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.
00:00:22Hey dude, what are you doing?
00:00:23I'm starving.
00:00:24Well, 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.
00:01:45Here you go.
00:01:59Well 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!
00:02:09Gus!
00:02:10You're...
00:02:11You're eating again?
00:02:12A year ago, I was a skeleton on the street, and the culinary guru's food saved my life.
00:02:21Ever since then, I've never tasted anything like it.
00:02:24She mu-
00:02:25Vaughn, we have to find her.
00:02:30She might have some connection to the culinary guru.
00:02:36This jar is perfect for pickles.
00:02:40Tell 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.
00:03:01Just like your mother.
00:03:03Did you say fortune?
00:03:05Is 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.
00:03:17Someone like you, so poor and provincial, should be grateful that someone wants you.
00:03:24Oh, come on.
00:03:27Someone as ugly as you could still marry my dad.
00:03:32I'm far superior to you, so I wouldn't worry about me.
00:03:35Mom!
00:03:37Our top priority right now is to secure the marriage with the sickly Thompson heir.
00:03:41I'm here to handle this.
00:03:48What a handsome guy.
00:03:49Too bad he's on the verge of dying.
00:03:51Mr. Thompson, what brings you here?
00:03:54I heard Miss Williams doesn't seem to honor our engagement, so let's just call the wedding
00:03:59off.
00:04:00Wait, there must be a misunderstanding.
00:04:04This is Ira, the eldest daughter of the Williams family.
00:04:08She can represent the Williams family in marrying you.
00:04:12It's you?
00:04:16So this is the guy you've been raving about?
00:04:19My future husband?
00:04:20I gotta say, for a guy who can't eat, you're surprisingly easy on the eyes.
00:04:26Another shallow woman smitten by my looks.
00:04:29She's a bit different, given her connection to the culinary goop.
00:04:32Miss, you know my boss?
00:04:34Yeah, I caught him on the brink of starvation just ne-
00:04:43One more word, and you're toast.
00:04:46Why can't I say anything?
00:04:47It's no secret you're starving.
00:04:51So on this day, he just collapsed right at my feet.
00:04:54Miss Williams, you've convinced me.
00:04:56Let's get married.
00:04:59Alex, you're not doing this out of pride.
00:05:02You just want to find out where the culinary guru is.
00:05:07Wait, I came down the mountain to make money.
00:05:10You want to marry me?
00:05:11Are you rich?
00:05:13Duh.
00:05:14Our boss is top dog of the restaurant world.
00:05:17Okay, but like, how rich are we talking?
00:05:20How rich do you want?
00:05:22Black truffle, caviar, foie gras.
00:05:25Can you afford all that?
00:05:27Getting the finest ingredients from the mountaintops to the ocean depths is a walk in the park for me.
00:05:32Great, then I'll marry you.
00:05:36Wait.
00:05:37Tell 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.
00:05:43What?
00:05:44No!
00:05:52What exactly do you want to eat?
00:05:55Boss, um, your new wife seems to be a bit, uh, ditzy.
00:06:04It seems boss really cares about her.
00:06:07Boss, the lady seems to be missing.
00:06:12Oh great, my new wife is gone.
00:06:15I hope she didn't get kidnapped by the culinary guru.
00:06:18Go find her.
00:06:20Sigh.
00:06:25This clue looks sick.
00:06:26Probably never seen a place with more than two chairs.
00:06:32So many delicious options.
00:06:34I knew coming down was a good idea.
00:06:37What would you like to order?
00:06:39I would like this, this, and this.
00:06:44And that's it.
00:06:45I am ready to feast.
00:06:46First you have to pay, and your total is $6,200, so cash or card?
00:06:54Oh, you're expecting to eat for free without paying?
00:06:56Well, I don't have any money on me, but...
00:06:58Hey, are you trying to dine and dash?
00:07:00But 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?
00:07:20The fortune-summoning spell Chef McFlombie taught me actually works.
00:07:25Dear husband, pay the man.
00:07:27Look, why don't you stingy losers just come clean and stop dragging this out?
00:07:31Let me have some sickly pretend-to-be-rich guy?
00:07:34This is a joke.
00:07:40Mr. Thompson, it's an absolute honor to have you in my restaurant.
00:07:44Your staff doesn't seem too happy to see me, or my wife.
00:07:48Perhaps we should just head somewhere else.
00:07:50My sincerest apologies for my employee's behavior.
00:07:53He'll be dismissed immediately.
00:08:03Were you defending me back there?
00:08:05As Alex Thompson's future wife, if any old joke can push you around, that's a slap in my face.
00:08:10I 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.
00:08:19For you, silence is golden.
00:08:22Whatever. Just shut up, will you?
00:08:35You didn't go for any of the designer clothes I picked out for you.
00:08:37All those sparkles and stitching look cute, but they're nowhere near as comfy as my own stuff.
00:08:43Besides, I'm a food expert. I don't need all that glitz and glam.
00:08:47You're a food expert? Seriously?
00:08:50Top notch. One bite of my food will have you begging for more.
00:08:54Wanna try?
00:08:55My eating issues aren't just some kitchen disaster average person can fix.
00:09:01Rich people are so fussy.
00:09:05Only if that food box you made was edible.
00:09:10That one wasn't made by me.
00:09:13Damn it. Could it be? Have I been tricked into a marriage?
00:09:19It looks like my eating disorder isn't going to be cured anytime soon.
00:09:22Skinny husband, you're really going to pass on my cooking?
00:09:26If your cooking isn't up to culinary guru level, then I'm out.
00:09:30Guess that's why you're starved.
00:09:33Do you need help?
00:09:35One condition. Don't mention it.
00:09:38Do you need help?
00:09:40One condition. Don't mention that incident.
00:09:44Oh, no, it's heavy and you're sick. I don't want you breaking my pot.
00:09:47It's just a bloody pot.
00:09:50Breaking it? You can't even lift it.
00:09:55You good? Looking like you're auditioning for a fainting scene.
00:09:58Take me back to my room.
00:10:00Boss, I got you these gourmet pastries from the top chef. They're still warm.
00:10:04Now, get that away from me. Now.
00:10:08Vaughn.
00:10:10Call 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.
00:10:26Where's my room, by the way?
00:10:27You and Boss Alex are married now, so you'll be sharing a room.
00:10:38Ugh.
00:10:54Am I up next for the shower?
00:10:56Yeah, uh, do you know how to use the shower head?
00:11:00What?
00:11:06Let me, um, let me step out.
00:11:18Are you okay?
00:11:24Wait, are you checking me out?
00:11:27Of course not. No, I was just checking the plumbing.
00:11:40Hey, Vaughn.
00:11:42What'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.
00:11:52Eating disorder? That's easy peasy. Hand it over and I'll fix him up.
00:11:57What do you mean?
00:11:58You can send those doctors home. Just give me the money and I'll handle the treatment.
00:12:09What are you doing?
00:12:10Alex, I'm going to be your personal healing chef.
00:12:14You know nothing about me. How could you possibly cure me?
00:12:19You stop messing around and just get out.
00:12:24Out.
00:12:27Out.
00:12:31If Alex lives till 80, I'll have to live even longer to claim his assets.
00:12:37You got this, Ira. Eat well, drink well, and you'll easily outlive him.
00:12:57Wow!
00:13:01Well, don't just stand there like a statue. Let's eat together.
00:13:04Try my food and you'll no longer look like a contestant on a survival reality TV show.
00:13:12Like I'd touch that? It's probably nasty as hell.
00:13:16Fine by me. Just don't come begging for it later.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:25Yum, yum, yum. So ridiculously good.
00:13:34Hurry, come eat. Ira's cooking is out of this world.
00:13:40No, I'm good. I'm not hungry.
00:13:44Sure you've got to hang in there.
00:13:45Another plate! No, maybe two!
00:13:49Thank you for the best meal we've had in our entire lives.
00:13:53Oh, please. It's nothing.
00:14:02You pathetic, self-important foodie. I wonder if you're drooling yet.
00:14:15Oh, shit. I need my liquid nutrients.
00:14:34Oh, the protein shakes are gone.
00:14:38I'll have to make do with something else.
00:14:43This looks pretty good. I'm weird. I'm actually tempted to try it.
00:14:50It's not that I want to try it. I just need to test this girl's culinary skills.
00:14:55It smells pretty good.
00:15:03Ira? Are you there?
00:15:12Ira?
00:15:14Ira?
00:15:16Ira?
00:15:18Ira?
00:15:20Ira?
00:15:22Ira?
00:15:23Ira?
00:15:31Down here, you sneaky cake burglar.
00:15:34I'm just taste testing.
00:15:36Well, I'm not stingy. You can have it, but you have to pay the cake tax.
00:15:48Get off me, you wet towel.
00:15:53Ugh, seriously? It's empty.
00:16:06Alex?
00:16:07Yeah?
00:16:08I'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.
00:16:16But then after too many, nothing hits the spot anymore.
00:16:21Ah!
00:16:25Stuff to the brim. The food he 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.
00:17:10Good night.
00:17:19Good night, Alex.
00:17:30She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy.
00:17:40I'm sorry.
00:17:54How dare you take advantage of me like that?
00:17:56What the heck was that for?
00:18:00Is it too late to apologize?
00:18:03Oh, get out!
00:18:10Are you mad?
00:18:16My signature crab cakes are the ultimate cure for picky eaters.
00:18:19This will be my apology for hitting him.
00:18:26Oh, hi, can I help you?
00:18:28Hi, I'm Alex's wife, here to bring him his lunch.
00:18:31Oh, another one claiming to be our CEO's wife.
00:18:34Everyone knows he's anorexic and can't eat anything.
00:18:37Try harder next time. Maybe a wardrobe upgrade.
00:18:41What's wrong with my wardrobe? You're pickier than Alex is.
00:18:45I've seen too many like you.
00:18:48Stop trying to pull tricks.
00:18:52It's a shame to waste food like that.
00:18:55Let me go!
00:18:57What are you doing?
00:18:59Wait.
00:19:04Boss, this strange woman was claiming to be your wife and trying to bring you lunch.
00:19:10And I was just helping her on her way out.
00:19:13Did you get burned?
00:19:16How dare you treat my wife like that?
00:19:19I'm so sorry, I didn't realize she was your wife.
00:19:22Please forgive me.
00:19:24Ira, what do you think?
00:19:25I demand compensation.
00:19:27Those ingredients were extremely rare. I hiked a mountain to get them.
00:19:32What's going on?
00:19:34I actually have an appetite for this stuff.
00:19:38All crab cakes should be pretty much the same. What am I thinking?
00:19:44Great, considering eating floor food.
00:19:47Next I'll be outside fighting the pigeons for crumbs.
00:19:50You handle this.
00:19:54You're fired.
00:19:57Wait, she needs to pay me.
00:20:06Thanks, Alex. I'll spend it well.
00:20:09Whoa, hold up. You were supposed to bring me food.
00:20:12Well, yeah, but it's gone now.
00:20:14That's it? You don't have anything else to say?
00:20:17Like, are you not even going to check if I'm breathing?
00:20:20Oh.
00:20:22Checked.
00:20:23Okay, you're not dead yet. I'm going shopping.
00:20:25I'm going shopping.
00:20:29Chasing money, huh?
00:20:32Who needs love when you have an empire to run?
00:20:37Everything is on track.
00:20:39We have the lost ancient recipe as a prize.
00:20:42Should be enough to lure out the culinary guru.
00:20:44Don't worry, sir. We've reached Blake, the culinary guru's top apprentice.
00:20:49He'll be a judge, and there might be news about the chef soon.
00:20:55Vaughn, I made a new dish.
00:20:58Please take it to your boss.
00:21:00But you have to pay me before he eats it.
00:21:03Madam, the boss is busy with the culinary guru competition.
00:21:07He definitely won't be able to eat what you made.
00:21:09You're still looking for the culinary guru?
00:21:12Boss is tough to heal.
00:21:14Only the culinary guru can help.
00:21:16We're using the lost ancient recipe as the prize in the cook-off to lure him in.
00:21:20The lost ancient recipe?
00:21:22That's a great prize. My mentor will be so happy if I win it.
00:21:27You have a mentor?
00:21:31Don't worry, Alex. I will cure you and win the cooking competition.
00:21:36You want to participate in the cooking competition?
00:21:39All the top chefs from the nation will be there.
00:21:42You should just forget about it. You'll be crushed.
00:21:45Just let me try. I can do it.
00:21:47Fine. Just don't be too upset if you lose.
00:21:51I'll give her a consolation prize privately if necessary.
00:21:54Great. I will show you what I can do.
00:21:59Did you hear? The head apprentice of the culinary guru is coming to judge today.
00:22:05Yeah. I just came to catch a glimpse of the legendary head apprentice.
00:22:09I heard Alex is bringing his new wife.
00:22:12I wonder what kind of woman the picture is of.
00:22:14I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with.
00:22:19Alex's wife?
00:22:21That girl is just an ugly and unrefined country bumpkin.
00:22:26I can't believe Alex ended up with some broke and ugly chick.
00:22:31How sad. I guess that's what he gets for his eating issues.
00:22:39Look!
00:22:44She looks gorgeous.
00:22:47They are truly a match made in heaven.
00:22:50Alex doesn't look weak at all.
00:22:53I can't believe Ira is so full of herself now.
00:22:56Should I not have called off the engagement before?
00:22:59Don't be fooled by their courage.
00:23:02It's just a matter of time.
00:23:04It's just a matter of time.
00:23:06It's just a matter of time.
00:23:08It's just a matter of time.
00:23:10It's just a matter of time.
00:23:11Don't be fooled by their current glamour.
00:23:15I've heard Alex's condition is worsening.
00:23:18Otherwise he wouldn't be playing matchmaker for the culinary guru.
00:23:22Alex owns a food empire.
00:23:25If they could find culinary guru and cure him,
00:23:28it would only benefit that hick Ira.
00:23:31No way! I have to win Alex back.
00:23:35What's in those jars?
00:23:37Those are called spices.
00:23:40You're key to making gourmet dishes.
00:23:45You know nothing, country bumpkin.
00:23:48Oh, those are just flashy things.
00:23:51The most important part of real cuisine is to cook with the heart.
00:23:55It's how you bring out the ingredients as natural flavors.
00:23:58Despite her usual unreliable demeanor,
00:24:01she actually has her own insights about food.
00:24:04You clueless hick.
00:24:05You clueless hick.
00:24:07Don't pretend to know anything.
00:24:09There can only be one big winner tonight,
00:24:12and that's me.
00:24:14Ira's right.
00:24:16A chef who relies only on spices is a one-trick pony.
00:24:19I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
00:24:21Well, hold on. It's not that bad.
00:24:24You deserve to starve, Alex.
00:24:27And were it for the possibility of the culinary guru appearing to cure your illness,
00:24:31I wouldn't even consider taking you back.
00:24:45Master Blake!
00:24:47We all admire you greatly.
00:24:52Master Blake.
00:24:54Still no news of the culinary guru?
00:24:56My master's gone into seclusion with a junior apprentice
00:24:59and I have not been able to find out where he is.
00:25:02Blake!
00:25:03Hi, Ira.
00:25:05Long time no see. What are you doing here?
00:25:07How odd.
00:25:09The culinary guru's head apprentice knows this small-town girl?
00:25:14How do you two know each other?
00:25:18Mr. Blake, the competition's about to start. The host is calling for you.
00:25:24Alex, don't worry.
00:25:27I think I'll still find the whereabouts of the culinary guru.
00:25:33Of course I know him.
00:25:38Could happen. People meet every day.
00:25:42Ladies and gentlemen,
00:25:45today's winner will receive an ancient lost recipe
00:25:49and a vivid, fancy pink diamond from the Thompson family.
00:25:54The competition officially begins.
00:25:56There's only one rule.
00:25:58Whoever can get picky food critic Alex Thompson to eat their dish
00:26:02wins.
00:26:07What's wrong?
00:26:09The fish is spoiled.
00:26:11I suggest you back down now before you embarrass yourself even more.
00:26:16This fool has no idea it's me pulling the strings.
00:26:23Ira, you little beggar!
00:26:25Thief!
00:26:27Your fancy dishes don't even need tomatoes anyways.
00:26:32Hey buddy, got any leftovers?
00:26:35Just these.
00:26:36Perfect, I'll take them.
00:26:38Are you sure you want that trash?
00:26:49Hillbilly will never make it on the big stage.
00:26:53Pressure won't drive her crazy, right?
00:26:57What's she doing?
00:27:02I need a big pot.
00:27:05Sure, no problem.
00:27:08Behind you.
00:27:15What a unique cooking method.
00:27:19Ira, what are you doing?
00:27:21You're disgracing the Williams family.
00:27:25I've got more tricks up my sleeve, Ira.
00:27:28Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself.
00:27:30That country bumpkin can't possibly win against Miss Evelyn.
00:27:35Evelyn is a Michelin-starred chef.
00:27:38This hillbilly is just cannon fodder.
00:27:41Keep it down or you'll be asked to leave.
00:27:48I added a special ingredient.
00:27:50Laxative.
00:27:52Just wait until you're disqualified.
00:28:00Just as I thought.
00:28:02Good thing I have my mentor's secret recipe.
00:28:07Can't even handle the basics.
00:28:10Totally immature.
00:28:12Try not to poison the judges with that shit.
00:28:17What's she doing?
00:28:19No seasonings?
00:28:21Hilarious.
00:28:22She's out for sure.
00:28:24I'm going to go get a glass of water.
00:28:26Hilarious.
00:28:27She's out for sure.
00:28:33Awful.
00:28:34Trash.
00:28:36This is an assault on my senses.
00:28:40Could there be a twist?
00:28:42Is Alex going to taste it?
00:28:46Up next, Michelin-starred chef Evelyn Williams.
00:28:49Will this dish impress?
00:28:53Alex, you're in for a treat.
00:28:56Alex, this dish seems different.
00:28:59Seems like you're savouring it.
00:29:04Blech.
00:29:05Totally flavourless.
00:29:07It's like my taste buds were on a vacation.
00:29:09I'll forget this dish the moment that I'm finished with it.
00:29:12For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
00:29:16I'm going to go get a glass of water.
00:29:18Alex, you're in for a treat.
00:29:20I'll forget this dish the moment that I'm finished with it.
00:29:22For a chef, nothing is worse than being mediocre.
00:29:25Dizzy.
00:29:31Is 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.
00:29:44Zero presentation, zero appeal.
00:29:46This dish doesn't even warrant a critique.
00:29:49I really overestimated Ira.
00:29:51Looks like Alex isn't interested in Ira's dish either.
00:29:54Will our gourmand go home empty handed?
00:29:57You guys don't understand.
00:29:59My stew will be unforgettable after just one bite.
00:30:08Ira, stop.
00:30:10You're an embarrassment to the profession.
00:30:12What's that?
00:30:14This familiar allure?
00:30:16I even want to try this ugly dish.
00:30:19What's that?
00:30:21What's happening?
00:30:23Why am I tempted by this ugly food?
00:30:25If I eat this, I may lose my reputation as a foodie.
00:30:29But I really want to try it.
00:30:38Objection!
00:30:40Ira's mess of a dish is bringing down the competition.
00:30:43Host, disqualify her.
00:30:46Do you think what you made was good?
00:30:51Huh?
00:30:53Emergency!
00:30:55Contestant Ira's taste testing segment has been abruptly halted
00:30:58because our head judge, Alex, has fainted!
00:31:01Alex, are you okay?
00:31:03Ira, I'm sure this is somehow your fault.
00:31:05Get away!
00:31:11I honestly didn't even want to try that dish.
00:31:14Guess I'll just have to make it again for you sometime.
00:31:18How is the boss?
00:31:19His eating disorder is getting worse.
00:31:21We need a hospital now.
00:31:23The culinary battle championship winner is...
00:31:28Evelyn Williams!
00:31:36Just wait.
00:31:38I'll win Alex back.
00:31:43Alex, wake up!
00:31:45Hey.
00:31:47Cut it out with the cheek pinch.
00:31:49Alex, you're finally awake.
00:31:52We thought we'd lost you.
00:31:54Ira, were you worried about me?
00:31:56Ira might actually have a thing for me.
00:31:59Feels not bad.
00:32:01Boss, you were out a long time.
00:32:05Alex, where are your supplements?
00:32:08Are you even taking care of yourself?
00:32:10I'm fine.
00:32:12It's just a sudden hunger pang.
00:32:14My body couldn't keep up with my appetite.
00:32:16Don't give me that.
00:32:18It's only a culinary guru could make you eat.
00:32:22Well, actually, I made that dish.
00:32:25Who are you?
00:32:27Grandma, this is Ira Williams.
00:32:29She's my wife now.
00:32:31Wife?
00:32:33Someone who can actually tolerate your pickiness?
00:32:36Dear, can you really make something Alex will eat?
00:32:43Well, Alex is as picky as a toddler.
00:32:45I'd finally made something he was willing to try and then he fainted.
00:32:49Alex, you're so thin you could fit under a locked door.
00:32:53You're not looking healthy.
00:32:55Isn't he a handful?
00:32:57Alright, one more shot.
00:33:00The stew you made at the competition?
00:33:02Stay put. I'll cure you.
00:33:10What?
00:33:12Where's my seasonings?
00:33:13Easy there, Ira.
00:33:15You can still do it. It will just take a bit more time.
00:33:20Ma'am, the boss has fainted again.
00:33:22When's the dish ready?
00:33:25Again? Seriously?
00:33:27One sec.
00:33:29Strange. Hearing that Alex fainted made me cut my finger.
00:33:36It's just a little boo-boo.
00:33:38Who needs the culinary guru?
00:33:40Hang tight, Alex.
00:33:43I brought you the stew.
00:33:48Ira, you're late.
00:33:50Alex had my dish and is back on his feet.
00:33:53Oh, really?
00:33:55The dish that made him faint at the competition?
00:33:57I gotta try it.
00:34:00Alex, you did eat my stuff, right?
00:34:03Yeah, thanks for that.
00:34:07Ira, get over here.
00:34:09Hey, what happened to your hand?
00:34:11So you do care, Alex?
00:34:13No, it's not like that.
00:34:15Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew.
00:34:17I don't want blood in my food.
00:34:19Forget that old stew.
00:34:21I'll take care of you.
00:34:23And I can fix your eating problem.
00:34:25Only food from the culinary guru counts.
00:34:27Everything else is trash.
00:34:29You...
00:34:30Hey, I can pay.
00:34:32I'm not after money.
00:34:34If Alex can eat my food,
00:34:36then I'm the best choice to be his wife.
00:34:38Ditch Ira.
00:34:39Ditch Ira?
00:34:41Then let's get married.
00:34:43Marrying Alex means all his money is mine.
00:34:46Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex.
00:34:49That fortune is mine.
00:34:51Do you really want to be with someone after your cash?
00:34:54Not your business.
00:34:58Lauren, give me a band-aid.
00:35:05Alex promised to share his inheritance with me.
00:35:09Do it yourself.
00:35:13Hello?
00:35:15Hello, my dear apprentice.
00:35:17I just got my phone and called you.
00:35:19How are you?
00:35:21I miss you, my dear.
00:35:23I thought I might come for a visit.
00:35:25Awesome.
00:35:27My mentor is coming to visit.
00:35:29Robert, I need backup.
00:35:31I married this rich guy, Alex Thompson,
00:35:33and now my stepsister is after him and his money.
00:35:35What are you talking about?
00:35:37I'm not after money.
00:35:39If you talk about me,
00:35:41your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole.
00:35:43Why do you care what he thinks?
00:35:45Maybe you should worry about your own problems.
00:35:50Alex, great news.
00:35:52Your appetite issues are about to be fixed.
00:35:54With me taking care of your meals,
00:35:56you'll be fine.
00:35:58Is her cooking skill really better than Ira?
00:36:00Actually, it's culinary guru.
00:36:02Really?
00:36:04Where is he?
00:36:06I've contacted master.
00:36:07I need to win Alex over
00:36:09before he arrives.
00:36:12She hung up on me.
00:36:14I tell you, that Ira is getting way out of line.
00:36:16Wait a minute.
00:36:18Isn't Alex Thompson the CEO
00:36:20with the eating disorder
00:36:22that Blake asked me to treat?
00:36:34Oh, my dear.
00:36:36Oh, my dear apprentice.
00:36:38I'm on my way.
00:36:41They think they can kick me to the curb
00:36:43just because they found the culinary guru?
00:36:49Where did Ira get this stuff anyway?
00:36:51It actually got Alex to eat my food.
00:36:55But it's mine now.
00:36:58Once Alex drinks this love potion,
00:37:00he's all mine.
00:37:06Try my soup while it's still hot.
00:37:12How's it with the culinary guru?
00:37:14Could this seasoning be linked
00:37:16to the culinary guru?
00:37:18It's Ira's shit.
00:37:20That's a stretch.
00:37:22I could get used to it.
00:37:24Since you could finally eat,
00:37:26let me feed you.
00:37:28I got this, thanks.
00:37:30Come on, don't push me away.
00:37:32What's wrong with you?
00:37:34And why is it so hot?
00:37:36Get in here.
00:37:38Seriously, Evelyn, get off.
00:37:40Feeling warm?
00:37:42Let me help.
00:37:44Alex, something's off with the culinary guru.
00:37:47What are you doing here?
00:37:49This is how you help?
00:37:55I gotta see this.
00:38:01Get lost.
00:38:06Feeling better already, huh?
00:38:08She calls that help
00:38:10and you just watched me get groped.
00:38:21My heart.
00:38:23Am I sick too?
00:38:25Alex, you're burning up.
00:38:27Can I help?
00:38:29Yeah, I could use your help.
00:38:30Hey, what the hell?
00:38:32Well, you were overheating.
00:38:34You must have a fever.
00:38:36I thought it might cool you down.
00:38:38Did it work?
00:38:40Ira, you were such a dork.
00:38:44Dammit, Ira, you ruined my game.
00:38:46Seriously, you're such an idiot.
00:38:48You too, John?
00:38:50I'm sorry.
00:38:52I'm sorry.
00:38:54I'm sorry.
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:58I'm sorry.
00:39:00Alex, guess what?
00:39:02I met the culinary guru.
00:39:04He thinks I'm a prodigy and wants to take me on as his apprentice.
00:39:07If my master listens to me,
00:39:09I would make the right choice.
00:39:11Are you threatening me?
00:39:13With an apprentice like you,
00:39:15that culinary guru must be a joke.
00:39:17If I don't sweet talk Alex into marrying me,
00:39:19I'll miss my shot when the culinary guru shows up.
00:39:22Alex, marry me
00:39:24and I'll make sure the culinary guru cures you.
00:39:26Not a chance.
00:39:28Is Ira finally waking up?
00:39:30Wait.
00:39:32Alex tossed your dish at the competition.
00:39:34What's your secret to getting him to eat it now?
00:39:39The seasoning Alex could eat,
00:39:41that was the one Ira left behind at the culinary guru contest.
00:39:44Could it be?
00:39:46She's his apprentice!
00:39:48Ira, what's your connection to the culinary guru?
00:39:51Why do you keep asking me that?
00:39:53I don't know any culinary guru.
00:39:55So Ira really is the culinary guru's apprentice
00:39:58and she doesn't even realize it.
00:40:00Well, maybe I can put that to use.
00:40:02Alex, how long can you wait?
00:40:04Don't you care about your health?
00:40:06Hands off the inheritance.
00:40:10Who's picking on my apprentice?
00:40:12Is that her mentor?
00:40:14Mentor?
00:40:16This be culinary guru?
00:40:18Robert, you're here!
00:40:20Great to see you, kid.
00:40:22I've missed you tons.
00:40:28Nice digs you got here, kid.
00:40:30You landed a top-tier husband, didn't you?
00:40:32I can't believe you're finally here.
00:40:34I've missed you heaps.
00:40:36The culinary guru is here.
00:40:39Everyone, meet chef Robert McFonbey.
00:40:42This guy?
00:40:44No way he's the world-famous culinary guru.
00:40:46He's as basic as Ira.
00:40:48Ira, bringing in some random grandpa
00:40:50just drags down Alex's reputation.
00:40:53Shut the fuck up, Evelyn.
00:40:55Don't insult my mentor.
00:40:57Let this queen twat yap.
00:41:00This is her only talent.
00:41:02Who are you calling twat?
00:41:04Old coon?
00:41:06I am the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:41:09One phone call and I'll snuff you both out.
00:41:12The culinary guru's apprentice?
00:41:15Funny.
00:41:17Never heard of you.
00:41:21Please.
00:41:23People like you from the middle of nowhere
00:41:25wouldn't know a celebrity
00:41:27if you sat down right in front of me.
00:41:28Enough, Evelyn.
00:41:30Apologize to my mentor.
00:41:32What's so funny, old coot?
00:41:35You say you're the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:41:38Why not prove it?
00:41:40With a cook-off with my apprentice.
00:41:44I just won the culinary championship.
00:41:47Why would I be scared of you, Ira?
00:41:50Last time you already lost.
00:41:52I was out last time,
00:41:54so that doesn't prove that Ira lost to you.
00:41:57Evelyn, I'm tired of your attitude.
00:42:00Threatening Alex with your cooking.
00:42:02Let's just see who's dish he actually wants to taste.
00:42:04Ira, get real.
00:42:06If Alex could stomach your food,
00:42:08he would have by now.
00:42:10We'll see.
00:42:18With my secret sauce,
00:42:20let's see you stand a chance, Ira.
00:42:23Now why does she have my special blend in her hand?
00:42:25Oh, no.
00:42:27Your fish, it's burning.
00:42:29What?
00:42:35You sly old man.
00:42:38Learn from me and you might succeed.
00:42:40Copy me and you're going down.
00:42:42Let's see you beat Ira now
00:42:44without my special blend.
00:42:49Alex will love this little kid food.
00:42:51Alex will love this little kid food.
00:42:54Burn, baby, burn.
00:42:57All set.
00:42:59Just need my turkey.
00:43:05What the hell?
00:43:07Burnt?
00:43:09No time to fix this now.
00:43:14Come at me, sis.
00:43:16You're always going to lose.
00:43:21You have to try my dish.
00:43:24Where's Ira?
00:43:26I'm not hungry yet.
00:43:28I'll wait for her food.
00:43:30My sole is going to get cold, Alex.
00:43:33Why wait your stomach for Ira?
00:43:37What's taking her so long?
00:43:40What's going on, ma'am?
00:43:42Look, she has nothing, Alex.
00:43:45Looks like she's ready to throw in the towel.
00:43:47Ira?
00:43:48What's going on?
00:43:50Given to you?
00:43:52Not a chance.
00:43:55Didn't even finish a dish
00:43:57and she's still talking big.
00:43:59Face it, Alex.
00:44:01She's all talk.
00:44:03Not marriage material.
00:44:05Who says I didn't finish?
00:44:07Just...
00:44:08What?
00:44:10Just hold your horses.
00:44:12Stop stalling, Ira.
00:44:14You miss the deadline, you lose.
00:44:16I'm the last one.
00:44:18I'm the one who deserves that ring.
00:44:20Alex, you're not actually buying this, right?
00:44:23Ira, when did I ever say...
00:44:25Just...
00:44:27Alex, just try this.
00:44:29When I win, Ira's out
00:44:31and the title's mine for good.
00:44:33Go on, Alex, dig in.
00:44:35Let's hear the verdict.
00:44:45Hey, you good, boss?
00:44:48That is the worst slop I have ever tasted.
00:44:52What the hell?
00:44:54What did you put in that?
00:44:56It's triggering his eating disorder.
00:44:58Impossible.
00:44:59My spices are perfect.
00:45:01Someone must have messed with them.
00:45:03Evelyn, really?
00:45:05You're calling this yours?
00:45:07That's mine.
00:45:09I couldn't find it at the competition.
00:45:11So you took it.
00:45:14Evelyn, really?
00:45:16This is ours.
00:45:18Alex, you have to believe me.
00:45:20Vaughn, kick her out.
00:45:22Alex, just give me one more shot.
00:45:24I can whip him something amazing.
00:45:26Get lost.
00:45:28This can't be happening.
00:45:36Get that away from me.
00:45:38I can't even handle a protein shake right now.
00:45:4425 Oak Street.
00:45:46Yes, we have an emergency.
00:45:48Chronic eating disorder.
00:45:50Yes, we need help right away.
00:45:52Hang tight. My dish is almost done.
00:45:54I guess I'm doomed to starve as a foodie.
00:45:58Only the culinary guru gets me.
00:46:00So if the culinary guru doesn't show,
00:46:03you're off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
00:46:10You know, Irish cooking has certainly surpassed mine.
00:46:13You gotta try it. It's a flavor journey, man.
00:46:15I can't trust anyone anymore.
00:46:16Eating garbage every day.
00:46:18Just take me now.
00:46:23Alex, since you wanted a divorce,
00:46:25shall we figure out what happens next?
00:46:27Who talked about a divorce?
00:46:29I'm on my last legs here.
00:46:31Couldn't you at least comfort me?
00:46:33Weird.
00:46:35I kinda don't like seeing Alex like this.
00:46:38What's that noise?
00:46:41No need for the hospital.
00:46:43My roast chicken is ready.
00:46:44My roast chicken is ready.
00:46:54Here, Alex. Chow down.
00:46:58Guess your fortune is mine.
00:47:00Forget about him, Myra. Let's dig in.
00:47:04Man, that smells amazing.
00:47:06Try a piece.
00:47:09Bugger.
00:47:11It's so sad my boss can't eat anything.
00:47:14Here.
00:47:20Boss, this is the best food ever.
00:47:22You really gotta try some. Please.
00:47:24Told you.
00:47:26Irish got skills.
00:47:28You can talk all you want.
00:47:30This world's food has burned me too many times.
00:47:32I've told Alex my cooking could cure him.
00:47:34Do all husbands not trust their wives?
00:47:36Maybe I just need a normal guy.
00:47:38Well, what are you after?
00:47:40A pretty boy? A handsome guy?
00:47:42I've got connections.
00:47:44Oh.
00:47:46Well, look who the cat dragged in.
00:47:50How was heaven treating you?
00:47:56Fine.
00:47:58One more shot.
00:48:00But remember, I'm a food critic.
00:48:02I'll be keeping it real.
00:48:04No sugar.
00:48:07If you want some, help yourself.
00:48:10What are you waiting for, a butler?
00:48:14Come on.
00:48:27What?
00:48:29Ira's cooking is even better than the culinary guru.
00:48:32Boss is eating.
00:48:34I've gotta tell Lady Linda.
00:48:36Ira.
00:48:38What is your connection to the culinary guru?
00:48:40Why do you keep asking that?
00:48:42I don't know a culinary guru.
00:48:44He's probably just a scammer.
00:48:51Get over it already.
00:48:53But that box you made was just like the culinary guru.
00:48:57And your dish, Ira, even I, a top critic, I gotta admit.
00:49:02It's legit.
00:49:04Well, Robert made that one.
00:49:10Yeah.
00:49:12Sorry, I forgot to say.
00:49:14I'm the one everyone's been talking about.
00:49:16I'm the culinary guru.
00:49:21What?
00:49:23And Ira here, my apprentice, is already better than I am.
00:49:33Why didn't you tell us sooner?
00:49:35Alex wouldn't have been sick this entire time.
00:49:38Ira.
00:49:40I didn't know you actually cared about me.
00:49:42Well, you're such a picky eater, you had me believing that my cooking needed some serious work.
00:49:48So you've just been cooking for me to test your skills, huh?
00:49:56Boss!
00:49:58You're eating again!
00:50:00We're in the clear for the food court project.
00:50:04Alex, I whipped up a new dish.
00:50:06You gotta try it.
00:50:08Another review session?
00:50:10As your test subject.
00:50:11You know, I have my pride too.
00:50:13Why are you acting so serious?
00:50:19What's this mess?
00:50:23You know I'm a bit of an eat freak.
00:50:26So, other than cooking, do you have any big dreams?
00:50:30I sure do!
00:50:41I need to save my dinner from burning.
00:50:47Life's better when you can actually eat.
00:50:57Why is my face so hot?
00:51:11Oh crap, I ruined it!
00:51:14My first time messing up a dish and it's all Alex's fault?
00:51:18I must be cursed.
00:51:20No way, I'm out of here.
00:51:23Oh, I love this suit, it's so nice.
00:51:32Alex, since you're feeling better, I'm out of here.
00:51:34Alex, since you're feeling better, I'm out of here.
00:51:41So who's this?
00:51:45Hi, I'm Dina.
00:51:47Ira, you said you were leaving?
00:51:49You know what?
00:51:51I might stick around.
00:51:53Ira, what's the hurry?
00:51:55Grandma, Alex is downstairs chatting with some girl.
00:52:00Yeah.
00:52:03Alex, I've missed you all these years.
00:52:06Oh really?
00:52:08I don't believe it.
00:52:10Grandma, who is she?
00:52:12I don't buy it either.
00:52:14She's just acting sweet.
00:52:16I don't believe it.
00:52:18I don't buy it either.
00:52:20She's just acting sweet.
00:52:21She's just acting sweet.
00:52:23She's Alex's first crush.
00:52:25The one that left him to study abroad.
00:52:28Without a thought.
00:52:30Dina, didn't you swear you were done with this place?
00:52:39Alex, I've missed you all these years.
00:52:42I came back because my heart belongs to you.
00:52:45Looks like Ira's catching feelings for Alex.
00:52:48I know I blew it before.
00:52:51I put my plans before us.
00:52:53And threw away everything that we had.
00:52:55But I'm here.
00:52:57I'm willing to throw away all my pride.
00:52:59Whatever it takes.
00:53:01Just say I'll give it one more chance.
00:53:03Dina, you left him with nothing but a letter.
00:53:05I was lost trying to make sense of it for so long.
00:53:08And now you're back.
00:53:10What's the point?
00:53:12Alex, I came back for us.
00:53:14I've never forgotten about us.
00:53:16After all these years, I know you still feel it too.
00:53:20You haven't forgotten what we had.
00:53:23Let's just give it another shot.
00:53:34Aren't you hungry, Alex?
00:53:36Let's go.
00:53:38Alex!
00:53:39Dina, I'm married now.
00:53:41Just go.
00:53:46Oh!
00:53:48Oh, my ankle! I twisted it!
00:53:51You okay?
00:53:52I twisted it. It hurts.
00:53:54Oh, Alex.
00:53:56Put 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.
00:54:07Ira's acting all weird.
00:54:10Is she finally feeling jealous?
00:54:16Oh!
00:54:19No, Frank. She's totally faking it.
00:54:27Ow! Easy! You're crushing me!
00:54:30Oh, you're fine.
00:54:32But this time, I'm going to make sure it really hurts.
00:54:35Ow!
00:54:42Ira! Where are you going?
00:54:46Ira, you look like you lost your puppy.
00:54:49Alex's ex is back in town.
00:54:53Better keep your eye out.
00:54:55Alex is my husband.
00:54:57I'm not letting anyone take his fortune.
00:54:59Yeah, where a guy's heart goes, the wallet soon follows.
00:55:02Well, then I'll make sure Alex loves me.
00:55:04Hmm.
00:55:06You've got your work cut out for you.
00:55:08Body, she's got your beat.
00:55:10Looks?
00:55:12She's classy. You're comfy.
00:55:13She's got her degree.
00:55:15You're still learning.
00:55:17Personality, she's sweet.
00:55:20You're...
00:55:22hungry.
00:55:24Don't forget she's Alex's first love.
00:55:26Guys, don't forget that.
00:55:29Well, crap.
00:55:31I guess I don't stand a chance.
00:55:33Well, you've got one ace up your sleeve.
00:55:36You were there for him
00:55:38and helped him through his
00:55:40eating disorders.
00:55:41You were there when he needed you.
00:55:44I've got to cook something good.
00:55:46There's no way I'm letting go of that fortune.
00:55:50Hmm.
00:55:52Poor kid.
00:55:54She's kind of bad and doesn't even know it.
00:55:56Thinks it's all about the cash.
00:56:01Really?
00:56:03No second chance for me?
00:56:05Gina,
00:56:07I'm taking.
00:56:09Take care.
00:56:11Bye.
00:56:18Hi, it's Ira.
00:56:20Sorry I missed your call.
00:56:22Leave a message.
00:56:24Where's Ira?
00:56:26She's dodging my calls.
00:56:28That must be Ira.
00:56:30Time to see if she's jealous.
00:56:37Got it, Alex.
00:56:39I'll be leaving tomorrow.
00:56:41It's a farewell.
00:56:43Cheers to your next chapter.
00:56:57Are you alright?
00:56:59Here, let me help you.
00:57:01Oh, Alex.
00:57:03We have so much to catch up on
00:57:05after all this time.
00:57:08Alex,
00:57:10you have to try my new dish.
00:57:20Alex,
00:57:22Ira left because she's in a bad mood.
00:57:24I don't think she's in a bad mood.
00:57:26I don't think she's in a bad mood.
00:57:28I don't think she's in a bad mood.
00:57:29Alex, 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?
00:57:43You drugged my drink.
00:57:45That's low, even for you.
00:57:47Alex, no. Come on.
00:57:49Get off.
00:57:52You're gonna regret this.
00:57:59Stephen,
00:58:01the chef's apprentice is out.
00:58:03You're halfway to taking the food court project.
00:58:06Well done, Gina.
00:58:08Alex,
00:58:10remember when you trashed Snow
00:58:12for using garbage ingredients?
00:58:14This time,
00:58:16I'm gonna wipe the floor with you
00:58:18and show you how wrong you were.
00:58:20We need top quality ingredients
00:58:22for this project or...
00:58:24I got it.
00:58:26Oh, you reminded me of something
00:58:27about that massive culinary grower.
00:58:29Gallants has got his own head chefs.
00:58:31Come on back.
00:58:33I'll poach them all and leave him with nothing to fight back.
00:58:35Once we snag the food court project,
00:58:37I'll get my share, right?
00:58:39Absolutely.
00:58:41Okay, good.
00:58:44Alex,
00:58:46I gave you a chance.
00:58:48This is all on you.
00:58:57She blocked me.
00:58:59What is she, a teenager?
00:59:02Boss?
00:59:04We've got a problem.
00:59:06That 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.
00:59:12Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
00:59:15Okay.
00:59:17Get on it.
00:59:19Find us a new chef before the bidding meeting.
00:59:21Hot off the press.
00:59:23KL's group's top chefs
00:59:25have flocked over to Stephen's snow group
00:59:27leaving little doubt about who will win
00:59:29next week's food city project.
00:59:31Could this be the beginning of the end for KL group?
00:59:33Oh,
00:59:35man, Alex is in trouble.
00:59:37So what?
00:59:39He has Gina now, doesn't he?
00:59:41Yeah, I guess.
00:59:43Alex is yesterday's news.
00:59:45I'm going to go cook.
00:59:47I'm going to go cook.
00:59:48Alex is yesterday's news.
00:59:50I'm going to go cook.
00:59:55Is it really that bad?
00:59:57Are you thinking about helping Alex?
00:59:59No.
01:00:05After the judges voting,
01:00:07the finalists for the food city bidding competition are
01:00:09KL group and
01:00:11snow group.
01:00:15All right, folks,
01:00:16it's time for round two
01:00:18where we invite our star,
01:00:20Michelin starred chefs to the plate
01:00:22to create their magnum opuses.
01:00:24Let's get things started with snow group.
01:00:26Please 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
01:00:46just a little trick to separate you
01:00:48from your precious apprentice.
01:00:50Alex,
01:00:52I gave you a chance.
01:00:56When you told everybody
01:00:58that my company uses inferior ingredients,
01:01:00I swore I was going to bring you down.
01:01:03Your character is just like your ingredients,
01:01:05rotten on the inside and out.
01:01:09Keep talking tough, Alex.
01:01:11But where are you now?
01:01:13No head chef,
01:01:15no culinary genius.
01:01:17I'm going to snatch that project
01:01:19you've been drooling over
01:01:21and then I'm going to watch
01:01:23KL group crumble.
01:01:27Ladies and gentlemen,
01:01:29now we have the lovely Ms. Gina
01:01:31ready to present her dish.
01:01:33KL group,
01:01:35it's your turn to step up.
01:01:37What's going on?
01:01:39Why is there nobody on Alex's side?
01:01:41It looks like they're ready to wave the white flag.
01:01:42Folks,
01:01:44now I'm going to have to call the chef
01:01:46from the bar over here.
01:01:48Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
01:01:50Even if you squeak by the first round,
01:01:52you've got no one for the second.
01:01:58She's got me all wrong.
01:02:00I don't think she's coming back.
01:02:02This misunderstanding is too deep.
01:02:04Since we have no one
01:02:06from KL group to compete,
01:02:08I hereby announce that the winner is
01:02:10Snow!
01:02:11Alex,
01:02:13I'm back.
01:02:18What's the score?
01:02:20We're toast.
01:02:22I thought Gina was your ace.
01:02:24I guess she's not cutting it, huh?
01:02:26It's not like that with her and me.
01:02:28And Gina's representing Stephen in this competition.
01:02:30So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
01:02:32Ira,
01:02:34nothing happened with her.
01:02:36I will represent the KL group.
01:02:38I'll take Gina on myself.
01:02:40Aren't we expecting to see
01:02:42Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
01:02:44Are you really in that league?
01:02:46No, I'm not.
01:02:48How can she compete
01:02:50when she doesn't have any credentials?
01:02:52Especially against Gina.
01:02:54She has royal chef status.
01:02:56Royal chef?
01:02:58Never heard of it.
01:03:00I was trained by the culinary guru,
01:03:02though, if that means anything.
01:03:04Look at the culinary guru
01:03:06who hasn't been around for ages.
01:03:08And besides,
01:03:10Gina, she trained with the sea guru, Robert.
01:03:13She said she trained with them?
01:03:15I mean, what?
01:03:17Wait, you're the culinary guru's apprentice?
01:03:22So Stephen stole all of Alex's chefs.
01:03:26Well, I may not be Michelin-starred status,
01:03:28but I have what it takes
01:03:30to represent the KL group.
01:03:32Why do you think you can represent KL?
01:03:34Because I'm his wife.
01:03:36That's why.
01:03:38Ira, you're a life saver.
01:03:40Let's see what you cook up.
01:03:44I'll give it a try
01:03:46and we'll see who takes the crown.
01:03:49And who are you, old man?
01:03:51What makes you think you're in charge here?
01:03:53He's Alan Dukas,
01:03:55president of the DuPont Group,
01:03:57the project's big cheese.
01:04:02Oh, he's definitely the one with the final say.
01:04:07Sir, this is the dish from Snow.
01:04:10Mm-hmm.
01:04:13Rich and aromatic.
01:04:16Like you're basking in a warm Mediterranean sun.
01:04:20I created this with the combined efforts
01:04:23of three top chefs.
01:04:25So good luck beating that, Ira.
01:04:27You may be the culinary guru's apprentice,
01:04:29but that doesn't mean that you can outshine
01:04:31the work of four of us combined.
01:04:33Seriously.
01:04:35You think you can compete
01:04:37with something so simple and rough?
01:04:40This is what the culinary guru's apprentice comes up with?
01:04:44It's so inelegant.
01:04:46You don't understand.
01:04:48A chef who can't cook with pure ingredients
01:04:50will never make the best food.
01:04:54Ira's right.
01:04:56A chef who relies only on spices
01:04:58is a one-trick pony.
01:05:00I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
01:05:01I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
01:05:13What's up with Alan?
01:05:15Why isn't he saying anything?
01:05:17Do you think the stuff is that bad?
01:05:19It must be terrible.
01:05:21Mr. Alan's in tears.
01:05:23No one asked your opinion.
01:05:25Mr. Alan, how does it taste?
01:05:26My dream, since I was young,
01:05:28was to taste the best food in the world.
01:05:30I never guessed I would do it today.
01:05:32I've waited 30 years for this dish.
01:05:34I declare the KL Group,
01:05:36led by Alex,
01:05:38winner.
01:05:40This isn't fair!
01:05:42I used the best, most expensive ingredients
01:05:44for my dish.
01:05:46How can plain scrambled eggs beat that?
01:05:48If all they care about
01:05:50is chasing fancy and extravagant,
01:05:52that is not what the three of us are.
01:05:54If all they care about
01:05:56is chasing fancy and extravagant,
01:05:58that is not what the project needs.
01:06:00Snow Group doesn't cut it.
01:06:02Just wait, Alex.
01:06:04I'm gonna make you pay!
01:06:06Ira, you crushed it.
01:06:08Food City Project is ours.
01:06:10I told you I could do it.
01:06:12Miss Ira,
01:06:14I have to know,
01:06:16what were you thinking
01:06:18while you were whipping those eggs
01:06:20that came so delicious?
01:06:22I guess I was just thinking about
01:06:24Miss Ira.
01:06:26Sounds like you
01:06:28have it for that person.
01:06:40Alex, you promised me a surprise.
01:06:43What is it?
01:06:45Ira,
01:06:47thanks for everything in this competition.
01:06:49This is a family heirloom
01:06:51meant for Mrs. Thompson.
01:06:52So, Ira,
01:06:54will you be mine
01:06:56forever?
01:07:03Stay forever?
01:07:05That sounds boring.
01:07:07I haven't even explored the world yet.
01:07:09Guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
01:07:15Ira, do you not get it?
01:07:17Or are you just messing with me?
01:07:18Hey, Alex, what's up?
01:07:20You called for me?
01:07:22I have two gifts for you.
01:07:26Here's a card
01:07:28with half my fortune.
01:07:30Take it as a thank you.
01:07:34Alex, you're the best.
01:07:36I love cash.
01:07:38Now I can buy all the ingredients I want
01:07:40and travel anywhere.
01:07:42Ira,
01:07:44I like you.
01:07:46I want to take our relationship
01:07:48to the next level.
01:07:50What do you think?
01:07:52How do you feel about me?
01:07:55You certainly have the money
01:07:57and you let me prove my cooking abilities.
01:07:59You really have made
01:08:01all my dreams come true.
01:08:03Ira,
01:08:05you want out, right?
01:08:07I'll give you the money
01:08:09and the freedom you want.
01:08:11Here's a divorce agreement.
01:08:13Let's end this.
01:08:14Let's end this.
01:08:24Ira,
01:08:26sign 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.
01:08:44What does Alex mean?
01:08:53Why can't I stop thinking about him?
01:09:01Why was I thinking about Alex all night?
01:09:03Alex seemed off yesterday.
01:09:05Maybe I should cheer him up
01:09:07when I see him.
01:09:09Oh crap,
01:09:11I never signed the divorce papers.
01:09:12How do I bring that up?
01:09:18Where's Alex?
01:09:20It feels weird not seeing him around.
01:09:24Hey.
01:09:25Grandma, where's Alex?
01:09:27Oh Alex, he's at the airport
01:09:29about to jet off.
01:09:31Congrats, honey.
01:09:33You'll finally be free.
01:09:35No more Alex to nag you.
01:09:37What?
01:09:42Boss, the plane is boarding.
01:09:44Looks like she's not coming.
01:09:46She didn't even bother to show up.
01:09:50Like I care.
01:09:52Vaughn,
01:09:54let's go home.
01:09:58Alex!
01:10:04I can't stand the thought of losing you.
01:10:08Ira,
01:10:10if I stay,
01:10:12you'll end up leaving.
01:10:13You want your freedom
01:10:14and you don't love me.
01:10:16I can't be selfish
01:10:17and keep you trapped in this marriage.
01:10:19I don't want you to leave.
01:10:21Why not?
01:10:22Because,
01:10:24because when I'm not with you,
01:10:26you're all I think about.
01:10:28Alex,
01:10:30you asked me how I felt
01:10:32and I finally know.
01:10:34I love you.
01:10:40Ira,
01:10:44I love you too.
01:10:56I'm not signing this.
01:10:58That's not real, it doesn't matter.
01:11:00Huh?
01:11:10Hi.
01:11:31Mmm, nailed it.
01:11:33Oh, that smells great.
01:11:36It's a flavor bomb.
01:11:37Ira's cooking is always the best.
01:11:40Mmm.
01:11:43Nice.
01:11:44Oh my gosh, so good.
01:11:45Thanks, Ira.
01:11:46Of course.
01:11:51My blue lobster!
01:11:53My gourmet tuna!
01:11:55My treasures!
01:11:56Chef McFlambé,
01:11:57what's wrong?
01:11:58You used
01:11:59all
01:12:00my top shelf shit?
01:12:02Well, why let the primo ingredients
01:12:03go to waste, you know?
01:12:05We're done.
01:12:06We're like a diet soda
01:12:07at a barbecue,
01:12:08completely 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
01:12:15and walked away with a ton
01:12:16of easy cash.
01:12:19That's illegal.
01:12:20We don't go from chef
01:12:21to criminal.
01:12:23What's next, a recipe
01:12:24for jailhouse bread?
01:12:26Well, then how do we make money?
01:12:28Your cooking skills
01:12:29have surpassed mine.
01:12:31You could go down the mountain
01:12:32and make some cash
01:12:34and there are endless
01:12:35ingredients down there
01:12:36so you'll really shine.
01:12:39I'll be a world famous chef.
01:12:54Watch out, world.
01:12:55Here I come.
01:12:59Vaughn has the prep
01:13:00for the culinary
01:13:01competition coming.
01:13:06Eating anorexia is so bad.
01:13:08Ugh.
01:13:13We have to find
01:13:14the culinary guru this time.
