I came out to LA for a Clippers game once and I think we had a couple of drinks and we went to Islands. - And I think she had... - What happened between you two? You know what? It doesn't matter. Here's what happened. We're talking about a white-on-white '88 Chevy Grumman food truck. It's a blank canvas for your dreams. I'm gonna have 'em pull it around.

I gotta watch this too? When I find out who it is, grab your ankles, 'cause here comes papi chulo. Where we at? Talk to me, people. How we doing? The stock's simmering, the pig's broken down, bacon are fine. The stock is simmering. That means reducing. Good. Guys, big night tonight. You all know what's happening? Yeah? OK, let me know as soon as he's here. I want people having fun at all the tables around. Call your pretty friends, bring 'em in. Tell 'em the tickets are on me. The stemware looks crooked. Let's get out there. Don't make me get the fucking ruler out. Thank you. - Oh, Chef. - I got the good shit. - You see this, Martin? - Look at that. That's a specimen. - Baby carrots. - I got you curry paste with... - Copy that. Copy that. - Carl. Not right now, please.

What the hell's Riva doing here? I don't know. He was on his way back here. I got him espresso, bought you five minutes of time. You should meet him out on the floor. Stall him for five minutes. Let me get the staff going. Please. OK. Fine. Expect him to come back here. Yeah, thank you. How you gonna keep that psychopath from coming back here? - You gotta have a plan. - You want me to pickle these? Yeah, pickle these. I want you to pickle... - Is Carl in there? - Yeah. Hey, Carl! Carl. Are you, uh... are you planning on altering the menu? Yeah, I can't do this right now. Please, just... - You know a lot is on the line today. - I know. That's why the menu has to be perfect. - But I can help you plan it. - I can't do this right now. Give me five minutes with my staff, I'll walk you through the menu. I've done this before. I can help guide you. I don't need guidance right now. I need space.

That's from New Orleans. You ever heard of New Orleans? - Yeah. - Yeah? It's part of the United States. It's part of the Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon. Yeah. Um, that was... I mean, like, now. That was a long time ago. - 1803. - Whatever. Talking about the food, the culture, you know? Like this andouille sausage. - Beignets. You ever hear of that? - We can get it here. Not the same. When you have it here, it's good because it reminds you of, like, a whole world of memories that you have of being there. 'Cause it's like... I'm telling you, it's like a whole different world. - We should go there sometime. - Definitely. - For real? - Yeah. I mean, not now. - But, like... - When? I don't know. I got... Everything's very full for me.

What exactly are you doing here? I'm, uh... eating the food. I'm eating your food. I thought my food was needy and cloying. Well, I didn't think you'd want to serve me, so I sent somebody else to pick it up. What happened between us, that really knocked me for a loop. I mean, you robbed me of my pride and my career and my dignity. And I know people like you don't usually care about that kind of thing. That's not necessarily true. But you should know, it hurts people like me. - 'Cause we're really trying. - You started a flame war with me. Are you kidding me? I buy ink by the barrel, buddy. What are you doing picking a fight with me? I wouldn't challenge you to a cook-off. I thought I was sending you a private message. I didn't know that. I thought we were having fun. It was theatre. By the way, what the fuck were you cooking? You totally shat the bed, buddy. How could I back that? You were one of my early boys. I had no control over the menu. Whatever the case, OK? You seem to be cooking for yourself again. Because this shit is sensational. I mean, really, really good. Thank you. I'm not gonna write about it. Yeah. I understand. Because I'd like to back you.

You're almost... Even now, as you get further, Jon, you're getting in, like, assertive now. You're changing... Even your grip's here. - Mm-hm. - Changing your positions. You're moving around. But you're not too busy with it. You're... You're precise, but then sometimes you step back. - Nothing else exists except this. - Right. This is the only thing that exists in this world right now. And if you fuck this up, everything sucks in the world.
