So, Rosie honey, are you excited

about spending the whole summer with us?

Yes, ma'am. Mom told me about all the cool things

there are to do, like fishing. And the festival.

Don't forget, that Red Rock summer camp is coming up very soon.

That'd be a great opportunity for you to make some new friends.

Whatever happens, it's going to be an amazing summer.

Wait and see. Look, honey.

I told her it doesn't really matter whether I have to go dead.

I don't think so!

Surprise!

That's ama... Thank you!

You didn't have to do all that!

- Don't be silly, sweetheart. - Welcome home, Tyler. Come on!

George!

We missed you.

Look at you, Rosie. You've grown.

You were just a baby when I saw you last time.

- I am George. - Hi.

- Are you hungry, sweetheart? - Yeah.

How about I fix you a nice, big stack of blueberry pancakes?

Yes, please.

- She's huge! - I know. She's so big now.

And you're probably wondering where Eddie is.

Actually, Jo already told us,

and I figured you wouldn't want to talk about it.

That's sweet, but honestly, the divorce was final

over two years ago, and Eddie and I just realized

we're better as friends than we were as husband and wife.

I know the feeling. I made two friends the exact same way.

How long are you and Rosie staying?

The whole summer.

Rosie really wanted to spend her birthday here,

and guess I needed a bit of a breather.

I'll bet you're nice and busy at the big,

fancy restaurant out in San Francisco.

Yup. Yeah, pretty busy.

It's so good to be back here, though.

- Everything looks exactly the same. - We don't like change.

Any chance you guys have an extra apron in the back?

You know, your mama hangs your apron in the same spot.

Of course she does.

...sugar. Now, your mom was telling me

that you have got a teacher that you really, really like.

What, what are you doing?

I thought I'd help with the lunch rush.

You've been in town less than thirty minutes,

and you already want to get back to work?

Yup. Some things never change.

No! My CD player! You still have this?

It's right where I left it.

This was my favorite!

No I can't dance! I cannot dance!

Okay, so just give them some of that Texas charm, and you'll be done.

Let's do it.

Alright, alright! Can I get everyone's attention?

I have to get on out of here before Corey finds out I'm a vegetarian.

As you all know, we're here celebrating the release

of Corey's newest cookbook, "Tales of a Texas Pit Master",

which - and I haven't even told him this yet -

just reached enough advance sales to make it his third best seller!

Hey, that's all you guys. No, no, that's, that's you guys.

In the ten years since he arrived from a little town in central Texas,

Corey's built a barbecue empire that includes his books,

a product line, and three restaurants he's opened.

So, let's give it up for Corey Turner!

You know, for a vegetarian, she sure eats a lot of ribs.

No. Listen, I do want to say a special thank you

to my manager, Sofia Johnson.

She has single-handedly helped me achieve all my dreams,

...and I will be forever grateful.

So, thank you guys for taking your lunch

and coming here to help us celebrate.

It's been an amazing, and exhausting journey.

One of my favorite quotes is from the late journalist,

named Harriet Von Horne, who said,

"Cooking is a lot like love. It should be entered into...

...with abandon, or not at all".

Well, I have entered into all of this with abandon,

but I've done it with each of you at my side.

I love you guys, and thank you, and go eat some more brisket.

Baby backs and mac are up.

Hey, Tyler, come here a sec.

- Tell me what you think. - Okay.

Maybe a pinch more butter and chive.

I think you may be right.

It's good to have you back in the kitchen.

It feels good to be back.

George, it seems slow for lunch. What gives?

Well, I hadn't really noticed.

George? You've worked here for twenty years.

- You notice everything. - Probably just a slow day.

Okay, you're not fooling me. Give it up.

Okay, but you did not hear this from me.

It's been slow like this for a while.

Two new, flashier barbecue restaurants opened up in town this past year,

and they've pulled a lot of our business away.

Your mama won't say anything, but she's worried.

So are we all.

I'll go check on the smoker.

Okay.

What you drawing, ladybug?

That's really good! It's a keeper.

Thank you.

So, your grandma said they still have some spots left at that summer camp.

Think you might want to try it? It's just for two weeks.

What if I go, and no one likes me?

What are you talking about? Why wouldn't they like you?

You're smart and funny. Of course they're going to love you!

You just have to say those things because you're my mom.

No, I have to say them because they're true.

Alright. Well, the meat's cooked, but the Staubach just quit on us.

There we go.

So, Staubach is the smoker?

Yup. Named after your grandfather's favorite Dallas Cowboy, Roger Staubach.

And the backbone of this place.

Ray always used to say, "Without the right smoker,

your barbecue ain't going to be right".

So, we got him back, but how long has he been on the fritz?

A little while now.

Seems like something new breaks down every day around here.

- I heard that! - Heard what?

Rosie, come help me in the kitchen.

Okay!

Mom, how come you haven't said anything?

Oh, honey. There's nothing to say.

Oh, come on. The smoker, the broken appliances, fewer customers?

It's, it's nothing. Trust me. We're going to be fine.

Things work themselves out. Now, come on.

We've got hungry mouths to feed.

And that's done.

Okay. So, admit it. You had fun.

Of course I did. I always have fun.

It's true. You definitely have more energy than

any of my other clients. That's for sure.

And you're going to need it for the meeting with the network tomorrow.

I think they're going to make you an offer.

Wait. You set that for tomorrow?

Don't tell me you forgot.

No, I didn't forget. Maybe you forgot.

I'm flying to Texas tomorrow.

Corey, this is the network. All the top executives are going to be there.

What can possibly be more important than this?

I know, I know. I just know that we talked about this.

I'm supposed to be on a plane first thing in the morning to Texas.

No, you said you were thinking about going to Texas.

There's a difference.

I promised Jay.

- And who is Jay again? - My best friend from high school.

Let me get this straight. You're putting Jay, from high school,

over a national TV show that could change your life?

Look. I promised him that I would go back

to our hometown's annual barbecue cook off.

Corey.

Attendance is down. He thought I could help him out.

I am sure he'll understand that this is the priority,

and you have to back out.

You know what? Where I'm from, when you make a promise, you keep it.

I'm sure that you can use your magic with the network,

and they'll be happy to reschedule for later.

Fine.

I'll buy us some time. Just please get back here ASAP.

You're not the only chef who wants a TV show.

Thank you.

I'm telling you, man. It is so good to have you back, buddy.

It's been like fifteen years since you moved out to New York?

Yeah, something like that.

Well, I've got to tell you, I really appreciate all those times

that you hosted me and Karen out there.

That loft of yours is amazing.

Hey, whatever happened with that? Huh?

You guys were together seven years.

I never got that far.

Yeah, I know. It's just, when she got that job out in Chicago, I just couldn't...

I didn't have it in me to move. Red Rock is where I belong.

I get it.

This place's changed some, huh?

Yeah, but it still feels like home.

- This you? - Yup, this is us.

- This is yours? - It's just a little renter I own.

Nobody's here right now. I figure it's the perfect place

for you while you're in town.

I mean, gas range, smoker out there.

Not bad, huh?

And I have got you a fully stocked fridge.

Nice.

See? I know how to treat my celebrity guest.

Stop it.

Listen, thank you again for coming out.

Really, I mean it. It means so much to everyone.

And your name alone is going to seriously boost our attendance this year.

I don't know about that.

And I don't know who would put you in charge of this festival.

I mean, did they not know you in high school?

What are you talking about? I was a good high school student.

- Jay. - When I showed up.

Right. And now you're a teacher. And a real estate mogul, apparently.

- What is the world coming to? - Well, don't worry.

I am not going to challenge your status

as Red Rock's most notable son anytime soon.

I'm going to make an omelet. Do you want one?

I'd love to, but I've got to go.

I'm volunteering at the town summer camp.

You're what? You're volunteering?

Come on! Who are you? Thank you, man.

- See you soon. - Appreciate you.

And there's still time for anyone who wants to enter

the annual Red Rock Barbecue Cook Off, but you'd better hurry!

- Something smells good in here. - Good morning.

Good morning. So, are you thinking of signing up for that cook off?

- Probably not. - Well, why not?

I saw you in the restaurant yesterday.

Didn't miss a beat.

I don't know. The contest was always your and Daddy's thing, not mine.

Sure. I'm just saying it could be your thing, too if you wanted.

I don't know. I think I'll stick with French cuisine.

Whatever makes you happy, hon. That's all I care about.

I forgot. I saw one of Corey's cookbooks in the kitchen.

I thought that was really nice, what he wrote to you.

- Yeah, wasn't that sweet of him? - Who's Corey?

Good morning. Corey is... was...

Corey is your mom's good friend.

Here you go, sweetie.

When Dad and I FaceTimed last night, he said he might

try to fly in for my birthday.

That would be great.

Why are you wearing a backpack?

Well, I was thinking I might want to go

to summer camp today, if you're okay with it.

Of course I'm okay with it. I think that's a great idea.

Why don't you eat your breakfast,

and then I'll drive you over to camp?

Thank you.

Okay, gather round, everyone! Please, gather round.

Welcome to this year's Red Rock Summer Camp!

Yeah! Now, over the next two weeks,

we want all of you to try as many new experiences as you can.

Whether that's a dance class, or a nature hike, or horseback riding.

The goal here is for you to have the best summer of your life!

Alright, before we start, I'm going to ask you for a favor.

I would like you to help us tell everyone

about the Red Rock Barbecue Cook Off and Festival

by handing out these flyers after camp, alright?

You, there.

- Hand these out? - Sure.

- There you go. - Okay.

And here's some for you.

Alright, before we get on to our first activity,

I'm going to give you an assignment.

Don't worry! It's not homework, I promise!

I just want you to start documenting your camp experience.

And that could be anything that you want.

It could be taking photos, drawing pictures,

anything that is going to tell the story of your summer.

And it's not due until the very end of camp.

Now, let's split up into threes, and let's go!

Do you want to come join us for the treasure hunt?

Sure!

Tyler, you should be outside enjoying this beautiful summer's day.

I am enjoying it, by cooking in your kitchen again.

I'm very glad to have you around, so I'm not going to complain.

Do you think that Eddie's actually going to get here for Rosie's birthday?

I don't know. He's got a lot on his plate right now.

I don't want Rosie to get her hopes up.

Everything alright with his business?

Yeah. Yeah, it's...

What?

I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't say anything,

but Eddie and the other investors decided to close

the San Francisco restaurant. So, I am currently out of a job.

What happened?

You know how it is. At first you're the hottest place in town,

until something new opens up.

- Honey. I'm sorry. - No, it's okay, it's okay.

When I get back, I'll line up some interviews,

and my savings will get us through until then.

- You sure you'll be okay? - Yes, I will be fine.

Honestly, I could use the break, and maybe it's for the best.

They didn't seem like they were going to offer me...

...the head chef position anytime soon.

Couldn't Eddie have said something?

No, I didn't want him to do that.

I only wanted to move up if it was because of my skill.

Good for you.

Hey there, ladybug.

I can't believe I barely had time to talk to you

since you got back from camp.

- How was it? - It was really fun.

I think I even made some new friends.

- That is great. - And you should enter this.

I don't know.

I don't exactly look like your every day barbecue chef.

Mom, I'm not kidding. You could totally win this.

Well, thank you for the vote of confidence.

Lights out in ten.

Do you remember that day?

One of many wins for you and Daddy.

I'm going to enter the contest this year.

What? Really? Honey! Why the change of heart?

Well, $25,000 would really help around here.

Think about it. New appliances, new parts for the smoker,

and being in the contest is going to bring in

a lot of free advertising for the restaurant.

Tyler, honey, that's very sweet of you, but...

Mom, don't be so stubborn. I want to help you.

- Alright. - Okay.

Alright, sweetie.

Besides, I'm doing this for me, too.

I want to show Rosie that sometimes taking risks is important,

and you'll never win unless you try.

That is my girl.

- Jay? - Tyler!

I can't believe it! It's so good to see you!

It's good to see you, too! It's been a while.

Yeah. What are you doing here?

They said this is where to sign up for the contest, so here I am.

Well, this is it. Actually, I'm in charge of running the festival this year.

Can you believe that? Of course you can!

It's so good to see you.

I'm so glad you're going to be competing in the cook off.

- Yeah, me too. - And I don't know if you heard...

...but we announced the participation of a celebrity chef.

He's going to be joining us all week, and taking part in the cook off finale.

- That's exciting! Who is it? - Actually, I think you know him.

Is it me, or does it feel like we just saw each other yesterday?

I was just thinking the same thing!

I know! I mean, probably because we haven't aged at all.

So true. No, we look exactly the same.

Exactly.

Seriously, Corey, you did so well for yourself.

The cookbooks, and the restaurant,

and I think I might even own one of your spatulas.

That's embarrassing.

No! Are you kidding?

Do you know what I'd give for a product line?

Well, it has paid some bills.

I bet. And I'm sure your parents are very proud.

Speaking of your parents, how are they?

They're great. They retired to Coco Beach.

What about you, huh? How have you been?

Hey, I heard you have a daughter.

I do. I do. Her name's Rosie.

That's great.

Let me guess who your source is. My mom?

Your mom, yeah.

And full disclosure, I Googled you.

Really?

Probably once. Really?

Well, something you might not know about me is I'm divorced.

Nope, knew that, too.

- My mom. - Your mom.

How was that? I bet that was hard.

You know, it was actually very friendly.

Good.

We just really wanted to keep everything normal for Rosie,

so that became the most important thing.

Yeah, of course.

I almost forgot. I saw one of your cookbooks...

...at my mom's house. It was Life is a BBQ.

And I wanted to thank you for what you wrote about my mom.

Look, I meant it. It's the truth.

Everything I learned, I learned from them in that restaurant.

How long are you in town for?

I'm going to have to go back to New York right after the competition.

Figured.

I should head back to the restaurant.

Yeah. Yeah.

It was really nice seeing you again.

You, too.

Maybe we can see each other again.

Maybe.

You look great, Tyler.

Isn't it great to see Corey back in town again?

Yeah, it's been a long time.

Have you been able to catch up with him at all?

I actually saw him at the sign up for the cook offs.

It was amazing to see how he hasn't changed with all that success.

You know, I know you were both young, but I always thought

that you two were going to end up together.

Yeah. I think we were just too much alike.

You know, we were two headstrong kids

who wanted to take the world by storm, and...

- Oh, honey. - Thank you.

You never told me that before.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Yeah, well, I bet you had a hunch.

Well, maybe.

I'm just glad that the two of you are going to be

cooking together again. You know, like the old days.

We're not going to be cooking together.

Even if I do make it into the final round,

we're going to be competing against each other.

Thank you.

I'm just saying, it's nice that you're going to be spending some time together again.

He's single right now, isn't he?

Ma.

Okay, fine. I won't say another word.

What do I know, anyway? I'm just your mother.

Yeah, good. Don't put the holes too close together.

Okay. Why?

Well, we puncture the meat to let it breathe

while it's cooking.

That's silly.

It kind of is, but it's also very important.

Ladybug, can you grab me a tomato?

Sure.

Hey, Mom, do you think we can try one of the recipes

from your friend Corey's cookbook?

Grandma, are you okay?

I'm sorry, honey. I'm fine, yeah.

Grandma just needs to be a little more careful next time, right, Grandma?

Why don't we put this away so we can focus on what we're making?

Go check your dish.

Okay.

No, no. Staubach, don't quit on me now.

Okay.

Alright. Okay.

Just give me till the end of the competition, okay, Big Guy?

Hi, Eddie.

Hey! Just wanted to touch base, and see how you're holding up.

It's been really nice being back in Red Rock.

I even entered the barbecue contest.

That's great! You're back behind a smoker again! Fantastic!

It only took fifteen years.

How's Rosie?

She's good. She's spending the day with my mom.

Do you think you're going to make it for her birthday?

I hope so, but I'm about to catch a flight to San Diego.

We've got a new place opening up this weekend.

The manager just quit, so...

Right, right. But it would mean a lot to her, so I...

Final boarding call for Flight 342 to San Diego.

Yeah, I'll do my best, but I've got to go.

Tell Rosie I'll call her tonight. Bye.

Bye.

Hello again.

Hello.

Well, how are you on this fine Texas morning?

Fine. I'm just running some errands.

Yeah? Anything I can help with?

No, I got it.

I'm sure you do.

- I remember that. - What?

That disarming smile of yours.

No that was my charming smile. This is my disarming smile.

Okay, okay.

Do you want to grab dinner later?

I don't think that's a good idea.

I mean, we're competitors now.

Right, right. I mean, but really are we?

Because I'm just competing against the finalist.

Well, we don't know.

Okay! So, you don't think I'm going to make it into the finals.

I don't know. French cuisine?

You might be a little rusty back there.

I will have you know that I will be competing against you in the finals.

And therefore, we need to act accordingly.

And so I can't afford any distractions.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, and a special welcome to the contestants.

We are thrilled to have you here!

Alright!

Now, this year's cook off will take place over the course of a week,

leading to our grand finale, which will close out our festival.

Now, the first round is going to be an on-site cook off,

and the menu will consist of chicken, plus one side of your choice.

Your meals will be evaluated by our esteemed judges.

After which they will eliminate six contestants.

Four will remain for the semi-final.

After the semi-finals, only one contestant

will be selected to participate in the grand finale,

where they will face off against our own celebrity chef,

Red Rock's Corey Turner.

And there, a champion will be crowned,

and good luck to you all!

Chef Corey, can I ask you some questions?

Yes, of course.

How does it feel being back home again?

I love Red Rock. Being here kind of feels like I never left.

Excuse me, one sec. Hey.

Let me know if you change your mind about dinner.

Don't think that smile is going to change my mind,

or help you win this contest, either, Mister Turner.

Well, okay then. Let the games begin.

Sorry about that.

What's going on in here?

Mom is testing a new sauce for the competition.

I figured since people are starting to come into town for the festival,

we could set up a sampling tray out in front,

and drum up some new business.

And get people excited about the restaurant!

I love that idea.

Anything that gets new customers in is okay with me.

That is delicious, Tyler.

Good. Then take this tray. I'm putting you to work.

Alright.

Sofia, hey. How are you?

Do you realize this is the first time we've talked since you left?

No, I know. I know. It's just been slammed,

and they've got a couple of more things scheduled for me, and then...

You know, hey, listen. Maybe we can just do a video conference.

No, we can't do a video conference. They need to see you in person.

And Corey, they're losing patience.

I can't stall them forever.

I know. I know. Sorry.

Best barbecue in Red Rock!

Come and get your free samples, and come on in!

Hey, listen. I'm going to call you back, okay? Alright.

I'm not...

Finished!

- Excuse me, are these for anyone? - Why, yes they are!

- It's great to see you! - It's so nice to see you!

- You look great! - Thank you. So do you.

How are things in that big city of yours?

You know, a little different than Red Rock here, but...

You know, being here makes me pump the brakes a little bit.

Which I need.

Well, home has a way of doing that.

Yeah. This is a good idea.

Oh, yes. It's Tyler's idea.

It's her brisket, actually. Do you want to try some?

Absolutely.

That's amazing. Hey, is she here?

Yeah, she's around back at the smoker.

How's old Staubach doing?

What are you doing back here?

I was just out, out front with your mom, and I tasted your brisket.

Ty, man, it's crazy good.

Like, really. The bark on it was perfect...

Okay. I see what you're doing.

What?

Coming back here, trying to spy on the competition,

get some intel on my sauce...

No, no.

...in case I make it into the final round.

Trust me, I am not doing that.

I'm going to tell you something, Mister Turner.

I will have you know that my brisket and my sauce are off limits.

- You need to flip those ribs. - See what a distraction you are?

Just so you know, I didn't come back here for any insider information.

I just came back here to tell you that

that is honestly some of the best brisket I've ever had.

- Really? - Really.

And I wanted to see you again.

Great music, by the way.

That takes me back.

Why is he leaving so soon?

Okay, Ma, I know you think of Corey like a son,

but you can't just let him come back here with out at least giving me a heads up.

The first round is in three days. He's the competition now.

Okay, you're right. I'm sorry. I forgot how competitive you are.

Here we go.

I'm just saying, ever since you were a little girl,

you have always had that desire to succeed,

and it only makes me love you more.

Your sample idea is working. We are getting so busy in there!

Really?

Told you!

This was my absolute favorite place in the world when I was your age.

Really?

Yeah, let's do it. Come on. Of course.

Thank you. Good to meet you.

Well, look who it is.

Hi, Corey. This is my daughter, Rosie.

- Hey, Rosie. - Hi.

- I'm Corey. Nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.

Your mom brought you to the best ice cream in Texas.

Yeah. You're the guy from the cookbook, right?

I am.

Mom and Grandma were just talking about you.

Really? They were talking about me? What were they saying?

It was, it was at breakfast, and I was asking Mom about your cookbook.

Anyway...

Want to sit with me and Mom?

Thank you for the invite, Rosie. I would love to do that.

Here, you guys get something.

Ice cream on a beautiful, sunny day. It's no better than that, right?

So, what else do you guys have planned today?

I'm going to work on some of my sketches.

Yeah? What do you sketch?

Well, pretty much anything, but right now I'm working on people.

You any good?

She's definitely the artistic one in the family.

Some day, I'd love for my pictures to hang in a museum.

You know what? If you practice,

I bet that dream will absolutely come true.

You know, we kind of do the same thing.

What do you mean?

Well... Can I use your spoon?

Okay.

Whether you are cooking or painting,

it's all about taking chances.

Being creative.

Because you never know what the winning combination is going to be.

Alright. So, you take a chance, and try new things.

- That's really good. - Alright!

- Here, Mom, you have to try this. - Okay, let's see.

- That's not bad! - Right?

That's not bad at all!

Here, you do one.

I'm going to add chocolate.

Okay, everyone, can I get your attention, please?

Now, today we are going to do things a little bit differently.

We have a very special guest joining us,

so can you please help me welcome Chef Corey Turner!

Hey, guys! Mister Knowles tells me you're having a great week, huh?

Well, I am here to show you how to make some good things

in the kitchen, talk about cooking a little bit.

So, what I need to know is who is ready to make something delicious?

No, no, I can't hear you! Who's ready?

How are you guys doing, huh?

How are these beans coming?

I think I might have forgotten something.

Well, let's give them a taste and see.

How are they?

Rosie! Look, they're sweet enough,

so you got your brown sugar right.

I'm getting a hint of the garlic powder.

They're fantastic. They're better than your mom's.

- Really? - Really.

Look, just don't tell her I told you that.

Alright, good job.

Okay! How are you guys up here?

This was a great idea.

Please remember, try not to hit the pitcher.

I should have gone pro!

Alright.

So, tell me, how you feeling about potentially competing against Tyler?

Well, I guess there's my answer.

Tyler I'm not worried about.

You know, by the way, I thought I was coming back here

for an appearance at the cook off, not to actually compete in it.

You're actually going to take this competition seriously, aren't you?

- One more. - Alright.

I am not getting that.

- Hey, I went by Jo and Ray's. - Yeah?

Man, when I went through those doors, I'm telling you.

- Memories, huh? - Oh, man.

But you know what it did?

It reminded me of why I started cooking in the first place.

Oh, yeah?

It was barbecue, and that restaurant, and that family,

...were the whole reason I wanted to become a chef.

Because now... You know, now I'm just...

...I don't know.

What?

I'm a brand, you know. Writing books,

and making appearances, and I'm managing restaurants.

I miss getting my hands messy, and just being in the excitement all day long.

You know?

I'm grateful, of course. But...

But what?

It just made me stop and think.

Maybe... I don't know.

Come on. I'm up.

Alright. At least I know I won't have to shag any balls,

because you won't hit anything.

You keep pacing like that, you're going to wear a hole in my porch.

Sorry, I'm just trying to figure something out.

I feel like the sauce for the brisket just isn't right.

Tyler, the sauce is good.

It got a whole lot of new customers into the restaurant.

Yeah, but that's the thing. I don't want it to be just good.

I don't want it to be great. I want it to be extraordinary.

And it will be.

The competition's in two days.

Tyler, you've got to trust yourself.

They're not expecting Tyler Dawson, Ma.

They're expecting the daughter of Jo and Ray Dawson,

the five time winners of the Red Rock barbecue contest.

Come on. Come, sit. Listen...

...you have always been so hard on yourself,

but all this over-thinking, when you two were cooking in the kitchen?

Don't eat so much at once. You'll choke?

No. No, you told her that the most important thing

about cooking sometimes is letting things breathe.

Sometimes you just have to let things breathe.

Trust yourself.

Okay, step right up! Two for a dollar! Step right up!

Alright, everyone. We're going to be starting in a few minutes.

I want to remind you that on today's menu we have chicken,

and one side dish.

Now, contestants, please make your way to your stations.

Here we go. Wish me luck.

- You got this, Mom. - Good luck, sweetheart.

- You make us proud, Tyler. - Okay.

- Well, how's it going here? - Good.

Hey, don't forget to wait on the blue smoke.

Okay, thank you.

Alright. I can see when I'm not wanted.

Corey.

Yes.

- I wanted to say thank you. - For what?

For what you said to Rosie. For making her feel so special.

Well, she is special.

Like her mom.

Contestants! Places, please.

Good luck.

Now remember, you have three hours on the clock...

...to make your chicken, and your side dish.

Contestants ready? Set? Smoker!

And it looks like we've got about a half an hour left, contestants.

Half an hour!

One minute left, folks. One minute left.

Five, four, three, two, one!

Hands up! Hands up!

You are so ready for this.

You've been prepping for your whole life, honey.

So, what happens now?

Well, they're almost done with the tasting,

and then they'll rank us.

Well, it looks like the judges have come to their final decision.

Now let's give all of the contestants a big round of applause.

Well done!

I don't know how that tasted, but it smelled fantastic.

Here we are. Thank you very much.

Okay.

Very good. Our first semi-finalist...

...Chef Steve!

Our second semi-finalist... Chef Austin!

Yes!

And our third semi-finalist, is none other than Chef Jackson!

And last but not least...

...our final semi-finalist is...

...Chef Tyler!

Congrats!

Good job, everyone! Congratulations to everyone!

Terrific job! Wonderful!

- Way to go. - Thanks.

- Congrats. Great job. - Thank you.

Corey!

Sofia!

What are you doing here?

I'm here to get you on a plane back to New York.

Rosie, Tyler, George, Jo, this is Sofia,

...my business manager.

Hi.

We have some things we have to deal with,

so excuse us for one second.

You haven't returned any of my phone calls,

so I had to come track you down myself.

The network is calling me constantly.

They want to meet with you tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Sofia, there's no way I can do tomorrow.

Corey, they're chomping at the bit.

I have been working with them for a long time.

I've never seen them this excited.

Corey, Corey, we've got to go do the press conference,

over at the community centre.

- Hi, I'm Jay. - Hi.

Sorry.

Jay, Sofia, Sofia, Jay. She's my manager.

Sorry. Barbecue sauce. It won't happen again.

Alright, we have to get down to this thing.

- Would you like to come with us? - I'm going where you're going.

Okay.

Chef Jackson, what are you planning to do

with the prize money if you win?

Well, I think you mean when I win,

and I'll probably take a much needed Caribbean vacation.

Chef Tyler, didn't your parents win this competition five times?

Yes, yes they did.

And is it true that you and Chef Corey were once high school sweethearts?

That was also a long time ago.

- I still feel like I'm eighteen, though. - And sometimes you act like it.

Okay, okay, okay. Before we finish,

I want to announce the second round menu

for the semi-finals, which happens in four days.

And on the menu will be barbecued ribs,

along with your choice of sides,

and we will be once again at the on-site grills.

And remember, three of you will be eliminated.

Alright, good luck to you all.

I'm going to get you back.

Sofia.

So, what's there to do in this town?

Jay! Jay! Jay!

Jay is the perfect tour guide, and he would love to take you

and show you our charming, little town.

- I would? - Sure, you would.

And Sofia was just saying how much she wanted to see...

...all the sights of Red Rock.

- I did? - Sure, you did.

You seem like a very busy woman.

You guys have fun.

It's over here.

They moved it.

- Yeah. - See?

It's held up pretty good, given how old it is.

I should hope so.

I think it took you two hours to carve that in.

Probably.

- Do you want to sit? - Sure.

What? What is going on up there?

I... Nothing.

Okay, listen. I know that it's been a long time,

but I can still read your lousy poker face.

Okay. I guess I was just wondering how it went with your manager.

Listen, for the record, she is just my manager.

No, she flew down here because we have

a big meeting set with the network

who wants to do a show.

So, she's just making sure I get back there on time.

So, she says she's not leaving without me.

So, I guess that means she's going to stick around

till I finish the cook off.

Good. Then we get to keep you a little while longer.

That was a sweet thing to say.

Well, you know, you don't want to disappoint Jay,

and the citizens of Red Rock.

No, Jay. Don't want to disappoint Jay and Red Rock.

Definitely not.

What about you? Huh?

When do you go back to San Francisco?

I think we're going to stay for a few more weeks until school starts.

They gave you a nice vacation.

- It's not exactly a vacation. - What do you mean?

Okay, the restaurant I was working in closed down about a month ago.

So, you're looking at an unemployed sous chef, with a thing for barbecue.

- Sorry, Tyler. - It's okay.

Well, hey, do you ever just think about opening up your own place?

Yeah, of course.

But I want to do it on my own terms,

and I want to do it in my own time.

Mark my words, though. One day it's going to happen.

I have no doubt.

We're going to squeeze you in. I promise we will.

You might have a little bit of a wait, because you see,

it's been kind of busy.

- Y'all are slammed! - I know!

- This is amazing. - I know!

What, with the sample table outside,

and all the local news coverage, we've got...

People coming back. But, we're a little busy right now,

- ... so we could really use a hand. - Yeah. I got it. I got it.

Hey, hey!

What are you doing here?

Tell me what you need, Chef.

Okay. We need fully loaded baked potatoes,

and biscuits on all these orders.

Yes, ma'am.

Pulled pork is up!

- Perfect. - Chicken's up!

Alright, guys, sorry. Brisket here. Pulled pork here.

Let me get you some napkins. Did you guys need anything else? You're good?

Good.

- Sorry. - Watch it, buddy.

You watch it.

Okay, make it stop. I can't.

I'm so glad you guys closed early tonight.

I mean, I don't think I had anything left in me. Honestly.

Yeah, Mom and Rosie wanted to get to the festival early,

so you can thank them.

I will.

You good?

I think that was the most fun I've had in a kitchen in a long time.

Back in San Francisco, I wasn't really enjoying myself.

- No? - No.

For me, it feels like that was the first time I was in a kitchen in forever.

It's just been all business lately.

Boardrooms, book signings, just... You know.

I miss it. I miss that. That was, that was fun.

It was.

Remember that one?

That brings back memories.

- Why not? - Why not?

Tyler?

Eddie?

I'm sorry. I hope I'm not interrupting?

- No, no, just... Cleaning up. - No!

You're not interrupting. I'm sorry.

- This is Eddie, and this is... - Corey.

- Nice to meet you, Corey. - Nice to meet you, as well.

Hey, I said I would meet Jay and Sofia over at the festival,

- ... so I'm going to take off. - Okay.

- It's good to meet you, Eddie. - You, too.

Alright. See you, guys!

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

I wanted to surprise Rosie... And you.

Well, I'm definitely surprised.

Rosie's going to be so happy to see you, though.

- Where are you staying? - I got a room at a hotel nearby.

- Great. - Yeah.

Rosie and my mom are at the festival,

and I was just about to head over.

- Do you want to go with me? - I'd love to.

I can't believe I haven't even looked at my phone all day.

You're going to need a napkin when you're done.

I am glad Corey made you be my tour guide.

Corey didn't make me do anything.

You know, in Texas, we eat those, not wear them.

These alone could keep me in Red Rock for another week.

And the network got back to me. I bought us a little time.

Great. Great.

Where you been?

I was over helping Tyler and Jo at the restaurant.

Yeah. And I met Tyler's ex-husband.

- Hi, Corey! - Hey, where'd you come from?

- We were just on the ferris wheel. - Fun.

Welcome to Red Rock. I'm Jay.

I'm Eddie. Nice to meet you.

I'm Sofia. I'm usually not this messy.

Mom, look! It's my favorite - Longhorns!

I'm on it. I'm on it. Excuse me.

- Coming? - Ferris wheel.

- Yes. - Shall we?

So, Dad wanted to hang out with me in town

a little bit tomorrow. Do you mind?

Of course not. I want you to spend as much time

with him as possible while he's here.

Cool. And thanks.

I had a really fun time at the festival.

Good. It was really fun, wasn't it?

I even collected some ticket stubs, and a postcard

for my summer camp project.

I'll bet you made enough great memories...

...to make yourself a beautiful sketch.

Absolutely. It's funny.

I never knew how much I was going to like it here.

I was hoping you'd say that.

I mean, San Francisco is great, but I really like spending time with Grandma,

...and helping out in the restaurant.

But most importantly, I really like spending more time with you, Mom.

Me, too. Come on.

And so, you have to make sure that your sauce

compliments the flavor of your meat,

because the sauce that we made here today for the pulled pork,

may not compliment your chicken, or say, your ribs.

Pretty good. But listen, the reality is this...

What's going on?

The Women's Auxiliary requested a private cooking lesson

with the town's favorite chef.

Not the kind of group you say no to.

The spoons, all that's out the window.

If you'll excuse me, festival duty calls.

That's why, for me, it's important that

you don't want to use too much Worcestershire in the sauce,

because that will over pow...

Excuse me, back of the room.

It seems like you disagree with expert opinion.

Sorry, I...

No, I just... You're making pulled pork, right?

I am, indeed.

Okay, well, this is just my opinion,

but I really feel that the Worcestershire and garlic

...are what brings out the boldness of the pork.

Very interesting suggestions.

Why don't you come on up and join the discussion?

No, no, I just... I've got to go.

Ladies, please welcome Red Rock's own, Chef Tyler Dawson!

Come on up. We'll get you looking official,

and you can just take over, and make your own...

- Thanks, thanks. - ... version of this.

- Hi. - Hi!

Alright, let's give this a try, shall we?

Well?

As I suspected, Worcestershire and garlic are key to pulled pork.

But you know what? This is a good start.

- It's a good start. - It's a good start. Okay.

So just so we're all on the same page,

she said that my finished sauce was a good start for her.

Interesting.

So, we'll just take this as a base.

I think we're going to do one and a half tablespoons of Worcestershire,

and then I think we're going to go with the raw garlic.

Ladies, what do you think about a blind taste test with Chef Corey?

Yes!

Let me... Let me be your assistant here.

Help me out.

- Okay. - Yup.

Let's just make sure this is nice and snug.

- Plenty tight, thank you. - Okay, good.

- Can't see a thing. - Don't want you peeking at all.

Sauce number one.

- Nice. Nice. - Pretty good, huh?

Here comes sauce number two.

Okay.

- Which one tasted better? - Two, definitely.

Well, you were right... To choose my sauce!

No clapping! No clapping! I quit!

Yes!

You know, this morning you woke up, and you were not

a potato sack champion. Look at you now!

Ferris wheel. Come on. Let's go do that.

No, no, no. I have so much prep work to do. I should go.

It's five minutes. It'll be fun. Come on.

So, it's good to see you still have all...

...the competitiveness really going.

Yeah, I'm kind of intense.

Especially when it comes to potato sack races.

Or darts.

Okay, maybe a little too intense.

I know, I'm very competitive.

I think it's this whole afraid to fail thing I've been carrying around my whole life.

What are you talking about?

It's in everything.

I have it with running a kitchen, it's this cook off.

Tyler, Tyler, stop.

I guarantee you, you are as talented, or probably more,

than what your parents are.

Are we stuck?

Hey, hey, hey.

- Just, let's just take in the view. - Okay.

It is beautiful up here.

Yeah, everything's beautiful up here.

Really?

- You didn't, Mom. - I did! I did! Look!

Hi! How was your day?

Great. We went to the festival's petting zoo,

and then we went on a hayride.

And are you hungry?

- Always! - Of course.

Okay, come on. Let's get something to eat.

Thank you.

- Can I talk to you for a second? - Yeah, what's going on?

So, I was waiting for that phone call, and we just got confirmation.

We're opening up another restaurant in San Francisco.

And we want you to be head chef.

I can't believe this.

I mean, you may have to cut your summer vacation a little bit short,

...but isn't this what you've always wanted?

It's amazing! I just, I need to think about it.

What's there to think about? I thought you'd be over the moon.

Yeah, a week ago I would have been, but now I...

And I have Rosie's birthday tomorrow,

I have everything I need to prep for the second round.

It's just, it's a little overwhelming.

I just need some time to think.

I think it's good you're thinking it through.

You're obviously taking it seriously, so...

Just let me know soon, okay?

Yeah, of course. Thank you.

Don't thank me. You've earned it. Okay?

Would you just slow down a bit? Why are we walking so fast?

Sorry. Sorry, Mom. I'm just, I'm distracted.

What is wrong?

Eddie offered me the head chef position

at a new restaurant in San Francisco.

Honey! Well, that's wonderful!

It is, it is. But I don't know if I want it.

But, hasn't that always been your dream?

Yes, until this week.

Being back here, cooking barbecue again,

spending quality time with you and Rosie, it just, it feels right.

Maybe I belong here.

Look, there's nothing I would like better

than having you and Rosie back here, but I think you really have

to think this through, and make sure it's what you really want.

And I know one thing for sure, whatever choice you make

it is going to be the right choice for you and Rosie.

Thanks, Mom.

Now, let's go get that birthday cake, huh?

And this time, let's walk like they do in Texas.

Nice and easy.

Okay, go!

Corey!

Hey, happy birthday!

Thank you!

You're welcome.

- Do you have it? - Whoa! No! I love it!

- You'll love it! It's good. - Thank you so much!

You're welcome.

Sweetheart, everyone is raving about your ribs,

and quite right, too. They're delicious.

Thank you. I'm trying out a new sauce for the competition.

So, hopefully the judges like it tomorrow, too.

Well, they'd be fools not to.

- Good to see you, Eddie. - You, too. You, too.

- Let me take that for you. - Thank you.

- Can I fix you a plate? - Yes, please.

Okay. Why don't you take this one?

Thank you.

Get some watermelon.

Happy birthday, pumpkin.

- Hi! - How are you?

Do you want to come play pin the tail on the cow with me?

Why don't you let your dad eat, and I will play with you?

- Okay. - I'll be there in a bit. I promise, okay?

- Thank you. - Okay.

- Hey, Eddie. Corey. - Hey!

- Nice to see you again. - Yeah. You, too.

- You alright? - Doing great.

With a spread like this, how could you not be?

You... you based in San Francisco as well?

Yes, I am. Yeah.

Yeah? How's that? Do you like it?

Things are good. And how about the cook off?

You ready for the final round?

I guess. But, you know, doesn't matter how much prep you do,

something always happens that you don't expect.

I hear you.

By the way, you've got yourself some pretty steep competition here, my friend.

These ribs are delicious.

- She is a great chef. - That she is.

And if my company had of put Tyler in charge of the restaurant to begin with,

it may have survived.

I just hope she accepts our new offer.

New offer?

She didn't tell you?

We offered Tyler the position of head chef...

...back at our new restaurant in San Francisco.

Great!

So, it looks like her summer vacation may be cut a little bit short.

But you know how it is, right? Right?

When opportunity knocks, you've got to run.

Yeah.

Well, if you'll excuse me, it looks like I've got to go pin a tail on a cow.

Now there's something you don't say every day, right?

- Nice to see you. - You, too.

No. Well, this is why adults don't play.

The fun part for me is definitely seeing the prep,

and seeing everybody put their rubs together,

and start to get things ready to go,

and then slap it on the grill.

Look, I think it's going to be a great competition. Good luck.

Hey!

Hey. How'd it go with the reporter?

Fine.

- What was that? - What was what?

What was that little, smiley wave thing you just did?

Is there something going on here?

What? No! I mean, I don't think so.

Okay, maybe.

Like... Look...

He's not my normal type, but I find him interesting.

Alright.

And cute, and enough about my love life.

Just go charm the good people of Red Rock,

...and I will see you after the contest.

Hey!

I just wanted to say thanks for coming to the party.

Yeah. It was fun. Had a chance to talk to Eddie.

- He's a good guy. - Yeah.

And he told me about your job offer in San Francisco.

Congrats! That's, that's huge.

Kind of a no-brainer for you, huh?

When you... when you thinking about heading back?

I don't know. When are you heading back to New York?

Tyler, let me ask you something. I just want you to be honest with me.

Contestants! Please take your places.

No, no, go.

We're about to begin. Remember that you have

four hours to complete your rib dishes,

along with your side dishes. Contestants ready?

Set?

Barbecue!

Let's go! You know it, Tyler!

Thank you, thank you. Watch this.

Cook it, Tyler!

Two hours left! Two hours.

Those ribs are in the smokers, and getting very tender.

We got a lot of slow cooking going on.

And it looks like we're down to the thirty minute mark.

Chefs, we have half an hour.

Thirty seconds!

You've got to be plating now.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

Step away from your dishes!

Go, Mom!

Well, it looks like the judges are in the final stages of their deliberation.

I'd like to take this moment to tell you that...

...the next round is going to be a little bit different.

The two finalists will be cooking a dinner of barbecue brisket off site,

along with sides for ten pre-selected, local tasters,

and they will be making the final decision.

And it looks like we have our decision for the semi-finalist.

And it's unanimous.

And the chef who will be moving onto the final round,

and who will be competing against Chef Corey Turner,

is Chef Tyler Dawson!

- Thanks. - Congratulations.

Thank you!

- I knew this was going to happen. - You did?

- I got my work cut out for me. - Yes, you do.

This is so yummy.

It's always better the next day.

Would you say this is the best birthday cake ever?

Best birthday ever!

I didn't know so many people would come.

And see, you were so worried about making new friends at camp.

You took a risk, and it paid off. Really proud of you.

Do we have to go?

What do you mean?

I mean, do we have to go back to San Francisco?

We'll see.

There you are.

I really miss the old swing that used to hang over there.

Yeah. Remember how you used to make me push you so high?

You were fearless.

Was I?

It's crazy how life changes that in people.

Well, it can if you let it.

What if I lose tomorrow?

Sweetheart. For starters, you are not going to lose.

And it wouldn't matter if you did.

I only care if you're happy.

Thanks. I'm working on it.

Knock knock!

- Hi, George. - What are you doing here?

Just thought I'd check and see if you all wanted to go to the festival dance.

Well, Tyler, why don't you go? I'll look after Rosie for you.

- Are you sure? - Of course!

Okay, well, that sounds fun! Just let me get changed.

- I'll be right back. - Sounds good.

Hey, buddy. I'm meeting Sofia down at the festival.

You coming with?

Sure.

Sure?

Alright, what's wrong?

Nothing. It's ridiculous.

You're thinking about Tyler, aren't you?

Jay, I haven't seen her in fifteen years,

and now I can't get her out of my head.

Well, what did you think was going to happen?

I don't know. I don't know what was going to happen.

I didn't expect her to be here. I didn't even think about it.

I may not be the best person to give relationship advice,

but what I do know is that you two were crazy about each other

all those years ago.

And from what I can tell... Yeah, I think you still are.

Exactly.

And I don't want to go back to New York until I know how she feels.

Alright, then.

You can make fun of my two step.

Thanks, man.

Now, let's show them how it's done, huh?

You can take the girl out of Texas,

but you can't take the Texas out of the girl.

Won't argue with that!

Can you excuse me for just one minute?

- Yeah, yeah, absolutely. - Okay, thanks.

Eleven years of knowing you.

How did I not know you could dance like that?

Well, it's all about your partner.

You look happy, Tyler.

I am.

Which is why I can't accept the position you've offered me.

- I figured as much. - You did?

Yeah. You just seem different.

I thought that job was everything I ever wanted,

but it's just not anymore.

I would really like for Rosie and I

to stay here in Red Rock and give it a try.

She loves it here, and I think it'd be really good for her.

For both of us.

But it's something we both have to agree on, so...

Rosie means the world to me, but if this is what's best for her,

and I'm pretty sure that it might be, then you have my blessing.

Thank you.

So, I'll fly back as much as I can.

That said, I've got to catch a flight.

- I'll see Rosie before I leave. - Sounds good.

Thank you.

And good luck tomorrow at the final. I'm proud of you.

Man, whoever put this festival together...

Yeah, sure nailed it.

Come on, show this city girl how it's done down south.

Don't mind if I do.

So, it's fast, fast, slow, slow.

I know I'm the competition.

But may I have this dance?

Lead the way.

You ready for tomorrow?

Mostly. I still got a lot of prep work to do.

Same.

It's probably going to be a long night,

so I figured a little calm before the storm wouldn't hurt.

Well, I'm glad you came.

- You look beautiful. - Thank you, Mister Turner.

There's something I should tell you.

I'm not going to take that job in San Francisco.

Really?

Rosie and I are going to stay here for a while.

That's really great news.

Is it?

Have your plans changed, too?

There's actually something I want to talk to you about.

Tyler! There's a fire at the restaurant.

- A fire? - Yeah! Come on! Come on!

So, it looks like the source of the fire is the smoker,

and then it spread to part of the kitchen in there.

There's some obvious smoke damage,

and we're going to need to replace some of your electrical.

That smoker's, well, cooked. No pun intended.

At the end of the day,

...you're going to need about a month before you can reopen.

Okay. Thanks, Bill. My mom's inside.

She wants to see you before you go.

Okay.

Thank you, guys.

It could have been a lot worse.

No one got hurt, the restaurant's fine.

You got lucky.

What am I going to do now?

What did the insurance company say?

Well, it looks like they're going to cover us,

so we'll probably be fine.

That's great news.

But honey. The cook off.

Yeah. I don't know how I'm going to cook a meal for ten people

by tomorrow without a smoker.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Maybe I should just throw in the towel.

No. Things have a way of working themselves out.

You'll see.

I know it's late, I was just thinking about you.

I just wanted to make sure everything was okay.

Yeah, I guess. I mean, you know, it will be.

I just have a lot on my mind.

Yeah. Well, is there anything I can do?

If you want to come and use that kitchen over the loft,

you're more than welcome to do that.

I think maybe I turned down Eddie's job offer too soon.

And maybe all of this, the fire, the smoker,

...maybe it's a sign.

A sign of what?

That I'm fooling myself.

That we're fooling ourselves.

I mean, my whole life is in San Francisco,

you're whole life is in New York.

Tyler.

Up until about a week ago, I thought I had a pretty perfect life.

I thought I had everything I had ever dreamed of.

And then I saw you again.

And I met Rosie, and now...

...I can't imagine what my life would look like without you guys in it.

It's not going to work, Corey.

So, I just wanted to apologize about earlier.

I was confused, and upset, and...

Tyler.

- And you deserve better from me. - That's fine.

It's not fine.

And I wanted you to know that even though we're competitors,

I'd like us to work side by side tonight.

I'm glad to hear that.

Good.

So, we have twelve hours to make two meals for ten people.

Are you with me?

- What do you think? - Let's get to work!

You're busted!

You're going down.

We'll see about that.

Yeah. Yeah, we'll see.

Alright, you're out.

- Alright, I got that. I got that. - Thank you.

Look at the time. We're going to be late.

She has been gone all night!

I've been calling, and calling her, but she's not picking up.

Don't worry, they'll be here. Believe you me.

I think I see them!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen! Our finalists have arrived.

There!

Thanks, guys! You only took five years off my life.

Sorry.

- You ready for this? - Yeah.

As ready as I'll ever be.

Alright, well, break a leg, or break a rib,

I don't know. Whatever you guys say.

I love you.

- Thanks, Jay. - Okay.

Well, now you decide whose dish is best,

Corey Turner's, or Tyler Dawson's!

I mixed some of Dad's recipe with my own.

You did?

Thought it might bring me some luck.

Sweetheart, it will.

Sofia, hey.

Hey, all packed and ready to fly out after this?

We need to talk.

Well, nothing good ever comes after a line like that.

I've decided to make Red Rock my home base for a little while.

Like, a while meaning?

Like indefinitely.

Obviously I'm still going to run the businesses,

and get back to New York when I need to,

...but this town's where I want to hang my hat.

So, no TV show then?

You know, this may be your last shot?

I know. But I need to follow my gut on this one.

Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed.

- We put a lot of work into this. - I know.

But honestly, after seeing how different you are around here,

I think I understand.

And you're right. This place certainly does grow on you.

And besides, I'm still your manager, so a few trips

every year back here to check up on you won't kill me.

Sounds good.

- It was great meeting you, Tyler. - You have to leave already?

Yeah, I've got a bunch of meetings tomorrow,

so I've got to catch the last flight out of Dallas,

but I have no doubt we'll be meeting again.

Bye, everyone!

- Call you later. - Okay.

Is everything okay?

And we have a winner!

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to announce

the winner of the 30th Annual Red Rock Barbecue Cook Off...

Tyler Dawson!

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Shall we give this another chance?

I was just thinking the same thing.

And he insisted on calling it Chef Tyler's famous recipe.

Okay, let's do it, huh? Should we do this!

Rosie, come on.

Here, you do it.

Got it?

Nice.

Good job.
