I SMELL THE MEAT.

TODAY, ME AND MY GUYS ARE GOING TO PAT LaFRIEDA MEATS

TO HAVE A CONSULTATION WITH PAT SR. AND PAT JR.

GREAT TO MEET YOU.

THANKS FOR COMING.

GREAT TO MEET YOU. WE CAME, WE SMELLED THE MEAT.

WE WERE LIKE, "HEY, WE GOT TO COME HERE."

THERE'S A LOT OF MEAT HERE, BUDDY.

PAT LaFRIEDA MEATS IS PROBABLY

ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS BUTCHERS IN THE UNITED STATES.

THEY DO THE MEAT FOR ALL THE HIGH-END RESTAURANTS.

I MEAN, THEY GOT QUALITY, QUALITY STUFF.

AND THEY'RE CELEBRATING 100 YEARS IN BUSINESS.

WE'RE HAVING A BEAUTIFUL PARTY, AND WE REALLY NEED

SOME KIND OF CAKE TO, LIKE, FINISH THAT OFF.

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW US AROUND,

AND WE'LL GET SOME IDEAS FOR THE CAKE?

Pat Jr.: THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS.

LOOK AT THIS THING.

SO, THIS IS JUST ONE QUARTER OF BEEF.

WOW. THAT'S A LOT OF MEAT, HUH, DANNY?

NICE. A LITTLE BARBECUE. NICE.

DANNY'S GETTING HUNGRY OVER HERE.

AS I'M LOOKING AROUND, AND I'M LOOKING AT THE MEAT,

I'M THINKING WE COULD REALLY REPLICATE THAT.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

SO I'M GONNA USE FONDANT AND MODELING CHOCOLATE

TO REPLICATE RAW MEAT,

AND I'M GONNA PUT IT, LIKE, ALL OVER THIS CAKE.

WE CAN'T WAIT TO BE PART OF THE EVENT

AND MAKE SOMETHING AWESOME.

ESPECIALLY BEING IN MY OWN FAMILY BUSINESS,

I KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU

TO CARRY ON THE LEGACY OR--

DANNY, DON'T STEAL MEAT.

PUT IT BACK.

YOU GOT CAUGHT.

I GOT TO SAY, LOOKING AT ALL THAT MEAT,

I WAS GETTING HUNGRY, MAN.

'CAUSE I LOVE A GOOD STEAK.

JUST SAYING.

THE MORE I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW--

AND I DON'T USUALLY DO THIS, BUT THIS MIGHT BE A SITUATION

WHERE WE DO A TRADE-OFF, A LITTLE BARTER.

MAYBE WE DO A CAKE FOR A LITTLE MEAT?

WE COULD SEND THIS WITH YOU,

BUT THERE BETTER BE A LOT OF CAKE COMING BACK.

OH, WE'LL SEND YOU A BIG CAKE. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

WE'LL BRING YOU-- I PROMISE YOU.

THE ONLY THING IS HOW WE GONNA CARRY THIS?

WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

MAN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE A REALLY BIG CAKE.

LET'S GO.

I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE STRONG.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU SENT ME A COUPLE OF LADIES, HERE.

HE'S NOT GONNA LAST LONG.

THIS THING'S GOT TO WEIGH OVER 200 POUNDS.

THIS THING IS HEAVY.

DON'T WORRY, I'LL GIVE YOU THE NAME OF MY DOCTOR

IN THE MORNING.

COME ON, YOU GUYS, LET'S GO!

WE GOT MEAT!

MAKE A RUN FOR IT!

Hello?

HEY, BEAUTIFUL. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

AWW.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT MY SON CARLO IS TURNING 4.

CAN I TALK TO HIM? IS HE THERE?

OF COURSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PARTY

WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY THERE.

AND...I GOT TO MAKE A CAKE.

HI, CARLO.

CARLO, I'M MAKING YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE.

WHAT KIND IF FILLING DO YOU WANT INSIDE?

ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU A SURPRISE CAKE.

Okay.

I LOVE YOU, CARLO.

IF I TALK LIKE THAT, WILL I GET A BIRTHDAY CAKE?

I'M GONNA BURN YOU WITH THE GLUE GUN, ALL RIGHT?

THAT'S MY LITTLE BOY.

SO, I'M THINKING OF SOMETHING KIND OF RETRO,

SOMETHING KIND OF COOL,

SOMETHING MY DAD USED TO MAKE ME.

EVERY YEAR, WHAT CAKE DID MY DAD MAKE FOR EVERY BIRTHDAY?

A NUMBER CAKE.

NUMBER ONE, NUMBER TWO, NUMBER THREE-- EVERY YEAR.

I MEAN, EVERY YEAR, THAT'S WHAT WE GOT.

FOR ME, MY SISTERS, ALL OF US.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE CAKE WE GOT EVERY YEAR, WAS A NUMBER CAKE.

YOU WERE 5, YOU GOT A 5. YOU WERE 6, YOU GOT A 6.

IT'S KIND OF, LIKE, RETRO-COOL.

WHY NOT DO AN OLD-SCHOOL NUMBER CAKE LIKE WE USED TO?

ALL RIGHT. FILL IT IN THREE.

ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN DO IT OLD SCHOOL--

WHIPPED CREAM, BALLOONS-- JUST LIKE--

LIKE MY 1st BIRTHDAY CAKE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

SO, FRANKIE USED A TEMPLATE

AND CUT THE CAKE INTO THE SHAPE OF THE NUMBER FOUR.

AND HE'S GONNA FILL IT WITH CARLO'S FAVORITE--

COOKIES AND CREAM, BABY.

HELLO, MISS JESSICA.

HI.

HOW ARE YOU, JESS?

I'M GOOD. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.

SO, BUDDY DECIDED THAT HE'S GONNA

TRY TO GIVE US A HAND IN HERE.

MY SON BUDDY, HE'S 16 NOW, AND I THINK IT'S TIME

THAT HE REALIZED THAT, YOU KNOW,

THINGS ARE NOT JUST GONNA BE GIVEN TO HIM.

HE NEEDS TO START TO WORK, JUST LIKE WE ALL DID.

WE'RE GONNA TRY, RIGHT? YOU'RE GONNA TRY AT LEAST?

YEAH.

BACK IN THE DAY WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER,

YOU COULD SAY, LIKE, MAYBE FIVE, SIX YEARS AGO,

HE WOULD COME IN, YOU KNOW, WITH US.

HEY, GUYS. WHAT'S UP?

BUT THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING WITH HIM

PUTTING HIS HANDS IN SOMETHING THAT HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO DO.

DAD, WHAT'S THIS FOR?

IT'S FOR A CAKE THAT WE'RE DOING.

CAN I HAVE A PIECE?NO. NO, NO, NO, NO.

DAD!

YOU KNOW, SCREWING THIS UP, SCREWING THAT UP.

ARE YOU KIDDING?NO, I'M NOT KIDDING.

BECAUSE IT'S FOR A CUSTOMER.

HE GOT YELLED AT A LITTLE BIT BUT, YOU KNOW,

HE WAS YOUNG, TOO.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FIRST?

DIRTY ICE. ALL RIGHTY.

COMING AND WORKING HERE, I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT,

TRYING TO JUST FIGURE OUT WHERE I SHOULD BE IN THE BUSINESS.

I'M A PEOPLE PERSON.

I DON'T LIKE MANUAL LABOR.

BUT I'M GONNA GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT.

GO AHEAD.

HOW DO I START?

THE CAKE HAS TO BE IN THE MIDDLE.

THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE.

NO.

I DON'T THINK IT'S FUNNY, REALLY, ME PERSONALLY.

I THINK IT'S HYSTERICAL.

IT KEEPS MOVING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR NAME IS BUDDY.

YOU GOT MORE BUTTER--

I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. SORRY.

BUDDY, YOU'RE NOT TAKING THIS STUFF SERIOUSLY.

I TOLD YOU, IF YOU'RE COMING HERE,

YOU'RE COMING HERE TO WORK, NOT TO PLAY.

I'M JUST TELLING YOU.

YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AT THIS CAKE,

AND IT'S, OH NOT TOO GOOD.

IT'S A LITTLE LUMPY.

MAYBE DECORATING'S NOT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE NOT READY FOR THIS.

MAYBE I CAN WORK IN SCULPTING.

NO.

WE MIGHT HAVE TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE IN ANOTHER ROOM.

WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.

I NEED TO FLIP THIS GUY OVER NOW.

FOR THIS MEAT CAKE, ME AND MY GUYS,

WE NEEDED A LITTLE INSPIRATION.

AND BY THAT, I MEAN A STEAK DINNER,

COOKED AND BUTCHERED BY YOURS TRULY.

LOOK, HOW HARD COULD IT BE TO CUT A COW?

THIS THING WEIGHS AS MUCH AS A COW!

OKAY.

AH.

ALL RIGHT, BIG TIME.

I GOT TO TELL YOU, THIS BUTCHER STUFF AIN'T EASY.

DEFINITELY... RATHER BE MAKING A CAKE.

I FINALLY GOT IT BUTCHERED UP,

SO NOW I'M GONNA COOK UP THIS SIDE OF BEEF

THAT I TRADED FOR A CAKE.

I'M CALLING IT AN INSPIRATIONAL MEAL.

WE GOT SOME NICE STEAK, SOME NICE VINO.

I MEAN, IT'S NICEY-NICE, BABY.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING.

OH, BOY, IT SMELLS GREAT IN HERE. WHAT IS iT?

OKAY, STEAKS ARE COMING OUT.

WE'RE JUST GONNA BRING THIS...

OH, MY GOD.

OOH, WHAT DO I SMELL IN HERE?

WHO'S THIS GUY HERE?

WHAT? WHAT IS THIS?

THIS IS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

IT LOOKS LIKE ROASTING AND DELICIOUSNESS.

OHHH.

OH, MY GOD.

HE PICKED IT...

HE AIN'T EVEN CUTTING IT.

I'M VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

TO GOOD MEAT.TO GOOD MEAT.

HEY. THIS GUY'S GOT THE BOTTLE.

WE GOT TO GO TO WORK AFTER THIS, CHEECH.

WE'VE EATEN THEIR HALF OF THE DEAL.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO MAKE OUR HALF.

NOW WE GOT TO GO MAKE A CAKE, OKAY?

I'M NOT DONE WITH LUNCH YET.

COME ON.

NOW THAT WE'VE HAD SUCH A BIG LUNCH,

I THINK WE ALL NEED A NAP.

BUT WE GOT TO GET WORKING ON THIS CAKE.

WE GOT INSPIRATION, THAT'S FOR SURE.

SO, I GOT DANNY STACKING VANILLA SPONGE

WITH CHOCOLATE-AND-VANILLA CRUMBLE FILLING.

ONCE WE GET THESE CAKES COVERED IN FONDANT,

WE CAN SLAB THE MEAT ALL OVER THIS CAKE.

I GOT TO COVER THIS MONSTER WITH MEAT.

LET'S BAKE SOME MEAT.

TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT MARBLEIZATION FOR THE STEAKS,

I MEAN, IT'S TRIAL AND ERROR.

SO I TWISTED RED AND WHITE FONDANT TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, HOW MANY TURNS DO I GIVE IT?

THEN I CUT IT, AND I OPEN IT,

AND THEN I PUT IT THROUGH THE SHEETER.

I WANTED IT TO LOOK LIKE A PERFECT STEAK.

THAT'S WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT.

ALL RIGHT. THERE WE GO.

NEW YORK STRIP.

NICE.

NOW THAT I HAVE THE LOOK I WANT,

I'M GONNA GET ALL MY DECORATORS WORKING ON MEAT.

I MEAN HUNDREDS OF PIECES AND CUTS OF DIFFERENT STEAKS,

AND HAMBURGERS AND GROUND BEEF, STRIP STEAK, CHICKEN, PORK,

TOMAHAWK, SAUSAGES.

YOU NAME IT, IT'S GOING ON THERE.

I'M GONNA KEEP IT OLD-SCHOOL, LIKE MY DAD USED TO MAKE FOR ME.

FOR MY SON CARLO'S 4th BIRTHDAY CAKE,

WE'RE DOING THIS BABY OLD-SCHOOL-- WHIPPED CREAM.

BRINGS ME BACK TO A LOT OF MEMORIES.

YEARS AGO, MY DAD, ALL THE CAKES WE DID WAS WHIPPED CREAM.

SO I WANTED TO GO BACK TO THAT TRADITION

AND DO EVERYTHING IN WHIPPED CREAM, OLD-SCHOOL.

I HAVEN'T DONE ONE OF THESE CAKES IN A LONG TIME.

REMEMBER HOW TO DO IT?

SEE IF I STILL GOT MY KNIFE SKILLS, FRANKIE.

KNIFE SKILLS? WHAT ARE YOU, A NINJA?

HEY, GUYS. WHAT'S UP?

HEY, BUD.

OH, THIS IS COOL.

KIND OF KICKING IT OLD-SCHOOL, VINTAGE.

I KNO-- REMEMBER? THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

MY SISTER LISA CAME IN, AND SHE SAW ME DOING THE CAKE,

AND JUST REMINISCED ABOUT ALL THOSE OLD CAKES

THAT MY DAD USED TO MAKE FOR US.

AND THEY WERE, LIKE, THOSE OLD-SCHOOL...

FIGURINES. ...FIGURINES.

THEY HAD, LIKE, LEAD PAINT ON THEM.

YES!

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK,

SO I WILL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

AND, YEAH. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE CAKE.

I THINK BACK TO ALL THOSE YEARS,

AND ALL THOSE NUMBER CAKES THAT MY DAD MADE,

AND I REMEMBER HIM TEACHING ME HOW TO DO A NUMBER CAKE.

AND IT JUST BROUGHT BACK SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES.

HE WAS THE BEST.

NOBODY WAS BETTER THAN HIM, AND...I MISS HIM.

I MISS HIM A LOT.

HE'S GOT THE SAME HANDLING-- LIKE HIS FATHER.

Shh. HE'S CONCENTRATING.

SORRY.

BRINGS ME BACK TO A LOT OF MEMORIES.

THERE'S JUST CERTAIN THINGS THAT NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE.

THIS IS A CLASSIC

THAT WILL ALWAYS BE A CLASSIC AT CARLO'S BAKERY.

I LOVE IT.

HELLO, MR. FRANK.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE TODAY?

SO, BUBBA WANTED TO TRY WORKING HERE.

WE GAVE HIM A LITTLE BIT OF A SHOT IN THE DECORATING ROOM.

IT DIDN'T GO SO WELL.

SEE WHAT YOU CAN HAVE HIM DO INSIDE HERE,

JUST TO HELP OUT A LITTLE BIT.

THERE'S PLENTY TO DO HERE.

OH, GOD.

HAVE FUN.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GRANDPA USED TO SAY?

WHAT?

"YOU WANT TO WORK IN THIS BUSINESS,

YOU START AT THE BOTTOM." THIS IS THE BOTTOM.

WELL, THIS FEELS LIKE IT.

I WAS THINKING MAYBE I WAS GONNA START IN THE MIDDLE,

LIKE, ASSISTANT MANAGER.

THESE?

ALL THESE PANS.

OR SUPERVISOR.

DON'T YOU HAVE A WASHING MACHINE?

YEAH.

IT'S CALLED A SINK, YOUR HANDS...

BUT HE REALLY MEANT BOTTOM.

...AND STEEL WOOL.

WHAT IS THIS?

START SCRUBBING.

LIKE, WHAT IS THIS? IT'S NOT THE STONE AGE.

WE HAVE TECHNOLOGY.

YOU GOT A HALF-HOUR TO GET ALL THESE CLEAN.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

I'LL BE BACK IN FIVE MINUTES TO CHECK ON YOU.

FIVE MINUTES?

DISGUSTING.

UGH, WHAT IS THIS?

I CAN FEEL THE CRUSTED JELLY COMING OFF, THE CHOCOLATE.

IT'S FLYING ALL OVER MY FACE, MY GLASSES, MY JACKET.

I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL.

I'M OVER THIS.

THERE'S NO WAY I'M GETTING THESE DONE

IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME HE'S GIVEN ME.

THE ROOM HAS A LOT OF CORNERS, A LOT OF PANS.

THROW A FEW PANS IN THE CORNER.

HE'LL COME IN THE NEXT DAY,

THEY'LL BE CLEAN FROM THE CREW THAT COMES IN AFTER ME.

IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, I'M A GENIUS.

SEE HOW FAST I GO?

SEE HOW FAST YOU GO?

IT WAS UP TO HERE.

OKAY. WHERE ARE THEY?

I-I PUT THEM BACK IN THE ROOMS.

THEY GO OVER THERE.

FRANKIE WALKED IN LIKE HE WAS, LIKE, MY PAROLE OFFICER.

PUT THAT BACK.

NOW THAT WE GOT THIS MEAT READY,

IT'S TIME TO SLAB THE MEAT ALL OVER THIS CAKE.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

IT'S THEIR FAMILY BUSINESS, KIND OF LIKE OURS.

SO IT'S, LIKE, THE DAD, THE COUSIN, THE SON.

SO, MY SON MARCO HAD A SNOW DAY,

AND WHENEVER HE'S GOT A DAY OFF OF SCHOOL,

HE WANTS TO COME TO WORK WITH HIS DAD.

SO, I FIGURE LET HIM HELP US MAKE THIS CAKE.

PUT THAT ON THE TOP.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING.

ALL RIGHT, MINI-BOSS. GET ME A BUTTERCREAM BAG.

OVER THERE!

HE'S KIND OF, LIKE, PUTTING HIS SPIN ON IT.

LIKE, "PUT THIS PIECE OF MEAT HERE AND THERE."

HEY, MAN. CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.

ALL RIGHT, DAD.

CHICKENS DON'T MAKE DUCKS.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT IT'S A 100-YEAR-OLD BUSINESS.

AND THEN ABOVE THAT, KIND OF, LIKE, HOLDING

THIS OVERSIZED T-BONE, LIKE, CARTOONY,

PAT AND HIS DAD AND HIS COUSIN MARK.

CAME OUT FREAKING AWESOME.

IT LOOKS GOOD.

I WANT TO GET ANOTHER STEAK OVER HERE.

MARCO, FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU BECOME THE BOSS,

YOU GIVE UNCLE MAURO A RAISE.

UH-HUH. ALL RIGHT.

I WOULDN'T FIRE ANYBODY HERE.

NOT EVEN YOU, EVEN THOUGH I'M GONNA BE THE BOSS.

ME? YOU'RE GONNA FIRE ME?

NO, I'M NOT GONNA FIRE YOU.

OH, THANK YOU, MARCO. I GET TO KEEP MY JOB. THANKS.

WE'RE DOING GOOD.

IT'S A WORK OF ART, MAN.

I THINK THEY'RE GONNA LOVE IT.

IF I WAS A BUTCHER, THIS IS THE CAKE I'D WANT.

I GOT TO TELL YOU, WHEN WE FINISHED THIS CAKE, I LOVED IT.

I MEAN, THE CROWN ROAST ON TOP,

ALL THE DIFFERENT OTHER CUTS OF MEAT,

EVERYTHING ON THERE JUST LOOKED LIKE A BUTCHER'S PARADISE.

I MEAN, I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA LOOK AT THIS CAKE

AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY.

WHEN I DO THIS CAKE,

AND I THINK OF THEM BEING IN BUSINESS FOR 100 YEARS,

I THINK ABOUT US.

NOW WE'RE BRINGING ON THE NEXT GENERATION.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED WITH DADDY?

YOU DIDN'T LIKE ICING THE CAKES?

DIDN'T WORK OUT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DIDN'T WORK OUT?

I DIDN'T LIKE WORKING WITH DAD,

AND I DIDN'T LIKE WORKING WITH FRANKIE.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT

BECAUSE YOU'RE MY SON.

I DIDN'T EXPECT ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT.

I DIDN'T EXPECT IT.

YOU'RE GONNA WORK IF YOU'RE HERE.

I KNOW.

MY SON BUDDY WANTS TO WORK IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS.

I MEAN, HE TRIED THE DECORATING ROOM,

WHICH WASN'T GOING SO WELL, BUT HE'S NOT USED TO HARD LABOR.

YOU KNOW, AT HOME, I CAN'T EVEN GET HIM TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH.

THE STORE'S BUSY.

LIKE, YOU GOT TO WORK IF YOU'RE GONNA COME HERE.

I KNOW.

IT'S NOT PLAYTIME. I KNOW.

YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH WHERE YOU SHOULD.

WHAT, ARE YOU GONNA FIRE ME?

YEAH, IF I HAVE-- YOU GOT FIRED OVER THERE.

THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO PUT YOU. THIS IS IT.

I KNOW.ALL RIGHT, SO COME ON.

LET'S GET TO WORK.OKAY.

Buddy C.: HI, HOW ARE YOU?HI. GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

"WELCOME TO CARLO'S BAKERY. I'M BUDDY.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY?"HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

NO. "WELCOME TO CARLO'S BAKERY..."

WELCOME TO CARLO'S BAKERY.

I'M BUDDY. HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

I MEAN, HE IS A REAL FRIENDLY KID.

I THINK IT MIGHT WORK OUT HERE.

BUT WE'LL SEE.

OKAY, SO, THIS IS THE BOX TIER.

YOUR FOOT CONTROLS IT.

PUT IT HERE. YOU STEP.

OKAY? YOU TURN THE BOX.

DONE. EASY. SIMPLE.

WATCH YOUR FINGERS.

OOH, YOUR FIRST ORDER.

HEY, IF THIS IS WHAT HE CHOOSES TO DO,

I'LL BE COMING TO WORK WITH MY SON.

YOU WERE HIS FIRST CUSTOMER.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD JOB.

Buddy C.: NUMBER [Voice cracks] 53--

OH, MY GOD. I JUST, LIKE, CRACKED.

ARE YOU BEING HELPED?

YEAH, THE CRUMB CAKE IS WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR.

THAT AND THE CANNOLIS, YEAH.

FOUR CANNOLIS? LARGE OR SMALL?

LARGE, PLEASE.

AND WE ALSO HAVE THE SHELLS ARE DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE,

IF YOU WOULD LIKE.HOW ABOUT TWO AND TWO?

OKAY. PERFECT.

Yeah?

HE'S DOING REALLY GOOD.

That's good, 'cause he didn't like being here.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING?

PEANUT-BUTTER COOKIES ARE MY FAVORITE.

I'M TELLING YOU, I THINK THIS IS WHERE WE NEEDED HIM TO BE.

I'M A VERY BIG PEOPLE PERSON.

I GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE.

AND THAT'S WHY DANNY AND FRANKIE ARE IN THE BACK OF THE BAKERY,

AND I'M HERE IN THE FRONT.

HI, GUYS. WELCOME TO CARLO'S BAKERY. MY NAME IS BUDDY.

THIS CAKE LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMING HOME TO THE MEAT FACTORY.

IT SMELLS LIKE MEAT IN HERE.

RIGHT? IT LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS HERE.

IT IS A MEAT PLACE.

THEY USE EVERY SQUARE INCH.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TURN IT SIDEWAYS

TO GET DOWN THAT HALLWAY.

OKAY, SO, LISTEN--

WE GOT TO GO THROUGH THAT DOOR AND DOWN THE HALL.

BUT IS IT A SKINNY HALLWAY OR NO?

IT'S A SKINNY HALLWAY.

THE PROBLEM MAKING CAKES THIS BIG

IS YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET.

LEAVING THERE'S NO PROBLEM, BUT WHERE YOU GO--

ARE YOU GONNA FIT THROUGH THE DOOR?

ARE YOU GONNA FIT IN THE ELEVATOR?

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?

WATCH. WATCH.

ALL RIGHT, MARCO. YOU LEAD THE WAY.

ME? YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU FIGURE, IT'S A WAREHOUSE,

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

KEEP COMING. LITTLE MORE. EASY.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

IT'S SLIDING. IT'S SLIDING THE CAKE.

I'M NOT ON-- SOMEBODY ELSE HAS GOT TO GET IN HERE.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

KEEP COMING. A LITTLE MORE. EASY.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

IT'S SLIDING. IT'S SLIDING THE CAKE.

WE'RE TRYING TO FIT THIS HUGE MEAT CAKE

THROUGH A TINY, LITTLE DOOR OPENING.

AND IT AIN'T WORKING.

SOMEBODY ELSE HAS GOT TO GET IN HERE.

COME ON THIS SIDE, BABE.

SEEING DANNY TRY TO SQUEEZE UNDER THE TABLE WAS LIKE

TRYING TO STUFF 10 POUNDS OF SAUSAGE INTO A 5-POUND BAG.

BUT, HEY, DANNY'S THE MAN. IT WORKED.

WE FINALLY GET THIS CAKE THROUGH THE HALLWAYS, OFF THE ELEVATOR.

WE BARELY FIT.OKAY, I'M IN.

AND THIS CAKE WAS HEAVY.

HEAVY LIKE A SIDE OF BEEF.

HERE COMES THE CAKE!

MARONE! LOOK AT THIS.

NOW, THAT IS A CAKE.

WOW.

THAT IS INSANE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

BUDDY, YOU NAILED EVERY CUT.

LIKE, EVERYTHING IS THERE. THAT'S IT.

I GOT TO TELL YOU, AFTER THE COW, BUTCHERING IT UP,

I HAVE A WHOLE NEW APPRECIATION FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO.

UNREAL. YOU OUTDID YOURSELF.

I MEAN, THIS BLEW ME AWAY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THIS BIG.

I'M SURPRISED THE FLOOR'S HOLDING IT UP.

SO, WHO WANTS TO EAT SOME CAKE?

Pat Jr.: BUDDY DID AN AMAZING JOB.

I'M LOOKING AT THIS CAKE AND SEEING THESE CUTS ON THERE,

AND IT'S SO REAL, I THOUGHT IT WAS RAW MEAT.

THAT IS AMAZING.

YOU OUTDID YOURSELF ON THIS ONE, BUDDY.

TO THE LaFRIEDA FAMILY,

MAY YOU HAVE ANOTHER 100 YEARS OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY

WITH THE BEST MEAT IN AMERICA, BABY.

ARE YOU HAVING FUN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY?

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE CARLO'S REACTION

WHEN HE SEES THIS OLD-SCHOOL NUMBER CAKE.

OH, MY GOODNESS!

MAMMA MIA!

LOOK HOW BIG! LOOK AT THAT!

THAT'S YOUR CAKE!

WHAT NUMBER IS THAT?

FOUR.FOUR.

THAT'S OLD-SCHOOL.OLD-SCHOOL.

IT LOOKS LIKE DADDY MADE IT.

TIME GOES BY SO QUICK.

MAYBE I GOT TO HAVE ANOTHER KID. I GOT TO TELL MY WIFE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON. MWAH!

YAY!

THAT'S MY BOY!
