Teenager Dean Winchester aspires to become a full-time chef in his father John's family food truck and surpass his father's culinary skills, but John gets a big offer that requires him to travel around the world and park the food truck, so he has De...
Now that the gauntlet has been thrown, The first thing Dean thinks is, I think I'm starting to get why I'm really here.
Then he smiles, stands up, pulls out his bandana again, and says, "Coming right up."
But then he remembers, "Your family's restaurant is high end southern comfort, isn't it?"
Garth doesn't seem offended by this, just asks, "How'd you come to that conclusion?"
Dean immediately answers, "Because a tenderloin dish prepared this well would not be out of place on a menu like that. You can't prepare it just anywhere."
Dean looks at the dish again, It was so juicy. And the choice to put a mustard sauce with sour cream and shallots added, makes it a tart and still smooth match for the tenderloin. Tenderloin doesn't have a seasonal limit on it, so he could pair it with thyme and the white wine in the mustard. It's like southern comfort in springtime!
Then Dean says out loud, "Tenderloin...I got it!" He turns back to Garth, "Winchester Mystery's number 21 on our secret menu!"
Garth asks, curious, "Winchester Mystery?"
Dean explains as he ties his bandana around his head, "Name of our family food truck. I'll use beef tenderloin too. Very popular dish. And what the hell, I'll use spring themed ingredients too."
Dean and Garth go straight down to the kitchen, where Dean sharpens his knives and gets to work, pouring some leftover chicken and beef stock in a saucepan to reduce it.
A while later, back in Kevin's room, Jo wakes up first, complaining, "I think I fell asleep."
Then Claire wakes up, "Me too. Think I had a little too much special apple cider."
But upon hearing the sound of something sizzling in a pan, they all turn their heads towards the door. "Huh?"
Jo asks first, "Is Dean actually cooking?"
Claire deduces, "Guy's got a bottomless pit for a stomach. Probably woke up hungry."
"No, they're facing off." Comes from the other side of the room, prompting them to turn towards Meg.
Jo asks, "Meg! You were still awake all this time?" Then she realizes what Meg just said. "Wait, they're actually having a cooking battle?! When did this happen?!"
Meg rolls her eyes as she answers, "No clue. All I know is it was Garth that gave the challenge."
That makes them all go down to the kitchen, and upon seeing them both, Jo just asks, "Um, shouldn't we be more concerned about someone's lack of clothes besides boxers?"
Claire waves it off, "Oh who cares? Let's not be a mood killer now of all times, shall we?"
Meanwhile, Dean finishes with the vegetables, cooks the meat, then gets it all on the plate, telling Garth enthusiastically, "Order up! This here is Winchester Mystery Truck's secret menu number 20: Upgraded! Beef Tenderloin with Spring Vegetables."
