00:32:09,755 --> 00:32:11,446
Yeah, I agree.
697
00:32:12,068 --> 00:32:13,414
You hungry?
698
00:32:13,897 --> 00:32:15,761
- Always.
- Come on.
699
00:32:16,762 --> 00:32:17,936
I love this place.
700
00:32:18,074 --> 00:32:19,834
You have to get the
fully loaded dog.
701
00:32:19,972 --> 00:32:22,561
- There's nothin' better than a
Chicago dog with all the fixings.
702
00:32:22,699 --> 00:32:23,838
Can we get two?
703
00:32:25,874 --> 00:32:26,945
Thank you.
704
00:32:27,083 --> 00:32:28,912
You can keep the change.
705
00:32:30,155 --> 00:32:31,915
Thanks.
706
00:32:35,815 --> 00:32:37,403
Lemme know what you think.
707
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:42,961
Mm!
708
00:32:43,099 --> 00:32:43,927
Good?
709
00:32:44,065 --> 00:32:45,135
So good.
710
00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:48,345
- See. I get why that
critic was so hard on me.
711
00:32:48,483 --> 00:32:50,692
I mean, I'm not the only
Puerto Rican joint in town.
712
00:32:51,141 --> 00:32:54,489
You know, Chicago is one of the best
Puerto Rican food hubs in the country.
713
00:32:55,007 --> 00:32:56,319
That's why I came back.
714
00:32:56,940 --> 00:32:59,632
- Not only that, Chicago's one
of the best cities in the world.
715
00:32:59,770 --> 00:33:01,748
I mean, the food scene here
has always been competitive.
716
00:33:01,772 --> 00:33:04,016
- Well, have you ever
been to San Juan?
717
00:33:04,154 --> 00:33:05,569
I can't say that I have.
718
00:33:05,707 --> 00:33:07,295
- So then, the jury
still has to be out.
719
00:33:07,433 --> 00:33:09,988
[Chuckles] But, I
mean, you're right,
720
00:33:10,471 --> 00:33:12,645
you know, the food
competition here is fierce.
721
00:33:12,783 --> 00:33:14,423
And if I wanna be the
best chef out there,
722
00:33:14,544 --> 00:33:16,822
I have to be judged
accordingly. It's only fair.
723
00:33:17,650 --> 00:33:20,550
- Well, maybe you should've been
judged on the whole picture.
724
00:33:20,964 --> 00:33:23,518
- Yeah, but jibaritos
are what Chicagoans know.
725
00:33:23,656 --> 00:33:25,900
It makes sense to be
just judged on that.
726
00:33:27,384 --> 00:33:29,384
- Well, I think if you keep
cookin' from the heart,
727
00:33:29,455 --> 00:33:31,147
people can't help
but fall in love.
728
00:33:31,492 --> 00:33:33,494
- I guess we'll just
have to wait and see.
729
00:33:33,632 --> 00:33:35,772
[Chuckles] We've got one
more stop after this.
730
00:33:36,393 --> 00:33:38,844
- Thank you very much,
and here's your change.
731
00:33:38,982 --> 00:33:40,639
Have a good one!
732
00:33:41,847 --> 00:33:43,159
Hey, you!
733
00:33:43,297 --> 00:33:45,161
- Hey, Sophia. Uh,
this is Alison.
734
00:33:45,299 --> 00:33:47,335
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Hey, Sophia.
735
00:33:47,473 --> 00:33:49,337
- Oh, you make me
miss the kitchen.
736
00:33:49,475 --> 00:33:51,615
- Well, I guess the
kitchen misses you.
737
00:33:51,753 --> 00:33:54,584
[Chuckles] But the
stand, it looks amazing.
738
00:33:54,722 --> 00:33:56,551
- And we just added
two more farmers.
739
00:33:56,689 --> 00:33:58,622
So, what are you making today?
740
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,394
- I was thinking about opening with a
beautiful pineapple salad for the sofrito.
741
00:34:01,418 --> 00:34:03,696
- Oh, well then, you've
come to the right place.
742
00:34:04,111 --> 00:34:06,527
- You mind if I taste a few?
- Go for it.
743
00:34:07,355 --> 00:34:09,219
Everything smells amazing.
744
00:34:09,357 --> 00:34:11,601
- Thank you.
- What's your favourite?
745
00:34:11,980 --> 00:34:13,844
I would go with the mint.
746
00:34:13,982 --> 00:34:15,329
It looks so good.
747
00:34:15,467 --> 00:34:17,547
- Now what would you recommend
for a pineapple salad?
748
00:34:17,572 --> 00:34:19,195
Why don't you ask your friend?
749
00:34:19,333 --> 00:34:21,266
- [Chuckles]
- My sous chef?
750
00:34:21,404 --> 00:34:24,027
- Well, it's nice to have
another woman in the role.
751
00:34:24,510 --> 00:34:26,064
Watch out for John
when he has a knife.
752
00:34:26,202 --> 00:34:27,375
Noted.
753
00:34:27,513 --> 00:34:28,953
- Well, hopefully
she's not the last,
754
00:34:29,032 --> 00:34:31,138
but all you women leave me
for your own endeavours.
755
00:34:31,276 --> 00:34:32,839
- Well, you're just
too good at your job,
756
00:34:32,863 --> 00:34:34,934
and in return, that
makes us even better.
757
00:34:35,694 --> 00:34:37,316
- I'm not planning
on going anywhere.
758
00:34:37,454 --> 00:34:39,146
Okay. So, which one?
759
00:34:39,284 --> 00:34:42,080
We got the mint,
basil, and the parsley.
760
00:34:42,873 --> 00:34:45,876
- Well, the mint feels too
obvious with pineapple.
761
00:34:46,014 --> 00:34:47,257
I've had that combo before.
762
00:34:47,395 --> 00:34:48,776
Yeah, me too.
763
00:34:49,604 --> 00:34:51,365
Let's try the parsley.
764
00:34:53,194 --> 00:34:54,644
- The parsley is great.
- Mm-hmm.
765
00:34:54,782 --> 00:34:56,473
I don't think that will work.
766
00:34:56,611 --> 00:34:57,785
Okay.
767
00:35:03,549 --> 00:35:06,242
- Now, that basil is
particularly good.
768
00:35:06,621 --> 00:35:09,279
I mean, the notes are just
right, it's not overwhelming.
769
00:35:09,417 --> 00:35:11,592
- Is that a pepper finish?
- Yes, it is!
770
00:35:11,730 --> 00:35:13,594
That's exactly what
I was going for.
771
00:35:13,732 --> 00:35:15,285
I actually grew this one myself.
772
00:35:15,423 --> 00:35:16,423
Well done.
773
00:35:16,459 --> 00:35:18,323
Well, great.
774
00:35:18,461 --> 00:35:20,359
Basil it is, then.
775
00:35:20,497 --> 00:35:23,397
We'll take that one.
Yeah. Thanks, Sophia.
776
00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:29,092
[Light music]
777
00:35:31,508 --> 00:35:33,200
Looks like you're
enjoying yourself.
778
00:35:33,338 --> 00:35:34,625
- Yeah. Everything
here looks so good.
779
00:35:34,649 --> 00:35:36,375
Especially the
herbs are so fresh.
780
00:35:36,513 --> 00:35:38,042
- I know. Let's check
out the parsley, here.
781
00:35:38,066 --> 00:35:39,413
- How does it smell?
- Oh.
782
00:35:39,551 --> 00:35:41,425
- Sorry!
- No, I'm sorry. Yeah, you can go, it's fine.
783
00:35:41,449 --> 00:35:43,002
Oh, that's really nice.
784
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:45,084
- Yeah.
- That'd be so good with some flank steak.
785
00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:47,179
- Yeah, I think I'll ask
Jeff for a few of these.
786
00:35:47,317 --> 00:35:48,629
- Yeah.
- How're the onions?
787
00:35:48,767 --> 00:35:50,469
I think there's some
better ones over there.
788
00:35:50,493 --> 00:35:52,598
- Wanna follow me here?
- Yeah.
789
00:35:54,186 --> 00:35:55,808
[♪♪♪]
790
00:35:55,946 --> 00:35:58,121
[Birds chirping]
791
00:36:06,612 --> 00:36:08,476
All right, moment of truth.
792
00:36:08,614 --> 00:36:09,822
[Cutting board thumps]
793
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,549
[Knife clangs] Show
me whatcha got.
794
00:36:14,827 --> 00:36:16,139
[Sighs]
795
00:36:18,797 --> 00:36:20,730
Oh! Oh!
796
00:36:24,699 --> 00:36:26,367
- What was that last
spot you said you worked?
797
00:36:26,391 --> 00:36:27,702
Um...
798
00:36:29,566 --> 00:36:30,809
This is my first spot.
799
00:36:30,947 --> 00:36:32,017
[Annoyed chuckle]
800
00:36:32,466 --> 00:36:34,346
- You gotta be kidding me.
- I'm a fast learner.
801
00:36:34,468 --> 00:36:35,917
Sweetly Salted was right.
802
00:36:36,055 --> 00:36:38,679
I mean, this place is gonna sink
if we can't master the basics.
803
00:36:39,404 --> 00:36:42,200
How can we master the basics with
a sous chef who can't even dice?
804
00:36:42,338 --> 00:36:44,788
- Look... why don't
you demonstrate?
805
00:36:44,926 --> 00:36:47,046
- You came in here claiming
that you were a sous chef.
806
00:36:47,135 --> 00:36:48,758
I'm not here to teach beginners.
807
00:36:49,414 --> 00:36:50,553
That's fair.
808
00:36:50,691 --> 00:36:52,348
Why don't you hire
one of the sous chefs
809
00:36:52,486 --> 00:36:54,660
that's lined up
outside your door?
810
00:36:56,421 --> 00:36:57,801
All right, look.
811
00:36:57,939 --> 00:37:00,287
First off, your
non-dominant hand,
812
00:37:00,425 --> 00:37:03,393
tuck in your fingers. No one's
bleeding out in my kitchen.
813
00:37:04,394 --> 00:37:05,809
Does that happen a lot?
814
00:37:05,947 --> 00:37:09,399
- Not here, but kitchens
injuries happen all the time.
815
00:37:09,537 --> 00:37:12,195
Which is why I can't
believe I let you in here.
816
00:37:13,265 --> 00:37:14,853
Either can I.
817
00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:17,407
I'm committed to this.
818
00:37:17,925 --> 00:37:20,548
- Your non-dominant hand
controls the size of the slice.
819
00:37:20,686 --> 00:37:23,033
All right, you move
faster for thin slices.
820
00:37:23,171 --> 00:37:25,450
Slower for thick slices.
821
00:37:26,692 --> 00:37:28,660
Now, your knife hand,
822
00:37:28,798 --> 00:37:30,938
you move it continuously
in the same direction.
823
00:37:31,076 --> 00:37:32,422
Okay.
824
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,631
It's all in the wrist.
825
00:37:35,460 --> 00:37:37,393
As long as the blade
is sharp, you're good.
826
00:37:37,531 --> 00:37:38,946
- Wanna try?
- Yeah.
827
00:37:39,084 --> 00:37:40,534
Okay.
828
00:37:42,743 --> 00:37:44,848
- Um...
- You can't show the kitchen fear.
829
00:37:44,986 --> 00:37:47,782
Just... just follow
your instincts. Here.
830
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,646
[Soft music]
831
00:37:50,302 --> 00:37:53,340
Okay, yeah. Now, it's musical.
832
00:37:53,478 --> 00:37:55,169
You gotta find the beat.
833
00:37:55,549 --> 00:37:56,722
All right.
834
00:37:56,860 --> 00:37:58,828
Okay now, keep going,
let's see if you got it.
835
00:38:00,416 --> 00:38:02,107
Now turn it over.
836
00:38:02,245 --> 00:38:04,074
- Yeah.
- There you go.
837
00:38:05,041 --> 00:38:06,284
Is it like...
838
00:38:06,422 --> 00:38:07,975
- Okay, yeah, slow.
- Right.
839
00:38:08,113 --> 00:38:10,357
- Slowly yeah, just so
you can get through that.
840
00:38:10,495 --> 00:38:12,911
Down. Just like that.
841
00:38:13,049 --> 00:38:14,602
Here, like that.
842
00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:16,190
Who's the mal carne?
843
00:38:16,328 --> 00:38:17,433
Oof.
844
00:38:17,571 --> 00:38:19,089
Who you calling mal carne?
845
00:38:19,227 --> 00:38:21,022
Every newbie gets that title.
846
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,645
It's just kitchen speak.
847
00:38:22,783 --> 00:38:24,761
- May I remind you that we're
all indeed still gentlemen?
848
00:38:24,785 --> 00:38:27,339
- And ladies.
- And... and ladies.
849
00:38:27,477 --> 00:38:29,341
- Personally, only
reason I work for you
850
00:38:29,479 --> 00:38:31,032
is 'cause I just
love to be myself.
851
00:38:31,170 --> 00:38:32,689
- Okay.
- Charming.
852
00:38:32,827 --> 00:38:35,012
- All right, let's change it
up for a few moments, shall we?
853
00:38:35,036 --> 00:38:36,693
- Yes, chef. What's
the plan for tonight?
854
00:38:36,831 --> 00:38:39,282
- The plan is sofrito. We got
a lot of tomatoes to be diced.
855
00:38:39,420 --> 00:38:40,973
Gimme the knife.
856
00:38:42,423 --> 00:38:43,459
You have to go now.
857
00:38:43,597 --> 00:38:45,012
What do you mean?
858
00:38:45,357 --> 00:38:46,876
Chef's still hard as nails.
859
00:38:47,014 --> 00:38:48,395
[Chuckles]
860
00:38:48,533 --> 00:38:49,820
- I'm sorry, is
this your kitchen?
861
00:38:49,844 --> 00:38:52,226
- Experience beats
wit, and I promise you,
862
00:38:52,364 --> 00:38:53,710
we've got both.
863
00:38:53,848 --> 00:38:55,757
- Look, there's a place for
everyone in the kitchen,
864
00:38:55,781 --> 00:38:57,093
but not if you're not ready.
865
00:38:57,231 --> 00:38:59,578
- Well, I came here to
learn, so let me show you.
866
00:38:59,716 --> 00:39:01,477
You're not ready. Okay?
867
00:39:01,615 --> 00:39:03,178
You're just gonna be
daytime help for now.
868
00:39:03,202 --> 00:39:05,032

00:47:51,696 --> 00:47:55,907
- I know. It's just between
the kitchen and the book,
1042
00:47:56,045 --> 00:47:57,909
I have no idea what day it is.
1043

Are you still gonna
be able to make it?
1045
00:48:02,224 --> 00:48:04,536
It's not as much fun without
having someone cheer you on.
1046
00:48:04,674 --> 00:48:07,677
I want to. I'm just...
1047
00:48:07,815 --> 00:48:09,438
totally beat.
1048
00:48:09,576 --> 00:48:12,855
- Okay. Uh, when
are you free next?
1049
00:48:13,338 --> 00:48:15,616
Friday... morning... early.
1050
00:48:15,996 --> 00:48:18,205
- I can do that!
- Okay.
1051
00:48:18,343 --> 00:48:19,862
That's how you do it, slugger!
1052
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,312
[Cheers]
1053
00:48:21,450 --> 00:48:22,623
- [Laughs]
- Yeah, buddy!
1054
00:48:22,761 --> 00:48:24,039
Now I feel extra bad.
1055
00:48:24,177 --> 00:48:25,592
I messed up.
1056
00:48:26,075 --> 00:48:27,974
At least you're
making new friends.
1057
00:48:28,112 --> 00:48:29,803
- You gotta give props
when props are due.
1058
00:48:29,941 --> 00:48:32,219
And I forgive you,
1059
00:48:32,357 --> 00:48:34,256
since you admit that
you're wrong. [Laughs]
1060
00:48:34,394 --> 00:48:35,947
- I'll bring the
snacks to the field.
1061
00:48:36,085 --> 00:48:37,949
- It's the least
that you could do.
1062
00:48:38,087 --> 00:48:40,538
- Hey, what's the
office hot gossip?
1063
00:48:41,194 --> 00:48:43,575
- Honestly, that it
sucks without you.
1064
00:48:43,713 --> 00:48:45,336
- There's gotta
be more than that.
1065
00:48:45,474 --> 00:48:49,029
- Hmm... nobody brings
good snacks anymore.
1066
00:48:49,167 --> 00:48:52,895

when you're stopping by.

him, "I'm so alone."

Oh, Bob!
1069
00:49:00,592 --> 00:49:02,732
All right, well, I'll
see you on Friday.
1070
00:49:02,870 --> 00:49:04,113
Bright and early.
1071
00:49:04,251 --> 00:49:06,081
Looking forward to it!
1072
00:49:06,219 --> 00:49:07,979
Keep hittin' those
home runs, baby.
1073
00:49:08,566 --> 00:49:11,258
- It's a lot of fouls
right now, but...
1074
00:49:11,396 --> 00:49:13,605
hopefully I can
help get us there.
1075
00:49:13,743 --> 00:49:15,090
Us?
1076
00:49:15,228 --> 00:49:16,781
The restaurant.
1077
00:49:16,919 --> 00:49:19,025
It's the least I can do.
1078
00:49:19,163 --> 00:49:20,681
I mean, after what I did.
1079
00:49:20,819 --> 00:49:23,443
- As long as you are keeping
track of your own runs.
1080
00:49:23,581 --> 00:49:26,756
- [Chuckles]
- Please. I'm always keeping score.
1081
00:49:26,894 --> 00:49:29,276
Me too. I'll see you Friday.
1082
00:49:29,414 --> 00:49:30,933
Or I'm calling foul.
1083
00:49:31,071 --> 00:49:32,486
- I wouldn't miss
it for the world.
1084
00:49:32,624 --> 00:49:34,247
Okay, bye.

Ma used to say?
1089
00:50:01,308 --> 00:50:03,483
- "Definition of love
is cookin' with it."
1090
00:50:03,793 --> 00:50:05,554
- You think our
customers know that?
1091
00:50:05,692 --> 00:50:06,865
Know what?
1092
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:09,075
- That we love 'em.
Every time we serve 'em.
1093
00:50:09,213 --> 00:50:11,008
- Ah, maybe not
yet, but they will.
1094

Just wanna make her proud.

You have.

How do you know?
1097
00:50:16,151 --> 00:50:17,393
You brought us this far.
1098
00:50:17,531 --> 00:50:18,531
Okay.
1099
00:50:18,601 --> 00:50:19,637
Hey!
1100
00:50:20,879 --> 00:50:22,985
I didn't see these on
the inventory list.
1101
00:50:23,123 --> 00:50:24,400
Blame the supply chain crisis.
1102
00:50:24,538 --> 00:50:26,161
- We ordered these
for the opening
1103
00:50:26,299 --> 00:50:27,817
but they never came in time.
1104
00:50:28,542 --> 00:50:31,166
- So, plantain buns were
the plan the whole time?
1105
00:50:31,580 --> 00:50:34,031
- Of course! I mean, that's
how a jibarito is served.
1106
00:50:34,169 --> 00:50:35,860
Yeah. Learned the hard way.
1107
00:50:35,998 --> 00:50:38,459
Never depend on essential ingredients
to show up when you need 'em.
1108
00:50:38,483 --> 00:50:41,072
- That's chef's life. Always
be prepared to improvise.
1109
00:50:41,210 --> 00:50:44,179
- How're we gonna improvise
our way outta 200 plantains?
1110
00:50:44,662 --> 00:50:46,733
- Well, people will
still want jibaritos.
1111
00:50:47,423 --> 00:50:50,530
Let's cook some up, test it out, see if
it's ready to be put back on the menu.
1112
00:50:50,668 --> 00:50:52,290
- I'm never gonna turn
down your cooking.
1113

- Do you want some
help with prep?
1114

time alone with my kitchen.

- I just feel like I failed him twice.
- What do you mean?
1118
00:51:12,241 --> 00:51:14,737
- I should've been able to find
plantains somewhere in the city,
1119
00:51:14,761 --> 00:51:16,211
or at least gotten
them here quicker.
1120
00:51:16,349 --> 00:51:17,989
- I think he knows how
hard you're trying.
1121
00:51:18,109 --> 00:51:20,589
- There really is no trying in
restaurant work. It's do or die.
1122
00:51:20,698 --> 00:51:22,700
- That's a little
extreme, don't you think?
1123
00:51:22,838 --> 00:51:24,391
No, it's reality.
1124
00:51:24,529 --> 00:51:26,980
But the good news is, restaurant
people never hold grudges.

- Not even against their
worst enemies? [Door thumps]
1126
00:51:29,741 --> 00:51:32,468
- Now, if these jibaritos taste
anything like our mother's recipe,
1127
00:51:32,606 --> 00:51:34,160
they're gonna put
us back on the map!

I feel like there's
something missing.
1135

See, I knew it.
1136

don't know why our mom
1137

- never wrote down the recipe.
- I remember.

Yeah. That's it!
1140
00:52:00,565 --> 00:52:02,084
Our mom did used
to add cinnamon.
1141
00:52:02,222 --> 00:52:03,982
What do you mean
by, "you remember"?
1142

a long time ago,
1144
00:52:08,677 --> 00:52:10,644
and I think that's what
was in them. Cinnamon.
1145

the only ones who did that.

that anywhere else.

Cool. And cilantro.

00:52:20,930 --> 00:52:23,174
- To cut through the cinnamon.
- Yeah, yeah.
1151
00:52:23,968 --> 00:52:26,108
- Yeah? How about
two-for-one margaritas

if they order the jibaritos?
1153
00:52:27,627 --> 00:52:31,113
- Love that. And what
about a brunch special
1154
00:52:31,251 --> 00:52:34,289
with mimosas or
mojitos on Sundays?
1155

I love that too. That...

00:55:02,954 --> 00:55:06,475
- Well, you're a news writer.
I figured you could handle it.
1211

I can! I... I will.
1212
00:55:08,857 --> 00:55:11,515
- Good. Um, there's
also one more thing.
1213
00:55:11,653 --> 00:55:13,693
I know part of the pitch
was to keep you undercover,
1214
00:55:13,827 --> 00:55:16,071
but legal says that we
need clearance from Seb.
1215
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:17,762
Oh.
1216
00:55:17,900 --> 00:55:19,700
- He just needs to sign
a little release form.
1217
00:55:19,764 --> 00:55:22,042
I'll send it over
to you. And then...

You haven't really texted much.

It's kinda hard to believe you're
still gonna be part of the team,

You're the one that told
me to swing for the fences.

fences is time consuming

I dropped all of

about grill night and he did
not pick up on a single one.

01:23:08,742 --> 01:23:11,055
Here's to Sweetly Salted
1722
01:23:11,193 --> 01:23:14,161
and her genuine food
poetry of a column.
1723
01:23:14,299 --> 01:23:16,439
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
1724
01:23:21,997 --> 01:23:24,068
Thank you. This is so nice.
1725
01:23:24,206 --> 01:23:25,207
Dinner on me?
1726
01:23:25,345 --> 01:23:27,312
Where're we goin'?
1727
01:23:27,450 --> 01:23:29,832
- Hmm... to Isla
Dulce, of course!
1728
01:23:30,764 --> 01:23:32,317
At 8:00... tonight?
1729
01:23:32,455 --> 01:23:33,732
If it's okay with Ali.
1730
01:23:33,870 --> 01:23:35,493
Yeah, of course.
1731
01:23:35,631 --> 01:23:37,874
- Time to round
out the bases, kid!
1732
01:23:38,013 --> 01:23:39,359
This is your home run day.
1733
01:23:44,295 --> 01:23:46,814
[Upbeat Latin music]
1734
01:23:52,027 --> 01:23:54,753
It feels amazing in here.
1735
01:23:54,891 --> 01:23:57,860
- Hey! We didn't know if
we'd ever see you again.
1736
01:23:57,998 --> 01:24:00,035
I... owe you an apology.
1737
01:24:00,173 --> 01:24:03,383
- My brother's not the easiest,
and honestly, neither am I.
1738
01:24:03,521 --> 01:24:06,524
But your column was just so...
I mean, look at this place!
1739
01:24:06,662 --> 01:24:08,836
I mean, I didn't even
know how to... come here.
1740
01:24:10,493 --> 01:24:12,161
Honestly, it's really
good to see you, Ali.
1741
01:24:12,185 --> 01:24:13,945
Or should I call
you Miss Sweetly?
1742
01:24:14,083 --> 01:24:16,223
- Forever and
always, call me Ali.
1743
01:24:16,361 --> 01:24:17,535
What a night!
1744
01:24:17,673 --> 01:24:19,364
- Oh yeah, that's
every night lately.
1745
01:24:19,502 --> 01:24:21,849
Um, do you... guys
have a reservation?
1746
01:24:21,987 --> 01:24:23,127
Afraid not.
1747
01:24:23,265 --> 01:24:24,783
Uh, definitely our mistake.
1748
01:24:25,508 --> 01:24:27,555
- Don't worry about it. I
think I got a place for ya.
1749
01:24:27,579 --> 01:24:30,386
- I will sit anywhere if it means I get
to taste another Plantains Foster Fire.
1750
01:24:30,410 --> 01:24:31,721
- [Giggles]
- Come on! -
1751
01:24:31,859 --> 01:24:34,241
Did you know that ice
cream could get set ablaze?
1752
01:24:34,379 --> 01:24:36,278
I did actually.
1753
01:24:37,451 --> 01:24:39,626
- Honestly, still
news to me. Hmm.
1754
01:24:39,764 --> 01:24:41,593
[Indistinct chatter]
1755
01:24:43,561 --> 01:24:45,252
[Indistinct chatter]
1756
01:24:45,390 --> 01:24:46,736
I'll get it.
1757
01:24:46,874 --> 01:24:49,118
We are very excited
to have you here.
1758
01:24:49,256 --> 01:24:51,603
- Is Seb here tonight?
- Uh, not yet.
1759
01:24:51,741 --> 01:24:53,778
We're all working longer days.
1760
01:24:53,916 --> 01:24:55,297
But uh...
1761
01:24:55,435 --> 01:24:57,057
he might be by a
little bit later.
1762
01:24:58,369 --> 01:24:59,784
[Chuckles]
1763
01:25:01,130 --> 01:25:02,338
Good evening, ladies.
1764
01:25:02,476 --> 01:25:04,271
Cocktails on the
house from Luis.
1765
01:25:05,376 --> 01:25:06,618
- Delicious!
- Ooh!
1766
01:25:06,756 --> 01:25:08,241
- Would you like to
hear the specials
1767
01:25:08,379 --> 01:25:09,699
or does our
reputation precede us?
1768
01:25:09,828 --> 01:25:11,899
- Oh, you're looking
at the inventor
1769
01:25:12,037 --> 01:25:13,453
of the Plantain Foster Fire,
1770
01:25:13,591 --> 01:25:15,075
so I think she knows
what she wants.
1771
01:25:15,213 --> 01:25:17,042
Well, that was a team effort.
1772
01:25:17,181 --> 01:25:19,424
But we will start
with the jibaritos.
1773
01:25:19,562 --> 01:25:21,771
- Mm! My mouth has
been watering all day.
1774
01:25:21,909 --> 01:25:23,704
I'll be right back.
1775
01:25:24,257 --> 01:25:28,088
- You gotta tell us, what
makes the jibarito so special?
1776
01:25:28,675 --> 01:25:32,092
- Well, if I told you that,
I would have to kill you.
1777
01:25:32,230 --> 01:25:34,094
[Laughs]
1778
01:25:34,232 --> 01:25:35,958
Compliments of the chef.
1779
01:25:36,096 --> 01:25:38,098
Oh! What's this?
1780
01:25:38,926 --> 01:25:40,790
So romantic!
1781
01:25:43,966 --> 01:25:47,314
Oh, my, Ali, if you don't hurry up
and open up the envelope, I will!
1782
01:25:53,458 --> 01:25:55,357
Is that the jibarito tip?
1783
01:25:55,495 --> 01:25:57,531
The original.
1784
01:26:03,537 --> 01:26:05,332
Welcome to Isla Dulce.
1785
01:26:05,850 --> 01:26:08,090
It's a pleasure to have such
lovely company this evening.
1786
01:26:08,128 --> 01:26:10,768
- No, the pleasure's ours.
- Oh, we can't wait for this experience.
1787
01:26:10,889 --> 01:26:12,926
- I knew you'd want
the Foster Fire,
1788
01:26:13,064 --> 01:26:16,343
but I'd never be so presumptuous as
to cook one for the master, so...
1789
01:26:16,481 --> 01:26:18,794
would you like to do the honors?
1790
01:26:18,932 --> 01:26:20,554
I'd love to.
1791
01:26:25,766 --> 01:26:27,147
[Chuckling]
1792
01:26:30,012 --> 01:26:31,462
Let's see it.
1793
01:26:36,329 --> 01:26:37,399
There's no salt.
1794
01:26:37,537 --> 01:26:39,021
I got your back.
1795
01:26:54,243 --> 01:26:55,348
Oh!
1796
01:26:55,486 --> 01:26:57,004
[Laugh]
1797
01:27:02,182 --> 01:27:03,735
Seb, um...
1798
01:27:04,702 --> 01:27:07,705
I'm sorry. About everything.
1799
01:27:08,878 --> 01:27:10,466
I'm not too salty about it.
1800
01:27:10,604 --> 01:27:13,262
- I think a part of me
always knew it was you.
1801
01:27:13,745 --> 01:27:16,886
Me too. Welcome home, Ali.
1802
01:27:19,993 --> 01:27:20,993
Another envelope.
1803
01:27:21,063 --> 01:27:22,513
That's your contract.
1804
01:27:22,651 --> 01:27:25,240
Now you can't come back home
until you finish your book.
1805
01:27:25,688 --> 01:27:28,104
Kitchen is for the biggest
dreamers out there.
1806
01:27:28,519 --> 01:27:29,623
Thank you.
1807
01:27:29,761 --> 01:27:31,729
- You helped make
my dreams a reality.
1808
01:27:31,867 --> 01:27:33,972
The least I could do is
help you do the same.
1809
01:27:41,911 --> 01:27:43,396

1810

1811
01:27:45,950 --> 01:27:49,160
That was... sweet.
