My perfect taste-tester,
just in time to tell me

29
00:01:53.156 --> 00:01:55.593
how tasty my taste in baking is.

30
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.814
-What is this?
-Red-velvet cheesecake pie.

31
00:01:58.901 --> 00:02:01.295
Red-velvet cheesecake?

32
00:02:01.382 --> 00:02:04.124
You don't make red velvet
or cheesecake.

33
00:02:04.211 --> 00:02:06.169
It's for my mom's new
bed-and-breakfast restaurant.

34
00:02:06.256 --> 00:02:08.345
I'm making the dessert menu
for her, remember?

35
00:02:08.389 --> 00:02:11.522
Right, but you don't make
red-velvet pie.

36
00:02:11.609 --> 00:02:14.786
You make pretty little pastries
like these over here.

37
00:02:14.873 --> 00:02:17.876
I used to make red-velvet pie
with my mom when I was a kid.

38
00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:21.358
You do realize how many calories
are in this slice of pie, yes?

39
00:02:21.445 --> 00:02:23.230
You do realize that there is pie

40
00:02:23.273 --> 00:02:24.709
sitting in front of you
right now, yes?

41
00:02:24.796 --> 00:02:26.320
Yes.

42
00:02:30.585 --> 00:02:33.022
What? What is that?

43
00:02:33.109 --> 00:02:37.026
It that a white custard
in the cream cheese?

44
00:02:37.069 --> 00:02:39.159
What on Earth
is this perfection?

45
00:02:39.246 --> 00:02:40.551
Oh. Really?

46
00:02:40.638 --> 00:02:42.162
I haven't made anything
like this in so long,

47
00:02:42.205 --> 00:02:43.337
I was worried I lost my touch.

48
00:02:43.424 --> 00:02:44.555
Why have you never put anything

49
00:02:44.642 --> 00:02:46.209
like this on one of our menus?

50
00:02:46.296 --> 00:02:47.819
Oh, please,
like anyone in Los Angeles

51
00:02:47.906 --> 00:02:49.473
wants to eat something
so decadent.

52
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.084
You mean you can't make
a non-holiday, gluten-free,

53
00:02:52.172 --> 00:02:55.131
dairy-free, low-fat,
Keto-Paleo variation?

54
00:02:55.218 --> 00:02:57.046
You would love that,
wouldn't you?

55
00:02:57.133 --> 00:03:00.354
I would, almost as much
as you're gonna love

56
00:03:00.397 --> 00:03:02.269
hearing who has a rez tonight.

57
00:03:02.356 --> 00:03:03.357
Who?

58
00:03:04.923 --> 00:03:07.274
-Tanner Rhodes.
-Are you serious?

59
00:03:07.361 --> 00:03:09.928
Look, I know
he's your sworn nemesis,

60
00:03:09.972 --> 00:03:13.715
but why don't you let him try
a slice of this little heaven?

61
00:03:13.802 --> 00:03:15.630
You just might change his mind
about your food.

62
00:03:15.717 --> 00:03:18.285
The only thing that I wanna
change Tanner Rhodes' mind about

63
00:03:18.372 --> 00:03:19.764
is his ill-conceived choice

64
00:03:19.808 --> 00:03:22.550
to step foot
into my restaurant tonight.

65
00:03:22.593 --> 00:03:24.160
Don't you mean my restaurant?

66
00:03:24.247 --> 00:03:25.857
Nina, don't make me take away

67
00:03:25.944 --> 00:03:27.076
your taste-testing privileges.

68
00:03:27.163 --> 00:03:30.166
Uh, no. Don't joke like that.

69
00:03:31.820 --> 00:03:34.257
Oh. It's so good.

70
00:04:03.808 --> 00:04:05.462
Thank you.

71
00:04:05.549 --> 00:04:08.465
Wow, it looks so lovely.

72
00:04:08.552 --> 00:04:10.337
Maybe to make up
for the food, no?

73
00:04:10.380 --> 00:04:13.296
Mm. Now, Pepper, we have not
even tried the holiday menu.

74
00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:15.342
Maybe we'll be impressed.

75
00:04:15.385 --> 00:04:18.170
You're always far too optimistic
about the food, Tanner.

76
00:04:18.258 --> 00:04:20.347
It's a good thing you can't
mince your words in a critique

77
00:04:20.434 --> 00:04:22.523
like you do with all
these pleasantries in person.

78
00:04:22.610 --> 00:04:24.438
Now, Pepper,
I don't pretend pleasantries.

79
00:04:24.525 --> 00:04:25.961
I'm a nice guy,
I just tell the truth

80
00:04:26.048 --> 00:04:27.484
about the food, that's all.

81
00:04:27.571 --> 00:04:29.181
And that is why
our restaurant reviews

82
00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:31.271
are the most hyped in LA.

83
00:04:34.012 --> 00:04:35.797
Nina, how are you?

84
00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:37.668
Good evening, Tanner. Pepper.

85
00:04:37.712 --> 00:04:39.279
-How are you two doing tonight?
-We're great.

86
00:04:39.322 --> 00:04:40.584
-Mm-hmm.
-So nice to see you.

87
00:04:40.671 --> 00:04:42.282
And the holiday decor in here,

88
00:04:42.369 --> 00:04:43.761
obsessed.

89
00:04:43.848 --> 00:04:45.197
Aww, thank you.

90
00:04:45.241 --> 00:04:47.069
Your server
will be with you shortly.

91
00:04:47.156 --> 00:04:48.505
Are we, um...

92
00:04:48.592 --> 00:04:50.681
Oh, no,
tonight we are off the record.

93
00:04:50.725 --> 00:04:53.684
We are here just to enjoy
the food, no critique.

94
00:04:53.771 --> 00:04:55.164
Oh, well, all right, then.

95
00:04:55.251 --> 00:04:56.687
Why don't I start you two off

96
00:04:56.774 --> 00:04:58.689
with a bottle of Merlot
on the house, anyway?

97
00:04:58.776 --> 00:05:00.778
I know that's your favorite
as I recall, Pepper?

98
00:05:00.865 --> 00:05:02.737
We would love that.
Thank you, Nina.

99
00:05:02.824 --> 00:05:04.869
-Sure.
-Hm?

100
00:05:04.956 --> 00:05:08.046
What? No holiday cuisine review?

101
00:05:08.090 --> 00:05:09.439
Oh, I've done my columns
for the week.

102
00:05:09.526 --> 00:05:11.441
Well, throw it in
for Monday column.

103
00:05:11.528 --> 00:05:13.182
Why wouldn't you review?

104
00:05:13.269 --> 00:05:15.576
Pepper, if I start eating a meal
with a review in mind,

105
00:05:15.663 --> 00:05:17.099
then I can't help myself.

106
00:05:17.186 --> 00:05:19.014
So tonight
I'm dining as a regular patron,

107
00:05:19.101 --> 00:05:20.320
not a critic.

108
00:05:20.407 --> 00:05:22.713
Whatever you say.

109
00:05:29.938 --> 00:05:31.156
Here you are. Enjoy.

110
00:05:31.243 --> 00:05:33.202
It looks lovely.
Thank you.

111
00:05:34.246 --> 00:05:35.900
All right.

112
00:05:35.987 --> 00:05:38.512
No review this time.

113
00:05:54.354 --> 00:05:55.877
I don't wanna hear
what you have to say.

114
00:05:55.964 --> 00:05:58.401
I don't care what he thinks
about my chicken.

115
00:05:58.445 --> 00:05:59.794
Unless he liked it.
Did he like it?

116
00:05:59.881 --> 00:06:01.273
I already told you
he said he's not here

117
00:06:01.361 --> 00:06:02.884
to review the restaurant.

118
00:06:02.971 --> 00:06:06.627
But he did smile big
at his first bite.

119
00:06:06.714 --> 00:06:09.891
-Smile big?
-Well, you know, he-he smiled.

120
00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:15.418
It's better than anything
he's given you before.

121
00:06:15.505 --> 00:06:17.812
Look, I don't need
Tanner Rhodes' validation. Okay?

122
00:06:17.855 --> 00:06:22.164
Our restaurant does not need
Tanner Rhodes' validation.

123
00:06:22.251 --> 00:06:23.557
Food critic Marla Kravitz said

124
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.168
the skin on my roast chicken
sings.

125
00:06:39.486 --> 00:06:41.401
Josie. How are you this evening?

126
00:06:41.488 --> 00:06:43.707
I'm great. Extremely well.
Running a four-star restaurant.

127
00:06:43.794 --> 00:06:46.841
-No big deal. How was dinner?
-The roasted chicken was lovely.

128
00:06:46.928 --> 00:06:48.973
Oh, good.
I'm so glad you liked it.

129
00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:51.236
Oh, and what is this?

130
00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:52.977
Special dessert.

131
00:06:53.021 --> 00:06:56.503
Is it a special dessert
or a dessert special?

132
00:06:56.590 --> 00:07:00.158
A special dessert.
It's not on our menu.

133
00:07:00.245 --> 00:07:04.380
It's meant for my mother's
new bistro up in Big Bear Lake.

134
00:07:04.467 --> 00:07:07.557
And is this a red-velvet pie?

135
00:07:07.644 --> 00:07:10.778
The best red-velvet
custard cheesecake pie

136
00:07:10.865 --> 00:07:12.040
you will ever have.

137
00:07:12.127 --> 00:07:13.302
Well, this doesn't look like

138
00:07:13.345 --> 00:07:15.347
a Josie Byrde Bakery dessert
to me.

139
00:07:15.391 --> 00:07:17.611
That's 'cause
it's old-school Josie.

140
00:07:17.698 --> 00:07:19.439
I think you're gonna wanna
use a normal fork.

141
00:07:19.526 --> 00:07:22.093
And it's vegan?

142
00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:24.226
Only in our dreams,
Ms. Fine.

143
00:07:26.097 --> 00:07:27.447
Shall we?

144
00:07:28.796 --> 00:07:32.669
Oh, wow. That's delicious.

145
00:07:32.756 --> 00:07:35.106
Thank you.
And it's, uh, on the house.

146
00:07:35.193 --> 00:07:36.804
Happy holidays.

147
00:07:46.509 --> 00:07:49.817
Josie,
uh, your red-velvet pie,

148
00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:50.992
it's not bad.

149
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:52.994
Not bad.

150
00:07:53.081 --> 00:07:54.865
Well, thank you.

151
00:07:54.909 --> 00:07:56.650
I'm so glad that
you got a chance to try my, uh,

152
00:07:56.693 --> 00:07:58.390
my baking again.

153
00:07:58.478 --> 00:08:00.392
Hope it wasn't
"More trite than taste," right?

154
00:08:00.436 --> 00:08:01.959
Your words, not mine.
Um, if you'll excuse me...

155
00:08:02.046 --> 00:08:04.701
I just have to, uh, go back
into the kitchen

156
00:08:04.788 --> 00:08:07.443
and, um, make our menu pastries.

157
00:08:07.530 --> 00:08:10.707
They're light and fluffy,
yet full of flavor,

158
00:08:10.794 --> 00:08:12.666
and low-calorie, so...

159
00:08:15.320 --> 00:08:17.627
Uh, Josie,
she's not still upset with me

160
00:08:17.714 --> 00:08:19.324
over that old review, is she?

161
00:08:19.411 --> 00:08:22.676
No, of course not.
Maybe a little.

162
00:08:32.903 --> 00:08:34.905
Ha! Hi!

163
00:08:34.992 --> 00:08:37.517
Oh. Hey, mom. How are you?

164
00:08:37.604 --> 00:08:40.694
Good, good.
Nolan and I are just setting up.

165
00:08:40.781 --> 00:08:43.697
Getting ready
for our esteemed guests.

166
00:08:43.784 --> 00:08:45.350
-Hey, Jos!
-Hi.

167
00:08:45.437 --> 00:08:47.091
Oh, that's wonderful.
Hey, Nolan.

168
00:08:47.178 --> 00:08:49.616
Actually that's why I'm calling.
I've got some really good news.

169
00:08:49.703 --> 00:08:50.834
-Yeah?
<i>Yup.</i>

170
00:08:50.921 --> 00:08:52.488
Guess who
our first guest of honor

171
00:08:52.575 --> 00:08:55.883
at the grand opening
of Byrde's B&B Bistro is.

172
00:08:55.926 --> 00:08:58.233
Marla Kravitz.

173
00:08:58.276 --> 00:09:01.802
Oh. Big-time food critic.

174
00:09:01.845 --> 00:09:05.762
<i>That's great.
-Uh, yeah, that's, that's great.</i>

175
00:09:05.806 --> 00:09:09.461
-But she's so-- Yeah. <i>
-Critical? Yeah. I guess.</i>

176
00:09:09.549 --> 00:09:12.203
But she loves comfort food, mom,
so I really think she's

177
00:09:12.290 --> 00:09:14.423
the best person that we could've
asked for for your menu.

178
00:09:14.510 --> 00:09:17.818
But it really makes me nervous.
But I'm ready, I'm ready.

179
00:09:17.905 --> 00:09:19.950
Bring it on, Marla Kravitz.

180
00:09:20.037 --> 00:09:22.823
Yes, that's the spirit,
because Marla Kravitz

181
00:09:22.910 --> 00:09:24.564
<i>is the icing
on this holiday fruitcake</i>

182
00:09:24.651 --> 00:09:28.393
because we also have
Iris Davenport.

183
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.308
-Uh, you're kidding. <i>
-Nope.</i>

184
00:09:30.395 --> 00:09:33.921
Apparently, she broke up with
that professional sports guy

185
00:09:34.008 --> 00:09:35.923
and she wanted to do
something fun for the holidays,

186
00:09:36.010 --> 00:09:39.100
so it was either Saint Bart's
or Byrde's B&B Bistro,

187
00:09:39.187 --> 00:09:40.971
and we won.

188
00:09:41.015 --> 00:09:42.930
That, that is incredible!

189
00:09:43.017 --> 00:09:45.846
Oh, my God, I, oh...
I'm so excited.

190
00:09:45.933 --> 00:09:49.023
The Iris Davenport,
I mean, I-I watch her show,

191
00:09:49.110 --> 00:09:50.111
like, every single day.

192
00:09:50.198 --> 00:09:51.547
-All the time.
-Yeah.

193
00:09:51.634 --> 00:09:53.331
I know, what if she falls
in love with us

194
00:09:53.375 --> 00:09:54.942
and asks you to go on her show?

195
00:09:55.029 --> 00:09:57.118
<i>From what I remember,
she's incredibly sweet</i>

196
00:09:57.205 --> 00:09:58.598
from when she used to come in
to the bakery.

197
00:09:58.685 --> 00:10:00.556
Uh, that is so wonderful.

198
00:10:00.643 --> 00:10:02.036
That's so great, Jos.

199
00:10:02.123 --> 00:10:04.386
I, uh, I can't wait to try
that legendary

200
00:10:04.473 --> 00:10:06.040
<i>tres leches Christmas cake.</i>

201
00:10:06.127 --> 00:10:08.346
Your mom says it's gonna be
our featured dessert.

202
00:10:08.390 --> 00:10:10.697
You know, it's my favorite thing
I've ever made.

203
00:10:10.784 --> 00:10:12.176
Um, so when are you
getting here?

204
00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:14.178
I think I can leave
Saturday morning.

205
00:10:14.265 --> 00:10:15.658
I just need to double-check
that my sous-chefs

206
00:10:15.702 --> 00:10:17.007
can survive without me.

207
00:10:17.094 --> 00:10:19.619
Okay. Great news.
Can't wait to see you.

208
00:10:19.706 --> 00:10:21.664
I'll see you soon.

209
00:10:31.892 --> 00:10:33.154
Hm.

210
00:11:27.338 --> 00:11:30.428
-There she is.
-Hey, Nolan.

211
00:11:30.515 --> 00:11:32.866
-Great to see you.
-You, too, of course.

212
00:11:32.909 --> 00:11:34.084
Glad to see you're still

213
00:11:34.171 --> 00:11:36.130
admiring my mother
as much as I do.

214
00:11:36.217 --> 00:11:38.741
Ah, of course. I can't imagine
myself anywhere else.

215
00:11:38.785 --> 00:11:40.569
Plus, she promoted me
to management.

216
00:11:40.612 --> 00:11:42.919
Oh, yeah? Congrats.

217
00:11:43.006 --> 00:11:44.094
Thank you. Here.

218
00:11:44.181 --> 00:11:45.269
-Let me take this.
-Thank you.

219
00:11:45.313 --> 00:11:46.401
Your mom is pulling out

220
00:11:46.488 --> 00:11:48.359
the decorations as we speak.

221
00:11:48.446 --> 00:11:51.711
-She waited, for me?
-Of course! Her only daughter?

222
00:11:53.669 --> 00:11:58.282
Oh! There she is.
Oh, my little girl.

223
00:11:58.326 --> 00:12:02.069
Successful entrepreneur
and celebrated chef.

224
00:12:02.156 --> 00:12:04.680
I learned from the best.
Mom, you smell like Christmas.

225
00:12:04.767 --> 00:12:05.812
-Do I?
-Yeah.

226
00:12:05.899 --> 00:12:07.248
Mm. I don't know. Come.

227
00:12:07.335 --> 00:12:10.294
-We decorate.

228
00:12:10.381 --> 00:12:13.558
Ah.
I'll just take this to the room.

229
00:12:17.171 --> 00:12:20.957
Aw,
dad's Mallard duck ornament.

230
00:12:21.044 --> 00:12:24.744
He sure loved that summer flock
of ducks on the lake, didn't he?

231
00:12:24.831 --> 00:12:26.093
I think they used to come back
every summer

232
00:12:26.180 --> 00:12:27.442
just for the food he gave them.

233
00:12:27.529 --> 00:12:30.227
Yeah.

234
00:12:30.314 --> 00:12:32.273
I sure miss his hugs.

235
00:12:34.362 --> 00:12:37.147
Yeah, well,
I'm sure wherever he is,

236
00:12:37.234 --> 00:12:39.584
he misses yours, too.

237
00:12:41.325 --> 00:12:44.764
Ah, so tell me everything new.

238
00:12:44.851 --> 00:12:47.027
-Are you seeing anybody?
-Everything new?

239
00:12:47.070 --> 00:12:48.593
Mom, you were at my house
for Friendsgiving in LA,

240
00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:50.030
like, a month ago.

241
00:12:50.117 --> 00:12:52.467
Well, you could've started
seeing someone

242
00:12:52.554 --> 00:12:54.556
between then and now.

243
00:12:54.643 --> 00:12:56.514
Well, I haven't.

244
00:12:56.558 --> 00:12:58.865
Not really sure when I'd have
the time to, to be honest.

245
00:12:58.908 --> 00:13:00.954
Six nights a week
I'm cooking romantic dinners

246
00:13:00.997 --> 00:13:02.303
for people on their date nights.

247
00:13:02.390 --> 00:13:04.131
Sweetie,
you really need to start

248
00:13:04.218 --> 00:13:06.786
making more time for yourself,
you know?

249
00:13:06.829 --> 00:13:08.875
Okay. I will.

250
00:13:08.962 --> 00:13:11.529
When my career is in
a more stable, better place.

251
00:13:11.616 --> 00:13:13.444
What are you talking about?

252
00:13:13.531 --> 00:13:16.796
You run a successful business,
you make great money,

253
00:13:16.883 --> 00:13:20.190
you're the head chef
at a great restaurant.

254
00:13:20.234 --> 00:13:21.583
How many expectations
are you gonna put

255
00:13:21.670 --> 00:13:23.193
on this career of yours?

256
00:13:23.237 --> 00:13:26.109
I don't know,
maybe I wanna have my own show

257
00:13:26.196 --> 00:13:28.111
or restaurant empire.

258
00:13:28.198 --> 00:13:30.505
You're one to talk.
You live where you work.

259
00:13:30.592 --> 00:13:32.942
I am not young
and looking for love.

260
00:13:33.029 --> 00:13:34.988
Who says I'm looking for love?

261
00:13:35.075 --> 00:13:37.860
Nolan's still single, you know?

262
00:13:37.947 --> 00:13:39.906
I'm just saying
it would be really romantic

263
00:13:39.949 --> 00:13:42.691
to get, you know,
high-school sweethearts

264
00:13:42.778 --> 00:13:44.214
back together on the lake.

265
00:13:44.301 --> 00:13:47.000
Mom, no. Not gonna happen.

266
00:13:47.087 --> 00:13:50.003
Hm. I gave him a promotion.

267
00:13:51.439 --> 00:13:54.268
Uh, okay, I'll stop.

268
00:13:56.357 --> 00:13:58.185
Hey, Shannon.

269
00:13:58.272 --> 00:14:00.752
The, uh, Adlers were asking
if we're still serving dinner.

270
00:14:00.796 --> 00:14:03.538
Oh, um, yeah,
let 'em know we're-we're making

271
00:14:03.625 --> 00:14:06.193
our annual, traditional
chicken and dumplings,

272
00:14:06.280 --> 00:14:07.542
uh, for the soup kitchen,

273
00:14:07.629 --> 00:14:08.891
but they can join us
if they'd like.

274
00:14:08.978 --> 00:14:10.937
Okay. I'll let 'em know.

275
00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:12.547
Hey, uh, Jos,
you, uh, missed a spot.

276
00:14:12.634 --> 00:14:15.506
-Ten o'clock.
-Thanks, Brolan.

277
00:14:15.593 --> 00:14:18.814
Still not okay.

278
00:14:21.861 --> 00:14:23.210
Stop.

279
00:14:28.606 --> 00:14:30.565
Oh. Ooh.

280
00:14:30.652 --> 00:14:33.394
Josie, your rosemary bread
is gonna pair so perfectly

281
00:14:33.437 --> 00:14:36.397
with these dumplings.
Here, you have to try this.

282
00:14:43.491 --> 00:14:46.668
Mm. Yum! You're using more thyme
than you ever have before.

283
00:14:46.755 --> 00:14:48.017
You noticed. Good catch.

284
00:14:48.104 --> 00:14:49.976
Someone's developing taste buds.

285
00:14:50.063 --> 00:14:53.936
Ah. Watch it. Don't forget who
taught you everything you know.

286
00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:56.634
You did not teach me how to make
this rosemary bread.

287
00:14:56.721 --> 00:14:57.897
<i>Touche.</i>

288
00:14:59.768 --> 00:15:02.466
Hey, you look nice.

289
00:15:02.510 --> 00:15:04.512
I am playing server and manager
this evening.

290
00:15:04.599 --> 00:15:05.992
-Ooh, what do we have here?
-Ah.

291
00:15:06.079 --> 00:15:07.907
Those are for those in need.

292
00:15:07.994 --> 00:15:10.300
Uh, Nolan, there are
two side salads in the fridge.

293
00:15:10.387 --> 00:15:11.606
Could you get those out, please?

294
00:15:11.649 --> 00:15:12.781
-Yeah. Sure.
-For the Adlers.

295
00:15:12.868 --> 00:15:14.478
You know,
with the real restaurant

296
00:15:14.565 --> 00:15:16.480
opening up this Christmas Eve

297
00:15:16.524 --> 00:15:18.656
and things start kicking up
the way they are,

298
00:15:18.743 --> 00:15:20.963
we could really use
some extra help around here.

299
00:15:21.050 --> 00:15:23.487
Yup, we're gonna have
to find mom a great sous-chef,

300
00:15:23.574 --> 00:15:26.229
and someone that I trust
with my desserts.

301
00:15:26.316 --> 00:15:27.578
Interested in the job?

302
00:15:27.665 --> 00:15:29.015
Well, if that means being

303
00:15:29.102 --> 00:15:31.626
in the kitchen with you more,
then sure.

304
00:15:34.977 --> 00:15:38.807
I really appreciated all your
help with the opening, Josie.

305
00:15:38.894 --> 00:15:40.156
Of course, mama,
anything for you.

306
00:15:40.243 --> 00:15:41.723
Hey, you know, I-I just,

307
00:15:41.810 --> 00:15:43.420
I just don't think
I would've had the courage

308
00:15:43.507 --> 00:15:45.466
to-to change the dining room
into a bistro

309
00:15:45.553 --> 00:15:47.990
if it weren't
for all your success.

310
00:15:48.077 --> 00:15:49.513
-I'm so proud of you.
-All right, fine.

311
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.472
I learned everything that I know
from you.

312
00:15:51.515 --> 00:15:52.647
Smart girl.

313
00:15:55.302 --> 00:15:56.781
-Hello.
-Thank you.

314
00:15:56.868 --> 00:15:58.740
-Merry Christmas.
-And to you.

315
00:16:00.263 --> 00:16:01.873
Look what Ms. Rose gave us
to bring home.

316
00:16:01.917 --> 00:16:05.225
Mm. Is that her famous
pickled cranberry relish?

317
00:16:05.268 --> 00:16:07.923
-Oh, I love it.
-It'll go great with my bread.

318
00:16:08.010 --> 00:16:09.707
Well, sorry to tell you,
sweetheart,

319
00:16:09.794 --> 00:16:12.928
but your rosemary bread
didn't survive the soup kitchen.

320
00:16:13.015 --> 00:16:15.017
That's all right. We can make
more when we get home.

321
00:16:15.104 --> 00:16:17.498
We have an endless supply
of herbs in the greenhouse.

322
00:16:17.585 --> 00:16:19.021
Yeah.

323
00:16:19.108 --> 00:16:21.023
Hi, Becky. Happy holidays.

324
00:16:21.067 --> 00:16:24.896
Oh, here. Take two.

325
00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:27.856
Well, the Christmas craze
has officially begun.

326
00:16:27.943 --> 00:16:31.033
-This is all we've got left.
-Uh, all right, mom.

327
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.253
I'm gonna go put this in the car
and then I'll help you pack up.

328
00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:34.776
Yeah. Perfect.

329
00:16:39.563 --> 00:16:41.391
-Need some help?
-Oh. Ah.

330
00:16:41.435 --> 00:16:44.003
-Oh.
-The relish.

331
00:16:44.090 --> 00:16:47.049
-Is that cranberry relish?
-It was.

332
00:16:47.093 --> 00:16:49.008
I am so sorry about your shirt.

333
00:16:49.095 --> 00:16:52.185
Tanner, what are you doing
in Big Bear Lake?

334
00:16:52.272 --> 00:16:54.230
Well, I came here to find out
what the secret ingredient was

335
00:16:54.274 --> 00:16:56.711
in your perfect whipped cream.
I-it's outstanding.

336
00:16:56.754 --> 00:16:58.495
Is that Tanner Rhodes?

337
00:16:58.582 --> 00:17:01.585
You must be Mrs. Byrde
of the famous new B&B Bistro.

338
00:17:01.672 --> 00:17:05.111
-Call me Shannon.
-I-I can see the resemblance.

339
00:17:05.154 --> 00:17:07.374
I'm sorry.
What is happening right now?

340
00:17:07.417 --> 00:17:09.680
Oh, well, Mr. Rhodes enquired

341
00:17:09.767 --> 00:17:12.422
if he could participate
in our grand opening review.

342
00:17:12.466 --> 00:17:13.554
-Mm-hmm.
-Which will be wonderful.

343
00:17:13.597 --> 00:17:14.555
I mean, it'll be like

344
00:17:14.598 --> 00:17:16.383
the trifecta of taste-testers.

345
00:17:16.426 --> 00:17:18.472
-Trifecta.
-Sorry. What...

346
00:17:18.515 --> 00:17:21.431
You're, so you're gonna be
reviewing my mother's bistro?

347
00:17:21.518 --> 00:17:22.563
Yeah.

348
00:17:22.650 --> 00:17:24.043
Which means you'll be reviewing

349
00:17:24.130 --> 00:17:25.044
my desserts.

350
00:17:25.131 --> 00:17:26.741
-Mm-hmm.
-Of course, dear.

351
00:17:26.828 --> 00:17:29.135
-Mm-hmm.
-And he'll love them.

352
00:17:29.222 --> 00:17:30.223
Yeah.

353
00:17:34.923 --> 00:17:37.882
[instrumental mu

354
00:17:46.195 --> 00:17:49.285
-What was that all about?
-Mom, you know.

355
00:17:49.329 --> 00:17:52.332
His last review practically
put my bakery out of business.

356
00:17:52.419 --> 00:17:56.379
Oh, honey, your exorbitant rent
put your bakery out of business.

357
00:17:56.466 --> 00:17:57.902
Your desserts were just fine.

358
00:17:57.989 --> 00:17:59.730
You never liked
my desserts there.

359
00:17:59.817 --> 00:18:01.428
That is not true.

360
00:18:01.515 --> 00:18:03.517
I, I thought
the menu was just fine.

361
00:18:03.604 --> 00:18:07.477
I just didn't think the,
the menu was very true to you.

362
00:18:07.521 --> 00:18:09.479
Wow. Okay.

363
00:18:09.523 --> 00:18:11.351
Well, all the same,

364
00:18:11.438 --> 00:18:12.961
obviously, I wouldn't have
wanted him here.

365
00:18:13.048 --> 00:18:17.052
-Why would you have invited him?
-I-I didn't invite him.

366
00:18:17.139 --> 00:18:18.923
Uh, Josie,
yesterday he emailed me

367
00:18:19.010 --> 00:18:21.012
and he asked
about our availability

368
00:18:21.100 --> 00:18:23.319
and then he booked
our last room.

369
00:18:23.363 --> 00:18:26.627
It, it was his decision to come,
not mine.

370
00:18:28.411 --> 00:18:29.543
Okay.

371
00:18:36.115 --> 00:18:37.812
I thought we decided
on candied bacon

372
00:18:37.855 --> 00:18:39.292
for the breakfast spread.

373
00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:41.729
I can combine it.
Coffee-glaze candied bacon.

374
00:18:41.816 --> 00:18:44.645
-No, that's too busy, mom.
-Not the way I'm gonna do it.

375
00:18:44.688 --> 00:18:47.387
-Ugh.
-Oh! The casserole.

376
00:18:49.693 --> 00:18:52.348
Got it?
Yeah. Ah.

377
00:18:52.435 --> 00:18:55.699
Well, something smells
ready to gobble-gobble.

378
00:18:55.743 --> 00:18:59.181
That is mom's orange-sage,
turkey-herbed casserole.

379
00:18:59.225 --> 00:19:00.878
Mm, and, you know,
I bet you that would be

380
00:19:00.965 --> 00:19:03.142
even better on bread
with lunch tomorrow.

381
00:19:03.229 --> 00:19:05.187
It makes
a delicious leftover sandwich.

382
00:19:05.231 --> 00:19:06.667
I'll make you one tomorrow
if you want it.

383
00:19:06.710 --> 00:19:10.540
Great. It's a photo-worthy
casserole, too.

384
00:19:10.627 --> 00:19:12.325
Mom always said
even the ugliest dishes

385
00:19:12.368 --> 00:19:14.022
can be photo-worthy
with a little garnish.

386
00:19:14.065 --> 00:19:16.546
-Mm-hmm.
-I like that philosophy.

387
00:19:16.633 --> 00:19:18.287
Marrying the worlds
of beauty and taste

388
00:19:18.374 --> 00:19:19.897
in my experience is seemingly

389
00:19:19.941 --> 00:19:22.161
one of the most difficult things
for a chef to do.

390
00:19:22.248 --> 00:19:25.033
Exactly. And whoever said
it had to be one or the other?

391
00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:27.601
Right, you know, I kinda feel
like if it's made with enough

392
00:19:27.688 --> 00:19:30.256
love, that the presentation
will just speak for itself.

393
00:19:30.343 --> 00:19:32.214
I like that,
if you wanna go take

394
00:19:32.258 --> 00:19:33.476
a seat in the dining room,
I'll serve you.

395
00:19:33.520 --> 00:19:34.825
Great.

396
00:19:36.262 --> 00:19:38.873
-Okay.
-Yeah. Thank you.

397
00:19:40.744 --> 00:19:42.529
What's the deal with you
and the new guy?

398
00:19:42.616 --> 00:19:44.139
You, uh, you know him
before today?

399
00:19:44.226 --> 00:19:46.185
Yup, that's the guy
who ruined my bakery

400
00:19:46.272 --> 00:19:48.883
with his bad review.
But it's not gonna happen again.

401
00:19:48.970 --> 00:19:51.146
-What are you doing?
-Serving our guest.

402
00:19:53.583 --> 00:19:55.106
Wow.

403
00:19:55.194 --> 00:19:57.152
Dinner is served.

404
00:19:59.372 --> 00:20:00.808
Care to join me?

405
00:20:00.895 --> 00:20:03.898
I'm still confused
why you joined us here.

406
00:20:03.985 --> 00:20:04.986
I know you didn't drive
all this way

407
00:20:05.073 --> 00:20:06.030
just for the secret ingredient

408
00:20:06.074 --> 00:20:07.771
in my homemade whipped cream.

409
00:20:07.815 --> 00:20:10.121
Which I'm not giving you,
by the way.

410
00:20:10.165 --> 00:20:14.996
Uh, look, I came up here
for some rest and relaxation.

411
00:20:15.083 --> 00:20:16.215
Um, isn't that enough?

412
00:20:16.258 --> 00:20:17.868
No, Tanner, it's not,

413
00:20:17.955 --> 00:20:20.871
because now it is about work.

414
00:20:20.958 --> 00:20:23.526
And you've got my mom all
excited, just like you had...

415
00:20:25.267 --> 00:20:27.704
Haven't you done enough damage
to my career already?

416
00:20:27.791 --> 00:20:30.141
I'm a food critic, okay, Josie?

417
00:20:30.185 --> 00:20:31.534
I have to be as honest
with my reviews

418
00:20:31.621 --> 00:20:33.275
as you are with your cooking.

419
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.235
And besides, your career
seems to be doing just fine.

420
00:20:36.322 --> 00:20:39.107
Now. It took a year
to bounce back.

421
00:20:39.194 --> 00:20:42.371
I was just doing my job.
And I said I was sorry.

422
00:20:42.458 --> 00:20:43.720
In a formal email.

423
00:20:43.807 --> 00:20:45.461
And I also invited you out
to dinner

424
00:20:45.505 --> 00:20:46.984
to make up for that.

425
00:20:47.028 --> 00:20:48.638
Yeah, like I'm gonna go out
with the guy

426
00:20:48.725 --> 00:20:50.553
who burned down my bakery.

427
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:53.643
Well, look
at your restaurant now. Okay?

428
00:20:53.687 --> 00:20:56.733
The food is good.
I mean, you've grown.

429
00:20:56.820 --> 00:20:58.605
So is that
why you're really here?

430
00:20:58.692 --> 00:21:02.261
Um...

431
00:21:02.348 --> 00:21:05.176
Look, the truth is,

432
00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:08.963
I find you
and your red-velvet pie...

433
00:21:09.659 --> 00:21:11.618
endearing.

434
00:21:11.705 --> 00:21:13.794
I-it's not just
about the whipped cream.

435
00:21:13.837 --> 00:21:16.013
So I came up here to see
what this Christmas cuisine

436
00:21:16.100 --> 00:21:17.450
was all about.

437
00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:19.800
Fine.

438
00:21:19.843 --> 00:21:22.585
But I can't risk you ruining
my mother's new venture,

439
00:21:22.672 --> 00:21:26.981
so, you like the food,
you don't like the food

440
00:21:27.068 --> 00:21:29.853
you only write about the food
if you love it.

441
00:21:29.897 --> 00:21:32.378
Ah, so we're striking deals now,
are we?

442
00:21:32.421 --> 00:21:36.512
But only if I love the food.

443
00:21:36.556 --> 00:21:38.384
Pretty much.

444
00:21:38.471 --> 00:21:42.475
If you don't like the food,
just tell me,

445
00:21:42.518 --> 00:21:44.128
but that's it.

446
00:21:44.215 --> 00:21:45.695
You know, I hope
this isn't your introduction

447
00:21:45.739 --> 00:21:47.654
to Iris Davenport
and Marla Kravitz

448
00:21:47.741 --> 00:21:48.698
in a couple of days.

449
00:21:53.834 --> 00:21:56.271
Mm. This is good.

450
00:21:56.358 --> 00:22:00.536
Yeah. I know.
Everything here is.

451
00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:02.321
I hope to find out.

452
00:22:24.604 --> 00:22:26.432
-This is a cute store.
Thanks.

453
00:22:26.475 --> 00:22:27.737
Do you have any crushed
peppermint or straight-up

454
00:22:27.781 --> 00:22:28.956
dark chocolate, by chance?

455
00:22:29.043 --> 00:22:30.479
Over there.
-Thank you.

456
00:22:43.710 --> 00:22:45.494
-Josie.
-Hm?

457
00:22:45.581 --> 00:22:46.843
Hey, what are you doing here?

458
00:22:46.930 --> 00:22:51.021
Uh, just, um,
getting some goodies.

459
00:22:51.108 --> 00:22:53.284
What's with the scarf
on your head?

460
00:22:53.372 --> 00:22:56.940
It's not a scarf,
it's, uh, fashion.

461
00:22:57.027 --> 00:22:58.681
Okay. Uh, well...

462
00:22:58.768 --> 00:23:00.335
Um, hey, um,
since we're both out,

463
00:23:00.422 --> 00:23:02.119
did you maybe wanna grab
some lunch?

464
00:23:02.163 --> 00:23:04.470
I know, I know you know all the
best eateries around here, so...

465
00:23:04.557 --> 00:23:06.123
Actually, yeah.

466
00:23:06.167 --> 00:23:07.734
This candy is kinda
making me hungry.

467
00:23:07.777 --> 00:23:10.606
Great. What did you get?

468
00:23:10.693 --> 00:23:14.567
Uh, it's a, another secret
ingredient for one of my dishes.

469
00:23:14.654 --> 00:23:17.831
Oh, so that's why
you were hiding on me. Okay.

470
00:23:17.874 --> 00:23:20.486
Well, I'm sure I'll figure it
out once I taste the dish.

471
00:23:20.529 --> 00:23:22.923
-Maybe not even then.
-Yeah. Maybe then.

472
00:23:22.966 --> 00:23:26.143
-Just have to wait and see.
-We will wait and see.

473
00:23:26.230 --> 00:23:27.231
Ready, dear?

474
00:23:32.149 --> 00:23:33.455
<i>Ho, well,
I am glad that we decided</i>

475
00:23:33.499 --> 00:23:35.283
<i>to split
the buffalo blue sandwich</i>

476
00:23:35.370 --> 00:23:36.980
because I would be bursting
at the seams right now.

477
00:23:37.024 --> 00:23:39.635
But, uh, thanks for having lunch
with me.

478
00:23:39.679 --> 00:23:41.855
I certainly never would've
imagined seeing the day

479
00:23:41.942 --> 00:23:45.293
where I'm sitting across
from Tanner Rhodes eating lunch.

480
00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:48.165
Well, we were bound to bond
over something someday.

481
00:23:48.252 --> 00:23:50.385
This chicken sandwich
is a perfect start.

482
00:23:51.430 --> 00:23:53.040
And you know why, uh...

483
00:23:53.127 --> 00:23:55.521
I just wanted to apologize
for my review.

484
00:23:55.564 --> 00:23:58.915
Partly 'cause it,
it wasn't mine alone.

485
00:23:59.002 --> 00:24:01.048
-What do you mean?
-Well, my managing editor.

486
00:24:01.135 --> 00:24:04.443
Pepper, she had her hands on it
before it hit print.

487
00:24:04.530 --> 00:24:06.880
And Pepper sometimes
likes to color outside the lines

488
00:24:06.967 --> 00:24:10.710
and use words that can affect
people's businesses.

489
00:24:10.753 --> 00:24:13.582
And although I can't apologize
for doing my job,

490
00:24:13.669 --> 00:24:15.279
I can apologize for its effects.

491
00:24:15.323 --> 00:24:17.368
I see.

492
00:24:17.456 --> 00:24:20.850
Well, thank you
for your apology.

493
00:24:20.937 --> 00:24:22.243
I guess everything
sort of happens

494
00:24:22.330 --> 00:24:23.636
the way it's meant to, right?

495
00:24:23.679 --> 00:24:26.029
Yeah. And it's Christmas time.

496
00:24:26.073 --> 00:24:27.683
It's time to make things right.

497
00:24:27.727 --> 00:24:29.511
And besides, if your mom's menu

498
00:24:29.598 --> 00:24:31.774
is half as good as her casserole
we had the other night,

499
00:24:31.861 --> 00:24:35.125
I'm telling you,
she is in for a rave review.

500
00:24:35.212 --> 00:24:36.997
It's not my mother
that I'm worried about.

501
00:24:37.040 --> 00:24:40.043
Oh. You're worried about my
thoughts on your dessert menu.

502
00:24:40.087 --> 00:24:41.480
-Aren't you?
Maybe.

503
00:24:41.523 --> 00:24:43.786
Although I am more confident now

504
00:24:43.873 --> 00:24:46.223
than anything
I've ever made before, but...

505
00:24:46.310 --> 00:24:47.834
Well, then,
why don't you tell me

506
00:24:47.921 --> 00:24:50.619
what is on the menu
for the big holiday review?

507
00:24:50.706 --> 00:24:53.361
Sans Santa's top-secret
ingredients, of course.

508
00:24:53.448 --> 00:24:57.365
We'll be serving three dessert
samples after the main course.

509
00:24:57.408 --> 00:24:59.280
My mom wants to test everything
out since I'm not gonna be

510
00:24:59.367 --> 00:25:00.455
around after the holidays.

511
00:25:00.542 --> 00:25:01.891
Hm, so

512
00:25:01.978 --> 00:25:04.633
three desserts
and zero complaints.

513
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:07.201
Come on. Tell me.

514
00:25:07.288 --> 00:25:10.900
Well, we have Rudolph's
red-velvet reindeer-cheesecake

515
00:25:10.987 --> 00:25:13.033
custard pie
which you've already tried.

516
00:25:13.120 --> 00:25:15.426
Yes. With the perfect
whipped cream.

517
00:25:15.514 --> 00:25:19.474
We have Santa's
snickerdoodle cookie bake

518
00:25:19.561 --> 00:25:21.650
with pecan and praline icing.

519
00:25:21.737 --> 00:25:23.826
Wow. Okay, keep going.

520
00:25:23.913 --> 00:25:26.176
And last but not least, we have

521
00:25:26.263 --> 00:25:28.309
my old Christmas tree <i>
tres leches</i> cake.

522
00:25:28.396 --> 00:25:30.050
<i>Tres leches?</i>

523
00:25:30.137 --> 00:25:32.661
-Did you just say <i>tres leches?
-I did.</i>

524
00:25:32.748 --> 00:25:33.749
And you're gonna use real milks?

525
00:25:33.836 --> 00:25:35.577
Yes, I'm using real milks.

526
00:25:35.621 --> 00:25:37.623
Wow, I find that
just fascinating

527
00:25:37.666 --> 00:25:40.016
because your bakery back in LA,
you didn't use one real milk,

528
00:25:40.103 --> 00:25:42.366
let alone three with real cream.

529
00:25:42.453 --> 00:25:44.673
That was my big-city bakery.

530
00:25:44.760 --> 00:25:46.283
Mom wants to have a comfort menu

531
00:25:46.370 --> 00:25:48.329
with things that we used
to make together growing up,

532
00:25:48.416 --> 00:25:50.418
so that's what I'm giving her.

533
00:25:50.505 --> 00:25:52.289
And what inspired the change
back in LA?

534
00:25:52.333 --> 00:25:56.337
I don't know, um,
chefs I used to work for,

535
00:25:56.424 --> 00:25:58.992
trends that were hot
at the time.

536
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:01.603
People's waistlines?

537
00:26:01.690 --> 00:26:03.605
I mean, it's LA.
You know how it is down there.

538
00:26:03.649 --> 00:26:06.956
People like to eat
healthy and clean.

539
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.828
I thought I was making
what would sell.

540
00:26:08.915 --> 00:26:10.960
Yeah, no, I totally get it,
but, I mean,

541
00:26:11.047 --> 00:26:12.962
your red-velvet pie
with the cream-cheese custard

542
00:26:13.049 --> 00:26:17.576
is a far cry from your vegan,
low-sugar, red-velvet macaroons.

543
00:26:17.663 --> 00:26:20.056
But have you ever thought about,
you know, marrying the two,

544
00:26:20.143 --> 00:26:22.537
sort of just
meeting in the middle?

545
00:26:22.624 --> 00:26:25.235
Nope. Maybe I should.

546
00:26:25.322 --> 00:26:26.585
I did have more fun
making this menu

547
00:26:26.672 --> 00:26:28.499
than anything I've made before.

548
00:26:28.543 --> 00:26:30.066
Yeah, and I think
that when people try your food,

549
00:26:30.153 --> 00:26:31.764
it'll shine through the menu.

550
00:26:31.851 --> 00:26:34.375
Some people like my bakery.

551
00:26:34.462 --> 00:26:35.985
But you just weren't
one of them.

552
00:26:36.072 --> 00:26:39.380
I thought I was making
what the people would like.

553
00:26:39.467 --> 00:26:41.164
What about what you like? Hm?

554
00:26:42.426 --> 00:26:49.782
I'm still figuring that out.

555
00:26:49.869 --> 00:26:51.131
It's so much bigger than...

556
00:26:53.350 --> 00:26:54.787
You're back!

557
00:26:54.830 --> 00:26:57.441
Pepper, what are you doing here?

558
00:26:57.528 --> 00:26:59.661
Oh, my plans to go
to Connecticut fell through.

559
00:26:59.748 --> 00:27:01.445
Mom and dad went to Tulum.

560
00:27:01.532 --> 00:27:03.447
I didn't wanna be someplace warm
for Christmas,

561
00:27:03.534 --> 00:27:05.885
and since LA is warm,
I took a lift here.

562
00:27:05.972 --> 00:27:09.758
Uh, Oh, I-I see you've met,
uh, Ms. Byrde.

563
00:27:09.845 --> 00:27:12.065
Uh, Josie, uh,
you remember Pepper.

564
00:27:12.152 --> 00:27:14.807
She is my managing editor
at <i>The Beatdown.</i>

565
00:27:14.894 --> 00:27:16.417
Yes. Hello again.

566
00:27:16.504 --> 00:27:19.376
-Welcome to our B&B.
-Thank you.

567
00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:21.422
So-so are-are you staying?

568
00:27:21.509 --> 00:27:23.076
I am. Exciting, right?

569
00:27:23.163 --> 00:27:25.687
Mum, I thought the,
all the rooms were booked up

570
00:27:25.731 --> 00:27:29.299
until the thing when the people
come on Wednesday.

571
00:27:29.386 --> 00:27:31.388
Oh, the Adlers are leaving
this afternoon,

572
00:27:31.432 --> 00:27:34.174
so I can actually offer her
a room with a view.

573
00:27:34.261 --> 00:27:35.523
And I hear later tonight
is the annual

574
00:27:35.610 --> 00:27:37.743
cookie Christmas bake-off.

575
00:27:37.830 --> 00:27:40.223
Uh, it's just
a little family tradition.

576
00:27:40.267 --> 00:27:42.008
Well, I don't know about you,
but I, for one,

577
00:27:42.095 --> 00:27:44.445
live for a good bake-off.

578
00:27:44.532 --> 00:27:45.533
Well, then you're in
for a treat.

579
00:27:45.576 --> 00:27:47.274
Oh. Pun intended.

580
00:27:47.361 --> 00:27:49.537
You're so funny. I love it.

581
00:27:58.938 --> 00:27:59.982
You ready?

582
00:28:00.069 --> 00:28:01.375
And go.

583
00:28:19.262 --> 00:28:20.916
-Wow.
-Right?

584
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:23.136
This casserole sandwich
is really good.

585
00:28:23.223 --> 00:28:24.485
Yeah, I had this for dinner
last night.

586
00:28:24.572 --> 00:28:25.747
And it tastes even better today,

587
00:28:25.791 --> 00:28:27.183
just like I said.

588
00:28:27.270 --> 00:28:28.750
It's actually kind of surprising

589
00:28:28.837 --> 00:28:30.839
considering how not good
the food was

590
00:28:30.926 --> 00:28:32.711
at the Byrde's Bakery.

591
00:28:35.191 --> 00:28:36.932
You know, Pepper, uh,
don't you think our critique

592
00:28:36.976 --> 00:28:40.631
was a little bit harsh, you
know? "More trite than taste."

593
00:28:40.719 --> 00:28:42.938
-I mean...
-Tanner, hardly.

594
00:28:43.025 --> 00:28:44.853
You're always totally fair
with your critiques.

595
00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:48.422
Yes, but those weren't exactly
my words.

596
00:28:48.509 --> 00:28:51.294
And from what I could remember,
they were yours.

597
00:28:51.381 --> 00:28:52.556
You know,
sometimes you like to add

598
00:28:52.643 --> 00:28:54.384
a little bit of spice
to my work.

599
00:28:54.471 --> 00:28:57.344
-Am I right?
-Yeah, 'cause spice sells.

600
00:28:57.431 --> 00:28:59.825
And I was only saying
what you couldn't.

601
00:28:59.912 --> 00:29:02.610
Okay, but there's one thing
that I know for sure.

602
00:29:02.697 --> 00:29:05.047
That red-velvet pie has just
enough spice for everyone.

603
00:29:05.134 --> 00:29:07.571
And I'm excited to try
the Christmas cuisine.

604
00:29:07.658 --> 00:29:09.095
May the best woman win.

605
00:29:15.014 --> 00:29:17.843
I'm just glad
that I can make it here

606
00:29:17.886 --> 00:29:20.889
to celebrate the spirit
of the season with you.

607
00:29:22.543 --> 00:29:26.808
Okay, so who is ready
for the bake-off?

608
00:29:26.852 --> 00:29:28.114
Ooh.

609
00:29:29.637 --> 00:29:31.378
Ooh. We are!

610
00:29:31.465 --> 00:29:33.249
Wow. They look delicious.

611
00:29:33.336 --> 00:29:34.990
Okay. Whose is whose?

612
00:29:35.034 --> 00:29:37.601
Pepper, we can't tell you that.

613
00:29:37.688 --> 00:29:39.690
It's a competition.

614
00:29:39.778 --> 00:29:42.084
But I can tell you
that in the p...

615
00:29:42.171 --> 00:29:44.260
In the past, we have both won.

616
00:29:44.347 --> 00:29:47.307
Okay. Well, the,
who should go first?

617
00:29:47.394 --> 00:29:49.788
I'll go,
and I bet I can tell you

618
00:29:49.875 --> 00:29:51.833
whose is whose
after the first bite.

619
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:54.793
But you won't, since it won't be
fair to the other contestants.

620
00:29:54.836 --> 00:29:56.490
All right. Here we go.

621
00:29:58.361 --> 00:30:02.104
Mm. Sweet, but not too sweet.

622
00:30:05.716 --> 00:30:07.936
Mm. Yummy.

623
00:30:08.023 --> 00:30:10.112
Fluffy. Tough choice.

624
00:30:10.199 --> 00:30:12.854
Uh, well, Pepper, why don't
you go and then I'll go?

625
00:30:12.941 --> 00:30:16.379
Okay. I'm gonna try
the snowman first.

626
00:30:18.904 --> 00:30:21.689
Good. It's a bit rich.

627
00:30:24.692 --> 00:30:26.433
This is just delish.

628
00:30:26.520 --> 00:30:29.218
I'm Team Gingerbread
all the way.

629
00:30:29.262 --> 00:30:31.090
Ah, well, I guess I'll go.

630
00:30:31.133 --> 00:30:35.181
Let's see. Team Gingerbread.
Very festive. That's...

631
00:30:35.224 --> 00:30:37.879
Just a little taste. Mm.

632
00:30:37.966 --> 00:30:39.402
White-chocolate glaze
on the top.

633
00:30:39.446 --> 00:30:42.579
-Very nice.
-Nice and buttery. Creamy.

634
00:30:42.623 --> 00:30:47.019
Let's see, um, tryin'
a snowman here. Let's see.

635
00:30:48.455 --> 00:30:51.240
Hm. Nice and buttery.

636
00:30:51.284 --> 00:30:53.939
Fluffy. It's pretty good.

637
00:30:54.026 --> 00:30:57.246
Hm. Tough choice.
What say you, good sir?

638
00:30:57.290 --> 00:31:01.598
I think I'm gonna go
with Team Snowman.

639
00:31:01.685 --> 00:31:03.774
Hm.

640
00:31:03.818 --> 00:31:08.214
Well, I'd have to say that, uh,
I'm Team Snowman as well.

641
00:31:08.301 --> 00:31:11.739
-Frosty for the win.
-Oh.

642
00:31:12.696 --> 00:31:14.960
I finally beat you again.

643
00:31:15.003 --> 00:31:17.353
Again?
When was the last time you won?

644
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:19.878
-I was 12.
-Oh.

645
00:31:20.922 --> 00:31:21.967
Well, congratulations.

646
00:31:25.057 --> 00:31:27.233
So how's LA? Mom says
the restaurant's doing well.

647
00:31:27.276 --> 00:31:29.061
Yeah. It is, actually.

648
00:31:29.148 --> 00:31:30.671
The food is interesting

649
00:31:30.758 --> 00:31:33.195
and my business partner
is great.

650
00:31:33.282 --> 00:31:35.371
She, she really knows
how to keep

651
00:31:35.458 --> 00:31:36.938
the dining culture
thriving there in a way

652
00:31:37.025 --> 00:31:38.897
that I was never really
able to do on my own.

653
00:31:38.984 --> 00:31:41.508
That's so great.
I'm really happy for you, Jos.

654
00:31:41.595 --> 00:31:43.336
Thanks.

655
00:31:43.423 --> 00:31:46.034
So, uh, you seeing anybody?

656
00:31:47.993 --> 00:31:50.386
Nope, actually, um,

657
00:31:50.473 --> 00:31:51.648
I kinda took myself
off the market

658
00:31:51.735 --> 00:31:53.868
after I broke up with Brett.

659
00:31:53.955 --> 00:31:56.740
Yeah, I, uh, I never really
liked that guy anyway.

660
00:31:56.827 --> 00:31:58.220
You never met him.

661
00:31:58.307 --> 00:32:00.179
I heard enough about him
from your mom.

662
00:32:00.266 --> 00:32:02.572
And I know your dad
wasn't very fond of him,

663
00:32:02.659 --> 00:32:05.227
so he mustn't have been
that great.

664
00:32:05.314 --> 00:32:09.101
Looking back, maybe he wasn't.

665
00:32:09.188 --> 00:32:12.974
He wasn't a bad guy, he just,
um, wasn't the right one.

666
00:32:15.846 --> 00:32:18.980
I'm glad my mom has you here
to help take care of this place.

667
00:32:19.024 --> 00:32:20.242
You're one of the few people
I trust

668
00:32:20.329 --> 00:32:22.070
to actually
help take care of her.

669
00:32:22.157 --> 00:32:24.333
Well, you know, she actually
pretty much raised me

670
00:32:24.377 --> 00:32:26.335
since high school, too,
you know?

671
00:32:26.422 --> 00:32:28.990
I mean, I was here
almost every day.

672
00:32:29.034 --> 00:32:30.992
Yeah. You were.

673
00:32:32.167 --> 00:32:35.257
Yeah. Those were great times.

674
00:32:35.344 --> 00:32:37.303
Taking your dad's boat
out to the lake,

675
00:32:37.346 --> 00:32:39.609
doin' flip dives off the dock.

676
00:32:40.697 --> 00:32:42.699
We had fun.

677
00:32:42.786 --> 00:32:45.920
It has been a while. Maybe
I'll come back this summer.

678
00:32:46.007 --> 00:32:50.055
Yeah, you better. See
if you still got that flip dive.

679
00:32:50.142 --> 00:32:52.622
Like a swan.

680
00:33:08.551 --> 00:33:11.206
-Hey.
-Oh, hey there.

681
00:33:11.293 --> 00:33:12.860
What are you doing out here
in the cold?

682
00:33:12.947 --> 00:33:15.819
Well, it's not that bad.
It's actually kinda nice.

683
00:33:15.906 --> 00:33:17.517
I mean, besides,
I went to college in Chicago,

684
00:33:17.604 --> 00:33:19.867
and this kinda feels like
summer weather.

685
00:33:19.954 --> 00:33:22.261
And you can't really beat
that view, can you?

686
00:33:22.348 --> 00:33:24.828
Yeah. It's a pretty great view,
isn't it?

687
00:33:24.872 --> 00:33:28.310
Yeah. So this where you grew up?

688
00:33:28.397 --> 00:33:31.226
Yeah. My parents bought
this place when I was a kid.

689
00:33:31.270 --> 00:33:34.099
Before that we lived
on the other side of the lake.

690
00:33:34.142 --> 00:33:37.450
My dad actually proposed to
my mom right here on the water.

691
00:33:37.537 --> 00:33:38.668
Took a bunch of red roses

692
00:33:38.755 --> 00:33:40.975
and spread them out
all around them.

693
00:33:41.062 --> 00:33:43.847
That's amazing. Props to him.

694
00:33:43.934 --> 00:33:47.155
-What you working on?
-Oh, uh, it's nothing.

695
00:33:47.242 --> 00:33:49.810
It's just my book.

696
00:33:49.897 --> 00:33:52.943
I didn't know you wrote books.

697
00:33:53.031 --> 00:33:55.337
Yeah, I mean, i-it's
been five years in the making,

698
00:33:55.424 --> 00:33:56.643
so I wouldn't exactly
call myself

699
00:33:56.730 --> 00:33:58.123
an accomplished writer
quite yet.

700
00:33:58.210 --> 00:34:01.343
-But, um, yeah.
-What's it about?

701
00:34:01.430 --> 00:34:05.217
Um, well, it's called <i>
Cooked For Culture.</i>

702
00:34:05.304 --> 00:34:07.567
And basically
it's an insider's view

703
00:34:07.610 --> 00:34:10.700
of large cities across the US
and how cuisine shapes them.

704
00:34:10.787 --> 00:34:12.354
So anything
from a small dinner menu

705
00:34:12.441 --> 00:34:14.878
to, you know,
big-city nightlife.

706
00:34:14.922 --> 00:34:16.358
It sounds intriguing.

707
00:34:16.445 --> 00:34:18.056
You know, you should check out

708
00:34:18.143 --> 00:34:22.060
some of LA's
less upscale restaurants.

709
00:34:22.147 --> 00:34:24.105
There is this one Mexican dive
in mid-Wilshire.

710
00:34:24.192 --> 00:34:26.151
The food there is so good.

711
00:34:26.238 --> 00:34:28.544
I, uh, apprenticed there
for, like, a year.

712
00:34:28.631 --> 00:34:30.720
It's actually what inspired
my <i>tres leches</i> cake.

713
00:34:30.807 --> 00:34:33.636
Hm. Mid-Wilshire.
Remember that one.

714
00:34:33.680 --> 00:34:36.378
So why is this
five years in the making?

715
00:34:36.465 --> 00:34:38.815
Uh, well, I mean, partly because

716
00:34:38.859 --> 00:34:43.385
dining and trending culture
keeps changing and, you know...

717
00:34:43.472 --> 00:34:45.605
Yeah, but if you wait
for the trends to stop changing,

718
00:34:45.692 --> 00:34:46.997
then you'll never finish.

719
00:34:47.041 --> 00:34:49.391
-Mm-hmm.
-It's why it's called trending.

720
00:34:49.478 --> 00:34:50.740
<i>Touche.</i>

721
00:34:50.827 --> 00:34:53.395
Okay, so trending and what else?

722
00:34:53.482 --> 00:34:54.440
What was the other reason?

723
00:34:54.527 --> 00:34:56.920
Well, uh, partly,

724
00:34:57.007 --> 00:34:58.226
I'm a little worried that

725
00:34:58.313 --> 00:34:59.619
not everybody's gonna wanna read

726
00:34:59.706 --> 00:35:02.274
what a foodie food critic
has to say.

727
00:35:02.361 --> 00:35:06.321
You know, when I was a kid, my
mom was actually an accountant.

728
00:35:06.365 --> 00:35:07.670
She liked to cook,
but she didn't

729
00:35:07.714 --> 00:35:09.019
have that confidence
that she does now.

730
00:35:09.107 --> 00:35:10.151
It's my dad
that actually pushed her

731
00:35:10.195 --> 00:35:13.154
into pursuing it.

732
00:35:13.241 --> 00:35:17.158
I remember, he'd be like, "Shan,
you, you keep using this recipe,

733
00:35:17.245 --> 00:35:18.638
but then
you keep complaining about

734
00:35:18.681 --> 00:35:20.770
what's wrong about the recipe.

735
00:35:20.857 --> 00:35:23.251
Unless you get in the kitchen
and you work through it

736
00:35:23.338 --> 00:35:25.123
and you figure out
how to fix it yourself,

737
00:35:25.210 --> 00:35:28.648
then the recipe's
never gonna evolve.

738
00:35:28.691 --> 00:35:32.173
So maybe you'll never know
unless you try.

739
00:35:32.260 --> 00:35:35.045
Well, we can't all be
fearless entrepreneurs like you,

740
00:35:35.133 --> 00:35:36.264
Ms. Josie Byrde.

741
00:35:36.351 --> 00:35:37.874
Yeah.

742
00:35:37.918 --> 00:35:39.920
My fearlessness landed me
with a failed bakery,

743
00:35:40.007 --> 00:35:41.487
so...

744
00:35:41.574 --> 00:35:43.358
Actually, forget everything
that I just said.

745
00:35:45.447 --> 00:35:47.319
Yeah, but, you know, I bet
your dad's pretty proud of you

746
00:35:47.406 --> 00:35:49.147
for all you've accomplished.

747
00:35:50.626 --> 00:35:52.802
Yeah, he was my biggest fan.

748
00:35:52.846 --> 00:35:54.543
He died a few years ago.

749
00:35:54.630 --> 00:35:56.980
Oh, I'm really sorry
to hear that, Josie.

750
00:35:57.067 --> 00:35:58.808
Thank you.

751
00:35:58.895 --> 00:36:02.682
He got to see his dream
lived out.

752
00:36:02.769 --> 00:36:05.685
He's wanted to buy this place
ever since I was a baby.

753
00:36:05.772 --> 00:36:07.948
The previous owners,
they used to throw

754
00:36:08.035 --> 00:36:12.866
these huge Christmas Eve feasts.

755
00:36:12.953 --> 00:36:15.521
You know, they would have
tons of different chefs,

756
00:36:15.564 --> 00:36:17.827
all sorts of different cuisines.

757
00:36:17.914 --> 00:36:19.699
It was awesome.

758
00:36:19.786 --> 00:36:21.483
I think that's probably
what inspired my mom

759
00:36:21.570 --> 00:36:23.877
to really, you know, try

760
00:36:23.964 --> 00:36:25.922
to make it into something
that she wanted to do.

761
00:36:26.009 --> 00:36:28.708
Well, I think it's what inspired
both of you, kind of, isn't it?

762
00:36:29.926 --> 00:36:31.885
Hm.

763
00:36:31.972 --> 00:36:34.670
When their kids grew up
and moved out,

764
00:36:34.757 --> 00:36:37.107
that's when they decided
to sell the place to my parents.

765
00:36:37.195 --> 00:36:39.022
It was my dad's idea
to turn it into a B&B.

766
00:36:39.109 --> 00:36:40.154
Really?

767
00:36:40.241 --> 00:36:41.199
He promised them that we would

768
00:36:41.286 --> 00:36:42.983
try to keep up the

769
00:36:43.070 --> 00:36:44.550
Christmas Eve feast tradition

770
00:36:44.637 --> 00:36:46.291
as long as we could.

771
00:36:46.334 --> 00:36:49.250
Hm, and now it's not just going
to be for holiday feasts,

772
00:36:49.337 --> 00:36:52.035
it's gonna be a full bistro
year-round.

773
00:36:52.122 --> 00:36:53.515
It's crazy, right?

774
00:36:55.082 --> 00:36:56.736
Man, it's so funny
how things happen

775
00:36:56.779 --> 00:36:58.128
when you think about it.

776
00:36:58.172 --> 00:37:00.130
Yeah, well,
sometimes it takes time

777
00:37:00.174 --> 00:37:03.917
to find the right ingredients
for the perfect dish.

778
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:05.092
Hm.

779
00:37:08.269 --> 00:37:09.749
I will let you get back
to writing.

780
00:37:09.836 --> 00:37:11.141
I was just headed down
to the greenhouse

781
00:37:11.229 --> 00:37:12.404
to get some vegetables.

782
00:37:12.447 --> 00:37:13.492
Uh, well, you know what?

783
00:37:13.579 --> 00:37:15.145
Actually, I've hit my quota

784
00:37:15.233 --> 00:37:17.452
for the day. Two pages.

785
00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:19.498
Uh, do you want some help?

786
00:37:20.673 --> 00:37:22.414
-Sure.
-Great.

787
00:37:27.767 --> 00:37:29.203
Wow.
-Yeah, it's...

788
00:37:29.290 --> 00:37:31.336
It's kind of... Yeah, whatever.

789
00:37:31.423 --> 00:37:32.902
Well, it's good to be down here.

790
00:37:32.989 --> 00:37:34.687
-Right? Yeah.
-Like...

791
00:37:34.774 --> 00:37:37.124
You know? But it's not like...

792
00:37:37.211 --> 00:37:38.778
But it's kind of cool, yeah.

793
00:37:41.171 --> 00:37:42.956
Uh, wow.

794
00:37:46.046 --> 00:37:47.569
And it's all decked out
for the holidays.

795
00:37:47.656 --> 00:37:50.703
-It's a cute effect.

796
00:37:50.790 --> 00:37:53.314
Yeah, mom turned the greenhouse
into a hand-me-down house

797
00:37:53.401 --> 00:37:55.273
for all of the holiday
decorations.

798
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:58.101
Every time she buys something
new in the bed & breakfast,

799
00:37:58.188 --> 00:37:59.712
the old stuff retires out here.

800
00:37:59.799 --> 00:38:02.323
Hm. I like it.

801
00:38:02.410 --> 00:38:04.412
It's just missing
a Christmas tree.

802
00:38:04.499 --> 00:38:07.241
Oh, please.
Don't give her any ideas.

803
00:38:07.328 --> 00:38:09.330
I'll come here next year
and there'll be scotch pine

804
00:38:09.417 --> 00:38:11.854
growing in the south side.

805
00:38:11.941 --> 00:38:15.684
So what are we picking for?

806
00:38:15.771 --> 00:38:17.207
Well, I'm gonna make
a couple of quiche

807
00:38:17.295 --> 00:38:18.905
for breakfast in the morning.

808
00:38:18.992 --> 00:38:21.734
Ah. What is your quiche niche?

809
00:38:21.821 --> 00:38:23.257
It's a Christmas quiche.

810
00:38:23.344 --> 00:38:28.001
So I'll probably do
traditional holiday fair.

811
00:38:28.088 --> 00:38:31.744
Bell peppers,
spinach, little gruyere.

812
00:38:31.831 --> 00:38:34.529
Bell peppers. Incoming!

813
00:38:34.573 --> 00:38:35.487
Oh.

814
00:38:38.968 --> 00:38:40.361
Hey, what did you do that for?

815
00:38:40.448 --> 00:38:41.406
What's wrong with my pepper?

816
00:38:41.493 --> 00:38:43.364
Uh, well, that's a green pepper.

817
00:38:43.451 --> 00:38:45.540
I'm only gonna put red peppers
in my quiche.

818
00:38:45.627 --> 00:38:47.499
-Spinach will be my green.
-Ah.

819
00:38:47.586 --> 00:38:49.022
So you can't just throw
a green pepper in there?

820
00:38:49.109 --> 00:38:52.504
Well, a green pepper is actually
just a young red pepper,

821
00:38:52.591 --> 00:38:55.507
hasn't reached
its maximum flavor potential.

822
00:38:55.594 --> 00:38:59.467
Well, some people may say,
like, a successful food critic,

823
00:38:59.554 --> 00:39:01.295
that if you picked
the right green pepper,

824
00:39:01.382 --> 00:39:03.819
it has just as much flavor
as a red one.

825
00:39:03.906 --> 00:39:05.995
Well, mm,

826
00:39:06.082 --> 00:39:09.347
while some food critic
might say that,

827
00:39:09.434 --> 00:39:12.045
a certain successful chef
might argue

828
00:39:12.132 --> 00:39:15.091
that a green pepper's bitterness
will overpower the taste

829
00:39:15.178 --> 00:39:16.571
of an already powerful quiche.

830
00:39:16.658 --> 00:39:18.225
And a green pepper
with its seeds

831
00:39:18.312 --> 00:39:19.879
and insides ripped out of it

832
00:39:19.966 --> 00:39:21.968
is much less bitter
than one that's intact.

833
00:39:22.055 --> 00:39:24.492
And that green pepper
still has no place

834
00:39:24.579 --> 00:39:26.364
in my holiday quiche.

835
00:39:26.451 --> 00:39:27.843
Tell the gruyere
you want it there

836
00:39:27.930 --> 00:39:29.497
and see what the gruyere
says back to you.

837
00:39:33.893 --> 00:39:35.242
Aha.

838
00:39:37.723 --> 00:39:39.594
See?

839
00:39:39.681 --> 00:39:41.117
Perfect red pepper.

840
00:39:41.204 --> 00:39:42.554
Wow. Score!

841
00:39:50.344 --> 00:39:53.739
Uh. Okay.
Oven's all yours, sweetie.

842
00:39:53.826 --> 00:39:55.131
Thank you.

843
00:39:55.175 --> 00:39:56.872
All right,
our bedrooms are ready

844
00:39:56.959 --> 00:39:58.526
for our celebrity guests
tomorrow.

845
00:39:58.613 --> 00:40:00.310
Wonderful. Thank you.

846
00:40:00.398 --> 00:40:02.617
You betcha.
What else do you need?

847
00:40:02.704 --> 00:40:05.446
Mm. Can you get some
gift-wrapping out of the attic?

848
00:40:05.533 --> 00:40:07.056
We have to do
some gift-wrapping.

849
00:40:07.143 --> 00:40:08.362
I'm gonna check
on Pepper and Tanner

850
00:40:08.449 --> 00:40:09.494
and then I'll meet you
in the den.

851
00:40:09.581 --> 00:40:11.017
You got it.

852
00:40:11.104 --> 00:40:12.845
Wow. Looks great, Jos.

853
00:40:12.932 --> 00:40:14.499
Thank you!

854
00:40:14.586 --> 00:40:17.458
What's with
all the giddy humming?

855
00:40:17.545 --> 00:40:19.329
Can't a girl like holiday music?

856
00:40:19.417 --> 00:40:21.375
Not if she's my daughter.

857
00:40:21.462 --> 00:40:24.552
She's a 100 percent focused
on food,

858
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:29.862
unless she's focused on
something else or someone else.

859
00:40:29.949 --> 00:40:33.692
Come on. Who is it? It's gotta
be Nolan or Tanner. Spill.

860
00:40:33.779 --> 00:40:35.650
The only thing I'm gonna spill
is this quiche mix

861
00:40:35.737 --> 00:40:38.436
if you don't move
and let me put it in the oven.

862
00:40:39.698 --> 00:40:40.699
Okay.

863
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:48.968
Corner pocket.

864
00:40:51.231 --> 00:40:52.711
-Really?
-Ha-ha-ha.

865
00:40:52.798 --> 00:40:55.322
Hey, can I offer you guys
something to drink?

866
00:40:55.409 --> 00:40:57.585
-Oh.
-I've got some hot apple cider.

867
00:40:57.672 --> 00:40:59.979
Yeah, sure,
I'd love some hot apple cider.

868
00:41:01.502 --> 00:41:03.069
Here you go. Careful.
It's really hot.

869
00:41:03.156 --> 00:41:06.028
-Hm.
-So how's Josie doing up there?

870
00:41:06.115 --> 00:41:08.857
Oh, she is cooking up
a snowstorm.

871
00:41:08.944 --> 00:41:11.381
-Hm.

872
00:41:11.469 --> 00:41:14.254
-Oh, that is good.
-Very, very yummy. Thank you.

873
00:41:14.341 --> 00:41:15.473
You're welcome.

874
00:41:16.909 --> 00:41:18.563
Okay, mister.

875
00:41:18.606 --> 00:41:20.782
You and I need to decide
what we wanna do for New Year's.

876
00:41:20.869 --> 00:41:22.741
We have been invited
to eight different restaurants

877
00:41:22.828 --> 00:41:25.091
with pre-fixed menus,
and I'm thinking

878
00:41:25.178 --> 00:41:28.050
maybe peruse the menus,
plan on hitting at least three.

879
00:41:28.137 --> 00:41:30.183
Um, well,
actually, I was thinking

880
00:41:30.270 --> 00:41:32.838
of working on my book
for a little bit this afternoon.

881
00:41:33.403 --> 00:41:35.101
Fine.

882
00:41:35.188 --> 00:41:38.757
I, um, guess I'll go
look at the menus by myself.

883
00:41:43.326 --> 00:41:46.591
So, you guys a thing?

884
00:41:46.678 --> 00:41:48.244
-Oh, Pepper and I?
-Mm-hmm.

885
00:41:48.331 --> 00:41:50.899
No. We're just,
we're just colleagues.

886
00:41:50.986 --> 00:41:53.119
-Does she know that?
-Yeah, I mean...

887
00:41:53.206 --> 00:41:54.860
You know,
Pepper's a strong-willed woman,

888
00:41:54.947 --> 00:41:56.862
and she gets what she wants
most of the time.

889
00:41:56.949 --> 00:42:00.953
And you're the one thing
she can't get. Right?

890
00:42:01.040 --> 00:42:04.260
Pepper's just,
she's not really my type.

891
00:42:04.347 --> 00:42:06.741
Really? She's so beautiful.

892
00:42:06.785 --> 00:42:09.527
Yeah, she is.
but I guess I like someone

893
00:42:09.614 --> 00:42:12.660
who's a little more unassuming.

894
00:42:12.747 --> 00:42:13.792
What do you mean by that?

895
00:42:13.879 --> 00:42:15.750
Pepper's like a,

896
00:42:15.794 --> 00:42:17.317
she's a really rich flan.

897
00:42:17.404 --> 00:42:20.276
You know, what you see
is exactly what you get.

898
00:42:20.363 --> 00:42:24.759
And, uh, well, I'm more
of a <i>creme brulee</i> kind of guy.

899
00:42:24.846 --> 00:42:28.720
So you mean, a little crunchy
on the outside,

900
00:42:28.807 --> 00:42:30.765
but still soft and sweet
on the inside?

901
00:42:30.852 --> 00:42:32.985
Precisely.

902
00:42:33.072 --> 00:42:35.727
I know someone just like that.

903
00:42:35.814 --> 00:42:38.773
She's upstairs in the kitchen
and I think she needs some help.

904
00:42:38.860 --> 00:42:40.122
Hm.

905
00:42:53.396 --> 00:42:54.267
That looks like
it's about finished.

906
00:42:54.354 --> 00:42:56.965
Oh, Tanner, you scared me.

907
00:42:57.052 --> 00:42:59.272
Oh, you scare easy.
It's good to know.

908
00:42:59.359 --> 00:43:02.057
Do not try that again.

909
00:43:02.144 --> 00:43:04.930
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I come here
in peace and holiday prosperity.

910
00:43:05.017 --> 00:43:06.279
I promise.

911
00:43:10.631 --> 00:43:13.503
Mm. Ah. You were right.
It is good.

912
00:43:13.591 --> 00:43:15.375
That piece fell on the floor.

913
00:43:17.072 --> 00:43:19.118
Five-second rule?

914
00:43:19.205 --> 00:43:21.860
It was a strong
ten-second casualty

915
00:43:21.947 --> 00:43:25.037
in my food-to-floor statistics.

916
00:43:25.124 --> 00:43:27.474
Okay.

917
00:43:27.561 --> 00:43:30.564
It's a perfectly even bake,
but it's not yet finished.

918
00:43:30.651 --> 00:43:32.348
What? You know that
just from the smell?

919
00:43:32.435 --> 00:43:34.612
Tsk. And I know
my mother's oven.

920
00:43:35.482 --> 00:43:37.658
Did you need something?

921
00:43:37.745 --> 00:43:40.313
I just came up here to see
if you could use any help.

922
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.708
Oh. You help me...

923
00:43:43.795 --> 00:43:45.013
-You cook?
-Hey.

924
00:43:45.100 --> 00:43:47.276
I could be a good sous-chef.

925
00:43:47.363 --> 00:43:50.453
I can be the little elf helper
to your Mrs. Claus.

926
00:43:50.540 --> 00:43:54.153
Well, thank you.
That's, that's very sweet.

927
00:43:54.240 --> 00:43:55.371
But, uh,
you kinda missed the mark,

928
00:43:55.415 --> 00:43:57.722
'cause once that's done,
I'm done.

929
00:43:57.809 --> 00:44:00.899
Well, what are you gonna do
until then?

930
00:44:00.986 --> 00:44:03.292
Um, I don't know. Why?

931
00:44:03.336 --> 00:44:04.816
You play pool?

932
00:44:06.469 --> 00:44:08.907
-I'm okay.
-Perfect.

933
00:44:08.994 --> 00:44:10.343
Play you for a chance to reveal

934
00:44:10.430 --> 00:44:12.171
the secret ingredient
in your whipped cream?

935
00:44:13.825 --> 00:44:15.000
Come on.

936
00:44:20.048 --> 00:44:21.615
Wow.

937
00:44:21.702 --> 00:44:24.618
Now when I win, what do I get?

938
00:44:26.359 --> 00:44:28.753
-What do you want?
-Mm. I don't know.

939
00:44:28.796 --> 00:44:32.452
Maybe a special thanks in your
new book, if you ever finish.

940
00:44:32.539 --> 00:44:35.716
How about a mention
in my book?

941
00:44:35.803 --> 00:44:39.111
Mm. Better be
a positive one.

942
00:44:42.810 --> 00:44:45.117
-Oh.

943
00:44:47.815 --> 00:44:48.773
-Do you smell that?

944
00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:50.122
The quiche.

945
00:44:52.820 --> 00:44:56.041
You're always so much better
than me at this.

946
00:44:58.391 --> 00:44:59.958
Did you hear that squeal?

947
00:45:00.045 --> 00:45:01.394
Probably a raccoon.

948
00:45:03.701 --> 00:45:05.354
-Oh.
-Uh, no... Your hand!

949
00:45:05.398 --> 00:45:07.661
Oh. Thank you.

950
00:45:07.748 --> 00:45:10.098
-It's burnt.
-Sorry.

951
00:45:10.185 --> 00:45:12.492
Mm. No. It's my fault.

952
00:45:12.579 --> 00:45:14.146
I should have beat you faster.

953
00:45:15.887 --> 00:45:19.499
-Well, now what?
-Now we make a new quiche.

954
00:45:19.586 --> 00:45:21.370
-We?
-Yeah.

955
00:45:21.457 --> 00:45:23.024
Come on, pool shark, let's go.

956
00:45:30.640 --> 00:45:31.990
Hello?

957
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:47.788
Hey. What about...

958
00:45:47.875 --> 00:45:52.140
Oh. Nice, you're learning.

959
00:45:52.227 --> 00:45:53.925
I just need to get
some strawberries

960
00:45:54.012 --> 00:45:56.492
for my <i>tres leches</i> cake topping.

961
00:45:56.536 --> 00:45:58.407
Ooh, have you ever tried one of
these fresh out of the ground?

962
00:45:58.494 --> 00:46:02.107
They are so sweet.

963
00:46:02.194 --> 00:46:03.456
You wanna try one?

964
00:46:05.240 --> 00:46:07.329
Tanner?

965
00:46:07.416 --> 00:46:10.463
I told you,
do not sneak up on me.

966
00:46:21.866 --> 00:46:23.432
Jeez.

967
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:25.391
-Oh.

968
00:46:25.478 --> 00:46:27.785
Oh. Santa scare you there, bud?

969
00:46:27.872 --> 00:46:31.179
Oh, no, no, no. No, no. Ah.
You're gonna need to erase that.

970
00:46:31.266 --> 00:46:34.269
Oh, I'm sorry. I told you
not to sneak up on me.

971
00:46:34.356 --> 00:46:36.750
Catching this on video is like
a Christmas wish come true.

972
00:46:36.837 --> 00:46:37.969
Stop.

973
00:46:40.014 --> 00:46:43.583
Well, you, uh,
smell really nice.

974
00:46:43.670 --> 00:46:45.193
What do I smell like?

975
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:48.588
Well, like brown sugar
and cinnamon spice.

976
00:46:48.675 --> 00:46:50.024
Mm. And everything nice?

977
00:46:50.111 --> 00:46:51.504
That's a little bit
of a stretch.

978
00:46:56.335 --> 00:46:57.379
-Ah.

979
00:47:02.994 --> 00:47:06.606
Okay, sous-chef, start chopping.

980
00:47:06.693 --> 00:47:07.912
Okay.

981
00:47:33.372 --> 00:47:36.244
Oh, no, no, no, no, sous-chef.

982
00:47:36.331 --> 00:47:40.074
We still have a ton of desserts
to make and a cake to bake.

983
00:47:40.118 --> 00:47:43.904
-Desserts?
-Yeah. Desserts, for tomorrow.

984
00:47:43.991 --> 00:47:46.341
The red-velvet pie has to come
fresh from the fridge.

985
00:47:46.428 --> 00:47:48.996
And as you know,
the three milks in <i>tres leches</i>

986
00:47:49.083 --> 00:47:50.563
have to soak overnight.

987
00:47:52.608 --> 00:47:56.656
<i>♪ La-la la-la la-la-la</i>

988

Oh, it's done?

995
00:48:19.809 --> 00:48:22.203
Even better than the first one.

996
00:48:22.290 --> 00:48:23.422
Hm.

997
00:48:26.729 --> 00:48:28.253
There you are.

998
00:48:30.124 --> 00:48:33.693
-Uh, yeah.
-Uh, what are you guys doing?

999
00:48:33.780 --> 00:48:37.653
I, uh, I, I have helped Josie,
uh, burn a quiche,

1000
00:48:37.740 --> 00:48:40.961
and so now I'm helping her,
um, not burn the next one.

1001
00:48:41.048 --> 00:48:43.485
And why are you guys
doing it in robes?

1002
00:48:43.572 --> 00:48:45.357
We got sprinkled on.

1003
00:48:45.444 --> 00:48:49.535
Uh, the, the sprinklers
in the greenhouse turned on us.

1004
00:48:49.622 --> 00:48:51.624
They, I mean,
they turned on, on us.

1005
00:48:54.322 --> 00:48:58.674
Anyway, um, are there,
like, raccoons up here?

1006
00:48:58.761 --> 00:49:01.547
Something in a mask was staring
at me from my bedroom window.

1007
00:49:01.634 --> 00:49:04.550
Yeah. We do.
We have lots of raccoons.

1008
00:49:04.637 --> 00:49:07.553
Little masked
nosy little critters.

1009
00:49:07.640 --> 00:49:10.599
Like to rummage through
our trash, too.

1010
00:49:10.686 --> 00:49:13.211
Gross. Can you please make sure
it's gone?

1011
00:49:13.298 --> 00:49:15.691
Yeah, I'll, uh,
I'll go take a look.

1012
00:49:15.778 --> 00:49:17.215
Thank you.

1013
00:49:33.883 --> 00:49:35.146
Oh.

1014
00:49:36.538 --> 00:49:37.496
-Mm...
-Beautiful day.

1015
00:49:37.583 --> 00:49:38.976
Beautiful.

1016
00:49:40.412 --> 00:49:41.456
-Marla!
-Iris.

1017
00:49:41.543 --> 00:49:43.589
OMG! Look at you!

1018
00:49:43.676 --> 00:49:46.070
-Mwah. Mwah.
-It's been forever.

1019
00:49:54.121 --> 00:49:55.514
-Mm.
-Oh.

1020
00:49:55.601 --> 00:49:57.298
-Smells delicious.

1021
00:49:57.385 --> 00:49:59.866
Ooh-whee.
-Oh.

1022
00:50:02.956 --> 00:50:05.350
-Thank you.
-Ooh.

1023
00:50:07.526 --> 00:50:09.789
Oh, my...

1024
00:50:09.876 --> 00:50:12.922
Hello and welcome.
I'm Shannon Byrde.

1025
00:50:13.010 --> 00:50:14.576
And, and I see
you've already met Nolan.

1026
00:50:14.663 --> 00:50:16.796
Good morning. Thank you so much
for having us.

1027
00:50:16.883 --> 00:50:19.233
Oh, my gosh.
The pleasure is all ours, Iris.

1028
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:21.322
-Marla, good to see you again.
-Good to see you, too, Josie.

1029
00:50:21.409 --> 00:50:22.758
And so nice to meet you,
Shannon.

1030
00:50:22.845 --> 00:50:24.151
It's really nice to meet you,
too.

1031
00:50:24.238 --> 00:50:25.805
I'm sorry
your husband couldn't make it.

1032
00:50:25.892 --> 00:50:28.025
Oh, he actually had to stay
in LA, he has a deadline

1033
00:50:28.112 --> 00:50:30.070
for a holiday article himself
tomorrow, so...

1034
00:50:30.157 --> 00:50:31.985
That's too bad,
but thank you so much

1035
00:50:32.072 --> 00:50:34.596
for making the effort
to come all the way up here.

1036
00:50:34.683 --> 00:50:36.990
And I have to tell you,
I adore your podcast.

1037
00:50:37.077 --> 00:50:38.600
Oh, thank you,
it is the only place

1038
00:50:38.687 --> 00:50:40.472
that I can be
a completely unfiltered foodie.

1039
00:50:42.517 --> 00:50:44.867
And Iris Davenport.

1040
00:50:44.954 --> 00:50:47.696
Uh, this is incredible.
I... Your...

1041
00:50:47.783 --> 00:50:50.656
Your show is like
my, my everything,

1042
00:50:50.743 --> 00:50:52.179
especially
the home-and-garden segments.

1043
00:50:52.266 --> 00:50:55.487
I mean, I-I literally
have stolen ideas

1044
00:50:55.574 --> 00:50:57.445
from your onsite kitchen
for my own. I...

1045
00:50:57.489 --> 00:50:58.838
Thank you! Oh, you know...

1046
00:50:58.925 --> 00:51:00.405
I'm gonna have to borrow
some amazing ideas

1047
00:51:00.448 --> 00:51:03.060
from this bed and breakfast
for my set, too.

1048
00:51:03.147 --> 00:51:05.105
This place is darlin'.
Right, Marla?

1049
00:51:05.192 --> 00:51:07.064
-Oh, yeah.
-Oh, my goodness. Oh.

1050
00:51:07.151 --> 00:51:08.500
-This is Stu, my assistant.
-Hello.

1051
00:51:08.587 --> 00:51:10.545
And full-time photographer.
Chick-chick.

1052
00:51:10.632 --> 00:51:13.809
He'll be happy to take all your
photos for all your spreads,

1053
00:51:13.896 --> 00:51:15.942
for your menus, articles,
whatever you may need,

1054
00:51:16.029 --> 00:51:17.335
just so long as I can use them

1055
00:51:17.422 --> 00:51:19.206
for my online Christmas spread
this week.

1056
00:51:19.293 --> 00:51:20.990
Sure. Sure. Nice to meet you.

1057
00:51:21.078 --> 00:51:22.514
-Oh, nice to meet you.
-Thank you.

1058
00:51:22.601 --> 00:51:24.081
And I'm sure you guys all know
Tanner and Pepper.

1059
00:51:24.168 --> 00:51:25.908
Oh, yes.
Tanner and I go way back.

1060
00:51:25.995 --> 00:51:27.867
We've disagreed quite
a few times on our critiques

1061
00:51:27.954 --> 00:51:29.651
of new establishments.

1062
00:51:29.695 --> 00:51:32.350
But we have agreed
on so many more.

1063
00:51:32.437 --> 00:51:35.309
Okay, so what's on the agenda
for today?

1064
00:51:35.396 --> 00:51:38.921
Right. Well, food, food
and more food.

1065
00:51:39.008 --> 00:51:40.836
So I hope
you brought your appetites.

1066
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:43.361
-Yeah.
-I am so excited.

1067
00:51:43.448 --> 00:51:45.363
And I cannot wait to eat
all of the things.

1068
00:51:45.450 --> 00:51:48.279
Oh, same here. I have my pen
and paper ready to review.

1069
00:51:48.366 --> 00:51:50.455
But I only need one hand to eat,
so let's do this.

1070
00:51:58.332 --> 00:52:00.595
Mm. That candied bacon.

1071
00:52:00.682 --> 00:52:03.903
Is that brown sugar with maple

1072
00:52:03.990 --> 00:52:05.165
or, you know, is it...

1073
00:52:05.252 --> 00:52:07.776
Mm. Maybe. That's a secret, too.

1074
00:52:07.863 --> 00:52:09.517
Well, uh, even though I'm kosher

1075
00:52:09.604 --> 00:52:12.694
and I can't actually eat
the bacon, it's pretty obvious.

1076
00:52:12.781 --> 00:52:15.001
-A nose, nose, Tanner.
-So is it your first time here?

1077
00:52:15.044 --> 00:52:17.569
Ah.

1078
00:52:17.656 --> 00:52:20.093
Hey, guys, uh, Stu wanted
to take some photos.

1079
00:52:20.180 --> 00:52:23.488
-How are we looking?
-Uh, yeah.

1080
00:52:23.575 --> 00:52:25.185
-It's all yours.
Awesome. Thank you.

1081
00:52:25.272 --> 00:52:28.057
-Food looks delicious.
Hope you're hungry.

1082
00:52:28.145 --> 00:52:29.494
Oh, I can eat all day,
every day,

1083
00:52:29.581 --> 00:52:31.060
especially if it's tacos.

1084
00:52:31.148 --> 00:52:33.150
Oh. Uh, Pepper loves tacos.

1085
00:52:33.237 --> 00:52:35.587
They're, they're actually
her favorite.

1086
00:52:35.674 --> 00:52:38.720
Oh, uh, wow.
Uh, that-that's amazing.

1087
00:52:38.764 --> 00:52:40.592
Thank you
for that little tidbit.

1088
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:42.550
Yeah.

1089
00:52:42.637 --> 00:52:45.292
-Ooh. Shannon.
-Oh.

1090
00:52:45.379 --> 00:52:48.252
This looks incredible!

1091
00:52:48.339 --> 00:52:50.602
Let's just hope Mr. Stu here
got all his photos

1092
00:52:50.689 --> 00:52:51.951
'cause there's not gonna be
a shred of evidence

1093
00:52:52.038 --> 00:52:53.039
left here today.

1094
00:52:53.126 --> 00:52:54.736
Well, let's hope not.

1095
00:52:54.823 --> 00:52:56.434
Breakfast is served.

1096
00:53:03.441 --> 00:53:05.051
Mm. Thank you.

1097
00:53:37.388 --> 00:53:40.129
Do you guys really think
they enjoyed the food?

1098
00:53:40.217 --> 00:53:42.131
I mean, Marla didn't smile once.

1099
00:53:42.219 --> 00:53:46.005
She-she'd just, like, take
a bite and write something down.

1100
00:53:46.092 --> 00:53:48.312
Shannon, of course, they did.
The food is amazing.

1101
00:53:48.399 --> 00:53:50.227
Yeah. He's right, mom.
It was a total success.

1102
00:53:50.314 --> 00:53:51.358
-Really?
-Yeah.

1103
00:53:51.445 --> 00:53:52.446
-Mm-hmm.
-But it's not over yet.

1104
00:53:52.490 --> 00:53:53.491
We only have four hours

1105
00:53:53.578 --> 00:53:54.492
to prep for lunch, so...

1106
00:54:19.081 --> 00:54:20.474
Okay, Pepper, what's going on?

1107
00:54:20.561 --> 00:54:22.302
Why couldn't we talk
up at the house?

1108
00:54:22.389 --> 00:54:24.522
What's going on
between you and Josie, huh?

1109
00:54:24.609 --> 00:54:27.394
Me and Josie? Nothing.

1110
00:54:27.481 --> 00:54:29.831
Tanner, don't lie to me.

1111
00:54:29.918 --> 00:54:32.747
It's clear that you're flirting
with her. Just admit it.

1112
00:54:32.834 --> 00:54:34.227
Pepper, I know that we went out

1113
00:54:34.314 --> 00:54:35.881
on a couple of dates
back in the day,

1114
00:54:35.968 --> 00:54:37.317
but we both agreed
that on-the-job dating

1115
00:54:37.404 --> 00:54:39.058
just wasn't for us.

1116
00:54:39.145 --> 00:54:41.582
What are you even talking about?

1117
00:54:41.669 --> 00:54:42.931
I'm simply saying
that my personal life

1118
00:54:43.018 --> 00:54:44.281
is none of your business.

1119
00:54:44.368 --> 00:54:47.109
-Okay?
-This is not about you and me.

1120
00:54:47.196 --> 00:54:49.721
This is about you
and her cooking.

1121
00:54:49.808 --> 00:54:51.853
You have a Christmas column
to do, and it needs to sizzle.

1122
00:54:51.940 --> 00:54:54.508
It's not going to if you write
some heartfelt critique

1123
00:54:54.595 --> 00:54:56.423
'cause you have
some silly crush.

1124
00:54:56.510 --> 00:54:59.034
Mm-hmm, and I am going to write
a fair and honest critique

1125
00:54:59.121 --> 00:55:01.863
like I always do. There's
no conflict of interest here.

1126
00:55:01.907 --> 00:55:05.606
Tanner, really?
You've got to be kidding.

1127
00:55:05.693 --> 00:55:08.217
-Of course there is.
-The food is good.

1128
00:55:08.305 --> 00:55:09.567
I mean, there's no need for us--

1129
00:55:09.654 --> 00:55:11.133
Just think about this
for a second.

1130
00:55:11.220 --> 00:55:15.399
You write a mediocre review
at her bakery,

1131
00:55:15.486 --> 00:55:17.357
then you give her mom and her

1132
00:55:17.444 --> 00:55:19.185
a glowing review
for their new menu

1133
00:55:19.272 --> 00:55:21.796
at the same time
that you fall for her?

1134
00:55:21.883 --> 00:55:25.234
Tanner,
that's a conflict of interest.

1135
00:55:25.322 --> 00:55:30.022
We must remain objective.
Think about your career, okay?

1136
00:55:41.468 --> 00:55:44.341
Hm. Mm. Mother. Oh, my gosh.

1137
00:55:44.428 --> 00:55:47.213
You've outdone yourself.
It's never tasted better.

1138
00:55:47.300 --> 00:55:49.084
I think it's better
than dad's chili.

1139
00:55:49.171 --> 00:55:52.131
-What? No way.
-It's a tight race.

1140
00:55:52.218 --> 00:55:54.394
Uh, well, I gotta give credit

1141
00:55:54.438 --> 00:55:56.222
to the butcher
down at the Big Bear Bakery.

1142
00:55:56.309 --> 00:55:57.876
That's where I got the ham.

1143
00:55:57.963 --> 00:55:59.704
Well, it's a mighty fine ham,
ma'am.

1144
00:56:03.272 --> 00:56:05.362
Nolan, have you seen Josie?

1145
00:56:05.449 --> 00:56:07.625
Because I would really like
for her to see

1146
00:56:07.712 --> 00:56:11.150
how this young lady
is showering me with praise.

1147
00:56:11.237 --> 00:56:13.892
Yeah, you have been pretty
chipper the last couple of days.

1148
00:56:13.979 --> 00:56:15.415
What gives?

1149
00:56:15.502 --> 00:56:19.419
Nothing. I'm...
It's, it's a good day.

1150
00:56:19.463 --> 00:56:22.291
I'm just happy
to be home for the holidays.

1151
00:56:22.335 --> 00:56:24.381
-Hm.
-I'll be right back, guys.

1152
00:56:29.864 --> 00:56:32.389
He's gonna find out
about your little crush.

1153
00:56:39.787 --> 00:56:41.876
...five, six...

1154
00:56:41.963 --> 00:56:43.487
-Hey.
-Hey.

1155
00:56:43.574 --> 00:56:46.185
-You all right?
-Yeah. No, I'm good.

1156
00:56:46.272 --> 00:56:48.274
-Okay.
-Here. Let me give you a hand.

1157
00:56:52.147 --> 00:56:54.498
Psst, you-you tell me
what you and Marla

1158
00:56:54.585 --> 00:56:56.325
were whispering about
at breakfast,

1159
00:56:56.413 --> 00:56:58.327
and I'll make you
one of my famous pies

1160
00:56:58.415 --> 00:57:01.330
to take home to your parents
for Christmas.

1161
00:57:01.418 --> 00:57:03.898
Well, it was a debate
over the candied bacon.

1162
00:57:03.985 --> 00:57:05.596
She was convinced
that it was a maple sugar glaze,

1163
00:57:05.683 --> 00:57:07.511
but I know
there's more to it than that.

1164
00:57:07.598 --> 00:57:10.252
Ah, well, a chef never reveals

1165
00:57:10.339 --> 00:57:12.124
her best-kept
holiday secret ingredients.

1166
00:57:12.211 --> 00:57:14.169
Ah, and a good critic
always figures it out

1167
00:57:14.256 --> 00:57:15.301
before the final act.

1168
00:57:17.608 --> 00:57:20.480
If you figure out
the secret ingredient in either,

1169
00:57:20.567 --> 00:57:22.308
I'll make you free desserts
for a whole year.

1170
00:57:22.395 --> 00:57:24.310
Huh, are we talking
Byrde's Bistro desserts

1171
00:57:24.397 --> 00:57:26.094
or are we talking
Byrde's Bakery's?

1172
00:57:26.181 --> 00:57:28.314
Ouch.

1173
00:58:15.143 --> 00:58:16.971
I think
I wanna get married here.

1174
00:58:17.058 --> 00:58:19.060
During the summertime,
of course, not now.

1175
00:58:19.104 --> 00:58:22.194
Well, shouldn't your, uh, <i>fiance
have a say in that?</i>

1176
00:58:22.281 --> 00:58:25.153
Once he tries the food,
he won't be able to say no.

1177
00:58:25.240 --> 00:58:26.720
Wait, I didn't know
that you were engaged.

1178
00:58:29.157 --> 00:58:31.856
But, you know,
love is out there.

1179
00:58:31.943 --> 00:58:34.641
Well, this is a great place
to get married.

1180
00:58:34.728 --> 00:58:37.601
I was even thinking of having
Josie and Shannon on my show.

1181
00:58:37.688 --> 00:58:40.386
Mother and daughter chef.
My audience would eat that up.

1182
00:58:40.473 --> 00:58:42.823
How darlin' is that?
Stu, what do you think?

1183
00:58:42.867 --> 00:58:44.912
Uh...

1184
00:58:44.999 --> 00:58:46.827
Oh, I think I'm getting
really hungry right now.

1185
00:58:46.914 --> 00:58:51.528
Ooh-whee!
This looks incredible!

1186
00:58:51.615 --> 00:58:55.227
Now, what is that,
like a, like a cranberry sauce?

1187
00:58:55.314 --> 00:58:58.143
That is my cranberry caramelized
onion jam.

1188
00:58:58.230 --> 00:59:00.493
-With a hint of pepper.
-Hm.

1189
00:59:00.580 --> 00:59:03.278
It makes
our holiday ham sandwich pop.

1190
00:59:03.365 --> 00:59:04.802
Oh. You had me
at holiday ham.

1191
00:59:04.889 --> 00:59:06.978
-Yeah.

1192
00:59:07.065 --> 00:59:08.501
Who doesn't love
a bit of pepper?

1193
00:59:08.588 --> 00:59:10.547
Uh, but what's this
here on the side?

1194
00:59:10.634 --> 00:59:14.768
That is our festive Christmas
cold cucumber and tomato salad.

1195
00:59:14.855 --> 00:59:16.291
-Ooh.
-Right?

1196
00:59:16.378 --> 00:59:18.337
See, not everything on the menu
is super heavy.

1197
00:59:18.424 --> 00:59:21.209
-And it's vegan.
-Wow! Whoo.

1198
00:59:21.296 --> 00:59:23.429
Getting your healthy greens
in here as well?

1199
00:59:23.516 --> 00:59:25.039
Yes. Bravo.

1200
00:59:25.126 --> 00:59:26.388
Well, I do love
a good vegan dish,

1201
00:59:26.475 --> 00:59:28.260
but sadly I cannot partake

1202
00:59:28.347 --> 00:59:31.263
in this amazing-looking
maple-honey-glazed ham either.

1203
00:59:31.306 --> 00:59:33.308
Uh, that is why we made you
a special slab

1204
00:59:33.395 --> 00:59:35.441
of honey-maple-glazed duck.

1205
00:59:35.528 --> 00:59:38.531
Oh. Be still my heart.
I love you both.

1206
00:59:39.488 --> 00:59:41.099
All right. Dig in.

1207
00:59:45.799 --> 00:59:47.671
-Stu, you wanna..
-Yeah, sure.

1208
00:59:54.939 --> 00:59:57.028
I'm sorry for reaching.
Hey. Just a little...

1209
00:59:57.115 --> 00:59:59.421
-Oh.
-Yeah.

1210
00:59:59.508 --> 01:00:00.945
-Thanks.
-Yeah.

1211
01:00:04.339 --> 01:00:05.776
You're not hungry?

1212
01:00:05.863 --> 01:00:08.953
It's a little too, uh, sweet
for me.

1213
01:00:12.783 --> 01:00:15.263
-Oh. You don't have to do that.
-Oh, no, it's fine.

1214
01:00:15.350 --> 01:00:16.874
Uh, your mother's actually
having an intensive

1215
01:00:16.961 --> 01:00:18.223
cooking conversation with Marla

1216
01:00:18.310 --> 01:00:20.268
about vegan and kosher dishes,

1217
01:00:20.355 --> 01:00:22.227
uh, neither of which
sound appealing to me.

1218
01:00:24.621 --> 01:00:27.232
So, um, what are the rest
of your holiday plans?

1219
01:00:27.319 --> 01:00:30.017
Oh, yeah, um, I was gonna
drive late tomorrow night

1220
01:00:30.104 --> 01:00:32.063
to Orange County to spend
Christmas Eve with my parents

1221
01:00:32.150 --> 01:00:35.109
and then Christmas Day,
get some lunch.

1222
01:00:35.196 --> 01:00:37.677
But my parents aren't really
foodies like me, so...

1223
01:00:37.764 --> 01:00:39.940
Oh. Find that hard to believe.

1224
01:00:40.027 --> 01:00:41.376
Yeah, actually,
I never even really knew

1225
01:00:41.463 --> 01:00:43.248
what good food was growing up.

1226
01:00:43.335 --> 01:00:44.858
My mother
just wasn't really into cooking

1227
01:00:44.945 --> 01:00:46.599
and my dad had reflux issues,

1228
01:00:46.686 --> 01:00:47.687
so my mom just made everything

1229
01:00:47.774 --> 01:00:49.558
super plain and super boring.

1230
01:00:49.646 --> 01:00:52.692
And then neither of them
really wanted to go out to eat.

1231
01:00:52.736 --> 01:00:55.608
And so when I went to college
in Chicago,

1232
01:00:55.695 --> 01:00:57.610
I finally got to see
what a real restaurant was.

1233
01:00:57.697 --> 01:01:00.265
-I was in a whole new world.
-Wow.

1234
01:01:00.352 --> 01:01:01.875
Well, Chicago's a good place
to start.

1235
01:01:01.962 --> 01:01:05.009
It has great restaurants
and deep-dish pizza.

1236
01:01:05.096 --> 01:01:07.228
Yeah, my, uh, freshmen
15 pounds

1237
01:01:07.315 --> 01:01:09.230
actually was
from deep-dish pizza.

1238
01:01:09.317 --> 01:01:11.842
-Thank you very much.

1239
01:01:11.929 --> 01:01:14.496
So you're gonna take off
in the morning, then?

1240
01:01:14.583 --> 01:01:18.109
Yeah, um, but when we're back
in the city,

1241
01:01:18.196 --> 01:01:20.502
I was, I was hoping
to see you again,

1242
01:01:20.589 --> 01:01:23.462
uh, if you, if you'd like.

1243
01:01:23.549 --> 01:01:25.899
Yeah. I think I would like that.

1244
01:01:25.986 --> 01:01:30.251
Uh, Josie, listen, um, there's
something I need to tell you.

1245
01:01:30.295 --> 01:01:33.777
-The review for your bistro--
-Oh, look.

1246
01:01:33.864 --> 01:01:35.822
I just want you to be fair.

1247
01:01:35.909 --> 01:01:40.479
And I know you love the food
and you like us,

1248
01:01:40.566 --> 01:01:42.394
but what's fair is fair.

1249
01:01:47.094 --> 01:01:49.575
I, um... Sorry, I didn't meant
to interrupt.

1250
01:01:49.662 --> 01:01:51.577
Nope, you're good.

1251
01:01:55.537 --> 01:01:58.540
-Did you, um--
-Nolan and I used to date.

1252
01:01:58.627 --> 01:02:00.368
In school.
It was a long time ago.

1253
01:02:00.455 --> 01:02:02.501
But, um, we're just friends now.

1254
01:02:02.588 --> 01:02:04.895
Yeah. No, I mean,
I totally get it.

1255
01:02:04.982 --> 01:02:07.593
Yeah.
He seems like a real nice guy.

1256
01:02:07.680 --> 01:02:10.074
He is. He's more like family.

1257
01:02:11.510 --> 01:02:14.992
Well, uh,
I think lunch was a hit.

1258
01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:16.471
Tanner, how did you fare?

1259
01:02:16.558 --> 01:02:17.951
Five stars, Mrs. Byrde.

1260
01:02:18.038 --> 01:02:20.214
Five stars. Call me Shannon.

1261
01:02:20.301 --> 01:02:22.739
I think it's time to start
the main event.

1262
01:02:22.826 --> 01:02:24.697
Hm.

1263
01:02:24.784 --> 01:02:28.092
Oh, I'll, uh, I'll be...
Shannon.

1264
01:02:39.407 --> 01:02:40.669
Let me guess.

1265
01:02:40.757 --> 01:02:41.758
Were you just, like, out here

1266
01:02:41.845 --> 01:02:43.063
waiting for me to get back?

1267
01:02:43.150 --> 01:02:44.761
Oh. How did you know?

1268
01:02:44.848 --> 01:02:47.720
Yeah, I was... That's exactly
what I was doing.

1269
01:02:47.807 --> 01:02:49.156
No, I'm just kidding.

1270
01:02:49.243 --> 01:02:50.288
I was looking at some photos

1271
01:02:50.375 --> 01:02:51.768
from breakfast and lunch.

1272
01:02:51.855 --> 01:02:53.857
Got some great ones of you.
You wanna see?

1273
01:02:53.944 --> 01:02:56.294
-Ah. Sure.
-Yeah?

1274
01:02:56.381 --> 01:02:57.904
Okay.

1275
01:02:57.991 --> 01:03:00.385
Well, that's a,
that's a good one of Iris.

1276
01:03:00.472 --> 01:03:02.082
She's so cute.

1277
01:03:02.169 --> 01:03:04.258
There you are.

1278
01:03:04.345 --> 01:03:05.825
Yeah. They're all right.

1279
01:03:05.912 --> 01:03:07.871
No, that's,
that's the money shot.

1280
01:03:07.958 --> 01:03:10.395
I'm telling you.
This is a money shot.

1281
01:03:10.482 --> 01:03:11.875
Here. I got another one.

1282
01:03:17.184 --> 01:03:20.927
Oh, beautiful.
That looks beautiful.

1283
01:03:21.014 --> 01:03:24.278
-You look dapper, Nolan.
-Thank you, Shannon.

1284
01:03:24.365 --> 01:03:26.106
The, uh, holiday sangria
is ready to go.

1285
01:03:26.193 --> 01:03:27.760
Excellent. So is this.

1286
01:03:27.847 --> 01:03:30.197
Um, can you temp this with foil
so we can go get ready?

1287
01:03:30.284 --> 01:03:31.677
Yeah. Sure.

1288
01:03:42.906 --> 01:03:44.168
-Hold up.
-Wow.

1289
01:03:44.211 --> 01:03:45.473
You chose the wrong career path.

1290
01:03:45.560 --> 01:03:47.214
America's next supermodel.

1291
01:03:47.258 --> 01:03:48.955
You're too sweet.

1292
01:03:49.042 --> 01:03:51.262
-You look beautiful.
-You cleaned up well yourself.

1293
01:03:51.349 --> 01:03:54.961
Thank you.
-Oh, I love your dress!

1294
01:03:55.048 --> 01:03:57.572
We seriously have to go shopping
after this.

1295
01:03:57.659 --> 01:03:59.357
Do you do Rodeo
after Christmas sales?

1296
01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:00.924
It's the only time I do Rodeo.

1297
01:04:01.011 --> 01:04:03.927
Okay. Wow! We should be throwing
a gala tonight.

1298
01:04:04.014 --> 01:04:06.494
What are we gonna do if we get
food all over these clothes?

1299
01:04:06.581 --> 01:04:09.019
Oh, we'll just shoot the photos
before. Not a problem.

1300
01:04:09.106 --> 01:04:12.413
Welcome, esteemed guests.

1301
01:04:12.457 --> 01:04:14.111
Please make your way
into the bistro dining room

1302
01:04:14.154 --> 01:04:17.723
and join us for our first
official Christmas cuisine.

1303
01:04:17.810 --> 01:04:20.073
-Mm, thank you.
-I'm excited.

1304
01:04:20.117 --> 01:04:22.336
-Thank you.
-Escort me.

1305
01:04:24.121 --> 01:04:26.384
Here we have
our warm winter salad.

1306
01:04:26.471 --> 01:04:30.083
We have our sun-dried tomatoes,
peas and potatoes casserole.

1307
01:04:30.127 --> 01:04:33.043
And our vegan delight,
sweet-potato pot pie.

1308
01:04:33.130 --> 01:04:35.436
And while our menu
will change annually,

1309
01:04:35.523 --> 01:04:38.700
each holiday season
we will have one <i>entree</i> special

1310
01:04:38.744 --> 01:04:40.137
in addition to the dessert menu.

1311
01:04:40.224 --> 01:04:41.965
There will be a staple.

1312
01:04:42.052 --> 01:04:45.359
Our tasty turkey tenderloin

1313
01:04:45.446 --> 01:04:48.928
stuffed with sweetbread stuffing
and bone-marrow gravy.

1314
01:04:49.015 --> 01:04:50.799
Wow.
-Okay. That sounds great.

1315
01:04:50.843 --> 01:04:54.064
I'll try not to salivate
while I take these photos.

1316
01:04:54.151 --> 01:04:56.066
Oh, uh, Nolan,
could you get the Sangria?

1317
01:04:56.109 --> 01:04:57.981
-Oh, I'll help.
-Oh, wait.

1318
01:04:58.024 --> 01:05:00.157
Before you go, I just wanna get
one group photo.

1319
01:05:00.244 --> 01:05:01.288
Oh. Mm-hmm.
-Sounds good?

1320
01:05:01.332 --> 01:05:02.507
Okay. On the count of three.

1321
01:05:02.594 --> 01:05:04.335
-Uh, say cheesecake.
-Okay.

1322
01:05:04.422 --> 01:05:06.815
One, two, three.

1323
01:05:06.903 --> 01:05:08.948
Cheesecake.

1324
01:05:09.035 --> 01:05:11.646
-Okay, everyone.

1325
01:05:11.733 --> 01:05:13.518
Sharing time.

1326
01:05:13.605 --> 01:05:15.999
We would like to know
the most memorable

1327
01:05:16.086 --> 01:05:18.001
Christmas cuisine story.

1328
01:05:18.088 --> 01:05:20.307
-Mm.
-Who'd like to go first?

1329
01:05:20.394 --> 01:05:23.441
-Anyone? No pressure.
-Josie, you go.

1330
01:05:24.181 --> 01:05:25.138
Mm.

1331
01:05:25.225 --> 01:05:27.924
Thank you, mom.

1332
01:05:28.011 --> 01:05:30.839
Um, I guess I have one
that takes place

1333
01:05:30.927 --> 01:05:32.102
right here at the B&B.

1334
01:05:32.189 --> 01:05:34.408
-Oh.
-So when I was a little girl...

1335
01:05:34.495 --> 01:05:37.150
Um, I was too young
to buy my parents gifts,

1336
01:05:37.237 --> 01:05:39.370
so I used to bake them things

1337
01:05:39.457 --> 01:05:41.285
and then, um,
I would wrap them up.

1338
01:05:41.372 --> 01:05:43.678
I think one year,
maybe I was nine,

1339
01:05:43.722 --> 01:05:47.639
and I made these
beautiful eggnog pudding cups

1340
01:05:47.726 --> 01:05:49.684
and I wrapped them up

1341
01:05:49.771 --> 01:05:52.470
and I gave them to my parents
on Christmas Eve.

1342
01:05:52.557 --> 01:05:56.561
And my dad was so excited he was
finally getting a gift from me

1343
01:05:56.648 --> 01:06:00.608
that he, he shook it very hard
just to see what was inside

1344
01:06:00.695 --> 01:06:02.871
and the pudding exploded
and went all over the foyer.

1345
01:06:02.959 --> 01:06:04.308
Oh.

1346
01:06:04.395 --> 01:06:07.659
She cried all night long.

1347
01:06:07.746 --> 01:06:08.877
All right, mother. You go.

1348
01:06:08.965 --> 01:06:11.228
-Ah. My turn.
Yes.

1349
01:06:11.315 --> 01:06:16.363
Um, I think my favorite
Christmas cuisine story

1350
01:06:16.450 --> 01:06:20.193
is the first year that you could
help your dad in the kitchen.

1351
01:06:20.280 --> 01:06:22.195
And very much like her dad...

1352
01:06:23.240 --> 01:06:25.198
...she threw food everywhere

1353
01:06:25.285 --> 01:06:27.940
and the kitchen was such a mess.

1354
01:06:28.027 --> 01:06:30.116
And, actually,
if you all take a look

1355
01:06:30.203 --> 01:06:31.770
at the kitchen right now,

1356
01:06:31.857 --> 01:06:34.642
you'll see that things
haven't really changed much

1357
01:06:34.729 --> 01:06:37.210
all these years later,
but it's so delicious.

1358
01:06:37.297 --> 01:06:38.951
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

1359
01:06:39.038 --> 01:06:41.301
Okay, wait. I have one.

1360
01:06:41.388 --> 01:06:46.089
So, um, my parents
absolutely love Christmas,

1361
01:06:46.176 --> 01:06:50.354
it was their thing, so we would
do this big dinner every year

1362
01:06:50.441 --> 01:06:53.052
after our church
Christmas service,

1363
01:06:53.139 --> 01:06:55.098
where I would sing, of course.

1364
01:06:55.185 --> 01:07:00.103
And, uh,
there is this one Christmas

1365
01:07:00.190 --> 01:07:01.582
where there was this little kid

1366
01:07:01.626 --> 01:07:03.802
that found a wishbone
in his turkey.

1367
01:07:03.889 --> 01:07:05.412
He got so grossed out
that he just,

1368
01:07:05.456 --> 01:07:07.762
pop, threw that thing
right on my head.

1369
01:07:07.849 --> 01:07:08.981
-No, you didn't.

1370
01:07:09.068 --> 01:07:11.157
I'm not kidding,
he literally hit me

1371
01:07:11.244 --> 01:07:12.724
as I was singing
in the parish hall.

1372
01:07:14.247 --> 01:07:17.816
-My only Christmas wishbone.
-Shut up, Stu.

1373
01:07:17.903 --> 01:07:20.210
Uh, what about you, Tanner?
Tanner, what about you?

1374
01:07:20.297 --> 01:07:22.777
You must have some interesting
Christmas cuisine stories

1375
01:07:22.864 --> 01:07:23.996
with all of your travels, right?

1376
01:07:24.083 --> 01:07:25.650
Uh...

1377
01:07:25.737 --> 01:07:27.478
Spill it.
-Go on.

1378
01:07:27.565 --> 01:07:30.046
Uh, no, honestly. Not really.

1379
01:07:30.089 --> 01:07:32.396
Um, most of my Christmases now

1380
01:07:32.483 --> 01:07:33.962
are spent with my parents
in the OC

1381
01:07:34.050 --> 01:07:36.704
at some
fancy seafood restaurants

1382
01:07:36.791 --> 01:07:39.664
'cause it's the only time I can
actually get them to go out.

1383
01:07:39.751 --> 01:07:43.407
Um, um, but honestly, uh,

1384
01:07:43.494 --> 01:07:47.454
I think that, uh, this Christmas
will be the one to beat.

1385
01:07:47.541 --> 01:07:51.458
Just being here with, uh,
with you guys.

1386
01:07:51.502 --> 01:07:53.591
-Cheers.
Cheers to that.

1387
01:07:57.421 --> 01:08:01.207
A-and what about you?
Pepper, do you have a story?

1388
01:08:01.294 --> 01:08:03.514
Um...

1389
01:08:03.601 --> 01:08:05.820
You know what, I'm sorry,
I think I'm gonna have to pass.

1390
01:08:05.907 --> 01:08:07.083
I'm not feeling too well.

1391
01:08:07.170 --> 01:08:09.302
I think I had too much to eat
earlier.

1392
01:08:09.346 --> 01:08:10.695
What are you talking about?

1393
01:08:10.782 --> 01:08:11.826
Sweetie, you barely
touched your lunch.

1394
01:08:11.913 --> 01:08:13.611
Yeah, I went for a jog

1395
01:08:13.698 --> 01:08:15.395
and I don't, I don't think
it's sitting well.

1396
01:08:15.482 --> 01:08:19.095
-Um, if you would all excuse me.
-Of course.

1397
01:08:24.752 --> 01:08:26.928
Well, all right,
then I guess I'll go.

1398
01:08:27.015 --> 01:08:29.017
Have I shared my favorite

1399
01:08:29.061 --> 01:08:31.846
Hanukkah cuisine story
with you all?

1400
01:08:31.890 --> 01:08:33.152
Yes, you have.
Well...

1401
01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:34.980
-I'm gonna tell you again.

1402
01:08:41.465 --> 01:08:43.336
So what do you think?
How's it going?

1403
01:08:43.423 --> 01:08:45.251
Mom, I think this bistro's
gonna be a huge hit.

1404
01:08:45.338 --> 01:08:46.557
-Really?
-You heard Iris.

1405
01:08:46.644 --> 01:08:48.428
She wants to invite us
onto her show.

1406
01:08:48.515 --> 01:08:50.517
You know millions of people
watch her show every morning.

1407
01:08:50.561 --> 01:08:51.562
-Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God.

1408
01:08:51.649 --> 01:08:55.696
I'm so, uh, uh, thankful.

1409
01:08:55.783 --> 01:08:57.611
So thankful for
a wonderful daughter like you.

1410
01:08:57.698 --> 01:08:59.874
I love you, mama.

1411
01:08:59.918 --> 01:09:01.485
Now they just have to fall
in love with our desserts.

1412
01:09:01.528 --> 01:09:03.313
Oh. Okay.

1413
01:09:06.403 --> 01:09:08.970
Mum, my whipped cream
is missing.

1414
01:09:09.057 --> 01:09:12.017
-Did you do something with it?
-No.

1415
01:09:13.279 --> 01:09:15.412
Mum, it's not here.

1416
01:09:15.455 --> 01:09:18.328
I need it for the pie
and the cake, it's imperative.

1417
01:09:18.371 --> 01:09:19.981
Also, the strawberries are gone!

1418
01:09:20.068 --> 01:09:21.983
Sweetie, calm down,
I-I've got another carton

1419
01:09:22.070 --> 01:09:25.161
of strawberries, and-and
we'll just whip more cream.

1420
01:09:25.248 --> 01:09:29.817
No, we, we can't whip up
more cream, mum. I...

1421
01:09:29.904 --> 01:09:31.167
I wasn't anticipating
extra guests

1422
01:09:31.210 --> 01:09:33.865
and I, I didn't bring any more

1423
01:09:33.908 --> 01:09:37.129
of the Mexican vanilla bean
from LA. I...

1424
01:09:37.216 --> 01:09:40.088
-It's the most important part.
-Okay.

1425
01:09:40.176 --> 01:09:44.049
Well, we'll-we'll fix it.
We'll figure this out.

1426
01:09:45.224 --> 01:09:47.183
No, it's useless.

1427
01:09:48.836 --> 01:09:50.534
How's this happening?

1428
01:09:52.884 --> 01:09:54.755
Whipped cream in a can?

1429
01:10:18.910 --> 01:10:21.782
Hey. We're about to have
some dessert.

1430
01:10:21.826 --> 01:10:23.001
Uh, you wanna come join us?

1431
01:10:23.088 --> 01:10:24.916
I'm not hungry.

1432
01:10:26.004 --> 01:10:28.398
Pepper, uh, listen.

1433
01:10:28.485 --> 01:10:29.964
I'll write
a fair and honest critique

1434
01:10:30.051 --> 01:10:32.184
that will make everyone happy,
all right?

1435
01:10:32.271 --> 01:10:33.751
Including you.

1436
01:10:41.976 --> 01:10:44.283
And just remember
that I have final edit.

1437
01:10:44.370 --> 01:10:45.502
I have to be fair to our readers

1438
01:10:45.589 --> 01:10:46.938
when there's
a conflict of interest.

1439
01:10:46.981 --> 01:10:49.680
Fine. I won't review the cuisine
here at all.

1440
01:10:49.767 --> 01:10:53.031
You promised me a holiday
critique that would sizzle.

1441
01:10:53.118 --> 01:10:54.815
If you can't deliver, trust me,

1442
01:10:54.902 --> 01:10:57.731
I tried all the food as well,
I will.

1443
01:10:57.818 --> 01:11:00.212
So what, hm, you're
just gonna lie about the food,

1444
01:11:00.299 --> 01:11:02.475
and skirt over the fact that
it's surprisingly quite good?

1445
01:11:02.562 --> 01:11:06.349
No, no,
I'll tell everyone the truth,

1446
01:11:06.436 --> 01:11:09.656
that the tasty comfort menu here
is neither healthy nor friendly

1447
01:11:09.700 --> 01:11:11.484
to those with dietary needs.

1448
01:11:13.051 --> 01:11:16.141
Wow, is that really
what you think?

1449
01:11:18.491 --> 01:11:21.364
-Was this you?

1450
01:11:21.407 --> 01:11:23.975
Well, you didn't seem to mind
our tasty comfort menu

1451
01:11:24.062 --> 01:11:27.195
when you ate all
of my homemade whipped cream.

1452
01:11:27.283 --> 01:11:29.807
You've ruined
my entire dessert menu.

1453
01:11:31.896 --> 01:11:33.637
-Josie, we can explain--
-And what?

1454
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:36.204
You, you were just gonna give us
a bad review

1455
01:11:36.292 --> 01:11:38.381
before even trying
the food here?

1456
01:11:38.424 --> 01:11:40.600
-No, Josie, that's not what--
-Tanner, stop.

1457
01:11:40.687 --> 01:11:42.863
Look, I don't know what
either of you were planning,

1458
01:11:42.950 --> 01:11:46.127
but I should have trusted my gut
from the beginning.

1459
01:11:46.214 --> 01:11:48.478
You weren't invited here
to critique my mom's bistro,

1460
01:11:48.565 --> 01:11:50.349
so I would appreciate it
if you kept our names

1461
01:11:50.393 --> 01:11:53.178
out of your publication
entirely.

1462
01:11:53.265 --> 01:11:54.571
Josie, please. Let me explain.
I can...

1463
01:11:54.658 --> 01:11:56.703
I forgot, we-we do actually have

1464
01:11:56.790 --> 01:12:00.925
two new arrivals coming
in the morning and, um,

1465
01:12:01.012 --> 01:12:04.798
Marla and Iris have decided
to stay through Christmas Eve,

1466
01:12:04.885 --> 01:12:07.932
so if you could just, um,

1467
01:12:08.019 --> 01:12:12.328
check out by 11:00, pl-please.

1468
01:12:14.199 --> 01:12:17.245
I'm sorry
about the whipped cream.

1469
01:12:17.333 --> 01:12:21.075
Wow. I had no idea
she would take it that hard.

1470
01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:23.861
-It's just one online review.
-Yeah, Pepper.

1471
01:12:23.948 --> 01:12:27.604
Because you don't think
about anyone except for you.

1472
01:12:27.691 --> 01:12:31.651
When we get back to work,
things are gonna change. Okay?

1473
01:12:32.217 --> 01:12:33.653
I'm done.

1474
01:12:39.093 --> 01:12:40.704
Thank you.

1475
01:12:42.706 --> 01:12:44.011
-Are they coming?
-No.

1476
01:12:44.098 --> 01:12:46.362
It's just us, I'm afraid.

1477
01:12:46.449 --> 01:12:50.104
Uh, is this, uh, whipped cream
from a can?

1478
01:12:50.191 --> 01:12:51.410
Actually, it is.

1479
01:12:51.454 --> 01:12:52.890
We had an incident

1480
01:12:52.933 --> 01:12:54.935
and my homemade
vanilla-bean whipped cream

1481
01:12:55.022 --> 01:12:56.981
won't be making an appearance
this Christmas.

1482
01:12:57.068 --> 01:12:58.461
That's okay, dear.

1483
01:12:58.548 --> 01:13:02.726
Sometimes we just have to,
mm, improvise.

1484
01:13:02.813 --> 01:13:04.641
Right?
-Thanks.

1485
01:13:04.728 --> 01:13:06.686
Uh, well, um,

1486
01:13:06.773 --> 01:13:10.777
the snickerdoodle with pralines
and cream looks beautiful,

1487
01:13:10.821 --> 01:13:12.953
uh, but it's hard to critique
a dessert

1488
01:13:13.040 --> 01:13:15.260
that's not really there,
you know?

1489
01:13:15.347 --> 01:13:17.088
Of course, Marla,
we understand.

1490
01:13:19.264 --> 01:13:20.570
Mm.

1491
01:13:22.223 --> 01:13:24.269
-Mm-hmm.
-Mm.

1492
01:13:24.356 --> 01:13:26.140
-This is actually quite good.
-Wow.

1493
01:13:26.227 --> 01:13:28.316
This is really,
really fantastic.

1494
01:13:28.404 --> 01:13:29.579
Yeah.

1495
01:13:32.408 --> 01:13:34.148
I really hate to say this,

1496
01:13:34.192 --> 01:13:37.978
but despite
the store-bought cream,

1497
01:13:38.065 --> 01:13:39.893
I can still totally see
the potential

1498
01:13:39.980 --> 01:13:41.504
in both of these desserts.

1499
01:13:41.547 --> 01:13:43.810
You two will have a hit bistro
on your hands.

1500
01:13:43.854 --> 01:13:45.682
-Seriously?
Absolutely.

1501
01:13:45.769 --> 01:13:49.120
I can't wait to come back
next year to try the real deal.

1502
01:13:49.163 --> 01:13:52.253
Oh. Seriously,
this is to die for.

1503
01:13:52.340 --> 01:13:53.820
-Congratulations.
-Mm.

1504
01:13:53.907 --> 01:13:55.300
Can we have seconds?

1505
01:14:09.314 --> 01:14:11.142
What have I done?

1506
01:14:12.796 --> 01:14:14.798
Girl, it's nothin'
you can't fix.

1507
01:14:16.103 --> 01:14:19.280
It's Christmas time. Remember?

1508
01:14:57.057 --> 01:14:58.276
Good morning.

1509
01:14:58.363 --> 01:15:00.365
Have you seen Josie by chance?

1510
01:15:06.371 --> 01:15:07.503
Pepper...

1511
01:15:10.070 --> 01:15:13.073
Josie told me what happened.

1512
01:15:13.117 --> 01:15:15.293
I understand
that you have a job to do,

1513
01:15:15.380 --> 01:15:17.730
but leave Josie's name
out of it.

1514
01:15:17.774 --> 01:15:19.515
Shannon, I am sorry.

1515
01:15:19.602 --> 01:15:21.734
You have been so sweet
to let us stay here.

1516
01:15:21.778 --> 01:15:23.954
There won't be a bad review.

1517
01:15:24.041 --> 01:15:28.132
Your food is good.
Great, really.

1518
01:15:28.219 --> 01:15:30.613
It's me who needs a bad review.

1519
01:15:30.700 --> 01:15:32.440
Anyways,
I'm gonna go talk to her

1520
01:15:32.528 --> 01:15:34.617
before I leave,
if that's all right with you.

1521
01:15:34.704 --> 01:15:36.532
She's around the corner.

1522
01:15:37.924 --> 01:15:39.230
Thank you.

1523
01:15:44.627 --> 01:15:46.977
Josie, hi.

1524
01:15:47.064 --> 01:15:49.370
Can we talk for a sec?

1525
01:15:49.457 --> 01:15:52.373
Where do I start? Um...

1526
01:15:52.417 --> 01:15:55.420
I want to say I'm sorry.

1527
01:15:55.507 --> 01:15:57.204
I came here with this whole idea
in my head

1528
01:15:57.291 --> 01:15:59.990
of having a romantic,
cozy Christmas with Tanner,

1529
01:16:00.077 --> 01:16:02.819
and I got here and I realized

1530
01:16:02.906 --> 01:16:05.125
he was already having one
with you.

1531
01:16:05.169 --> 01:16:07.563
I'm used
to getting my way.

1532
01:16:07.650 --> 01:16:11.741
I was a brat and I lashed out,
and that was wrong.

1533
01:16:12.916 --> 01:16:15.483
Just know that it is my fault.

1534
01:16:15.527 --> 01:16:17.137
Tanner did not wanna write
a bad review

1535
01:16:17.181 --> 01:16:19.487
for your bistro, seriously.

1536
01:16:19.575 --> 01:16:24.797
Tanner wrote and approved
that first review, didn't he?

1537
01:16:24.841 --> 01:16:27.191
So how do I know
he would've done differently?

1538
01:16:27.278 --> 01:16:32.109
I don't really know,
but it's Christmas.

1539
01:16:32.196 --> 01:16:34.372
Time to start believing
we can be better,

1540
01:16:34.459 --> 01:16:36.679
do better, right?

1541
01:16:36.766 --> 01:16:38.811
He's a good guy, Josie.

1542
01:16:38.898 --> 01:16:40.596
Don't throw away
what you guys have started

1543
01:16:40.683 --> 01:16:43.599
based on one mistake he made
when he barely knew you.

1544
01:16:45.122 --> 01:16:47.472
If you do, down the road
you may realize

1545
01:16:47.559 --> 01:16:49.126
this one's on you.

1546
01:16:58.396 --> 01:16:59.789
Thank you.

1547
01:17:06.360 --> 01:17:07.492
Hey.

1548
01:17:08.362 --> 01:17:09.929
Were you just, uh,

1549
01:17:10.016 --> 01:17:11.539
out here waiting for me
to come back or...

1550
01:17:11.627 --> 01:17:13.324
-What?

1551
01:17:13.411 --> 01:17:16.501
Yeah, I'm actually
trying to call a car.

1552
01:17:16.544 --> 01:17:17.894
But I'm not having any luck.

1553
01:17:17.981 --> 01:17:20.200
Guess since it's Christmas Eve.

1554
01:17:20.287 --> 01:17:22.246
Oh, well, uh, I'm actually

1555
01:17:22.333 --> 01:17:24.335
headed back to, uh, LA
if you need a ride.

1556
01:17:24.378 --> 01:17:26.250
You're not staying
for the eating,

1557
01:17:26.337 --> 01:17:27.947
singing and Secret Santa?

1558
01:17:28.034 --> 01:17:29.645
Nah, I don't like the food
too much.

1559
01:17:29.732 --> 01:17:31.908
And just Iris is staying,

1560
01:17:31.995 --> 01:17:33.910
and Marla's husband's
coming back out.

1561
01:17:33.997 --> 01:17:35.563
And I got a bunch of neighbors

1562
01:17:35.651 --> 01:17:38.175
waiting for me for a cookout
down the hill, so, uh...

1563
01:17:38.218 --> 01:17:40.525
And a ton of photos
to go through.

1564
01:17:40.612 --> 01:17:41.831
Well, if you're sure
you don't mind...

1565
01:17:41.918 --> 01:17:43.789
And if you join me
for Christmas?

1566
01:17:43.876 --> 01:17:45.791
Absolutely not.
Hey, why don't I get your bags?

1567
01:17:45.878 --> 01:17:47.663
How about we see
how the drive goes?

1568
01:17:47.750 --> 01:17:51.188
Ah. Drive first.
Ah, okay, well, what?

1569
01:17:51.275 --> 01:17:53.756
You got, you got something,
uh, better to do for Christmas?

1570
01:17:53.799 --> 01:17:57.150
-Actually, no, I don't.
-Ah, hop on in, my lady.

1571
01:18:03.809 --> 01:18:06.203
-Morning.
-Morning.

1572
01:18:06.290 --> 01:18:07.944
Hey, uh...

1573
01:18:08.031 --> 01:18:10.773
That guy is not too smart
walking away from you, you know?

1574
01:18:10.860 --> 01:18:15.386
Oh, uh, I'm not really sure
I gave him much of a choice.

1575
01:18:15.429 --> 01:18:18.737
But thank you for saying that.

1576
01:18:18.781 --> 01:18:20.217
Nolan, you-you really are, uh--

1577
01:18:20.260 --> 01:18:23.916
We're family.
That's what we are.

1578
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:27.137
I just,
I want you to be happy, Josie.

1579
01:18:27.224 --> 01:18:29.269
I want that for you, too.

1580
01:18:29.313 --> 01:18:30.749
-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.

1581
01:18:30.793 --> 01:18:34.144
-Yeah. Come here.

1582
01:18:34.231 --> 01:18:35.580
-Mm.

1583
01:18:35.623 --> 01:18:36.755
-Oh.

1584
01:18:36.842 --> 01:18:38.278
That must be Marla's husband.

1585
01:18:38.322 --> 01:18:40.585
Oh, I hope he's hungry,
because our menu

1586
01:18:40.628 --> 01:18:41.760
is up and running!

1587
01:18:47.113 --> 01:18:49.594
-Hey.
-Hey.

1588
01:18:49.681 --> 01:18:53.076
I just got some of these
from the, from the greenhouse.

1589
01:18:53.163 --> 01:18:56.427
Um, Nolan said
he'd serve breakfast.

1590
01:18:56.514 --> 01:18:58.821
-You ready?
-Yeah.

1591
01:18:58.864 --> 01:19:01.084
Always ready to say
Merry Christmas to dad.

1592
01:19:09.745 --> 01:19:11.137
It's so funny, I can't picture

1593
01:19:11.181 --> 01:19:12.443
dad doing this
for your proposal.

1594
01:19:12.530 --> 01:19:14.314
I just never took him
as a romantic.

1595
01:19:14.358 --> 01:19:17.970
-Sweet, yes. But romantic?

1596
01:19:18.014 --> 01:19:21.452
Well, your dad
was what I would call

1597
01:19:21.539 --> 01:19:23.889
a selective romantic.

1598
01:19:25.717 --> 01:19:27.545
I mean, sure, he would,
he would pick the moments

1599
01:19:27.632 --> 01:19:32.245
to do something cheesy,
like, propose with roses,

1600
01:19:32.289 --> 01:19:33.638
but...

1601
01:19:35.379 --> 01:19:37.381
it was the little
invisible things

1602
01:19:37.468 --> 01:19:39.252
that made me say yes.

1603
01:19:40.297 --> 01:19:42.560
Invisible things?

1604
01:19:42.647 --> 01:19:44.257
Yeah, like...

1605
01:19:46.303 --> 01:19:48.305
Like, this inn.

1606
01:19:48.392 --> 01:19:52.352
You know, I, I was so worried
we couldn't afford it,

1607
01:19:52.439 --> 01:19:57.618
so he did a ten-year projection
to show me that we could.

1608
01:19:58.968 --> 01:20:01.535
Or something as simple

1609
01:20:01.622 --> 01:20:04.712
as just knowing
I was having a bad day

1610
01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:07.803
and getting in the kitchen
and starting dinner

1611
01:20:07.846 --> 01:20:10.153
before I-I even had a chance.

1612
01:20:13.286 --> 01:20:16.855
Like,
when your grandmother died,

1613
01:20:16.942 --> 01:20:19.249
I was such a wreck.

1614
01:20:19.336 --> 01:20:22.905
And he just did everything.

1615
01:20:22.948 --> 01:20:25.429
You know, everything,
the-the funeral and the flowers

1616
01:20:25.516 --> 01:20:28.693
and calling people

1617
01:20:28.780 --> 01:20:30.826
before I could even
get out of bed.

1618
01:20:34.046 --> 01:20:36.832
He was listening even when
I didn't know he was listening.

1619
01:20:38.485 --> 01:20:40.357
Yeah.
I think I know what you mean.

1620
01:20:41.837 --> 01:20:43.795
This food critic,

1621
01:20:43.882 --> 01:20:46.363
are you starting to think
he was something special?

1622
01:20:48.060 --> 01:20:50.715
I don't know, mom.

1623
01:20:50.802 --> 01:20:52.978
I guess I was sort of hoping
that he would be.

1624
01:20:53.065 --> 01:20:54.675
Well, if he is...

1625
01:20:57.200 --> 01:21:00.507
he'll realize not to let
something special get away.

1626
01:21:14.782 --> 01:21:17.611
-Ah.
-Oh.

1627
01:21:17.698 --> 01:21:20.571
I'm kinda surprised you didn't
go back with Stu, to be honest.

1628
01:21:20.614 --> 01:21:22.573
I thought you'd have
some big, fancy holiday party

1629
01:21:22.660 --> 01:21:25.010
or family gala to attend to.

1630
01:21:25.097 --> 01:21:26.620
Nope.

1631
01:21:26.664 --> 01:21:29.101
I mean, my parents
are on a mission in Mexico,

1632
01:21:29.188 --> 01:21:31.538
and, of course, there's a bunch
of Hollywood parties, right?

1633
01:21:31.625 --> 01:21:34.063
But I don't know,
I'm kind of loving

1634
01:21:34.106 --> 01:21:38.894
this cozy Christmas
here at home.

1635
01:21:38.937 --> 01:21:40.852
You know what'll make it
even better?

1636
01:21:40.939 --> 01:21:42.071
What?

1637
01:21:42.158 --> 01:21:43.768
If you would sing for me,
please.

1638
01:21:43.855 --> 01:21:45.291
-Marla!
-You know you want to.

1639
01:21:45.335 --> 01:21:46.292
-Marla!
-Come on.

1640
01:21:46.379 --> 01:21:47.685
Okay, fine.

1641
01:21:47.772 --> 01:21:49.165
You don't have to ask me twice.
Let's go.

1642
01:21:49.252 --> 01:21:50.253
Okay.

1643
01:21:50.296 --> 01:21:51.907
Is, is that...

1644
01:21:51.950 --> 01:21:53.299
It's dad's famous white chili.

1645
01:21:53.386 --> 01:21:55.127
-Wow.

1646
01:21:55.214 --> 01:21:57.042
And dinner is served.

1647
01:21:57.129 --> 01:21:58.130
-Ah, shoot.
-Whoo!

1648
01:22:00.611 --> 01:22:03.353
Cheers to everybody.
Yeah, yes.

1649
01:22:03.440 --> 01:22:05.311
-Well done.
-Absolutely delicious.

1650
01:22:11.187 --> 01:22:14.625
So I hear you might be
singing tonight.

1651
01:22:14.668 --> 01:22:17.933
Yeah, you know,
love is in the air

1652
01:22:18.020 --> 01:22:21.153
so maybe.

1653
01:22:21.197 --> 01:22:24.548
-Oh.

1654
01:22:24.635 --> 01:22:27.986
Josie, I think
you should check your phone.

1655
01:22:28.073 --> 01:22:31.294
Pepper sent you somethin'.
You're gonna wanna see this.

1656
01:22:40.564 --> 01:22:42.696
After
all this yummy food,

1657
01:22:42.783 --> 01:22:45.351
this goes out
to the spirit of the season

1658
01:22:45.395 --> 01:22:49.181
and love
for each and every one of us.

What are you doing here?

1675
01:24:06.954 --> 01:24:09.479
Well, um, I thought it might be
a little difficult

1676
01:24:09.566 --> 01:24:12.090
for you to pass out
the leftover cake and pie

1677
01:24:12.177 --> 01:24:14.049
without the proper
whipped cream,

1678
01:24:14.092 --> 01:24:16.747
so I, uh, I brought you this.

1679
01:24:26.365 --> 01:24:30.108
Brown sugar candy
from the local candy shop.

1680
01:24:30.152 --> 01:24:31.588
Yup.

1681
01:24:31.631 --> 01:24:33.372
It's a good palate,

1682
01:24:33.459 --> 01:24:35.157
but this is
the secret ingredient

1683
01:24:35.200 --> 01:24:38.203
to my candied bacon,
not my house whip.

1684
01:24:38.899 --> 01:24:40.075
Keep digging.

1685
01:24:45.558 --> 01:24:47.256
How did you...

1686
01:24:47.299 --> 01:24:48.909
This is my Mexican vanilla bean.

1687
01:24:48.996 --> 01:24:50.650
They only carry this
in one place.

1688
01:24:50.737 --> 01:24:52.304
-How did you find this?
-Yeah.

1689
01:24:52.391 --> 01:24:54.306
At the little dive
Mexican place on mid-Wilshire

1690
01:24:54.393 --> 01:24:57.614
that you told me about a couple
of days ago. I found it.

1691
01:24:57.701 --> 01:24:59.224
They were a little hesitant
to sell it to me,

1692
01:24:59.311 --> 01:25:02.097
but, uh, I got it for you.

1693
01:25:03.707 --> 01:25:06.101
Wow. This is, um...

1694
01:25:07.667 --> 01:25:09.539
Thank you.

1695
01:25:09.626 --> 01:25:11.236
I got you something, too.

1696
01:25:14.935 --> 01:25:16.720
-Wow.
-I know.

1697
01:25:18.722 --> 01:25:22.856
-Uh...
-For when you finish your book.

1698
01:25:22.943 --> 01:25:25.816
Wow. Josie,
you designed me a book cover.

1699
01:25:25.903 --> 01:25:28.558
This is amazing. Thank you.

1700
01:25:28.645 --> 01:25:30.125
Merry Christmas.

1701
01:25:31.430 --> 01:25:33.519
Merry Christmas.

1702
01:25:33.563 --> 01:25:36.043
And maybe with a little more
time spent with you,

1703
01:25:36.131 --> 01:25:39.569
you might even inspire me
to finish it.

1704
01:25:39.656 --> 01:25:42.049
That is,
if you'll ever forgive me.

1705
01:25:42.137 --> 01:25:45.009
Pepper sent me
your final review.

1706
01:25:45.096 --> 01:25:47.272
