All language subtitles for South Beach Love [2021]

Garlic shepherd's pie, up.

Oh,

careful with that, Kev. That truffle's
worth more than my car. Well, your car

10 years old, and the windows don't roll
down.

done. I just can't roll them back up.

You know I have bigger things on my mind
right now.

Oh, anywhere from financial?

Yeah, the loan was too small.

You'll get the next place.

Garlic, chicken, and cabbage up.

Two more orders for the lamb.

Oh, we're 86.

Seriously, where is he? We're going to
the rescue.

Thank you.

Oh, great.

Here. Alright.

What do you think?

Not bad.

Yeah? I've been working on it for Lola's
Cincinnati.

I'm telling her tonight that I'm cooking
for the party. Nice.

About that. Yeah. Can we talk?

Sure. Yeah.

That's right. Yeah.

About this? Yeah.

I cannot believe she's turning 15.

Doesn't that feel like yesterday we were
combing pink frosting out of her hair?

Yeah. So, well, yeah, there's been a
couple minor changes to the party.

No, a week from Friday.

Oh. Wow, so that's in, like, ten days.

Mm -hmm.

And it's at the Biscayne Club.

Oh, okay, so it's just not in the
backyard anymore.

No, a manager's given me a sweet deal.

Great. But the big venue, now Dolores
can invite all her relatives.

What do you mean by all her relatives?

Well, in the guest list, it's just a
little, let's say, it's a lot bigger now

that we have the club.

Right.

It's reasonable.

Dolores has the exact number.

Okay, okay.

What, are we sure we want the Irish girl
cooking for that many Cuban?

Relax. It's going to be great. Yeah.

It's going to be great.

This is why I became a chef.

Oh, that bad?

Not to pile it on, but the cream
delivery is delayed again.

You got it, my kid.

French restaurant without cream?

I'll take care of it, Donna. Don't
worry. Thank you.

Hey, Maria, what's up?

Well, I am a little stressed with work
and, you know, the quinceanera.

But I did finally choose a theme.

It's going to be Miami Spice, which is
traditional Cuban with a twist.

Hello? Are you listening to me? Tony,
the food has to be perfect.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I think that's
actually, I think that's great. I mean,

Miami Vice sounds good.

No, Miami Vice.

Teresa's turning 15, not 50.

Oh, man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it. Don't worry.

Spice, twist, yeah.

The food's going to be amazing. Don't
worry, okay? Hey, I need to talk to you

about something when you get home. Are
you still coming tomorrow? Oh, yes, I'm

coming for sure tomorrow.

I need some sun. I need a break. I need
to get out of here for a while. I

haven't been out of here for like two
years, man.

Yeah, well, that is the blessing and the
curse of a one -star chef.

Is Anna coming with you?

I'm right here.

Not this time.

I'll explain that to you later.

You're so brave. Cooking for 150 people,
Aunt Sarah.

Oh, 150.

Oh, Matt didn't tell you?

Not exactly.

God, this.

Once word got around to the family, we
couldn't say no to anyone.

Right.

Well, cooking for a lot of people is
what I do.

This is going to be great.

Recipes for my mother and grandmother.

You can use them for the menu.

Thank you, Isabel. This is wonderful.

The theme's going to be Old Havana.
Come.

Let me show you something.

I have never seen any of this.

My party was small, but my dress was
big.

Mommy made it herself.

Well, we wanted to give Lola something
more extravagant than we could for the

Lord. Oh, check out Romeo.

Hey. Was he your boyfriend, Mom?

Romeo was Omero, my cousin.

You've never met him?

Well, we didn't let her date until I met
your brother in junior year when we

moved to the neighborhood.

Somehow I found the only Irish boy in
Little Havana.

I still remember the first time you came
here to the house.

Yeah, I saw you and Matt kiss on the
front porch. Oh.

Little did I know I'd end up living here
someday.

So, how did the date change go over at
school?

I got a lot of RCPs already.

Good. Except Teresa Freedman, she found
out at parties the night before hers.

I was like, Teresa's acting like a
princess.

What did she say? She was just... lame.

And she kept bragging about how fancy
her dress is. Uh -uh. Your dress is

beautiful.

The one she wanted was a little bit out
of our budget.

It's fine, Mom.

Let's go finish our homework.

I'll bring you some mariquitas, eh?

That's sad. Those two are such good
friends.

I know.

Well, have you talked to Maria?

I never hear from her anymore.

What? Why not?

She's too busy with her fancy new house
in Coral Gables.

We were best friends since high school.

And she ditched me.

Just like Tony did to you.

Sorry. That, uh, I didn't mean... Oh,
it's okay. It was a long time ago.

Matt said he's coming home for Teresa's
party.

I think he might have a girlfriend.

And a store next to his name.

Don't need to know much more than that.

Delora, there's something I'd like to
do.

With your blessing, of course.

Hey, you.

Party stuff's kind of stressful, huh?

Totally. I'm sorry.

But you know your mom. Mom just wants
you to have an amazing night.

I remember the day I turned 15.

When this was my room.

I snuck out the window and my dad found
me at a bonfire with all my friends.

Yeah, I was grounded for like a year. No
way. Yeah, yeah, not advice.

I wish Grandma and Grandpa were here,
Phyllis.

You miss them.

I know, honey.

We all do.

We'll do something special to remember
them at the party.

Hey, how would you feel if I bought your
dress?

The one you really wanted.

What?

Seriously? Seriously.

You're my only niece. What else am I
going to spend my money on?

But you're saving up for another
restaurant.

Don't you worry about that.

How about we go to the dress shop on
Saturday?

Of course, sweetie.

There you are!

What's up?

Welcome! How are you? Good to see you,
baby.

Hi. Good to see you guys so much. Hey,
thank you, brother. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I can't believe it's been two
years.

I know, I know, I know. Wait till you
see the new house. It's beautiful. And

Bobby's getting along so much better on
the first floor. Yeah, well, that sounds

good, but I got to tell him it's the old
house.

You know, whatever.

Hey, everybody's very excited to see
you. Pero mami says you're going to have

wear a name tag because nobody's going
to recognize you.

There's the guilt.

Hey, did you hear that Lola's having her
quince on the same weekend as Teresa?

Yeah, Matt mentioned they were changing
the date.

You also told me that Sarah has a
restaurant in South Beach. Yeah, it's

Munch. I hear it's really good. You
should check it out.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

I mean, wouldn't that be a little
awkward?

Absolutely. But it depends if you guys
want to try to be friends or not.

20 minutes here and my past is already
haunting me.

Do you want to talk to me about
something? I do, but let's get through

homecoming first.

Ta -da! Hello!

Hello!

Tony!

Mom!

Yo!

Was I not found abandoned with mother?

Oh, man, I miss you too.

You are too thin.

Nobody wants a skinny chap.

Well, that's why I came here for 10
days, so you can fire me up.

Hey, he's not skinny. Look, muscles.

That's my girl right there. I'm excited
you're home.

Of course, I'm going to meet her biggest
night. Oh, don't remind me how big it

is.

We're having her dress custom made, and
we've hired the best choreographer in

Miami for the dance.

Boy, it sounds like business is really
good, huh?

Come, I'm making all your favorites.

Sounds good. Let's go.

Man,

that was good.

I mean, I actually forgot how good your
cooking is.

Gracias.

Now,

why have you been avoiding us?

Is it Anna?

No, no. Actually, we broke up.

What? Yeah. Well, she wasn't the right
woman for you anyway.

No woman is the right woman.

You guys, I have really good news.

What? Okay.

Savory South Florida Magazine is doing
an upcoming feature on the Quintanilla

food scene, and they're using real
families, and they're caterers.

So, I submitted it, and we're in.

Really?

Well, my party's going to be in a
magazine.

Okay, this is way cool, right?

That's nice, but the menu's not even
ready. It's okay. I gave them the theme,

and I told them that you're an award
-winning chef, so...

Please? Do you, Tony?

Where's Maria?

She's been gone since the crock of dawn.
She works too hard, like you.

So what are you going to do this
morning? I don't know. I might go check

old neighborhood.

Did you talk to Matt yet?

Not yet. I'll call him later.

Want to take el presidente?

No way.

Really?

You sure?

You're a big shot now. You have to look
the part.

I remember when we used to go to Ocean
Drive in that car.

We felt like we were such high rollers.

Well, gas was cheap. That was the only
thing we could afford.

I am so glad you're home.

You too.

Well,

I don't eat bread today, but... Okay,
well, next time.

Good to see you.

Hmm. Maybe this will work in a tropical
area.

Is there any help out there?

Help is for me all the time, too.

Sarah?

Tony!

Hey. Hey.

You look good. Yeah, I'm good.

Yeah. I mean, hey, I heard about the
restaurant. I mean, congratulations on

that. And your restaurant.

Thank you. Wow.

Listen, I came to get some mangoes for
my mom, and I actually think this is

perfect. Are you taking these mangoes?
Oh, yes.

All right, take two.

Okay, well, it was good seeing you.

Hey, do you mind if we go for a walk?

You know, catch up a little bit?

I... Please.

I have some things I want to say.

Sure. Yeah.

It's just that I know what I said all
those years ago.

I was very sorry.

I still am.

I'm sorry I never responded.

Guess I just wasn't ready to hear it
back then.

Yeah, well, I don't blame you. You know,
the way I handle things.

Leaving me out of the blue with a rusty
food truck and a broken heart?

Yeah, I was upset.

I mean, we had a big plan.

But, you know, eventually I realized you
couldn't pass up an opportunity like

that. You probably would have done the
same thing.

Well, it seems you're doing great,
though.

How's the restaurant? Tell me about it.

It's small, but it has a fun vibe.

It's kind of like what we talked about
for our restaurant.

Fun, huh?

Well, let me tell you, you're a lucky
woman.

It was fun eating one of the main
ingredients in my cooking this day.

Well, this is a tough business.

But lucky you're getting some downtime.

If that's what you call it.

Taking care of the food for Teresa's
kinship.

Me too.

For Lola's.

Really? Yeah. I have to figure out
generations of recipes in nine days.

And I have to come up with a menu worthy
of a magazine.

The featuring was in Savory South
Florida.

That's great.

That's great.

Well, good luck.

I should get back to the restaurant.

Make sure you call my brother.

Yeah, I will.

Good seeing you.

Something smells good.

It's a mojo marinade for a fresh red
sniffer.

Can I try? Oh, please.

Oh, wow. What's wrong?

It's bitter.

How much sour orange juice did you use?

Well, it was tasting a bit dull.

Well, at least I got my recommended dose
of vitamin C for the entire year.

Hey, that is a bad joke. No, no, it's
not you. It's just...

I ran into my ex today, the chef.

Tony, right?

Yeah. How'd it go?

It went.

That bad, huh?

You know, you never told me what
happened between you two.

To make a long story short, we applied
to a cooking school in Paris.

It was a dream of ours, you know, an
adventure that we wanted to do together.

Neither of us got in, so we bought a
food truck instead.

It's theirs, right?

It was supposed to be called Cubish for
part Cuban -Irish fusion.

We just started working on the menu when
the spot opened up at the school.

Yeah, they offered it to Tony.

And he put the kibosh on Cubish. Yep, he
was gone within a week.

Well, he's a fool for leaving you.

What's he doing in town anyway?

He's here for his niece's quinceañera.

Kiss me?

Or kiss of death?

And I thought I was the dramatic one?
No, it's just...

I thought cooking for this was going to
be fun, and now my cooking is going to

be compared to his.

You know, the parties have a lot of the
same guests. Oh, and they're profiling

him for savory.

The quinceada feature?

Yep. Well, I read about that.

You should submit your name.

The editor loved your food when you were
here. Yeah, for the food I prepare

every day. I am way out of my element
here, Kev. Well, what better motivator

get in your element?

You opened this restaurant because you
love a challenge.

So challenge yourself.

No. You know fine.

Okay,

exactly how many oranges did you use?
Okay, okay, all right.

All right, I think we're good. You want
to try it? Yes.

Let me know what you think, okay?

All right.

Mmm. The Fresno chili tastes really good
in there.

You like it, huh? I prefer it with the
sour orange.

Well, let me tell you, I used a little
hank instead of vinegar.

Mmm.

Mama's recipe with a twist.

You know, your father doesn't like
anything spicy.

Well, he married her, didn't he?

Aww.

I love being here cooking with you guys.
I miss you so much.

Give me a second.

Hey, what's up, brother?

Nice to finally have you home.

Yeah, yeah. Good to be back, man.

Do you have a beer?

Something to eat?

Yeah, let's do it.

How about lunch?

Sarah's place.

I don't know. Is that a good idea?

I mean, you've been telling me so many
good things about it.

No. She'll disown me as a brother.

Come on, man. I'm just curious about the
food.

You know, we had a good talk today.

Fine. At your own risk.

All right. See you later.

All right.

Sorry?

Yeah, sorry to interrupt your work.

How did that go?

Well, I apologize for one.

So you guys are good?

Yeah, I think so. Maybe.

What?

You're asking me if I wanted to be
friends. I want to be friends.

Want a bite of pork?

Why is he here?

Who's he? Tony.

Oh.

He's more like five stars. Hey, my man,
Tony. What's up, bro? How are you doing,

man? I should have known.

You might do. I got you a beer. Awesome
food.

Appreciate it, man. Thank you. All day.

Thank you. Thanks.

Hey, there.

Outbraised steak with stacked chips.
Some Irish malted bread with honey

and lamb cobbler.

Nice. Looks good.

Oh, man, this is good.

Compliments to the chef.

Thanks. I'll let her know.

You're right about the vibe in here.
It's nice.

Sarah actually wants to open up another
place.

Really where?

South Beach, hopefully.

I'd like to hear about it when we have
breakfast.

Oh, actually, Lola and I are going dress
shopping in Coconut Grove.

Okay,

that's nice.

Enjoy.

Enjoy the food.

Thank you.

I just want a talk show. Oh, sure you
do. Okay.

Hey, ladies.

Hey. How are you doing?

Get my dress.

Benita finally finished the final
alterations, and then I have an open

and then I'm going to the bakery.

Where's the dress shop?

It's in Coconut Grove. Okay, why don't I
meet you there? I take Teresa home, and

then you can go straight to your open
house.

Since when do you like shopping?

It's not about shopping, okay? I want to
spend time with my niece, that's all.

Okay, but we're leaving, like, right
now. Okay, then go to the bakery.

I'll take a shower and then jump in
Papa's car.

I'll probably meet you there.

Okay, that'll help.

All right.

See you there.

This is my sister, Sara.

Nice to meet you. Your dresses are
beautiful.

When it can double for a parachute, my
work is done.

I'm just kidding, of course. I take my
work very seriously.

Sara has offered to buy Lola the emerald
green dress she wanted.

Please say you still have it.

Yes, you are in luck. The last one off
the rack. It's my most popular color

year. Apparently pastels are out this
season.

Good to know. I just finished the
alterations on this other one last

Let me get you some shoes to try with
it.

Queen Sarah has a nice winter.

Tony, what are you doing here?

I came to give Teresa a ride.

Oh, she'll be here in a minute.

Listen,

I really...

I had a good time last night.

I liked your place.

The food is amazing.

Thanks.

Do you think I can take you to dinner
tonight?

It'll give you a day off from cooking.

Here she is.

Wow.

You never look so beautiful.

It's just gorgeous.

I really love it. The color.

Seriously?

Maria?

Dolores, how are you?

You know each other?

Yeah, we're old friends.

Same weekend, same color dress.

Perfect.

Can you get another dress?

We had this one custom made, Tony.

I can find another one. It's okay.

No, it's not okay.

Lola shouldn't have to give up wearing
her favorite color on the most special

night of her life.

Right, Maria?

That would be as crazy as you trying to
steal Teresa's thunder for a second

time, Dolores.

Green is an honor of Lola's Irish
heritage.

The dress, a proud tribute to two
cultures.

But green with envy isn't a good color
on anyone, is it?

Is that what you think?

Let's go.

Yeah, um, don't mess with the dress.

I can't believe you got a different
dress. My daughter's too nice sometimes.

It's okay.

I don't want the drama, Mom.

Anyway, you know how much I love.

Did you hear how Maria spoke to me? And
she still hasn't RSVP'd through the new

date. Can't you just talk to her? I feel
like this whole thing's getting really

blown out of proportion.

It's a little bit more complicated than
that, Sarah.

How?

Oh, no, he didn't. Did what?

What's going on? No, just Kevin
submitted Lola's quince to Savory South

Magazine, and they picked up.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I'm definitely telling them I am
too busy.

Teresa's going to be in that magazine
with her Uncle Tony.

She posted something on her page.

No.

Tell that magazine, yes.

If Teresa and her family can be in it,
so can we.

This is going to be the best meal anyone
has ever tasted.

Right, Sarah?

Great.

All right, ladies.

Leave the work for later because I got
you lobster, carpaccio salad with mango

sorbet. Patricia, do you want to do the
honors? Yes.

How's the sauce?

Delicious. Amazing.

Everything has to have a twist. What's
wrong with traditional?

Don't worry, I can do that too.

With a twist.

See you tomorrow. Go in the house.

Keep learning, huh?

Yeah, I can, you know.

No. Just going to talk.

Okay. Do you guys mind if I go to dinner
tonight?

Sure. With who?

With Sarah.

She wants to talk to me about something.

About what?

I don't know. Maybe about your behavior.

That's not nice, isn't it? That's not
nice.

Hey.

Welcome.

Thank you. Good to see you.

Oh, great. Thanks.

You look so beautiful.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I remember when your mom was a pet cook
here.

Yeah, I mean, she worked here for like
15 years.

I always wanted her to get her own
place, you know?

That's what is so good.

It's the best.

Why didn't she?

Well, you know, my parents used to live
from paycheck to paycheck.

I think something like this was not in
the cards.

That's exactly why I was so desperate to
get my own place.

Why don't I help them?

Two conchoncharas. Hey, hey. Nice to
meet you. Thanks, man. Thank you. On the

house. Oh, really? Thank you, man.
Appreciate it. You remember Sarah Kelly?

She owns Munchinup. Yes. Wonderful.

You want to join us for a minute?

Sure. Yeah.

Let's try this. Cheers.

Cheers. Let me know what you think about
this. This is really good.

Mmm.

Mmm. Oh.

Delicious. Is that lime juice, rum, and
honey, right? Yes.

Ah, I could serve that at Lola's party.

For sure.

I mean, quinceanera con chanchera, that
sounds good.

Oh, catchy.

And it's said to have healing powers.

Well, then it's definitely going on the
menu.

Hey, man, I'm sorry I haven't been in
such a long time.

Work, you know.

Hey, perfect timing.

I'm selling.

You're selling this place?

Come on, man. You're an institution
around here. You can't do that. It's

good run.

Hey, great to see you, Tony.

Pleasure, man.

May I recommend Palomino Steak?

Great.

Thank you.

That's why I became a chef right there.

Yeah? What?

Smiling customers.

Sometimes I sneak a peek to see if
they're enjoying their food.

Their faces say it all, for better or
for worse.

Look at you, huh?

Never thought of it that way.

My mom and dad were such foodies. They
were always so encouraging any time I

wanted to try another recipe, especially
if it was Irish.

Yeah, I'm sure they would have been very
proud of you with the restaurants.

Yeah.

So you should know.

Yeah. The magazine's going to include
us, too.

Really? That's amazing.

Is it? Yeah. I feel like it's going to
send Maria over the edge.

You know, Maria needs to relax, man.

She's been taking this way too
seriously. I've been out of here for,

years. You know, I just want to have a
good time.

Do you miss home?

Yeah, yeah.

You know what? I miss a lot of things
around here.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Because I heard... No, no, I don't have
a girl.

You know, I had one, but we broke up.

Oh, what happened?

I don't know, I just, you know, I think
I just realized that two shares is like,

you know, it's a play.

You know, you start out with high hopes,
you get a plantation, it falls flat.

You know, the schedule was crazy.

To be honest.

Well, the camera's through us in there.

I'm fine.

What?

Beautiful out here, huh?

Yeah, it is. But I should get going.

Yeah, me too.

What's going on here?

I mean, never thought I'd miss the
Macarena.

You know, Maria just wants the dance to
be perfect. Does it have to be this

early in the morning?

You know, we're actually going salsa
dancing with Maria and Esteban tonight.

Come with us.

I just got an email from Savory. The
reporter wants to interview you tomorrow

for the piece.

Okay, all right. They had such a huge
response on their page, and they loved

your backstory so much, they want to
make the feature the cover.

Wow. Wait, wait, what do you mean,
backstory?

Yeah, it's between you and Sarah.
They're going to decide based on the

shoot and obviously whoever's food is
best.

Photo shoot?

Yeah, tomorrow after the interview, the
girls will be there.

You and Teresa are going to look so cute
together.

Tony, we have to get this cover for her.
Yeah.

Does it have to be tomorrow?

They won't have the cover ready since it
goes to print if you did that for the

party. But I still need to finish the
centerpieces, the seating plan, and

the flowers.

And the food. Have the food.

Relax, Delora.

Sarah's got this.

Everything's been ordered. And I sent
you the final menu for approval.

Maybe I could relax if I had a party
planner and a choreographer.

Have you seen Lola's dance?

Pobrecita. Oh, okay.

Well,

uh, certainly proves too lefty to run on
the family.

Well, Lola may not be the best dancer,
but she's beautiful.

And smart.

So get us that cover, Sarah.

Yeah, I'm on it. The main course is
simmering as we speak.

Got it.

Should I be worried?

No, no, it's fine.

I can do this.

All right. Thank you, Tom.

That sounded intense.

Hey. Hey.

How was my sous chef bug in New York?

Oh, yeah, well, running a restaurant's
like putting out a million fires every

day. Oh, tell me.

All right. Try delegating more.

Remember why you became a chef in the
first place.

Kevin runs the show for me every Sunday.

Okay.

So, are you going to tell me why you're
at my house?

Oh, yeah.

Well, Matt told me where you live. I
hope you don't mind I came by.

You know, the only person I know in
Miami who writes their back everywhere

go. Have you seen my car?

No. Come in.

It's awesome.

Nice house.

I like it.

Whoa, what's that smell?

Megan Rapavieja?

It's been cooking for hours.

Went out to get some stuff to try and
tweak it. Look at this Irish girl

Cuban on me.

I like it.

So, what's going on?

Well, you know, it's magazine cover,
man. Like, people are forgetting what

real reason to celebrate is. The girls.
I know, right?

I don't even think I can live up to it.
Or what Dolores wants, for that matter.

Just ask my ropa.

Do you want to try it?

Try it. Yeah? Isn't that like eating
with the enemy?

Oh, right. Sorry.

Oh, come on. I'm just kidding.

Of course I want to try it.

Let's see.

All right. Oh, it looks good.

All right.

Oh, I'm kind of nervous.

Oh, that's a big bite right there.

Let's see what you got. Go easy on me.

It's not bad, it's just, you know, it's
just difficult to get the taste just

right. Because you know how Cubans are,
we are a little difficult. You know, we

sometimes don't like the Cuban food so
spicy, but then it becomes so boring.

do you have chile habanero?

Oh, yeah, I do. Got it. Excellent.

Got a knife, you have a knife?

Mm -hmm.

Got it.

And sometimes what I do, too, is that I
add a little bit of something sweet.

To offset the spice.

You know what? I have a crazy idea.

Yeah?

What if we try to have it somewhere
here?

Mint. Mint?

Yeah.

I don't know about that. It should go
off, but you know what?

Nothing wrong with trying something new.

Yeah? Yeah. I've been doing a lot of
that lately.

That's what cooking is all about.

Seeing what works.

Right?

Do you remember our idea for the food
truck?

The main course.

Ropa pie.

It was like our take on shepherd's pie.

Yeah, of course. I'm going to forget.

Perfect Cuban -Irish fusion.

Even though I had no clue how to cook
Cuban. Yeah, I didn't know how to cook

Irish either.

But it ended up naming the food truck
anyway after I left.

Just Sarah's.

What do you think if we make the ropa
pie the way we were supposed to do years

ago?

What do you think?

Okay.

I feel it's beautiful.

And there we have it. A cubish creation.

Nice. And you see, that's what cooking
is all about.

It's fun, right?

Fun. Having a great time.

We were always such a good team.

Yeah, we were.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like
if I had a lift?

Sometimes.

Yeah, me too.

Well, we shouldn't let this get cold.

Yeah, do we? We don't really need a
plate, right?

No. All right.

All right. Ready?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my. This is so good.

And you know what? I can't believe what
I'm about to say, but the meat works.

You're cool if that's the hot.

My mom would love this, man.

Wow.

By the way, do you want to come dancing
with us tonight?

My family would love to see you tonight.

Oh, I thought I should do. Breaks?

You can take breaks.

Yeah. You're allowed to. Come on.

We have a photo shoot tomorrow, and
trust me, you don't want to see me turn

a pumpkin.

And then there's my moves.

You know how bad those can be.

Come on. Stop with the excuses.

Go lead.

Okay. Ready?

All done?

What's up?

Do it.

Oh.

Good to see all of you again. Good to
see you.

How are you?

Tell me, how is Dolores doing?

Good. She's good. You should call her.

Does she want me to?

Definitely. Really?

Because she seems very upset.

Well, for starters, she said you still
have an RSVP.

Oh, no.

I completely forgot.

Thank you for reminding me.

Is there something else going on between
you two?

I mean, if there is, it's a mystery to
me.

What are we waiting for? We want to look
down.

Let's go.

Yes,

let's go.

I've got a password.

Okay, come on.

Let's go.

First thing we're going to do is read
the Michigan, all right? Say it. Read it

all over again.

All right?

Enjoy. All right.

This is very important, all right?

I'm going to check around the world.

There you go.

I'm out of shape.

I guess too much cooking.

What happened?

Wow. Hi, can I get a grapefruit
daiquiri, please?

That's a refreshing choice.

Okay. I'll have the same thing, please.

Gracias.

You were never a fruity drink guy.

We're in Miami. I guess it's fine.

Listen, can I ask you something
personal?

Okay. Why are you singing?

I mean, you're such a beautiful woman.

You know, you're smart, and you know how
to cook.

I mean, that's amazing.

I just haven't met the right guy.

You know, someone who can handle my
hours, my passion for the restaurant.

know the deal.

Yeah, I know the deal.

Oh, it's not her. You know, my mom and
dad.

My dad used to work outwards, fixing
cars, and my mom in the kitchen.

But they never complained.

They were always so happy when they
worked together.

We had that once.

Two daggers for you.

All right, two daggers.

Thank you.

Gracias. Cheers.

Let's try it. Cheers.

Salud.

All right, so what do you think if we go
out and try to take you home and check

out the old neighborhood?

Why not?

Party time and show time.

Come on, man.

You know, it feels so strange being home
and knowing someone else lives here

now.

Remember when we got those walkie
-talkies for Christmas?

Yes, I do.

Of course I do.

We'd have these long talks, window to
window.

So much better than texting.

We just clicked.

Our families clicked.

Yeah.

Yeah, those were good times.

You know, I'm happy that my parents and
Maria stayed here as long as they did,

but sometimes I wish they never moved.

History.

History has many memories.

Mostly of you.

You remember the first time we kissed?

It was right there, on that tree.

Fourth of July weekend.

And you could hear the fireworks.

Best three years of my life followed
that kiss.

And why was it so easy for you to leave?

It was not easy.

I was just young, you know.

I thought that to make something of
myself, I have to leave Little Havana.

I didn't know how good I had it here.

I missed you a lot.

Really?

Yes.

You know, I wanted you to come with me
to France.

Then why didn't you ask me?

How could I?

My dream was the only one coming true.

I'm sorry about everything.

I forgive you, Tony.

I gotta tell you, I'm impressed with
everything I've accomplished.

It actually makes me a little jealous,
you know? What? Why?

Because you are, like, living out your
dreams, you know? You're living out your

passion and actually having fun while
you're doing it.

You got it all figured out.

Well, thanks.

But honestly, I feel like I'm trying to
convince people I'm worthy.

I'm trying to prove myself.

Well... You've done that as far as I'm
concerned.

Did you tell that to the bank?

What is that?

You hear the music?

Oh, that's Lola.

She's practicing with her court.

Actually, would you mind coming in for a
minute?

Oh, no, I don't mind. Let's go.

Hi, Mr. Rodriguez.

Call me Tony, please.

So that's you doing the mambo, huh?

Trying.

Actually, Tony here has some really,
really good moves. Maybe he could show

a thing or two.

Sorry. It's an emergency.

Yeah.

I see.

All right, let's go then.

Yeah, keep going.

there you go hey

Thank you for tonight.

Really helped out, Lola.

You are very, very patient. Actually,
thank you for coming.

Just don't tell Maria, maybe?

Don't worry.

I'll leave her to you.

This isn't a good idea.

Why not?

Going back to New York, and you said it
yourself with the two chefs, it's not a

recipe for success.

Tell me I'm wrong, but I know we have
something here.

And we had something a long time ago,
too, and look how that turned out.

I'll see you at the shoot tomorrow.

Thanks for tonight.

Oh,

I'm

sorry I did an RSVP. We're going.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm Stefan.

Nice to meet you all in person, and
welcome to your kitchen for the day.

I'll be running the photo shoot, and
Sarah, the editor, sends his regards.

Oh!

I'm Megan.

I'll be writing the article and doing
the interviews. Thank you so much for

including us. Thanks, it's an honor.

All right, ladies, if you'll follow me,
we have hair and makeup in the trailers.

Come this way.

Don't get hammered. Bye, guys.

Want to meet?

So who would like to be interviewed
first?

Oh, take him. That is first.

Not really, he's the bro.

Oh, come on.

So why'd you become a chef?

Well, I should say I'll never get tired
of hearing the words.

My compliments are understandable.

Well, I loved cooking ever since I was a
little kid. I would get in the kitchen

with my mom and spend hours with her. So
what kind of food can we expect at the

Quinceañera? There'll be a lot of old
recipes from Lola's grandmother.

My mom's classic Cuban dishes with a
little bit of a twist.

Well,

you are up for the cover against an
award -winning chef.

Is a star really all it's cracked up to
be? Well, not always.

But, I mean, Tony's an amazing chef.

So, tell me, how would you feel if an
amateur gets the cover?

An amateur gets the cover?

You know, I gotta tell you something.
Sarah doesn't have an award, but she's

good cooking.

Besides, I don't think this is about
that. I think this is about the girls,

know, about the food, you know, to show
her how much we care about her and how

much we love her. This food is for my
heart and soul.

It's my gift to Lola.

It's going to be spicier than I thought.

Oh, the camera's going to love you, too.

Oh, you're beautiful.

Look at the set.

All right, friends, are we ready? All
right, big smiles now, big smiles.

Good, good, good. All right, let's cross
our arms.

Cross our arms right here, right here,
right here. Keep those arms crossed.

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, right here, right here.

Perfect. Give me a little juggle,
Teresa.

Yeah,

right here, right here.

Right there. Put that process right on
her nose, right there. Right on her

I love it. Perfect, sir. If you could
pick up those two numbers for me.

Yep, right.

Right at the camera.

Oh, no!

I love the kids.

Let's get some hair. Let's get some
hair. Yeah, let's get, yep.

All right, perfect, everybody.

And friends, that is a wrap.

Incredible job, everybody.

How'd they walk in this dress in the
car?

Hey, you're great today.

So are you.

Teresa, I'm sorry that my party's a day
before.

It's okay.

I get it.

There's just so much drama with King's
Kiss anyway.

And Mom's obsessed with everything being
perfect.

Yeah, what's up with our moms anyway?

They barely even talk anymore.

I know.

Come, Lola. We need to get home.

Bye. Bye.

Mommy, Mama?

That was more fun than I thought it'd
be.

Yeah, it was fun.

Hey, Alicia, you...

You want to go grab a bite?

You know, looking at all that food made
me hungry.

Yeah, I really need to get to the
restaurant before Kevin files a missing

report.

All right, see you.

Thanks.

My friend, the sous chef at Ernesto's?
Yeah.

Jeff said it went on market today.

Oh, yeah, I heard that happened.

Get a bit in. That.

Popular. You know how restaurants go
around here? I don't even have my

together. Well, worry about that when
your bid gets accepted.

You'll find a way this time.

Hey, did you see the savory post?

No. You're going to want to check out
their page and make an offer on

today. I sent you the realtor's number
and asking price.

Wow, you really know how to wake up a
girl, huh?

Rise and shine.

What do we got here?

Who will grace the next Savory South
Florida magazine cover?

Chef Sarah Kelly or Chef Tony Rodriguez?

He says she's an amateur.

She says the stars and all have cracked
up to me.

Amateur? Seriously?

I need to come see this.

Look at this.

She said that about me?

Look what you said about her.

No, I think she said great shit. That's
what I said.

Oh, it has a lot of light.

Wow, this is how she repays me, huh?

You know, I gave her the tea for Ropa
Vieja and helped Lola with the dance.

Because that's the right thing to do.

Okay, I'm totally reposting this on my
story. No, Teresa, don't do it. Don't do

it, please.

Oh, and I heard Ernesto's is on the
market.

I'm starting to regret I pushed you into
doing this party.

What? Maybe Tony has a point.

I'm trying to cook authentic Cuban for
the first time for 150 people.

Well, did he train under a French chef?

And he was praised for cooking food he
didn't grow up with.

Listen, you respect our tradition and
our food, and you're taking the time to

learn both.

That's what matters.

Thank you, Dolores.

So, I did something today.

What?

I made an offer on Ernesto's.

Really? That's great.

Yeah, I figure the bank will give me the
same smaller loan they were offering

before, and I can sell much to raise the
risk.

I thought you were going to keep it.
Well, this is the only way I have a

at it.

Oh, I'll get it.

Hey.

Matt told me you were here.

Thanks, Matt.

What do you say those things about me?

I could say the same to you.

Listen, amateur was not my word. It was
hers.

I mean, what's the point of a star if it
doesn't mean someone's better?

Have you ever wondered why it's always
male chefs winning awards for their fine

dining?

Only 20 % of all chefs are women, and
most can't even get funding for anything

other than a mom -and -pop place.

We're worthy, too.

Of...

Financing and awards and magazine
covers.

I'm sorry.

Okay?

Listen, you know I think you're
talented.

And you know I think your accomplishment
is amazing.

I wouldn't say where you could be so
salacious.

Oh, man.

I don't know what we're doing. I mean,
we've known each other for too long to

let a magazine come between us.

You know, I care about you.

A lot.

Tony, you and I... I know we're in
different places in our lives right now,

better places.

Yeah, but a thousand miles apart instead
of four thousand.

Okay, how about if I... If I come to
Miami more often?

I mean, we're both busy anyway.

We can take it day by day.

See where things go.

Long distance?

I can't go down this road with you
again.

Not even to see where it goes.

You really hurt me, Tony.

Hey. Hey.

So your uncle was at my house talking to
my aunt.

I think they like each other.

They're sort of cute together.

Yeah, but my aunt told him it's not
going to happen.

Poor Dildoni.

Everyone's acting so weird.

It's supposed to be about family and
everyone coming together for us right

I know.

We just want our moms to be friends
again. We used to practically live at

other's houses.

Now we need to end this family feud.

Yeah, but how?

Hola, mami.

Hola, mijo. ¿Cómo estás?

Bien.

What are you thinking?

What makes you think I'm thinking about
something?

Yo te parí.

I know you well.

I talked to Sara this morning.

I can't tell you like her again, mijo.

I am.

I did.

And I still do.

So tell her.

I did.

Well, sort of. I felt like she wasn't
into it.

You know, I felt like, I don't know,
like maybe far past the distance.

So move home.

I can always hear in your voice how much
you miss Miami.

You are happier here.

I know, but I have a life in New York,
you know, and I have to go back prison.

Now you have work in New York, and
that's important.

But as far as I'm concerned, your life
is here with your real family and

friends. I don't know. I don't, but... I
don't know, it's just... You know, I

can't just throw everything away. You
know, I fought so hard.

I don't have all the answers, mijo.

But I know sometimes the best things
come from big risks.

When your father came to America from
Cuba, he told me he would send for me

later.

It was the hardest thing I ever did,
saying goodbye.

I was terrified that I would never see
him again.

But I had to.

I had to let go.

I had to trust.

So if you love her, find a way.

It's pretty good, man.

So here's the thing.

I'd like to make an offer on the
restaurants.

Keep it the way it is.

That's great, but this is a little
awkward.

Your girlfriend just made me an offer.

She said I made a bid.

This morning?

She's my friend, by the way.

Oh.

Well, here's the thing.

I have a higher bidder than her.

I put this place on the market and it
was like a feeding friend.

You think she can go higher?

The realtor says she can.

But if you can beat the top bid, my
place is yours.

I'd love to sell it to a friend.

Keep it authentic.

Where are you going?

All right?

Hey.

Listen, I went to see Ernesto.

Yeah, apparently you outbid me.
Congratulations.

No, no, wait.

Somebody else outbid me, and I outbid
that person.

I never do that to you. Why didn't you
tell me you were putting in an offer?

You didn't tell me either. Because I
didn't want you to feel sorry for me if

didn't get it.

Which is what's happening right now.

Listen, hear me out.

Okay? Since I want to open a place and I
don't have the time to be all in, I

thought you might be interested in being
my partner.

What do you think?

Like 50 -50?

I haven't thought about the number yet,
but you can be in charge.

You know, I can come home every other
week.

I gave Ernesto a bit that can work for
both of us.

I haven't seen you for 10 years.

You ride into town and suddenly want to
go into business together?

Look, I know you mean well, but I don't
need rescuing Tony.

And I certainly don't need anyone
planning my future behind my back. No,

That was not my intention, Sarah.

Okay? I just thought we can do something
together, something great together.

No. Thank you, though.

Party favors.

Check.

Centerpieces. Check.

Accessories and shoes.

Good. And the laptop has all the photos
and videos.

Oh, and the evil.

Already in the van.

Yeah, and most of the food was delivered
last night, and I brought the cake to

the club. Oh, the kitchen shop is great.

I told you.

I'm going to pick up the meat after I
drop all this stuff off. Great, and I'll

start cooking.

I can't believe it's almost time.

This is Matt.

Oh, no.

Now, are you serious?

Yeah. Yeah, we can talk about
rescheduling later.

Thank you.

What happened?

The manager from the club said there was
a kitchen fire overnight.

What? No, no.

Listen, we still have it in the
backyard.

There's too many people. Everything but
the meat's probably ruined. I'm sure

that they will give you a new date with
the same deal. And everyone's coming

tonight. Mommy and Bobby's house is full
of family.

They won't understand us.

Okay?

How am I going to tell Lola?

The magazine people are supposed to come
tonight.

I will call the magazine.

Can you call Lola at the pool?

She has a spare first period.

Hey. Well, at least she can get word out
to her friends quickly.

You should go.

Hey.

Hey, what's going on?

Party's off.

There's a problem with the club.

What? Can you reschedule?

I don't even think I want to.

No, you have to. It's too stressful.

I have an idea.

A double quince?

No. This is your night. This is for our
family. Mommy, the Kellys used to be

like family, okay? We need to help them.

Maria?

Can we tell them to come to the
rehearsal tonight?

We are not their charity case.

Please, Mom.

But you need a special night just for
you. And why wouldn't it be special with

all our friends and family there?

She's got a point.

We could give the Sanchez's the money we
were going to give to the club.

And the meat.

And the party favors and flowers.

It's a work.

I think it could work.

But I'm barely talking to Maria.

Ay, caramba.

We know, Mom.

Fine. But I want supper tables.

Well, this should be interesting.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm going to need a t -shirt after
this.

I survived a kids' catastrophe.

Character building.

It would be so much better if our moms
were getting along.

Yeah. I know.

And what about you and Tony?

What about us?

I heard you two talking up at the door.

You're just like me, the way I used to
spy on your dad.

It's complicated with us.

But if you like him, it wouldn't work.

I'm going to cook with him at least for
the party.

You've worked so hard.

We'll see.

But what we really need to talk about is
Maria and Dolores.

I think I might be able to fix it.

I'm going to need your help.

So we're going to divide everyone into
main course and appetizer duty tomorrow.

All right, we're going to have a lot of
people coming, so better be ready.

All right, keep moving.

All right, let's go.

Hey, Sarah.

Don't read into it.

I can leave you on your own with all
these meals, and trust me, this is when

want food. No problem.

I couldn't agree more.

Thank you for coming.

Appreciate it.

You're welcome.

Thank you for doing this.

It's for Lola.

Y entonces... Mami,

I think I actually like the dolls here
and the flowers over there.

Come on in, ladies.

Okay, so after the DJ announces the
parents and the padrinos, and then you

for your grand entrance, you'll make
your speeches while you light the

We'll do the traditions and then the
main course before the dance number.

So if you girls want, take the cords out
and keep practicing while we finish the

run -through.

Uh, we'd actually like to practice part
of our speech.

Oh, yeah, of course. Let's do it.

They say it takes a village to raise a
family.

And in our case, it was two houses on
Delfina Street.

Two moms who shared everything,
including raising us.

Mrs. Sanchez, you were like a second mom
to me.

And Miss Kelly, you were the same to me.

If I had a scraped knee or a broken arm,
it didn't matter what house we ran to.

We knew we'd be loved and taken care of.

We didn't have a lot back then, but to
us, our world was perfect.

We were protected and loved by one big
family.

Now please,

Take a look at the screen.

I'm sorry, Maria.

I'm sorry, too. But please tell me what
I did.

You barely talked to me.

It's like I'm not good enough for you
anymore.

Of course you're good enough.

I'm sorry. I've just been so busy with
work and with Teresa's school and now

this party. But you're right. I need to
be better.

Wait, is there something else?

You really don't know?

You knew how much we loved your house.

You took a stranger's bid over ours.

I explained to you what happened.

They paid cash and they offered over
asking, so we took it.

I thought loyalty and friendship were
more important to you than money.

So it is.

I'm going to make this up to you.

I'm going to find you a great house and
I'm going to make the best deal.

We're family.

And these girls, get over here.

Okay, okay, let's get this rehearsal
started.

Has anyone heard anything from the
magazine reporter?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I talked to her. I told her what
happened. She wasn't happy.

They like the dueling chef angle so
much, it probably won't run as a cover

anymore.

You ready for this? Oh, I'm ready. Send
them out.

Here you go.

All right.

Looking good, huh?

Era, Tony.

What's up, Kev? Hey. How you doing, man?
Hey.

Hey.

You guys are done for the night.

Like, seriously, go enjoy the party.

Thanks. Really?

You can close the restaurant.

You are such a wonderful woman.

Thanks so much.

You're welcome.

You came because of you and Tony.

That call you made to my editor made
quite the splash.

The story of two families coming
together was far better than stirring up

that, if I'm being honest, really wasn't
there.

Oh. And I brought you something you
might be interested in.

Tonight we are celebrating the wonderful
transition from childhood to womanhood

for two sensational señoritas.

And now, the woman you've all been
waiting for.

Let's put our hands together for our
first king to queen, nuestra primera

de esta noche, Teresa Sánchez!

Our second queen of this night, Lola!

So thank you, Mom and Dad, Mommy and
Papi, for giving us the best life and

best celebration.

I know it was a labor of love.

Te queremos mucho.

We love you so much.

Let's give it up for Lola and Teresa,
beautiful women.

Well, before we eat, we have two more
people to thank.

Our aunt and uncle, Sarah and Tony.

Not only for this amazing food tonight,

But it's just for always being there for
us.

Sometimes two ingredients may not look
like they go together.

Like mint and habanero peppers.

But just give it a chance and it might
surprise you.

We never thought we'd be up here
celebrating together.

But it wouldn't change it for anything.

We hope everyone has a great time
tonight.

Enjoy the food!

Now we have a wonderful surprise for you
all. The Queen and her courts would

like to show you something they've been
working very hard on.

de mi Cuba soberana.

Recuerdo aquel murmurio del río junto al
roío que

era una estampa cubana.

everyone's attention, please.

Girls, can you come over, please?

Well,

we've learned that a quinceañera is like
creating a new recipe.

You know, a lot of trial and error.
Sometimes you add a little bit of this,

a little bit of that.

Sometimes it can take a while to get it
right, but some dishes are worth the

effort because they're that special.

Lola and Teresa, we are so proud.

of the maturity you showed bringing our
families together again.

You're a very special woman and you
deserve the best.

It was an honor to be a part of tonight.

Happy birthday and always keep today in
your heart.

Feliz diaz.

And without further ado...

Tonight was really special.

Yes, it was.

I mean, the food was definitely a hit.

I saw a lot of smiles from there.

And your idea to talk to the editor of
Savory? Thank you for that, by the way.

Couldn't have done it without you.

Tony, about the restaurants.

I realize after this whole...

We really do make a good team.

I know.

Really?

That's good.

And I'm thinking if the offer is still
open.

Yes, it is.

I know what I said.

Cannot do it alone.

Alicia and I would.

I'm sorry if I did this behind your
back.

Okay.

Sometimes I'm too proud for my own good.

Yeah, yes, you are.

I'd like to do the partnership.

Okay. That sounds good to me.

We can do whatever you like.

60 -40 for you?

70 -30.

Figure 70 % is about what I can afford,
and we can go from there.

Okay, deal.

So I guess this means I'm going to be
seeing a lot more of you?

Welcome, everyone, to the grand opening
of Cubish. I'm so glad you can make it.

Yeah, so whether you're Irish.
