Some chefs call them "lovers," romantic dishes for special occasions.
properly cooked, they are as soft as butter.
They can be baked, filled with wheat or jam
... or you can bake it, boil it...
... burn it, and even cook it slowly.
But there is no greater sin than emptying quail burns.
cooked perfectly, and must have a touch of tenderness for a woman.
but you also need the right type of quail. It must be fleshy or easy to dry.
I prefer to serve them by roasting them.
it makes them feel more and feels stronger.
and on the other hand truffle ravioli and wild mushrooms...
... they will look more comfortable with it.
Of course, you can also cook them in a pig's bladder...
... in a mixture of Madeira and cognac.
You know, the bladder helps protect the quail, keeps it moist.
You can serve it with oyster sauce and a sprinkling of leeks...
... caramel onion, truffle.
Truffles look perfect with almost all quail dishes...
... Because they prioritize the tender taste.
Are you feeling okay?
I'm fine. continue.
they really admire quail cuisine that feels soft.
But you really have to be able to buy truffles...
... better you better forget about this.
- Now, for the opening, I suggest... - Kate, please...
... can I change the subject for a while? - no
Why did you come see me every week?
my boss said he would fire me if I didn't take therapy.
and why do you think he thinks you need therapy?
why?

I don't know at all.

- sorry? - why did I bring you...
... a new opening with my greetings? - This is cooked properly.
No need to be shy, honey. even the best mistake throughout foie gras.

- What do you mean by that? - Comme il faut? "As it should."
140 degrees in the oven, 80 degrees water temperature, for 25 minutes...
... not too long, not too long, with a touch of love, honey.
That's all. We will take our business elsewhere.

How many times have I said?
You can't make noise every time someone doesn't like your food.
- Please. People are savage. - And paying customers.
if he says the foie gras won't be finished, it won't.
- foie gras are cruel words to animals - Don't interfere.
I swear to God, if you're not one of the best chefs in the city, I'll fire you.
One of the best chefs? What does it mean?
I'm sure he said it only to bother me.
He said it just to make me uneasy.
- isn't that right? - it's up to what you say chef

Nick is there. I have to act fast.
The last thing I need now is are some crazy people in my kitchen.

He has permission to drive a taxi, I can see it there.
I don't even know what is needed to get permission to drive a taxi.

- This is not the same - what do you mean?
my mother is an amazing cook.
Of course, I am the only person who values it first.
And after your mother died, did your father take over the cuisine?

My grandmother whispered this recipe in my ear in her coffin.
He brought it from Old Country and I made it especially for you today.
- happy? - very happy.
I think your grandmother lives in Miami.

Well, we all thought he wouldn't eat it. It feels like a miracle.
This is a miracle.
You take care of these dishes and I'll take care of this one.

good, good, good.
I have some very large items.

yes I am. But my mother is much better, and she doesn't throw a plate at me.
Oh, God. I need more space
- Why are you so mad at me? - I'm not angry with you.
You are very angry.
Look, this is my kitchen. I have worked very hard to get here...
... and I won't let you take it from me.
What makes you think I will take it?
What else might you want and can do?
You treat me like a dog, Larry.
I'm not a dog. I'm a human! a human, damn...
Sorry, I held an audition.
Do you mind?
hear, I don't need this job. I can work wherever I want.
I want to work here because it's an honor to cook with you...
... But I'd rather work somewhere where I'm welcome.
So if you want me to go you just say so.
want to tell me What happened here?
okay?
wait a minute, where are you going?
I'm sorry, looks like you have to find someone else.
- Kate, what have you done? - I am not doing anything.
Nick, please. We need you.
Alright, I have to hear from him.
This is my restaurant.
This is probably your restaurant, Paula, but this is the kitchen.
without him...
... all this will only be a pile of from hot metal and dirty dishes, so...
he decided.
Kate.
You don't seem to give me another choice.
- Do you want me to stay here? - Didn't I just say that?
I didn't hear that sentence.
I want you to stay here.
With pleasure. Even though you will never ask me.
you're burning.
And I know you are scared, but it's okay, because I'm here.
But if you're really scared, you can wake me up and I'll hold your hand.
Especially you, Louie, because you're the smallest...
Zoe?
Hi.
When did Charlotte leave?
I don't know. Some time ago.
Looks so comfortable there.
I have an idea.
What if you come with me to the restaurant tomorrow night?
Night.
I beg of you.
I've tried everything. No matter what I do, he doesn't eat it.
Why not try giving him some of the usual children's food?
Have you ever talked to my therapist?
All right, two foie gras, one tartare, two cream soup and goat cheese.
Breathe in.

This is not fair. Not!
I'm rich. I'm rich. I'm rich!
You know what this means, right?
- No, what does this mean? - War!

What about the ribs, you guys? I need two sea bass.
Alright, pancetta, goat cheese, oysters, tartare steak, roasted rib ribs.
- How much longer for the ribs, Mario? - ribs come.
come on, let's take it.
I need that Souffle five minutes ago. Let's hurry up.
We reach 110 tonight. Everything is very good.
You really mastered the menu, Nick.
You put your signature on the plate, and all visitors pay attention.
How do you want to work permanently?
I think I will be very happy.
If it's okay with Kate.
- who is it? - Do you know what time it is?
- what? - This is very, very late.
The kitchen is a very different place without you tonight.
I'm sure you're fine without me.
- This is hell. - It is better.
Drinks...
... White wine...
... celery...
... onion, red onion...
... and garlic.
I get black fungus.
- I don't have... I think I'm... - Don't think about it.
timed pancakes.
Where is my great chef?
- Pancake? - Do you want to help me?
Okay, throw it.
good. You can start your own restaurant. as Zoe restaurant I will call it Nick and Zoe.
excuse me? I squeeze orange juice.
OK. Nick and Kate and Zoe restaurants.
I like that ring.
Not in front of Zoe.
Zoe, now I will kiss your aunt.
This is very embarrassing.
So are we going to work together now?
We will do what we always do.
You tell me what to do...
... and I will go behind your back and do whatever I want.
I want to show something. Fast! Let's go.
Excuse me. Do you have kaffir lime leaves?
- over there. You touch, you buy it. - I know, I know.
- What do you need it for - - You will know.
here it is.
- one for you. - it smells good.
likes? one for you.
How do you know this smell?
Is this your turmeric sauce?
Apparently we have no secrets anymore.
You touched it.
I know. I bought it.
And, Nick, I like the wine which you recommend for the new menu.
All right, you just have to discuss it with Kate.
John, tell us about asparagus dishes.
We also serve specifically in addition to other foods...
Instead, an appetizer with asparagus and onions...
... and on the other side of asparagus there will be slices of watermelon and radish.
table five will come in two seconds, chef.
Nick, the couple at number eight wants to greet you.
- They really enjoy the sea fish... - Kate is responsible for all food.
- He hates leaving the kitchen. - Interesting.
- What else can you tell us about him? - Do you know what?
I'm not going to get into this problem. I don't care who will go out there.
But if it's you, help me and try not to stab anyone who complains.
Don't look at me.
Ku. I. There. Now.
- So, what's the story? - What do you mean?
I turned back for a few days and this:
"Nick, wine. Nick, customer. Nick, box..."
He offered me your job.
What?
Why didn't you tell me?
- I can't believe this. - I was just about to tell you.
I know I can't trust you.
- When I meet you, I know. - The truth is that you can't trust anyone.
- You never trust anyone in your life. - Guess what.
Why don't you have the balls to run your own kitchen, Nick?
Instead of coming here and taking everything from me?
- Is that what you've been thinking about? - That's what I thought.
You know, Kate...
... sometimes it's okay to let someone go. Maybe one of them today...
... You will know that. - you do not understand.
This place is my life - This is who I am. - No, this is not you really.
This is just the smallest part of you.
Anna, it's me.
Hi.
How is everything?
I think we did it well. We play Monopoly.
- Who won? - He.
Thank you very much, Anna.
- see you tomorrow. - Good night.
You have one message.
Monday, 11:54 p. m.
Oh, and to note, I reject it.
End of message.
Oh, and to note, I reject it...
Kate.
are you still awake?
where is Nick?
He returns home after work.
go to sleep, it's late.
- Kate? - Yeah?
You can sleep with Louie if you want.
Oh dear, how good you are.
He needs you, my IA is fine.
good night.
You have no right to get him out of here. This is my restaurant.
- You have made everything very clear. - You better find a replacement for me quickly.
You don't need my help with the last one.
- Kate. - Okay. I will find someone.
Like a certificate or something? I don't have a small piece of paper.
But there are people driving on the road without a license.
They can't drive, so, you know.
Well, my specialty is in the beef area.
I deal with meat all the time. Sausage, beef, cut pork.
I'm famous for my Vietnamese pork...
... With saffron mashed potatoes and guideline for asparagus limes.
I hang out with people. Really, I'm actually a big person.
Oh, I'm someone who is populist.
I've been asking for a team player It seems like everyone is following what I lead.
There is a misunderstanding between me and the head chef...
... and the manager and owner.
Fired is like, you know, this, "You're fired!" Do you know.
But, no, I think we parted peacefully.
Why doesn't Nick come to see us again?
We fight.
- What problem? - Only stupid things for adults.
Why don't you tell me?
- Not because I don't want to tell you. - Will he come back?
No, he won't come back, baby.
Zoe.
Zoe, are you awake?
I'm done.
Have you had breakfast?
Zoe?
Nick, it's me. Is Zoe with you?
I woke up this morning, and he's gone.
I'm here now. They haven't seen it yet.
I don't know. I said about our problem to him last night and he was angry, but...
Oh, my God.
What did the police say?
They check the bus terminal and train station. He can be anywhere.
Well, he's a kid. He might choose the place he knows, don't you think?
He goes to school and to the restaurant, that's all.
Kate, this will be fine. He will be fine.
You know what, maybe we should check whether he returned home.
Zoe?
Maybe he left a note somewhere.
He is not here.
Does he carry his backpack? If he doesn't pack anything...
- He doesn't carry louie. - What?
He won't go far without louie, doesn't he?
I made him disappointed, Nick. I feel like I made everything fall apart.
- We will find it. I promise. - He needs his mother.
- He only needs his mother. - Kate.
I think I know where he might be...
- There he is there. - Oh, thank God.
Zoe, are you okay?
Zoe, I beg you, never do it again.
I'm very scared something happened to you.
dear, what is this?
I'm afraid I'll forget it.
We will never forget it.
I promise.
Never.
And we can come here anytime you want, okay?
You will go inside, don't you, Nick?
Not today, sweetie.
- Are you still angry with each other? - Not.
Come on.
See you later upstairs.
- You know... - You know...
I just want to say I'm sorry, Nick.
Don't apologize. I really want to say thank you.
I think a lot about what you say...
... About me I don't have the courage to go after what I want, and you're right.
That's why...
I think you should know there is something else that I never did.
What is that?
I never invited myself to the apartment of a man, a man who closed his eyes...
... and fed him turmeric sauce while asked him not to go to San Francisco.
- You never did it? - Never.
Too bad.
- You will make it wither first, don't you? - Yeah, chef.
Don't forget to reduce the sauce a little, okay?
- You crossed the line. - Not.
Yes, you are. Look, your spoon is in my territory.
Listen, I can't help if your piece is a little thin. I have to say something.
I will not say. Your mixture is lumpy.
You're crazy.
- This is perfect. - I will be the judge for that.
You're right, this is perfect.
Pancakes.
- Thank you. - please.
Zoe, that's enough.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hey, Zoe. thanks.
Wait. let him tell us. What do we have?
