Tour of the new wing of the children’s hospital and a 700 p.m. dinner with the association of female business owners can we push dinner back I’ve been emailing with the director of the hospital and I want to stick around after the tour to discuss additional fundraising strategies okay okay unless

My charming nephew would attend for me heaven knows he could use an evening out with some strong intelligent women what you could at least act interested you know it’s one of the many skills you’ll find handy when you’re in my shoes I’m interested I promise maybe

You’ll find the next topic a little more captivating the annual fundraiser for the St Andrews Children’s Hospital is coming up we attend a fundraiser every other weekend Marta yes but we’re hosting this one and it’s a cooking competition the theme is Farm to Fork I

Like it it’s cute it was Marta’s idea we still haven’t settled on the judges yet maybe our resident Gourmand could make a suggestion we could get Duncan Reigns that British bully absolutely not this is a charity event it’s not one of his reality shows all the best chefs have

The most difficult personalities why have we under season a dish at lacademy Chef balm Garden would feed it to his Mastiff and make us watch this one time Alice took some yes Alice Meyers well in any case Marta I will be selecting our judges okay your conference call is in 20 minutes okay

I’m going to confirm everyone for you thank you Marta Christian what’s wrong you’ve been distracted lately sorry I I didn’t mean to be I know the process ECT of taking over the family business can be quite overwhelming I felt the same way when I took over for my

Husband but now short 20 years later I can’t think of any path more fulfilling thanks Aunt danela how would you like to be one of our judges I’m not qualified of course you are you may not work in the kitchen but you are a chef you’ve got the diploma to approve

It that’s very kind but you want judges with big personalities for the fundraiser that’s why people watch those shows is that why they watch them I never knew why well offer still stands think about it will you I Will What’s gotten into you Chef I just came from a meeting guess who’s catering this year’s Gotham Gayla the Gotham Gaya as in the biggest party in New York City that’s the one red carpet celebrities and now the bowy this came for you Alice isn’t the gayin a week their first

Work with him at this Gayla and it’s a big deal for him but Brett’s too busy thinking about Brett to think about what’s best for you how long did it take him to let you try out that special then he turns around and pulls it off the

Menu after one tiny accident well in his defense I did send a food critic to the hospital she’s fine that’s not the point he’s the head chef he should have seen the parsy before the dish even went out he dropped the ball not you maybe it’s okay to have your own

The farm in case they have questions about the rules is that really necessary oh come on it’ll be fun Splendid you can ride on the bus with the chefs if you want the bus Alice you want to ride with me H it depends what are you driving

These days let me guess something fast shiny and foreign I miss the fresh air it’s not exactly New York Hey Chef let’s get a Photo I love markets everything’s just so fresh oh I know oh my gosh I just smelt something so wonderful I’m going to go follow my nose and I’ll catch up with you both later I guess we don’t have to stay with the Chef they’ll be fine where are you going you’ll [Applause] See oo something smells Good hi Christian hey what looks good what just came out of the oven croissants they smell amazing I want those we’ll have four please no problem w c taste them they made with European butter and a wild Yeast Starter well this kind of reminds me of

Know as you recall I’m from Long Island and not the ritzy part I’ve worked my tail off since graduation since since you got that job as a prep cook at leonardine I remember you were jumping and screaming all over the place when you found out and we all wanted to lock

You in the meat freezer right sorry about that we were jealous you deserved it and you made your own way I respect that really you mean that I left a lot of things unsaid when we were together and I’m sorry and the way things ended I really didn’t handle it that

Well it was a long time ago you don’t have to say anything I want to I was supped to join you in New York but I didn’t you were going through a lot with your parents’ death I just wanted to be there for you I know you did it was a

Dark time and I shut you out you deserve better than that I understood really it’s okay oh I made a real mess of things but everything worked out for the best you’re taking over for your Aunt I’m Number Two at one of the best restaurants in New York I couldn’t be happier but

Still I don’t know what I was thinking letting you go whoa I guess we’ve worn out our welcome raceing back to the Car what about the wine Right He Daniella ah relax chefs I’m not here in any official capacity I’m just merely feeling a little peckish it would be an honor to serve you something oh no that’s quite all right but thank you just pretend I’m not here I’m just going to raid the refrigerator oh that’s it’s

Perfect do you mind if I use This do you mind terribly Chef Raphael not at all you know I quite enjoyed your dish today I have spent plenty of time in France and I must say your Tartine was delicious maxi in my humble opinion it should have won I must stumbly disagree but I must

Admit I was quite surprised by the level of competition you brought together but not unpleasantly what do you mean I love surprises combining new ingredients improvising a meal I’ve been cooking my whole life but I am yet a student there’s always something new to learn you’re very insightful a side effect of

Spending most of my life at my cutting board plenty of time to think speaking of which may I by all means please do I’m frightful in the kitchen I disagree with this here my fingers Smooth after a few calls well a few dozen I was able to book you backtack meetings while you’re in San Francisco next week you’re an angel Marta that’s your revised itenerary as much as I love a full schedule I I am so looking forward to retirement no second

Thoughts I think Christian is about as ready as he’ll ever be to take over the Philip’s group I do love my job but I am so ready to do all the things that I just I haven’t had time for you know yeah I’m going to sound like a foolish old woman

But I’d really like to find love again before it’s too late you are not old you’re not foolish not at All thank you Marta one more minute chefs [Applause] I [Applause] 10 seconds Left chefly this is Shu or sheshan boiled fish I’ve made a with a fresh catfish from a local lake Catfish but an interesting choice wow light you Up Chef Martinez this is my take on asabuko a specialty of Lombard Cuisine it’s a volcano cut lamb shank braids and a red win vegetable sauce on top of a Parmesan Rosetto okay not a bad osoo I agree but the sauce is a bit thin it’s supposed to

Be a hearty dish I’m sorry but any Italian grandmother can make it better who’s pretentious now and Chef Raphael this is C Prov unfortunately the rules did not permit me to use to lose sausage but I discovered many local options danela for You I vote uh shefle the spices were spot on so delicious Chef Rafael’s dish was much more complex and at least as delicious and I have to agree with Alice CET is one of the most challenging dishes in all of French cuisine superb it’s glorified Ste is hiding behind his spices that

Fish was overcooked I’m standing by Chef rapael I have to agree okay well looks like we have a winner the winner of today’s competition Chef rapael congratulations to Chef Raphael who has captured the lead with 200 points but have one more challenge to go well chefs the final challenge we to

Complete the meal that you’ve done so far my personal favorite dessert now you can cook or bake anything that you like the only requirement is that the recipe must come from the heart all right you got 24 hours let’s go good luck chefs sounds good great job thank you job you’re

Quite the food critic oh you’re just mad you were outnumbered I’m still not sure I agree with you but you did argue your point well you know all this eating is actually making me pretty hungry I know a place where we can go if you don’t mind working for your food sounds good

To me This space is amazing reminds me of what we used to talk about at lalami I thought you’d like it location’s great too you said a friend’s opening this place yeah what kind of food he hasn’t decided really when’s the opening I’m not sure yet less questions more cooking okay okay you’re the Sue Though little love into all of the things that you have what happens when you add it all up will it all go is planned yeah I think we could make something beautiful let’s give it go what happens when you take a leap of faith take a leap of faith guess we’re

About to find out we about to find out yeah I think we can make some confus It I forgot how fun this is I Know oh it’s Perfect Chef Raphael really I thought you’d be in the kitchen working it may not seem like it but I’m actually hard at work right now well if that’s hard work then uh I’d like to enroll in culinary school will you join me sure I’m searching for the perfect cheese for my

Dish of course in France we invented cheese on the occasion I have been outside of my country I have not tried too many other kinds seems pointless but there are times when I have been surprised this cheese for example it’s not like anything we have at home it is um how do you

Say simple it’s good it’s good it’s nice you enjoy your work so much well we both have a passion for what we do we do have you ever heard the same if you love what you do then you’ll never work a day in your life I just hope Christian finds that

Fulfillment that I have what do you Mean can you keep a Secret I’m retiring but you’re so young well I appreciate your flattery but I’m tired I’m not tired tired of my job I’m just I’m tired of only having my job I doo am fanatical and it hasn’t been easy on my personal life but giving up my

Work would be like giving up myself who am I without my kitchen on but aren’t you curious to find out I know who I am do You what did we make again so this is my take on troan food I fell in love with it when we were in Austria you mean enburg I remember that trip we just met yeah growing up in Long Island I’ve never seen a mountain before and

Suddenly there I was in the Alps on skis falling all over the place you were hilarious and you kept making fun of me but you stayed on the bunny slopes with me all day just to make sure I got the hang of it I wasn’t going to leave you alone those were Good

Times yes they Were unbelievable this makes me feel like I’m right back at that osar and Ski Lodge well that’s the idea I try to recreate my experiences on the plate I use the flavors to convey my memories how do you not have your own restaurant I’m serious running a restaurant has so

Little to do with cooking it’s it’s all about having a mind for business and a lot of luck you know I have a good job it’ be a huge risk going on on my own I know how you feel do you you seem to have your future pretty locked up I

Went to col new school the same as you and I had a dream of working in a kitchen too but as fortunate as I am to be in the situation it’s not what I want I had no idea as I’ve got a confession to make this is not my friend’s restaurant it’s

Mine I bought it about a year ago from a retiring chef and I’ve just been fixing it up it’s sort of a hobby I’ve been wanting to tell Aunt Daniela but I don’t know how to let her down you know she’s she’s been so good to me and she has no

One else to take over the Philips group when she retires tell me about your restaurant tell me tell me everything you planned why it it’s not like I’m going to open the place anyway it’s a hypothetical question okay I’ll start my dream restaurant is some place where there are

No food critics are best of lists a place where I can cook using only what’s fresh and in season and there’s only a few tables in the dining room so I can come out of the kitchen and talk with the guests maybe share some wine and I live in a cozy

Apartment upstairs because I never want to leave now you go okay at my dream restaurant you’re the chef because you cook better than I do but I still want to cook some and manage the place what sorry why am I the chef at your restaurant you could have any chef

In the world in history uh Yoshi Hiro marada Julia Child Edna Lewis Thomas Keller and you choose me yes excuse my reach Delicious forgot how much I love cooking don’t you cook where you work I do not for fun we don’t experiment with new dishes we stick to standard fair I’m surprised hey but what about your restaurant do you realize how perfect it is I wouldn’t give it up I mean even if

You can’t be the chef you should keep it you could hire someone to run the daily and sneak in whenever you feel like Cooking it’s not bad Idea be honest it’s because of you that I’m here judging the competition it’s not some random coincidence or my talent is it some call it coincidence I’ll call it fake the point is you’re a young and upand cominging Chef who’s very talented Thanks I can’t believe it’s so late I had a lovely day me too Night I thought I saw you come out here the Bellman said I should come check out the view it’s beautiful I come up here when I need a little perspective you know the view from my apartment in New York looks through someone else’s window the smaller city does have its perks like what we’re

Friendly there’s no fighting of a parking low cost living less traffic sounds like you’re on the tourism board well we are in the hotel business but honestly I like it here I can see Why do you ever see yourself leaving New York me if there were a reason a reason like Christian Daniel would like a word with you excuse me Sit down Christian is there something wrong we’re supposed to be down in the kitchen soon no this will only take a minute okay after the competition I am going to formally announce my retirement from the Phillips group why now because you’re ready and because now more than ever it’s come apparent to me

That I want more thanks so much this is a great honor and Daniela but but we have a competition to get to quite right that’s not well let’s go and Daniela oh Christian don’t look so nervous you are going to be a great leader I’m certain

Your mom and dad would be so proud of you I know I am was there anything else no good then off we go oh one more thing I quite like your girlfriend oh she’s not my girlfriend H well I like Her Five more Minutes J you got 1 minute Left I’ve been thinking about your restaurant I’m not sure your dream Chef is available but I know a lot of people in New York who love to work with you I’ll introduce you Alice I appreciate the help not right all right time’s up chefs ready judges Chef Lee this is

Shahu or black sesame soup a sweet soup popular in southern China where my wife is from I paired it with Chinese donuts for Dipping Chef Martinez this is my take on th lease cake it’s a cake soaked in three kinds of milk evaporated condensed in heavy cream you can find it all across Latin America and that is where my heart will always be I like that and Chef Raphael this is a sule I

Prepared from a surprising cheese I found at a creary outside of Kansas City the day I tasted my first sule that was the day I fell in love with cooking Perfectly executed no argument here seriously that’s a fresh Light so we have a win okay yeah judges have you reached a decision we have the winner of the dessert challenge with one of the most elegantly delicious executed desserts Chef Raphael this win earns Chef Raphael an additional 300 points making him the

Winner of this charity cook off congratulations thank you this is truly an honor and of course tomorrow night our judges will prepare dinner in Chef Raphael’s honor what was that do you not read the letter before you agreed to being a judge not the fine print apparently if you prepare just one

Of the dishes you did last night everyone will be eating the best meal they ever had M Myers has Christian told you the good news yet what good news go on tell her tomorrow night I will be announcing my retirement but more importantly I’ll be announcing that Christian is the new

Head of the Phillips group he has such a bright future ahead of him don’t you think tomorrow well I must be off and you three have a dinner to prepare catch up with you guys later I was going to tell you myself no congrats that’s what you want is it oh Alice Brett

Who what are you doing here I got on the first flight here after the Gayla I wanted to surprise you you did how was it major success the bowy is back on the map I have some really incredible news hey man Brad petta Alice’s boyfriend Christian Graham and I was just leaving

I’ll see you tomorrow who’s that old friend H all right there you are just sign right here and it’s official you’ll be owner and CEO of the fil group now that you’re in charge of everything I think you’d look a little more pleased I appreciate everything you’re doing for me but but

What is it Alice you think it’s a secret don’t be ridiculous everyone knows great so what if she has a boyfriend that’s a pretty big so what don’t you think no I don’t but I’ve seen you two together the past few days and know if it’s meant to be

Then no job or amount of money is going to change the fact that she’s living a life in New York a good life a life without me have you told her how you feel about her I’m pretty sure she knows well I’m no expert in love but in any business deal

You always State your intentions clearly or you will never get what you want ah there you are Chef I’ve been looking all over for you what is it I was just hoping you might join me for a celebratory beverage you’re aware that we employ a small army of dishwashers here Chef I

Requested the dishwashers leave me be I don’t trust anyone with my cooking utensils a chef’s job doesn’t end when the meal is served in fact a chef’s job never ends so is that a no on the drink may I join you once I finish my task please

Because I have something to celebrate as well what is that tomorrow night I will be announcing my retirement from the Phillips group I will finally have all the time to do everything I’ve put off I’ll travel the world I suppose I’ve already done that but maybe I’ll find a hobby I’ve never

Had one of those should I take up cooking may I speak my mind please I can’t understand why you are leaving a career that has made you so fulfilled you’re good at what you do you have a bathroom it shows it may Tire you from time to time

F but what done is work does end I want some things for my life that this job has just made impossible a chance love for instance I took over my husband’s business after his death and this job has has driven away every proper man I’ve met since

Then perhaps the fault was with the man and not the job excuse me I don’t have to be familiar with the details to know that these weren’t the right men for you they became involved with a hardworking woman and what Ren away because you couldn’t change only a fool wouldn’t admire and

Respect your dedication for your business your philanthropy if you retire now you stand a chance of meeting more a when you deserve a man who appreciates who you Are remind me why are we here again I’m making a deconstructed apple strudel for dessert don’t they have grocery stores I want everything as fresh as possible huh why are you so worked up we’re on vacation you’re on vacation I’m cooking and I want this dinner to be
