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 nodrum.
00:14:02Oh, come on.
00:14:04I don't have it right now.
00:14:06What?
00:14:08I've been trying to get it.
00:14:10I got it.
00:14:12It's in my wallet.
00:14:14Come on, man, open the door.
00:14:16No, what about it?
00:14:23No.
00:14:25Oh, come on.
00:14:27liquid nutrients.
00:14:29Oh.
00:14:37Oh, protein shakes are gone.
00:14:40I'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.
00:15:54Ugh.
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?
00:16:24Huh?
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.
00:16:55What a strange guy.
00:17:04Good night, Alex.
00:17:14She's not gonna wake up.
00:17:16She's not gonna wake up.
00:17:17She's not gonna wake up.
00:17:19She's not gonna wake up.
00:17:24She's actually quite pretty when she's not being so noisy.
00:17:48How dare you take advantage of me like that?
00:17:50What the heck was that for?
00:17:55Is it too late to apologize?
00:17:57Oh, get out!
00:18:05Are you mad?
00:18:10My signature crab cakes
00:18:11are the ultimate cure for picky eaters.
00:18:14This will be 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!
00:18:51What are you doing?
00:18:57Boss, 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?
00:19:09How dare you treat my wife like that?
00:19:12I'm so sorry, I didn't realize she was your wife.
00:19:16Please forgive me.
00:19:17Thyra, what do you think?
00:19:19I demand compensation.
00:19:20Those ingredients were extremely rare.
00:19:22I hiked a mountain to get them.
00:19:26What's going on?
00:19:28I actually have an appetite for this stuff.
00:19:32All crab cakes should be pretty much the same.
00:19:35What 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.
00:19:46You're fired.
00:19:50Wait, she needs to pay me.
00:19:58Thanks Alex, I'll spend it well.
00:20:01Whoa, hold up.
00:20:03You were supposed to bring me food.
00:20:04Well, yeah, but it's gone now.
00:20:06That's it?
00:20:07You don't have anything else to say?
00:20:08Like, are you not even gonna check if I'm breathing?
00:20:13Are 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 chopping.
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.
00:22:09I wonder what kind of woman the picky CEO ended up with.
00:22:14Alex's wife?
00:22:16That girl is just an ugly and unrefined country bumpkin.
00:22:20I can't believe Alex ended up
00:22:21with some broke and ugly chick.
00:22:25How sad.
00:22:27I guess that's what he gets for his eating issues.
00:22:33Look!
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 glamour.
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.
00:24:06Ira'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.
00:24:17You deserve to starve, Alex.
00:24:19And 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.
00:24:28Come with me.
00:24:40Master Blake?
00:24:41We 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.
00:26:47The pressure 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 until 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.
00:28:13Can'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 Evelyn Williams.
00:28:43Will this dish impress?
00:28:47Alex, you're in for a treat.
00:28:59Alex,
00:29:01this 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.
00:29:21I'm dizzy.
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,
00:29:33stuff?
00:29:35Chaotic stew.
00:29:37Zero presentation, zero appeal.
00:29:39This dish doesn't even warrant
00:29:41a critique.
00:29:43I really overestimated Ira.
00:29:45Looks like Alex isn't interested
00:29:47in Ira's dish either.
00:29:49Will our gourmand go home empty-handed?
00:29:51You guys don't understand.
00:29:53My stew will be unforgettable
00:29:55after 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 ugly
00:30:13dish.
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.
00:30:25Objection!
00:30:27Ira's mess of a dish
00:30:29is bringing down the competition.
00:30:31Post, disqualify her.
00:30:33Do you think what you made
00:30:35was good?
00:30:41Huh?
00:30:43Emergency!
00:30:45Contestant Ira's taste-testing segment
00:30:47has been abruptly halted because our head judge
00:30:49Alex has fainted!
00:30:51What?
00:30:53Our 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!
00:31:05I honestly didn't even want
00:31:07to try that dish.
00:31:09Guess I'll just have to make it again for you sometime.
00:31:13How is the boss?
00:31:15His eating disorder is getting worse. We need a hospital now.
00:31:19The Culinary Battle Championship
00:31:21winner is...
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, you were out
00:31:57a long time.
00:31:59Alex, where are your
00:32:01supplements? 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. With those
00:32:11bloody standards, only a culinary guru
00:32:13could make you eat.
00:32:15Well, actually, I made
00:32:17that 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
00:32:33will 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
00:32:53shot. The stew you made at the
00:32:55competition? Stay 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
00:33:11time.
00:33:13No!
00:33:15The boss has fainted again! When's the dish ready?
00:33:19Again? Seriously?
00:33:21One sec.
00:33:23Strange. Hearing that Alex
00:33:25fainted made me cut my finger.
00:33:29It's just a little
00:33:31lubu. Who needs the culinary guru?
00:33:33Hang tight, Alex.
00:33:35I brought you the stew.
00:33:39Ira, you're late.
00:33:41Alex had my dish
00:33:43and is back on his feet.
00:33:45Oh, really?
00:33:47The dish that made him faint at the competition?
00:33:49I gotta try it.
00:33:53Alex, you did eat my stuff, right?
00:33:55Yeah.
00:33:57Thanks for that.
00:33:59Ira, get over here.
00:34:01Nope.
00:34:03Hey, what happened to your hand?
00:34:05So you do care, Alex?
00:34:07No, it's not like that.
00:34:09Just wrap it up before you bring me that stew.
00:34:11I don't want blood in my food.
00:34:13Forget that old stew. I'll take care of you.
00:34:15And I can fix your eating problem.
00:34:17Only food from the culinary guru counts.
00:34:19Everything else is trash.
00:34:21You...
00:34:23I can pay.
00:34:25I'm not after money.
00:34:27If Alex can eat my food, then
00:34:29I'm the best choice to be his wife.
00:34:31Teach Ira,
00:34:33and let's get married.
00:34:35Marrying Alex
00:34:37means all his money is mine.
00:34:39Oh, don't count on me leaving Alex.
00:34:41That fortune is mine.
00:34:43Do you really want to be with someone
00:34:45after your cash?
00:34:47Not your business.
00:34:51Fawn, give me a band-aid.
00:34:57Alex promised
00:34:59Alex promised to share his inheritance
00:35:01with me.
00:35:03Do it yourself.
00:35:07Hello?
00:35:09Hello, my dear apprentice.
00:35:11I just got my phone and called you.
00:35:13How are you? I 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
00:35:27for his money.
00:35:29What are you talking about?
00:35:31I'm not after money.
00:35:33Ira, is that how you talk about me?
00:35:35Your mentor is going to think I'm an asshole.
00:35:37Why do you care what he thinks?
00:35:39Maybe 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?
00:36:25Oh.
00:36:29Oh.
00:36:31Oh, my dear apprentice.
00:36:33I'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.
00:37:03Try my soup while it's still hot.
00:37:09How's it with the culinary guru?
00:37:11Could this seasoning be linked to the culinary guru?
00:37:13It's Ira's shit.
00:37:15That's a stretch.
00:37:17I could get used to it.
00:37:19Since you could finally eat,
00:37:21let me feed you.
00:37:23I got this, thanks.
00:37:25Come on, don't push me away.
00:37:27What's wrong with you?
00:37:29And why is it so hot in here?
00:37:31Seriously, Evelyn, get off.
00:37:33Feeling warm?
00:37:35Let me help.
00:37:37Alex, something's off with the culinary guru.
00:37:41What are you doing here?
00:37:43This is how you help?
00:37:45I gotta see this.
00:37:51Get lost.
00:37:59Feeling better already, huh?
00:38:01She calls that help
00:38:03and 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.
00:38:33Hey, what the hell?
00:38:35Well, you were overheating.
00:38:37You must have a fever.
00:38:39I thought it might cool you down.
00:38:41Did it work?
00:38:43Ira, you were such a dork.
00:38:47Dammit, Ira, you ruined my game.
00:38:51Seriously, you're such an idiot.
00:38:53You two done?
00:38:55Alex, guess what?
00:38:57I met the 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
00:39:19cures you.
00:39:21Not a chance.
00:39:23Is Ira finally waking up?
00:39:25Wait, Alex
00:39:27tossed your dish at the competition.
00:39:29What'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.
00:39:39Maybe she's his apprentice.
00:39:41Ira, what's your connection
00:39:43to 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 the culinary guru?
00:40:11Robert, you're here!
00:40:13Great to see you, kid.
00:40:15I've missed you tons.
00:40:21Nice digs you got here, kid.
00:40:23You landed a top-tier husband, didn't you?
00:40:25I can't believe you're finally here.
00:40:27I've missed you heaps.
00:40:29The culinary guru is here.
00:40:31Everyone,
00:40:33meet Chef Robert McFonbey.
00:40:35This guy?
00:40:37No way he's the world-famous culinary guru.
00:40:39He's as basic as Ira.
00:40:41Ira, bringing in some random
00:40:43grandpa just drags down Alex's
00:40:45reputation.
00:40:47Shut the fuck up, Evelyn.
00:40:49Don't insult my mentor.
00:40:51Let this queen twat yap.
00:40:53This is her only talent.
00:40:55Who are you calling
00:40:57twat, old coon?
00:40:59I
00:41:01am the culinary guru's apprentice.
00:41:03One phone call
00:41:05and I'll snuff you both out.
00:41:07The culinary guru's apprentice?
00:41:09Funny.
00:41:11Never heard of you.
00:41:15Please.
00:41:17People like you from 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
00:41:39just won the culinary championship.
00:41:41Why would I be scared of you,
00:41:43Ira? Last time
00:41:45you already lost.
00:41:47I was out last time, so that doesn't
00:41:49prove 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.
00:41:59Get real. If Alex could stomach
00:42:01your food, he would have by now.
00:42:03We'll see.
00:42:11With my secret
00:42:13sauce, let's see you stand a chance,
00:42:15Ira.
00:42:17Now why does she have my special
00:42:19blend in her hand?
00:42:23Oh, no!
00:42:25Your fish, it's burning!
00:42:27You
00:42:33sly old man!
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.
00:42:58What the hell?
00:43:00Burnt?
00:43:02No time to fix this now.
00:43:08Come at me, sis.
00:43:10You're always gonna lose.
00:43:19You have to try my dish.
00:43:21Where's Ira?
00:43:23I'm not hungry yet. I'll wait for her food.
00:43:25My sole is gonna
00:43:27get cold, Alex.
00:43:29Why wait your stomach for
00:43:31Ira?
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. Who says I didn't
00:44:01finish? Just...
00:44:03What?
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 that
00:44:13ring.
00:44:15Alex, you're not actually buying this, right?
00:44:17Ira, when did I
00:44:19ever say...
00:44:21Alex, just try this.
00:44:23When I win, Ira's out.
00:44:25And the title's mine for good.
00:44:27Go on, Alex. Dig in. 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 him something amazing.
00:45:21Get lost.
00:45:23This 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.
00:45:45Hang tight. My dish is almost done.
00:45:47Guess I'm doomed
00:45:49to starve as a foodie.
00:45:51Only the culinary guru gets me.
00:45:53So if the culinary guru
00:45:55doesn't show, you're
00:45:57off to meet the big man upstairs, huh?
00:46:03You know, Irish cooking has
00:46:05surpassed mine. You 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
00:46:19wanted a divorce, shall we figure out what happens next?
00:46:21Who talked
00:46:23about a divorce? I'm on my last legs
00:46:25here. Couldn'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.
00:46:43Here, Alex.
00:46:45Chow down.
00:46:49Guess your fortune is mine.
00:46:51Forget about him, Ira. Let's dig in.
00:46:55Man, that smells amazing.
00:46:57Try a piece.
00:47:01Butter.
00:47:03It's so sad my boss can't eat anything.
00:47:05It's so sad my boss can't eat anything.
00:47:13Boss!
00:47:15This is the best food ever! You really gotta
00:47:17try some. Please! Told you.
00:47:19Irish guy skills.
00:47:21You can talk all you want.
00:47:23This world's food has burned too many times.
00:47:25I've told Alex my cooking
00:47:27could cure him. Do all husbands
00:47:29not trust their wives? Maybe I just need
00:47:31a normal guy. Well, what are you after?
00:47:33Pretty boy? A handsome guy?
00:47:35I've got connections.
00:47:39Oh. Well, look who the cat
00:47:41dragged in.
00:47:43How was Heaven
00:47:45treating you?
00:47:51Fine. One more shot.
00:47:53But remember,
00:47:55I'm a food critic. I'll be keeping it
00:47:57real. No sugarcoating it.
00:47:59If
00:48:01you want some, help yourself.
00:48:03What are you
00:48:05waiting for? A butler?
00:48:21What?
00:48:23Irish cooking is even better
00:48:25than the culinary guru.
00:48:27Boss is eating! I've gotta tell Lady
00:48:29Linda.
00:48:31Ira, what is your
00:48:33connection 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.
00:48:45Get over it already.
00:48:47But that box you made was
00:48:49just like the culinary guru.
00:48:51And your dish, Ira,
00:48:53even I, a top critic,
00:48:55gotta admit, it's legit.
00:48:57Oh, well, Robert made that one.
00:49:03Yeah.
00:49:05Sorry, I
00:49:07forgot to say. I'm the one
00:49:09everyone's been talking about.
00:49:11I'm the culinary guru.
00:49:15What?
00:49:17And Ira here,
00:49:19my apprentice, is already
00:49:21better than I am.
00:49:25Why
00:49:27didn'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 you
00:49:35actually cared about me.
00:49:37Well, you're such a picky
00:49:39eater, you had me believing that my
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, you're
00:49:53eating again! We're in the clear
00:49:55for the food court project.
00:49:59Alex, I whipped up a new dish.
00:50:01You gotta try it. Another review
00:50:03session? As your test subject.
00:50:05You know, I have my pride, too.
00:50:07Why are you acting so serious?
00:50:13What's this
00:50:15mess?
00:50:17You know I'm a bit of an eat freak.
00:50:19So,
00:50:21other than cooking,
00:50:23do you have any big dreams? I sure do!
00:50:37I need to save my dinner from burning.
00:50:43Life's better when you can actually eat.
00:50:51Why
00:50:53is my face so hot?
00:51:09Oh, crap! I ruined it!
00:51:11My first time messing
00:51:13up a dish and 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. Thank you.
00:51:29Alex, since you're feeling better,
00:51:31I'm outta here.
00:51:37So who's this?
00:51:41Hi! I'm Gina.
00:51:43Ira, you said you were leaving?
00:51:45You know what? I might stick around.
00:51:51Bye.
00:51:57Ira, honey, what's the hurry?
00:51:59Grandma, Alex is downstairs
00:52:01chatting with some girl.
00:52:05Alex,
00:52:07I've missed you all these years.
00:52:09Oh, really? I don't believe it.
00:52:11Grandma, who is she?
00:52:13I don't buy it either.
00:52:15She's just acting sweet.
00:52:17She's Alex's first crush.
00:52:19I left him to study abroad
00:52:21without a thought.
00:52:23Gina,
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
00:52:37belongs to you.
00:52:39Looks like Ira's catching feelings
00:52:41for Alex.
00:52:43I know I blew it before.
00:52:45I put my plans
00:52:47for us and threw away
00:52:49everything that we had, but I'm here.
00:52:51I'm willing to throw away all my
00:52:53pride, whatever 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. I was lost trying to
00:53:01make sense of it for so long.
00:53:03And now you're back.
00:53:05What's the point? Alex, I came back
00:53:07for us. I've never forgotten
00:53:09about us. After all these years,
00:53:11I know you still feel it too.
00:53:13You haven't forgotten
00:53:15what we had. Let's just give it
00:53:17another shot.
00:53:27Aren't you hungry, Alex?
00:53:29Let's go.
00:53:31Alex!
00:53:33Gina, I'm married now.
00:53:35Just go.
00:53:37Ow!
00:53:39Ow!
00:53:41Ow!
00:53:43Oh, my ankle! I twisted it!
00:53:45You okay? I twisted it. It hurts.
00:53:47Oh, Alex.
00:53:49Put the ointment on it like you used to.
00:53:51I haven't forgotten
00:53:53how sweet you are.
00:53:55I'll take care of it.
00:53:57Ow!
00:53:59Ow!
00:54:01Ira's acting all weird.
00:54:03Is she finally
00:54:05feeling jealous?
00:54:07Ow!
00:54:09Ow!
00:54:11No,
00:54:13Frank. She's totally faking it.
00:54:19Ow!
00:54:21Easy! You're crushing me!
00:54:23Oh, you're fine.
00:54:25But this time, I'm gonna make sure it really hurts.
00:54:27Ow!
00:54:29Ow!
00:54:35Ira!
00:54:37Where are you going?
00:54:43Ira, you look like you lost your puppy.
00:54:45Alex'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.
00:55:01Got your work cut out for you.
00:55:03Body, she's got your beat.
00:55:05Looks,
00:55:07she's classy. You're comfy.
00:55:09She's got her degree,
00:55:11and you're still learning.
00:55:13Personality,
00:55:15she's sweet. You're...
00:55:17hungry.
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 got to 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.
00:55:57Really? No second chance for me?
00:56:01Gina, I'm taking.
00:56:03Take care.
00:56:13Hi, it's Ira.
00:56:15Sorry I missed your call. Leave a message.
00:56:17Where's Ira?
00:56:19She's dodging my calls.
00:56:23That must be Ira.
00:56:25Time 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.
00:56:51Are you alright?
00:56:53Here, let me help you.
00:57:01Thanks.
00:57:05Oh, Alex.
00:57:07We have so much to catch up on
00:57:09after all this time.
00:57:11Alex, you have to try my new dish.
00:57:23Alex, Ira left
00:57:25because she's upset with us.
00:57:27What do you think we should do?
00:57:29Get off! Ira!
00:57:33Alex.
00:57:35Gina, seriously?
00:57:37You drugged my drink.
00:57:39That's low, even for you.
00:57:41Alex, no, come on.
00:57:43Get off!
00:57:47You're gonna regret this!
00:57:55Steven, the chef's apprentice
00:57:57is out. You're halfway to taking
00:57:59the food court project.
00:58:01Well done, Gina.
00:58:03Alex, remember when
00:58:05you trashed Snow for using garbage
00:58:07ingredients? This time,
00:58:09I'm gonna wipe the floor with you
00:58:11and show you how wrong you were.
00:58:13We need top quality
00:58:15ingredients for this project, or
00:58:17I got it.
00:58:19Oh, you've reminded me of something. Besides the
00:58:21apprentice of culinary guru,
00:58:23Alex has got his own head chefs.
00:58:25Come on back. I'll poach them all
00:58:27and leave him with nothing to fight back.
00:58:29Once we snag the food court project,
00:58:31I'll get my share, right?
00:58:33Absolutely.
00:58:35You'll get your cut.
00:58:37Alex,
00:58:39I gave you a chance.
00:58:41This is all on you.
00:58:51She blocked me.
00:58:53What is she, a teenager?
00:58:55Boss?
00:58:57We've got a problem.
00:58:59That stupid Steven's been stealing our
00:59:01chefs left and right. We won't have a head chef
00:59:03for the food city project next week, and where it is,
00:59:05we're heading for bankruptcy.
00:59:07Of all the times for Ira to throw a fit.
00:59:09Get on it.
00:59:11Find us a new chef
00:59:13before the bidding meeting.
00:59:19Hot off the press,
00:59:21KL's group's top chef
00:59:23have flocked over to Steven's
00:59:25snow group, leaving little doubt
00:59:27about who will win next week's
00:59:29food city project.
00:59:31Could this be the beginning of the end for KL group?
00:59:33Oh, man,
00:59:35Alex is in trouble.
00:59:37So what? He has Gina now, doesn't he?
00:59:39Yeah, I guess.
00:59:41Alex is yesterday's news.
00:59:43I'm gonna go cook.
00:59:45Okay.
00:59:49Is it really that bad?
00:59:51Are you thinking about helping Alex?
00:59:53No.
00:59:57After the judges
00:59:59voting, the finalists for the food city
01:00:01bidding competition are
01:00:03KL group and
01:00:05snow group.
01:00:09Alright, folks, it's time for
01:00:11round two, where we invite our star
01:00:13Michelin starred chefs to the plate
01:00:15to create their magnum opuses.
01:00:17Let's get things started with snow group.
01:00:19Please give her a warm
01:00:21welcome, folks.
01:00:29Gina.
01:00:31Didn't expect this,
01:00:33did you, Alex?
01:00:35Gina's been on my side
01:00:37the entire time. All that talk
01:00:39of you two getting back together,
01:00:41just a little trick to separate you from
01:00:43your precious apprentice.
01:00:45Alex,
01:00:47I gave you a chance.
01:00:51When you told everybody that my company
01:00:53uses inferior ingredients,
01:00:55I swore I was going to bring you down.
01:00:57Your character is
01:00:59just like your ingredients,
01:01:01rotten on the inside and out.
01:01:03Keep talking
01:01:05tough, Alex, but where are you now?
01:01:07No head chef,
01:01:09no culinary genius.
01:01:11I'm going to snatch that
01:01:13project you've been drooling over
01:01:15and then I'm going to watch
01:01:17KL group crumble.
01:01:21Ladies and gentlemen, now we
01:01:23have the lovely Miss Gina ready to
01:01:25present her dish.
01:01:27KL group, it's your turn to
01:01:29step up.
01:01:31What's going on? Why is there nobody on Alex's
01:01:33side? It looks like they're ready to wave
01:01:35the white flag.
01:01:37I love you, chef.
01:01:41Just go ahead and throw in the towel, Alex.
01:01:43Even if you squeak by the first round,
01:01:45you've got no one for the second.
01:01:51She's got me all wrong. I don't think
01:01:53she's coming back. This misunderstanding
01:01:55is too deep.
01:01:57Since we have no one from
01:01:59KL group to compete, I hereby
01:02:01announce that the winner is
01:02:03Snow! Wait a minute!
01:02:07Alex,
01:02:09I'm back.
01:02:13What's the score?
01:02:15We're toast.
01:02:17I thought Gina was your ace.
01:02:19Guess she's not cutting it, huh?
01:02:21It's not like that with her and me.
01:02:23And Gina's representing Stephen in this competition.
01:02:25So your little reunion didn't go as planned?
01:02:27Ira,
01:02:29nothing happened with her.
01:02:31I will represent the KL group.
01:02:33I'll take Gina on myself.
01:02:35Aren't we expecting
01:02:37to see Michelin-starred chefs on stage?
01:02:39Are you really in that league?
01:02:41No, I'm not.
01:02:43How can she compete when she doesn't
01:02:45have any credentials, especially against
01:02:47Gina? I mean, she has
01:02:49royal chef status.
01:02:51Royal chef?
01:02:53Never heard of it. I was trained by
01:02:55the culinary guru, though, if that means anything.
01:02:59But the culinary guru hasn't
01:03:01been around for ages. And besides,
01:03:03Gina, she trained with the
01:03:05Sea Guru Robert. She said she
01:03:07trained with him? I mean, what?
01:03:09Wait, you're
01:03:11the culinary
01:03:13guru's apprentice?
01:03:15So Stephen stole
01:03:17all of Alex's chefs.
01:03:19Well, I may not be Michelin-starred
01:03:21status, but I have what it takes
01:03:23to represent the KL group.
01:03:25Why do you think you can represent KL?
01:03:27Because I'm his wife. That's why.
01:03:29Ira, you're a lifesaver.
01:03:33Let's see what you cook up.
01:03:35I'll give it a try
01:03:37and we'll see who
01:03:39takes the crown.
01:03:41And who are you, old man?
01:03:43What makes you think you're in charge here?
01:03:45He's Alan Dukas,
01:03:47president of the DuPont group,
01:03:49the project's big cheese.
01:03:53Oh, he's definitely
01:03:55the one with the final say.
01:03:57Sir, this is the dish from
01:03:59Snow group.
01:04:03Rich. And aromatic.
01:04:05Like you're basking
01:04:07in a warm Mediterranean sun.
01:04:09I created this
01:04:11with the combined efforts of three
01:04:13top chefs. So good luck
01:04:15beating that, Ira.
01:04:17You may be the culinary guru's apprentice,
01:04:19but that doesn't mean that you can outshine
01:04:21the work of four of us combined.
01:04:23Seriously,
01:04:25you think you can compete
01:04:27with something so simple and rough?
01:04:29This is what the culinary guru's
01:04:31apprentice comes up with? It's so
01:04:33inelegant.
01:04:35You don't understand. A chef who can't cook
01:04:37with pure ingredients will never make
01:04:39the best food.
01:04:43Ira's right. A chef who relies
01:04:45only on spices, can never
01:04:47make the best food.
01:04:49Ira's right.
01:04:51A chef who relies only on spices
01:04:53is a one-trick pony.
01:04:55I'd rather just drink my protein shakes.
01:05:07What's up with Alan? Why isn't he
01:05:09saying anything?
01:05:11You think the stuff is that bad?
01:05:13It must be terrible. Mr. Alan's
01:05:15in tears. No one asked
01:05:17for your opinion. Mr. Alan, how does
01:05:19it taste?
01:05:23My dream, since I was young,
01:05:25was to taste the best food
01:05:27in the world. I never
01:05:29guessed I would do it today.
01:05:31I've waited 30 years
01:05:33for this dish. I declare
01:05:35the KL Group,
01:05:37led by Alex, winner.
01:05:39This isn't fair! I used
01:05:41the best, most expensive ingredients
01:05:43for my dish. How can plain scrambled
01:05:45eggs beat that? If all they care
01:05:47about is chasing fancy and extravagant,
01:05:49that is not what the project
01:05:51needs. Snow Group
01:05:53doesn't cut it.
01:05:55Just wait, Alex. I'm gonna make you pay!
01:05:59Ira, you crushed it.
01:06:01Food City Project is ours.
01:06:03I told you I could do it.
01:06:05Miss Ira, I have to know,
01:06:07what were you thinking
01:06:09while you were whipping those eggs
01:06:11that came so delicious?
01:06:13I guess I was just thinking about
01:06:15someone special.
01:06:19Miss Ira,
01:06:21sounds like you have it
01:06:23for that person.
01:06:35Alex, you promised me a surprise.
01:06:37What is it?
01:06:39Ira, thanks for everything
01:06:41in this competition.
01:06:43This is a family heirloom,
01:06:45meant for Mrs. Thompson.
01:06:47So, Ira,
01:06:49will you be mine
01:06:51forever?
01:06:59Stay forever?
01:07:01That sounds boring.
01:07:03I haven't even explored the world yet.
01:07:05Guess I can't keep the bracelet, huh?
01:07:11Ira, do you not get it, or
01:07:13are you just messing with me?
01:07:19Hey, Alex, what's up?
01:07:21You called for me?
01:07:23I have two gifts for you.
01:07:27Here's a card with half my fortune.
01:07:29Take it as a thank you.
01:07:33Alex, you're the best.
01:07:35I love cash.
01:07:37Now I can buy all the ingredients I want
01:07:39anywhere.
01:07:41Ira, I like you.
01:07:43I want to take our relationship to the next level.
01:07:45What do you think? How do you feel about me?
01:07:49Um...
01:07:51You certainly have the money, and you let me prove
01:07:53my cooking abilities.
01:07:55You really have made all my dreams come true.
01:07:57Ira,
01:07:59you want out, right?
01:08:01I'll give you the money and the freedom
01:08:03you want.
01:08:05Here's a divorce agreement.
01:08:07Let's add this.
01:08:17Ira,
01:08:19sign this, and you're free.
01:08:21I'm leaving the country
01:08:23after it's done. Take care.
01:08:25I just remembered something.
01:08:37What?
01:08:41What does Alex mean?
01:08:49Why can't I stop thinking about him?
01:08:57Why was I thinking about Alex all night?
01:08:59Alex seemed off yesterday.
01:09:01Maybe I should cheer him up
01:09:03when I see him.
01:09:05Crap, I never signed the divorce papers.
01:09:07How do I bring that up?
01:09:13Where's Alex?
01:09:15It feels weird not seeing him around.
01:09:19Grandma, where's Alex?
01:09:21Oh, Alex? He's at the airport,
01:09:23about to jet off.
01:09:25Congrats, honey.
01:09:27You'll finally be free. No more Alex
01:09:29to nag you.
01:09:31What?
01:09:35Boss,
01:09:39the plane is boarding.
01:09:41Looks like she's not coming.
01:09:43She didn't even bother to show up.
01:09:47Like I care.
01:09:49Vaughn,
01:09:51let's go home.
01:09:55Alex!
01:10:01I can't stand the thought of losing you.
01:10:05Ira, if I stay,
01:10:07you'll end up leaving.
01:10:09You want your freedom and you don't love me.
01:10:11I can't be selfish and keep you trapped
01:10:13in this marriage.
01:10:15I don't want you to leave.
01:10:17Why not?
01:10:19Because when I'm not with you,
01:10:21you're all I think about.
01:10:23Alex,
01:10:25you asked me how I felt
01:10:27and I finally know.
01:10:29I love you.
01:10:35I love you too.
01:10:49I'm not signing this.
01:10:51That's not real, it doesn't matter.
01:10:53Huh?
01:11:05Mmm.
01:11:25Nailed it.
01:11:27That smells great.
01:11:29It's a flavor bomb.
01:11:31Ira's cooking is always the best.
01:11:35Nice.
01:11:37Oh my gosh, so good.
01:11:39Thanks, Ira.
01:11:41Of course.
01:11:45My blue lobster!
01:11:47My gourmet tuna!
01:11:49My treasures!
01:11:51Chef McFlambé, what's wrong?
01:11:53You used all my top-shelf shit?
01:11:55Well, why let the primo ingredients
01:11:57go to waste, you know?
01:11:59We're done.
01:12:01We're like a diet soda at a barbecue,
01:12:03Oh, you need money?
01:12:05Leave that to me, let's rob a bank.
01:12:07Where did you hear that?
01:12:09The villagers know a guy who did it
01:12:11and walked away with a ton of easy cash.
01:12:13That's illegal.
01:12:15We don't go from chef to criminal.
01:12:17What's next, a recipe for jailhouse bread?
01:12:19Well then, how do we make money?
01:12:21Your cooking skills have surpassed mine.
01:12:25You could go down the mountain
01:12:27and make some cash.
01:12:29There are endless ingredients down there
01:12:31You're really shy.
01:12:33I'll be a world-famous chef.
01:12:47Watch out, world.
01:12:49Here I come.
01:12:53Vaughn, how's the prep for the culinary
01:12:55competition coming?
01:12:57Being anorexic is so bad.
01:13:05We have to find the culinary guru this time.
