Let's go.
You two are about as slow as a herd of turtles.
What do you think you're doing?
- We were just-- - Just trying to snatch up
some of this chicken I just pulled out of the fryer.
I told you.
What's going on here?
Nothing! We're just talking.
Okay. The kitchen isn't any place to be playing around.
Yes, Dad.
That goes for you too, young Jacob.
Yes, Mr. Rider.
- How was the pastry? - Needed salt.
That's what I said.
Shh.
Thanks, Grandma!
Let's go.
Oh.
If I could eat one food for the rest of my life,
it would be Grandma CC's chicken.
What about you?
Same.
You can't choose the same food as me.
Well, then I choose ice cream.
Dang, that's a good one.
You think you'll be a chef like your dad and grandma
when you grow up?
The most famous chef in the world.
Except I want to live somewhere fancy...
like New York...
Paris...
somewhere like that.
Maybe I'll live there, too.
You want to live in a big city?
As long as I'm with you.
You're funny.

It's quick. It's easy. It's delicious.
Welcome back, everyone! I'm Taylor Rider.
And in case you're just joining us,
today I am teaching you
how to turn your basic big game party platters
into dishes that will make your entire team
cheer touchdown!
Now, over here, we have a fresh take on a classic party staple,
chili con queso.
Let's hold for a moment. Taylor, can you do that again?
Just with a little more enthusiasm, if you can.
Big smile.
Just like that.
Now, over here, we have a fresh take on a classic party staple,
chili con queso.
I prepared it all before the break,
so let's check on it and see how it tastes.
To finish the dish, you want to add one scoop of sour cream,
and some chives.
Little bit or a lot, that is up to you.
Give it a stir.
And...
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dah-dah.
Mm. Oh. I cannot wait for you to try this at home.
Seriously, it's gonna wow all of your party guests.
And the best part is,
- it's quick, - It's quick!
- it's easy, - It's easy!
- and it's delicious. - And it's delicious!
That's right!
I'm Taylor June Rider, and as always,
thank you for inviting me to the party.
Cut! All right, everyone. That is a wrap on this episode
and the third and final season of Quick, Easy, and Delicious.
Thank you, everybody.
Taylor, what a way to cap off the season.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Seriously, I never wanted to throw a tailgate party
so bad in my life, and I don't even like sports.
I do my best.
So what brings you down to the trenches?
Good news, I hope.
Well, I locked in a meeting tomorrow at 9:00 AM
with the network president.
I assume you'll be able to make that?
Yes, absolutely. Of course. Thank you.
No need to thank me. You earned it.
- I'll see you tomorrow. - Yeppers, I'll see you tomorrow!
Yeppers...
Yeppers?
Man. No I don't--
Remember, good chimichurri is all
about the fresh ingredients.
Now, you don't want to turn the ingredients into paste,
but you do want to smash everything up just enough
to fuse the flavors.
My mom always says,
"Cuando cocinas con el corazon,
es imposible hacer un mal plato."
"When you cook from the heart, it's impossible to make
a bad dish."
From my childhood to yours.
Come in!
I just heard the great news about your meeting tomorrow!
Congratulations!
Oh!
It is time to finally put QED behind us
and show the world who Taylor Rider really is!
I can see you now standing alongside the titans,
Rachael Ray, Stephen Coe, and Annabelle Fisher!
Okay. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
We should celebrate.
I've been dying to try that new place
that just opened up around the corner.
I would love to, but I can't tonight 'cause I have a date.
Who's the lucky guy? Give me all the deets.
His name is Tim. He's a self-proclaimed foodie.
And technically we have not met yet.
Dating app again? It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Everybody's on them.
It kind of seems like a digital meat market.
Oh, please. Every girl has to kiss a couple of frogs
before she finds her prince.
And trust me, your prince is out there.
And I bet you he is fine.
I give up.
Could I get some ketchup
that's already out of the bottle?
Right away, sir.
Thanks.
What kind of fancy restaurant brings you ketchup in a bottle?
You should try a bite without it.
Nah. No. I'm a ketchup kind of guy.
I mean, let's be honest.
What doesn't taste better with a little ketchup, right?
So I should ask you,
how does someone become a Culinary Network chef?
I entered a food competition a few years ago
and took first place. What about you?
Were you a chef before that or...
I was a sous chef at a boutique restaurant in New York for years
before the network snatched me up.
But I've been around food my whole life.
And now you finally have a career worth pursuing.
What does that mean?
Who wants to grind 12 hours a day in a kitchen? Am I right?
I mean, what's the fun in that?
It's not the most glamorous job at times,
but when you create food from your heart and soul that
people genuinely love, there is something magical about it.
- Your ketchup, sir. - Thanks, boss.
You know, not to overstate the obvious,
but I'm a pretty big foodie myself.
Mm-hmm, I saw that on your profile.
You should let me cook for you sometime.
I promise.
I will not disappoint.
Hey. You back at the office?
Burning the midnight oil.
So how'd it go?
Horrible. I should have canceled.
You found a thing, didn't you?
What do you mean a thing?
Don't play coy with me. I know you.
There was definitely a thing.
I don't...
Okay. He put ketchup on his beef Wellington.
I mean, who does that?
He takes me to the nicest restaurant in downtown
and then put ketchup on his Wellington.
And it wasn't just a little bit. It was like a whole layer.
You're on another level right now. I cannot with you.
I'm sorry. It was barbaric.
I see a lot of cats in your future.
Are you saying I'm picky?
I am particular, not picky.
Yeah? Um, what about that hot architect you went out with?
We both agreed the pitch of his voice was too high.
It was like nails on a chalkboard.
And um, that bartender you met?
Oh, jeans and flip-flops guy?
Don't even get me started on him.
And now, ketchup.
You might be a little right.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step.
It's that bad?
We'll get into all that later.
Mr. Ketchup Man can go sauce himself.
How are you feeling about tomorrow?
Nervous. Scared. What if it's not good enough?
You are the most creative and charismatic
TV chef I know. Why all the doubt?
I don't know.
Three years of being pigeonholed into party platters
and finger foods can really take a toll on a chef's confidence.
Water under the bridge. All you need to focus on
is knocking the stuffing out of that meeting tomorrow.
You're right.
Positive affirmations, baby.
And get some sleep.
Goodnight.
It's gonna be great. It's gonna be great.
It's going to be great.
There she is.
Good morning, Mr. Thompson.
Mrs. Smithers, it is so good to finally meet you.
- Now, please have a seat. - Thank you.
And these are for you.
Mr. Thompson, you want to start us off?
Sure. Taylor, for the past three years, your audience base
has nearly doubled with each new episode.
And yesterday's final episode landed QED
as the third highest watched show currently running.
Congratulations.
That's great! Who knew?
Exactly. So if it isn't broke, why fix it, right?
I know a lot of work went into this.
But to be frank, we don't need another show
featuring complicated food that most of our audience
can't even make.
What we need is this.
Ta-da!
I... I don't understand.
We're moving QED to primetime and increasing your budget.
And, of course, your pay.
Now, America loves you, Taylor Rider.
And what they love just as much is food that's...
Quick, easy, and delicious.
So what do you say?
I can't believe you said no.
I can't believe no's all I said.
QED is such a gimmick.
But thanks to you, that gimmick made the network a lot of money.
You can't blame them for not being ready to let it go.
I know. You're right.
And I don't want to seem ungrateful.
It's just time for me to move on.
- Okay. You ready? - Yes.
You are going to love it.
- Uh-uh. Wait, wait, wait. - Okay.
And bon appetit.
Mm.
If I could cook like that, I would never leave the kitchen.
If I could move past 15-minute tailgate recipes
that aren't even my own, maybe I could teach you.
Cute.
I understand your frustration,
but you have got to keep your eye on the prize.
Primetime is a huge opportunity.
- Is it, though? - Yeah, it is!
Within months, you'll be a household name
with your own product line, your own cookbooks.
And once that happens, the world is your oyster.
I'm talking dollar dollar bills, baby.
Speaking of dollar dollar bills, I'm canceling my flights.
I can't go back home. I need to look for a job.
Absolutely not.
What?
You need to clear your head before making any more
network decisions.
There are no more network decisions to be made.
I already said no.
No. No.
You had a temporary lapse in judgment
because you're exhausted
from three long, very successful seasons of QED.
But soon you'll be calm and relaxed.
And I'll relay to the network that you're sorry
and you're grateful.
And looking forward to their official offer.
- But-- - No buts. No buts.
As your agent and dear friend,
that is our story and we're sticking to it.
Eat your sandwich.
Yes, ma'am.

H-Hi.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
I'm just making a delivery. What, what are you doing here?
I finally got some time off, so I decided to fly home.
Wow. Good for you.
Do you know where my parents are? I thought they'd be here.
So did I.
I didn't know they were doing renovations.
Here, I, uh, got some cinnamon buns.
I thought maybe I'd give it to Glenn and Patty,
but I'm sure you could pass 'em along for me.
That's sweet.
So, how's TV chef life treating you?
Great. Looks like they're gonna move the show to primetime.
Wow. Pretty soon, all of America is going to know
the culinary secrets behind Taylor Rider's famous party dip.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Well, I, I better get going. People to see,
deliveries to make.
Right. Of course. Good to see you.
You know, we're, uh, throwing a surprise party for Jordan
tonight at the Fenway.
Right. It's his birthday.
You should come.
What time?
It starts at 6:30.
I might be able to swing that.
He'd really love to see you.
Yeah, I'd love to see him.
Thank you again for the buns.
Oh, yeah. It was no problem. They were quick and easy, and--
It's good to see you, Taylor Rider.
You too.
Oh.
- Hey, Mom! - Taylor, oh!
I'm so happy to be home.
It's so good to have you home.
Listen, I tried to call you.
Why weren't you guys at the restaurant?
Oh, um, well, let's talk about that later.
Let's go in and see Dad.
Oh, yes. Oh, I've missed him.
Oh, my gosh. The place looks so great.
- Is that my Junebug? - Dad!
Oh, oh, oh.
- What's wrong? - Nothing. Nothing.
This rascal fell off a ladder painting the other day.
- Oh, Dad. - It's nothing. It's nothing.
Nothing to worry about. Don't concern yourself.
Wait. Painting? Was that at the restaurant?
Is that what all the tarps were about?
Oh, you stopped by the restaurant?
Yeah. I was gonna surprise you. And then Jacob showed up.
Oh, shoot. We forgot to cancel the order.
You were supposed to remind me.
Oh, excuse me. I've been a little preoccupied.
- Thank you very much. - Oh, please.
It's only a couple of bruised ribs.
Which the doctor said was on the verge of being fractured.
Hence no heavy lifting, yard work, laundry or dishes.
If you can stand, you can do dishes.
- Nice try though. - It was worth a shot.
Busted.
He might be a little clumsy, but he is a tough guy.
- I am strong like bull. - Oh, Dad, the macho man.
My beauty, you are so beautiful.
Get your stuff?
Oh, no, no, Mom. I got the luggage.
You stay focused on that prime rib in the oven.
How'd you know?
I could smell the garlic and rosemary when I walked in.
Oh.
Like father, like daughter.
Whew.
- Do we have an aspirin? - Yeah.
- I'll get you some. - Thank you.
This is heaven.
I'm really glad that you're here.
Oh, me too.
So now the work's over, what's next?
Actually, they're thinking of picking up QED
for a few more seasons.
I just found out a couple days ago.
Well, that's wonderful. Maybe now they'll let you do
some of your own recipes for once.
Stop, Glenn.
Well, outside of work, is there anything else that's new?
Same old, same old.
You know, the show kept me pretty busy, so...
So is there a someone special we should know about?
- Come on now. - What?
Unfortunately, nothing to report in that department.
Well, that's perfectly fine, sweetie.
If there's anything I've learned, you cannot rush love.
Says the guy who proposed to me on our fourth date
in his own restaurant.
What can I say? I'm, um...
just a bit of a romantic.
Speaking of the restaurant,
you are short a chef.
And I would like to help.
Well...
That's very nice of you, but uh,
it's totally unnecessary.
Dad, you're in no condition to be in the kitchen.
Please. I insist.
Glenn, you should tell her.
Tell me what?
Nothing. Nothing.
- Dad. - Glenn...
Dad, what's going on?
Well, running a restaurant is really hard work.
Especially these days. It's--
Yeah, I mean, right. Honestly, what do we know about,
about serving vegan pumpkin pate
or why people want deconstructed avocado toast?
I mean, all that is, is avocado on toast.
You know, how much more deconstructed can you get,
right? And then, of course, then there's this activated
- charcoal that-- - Okay, honey.
- I think you've started to go-- - Yeah, I knew--
I just found out a couple of weeks ago that your mother
is in ketosis, okay? And she doesn't say very much about it,
but I think it could turn very serious.
And then I won't know what to do 'cause I'll be by myself.
What's going on?
Glenn, just tell her.
Your mother and I want to sell the restaurant.
Mind if I join you?
- Hi. - Hi.
I just don't understand. How could you sell the restaurant
like it doesn't mean anything?
Well, I think we both know better than that.
Well, that's what it feels like.
Trust me, this was not an easy choice for either of us.
But after Grandma CC passed away, your dad, his--
His heart just hasn't been in it.
But everything he makes is so good.
I know, sweetie. It is good,
but good just doesn't cut it nowadays.
Well, how am I just now finding out about this?
You know how your father can be.
He's a very proud man.
Some might call it stubborn.
Yeah.
So are you gonna go to Jordan's party?
How do you know about that?
We were supposed to cater it.
That's why Jacob dropped off the order.
It would mean a lot to him.
I don't know. I'm not really in the mood.
It's your vacation.
Have some fun.
You haven't seen your friends in a long time.
It would be nice to see everybody.
Yeah. Go. You should go.

Taylor June Rider. Is that you?
Jordan! Jordan, happy birthday!
Thank you! What are you doing here?
Oh, Jacob invited me. I hope that's okay.
No. I meant what are you doing in town?
I finally got some time off.
I love it. Tom, get over here!
Look who it is.
Well, if it isn't our star chef in the flesh.
Tom Sikimeyer.
Get over here.
- It is so good to see you. - You too.
- Wait, are you two? - Yes, we are.
Jordan finally worked up the nerve to ask me out.
It's about time.
Yeah, don't get him started.
- Hey, we need drinks. - Yes.
Yes, please.
So how did this happen?
Tom and I connected at a salsa class a while back.
- And the rest has been history. - I am so happy for you.
Thank you, but enough about us. What is it like being famous?
I'm far from famous. I just cook a little on TV.
Sweetie, here in Dunedin, if you've been on TV more
- than once, you're famous. - Fair enough.
I come bearing gifts.
- Oh. - Oh.
For the birthday boy.
And our hometown hero.
Thank you.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Happy birthday. - Thank you.
You made it. I wasn't sure you'd come.
Yeah, I wasn't sure I was gonna come either.
It's been a long day.
Is everything okay?
I just found out my parents are selling the restaurant.
Yeah, we're all really sorry to hear about them closing.
You knew?
I'm pretty sure everyone in town knows.
Do they?
Jacob! Jacob!
Let's go have a drink!
Yeah, Jacob. Go have a drink.
It's getting pretty late. I should probably head home.
Oh, come on, man. It's my birthday party.
Yeah, don't leave on my account.
Not everything is about you, Taylor.
Got a lot of deliveries tomorrow. Gonna be a busy day.
See you guys later. Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Catch you around.
So shots?
Sorry about that. I'll be right back.
I'll hang out with you.
Thanks.
Jacob.
Jacob!
I don't wanna fight right now, Taylor.
- You lied to me. - I never lied.
You knew about my parents' restaurant
and you didn't say anything. You should have told me.
It wasn't my place to say anything.
You have not changed a bit. Always passing the buck.
Says the girl who left and never looked back.
You wanted to get away? Well, you got it.
Do not even go there.
I was away chasing my dreams, unlike someone else I know
who's perfectly content just surviving.
Well, that's the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it?
What is that supposed to mean?
I'll see you around, Taylor.
♪ There are things that make a man ♪

Vodka soda, please.
Just like old times, huh?
Hi, Linda.
Sucks Jacob had to leave.
You know, I don't ever remember him getting that mad at me,
but I guess that's just the way you two are, huh?
Yeah. It's like we're two peas in a pod, I guess.
Yeah, if that's what you want to call it.
So how long are you in town for?
I'm not sure. Maybe a week or two.
So you'll be here for the Food and Wine Cook-Off then?
What's the cook-off?
Oh, it's just a little something the Food and Wine Festival
started a few years back.
Every decent restaurant in town participates.
Winner gets crowned Dunedin's best restaurant of the year.
It's good for bragging rights and drumming up a hefty amount
of business.
You know what?
I think your daddy competed the first year running.
He took second place.
- Who took first? - We did.
And every year after that.
Must not be a lot of competition then.
Well, you said it,
not me.
It's so good to see you.
Good to see you too.
♪ I'm just striving with my old spark ♪
I know we talk about the Seven Wonders of the World.
What about China? Huh? There's so much to see there.
Look here. The Great Wall is massive.
Good morning.
- Hi. - Want some coffee?
Please.
So how was the party?
Oh, the party was interesting.
Linda was there catering.
Sorry.
Is there anything else I should know about, guys?
Are you getting a divorce? Am I adopted?
Would you like to tell her or should I?
Ha, ha.
Look, I know it's a lot to-- a lot to take in.
I understand that maybe we should have told you about
the restaurant a little sooner.
It's okay.
So when are you selling?
Well, as soon as we complete the renovations.
Which are gonna take even longer now,
thanks to wild man over here.
Well, I'd like to help.
Oh. Okay.
Well, we'll take all the help we can get.
Great.
Let's go grab some breakfast and get started.
- I am starving. - Yeah, me, too.
I will catch up with you two later.
I want to pick up some paint samples.
- You're not hungry? - I already ate so--
You did?
Yeah. Deconstructed avocado toast.
Oh, what a sellout! Oh!
That's a good one, Mom.
What a marriage.
I am now going to call the attorney.
It's you and me. Let's just go, come on.
Dad, here? Really?
What?
It's the best breakfast in town.
Oh, my goodness. What a treat.
Hi, Kathy!
Taylor, Linda and I have watched every episode of QED.
You must be a proud daddy.
Oh, the proudest, but it's good to know
that we finally have a decent chef in the family.
Bless your heart.
Why don't I get you two a table? Come on.
Oh, great.
- Oh, I forgot my cell phone. - I can go get it.
Absolutely not. I still have two good legs.
Start me off with a cup of coffee.
Done.
Why don't I make that two coffees?
Please.
And you know what? I'll let Linda know you're here.
Great...
- Hi. - Hi.
I was sitting over there. I saw you guys come in.
- What are you doing here? - I eat here all the time.
Of course you do.
- Listen, about last night. - Yeah, about that.
I-I wanted to apologize. Look, the past is the past,
and there's no reason that you and I can't be friends.
- Agreed? - Agreed.
I said some things I shouldn't have.
I was upset. And I took it out on you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
Truce?
Truce.
So uh, when do you head back?
Actually, I decided to stay for a while.
Help my parents with the restaurant.
My dad's injury really put a damper on the renovations.
Oh, well, I'm sure they appreciate that.
- How can I help? - You don't have to help.
I know. But I want to.
You're not the only one who's gonna be sad about this.
- Jacob. - Glenn.
- How are you? - Good. Good to see you.
You, too. You look great.
What have you been doing?
Oh, uh, Patty's dragging me to this Pilates class
three times a week.
- Maybe I should get into that. - No.
By the way, Taylor has asked if I can come by and help out
at the restaurant, and I would be more than happy to.
Oh, that's great. The more the merrier.
Why don't you stay and join us?
You know, I'd love to, but I actually just ate
and I gotta run.
But, uh, I'll stop by the restaurant later.
If you need anything, just let me know.
I will, helper.
- All right. Bye. - Bye.
Well, that was an unexpected pleasure.
Yes, it was.
Did you find your phone?
Yeah. It's exactly where I thought--
Hello, Taylor. Mr. Rider.
We are so glad to see you're doing better.
You know, you gave us all quite a scare.
Well, small town news tends to be a bit dramatic at times.
Yes, well, that's part of the charm, I suppose.
By the way, I haven't gotten a chance to thank you personally
for passing along the catering business.
My mom and I really do appreciate it.
Well, I'm really glad that worked out.
Oh, Jordan was very happy.
By the way, you two must be excited about the competition.
- What competition? - Taylor didn't tell you?
You're back in town one day and already you made the front page.
Anyways, may the best restaurant win.
I'll send over a server to take your order.
Thank you. Taylor...
I might have entered us in the cook-off.
Us? Who is us?
Look, I'm selling the restaurant.
- I don't have time for this. - Dad, I can tell you're upset,
but look at the bright side.
What is the bright side?
Jessica says any publicity is good publicity, right?
Oh, and think about it this way. Sea Sea Rider's crowned
Food and Wine Festival champion. Not a bad selling point.
- Sure, but if I'm not-- - If we're gonna go out,
let's go out with a bang.
Plus, I can think of no better way to spend my down time
than cooking with my dad like we used to.
- Did it get me off the hook? - Yes.
So you are competing?
Yes. Well, technically, the restaurant is.
But you just said your parents were selling the restaurant.
Isn't that the whole reason you're staying?
They are. And it is.
Is this about the restaurant or Linda?
Both.
I mean, if I can get my dad to fall back in love
with cooking by winning the contest,
then maybe I can save the restaurant.
And you can shut this Linda Box girl up
once and for all.
Exactly!
The only thing I haven't figured out yet is the money.
Can I make a suggestion as your friend and not your agent?
Of course.
With the salary the network is offering,
you could cover the cost of reopening without hesitation.
Is it really that much?
Check your texts.
You're kidding?
Nope. And I can get you more if you let me try.
I don't know. Money isn't everything.
Look, if you don't like what they come back with,
then nothing changes. There's no harm in flirting.
Famous last words.
What is this? Foccacia is not gonna work.
- So where were we? - Recipes, recipes, recipes.
Yes. Oh, can you hand me the ones you put over there?
Look who I found wandering around outside.
He said he's here looking for work.
I am at your disposal.
Oh.
What is going on in here?
Surprise. We decided to enter the annual cooking contest.
We did, did we?
Not me, I didn't...
It was a-- Anyway.
Well, I guess it's a good thing I got Prince Charming here
to pick up the slack.
Well, what are you guys gonna make?
We are just starting to figure that out.
- Yeah... - Okay!
- Have fun, kids. - Thank you, my darling.
- You follow me. - All right.
I'm gonna go and help her out.
You know, what we really need to do is just make something
to get our juices flowing, you know?
That's a great idea. Dessert or entree?
I have a sweet tooth, so--
We should do dessert.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
Let's see.
I have just the thing.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
So that's Baked Alaskan Flambé?
Not quite yet.
We used to do this all the time at the restaurant in New York.
Yeah?
- Now for the fun part. - Oof!
- You ready? - Yeah.
- Whoa! - Whoa!
Oh, I forgot the cinnamon.
It's in the back pantry.
Where in the pantry?
No, forget it. I think I got some up here.
What?
I've got some up here.
Whoa! Fire!
Jacob!
It's supposed to be on fire.
Glenn, I am so sorry.
I guess I have kitchen duty for the rest of my life.
Probably.
Oh...
What happened?
My fireman training kicked in.
You were a Boy Scout.
The scouts take fire very seriously.
I gotta clean up very seriously.
Oh, Dad.
Oh, my goodness. Can I help you make another one?
Oh, no, no. We're calling it quits.
Plus you, you have a lot of cleaning up to do.
Yes, I do.
When we're all clean, do you want to take a walk?
Yeah, that sounds great.
Where are you thinking?
So what's new with you? Are you happy at the farm?
You know what? I really am.
You know, there's something right about waking up
with the sun,
watching everything grow around me,
staying connected to the community.
I mean, I know it sounds simple, but I really enjoy it.
Simple sounds nice.
What?
Oh, nothing. Just something I never thought I'd hear you say.
With you, it was always Paris this and New York that.
Everything was always so grandiose.
Nothing seemed simple.
Yeah, that sounds like me.
So what's going on with you and dating?
I heard you and Linda were a thing.
Well, we could chalk that up to a temporary lapse in judgment.
But she's so charming.
I know, I know.
Yeah, I've had a few girlfriends here and there.
Nothing that really stuck, you know?
I don't know. I guess, just not ready to settle.
Figure the right one will come along eventually.
What about you? You seeing anyone?
No.
I guess you could say I'm married to my career.
There's the Taylor I know.
I miss this.
Yeah, I remember we used to come out here for hours on end.
Just two kids dreaming about the future.
It looks like all your dreams came true.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
But I thought you said they're moving your show to primetime.
They are.
I just haven't accepted their offer to host it yet.
What's stopping you?
All I wanted to do was be a great chef
and teach people how to make amazing food.
But on QED, all I do is make dips and finger foods.
So why don't you change it
and offer the audience something different?
Believe me, I would love to.
But changing the format of a successful show
is harder than you think, even if you are the host.
Well, then maybe it's just not right for you.
Maybe. Or maybe I'm just being too picky.
No.
I don't think you're being picky at all.
What are you doing?
You're more than welcome to join.
In my clothes? I don't have a bathing suit.
What? Are you afraid to get your little fancy clothes wet?
Come on! It's gonna feel great!
Come in.
You need anything before we turn in for the night?
No, I'm good. Thank you.
You know, it was really good
to see you two cooking together again.
Goodnight, sweetheart.
Night, Mom.
And done.
We really appreciate you helping us out like this.
Of course.
You know, I'm a little surprised you or Glenn didn't ask sooner.
We know how busy you are.
We didn't want to be a bother, so...
Are you kidding?
You know, when my mom passed,
it was hard on all of us,
- especially my pops. - Yeah.
But you, Glenn, Grandma CC,
you guys always made it a point to make me feel like family.
And I will never forget that.
That's because you are.
Lunch is ready.
Finally.
Here we are.
What have we got?
We have a toasted crostini with chicken liver paté,
arugula, heirloom tomato, finished with a balsamic glaze.
Ooh.
- Hey. - Enjoy.
Mmm.
Interesting.
But?
I'm just not sure this
is the right dish for the competition.
So you're a chef now?
No, no, I'm probably wrong. Completely wrong, probably.
What do you think, Dad?
I kind of agree with Jacob.
Well, shoot.
Well, what if we go to the farm? Maybe I'll get an idea.
Well, I'm a little tired, so why don't you go on ahead
and your mother and I will lock up?
- I rode with you. - Well, I can drive you.
You sure?
Yeah, absolutely.
Whoa, this place has really changed.
Everything is organic or locally sourced.
It's almost impossible to find vegetables as fresh in the city.
Here, these just went in season.
Try one.
Mmm. I could use these somehow.
Well, if you want, we can have some freshly picked
and delivered to you tomorrow, if you like.
- Yeah, that'll be great. - Okay.
Hey Jacob.
Hey, Linda.
Taylor.
Hi, Linda.
It's funny seeing the two of you here.
How's it going?
You know me, just picking out some fresh produce
before the competition.
Oh, great.
And just so you know,
my dishes may not be quick or easy,
but they will be delicious.
Well, I guess we'll have to see.
True. We'll see you later, Jacob.
Bye.
Do you want a shake? My treat.
Yes.
- No, that's Bora and Brody. - Here you go.
Two blueberries.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Here you go.
Oh, but, sir, you didn't have to--
That's all right. Keep the change.
Thanks, Mr. D.
You're welcome.
Sir? Mr. D?
She's a formal girl.
Cheers.
This brings back such memories. Do you remember
you used to dip your fried chicken into ice cream?
Would you think I'm weird if I told you I still do?
Yeah.
I get it, though. It's like French fries and milkshakes.
Sweet and salty.
Yes, that is exactly what I've always been saying.
I'll give you this one.
All right, well, do you remember when you used to make
those pickle cheese sandwiches?
Yes, but those were actually good.
Said nobody ever.
Then why did you have me keep making them for you?
Well, it was a good excuse to keep you around.
Look at you being all cute right now.
What can I say? You, uh... You have that effect on me.
We should probably get going.
Yeah, of course.
Right now, oh, here they come. Here they come.
Jessica!
Let me take this for you, sweetie.
Oh, thanks, Mom.
- Hi! - Hello!
What are you doing here?
Well, I mean, all your talk of food competitions,
I felt like I was missing out.
Really?
No.
Your contract came back from the network,
and rather than send it to you and have you sit on it
for who knows how long,
I thought I'd deliver it to you in person.
Is it really that good?
Yes.
I should, uh, I should be going.
Oh, sorry, Jacob. This is my agent, Jessica.
Jessica, this is Jacob.
The Jacob?
That's me.
I've heard your name once or twice.
Good things, I hope.
- Mm-mm. - Eh...
It's really nice meeting you, Jessica.
Jacob.
Well, I guess I better get going then.
- Thanks for the ride. - Yeah.
And for today.
Yeah, it's no problem. See you later?
- Yes. - All right.
Okay. Bye.
"Thank you for the ride." Oh, he is cute!
- Do not even start! - Oh, my God...
"Thank you for today."
Okay.
Can I get you another slice?
No, thank you.
If I eat another bite, I'll explode.
This family tends to do that to people.
Seriously? Everything was absolutely incredible.
Jessica, Taylor told us all the good news about the show.
It's very exciting.
Right?
I mean, I still can't believe it myself.
Primetime at 8:00 pm.
Primetime? Honey, you didn't even mention that!
Nothing is definite till the contracts are signed.
Oh, shush. Congratulations! Sweetie, that's amazing!
My daughter on primetime.
Guys...
I think we should throw one of those watch parties.
Guys...
We're working out some of the logistics, but--
Guys!
I haven't said yes yet.
I'm really sorry. I assumed you told your parents.
- Rookie mistake. - It's okay.
I just wasn't gonna tell them until I made up my mind.
Well, have you?
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
QED was never supposed to be my entire career.
I want to be taken seriously.
I mean, can't get more serious than primetime.
The more fans you have, the more seriously you're taken.
As a personality or a chef?
As an icon.
Plus, they agreed to double what they were already offering.
- Double? - Yeah. I really played up
your concerns as being labeled a one-trick pony.
What about the food?
Still quick, easy and delicious.
I loved growing up here.
This place definitely has a charm to it.
I will give you that.
And this is the famous Sea Sea Riders.
Oh, where a young Taylor fell in love with cooking.
I can't even count the hours I spent in that kitchen
watching my dad and grandma create these amazing dishes.
Taylor! Ooh, stop, stop, stop.
- Taylor! - Hi!
- Hey. - Jordan!
Awwww!
What are you doing here?
Oh, we're just out on the town.
Well, sorry, Jordan, Tom, this is my agent, Jessica.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
My friend Jordan and his boyfriend Tom.
Hi. Nice meeting you. Valentinos?
- Stavali's. - Italian?
Dunedin. He's a local designer.
We went to high school together.
Speaking of Dunedin, how do you like it so far?
It's starting to grow on me.
How long are you gonna be in town?
Just for tonight.
Taylor and I have some things we have to work out for the show.
Well, you know my vote. Follow your heart.
But sometimes we have to follow our brain as well.
But remember what Grandma CC would always say,
"In a battle between the mind and the heart,
let the heart win."
Mm-hmm, but sometimes we have to let the brain win
because the heart isn't always right.
Well, I'm sure we all have things to do.
Yes. We're gonna go check out downtown Dunedin.
Great. Good luck.
- Bye, guys. - Bye, you guys.
Bye.
- Let's go see the kitchen. - Let's do that.
So, Jacob, I can tell he really likes you.
No, that's all in the past. We're just friends.
Sure, but,
you know I want nothing but the best for you, right?
Of course.
That being said, the network wants a decision by tomorrow.
Mind if I sleep on it?
I work for you.
- Night. - Night.
Hey, Dad.
Oh! Hey, you almost gave me a heart attack.
Sorry.
What are you making?
Well, a little midnight snack.
It's 9:30.
Well, it's a 9:30 midnight snack.
- You want half? - Sure.
Oooh!
That looks delicious.
It is. It is one of my best.
Ooh!
There we go.
- Aw. - Here you go, angel.
Thanks, Dad.
You okay?
I just don't know what to do.
I have this amazing offer staring me in the face.
And for some reason, it just doesn't feel right.
Well, I'm gonna tell you something that your grandmother
told me just before I took over the restaurant.
She said, "If you're gonna do something,
"you gotta do it for the right reasons.
"Money comes and goes,
"but your love for food
"is what makes a great chef.
"Without that,
you're in the wrong business."
She said that?
She did.
I miss her all the time.
So do I.
She had this knack of putting smiles on people's faces
with the food she made.
She loved that restaurant.
And everybody that came in there and sat down,
they felt it.
I know you're going to make the right choice.
Goodnight, my Junebug.
Goodnight, Dad.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Oh. How are the scones?
They're delicious.
- Right? - Yes.
I wanted to talk to you a minute.
Sure.
So I made my decision.
And?
I decided to do the show.
Really?
You seem surprised.
I felt like you were leaning in the opposite direction.
Like you said, this is the opportunity of a lifetime.
I'd be crazy to pass it up.
That sounds like me. Always selling.
This is what needs to happen.
Your final answer?
Final answer.
Okay. I'll let the network know.
They're gonna want you to start right away.
Can you buy me a week or so?
Oh yeah. I can manage that.
Thank you.
All right.
I gotta get back to Atlanta. I have a lot of work to do.
Quick, easy. Unoriginal.
- Hey. - Hey.
Here we go.
Oh, thank you.
Mm.
Where's your pops?
He's at a doctor's appointment.
Okay. Ooh, mind if I try?
Please.
Let's see...
Mmm. Mmm. This is good.
This is basic.
Basically delicious.
Sorry. That was a little corny.
Get it? Cornbread.
None of this is gonna win the contest.
- Nothing here is original. - All right.
I think you're putting way too much stress on yourself.
Maybe that's all I'm good at.
Quick and easy.
Okay.
I think you need to take a break.
I would love to actually take a break, but I can't.
- The competition is-- - Tomorrow. I know.
But sitting in here all day cooking dish after basic dish
isn't gonna do anybody any good.
Ow.
You know what you need?
A little inspiration.
- What's this? - Just trust me.
Big Mike, four barbacoas, please.
All made from scratch.
How'd you find this place?
Well, they get all their produce from the farm.
And get all their meats from Alan, all local.
Huh.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that's amazing.
I promise. You haven't had barbacoa like this.
I'm not saying you should make this exact thing, but...
Oh, thank you. Wow.
Here, I'll take that.
- Oh, thanks. - Sit over there.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
- That was amazing. - Right?
This recipe has been in his family for generations.
I've never had barbacoa this good.
For what it's worth, I think maybe one of the reasons
you're having such a hard time right now
is that what you're making
isn't yours.
And maybe what's missing is
a piece of you.
You know, we broke up.
I didn't know what to do with myself.
I was broken hearted. The only thing I had was work.
So I guess in a way, I owe part of my career to you.
You're welcome?
I took the job.
- But I thought-- - I couldn't turn down the money.
But you said you weren't happy.
Being happy won't help my parents reopen the restaurant.
No, I, I guess it won't.
I'm sorry. I just-- I wanted you to know.
Yeah. You don't have to apologize.
You're putting your family first.
It's a good thing.
Thank you for understanding.
Yeah, of course.
Come on.
Taylor, I have no doubt that whatever you make,
it's going to be amazing.
Hopefully, we'll see.
Hey, all else fails, go with fried chicken and ice cream.
Jacob, you're a genius.
What did I say?
I think I know what I'm gonna make.
Better get to it, then.
So I'll see you tomorrow?
You know it.
Hey, Patty.
You mind just doing me a favor? I just need a phone number.
Why can't we just use the stuff that's already cut up?
Because we want it to be fresh.
- Why? - Because the food we make
is only as good as the ingredients we use to make it.
Here. What's it taste like?
Parsley.
Well, duh. We know it's parsley, silly.
What's it taste like? Describe it.
- Pepper. - Good. What else?
- Dirt. - Right.
But when something tastes like dirt, we call it earthy.
Why?
I don't know. Sounds better.
Young beauty.
Is everything okay?
I saw Jacob's car pulling away.
Yeah, he just came to drop off some blueberries.
How'd the appointment go?
Eh, it went well, I mean, you know, the doctor says I'm,
I'm healing nicely.
- Well, that's good news. - Yeah.
So you up for some cooking?
Oh, ma'am, I thought you'd never ask me.
Like the old days, huh?
I know, right?
Creator of the classic chicken dipped in ice cream,
and it's on every menu of every restaurant.
Oh, come on. Wouldn't that be amazing?
Like a hamburger.
I got the lemons.
All right. Hold on, okay.
- Yeah. Maybe fold it. - Here.

So you're telling me that Jacob talking about dipping his
fried chicken into the ice cream is how you came up
with all of this?
Yes, some pretty unexpected ingredients, huh?
Sure is.
Yeah, well, I'm just excited about the desserts.
You're always excited about the desserts.
Yeah, well, as long as it's not baked Alaskan flambé.
I almost died that day.
Hope they don't mind a little unfinished painting.
Well, they're not here to judge us on that.
They're here for the food.
How's our chef?
Oh, I'm a little nervous, but I'll um, I'll manage.
Not you, silly.
They're ready for dessert.
- Ooh. - Right, okay.
Okay. There ya go. Do you know who's here?
No, who?
Chef Coe. The one who beat Bobby Flay?
- Mm-hmm. - Corner!
Oh, thanks, Mom.
Okay.
- Let's go. - Chef Coe.
We have a vanilla and blueberry ice cream-filled donut sandwich
with blueberry marble glaze. Enjoy.
The bacon is a nice touch.
Thank you, Chef Coe.
We ready?
- I think so. - Okay.
Best of luck. Thank you.
Oh!
Oh, boy. It's out of our hands now.
But, honey, we are so proud of you.
Oh, it was a team effort.
Let's clean up and enjoy the festival.
Yes, I will get the plates.
Yeah, the last plate there, he didn't eat very much.
Can I have that last one?
I have a whole one for you in the back.
Oh, you're my idol.
- We'll be in the kitchen. - Aw, thank you.
Talk on the street is Sea Sea Riders
kicked some booty!
What are you doing here?
You think that I would let my best friend
make it through an entire cooking competition
without showing a little love?
How'd it go?
Good, I think.
You think?
Girl, I know your food.
If those judges weren't blown away by whatever it is you made,
they probably shouldn't be judges.
You're ridiculous.
How did it go with the network?
Let's talk about that later.
Let me help you with these.
Thank you.
So where's Jacob?
Oh, well, he said he had some things to take care of
at the farm. Why?
- Just wondering. - Oh.
So back here, have you seen the...
I can't remember.
No, it's fine.
I mean, no, Jessica, I am still not used to golf carts
all these years later. You think I would--
I love them.
They keep getting more and more fancy.
I mean, look at this.
Guys, you need this golf cart.
They do this every year?
Yeah, it's grown so much.
I still can't believe we pulled everything together in time.
I've never had a doubt in my mind.
Same.
If anyone can pull off a food competition, it's this girl.
That's how the network found her after all.
Speaking of the network, before we go in,
there's something I want to talk to you guys about.
What is it, sweetie?
I've decided to take the show.
QED?
Mm-hmm, and with the money I'll be making,
I want to help the restaurant get back on its feet
and open its doors.
- Junebug-- - Guys, listen. Hear me out.
I think with a little TLC and a few small tweaks to the menu,
I think the restaurant could thrive again.
It's sweet of you, but money really isn't the problem.
What do you mean?
After 35 years, your father and I are ready to retire.
Maybe travel the world a little.
I was hoping that cooking together in the competition
might change your minds.
Sweetie, I never had so much fun in the kitchen
since the days of Grandma CC.
I mean, you reminded me of all the reasons why I,
why I fell in love with cooking.
But we too have to move on.
Just because we're starting a new chapter in our lives
doesn't mean the restaurant needs to leave the family.
Are you offering me the restaurant?
If you want it.
I don't have the money to reopen the restaurant on my own.
Maybe I can help you with that.
Jess, you're my best friend. I can't accept a loan from you.
Oh, no, no, it wouldn't be a loan.
It would be a capital contribution as part owner,
if you're open to it.
You mean like partners?
Your talents are limitless. With the right team behind you,
I mean, there may even be a few stars in your future,
if you know what I mean.
What about the show?
Yeah, I, I didn't send the contract in.
What?
I-I-- Something just felt off,
so I decided I would sit on it for a couple of days.
And then I got the call from Jacob and...
here we are.
Jacob called you?
They're about ready to announce the winners of the competition.
Come on, let's go.
Hello, Dunedin!
Welcome one and all!
We now move to the grand finale
and the final event of the Food and Wine Festival,
where the winner will be crowned
Dunedin's Best Restaurant of the Year.
And awarded the Golden Spatula for culinary excellence.
Now I need to know
who's ready to find out who won.
I have to admit, I have to admit the competition was fierce
this year, ladies and gentlemen.
And some very difficult decisions had to be made.
But the results are in,
and I hold in my hand
the three finalists.
And in third place,
with their barbecue entree and apple pie dessert,
we have Papi O'Brien's!
And now the moment we have all been waiting for.
Between the Wild Irish Cafe and Sea Sea Riders.
The winner of this year's Food and Wine Festival Cook-Off is...
Sea Sea Riders
with their blueberry chicken and waffle entree
and ice cream-stuffed blueberry donut dessert!
In tradition, will the owner of Sea Sea Riders
come on up on stage?
It's yours if you want it.
You deserve it. Get up there.
And to present the award to our winner this year,
Jacob Dylan, owner of Harbor Farms.
Oh yeah.
Thank you.
Good food and good traditions have been the bedrock of Dunedin
long since before I was born.
That's what this represents.
On behalf of Harbor Farms and the great town of Dunedin,
it is my pleasure to give this Golden Spatula Award
to Sea Sea Riders.
Sea Sea!
Oh, thank you. You know, I spent my entire childhood
wondering what life would be like outside small town Dunedin.
I have lived in big cities, worked at fancy restaurants,
but none of it's made me as happy as this past week,
creating new dishes, connecting with old friends,
and spending time with my amazing mom and dad,
Patty and Glenn Rider.
Thank you for reminding me what really matters.
This one's for you guys.
Thank you, everyone.
Thought I'd find you here.
Mind if I join?
Of course.
Are you really taking over the restaurant?
I am.
What made you change your mind about the show?
Well, when my parents offered me the restaurant,
I just followed my heart.
You know what Grandma CC would say if she were here right now?
- Grandma CC always knows best. - Grandma CC always knows best.
You know, it's a good thing
Jessica didn't turn in those contracts.
Bold move, sir.
Hey, the contract idea was all Jessica.
I just called for some friendly advice.
This restaurant's gonna take a lot of work.
And since when have you ever been afraid of hard work?
Hey, why didn't you tell me about the farm?
I don't know, I just figured
you had so many assumptions about me,
I'd just let you run with them.
I did have a lot of assumptions about you.
I'm sorry.
It's okay,
I forgive you this time.
I am so glad that you're staying.
I am too.
I'm crazy about you, Jacob Dylan.
And I am so crazy about you, too.
- Okay, here we are. - Okay.
We have two featured items for our soft opening.
Pan-seared grouper and fire-roasted pork.
Everything else you see on those plates
is from this handsome guy's farm.
- Wow. Crazy. - Okay.
- Dig in. - This is amazing.
Oh, you're gonna love this.
I cannot make their faces...
I'm no food critic,
but this is da bomb.
Please never use that phrase again.
But I do agree.
- You like it? - Yeah.
It is great.
It does. It looks fantastic, babe.
Aw.
I want to thank you so much for your support--
That's what I'm saying, Mr. Thompson.
You kn-- hold on a second.
Smile.
No, I'm sorry. I was sending you a pic.
Yeah--No, where were we?
Right, that's fine, as long as the contracts arrive this week.
Payment up front.
Perfect.
Yes. All right. I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
Ma|am the deed is done.
Two episodes a week shot right here.
This show is going to be a hit.
And at the center of it all will be the two of you.
I'm so proud of you, babe.
Now, that's my kind of show.
