- [Alice Voiceover] Like
every year, Veggietown,

the vegan district of Paris,

organizes a festival to
celebrate a world without meat.

* It's such a happy day *

* I'm singing a song *
- Woo hoo!

I'm the best!

- I could buy this one to
support a vegan movement.

* How a smile can
change your view *

Yeah!

- [Alice Voiceover] We
were having a good time.

- What if you just start
by not eating meat?

- [Alice voiceover] But
the most important thing,

was the great
ratatouille contest.

And in Veggietown, ratatouille
is taken very seriously.

The recipes are anonymous,

the jury is professional

and the grand prize is $5,000.

Charlie submitted his
recipe to the contest,

but he was stuck
at work that day.

So we were there for him.

- Thank you, and the
grand prize winner is...

- Charlie, Charlie, Charlie!
- Matthew!

Bravo Matthew!

Matthew the chef at the
restaurant, "The Vegan King."

He has been unbeatable
for five years.

Bravo Matthew!

- Thank you, thank
you very much.

It's really tough
to be so talented,

but here I stand again.
So thanks for noticing!

A good ratatouille is
quite simple to make,

I don't know why some
chefs make it so bad.

- Okay good. Thank you,
Matthew, for your speech.

So you're the winner
of the grand prize,

Ow! Of 5,000 euros.

Thank you, Matthew.

Yes, make good use
of it, Matthew.

- [Alice Voiceover]
Who was this guy?

Who could have beaten
Charlie's recipe?

I wanted to know more, so
I tasted his ratatouille.

I could taste the eggplant
marinated in quinoa,

the peppers grilled
in olive oil.

And thanks to my perfect palate,

I dove even closer to Matthew.

I found out who he really was,
and I was completely seduced.

- No, no Alice you can't
fall in love with someone

by tasting their ratatouille.

- For me, it's possible.

I can feel the cooks personality
when tasting their plates.

And that's only because
I have a perfect palate.

- I only trust my gut,

and it's telling me that this
guy is not really your type.

- You heard the speech he made?

He's a self centered show off,
rude and arrogant in my eyes.

- Yeah, we spoke
earlier, he's very weird.

- Hi Charlie.

- Ah.

- Charlie's a pretty name
for a pretty girl like you.

You're magnificent.

How would you like to
come to my restaurant?

And uh, I could show
you my ratatouille.

- Mm, no.

- See you later, Charlie!

- No, you all have a blind spot.

I tasted his ratatouille,
I know who he really is.

Wish me luck, I'll
go talk to him.

- Thank you, you're so sweet.

- Can't wait to come to
your restaurant, thank you.

- Hey Matthew.

- Oh, hey.

- Congrats on winning
- Mm, thanks.

- Your ratatouille
was really delicious.

- Okay.

- I'm Alice.

- Okay Alice, that's
good, thank you.

That's very nice of you to say.

Do you think my speech
was too over the top or-

- No, no, no.

- I was a little stressed,
I hope it wasn't too much.

- No, no, I don't think
so, it was all right.

I would love to know how
you make that ratatouille.

- Hold on. Are you trying
to steal my recipe or what?

- No, not at all.

- [Alice's Friends]
Alice! Alice!

- Alice! We're leaving.

- And you should
forget this guy!

- Nevermind, it's my sister.
She's uh, she's crazy.

- Your sister? Huh. You came
with your family? That's great.

Would you like to meet again

and have a drink tomorrow night?

- Well with pleasure,
Mr. Vegan King.

I know of a great restaurant-

- Okay, okay, okay, cool.
I'll see you tomorrow.

- Bye Matthew! See you tomorrow.

Give me a call!

- What's up foodies!

I just had the worst culinary
experience of my life.

The menu had twelve choices.

That's a sign that they
don't even have a real chef.

They probably just heat up
their food in the microwave.

I bet they went dumpster diving

just to find the
ingredients for my plate.

Ugh, puke!

Basically my foodies,
don't ever go there.

- So what do you think?

Because I'm extremely angry,

and I'm sure she
loved my cooking

because there was nothing
left in her plate.

- So what happened then?

- [Charlie Voiceover] It was
12:42 pm when I discovered

that we had an Instabim
girl having lunch.

- All right foodies, next step,

I'm taking you to this green-

- [Charlie Voiceover]
I warned Pascale

that we have to be careful
with people like her,

that can ruin your restaurant
with just one review.

- Maybe make it free for her,

so that she gives
us a good rating?

[Charlie Voiceover] But
Pascale doesn't know Instabim.

- Are you serious? Everyone
pays here. That's it.

- [Charlie Voiceover] But
when Miss Rachel Cocktail

tried to get a free meal-

- Hello Miss, I'm
Rachel Cocktail.

I have 5 million
followers on Instabim.

- Yeah, it will be 35 euros.

- [Charlie Voiceover]
And worst of all,

she was quite persistent.

- No, let me explain.

I can basically offer
you free advertising,

uh, the other restaurants
have been able to-

- You have to pay!

You know what we do to
thieves in my village?

We cut off their hands!

- Okay, here's 40 euros.

- [Charlie Voiceover]
There you go.

- Don't worry, she
wasn't targeting you.

She just wanted to
get back at Pascale.

- Yes, people like
her are so ridiculous.

- Yes, and you know
all videos on Instabim

disappear after a while.

- Come on guys. Are you
kidding? This is terrible.

- Yeah, exactly right!

I can't let her make
fun of me like that.

I'll bring her back
for a free meal.

- [All friends] No, no, no.

- Yes, yes! I'll invite her back

and I'll prepare my
gourmet menu for her.

It'll knock her socks
off, I'm sure of it.

- No, it's a bad idea.

- Yes. It's a very good idea!

- Maybe I could be an
influencer like Rachel Cocktail.

I have 30 followers on
Instabim. Not bad huh?

- Yeah, blah.

But what happened with the
Vegan King at the park?

How was he? Were we right?

- No, you were wrong. I
have a date with him later,

and I believe it's going
to be a great night.

- For real?

- Yeah, look!

- "Would you like
to go on a picnic?

I want to get to
know you better."

Ha, the picnic technique.

Oh man. Oh wait! He
just wrote you again.

- What does it say?

- "Can you prepare the
picnic? I'm really busy.

Buy some hummus too,
but not the bean kind."

Okay, maybe he's
not that romantic.

He invites you out, then he
asks you to prepare the picnic?

- Well, what do you know
about romance anyway?

Nothing... There we go.

- Uh, more than you, okay!

- Miss Rachel Cocktail, hello
and thank you for coming.

Instead of the usual,

today, we're pleased to
offer you our gourmet menu,

specially concocted for
our prestigious guests.

I'd like to present you
with the "Ocean Garden."

It is created from a
basket of shellfish,

accompanied by seafood with-

- Okay you can go.

- All right, bon appetit.

- Hey Charlie, I have
another idea to scare her

if she doesn't pay.

We spray her with mayonnaise.

Mayo of doom. Isn't it great?

- Mm-hmm.

- [Charlie] Oh, Pascale,

I think someone is
trying to steal your car.

- What? I'll take care
of it, don't worry.

- Oh yeah, you should go.
And take your time, huh?

Some bread?

Some wine?

Doing all right?

A warm towel?

- I'm fine, thanks.
I'm finished.

So, how much do I owe you?

- Oh no, no, no, it's
on the house of course.

- Thank you, bye.

- Apologies for the other day,

compliments of the house!

Have a good day! And
don't forget the rating!

- [Alice Voiceover] That day,

I was 30 minutes
early for my date,

but Matthew was 30 minutes late.

- [Matthew] Hi Alice.

- [Alice Voiceover]
When he finally arrived.

- [Matthew] Hey, so I
don't have much time,

I have a basketball
game afterwards.

- Ah.

- [Matthew] Shall
we eat? I'm hungry.

- [Alice] Okay.

- [Alice Voiceover] Despite
getting off on the wrong foot,

I was thrilled to be there.

It was time for me to get to
know my obvious soul mate.

- Do you know all I
can do with a carrot?

After a while, you have
to accept being the best.

Carrots cost nothing, so you
increase profits and that's it.

It's for peasants.

I won't say I'm lucky.

It's nice to have fans, but
you know, that's not quite a-

What matter most is .

I often hear that my zucchini

is stronger than everybody.

You know when you're a chef,
I mean, looking at vegans-

- Yeah.

- [Alice Voiceover]
Matthew spoke a lot.

- Yes, it's true, I-

- Ah ah, shh. I'm
not finished yet.

- [Alice Voiceover]
A lot of himself.

In the end, the picnic
was void of all romance.

I had to do something.

- [Matthew] That I have
a strong personality.

Whoa, there's a
misunderstanding here.

Am I showing something?

The thing is, I just
thought we could be friends.

No, because actually, I'm
into your sister, Elza?

And the other day she left
without giving me her number.

So I thought maybe you
could give it to me

and you could set us up?

- Wait, hold on.

All of this tonight,

it was just to get
in my sister's pants?

- Well, yeah.

- My sister was
right, you're a jerk.

And you stink carrot!

- See you around.
With your sister!

- [Rachel] What's up foodies?

So do you remember that
restaurant La Galopin?

Well, the chef invited
me this afternoon

and let me just confirm,
my little foodies,

that it is the worst
restaurant on earth!

Never go there, it makes
me wanna puke. Ugh!

- I hate this girl! I hate her!

- [Alice Voiceover] How
could I have been so wrong

about Matthew? I have
the perfect palate.

There must be something wrong.

I couldn't stop
thinking about it.

The only possible conclusion
was, yes, of course.

I'm allergic to ratatouille,
or even maybe to vegan cuisine.

If so, this is serious.

I need to put it to the test.

I need to try a vegan dish.

The problem was, I didn't
really know where to go,

so I hired a guide.

- Welcome everyone.

Thank you for choosing
"Hugo Adventures."

Today, we are going to
discover Veggietown,

and its incredible
world of gastronomy.

The tour will last two hours.

So if you have any questions,
do not interrupt your guide.

- But, Hugo, all I need
is a good restaurant.

I don't want to
visit everything.

- Yeah, okay, but I have
to do the full tour now.

You understand?
Otherwise I get confused.

All right, go. Let's do this!

And here are the
gates of Veggietown.

You don't have any
meat on you, right?

- No. Do you think I walk around
with steaks in my pockets?

- [Hugo] First a bit of history.

This district was
created 10 years ago

when the meat lobbyist
succeeded in forcing people

to eat a steak per day.

Look over there, vegans
in their habitat.

They're lighter than us,

that's because they don't
eat meat, that's all.

Attacked on all sides,

the vegans were forced
to take refuge here,

and it became the vegan
district of Paris.

- [Alice] So are we
going to the restaurant?

- [Hugo] We get there soon.

It was here that the
terrible battle of the vegans

and the butchers
took place in 2001.

Baguette bread,

versus sausages.

We are now at the organic
vegan supermarket.

It's a revered temple.

Veggie whispering, it's the
official vegan language.

Hello my little carrot veg,
tell me how are you today?

- It's this road
and it's right here.

- Mm, yeah, that's
exactly what I thought.

- [Alice Voiceover] I
couldn't take it anymore.

- [Pascale] Hey Charlie,

so how did it go
with Miss Instamuse?

- Hmm.

- Did she pay?

- 'Course she paid.
And she never returned.

- Tell me why.

- I followed her on Instabim
and I told the whole story.

It made her bat bows,

and she lost more than a
million followers in one night.

You're impressed?

- Right... I didn't
understand a word.

Well, at least she paid.

- Right, yeah.

- [Rachel] Ready girls?

- [Girls] Born ready!

- Oh, ah, ah!

- [Pascale] Hello ladies.

Nice to have you here,
a table for three?

- Hello lady, this is
Sophie Tutti Frutti,

AKA the "Restaurant Killer".

And Ann LaFried, she's the
minister for gastronomy's niece.

And I'm Rachel Cocktail, five
million followers on Insta.

Well, four now because of you.

We came to your great
restaurant to eat.

- [Hugo] And here
is L'avant Poste,

the ideal vegan spot
to test your palate.

- [Alice] Ah, finally!

- [Matthew] I did my
best to make it quick.

- Here, they receive
their vegetables

directly from the producer.

They use farm seeds
that you can't find

at your local grocery store.

Like the gutupi green pepper,

the Egyptian white zucchini,

sugar beet,

and tuberous parsley.

Their concept highlights one
variety of vegetable per dish.

- Thank you for the
story Hugo. It was...

Very... Informative.

- You're welcome.

- Now, let's see if
my palate still works.

- This veggie
tartar is delicious.

- Mm-hmm

- The cook who made this dish
has the heart of a surfer.

- Hey, good guess, that's right.

I always wanted to be a surfer.

- Ooh, I was right. I'm not
allergic to vegan cuisine,

but the ratatouille Matthew
made is still a mystery.

- Well, you know, maybe
he didn't make it.

Maybe someone else cooked it.

- Of course. He cheated!

- And the tour!
What about my tip?

- [Rachel] So girls,
what'd you think?

- You were right,
Rachel, it's so gross.

- Yeah! And it smells
like a frying pan.

- And there's only oil left
on the plate, let me show it.

- Yeah, no creativity, tasteless
dishes, over cooked meat.

- Cheap decor, it's filthy!
Even the table is sticky.

- Ugh! It's gross!

- With you girls,
nothing gets by.

- Uh, no. It's too much.

- Real restaurant killers.

- That's us.

- Oh, they're going
to be so damaged.

- That's all they deserve.

- Itty bitty quick stop.

- Excuse me, ladies.

Can you make a little
less noise please?

- Oh yeah? Or else what?

- Or else what?

- Yeah, do you
wanna kick us out?

- Okay, I got the message.
Excuse me, ladies.

- Run along, while I rate
your service. Zero stars!

- No, Pascale! Stop it!

- I have to do it Charlie.

- No, no, this can't be. No!

Plates are ready!

I'm all right.

- [Alice Voiceover]
I was sure of it.

Matthew had cheated to
the ratatouille contest.

But I needed to prove it.

I didn't know how, but
I'll find something.

I blended into the background,

I was a true chameleon.

Ha ha. He didn't
suspect a thing.

But as he turned the
corner, he vanished.

I underestimated him.

- Excuse me, sir, I'm lost.

Do you know where I could
find St. Catherine's place?

- Muh, yeah. Over that way.

- Thank you very much.

- He didn't have a clue.
I was so good at this.

And then he just littered.

Or maybe, was it a clue?

Ha ha!

For justice.

Aah!

- [Alice Voiceover] It reminds
me of the smell of Huttenheim

from the kitchen of the
restaurant, French To-Go.

Oh yes, that taste is
their famous green peppers

and their tzatziki sauce.

Hold on, there's meat.

Chicken, in fact.

- No way!

Matthew is a fake vegan.

- [Rachel] Charlie,
can I speak to you?

- What do you want?
I did not enough yet?

- It wasn't your cooking
that I had a problem with,

it was your boss.
And I'm really sorry.

- Well, it's always
like that with her.

Sometimes we fight,

but you know, deep down
she's a really good person.

- No, I don't think so.

But you, you're the
reason I came back.

You and your cooking, because...

I really love your cuisine.

And it's the first time I
felt something like that.

And I think that, I
wasn't ready for it.

- Hello, Mr. Vegan King

- Oh, Alice. What's up?

- Or should I say, Mr. Imposter?

I know it all.

- Mm?

- Ugh, you've ruined the effect.

You're supposed to pick it up.

This is your sandwich,
and there is meat in it.

You're not a real vegan.

- Did you follow me?

- Exactly.

- Ugh. Seriously, Alice.
This is my bad side.

Okay, what do you want?

- I want you to tell me who
really made the ratatouille.

Admit it, it wasn't you.

- Okay, fine.

I made an agreement with
the contest organizer,

'cause it's my mom.

Every year we taste all
the recipes submitted

for the competition
before anyone else.

And then we try to
find the best one,

then we switch that
ratatouille with mine.

We guarantee a win,

and it also brings in more
customers to my restaurant.

- No way! Who's
the real cook then?

- Mm... Charlie from Galopin?

- No, it can't be Charlie.

I fell in love with
this ratatouille,

it couldn't be him,
okay? So who did it?

- No, I'm sure it was him.

Charlie from Galopin.

- Whoa.

- It's impossible,
I know his cooking.

How could that be?

- You know, sometimes it's hard

to recognize your true
feelings for someone.

Kinda like your sister.

She got the hots for me, thing
is, she hasn't seen it yet.

- Here, take your sandwich.

- It's feels fresh and
flamboyant in the mouth.

It's a young wine.

I taste a fruity base of
raspberry and a hint of lychee.

It's too bad that the
flavors disappear so quickly.

- Okay, let's say they
won the contest in a bag.

- Yeah.

Yes!

- But that was an easy wine.

- [Elza] Such a sore loser.

- Alice? You're so
quiet. Are you okay?

- I'm all right.

- A carrot?

- Uh, no, thanks.
They're not my thing.

- Oh, so what's your thing?

- Something wonderful,
kind, generous.

- What kind of
vegetable is that?

- Huh? It's not a vegetable.

- Mm...

- [Alice Voiceover] And
there I was, in love.

All I had to do now was to
find the courage to tell him.

- [Charlie] Hey, there she is.

- [Alice Voiceover]
However, that evening,

something told me that
things were about to get

a little bit more complicated.

- Here I brought you the
trophy, I assume you wanted it.

- Okay, yeah. Charlie
will be happy about it.

- Tell him to polish it
at least once a week,

so it won't get dull.

- Mm, okay.

You can let it go now-
- Yeah, okay.

- Thank you!
- Go ahead, take it, okay.

- Thanks, see you.

- See you. Tell your
sister I said hi!

I know she loves me!
