Dishing Up Love (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

(light music)

(music continues)

(knife thudding)

(pan sizzling)

(music continues)

Mm.

(music continues)

[Jo] Chef?

Yes, good.

Serge, can I get that beurre blanc?

I got it, I got it.

Is the cod ready?

This is for Mr. Thompson, is that right?

Yep.

[Bree] I think he'll like that.

Gives me PTSD just watching you.

Wait, why isn't Alan taking this out?

He quit.

On account of his paycheck bouncing.

Oh.

(objects clattering) (glass shatters)

Oh, no!

(music continues)

(water splashing)

(music fades)

(sighs) That was good (chuckles).

Mm.

Hey.

(group laughs)

Oh, mm.

Dessert (laughs).

Can't let these go to waste.

How sweet of you.

It was nothing, just

leftover from dinner service.

Liar.

This is why you can't pay your bills.

Shh.

What is this?

If Bree made it, it's amazing.

(all chuckling)

It's creme brulee

and it's really fun to eat.

Grab your spoons,

and you're gonna go

tap, tap, tap on the top.

Okay (laughs).

Mm.

(group laughs)

Fancy food is cool.

Right?

Thanks for coming in you guys.

I'll be in there to help you in a minute.

Take your time.

(Rosemary laughs)

We didn't have this in the Marines.

Oh, what about bedtime?

I know they had that in the Marines.

It was Daddy's idea.

Well, yeah.

And I can do what I want now.

Oh, is that so?

Yeah, I got a promotion, remember?

To what?

To stay at home dad.

Yeah, that's right, Son.

Well, you know, if we have another baby,

he or she will be commander in chief

and you will be on KP

duty all day, all night.

I'll take that.

(both laughing)

All right, here we go.

(all cheering)

Hey, good job today, Serge.

Thanks, Boss.

(Bree chuckles)

Livin' the dream.

(all chattering)

- Oh!

- I'm always

a little short.

[Rosemary] Was that you?

(group chattering)

[Terrence] You got it?

Okay (yawns), I'm outta here.

Wait, why isn't Phil doing this?

(sighs) I told him to go home early.

I didn't want him to

risk going into overtime.

All right, I got the mail.

Do you want me to stick it in the office?

Anything good?

Oh, the usual.

Bills with a side of bills.

You know, if we don't pay our suppliers,

they won't bring us ingredients.

I like the farmer's market better.

(Rosemary chuckles)

Okay.

(playful music)

(knife thudding)

(music continues)

(both laughing)

Do you feel better?

I should do this to all

those fancy certifications

and awards I've earned.

It's not like they bring in customers.

People don't care about that stuff.

All they care about is what their friends

are saying on social media.

We should post this.

(Bree laughs)

You know, I've been thinking

maybe we should do a channel,

maybe showcase the food.

Maybe we should.

But I hate social media.

Besides, I am terrible on camera.

You would be amazing on camera.

But I'm too tired to argue for the moment.

I'm going home.

You go to bed.

Yeah (sighs).

(light music fades)

(Bree yawns)

(gentle music)

(water splashing)

(Bree yawns) (toothbrush whirring)

(Bree sighs)

(cat meowing) (reflective music)

(cat whining)

(Bree sighs)

I don't have time for a pet, cat.

But you can have this leftover Pacific cod,

and it can't be a regular thing (sighs).

You silly kitty.

(Bree sighs)

(phone ringing)

Oh.

Ugh.

(phone beeps)

[Nathaniel] Hello.

Nathaniel, hi (laughs).

I'm so sorry we haven't been able to talk.

I miss you so much.

(Nathaniel speaking indistinctly)

Oh, tomorrow night?

(Nathaniel speaking indistinctly)

Oh, I can't.

We're short staffed and I gotta work pretty

much all the dinners,

but I can't wait to make you my new-

(Nathaniel speaking indistinctly)

Breakfast?

(Nathaniel speaking indistinctly)

[Bree] Yeah, there's a greasy spoon

across the street from my place-

(Nathaniel speaking indistinctly)

- Seven?

- Yeah.

Okay.

That's like a few hours

from now (chuckles).

Okay, yeah.

Seven, awesome.

Seven sharp.

Okay.

I can't wait to see you...

All right, see you then.

Bye.

Hm.

(phone whooshing)

(Bree sighs) (gentle music)

(Bree groans)

(music continues)

(Bree yawns)

(knife thudding) (music continues)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(Bree laughs) (playful music)

(Bree sighs)

(music continues)

(Bree sighs)

(messages whooshing)

(music continues)

(upbeat music)

(phone chimes)

(anticipatory music)

(Bree sighs)

Sweetie, you sure you

don't wanna order something?

There's a whole lotta love in that menu.

Uh, uh...

(door chimes)

[Nathaniel] Hey.

[Bree] Nathaniel!

[Nathaniel] Sorry I'm late.

I got stuck - Hi, sweetheart.

[Nathaniel] at the gym again (sighs).

[Wilma] I'll give you

two minute to decide.

Oh, no, no, no, I'm ready.

Diner menus, they're all

the same, right (smirks)?

Okay, yes.

I will have the low carb option

for the Syrup Falls Waffle Tower.

Sweetie, that's got more

carbs than Candy Land.

There is no way around it.

Oh, okay (chuckles).

Places I usually eat at

have low carb options for

everything, but that's cool.

What do you have that's all natural?

That's easy.

That's our sausage

skillet made with fresh pig.

And vegetarian?

Okay, how about some

homemade shredded wheat

with fresh whole milk?

Well, at least that's

lactose free, but whoa, gluten!

Hello (chuckles)!

Look, I just need something

that's healthy and low calorie.

I'm in training.

How 'bout water?

It's okay, Wilma.

Just get him two eggs over

easy, little salt and pepper,

some avocado on the side,

and grapefruit juice to drink.

We can do that.

And for you, sweetie?

Tea and toast.

We can do that.

- Thank you.

- I'll be right back.

Hm, babe.

What am I gonna do without you?

Without me?

(anticipatory music)

Yeah.

(Nathaniel sighs)

(John chuckles) (knife thudding)

And then he broke up with me.

What?

He broke up with you?

Okay, that's completely

wrong and totally backwards.

Well, technically he said he

wanted space to contemplate,

not to mention he was

completely embarrassed

because everyone at the firm

brings our significant others

to the parties and he has to hang out

with the lowly paralegals

because I don't have time for him (sighs).

Easy with the produce.

So, how do you feel?

Hurt, angry.

But not sad?

Maybe after I'm done feeling angry.

Can I tell you secret?

What?

I couldn't stand that stuck up jerk.

(laughs) That's not a secret.

(Rosemary chuckles)

Maybe Nathaniel's right.

I don't have time for a relationship.

This is my dream, isn't it?

I mean, I've worked so hard for this.

I finally have my own restaurant.

I know my food is good.

And people would come from miles around

if they knew about it,

which is why we have

to get Zaz Yum in here.

(sighs) Why would Zaz come here?

I mean, he's more about

fashion than food, isn't he?

Who cares?

All we have to do is post a video

of a happy customer

every night for 30 days.

If we get more votes than

the other restaurants in town,

then Zaz will come here.

Millions of people will see his videos.

Okay.

Do you want Pizza Pro

Go to win the contest?

[Bree] Is that even food?

Exactly.

It's this simple.

You win the contest, Zaz comes here.

You rock his world with your

ninja culinary skills (laughs).

You do a video with him that blows up.

You get enough people

in here to pay your bills.

You hire more people, you get more sleep.

You find a man, settle down.

Are you even listening to me, girl?

Where did he get those tomatoes?

The farmer's market was totally out.

(playful music)

Where are you going?

Okay, I guess I'll carry

these in by myself!

(Rosemary scoffs)

(music continues)

Excuse me.

Hi.

I'm Bree.

Hey, I'm John.

John of John's Place.

(both chuckling)

Great to meet you.

[Bree] Maison de Reves across the street,

that's my restaurant.

Yeah.

Yeah, I thought I recognized you.

You guys moved in a couple months ago.

Maison de Reves.

Means house of dreams, right?

Yeah.

Sorry I haven't been over there yet.

A little worried about the dress code.

Oh, we don't have a dress code.

Oh.

Well, you might wanna let people know.

Sort of seems like the place

you have to dress up for.

(gentle music)

Well, these tomatoes,

do you mind if I ask

you where you got them?

The farmer's market was completely out.

And I really need to get

my etouffee simmering.

(sighs) Yeah, I have a secret supplier.

(chuckles) A secret supplier?

Oh, yeah.

Produce, meats, dairy, you

name it, but it is top secret.

Look, I need every advantage I could get,

if we're gonna be competitors.

(chuckles) Competitors?

Yeah.

(customers chattering)

Well, our clientele might not be the same,

but that 30 days Zaz

Yum social media thing,

you heard about it, right?

Yeah.

So, he's comin' here.

And that is a lot of

publicity, which let's face it,

we could both probably use.

And I don't know,

I was thinkin' that maybe we

could compare notes sometime.

Chef to chef.

"Chef to chef?"

Yeah, I mean, didn't

go to culinary school,

but hey, you can't learn

everything in a classroom.

(chuckles) Well, you can,

at the top restaurants

in Paris and New York

from the best chefs in the world,

which is where I trained.

Touche.

But the proof is in le pudding.

I've been to fancy restaurants before.

Whole bunch of style, not much flavor.

(playful music)

Well, I've seen your menu.

A whole lot of options (chuckles).

Now, about these tomatoes.

Can I please buy them off you?

I really need to get my etouffee going.

Um,

no.

But I offer them to you in

advance as a consolation prize.

Consolation prize?

I haven't even decided if

I'm gonna do the contest.

Oh (laughs), you can't possibly beat me.

Come on.

Organic, non GMO, handpicked with care.

Think about your etouffee.

Thanks.

All right and hey,

don't put this in the fridge.

It'll stop the full flavor from comin' in.

Thanks for the tip.

(gentle music)

(sighs) "Chef to chef."

Yeah right (chuckles).

"Oh, it's New York.

Best chefs in the world."

Chef, the burger flipper.

Chef, the deep fryer operator (chuckles).

All cumin, paprika.

Paprika.

Paprika.

No paprika.

Substitution time.

(music continues)

Mm.

Oh, yeah.

Not bad for a local yokel.

"Consolation prize."

Hey, what's in etouffee?

(music continues)

(record player whirring)

(light music)

All right, how's the food?

Mm.

This is seriously the

best chili I've ever eaten.

Thank you, Sal.

Gus, how 'bout you?

This is a bowl of wonder.

And I think it made me a better man.

Gus, I'm truly touched.

You know what?

I'm gonna name this after you.

Gus's Chili.

Oh, thanks (chuckles).

(chuckles) Hey, I'll take this.

All right, so that's day one

of the Zaz Yum Challenge.

Gus's Chili and Cornbread at John's place.

Nothin' fancy, nothin' pretentious.

And no dress codes, just

tasty food that you can eat.

Hope to see you here, Zaz.

We have to do this every day for 30 days?

Good thing I'm quittin'.

"Me lady doth protests

too much me thinks."

(music fades)

(phone chiming) (anticipatory music)

(gentle music)

(singer vocalizing) (music continues)

Mm.

Okay.

Now, remember, this is a live stream,

so when I hit go, people

will be watching online.

Yeah, okay.

Let's do it.

We can just edit it

later, right (chuckles).

No, Bree, are you

listening to what I'm saying?

Live stream.

We can't edit it.

Oh yeah, right.

Okay. Yeah.

They are loving it.

You look hot.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

Mm.

Here she comes.

Thank you for dining with us tonight.

I'm the chef (chuckles).

I'm the chef.

Bree?

Bree Summers.

I'm the chef, Bree Summers

(chuckles nervously).

How are the tartines?

Marvelous.

So good.

[Bree] Great, and you, good Sir?

Fabulous.

You can tell the baguette's

house made (chuckles).

And the bechamel parmesan cream.

- Thank you.

- And the garlic drizzle.

- Oh my goodness.

- Mm.

Yes.

Thank you.

[Diners] Mm.

And that's our first post

in the 30 day challenge.

It's tartines guerriere and

we're at the Maison de Reves,

and we look forward... The tomato!

It's so fresh and exploding with flavor.

That makes it.

- That makes it.

- The tomatoes.

No, Bree, honey.

You can't.

Come here.

We are live.

People are watching everything you do.

You can't do the neck thing.

(Bree sighs) (playful music)

Hey, thanks so much for doing this.

Our pleasure.

The tomatoes.

Yes.

You know, I marinated those

in my special vinaigrette and then-

Where do they come from?

They're amazing.

Yeah, evidently that's top secret.

(anticipatory music)

Look, next time you

gotta spice it up a little.

I'm not a Tic Tac star.

(sighs) Okay.

Oh, look, you've got likes already.

Oh, brother.

Wait, let me see.

(hearts popping) (music continues)

(Bree chuckles) (comments popping)

(Rosemary chuckles)

Here at the Maison de Reves

we have highly trained chefs,

unlike the typical greasy spoon.

So, we know how to customize ingredients

for customers who have dietary needs.

For instance, Mayor Clark's etouffee

from the Creole menu, we

swapped the peanut persillade

with roasted spiced almonds.

That's right.

Those little peanuts would k*ll me.

And for his dessert, we

have a tarte au mousse noisette

aut lait chocolate but we made it

with carob instead of chocolate.

Yeah, because unfortunately

the chocolate would k*ll me too.

But this carob version is incredible.

Thank you.

And we also have a large variety

of handcrafted sparkling ciders

for guests who don't drink alcohol.

(cider splashing) (Bree exclaims)

(John laughs)

(hearts popping) (light music)

(laughing continues) (food sizzling)

Is that supposed to be well done?

Oh, hey, do you like her?

(gentle music)

(knife thudding)

So, looks like I'm ancienne.

You are not.

Yes, I am.

No, you are not.

What, are you tired or something?

Well, not yet but-

Rosemary, you are not old.

You look amazing.

Did you not hear what I just said?

I'm pregnant.

Oh, you mean on enceinte.

It's with a T.

Wait a minute, you're pregnant!

Congratulations!

(laughs) Thank you.

Is it a boy or girl?

Oh, I don't know, we just found out.

Twins, triplets?

Do I need to explain some things to you?

We just found out (chuckles).

(laughs) When are you due?

Six or seven months we think.

Speaking of, I'm going to

need some maternity leave.

Absolutely, of course.

And a raise.

Totally.

But you know, you don't

have to get pregnant

just to ask for a raise.

(Rosemary chuckles)

Besides, when this place takes off.

I was hoping to make you general manager,

and then you'd be my boss.

Unless of course that's not gonna work

with growing your family?

Yeah.

Gotta draw the line somewhere, right?

Besides, you know what?

I already boss you

around plenty (chuckles).

That's true.

So, is the plan moving forward

to have Terrance keep doing

the stay at home dad thing?

Yeah.

It's been a hard

transition, but he's a fighter.

He could have a million careers right now,

but he's really lovin' staying home.

He's got this Marine dad thing goin' on.

It's kinda hot.

You should see him

during chore time at home,

yelling orders.

The kids love it.

(chuckles) I am just

so happy for you both.

- Thank you.

- Mm hm.

All right.

All right, all right, all right.

Back to work. (Bree sighs)

We've got hungry customers.

I mean, not many, but they're hungry.

(Rosemary chuckles)

(gentle music) (knife thudding)

(door creaking)

Oh, very pretty.

(Bree chuckles)

Whatever that is (chuckles).

Is that edible?

Of course.

Huh.

Well, it is for a refined or

at least adventurous palette.

Oh.

So, what can I do for you?

Well, I'm looking for something

for an amazing new entree I'm working on.

What about your secret supplier?

I thought they had everything?

Well, they don't grow kebab skewers.

(laughs) I think we

have some in the back.

So, go and ask Serge and

then that makes us even.

Refined and adventurous, eh?

(gentle music)

(music continues)

(heart pops)

All right.

I cook from the heart.

Basically, you get to

know me by eating my food.

Try it.

(door opens) (anticipatory music)

- Hey, Boss.

- Hi.

Here you go.

Let's see.

(anticipatory music)

Hm.

Wow, Serge, this is really good.

I mean, it's a little down home,

but we could do a deconstructed version.

When did you come up with this?

Not me.

John, the guy across the street.

He's pretty cool.

He said he paid for the

kebab sticks with the recipe,

that you'd want me to make it for you.

Okay.

Thanks.

Well, lemme know if

you want it on the menu.

Oh!

Mm.

Mm.

Tastes refined and adventurous to me.

(Bree chuckles)

(chuckles) Thanks, Wilma.

Zaz, you cannot resist these kebabs decked

with the freshest zucchini,

peppers, and onions.

Lightly roasted, oozing with flavor.

- Oh, hey Boss?

- Mm.

[Serge] We're running

outta cucumbers and onions,

so unless you want me to

get that from the grocery store,

we're gonna have to take

a few things off the menu.

(playful music)

(Bree groans)

[Rosemary] (sighs) Kinda slow today.

Yeah.

So, where are Terrance and the kids?

I thought they were comin' in for lunch.

The kids wanted burgers (chuckles).

I can make them burgers.

It's just can't get any

fresh lettuce to put on them.

(Bree sighs)

Wait.

Where are they eating?

(playful music)

Terrance wouldn't dare.

I'll seat you two in a second.

(Terrence laughs)

Hey, gorgeous.

Honey, you knew we

are in direct competition

with this place and we

get 75% off at Bree's.

Still cheaper (chuckles).

Hey, Bree.

- You're in trouble.

- (Chuckles) Oh!

Oh, hey Rosemary.

You're just in time.

I like to call this the

sumptuous siege engine!

(Terrence chuckles)

[Terrence] You made this, dude?

What else is wood shop for?

Who wants to try it?

[Kids] Me!

Oh, hey! (Bottle shatters)

Andrew.

(laughs) It's no problem.

The battle has begun.

I'll get the mop.

No, no, no, no, you

don't, Wilma, I got it.

You clean this up and you're fired.

You can't fire me.

I'm quitting, tomorrow.

She always says that.

(Terrence chuckles)

All right, so what you wanna do

is you wanna load this up

with one of these donut holes,

fresh donut holes made right

here mind you, just like this.

And then you take a

dollop of this amazing cream

that was milked from a

cow, literally this morning.

Like this.

And then you let it rip.

John, no.

They're gonna make a mess.

Recipe development.

Plus these are aerodynamic donuts.

You can't miss.

Terrance, back me up here.

Babe, the man knows what he's doing.

All right, come on.

Let me have it.

(gentle music)

Oh!

(all laughing)

You shot it all over my head.

Do I have cream in my hair?

[Kids] No.

What do you think, Rosemary?

Bree can top that?

I think so.

(all laughing)

(gentle music)

Mm.

I sure am glad you put

up that no dress code sign.

We wouldn't have dared

to come in here without it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the food.

So that is day 11, Zaz.

And I think you will love the bourguignon

just as much as Gus and Sal.

And cut.

(Rosemary laughs)

Wow, you are gettin' good at this, girl.

Thank you.

(gentle music)

He hasn't posted a video tonight.

Oh, I don't think he's

getting any customers.

If he doesn't post a video,

he's gonna get disqualified.

Oh.

(playful music)

(music continues)

(Bree sighs)

(Bree chuckles)

(playful music)

What?

You like him.

(scoffs) I do not.

(sighs) He'd never let me live it down

if I won on a technicality.

(music continues)

(gentle music)

(Bree sighs)

Duck con fit with a side of ajus.

(cat meows)

There you go. (Cat purring)

Goodnight, um,

Pookie.

Goodnight, Pookie.

Your Creole special that you

want on the menu tomorrow.

Thanks.

(dramatic music)

No.

No.

It's not your fault, Serge.

Oh, secret supplier!

I told you.

(door creaking)

Honey, what's wrong?

It's not fair.

I can't run a restaurant

without fresh ingredients.

(playful music)

What happened to her?

I made her gumbo with veggies

from the supermarket and out of a can.

I guess she didn't like it.

(music continues)

Hey, honey.

Somethin' wrong?

Oh no, I'm just lookin' for John.

Oh, he left a second ago.

Really?

And where did he go?

He went to get fresh produce.

(sighs) And do you know where that is?

I'm sworn to secrecy.

Wilma.

But if you were to head out on Highway 6,

you might catch up with him.

Thanks, Wilma (laughs).

(upbeat music)

(music continues)

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Hey, is this the chef of Maison de Reves?

John?

I think congratulations are in order.

What are you talking about?

You finally took the lead

in our little competition.

What do you mean?

You're winning.

You have more likes than me.

I guess my steak and french fries

was no match for real French cuisine.

(Bree scoffs)

But I'm gonna make a

comeback with some mean gumbo.

Gumbo?

Well, it's not exactly French,

so I didn't think you'd mind.

(Bree sighs)

(anticipatory music) (engine rumbling)

(chuckles) Hey, so I thought it'd be fun

if I just took a little

drive to the country.

You're in your car, right?

Yes, Ma'am.

So, what's the scenery

like where you're at?

I don't know, a couple of farms.

There's a little pond

nearby with some trees.

Oh yeah, the pond.

That was on Highway 6, right?

Or was it Field Stone?

Field Stone?

Yeah.

Right, exactly.

Was that east or west?

West.

Hey, you know what?

We should do a picnic.

You know, you really

shouldn't drive too fast

on those country roads (chuckles).

So, where are you now?

(gate creaking)

Oh, you know, just running an errand.

(engine rumbling)

(upbeat music)

Hey, your video with

the Mayor was pretty epic.

Yeah, I noticed a little scripting

in your video with Wilma.

Are you allowed to use employees?

Oh, so you do watch my videos, huh?

Well, I watched that one.

It was cute.

Wilma was cute in the video.

So, you ever find a

place to get your produce?

You know, recipe and

skill in the kitchen are great,

but without fresh ingredients,

you might find yourself

in second place again.

I may be closing in

on a great new supplier.

Oh, yeah?

(dramatic music)

Woo!

Ugh, John, you're totally cheating.

It's not fair!

Whether or not I win this

competition, which I will,

I still need to be able to make my food.

(horn honking)

I've had to pull some of

my best dishes off the menu.

Now, who is your secret supplier?

(John laughs)

(music fades)

Relax, relax.

I was gonna tell you eventually.

Okay, so tell me.

All right, but I really do need

every advantage I could get,

and she doesn't sell much commercially.

Who?

(sighs) Grandma.

(gentle music) (birds chirping)

(chuckles) This is your Grandma's farm?

It's amazing!

Yep.

It's more like a really big garden.

Few acres is all.

It's for sale.

Yeah, she wants to travel the world

or colonize Mars or move to Hawaii.

She hasn't really decided yet,

but her bag's been packed for months.

Why don't you buy it?

Nah.

I think I'd get too lonely out here.

Come on.

(gate creaks) (music continues)

(gate creaks)

(music continues)

[Bree] I guess I can't entirely blame you

for keeping this a secret.

(chuckles) Yeah, I think the

local farms had a tough year,

so that's why the market's been so empty.

So, me and some of the local boys decided

to help Grandma keep things runnin'.

[Bree] So, did you grow up here?

Yeah.

I was a fat little happy kid

runnin' down these exact rows.

Farm to table is really epic.

More like farm to mouth.

(Bree laughs)

[Bree] So, what about your parents?

They are physics professors back east.

Yeah, and my two sisters live over there,

so Mom and Dad get to squish

on their grandkids whenever they want.

(chuckles) And you stayed here?

Yeah.

To be clear, I don't live

here with my grandmother,

I do have my own place.

I actually went to college

for a few years and then I came back.

[Bree] What did you study?

Carpentry and theater.

(Bree laughs) (John chuckles)

You're an actor?

Oh, yeah.

Started off by building sets

and then got cast in a few small roles

and then some bigger ones.

Almost went for a career in it.

(Bree chuckles)

But there's this one time

when I had all the actors over

to run lines and people got hungry.

They sent me into the

kitchen to make a snack.

I came back out with a snack

and they loved it so much they kept sendin'

me back in the kitchen.

To be honest, I loved it too.

Now, my parents weren't thrilled

that I dropped outta

school, but I don't know.

I think there's a future in bringing

everything I love around the table.

Get in there.

- Mm.

- Good, right?

Mm.

(Bree exclaims)

Now, that's how it should be.

(John chuckles)

Hey, grab me that basket.

What are we doing?

I'm gonna make you lunch.

Wait, shouldn't we be getting back?

Oh, come on.

There's no lunch rush in this town.

Besides, I may have snuck

into your restaurant to eat a few times.

Now, it's time you try my food.

Well, do I get to meet your grandmother?

Oh, you can't avoid it.

(Bree laughs)

(bright music)

(music continues)

(tomato squelching)

(music continues)

Oh my goodness!

- This must be the chef!

- Yeah.

Oh, it's so nice to meet you.

Come in, come in.

- I'm Grandma.

- Hi.

And you can call me Grandma.

[Bree] Oh, hi Grandma.

I'm so happy he finally got

the nerve to invite you over.

(Bree laughs)

What are we making?

We're makin' chicken pot pie.

Oh, I love it, it's so delicious.

- Will you join us?

- Oh, thank you.

I would love to, but I'm

just gonna let you guys eat.

But I'm gonna keep a

good eye on you (laughs).

Oh, Bree, how about if we

have you chop the vegetables?

Mm hm.

And Johnny, let's

have you do the pie crust.

All right.

I just had this flour milled.

It's so delicious (laughs).

It's my favorite flour ever.

(John laughs)

I'm gonna go out and slaughter Henrietta.

(dramatic music)

(laughs) Don't worry,

Henrietta's a chicken.

I promise we're not murderers.

(all laughing)

All right, thanks Grandma.

[Grandma] See you in a bit.

(playful music)

I love her.

She's a force of nature.

(laughs) So, is this where

you learned to cook, with Grandma?

Yep.

Wow.

And what about Grandpa?

He died a few years back.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, this must have been a

wonderful place to grow up.

Indeed, it was (chuckles).

(light music)

(music continues)

So, what about you?

I read your bio and a few

magazine articles about you.

Talks a lot about your food,

but not your family or why you cook.

So, my parents work

for some internet consulting

something (chuckles),

for big companies around the world.

And they took me on their jobs.

And since we were traveling all the time,

we basically ate out every meal (laughs).

But at the best restaurants,

the most amazing food vendors.

It was kind of a game that

the three of us played together.

Like, "Oh, where should we eat next?"

Or we would try exotic or like weird food

and give each other bites

and then do funny critiques.

But when they got divorced,

I guess those good

times just stuck with me.

So, it was natural that I

wanna become a chef.

So, why set up shop in this little town?

I just thought it'd be cool

if people didn't have to go to the big city

to get fine French cuisine (chuckles).

And honestly, here,

I don't feel like things are temporary.

That's awesome.

I'm glad you're here.

All right, stop slackin'.

Toss me one of those eggs.

(egg cracks) (Bree gasps)

Oh (laughs)!

Did you think it was

hard boiled or something?

Trade ya.

(Bree exclaims)

You are so dead.

(gasps) Oh, oh, oh,

oh, truce, truce, truce.

Grandma's gonna get us in trouble.

(both chuckling)

Here.

There.

Good as new.

Here, look.

Not quite.

(light music)

All right.

Hey, Grandma, where's the cream?

[Grandma] All gone.

Made ice cream last night.

Want some?

Oh, never mind, I ate it all (laughs).

Do you need cream?

I can totally go and get some.

[John] Ah, substitution time.

Sour cream will do the trick.

The recipe, the chemistry,

that's gonna completely change the flavor.

Cream, sour cream.

Close enough.

Still be awesome.

(chuckles) What?

At the places I've worked,

if you swapped ingredients

in the chef's recipe,

you'd be washing dishes for a month.

(splutters) Do it all

the time at the diner.

[Grandma] Johnny, can you

come here please, sweetie?

Just a sec, Grandma.

[Grandma] I've ironed a shirt for you.

(chuckles) Can you top these off

for me and throw 'em in the oven?

No problem.

Thanks.

(Bree sighs)

(gentle music)

(music continues) (pie crust crackling)

Mm.

Mm.

Teamwork.

No, this was all you.

I was the assistant today.

Mm.

Mm.

Sometimes I wonder, does

anyone really care about our food?

I mean, will our customers be just

as happy eating at Pizza Pro Go?

Well, as Shakespeare once said,

"Tis an ill cook that will

not lick his own fingers."

So, if I enjoy eating my own

food, that means it's good?

Look, you and I both know

that if I win this competition,

it'll be a fluke.

You, you're really an artist.

Well, I'm glad we agree on that.

(John chuckles)

You know what you said in your video

about people getting to know

someone through their food?

Do you think that's true?

Well, come on.

You tell me.

You want my honest critique?

Why yes, Chef.

Okay.

Mm.

Perfect buttery flakiness in the crust.

Each ingredient stands on its own.

The chicken is juicy,

but it still has that tasty

sear on the outside.

And mm,

There's a faint scent of freshly cut herbs.

This is up there with any rustic dish

that I've had at any five star restaurant.

Wow.

Thank you.

That means a lot, especially from you.

It's genuine.

Warm.

Surprising.

And refined and adventurous?

Yes, Chef.

[Grandma] Ah, ah, ah.

Too early for dessert.

(both chuckling)

Ah, to Grandma's.

To Grandma's.

(gentle music)

(music continues)

Thank you so much for coming in.

I appreciate it.

Here you go.

Rowan, this is the chef.

She made all of this.

Rowan?

Oh my goodness, what a cool name.

And you know what?

You picked the best dessert.

This is creme brulee and it's really,

really tasty and fun to eat.

Can I have your spoon?

- Yep.

- Okay.

So, this is what you do.

You just hold it up and you're

just gonna go tap, tap, tap-

Chef, I'm sorry to interrupt,

but we need you in the kitchen.

Well, I was just gonna

take just a second.

Serge is really behind.

Look, honey, I just

don't think there's time

for you to be out here with

the customers right now.

Okay, right.

I'm so sorry.

This is Rosemary and

she'll take good care of you.

So, please enjoy the rest of your meal.

Thank you so much.

(chuckles) Hi, how are you?

- Great.

- Oo, creme brulee.

It's one of our favorites.

- What do you think?

- Perfect.

[Rosemary] Awesome,

let me know if you guys

need anything else, okay?

[Customer] Thank you so much.

[Rosemary] Okay. Thank you. Enjoy.

(Bree sighs)

(Bree groans)

(Bree sighs)

(phone beeps)

(Bree gasps)

(Bree giggles)

(messages whooshing) (light music)

(Bree laughing)

(John chuckles) (music continues)

(messages whooshing) (keypads clicking)

(music continues)

(music continues)

Oh.

(soft music)

(Bree chuckles)

(music continues)

(music continues) (Bree chuckles)

(music continues)

(Bree chuckles)

(John laughs) (music continues)

(Bree chuckles)

(Bree sighs)

(John sighs) (music continues)

(Bree groans)

(shop bell rings)

Hi.

Is the owner here?

I'm from the bank and she

missed her appointment today.

Yes, she is here, but she is so busy.

As you can see, the

restaurant is really hoppin'.

(playful music)

But Bree did leave these eclairs for you

and she said she will call

you first thing tomorrow.

(music continues)

Okay.

(shop bell rings)

I'm here to pick up some eclairs.

[Bree] No, not him.

Anyone but him.

He's the only one.

(sighs) But there

are tons of people here.

They are repeat customers

and they've all already done a video.

Hm.

We don't wanna get disqualified

with one week to go,

and we're in the lead.

Poor John.

Poor you!

Literally.

Look, business is picking up,

but it's not enough.

And I don't know if John

wants to win anymore.

His video last night was

of a microwaved hot dog.

(Bree laughs) (Rosemary laughs)

Okay, okay.

So, we win this contest

and then we get busy enough

to hire more help, right?

That's the plan.

But it could take a minute to get there.

It might be crazy for awhile.

All right, okay.

(sighs) Let's get the show on the road.

Okay.

(Bree exhales)

(bright music)

(Bree exhales)

Hi.

Hi.

Showtime, huh?

Yeah.

This was amazing and healthy.

Hey, if you want to eat good and look good,

this is the place.

I should be your mascot.

Okay, thank you. (Nathaniel laughs)

So, Zaz, that about wraps it up,

and we're looking forward to talking-

Listen everybody, she's

beautiful, she's brilliant.

She has mega taste.

She told me about that dump

across the street and she

was right, total crap (chuckles).

I not only have the fortune of being

a longtime customer of Maison de Reves,

but I'm also the boyfriend of the chef.

That's right.

She not only cooks, but

she tastes like fine wine.

Ah!

(Bree exclaiming)

Nathaniel, you are not my boyfriend!

Babe, I just needed

some space to contemplate.

(Bree chuckles nervously)

And I have contemplated.

Yes, well, so have I.

Okay Joe, this man is ready for his check.

Please charge him

extra for being a big jerk.

Rosemary, we can take that again, can't we?

I mean, there's another customer.

No, we can't.

The Zaz app only allows

you to do one video per night.

When did the video cut off?

(air whooshing) (phone chimes)

(Bree gasps)

You know, this restaurant is also famous

for its customer service.

I should hope so.

Joe. (Bree's fingers snapping)

Dessert is on the house.

(playful music)

(Nathaniel gasps) (light music)

(John groans)

(sighs) Do you want me to go over there

and give her a piece of my mind?

(light music)

(phone whirs)

(John sighs)

(soft music)

(music continues)

(upbeat music)

(John sighs)

Hey.

I didn't like that video.

Neither did I.

And it stopped right before

I smashed cake in his face.

You smashed a cake in his face?

(playful music)

Food good?

Just desserts, I guess.

Yeah.

Lunch rush.

(music continues)

(upbeat music) (patrons chattering)

(knives thudding)

(food sizzling) (music continues)

(anticipatory music)

They don't like pesto.

Got ya.

(pan sizzling)

(flames hissing)

The Mayor needs his regular dessert.

Right.

Tarte au mousse noisette avec chocolate,

but with carob, not chocolate.

Kinda busy over here.

(flames crackling)

(pan clattering)

Sorry, Serge.

I got it, I got it.

We need a fillet mignon on table five.

And people are getting impatient out there.

- All right.

- Need a hand?

Yes.

But what about your place?

Everybody's over here.

Okay, I need a carob

mousse on the double.

Everything is over there.

On it.

Thank you.

(anticipatory music)

What's up, Serge?

Hey man, you hiring?

Hey Serge, I'm seeing

any carob back here.

Oh, we might be out.

Substitution time.

(pensive music)

Oh, yeah.

(siren wailing)

Listen, I am so sorry.

At least it tasted good.

Oh.

(music continues)

(John sighs) (somber music)

(siren wailing) (music continues)

He could have died, John.

I know.

I'm sorry.

That's why you ask the chef

before you change an ingredient.

You ask the chef.

There is a reason why

the chef creates the recipe.

That's what they do in a real restaurant.

Do you have any idea

what this is going to do to my business?

To my career?

Bree, come on, he's

gonna be okay, all right?

This will all blow over.

Everybody knows it's my mistake.

It was an accident.

Was it?

Or was this some kind of a weird act

to get me to like you and then sabotage me?

No.

You kept your supplier

secret from me for a long time.

And you saw the video of me with the Mayor

where I specifically

mentioned his food allergy.

Bree, I had no idea that

was gonna be for the Mayor.

All right, you know I

would never deliberately try

to sabotage your restaurant.

You are always teasing

me about being a fancy chef,

but you know what?

You're the arrogant one.

Playing games, giving me

all of your rustic wisdom.

Do you have any idea how

hard I have worked for this?

This is not some greasy

spoon where you can get away

with cardiac arrest every once in awhile

because that's how you roll in Smallville.

Chefs like me

live and die by reputation.

I hear you.

I really am sorry.

I thought you got me.

I do get you.

At least I'm trying to.

(sighs) I was just trying to help.

Don't help anymore.

(shop bell rings)

(clock ticking)

How long will you be closed for?

The food inspector says

that it could be anywhere

from a couple of days

to a couple of weeks.

Apparently it's just standard procedure.

Anytime a customer is hospitalized

due to a food preparation issue.

And you were hoping

for a surge in business

after the social media contest?

Well, sales have been

up the last couple of weeks,

but we did get disqualified

from the Zaz contest.

So, Zaz will have no choice

but to go to the diner across the street,

dooming any chance of

you securing an endorsement

from a popular social media icon.

Can you just give me a little more time?

Just a little more time?

Business is picking up.

We've been doing so well.

Is there somebody we can talk to?

(sighs) I have.

Your eclairs have been

holding the board off for months.

They were impressed with your progress.

But Bree, this was a risky

investment to begin with.

Most restaurants fail in their first year.

You're a brilliant chef,

but that does not make you

a brilliant businesswoman

and that does not connect your demographic

with your product and service.

I'm sorry.

Feel free to have a sucker

on the way out, though.

(dog barking) (gentle music)

(music continues)

Pookie? Pookie?

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Pookie?

(music continues)

Man, he looks almost as bad as you do.

(Bree groans)

Oh well, at least he

still had a Pizza Pro Go.

Oh, not for long. (Upbeat music)

Oh, I am so pathetic.

I've lost my restaurant.

Two boyfriends, and now

Pizza Pro Go is gonna win

this stupid contest (sobs).

Yeah, and I'm out of a job (chuckles).

I'm a failure and I'm

only thinking about myself.

(Bree sobs)

Okay, come on.

[Bree] I'm so sorry, Rosemary.

Come on.

Sometimes when something's taken away,

it just makes us think about

the things that matter most.

That can be a blessing.

Poor Joe and Serge and Phil.

What am I gonna tell them?

Joe is young.

Serge is good.

And Phil can wash dishes anywhere.

(door opens)

Pizza Pro Go?

You traitor.

Okay, you would be a traitor too

if you had to appease

two kids and avoid dishes.

(Bree sighs)

So, what did the banker say?

(sighs) They said that they already

have a buyer for the building,

and they're gonna sell

it before the foreclosure.

But that I still have enough equity

to pay my debts and

have a little bit left over.

Enough to open a new place?

Yeah right, in my living room.

Oh, do I go back to New York?

No, Bree, no.

You are not gonna go back

and work yourself away in those kitchens.

(sighs) I owned my own place.

Okay honey, I got news for you.

You never owned your restaurant.

It owned you.

- No.

- And bombs away.

(Terrence laughs)

We are not doing that in the house.

- High five Samaiah.

- I'll be right back.

Thank you.

I'll miss you.

You've all been amazing,

and here's some extra

week's pay for each of you.

I learned a lot from you, Boss.

You're a very capable chef,

and I've recommended you

for a job at Le Chien Revient.

In New York?

Yes.

Ian is the head chef.

They have an opening there.

I'm interested.

I'll text you his number.

Thanks, Boss.

Good luck.

Thanks.

(light music)

I'll go pack up the office.

(gentle music)

(music continues)

[Jo] Another envelope from John?

(light music)

Sweet.

(shop bell rings) (light music)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(messages popping)

(upbeat music) (all chattering)

Hey, you cheated.

Hey (laughs).

Hey, stop, stop, stop.

This is not restaurant time.

This is family time.

Oh.

Oh my gosh, look at that.

Are you sure?

(Bree laughs)

You spit out the pizza.

No I didn't.

I saw a piece of pizza.

- Dang it!

- Oh, yes!

Take another bite.

(all laughing) (music continues)

(music fades)

(kids chattering)

You didn't tell me it was

gonna be a whole party.

Very sneaky.

Did it work?

Yeah (laughs).

Terrance, why are you so happy?

(sighs) Life's hard.

You win some, you lose some.

You just gotta figure out what's important

and get as many of those things,

including yourself in the

same place at the same time.

Mm.

It's like a recipe.

Mm.

(chuckles) Oo donuts.

(light music)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(music continues)

Oh (laughs)!

(pies sizzling)

[Rosemary] That looks amazing.

[Bree] So, you wanna hear my plan?

I'm just here for the food.

Hi, Pookie.

I know you'll love this one.

(Pookie purrs)

So, what's your big idea?

A restaurant for stray cats?

- I'm moving.

- Okay.

And opening a new restaurant.

[Rosemary] Where?

Out in the country.

I bought Grandma's house.

Well, John's grandma's house.

What?

Your ex true loves Grandma's house,

and this is a good idea?

Yes, it's a great idea,

and I want you to run it with

me and I'm gonna live upstairs

and it sits on a nice piece of land

where I can grow my own produce.

I can raise my own meats.

I can do my own-

Hold on, hold up, hold up, hold up.

I don't understand.

Your nice fancy place tanked,

and you want a mom

and pop shop even further

out in the boonies?

A small farm to table restaurant.

Only three to four tables.

I've run the numbers.

It's way less overhead.

Look, you in the front.

Two of us in the back.

With a little luck, it just might work.

Three to four tables.

I can handle that.

Who are the two in the back?

Well, there's me and me.

Okay, what about Serge?

Oh, he's already on his

way to New York and besides,

we can't afford him.

So, we're already broke?

Yeah, but this really, really is my dream.

I wanna give people amazing

bonding food experiences

and get more than

three hours sleep a night.

And?

And I wanna make space

in my life for, you know...

Say it.

It'll do you good.

Love, family, what you have.

Mm (laughs).

(gasps) This is amazing.

I hope this is going on the menu.

It's John's recipe.

And you just happened to make it?

(gentle music)

I miss him.

Then why don't you talk to him?

My restaurant closed because of him.

And you know that was an accident.

And I had to let people

go because of him.

It was a bad accident.

And no high-end restaurant will touch me

with a 10 foot pole now.

And you don't care about that.

Still, I put so much of

my life into that, Rosemary.

Mm.

Besides, I hurt him.

He probably hates me now.

Then talk to him.

Fine.

(Bree sighs)

"Grandma probably told

you I bought her house."

I'll take good care of it.

I know you probably didn't

mean to ruin my life's work,

AKA the restaurant, even

though it was totally your fault.

I slightly regret some of

the things I said to you.

You are a good chef.

You better beat Pizza Pro Go.

Don't worry about me.

I have a new gig.

Bye.

(message whooshing)

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that's one way to do it.

I was kinda hopin' that you would run down

to his place though, so I

could eat all this by myself.

(Rosemary chuckles)

(John sighs)

(music continues)

(can tapping) (music continues)

(John sighs)

(music continues)

(John splutters)

(upbeat music)

There's been so much going on.

Look at all the trees we've planted.

(music continues)

They're beautiful.

(music continues)

Thanks, Gram.

How could he hate you?

(Bree laughs)

(Bree spluttering)

(upbeat music)

(both chattering)

(Bree sighs)

Okay, so I think it's wide enough,

but I need the hole-

You wanna hit a pipe?

(Rosemary laughs)

Oh my gosh.

She's drivin' me crazy

(laughs) Oh my goodness.

(Terrence grunts)

I got it.

Pookie, Pookie, you like your new home?

How do you like the farm?

(gentle music)

- No, no, we can't.

- No?

Just imagine fresh milk

with the cream (chuckles).

(light music)

Oo, that's a good sign.

- Right?

- Okay.

What are you guys doin', huh?

[Rosemary] Huh?

Oh, nothing.

- Oh.

- We're good.

[Rosemary] That looks amazing.

- So good.

- Keep goin'.

- Beautiful.

- Smooth that out there.

- Right there.

- Great.

- Yep, right.

- Uh huh.

- There?

- Yeah.

Yep, uh huh.

Okay.

So you text him, you tell him to meet...

(gentle music)

(wheelchair rattling)

Hey, Terrence.

What's up, bro?

Where's Wilma?

She finally quit.

Ouch.

Sorry about that, man.

That's all right.

Haven't really been the best boss lately.

She offered to buy the

place and run it herself.

Told me I could be a waiter.

Oh (chuckles).

Hey, you need me to

do the Zaz video tonight?

No thanks, man.

We did it earlier.

Anything else around here to eat?

Sure, pick a table.

[Terrence] All right.

Hey, can I get another one of these?

So, what's she callin' her new place?

Foyer de Reves or somethin'.

(chuckles) Foyer de Reves.

I think you got a chance.

She still talks about you,

but you did mess with

the recipe for the Mayor,

which is a big no-no in the world

of fancy chefs and whatnot.

Yeah, but you gotta understand-

And you almost k*lled the man.

She had to fire all of her

people because of you,

including her best friend, my wife.

And she did have to

close her restaurant due

to a chain reaction of

events chiefly involving you.

(John groans)

Mm, that's some good chili.

Come on, man.

She still likes you.

She wants you to win the contest.

Dude, look, that's unacceptable.

(John sighs)

I don't wanna win the contest anymore.

How come?

Wanna know why I started this place?

Because cooking was fun

and I got to be around

people that I care about.

And now, Terrance, all I

care about is cooking with her.

I know what you need.

- What?

- A battle plan.

Okay.

What?

I don't know.

You just need one.

This some good chili.

Thanks.

(bright music)

(saw whirring)

(sandpaper scratching) (music continues)

(John blows) (music continues)

(gentle music)

Wait, what are you doing?

It's not made of rubber.

[Bree] Whoa!

Where did that come from?

[Rosemary] I don't

know, one of your fans.

It's absolutely perfect.

[Rosemary] Well, yeah, it is.

Can you back up just a sec?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(liquid splashing)

Freshly squeezed.

Mm.

So, what do you think?

I think it's coming together.

And that sign, it's amazing.

Where'd it come from?

Yeah.

You know I had this local

foodie reach out to me.

He said he heard about this place.

Who?

I don't know, some guy.

I think we should get him in here.

Okay.

He wants to come tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night?

We are not open.

We are two weeks from being open.

Yeah, well, stove works, doesn't it?

We got a table, don't we?

Rosemary, that's crazy.

Why?

You said you wanted a place

that felt just like home,

but with better food.

A lot of people have homes like this

and we can sign up for Zaz's competition.

I was disqualified.

And tomorrow's the last day.

We can't win.

Your restaurant was

disqualified, not you.

And there's no rule that

says you can't sign up late.

No, we can't win, but

it'll get us some publicity.

And who knows, maybe this

guy has a legit blog or something.

Anything helps.

Hm.

Okay.

Whatever.

I can cook for one guy.

Let's just do it.

Uh...

Have we fixed the hot water yet?

(playful music)

(upbeat music)

Yo, what's up food

lovers all over the world?

How are y'all doin'?

You still got time to decide

where I'm gonna eat

out there in the heartland.

Pizza Pro Go is moving up on John's Place,

and as far as we know,

John has lost his chef-tacular groove.

Come on, y'all.

You gonna send your boy Zaz

to corporate pizza chain

that cooks with microwaves?

Seriously?

Oh, and check this out.

The girl you all love that

suddenly went out of business?

Well, guess what?

My girl has opened up a new place.

Woo!

So stay tuned y'all, because

anything can happen tonight.

Eat well, peace out.

(upbeat music)

(scoreboard jingling) (anticipatory music)

Oh.

(message whooshing)

(Bree sighs)

(light music)

He's here.

How's it comin'?

(anticipatory music)

We're almost there.

What does he look like?

Kinda weird, goofy (chuckles).

(Bree chuckles)

(soft music)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(singer vocalizing)

[Critic] Mm.

(music continues) (vocalizing continues)

(music continues) (vocalizing continues)

Are you planning on coming out here?

John still hasn't posted yet.

Pizza Pro Go's gonna beat him.

What's the matter?

He could totally crush

them if he wanted to.

Should I go down there

and see what's wrong?

Bree, you have a customer

in your new restaurant.

Will you please get out there?

It's showtime.

Okay, okay.

You look fine.

Well, actually no you don't.

Here.

(upbeat music)

Does that mean we

have to go all the way out

to the boonies just to eat

a fast food pizza chain?

Shh!

Shh!

Okay, that's good.

(anticipatory music)

John!

(gentle music)

What about your restaurant?

He shouldn't be here, Zaz.

Listen everybody, John's Place is amazing.

(laughs) What is going on?

Bree?

We're live.

Rosemary, we need to go down

and do a video for him right now.

(John's throat clears)

I'd like to do my critique

now, if you don't mind?

John, what are you doing?

Well, you're chasing your dream.

Can't I chase mine?

Zaz, simply put, this

is by far the best food

that I've ever eaten.

Now, we started off with

a bisque de crevettes,

which is French for good soup.

(John slurps)

Mm.

Playful and bold.

And then a salad Jardine that was so fresh

it was like discovering

what it is to taste for the first time.

Mm.

Then after a little sorbet

to cleanse the palate,

the adventure continued

onto the main course.

Steak au poivre,

which is French for totally awesome steak.

I could close my eyes with each bite

to explore the paradox of textures.

Mm!

Crispiness, juiciness, meatiness.

Explosions of flavor at every level.

Dang, that looks good.

Zaz, we gotta go there.

Shh.

Should I start booking travel?

(comments ticking)

(comments popping)

Creamy, buttery, savory, peppery.

Poetry.

(comments ticking) (comments popping)

"Oh, she is warm.

If it is magic, let it be an

art as lawful as eating."

"The Winter's Tale," act five, scene three.

Mm.

On to dessert, deceptively simple.

Mm.

It first hit my tongue with a tang

and then burst into a

gentle, silky sweetness.

(chuckles) Is this fruit?

Is this heaven?

The proof Zaz, is in le pudding.

(sighs) Well, thank you, Sir.

Maison des Reves meant house of dreams.

Your new place, Foyer des

Reves means home of dreams.

And I get it.

And there's also something else.

Up until recently, Chef

Bree and I have been

in competition with one another

and I'd like to thank everybody

for the likes and the comments, but...

John's Place is closing tonight.

No, why?

(hearts popping) (anticipatory music)

(comments ticking)

Because my dream is to be here with you.

I think I have an opening

for an unpaid dishwasher.

(John chuckles)

(Rosemary chuckles)

Who's also my sous chef.

Who's also-

(swelling instrumental music)

(all squealing) (hands clapping)

(upbeat music) (phones chimes)

(hearts popping)

(timer buzzing)

(music continues)

Eat well, peace out.

(music fades)

(Grandma laughs)

And what about you?

Well, I'm back from Hawaii,

but I guess off to Tibet next (laughs).

Well, what'd you think?

Well, this beef

bourguignon is transitory.

I feel like my mind, body and spirit

have been carried away to a new dimension.

(Terrence laughs)

[Terrence] That's a good one, Pops.

And I bought 'em out.

Yeah?

It's gonna be called Wilma's Place.

Don't choke.

It's so beautiful.

It's so good!

(pan sizzling) (gentle music)

(music continues)

(wedding bells ringing) (music fades)

Just gimme a bowl and a spoon

And a little bit of honey, baby

Come join me soon

I've been waiting for you, dear

But don't make me wait too long

I'll give you the honey

Oh, so sweet, dear

And everything you need

to make the batter complete

A smile, a squeeze

Because our recipe is so simple

The yummiest recipe is so simple

Just you need for the best recipe
