All language subtitles for Seasoned With Love [1080p]

Hi. Welcome to Winnie's.

- Table for one?
- Yes, please.

Right this way.

You're just in time, we're just
about to stop serving lunch.

Now, I can give you a menu,

but I would be a fool
if I didn't tell you

that we only have one bowl
of our special left.

Tempeh stroganoff.

And it is to die for.

Shouldn't it be beef stroganoff?

- No, sir.
- But that's made with...

Fermented soybeans? I know.

- But you just got to trust.
- Mm!

Tempeh is not the enemy.

It's actually quite delicious
if you treat it right.

You cannot be serious.

That's what my friend Danny
used to say.

But I make it
with luscious cream sauce,

oyster mushrooms
and just a touch of saffron.

If it doesn't melt in your mouth

the moment you taste it,
I'll give you your money back.

- Mm!
- So what do you say?

Are you feeling adventurous?

- Go on, then.
- You're not gonna regret it.

All right!

Last bowl of the special
for the gentleman at table 4.

Don't forget the parsley.

How is our new recipe
coming along?

Did you have to put
rhubarb in it?

Well, we can't evolve
if we don't try new things.

Plus, I want the new cookbook
to feel more experimental.

You know, not what you'd expect

when you think
Pittsburgh fine dining.

It still needs to be edible.

You're right.
Ugh, that's terrible.

I guess I'll get it?

Too much paprika or too little?

Winnie's Kitchen and Bistro,
how can we make your day better?

Are you serious?

Winona?

Can you come here?
I can't tell if I'm making this

- better or worse.
- There's a phone call...

But first, the risotto.
Come with me.

- Winona...
- So, I'm thinking...

if we try a little bit of this?
Try it now.

- Oh...
- Really?

I really thought this one
was gonna be a contender.

Oh, I'm sorry,
it's just Sonja Goldberg

from The Hungry Network
on the line.

TheSonja Goldberg?

- I'll tell her you're busy.
- Don't do that.

Wait, did she say anything
about my Insta videos?

Why don't you ask her?

Good point.
I'll just ask her myself.

OK. Oh, keep stirring
the risotto!

Keep stirring the risotto.

Winona Applegate.

Oh... OK.

It's Winona Applegate.

Winona! How are you?

Very well, thank you.

Just working on some recipes for
the new cookbook.

Well, great! Look,

we've been following
your progress for a while now.

Three books, and Winnie's!
It's world famous.

Well, don't tell
the Steelers that. Ha-ha!

The obvious next step
is television.

All right.

Are you familiar with our
segment, The Filet of New York?

Of course,
with Deacon Whitley. I love him.

Well, Deacon's actually chosen
to leave the show.

He's gonna spend
some more time with his family.

We want you to come
to New York to audition.

- Of course.
- Monday at 2 o'clock.

As in this Monday?

When we like something,
we move fast.

All right. Well, then,
I will see you in five days.

- Looking forward to it.
- Me too.

Hello?

How is the tempeh tasting, sir?

It's so much better than
it has any business being.

I told you so.

Hey, is... is that Annie?

- Yes.
- Mm.

- So?
- What?

Winona!

Well...

The Filet of New York
is looking for a new host.

What!?

I knew it.
I KNEW IT!

I still have to do
a camera test.

You're getting your own show!

You're getting your own show!

Oh! The risotto.

You wouldn't believe
how smart they are.

They're just raccoons.

They don't have
opposable thumbs,

but they can pull the lids
clean off my bins

when they're hungry.

Well, just don't think
about confronting them,

- they can be very dangerous.
- You're sweet, Adam,

but I can take care of myself.

All right.

Are you sure
this is enough food?

This isn't my first rodeo, Adam.

But we did run out
of potato salad that one year.

- Ugh...
- I just want to be sure.

Just because you're
festival chair this year

doesn't mean you can
micromanage every detail.

I've got it all under control.

- Hi, Dad.
- Hey, kiddo.

- Millie's here.
- Oh, hey, Millie.

Hello, Katrina.

How was school?

She's got a big exam tomorrow.

She's dedicated,
I'll give her that.

Yes, she is, but she promised
no working this week-end, right?

It's her second-last
Flora Fest before college.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I promise.

Good. We can use
all the help we can get.

Bless you.

- Thank you.
- Ooh! Bless you again.

Hope you're not coming down
with something.

No, I'm sure it's nothing.

You know, Annie used to joke

about us getting
our own cooking show.

She wanted to drive the Starfire
all the way to New York,

stop at every diner
along the way,

and then do a book about it.
Road stop classics with a twist.

You should totally do that.

Weshould do it.

We could shut down
the bistro for a week.

We could take Annie's car,
drive to New York,

make a road trip out of it.
It could be fun.

I wish I could...

But Darren's parents are coming
to visit for a few days

and I promised
I'd be around after work.

You should still go.

What, drive to New York
by myself?

If you signed up for
that dating app I sent you,

it wouldn't have
to be by yourself.

- Just saying!
- I don't have time to date.

- You know that.
- I know, I know.

But what's wrong
with going alone?

You've earned
a little down time.

I can handle things here.

Come on,

Annie left you that car and
I've never seen you drive it.

Well, it's practically
an antique.

And it's time to enjoy it.

Look, I love cooking with you,

but I'm never gonna be
the Annie to your Winona.

You know what?

I'm just gonna fly
on the week-end.

That'll give me plenty of time
to just settle in

and prepare for what
I should be concentrating on.

Not some silly road trip.

Just think about it.

I've got to go, I'm picking up
my in-laws at the station.

One, two, three...

What do you say, Annie?

Come on!

What is happening?

Of course you break down.

It's only got five due services
in the last five years.

I'll be back, I promise.

Ah, Pearl...

"Why don't you drive to New York
all by yourself, Winona?

"Because you do everything
by yourself.

You deserve it. Enjoy!"

Hey! Hey!

Wait! Wait!

Wait! Aah!

Wait for me! Hello!

Hey! Hey!

Stop! Stop!

Hi! Hi!

Hi...

Can you, uh...

Can you open the door?

Thank you. Hi.

My, uh... My car
broke down just up the road.

Uh... Is there a mechanic
anywhere around here?

OK, uh... How about a ride
to the nearest town?

Oh. OK, good.

OK, should I...

Oh! Ha-ha!

Tight hip flexors.

Woo! So, just up there?

OK, good.

Ooh... Ooh!

OK.

Man of few words.
I like that.

Joe!

- Thank you so much.
- Not again, Joe!

I really appreciate it.

Joe!

Joe, we've been over this
a million times.

Not tractors in town.

Joe, I know you can hear me.

Wait,
which way is the auto shop?

- Joe!
- Uh... The auto shop?

OK...

Hi.

Hello.

Can I help you?

No, but you look like
you could use a little help.

- That's gonna leave a stain.
- Oh.

Leave it in some soap
and water overnight.

Hmm.

Thanks.

Can I help you find
what you're looking for?

Uh... You know what,
I think I'm good.

- Thanks.
- Yeah. Just out of interest,

- where are you going?
- The auto shop,

- but I'll find it.
- Great.

- That would be the wrong way.
- Mm-hmm.

- Down there on your right.
- I'd have found it eventually.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

City folk.

Mr. Schuyler.

My Mom was just wondering
how early fest prep starts

- tomorrow morning?
- 8:30 sharp.

But that's when school starts.

Well, you're getting
the day off, Harry.

Yeah but to, like, work.

I mean, we really drew
the short straws this year.

- What do you mean?
- Technically,

catering duty has the most work
with the highest stakes.

- At least we've got Millie.
- Yeah.

I got the
potato sack race last year.

I can't imagine that
required a lot of prep.

No, it literally didn't.

We use the same
sacks every year.

You know, Harry,

you'd be a good influence
on my daughter.

8:30.

I'm surprised
you made it this far.

- Is it really that bad?
- Needs a new cylinder head...

valve, pistons...
and camshaft.

- But that's not the real problem.
- There is more?

The problem is
your timing chains.

I mean, that's what caused
your engine to shut down.

Timing chains?

They probably haven't been
replaced in decades.

Look, normally,
that's not a big issue,

- but if it's well-maintained
- and in this case, ha!

You need a new tensioner,

guides... chain...

along with all the other parts.

Well, how long
is that gonna take?

A couple of days...
A couple of weeks.

Weeks?

Yeah, everybody's
super busy right now

with the Flora Fest coming.

I'm sorry, Flora what?

New Holland's floral festival.

What would that have to do

with my car getting fixed?

Because it's the town's
biggest event of the year.

I mean, everyone in town
volunteers to help put it up

and we invite the entire county.

Our local vendors
really depend on it.

OK... Well,

I need to be
in New York on Monday.

Well, you can get
a ride to the bus stop,

but it's gonna take you
a couple of buses

to get to where you're going.

I can't leave the car.

She's a beauty.

No...

The car belonged to somebody
very important to me.

I promised to take care of it.

- I can't leave it behind.
- OK.

Look, how about we don't make
any big decisions right now?

Let me make a few phone calls,

get a better estimate
by morning?

You look like
you could use some rest.

There's a great inn
just down the street.

That does sound very nice.

- Tell Adam I sent you.
- OK.

Oh, can I...
grab my suitcase?

- Oh, right.
- Yeah.

Hello!

Welcome to the Hague
Bar and Inn, how can I help...

You?

Hi.

You must be Adam.

Adam Schuyler.

Winona Applegate.

You changed your mind
about needing my help?

- Dora sent me.
- Ah!

I guess you found the auto shop.

- I did.
- So...

You need a room?

- I do.
- OK, let's see what we've got.

Is there anywhere
to get decent cell reception?

I'm getting zero bars.

Wow. This place is adorable.

You seem surprised.

Oh, no. It's just...
It's not what I was expecting.

Mm-hmm.

Let me guess.

Dingy, cramped, gaudy wallpaper,

unintentionally kitsch,
with stale air

- and no air conditioning.
- You have air conditioning?

- Oh yeah.
- I guess I shouldn't

make assumptions
about country living.

Ha! Well, as long as
you're pleasantly surprised,

I'm OK with it. You're welcome
to use the phone downstairs;

otherwise we get good reception
at the park down the road,

- by the statue.
- Great.

I'll let you get cleaned up.

Oh... Thank you.

Soap and water!

Got it.

Yes!

Oh! Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll be a little more careful
in the future.

OK...

Sonja Goldberg's office.

Hi. It's Winona Applegate.

I'm supposed to audition
for Sonja on Monday.

Winona!
We're looking forward to it.

Me too. I'm actually on my way
to New York right now

I decided to drive - and
I'm having some car troubles.

So, it looks like
I might be stuck

in this little village
for a while.

You need to reschedule.

Unfortunately, we haven't got
any wiggle room on our end.

Sonja needs to send your tape up
the ladder by Monday end of day

Hello?

Bet you didn't have
to deal with this in your day.

Hi.

Hi...

Uh... Did I catch you
at a bad time?

No, just doing some repairs.
What can I get you?

- Is the kitchen still open?
- Yeah, of course.

Here you go.

We're out of the cheese steak.

- And the burger.
- Oh.

Uh... How about the fish?

Is it locally sourced?

I would be happy to check
with my supplier,

but I think the
grocery store is closed.

Right, uh...

Do you mind
if I have a look around?

What, as in you want
to go in the kitchen?

Well, unless you have
something to hide.

By all means.

Great.

Great.

So... what do you think?

Nice kitchen.
Do you ever use it?

Ha... Thursday is a bit
of a slow night.

Don't you have some event
in a couple of days?

Flora Fest. Yeah, but people
usually just come for the day.

There's no need
to stay overnight.

But you should see this place
on a Tuesday. It is hopping.

- Hopping?
- I know, I usually, um...

reserve that kind of talk

for when my teenage
daughter is around.

Just so she can see
how cool her old man is?

Something like that.

- Um...
- Adam? We need to talk.

- Adam?
- I'll be right back.

I'll be fine.

Dora, I told Harry
8:30am, not pm.

- Millie's sick.
- What? No, no, no,

- I spoke with her this morning.
- No, no, no, she was fine,

and then it got worse.
She's not coming here tomorrow.

She can't do this
without Millie.

Hang on, hang on. Look,

we've got all these ingredients,
I'll figure something out.

You are not making
hamburgers, Adam.

- What's wrong with hamburgers?
- People are expecting

a certain quality.
It's tradition.

OK, you're right. Uh...

Maybe Millie can just
give us her recipes.

No, she can't.
She said that she wasn't using

recipes this year.
She said it's all up here.

How do you cook without a recipe?
- I don't know.

The festival's attendance
is at an all-time low.

If we mess up the food,
nobody's coming back next year.

All right,
that is not gonna happen.

We'll fix it. We just... we just
need to come up with a plan.

- Right?
- Right.

Oh! Maybe Millie can walk us
through it over speakerphone.

What's that smell?

I'll be right back.

Do you do this every time
you stay somewhere or...?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I can't control myself
when I get in a kitchen.

Don't say "sorry",
it smells divine.

Oh, I'd be happy to share.

Really, you wouldn't mind?

- No, not at all.
- That's kind of you, Winona,

but Dora, we really need
to figure this out. Wait...

Did you open a bottle of wine?

Just for the
white wine reduction.

I'll pay for it.

And I'll clean
everything up, I promise.

You know, around here,
we ask before we borrow.

Oh, we do that in the city too.

Are you some kind of chef?

I am a chef.

I own a bistro in Pittsburgh.

Wow. It's perfect.

Well, honestly,
it's pretty simple...

I just had
the most brilliant idea.

- No, absolutely not.
- She can save us!

OK, look, we can't
ask you to do this.

- It's too much.
- There is live music,

potato sack races,
local artisans...

But the biggest component is...

- The food?
- How do you know that?

Festival literally comes
from the word "feast".

Anyway, every year
we put up a food tent

and all the profits get
injected back into New Holland.

But we're in a little bit
of a pickle.

I would really love
to help you both out,

- but I'm not planning on staying.
- See? You're clearly very busy.

- Yes, well, I...
- This festival is the most important event of the year,

we can't just hand over
the reins to an outsider.

- No offence, Winona.
- You need a chef, she's a chef.

Who needs to be
in New York on Monday.

What if I could help
make that happen?

It would mean I would not be
on the food committee,

- but she could be.
- Dora, what are you doing?

If I work on the car
full time... for free,

then the repair job
doesn't have to take weeks.

You would do that?

OK, no, no, no.
Flora Fest is a local event

put on by locals,
that's how it's always been.

Show me a better solution.

I have never met a mechanic
who works for no money.

Everyone in Pittsburgh
upcharges.

You're not in the city anymore.

Oh, my!

I mean, really,
you should try this, Adam.

I'm sure it's great,
but I already ate.

So... what do you say?

The car will be ready
by Sunday evening?

You have my word.

OK.

I guess it's time
you accept my help.

I guess so.

Sonja Goldberg's office.

Oh, you're there.

New York hours.

Listen, I think I figured out
a way to make everything work.

It means that I have to cater
a festival in Pennsylvania,

but whatever gets me
to New York on Monday, right?

Great.

Hello?

Schuyler. I'm surprised
they could pry you away

- from your books this year.
- And I'm surprised

they could pry you away
from the student lounge.

Why does everyone think
I'm a slacker?

I don't get it,
I get good grades.

Winona, this is
my daughter Katrina.

- And this is Harry.
- Hi! Nice to meet you both.

- What's up?
- So,

- when is everyone else coming?
- Everyone else?

No, this is it. Oh,
and here is what we're making.

OK. Well, then,
the four of us have two days

to prepare a feast
for a hundred people.

Have you done
this kind of thing before?

Oh, I've catered events for
800 people with a broken arm.

- Definitely had more staff.
- Well, then...

this should be
a fun challenge for you.

Show me what you've got.

OK, so I've got Millie's menu,

but I understand

she wasn't working
from a recipe, so...

A recipe won't be necessary.
Uh, Henry, is it?

- Harry.
- Harry.

My bad. Can you grab
the potatoes?

Katrina, I need you to get the
onions, mushrooms and carrots.

And you can grab the eggs.

- All right.
- OK!

Um... a teaspoon of paprika.

I think that's a tablespoon.

- No, it's not.
- T-B-S-P.

What do you think
the "B" stands for?

Would you cover for me
for a minute?

Cover? Like...
what do you mean?

Just wait here.

Mmm! These are perfect.

- Are they?
- Honestly,

I couldn't have done them
better myself.

Huh! Well, no one's
ever told me that before.

Uh... Your shirt.

Oh, yeah.

It's a deep fryer,
not a swimming pool, Harry.

Honey, why don't you go
get him one of my shirts?

- Come on.
- Apologies for the mess, guys.

He's a good kid.

Honestly, I think
he's got skills.

I mean, he needs to learn
how to wear an apron,

but here, try these.

OK...

Oh, wow.

That is good.

- Right?
- Mmm! Like,

I am never buying potato chips
again, those are really good.

So, I was thinking,

we could add some really
fun flavours to these,

like paprika, chili-lime...

You wouldn't believe
how good cinnamon-sugar is.

Um, I don't know, that's a
little out there for our crowd.

Oh, come on, where is
your sense of adventure?

Sometimes, simple is best.
A little salt goes a long way.

- Agree to disagree.
- Agree.

Hey! We have enough
people to feed.

They won't miss a couple.
Oh, what's that?

- What?
- Nothing.

Wow, um...

Your dad owns a lot of blue.

Yeah, when he likes
something, he commits.

We haven't done this in ages.

What?

Hung out.

Can I tell you a secret?

Yeah, what is it?

A decision letter from MIT.

Um... But you're a junior.

Yeah, I applied
to college a year early.

OK.

- So open it.
- I can't.

Harry, my entire life has been
leading up to this moment.

So, what are we
standing here for, then?

What if they turn me down?

Aren't there like, I don't know,

a million other schools
you could go to?

No. Harry,
this one is the best.

This is what I want.

Would you open it?

Me? No.

No, uh... It is illegal
to open someone else's mail.

Open it.

Do it... Do it... Do it!

- Keep it down.
- Not until you open it.

- DO IT!
- OK, OK, stop!

I will open it.

I got in.

- No.
- Come on!

Do I need to make
airplane noises?

- Maybe.
- Stop.

OK, that is good.
What is that?

Uh, olive oil, smashed garlic,
salt and pepper,

lemon zest, mustard... Ooh,
and I toasted some cumin seeds

and then ground them up
in your coffee grinder.

- My coffee grinder?
- Oh, it's so aromatic!

If we soak the pork
in this overnight,

it is gonna be bursting with
flavour when we slow cook it.

I still feel like
it's missing something.

OK, so how come you don't
work in some fancy

- Michin-star restaurant?
- Michelin?

That's what I meant,
that's the one.

Uh...

I want my food to be accessible.

You know, I want to cook
for real people.

Real people?

You know what I mean.

Not everyone can afford
a super expensive plate.

And when I watch someone
try something new

and have, like, a surprising,
completely unfiltered reaction,

like no one's watching...
It's amazing.

So what,

you've got little cameras set up
all over your bistro?

Ha-ha! No, I just mean...

I mean, food can change things.

It can turn a bad day
into a good one.

And when my cooking
delights someone,

I feel a connection to them,

even if I've never met them.

I can understand that.

There you two are.
Uh... Grab a spoon.

- I need you to try this.
- All right.

Looks good.

- Mm! It's really garlicky.
- Oh, that's a good thing.

But tell me, what is it missing?

Hmm, what about ketchup?

Ketchup. That's perfect.

I mean, it's sweet
but also savoury,

and the acidity will help
tenderize the meat.

Nice work.

Uh-oh! Am I in trouble?

Try adding
a little bit of flour.

It will stop your hands
from sticking so much.

All right,
a little bit of flour.

- Mm-hmm.
- Like this?

Ooh, OK.

So, there.

Now, press your palm...
Like that.

- Like that?
- Mm-hmm.

- Again?
- There you go.

There.

Look at you.
Jamie Oliver in the making.

Hey, did you manage
to get those dirt stains

- out of your clothes?
- Oh, I was so exhausted

that I just kicked them
in the corner of the bathroom.

Bring them down later,
I'll take care of it.

- Seriously?
- I mean, come on,

you taught me how to knead,
it's the least I can do.

So why don't you tell them?

I can't.

You are so weird.

My dad doesn't know I applied
for college a year early.

What?

I've been trying
to tell him for months now,

but every time I feel like
I'm about to break his heart.

It's always just been
the two of us, you know.

Once I'm gone,
he's gonna be all alone.

OK, well...

when was the last time
your dad actually tried,

you know, dating?

Who's my dad gonna date here?

Winona's just passing through.

Hmm.

But what if she wasn't?

I sourced all the parts
a few towns away,

so I'll finish
a few bibs and bobs,

pick those up on Sunday,

and I'll have the rest
of the day to install them.

So you'll be all done
by Sunday night?

- A promise is a promise.
- Thank you.

So, how is the kitchen going?

Uh... We're on track.

I sense a "but..."

Well, Katrina looks like
she'd rather be solving

quadratic equations.

But her friend, Harry,
he's got really good instincts.

He's picking things up
very quickly.

Harry? Never even
seen him boil an egg.

Oh, do you know him well?

A little.
He's my son.

Oh.

I'm just happy he's taken
a liking to something.

How's Adam doing?

Adam so desperately
wants everything to go well.

I just wish he'd let me
stray from the menu,

- just a little bit.
- You won't find anyone

who will fight harder
for this town.

Flora Fest is a big deal for us

and it's getting harder
to put on every year,

never mind bring in tourists.

I can't imagine how much
the inn is suffering.

Adam... may be a little
weary to take a chance,

but his heart's
in the right place.

Hmm.

Winona, it's Sonja Goldberg.

I had no idea you were catering
some kind of food festival in...

What's that place again?

Please, give me a call back
at your earliest convenience.

You've reached
the office of Sonja Goldberg,

please leave a message
after the tone.

Hi, it's Winona Applegate.

Listen, the reception
isn't very good here,

so if you need to get
in touch with me,

try and call me
at the Hague Bar and Inn

on the reception line.

That's where I'm staying
in New Holland.

Thanks. Bye.

What do you think she wants?

Why would she care
if I have to cater on Sunday?

My audition isn't until
Monday afternoon.

Is that all you have to say?

Everything OK over there?

Oh! Yeah.

Just... talking
to my new friend here.

Your... friend?

Yeah. We've gotten super tight
over the last two days, so...

I bet you have.

Do you have any idea
who this is?

Nope.

Cornelia Schuyler.
Moved here from Holland

to marry the mayor, whose family
had lived on this land

for generations. But
she missed her homeland a lot.

Well, it's not easy
to move somewhere new.

Yeah...

It was especially hard
that first year,

when the tulips were blossoming
in her garden back home.

So, the mayor,

he went to seed merchants
all over the country

and planted a summer garden
just for her,

to help her feel more at home.

That's pretty romantic.

Yeah. It is.

Tulips are a symbol
of friendship in Holland,

and Cornelia wanted
to share her garden

with the surrounding villagers.

Every year, more and more
people came, so...

she decided to throw a party to
celebrate the annual blossoming,

and everyone helped out
in their own ways.

And it got bigger and bigger,
and bigger, until it became...

- Flora Fest.
- Flora Fest.

And I suppose
it isn't a coincidence

that you have the same
last name as her? Schuyler.

So what, this would be
your great-great...

- Great...
- Grandmother?

You caught me.

I know it may seem like a silly
old festival to outsiders...

but this is our history.

New Holland has survived
winter storms, floods, draughts,

all because our people
learned a long time ago

how to come together.

It's really lovely.

Yeah. It is.

Anyway, I've got to run
'cause I'm gonna be late.

Late for what?

OK. OK.

Brace yourself because
I am about to let you in

on a little New Holland secret.

I can't believe
your electrician doubles

as a pizza maker.

He said he only does it
one day a week, though.

- How does that work?
- Well, it's more of a hobby

than anything, but the pie
is out of this world.

So what,
he just runs the bakery?

Yeah, the baker hands over
the keys at three

and the place is his.

I saw stone oven in the back.
It's actually kind of genius.

I know, right?

So?

Mmm! That's really good.

It's like a mix between
Chicago deep dish

- and New York style.
- New Holland style.

Medium thickness,
chunky tomatoes,

extra cheese.

Mm!

So, what's this thing that
you have in New York on Monday?

Well, I'm probably
not supposed to say,

but I am auditioning
for The Hungry Network.

The Hungry...
Wow, that's a big deal.

- Even I have heard of that.
- Yeah.

If I get the job,
I'll be cooking

with millions of Americans.

All of us connected.

I just hope I don't mess it up.

You won't.

You know, I got to tell you,

I wasn't really on board
for bringing you on

- when Dora first suggested it...
- Mm-hmm.

We've always done things
our own way around here

and I don't like
to deviate from something

once it's proven reliable
in the past.

But I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

I'm really glad you're here.

Well, it's nice to work
with keen learners,

in a great kitchen.

Uh...

So, how did you come
to own this place, anyway?

Oh... Um...

My wife inherited it.

We were supposed
to run it together,

but unfortunately,

she passed away
when Katrina was born.

- I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, me too.

It must be really hard,
doing all this on your own.

It is.

And it can feel like
a real money pit, but...

I just can't bring myself
to walk away from it.

Trying to keep her memory alive.

Something like that.

I did not ask
for a wake-up call.

We have a problem.

It can't even be salvaged.

If the raccoons
have been dining on it,

you don't want to, trust me.

I don't understand
how the raccoons got in.

Somehow, the cooler door
was left open.

It was me.

I'm sorry.
I was the last one out.

I was distracted
and I forgot to latch it.

And me. I was with her,

so I'm just as guilty.

It's OK.
Mistakes happen.

But we did just lose
our entire food budget.

I have experienced
every kitchen mishap.

You find a way.

You're right.

When you want something to work,
you make it work.

Dora is not even going
to Flora Fest

because she wants
to help us out.

She wants what's best
for this town

and she's not
the only one out there.

Wait, so...

you just want other people
to not go to Flora Fest?

It's not at all what
I'm saying. We call around.

We ask for donations,
anything people can spare.

- Will people really do that?
- Well, that's the thing

about New Holland:
people are counting on us,

but we can count on them too.

Dad's right.
We can't just give up.

I'm in.

It's worth a shot.

Hi! My name's
Winona Applegate...

We have an issue
with the food supply.

- It's all my fault.
- And I'm helping out

- with catering for Flora Fest...
- Yeah, the raccoons

ate all the food we bought
for Flora Fest.

If I had just made sure
I closed it...

...and now we need yours.

Thank you.

So, what do we think?

It's not enough.

We're talking about
meat and potatoes people here,

- they won't be happy with this.
- OK, well,

we've got some potatoes
and some radishes.

What about Joe?

He's right outside of town,
he's got that whole farm.

Is he a commercial supplier?

Joe? That weird
old farmer guy

that used to chase after me
with a pitchfork?

I'm guessing you deserved it?

Oh yeah, definitely did.

Yeah, I actually bought
a rooster from him once,

and put it in
Principal McIntyre's office.

It's hilarious.

But yeah, no,
he never comes to Flora Fest.

Well, maybe
he's never felt welcome.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

I need a ride.

- Oh, I can drive you.
- No!

Not you.

The pitchfork...
He might still have it.

True.

- You know, I can take you.
- Great.

Winona? There is
a message for you

at reception from
a Sonja Goldberg.

Oh... OK!

I'm so glad I caught you.

Me too. Look,
I'll keep it quick.

How would you feel about us
sending a camera crew down

from our parent network's
news team to do a story

I... would love that.

I'll have my guys set it up.

Well, the news team
gets a light-hearted local story

and The Hungry Network gets to
see what I look like on camera.

No pressure.

But that kind of free press is
exactly what New Holland needs.

- We also need a menu.
- Yes, that would help.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Wow.

- It's delicious.
- So good.

So, as I was saying,
we're in a tight spot.

So, if you have anything that
you'd be willing to contribute

in the name of neighbours
helping neighbours,

we would be so grateful.

Right, Adam?

Yes, um...

And Joe, in case
it's never been clear,

you have always been

and always will be
welcome at Flora Fest.

You OK with double yokes?

You do speak!
I mean, I just assumed...

Um, what... what was that
about double yokes?

Supermarkets won't take them.

They want one yolk per egg.

So, I've got a van back there...

Double yolks are fine with us.

Now, are all of your chickens
on egg line duty?

- Yes.
- Oh.

But I have some venison from
my uncle's last hunting trip.

How much venison?

Just a freezer full.

Ha! That's...
that's amazing.

Let us give you
something in return.

Take a week-end
and come stay at the inn.

We'll give you our best suite,
the full royal treatment.

Breakfast included.

And you will come to
Flora Fest this year, won't you?

Winona!
What do you think of these?

I thought they might go well
with the venison,

- Joe says you're welcome to them.
- Adam, these are gorgeous!

And they will go perfectly
with the venison.

Great idea.

- What?
- Nothing.

Are you making fun of me?

No, never.

If I hadn't convinced us
to come here,

then we wouldn't have
any of this.

Well, we definitely
wouldn't have the mushrooms.

What is that?

I think it's your phone.

Oh!

I have reception!

Pearl!

There you are!

My in-laws, they talk a lot.

I just wanted a bit of
quiet time before I go home.

Wait, that doesn't look
like New York.

Oh, yeah, I'm on a farm.

It's a long story.

Hey, who's that?

He's cute.

Shh! Just...

I will be there Monday morning.

Aren't you cutting it
a little close?

It will be fine.
Make sure you lock up.

Bye.

- Hey.
- Oh, thank you.

Yeah.

You didn't have
to take the blame.

- Hey, I was there too.
- I closed the door.

Look, we're friends,

and friends stick together...

even if they're
a thousand miles apart.

Technically, MIT is less
than 500 miles away.

Shut up.

Wow.

That's good.

Only expresso machine
for 50 miles.

What? You don't
like it anymore?

How much expresso do you have?

- A lot.
- It's the number one thing people buy here.

OK, I got it.

I need everyone to go get
a good night's rest.

We'll start first thing
in the morning.

Um... Given that Flora Fest
starts tomorrow,

is that really
the best use of our time?

It sounds like you're
gearing up to tell everyone

the dog ate your homework.
Or, in that case, raccoons.

Are you sure about this?

Remember, you got cameras
coming tomorrow.

I'm sure.

Look, it's been a very long day

and everyone
has done a great job.

But right now,
the most important thing

is for everyone to get
a good night's rest.

Listen, I know
you don't know me very well,

but you just have to trust me.

I've got a plan.

OK?

OK.

Good.

Winona, I'm really sorry
I let the cooler door open.

Hey, we all make mistakes.

Yeah, but all
that work we did...

Listen, the most important thing

that I've ever learned
in my career...

is that you have to have grit.

You are gonna fall down,

but your ability
to pick yourself back up,

that's what's gonna drive
your success.

You know,

you and my dad are a lot more
alike than I realized.

I knew you were up to something.

You can't stay up

cooking a feast for a hundred
people all by yourself.

I'm not.

- I was just gonna do desert.
- Mm-hmm.

It's the one thing
I can do ahead of time.

I have an idea, but I've
actually never tried it before.

There is no point in me keeping
everybody up while I experiment.

OK. Let's do it.

I just checked on it,
it's almost ready.

Great.

Nice folding job.
Is there anything you can't do?

That's the price
of running your own inn:

you have to learn how to do
everything yourself.

Ha!

I know enough about cooking but
not much about anything else.

So, how did you get into it?

Uh... I had a neighbour
when I was growing up.

She was like family to me.

And she trained in Paris
in the 70's

and taught me everything
she knew about cooking.

She was the one who inspired me
to go to culinary school.

So when I got out,

we decided to open up
Winnie's together.

Winnie's?

It's a combination
of our names: Winona and Annie.

- I like that.
- Yeah.

Yeah, those first
few years were...

They were so hard.

And then, just as everything
was starting to take off...

she passed away.

It was so unexpected.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

After that,

I felt like I had to work
hard enough for both of us.

I understand wanting to keep
your wife's memory alive.

It can get pretty lonely.

You have Katrina.

Yeah, I don't know
what I'd do without her.

She's...

She's all I've got.

Mm-hmm.

But sometimes it feels like...

like something's missing.

Or... someone.

I know what you mean.

I feel like I just work

and work some more,
and then work some more.

And I just...

It feels like I don't have
time for anything else.

Let alone someone else.

It's probably...

I guess it's ready,
so we should probably go.

OK, so what do we call this?

Tiramisu bread pudding.

Tiramisu...
That's Italian, right?

Mm-hmm. Normally made
with lady fingers,

but we are gonna sub stale bread

and cream cheese for mascarpone.

Well, it looks amazing.

All right...

Let's see how we did.

Oh... Ha-ha!

Wow.

Mm! Not bad, right?

So good! So good!

So, what happens when you get
this job in New York?

Ifl get this job in New York,

well, I guess I need
to find a place to live.

What about Winnie's?

Uh, well, right now, my
sous-chef Pearl is running it,

so hopefully
she can take over full time.

We'll have to hire
some more staff

and I guess I'll go there
whenever I can.

Well, it sounds like
you're gonna be very busy.

Yeah.

Here.

Nope!

Hey!

- Just... I'm sorry.
- Really?

- I'm sorry.
- Two can play that game.

- Good morning.
- Morning. Wow!

OK, team, we need to be up
and ready to serve lunch

in T minus 5 hours.

So, for lunch,
we're gonna have a spinach

and mushroom quiche
with an oat crust.

We're gonna serve the remaining
homemade potato chips

and then, we're gonna do
a chopped salad.

Now, chopped salads are a very
good way to reduce food waste,

or in our case,
make the best of what we've got.

You sound just like someone
with her own cooking show.

Well then, let's get
this show on the road.

Harry, why don't you start

on the tomatoes?
You can take over for cucumbers

and Adam, you can start
with the lettuce.

OK, got it.

You know, Dad, it's been
a while since you, uh...

If you ever want to, like,
go on some dates,

I would be OK with that.
I mean,

I would like it
if you would like it.

Thanks, kiddo,
but if you haven't noticed,

the dating scene in New Holland
isn't exactly out of this world.

Well then, maybe
you should look at people

who don't live in New Holland.

Honey, I appreciate
you looking out for me,

but Winona and I,
we're... we're different people.

I live here,
she lives in Pittsburgh.

You've got a real gift, Harry.

I just wish
you could stay longer.

I feel like there's
so much more for me to learn.

Well, there are culinary
schools all over the country.

Not in New Holland.

You know, maybe you could
open up another Winnie's here.

Then we'd get
to see more of you.

I'm sorry, Harry. I can't.

But you know,
if you are ever in Pittsburgh,

my bistro is always
looking for new people.

I couldn't do that.

- Why not?
- My family's here.

My friends.

I love this place.

Guys, this looks great!

I have an idea.
Why don't we start in shifts?

Harry and I
can take first round.

It's not like Winona's
ever been to Flora Fest before,

she should at least enjoy it,
don't you think, Dad?

- What do you say?
- Sure.

Let's go!

- That's good, look at that!
- We nailed it.

Well, you look great.

It's the perfect way
to bring in more tourists

and ensure my dad
is never lonely again.

Look, she just said she can't.
She wouldn't give me a reason.

I'll try talking to her.

Happy Flora Fest, everyone.

I'm Renata Higgins
from NY11 News.

I'm looking
for Winona Applegate.

I will be right back.

♪ I used to wonder

laughed this hard in ages.

Me too. Oh, um...

- You got a little...

- ...something. Can I?
- Sure.

You're not in the city anymore.

Isn't that your electrician?

Yes, it is.

TV crew is here.
They're asking for Winona.

- I got to go.
- Yeah.

OK.

I'm sure she'll be here
any second.

Mm! This is delicious.

Hi. Winona Applegate.
Thank you so much for coming.

Renata Higgins. Big fan.

- Aw!
- So... we'd love to get

some footage of you here,
some B-roll in the kitchen,

and then we'll top it off
with a one-on-one interview.

If all goes well, then
you'll all on the news tonight.

On the news tonight?

Where would you
like me to start?

- Can we get you over here?
- Mm-hmm.

- Sorry.
- All good.

- Let's get you serving people.
- Sure.

Hey, Mom!

Hey, sweetie. Heard
you're killing it over here.

Doing my best.

Dora!

I thought you weren't going
to be able to make it.

That's what I came here for
to tell you: that I picked up

the replacement parts early.
Your Starfire is all ready.

Oh, thank you so much.
You're amazing.

Happy Flora Fest!

How are those
first bites tasting?

- Oh, my!
- What's all this?

Millie! Uh...

- What happened to my menu?
- Um...

I see.

It's not like my cooking
was ever going to compete

with the Winona Applegate.

No, no, there was a problem
and we had to start over.

Hmm.

Well, at least the potato
chips made it to the end, right?

Millie.

Millie!

Millie, I can explain.
We tried to use your menus

and they were great, but
the raccoons got into our supply

and they ate everything,
so we had to start from scratch.

Really, Adam?

I told you about the raccoons
and now you're trying

- to blame this on them?
- He's telling the truth.

You did a beautiful job

with the menus,
Millie, honestly.

I wish we could have
done this your way.

I would really love
if you could come help us.

We could use someone
with your expertise.

Plus, I'd really like
to pick your brain

about Millie's
famous roast chicken.

- OK?
- It's perfect.

Winona, what do you think
of this for garnish?

I love it.

Would now be a good time
for the interview?

I found the perfect spot.

- Uh... You good?
- Got it!

Now would be great.

So, she threw a party
and everyone helped out,

and it grew year by year.

And that is how
Flora Fest was born.

That is quite a story!

But how did you become involved?

A coincidence, really.

My car broke down

and they were already
down a chef and in dire straits.

You see, if the food
doesn't sell,

then they can't afford
to pay for the festival

the following year. And a lot
of these local businesses,

they depend on
the inflow of tourists

- just to survive.
- How do you say "no" to that?

Exactly.
I was happy to help.

And the amazing thing
about a place like New Holland

is that people show up
in ways you wouldn't expect.

I mean, without Joe, we wouldn't
have the venison bourguignon.

And without Dora, I might not
have ever stuck around.

And without Adam...

Well, without Adam,

I don't know if any of this
would have come together.

But you've had an impact too.

Well, I'm known
for my resourcefulness.

You just need to think
outside the box

to make something
like this happen.

But this was really
a community effort.

And it's so great to work
with such amazing people.

I think we're all good.

Oh, you're not gonna stay
for dinner or desert?

Tempting, really,
but we have a long drive back.

- Send us a picture?
- Will do.

- Thank you so much.
- Good.

- Bye.
- Bye. Thank you.

Hi. Can we talk?

Of course.

So, I've noticed
that you and my dad

have been getting really
close the last few days...

- Katrina...
- And it's been

a really long time
since he even thought about...

I'm gonna stop you right there.

You don't have anything
to worry about.

No, no, I'm not worried.
I'm glad he's found someone.

I have not seen him this happy
in a really long time.

Your dad and I are just friends.

Winona, come on.
You guys have a connection.

And I know I'm only 16, but
I am calling it like I see it.

Look, it's really sweet of you
to worry about your dad

like this,
but it would never work.

Why not?

I'm heading
to New York on Monday

to do a camera test
for The Hungry Network.

They're thinking about
giving me my own show.

Oh. Wish I knew that.

I mean, I guess
I can't really blame you

for choosing your career
over your...

You know.

Is there something else
you want to talk about?

I applied for college
a year early and I got in.

Well, that's amazing!
Congratulations!

I haven't even told my dad yet.

And he keeps talking
about all the fun stuff

we're gonna do together for
my senior year before college,

and now we can't do any of it.

He's gonna be so upset.

I don't know,
I guess I just thought

if he wasn't alone,
it would be easier.

Your dad is so lucky

to have you worrying
about him like this.

But he will be OK.

He has so much support
in this town.

- You do need to tell him, though.
- Yeah...

I just... I don't even know
where to start.

When I told my parents that
I was going to culinary school,

they were not very supportive.

But I just don't think

you're gonna have
that problem with your dad.

I think you just need
to tell him

why this is so important to you.

I think you'll be very
surprised by his reaction.

OK. Thank you.

Enjoy.

Joe! You made it.

I can't wait to try
the venison borgy...

burgy.. bur...

Bourguignon.
I really hope you like it.

People love it,
even if no one can pronounce it.

Dad?

- Can I talk to you?
- Uh...

You go ahead.
I've got this.

Uh-oh, did you break
your no studying promise?

Can you just let me finish
before you say anything?

So, there's something
I've been keeping from you.

And I tried to talk to you
about it in the fall,

but then the longer I waited,
the harder it got to tell you...

I applied for college
a year early.

What?

You promised
you'd let me finish.

So, you know I want
to study economics at MIT,

but I never told you why.

They have this amazing
opportunity for undergrads

to work directly with professors
on ongoing economic issues.

I want to understand
the infrastructures we need

to draw more tourists
and residents to New Holland

so that it doesn't completely
disappear off the map.

I'm sorry I waited so long
to tell you. I just...

I don't want you
to be by yourself.

Are you done?

Good, because you haven't
told me the most important part.

Did you get in?

And they're offering
me a scholarship.

Katrina, that's...

amazing!

- You're not mad?
- Are you kidding?

I'm so proud of you.

Thanks, Dad.

And, honey, you don't have
to worry about me, OK?

Why don't you and Harry
take the rest of the day off,

- go have some fun?
- OK, thank you.

So, what are you gonna do
when Katrina goes?

Well, for years, I've had
all these ideas for the inn

just sitting in a drawer.

I keep saying I'll pull them out
when I have time.

What kind of ideas?

Activities
to draw more guests...

Sleigh rides in the winter...

Historical tours of the town...

I could even host
a cooking class.

With your kitchen?
Absolutely.

You think so?

Adam, your place
has so much to offer.

You should do it.

OK, I will.
I'm gonna do it.

Good.

Ah... What a night.

Look at them.

Everyone loves the food.

This is the
best part about being a chef.

You know, we couldn't
have done this without you.

We did this together.

Yeah, we did.

Mm!

Listen, Winona, there's...

there's something
I need to tell you.

I know you've got
this audition tomorrow

and you've already got
a life in Pittsburgh.

And you're probably
moving to New York,

- but these last few days, I...
- Winona, Adam!

The news is about to start.
We're all heading back

- to the inn to watch.
- OK.

What were you gonna say?

Just, uh...

that you'll always be
welcome in New Holland,

if you ever feel
like coming back.

Thanks.

And now for something
different: a struggling village

gets a unique makeover when
a famous chef comes to town.

Renata Higgins has the story.

New Holland is a sleepy
Pennsylvania community.

Some call it a ghost town.

It's one redeeming feature
is its annual Flora Festival,

drawing people
from all over the county.

But this year,
it almost didn't happen,

until one benevolent chef
stepped in to save the day.

They were already down a chef
and in dire straits.

You see, if the food
doesn't sell,

then they can't afford to
be able to pay for the festival

the following year. And a lot
of these local businesses,

they depend on the inflow
of tourists just to survive.

Small communities just can't
do this on their own anymore.

They need someone
with star power.

You may know her for her
unique take on classic recipes.

Viral sensation Winona Applegate

took over the festival
when no one else would.

Exactly.
I was happy to help.

You just have to think
outside the box

to make something
like this happen.

She organized the food effort,

singlehandedly created a menu
that surpassed expectations.

Well, I'm known
for my resourcefulness.

And resourcefulness
is just what this town needed.

This is Renata Higgins
from NY11.

That is not what I said.

It looked like you saying it.

They twisted my words.

Out of context, it looked bad,

but that's not
the whole picture.

I am so, so sorry.

Adam, you have to believe me.

I told them all about
my car breaking down,

and about New Holland...

and about all of you.

I knew this job was
important to you.

I guess I didn't realize
just how important.

I hope it's worth it.

Dear Adam and Katrina,

I want to thank you
for welcoming me

into your community.
New Holland is one of a kind,

not just because of its history
but because of the people

who take care of each other.

Thank you for sharing
it all with me. Winona.

Hey, Dad.
Where is Winona?

She, uh...

She left.

She didn't say goodbye.

It's probably for the best.

A bunch of us watched
the news story last night.

Let's just say the narrative

left a bad taste
in everyone's mouth.

Why?

We came off as
the desperate simpletons

from the one-horse town, and
Winona was our golden saviour.

No.

Turns out she's more
self-serving than we realized.

No, Dad...

I heard her interview and she
didn't say anything like that.

She talked about you and Joe,
and Dora saving Flora Fest.

Did you actually hear her
say those things about us?

Or did the reporter say them?

Well... It was
the reporter, but...

It's called editing, Dad.

I'm such an idiot.

You think?

Go get her!

It's too late.

No, it's never
too late to apologize.

And it's not too late
to tell her how you feel.

It'll never work. You know,
whether she's in New York

or Pittsburgh,
it's 3 hours away.

If you want something to work,
you make it work.

You taught me that.

Go! Why are you standing here?

Hey. People have been
showing up here like mad

since you went on TV.

They're gonna be
grabbing me any minute.

You need a pep talk,
no problem. You got this.

Pearl, I met someone.

Just let me finish.

And he's...

Well, it doesn't really matter.

The news team made it look
like I used that interview

to bolster my reputation.

And now, I'm here...

and all I keep thinking about
is what he must think of me.

Winona, listen to yourself.

You've built an amazing life
doing things your own way.

Winona.

I have to go.

Such a pleasure.

You must be Sonja.

I am.

We saw the footage.
Personable, charming,

and so relatable. It's exactly
what we're looking for.

Great.

- You ready?
- Of course.

Follow me.

And we are ready.

Winona, if you want to just
read off the teleprompter

and give us a little demo.

Winona.

Oh, uh... Sorry.

OK.

With summer in full swing, we...

The... the teleprompter,
there's nothing on it.

Oh, um... Alright.

Let's go again.

But this time, Winona,

don't worry about
the teleprompter.

Just give us your perspective.

- My perspective?
- About food.

Or... whatever you want.

OK.

My friend and very first
cooking teacher, Annie,

used to quote Nichiren,

a 13th century Buddhist monk.

And he said:

"Rice is not simply rice.

It's life itself."

You see, no matter
your location, your language,

your religion,
food is the common necessity.

It not only sustains us,

but it binds us...

together.

You see, food creates rituals,

and through those rituals
come communities.

Food creates memories.

It enables love in the form
of candlelit dinners

and friendships
in the form of...

festivals.

I used to think...

that this was the only place
that I belonged.

But nobody wants to eat dinner
by themselves

over the kitchen sink.

And now, the demonstration.

I think I belong somewhere else.

I do.

Winona!

Hi.

I guess this is
the right building.

What are you doing here?

I came to apologize.

Katrina told me
about the interview,

about what you really said.

I'm so sorry that
I pushed you away.

Wait... The taping,
is it over? How did it go?

Well, I was up there
talking about food...

and all I could think about
were the last few days.

I guess I just realized
that even if I do get

to speak to millions of people,
I'm gonna be doing it

through a black hole,
from a fake kitchen.

But hang on...
The job, it's a big deal.

I want a real connection.

I want to share my life.

So what are you going to do?

Well, Harry gave me
a really good idea yesterday,

and I think there's
something to it.

I'm thinking about
opening up a new Winnie's,

somewhere remote,
off the beaten track.

Somewhere far enough away, where
people need to stay overnight.

You know, you could join
forces with some kind of inn.

Do you know any inns
looking for chefs?

It's funny,
I... just might.

Oh.

But you know,
we could do our own thing,

whether it's here or Pittsburgh.
I'd go anywhere.

Honestly?

I am ready for this change.

Me too.

But first, I need to say
what I wanted to say last night.

I'm listening.

So, are you serious
about joining forces?

Well, I clearly need a chef.

And... you could
use a kitchen.

Why don't we talk about
the details over dinner?

You know, I saw a pizza place
just down the street.

I mean, it won't be
New Holland style, but...

New Holland style! You think
we could franchise that?
