The episode begins with Tommie and Nikki from CORE trying to find the perfect townhouse for their client Chef Marc Forgione. As a chef, Marc understands the importance of using the right ingredients to create the perfect dish. Similarly, he wants to find a home that has all the right ingredients to meet his needs and preferences. Together, they explore various townhouses in the city, including one that Marc particularly likes, but there's one small problem - the living space is split between four floors, and the chef is not keen on climbing so many stairs! So, Tommie and Nikki have to find a solution that suits Marc's needs.

Meanwhile, broker Brian Lewis from Halstead Property is working with his client, Michel Cohen, to find the perfect restaurant space. Michel, who has lived in New York for over 30 years and owns a successful catering business, is ready to take the next step and open his own restaurant. Brian takes Michel to check out a few spaces, but none of them stand out to the client. However, he falls in love with a loft in SoHo that Brian shows him. The space has potential, but it will require some significant renovations to turn it into a restaurant. Despite the challenges, Michel is ready to take the risk and invest in the property.

As the episode progresses, we also see Warburg broker Richard Steinberg on the hunt for a rental property in Tribeca for his client, just in time for the holidays.
