695
00:32:03,059 --> 00:32:05,199
Huh, I guess I learned that
the hard way.
696
00:32:05,993 --> 00:32:09,444
- Well, maybe people need to be
a little more open to change.
697
00:32:09,755 --> 00:32:11,446
Yeah, I agree.
698
00:32:12,068 --> 00:32:13,414
You hungry?
699
00:32:13,897 --> 00:32:15,761
- Always.
- Come on.
700
00:32:16,762 --> 00:32:17,936
I love this place.
701
00:32:18,074 --> 00:32:19,834
You have to get
the fully loaded dog.
702
00:32:19,972 --> 00:32:22,561
- There's nothin' better
than a Chicago dog with all the fixings.
703
00:32:22,699 --> 00:32:23,838
Can we get two?
704
00:32:25,874 --> 00:32:26,945
Thank you.
705
00:32:27,083 --> 00:32:28,912
You can keep the change.
706
00:32:30,155 --> 00:32:31,915
Thanks.
707
00:32:35,815 --> 00:32:37,403
Lemme know what you think.
708
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:42,961
Mm!
709
00:32:43,099 --> 00:32:43,927
Good?
710
00:32:44,065 --> 00:32:45,135
So good.
711
00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:48,345
- See. I get why that critic
was so hard on me.
712
00:32:48,483 --> 00:32:50,692
I mean, I'm not
the only Puerto Rican joint in town.
713
00:32:51,141 --> 00:32:54,489
You know, Chicago
is one of the best Puerto Rican food hubs in the country.
714
00:32:55,007 --> 00:32:56,319
That's why I came back.
715
00:32:56,940 --> 00:32:59,632
- Not only that, Chicago's one
of the best cities in the world.
716
00:32:59,770 --> 00:33:01,634
I mean, the food scene
here has always been competitive.
717
00:33:01,772 --> 00:33:04,016
- Well, have you ever
been to San Juan?
718
00:33:04,154 --> 00:33:05,569
I can't say that I have.
719
00:33:05,707 --> 00:33:07,295
- So then, the jury
still has to be out.
720
00:33:07,433 --> 00:33:09,988
[Chuckles]
But, I mean, you're right,
721
00:33:10,471 --> 00:33:12,645
you know, the food competition
here is fierce.
722
00:33:12,783 --> 00:33:14,406
And if I wanna be the best chef
out there,
723
00:33:14,544 --> 00:33:16,822
I have to be judged accordingly.
It's only fair.
724
00:33:17,650 --> 00:33:20,550
- Well, maybe you should've
been judged on the whole picture.
725
00:33:20,964 --> 00:33:23,518
- Yeah, but jibaritos are what
Chicagoans know.
726
00:33:23,656 --> 00:33:25,900
It makes sense
to be just judged on that.
727
00:33:27,384 --> 00:33:29,317
- Well, I think if you keep
cookin' from the heart,
728
00:33:29,455 --> 00:33:31,147
people can't help
but fall in love.
729
00:33:31,492 --> 00:33:33,494
- I guess we'll just
have to wait and see.
730
00:33:33,632 --> 00:33:35,772
[Chuckles]
We've got one more stop after this.
731
00:33:36,393 --> 00:33:38,844
- Thank you very much,
and here's your change.
732
00:33:38,982 --> 00:33:40,639
Have a good one!
733
00:33:41,847 --> 00:33:43,159
Hey, you!
734
00:33:43,297 --> 00:33:45,161
- Hey, Sophia.
Uh, this is Alison.
735
00:33:45,299 --> 00:33:47,335
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Hey, Sophia.
736
00:33:47,473 --> 00:33:49,337
- Oh, you make me
miss the kitchen.
737
00:33:49,475 --> 00:33:51,615
- Well, I guess
the kitchen misses you.
738
00:33:51,753 --> 00:33:54,584
[Chuckles]
But the stand, it looks amazing.
739
00:33:54,722 --> 00:33:56,551
- And we just added
two more farmers.
740
00:33:56,689 --> 00:33:58,622
So, what are you
making today?
741
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,280
- I was thinking about opening
with a beautiful pineapple salad for the sofrito.
742
00:34:01,418 --> 00:34:03,696
- Oh, well then,
you've come to the right place.
743
00:34:04,111 --> 00:34:06,527
- You mind if I taste a few?
- Go for it.
744
00:34:07,355 --> 00:34:09,219
Everything smells amazing.
745
00:34:09,357 --> 00:34:11,601
- Thank you.
- What's your favourite?
746
00:34:11,980 --> 00:34:13,844
I would go with the mint.
747
00:34:13,982 --> 00:34:15,329
It looks so good.
748
00:34:15,467 --> 00:34:17,434
- Now what would you recommend
for a pineapple salad?
749
00:34:17,572 --> 00:34:19,195
Why don't you ask your friend?
750
00:34:19,333 --> 00:34:21,266
- [Chuckles]
- My sous chef?
751
00:34:21,404 --> 00:34:24,027
- Well, it's nice to have
another woman in the role.
752
00:34:24,510 --> 00:34:26,064
Watch out for John
when he has a knife.
753
00:34:26,202 --> 00:34:27,375
Noted.
754
00:34:27,513 --> 00:34:28,894
- Well, hopefully she's not
the last,
755
00:34:29,032 --> 00:34:31,138
but all you women leave me
for your own endeavours.
756
00:34:31,276 --> 00:34:32,725
- Well, you're just too good
at your job,
757
00:34:32,863 --> 00:34:34,934
and in return,
that makes us even better.
758
00:34:35,694 --> 00:34:37,316
- I'm not planning
on going anywhere.
759
00:34:37,454 --> 00:34:39,146
Okay. So, which one?
760
00:34:39,284 --> 00:34:42,080
We got the mint, basil,
and the parsley.
761
00:34:42,873 --> 00:34:45,876
- Well, the mint feels
too obvious with pineapple.
762
00:34:46,014 --> 00:34:47,257
I've had that combo before.
763
00:34:47,395 --> 00:34:48,776
Yeah, me too.
764
00:34:49,604 --> 00:34:51,365
Let's try the parsley.
765
00:34:53,194 --> 00:34:54,644
- The parsley is great.
- Mm-hmm.
766
00:34:54,782 --> 00:34:56,473
I don't think that will work.
767
00:34:56,611 --> 00:34:57,785
Okay.
768
00:35:03,549 --> 00:35:06,242
- Now, that basil
is particularly good.
769
00:35:06,621 --> 00:35:09,279
I mean, the notes
are just right, it's not overwhelming.
770
00:35:09,417 --> 00:35:11,592
- Is that a pepper finish?
- Yes, it is!
771
00:35:11,730 --> 00:35:13,594
That's exactly
what I was going for.
772
00:35:13,732 --> 00:35:15,285
I actually grew this one myself.
773
00:35:15,423 --> 00:35:16,321
Well done.
774
00:35:16,459 --> 00:35:18,323
Well, great.
775
00:35:18,461 --> 00:35:20,359
Basil it is, then.
776
00:35:20,497 --> 00:35:23,397
We'll take that one.
Yeah. Thanks, Sophia.
777
00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:29,092
[Light music]
778
00:35:31,508 --> 00:35:33,200
Looks like
you're enjoying yourself.
779
00:35:33,338 --> 00:35:34,511
- Yeah. Everything here
looks so good.
780
00:35:34,649 --> 00:35:36,375
Especially the herbs
are so fresh.
781
00:35:36,513 --> 00:35:37,928
- I know. Let's check
out the parsley, here.
782
00:35:38,066 --> 00:35:39,413
- How does it smell?
- Oh.
783
00:35:39,551 --> 00:35:41,311
- Sorry!
- No, I'm sorry. Yeah, you can go, it's fine.
784
00:35:41,449 --> 00:35:43,002
Oh, that's really nice.
785
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:44,970
- Yeah.
- That'd be so good with some flank steak.
786
00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:47,179
- Yeah, I think I'll ask
Jeff for a few of these.
787
00:35:47,317 --> 00:35:48,629
- Yeah.
- How're the onions?
788
00:35:48,767 --> 00:35:50,355
I think there's some better
ones over there.
789
00:35:50,493 --> 00:35:52,598
- Wanna follow me here?
- Yeah.
790
00:35:54,186 --> 00:35:55,808
[♪♪♪]
791
00:35:55,946 --> 00:35:58,121
[Birds chirping]
792
00:36:06,612 --> 00:36:08,476
All right, moment of truth.
793
00:36:08,614 --> 00:36:09,822
[Cutting board thumps]
794
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,549
[Knife clangs]
Show me whatcha got.
795
00:36:14,827 --> 00:36:16,139
[Sighs]
796
00:36:18,797 --> 00:36:20,730
Oh! Oh!
797
00:36:24,699 --> 00:36:26,253
- What was that last spot
you said you worked?
798
00:36:26,391 --> 00:36:27,702
Um...
799
00:36:29,566 --> 00:36:30,809
This is my first spot.
800
00:36:30,947 --> 00:36:32,017
[Annoyed chuckle]
801
00:36:32,466 --> 00:36:34,330
- You gotta be kidding me.
- I'm a fast learner.
802
00:36:34,468 --> 00:36:35,917
Sweetly Salted was right.
803
00:36:36,055 --> 00:36:38,679
I mean, this place is gonna sink
if we can't master the basics.
804
00:36:39,404 --> 00:36:42,200
How can we master the basics
with a sous chef who can't even dice?
805
00:36:42,338 --> 00:36:44,788
- Look... why don't
you demonstrate?
806
00:36:44,926 --> 00:36:46,997
- You came in here claiming
that you were a sous chef.
807
00:36:47,135 --> 00:36:48,758
I'm not here to teach beginners.
808
00:36:49,414 --> 00:36:50,553
That's fair.
809
00:36:50,691 --> 00:36:52,348
Why don't you hire
one of the sous chefs
810
00:36:52,486 --> 00:36:54,660
that's lined up
outside your door?
811
00:36:56,421 --> 00:36:57,801
All right, look.
812
00:36:57,939 --> 00:37:00,287
First off,
your non-dominant hand,
813
00:37:00,425 --> 00:37:03,393
tuck in your fingers.
No one's bleeding out in my kitchen.
814
00:37:04,394 --> 00:37:05,809
Does that happen a lot?
815
00:37:05,947 --> 00:37:09,399
- Not here, but kitchens
injuries happen all the time.
816
00:37:09,537 --> 00:37:12,195
Which is why I can't believe
I let you in here.
817
00:37:13,265 --> 00:37:14,853
Either can I.
818
00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:17,407
I'm committed to this.
819
00:37:17,925 --> 00:37:20,548
- Your non-dominant hand
controls the size of the slice.
820
00:37:20,686 --> 00:37:23,033
All right, you move faster
for thin slices.
821
00:37:23,171 --> 00:37:25,450
Slower for thick slices.
822
00:37:26,692 --> 00:37:28,660
Now, your knife hand,
823
00:37:28,798 --> 00:37:30,938
you move it continuously
in the same direction.
824
00:37:31,076 --> 00:37:32,422
Okay.
825
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,631
It's all in the wrist.
826
00:37:35,460 --> 00:37:37,393
As long as the blade is sharp,
you're good.
827
00:37:37,531 --> 00:37:38,946
- Wanna try?
- Yeah.
828
00:37:39,084 --> 00:37:40,534
Okay.
829
00:37:42,743 --> 00:37:44,848
- Um...
- You can't show the kitchen fear.
830
00:37:44,986 --> 00:37:47,782
Just... just follow
your instincts. Here.
831
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,646
[Soft music]
832
00:37:50,302 --> 00:37:53,340
Okay, yeah. Now, it's musical.
833
00:37:53,478 --> 00:37:55,169
You gotta find the beat.
834
00:37:55,549 --> 00:37:56,722
All right.
835
00:37:56,860 --> 00:37:58,828
Okay now, keep going,
let's see if you got it.
836
00:38:00,416 --> 00:38:02,107
Now turn it over.
837
00:38:02,245 --> 00:38:04,074
- Yeah.
- There you go.
838
00:38:05,041 --> 00:38:06,284
Is it like...
839
00:38:06,422 --> 00:38:07,975
- Okay, yeah, slow.
- Right.
840
00:38:08,113 --> 00:38:10,357
- Slowly yeah, just so you can
get through that.
841
00:38:10,495 --> 00:38:12,911
Down. Just like that.
842
00:38:13,049 --> 00:38:14,602
Here, like that.
843
00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:16,190
Who's the mal carne?
844
00:38:16,328 --> 00:38:17,433
Oof.
845
00:38:17,571 --> 00:38:19,089
Who you calling mal carne?
846
00:38:19,227 --> 00:38:21,022
Every newbie gets that title.
847
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,645
It's just kitchen speak.
848
00:38:22,783 --> 00:38:24,647
- May I remind you that we're
all indeed still gentlemen?
849
00:38:24,785 --> 00:38:27,339
- And ladies.
- And... and ladies.
850
00:38:27,477 --> 00:38:29,341
- Personally, only reason
I work for you
851
00:38:29,479 --> 00:38:31,032
is 'cause
I just love to be myself.
852
00:38:31,170 --> 00:38:32,689
- Okay.
- Charming.
853
00:38:32,827 --> 00:38:34,898
- All right, let's change it up
for a few moments, shall we?
854
00:38:35,036 --> 00:38:36,693
- Yes, chef.
What's the plan for tonight?
855
00:38:36,831 --> 00:38:39,282
- The plan is sofrito.
We got a lot of tomatoes to be diced.
856
00:38:39,420 --> 00:38:40,973
Gimme the knife.
857
00:38:42,423 --> 00:38:43,459
You have to go now.
858
00:38:43,597 --> 00:38:45,012
What do you mean?
859
00:38:45,357 --> 00:38:46,876
Chef's still hard as nails.
860
00:38:47,014 --> 00:38:48,395
[Chuckles]
861
00:38:48,533 --> 00:38:49,706
- I'm sorry,
is this your kitchen?
862
00:38:49,844 --> 00:38:52,226
- Experience beats wit,
and I promise you,
863
00:38:52,364 --> 00:38:53,710
we've got both.
864
00:38:53,848 --> 00:38:55,643
- Look, there's a place
for everyone in the kitchen,
865
00:38:55,781 --> 00:38:57,093
but not if you're not ready.
866
00:38:57,231 --> 00:38:59,578
- Well, I came here to learn,

00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,035
Ugh, I can't believe I forgot.
1040
00:47:47,071 --> 00:47:48,866
- You've just never missed it.
Ever.
1041
00:47:49,004 --> 00:47:51,558
I wanted to make sure
you're still alive over there.
1042
00:47:51,696 --> 00:47:55,907
- I know. It's just between
the kitchen and the book,

to make it?

It's not as much fun without
having someone cheer you on.
1047

...totally beat.
1049
00:48:09,576 --> 00:48:12,855
- Okay.
Uh, when are you free next?
1050
00:48:13,338 --> 00:48:15,616
Friday... morning... early.
1051
00:48:15,996 --> 00:48:18,205

- Okay.

- Yeah, buddy!
1055
00:48:22,761 --> 00:48:24,039
Now I feel extra bad.
1056
00:48:24,177 --> 00:48:25,592
I messed up.
1057
00:48:26,075 --> 00:48:27,974
At least you're making
new friends.
1058

when props are due.

And I forgive you,
1060
00:48:32,357 --> 00:48:34,256
since you admit
that you're wrong. [Laughs]
1061
00:48:34,394 --> 00:48:35,947
- I'll bring the snacks
to the field.
1062
00:48:36,085 --> 00:48:37,949
- It's the least
that you could do.
1063
00:48:38,087 --> 00:48:40,538
- Hey, what's
the office hot gossip?
1064
00:48:41,194 --> 00:48:43,575
- Honestly,
that it sucks without you.
1065
00:48:43,713 --> 00:48:45,336
- There's gotta be
more than that.
1066
00:48:45,474 --> 00:48:49,029

snacks anymore.

when you're stopping by.

Oh, Bob!
1070
00:49:00,592 --> 00:49:02,732
All right, well, I'll see you
on Friday.
1071
00:49:02,870 --> 00:49:04,113
Bright and early.
1072

those home runs, baby.

right now, but...

get us there.

1079
00:49:19,163 --> 00:49:20,681
I mean, after what I did.
1080
00:49:20,819 --> 00:49:23,443
- As long as you are keeping
track of your own runs.

- "Definition of love

Know what?
1093
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:09,075
- That we love 'em.

I didn't see these
on the inventory list.
1102

Blame the supply chain crisis.
1103
00:50:24,538 --> 00:50:26,161
- We ordered these
for the opening
1104
00:50:26,299 --> 00:50:27,817
but they never
came in time.
1105
00:50:28,542 --> 00:50:31,166
- So, plantain buns were
the plan the whole time?
1106
00:50:31,580 --> 00:50:34,031
- Of course! I mean,
that's how a jibarito is served.
1107
00:50:34,169 --> 00:50:35,860
Yeah. Learned the hard way.
1108
00:50:35,998 --> 00:50:38,345
Never depend on essential
ingredients to show up when you need 'em.
1109

- That's chef's life.
Always be prepared to improvise.
1110
00:50:41,210 --> 00:50:44,179
- How're we gonna improvise
our way outta 200 plantains?
1111
00:50:44,662 --> 00:50:46,733
- Well, people
will still want jibaritos.
1112

test it out, see if it's ready to be put back on the menu.

I failed him twice. - What do you mean?
1119
00:51:12,241 --> 00:51:14,623
- I should've been able
to find plantains somewhere in the city,
1120
00:51:14,761 --> 00:51:16,211
or at least gotten
them here quicker.
1121
00:51:16,349 --> 00:51:17,971
- I think he knows
how hard you're trying.
1122
00:51:18,109 --> 00:51:20,560
- There really is no trying in
restaurant work. It's do or die.
1123
00:51:20,698 --> 00:51:22,700
- That's a little extreme,
don't you think?
1124

No, it's reality.

people never hold grudges.

to add cinnamon.

was in them. Cinnamon.

the only ones who did that.

mojitos on Sundays?

left to make waves.

the deadline was quite so tight.

I can! I... I will.

one more thing.

I know part of the pitch
was to keep you undercover,

we need clearance from Seb.

Oh.

a little release form.

I... owe you an apology.

But your column was just so...
I mean, look at this place!

have a reservation?

I think I got a place for ya.

- Would you like to hear
the specials
1768
01:25:08,379 --> 01:25:09,690

precede us?

what she wants.

with the jibaritos.

watering all day.

the jibarito so special?

I would have to kill you.

the Foster Fire,

so presumptuous as to cook one for the master, so...
