again for you sometime.
00:31:11How is the boss?
00:31:13His eating disorder is getting worse.
00:31:15We need a hospital now.
00:31:17The Culinary Battle
00:31:19Championship winner is
00:31:21Evelyn Williams!
00:31:23Evelyn Williams!
00:31:31Just wait.
00:31:33I'll win Alex back.
00:31:37Alex, wake up!
00:31:39Hey.
00:31:41Cut it out with the cheek pinch.
00:31:43Alex, you're finally awake.
00:31:45We thought we'd lost you.
00:31:47Ira, were you worried about me?
00:31:49Ira might
00:31:51actually have a thing for me.
00:31:53Feels not bad.
00:31:55Boss,
00:31:57you were out a long time.
00:31:59Alex,
00:32:01where are your supplements? Are you even taking care of yourself?
00:32:03I'm fine.
00:32:05It's just a sudden hunger pang.
00:32:07My body couldn't keep up with my appetite.
00:32:09Don't give me that.
00:32:11With those bloody standards, only a culinary guru
00:32:13could make you eat.
00:32:15Well, actually,
00:32:17I made that dish.
00:32:19Who are you?
00:32:21Grandma, this is Ira Williams.
00:32:23She's my wife now.
00:32:25Wife? Someone who can actually
00:32:27tolerate your pickiness?
00:32:29Dear,
00:32:31can you really make something Alex will eat?
00:32:35Well,
00:32:37Alex is as picky as a toddler.
00:32:39I'd finally made something
00:32:41he was willing to try, and then he fainted.
00:32:43Alex, you're so thin
00:32:45you could fit under a locked door.
00:32:47You're not looking healthy.
00:32:49Isn't he a handful?
00:32:51Alright, one more shot.
00:32:53The stew you made at the competition?
00:32:55Stay put.
00:32:57I'll cure you.
00:33:03What?
00:33:05Where's my seasonings?
00:33:07Easy there, Ira.
00:33:09You can still do it. It will just take a bit more time.
00:33:13Ma'am,
00:33:15Alex has fainted again. When's the dish ready?
00:33:19Again? Seriously?
00:33:21One sec.
00:33:23Strange.
00:33:25Hearing that Alex fainted made me cut my finger.
00:33:29It's just a little
00:33:31boo-boo. Who needs a culinary guru?
00:33:33Hang tight, Alex.
00:33:41I brought you the stew.
00:33:45Ira, you're late.
00:33:47Alex had my dish and is back on his feet.
00:33:49Oh, really?
00:33:51The dish that made him faint at the competition?
00:33:53I gotta try it.
00:33:57Alex, you did eat my stuff, right?
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:01Thanks for that.
00:34:03Ira, get over here.
00:34:05Hey, what happened to your hand?
00:34:07So you do care, Alex?
00:34:09No, it's not like that.
00:34:11Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew.
00:34:13I don't want blood in my food.
00:34:15Forget that old stew. I'll take care of you.
00:34:17And I can fix your eating problem.
00:34:19Only food from the culinary guru counts.
00:34:21Everything else is trash.
00:34:23You...
00:34:25Hey, I can pay you.
00:34:27I'm not after money.
00:34:29If Alex can eat my food, then
00:34:31I'm the best choice to be his wife.
00:34:33Teach Ira and let's get married.
00:34:37Marrying Alex means all his money is mine.
00:34:39Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex.
00:34:41That fortune is mine.
00:34:45Do you really want to be with someone after your cash?
00:34:47Not your business.
00:34:51Fine, give me a band-aid.
00:34:59Alex promised to share his inheritance with me.
00:35:03Do it yourself.
00:35:05Hello?
00:35:07Hello, my dear apprentice.
00:35:09I just got my phone and called you.
00:35:11How are you?
00:35:13I miss you, my dear.
00:35:15I thought I might come for a visit.
00:35:17Awesome.
00:35:19My mentor is coming to visit.
00:35:21Robert, I need backup.
00:35:23I married this rich guy, Alex Thompson,
00:35:25and now my stepsister is after him and his money.
00:35:27What are you talking about?
00:35:29I'm not after money.
00:35:31Ira, is that how you talk about me?
00:35:33Your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole.
00:35:35Why do you care what he thinks?
00:35:37Maybe you should worry about your own problems.
00:35:43Alex, great news.
00:35:45Your appetite issues are about to be fixed.
00:35:47With me taking care of your meals,
00:35:49you'll be fine.
00:35:51Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
00:35:53Actually, it's Culinary Guru.
00:35:55Really?
00:35:57Where is he?
00:35:59I've contacted Master. He's coming to help you.
00:36:03I need to win Alex over before he arrives.
00:36:07She hung up on me.
00:36:09I tell you, that Ira is getting way out of line.
00:36:11Wait a minute.
00:36:13Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO
00:36:15with the eating disorder
00:36:17that Blake asked me to treat?
00:36:29Oh, my dear apprentice.
00:36:31I'm on my way.
00:36:35They think they can kick me to the curb
00:36:37just because they found the Culinary Guru?
00:36:43But I would get this stuff anyway.
00:36:45It actually got Alex to eat my food.
00:36:49But it's mine now.
00:36:51Once Alex drinks this love potion,
00:36:53he's all mine.
00:37:01Try my soup while it's still hot.
00:37:07How's it with the Culinary Guru?
00:37:09Could this seasoning be linked to the Culinary Guru?
00:37:11It's Ira's shit.
00:37:13That's a stretch.
00:37:15You could get used to it.
00:37:17Since you could finally eat,
00:37:19let me feed you.
00:37:21I got this. Thanks.
00:37:23Come on. Don't push me away.
00:37:25What's wrong with you?
00:37:27And why is it so hot in here?
00:37:29Seriously, Evelyn, get off.
00:37:31Feeling warm?
00:37:33Let me help.
00:37:35Alex, something's off with the Culinary Guru.
00:37:39What are you doing here?
00:37:41This is how you help?
00:37:47I gotta see this.
00:37:53Get lost.
00:38:00Feeling better already, huh?
00:38:02She calls that help,
00:38:04and you just watched me get groped.
00:38:15My heart.
00:38:17Am I sick too?
00:38:19Alex, you're burning up.
00:38:21Can I help?
00:38:23Yeah, I could use your help.
00:38:29Hey, what the hell?
00:38:31Well, you were overheating.
00:38:33You must have a fever.
00:38:35I thought it might cool you down.
00:38:37Did it work?
00:38:39Ira, you were such a dork.
00:38:43Dammit, Ira, you ruined my game.
00:38:45Seriously, you're such an idiot.
00:38:47You too, John.
00:38:49Alex, guess what?
00:38:51I met the Culinary Guru.
00:38:53He thinks I'm a prodigy.
00:38:55I'm not.
00:38:57The Culinary Guru.
00:38:59He thinks I'm a prodigy and wants to take me on as his apprentice.
00:39:01If my master listens to me,
00:39:03I would make the right choice.
00:39:05Are you threatening me?
00:39:07With an apprentice like you,
00:39:09that Culinary Guru must be a joke.
00:39:11If I don't sweet-talk Alex into marrying me,
00:39:13I'll miss my shot when the Culinary Guru shows up.
00:39:15Alex, marry me,
00:39:17and I'll make sure the Culinary Guru cures you.
00:39:19Not a chance.
00:39:23Is Ira finally waking up?
00:39:25Wait, Alex tossed your dish at the competition.
00:39:27What's your secret to getting him to eat it now?
00:39:33The seasoning Alex could eat,
00:39:35that was the one Ira left behind
00:39:37at the Culinary Guru contest.
00:39:39Could it be?
00:39:41She's his apprentice!
00:39:43Ira, what's your connection to the Culinary Guru?
00:39:45Why do you keep asking me that?
00:39:47I don't know any Culinary Guru.
00:39:49So Ira really is the Culinary Guru's apprentice,
00:39:51and she doesn't even realize it.
00:39:53Well, maybe I can put that to use.
00:39:55Alex, how long can you wait?
00:39:57Don't you care about your health?
00:39:59Hands off the inheritance.
00:40:03Who's picking on my apprentice?
00:40:05Is that her mentor?
00:40:07Mentor?
00:40:09This be Culinary Guru?
00:40:11Robert, you're here!
00:40:13Great to see you, kid.
00:40:15I've missed you tons.
00:40:17Nice digs you got here, kid.
00:40:19You landed a top-tier husband, didn't you?
00:40:21I can't believe you're finally here.
00:40:23I've missed you heaps.
00:40:25The Culinary Guru is here.
00:40:27Everyone,
00:40:29meet Chef Robert McFlambé.
00:40:31This guy?
00:40:33No way he's the world-famous Culinary Guru.
00:40:35He's as basic as Ira.
00:40:37Ira, bringing in some random grandpa
00:40:39just drags down Alex's reputation.
00:40:41Shut the hell up.
00:40:43Don't insult my mentor.
00:40:45Let this queen twat yap.
00:40:47This is her only talent.
00:40:49Who are you calling twat,
00:40:51old coon?
00:40:53I am the Culinary Guru's apprentice.
00:40:55One phone call
00:40:57and I'll snuff you both out.
00:40:59The Culinary Guru's apprentice?
00:41:01Funny.
00:41:03Never heard of you.
00:41:05I'm the Culinary Guru's apprentice.
00:41:07I'm the Culinary Guru's apprentice.
00:41:09I'm the Culinary Guru's apprentice.
00:41:11Never heard of you.
00:41:15Please, people like you
00:41:17from the middle of nowhere
00:41:19wouldn't know a celebrity
00:41:21if you sat down right in front of me.
00:41:23Enough, Evelyn.
00:41:25Apologize to my mentor.
00:41:27What's so funny, old coon?
00:41:29You say you're the Culinary Guru's
00:41:31apprentice.
00:41:33Why not prove it
00:41:35with a cook-off with my apprentice?
00:41:37I just
00:41:39won the culinary championship.
00:41:41Why would I be scared of you,
00:41:43Ira?
00:41:45Last time you already lost.
00:41:47I was out last time, so
00:41:49that doesn't prove that Ira lost to you.
00:41:51Evelyn, I'm tired of your
00:41:53attitude, threatening Alex with your
00:41:55cooking. Let's just see who says she
00:41:57actually wants a taste.
00:41:59Ira, get real. If Alex could stomach
00:42:01your food, he would have by now.
00:42:03We'll see.
00:42:07With my secret sauce,
00:42:09let's see you stand a chance, Ira.
00:42:13Now why does she have my special blend
00:42:15in her hand?
00:42:19Oh, no!
00:42:21Your fish, it's burning!
00:42:23What?!
00:42:29You sly old man!
00:42:31Learn from me and you might succeed.
00:42:33I'm going to get you.
00:42:35Learn from me and you might succeed.
00:42:37Copy me and you're going down.
00:42:39Let's see you beat Ira now, without my
00:42:41special blend.
00:42:45Alex will love this little
00:42:47kid food.
00:42:49Burn, baby, burn.
00:42:51All set.
00:42:53Just need my turkey.
00:42:59What the hell?
00:43:01Burnt?
00:43:03Time to fix this now.
00:43:09Come at me, sis.
00:43:11You're always going to lose.
00:43:19You have to try my dish.
00:43:21Where's Ira?
00:43:23I'm not hungry yet.
00:43:25I'll wait for her food.
00:43:27My sole is going to get cold, Alex.
00:43:29Why wait your stomach
00:43:31for Ira?
00:43:33What's taking her so long?
00:43:37What's going on, ma'am?
00:43:39Look, she has nothing, Alex.
00:43:41Looks like she's ready to throw in the towel.
00:43:43Ira?
00:43:45What's going on?
00:43:47Given to you, not a chance.
00:43:51Didn't even finish
00:43:53a dish and she's still talking big.
00:43:55Face it, Alex.
00:43:57She's all talk, not marriage
00:43:59material.
00:44:01Who says I didn't finish?
00:44:03Just...
00:44:05Just hold your horses.
00:44:07Stop stalling, Ira.
00:44:09You miss the deadline, you lose.
00:44:11I'm the one who deserves
00:44:13that ring.
00:44:15Alex, you're not actually buying this, right?
00:44:17Ira, when did I ever
00:44:19say...
00:44:21Alex, just try this.
00:44:23When I win, Ira's out.
00:44:25And the title's mine for good.
00:44:27Once again, let's hear the verdict.
00:44:39Hey, you good, boss?
00:44:43That is the worst slop
00:44:45I have ever tasted.
00:44:47What the hell?
00:44:49What did you put in that?
00:44:51It's triggering his eating disorder.
00:44:53Impossible! My spices are perfect.
00:44:55Someone must have messed with them.
00:44:57Evelyn, really?
00:44:59You're calling this yours?
00:45:01That's mine.
00:45:03I couldn't find it at the competition.
00:45:05So you took it.
00:45:09Evelyn, really? This is ours.
00:45:11You're a thief.
00:45:13No, no. Alex, you have to believe me.
00:45:15Vaughn, kick her out.
00:45:17Alex, just give me one more shot.
00:45:19I can whip up something amazing.
00:45:21Get lost.
00:45:23It can't be happening!
00:45:31Get that away from me.
00:45:33I can't even handle a protein shake right now.
00:45:3925 Oak Street.
00:45:41Yes, we have an emergency.
00:45:43Chronic eating disorder.
00:45:45Yes, we need help right away.
00:45:47Hang tight. My dish is almost done.
00:45:49Guess I'm doomed to starve as a foodie.
00:45:51Only the culinary guru gets me.
00:45:53So if the culinary guru doesn't show,
00:45:55you're off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
00:46:03You know, Irish cooking has totally surpassed mine.
00:46:05You gotta try it.
00:46:07It's a flavor journey, man.
00:46:09I can't trust anyone anymore.
00:46:11Eating garbage every day.
00:46:13Just take me now.
00:46:17Alex, since you wanted a divorce,
00:46:19shall we figure out what happens next?
00:46:21Who talked about a divorce?
00:46:23I'm on my last legs here.
00:46:25Couldn't you at least comfort me?
00:46:27Weird.
00:46:29I kinda don't like seeing Alex like this.
00:46:33What's that noise?
00:46:35No need for the hospital.
00:46:37My roast chicken is ready.
00:46:49Here, Alex. Chow down.
00:46:53Guess your fortune is mine.
00:46:55Forget about him, Ira. Let's dig in.
00:46:59Man, that smells amazing.
00:47:01Try a piece.
00:47:05It's so sad my boss can't eat anything.
00:47:15Boss, this is the best food ever!
00:47:17You gotta try some, please!
00:47:19Told you.
00:47:21Ira's got skills.
00:47:23You can talk all you want.
00:47:25This world's food has burned me too many times.
00:47:27I've told Alex my cooking could cure him.
00:47:29Do all husbands not trust their wives?
00:47:31Maybe I just need a normal guy.
00:47:33Well, what are you after?
00:47:35Pretty boy? A handsome guy?
00:47:37I've got connections.
00:47:39Oh.
00:47:41Well, look who the cat dragged in.
00:47:43How was heaven treating you?
00:47:49Fine.
00:47:51One more shot.
00:47:53But remember,
00:47:55I'm a food critic.
00:47:57I'll be keeping it real.
00:47:59No sugar coating.
00:48:01If you want some, help yourself.
00:48:03What are you waiting for?
00:48:05A butler?
00:48:13What?
00:48:23Ira's cooking is even better
00:48:25than the culinary guru.
00:48:27Boss is eating!
00:48:29I've gotta tell Lady Linda.
00:48:31Ira,
00:48:33what is your connection to the culinary guru?
00:48:35Why do you keep asking that?
00:48:37I don't know a culinary guru.
00:48:39He's probably just a scammer.
00:48:43Get over it already.
00:48:45But that box you made
00:48:47was just like the culinary guru.
00:48:49And your dish, Ira,
00:48:51even I, a top critic,
00:48:53I've gotta admit,
00:48:55it's legit.
00:48:57Well, Robert made that one.
00:49:03Yeah, uh,
00:49:05sorry, I forgot to say,
00:49:07I'm the one everyone's been talking about.
00:49:09I'm the culinary guru.
00:49:13What?
00:49:17And Ira here,
00:49:19my apprentice,
00:49:21is already better than I am.
00:49:27Why didn't you tell us sooner?
00:49:29Alex wouldn't have been sick this entire time.
00:49:31Ira,
00:49:33I didn't know
00:49:35you actually cared about me.
00:49:37Well, you're such a picky eater
00:49:39you had me believing that
00:49:41cooking needed some serious work.
00:49:43So you've just been cooking
00:49:45for me to test your skills, huh?
00:49:51Boss!
00:49:53You're eating again!
00:49:55We're in the clear for the food court project.
00:49:59Alex, I whipped up a new dish.
00:50:01You gotta try it.
00:50:03Another review session?
00:50:05As your test subject.
00:50:07You know, I have my pride too.
00:50:09What's this...
00:50:11mess?
00:50:13You know I'm a bit of an eat freak.
00:50:15So,
00:50:17other than cooking,
00:50:19do you have any big dreams?
00:50:21I sure do!
00:50:35I need to save my dinner from burning.
00:50:37Life's better when you can actually eat.
00:50:47Why is my face so hot?
00:51:07Oh, crap!
00:51:09I ruined it.
00:51:11My first time messing up a dish
00:51:13and it's all Alex's fault?
00:51:15I must be cursed.
00:51:17No way. I'm outta here.
00:51:21Oh, I love this suit.
00:51:23It's so nice.
00:51:29Alex, since you're feeling better,
00:51:31I'm outta here.
00:51:33So, who's this?
00:51:37Hi, I'm Gina.
00:51:39Ira, you said you were leaving?
00:51:41You know what?
00:51:43I might stick around.
00:51:55Ira, honey, what's the hurry?
00:51:57Grandma, Alex is downstairs
00:51:59chatting with some girl.
00:52:01Alex,
00:52:03I've missed you all these years.
00:52:05Oh, really?
00:52:07I don't believe it.
00:52:09Grandma, who is she?
00:52:11I don't buy it either.
00:52:13She's just acting sweet.
00:52:15She's Alex's first crush.
00:52:17The one that left him to study abroad
00:52:19without a thought.
00:52:21Gina,
00:52:23didn't you swear you were done with this place?
00:52:25Didn't you swear you were done with this place?
00:52:33Alex, I've missed you all these years.
00:52:35I came back because my heart belongs to you.
00:52:37Looks like Ira's
00:52:39catching feelings for Alex.
00:52:43I know I blew it before.
00:52:45I put my plans before us
00:52:47and threw away everything that we had,
00:52:49but I'm here.
00:52:51I'm willing to throw away all my pride,
00:52:53whatever it takes
00:52:55to say I'll give it one more chance.
00:52:57Gina, you left him with nothing
00:52:59but a letter.
00:53:01I was lost trying to make sense of it for so long.
00:53:03And now you're back.
00:53:05What's the point?
00:53:07Alex, I came back for us.
00:53:09I've never forgotten about us.
00:53:11After all these years,
00:53:13I know you still feel it too.
00:53:15You haven't forgotten what we had.
00:53:17Let's just give it another shot.
00:53:24Oh, God!
00:53:26Aren't you hungry, Alex?
00:53:28Let's go.
00:53:30Alex!
00:53:32Gina, I'm married now.
00:53:34Just go.
00:53:38Oh!
00:53:40Oh!
00:53:42Oh, my ankle! I twisted it!
00:53:44You okay?
00:53:46I twisted it. It hurts.
00:53:48Oh, Alex, put the ointment on it
00:53:50like you used to.
00:53:52I haven't forgotten how sweet you are.
00:53:54I'll take care of it.
00:53:58Ow! Ow! Ow!
00:54:00Myra's acting all weird.
00:54:04Is she finally feeling jealous?
00:54:08Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
00:54:12No, Frank.
00:54:14She's totally faking it.
00:54:16Ow!
00:54:20Ow! Easy!
00:54:22You're crushing me!
00:54:24Oh, you're fine.
00:54:26But this time, I'm gonna make sure it really hurts.
00:54:28Ow!
00:54:30Ow!
00:54:36Myra, where are you going?
00:54:42Myra, you look like you lost your puppy.
00:54:44Alex's ex is back in town.
00:54:49Better keep your eye out.
00:54:51Alex is my husband.
00:54:53I'm not letting anyone take his fortune.
00:54:55Yeah, where a guy's heart goes,
00:54:57the wallet soon follows.
00:54:59Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
00:55:01You got your work cut out for you.
00:55:03Body, she's got your beat.
00:55:05Looks, she's classy.
00:55:07You're comfy.
00:55:09She's got her degree,
00:55:11and you're still learning.
00:55:13Personality,
00:55:15she's sweet.
00:55:17You're hungry.
00:55:19Don't forget she's Alex's first love.
00:55:21Guys, don't forget that.
00:55:25Well, crap.
00:55:27I guess I don't stand a chance.
00:55:29Well, you got one ace up your sleeve.
00:55:31You were there for him
00:55:33and helped him through his
00:55:35eating disorder.
00:55:37You were there when he needed you.
00:55:39I've gotta cook something good.
00:55:41There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
00:55:47Poor kid.
00:55:49She's got it bad and doesn't even know it.
00:55:51Thinks it's all about the cash.
00:55:55Really?
00:55:57No second chance for me?
00:56:01Gina, I'm taking.
00:56:03Take care.
00:56:12Hi, it's Ira.
00:56:14Sorry I missed your call.
00:56:16Leave a message.
00:56:18Where's Ira?
00:56:20She's dodging my calls.
00:56:22That must be Ira.
00:56:24Time to see if she's jealous.
00:56:31Got it, Alex.
00:56:33I'll be leaving tomorrow.
00:56:35Let's have this drink as a farewell.
00:56:37Cheers to your next chapter.
00:56:42Hm.
00:56:51Are you alright?
00:56:53Here, let me help you.
00:57:04Oh, Alex.
00:57:06We have so much to catch up on
00:57:08after all this time.
00:57:11Alex, you have to try my new dish.
00:57:22Alex, Ira left
00:57:24because she's upset with us.
00:57:26What do you think we should do?
00:57:28Get off.
00:57:30Ira!
00:57:32Alex.
00:57:34Gina, seriously?
00:57:36You drugged my drink.
00:57:38That's low, even for you.
00:57:40Alex, no, come on.
00:57:42Get off.
00:57:46You're gonna regret this.
00:57:54Steven,
00:57:56the chef's apprentice is out.
00:57:58You're halfway to taking the food court project.
00:58:00Well done, Gina.
00:58:02Alex,
00:58:04remember when you trashed
00:58:06for using garbage ingredients?
00:58:08This time,
00:58:10I'm gonna wipe the floor with you
00:58:12and show you how wrong you were.
00:58:14We need top quality ingredients
00:58:16for this project, or-
00:58:18I got it.
00:58:20Oh, you've reminded me of something.
00:58:22Besides the apprentice of Culinary Groomer,
00:58:24Alex has got his own head chefs.
00:58:26I'm on the back.
00:58:28I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
00:58:30Once we snag the food court project,
00:58:32I'll get my share, right?
00:58:34Absolutely.
00:58:37Alex,
00:58:39I gave you a chance.
00:58:41This is all on you.
00:58:52She blocked me.
00:58:54What is she, a teenager?
00:58:56Boss?
00:58:58We've got a problem.
00:59:00That stupid Steven's been stealing our chefs left and right.
00:59:02We won't have a head chef for the food city project
00:59:04next week, and where it is, we're heading for bankruptcy.
00:59:06Of all the times for Ira
00:59:08to throw a fit.
00:59:10Get on it.
00:59:12Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
00:59:20Hot off the press,
00:59:22KL's group's top chef
00:59:24have flocked over to Steven's snow group,
00:59:26leaving little doubt about who will win
00:59:28next week's food city project.
00:59:30Could this be the beginning
00:59:32of the end for KL group?
00:59:34Oh, man, Alex is in trouble.
00:59:36So what?
00:59:38He has Gina now, doesn't he?
00:59:40Yeah, I guess.
00:59:42Alex is yesterday's news.
00:59:44I'm gonna go cook.
00:59:48Is it really that bad?
00:59:50Are you thinking about helping Alex?
00:59:52No.
00:59:58After the judges voting,
01:00:00the finalists for the food city bidding competition
01:00:02are KL group
01:00:04and snow group.
01:00:08All right, folks.
01:00:10It's time for round two,
01:00:12where we invite our star Michelin starred
01:00:14chefs to the plate to create their
01:00:16magnum opuses.
01:00:18Let's get things started with snow group.
01:00:20Please give her a warm welcome, folks.
01:00:28Gina.
01:00:32Didn't expect this, did you, Alex?
01:00:36Gina's been on my side the entire time.
01:00:38All that talk of you two getting back together,
01:00:40just a little trick to
01:00:42separate you from your precious apprentice.
01:00:44Alex,
01:00:46I gave you a chance.
01:00:48When you told everybody
01:00:50that my company uses inferior ingredients,
01:00:52I swore I was going to bring you down.
01:00:56Your character is just like your ingredients,
01:00:58rotten on the inside and out.
01:01:02Keep talking tough, Alex.
01:01:04But where are you now?
01:01:06No head chef,
01:01:08no culinary genius.
01:01:10I'm going to snatch that project
01:01:12you've been drooling over,
01:01:14and then I'm going to watch
01:01:16Kale Group crumble.
01:01:20Ladies and gentlemen,
01:01:22now we have the lovely
01:01:24Ms. Gina ready to present her dish.
01:01:26Kale Group,
01:01:28it's your turn to step up.
01:01:30What's going on?
01:01:32Why is there nobody on Alex's side?
01:01:34Looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
01:01:40Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
01:01:42Even if you squeak by
01:01:44the first round,
01:01:46you've got no one for the second.
01:01:50She's got me all wrong.
01:01:52I don't think she's coming back.
01:01:54This misunderstanding is too deep.
01:01:56Since we have
01:01:58no one from Kale Group to compete,
01:02:00I hereby announce that the winner
01:02:02is Snow!
01:02:04Wait a minute!
01:02:08Alex, I'm back.
01:02:14What's the score?
01:02:16We're toast.
01:02:18I thought Gina was your ace.
01:02:20I guess she's not cutting it, huh?
01:02:22It's not like that with her and me.
01:02:24And Gina's representing Stephen in this competition.
01:02:26So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
01:02:28Ira,
01:02:30nothing happened with her.
01:02:32I will represent the Kale Group.
01:02:34I'll take Gina on myself.
01:02:36Aren't we expecting to see
01:02:38Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
01:02:40Are you really in that league?
01:02:42No, I'm not.
01:02:44How can she compete when she doesn't have any credentials?
01:02:46Especially against Gina.
01:02:48I mean, she has
01:02:50Royal Chef status.
01:02:52Royal Chef? Never heard of it.
01:02:54I was trained by the Culinary Guru,
01:02:56though, if that means anything.
01:03:00The Culinary Guru hasn't been around for ages.
01:03:02And besides,
01:03:04Gina, she trained with the Sea Guru, Robert.
01:03:06She said she's trained with them?
01:03:08I mean, what?
01:03:10You're
01:03:12the Culinary Guru's
01:03:14apprentice?
01:03:16So Stephen stole all of Alex's
01:03:18chefs. Well, I may not
01:03:20be Michelin-starred status, but
01:03:22I have what it takes to represent the Kale Group.
01:03:24Why do you think
01:03:26you can represent Kale?
01:03:28Because I'm his wife. That's why.
01:03:30Ira,
01:03:32you're a lifesaver.
01:03:34Let's see what you
01:03:36cook up.
01:03:38I'll give it a try,
01:03:40and we'll see who
01:03:42takes the crown. And who are you,
01:03:44old man? What makes you think
01:03:46you're in charge here?
01:03:48He's Alan Dukas, president of the
01:03:50DuPont Group, the project's
01:03:52big cheese.
01:03:56Oh, he's definitely the one with the final say.
01:04:00Sir, this is the
01:04:02dish from Snow Group.
01:04:04Rich,
01:04:06and aromatic.
01:04:08Like you're basking in a
01:04:10warm Mediterranean sun.
01:04:12I created this
01:04:14with the combined efforts of three
01:04:16top chefs. So good luck
01:04:18beating that, Ira. You may
01:04:20be the Culinary Guru's apprentice, but
01:04:22that doesn't mean that you can outshine the work
01:04:24of four of us combined.
01:04:30Seriously,
01:04:32you think you can compete
01:04:34with something so simple and
01:04:36rough? This is what the Culinary
01:04:38Guru's apprentice comes up
01:04:40with? It's so inelegant.
01:04:42You don't understand. A chef
01:04:44who can't cook with pure ingredients
01:04:46will never make the best food.
01:04:50Ira's right. A chef who relies
01:04:52only on spices is a one-trick pony.
01:04:54I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
01:05:02What's up with Alan?
01:05:04Why isn't he saying anything?
01:05:06Do you think the stuff is that bad?
01:05:08It must be terrible.
01:05:10Mr. Alan's in tears.
01:05:12No one asked your opinion. Mr. Alan,
01:05:14how does it taste?
01:05:18My dream
01:05:20since I was young was to taste
01:05:22the best food in the world.
01:05:24I never guessed I would do it
01:05:26today. I've waited 30 years
01:05:28for this.
01:05:30I declare the KL Group
01:05:32led by Alex
01:05:34winner.
01:05:36This isn't fair!
01:05:38I used the best, most expensive ingredients
01:05:40for my dish. How can plain scrambled eggs
01:05:42beat that?
01:05:44If all they care about is chasing fancy
01:05:46and extravagant, that is not what the project
01:05:48needs. Snow Group
01:05:50doesn't cut it.
01:05:52Just wait, Alex. I'm going to make you pay.
01:05:56Ira,
01:05:58Ira,
01:06:00you crushed it. Food City Project
01:06:02is ours. I told you I could do it.
01:06:04Miss Ira,
01:06:06I have to know, what
01:06:08were you thinking while you were
01:06:10whipping those eggs that came so delicious?
01:06:12I guess I was
01:06:14just thinking about
01:06:16someone special.
01:06:18Miss Ira,
01:06:20sounds like you
01:06:22have it for that person.
01:06:28Oh?
01:06:34Alex, you promised me a
01:06:36surprise.
01:06:38What is it? Ira,
01:06:40thanks for everything in this competition.
01:06:42This is a
01:06:44family heirloom, meant
01:06:46for Mrs. Thompson.
01:06:48So Ira,
01:06:50will you be mine forever?
01:06:58Stay
01:07:00forever? That sounds
01:07:02boring. I haven't even explored
01:07:04the world yet. Guess I can't keep the
01:07:06bracelet, huh?
01:07:10Ira, do you not get
01:07:12it, or are you just messing with me?
01:07:20Hey Alex, what's up? You called for me?
01:07:22I have two gifts for you.
01:07:24Here's a card
01:07:26with half my fortune.
01:07:28Take it as a thank you.
01:07:32Alex, you're the best.
01:07:34I love cash. Now I can buy
01:07:36all the ingredients I want and travel anywhere.
01:07:38Ira,
01:07:40I like you. I want to
01:07:42take our relationship to the next level.
01:07:44What do you think? How do you feel about me?
01:07:48Um, you certainly
01:07:50have the money, and you let me prove my
01:07:52cooking abilities.
01:07:54You really have made all my dreams come true.
01:07:56Ira,
01:07:58you want out, right?
01:08:00I'll give you the money and the
01:08:02freedom you want.
01:08:04Here's a
01:08:06divorce agreement.
01:08:08Let's end this.
01:08:18Ira, sign this
01:08:20and you're free.
01:08:22I'm leaving the country after it's done.
01:08:24Take care.
01:08:26I just remembered something.
01:08:40What does Alex mean?
01:08:42What does Alex mean?
01:08:50Why can't I stop thinking about him?
01:08:58Why was I thinking about Alex all night?
01:09:00Alex seemed off yesterday.
01:09:02Maybe I should cheer him up
01:09:04when I see him.
01:09:06Oh crap, I never signed the divorce papers.
01:09:08How do I bring that up?
01:09:12Where's Alex?
01:09:14It feels weird not seeing him around.
01:09:18Hey.
01:09:20Grandma, where's Alex?
01:09:22Oh Alex, he's at the airport.
01:09:24About to jet off.
01:09:26Congrats honey, you'll finally be free.
01:09:28No more Alex to nag you.
01:09:30What?
01:09:32Alex!
01:09:40Boss, the plane is boarding.
01:09:42Looks like she's not coming.
01:09:44She didn't even bother to show up.
01:09:48Like I care.
01:09:50Vaughn, let's go home.
01:09:56Alex!
01:10:02I love losing you.
01:10:06Ira, if I stay, you'll end up leaving.
01:10:08You want your freedom
01:10:10and you don't love me.
01:10:12I can't be selfish and keep you trapped in this marriage.
01:10:14I don't want you to leave.
01:10:16Why not?
01:10:18Because...
01:10:20Because when I'm not with you,
01:10:22you're all I think about.
01:10:24Alex, you asked me how I felt
01:10:26and I finally know.
01:10:28I love you.
01:10:32Ira.
01:10:36I love you too.
01:10:48I'm not signing this.
01:10:50That's not real, it doesn't matter.
01:10:52Huh?
01:11:02I love you.
01:11:26Nailed it.
01:11:28That smells great.
01:11:30You're a flavor bomb. Ira's cooking is always the best.
01:11:36Nice.
01:11:38Oh my gosh, so good. Thanks, Ira.
01:11:40Of course.
01:11:44My blue lobster!
01:11:46My gourmet tuna!
01:11:48My treasures!
01:11:50Chef McFlambé, what's wrong?
01:11:52You used all
01:11:54my top shelf shit?
01:11:56Well, why let the primo ingredients go to waste, you know?
01:11:58We're done.
01:12:00We're like a diet soda at a barbecue,
01:12:02completely empty.
01:12:04Oh, you need money? Well, leave that to me. Let's rob a bank.
01:12:06Where did you hear that?
01:12:08The villagers know a guy who did it
01:12:10and walked away with a ton of easy cash.
01:12:12That's illegal.
01:12:14We don't go from chef to criminal.
01:12:16What's next, a recipe for
01:12:18jailhouse bread?
01:12:20Well then, how do we make money?
01:12:22Your cooking skills have surpassed mine.
01:12:24You could go down the mountain
01:12:26and make some cash.
01:12:28And there are endless ingredients down there,
01:12:30so you'll really shine.
01:12:32I'll be a world-famous
01:12:34chef.
01:12:48Watch out, world. Here I come.
01:12:50Come on.
01:12:52Vaughn has the
01:12:54prep for the culinary competition coming.
01:13:00Being anorexic is so bad.
01:13:06We have to find
01:13:08the culinary guru this time.
