00:00:26Already has a short fuse
00:00:28It's hard to make Julian partnered with him
00:00:32Listen up everybody
00:00:34Charles Dupont America's top food critic is here to review the Davenport his influence could lead us to a Michelin
00:00:40star

00:01:23oh
00:01:48Corinne!
00:01:50Wow, is that Troy Davenport's girlfriend making out
00:01:55Like his business partner?
00:01:56Yeah.
00:01:57Didn't you go to culinary school with Troy?
00:01:59Yep.
00:02:00But he doesn't remember me.
00:02:02But I remember him unloved.
00:02:04I was so in love with him.
00:02:06But he had a temper.
00:02:08He's gonna lose his shit about this.
00:02:22Wow.
00:02:23Was that Troy Davenport's girlfriend making out
00:02:26with his business partner?
00:02:27Yeah.
00:02:28I can't believe this.
00:02:32Troy Davenport is the most successful and famous chef
00:02:35in America.
00:02:38Elena definitely doesn't deserve him.
00:02:45Um, so sorry about this, sir.
00:02:47We'll get this taken care of?
00:02:48Yes, I'll make you another one right away.
00:02:50It's on the house.
00:02:50Thanks.
00:02:58Hey, chef, Charles DuPont is here at Table 13.
00:03:01He's asking for you personally.
00:03:03Great.
00:03:05Okay.
00:03:09Charles DuPont.
00:03:11Ah, the soon-to-be Michelin star man.
00:03:14It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
00:03:18Is everything all right?
00:03:43Son of a bitch.
00:03:52What the fuck happened here?
00:03:57We are so sorry if your meal's on the house tonight.
00:04:19Troy, get off of him!
00:04:25You're finished!
00:04:27You're right.
00:04:27I am finished.
00:04:28With both of you!
00:04:29Troy, wait.
00:04:30I can explain.
00:04:31It's over.
00:04:32Just step aside and talk about this.
00:04:34We are one step away from a Michelin star.
00:04:37Fuck your Michelin.
00:04:38Oh, careful, Troy.
00:04:40This restaurant is all you have.
00:04:43Yeah, you're making a big mistake.
00:04:44You walk out that door and I promise you'll never work in this town again.
00:04:48I guess this is all I have.
00:04:50I'm done.
00:04:55Fuck you.
00:05:02Oh my gosh, that's Troy Davenport.
00:05:05Fuck off.
00:05:06He's gorgeous.
00:05:13Fuck!
00:05:14Fuck!
00:05:14Fuck!
00:05:16I need a drink.
00:05:25I heard he just beat up his boss.
00:05:37I heard he just beat up his boss.
00:05:47Oh my gosh.
00:05:50What do I have to do to get a drink around here?
00:05:54Oh, oh my gosh.
00:05:56Hector!
00:05:58Scandal rocks the culinary world.
00:06:00Oh, my gosh.
00:06:01I want to give you a drink.
00:06:06Oh, that hurt.
00:06:13between Julian Hartman, his business partner,
00:06:16and his girlfriend, Elena Stewart.
00:06:18Reporting live in Knoxville, I'm Abby Pork.
00:06:22Yo, you see what went down across the street?
00:06:25Shit's crazy.
00:06:26Hector, put your phone away, okay?
00:06:28Customers are complaining they're not getting what they ordered.
00:06:30Well, if we had a system,
00:06:31we wouldn't be drowning every goddamn night.
00:06:33Whoa, simmer down, drama queen.
00:06:37Call me drama queen one more time.
00:06:39I dare you, hold on.
00:06:41Enough, okay?
00:06:43Hey, we're already behind.
00:06:45It's because you don't know how to run this kitchen.
00:06:48You know what?
00:06:50Troy's a genius.
00:06:52That's how you do it.
00:06:53Boom, the mother.
00:06:55Hector.
00:06:58I'm done.
00:07:01Where are you going?
00:07:08Hector.
00:07:10Hector, come on, please, please, please, please, please.
00:07:12I need you to stay, please, please, I need you.
00:07:16You need a lot of things, Corrine.
00:07:17I'm the least of your problems.
00:07:19I quit.
00:07:26I...
00:07:37What have you done?
00:07:38Your face is all over the news.
00:07:39I did what I had to do.
00:07:41I did what I had to do.
00:07:41Hey, where's my burger?
00:07:43It's cold, seriously.
00:07:44What is taking so long?
00:07:46Are you sure you've thought this through?
00:07:48Julian will destroy you.
00:07:50I gotta go.
00:07:53Where's our food?
00:07:54Your salads are coming, ma'am.
00:07:56I'm so sorry for the delay.
00:08:11Okay, so he's gone, but we'll just have to deal without him.
00:08:16Fuck.
00:08:16Guys, I could really use some help here.
00:08:21Corrine.
00:08:22Corrine.
00:08:22We're in trouble.
00:08:23Don't be surprised if we end up comping meals tonight.
00:08:27Are you really using some help?
00:08:32Corrine, it's Corrine.
00:08:42Corrine.
00:08:45Who are you?
00:08:52Corrine.
00:08:55Corrine.
00:08:59Corrine.
00:09:01Corrine.
00:09:03Corrine.
00:09:06Corrine.
00:09:07Corrine.
00:09:09Corrine.
00:09:11Corrine.
00:09:13Corrine.
00:09:15Corrine.
00:09:17Corrine.
00:09:18What is he doing here?
00:09:20You, turn the heat down.
00:09:22Huh?
00:09:22You're burning the scallops.
00:09:24Oh, shit.
00:09:26Everybody take a deep breath.
00:09:27We're only five tickets deep.
00:09:29Okay.
00:09:30Let me see the menu.
00:09:33It's pretty straightforward.
00:09:34Just be careful.
00:09:36Don't take Manny's knives,
00:09:38and if you go into the walk-in,
00:09:40don't slam the door, or it'll lock you out.
00:09:46Grin, pull it together.
00:09:48He's just an arrogant chef.
00:09:50But God, he's hot.
00:10:13I don't know.
00:10:34Manny!
00:10:35Remember to use your safety words.
00:10:38Sorry, chef.
00:10:43You're a magician.
00:10:46Just, uh,
00:10:48tidying up some loose ends.
00:10:49Hey, Manny!
00:10:50Stop working!
00:11:03Manny!
00:11:04Not like that!
00:11:06You gotta control the pain.
00:11:08Alright, Prince Charming.
00:11:10This ain't my first rodeo.
00:11:12On second thought?
00:11:15You got this.
00:11:16Hey, Table 3 is complaining it's too cold.
00:11:18And where is 7?
00:11:19Where...
00:11:21Oh, thank you.
00:11:24Where's my food?
00:11:27I'm so sorry for the delay.
00:11:31How is everything now?
00:11:41Is everything okay now?
00:11:46Now we're talking.
00:11:47This burger's better than the Davenport across the street.
00:11:50And this one's half the price.
00:11:55Did y'all get a new chef?
00:11:56We did.
00:11:57We started 15 minutes ago.
00:11:59No.
00:12:14Well, you survived the night.
00:12:17Thanks to you.
00:12:18I didn't do much.
00:12:20You did everything.
00:12:25If it's not too personal, can I ask what happened at your restaurant tonight?
00:12:32I'm done.
00:12:36I caught my business partner with his hands on my girlfriend.
00:12:43Ten years building that place.
00:12:46Now I've lost everything.
00:12:48You didn't lose everything.
00:12:50You...
00:12:51You lost the parts of your life you didn't need.
00:12:54There's a difference.
00:12:56Look, tonight would have been a disaster if we didn't have you.
00:12:59You were...
00:13:00You were great.
00:13:02I just wanted to help.
00:13:04Well...
00:13:08If you want to keep on helping, I do need a replacement.
00:13:17Are you offering me a job?
00:13:20I am.
00:13:22I know we're not fine dining, but we make people happy.
00:13:29So...
00:13:31What do you say, Davenport?
00:13:33I am.
00:13:40Let's go.
00:13:45Oh my God.
00:13:51If you're already on the left and open, please go to your left, thank you.
00:13:51Julian, what the fuck is this?
00:13:53What are you talking about?
00:13:54It's a fresh start for us.
00:13:56Ahh!
00:13:56No, no, no, no, no.
00:13:57I appreciate the gesture, but we're not getting a new name.
00:14:01But Davenport is already established.
00:14:03Okay, we are on Charles de Ponce Radar.
00:14:05We're not going backwards.
00:14:07Now, the real question is,
00:14:08where do we find a world-renowned chef like Troy?
00:14:10Chefs are a diamond dozen.
00:14:12Let me worry about that.
00:14:14Ungrateful bitch.
00:14:15What the fuck is Troy doing?
00:14:20Looks like we weren't the only ones having an affair.
00:14:26Hey, they're not worth your energy.
00:14:32You're right.
00:14:33But you are.
00:14:35Okay, come on.
00:14:38Well, if Troy thinks he can set up shop across from us,
00:14:40then he's got another fucking thing coming.
00:14:43Listen, we will destroy them.
00:14:46Get it?
00:14:55I was thinking beet salad with citrus vinaigrette.
00:14:59Beets?
00:15:00For dinner service?
00:15:01They're heavy, they stain, they die on a plate
00:15:04if you so much as blink.
00:15:06Okay, Mr. Michelin.
00:15:08Almost.
00:15:09People love beets.
00:15:11People love cheesecake, too.
00:15:12It doesn't mean you need to put it
00:15:14underneath all of your entrees.
00:15:16You need to check your ego.
00:15:17I think this is why we weren't friends in culinary school.
00:15:20We were in the same culinary school?
00:15:22Exactly.
00:15:23Now we're on the same page.
00:15:25Last night you walked into my restaurant,
00:15:27lectured my staff, and reorganized my kitchen in what?
00:15:30We'd known each other, like, 10 seconds.
00:15:33Lecture?
00:15:34Really?
00:15:34Manny almost burned your kitchen down.
00:15:36I'm just saying dial it back.
00:15:38And I'm just saying you should be saying thank you.
00:15:44Now I remember you.
00:15:47You were always so standoffish.
00:15:50Standoffish?
00:15:51Hm?
00:15:52Hey, you.
00:15:55Hey.
00:15:56You're that chef that had the, uh, meltdown, right?
00:15:59What about it?
00:16:01Is this the girl you cheated on Elena with?
00:16:06She is a total downgrade.
00:16:18She is a total downgrade.
00:16:33It's my boy.
00:16:36You're not yet?
00:16:36You're okay?
00:16:37Come on.
00:16:41Come on.
00:16:43Come on.
00:16:50Hey.
00:16:52Hi.
00:16:55You better be careful now.
00:16:58With the way you're making me move, you're feeling it too.
00:17:02You better be careful now
00:17:04Didn't think that it would be true
00:17:07But now it's on you
00:17:14Thank you, but what about you?
00:17:17I'm fine
00:17:43We should get back
00:17:45You're not getting this piece
00:17:56Thank you
00:17:59Here you go
00:18:02Beats salad
00:18:02Really?
00:18:04See, I'm not the only one
00:18:07Just saying
00:18:08Wait, I didn't know we were picking sides
00:18:11Who's riding the checks around here?
00:18:13I do
00:18:13I pick hers
00:18:15That's what I thought
00:18:17I like beats
00:18:18They're earthy
00:18:20Earthy means it tastes like dirt
00:18:23Dirt with personality
00:18:25Exactly
00:18:27God help us
00:18:56This isn't food
00:18:59Now
00:19:05This isn't food
00:19:06It's dirt
00:19:08You know what
00:19:14Hey, uh, can somebody clean up this garbage?
00:19:18Oh, hey, so, um, go buy yourself a new apron
00:19:23You look like a maid
00:19:26Get out of my restaurant
00:19:27Now
00:19:28Pick up your money and leave
00:19:30Before I make you leave
00:19:31Troy, we need to talk
00:19:33Anything you need to say to Troy
00:19:34You can say right here
00:19:43How long have you and Troy been fucking?
00:19:46Excuse me?
00:19:48Let me get something straight
00:19:50You walk into my restaurant
00:19:51After fucking his business partner
00:19:53And you're gonna accuse us?
00:19:56That's insane
00:19:57Get out of my fucking restaurant
00:20:00Before I press assault charges
00:20:02Yeah, good luck with that
00:20:04So I only came over here to warn you
00:20:07Because Julian is furious
00:20:09And I hope the two of you are ready for war
00:20:12Because once we are done with you
00:20:14You won't have any business left
00:20:16Are you threatening me?
00:20:18Bitch, are you deaf?
00:20:19Get out
00:20:21Now
00:20:21I will ruin you!
00:20:24You hear me?
00:20:30What did you ever see in her?
00:20:33She knows how to get what she wants
00:20:35But she doesn't have what it takes
00:20:38She's not you
00:20:38You have horrible taste in women
00:20:41You have no idea
00:20:49Julian!
00:20:51Julian!
00:20:52Okay, Troy and that dumb fucking bitch
00:20:55That's okay, they're not going anywhere
00:20:56They just threatened us
00:20:58Us!
00:20:59You need to figure something out now
00:21:01Threaten us?
00:21:02You should have left him a long time ago
00:21:05Bury both those assholes
00:21:07You need to find a replacement now!
00:21:09Oh, I'm way ahead of you
00:21:10Come with me
00:21:18So where is this magical replacement of yours?
00:21:24Who the hell is that?
00:21:25My name's Hector Ramirez
00:21:27Okay, congratulations
00:21:30Julian says you need a new star
00:21:32Lucky for you
00:21:34I'm the upgrade
00:21:35Troy was the past
00:21:36This is the future of the Davenport
00:21:40Plus he used to work for Karen
00:21:41And knows all of her weaknesses
00:21:42We got a system
00:21:44We wouldn't be trying to
00:21:45We've got that, right?
00:21:48I'm done!
00:21:50Is that so?
00:21:51Because
00:21:52From where I'm standing
00:21:54It looks like we're fucked
00:21:57Give me two weeks in this kitchen
00:21:59And I'll make everyone forget
00:22:00Troy ever existed
00:22:02That's the attitude we want
00:22:04What do you say?
00:22:13Troy was the past
00:22:15This is the future of the Davenport
00:22:17What do you say?
00:22:25Fine
00:22:25Deal
00:22:27But I am watching you
00:22:29Okay, one wrong move
00:22:31And you're out
00:22:33Good luck
00:22:38Just a bitch
00:22:40I love it
00:22:53What happened?
00:23:00Julian hired Hector?
00:23:03They gotta be desperate
00:23:04If they hired that asshole
00:23:05Man, that guy's got
00:23:06Some serious SPE
00:23:09Small PP energy
00:23:10That guy took over
00:23:11Half my knife for
00:23:11And that shit was expensive
00:23:13Real total
00:23:14Julian did this on purpose
00:23:16He wanted Troy to look
00:23:17Replaceable
00:23:19Julian likes to play dirty
00:23:22Two can play at that game
00:23:24What are we gonna do?
00:23:26We
00:23:28Are gonna go to war
00:23:48Table 12's up
00:23:49Let's move
00:23:55You could have asked
00:23:59Need salt
00:24:04Try it
00:24:05When you look at me like that
00:24:08It's got me all hot
00:24:12A dash of fire and sex
00:24:15Boiling over in the pot
00:24:31Tipped
00:24:33Okay, we talked about this
00:24:35And I want you taking over my kitchen
00:24:37I'm taking this seriously
00:24:40There's a difference
00:24:54Grin, wait
00:24:55Ma'am
00:24:56The two are either gonna kiss
00:24:57Or kill each other by Friday
00:24:59100%
00:25:00Both
00:25:04Grin, wait
00:25:05You made me look like a fool
00:25:07In front of my kitchen staff
00:25:08That's not what happened
00:25:09You were critiquing my food
00:25:11Saying it wasn't ready
00:25:12I said the dish wasn't ready
00:25:15I was just trying to help you
00:25:16I don't want your help
00:25:17Fine
00:25:19I'll leave
00:25:21No
00:25:21You having a little lover's quarrel
00:25:28You're finished
00:25:31Say it again
00:25:32I fucking did
00:25:33Go ahead Troy
00:25:34Beat me up in front of your new girlfriend
00:25:37She's not my fucking girlfriend
00:25:43I hope I'm not interrupting
00:25:46Mr. Depart
00:25:53She's not my fucking girlfriend
00:25:57I hope I'm not interrupting
00:25:59Mr. Depart
00:26:01Troy Davenport
00:26:03Yeah, I've been hearing quite a lot about you lately
00:26:05Rumor has it you've taken up residence across the street
00:26:09The rumors are true, Mr. Depart
00:26:11Troy now works across the street
00:26:13At, uh, Corinne's corner
00:26:16Then, uh, who is your head chef?
00:26:18Hector Ramirez
00:26:19The chef I couldn't wait to fire
00:26:22Oh?
00:26:23I-I've never heard of him
00:26:25There's a reason for that
00:26:27How's that going, by the way?
00:26:29Great
00:26:30Hector is five times the chef that Troy ever was
00:26:34Well, it seems we have quite the rivalry brewing in this little neighborhood
00:26:39Now, I-I've been speaking with producers
00:26:41And we've spent the past few weeks
00:26:44Scouting the city's most talked-about kitchens
00:26:46And everywhere I go
00:26:48I keep hearing about this feud
00:26:50Between, uh, Davenport
00:26:51And Corinne's corner
00:26:53So, I've come to formally invite you both
00:26:57To compete
00:26:59One week from tomorrow
00:27:01Dash of Fire crowns the best restaurant in the city
00:27:05Televised nationwide
00:27:06And frankly
00:27:08Rivalry like this
00:27:10Makes excellent television
00:27:12And
00:27:14I'll be one of the judges
00:27:15The Davenport will always reign king here
00:27:18So, what happens when we win?
00:27:20If
00:27:21You win
00:27:21The winner gets national recognition on the show
00:27:25And a recommendation from me for a Michelin star
00:27:29What's the competition?
00:27:31Both restaurants will present one signature dish
00:27:34And the community dish
00:27:36Something meaningful that's rooted in who you are
00:27:44May the best restaurant win
00:27:46It will
00:27:53The competition is one week away
00:27:55If we beat the Davenport
00:27:57We set the record straight
00:27:58Losing is not an option
00:28:00Does that mean you have to make one of those fancy smell dishes?
00:28:03I hope not
00:28:04No
00:28:05We make what we know
00:28:07And for this competition only Troy and I will be competing against Hector
00:28:12Well
00:28:13Luckily for us we have the Davenport secret weapon
00:28:17Get ready for a Michelin bootcamp
00:28:19Critics like Charles DuPont want mastery
00:28:21Not novelty
00:28:22They don't want to just taste something
00:28:25They want an experience
00:28:28That tells a story
00:28:30A dish that says who we are
00:28:32Exactly
00:28:34I've got some ideas
00:28:35Maybe we can listen to my ideas for once
00:28:39Well
00:28:40That's enough for me for one day
00:28:42I'm off the clock
00:28:43Goodnight
00:28:46You two
00:28:47Behave
00:28:48I'm leaving before this turns into a cage match
00:28:54I'm all ears
00:29:15Chef!
00:29:17Jeez
00:29:18You scared the shit out of me
00:29:21What's going on?
00:29:22Leaving so soon?
00:29:24I thought we were done for the day
00:29:25You are not done until we say you're done
00:29:28I know my man
00:29:29That's harsh
00:29:30I've been putting in the work
00:29:32Harsh?
00:29:33Harsh is when you almost ruin our reputation in front of Charles DuPont
00:29:36Are you really gonna do that to us?
00:29:39You're on thin ice, hermano
00:29:41So, here's how this is gonna work from now on
00:29:44No more skipping out early
00:29:46No more laziness
00:29:47From now on you follow our rules
00:29:49Capiche?
00:29:50What?
00:29:51Do you understand?
00:29:53Okay, okay, I hear you
00:29:55Do you?
00:29:56Because right now you look like someone who needs to go home and think very carefully
00:30:00Carefully
00:30:00You've done enough damage for one day, Hector
00:30:03So go home
00:30:04But you better come back a better man tomorrow
00:30:07Or don't bother coming back at all
00:30:10Okay, I'll do better
00:30:12I promise
00:30:15Okay, get back to work, guys
00:30:27We need a menu with heart
00:30:29Heart is good, but this is still a competition
00:30:32We need a winning dish
00:30:33It needs to represent both of us
00:30:36It needs to mean something
00:30:37It will
00:30:39Let's try both dishes
00:30:40Fine, let's get the ingredients
00:30:59Tell me you did not just let the door slam
00:31:01What?
00:31:08Why is the door locked?
00:31:09Door locks automatically
00:31:21Door locks automatically
00:31:23This is really bad
00:31:25How was I supposed to know?
00:31:27I would have fixed it if you would have told me already
00:31:28I believe it was one of the first things that I told you
00:31:36Yep, no service
00:31:38Great, we're gonna be stuck here until tomorrow
00:31:40Just take a deep breath
00:31:42Take a deep breath
00:31:43I can't be calm right now, okay?
00:31:45It's freezing in here
00:31:47And to make matters worse, we still don't have a dish yet
00:31:49I mean, they're both wrong
00:31:51They're not wrong
00:31:52No, they're just not us
00:31:56Yet
00:31:57Us?
00:32:00It has to be something that we build
00:32:03Together
00:32:12Here, you're freezing
00:32:13I'm fine
00:32:17I know I push you
00:32:20Constantly
00:32:22But
00:32:24You stood up for me
00:32:26In front of DuPont
00:32:27And you didn't have to do that
00:32:30Thank you
00:32:32I want to
00:32:40I'm not a saint Korean
00:32:41I'm not a romantic
00:32:43I don't see pretty things
00:32:45I'm used to being in charge of everything
00:32:47The kitchen, menu, myself
00:32:49But when it comes to you
00:32:53I just get in my head and the only thing I want to do is to
00:33:06Sorry, I just needed to shut you up
00:33:26I just needed to shut you up
00:33:39There you are
00:33:40Hey, are you guys still here?
00:33:43You left the front door wide open
00:33:59I'm not even going to ask
00:34:01We're just trying to keep warm
00:34:03All right, Pinocchio
00:34:04Let's get out of here
00:34:04Before we all freeze to death
00:34:11Why don't you two try the beach next time
00:34:13And I'm not dragging you popsicles out of there again
00:34:15Okay, this stays between us
00:34:17Already erased from my memory
00:34:19Troy?
00:34:23Where's my notebook? I left it right here
00:34:35You have something to show us?
00:34:37Yes, sir
00:34:38I thought about what you both said last night
00:34:40And it really inspired me
00:34:43I stayed up late thinking of new ideas that I think you'll love
00:34:46Show us what you got, Hector
00:34:48Dish number one, spring tilapia
00:34:57This is really good
00:35:01It reminds me of the one that Troy used to make
00:35:03But better
00:35:04It's actually excellent
00:35:08Got anything else?
00:35:13Dish number two and my personal favorite
00:35:15Pasta carbonara
00:35:24Oh my god
00:35:27Finally!
00:35:28Hector, what the hell did you do?
00:35:38Troy's notebook
00:35:39See?
00:35:40I'm not as dumb as I look apparently not you know if you keep this up we might
00:35:47actually have a shot at winning
00:36:08I know I left it here
00:36:35I think this is why we weren't friends in culinary school
00:36:38you were in culinary school
00:36:45hey you know I was just thinking about last
00:36:47hey hey what's wrong you didn't just pick this location

00:37:07did Julian put you up to this don't get it twisted okay I never planned on us that's the problem
00:37:14I trusted you I thought last night meant something
00:37:18it did it does please then why does it feel like you've been sharpening a
00:37:23knife behind my parents
00:37:27try
00:37:37try
00:37:38try
00:37:40try

00:38:41I wasn't going anywhere I just needed some space
00:38:45please Troy just let me explain
00:38:49I'm listening look I know beat Troy to have important sounds brutal and I did write it but
00:38:58not for the reasons that you think in culinary school every guy wanted to be you okay you could
00:39:05turn an ordinary dish into something unforgettable I watched you cook and I thought you were a master
00:39:15so yeah I wrote beat Troy to have important not because I wanted to destroy you I I needed
00:39:23something to chase you're the reason I opened up my restaurant and took out a loan I couldn't afford

00:52:24where culinary mastery is put to the test
00:52:27in front of three judges, and only one restaurant will win.
00:52:33Representing the Davenport,
00:52:35Knoxville's most talked-about fine dining room,
00:52:39we have up-and-coming superstar, Chef Hector Ramirez.
00:52:47And representing Corinne's corner,
00:52:50the fastest-growing neighborhood favorite in the city,
00:52:53Chef Corinne Miller.
00:52:58And her partner in craft, Chef Troy Davenport.
00:53:05Now, both of these teams will present two dishes tonight.
00:53:09One signature dish that will define their kitchen,
00:53:13and one community dish that will define their story.
00:53:18I don't know about you,
00:53:20but I'm getting hungry talking about all this food.
00:53:22So let's get cooking!
00:53:40Hey, breathe.
00:53:43You got this.
00:53:44Guns a thousand times.
00:53:46Don't let me mess this up.
00:53:47Whoa.
00:53:49I got your back.
00:53:52Are we going?
00:53:58You're shaking.
00:54:00Stop shaking.
00:54:02Hector!
00:54:03Darling!
00:54:04If you blow this, you blow it for everyone!
00:54:08Jesus, put some conviction in it.
00:54:24There she is.
00:54:25And this is it.
00:54:28This is you.
00:54:36It's fine.
00:54:38Find his failure.
00:54:42That is the end of round one.
00:54:45Now on to the judges.
00:54:48The judges.
00:55:03Wow.
00:55:06I was not expecting that.
00:55:08This might just be the best burger I've ever tasted.
00:55:21And the salmon?
00:55:23I mean, it's tasty.
00:55:25It was cooked well.
00:55:26I just feel it's missing personality.
00:55:30Oh!
00:55:33Yeah, I'm still searching for a pulse.
00:55:40Corinne just put the Davenport in a tight corner by sweeping the signature round.
00:55:47Now, let's see if Chef Hector can redeem himself with his community dish.
00:55:57I'm proud of you.
00:55:58It's not over yet.
00:56:04It's not over yet.
00:56:06Round two, the community dish.
00:56:11Chefs, show us who you are.
00:56:13Chef, please tell us about your dish.
00:56:16We didn't have much growing up, but there was always food on the table.
00:56:22This is my mother's lentil soup.
00:56:33Chefs, begin.
00:56:39You can't serve this.
00:56:40It's bland, safe, dead.
00:56:43Julian's right.
00:56:44This bisque won't beat Corinne's stupid story.
00:56:47You need something emotional.
00:56:50So, what do you want?
00:56:51The basole, the thing you made last night.
00:56:54You want me to cook my food?
00:56:56Yes, Hector.
00:56:57It's the only dish you've ever made with any kind of soul.
00:57:00It's the only thing that'll compete.
00:57:01We're losing.
00:57:02If you want to save us, then cook the damn basole.
00:57:06Okay?
00:57:07Let's go.
00:57:11Make it like last night.
00:57:13But better, actually.
00:57:21This is our shot.
00:57:22We got this.
00:57:29Just to take me higher.
00:57:32There's a light on my heels.
00:57:38So, take me higher.
00:57:42To make a deal.
00:57:44But I walk through fire.
00:57:47I walk through fire.
00:58:00That is the end of round two.
00:58:12Oh, my God.
00:58:13I'm going to pass that.
00:58:14I've been all in my business.
00:58:16We got out of here.
00:58:17Chefs, present your dishes.
00:58:21Chef Corinne.
00:58:22This is my mother's lentil soup.
00:58:24We didn't have much, but it fed us both body and soul.
00:58:28I'd like to share it with you all tonight.
00:58:37Comfort.
00:58:39Soul.
00:58:40Exactly what this round is all about.
00:58:51Chef Hector, I'm not looking safe tonight.
00:58:56This is my abuela's recipe.
00:58:58Sunday mornings, eight kids, one pot.
00:59:01Always enough.
00:59:03It's my home on a plate.
00:59:06Okay.
00:59:07That was small.
00:59:08Real small.
00:59:11This is remarkable.
00:59:14I mean, dare I even say unbelievable.
00:59:17Oh, no.
00:59:19Oh, no.
00:59:20There's a reason why we kept that guy around, and there it is.
00:59:24Both dishes are extraordinary, but one edge is fourth with depth and aroma and boldness.
00:59:35Wild winner.
00:59:39Wild winner, Hector Ramirez.
00:59:44Wild winner, Hector Ramirez.
00:59:45Wild winner, Hector Ramirez.
00:59:46Wild winner, Hector Ramirez.
00:59:48Wild winner, Hector Ramirez.
00:59:53However, this competition awards points based on two dishes.
00:59:58Now, as per the rules, the overall winner is the chef whose dishes most faithfully reflect their restaurant's identity and
01:00:11mission.
01:00:21Your winner, by cumulative decision, is...
01:00:34You're a winner, Corinne's Corner!
01:00:49What?
01:00:50This is random.
01:00:52I beg your pardon.
01:00:55I don't care, you're embarrassing yourself.
01:00:58You're a man!
01:01:07Whoa, whoa!
01:01:10This is my town!
01:01:11You're nothing without me!
01:01:12Not anymore!
01:01:14This clown!
01:01:15Security, remove it!
01:01:16I found it! Get off me! Get off!
01:01:18This is my town!
01:01:35Yikes.
01:01:38Um...
01:01:39Listen...
01:01:40He didn't deserve me, and...
01:01:44You two didn't...
01:01:46deserve...
01:01:47what I did.
01:01:48Um...
01:01:49I'm...
01:01:49so ashamed of all the things that I said and I let happen, and...
01:01:54I'm really, really sorry, Troy.
01:01:58I forgive you.
01:01:59Yeah.
01:02:04And...
01:02:04I'm happy for you two.
01:02:07Truly.
01:02:14That feels better than a victory.
01:02:17I'll take the words right out of my mouth.
01:02:25Chef Corinne.
01:02:28Chef Troy.
01:02:30I need to thank you.
01:02:32And I'm sorry for being part of all the shit Julian pulled.
01:02:37Tonight...
01:02:38I cooked who I really am.
01:02:41That dish...
01:02:42It was my abuela's love.
01:02:44For the first time in my life, I felt like a real chef.
01:02:48This is exactly what I saw when you first started working with me.
01:02:52I'm glad you found your way back.
01:03:04This whole experience made me realize the kind of chef I need to be.
01:03:08Then you're on the right path.
01:03:11Now I gotta go make sure my abuela didn't throw away all her old recipes.
01:03:21Yes!
01:03:22Damn!
01:03:23That food ran in here like his ass is on fire!
01:03:26What's the problem with that was all they did?
01:03:27It's unpredictable.
01:03:29I don't think that's what happened, Bert.
01:03:30You never know.
01:03:32So...
01:03:33Now what?
01:03:47The chef behind?
01:03:49Table 12's up.
01:03:50Let's move.
01:03:52Hmm.
01:03:55Hi.
01:03:56I'll take your line.
01:04:01Hi.
01:04:08Hi.
01:04:09Do you have a delivery for Chef Corinne Miller?
01:04:14Go ahead.
01:04:19Oh my God.
01:04:20What is it?
01:04:23We did it.
01:04:36Sorry, I only kissed my girlfriend.
01:04:40So, do you want to be my girlfriend?
01:04:42Yes, I'll be your girlfriend.
01:04:46Now kiss me.
01:04:58Closer to the fire.
