Young & Hungry

I can't believe it's been a month

since I left Josh and that sick relationship.

I mean, I got sucked into such a deep hole,

I lost sight of myself and my dreams, but,

boy, heh, have things turned around for me.

- Gabi Diamond is back... - (clink)

and better than ever.

- (Man) Gabi! Hairnet! - Oh, sorry! My bad!

You know, one month ago, I was a mess.

I was depressed. I was in a screwed up relationship with my chef.

I hit rock bottom, my friend.

But Kaminski's back, baby...

and better than ever.

Okay...

ah, we have two breakfast burritos, two hash browns, two chips,

two sides of guac, and one fork.

See you at lunch.

Yolanda, what kind of birthday cake do you want for your party again?

It's really hard to keep track of all the cakes you eat.

It's the Peanut Butter Dream from Jan's Cake House.

I mean, you should know it.

It's right next to that store that sells dress clothes for toddlers.

Okay, here's the address.

And just so I know you went,

bring me back a cupcake.

Now, I have a problem.

In addition to drinking, gambling, and overeating?

I have to send out the e-vites,

and I don't know what is going on with Josh and Gabi.

Now, I thought they'd be talking by now, but they're not.

Isn't it great?

No! Obviously I have to invite Josh.

I mean, he's my boss and he's hostin' and payin'.

But I don't know what to do about Gabi.

If you don't invite her, she'll be really hurt.

- Yeah. - Can I tell her?

I want all the people I love to be there.

Even my daughter's trying to get leave from the military.

I mean, how many times am I going to turn 50?

Once, and that was ten years ago.

What are you guys talking about?

Yolanda was gonna send out the e-vites for her 50th,

and because you and Gabi aren't talking,

she's not gonna invite her.

Yay!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Of course you're inviting her, Yolanda.

It's your big day.

So, you don't have a problem seeing her?

And her seeing you?

Oh, yeah, I get it.

Might be a little uncomfortable for her to see how great I'm doing without her.

But don't worry, not gonna rub it in.

I'll be the bigger person.

Yes, you are.

I'm gonna go send those invites out right now!

Well, I really admire your confidence.

Are you sure you're gonna be able to handle this?

Handle what?

Gabi seeing this!

What are you doing?

You're fat, Josh. You're fat.

I'm not gonna glaze over it,

even though I know you love anything glazed,

'cause you're fat!

Need I remind you that when we were in Hawaii,

you said I had a body built for Speedos?

Well, now it's built from Fritos.

I have not gained any weight since then.

Good. Well, I just picked up the suit you wore to the Dingo Awards.

Why don't you try it on?

Okay, I will, and it's gonna fit beautifully.

I'm gonna show you, I have not gained any weight.

Show me.

Oh, my God, I'm fat!

Elliot, I cannot let Gabi see me like this.

- Yolanda! Don't send out the... - (phone chimes)

invites.

Hi!

Hey! Sofia, great news!

I got bumped up from prep cook to fry cook.

- Ooh! That's amazing. - Mm-hmm.

What's the difference?

Seventy cents an hour. No more minimum wage for this girl.

Life is going pretty great for Gabi.

Well, I am very happy you're happy because we just got an invitation

to Yolanda's 50th birthday...

at Josh's.

What? I can't see Josh! I'm a freakin' fry cook!

Oh, my God, it's him. He's calling. What do I say?

- What if he asks what I'm doing? - Don't answer it.

Fine! I'll answer it!

Hello.

Hey!

Gabi, it's Josh, your former boss.

And other stuff.

Oh. Hi, Josh. It's, uh, me, Gabi,

which... you know 'cause you called me.

So did you get the invite to Yolanda's birthday?

I did.

So... are you coming? Not coming?

Look, I... If not, I totally get it. I mean...

might be a little embarrassing.

Embarrassing? Why would I be embarrassed?

Well, you know...

coming back to the place where you used to work...

when you're not working.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who told you I'm not working? I'm working.

I have a great job and I love it.

Oh. Really?

Doin' what?

Wh... (gasps)

Giada!

Giada De Laurentiis!

Is who I'm working for.

The delicious Italian food maker?

Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. That's the one.

Best-selling cookbooks, Emmys, her own product line.

She may even be richer than you.

You don't... I doubt it. (chuckles)

So wait, where, um, where did we leave things?

Are you... you comin'? You're not coming?

You're too uncomfortable to come?

Why would I be uncomfortable? I'm working for Giada.

Sounds like you're the one who may have a problem with me coming.

Problem? What? I don't have a problem!

Whole reason for me to... call you is to get you to come.

Great. I'm coming.

Great. Good. See you there.

Son-of-a-bitch, she's coming.

Hey! Hey!

Where's Giada? Where's Giada?

- Where's Giada? - Oh, my God, Gabi,

I asked her to say "Spi-geh-tee,"

and she said, "Spi-geh-tee."

Where is she?

She just came to get a coffee and left.

Why are you freaking out... Oh.

Let me guess.

You told Josh that you were working with Giada because you were embarrassed,

and now you need her to give you a job?

No.

Yes.

Gabi? Hey, I just got your text. What's the emergency?

Ta-dah! Check it out.

Thick slices of ham covered in melted provolone cheese

topped with a vinaigrette slaw

and a saffron aioli dipped in egg batter and deep fried.

Meet The Giada.

Oh, my God, Gabi. This is amazing.

Mm-hmm. Thanks!

So I found out Giada is shooting a special here in town,

so all I gotta do is find her,

give her The Giada, and get her to hire me,

and then by the time I see Josh,

the only thing I'll be full of is "spi-geh-tee."

You know what, Gabi?

As crazy as that plan sounds,

if Giada tastes this sandwich...

she will definitely give you a job.

Right?

I mean, how lucky am I that I was talking to Josh

right when Giada walked in?

Can you imagine if he found out that I was a fry cook?

I guess sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time.

Oh, my God, Gabi's working at a diner.

You are not gonna believe what happened...

You found Giada and gave her The Giada.

Can I tell the story?

So I found out where Giada was shooting her special, right?

And so, I followed the crew back to the hotel,

and when we were in the elevator, I said,

"How cool is it that we're all staying on the same floor as Giada?"

and they said, "No, we're on the fourth floor.

Giada's on the top floor in a suite,"

and I said, "Well, I guess she likes me better."

- (laughs) - So, I went up to the top floor

and I knocked on the presidential suite, and she answered.

She answered her own door, Sofia.

So, I told her that I made her something so good

that when she tastes it, she's gonna have to hire me,

and she said, "How did you get my room number?"

and I said, "Eat my sandwich, Giada!"

And that's when security came

and escorted me off the property.

Somehow I think there's more.

So, I went downstairs and I found Giada's driver,

and I gave him the sandwich to give to her,

and he started eating it, so I yelled at him,

and that's when Giada came down and she gave me this.

Her autograph?

Yes, on the bottom of this restraining order.

Okay.

So, um, just to be clear,

you're not working for Giada?

- Correct. - Ugh.

And I can't go to Yolanda's birthday party. I can't face Josh.

Hey, girls.

Hey, Yolanda.

I just found out my daughter's not gonna make my party.
