[Music]
okay make sure you don't forget a street
eleven okay i'll call you soon
zoey you ready yes ready as i'll ever be
okay great barbecue bill's ceo colin
richmond should be here momentarily have
you met him before
i have seen him around the building and
this morning it was so
embarrassing that's okay anyway i
insisted that he'd be here personally
now you should know this about him colin
is not a big fan of meetings he'd rather
be out with his dog
so make it short sweet seal the deal
got it morning everyone
morning colin please have a coffee uh
now to kick off today's sauce strategy
meeting our
ingredient analyst zoe mcbride will be
presenting first
great to meet you again please
have a scone
hmm so there's a smell that's been
enticing me all the way from the
elevator
tastes incredible it's lemon essence and
lavender
i see what's wrong with combo yeah uh
zoe's a bit of a weekend chef she always
surprises us on mondays
now let's see what customer feedback she
has to report on please everyone sit
down
all right welcome everyone
the brief was a brand new sauce for
barbecue bills something with universal
appeal
and a fresh twist
our customer focus groups consistently
tell us
that a healthy and tasty menu is their
top priority
consumer feedback is showing that we are
falling short
on these objectives with a sauce that's
high in sugar
and low on natural flavors i've analyzed
every barbecue bill sauce ingredient and
i have a lot of suggestions
and not just about the sauce for
starters i'd take some of the unhealthy
sandwich add-ons
blue cheese bacon and replace them with
healthy alternatives avocado
tasty salsas and
i have a brand new sauce suggestion that
will be
revolutionary for barbecue bills if
you'll follow me down to the test
kitchens i have a surprise for everyone
samples of a healthy new sauce and
grilled mediterranean style chicken
sandwiches with hummus
i'm sorry could you just hold on one
second please rick
i thought this meeting was about
customer feedback and planning
i thought we had our next menu in sauces
all planned out i don't think we can
introduce anything new in the next three
weeks
i think it's doable i can definitely
have the sauce available within that
window
and i've scoped out distribution
a co-op with local organic farms fresh
ingredients and on-time delivery to
all of your 850 stores okay that is
impressive
actually but in order to make our
quarterly projections we need everything
wrapped by week 49 which in restaurant
speak is um
yesterday your company can be a force
for change
you can be the first fast food chain to
lead the category with healthy offerings
mr richmond this is a big opportunity
here look you've certainly done your
homework but
um i'm not about to change my entire
product line
look i'm late for another meeting uh
rick we're gonna talk about this later
okay
hold up a minute colin look i just gotta
apologize for what happened in there
we will have a new plan and then you
sauce pronto
okay rick but this is your last chance
like we really gotta knock out of the
park not just to satisfy our customers
but our shareholders
let's try something fun and fresh like
uh
hawaiian pineapple teriyaki we'll have
it for you in a week
two jobs okay but no less many changes
all right you got it
okay my word is as good as gold all
right pal
rick i'm sorry unbelievable
i gave you the agenda i told you not to
be creative but you were creative and
now my neck
is online you know my strength is
recipes i took a chance he didn't even
taste my healthy sample
you have no business presenting anything
without my blessing
so you are out i'm letting you go
for doing more work than you asked for
can't fire me for that
are you really that stubborn you're
fired
you know what
you're right i don't belong here
i'm not like you
[Music]
i put a lot of effort into this
[Music]
presentation
you believe rick fired me i was furious
then as soon as i walked out i
remembered my credit card bills and my
rent
what am i gonna do maybe this is a sign
it's time to do something different
i mean your true calling has always been
the actual cooking not the science and
research
cooking is only a weekend hobby i'm not
that good not that good
excuse me your food is amazing seriously
your tri-tip barbecue is the bomb
actually uh is there any leftover in
your fridge i could come by later
oh my gosh what what is going on
our ceo the reason rick fired me he's
here
where's here the food truck line near
the office the guy could not care less
about my presentation
even more proof he's a bad person he
just cut the line ew
ignore him why do you even care
is he cute or something no well he's
kind of cute i guess
well you know what i always say rise
above it know you're worse
thanks i'll try
zoe right yes
wow imagine meeting twice in the same
day yeah
imagine actually three times if you
encount the
incident this morning oh thank you for
reminding me
hey have you tried these fish tacos so
delicately seasoned and
fresh the sauce is to die for
quite pinpoint the spices though now you
care about the sauce and the flavor
you know you're a lot friendlier when i
saw you earlier
anyway when you order from enrique make
sure to ask for the blackened halibut
he makes special off menu for locals
only no
thank you but i might warn enrique
there's a shark lurking about for his
halibut recipe
you might want to water that little guy
looks a little sad
[Music]
you don't have to be so stubborn you
know you could apologize ask for your
job back
no way my grandpa says never look back
and you said it yourself it is time for
something different
um i've loved your grandpa's barbecue
sauce since high school but the way that
you make it's even better
i make it healthier and don't tell
grandpa but i skip the pork lard
and i've added a secret ingredient you
would never guess
why if you tell me you'll have to kill
me something like that
oh hey how about we watch an episode of
american food truck competition it's
your favorite ooh i love that show
which of our local viewers will be voted
channel fire's favorite amateur food
truck
the winner will take home a brand new
food truck and 100 000
to start their new business you could
run a food truck with these sandwiches
and make some
serious bank yeah right zoe i'm
serious people would line up for this to
enter you need a team of two
participants and a food truck
we'll see you there seriously zoe do it
what have you got to lose
where the heck would i get a food truck
i am sure i know someone who has a food
truck
well the prize money would pay for a lot
of bills
would you enter it with me oh i'd love
to but
i'm just so busy with work right now but
how about i design a logo for you
well that would be great but i do need a
partner
well is your grandpa's recipe he's
retired
plenty of time on his hands i have been
telling him he needs a hobby
there you go okay well i'll ask grandpa
tomorrow
but how am i gonna pay for a rental
truck uh zoe don't give up before you
start okay there's always a way
in fact before you change your mind i'm
gonna help you with the application
process
you know i can see you behind there huh
why didn't you come and talk to me
grandpa what what are you doing ah my
neighbor claudette is making noise about
stealing my quince fruit
and i need to make jam i mean she says
any fruit with the branches on her side
belong to her
yeah poppycock i see well she might be
right actually but either way
it's dangerous for you to be up there
come on ugh
yeah take her side why don't you ah
she's been a thrown in my side for years
you could get to know her better she
might not be so bad
or she could be worse well she is your
neighbor so you might try to get along
she's kind of cute when she's angry you
know what they say
catch more flies with honey or jam
exactly
what do you got to lose so what brings
you here
well grandpa i've got a crazy little
idea i want to run
past oh that doesn't bode well you
remember the time you convinced me to
build that tree house in the backyard
for you hey what was so crazy about that
well besides that it took me uh
months you know you worked me day and
night i'm a cook not a carpenter
well what can i say i was a very driven
five-year-old but no
so you know how i am kind of unemployed
kinda okay definitely unemployed i've
been thinking that i want my next
project to be something that i'm
really passionate about okay and i was
wondering
would you be willing to enter a cooking
contest with me
we could win a hundred thousand dollars
in a food truck
[Music]
oh i mean you know it's not such a
crazy idea you're an amazing cook
but uh me nah
i'm happily retired come on grandpa we
would make a great team
and you were the line cook at the harbor
clubhouse for 40 years you know a lot
about good food and
i could really use your knowledge you
know it's been a long time things have
changed
you watch a lot of game shows right yeah
why
watch one when you could be on one
[Music]
hundred thousand huh so you'll do it
with me
all right all right all right you're
lucky you caught me in a good mood today
well that is good because shay already
entered us
so what's our first step well
i found a place to rent a food truck and
i've already got a spot leased and a
temporary permit so
we can start practicing this week good
what's our specialty
grandpa's barbecue my healthy version
oh no why do that you'll ruin it i won't
ruin it
our motto is going to be great food with
a healthy twist

where'd you find this truck again oh
shea knew someone who knew someone who
gave me a good
deal uh-huh the truck's name is livia
apparently
well olivia's sounding a little rough
right now
but i'm sure she'll warm up well she
might not be as fancy as other trucks
but
she does have some charm no question
speaking of charm oh
a leprechaun just what we need it's a
sign
are you saying we need luck grandpa
everyone needs
a little luck now and then hmm well
that's easy for you to say because you
have always been lucky
huh i'd like to think i earned my luck
through hard work
but i still believe in the fact that
when the stars align they give you what
you need
who you need when you need it and in our
case with four wheels and a
refrigeration unit
yes indeed

healthy food and sauce idea
i'm so sorry i had no idea

favorite amateur food truck yeah i
entered it too with my sister
i'm just down here helping her out doing
some research on the food truck business

i'm busy no you're not i have food prep
for tomorrow
really mm-hmm it's okay
i'll take a rain check see ya
we'd rather chop onions and hang out
with that handsome hunk who by the way
got us a very beautiful food processor
grandpa
he might get your heart with the chopper
herb blender but i am not that easy
who you calling easy you know he really
is quite charming
he got no reason not to take a chance
he's not my type
in fact i'm pretty sure we're polar
opposites he got me fired because he
wasn't interested in promoting healthy
family foods
i'm positive he has no real love for
cooking and since when is that a crime
it's just not the way that i look at
food don't get me wrong
i think food should be exciting and
creative and innovative but
people are eating barbecue bills every
day and that's just not healthy
well you certainly have a passion for it
and if there's anybody that's gonna
change the food industry one sandwich at
a time
that would be you thanks grandpa
you always have been my biggest fan
are you sure you getting fired was his
fault hmm
really grandpa keep an open heart an
open mind
maybe i think you're going to be able to
get that fix grandpa
yes i do well then we'll have hey
hey hey hello
how did it go first day it actually went
great
we sold out yeah a lot of hungry people
out there
went so good that we uh wore out the
food processor

gift

restaurant
well if we're talking about casual
dining i think i'd go
for the pizza pan downtown their
olive oil brush cauliflower crust
it is to die for but if we're talking
about fine dining i'd go for the aged
grass-fed steaks at sammy's
on the north side or or maybe the
scallops at the catch
yeah i don't know it's a toss-up those
are all really good choices
i really do love the cedar plank salmon
at the catch
good choice yeah you like dogs uh hot
dogs
no real dogs yes

[Music]
hello oh hello there hi there hey you
left just uh on your chair over there

this
your barbecue sauce is unique yeah
that's exactly my point
first you got me fired then you start
asking questions about my sauce
how am i supposed to trust you to judge
me or my food fairies it's not like that
what's not like that oh yeah it's just
about the business for you right colin
and you know what i saw you cut the line
and enrique's talking it's not just
about the judges all the points are
tallied up
at the end you should read the rules
now wait a second i didn't cut in line i
always call ahead for my talk order
i've known enrique for years that's how
it looked like
hmm well okay then in that case thanks
for the vote of confidence
it's one at least i got to get back to
work
that went well

good because it is time to start our
game so for challenge number one
we are asking you to make and sell a
unique dessert
with a savory twist you have to use at
least one
of your signature savory truck
ingredients in a dessert item
the team with the highest sales total
after three hours is the winner
now your customers are going to be our
studio employees on their break
but beware they have a big sweet tooth
and they're pretty picky
now this round has a bonus judge's pick
and this is for the best tasting item
the winner of this challenge
gets immunity to the next one regardless
okay at the sound of the buzzer run to
your trucks
and get cooking
show us what you got no no that's so
overdone what else you got what else
okay i can't deny that's unique but it's
not exactly healthy
well what dessert is let me do a few
substitutions make it healthier
fine as long as i don't taste the
healthy all right okay i promise
oh oh and we'll add some whipped cream
and some chocolate
drizzles huh nonfat yogurt topping
non-fat yogurt
that's great but you don't want to win
this competition
excuse me sir sir i'm making you make it
quick i'm very busy
okay yeah so my roommate his girlfriend
broke up with him and he was like
really sad she's so mean he didn't eat
anything for weeks and i had no clue
what to do
then two days ago it was like a miracle
he's okay again
oh good i really hope this story is
going somewhere oh uh yeah but
so the thing with that is that he swears
it was the barbecue sauce
you got some sandwiches from this truck
called grandpa's barbecue
it's new in town and yeah so
so what so
my roommate swears that this barbecue
sauce cured his broken
heart i tried some of the leftovers and
you know what
even two days old amazing
it's the best barbecue sauce i've ever
tasted just imagine what it's like when
it's fresh
so we ditch the hawaiian sauce we
reintroduce a new and improved
classic barbecue sauce okay go get me
some i want to taste it for inspiration
well there is a glitch in that plant uh
we can't
the truck's in the channel 5 amateur
food truck competition
and so they're not selling anything
publicly for the next two weeks
but i have an idea
oh hi how about some delicious pie
actually i'm more interested in your
sandwiches do you guys have any of those
for sale oh not today it's just the
dessert challenge but this is a pretty
good
and healthier take on an old favorite
cool uh could i get some barbecue sauce
on it
uh no on the side uh
no again come on can i just just have a
taste of barbecue sauce
you look really familiar do i know you
yes yeah i'm i'm on the crew

seen you before
look how about i just get a little bit
of barbecue sauce and then i'll leave
you guys alone wait
i know where i've seen you before you're
bradley from the test kitchen's at
barbecue bill
who is that that was a guy from my old
job bradley
he just dropped the pie and ran when i
recognized him
interesting why would he do that i don't
know
he asked me for a taste of my sauce even
though i told him we were only serving
pie
strange very hmm
hey guys what's the issue failed
generator
and without powered electric griddle
we've only made enough bacon for
five bacon wrapped ice cream cones i'm
sorry to hear that
yeah um maybe
chop the bacon really small to make
bacon sprinkles
do an ice cream topping with black
pepper and caramel
the enzymes and the pepper will bring
out the top note in the caramel
trust me just try it
that's dead
bacon black pepper and caramel you said
huh

probably do a short-term fix to get you
into the competition
yeah use some of your tools

i'm going in olivia i'm here for you

loves her
there well i think she's as good as new
well good as old in olivia's case
well i'm really glad she's fixed i
i love this old girl let's see how i did
go start her up huh why don't we okay
all right let's see she works
okay
hey she works okay good
oh perfect right oh oh sorry
wait oh i got it i got it okay oh oh i'm
sorry
i'm so sorry okay you're going olivia
hates me
no she doesn't she just um she needed a
little time to warm up
are you hungry i got lots of leftovers
that sounds great what's on the menu
well let's take a look and find out
let's see okay so we can have the
leftover chicken from the challenge with
my barbecue sauce which i know you love
and i can make as many sliders and a
salad
sound good sounds great okay good
because
i am starving me too all right
all right okay mr ceo
you still remember how to chop veggies
wait you think i lost my touch
well i don't know we'll find out
yes we will okay all right
let's see what we have here okay
not bad i like watching you cook
you get in the zone like me i don't seem
so surprised
i'm not it's just um you know i did kind
of assume you were the sort of guy who
just
sticks it in the microwave okay
i do love to cook yeah but i have to
admit uh
i kind of haven't done it a lot lately
well maybe this contest can reinvigorate
your passion
if grandpa can get back into cooking
then anybody can
so how are things at barbecue bills
yeah you know the business is full speed
ahead and uh
yeah it just seems a little tougher than
usual to be honest
this uh contest is a
nice break so you traded the chaos of
being a corporate exec
for the chaos of watching grandpa and me
wrestle with potato chips and
put out fires exactly very therapeutic
you know i felt the same way at barbecue
bills i felt like my head was stuck in
spreadsheets and stats and
i never had time to do the things i
loved hmm
i seem pretty happy right now yeah
i am
[Music]
hey can i have a little taste of the
sauce sure all right
okay
okay seriously what do you put in this
grandpa said you changed his recipe
what's the secret you know i have not
shared my secret with anyone
in fact i even told my best friend shay
i'd have to kill her if i did oh
yeah well it's um really sweet and
fruity
i mean it colin stop guessing hi a
second is it citrus
no no wait mango it's got to be mango
pepper hello give me that spoon
if you want to live
food's almost ready you know what
this meal deserves something fancier
why don't we uh take olivia for a test
run yeah and
uh we can take her wherever and voila we
got dinner
all right and i can show you tucker's
favorite park
okay but is that even allowed
i mean patternizing with a judge isn't
that against the rules
well i'm okay with it if you are
okay i guess i'm okay with it too
okay okay and who's tucker tucker
is my best friend oh
the furry kind he is
in australia oh look at him five years
old
oh my goodness well
okay it's a plan we will dine alfresco
a gourmet leftover picnic perfect
wow the andover yeah that is elise
monroe
she is famous and you know her she's got
three michelin stars
that's right that's right she does you'd
really appreciate her style of
presentation
you know she trained in barcelona really
yeah i am inspired
what if i added a sea urchin foam to my
sandwiches
[Laughter]
i'm actually surprised that you
understand molecular gastronomy
of course i mean i do own a chain of
restaurants so
you consider yourself a restaurant owner
i'd think of your business more like
running a factory
hey joe why don't we drop ship another
batch of emulsifiers and a yellow number
five on the unsuspecting customers
i'm sorry i meant um i don't know what i
meant
hey we are a big business no i get it
but barbecue bills was a family
restaurant to begin with
i worked in restaurants since i was 15
years old
i'm proud to have expanded my dad's
empire but um
industry is not like he used to be we uh
went public then
boom the brand exploded overnight here
we are
hmm well you've achieved a lot you and
your family must be very proud
yeah can i ask you a question though why
won't you consider a healthier menu
you have such loyal customers they would
definitely keep coming back you know
yeah i guess i just never thought how we
could deliver
the same distinct flavors you've seen us
do it with our sauce that you like so
much
and it tastes great doesn't it and it is
50 healthier than normal barbecue sauce
wow really that much
yeah when i was your ingredient analyst
i did the calculations myself
don't you think it's worth leading the
way on this
make a mark make a difference
yeah yeah i guess that's been in the
back of my mind
but uh yeah i don't know how avocados
and hummus and
all that kind of stuff would appeal to
barbecue bill's client
i think it can and besides you can do it
gradually
people won't even notice and if they do
they will
enjoy eating the food they love and
knowing they're a part of a healthier
lifestyle
you got a pretty good point there food
for thought
[Laughter]
i'm sorry by the way i kind of assumed
you were this
business school brat with no restaurant
experience and
that really wasn't fair clearly you've
worked very hard
thanks i just i'm not having as much fun
as i used to you know it's uh
so many balls in the air and fires to
fight
but i do have a good team i was even
better with you around
oh
[Music]
so you and rick ferretti are still
working on that revolutionary new sauce
yeah yeah he's coming up with a whole
new sauce for us oh
you know how chipotle and sriracha are
so over
[Music]
well don't forget your old pal
chimichurri
i'm tired we need to rest up for the
next challenge
this is beautiful though yeah it was
nice to come back here
well back to see olivia
i can't believe i'm eating again colin
and i literally cleaned out the
refrigerator
well you know what this means don't you
no well you must really like him if
you're comfortable enough to pig out
with him
i think it means the opposite we're just
friends
but we did have fun he's not so bad i
guess as a friend
when he was technically my boss he
didn't even seem to notice me until that
pitch
he appreciates good food at least yeah
colin surprised me
he cares a lot more than i thought i
think he just got caught up
in the world of big fast food he
uh he really does seem to appreciate my
healthy cooking
but he has been asking me a lot of
questions about my ingredients
do you think that's weird no he's in the
same business as you so he's probably
just curious
yeah it's been weighing on my mind i
know they need a new revolutionary
flavor
what if he is judging this competition
so he can scoop out new ideas
look don't worry about it and don't jump
to conclusions
i know and if you are that concerned
then just don't talk about your recipes
in front of him
talk about other things
get to know him okay
well there's no harm in that right can't
hurt
you want another scoop
[Music]
i'm just so impressed with all of you hi
guys good morning
good morning good morning jesse hey zoe

get out of there
[Music]
did you see that yeah that guy's been
around my truck before asking questions
about my sauce
he's from my old company i feel like
there's definitely something going on
you think so what if my old boss sent
him
i mean i knew there were rumors but i
didn't think colin would really let him
get away with stealing people's recipes
i don't know colin seems way above that
kind of stuff it's just
probably a simple misunderstanding
you're probably right
either way i got your back thanks
hmm not bad
i don't know it's all right
spicy
so i've had a blast but
i think i'm heading back into retirement
with my teas and my game shows
jesse how would you feel about sous chef
on a more permanent basis
if we win we do work well together and
it would be a crazy adventure
you'd have to be cool with me going off
for auditions it's okay by me
fine with me too well if we win then
let's give it a go
okay that sounds good let's do it
grandpa's barbecue

hey hey so you're alive then
tickets for three days so business must

and your new truck looks awesome well
she does have a lot of bells and
whistles but i have to say
i miss livia's no-nonsense appeal oh uh
she was charming in her own way
speaking of whistles as requested some
extra onions and tomatoes from the
farmer's market
thank you i get inside get to work
what jesse called colin for backup but i
might have to hire someone full-time if
these crowds keep
up you should have seen us at lunch
yesterday i'm sorry
i'm distracted by mr hotshot executive
helping you cook
he's not just poaching recipes here
right i don't think so
like you said that was just me jumping
to conclusions
i trust him and he really wanted to get
back into his love of cooking so
what better way to do it than this my my
how things have come along food's all
prepped and ready to go i'm off to my
audition
okay thanks for being so cool with this
zoe yeah you go
colin and i will be fine and good luck
no distraction shae i need him back in
one piece oh your partner's
tough okay let's get out of here before
she changes her mind yeah good luck
thank you
wow really fun just look at that knife
technique
you know i've had more fun today than
i've had in years reminds me of the uh
the old days
the first barbecue bills with my um
college roommate dimitri
i forgot how good it feels to work under
pressure and
make hungry people happy you know yeah
i've really enjoyed working with you too
and you are definitely a natural
you know what if jessie makes it big as
an actor uh-huh
we could be amazing partners and juggle
all of that with being ceo of one of the
biggest companies in the city
something tells me you are not quite
ready for that we could make something
work
it is a nice idea but you already have
your business and i'm just getting
started
so i know but i could help you
think about it okay
meanwhile hungry customers don't wait
for us to daydream
so let's get back to work yes yes ma'am
all right
uh you know i'll call the office and let
him know i'll be uh out for the
afternoon
sure yeah all right where's my phone
oh what is it
what's wrong uh you know what i think i
can finish up on my own
looks like you need to get back to rick
i'm sorry i shouldn't have looked but
i guess you need to report back on
whatever you found out about my sauce
today
oh no no this is about our new hawaiian
sauce
hawaiian yeah be honest with me
have your people been spying on me
what no of course not
what sorry that goes against everything
i'm about
are you sure you aren't just pretending
to love my sauce to get the details
you've been asking me a lot of questions
not at all zoe i i like spending time
with you
you've helped me bring back this spark
and energy in my life that it's been
missing for so long it's nothing to do
with your sauce
i want to believe you but i know what i
saw
i caught bradley going through my trash
and bradley works for rick
and rick works for you i have always
thought there was something shady about
him and now i know for sure
look i promise i know nothing about that
that's not how we work
this is a family business based on
integrity and honesty
hmm with someone like rick working for
you
i'm sorry but i find that hard to
believe
aren't you supposed to know what he's up
to
so you have to believe me i'm not sure
what the truth is
you should go zoe come on
[Music]
okay all right
[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Music]
zoe what is going on
shay i don't know what to do i feel like
i got it all wrong
you know rick must have been asking
about something else and i just assumed
it was my ingredients
and then i saw the billboard aloha
barbecue bills hawaiian
yeah but you weren't wrong about rick
you knew that he couldn't be trusted
yeah i know but i don't care about rick
anymore
it is colin that i feel bad about i was
so upset i accused him of lying
and i asked him to leave and now
everything is a mess
and i even lost the lucky leprechaun i
thought i left it in libya
and then i called the rental place and
they couldn't find it either
well call colin and tell him that you
were wrong
i don't know it feels like too little
too late
don't be so stubborn i can't call colin
what would i say
zoey guess who just got us a catering
job
great what's wrong
something about the new truck just
doesn't feel right i wish i could get
olivia back
look do this catering gig tomorrow
meet up with us after you drop the food
off and we'll cheer you up
we'll cheer you up
are you sure this is the right place i
feel like it looks kind of familiar
oh this looks nice
[Music]
thank you
i'll leave you two to talk
jesse told me this was a catering job
i'm
sorry i tricked you i thought maybe you
wouldn't come otherwise
colin i i really i just have a few
things i want to say first
[Music]
you were right rick was trying to get
your sauce ingredients to replicate it
and i honestly had no idea
i know rick is a little rough around the
edges but i don't think stealing was a
style
i honestly thought we were making
hawaiian sauce
and this whole experience it's
it's made me realize this business it's
not for me
so i decided to step down to ceo at the
end of the month
but you love barbecue bills i did
but meeting you made me realize
i'm not being true to myself
and i'm so sorry for what rick did to
you
i apologize
and i let him go wow
you fired rick how did that go
um not so great not surprisingly but
um it was the right thing to do and more
importantly
my last act as a ceo was to sign off on
a healthier menu
inspired by pretty much everything you
recommended
in your pitch i think that's amazing
you're gonna change the city
[Music]
zoe will you you please forgive me
of course i forgive you and there are a
few things i'd like to say too
[Music]
i'm sorry that i doubted you i told you
that i trusted you
but i didn't not really
the competition was a fresh start for me
when i lost my job
and i jumped to conclusions about you
stealing my sauce because
i was afraid that i would lose
everything all over again
i'm sorry oh you put the fun back in
everything
for me like when you're in the truck
just
making some food together it was just it
felt so alive
it's great to have you by my side we
make great partners
and i was thinking we could um bring
someone else back in the fold
olivia

wow thanks
zoe will you beat my partner
forever yes
forever
[Music]
