[Music]

okay Becca can you tell us why you want

to be on the little for me you can

nervous that's okay

it happens to everyone it looks like

someone's been studying up oh yeah

rustic planks farm-to-table by chef

Steven Harris he's the best chef in the

whole world the best he has two Michelin

stars Wow

my parents took me to his restaurant for

my birthday this year

Wow must been a pretty special birthday

my dad had the sous-vide chicken but he

couldn't pronounce it we just pointed to

the menu I thought it was the best day

every so do you think she'll be able to

make it to the end oh yeah she's just a

little camera-shy well there are two

cameras out there on that set big ones

she deserves to be here she's a great

chef and and she wrote a five-page hem

written letter about how being on the

show is her dream sometimes you have to

make the hard call Kelly you can't

please everybody but you can try right

okay

[Music]

so that's our group let's make this the

best season yet okay

[Music]

good morning

[Music]

AJ good morning Emily

the little chefs all miked up and ready

to go they are it's gonna be a great

season pants

I might have spoken a little too soon

wait will you just leave the mic where

it is okay hon good morning are we all

excited yeah me too

let's bring chef Betty to set good

problem okay you know what okay oh I

think it's getting better I think it's

getting better

hey what happened well she she she bent

over and didn't quite get back up again

please stop fussing I just need to

stretch it out a baby I think we've

gotta bring into the hospital and get it

checked out I don't need a hospital

Ellie please for my peace of mind all

right but I am Telling You I am okay I

mean it's a slipped disc she'll be okay

with some rest but she needs to stand

four feet four to six weeks well we

don't have four to six hours Kelly we

were supposed to start filming 19

minutes ago Wow I picked a heck of a

season to make my last dude you're

leaving the network has offered me an

executive role I'll be developing a

number of new shows which means it's

time to pass the torch but the little

gourmet is your show for the time being

yes and then next year someone else will

be at them

whoo well the network decides

specifically John Simpson you should

spend this season just showing him just

how valid you I can't believe you're

leaving yeah it's gonna be tough to say

goodbye but losing your house on the

first day of production I think the

universe is where they're telling me

that I made the right decision so what

are we gonna do we're gonna find a

replacement how do we make the little

gourmet without chef Betty I guess we're

gonna find out well team it seems like

we're in a bit of a blind well we're

working on a solution John and I'm glad

to hear it but I think I've got one of

my own

perfect timing this is Jeremy Walsh

Jimmy is somewhat of a rising star here

at the network we brought him in when

our late-night show was facing a ratings

slump and he just well he just turned

that way to reign for us it was a team

effort when I heard about how our

situation I knew that I had found the

perfect man for the job well welcome

aboard

I'm Amanda Steele of course the creator

of the little gourmet and this is Kelly

Mader she's a producer on the show Kelly

has been with us since the beginning

nice to meet you Kelly I'm a very big

fan of what you do and I want you to

know that I'm just here to help navigate

these rough seas Jeremy has already

scouted a replacement Oh busy Patti

Hogan now Patti hosts the cooking

segment of the morning show she is sweet

as pie and she's very popular now I

believe that we can just slide her right

in not even miss a beat

but what about Steven Harris he's a name

incredibly accomplished he has a line of

successful cookbooks all bestsellers and

his restaurant has a line up miles long

[Music]

that was filmed in Stevens restaurant

last week 500,000 views in one day all

the major holiday picked it up in fact

the media has dubbed him hot headed

Harris oh I'm surprised you haven't seen

yet did you say 500,000 views yes but

it's all very negative ratings for the

little gourmet have always been strong

but what we've wanted is a greater

social media engagement you don't really

want to replace your baby with

hot-headed Harris this could be great

publicity for the show really get people

talking besides it's only until our

hostess back nice work Charlie

[Music]

there's ready mana remember a julienne

cut is one-eighth inch no more no less

remember team perfect plate every time

Hey

the children show look it's a great

chance to rehab your image like

mushrooms

you need the earthiness to

counterbalance this weakness of the

onions I don't like onions

hey I'll eat around it look Adam I

couldn't do the show even if I wanted to

I suppose going tour for the book next

month the tour's canceled I'm sorry what

publishers got spooked

the whole world saw you use the food

critic as a garbage can you deserved it

right now your name is mud nobody's

picking up my calls and trust me I'm

making it let me ask you this how's

business really because I had to walk

through a half-empty dining room to get

in here look it's just for a few weeks

okay show the world you're not such a

bad guy then we can talk next steps mmm

got any ketchup okay look at you

all right little chefs before we start

today I have an announcement chef Betty

won't be joining us this season

unfortunately she hurt her back who's

gonna be our host now well actually it's

pretty exciting chef Steven Harris all

right let's get to our cooking stations

everyone

okay let's get Steven to set in fine we

have a please don't say a problem hi

Steven I'm Kelly

I'm one of the producers on the show I

just wanted to thank you so much for

coming in and giving us a hand this

season I'm not wearing it sorry

Kelly they brought you in here to get me

where that monstrosity I'm telling you

it's not gonna happen it's it's part of

the costume I'm a chef not a clown

I'm not saying that you are it's it's

just that the Hat is toque what's that

it's called Duke it's just the two kiss

very popular not with me listen Kelly

this is temporary for me okay it's six

weeks to fix some bad press and I'm not

going to sabotage my career by making a

fool of myself on national television

Stephen I hear you truly just keep an

open mind it won't be as bad as you

think

just try it on thank you how's our

pinch-hitter oh great

just some first-day jitters but I think

I got through to him he's excited good

we do

[Music]

so just be really good okay

Oh careful Seth its cables everywhere

let's see may I get a sound check please

testing one two three

sure that'll do hey chef you're not

wearing the hat and I won't be everyone

laughs I've had well we decided against

it

who's we there yes that's my star are

you doing you good good good you have

another problem you're the wrong pants

we've been using those pans for the last

three seasons hey you've been cooking

the wrong pans for three seasons these

are stainless steel they don't conduct

heat evenly I prefer to cook with copper

does it really make that much of a

difference of course it does you can't

have an elite chef using these

substandard pans you hired me to do a

job I intend to give you my best okay

yep we will look into the pans good you

know I had some other thoughts I'm here

today we're going to be demonstrating

the proper technique for dicing an onion

what's sloppy joe is it any of us even

usable just the parts where he's not on

camera hmm I'm sorry this is this is my

fault I never should have suggested when

faced with a challenge

we can either wilt or we can rise to the

occasion I prefer the latter so he's

gonna need a little extra attention I

want you to run the promo script with

him tomorrow coach him up a little oh

I'm I'm just beginning the introduction

segments tomorrow Jeremy's gonna handle

that

Jeremy mm-hmm John wants Jeremy to

shoulder more of the production so

you're going to produce half the

segments and he'll produce the other

half but I've always done all of them

John wants to see how Jeremy handles the

responsibilities my guess is that

they're eyeing him to be my replacement

[Music]

he's smart clearly motivated what do you

think yeah yeah he seems like a good but

of course that won't depend on if we

even have a show after this is over

[Music]

please two Michelin stars

I guess I just thought that if Amanda

ever left I'd be next in line to run the

show but the Variety crowned the new guy

or apparent Amanda said there was still

time to change their minds

make them see they made a mistake it's

not that simple why not Stephen Harris

is why not I'm the one who suggested him

if this doesn't work I'll be the one who

ruined a successful show I'm I'm

hyperventilating just thinking about it

I think you're looking at this all the

wrong way oh you do you're linked to

this guy right his success is your

success

yeah so make them a success

what are you doing one week from

tomorrow how do I get the feeling that

you have an answer for me

two words speed-dating one word no why

not when was the last time you went on a

date what's today Friday

about four months ago see just you know

how busy I've been

I I don't have any time hence the

speed-dating come on it'll be a good

time I promise

plus Valentine's Day is just around the

corner listen you could keep your arrow

in the crew for the last thing I'm

looking for right now is a relationship

this is pretty basic we are going to be

recording some voiceovers for

commercials so practice it a few

different ways just give yourself a

chance to get familiar with it you have

a pen

you don't need a pen these are written

days ago it's all been approved not by

me

[Music]

nope no you can't just reread it

[Music]

well maybe I'll ask Jeremy Jeremy is not

here how about a trade

what kind of trades I'll read what have

you've written for me mm-hmm and you

give me control over the show's menu

that's not gonna happen

why not between the two of us I'm the

one with two Michelin stars well because

the menus have all been carefully

crafted based on what kids like to eat

[Music]

input we create the menu together 5050

6040 I retained veto power

[Music]

dealers are going off-script no ad-libs

and no last-minute changes well now that

that's sold catch come let's go go go

[Music]

and this is how you create let the in

Greece speak to you

let the lettuce is real chatty come here

every morning before I head to the

restaurant I filled my dishes on the

best locally grown produce farm-to-table

white pearl onions could be good for a

nice buh-bah than you all what stick to

things our contestants can produce okay

do a lot with radicchio grilled roasted

nice slaw no thank you

okay yeah matter of fact I watched a few

episodes from lessees oh really

mm-hm the main use were completely

inadequate inadequate mm-hmm

pedestrian hamburgers macaroni and

cheese those are all dishes that people

who love those are all dishes that

people see on their dinner tables every

night exactly it's relatable kids can

relate to more sophisticated food if you

introduce it to them correctly I mean

honestly what is the point of having a

cooking show if you don't showcase new

and interesting cuisine this is the

point

Tommy waters very first winner of over

the gourmet and one of the sweetest boys

have hurt me he was the underdog going

in but he ended up winning the whole

thing the audience they root for Tommy

water so they don't root for potato

salad you know what I mean it's not

about the food it's it's about the kids

and in order for the show to work you

need to connect it's which shouldn't be

hard since you already have so much I'm

coming really like what well this you're

all chefs

they're really chefs I think they'd

appreciate the radicchio

[Music]

all right chefs you'll have two minutes

in the pantry and then 90 minutes to

create your dish there's in today's

mystery ingredients radicchio that's

supposed to be Karen's home I can show

you what Stephen hadn't known that's not

what we agreed on

I cleared that matter she loved it I

look I love carrots

[Music]

all right chefs you have 30 minutes left

to complete your meals

[Music]

and Becca what are you making today

cheese souffle it's a roasted balsamic

radicchio hmm

that souffles can be very temperamental

[Music]

so you're going to want to fold the egg

whites in not with this with this gently

okay not so gently yeah right

you know what let me just okay keep

cooking everyone you can't just jump in

like that

yeah but her egg whites working a

collapse what you need to give them a

chance to figure it out for themselves

so I'm just supposed to watch them while

they make mistakes it's turn of those

mistakes that they learn grow become

better chefs they can't do that if

you're always taking the wheel also I'm

gonna need you to smile

[Music]

it's just as Harris is doing the thing I

know right

Hera's not doing that thing my hair

doesn't do a thing you look great it's

fine just we're good well you know

there's always the Hat we need to give

the audience a reason to fall in love

with you just genuine smile there it is

better better better fall in love with

me are you falling in love with me okay

ah reset cameras rolling and action

alright kids we have 30 minutes left to

complete sorry it's okay I reset hey

Steven

you can lose a smile thank you yeah

you tried balsamic radicchio no I think

up the chance hey Kelly so I had to go

over your head earlier it's okay it's

just I have a set of standards and not

gonna long nothing personal just

business

of course no hard feelings none

whatsoever

wait what is that oh that that is

Photoshop have a nice night

[Music]

an online listing I lost count how many

times the word

uptight was used well it's just the

first episode there are always gonna be

growing pains people will warm up to him

I can't help them if you won't trust me

[Music]

I'll be right back hey Cody

hi what you working on

he had an idea for a recipe and I wanted

to get it down well though still fresh

in my mind well when you're done what

about joining the great you know on the

first day of school my mom was to pack

my lunch box with a few extra cookies

then I could share them they were really

good cookies it always gave me a little

bit extra confidence so I could talk to

new people

we're you nervous when you try it out a

little for me

you nervous but I wanted to be a chef my

whole life how long has that been ten

years well you took a chance and look

what happened you're here

seems like taking a risk

might have been worth it huh

[Music]

well since you're already being super

brave

why not try giving it a juice

[Music]

yes

[Music]

[Music]

you know most people knock I'm not most

people what can I help you with

so we're supposed to demo three

different dishes today but I was just in

the pantry and we're missing a number of

key ingredients okay I'll get my key to

do a run what do you need I should

probably just how many ingredients are

we missing

[Music]

whizzers you're supposed to be reading

not reading

Scholarship Food Bank TYIN former

contestant update hometown themed

episode they're just ideas that I have

for the show when they come to me I

dropped them down

have you shown a minute amanda is the

creator of the show she likes things a

certain way and my job is to help her

with that vision you know if a sous chef

approached me with a better idea to do

something I'd listen you won't even cook

with the new pan just drop it okay why

would you show them because this is

important to me

okay and if I put this out there and

it's rejected then that's it it's over

and

I'm not ready for that yet

huh you know you gave Cody a pretty good

speech earlier about taking risks you

heard that

[Music]

he's really sharing these in there but

after you get me what's on the list

[Music]

Thank You Kelly he's honestly the most

frustrating person I have ever met he's

really gotten under your skin huh no

matter what I do to rein him in he finds

a way to go rogue now Jeremy's cozied up

to him it's constantly feels like two

against one and I am the one I'm sorry

Kelly

what would you do if you were one hi I'm

you're not gonna like this

but maybe he has a point

Wow you can't be serious you have

Amanda's ear

she might be open to shaking things up

in the middle of a season I know it it's

her last one she might want to go out

with a babe the kids will make an

assortment of chocolates and then we'll

display them in a box like this we'll

also decorate the studio with hearts and

flowers really make it feel like

Valentine's Day perfect all right well

let's keep this train on the tracks we

only have three more episodes to go

before the finale any other business to

tackle before I track down that PA with

my latte I think that's it um actually

yes I I do have an idea

for the next few episodes okay let's

hear it I was thinking that we could do

something special to spotlight the

contestants families okay we already

filmed that getting-to-know-you segments

right but I'm talking about leaving the

studio and filming entire segments on

location that seems like a lot of

unnecessary work you asked me well what

did you have in mind well Cody's dad is

a firefighter what if we did a chili

cook-off in the firehouse and Becca's

mom has a bakery so wait you want to

take an entire film crew with the

equipment into a firehouse to cook chili

it's a fresh new perspective we get to

see the kids in our element connecting

with their families I think it'll be a

really great chance to see them shine I

really like it

I do really yeah let's do it

get me a logistical breakdown by the end

of the day yes absolutely

fantastic

[Music]

thanks again for agreeing let us hope

you happy two boys been on cloud nine

sister she got a good healthy Cody's a

very talented well he gets that from his

mother I'm off comes kitchen this is

Rick he'll tell you all about the

station

Rick MS mater Jeff Harris Kelly Rick

ladder 43 me commissary to commissary

I'm afraid we don't have all the bells

and whistles you're probably used to oh

it's fine it's a part of the Challenger

certainly the right word for it try

cooking dinner for 14 men on that panel

stove you can see I do

well I'm not busy saving the occasional

cat out of a tree I don't love to try

new things you know I'm as adventurous

as the cool let me you know the mostly

potatoes guys but occasionally I'll

sneak some men Oh in fact last week made

hackus ferment here it's a shepherd's

pie but with ground beef who really hits

the spot after a long day alcohol and

that I should feel plenty a huh has she

felt might be a the RS silent miss

French

oh well however you say it it's good

right okay so right over here you see

the pots and pans good for you so much

as you like

[Music]

we're the firefighters there's a judging

panel today so you'll just be on hosting

duty okay

yeah hardly seems fair this one segment

no I mean for the kids doesn't that give

Cody an unfair advantage it'll be a

blind taste test so no one will know who

made what dish Rick wouldn't play

favorites anyway who said wreck was on

the panel

he's not on the panel of course is on

the panel that man is a ray of sunshine

also did you really need to correct his

pronunciation well he was wrong no you

know sometimes being kind is more

important than being right hey Emily a

real set Hey not exactly

Oh what's that I'm only counting four

little chefs up where's Cody

yeah I don't know let me go check the

back room Thanks

follow you

Cody well set to start I change my mind

I don't want to be on the show anymore

you know I would never make you do

something that you didn't want to do uh

I'd really love to know what changed

your mind

did someone say something to you no it's

just my dad sure was all of his friends

and what if I let him down

you know Cody I've cooked for

celebrities foreign dignitaries even

president but most nervous I ever was

it's the first time I cook from My

Father really really yeah it's just

about your age actually and I asked my

mother if I could be in charge at

Thanksgiving there I sure I was ready I

wanted to impress him but when the day

came couldn't stop my hands from shaking

what happened

oh I burnt the turkey oh good I was

mortified ruined Thanksgiving for

everybody you know my father said what

he said it was the best turkey he ever

had but it was burnt yeah it didn't

matter

he knew how hard I work so he poured on

some extra gravy and hey Eve asked for a

second now we should always strive for

perfection County but whether we reach

it or not is irrelevant so many things

we can't control

yeah but you can always try our best you

do that you're a winner

what it's a chef she would go make some

chili let's do it all right

[Music]

so you burnt something once

[Music]

you all perform remarkably well in

difficult conditions but the crew and

ladder 43 has decided on a favorite bowl

of chili the winner of this week's

challenge is chef Cody thanks for

watching will gourmet I'm chef Harrison

I think we'd make a pretty good team

truce truce

[Music]

was thinking we can have the bakery

staff model it could be a nice

opportunity for them to show what makes

this place so special I've actually sent

them home out of the way just well the

firehouse Cayley incorporated

firefighters into the MC yeah you know

we're gonna do things different to be

really good there's gonna see what the

you on your path

hmm editing footage of chili cook-offs

Oh be more than that know you're really

good with those kids obviously care

about him

my mother was a social worker growing up

I didn't really know much about her job

except she worked late and often but she

loved it she passed away a little over

four years ago sorry

a few days after she passed there was a

card in her mailbox it was from a young

woman that my mother had helped years

ago and then the next day there were

three cards and then ten and they just

kept coming and those hearts were my

mother's legacy she helped so many kids

changed so many lives

[Music]

well I think she'd be very proud of what

you've accomplished himself you know

with the show we meet these kids and we

get to showcase their talents for a

season and then it ends and we send them

off into the world seems like I keep in

touch I do but you know I'm always

thinking what if the show could do more

what if I could do more more you know

not just give them a start but help them

across the finish line

I just like to know that I've made an

impression

[Music]

Kelly you're pretty impossible to forget

[Music]

got the caramel I'm looking for that one

it's probably for now if I bite into

this and there is coconut inside

actually that might be extra cup o

flower for your lovely date oh he's not

me for not actually I will take these

here wonderful choices

happy Valentine's Day to you as well

these pistons a way to say thank you

wait two cars well different colors mean

different things see purple is for

atomization

and the yellow the yellow it's for

friendship so our friends now hey just

as surprised as you are

thanks for dinner I mean it seriously

that was the best meal I've ever had

I had a very nice time my previous

Valentine's Day plans included take out

any not a big fan of Valentine's Day I

take it are you kidding it's a holiday

built around love and chocolate wasn't

away I just don't have a lot of time for

relationships I mean it's tough balance

at all

lately it doesn't feel like much of a

balance at all but I like to believe

that love finds you when you're ready

for it

well this is mean

Yuni

hey Kelly I know we didn't exactly have

the smoothest starts but I'm glad I

agreed to do it

[Music]

meet you

[Music]

so I just heard from the network

this here is finale it's gonna be live

my mm-hmm that was my suggestion

actually yeah what we've never done that

live show before well it's a surefire

ratings grabber you've got high stakes

lots of drama people wondering what

could go wrong okay but we don't

actually want something to go wrong no

it's about the anticipation of something

he's right it gives us an opportunity to

end a very unusual season on a high note

I'm gonna scout a couple of locations

tomorrow pack it with an audience make

it a real event oh hey if you need a

second set of eyes or something I can

definitely go with you Kelly you can

hold on floor right actually Amanda I

have an idea for the finale

farm-to-table a celebration of food and

where it comes from

[Music]

yeah

beef wellington huh

we're not a recipe for the faint of

heart

chef Becca this is dog sorry chef Harris

nice to see you

it's my dad's birthday today and I'm

gonna make him dinner beef wellington

this is favorite have you thought of

side dish asparagus hollandaise a bit

too rich oh but you know I saw some baby

carrots that would pair nicely and the

arugula also looked quite good maybe a

salad with a simple vinaigrette can you

find something Becca I'm sure chef

Harris is very busy no no I actually I

would love to really mm-hmm

if it's okay

all right let's go make you a menu come

on

show you we're all good stuff

[Music]

this

yeah

[Music]

go down three-star ingredients always

grab to never nobody may need a mixture

[Music]

now you have to remember to rest the

wellington after Radley okay I picked up

the last bottle of this earlier

now use a sparingly only a drizzle let

me know how it turns out okay

you sure have everything I think so but

I better double-check the recipe

[Music]

[Music]

you add a dash of starlight a dozen

roses to then let it rise for a hundred

years and that's the recipe for making

look dozen each it's already sweet

it doesn't eat enough and because it's

got a lot of heat just out of that zip

kisses I'll make it all properly and

that sorry something lives you made it

right you know it's not like anything

you've made before if you've made it

wrong you know

[Music]

hello why are you sending me pictures of

spaghetti and meatballs at 10 o'clock

because I need it you made it

voluntarily I did and from scratch not

the pasta but baby steps I'm sorry I

thought I was talking to Kelly mate or

maybe I dialed it it's actually really

good I cook meals I was gonna be better

than something you find in a box and

there's there's more in about eight

minutes

I'm going to have chocolate chip cookies

for dessert Wow

color me impressed if you're nice maybe

I'll share what I'm always nice

sure you remember I'm chef charming so

I've heard

well I'm glad your first solo attempt

went well I know your head thank you

ovens run hot I'm not going to burn them

right I really think I'm sorry so uh see

you tomorrow I'll be there

healed up told you they couldn't keep me

down threw on for weeks on the dot oh is

this for me how thoughtful

such a lovely gift

[Music]

hey he's back yeah isn't that great

just in time for the finale a grand

return I couldn't have scripted it

better myself

but what about Stephen it's Betty show

Kelley it always was and he was a very

good replacement but it was never

supposed to be permanent right don't you

think you should at least finish up his

season well I offered him the chance to

stay and he stepped aside didn't want to

step on Betty's toes hey this is a good

thing we got through a tricky situation

successfully it's what we wanted I just

I wish you would have told me sooner

oh he had a thousand things on your

plate so I just thought it was it better

than I doubted it

Amanda I have been producing this show

with everything I've got since day one

let me prove it to you and John that I

am ready I'm so ready to handle the big

things too

[Music]

[Music]

been on the phone all morning to deliver

the wrong order and booked solid tonight

you don't have to explain well looks

like you got your host back nice to see

Betty up on her feet again yeah it is

she'll be great I mean you know she

won't have my attention to detail but

who does Wow

this

Jeremy was just laying out a very

impressive vision for next season Kelly

you're gonna love this

Oh former contestant updates a potential

tie-in with a local food bank and don't

forget the scholarship fund that was my

favorite it could make a real difference

in the children's life you know I just I

just think that there is so much more

that we can be doing with the show and I

have to tell you I am very excited to

take it in a bold new direction what did

I tell you this young man has finally

there's a potential

[Music]

Oh easy there those were my ideas excuse

me the scholarship program the food bank

does remain I don't know what you're

talking about German did you read my

notebook your notebook Kelly I don't

have a slightest clue what you're

referring to

so you just happen to share my exact

vision for the future of the show okay

look I don't know what to tell you if

you had those ideas maybe shoulda shirt

was in her sorry

[Music]

Stephen Amanda hey

I just add dropping off some letters for

Cody and Becca wish him luck for the

finale

gonna miss you around here I have to

admit I had my doubts but Kelly was

right on the money with you

probably happy I'm out of her hair well

was here it doesn't feel right doing all

this without him you know he probably

would have stayed if you asked him to I

invited him to the finale I'm not

talking about the show I'm talking about

telling him how you feel I don't know

answer

[Applause]

this is hands down the best finale this

shows seen and I've been informed that

you're the one to think it's absolutely

right

Kelly's quick thinking kept us out of a

real Jam an invaluable skill when

running the show well we really pulled

it off team Jeremy Walsh just the man I

was looking for Amanda gave this to me

earlier fascinating read although I have

to say it did give me this strangest

sense of deja vu these ideas in Kelley's

notebook are a lot like the ones that

you pitched at our meeting exactly I was

trying to champion our I may have pushed

you just a little too fast Jeremy walk

with me let's talk about where to go

from here great look Kelly

my key found that in Jeremy's office and

it's a very good thing he did because

you're gonna need those notes for next

season

[Music]

I'm your replacement the job is yours if

you want it I do good this job is all

about speaking up taking control and

finding your own voice I'm very happy

for the leaving the show in your hands
