- Why are you doing that? - What?
Why are you trying to put a T-shirt on a fuckin' hot dog?
Kids love hot dogs, dumbass.
I know. That's why we're making 'em fuckin' hot dogs, dumbass.
Yeah, exactly, Cousin. It's a tie-in.
This shit is exposure, baby.
I don't need you exposing anything.
It's a fuckin' hot dog in a Beef T-shirt.
- That shit is hilarious. - Go grab me some propane.
You know what, first of all,
I didn't wanna be doing this bullshit right now.
Aight, you know what? Then don't borrow money from Cicero
you can't pay back, and then we don't have to cater
little fuckin' kid's birthday parties.
- How about that? - I didn't borrow shit, Cousin!
You know what? It doesn't even matter. It's on me now.
I don't wanna get my legs broken, so shut the fuck up
- and help me out, please. - If that motherfucker
gets even close to us, I'm gonna fucking drop his ass.
Okay, look, just help me out. Let's do this right.
- Get it over with. - Look, second of all, you have no idea
the amount of administrative correspondence
I'm supposed to be doing in there today, okay?
It is fucking bonkers.
- Correspondence? Is that right? - Yeah. You know,
you like to shit on my system, but I run a tight ship,
and I get back to my cohorts
and my associates in a timely fashion.
-Aight, do me a favor. Just n-name a cohort. -Name...
N-name an associate. Just one fucking person. I dare you.
Timothy, but I-I'm not... I'm not fucking...
-Gimme a hand. -It's not gonna fit. That's not gonna fit, Cousin.
- Yes, it will! - It's not gonna fit!
- Can you just help me out? - It's not gonna fit!
It's not gonna fucking fit!
Come on!
- You want some of this shit? You want some of this? Fucking guy!
Yeah! Yeah! You fucking baby!
Fucking baby!
Morning.
Ah! Fuck!
Look what you did. Fucking baby.
Alright, I'm gonna get the spare from the basement.
Hey, Marcus, enjoying the counter space?
Yeah, I mean, not having to do bread anymore
is the shit.
- Chefs, new prep list is up! - Please check it out!
Thank you.
Chef, can you do me a favor and try this?
Yeah, sure.
- Whoa. - Good whoa?
Great whoa.
- It's good. - Thank you, Chef.
Hey. Uh,
did you remember the mashed potatoes? Just wanted to check in.
Uh, did you remember when I said to fuck off?
Okay. "Fuck off" isn't yes.
Well, "fuck off" means I know how to do it.
Alright, well, it's a new recipe...
- What I just say? - Okay, well,
just make sure when you do it, the heat isn't too high...
I answer to Jeff. The system.
Listen, I'm... I'm not trying to be a tight-ass.
I don't want you to think I'm, like,
- up in your space. - No...
I'm just doing what I was asked to do.
And I get what it's like to be...
- a woman in the kitchen... - Do you know what it's like
to be a woman in the kitchen? Wow.
That's amazing. Listen. I have been
in this kitchen since before you were born,
so you just back the fuck off.
Excuse me!
Yo! Yo!
Oh my god. Cousin, you gotta see this shit.
Yo, this dude is trying to fuck up this little nerd,
and the fucking nerd just washes him, bro!
Yo, why the fuck are you on the Kennedy?
Chill the fuck out. Cicero lives in Naperville.
No! Fucking...
Cicero's in Wilmette now.
- You gotta get on the fucking Edens... - Shit. No, no,
th-that's right. That's right. That's my bad.
It's all good though. I'm in no hurry to see that motherfucker.
I swear to God, Cousin, if he calls me "Rick,"
I'ma fucking lose it.
Cousin, listen, do me a favor, okay?
I'm trying to get us out of this hole, alright?
I want today to go smooth.
Please do not bring that shit up.
Chill. I'm not gonna bring up shit, alright?
- No, you got it all wrong! - It's literally the easiest
fucking job a person can do!
I'm the only one who stands up to your ass...
The phone rings, there's a problem...
- It wasn't my phone! - You call an electrician or a plumber, that's it!
I've been saying this shit for fucking years! It wasn't my fuckin' phone!
"Oh, Cicero! I'm your guy! I got a kid now, Cicero.
- I need a fucking real job." - You think I don't know how to pick up a goddamn phone?
"Oh, Cicero, can I have tickets to The Lion King?"
...pick up a fucking goddamn phone and we don't even know
how she fell down those stairs.
You want us to get this stuff out back or
how do you, uh...
Yeah, take it around the side for me, will you?
- Around the side, sure. - Yeah, thanks, Rick.
I fucking hate when you call me fucking Rick!
I fucking hate it when you don't answer your phone!
Food's here, kiddies!
That was nice. Thank you for that. That was good.
Carmen? Is that you?
Hey, Mr. Szorski. How are you?
I thought you'd killed yourself.
No. Sir, that was my brother.
Bullshit.
- That motherfucker is complete fucking bullshit. - Hey,
- perfect timing. I already did everything, dick. - Who does he think he is?
You know he's not even Italian, right?
100% Polish. Fucking insulting.
You know you're not even Italian, right?
Yeah. I'm more Italian than that guy is.
Turn on the grill. I gotta get the dogs going.
Just... give me a second here.
Richie, what the fuck is that?
Relax. Shit's regulated.
I suffer from anxiety and dread.
- Who doesn't? - You want half?
No.
Which, uh, box you put the ketchup in?
- Hm? - The ketchup. Which box?
I didn't bring ketchup.
Why don't you bring ketchup?
What kind of asshole is gonna put
ketchup on a hot dog?
A child, Richie.
Child asshole.
You're a child asshole.
Yo, yo, Cousin, what's up with all this gay-ass fruit?
Homemade Ecto-Cooler, motherfucker.
Oh... shit.
That's actually pretty fucking dope.
Rest in peace, Harold.
One bite of a donut brings much joy.
Two bites brings sadness.
I mean, nobody doesn't love that first bite of a donut.
It used to be my favorite when I was a kid.
- Sweet tooth? - Yeah, but not even the taste.
I just loved looking at them. The colors and the textures.
There was this one donut that I used to love
that I could never get out of my head.
Jelly filled, bright purple, sweet and tangy.
Yeah. Family was always happy whenever we got donuts.
- Hard not to be, young man. - Yeah, yeah.
- My guys! - Wow. Chester, yes.
- Wow. Thank you. - Yeah.
- Love you. - Of course, bro.
- Love you, dog. - Yes! Ebra.
- Chester. - Hi, honey.
What up, T? What you got over there?
Mashed potatoes. Woo-hoo! Wish I had that.
Oh, uh, new edition. All the fresh colors.
I put a flag on 18-32-24.
It's this radiant orchid that's fly as fuck!
Hey, thank you so much. I'ma get this back to you.
Behind! What is good with the beef?
Oh, yes, Chef.
- Taking it out now. - Thank you.
- Sup... Hey. - Hey.
- Who are you? Sorry. - Oh, sorry.
Chester, this is Chef Sydney.
- Uh, Sydney, this is my roommate, Chester. - Hi,
- Chester... roommate. - Hey, Chef Sydney.
Cool. Uh, why are you here? Sorry.
Oh, getting my boy dialed.
Dropping off some inspirational materials.
- He's a designer. - Oh!
- What do you design? - All of it.
I'm out. I'll see you at home, my G.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. I'll get it back to you. -Of course.
- Great to meet you, Chef Sydney. - You, too.
- Good luck with the meeting. - Oh, thanks.
Yeah, I'm meeting a brand ambassador,
so I can't be smelling like fucking hot giardiniera.
Alright, I'm out.
Huh. Pantone colors?
Yeah, I was thinking
maybe I could do a classic donut for The Beef?
On top of my other stuff, of course.
- Yeah. - But, I mean, I think it could be hot.
Yeah. I mean, donuts are deceptively hard,
but... You know, require a lot of equipment, too.
I don't know if this is the most stocked place in the world.
I want it to be perfect. Like that plum.
- The one Carmy was telling us about. - Mm. Michelin mode.
Yeah. I mean, I don't know.
It-it could be, like, limited edition or something.
If you're into it, then I'm into it.
Let me know what you need for help, alright?
-Alright. Gladly. Thank you, Chef. -Alright.
- Good luck. - Alright.
Hey, all good?
- All good, Chef. - All good, Chef.
Cool. Uh, Sweeps is rocking family.
Angel, how you feel about salad?
- Absolutely, Chef. - Gorgeous. Thank you.
- You think I can get family today? - You know you don't work here.
- Hey, Chef. How's it going? - Good, Chef.
- Try the new chocolate cake? - Oh, yes.

It was literally the best restaurant in the world.

Fucker drops off a gift, and now he won't leave.

Will you please use a salt bed next time like I asked?
Why you always, like, watching me?
'Cause it's just sort of my job. Also, um,
maybe we don't use, like,
gross kitchen towels.

Fuck...
Why did you do this?
Because I don't have time to fuck around.
You're welcome, Chef.
Damn.
Coffee?
No. No, I'm good.
Hey, when is that from?
Repeat party, Grant Park, '92.
You ever miss him?
I didn't really know him well enough to miss him.
You?
Sometimes.
You know, we were so close in age, more like...
more like a friend than family. You know, we were...
the same kind of problems around the same time. We...
had a lot to talk about.
Sounds nice.
It was.
When was the last time you talked to him?
Uh...
Around 20 years ago.
We had a gnarly fight, man.
- What was it about? - Million things.
You know, drugs, alcohol, gambling,
mostly because he just insisted
on doing stupid fuckin' shit all the time.
You know he had a new career, like, every 10 minutes?
Wanted to be a broker,
and then he wanted to be a defensive coordinator.
I'm dead serious.
And then,
some asshole invested in Ed Debevic's,
and, you know, suddenly, he's a restaurateur.
- Sounds about right. - Yeah.
Really stuck your poor ma with that place. Man.
I mean, don't you find it impossible
being in there 24 hours a day?
I-I'm in there for five minutes,
I start thinking about bad shit.
Ah, that's probably why I like it so much.
Yep. Probably why you wanna fix it, too.
Probably.
Just, you know...
Just don't be too disappointed if it...
doesn't necessarily happen. Alright?
You know I'm not gonna sell it to you, right?
I know that.
Had a dream about him once, your dad.
We were up in, um...
like Lake Geneva...
or someplace, and we-we're going along.
We're driving along in this car, big SUV.
He's in the passenger seat, and we're driving fast,
like, really fast.
And I can't get control.
You know, it's like bumpy cars flying all over the place.
He wouldn't put on his seatbelt.
Suddenly, this little kid...
a little boy, he walks right out in the middle of the road.
I jam on the brakes really hard.
Car stops like a millimeter away from him.
But, your dad,
he goes flying through the windshield,
but he never lands.
He keeps on flying.
What happened to the kid?
I stood there waving at him.
Well, on a, uh, on a sunnier note, you have, um...
you have knocked 2K off your tab. Congrats.
Nice seg.
I'm the Seg King.
- So, what do we owe you now? 298,000? - 298,050.
- What's that 50 about? - Shipping and handling.
Fucking asshole.
Come on.
- Chef, how close are the potatoes? - One minute!
- Go ahead. Get it over with. - Get what over with?
Taste it and tell me it's shitty.
- It's great. Thanks, Chef. - What?
It's great. Thank you, Chef.
Now, uh, let's hurry up and roll before we get rolled, yeah?
