Having a truly world-class chef in the neighbourhood would really help put Uraidla on the map.
We've already got people like Ben Zhao putting us on the map.
Yeah, well, I'm talking the world map, not the local street directory. Now, our industry needs... needs revitalising. Imagine what someone like me could do with a space like this.
Yeah. Well, I've outgrown this space but I am looking for a long-term tenant.
Well...
What's your vision for this space? Diana? It says here you are quite the wunderkind.
Oh! (CHUCKLES) I don't know. I don't refer to myself as a wunderkind. I'm not that arrogant - that's more his style. But yeah, my vision... I guess family, really, is the key. Like, I use my grandma June's recipes as inspo, which are the same ones that Easton grew up with...
Yeah. Well, when I was a kid...
So my vision really is, like, about, like, super-personal, super-now food-porn. Think, like, pastry queen Christina Tosi banging barbecue king Francis Mallmann...
Yeah, oh, and obviously, this is all in the context of... of a fine-dining establishment.
I like it.
What I'm suggesting is us partnering up. Uh, you provide the space, we provide the talent and we can... yeah, we can negotiate profit share.
You want free rent?
Oh, no. What I want is an investor with the smarts and the brains to see what a no-brainer this is. I mean... Uh, I mean, Diana's gonna be the next big thing.
I'm working on the vines tomorrow and we stop for lunch at 1:00. Bring a dessert.
Done.
And your business plan.
Thanks for your time, Ms Duplass.
It's Margot.
Why do I feel like I've just been to see the headmistress?
Yeah - a headmistress you want to get spanked by, I bet, you naughty boy.
Don't f*** this up.
(LAUGHS) "Please, Miss, I've been a naughty boy! Spank me!"
Will you just grow up?
