  • The first time I made Lub,

  • and it was with a boy in my class

  • named Toby.

  • We were at a bonfire on the beach,

  • and we snuck away

  • behind the breakwater

  • to discover one another.

  • - (Frankie) Full is a garden of

  • sensual experience

  • the fay of earthly adrenaline

  • a restaurant

  • with no silverware

  • because we eat off each other's genitals

  • - For a number of years,

  • Laura was a member of a commune

  • in southern Argentina.

  • She ran the kitchen

  • I think it was a sex cult.

  • - I didn't even know that I had a passion

  • for cooking

  • but when I saw the communal nature of it

  • how it brings people together

  • how

  • putting soft items in our mouths

  • heals bodies and souls for all eternity

  • how powerful it is to

  • lock eyes with someone as they

  • say

  • "oh, yeah, uh-huh, mhmm, mhmm,

  • right okay

  • right

  • oh"

  • (laughing)

  • (deep breath in)

  • "oh my, mmhm, mmhm, (breaths in) Mmmhm!"

  • who brought me

  • the most beautiful red snapper filets.

  • She was impressed with my cooking and

  • (deep breath in)

  • and she had amazing shoulders

  • I had always thought in terms

  • of the communal

  • I'd never reserve love for just one person

  • but suddenly,

  • I was head over heels.

  • For once, I was focused on one person.

  • She was my world

  • but it didn't last long

  • (gloomy music)

  • she was

  • eaten by a whale

  • that is how she always wanted to die.

  • Which I guess is nice, but

  • it still hurt

  • and I felt empty

  • (crying) how was I ever going to mend

  • that whole in my heart?

  • How was I gonna get back to my old

  • way of being?

  • How was I ever gonna feel full again?

  • And that is how the concept

  • of Full came to be.

  • I needed to answer my calling

  • I needed to reconnect with community

  • to

  • to fill my void with people

  • and pleasure.

  • - Laura, came out of a sad life event

  • and now has a lot of sex

  • to feel less lonely.

  • genius

  • and that includes her first signature dish

  • called Savage Desire.

  • When you dine with me

  • (voice over) I want you to dine with me,
