[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Two salmon steaks,two New York strips, medium--

Rice pilaf instead ofmashed potatoes on both.

You have to lowerthe heat on the Béarnaise

before it starts to clot.

Okay...

[telephone ringing]

Hey, sis.Long time no see.

I know, I keep meaning

to come up for a visit,

but I never seem able

to find the time.

How is everybody?

Great, actually.

Matthew volunteered to beassistant coach

for Sophia's softball teamthis year.

She's their star pitcher.

Of course, she is.

It's a toss-up between which of the two

is having more fun.

I bet.

So, how about you?

How's life in the big city?

You know, the usual--

non-stop busy.

You work too much, Gabby.

You need to find some balancein your life.

Well, balance seems to be

in short supply these days.

I guess.

I don't know how you do it.

Sometimes, neither do I.

Must be nice living

the tranquil New England life.

Oh, I don't know about tranquil,

but we all seem to love it.

So, how about you?

Aside from work.

How are you doing?

Are you still seeing David?

Yeah...

when we can...

Though with our schedules,

it seems fewerand far between lately.

[text alert chimes]

Give me one second.

And with that,

I just got a dinner invitefrom David,

and it says"I can't wait to talk."

Ooh. That sounds promising.

I'll say.

Well, keep me posted.

Bye-bye.

[♪♪]

Right, here you go.

You tell me that's notthe best burger in town.

Another home run, am I right?

It's a hamburger and fries,Caleb, not a filet mignon.

Come on, Danny, tell the truth.

It's good, right?

-Good enough.-[door entry bells jingle]

Afternoon, Christina...

How goes the real estate worldout in Bright Shore?

Why?

Are you lookingto sell the place?

Not by a long shot,

but I saw the placedown the street

finally shut its doors.

[Christina]Oh, Petite Patisserie?

I just took the listing.It's a shame.

It barely lasted a year.

Odd choice,opening a French bakery

in the landof steak and potatoes.

Or hamburgers and fries.

I think the problemwas poor management.

More like poor judgement,opening it in the first place.

[Trevor] Don't mindmy brother, Christina--

he just likes to fancy Delaney'sas the best place in town.

Here you go.

Extra-crispy onion rings,

with ranch dressing on the side.

$6.75.

Now, that's a deal.

[door entry bells jingle]

[Caleb] Hey, sweetie.

Dad, can I skipsoftball practice today?

No, you can't skip practice.

How many timesdo I got to tell you?

We stand a really good chance

of winning the pennantthis season.

Oh, right.

And then I can get a trophy.

[chuckles]

Oh, hi, Mrs. Weaver.

Is Sophiaalready down at the field?

Yeah. Her dad took her down

to throw the ball aroundbefore practice starts.

What for? Extra credit?

No, silly,

to help take our teamto the championship.

Now, come on,let's get a move on.

We've got work to do.

Play now, listen later.

See, you guys.

-Thanks for this.-Enjoy.

Bye.

Can I get you another coffee?

Yes. Fill it up.

David, I can't believe

you got us a tableat this place.

I heard the waitfor a reservation

was, like, six months.

I guess it's all aboutwho you know, right?

Champagne?

Okay...

I'm getting nervously excited.

So, to the future.

I'm not going to lie, David.

My head's been spinningsince you sent me that text.

I didn't mean to cloakthis evening in mystery,

but with news like this,

I didn't want to just...

blurt it out.

Gabby...

Yes, David?

-I can't believeI'm about to say this...

You're looking...

at the new executive chefof this place!

What?

I start Monday.

I don't understand.

I guess the owner

wasn't too thrilledwith his last chef,

so the other night,

I hosteda private tasting for him...

and then I got the job.

That's...

That's great.

David, I'm happy for you.

What's wrong?

I guess your texthad me expecting

something a bit more...

well, more personal.

About us.

But it's not likeeither of us are in any rush.

David, it's beenalmost two years.

I know.

It's just, right now...

the timing isn't right.

The timing is never right.

I'm sorry, David.

I just can't do this anymore.

Order of fettuccine.

And a Dover sole?

Right!

There you go.

I need a Spaghetti Vongole,

garlic breadand a bowl of gazpacho.

Gabby, who plated this?

I did, Chef.

And does this lookpresentable to you?

No, Chef.The fish is dry.

-This is not my Alfredo sauce.-No, Chef.

We ran out of creamso I substituted half and half.

So let me understand this.

Rather than tell the servers

that we've run outof fettuccine,

you decided to alter my recipe?

Yes, Chef.

Go help Andrew on desserts.I'm taking over.

All right, listen up.

How are we looking

on the steak tartarand the calamari?

[Chef] Gabby, we need to talk.

I am so sorryabout earlier, Chef.

I had an off night.

It's not just that.

Lately, I have noticed

that you've beensending out plates

that you would havenever let slide by before.

And tonight,altering my recipe like that?

[Gabby] I know, Chef.

That is grounds for dismissal.

Gabby, you've worked with mefor six years now.

I mean,I consider you like family,

but I can't have yourunning my kitchen

if your heart's not in it.

My mentor would sayyou've lost your joie de vivre,

and as hard as it isfor me to say this,

I think it's just becauseyou've worked here for too long.

One day,everything becomes routine,

and...

things just go downhillfrom there.

But what I need isthat passion that I saw in you

when you firststepped into my kitchen.

Gabby, I just--

I don't know what to do here.

Yes, you do, Chef.

You just don't want to say it.

I think it's timefor me to finally leave.

You need to goand rediscover your passion.

And where exactly do I goto find that?

[Christina]I can't believe you're here.

I told you I'd come upand visit you one of these days.

It really is so goodto see you.

Oh, you too, Gabby.

I'm thrilled you took me upon my offer,

but why now?

You were awfully crypticon the phone.

I just needed to get away.

Mm-hmm.

Don't bother covering.

I can already tell.

There's something going onthat you're not telling me,

isn't there?

[Gabby] Ever sincemy mom married your dad,

you always could read melike a book.

So... spill.

Okay, well, first of all,

I broke up with David...

this time, for good.

Aw. I'm sorry.

Don't be,it was a long time coming.

And...

I quit my job.

You what?

-Seriously, Gabby?-Yeah.

But you've been workingfor Franco

for practically ever.

I know.That's the problem.

You know,I couldn't help but feel

that I was spinning my wheels,

working at the same placefor all these years, you know?

So you figured

a change of scenerywould do you good?

Yeah,

and I don't know,

get a fresh perspectiveon some things.

A fresh perspective?On what?

I don't know...

Maybe...

what am I going to dowith my life.

I know that look.

Well, what if I told you

that sometimesthings happen for a reason?

I would say

you're about to tell methe reason.

[Christina] Better yet--

I'll show you.

Okay...

Petite Patisserie.

What, are they lookingfor a new sous-chef?

More like a new owner.

Place closed down a month ago.

The space just became available.

And...

I happen to be the realtorfor this property.

-What?-Come on.

Wasn't it always your dream

to open upyour own restaurant one day?

I mean, yeah.Of course, Christina.

But usually,

you make it to executive chef

before you venture outon your own.

Well, maybe it's timeyou skip a step.

Just wait tillyou get a look inside.

I'm crazy.

No. I can't open a restaurant.

[Christina] Why not?

Aren't you the one who said

you could achieveanything in life

if you want it badly enough?

I did?

Mm-hmm.

I did.

What happened to that girl?

She broke upwith her boyfriend,

quit her job,

and is now looking to a starta new chapter in her life.

You're right.

You're right!

I can't wait to look inside.

And I can't wait to show you.

Amazing, right?

It's not too bigor overwhelming.

Not at all.

With some paintand a few personal touches,

this place could be perfect.

All it needsis your unique flare

and your brilliant cooking.

What happenedwith the last tenants?

They were a young couple,first-time restaurant owners.

I think they were inover their heads

even beforethey opened the doors.

People love to romanticizeowning a restaurant,

but they never realizethe work that goes into it.

[Christina] They don't--

but you do.

The owneris eager to lease the space,

and I bet I could get youa terrific deal.

That's nice.

And what about what's here?The chairs, the tables?

[Christina]That's the best part.

It's all included in the rent.

Seriously?

Wow.

[Christina] It would reallylower your start-up costs.

I'm telling you, Gabby,

I really think this isan opportunity of a lifetime.

Maybe, Christina,

but I don't know

if I'm biting offmore than I can chew here.

You'll never knowunless you take a bite.

There's a lot for meto think about.

[Christina] Tell you what--

Why don't I give yousome alone time

to explore the kitchenand mull it all over?

That's a great idea.

I've got to get backto the office.

Lock up when you leave?

And I will see youback at the house.

Sounds good.

Customer.

Hey. Welcome to Delaney's.

I'm Caleb Delaney.

The owner?

[Caleb] The very same.

So which is it,late lunch or early dinner?

Neither, actually.

I was just a bit thirsty

and I figured I'd pop infor an iced tea.

Well, lucky for you,it's on the menu.

I thought you saidyou weren't hungry?

Oh, I'm not.

I just want to see

what the good peopleof Bright Shore

like to eat at Delaney's.

I see.

So where are you from?

New York.

I'm here visiting my sister.

That's funny,

because I saw you standingoutside the old Patisserie.

I figured you were lookingto lease the place

and you came into check out the competition.

No.

That's ridiculous.

Good, because I've had to watch

three restaurants go underin the past five years.

And you're telling methis why?

Just a little friendly warningfor aspiring restaurateurs.

"Aspiring" restaurateur?

Well, I did just see you

checking out the restaurantdown the street.

So...

What are you afraid of,

a little healthy competition?

No. I'd welcome it.

I just hate to see people fail.

Just so you know,

I never...

ever...

fail at anythingI put my mind to.

Wow. That's...

That's good to hear.

So then you are consideringtaking over the place?

First of all,I haven't decided,

and when I do,

you'll be the last personto find out.

I don't know,it's a pretty small town.

News travels fast.

Plus, the localreal estate agent

is one ofmy close, close friends.

You mean Christina Weaver?

Yup.

She's my sister.

Oh.

So you must be--

I'm Gabby.

Gabby...

Mm-mm...

By the way...What's your name again?

-Caleb.-Caleb.

The iced teais a touch watery.

He's just irritating...

I don't know if he was tryingto discourage me

from taking over the place

or challenging meto actually do it.

That's just Caleb.

He does havea competitive streak.

You know, he's somethingof a hometown hero.

He lead the varsity baseballteam to victory.

That explainsall the sports decoration.

He's clinging onto his glory days.

[Christina] He's harmless.

Caleb might be a little rougharound the edges,

but deep down,he's got a good heart.

Mm-hmm.

Well, it can't be easybeing a single dad,

running the restaurant,

plus finding time

to coachhis daughter's softball team.

He's the coach, too?

That's nice.

Sophia and his daughter, Emily,are best friends.

[Gabby] Of course they are.

What's next?

Are you going to tell mehe's coming over for dinner?

That's a great idea!

Forget Caleb.

Just concentrateon the business at hand.

Yeah. Figuring out exactly

what it's going to taketo make this place a success.

-[door opens]-Hey!

-Aunt Gabby!-Sophie!

It's so good to see you.

I've missed you so much,not-so-little one.

How are you, Matthew?

So good to see you.

Thank you for the invitation.

Are you kidding?

I would tradean empty guest room

for a personal chef any day.

What smells so good?

Gabby's making pork loinon a bed of polenta,

with cranberry relish.

My mouth is watering already.

See?

This is exactlythe kind of cuisine

that will knock the socks offthe town of Bright Shore.

You think?

Yeah.

It will be a welcome changefrom the usual--

diners, Chinese, pizza,and of course--

Delaney's Coastal Grille.

Look at you,

already getting familiarwith our local spots.

Caleb madequite the impression.

Can I help cook?

Yeah.

Get a mixing bowl.

I'm going to teach youhow to make polenta.

I could get used to this.

Oh, I already have.

[Caleb] All right, girls,ground-ball drill.

Ground-ball drill.

[Matthew] The team's reallygiving it their all this season.

If we stay on track,

I wouldn't be surprisedif we make it to playoffs.

I won't stop until we take homethe pennant.

Hey, I heard you hada little run-in yesterday

with my sister-in-law?

I don't knowif I can call it that,

but I definitely seemedto get a rise out of her.

I'll say--

according to my wife.

What I don't get

is why a New Yorker would comehere to open a restaurant.

[Matthew]She's in the business.

Graduated culinary schooltop of her class.

It's always been her dreamto have her own place.

Well, then she knowsexactly what's she's in for.

Are you worried?

No.

Do you have any idea

how many new restaurants

go out of businessin their first year?

40%.

You still didn'tanswer my question.

Back-hand drills, girls.

Back-hand drills.Let's go.

Hey.

Someone's been busy.

Mm-hmm.

Doing your due diligence?

So, are you any closerto making a decision?

Well, I canvassed almostevery restaurant in town.

Now, the palate

seems to definitely be skewedtowards comfort food.

Now, I feel likethey're ready for it

in a more elevated form,you know?

Now, I know I'm biased,

but I feel that's exactly

what the townhas been crying out for.

Now, the question is,

how fast can I turnthis place around?

About that.

Things may have gottena little more complicated.

This morning,I got a phone call

from a coffeehouse chainregarding the property.

Oh, no...

[Christina] Don't get nervous.

It was just one inquiry.

But if you're really seriousabout doing this,

then you need to move fast.

Okay, I'll figure this out.

And, Gabby,if this doesn't feel right,

for whatever reason,

I am sure something betterwill come along.

Yeah, well,

that's just somethingpeople tell themselves

to take the stingout of life's disappointments.

Well, then get to work.

I will.

Gabby, I can see thatthe place is full of potential,

but what's important hereis what does your gut tell you.

I want to take the leap, but I'm scared.

[Chef] You should be.

Look, fear can either push usor hold us back,

but in the end,

what we regretare the chances we never took.

You're right, Chef.

You need to ask yourself,

is this a regretthat I'm willing to live with

or is this a chancethat you're ready to take.

Okay.

Thanks, Chef.

No problem.

[Danny] Customer.

Back again?

Yes.

This time with an appetite.

Well, would you liketo take a look at the menu

or do you have it memorizedfrom yesterday?

I don't.

Need to look at a menu, I mean.

I would like to havethe specialty of the house.

I beg your pardon?

Whatever it isthis place is famous for.

Your best dish.

[dings order up bell]

[Caleb] Well, that would haveto be our smoked brisket.

Isn't that right, Danny?

I'm staying out of this.

[Trevor] It's our top seller.

We marinate the meatfor two days,

then slow roast itto perfection.

That's it.Sounds good.

I'll get it started.

And your usual ice tea?

Not-so-watery.

Let me see...

Salud.

Just the check, please.

That's it?

You're not going to tell uswhat you think?

You said it's the best.

It doesn't matter what I think.

Sure, but you're, like,a real chef.

Gentlemen...

you have got yourselves...

a very...

tasty dish.

And...

some new competitiondown the street.

Hmm...

Well, then I guess

there's reallyonly one thing left to say.

Game on.

It's your basicone-year lease

with option to extendfor another four.

So what are your plansfor the renovations?

Well, I am re-purposingmost of what's already there

and then I wantto open the doors

by the end of the month.

Once I start turning a profit,

I'm going to investin more improvements.

[Christina] Impressive.

Sounds like you have a planand an admirable goal.

And a long road ahead of mebefore I get there.

Well, every journeystarts with a single step.

Or in this case,

with a signatureat the bottom of the page.

Here goes nothing.

Congratulations.

The place is yours.

Have you settled on a namefor the new restaurant?

No. I've got a few ideas,

but nothing has stuckwith me just yet.

Well, I'm sure you'll findsomething you love.

Until then--

I couldn't bemore proud of you.

I'm so excited for you, Gabby.

Thanks, sis.

You know, for the first timein a long time,

I can honestly say...

I am, too.

I seethe Lewiston Falls Orioles

made it to the playoffs.

If you can manageto squeeze one more win,

the Blue Jayswill finally face them.

What do you mean if,it's practically in the bag.

[bell dings]

That would be huge.

Lewiston Fallshas won the championship

for the last four years.

[Caleb] Exactly.

The time is ripe for an upset.

[Danny] And if your brotherdoesn't win tomorrow,

he's gonna be upset.

[door bells jingling]

[Emily] Hey, Dad.

Hey, sweetie.

I thought you twowere heading to the movies?

It was sold out.

We were wonderingif it was okay

if we went overto my Aunt Gabby's

to help her fix upher restaurant.

Just until softball practice?

Sure. Have fun.

Thanks, Dad.

Okay.

I really hope Gabby knowswhat she's in for.

From what I can tell,she seems pretty determined.

Yeah, well, she's going to needa lot more than determination

to make a go of it.

Are you worried she might takea bite our of your business?

Danny, do I look likea guy who's worried?

I think that woman hasa real fire inside her.

I find it refreshing.

Yeah, Caleb,she's just following her dreams.

You remember what those are,don't you?

[Emily] What are you namingyour restaurant?

I haven't decided yet.

I'm waiting for somethingto leap out at me.

How about "Aunt Gabby's"?

I'll take thatunder advisement.

Mom said Nana would let you

help her make dinnerevery night.

Yes, she did,as a matter of fact,

but her speciality was baking.

Cookies, cupcakes,all sorts of pastries.

She was amazing.

Emily, does your dadlet you bake?

Not really.

He's usually pushes me

to do my homeworkor play softball.

He certainly hasa love for the game, huh?

That's for sure.

Me, not so much.

[Gabby] Why not?

She's afraid to strike out.

Usually, I just stand there,hoping to get a walk.

You know, that may sound likea good idea,

but you're onlycheating yourself...

and your teammates.

But what if I really am bad?

So?

It's better thannot giving it your all, right?

Listen. Back when I firstwent into culinary school,

I discovered

that one of the requirementsto be able to graduate

was that I had to bakethe perfect souffle.

Now, that is an incrediblycomplex dish to get right--

and I rarely got it right.

Seriously?

Yeah, you can cook anything.

Now maybe...

but back then, forget it.

My baking skillswere underwhelming.

So for the next two years,

me and the soufflebecame mortal enemies.

Now, deep inside,

I knew I had the skill set,

but I allowed my fear of failureto get the best of me.

So, what happened?

So, one day,

I decided that I was goingto either fail spectacularly

or I was going to make

the very best soufflethe chef had ever seen.

And?

Nailed it!

Looks like somebodyhas been industrious.

Yeah.

I still have a lot of work to dobefore I open next week.

Wow, you really are lookingto make a fast turnaround.

I hate to steal awayyour workers,

but we have practice to get to.

Aw, do we have to?We're having fun.

[Gabby] It's okay, Emily.

You girls are welcometo come back any time you want.

[Emily] Really?

If your dad is okay with it.

Of course.

[Gabby] Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

All right, girls, let's go.

Dad, do you knowhow to bake a souffle?

Because my Aunt Gabby knowshow to bake the perfect souffle.

Oh, does she now?

All right, let's go.

You work so hard

and still manageto look so refreshed.

How do you do it?

Because I thriveunder pressure.

I heard Emily and Sophia

helped outat the restaurant today.

[Gabby] They did.

And they were so sweet.

You know,I wanted to ask you.

I assume Emily's momand Caleb are divorced?

Yes. Five years now.

They met when Caleb was playingin the Minor Leagues.

[Gabby] Really?

Then I guess Caleb

must have been as goodas he says he was.

[Christina]Yes. And then some.

So what made him get intothe restaurant business?

[Christina] He didn't reallyhave much of a choice.

When his father took ill,

he had to put his dreamof going pro on hold

and take over the restaurant.

Then when his father passed,

he and his wife decidedto start a family

and he was leftwith the business.

And he never went backto baseball?

His first true love.

He doesn't talk about it much,

but I'm surethere's some regret.

What about Emily's mom?

[Christina] She remarriedand moved to Boston.

Caleb gets Emilyduring the summer,

and winter and spring break.

You know,I bet that can't be easy.

Caleb's not one to complain.

Not like we were raised--

always wearingour hearts on our sleeves.

Speaking of hearts...

I've got somethingI want to show you.

Okay.

I brought down

our photo albumsfrom the attic.

I haven't looked at thesesince mom passed away.

[Gabby] Wow.

These takes me back.

Aw...

I miss her so much.

[Christina] I know. Me too.

Mom had suchan indelible spirit.

Yeah...

A passion for cooking

and putting togetherlarge family gatherings.

She could reallylight up a room.

She really was one-of-a-kind.

I just got an idea.

What if I name the restaurantafter Mom?

Yeah...

Let's call it...

"Grace"?

I love it.

Mom would be so proud.

[Gabby] Plus, I'd feel likeshe'd be watching over me.

Stop.You're going to make me cry.

She was so beautiful.

-Look at that.-I know.

[door opens]

Hey, guys!

Hope you're hungrybecause we are starving.

Natalie's mom forgotto bring snacks today

after practice.

So what do you want to eat?I'll get started.

No. Dad and I decided to cookto give you guys the night off.

I like the sound of that.

What's on the menu?

Frozen pizza!

No one can warm up an ovenlike my husband.

Step on up.

Alright, now we have...

all the ingredients.

So what's the first step?

Melt butterin a separate sauce pan.

Check. Now what?

Separate the eggs.

Okay... separate the eggs...

One,

two,

three, and four.

Okay, what's next?

That's not what it means!

I know,I'm just playing with you.

Okay, here's what we do.

We're going to crack the egg.

We're going to separatethe white from the yolk.

We're going to crack itin the middle...

open it up...

shift it side to sideto separate the white...

and you throw the yolk in there.

You want to take a crack at it?

Dad.

Look at you.Nice job.

Alright, we just need two more,and we can start whisking.

Okay.

But Gabby saysthis is really complicated.

What if we mess up?

I got two dozen more eggsright there.

We've got this.

Okay.

[Caleb] Look at you.

You sure you haven'tdone this before?

-Yes.-Never?

Dad, you know I haven'tdone this before.

You're so good.

You're going to makea great little baker.

Thanks.

So until we builda steady clientele,

it will just beme and you in the kitchen,

so I need someone who reallythrives under pressure.

Then I'm your man.

Good, because that is exactlywhat I needed to hear.

What do you say,you start this afternoon?

Wait... So I've got the job?

I need to get the kitchenup and running

so I can pass inspectionfor the opening tomorrow.

Got it.

Well, you can count on me, Chef.

Can you say that again?Just the last part.

Chef?

Yeah.

Chef. Okay.

Taste it.

What is it?

It's a cheese souffle.

What's in it?

Cheese, eggs, butter...

Just taste it.

It's not going to bite you.

Come on.

Well?

Not bad.

Yeah...

Light and airy.

Took me half the nightto get it right.

Look, it got me thinking,

maybe it's timewe expand our menu.

To include souffles?

No, this is way too froufroufor our crowd.

Speak for yourself.

I've got to say,

I'm just a little surprisedat your willingness to change.

Aren't you the guywho always told me,

"If it's not broken,don't fix it?"

Well, people can change.

This wouldn't happento be motivated

by the new competition startingup down the street, would it?

No.

No, I just think

Gabby made me realize

that I've let myself

get a little complacentaround here.

[Danny]I wasn't going to say anything,

but the burgers have beena little on the dry side lately.

I really likeseeing this new side of you.

Thanks.

And I think competition is good,

but it means we needto step up our game.

In that case,I've got six words for you.

Sweet Potato fries.

With garlic aioli.

That's six words.

You know what,just come to the back.

I'm going to show you.

[Danny]Can I have your souffle?

[Trevor]Yeah, knock yourself out.

Here you go.

Thank you, sir.

You're gonna see.

Garlic oil.

And the cheese

give the friesa real rustic flavor...

...that is pretty nearirresistible.

Ta-dah!

-Wow.-Wow?

-Wow.-Wow!

I mean, this--this could be a game changer.

Yeah, I think so, too.

I see you're closing inon the finish line.

I just need to passmy final health inspection

to open tomorrow night.

The girls were hoping

you could make itto their big game.

If we win today,

we make itto the championship game.

Wow.

Well, I promise to be there

the moment I am donewith the Health Inspector.

Now, in the meantime,

I made the snacksfor after the game.

I don't knowwhere you find the time.

Thank you.

Emily, do you want to comewith me and get the snacks?

-Just a minute.-Yeah.

-This looks great.-It looks amazing.

[Gabby] So I know today's gameis really important,

so I hope you thought about

what I said to youthe other day.

I'm still scaredof disappointing my dad.

Okay.

Do you know who Babe Ruth was?

Of course.The Great Bambino.

Why did I have to ask?

So do you knowthat he used to say

"Never let the fearof striking out

keep youfrom playing the game."

Does that make sense to you?

Good.

Now get out thereand give it your best.

-Okay, you promise?-I promise.

-Great.-Thanks.

Okay, let's talk aboutthe menu for tomorrow.

I'm thinking about startingwith a simple menu

of seafood empanadillasand flank steak.

Yes, Chef--

but before that,

I think you need to lookat the refrigerator.

Why? What's the problem?

I set the temperatureto 40 degrees,

but the spinach and the lettucehave already started to wilt.

See?

This shouldn't be happening.

Well, there's the problem.

We have a Health Inspectorcoming any minute.

Find me a Phillips screwdriver.

Get me a flashlight, please.

And, Victoria, get thisout of here, like now.

Yes, Chef.

You got it?

Okay. Open it.

Give me some light.

Now, you see, Sergio,

this trip switchoverrides the defrost timer.

So, you...

[fridge humming]

There you go.

It should cool downin about 20 minutes.

Way to go, Chef.

You really are unflappable.

Well, I know a thing or twoabout kitchen disasters.

Although based on the ageof this refrigerator,

I think my quick fix is goingto turn into a costly upgrade.

Well, let's hopeshe's got enough life

to get us through our opening.

And a little beyond.

[Victoria] Uh, Chef...

The Health Inspector is here.

Okay, we just needto buy some time.

Tell him that I'm on the phonewith a vendor

and I'll be right out.

[Victoria] I'm a terrible liar.

Oh. Okay.

[dialing]

Hi, Acme Produce?

Yeah, this is Gabby,from Grace restaurant.

Correct.

[mouths words]

Yeah, I have an emergency here.

Can you please send, like,at least two pounds

of arugula, spinach,Romaine, and Butter Lettuce.

No, I need it, like,10 minutes, please.

Way to go, Blue Jays.

Let's go, girls.Bring it in, bring it in.

Caleb really pulled it off.

The girls made the championship.

Now all they need to do

is beat their rivals,the Orioles.

One game at a time, Danny.

Don't tell me.You didn't pass inspection?

No, I did.Barely, but we did.

Congratulations.

Everyone wins today.

I'm sorry I missed the game.I came as fast I could.

You made it.That's all that matters.

I'm so glad.

[cheering]

Don't leaveyour coach hanging.

Don't leave me hanging.Don't leave me hanging.

Girls, these arethe new special at Delaney's.

I thought it was our dayto bring the snacks.

It is.

Maybe Caleb got confused.

Or maybe he couldn't resistthe chance to one-up me.

Care to try our newest recipe?

I'm good, thanks.

Looks like you forgotthe snack schedule.

Oops, I'm sorry.

I'm curious.

This competitive streak.

Is it an occupational hazardor just your nature?

I guess a bit of both,actually.

I can't seem to help myself.

Well, in that case,I've got some news for you.

I passed the health inspection

and I'm opening doorstomorrow night.

-Congratulations.-Thanks.

So what are you callingyour restaurant?

-Grace.-Huh.

Told you the sweet potato frieswould be a huge crowd pleaser.

With everyone except Gabby.

She seems to thinkall I want to do is one-up her.

Well, you sort of area serial one-upper.

Yeah, I guess so,

but she seems to reallybring it out of me in spades.

Caleb Delaney, right?

Yeah, do I know you?

No, Bennett Chambers.

I was a freshmanat Bright Shore High

back when you playedfor the Bisons.

I just rememberyou had an arm like a cannon.

I couldn't help but come out

and see if you coachedas good as you played.

I certainly got my answer today.

Appreciate the support.

Anyway, I teach9th-grade English

at Bright Shore now.

Did you guys hearCoach Ryan retired this year?

No way.

He said the only way he'd leave

is if they carried himout on a stretcher.

His wifegot tired of the winters

and wanted to retire to Florida.

Any idea who's taking the spot?

No, but the team definitelycould use some fresh blood.

You should talkto the Principal about it,

Thanks, but I'm not interested.

You sure?

[Trevor]Yeah, Caleb, he's right.

Why don't you at leastthink about it?

I think I'll pass.

Thanks for coming out.

-Pleasure to meet you.-You too.

Yeah, that's perfect.Thank you.

Uh...

those are notthe mushrooms I ordered.

Those are Portobello.

I specifically askedfor Shiitake Mushrooms

for my flank steak.

I know, Chef.

Acme Producedelivered these by mistake.

When I called to complain,they said they were out.

What do you want to do?

I want to serveShiitake Mushrooms

with my flank steak.

Uh...

It's okay.I've got this.

Well...

I almost thoughtyou were trying to avoid me.

Whatever gave youthat impression?

Excuse me.

[Caleb] Don't go. Please.

Look, I'm extendingthe olive branch.

-Or olive spread, anyway.-Really?

[Caleb] Yeah.

-Thank you.-Yeah.

Honestly I wasn't tryingto one-up your snack yesterday.

I guess I just gota little excited

with Trevor's new creationin the kitchen.

The truth is,this whole self-improvement kick

was something you inspired.

I beg your pardon?

Yeah. The other day,

Emily came home and asked

if I knew how to makethe perfect souffle--

like you.

Oh, and you couldn't resist,could you?

Do you have any idea

how many eggs we went throughto get that right?

I don't know whether to betouched or annoyed.

Go with touched, please.

It turned out to be

a really greatbonding experience

for me and Emily.

I could tell it was.

You're welcome.

Leaving so soon?

I just have to--

I have to go backto the restaurant

so I can continue preppingfor my opening, remember?

Right.

Well, I mean, you can't--

you can't go without trying

Cousin Lucille'sfamous Lemonade.

I have to go.

Look, there's nothing like it

to take the edge offon a hot summer day.

Nothing.

So, I'm curious.

What made you decide

to go to culinary schooland become a chef?

Well, I guess a big reason was

because my fondestchildhood memories

were always in the kitchen.

Whether it was bakingor cooking with my mom,

or simply gathering aroundthe table

with my family for dinner,

food was always

that one elementto bring us together.

Wow.

-What?-Nothing.

It's an amazing answer.

I never thought about itlike that.

[Gabby] Think about it.

The smell of cookiesbaking in the oven,

you know, a Thanksgiving turkeyroasting to perfection,

the smell of baconfrying in a pan.

Stop.

You're making me hungry.

Well, on that note,

thank you for my lemonadeand the olive spread,

but I...

I really have to getback to work.

[Caleb] Yeah.

Gabby, I want to wish you luckwith your opening tonight.

Thank you.

-I mean it.-Yeah.

[bell dings]

[bell dings]

[bell dings]Well, what do you think?

It's great,

but you sure we can stillturn a profit at this price?

Yeah, it's likeall-you-can-eat pancakes.

You can only eat so many wingsbefore you fill up.

Right. Good point.

I'll tell you what,

Let's keep the specialgoing through dinner

and then see if it keeps upthe foot traffic.

[Emily] Hey, Dad.

[Caleb] Hey, kiddo.

Practice isn't until 4:30.

I know.

I was hoping to go play catch?

With me?

Yes, silly!

We got this.

Go play catchwith your daughter.

-You sure?-Yeah.

Let's go.

Who loves these wings?

[cheering]

As much as I lovethis new side of you,

what inspired

your change of heartabout softball?

Is it because our team

stands a real chanceat winning the championship?

No...

it was somethingGabby said to me.

Never let the fearof striking out

keep you from playing the game.

Gabby actually quotedBabe Ruth?

She saidif I don't try my best,

I'm failing myselfand my teammates.

Those arepretty wise words there, kiddo.

Not just in softball,but in life.

Yeah, but we'll neverbeat the Orioles

if we don't practice.

True. Get on out there.

Here comes a pop fly.

Watch it into the glove.Nice!

You got it.

Good throw.

Well, not exactly

the stampede of guestsI was hoping for the opening.

Relax, Chef.

We opened our doorsbarely an hour ago.

Maybe it was a mistake

not inviting our familyand friends to come out.

Family and friends

are not going to keepthe doors open, Victoria.

Diners are.

Wait, I thinkI see somebody coming.

Good eveningand welcome to Grace.

Party of?

None.

Actually, I already atedown at Delaney's.

I just came byto wish Gabby luck.

Thanks, Danny.

Are you sure you don't wantto sit down

and take a look at the menu?

Come on.

That was my plan,but I'm stuffed.

Delaney's started running

a bottomlesschicken wing special

and the place is packed.

Why am I not surprised?

[Gabby] You knowwhat's the thing with Caleb?

He takes one step forward

and then, like,two huge ones back.

Last night, my openingtook a backseat

to his "bottomless wing"promotion.

Do you really thinkhe's doing it on purpose?

Truthfully, with Caleb,I wouldn't be surprised.

I don't know.

I think your enthusiasmis rubbing off on him,

which is why he's takingsuch a new shine

to his restaurant.

MeaningI'm good for his business?

That's wonderful.

What about mine?

Well, Rome wasn't builtin a day,

and nor did it collapsethat fast.

You should be proud of yourself.

You reached your goal.You opened your doors.

I know.

You must have hadat least a few diners.

I had maybe, like, a dozen.

Well, that's a start.

I know,

but for Grace restaurantto take off,

I need, like,a splash, you know,

to get my name out there.

You mean...

something like this?

What's this?

Taste of Summer Festival?

[Christina]Yeah. It's a county event

to help promote tourism.

I'm on the Events committeethat started it.

It's a real crowd pleaser.

I bet.

And a $10,000 grand prize--that's incredible.

Who decides on the winner?

A handful of food critics.

And the winnergets a nice write-up

in the MassachusettsFood Journal.

[Gabby] I wouldn't minda taste of that.

Has Caleb's restaurantever won?

To be honest...

I don't rememberhim ever participating.

You're kidding me?

Well, Caleb seemed to behappy with the status quo--

until you came along.

Well, I hopeit stays that way.

So, I'm assumingyou're entering the festival?

Are you kidding me?

Of course I'm entering.

You know,I could use that money,

especially with a refrigeratoron life support.

I see.

You realize you have to win itfirst, right, though?

Details, details.

[Caleb]Early bird catches the worm.

And breakfast is

the most important mealof the day.

I am afraidwe don't serve breakfast,

but there isa cute little place

down the waythat you might like.

True, but, you know,

I wanted to check outthe new hot spot in town.

[Gabby] Hardly.

Your daily special last night

nearly turned my openinginto a mausoleum.

-Thank you.-Oops.

Caleb, I actually havea big day ahead of me,

so I'm done.

I do, too.

First playoff game, which is--

which is that's why I'm here.

I heard aboutthe little pep talk

you gave Emilythe other day.

You really turnedher attitude around.

It was nothing.

No, it wasn't.It meant a lot.

Not just to Emily,but to me, too.

You know, you should do thatmore often.

Do what?

Show a little humility.

It goes a long way,

and believe it or not,you wear it well.

I'll try and remember that.

But I'm curious--

a Babe Ruth quote?

Caleb, just becauseI love to cook

doesn't mean I don't knowmy baseball legends.

Fine.

Don't believe me.

I have to go to work.

Okay, then prove it.

Prove it.

I mean, name six of the greatestbaseball players of all time.

Huh. What do I get in return?

What do you want?

Well, I am planninga menu tasting

later this evening,

and I could use some help

bringing some gueststo come out.

Menu tasting?

I want to try a few items

so I can determinea fan favorite.

Like Delaney's smoked brisket.

I think I can do that for you.

If you can name

six of the greatestbaseball legends of all time.

Wow. Okay.

That's going to be a tough one.Let me think.

Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle,

Ty Cobb, Ted Williams,

Hank Aaron, and Willie Mays.

And I would like to throw in

Roberto Clementefor good measure.

Tasting starts promptlyat 6:00,

and the dress codeis summer casual.

Okay, so to help celebrateour second playoff win,

make sure you come outfor a menu tasting at Grace,

this new restaurant

that opened up herein Bright Shore.

Okay?

Alright, great job today.

See you at the next practice.

Wow.

Do my ears defy me

or did you just givethe competition a leg up?

Well, if you must know,Gabby asked me for a favor.

Little Miss Independent?

I don't think so.

I don't care.Think what you want.

Okay.

I think you lost a bet.

Thank you for coming

and giving usyour wonderful feedback.

Thank you.

[Gabby]Thank you so much for coming.

Good.

Thank you.

I'm going to get backto the restaurant.

Alright. I'll hang out herefor a little bit.

-Gabby!-How was it?

-It was wonderful!-Oh, good, good.

-It was amazing.-I'm so glad. I'm so glad.

-I'll see you at home.-Okay.

-Everything was great.-Good to hear.

-Thank you for coming.-Thank you.

Tell me how this works again?

Yes, yes.

You put your red poker chips

in the boxwith your favorite dish

and the black onesin your least favorite.

Sorry.

I liked it all.

-Great.-But...

just don't tell thatto the competition, okay?

-Just between us.-Alright.

Thank you.

I don't know which was better,

your dishes

or the crowd I managedto pull together

for your little shindig.

You know, not everythinghas to be a competition, Caleb.

Growing up,

my dad always pushed usto be number one,

so I applied that

not only to baseballbut to every aspect of my life.

You miss it, don't you?

You know,the restaurant business

was always the fall-back plan.

I enjoy it, don't get me wrong--

It just wasn'twhat you were meant to do.

Why don't you trysomething else?

The million-dollar question.

I've been asking myself thata long time.

You know, my mom used to saylife is what you make of it.

That, and you have to make sureyou fulfill your potential.

Now, there'san intimidating prospect.

It was for a long time.

Until my chefand mentor, Franco,

said somethingthat really stuck with me.

He said, in the end,

you only regretthe chances you never took.

Spoken like a man who's takenhis share of chances.

Okay, the results are in.

The number-one dish,hands down, was...

seafood empanadillas!

I knew it.

So that's definitelywhat we should serve

at this year'sTaste of Summer Festival.

Right?

Oh, I didn't know

you were planningto enter the Festival.

Oh...

yeah, yeah.

I figured...it would be fun.

In that case...

you know what,

I think I will, too.

Great.

The more the merrier.

Yeah.

[Gabby] I was inches awayfrom a clean getaway,

and then Victoria accidentallyspilled the beans to Caleb

about the festival.

So whatif he enters the festival?

Do you really think

his cuisine stands a chanceagainst yours?

It's not even that.

You know, I just feel thatwe're finally in a good place.

We're amicable.

And now we're going to beon opposing teams again.

It's calledthe "Taste of Summer Festival."

Yes, there isa competitive element to it,

but, really,

it's an opportunity for youto showcase your food

along with all the otherrestaurants in the area.

So we all walk away winners.

[Christina] Essentially. Yes.

Yeah, but only one restaurantwalks away with the grand prize.

I don't know who's rubbing offon who these days,

but if you ask me,

the two of youare more alike than you think.

Okay, let's go!

[Christina] Here they are!My little champions.

If we beat the Oriolesat today's game,

we win the pennant.

How exciting!

Are you nervous?

Not really...

but I'm pretty sure my dad is.

Maybe just a little.

Yes!

Okay, welcome to Delaney'sfirst official staff meeting.

Now, I'm hoping to make thisa staple around here

because I've come to realize

that we allto step up our game--

starting with yours truly.

Now, Trevor's put someamazing new things on the menu,

which has got me thinking

that the time is long overdue

for us to participate

in this year'sTaste of Summer Festival.

Who still thinks our best dishis the smoked brisket?

While it's no doubta contender,

I think we needto push ourselves

a little harderif we really want to win.

Okay. What do you have in mind?

When people thinkof New England,

they think of lobster.

And what better dishto represent Delaney's

than our father'sclassic recipe for...

Drum roll, please...

Lobster rolls!

Wow.

Hey. Em.Taste this.

What do you think?

It's awesome.

Okay, then...

scratch the brisketand dial in the lobster rolls.

It's a home run.

Speaking of, Coach.

Don't you twohave a game to win?

Just putting on my game face.

Let's go.

Huh? Huh?

[fans cheering]

Tie score,bases loaded, two outs,

and Emily's up to bat--

Oh, boy...

All she has to dois get on base

and bring Sophia home...

and we win the championship.

Okay.

Come on!

You can do it, Emily!

You just keep your eyeon the ball.

You've got this, okay?

I've got this.

[umpire] Batter!

Come on, Emily.Bring me home!

Oh, the pressureshe must be feeling.

[umpire] Strike!

Oh, that's alright,that's alright.

Wait for your pitch.

Come on, Em.

[umpire] Strike two!

Come on, Emily!You can do this.

I know you can!

[exhales]

[fans cheering]

Run on anything.

Run on anything, okay?

[fans cheering]

Yes!

Caleb must be so proudof Emily.

He's not the only one.

[♪♪]

-Good coaching.-Thanks, Ump.

Girls...

each and every one of youearned this today.

As for me and Coach Matthew...

we couldn't be more proud.

I hope today's experience

has taught you something

about the limitlesspossibilities

that lie ahead of youif you just give it your all.

Sorry.

Allergy season.

This young lady right here...

...she reminded meof that important lesson...

which makes today's victoryall the more meaningful.

Way to go, Blue Jays!

Blue Jays! Whoo!

Nice speech, Coach.

Thanks...

except for the partwhere I got all choked up.

I wasn't expecting that.

That's what made it genuine.

I'm sure those girls

are going to rememberthat speech

for the rest of their lives.

I hope so.

Your fatherwould be very proud, too.

Thanks.

So...

I assume your famoussmoked brisket

will be on the menutomorrow at the festival?

Actually, no.

I've decided onanother winning dish.

Oh!

You want to tell mewhat that is?

No, I don't.

Come on, Caleb.That's not fair.

You know what I'm serving,

and you had a chanceto taste it.

-And it was delightful.-Well, thank you very much.

You know what tastesjust a wee bit better?

Victory.

How did I knowyou were going to say that?

[school bell ringing]

Principal Watkins,

I know I'm probably notthe obvious candidate

for the job openingof head coach,

but no one has the loveand deep respect for the game

like I do.

That may be so, Mr. Delaney,

but the challenge for me,as administrator,

is, well, your lackof formal teaching experience.

Maybe in the classroom,but not on the field.

My years of coaching

will prove to youthat I know how to motivate.

This season,

I led the Bright Shore Blue Jaysto win the championship.

That's right, yes.I heard.

Congratulations.

Thank you, thank you.

Look, Principal,

I'm here...

because I truly believe

that this is what I'm meantto do with my life.

I was obsessed with winning,

but coaching has shown me

the value of somethingfar more important,

and that is making a differencein a child's life.

Mr. Delaney, I appreciateyour candor and your passion,

and you've certainly given mea lot to consider.

Okay, well...

thank you.

[Christina]No rest for the weary, huh?

I didn't even hear youcome in last night.

I was prepping for the Festival

and getting ready for today'slunch and dinner menu

at the restaurant.

Wow. You really are firingon all cylinders these days.

I've got a little momentum.

I want to keep it going.

[Christina]I've got to be honest, Gabby.

I've never seen you lookso happy.

I mean it.

It's as if you took overthat restaurant

thinking you'd turn it around,

and in the end,it's turned you around.

It's given me somethingI needed for the longest time.

Something to believe in.

Myself.

And you seemto have brought out

a softer side in Caleb.

That speechon the field yesterday

nearly had me in tears.

I know.

Yeah, it's those brief momentsof humility,

you know,when he shows that,

and honesty,

that have me wonderingif deep down inside

there's actually,

like, a very sweet guywaiting to come out.

Well, I'd like to think

that there's a better versioninside all of us.

I saw it in you.

I'll get the cilantro.

[dings]

Quite a differencein the place.

I sure like what I see.

I like what I tasteeven better.

Why have you beenholding out on us?

I've been asking myself thata lot lately.

[bell dings]

We're nearly preppedfor tomorrow.

I just want to make sure

we toast the bunsseconds before the rolls go out.

The heat really brings outthe texture of the lobster.

You know,I've got to say, Trevor,

I never knew you hadsuch a passion for the business.

Well, you never really gave mea chance to show it.

And that's my fault, okay?

But moving forward,

I want you to havemore responsibility

in the day to day.

If that's what you want?

Very much so.

Done.

So...what's with this get-up?

I wasn't going to say anything,

but I met with the Principal

down atBright Shore High School

and put my name in the hatfor the new head coach position.

-No way!-Way!

I probably won't get it.

[Trevor] It doesn't matter.

At least you're finallyputting yourself out there.

Yeah.

I decided I needed to starttaking more chances in life.

I'm really glad to hear it.

Thanks.

So why the sudden turnaround?

I guess watching someonefollow their dream

reminded me

that it's never too lateto start pursuing my own.

Well, regardlessof whether you get it,

do me a favor...

keep this new Caleb around?

I'm reallystarting to like him.

Yeah.

Alright, back to work.

[Gabby] The last orderof the evening just went out.

Sergio, go home.

I'll clean up.

I don't mind staying, Chef.

I want you to havea good night's sleep

so you are ready to gofor the Festival tomorrow!

Come on.

-Got it, Chef.-Go.

Chef, the last guestout on the patio

wants to speak to youabout their dish.

Was there a problem?

I don't know.

They just askedto speak to you.

Alright,you can leave, Victoria.

I'll see youbright and early, okay?

-Great.-Go rest.

[Gabby] It's you.

I couldn't resist one lasttaste of the competition.

Of course you couldn't.

[Caleb]It really is delicious.

I've got to be honest,

I'm a little jealousof your talent in the kitchen.

Wow, a genuine compliment

followed by another doseof humility.

Please, sit.

Look...

I know I've probably beena bit of a handful

for you to deal withthese past few weeks,

but I just wanted youto know that...

watching you create all of thisfrom nothing,

it's really inspired meto take a look at my own life.

Caleb,

I think that's the nicest thinganyone has ever said to me.

Since we're being honest,

I don't think

I would have signed the leaseto this restaurant so quickly

if you hadn't rattled me.

Yeah, I tend to havea real knack for that.

Well, we both havea big day ahead of us.

I want you to know that,

win or lose,

I hope we can remain friends.

Nice start.

Let's fire up the fryers

so we can get readyfor the empanadillas.

On it, Chef.

I wonder what Delaney's

is planning to servefrom their menu.

Maybe I should go overand find out, huh?

Say hello.

Good morning.

Hey. Sleep well?

Not really,with the long day ahead.

Me too.

I felt like I've been goingoff pure adrenaline

these past few days.

Hey, Caleb, can you tell me

if this lobster rollcan use a tad more paprika?

[Caleb] Yeah.

You're making lobster roll?

Seriously?

When you didn't tell me

what you were planningon serving,

I certainly didn't expectfor you to copy my dish.

Wait.

No, Gabby.It's not like that.

Oh, really?

Because I don't recall

seeing lobster rollon the menu before.

Or maybe I inspiredthis change in you, too.

Just when I thought

that we put the competitionbetween us aside

to finally become friends.

You really can't help yourself.

Gabby.

These are the festival judges.

Oh.

This is Barbara Gallagher

with the MassachusettsFood Journal.

Pleasure to meet you.

And Hank McMannon.

Restaurant criticwith the Channel 16 News.

Hi.

And Peter Feldon.

He writes a popular blog

showcasing New England'shidden restaurant gems.

Well, I hopemy seafood empanadillas

Well, we'll let you get backto prepping your dish for today.

Nice meeting you.

[Christina] Right this way.

Ow!

Sergio, be careful.What happened?

It's just hot oil, Chef.I'll be fine.

Oh, my goodness.

You really burned your hand.Give me a towel!

You really have to getthis checked.

There's a first-aid tentnear the entrance.

Should I take him over?

Yeah. Would you, please?

But, Chef,you'll be all alone.

I'll handle it.

Come on,just make sure you're okay.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Oh, it looks likeGabby just lost all her staff.

She can't do all that prepby herself.

Well, we've got thingscovered over here.

Why don't you go help her?

I'm pretty sure

I'm the last personshe'll want help from.

Maybe...

but you'll never knowif you don't ask.

Take a shot.

Gabby, let me help.

I'm fine.

I can do this alone.

I know you can.

Please? I want to do this.

Alright then...

I'm going to start plating.

-Okay. On it.-Be careful, please.

Yeah.

Okay, and now we have

Grandma Susie'sChili and Corn Bread.

Enjoy. Thank you.

[Christina] Hey, girls.

June's Gelatois giving out free samples.

I can see that.

I think they're alsohanding out free napkins.

It's called "empanadilla."

And this is Uncle John's BistroChicken and Waffles.

Hi. I really hope you enjoy it.

You are tasting

Delaney's freshly-made,local lobster rolls.

The acidity of the lemon

really brings out the flavorof the lobster.

Nice job.

Thanks, Hank.

Hi. Is Sergio okay?

They think it might bea second-degree burn

so they're taking himto the emergency room.

Okay.

I just put another batchinto the fryer.

What else can I do?

I think we have everythingback under control.

I'll leave you to it then.

Okay.

Caleb.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Caleb Delaney just crossedenemy lines to help out?

He really must like you.

Today, Gabby's servinga seafood empanadilla.

It is a fried delicacy

consisting of shrimp,lobster and scallops.

It is a dishnative of Puerto Rico,

where I was born.

[Christina]Any questions for Gabby?

Sorry. Hey.

[♪♪]

-There you go.-Enjoy.

-Hi.-Hey.

Look...

I should have told youabout the lobster rolls.

It's just--

ever since Trevorhas taken over in the kitchen,

the restauranthas really come alive,

and the lobster rolls...

it's our dad's old recipe.

So I'm sorry.

And again,I should have told you,

but I meant everything I saidlast night.

I'm starting to believe you.

Good.

So... how do you feel?

To be honest, I'm wiped.

It's been a long day.

I'm just--I'm glad it's over.

Not quite.

I think there's someone

that might wantto say hello to you.

Chef Franco?

What is he doing here?

Caleb.

-Hi.-How are you?

Good. Good to see you.

-Hey.-Hey, Caleb.

Good to see you.

I would like to introduce youto Superintendent Meyers.

-Pleasure to meet you, sir.-Good to meet you.

I hear a lot of good thingsabout you, young man,

which is why Margaret insistedI come down to meet you myself

before we makethe final decision...

Thank you.I appreciate that.

[Gabby] Thank you so muchfor coming up,

but how did you know that I--

Your friend, Caleb,

sent me an e-mail,inviting me up.

He told me I needed to see

how much my former protégéehas blossomed.

Thank you for inviting Franco.

That wasincredibly sweet of you,

and it meant a lot to me.

I owed you one...

I went downto my old high school
