chef mike we need you
Season 5, Episode 8
The Granary is run by ambitious entrepreneur Nigel Nieddu. Originally intended as an exclusive club for the rich and famous, Nigel has had to rebrand the restaurant, which now struggles to pull customers and has a poor reputation with the locals for its exclusive impression. Ramsay and Nigel eat lunch together, where it becomes clear that the restaurant does not live up to its focus of modern British food, with too many exotic dishes on the menu (such as shark with mozzarella) that the kitchen staff struggle to cook. The kitchen is run by Martin, who has taken on board two delinquent teenage boys to help them back on track with cooking. Ramsay books the restaurant to half capacity for lunch to test the kitchen, but unused to even these numbers, the staff struggle to keep up. Ramsay identifies that Nigel, who has no experience as a restaurant manager, lacks control over the dining room and has difficulty accepting criticism. Nigel even struggles to delegate tasks to his staff when challenged to put together a prefabricated chicken coop. After convincing Nigel to turn to a simpler British menu and allowing Martin to have more control, the staff host a food fair to bring the community back. The reopening begins well, but Martin struggles with the numbers and fails to show strong leadership under pressure. The kitchen staff lose discipline, although young cook Pete is able to hold himself together. The service is disappointing, with Martin disappointed with himself and Nigel determined to get it right.
Revisiting the restaurant, Ramsay is pleased to find the restaurant is maintaining a steady flow of customers. Martin reveals that he is leaving, after applying for a government grant to set up a workshop to help troubled teenagers through cooking.
Season 5, Episode 1
On his arrival, Ramsay finds that owner and former actor Allan Love is in a fragile emotional state due to the precarious nature of the business and the possibility of losing his house. Allan’s restaurant specialises in fish, which he dislikes, and his two chefs, Jamie and Alex, are lazy and seemingly only interested in the money. Ramsay realises that the restaurant’s fish is too expensive and sub-standard. On taking Alex and Jamie to a local fish market finds that pollock is in plentiful local supply and revises the menu, adding a pollock fish and chips meal which proves popular. Ramsay clashes with Allan over the restaurant’s gaudy decor, which Allan is proud of and initially threatens to stop filming if Ramsay attempts to change it. Allan eventually agrees to allow a makeover, and Ramsay also has the restaurant renamed Love’s Fish Restaurant so as to take advantage of its biggest asset, Allan himself. Jamie is designated head chef, and the full reopening proves a big hit.
Two months later, Ramsay returns to Brighton and covertly orders a takeaway, under the name of “Jimmy”, in a Scottish accent. When he arrives at the restaurant he finds that it is still a big success, and that Alex was fired two days after Ramsay originally left, after he showed up late to work and openly disrespected Allan. After Gordon and Allan enjoy fish and chips on the beach, Allan sings the episode out by performing My Way.

I’m wrestling with a Titanic restaurant sinking into a financial black hole right now yeah the Gran is the biggest sh in h the clueless owner an entrepreneur not a restaurant this hour R mying restaurant it’s not true that’s why you’re in the [ __ ] you [ __ ] fat idiot there’s a couple of young
Offenders in the kitchen witness intimidation assault and the head chef is more like a parole officer who just can’t cope I really can’t be B girl I like this and I don’t want to do it mate why did he walk out why are you asking Me we’re in rural Hampshire where I’ve just bought a really nice tiny Country Cottage and from a chest point of view here you have some of the most amazing produce anywhere in Britain so I’m really looking forward to a nice laidback British country lunch I’m heading for The Granary a huge
200 seater restaurant owned by businessman and property entrepreneur Nigel nedu he thinks his Glam upmarket eery should be earning him a fortune to my mind we’ve invested in all the right things it’s a beautiful place the quality of the food is good we’ve got
Great chefs you know I’m at a bit of a loss to be honest to to understand why the place isn’t busy yeah Nigel’s dream project is failing and it’s an all too familiar Tale in my trade running a successful business doesn’t mean you can run a restaurant I found myself in the
Thick of it really and just basically doing the best I can well you do feel vulnerable I mean it’s like who do you turn to you can only keep digging deeper and deeper yourself but you know I suppose it was uh well that’s why we turned to Gordon here we are despite
Hemorrhaging four grand a week Nigel likes the Finer Things in life and he’s offered to show me the area do a bit more are you good pilot I’m not bad I’m not [Applause] bad I just tell you about the area where we are here uhhuh this is a it’s a very nice very affluent area there seems to be so many swim pools here Nigel convinced himself the wealthy Hampshire locals would flock to a flash exclusive dining
Club so he opened one in 2003 and it cost up to two grand to join for the first night Nigel invited celebrity guests like Jordan we thought we’ cracked it the launch was so incredibly well attended and everyone was so excited by what was happening the feedback was wow this is
The most amazing place we’re all going to be coming here and then uh they none of them did when Nigel’s Playboy project went bust he dropped the joining fee reopened as The Granary but it was too late its local reputation was shot to Pieces Just down here to the left here
Gordon this is the resta Dr okay that’s the kind of cream building there with the nice nice lawn That’s The Granary yeah it looks absolutely beautiful from here my God it’s so big just describe the style of the restaurant [ __ ] we call it um sort of modern British Niger recruited local boy Martin
White to create his vision of a modern British menu so I’m expecting some updated British Classics using homegrown produce from this head chef I especially the British food and I don’t think there’s enough of it around these days you know T stay kidney pudding Cornish past these but Martin’s got a hidden
Past he served 6 months for drug offenses and cooking was his salvation went back into training literally in the prison kitens and there were some really good uh Chef prison officers who took me under their wing and you know just kept out of trouble and when I got out you
Know I went straight back to work because of his past Martin wants to help other teenage terway he has two on his cookery Apprentice scheme cocky Pete is 18 and is known to the police I’ve done a few naughty things and that got in trouble with the law and
Now I’ve obviously found what God send which happens to be cooking which I’m very proud of doing and I enjoy it a lot and we have a good team here at the Grand R his partner in crime is mathy Paul nickname chav he’s 19 and been arrested more times than he can remember
Job definitely saved me it was felt like yes this is this is [ __ ] brilliant look I’m actually doing this for myself they’re great Lads they do you know they work hard they they’re really Keen to learn and Martin’s brought them on fantastically my biggest worry probably
Is that unless things get a lot better I wouldn’t be able to keep them on anyway Nigel can only afford to stay open another 6 months because he’s already invested 2 million quid despite knowing nothing about private members clubs nidel spent a fortune turn of The Granary into a Swanky dining venue
[ __ ] we aiming for sort of Monty or Soho what is that on there leather leather walls yeah bloody hell you’re aiming for mon the private club the sort of feel yeah Rich and Sumptuous and yeah God this is the uh Coach House dining and function
Room I have to say I know I’ve only been here three or four minutes it’s [ __ ] stiff no do you think it’s too stiff it feels stuffy Nigel’s got a thin skin and doesn’t take criticism well we’re proud of what we’ve done here uh we get nothing but compliments about the
Interior of the building the decor and everything else he just comeing and rubbish the whole place not thing he likes Nigel’s joining me for lunch to discuss his so-called British menu it’s packed with 60 dishes from around the world um did you get involved with the
Food at all yeah I discuss it obviously with Martin mhm incredibly Nigel’s fiercely proud of this silly menu so I’m going to be brutally honest with him I’m going to have the shark steak to with tomato salsa and mozzarella okay must be a bit of a hamsha thing going on there
Shark steak my starter appears to be from Africa and this is Moroccan chicken yeah um wrapped in fer past what’s modern British on that what is more on that nothing it’s very spicy it it’s morocc you see me upset what’s the matter you see up tight I’m just waiting for you to
Slate the meal like you slated everything else since you come in the place oh dear this is Nigel’s idea of a modern British classic cheesy shark what was the chef smoking when he came up with that one have you tried it well that that’s [ __ ] Gastly there a surprise
Huh no don’t get all defensive I don’t like it huh how’s your lamb beautiful honestly really do you think the food is good yeah of course I do you you’re playing with me aren’t you no I think you’re taking a pest SC that’s what’s happening sorry shark and
Mozzarella sorry let me go through your menu and see what you put together it’s easier to take the piss out of other people’s stuff we’re going through my menu now the shark’s half a cmet thick yeah it’s cooked and then gratinated so it’s cooked twice it arrived a plate
Full of water so the fish was overcook before he even got anywhere near my mouth so why are you trying to be smart if I said to you it tasted [ __ ] accept it not a great start I want to try Nigel’s favorite fillet of beef she cooked by
Peter see you know what great experience just 18 years old to be cooking from of the best chefs in the in the world problem maybe we should ask Nigel what I’m going to think about it before we go I know what you’re going to think about it before you even try
It how did you find a steak um it looked like someone was sick on my plate there you go that’s fine and apart from that the steak was cooked nicely well at least I could say this you know it can only get better from here can it uh Christ yeah
Definitely Nigel’s kidding himself the food is great and clearly doesn’t want my advice I just hope the head chef isn’t as pompous as his boss how are you good to see it and this is Paul Paul nice to see you hello Peter Peter hello I had lunch with Nigel yeah sadly very
Disappointing in which way I just found it oldfashioned very boring and when you say modern British yeah where was the beef from where’s the beef from it’s uh that is not British the state was cooked nicely yeah pink it didn’t need all the gunk around there okay was the shark was
Okay for that was watery and overcook you thought it was overcook where where’s it actually be uh it’s South Indian Ocean I believe and you buy guys you want to listen or listening show some respect are you just going to stand there push your pants I’m trying to have
A chat but it’s sorry sorry Speak show some [ __ ] respect all right sorry can’t stand up or what I’m trying to get through is modern British it’s hard to identify anything substantially modern British so I’m here to help okay this man hasn’t understood that yet right I didn’t enjoy my lunch it doesn’t
Need to be that fancy it’s probably over the up yeah and it is on the verge of being pretentious too much style and insufficient flavor The Granary is an amazing location but everything about it is [ __ ] wrong the teenage asbos they’re so full of themselves it’s [ __ ] embarrassing The deco’s Flash and
Pretentious and the food well they can’t be any more further away from Modern British no wonder the [ __ ] locals aren’t coming coming entrepreneur turned restaurant Nigel neu’s massive restaurant is in deep financial trouble his head chef Martin runs an apprentice scheme for out of control teenage terway The Granary
Has a capacity for 200 but on a busy night they’re serving an average of 40 people it’s unsustainable to survive we’ve got to fill this place now before I do anything I need to see if they can cope when it’s busy so tonight I’ve got 90 locals
Coming in for dinner and I want to see how they all handle pressure done 60 last night was it 60 61 just me and Pete over here and the place is capable of doing what 200 yeah I think we can do that quite easy um let
See where the garden as well there no reason why we could do more how many hours a week you want um this week is probably about 60 to 65 good healthy it the harder you work the more [ __ ] trouble start up surely yeah so so good
Really I need to know how head chef C preparation officer Martin and his Lads cope with lots of diners two Moroccan chicken soup one Palm hotter Martin’s fiddly foreign dishes take ages to get out of the kitchen what’s the sauce prawn to swe S we’re only 30 minutes into the service and
Some of the food has been sent back cold all right P we’re going to do this again Serv please the restaurant is filling up but Martin is struggling to keep up with the orders on need one briette starter table 14 they haven’t had their starters table
14 Bri and coret we’ve been here since five still waiting for we’re still not wor yeah exactly we know what’s going on Serv have got off to a really bad start um customers are complaining there’s one table there that be waiting 2 hours food’s been served twice and um they are
Really seriously pissed off Nigel can’t afford a restaurant manager and runs the front of house himself his lack of experience is causing chaos boys have you got 22 on there wonder if there’s any chance we might get our started yeah sorry we’re having a meltdown in there
It’s not convin it’s not it’s a m they’ve crossed it out it’s a m this this has got to be the worst day of my entire life to be honest what did you do to help the gentlemen we’ve taken this me B uhhuh been there 3 hours I what is
The time now I don’t know I qu to8 yeah got it at 5:00 right joking it Martin said he could cope with 200 but I’ve proved he can’t even cope with half of that tonight it’s never happened before I’m not happy about it we’ve been stitched
Up not this I’m not doing anymore man who’s stitching who here you can pull it back together can you I really can’t be B I don’t like this and I don’t want to do it mate I didn’t want to do it in the first place
I’m out of it on let’s get this done let’s get this done we got a lot of people in there mate I’m not doing it mate this is bollocks what’s going on neither Martin nor Nigel accept responsibility for the mess and want a scapegoat unsurprisingly Nigel sees an opportunity to get his own
Back we’ve been stitched up tonight I know we’ve been stitched up oh come on that’s we’ve never had a [ __ ] night like this Gordon I swear to God have we had a night like this why you shouting why you shouting why have you done this
To us why have I what why did you do this to us tonight we’ve never had a night like this never since we’ve been open that’ be so ridiculous will you [ __ ] food [ __ ] red mullet Frozen from Thailand the fact that we’re not performing the service is all over the
Place the customers are [ __ ] complaining 90 people without giv us any notice they’re still 50 haven’t even [ __ ] served so what are you blaming me for this feel that 50 haven’t been served we’s on the service don’t count and come back we didn’t get a chance
You’re a weak man cuz you pick [ __ ] off Gord don’t call me a weak man you’re think you are why don’t you open your eyes get your head out of your ass and try to look at your business objectively they clearly can’t cook the existing menu they’re struggling there’s
Nearly 60 customers still on the board they’ve barely cooked 253 main courses and all of a sudden I’m to blame because they’re busy and they’re not handling it thankfully Martin sees sense and he’s back in the kitchen you can get this back together yeah we do it they may
Have come at [ __ ] the same time but Jesus Christ come on I know we’re there just had a funny five minutes so I felt I was letting myself down letting the team down and then if I was to walk out I’d be letting them down even more
And myself and I wouldn’t liveing myself done that so not a sort of night I’d like to repeat I’ll be honest with it’s really quite devastating to have to go around to every single customer in the place and apologize I don’t know I know
What he’s I know what he’s doing and I I realized the the reason for why he did it tonight you know you needed to see what would happen if we pushed past breaking point I think but let’s just confirm something shall we everybody yeah yeah you’re
[ __ ] yeah one thing we should never do is [ __ ] give up no matter how [ __ ] hard it gets out there we never give up cuz we give up the customer suffers and let’s be honest this business is in trouble and if this doesn’t work they’re all out of a [ __ ] job
That’s a big responsibility you know that I do yeah yeah huge and we’ll get it right okay okay The Granary doesn’t attract enough locals to survive before I can work out a solution I need to know why um have you been to The Granary I have and can
You tell me a little bit about it uh it’s a nice setting rubbish service yeah there used to be a club for private members only but that didn’t really last that long so it has a bad reputation locally well nobody ever goes there so I think if it was every good all the
People in the village would go there the things that I heard about it just sounded a bit out of my league to be honest bit too expensive I’m afraid private before wasn’t it mhm yeah a little bit offing yeah it’s nice to go into a restaurant and try different bits
And pieces but I think they sort of went a bit over the mark like with the shark and and things like that you know people do want to try different things but I don’t think that works really it’s clear Nigel’s silly pretentions of grandeur have alienated the locals exclusive
Clubs won’t work around here when youve a reputation this bad the only thing to do is create a delicious traditional menu the locals can’t resist Hampshire is a wash with independent Farmers producing fantastic British Staples so I’m going to use that fantastic produce to help turn the
Graner around now I got to come up with a menu that Martin can cope with that will seriously appeal to the locals is as simple as that this morning I’m taking the ads to a local vegetable farm to get them passionate about using fresh ingredients
This is vital if I’m ever going to turn them into chefs beetroot yeah okay so perfect size we looking for is just above yeah a golf ball beautiful nice this lot have only ever seen their veg wrapped in clim film come on Paul put some well in there
Pet have you got anything yet no no a instead of nicking cars or nicking carrots these reprobates are going to learn how to cook with the very stuff they’re pulling out of the ground Mar excited superb yeah amazing completely different take uh on vegetables yeah I was also a bit of a
Teenage tear away and crashed a car whilst uninsured cooking was my salvation then so I want to encourage these Lads in their careers I’ve got something in common with you guys you I started off in a very similar position to both of you and you can stay
Focused and like I said My worry is you stepping off that line and [ __ ] it up at the time when you got into trouble what did you turn to I suppose cooking I never wanted to be the footballer and I little kids like my mom and dad have
Always got me enthusiastic about food and trying new things and that you both work the potential is phenomenal don’t have to be chippy and you’ve got to stay excited and Martin keeps you guys in straight now yeah it makes us know that we can make something about ourselves
Martin and his boys didn’t cope with 90 last night I’m going to show them tonight how they can easily serve that number It’s a Great British classic seconds roast pork each table gets its own joint along with a freshly picked veg this could really pull in the locals
And ease the pressure in the kitchen with the large tables in for dinner tonight I want to try something different loin of pork shoulder of pork belly of pork gratt and do from ws and we just cook for the table where’s the pork from it’s British [ __ ] down the road yeah that’s right Romy there’s night in again tonight but service should be easier as everyone is helping themselves and I’m letting the lads loose on the public my big Toy ler old spot luster old spot pork red in Hampshire red in Hampshire you just went silent there in here yeah a mouth bigger than [ __ ] is of white out there yeah you just go silent yeah you weren’t nervous out there were you oh no I was uh [ __ ]
Myself would be the correct TS there’s 1,700 quid in the till and even touchy Nigel has to admit I’ve got it right Gordon’s taken some of the heat off with his specials U which is accounted for quite a lot of the big tables one good night won’t save The Granary only large
Numbers can do that I swear to God we’ve got a [ __ ] mountain to climb we are losing big time and tonight we’re 82 let’s be honest if we pushed ourselves we could have been 150 tonight yeah but there is a [ __ ] amazing bond in here yeah and I was very fortunate enough to
Work under Marco’s wing for 3 years and I went in there at 19 and I got my [ __ ] ass kicked and I went in there at the time because things were going slightly peir shaped at home so I lost myself yeah if we’re going to do this then [ __ ] concentrate everyone’s got problems
Trouble pass [ __ ] [ __ ] to deal with but if you can let your work shine the [ __ ] takes care of itself the Gran’s menu is changing but Nigel’s inexperience means front of house service is dismal today I’ve brought in some birds for the lads I use their amazing eggs myself yeah
Underneath yeah underneath his breast that’s it nice old cotsworld leg bars they are are phenomenal okay look after them you’ll be surprised on the amount of eggs produced they’re [ __ ] ugly things aren’t they they are ugly right now these hens are homeless this is a test to improve Nigel’s
Management skills he must build the hen house by delegating work to his waitresses n’s going to give the instructions read them out that together we can release the chickens put them inside yes I know entrepreneurs like Nigel are strong individuals but to be a successful friend of house manager you
Must be a team player that’s definitely out the other way whatever happens like that that’s it um they’re roof panels what are those sides these are roof panels Yep they’re all waiting for instructions yet you’re only talking to yourself I’m reading yeah to them no I’ve got to understand
It first we’re going to tell them before I understand it with his prickly attitude it’s clear Nigel’s no team player see going [ __ ] flat pack anything it doesn’t [ __ ] fit does it this is a worry the head of tonight’s service just over 100 books so if that’s
How confident is at delegating a chicken pen being put together what the [ __ ] is he going to be like running the dining room I think Nigel’s arrogance means he can’t take any constructive criticism Nigel’s management remains a big headache but tonight’s service is looming and I have to teach the lads a
Couple of British Classics starting with mushrooms on toast so we’re searing the mushrooms now what are those chickens producing out there what have we got beautiful eggs yeah so on top of the mushrooms we’re going to have the most amazing poached egg yeah how long does
It take to softly poach an egg for 3 minutes yeah three three and a half minutes just finish a little bit of mustard yeah and go I think I’ve spotted great potential in Pete I’m trusting him to cook the locally sourced car’s liver and just turn it over good really important to
Cook it quickly yeah good nice liver on yeah bacon little sprig of Water Crest yeah liver and bacon what we’ve done is three or four dishes that are tasting naturally really [ __ ] focused on that tonight yeah it’s a big ask and a massive responsibility on your shoulders
Yeah and when the [ __ ] [ __ ] hits the fan I’m here but don’t [ __ ] lose it okay I won lose it okay this is a crucial test of my strategy to save The Granary tonight we’ve got 100 booked including a party of 48 air traffic controllers from the local Airport
These professionals know how to avert disaster I only hope I can do the same the kitchen’s ready but Nigel and these waitresses can’t afford to screw up in the restaurant I think the communication has got to be a lot better tonight the large party out there is 48 don’t bring
Them all in together make it work we need the tickets quickly okay okay big test let’s go good luck Nel what’s the matter don’t know nothing I’m aware of honestly no but you’re flapping around looking like you’re [ __ ] I was just getting the girls organized into their teams
Okay you’ve got young staff there and they’re not controlled who’s controlling them me good do it right let’s go okay so far very very smooth very nice very relaxed Nigel are the last ton down the 50 I think check okay good it’ be nice to get some of the orders in there yeah
Yeah so get swamped at once yes all right right F you got the four mushrooms on yeah lovely the starters for the air traffic controllers are ready service please going unfortunately the waiters have taken some food to the wrong table and Nigel doesn’t spot it two of us have
Got a have got a starter and nobody else is yet going to start us so um where’s the most of the food coming from do we eat it now or do we not other customers are sending their starters back touch that it’s still [ __ ] cold Nigel’s job
Is simply to make sure the waitresses do what they’re told I’m now doing table 21 okay all you want to take for this as precise is four mushrooms okay that’s the 21 Martin says explicitly the mushroom dish is for table 21 but the waitress serves it to
The wrong table right under Nigel’s nose Anna 21 he said Nigel knows a terrible mistake has been made this is not what Chef tells you he take it to the table he told you yeah but because he’s inexperienced Nigel doesn’t make the wait to take the dish
To the correct table making a fraud situation even worse Services cooking or service something is wrong this is abely apping front of house is really screwing us over yeah been screwed in that room it’s been screwed in that room come on you got to talk to mey okay okay I’m going on
14 you’ve got a team here waiting for orders come on Mark yeah four corks go thank you don’t go flat on me right C straight away sh everyone huh no sure five trout straight away five Trout from over there go Martin has stepped up to the challenge but someone else
Hasn’t okay yeah I need breathing exercises though just settle down just relax yeah want to sit down for a minute yeah can I’m I’m not going back in until I’ve had a cigarette honestly too stressed me it’s a disaster Nigel’s panicked and lost control at least the new dishes
Have gone down well it’s very nice it’s taken forever to arrive it’s completely completely all over the place but it’s great food now it’s come in my eyes the buck stops with the boss there’s no way I’m going to let Nigel get away with it he must accept responsibility that was
Unbelievable it was [ __ ] embarrassing what went wrong let me ask you first you own the place truthfully now I don’t [ __ ] know it’s the honest answer to what happened you don’t know it was a listen two people went to the wrong tables now I know for a fact that Anna
Regardless of what table she was told when and put it where she [ __ ] liked I don’t know why she did that but she did it that’s all I know yeah that’s all you know I don’t think you’re capable of rning a [ __ ] bath let alone a restaurant yeah you’re employing cheap
Labor no [ __ ] training and you’re expecting to get up to speed when was the last you when was the last time you trained the waitress no I’m got to go and look after my customers this is nonsense right I’ve told him what happened I’ve told him what [ __ ]
Happened talk to me why cuz you don’t listen I’m in denial I do this all the time this hour around my [ __ ] restaurant it’s not true that’s why you’re in the [ __ ] you [ __ ] fat idiot don’t call me fat you are a [ __ ] do you know that you stupid idiot [ __ ] silly
Looking this is how you run your business is it you’re [ __ ] knob ah you’re walk away now go and talk to my customers go and talk to the [ __ ] regular out there see if they’ve ever seen a service like what are they going to say to me go and ask a regular you
Are the best host in [ __ ] Hampshire probably some of them are you that [ __ ] blind I’m not saying that there isn’t massive improvements that car be made here but if you think that this is the way I run it and I can’t run this you’re
Wrong so [ __ ] it I’ve done my B I don’t need to talk about this anymore unfuckingbelievable Last night Nigel’s lamentable leadership caused a midair Collision for a party of air traffic controllers but he denied responsibility Nel’s arrogance could close The Granary for Good Will He listen to me Gordon may have found me arrogant but that in truth that would only be a reaction to the way he was
Treating me you know when you’ve invested four years of your life a huge amount of money into creating something it’s very personal I won’t be spoken to in that way even if it is Gordon Ramsey the most important thing thing is to get this right and sometimes when you
Um get defensive on the back of criticism it’s almost if you can’t you can’t take it all I want to see is some form of maturity in dealing with it and I’m not expecting you to like what I say but let’s agree to disagree for now draw
A line and move on right have you thought about getting a restaurant manager full time cuz I I think you need help we have issues with servers that needs to be controlled I I take your point I mean you know I’m not a professional restaurant manager you know
At the moment I’m doing the best I can all I want to do is make the place as good as it can be uh-huh okay I need a trick to lure the locals back in who’ve been put off by the Gran’s exclusive reputation a fun event for parents and kids could get them
Back we need to find a way to get them out of the house with their kids and come and visit The Granary have you seen what’s produced locally here no from the best tomatoes to the best best garlic to the best mushrooms why can’t we have a food fair
Day a way of announcing that you’re here I think it’s fantastic idea y let’s go time’s not our friend right now yeah I’ll get right on it yeah within 12 hours the food fair is underway instead of shark Stakes we’ve got great Hampshire Produce the fair is designed to secure future bookings for the new look GR the only exclusive thing here is a petting zoo for the kids tell what cheese on toast really I want to try that I am sure it’s mild I’ll just give you a little bit right nice
Happy yeah I’m absolutely over the there this is this is you caught me pinching all the chili dips they’re amazing TR regular fun food events like this will get families filling up the gigantic Granary and help to establish a more friendly reputation for the restaurant absolutely
Amazing I really want to fire up these young chefs with a challenge they must create a salad using Hampshire root vegetables the winner will go on my new menu color for the plate uhhuh okay good so eggs look at the color those jokes lovely yeah beautiful going okay Paul’s

Like the penny has dropped he has got up to speed with understanding the importance of his locals get them on your side their customers without them you’re [ __ ] I’m sorry it’s my last day tonight we relaunched The familyfriendly Granary I’m going to finally nail Nigel’s silly pretensions of grandeur just think
People used to pay two grand a year to come here now yeah they don’t have to pay anything there you go wow is that my new logo the big fat chicken no I didn’t say fat chicken that’s a [ __ ] and that’s you’ve been all [ __ ] week I’m unconvinced that the kitchen
Problems are completely fixed but the menu must change for tonight’s launch I remodel it with down toe British recipes like this new broad bean and ham HCK starter fresh parsley and some fresh ches yeah and then just lift it up there so and look it looks like something again straight out the
Garden the hat at M is pan fried then to with a caper sauce all designed to make life in the kitchen much easier basically just a nut brown butter and look on over the again I’m just trying to keep it as simple as possible yeah if these guys [ __ ] up tonight yeah it’s
Your fault I’m here with you and I’m here with them but they got to use their own common sense as well you know that Pete’s come a long way but I have my doubts about his boss Martin has he got his priorities right it’s difficult sometimes cuz yeah sometimes you know
Obviously you’re trying to be a head chef at all times but at the same time you you’re trying to be a five figure stroke preparation officer to him and when you’re trying to do both sometimes it’s difficult I’m also worried about Nigel so I’m going to make sure he gets
Some help with the service who is going to volunteer to work alongside Nigel and Lead all three dining rooms someone that’s over everything yeah I’ll do it good happy with that [ __ ] yeah yeah Top Choice so okay what’s funny pink nothing go share the J go it’s just you may be

Right for eating with the whole family with the salads a storm in success lovely food and the kids have all enjoyed yourself you enjoyed it but in the kitchen Martin’s more like a ly lied preparation officer than an assertive head chef come yeah lovely if I shout all the time and
Scream people don’t listen to me so screaming sh look like an idiot I’m just trying to just running it like we’re on blackp beach thring along with a [ __ ] Cornetto oh dear looks like Martin’s already given up because he seems to have sunken and he’s not inspiring any
Of the cooks and it’s a great shame because in 15 minutes time the guy’s going to be up to his neck and [ __ ] and he’ll start complaining and wind you yeah we can’t we can’t s that’re going [ __ ] they’re going to throw it back no chance cany STS table 11 they’ve been
Waiting a very long time kitchen’s got uh they got themselves in a bit of a pickle there yeah they are backed up there yeah so I’m sorry the rest of coming out just a couple of minutes Martin isn’t directing these chefs I’ve got to step in help him put him on the
Plate as well you got talk want to tell You’ g flat as a pancake M I really mean it customers are backing up we’re in this [ __ ] and there’s too many hot starters going [ __ ] oh come on don’t don’t give me that L there’s a fish cake

Let me just tell you thing to your face I know you think it’s cocky and smart and [ __ ] hard I’m talking to Martin and you shout over me and you’re saying well all you here shouting you got a lot to learn this is what happens when a kid is not
Committed chef tells me they too hot staring too much one fish C to reheat mushrooms on toast and the chippy little in the corner shouting his mouth off yeah you think someone would show a little bit more bold than that wouldn’t you just calm down easy be working you work yes Martin has
Lost his grip over the kitchen but I was right to put my trust in Pete who shown he can deal with pressure Martin well done lamb lamb got 84 here yes 84 right it’s stone cold that’s the third dish I’ve sent back out of three my egg was completely rock hard my Yorkshire
Pudding was black it’s a shame I was getting excited about tonight this is heartbreaking Martin couldn’t cope with the numbers and he didn’t handle his kitchen tearaways well Either um speak yeah I going to I still think he could have Rod to the Mark I still could come out the Trap bang I’m I’m seriously disappointed I was disappointed I turned around and said you know you went quiet you didn’t delegate you didn’t drive it you didn’t
Force it let me sunk from a chef to Chef’s Point of View let’s have a little bit more balls together yeah I I’m [ __ ] got it didn’t work I will take full responsibility for it it didn’t work for me tonight I wasn’t you know no disect anyone it just didn’t work for me
It’s this the menu there was too too much to you want to go back to the old [ __ ] no I don’t okay that’s I’m really pleased with what you’ve brought in I’m really pleased with it g we’re going to get this right and uh you know we’ll
Make it work we will make it work when you get back here you’re going to see us firing on all morning we’re going to have sit down meeting we’re going to discuss the menu we’re going to get this place rolling swear to God if it bloody kills
Me it’s such a [ __ ] shame and so frustrating I honestly thought that both Nigel and Martin were going to turn that business around but on the back of that performance no chance but I hope for the sake of everybody employed by The Granary that I’m wrong but I’m not
Holding my [ __ ] breath cuz that was Embarrassing it’s been 6 weeks now since I was last at The Granary and when I left them they had the perfect locally sourced real rustic British menu but the problem was that Martin couldn’t actually cope with the large numbers it was going to take to make The Granary
Work financially so I hope the hell that guy’s got his act together right what in the [ __ ] am I going to be blamed for now here we go has Nigel gone back to his old arrogant ways can I come in you can excellent how are you very good thanks yeah good to

Focused than he was I know at his moments but yeah he’s really nothing everything’s relaxed but I haven’t forgotten the disastrous last service I’ll see tonight if they’ve improved but what about the food okay right and I’m hungry have got a spare little table for the usual table sir yeah let’s go the
Usual table yeah let’s go back now it’d be nice to actually sit and have lunch and not be blamed for anything this time yeah look at that local lamb I’m nervous about my lunch these guys are really busy today but the menu’s promising all fits in now doesn’t it
Great news H music to my ears yeah can I just say you’re a one stubborn [ __ ] kill de it takes a while to completely change your thinking doesn’t it but yeah lovely that looks nice I’ve ordered a new dish local mullet broth that’s lovely that it’s like a little
Minon um listen this is delicious excent thisen yeah this is a million miles better I’m telling you lovely and without Martin you know it’s all down to you now you know it’s all on your shoulders you know I’m happy with it I’ve uh I’ve still got a great team here
And the million dollar question even in front of 25 ladies having lunch would you accept that you were wrong yes can I say it quiet L you can say it as loud or as quiet as you wish I was wrong you were wrong wow look at that the food’s changed and Nigel’s attitude
Has changed so yeah it’s great news all around he’s a little bit more humble now and it looks like he’s got rid of all those little dreams on the private bar and all that crap it’s back to Humble cooking in a humble building and the red mullet whose idea was that that’s my
That’s my idea but Pete cooked your red mullet for your lunch hope you liked it it was delicious there was one problem with it and don’t take this personally yeah the portion was too small I want do more I wanted more happy really happy cuz he’s happy for a change
The real test is to come can Martin and the team deal with a busy night I’m asking customers to write comic cards to see if The Granary has restored its battered reputation local um would you be so kind if F out a customer comment card would
You be kind to fill out a customer comment card and just tell us exactly what you think service please and more importantly for me and the restaurant please be honest and your criticisms are crucial table five deler in a well done land please and then just give us a line

And everything I have ever earned my whole life is in this honestly if I was Al I’d come here and [ __ ] fire all of us Allan’s lazy crazy chefs are taking advantage of him C in the egg [ __ ] a [ __ ] day the restaurant is sinking but
Alan’s too soft to save it now we’re in toppy Waters Alan’s in denial about the whole mess there’s no reason with you is there at times like this I think you deserve to sink he ain’t God he’s Gordon Ramsey a successful businessman screw Him I’ve arrived early to surprise a fancy Oyster Bar in Brighton’s Bohemian cemp Town District my challenge is called Ruby Tates it’s in a camp alternative area where most people read the guardian they like eating out but they do so with a conscience but they’re taking it a bit
Too far with their pretty boy Eco taxes rumor has it that I am a bit of a gay icon yeah featured in the top 10 last year and uh yeah bit of a worry every year we’re going up this is the perfect area to set up a restaurant it’s
Got a really nice social Buzz about it they’re not short of money round here this is almost like sort of Soho on the sea oh dear there can’t exactly jump the lights of this [ __ ] wi can you former star of stage and Screen Anan love opened upm Market Seafood
Restaurant Ruby takes a year ago he thought we’d spotted a gap in the market for fancy dining it’s a different atmosphere totally different atmosphere than an all restaurant people don’t just come to eat they come for the dining experience Allan serves up expensive Seafood to Kemp Town trouble is no one
Wants it and he’s losing a grand and a half a week I think fish is the way forward the oysters the fish it’s something that’s going to be bigger in in the in the very near future not the distant future undeterred by his huge losses Alan thinks he’s got it right and
Spends his time dreaming of his great starring roles lot of West End shows cats God spell this is my stage now you know this is where this is where I get up and perform one door open you know I call it the Allan love show but it’s
Kind of isn’t the Allan love show it’s it’s it’s just me yeah if people are laughing I don’t care whether they laugh with me or at me long as they laugh while Allan dreams of his past he ignores the kitchen leaving It All To His Two Chefs first there’s laid-back Aussie traveler Jamie
There’s no sort of passion there there’s no [ __ ] motivation to [ __ ] come to work you know I’ll be honest with you I’m just doing it for the [ __ ] for the Moa man but there’s also volatile fiery Frenchman Alex who can’t control his temper thank you you go out you go
Out please please you go out you are please you go out thank you very much you don’t come back in kitchen I don’t care what people think of me you know the only people I care like my [ __ ] parents and my girlfriends right everything’s great apart from the [ __ ]
Preach but everything isn’t great Alan’s about to go bust and he’s in denial about it the genius of the people in the world that are geniuses they surround themselves with genius that’s their genius Angelo Weber is one example I’m the nice guy he’s a and what I try and
Do in the kitchen is have the best I can afford to have honestly if I was Al I’d come here and [ __ ] fire all of us but he doesn’t man he he’s paying us to [ __ ] he knows we sit on our ass they’re not expecting me at Ruby Tes till this
Evening righty I really want to catch this restaurant napping I’m going to jump in there now and join a table for lunch and see what they serve normal customers without them knowing that I’m coming for the first time I’ve secretly asked a couple of Foodies to go
Undercover and order for me I don’t want the chefs making a special effort on my behalf I want to eat what gets served every day it’s not five star it’s not even three star but at the end it’s not [ __ ] 25 quit how are you see but called the
Early train the early train okay how are you well to R man yeah you [ __ ] got us my dining companions have ordered a plateau of Freedom Air usually serve cold that’s the strangest plat I’ve ever seen in my entire life where’s the ice it’s actually hot man it’s warm yeah
That’s the first you think for 55 could take the [ __ ] sack out the lobster wouldn’t you nothing worse than a gritty Lobster do how was your um how’s your oyster interesting I don’t F see those though this expensive Seafood just goes stale as no one’s buying it smells yeah
It looks like someone’s put a dog stick in the [ __ ] oy is Jesus Christ what happened to him holy [ __ ] is that normal like that yes I mean that’s just like a little rubber elastic band it’s like eating the inside of a golf ball and what he say he
Doesn’t like he says that’s like a golf ball and that I think he said it was bit B yeah can you put that in bin please serving old poorly cooked seafood is dangerous whoever’s the head chef shouldn’t allow it are seriously man can get that [ __ ] camera out of my face dude
Seriously just for 30 seconds here you can tell now everything is [ __ ] but we don’t need G lemon and sauce but you’re the menu is far too expensive for the area and as for the artwork you the or somebody sick on the walls no the artwork is by a
Local artist there’s a pair of knickers on the wall there on that yeah but is that legit that is a pair of encrusted nickers it is it’s um and it’s part of the artwork as well yeah why not next up seab bass served on a bed of shizo
That’s definitely farm farm sea bass from Greece and 100 met from the beach almost like the chef’s given up bored and fallen out of love with fish really if it’s not available locally caught then take it off the menu yeah satisfy meal disgusting total cost 175
Quid good to see you good to see you how’s your meal yeah interesting and different is he is he pleas it’s obvious while people aren’t coming bad food at ripoff prices with turnover being so dire how long can it continue to stay open can you get through the summer no I
Mean I just borrowed another 30 grand but that’s the end of it I’ve got no more so if that goes it’s Over don’t get upset hey it’s good to meet you don’t get upset hey yeah get some fresh air I can see it in your face I can see how [ __ ] painful it is well it’s just you get the end the end of the boat and and when there’s no more I didn’t
Realize things with that fragile I’m sorry yes no it’s not fragile it’s just you know sometimes you just something hits the nerve and and and unfortunately this hits the nerve because because you know I try not to look at it and I try not to think about it but it’s still
Trying to find the money to pay the L you that [ __ ] and I’m very proud of what I’ve done and it’s probably not right maybe I’m full of crap but it’s but it’s just what I put my whole life into and everything I have ever earned my whole
Life is in this place destroy Allen’s right on the edge I’m going to confront the head chef who’s responsible for this mess gentlemen Mr R would like to say hello this is Jamie Jamie how every buddy you are you from where Australia austral Isaac how everybody Alex nice to meet you
Alex from France from France wait and chef chef not head chef just a chef chef chef so you must be the head chef Chef no no I’m same as Jamie we walk together the team always together you have no Chef in his kitchen right so who takes

You here then just to get a bit of money and travel on I’m moving on I’m not here to be a hero I’m not asking you to be a hero I’m just asking you to find some form of passion let me talk to you about lunch the plat of Freedom a was [ __ ]
Hideous how the [ __ ] can I sit in the restaurant Beach 100 meters in front of me and eat a farm sea bass from Greece that should be in a [ __ ] Chinese restaurant in the middle of Soho yeah cuz it’s not to get fish in Brighton what
Yeah I know he’s wrong I know he’s wrong like close to the Sea it’s supposed to have like 20 fishermen on the the [ __ ] sea FR there’s no fresh fish in [ __ ] Brighton where what shop where we can buy them what shop like fish she player what about the fish market Alex

Interested enough by what I do every day so why don’t you [ __ ] off back to France just about all the customers gr say it’s great what can I tell you you know in their defense you know not my defense but I can’t believe my ears Allan denies there’s anything wrong with the food
This guy’s lost touch with the reality how long can you both continue taking the piss out of him that guy bursts into tears in the bar I don’t know if you realize how fragile he is right now he looks like a guy’s about to [ __ ] off on
Bright and pier and jump off the end sentimental old actor Adan L’s po seafood restaurant is about to fold and he’s harboring a dark secret one would think that if you open a seafood restaurant you’d actually like to eat seafood I have a bit of an
Aversion of fish here just because I had a bone in my throats and 3 days and I couldn’t and I had a real problem with it and and if I get a bone I get physically sick how old you when you got the bone stuck in your
Throat probably about five five how old you now 60 60 it’s been a while it’s absurd how can Alan judge his menu if he doesn’t even eat it but what else is wrong I want to know what the locals think you look cool trendy de the word
Ruby Tates what does it mean Ruby Tates sort of Curry thing I suppose Ruby Tates what does it mean something to do with potatoes why have you been in The Deco pretentious with no substance perhaps what do you think the decor bit but yeah it just looks a bit wanky
What do you look for in a seafood restaurant here um fish and Chips Alan’s Pony Restaurant offers very expensive badly cooked seafood stupid decor meanless name and what the people of Brighton want is good locally caught fish cooked simply Farm sea bass and a hot plat of Freedom Air will not get the punters back into Ruby takes that’s for
Sure the slacker chefs are paid well to cook dross I need to investigate what they’re doing wrong expensive Lobster will only attract Niche customers and they won’t come back if it’s badly cooked uh madam what did you have I had the post Lobster post which is Tech is
It tough yes it’s tough yeah it’s laborless you I’m going to get to the bottom of why this Lobster tastes so tough Jesus how come they’re all cooked uh you don’t cook these to order uh no they cooked them before they just blunch in water for like 4 minutes that’s really they
Look like they’ve been cooked for a lot longer than 4 minutes there’s so much money here but why are they all cooked and separated from their bodies because for when they use them they can pick up straight away like that Jesus look another [ __ ] set there’s £200 worth of
Lobster here pre-cooking is wasteful and ruins the taste it’s Bing when when did these arrive as this morning but they’re all open they arrive this morning I know we not serving them are you but they’re dead they’re all open some n inside what Alex come on

There’s the boys I they gone outside for a cigarette all right but I want you to understand something really important you may not like what I’m going to say mhm but whatever it is I’m here to help and you must never ever forget that but what I’m more concerned

To sell it yeah course I is it the pressure from the bank to sell it or is it just cash flow for the restaurant H it’s just cash flow for the resturant I’ve just bought as much as I can to get some mortgage mortgage is 430 Grand and you know the
Last six months up borrowed 40,000 and put into the restaurant [ __ ] there’s a lot riding on this huh working out together you know that there’s just some real tough decisions that need to be [ __ ] made instantly you know that yeah and I can see it’s

I’ve had Pollock and I enjoy it I shall have it again how are yours dear can’t believe you said that to me about my bollocks I thought you were great in the Queen by the way I beg your that’s how you speak to your people no you feel like reborn I
Don’t know like you feel you do something you just FR of your s that’s it just to do something different you know like care this Tuesday’s Takin are phenomenal Allan’s made 2 Grand when he’d normally take 200 quid so if we can do two grand on a [ __ ] Tuesday with
80% of our clients are having fish and chips and a glass of [ __ ] wine I’m Sorry by the time we get to [ __ ] Saturday we should be sort of you know 8 n 10 grand but from where we’ve gone from where we are is yeah we’ve won nothing and tomorrow morning your house
Is still up for sale yeah Allan’s at last proved he’s got some guts but will he risk revamping the Psychedelic Decor of Ruby Tates which the locals hate well I hope they hadn’t been worn that’s all I can say been sick I’m running out of time the menu is
Changing and so must the decor it’s time for the knickers to come off I can’t let him just d it I can’t do that and I won’t do that you know I’ve got you know I’ve got to stand up be a man he start he SS around and says all
The paints got to come with the wall change the color tablecloth I hate the glasses well sorry mate that’s my that’s my opinion you know what and my opinion is really relevant cuz it’s all my money let’s have a quick um walk around the restaurant together and give me um give
Me the inspiration behind this ghastly Decor I don’t agree with you explain the colors then is there any method in your Madness the colors came from the original painting that I got which I liked over there so you bought the painting and then design the resturant
On the back of it yeah it’s like something that Jimmy sa would keep his [ __ ] jewelry well if that’s what you think that’s okay I don’t I disagree with you do you want fish on the wall you know I’d rather have a [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] fish on the wall than a
[ __ ] crusty pair of [ __ ] knickers no see that see that insults me as well well because there’s a pair of nickers no use a pair of knickers don’t use a crusty pair of knickers it’s so out of order because it’s so detrimental to the artist and also to me right so you
Taking it personally no that’s it now that’s it now yeah no no you’re just cross the line out of cross the line again I tell you I don’t like the dec the restaurant you start getting upset go for it go for it man not happening I’m not going any
Further it it’s [ __ ] why do you feel the necessity to insult is that where’s where’s the script there’s the script the scpt is this a big defensive thing that you Gott why don’t you read your own script I’m not taking your [ __ ] not taking your [ __ ] I’m not taking your
[ __ ] hold on what you mean I’m talking I don’t care it’s your opinion ain’t my [ __ ] opinion you boss it ain’t my opinion you don’t like it tough [ __ ] I like it it looks great it sounds great and why you working yourself up like this good because that’s what it’s about
I hit a that’s what it’s about [ __ ] you thank [ __ ] for that it’s finally come out right should we get back to the decor let’s not don’t call me a liar Gordon you [ __ ] don’t call me a liar man cuz you do that you’re at the [ __ ] door with
The camera and I’m telling you that don’t call me a liar cuz I don’t [ __ ] Li kick me out the [ __ ] door now you walks off should we talk about the decor will you stop acting like a baby then no you stopped you stop acting like a primadonna and then we
Then we both got half a chance there’s no reasoning with you is there there isn’t really is there at times like this I think you deserve to sink okay Gordon very good I’m sorry for insulting your pants that have been sprayed 18 times with paint they’re not crusted they’re
Just dulock coated pants I’m sorry mate I’ve had it I don’t know why we’re discussing this anymore you don’t want you don’t want to do this anymore I don’t want to do this anymore so why yeah let’s go Moon you just been Gordon Ramsey may be car do anything else you
Got no right to say that sure sure I got a right i’ got I got every right to say exactly the same as you say to me for a man that’s that far in the [ __ ] you think you’d take something on the chin acting like a baby gets him nowhere
There’s not much more anyone can do the show’s over I’m out of here Alan denies the truth in front of his face he’s going down with his nickers flying half mast do you know what he ain’t God he’s Gordon Ramsey a successful businessman do you know what it ain’t the [ __ ] be
All and end all the life screw Him up behind Alan’s throwing me out at Ruby Tates he he lost it when I suggested I change his Naf 80s Decor in the last ditch attempt at reconciliation I’m taking him to a successful rival fish restaurant to see how they do it yeah you can go back to
Ruby takes and I can be in London by 6:00 but I think you’re missing one [ __ ] key point I’m not here to get personal I a got a [ __ ] about the piece of heart I really don’t give a f piece of it wasn’t about that it was about the
Wording and crusty nickers but that’s the way I am yeah I know understand that let’s go back to what we spoke about the decco what’s the first thing you feel when you walk into H personally cold absolutely Cold Stone Cold yeah um it takes 20 grand a week yeah it makes
Money it is modern yes that’s what’s going to happen next the Ruby takes it’s got to be brought into the 21st century okay I do agree I agree I still have to have my personality yeah I’m staring at it okay that’s the biggest Decor personality you
Can’t buy that [ __ ] so that’s not deor that’s you that is fundamentally absolutely Paramount without you we’re [ __ ] have you always been this stubborn yeah on stage yeah don’t change will you I will not a no way let’s get the [ __ ] out of here thank you sir ladies
First now we’ve buried the hatchet and need to get back to saving the business Allan’s staff don’t respect him he must show them who’s boss I’ve called a staff meeting on the Rolling High Seas there’s a storm brewing and Ruby Tates needs a Lifeline now we’re in choppy Waters just like Ruby takes up and down on the verge of [ __ ] sinking Alan can deny the truth no longer his staff think he’s a walkover they’re going to review his performance right now I want all of you to give me one [ __ ] good point and
One bad point on Allan seriously think about it yeah one good point and one bad point this isn’t going to be pretty Allan’s a terrible boss first one not strict enough doesn’t come on my respect good point too nice I’m not picking on you here no I
Know you’re not picking on I’m trying to [ __ ] absolutely open your eyes up to what the [ __ ] you are doing running a business and what’s coming out of this is that you’re just one big [ __ ] soft happy go-lucky sweetie pie that they love taken from you does anyone see
You as a boss no obiously don’t who do we answer to no one no one knows who to answer there’s no sort of real leader there’s no boss and we need a boss can Allan be ruthless and Sack bad staff in this exercise he’ll have to be
Assertive and decide who stays and who walks the plank convincing time Alex and I won’t prove myself and everybody we can do it and I think is important because I’m French and I’m proud Alan uh but I do think I need to be assertive and I’m
Afraid you’re just going to have to walk the blanket Ali thank you Alex on the plank it’s just got to be the highway kid po it does she walk the plank do you know what I can let Nancy stay cuz I think Nancy’s got the heart and the experience
And she works her ass off quite possibly the most laidback chef in Britain today on the [ __ ] plank give me the [ __ ] job as head shf you need a leader in there I’m Your Leader just cuz you’re an [ __ ] get off the boat [ __ ] you any last request [ __ ]
You watch this SP is the the bottom line I can be as assertive as I need to be I’m a tough guy I’m a tough guy I have to be they call it a Napoleonic complex when you’re little people take the piss out of you it’s fighting talk from Allan
But he has to prove himself His Two Chefs have definitely spoiled the broth tonight I’m going to choose just one of them to be leader every kitchen needs a head chef for discipline Control Insight and [ __ ] pushing standards out here they got very comfortable very relaxed and
It’s not busy so why bother a head chef needs to be a natural leader and cool Under Pressure now oh come on guys F me not tonight Jamie yes Alex if someone wants the head Chef’s job here they’re going to work for it J me they’re going to

You get the my choice for head chef is a no-brainer it’s a tough night though you know tough night it’s always hard cooking cooking’s a [ __ ] hard job anyway sometimes he loses the plot but at the same time I’m not in a position to tell him off just for some reason
Today I just came out and started [ __ ] directing the [ __ ] traffic you know there’s still a big problem with the restaurant Decor I’ve got an idea okay to put a different color in here I don’t want to argue that I’m I’m going with you because I I’ve thought it over and I am
Going to let you have your head because you’ve said a lot of very successful pleas about moving forward now the decor is in my hands Allan’s relaxed a little I do like to be beside the seaside but will the staff accept my choice for their new head chef we need
To establish a leader in that kitchen Alex it’s not you I know last night’s performance confirmed that Jamie forget the travels commit to Alan do you understand that understand I’m have to do it I know I can do it I want to do it one final roll that’s

Sure I do I do understand that and it’s so important to make it your own yeah and this is about as close to [ __ ] Harry Ramden as I am to [ __ ] being head chef in McDonald’s brings me on to my next boner contention Ruby Tates well you stripped me of everything big deep
Breath I don’t [ __ ] care if you don’t like it I don’t [ __ ] care but you’re missing the most tangible asset of this [ __ ] restaurant L now you can argue call me an ass do whatever you [ __ ] want I don’t care you’re missing a trick loves yeah yeah hot hot um big night
