The price is too low.

Barely covers labor.

Sandwiches at night.

- Carmy: k*ller.

- Total k*ller.

We need a new dinner menu.

Hundred percent.

- For the new menu

- mm-hmm.

I was thinking maybe

a play on "tongue & cheek"?

Carmy: ox tongue?

Or braised beef,

maybe short rib

and risotto.

Yeah. Maybe.

Man, this book is wild.

- Carmy: yo, you just get here?

- Uh, nah.

Uh, chefs, we got any non-iodized salt?

Carmy: yeah. In the walk-in.

How we doing on cakes?

About to fire 'em up.

Carmy: please hustle on that, alright?

Marcus: I gotcha.

Carmy: sorry. Just, uh, scissors.

For what?

Carmy: one side looks like sh*t.

Both sides look like sh*t in here.

Marcus: yes, chef.

(Rumbling)

- (water running)

- (rattling)

the f*ck was that?

(Water gurgling)

oh, no, I know what this is.

Carmy: f*ck!

Sydney: this is f*cked.

We need to close for lunch.

No. No, no, no. We lose

one service, it could k*ll us.

You don't think this

is putting at a risk

for losing a service, no?

No, this is fine.

Cool. Good.

Yo, fak. Yeah, we need

you here asap, bro.

The toilet is f*cked.

Yo! What is good,

you f*ckin' replicants?

- Ebraheim: toilet exploded.

- Yeah.

- Is that funny? Is that good?

- Uh, tina, sydney, ebra,

We're gonna go over

that new menu still, okay?

Marcus, desserts, please.

Thank you, chef.

Uh, manny, angel, cousin,

just lock this sh*t down.

Get it dried off.

Fak's bringing a shop vac, okay?

Fak's mouth is a shop vac.

Oh, my god, you're so funny, richie.

Alright, guys.

This is some next-level sh*t.

I'mma check out ground zero.

Carmy: okay, so, see

those shallots, the garlic,

they're starting to caramelize?

Yeah, so we're gonna add

a little bit of capers.

Gonna cook that.

Many components, carmen.

I know. I know. Just hear me out.

We gotta get a new dinner menu,

we can hire more cooks,

we get more help around here.

Okay, we're gonna add

a little bit of white wine.

Let that reduce.

And, then you've got some hot stock.

Let that deglaze the bottom of the pan.

Okay, that's looking good.

You can turn the heat off now.

And we're going to monter,

or, um, we're going to, uh, whisk in

about two tablespoons of butter.

You can see it's starting

to get kinda glossy.

That's that sauce

that's starting to happen,

and do a little bit of pepper, salt,

a squeeze of lemon, parsley.

And now, we're gonna spoon

it out nice and easy.

Take your time.

T, you wanna try this?

Yeah. You know it, jeff.

Here we go.

(Softly) mm.

Mm.

Carmy: good?

Mm.

Good. Yes, jeff.

Fak: it smells so good in here.

Fak att*ck!

- Ebraheim: latrina.

- Latrina.

- Okay, okay, okay.

We're gonna fix it. It's okay.

And this one time (grunts)

when I was a kid,

I thought I saw a dragon.

Just pay attention!

Don't strip the thread.

I'm not stripping the thread.

(Grunting)

Dude, it's a human resources

Oh yeah? Guess what? You're

looking at human resources.

Yo, is this warm enough?

Chester: think so.

Alright, just finish the instructions.

Tina: jeff, look at

Yeah, you're gonna wanna

take that a little bit darker.

You see that brown spot right there?

We wanna see that

That way, when the stock hits,

flavor into the onion.

When'd mikey make that for you?

She wasn't calm, but the food was great.

Alright, looks good. Two more minutes,

Fak: be serious, man.

Wasn't my idea, by the way.

Whose idea was it?

Richie: (scoffs) come on, man.

Think you can guess, cousin.

Let me ask you something.

How the f*ck do you think

we made it through covid, huh?

Side hustle.

And that's the kinda

stick-to-it-ive-ness

and ingenuity

and out-of-the-box thinking

that we look for in employees.

But that ship has sailed, my friend.

I sh-sh-should call, I should call

the f*cking police on you.

I should call the police on you

for being a naive p*ssy

Sorry, not my cousin either.

Uh hey, everyone.

Richie: dum-dum-dum.

Nice to see you guys. What's going on?

Sugar: yeah. I also have a lot going on.

Did you know I recently

Who doesn't love the cubs?

I bet you can't name the first basemen.

Alfonso rivas.

Hey, nat, straight up,

You're such a soft, shitty bitch.

- What?

- Sugar: you call pete

'cause you're too scared to call me?

- That's weak, bro.

- No, no, no. I call pete

'cause every time I call you,

you talk a bunch of sh*t

and I can't really get

into a fight right now

you only call me

when you're freaking out.

And since I know you're low on time,

here are the b*llet points:

you only appear when you need something.

You never got back

to me about the thing.

You've spent every minute

since you've been back

in that f*cking restaurant,

and now you're taking advantage of pete?

Oh, and you know how much

I hate richie being here.

I'm fine with all that,

except I do kinda like pete now and

yeah, you have such a f*cking attitude.

I went to the thing.

Wh you-you went to a meeting?

Where?

River north.

All family?

All family, yeah.

(Chatter continues)

sugar: will you fight with me tomorrow?

Carmy: yeah.

Sydney: we got one

hour to service, chefs.

Ebraheim: chef,

there's no light out front.

There's no more space.

Okay. Um, that's fine. That's okay.

Uh, angel, I want you to take

every single stock pot we have

and put it on the stove.

Ebra, get all the beef,

put it in gravy, cover it,

- Yes, chef.

Tina, switch to potato prep.

Manny, you and I are gonna

that don't fit in the lowboy,

Manny: so you've done this before?

Chef, we can't open.

(Sniffs) yeah, no gas.

Fak: gary, it's getting greasy in here.

Are they still building

Fak: very dangerous.

chef.

You alright?

f*cked up um, I was behind on cakes.

Tried to speed it up

and I blew the fuse.

This job's insane.

(Lighter clicks)

yeah, it could go from chill

to unchill in a second,

but you gotta stay ahead on your work.

That's just that.

Marcus: heard.

You know, my first job was mcdonald's,

and you don't get to be creative.

You just work with robots

and everything's a*t*matic

and fast and easy.

I won't make a mistake again.

Carmy: yeah, you will.

But not 'cause you're you,

just 'cause sh*t happens.

I started a fryer fire

night after I won

food & wine's best new chef.

Nearly b*rned the place down.

- For real?

- Carmy: for real.

This weird thing happens too.

You have this minute where you

you're watching the fire

and you're thinking

"if I don't do anything

"this place will burn down

and all my anxiety

will go away with it."

And then you put the fire out.

Then you put the fire out.

So what's up?

You wanna be a baby for another minute,

or you trying to party?

- Let's party, man.

- Carmy: let's party.

Sydney: chef, get in there.

Let's go. Toughen up. Come on.

Customer: hey, kudos to the chef.

(Footsteps)

carmy: $5,500?

Fak: yeah. I'm sorry,

but, yes, dude. Yeah.

- Bro?

- Bro.

You said you had a connect.

Yeah, I definitely,

definitely did not

don't ha don't have a connect.

(Inhales and exhales)

how are we gonna get $5,500 that fast?

f*ck!

It's pretty interesting

you guys coming to me now.

I don't know.

Obviously, I'mma have to think about it.

Cousin, it's one more time.

It's never again. I want it far away.

I don't wanna know the details.

We need this.

The fridge won't work

without a condenser.

We?

We?

Say, "matae."

Richie.

No. Say, "matae," neil.

You didn't even win.

This is me winning.

Say, "matae."

Say it, fak.

Carm.

Carmy: say, "matae," bro.

f*ck it.

Matae, matae, matae.

Your wish is my command, neil.

Cousin, this is the last time, right?

Yeah.

- Richard.

- (Sighs)

carmen I understand.

(Electricity buzzing)

thank f*ck!

Alright.

Chef.

You okay?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

You were great today.

- Thank you.

- Sydney: hmm.

Thanks.

It really reminded me of like catering.

Just that energy. I don't know.

Carmy: what was the deal with that?

Was that just like the world or

sydney: oh, jeez.

It was a lot of things.

Got too big too fast.

Wasn't exactly liquid enough

for a brick and mortar.

And so running it out

of my garage was stupid.

Uh

my credit got destroyed.

I mean, my whole sh*t got rocked,

and there's not a night

I don't stay up just thinking

about what I could've done different.

Like, it was the first time

I didn't have a complete

and utter psychopath behind me

screaming and pushing and yelling.

And

I thought i-i wanted that, you know.

But

look where that got me, so.

Heard, chef.

Um, can you,

can you help me strain the stock?

Carmy: yeah, of course. Yes, chef.
