Tonight on Kitchen Nightmares the problem here is the food sucks Chef Ramsey heads to the heart of America God bless Middle America South Bend Indiana that looks like it closed down 10 years ago and find some unforgivable food it looks like a dog dinner what is that in
Need of extraordinary help good and gracious God we ask to bless this food amen but Gordon’s going to need more than a prayer to turn this restaurant around it’s an insult to fast food it just makes me want to cry two of the owners are barely there Rick
You’re not here you can’t blame this on me you’re never here the third is running it into the ground what’s wrong with the business John I’ve lost the passion oh my God and an angry staff is caught in the middle you’re killing this man over here saying that he’s not good
At anything don’t BL everything on him can Gordon unite the owners and resurrect Jay willings I’m not going to do anything don’t give up on my [ __ ] we’re going to end up homeless and it’s all because of Jay Willies that’s coming up on Kitchen Nightmares South Bend Indiana a middle class Town made famous by the University of Notre Dame just a few miles down the road is Jay Wily’s restaurant owned by husband and wife Rick and Trisha and their friend John William we’re having a great day at day at Jay Willies this is
Richard speaking how may I help you when we took this over it was making great money every year consistently this made great money yo yo let’s make money man come on the day-to-day management of Jay willly is left to John as Rick and Trisha live over 3 hours away where they
Own another restaurant who knows what’s going to happen tonight we assumed that John would be able to uphold the service standards and the food quality that we have and it will continue to make money I can do it and John has run Us in to the
Ground John has just let things go I certainly got off kilter he needs to step up he’s got to be the spark he’s got to be the fire he can’t just be back there thinking and contemplating what he’s supposed to do he’s got to do it it’s really been tough since we were
Struggling and we weren’t really bringing in the cash we don’t have a chef in the kitchen I’m just here to to serve what he wants me to serve and get it out as fast as possible all right got an order up get a lot of complaints
About the quality of the food here and that was just a frozen P I’d rather have a little bit that was really gross it’s not much fun working in a restaurant when all you have to experiment with is canned beans and uh enchilada sauce out of a jar the standards have declined so
Far that I I’m not even sure we can revive it I don’t think we’ll come back unless something sticks sales have just pretty much flatlined you know this sucks this is tough now now this place is so depressing it’s hard to even talk about it because it just makes me want to
Cry now it’s just slipped into complete failure once it closes all the money I put in everything you know my inheritance everything it’s gone if we don’t make that 22,000 a week then we’re cooked we’ve cashed in our 401ks we have no savings and there’s nothing left so I
Mean if this doesn’t work we will no longer be here we’re going to end up homeless and it’s all because of Jay Willies but it’s just you know that’s It Jay willly B and Grill that’s fine but that’s that Gastly sign of the bottom whenever a sign’s flashing it means desperation the outside building well that looks like it closed down 10 years ago let’s hope inside is much better my God good afternoon good morning Rick good to see you Gordon
David benh David nice to see you first of all who put that ghastly sign up outside the one with the flashing lights I believe our owner John is John here yes he is I can’t wait to meet him very embarrassed to have Gordon Ramsey come in here uh he’s a world reknown Chef
We’re not even close to being up to a decent standard Chef Ramsey John William John good to see you so you are Jay Willie yes sir excellent good take a seat Chef this is uh my wife and first name sorry Trisha Trisha nice to see you nice to
Meet you so Trisha and Rick together and John is your partner I’m going to have a good look at the menu and uh look forward to catching up with all three of you I’m really nervous about what he might order because there’s quite a few
Items on the menu and I know he’s not going to like the pictures in there always nervous when there’s menus with ghastly pictures did you need a few more moments now you know what I’m going to order the loaded potato pizza yeah let’s go for the Famous Ribs I’ll go for this pool
Pork cheese boat not a problem thank you my dad thank you very much thank you so much say a little prayer trust me I already said a prayer today okay here’s his order is that Ramsey yes sir I’m just hoping Gordon Ramsay isn’t too hard on me because this type of food
Wasn’t my idea frer is ready to go God it’s Grim in here sad and grim and a carpet that looks like it’s had a thousand Buffalo walking all over it holy [ __ ] I now have load of baked potato pizza lovely thank you holy mackerel that’s the strangest pizza I’ve ever
Seen I’m going to ask my beloved father to bless my food gentlemen can I have a quick favor yes would you mind just blessing my food oh yeah would you sure yeah if you be say kind absolutely well good and gracious God we ask that you bless this
Food bless Chef Gordon as he is about to receive it that it may nourish him we ask this through Christ Our Lord amen thank you fingers crossed yeah God oh my God what is all there that is a ranch sauce so they put a ranch dressing on
The pizza yes it’s almost like sort of wallpaper paste so the pizza sucks I can see that right can I help you John your pizza has bombs to be honest I I’ve tasted the pizza and it tasted good I didn’t see what he was talking about the
Ribs going to be right huh what do you think think yep perfect ribs finally the ribs thank you you’re welcome I was hoping maybe just maybe he’d like the ribs Chef I’m doing all right here who’s responsible for the sauce Chef recipe or it’s a generic
Sauce it’s a shame cuz it just destroys the flavor they are embarrassing yeah I mean you got colllege in there a mouthful of fat green on the outside that’s not even trimmed sad I I agree I’m very embarrassed bit like the restaurant sad dude we serving an untrimmed rib man
What do you un trimmed off the bat all ribs have fat off John doesn’t get it he is ordering an inferior rib he’s trying to cut Corners I’m just so frustrated that I feel like banging my head against the Wall sandwich with F thank you D enjoy thank you processed cheese that just like glue pulled pork sandwich yeah that’s pulled straight out of the bin Sweet Taste of nothing and absolutely ghastly oh dear they have a PO por sandwich oh um sorry excuse me forgive
Me Father but they have sinned and I out of respect for you guys you’re not going to eat that okay I don’t want to go straight to hell oh man forgive me they have sinned after saving the priests from an ungodly meal dear dear Gordon’s anxious to meet their creative minds
Responsible for the food Jeff Gordon are you the chef we don’t really have a chef how can we not have a chef the recipes don’t really change everything things prepared the same way you seem to stand proud of that the menu was designed to cut a lot
Of the labor out cut a lot of Labor out and serve [ __ ] I finally am glad that I have somebody who agrees with me as far as the standards on the food John doesn’t listen to me hopefully he’ll listen to Gordon I think at Midwest Cuisine you
Think of the excitement in terms of you know a lovely bra rib a fantastic Source The Source was synthetic we sell a lot of them is that an excuse to serve [ __ ] cuz you sell a lot of them are you that la or you sell them so [ __ ] it who cares
Sorry that attitude stinks can we have a chat as owners somewhere yeah together right now J ready H that went about as it as I expected yeah dissatisfied with the answers found in the kitchen Gordon takes the owners aside hoping to determine the root of the problem what’s wrong with the business
John John has to be the leader here he’s not taking any energy ship passion exactly and there’s none I try but without any money the passion is tough when you when you’re going downhill how much you in for if you to close the door tomorrow million two so you’re you’re on your
Ass I is the first and only house I’ve ever owned yeah we’ve never owned a house before any children anywhere no we can’t have kids some too busy baby sitting to restaurants she deserves to have kids Too my wife would love to have a child she deserves it but we can’t do it cuz cuz of Jay Willies I mean I just feel so bad because I keep she’s such a beautiful woman I can’t give her what she she deserves I this wasn’t how we planned Our Lives
We are in the ship we’re Screwed Gordon is hoping tonight’s dinner service will give him some more answers as to why this restaurant is failing hi hi there welcome to Jay Willies how you folks doing today floodgates is open get the potato skin potato skin sure I’m thinking the fish sandwich oh got a 16in pizza what’s
That for it’s a special pizza so that’s a frozen dough frozen dough ranch dressing and then the what these little fish food pellets yeah free Frozen sausage that’s the sadest excuse I’ve ever seen for a pie in my life there’s no doubt I’ve taken some I’ve
Cut some Corners some of the items are frozen and that’s just from a cost point of view what’s that there uh cooked chicken I it’s like cat food in here well it’ll get fully cooked it’s really hard when you’re trying to stay open and what’s in here
And B potatoes you don’t clean them before they go in there’s po SKU my God that’s I I didn’t put them in the Oven everything’s read God bless Middle America the quality of the food is just not there I wouldn’t feed it to my dog it’s embarrassing it really is buy it defrost it fry it send it you can’t call yourself a restaurant no wonder no one’s coming back Jay
Willies is doing bad because John is not upholding the standards what up okay thank you the things that I see in this restaurant it’s like he he accepts it all and rolls rolled over and died you think it’s too greasy so you sent your fish back yes I
Did what is that F salmon fish sandwich like it frozen holy ma my whole sandwich is like all I want something I’m going to eat what have we got here oh Lordy what’s wrong with that Dolly she doesn’t like it she doesn’t like it looks like a dog’s dinner what
Is that oh my God that is a shock um I’m absolutely devastated I mean they’re cutting corners but all in the wrong places and John’s clueless nobody’s responsible for the kitchen but overall it’s an insult to fast food it’s a [ __ ] Disgrace son of why the ribs back she said it these were too mushy these were too full garlic food coming back they’re done I I I don’t know what to say food just put in the process more food coming back that’s been sent out I mean it’s
Almost like you guys have just you know given up I’m standing here with my drawer on the floor this was definitely humiliating eye openening embarrassing Gordon Ramsay’s appearance at the restaurant may have brought in some extra customers we’re not eating we’re going to eat some else but unfortunately
The food has scared many of them away Jay Willies is doing bad because John’s killing off the business that’s bottom Mind after a miserable dinner service Gordon decides that he needs to meet with not only the owners but with the entire staff we have some serious issues back there I wanted you all together to get an idea of how you felt and how does it make you feel when you serve that
Food that hard embarrassing embarrassing I’m amazed you guys put up with it it’s getting harder and harder every day cuz the paychecks keep getting Slimmer and Slimmer and our sales are dropping Like a Rock because John’s inability to make anything happen Rick you’re not here you’re killing this man over here saying that
He’s not good at anything you wouldn’t be here if this restaurant wasn’t dying so you don’t you can’t blame this on me I’m not blaming it all on you there’s stuff everywhere I’m saying don’t blame everything on him you’re never here I cannot come down here and run this restaurant we lived
Three and a half hours away John has to do it has to come from John the point the point is you’re just not helping the business blaming John for it and it’s wrong he’s here yeah he’s here every day goes through to ruin our business you
Know this is our business too I have mouths at home de Feast nail Me to the Cross Rick’s ridiculous I really just want to punch Rick sometimes to be honest this whole issue is not what the problem is with this restaurant the problem here whether we all like it or
Not is the food sucks and it’s not fresh and even frozen food is handled badly all three of you should be ashamed to stand there and allow it to go on is it time to get somebody else to run it I mean you know have you had enough I believe it’s still
In me I just need somebody to help I need somebody to cover my back all three of you need to wake up and wake up quickly coming up we’re sat here wondering why the business is on his ass Gordon uncovers more problems at J willings I wanted to hide my face so people
Wouldn’t associate me with such crap forcing the owners to take drastic action unbelievable just let it all go is the staff in this restaurant so clueless and I don’t know what to do that it may be impossible for Gordon Ramy to turn them around I’m not going
To do anything until that you’re ready to commit don’t give up on a [ __ ] up next on Kitchen Nightmares after the staff meeting Gordon takes a peek into the kitchen storage what’s that there and uncovers the unthinkable this is basic hygiene doesn’t get drained and the blood it’s
Sat out in a warm kitchen it’s not even cold John there’s more when Chef Gordon pulled those potato skins out I knew that he had found something that I wasn’t going to like so hold on a minute that’s going to be deep fried tomorrow yeah that’s really going to make it
Taste better right potatoes are rotten and we’re sat here wondering why the business is on his ass starts at the top John it’s called responsibility no wonder you’ve given up I’ve been in denial and I’ve lowered my standards and it takes somebody like a Gordon Ramsay
To come in and and wake you up Rotten Tomatoes soft rotten rotten Peppers the whole box is wrong I wanted to crawl into the table and hide my face so people wouldn’t associate me with such crap if you seriously are honest with yourself that you are starting again then we start
Again I we’ll do whatever it takes I’d be [ __ ] ashamed Chef I’m embarrassed where do I start with the problems in this restaurant the staff have got their issues but that’s irrelevant the big problem is the food and the quicker they all get up to speed
With how [ __ ] the food is the better cuz that is embarrassing John yeah you going to pitch all this crap Chef Ramy gave us a challenge to see if we’re committed to changing this food and making it better it’s a fresh start for every everybody everything
Right oh my God are they taking all the food out they are I guess we start new tomorrow I guess so I was absolutely ecstatic that he was throwing everything away it has been a huge complaint for a long time so how does it feel to thr all
That away does it feel like a pering yeah I have to now it could let it go just let it all go it’s a huge amount of food that we threw away this evening John does it feel good yeah we’re starting fresh and that means getting rid of
Everything when I finally saw John throwing out food that he would have otherwise saved I knew that we were taking the first step to Mak him progress okay there a fresh start to a fresh day after the owners took it upon themselves to clean out their restaurant this
Morning Gordon is looking for the owners to Bear their souls good morning how are we good tough day yesterday real tough SE out the restaurant cleaned out the kitchen and I’d like to think we started a a new chapter I want to chat with you I want
To clean out our conscience Rick you’re first yeah let’s Go okay clearing your conscience is about reaching inside and being honest with yourself yeah biggest fear is what my fate rests in John’s hands and that really scares me I want this to work desperately I just haven’t got much to work with that’s what I’m struggling with most people who face depression the
Problems I have give up and I I refuse to do that that I will fight till the last dog dies I like your determination you know that I appreciate it Chef who’ you J to I don’t have a anybody to voice my concerns so it’s been tough everything’s pretty much

This morning I’m ready to go look forward to seeing you later Trish what do you want to see happen I want John to be Jay Willie if I could take half a rig and put it in John’s body I think things would be a little bit better he’d have

Success tonight on Kitchen Nightmares what a mess Chef Ramsey faces the most stubborn owner he’s ever met Billy can you talk to me please no have nothing to say his Long Island restaurant is crumbling oh my God what a disaster disaster but he refuses to admit anything is wrong you can’t think this
Is good it’s not bad in everybody’s opinion his wife is a mess I don’t know what to do the chef doesn’t care I don’t want to be a chef and his staff is just plain angry come on be a [ __ ] baby Billy you’re the man everyone here thought you were
You’re a weak Man Billy when Gordon gives him a dose of the truth this is embarrassing so why can’t you act like a man and do something about it it’s more than this owner can handle I wouldn’t talk to my dog the way you talk to me go
[ __ ] yourself I’ll make it work myself without his help with only one week to turn it around everything’s coming out and this place is going to get clean Gordon Ramsay’s demands for change may have this owner On The Run Billy I’ve had it with these people and this
Restaurant’s doors may be closed forever put the place up for [ __ ] sale I’m done done Mount Si New York an upper middle class town on the North Shore of Long Island inhabited by the working class and City commuters with no shortage of trendy eering and then there’s the handlebar
Hello handlebar how can I help you Bill looy a former construction worker and his wife Carolyn bought the handlebar just one year ago oh boy the handle bar was a really nice place and when I saw it was for sale I jumped on it and our specials menu when we came into the
Handelbar we saw that it had been run down but Billy be being so handy now they’re on we saw the potential of having a great place and it’s Heyday this was the place to be this was the place that the judges came this was the place that the lawyers
Came the doctors came now it’s not like that anymore the nightmare began when 70% of the money was coming from the bar and almost nothing was coming from the dining room when you can’t turn 18 tables on a Friday or a Saturday night you’re in out of
Trouble bill is an okay manager can I bother you to make me a cup of coffee Billy usually stays at the bar but being an owner he has to be more involved like answer the phone somebody on the phone sometimes he can be very grouchy now go put all the stuff back
Where you got it then I didn’t do like his mood swings changed I’ve had it with these people this place is gross like dirt filth that had been built up over the past 20 years the interior it looks dated the de core I think it’s great the core menu I is basically the
Same as I inherited with the restaurant they look disgusting I don’t know why anybody orders them Melissa is an excellent Chef I’m not a chef I don’t claim to be a chef I don’t want to be a chef I not very creative 5 minutes the food is crap my f
Wasn’t I think hiring me wasn’t necessarily the best idea I don’t know what I’m doing here I don’t intend for it to be my career I really don’t think Melissa has any weaknesses as a cook the day we call it quits is the day we have not one penny to put into this
Place we took out an equity line of credit that’s almost maxed out and drains our our savings account God help us if the handlebar fails we risk losing our house then I never want to lose my house we need to worry about you and me in The Handlebar bottom line if Chef
Ramsey doesn’t come here our time is very limited I definitely don’t think it’s another Year Chef Gordon Ramsey is on a mission to turn the handlebar around go west west left West right except he has one small problem handle bar I’m lost um I what if you could help me okay I’m right on the fork but do I go left do I go
Right cuz they both say West okay so you’re going to Bear to the right right and there’s going to be like a big shopping center right after it okay there it is there handlebar there’s Gordon Ramsey how do you know cuz I just talked to him on the
Phone get out of here really yeah handle bar finally now we’re in Mount Si just outside New York Mount Si sounds a little bit like cide I hope it doesn’t taste like it I’m a little nervous to meet chef ramsy I’m Carolyn car how are you the

Busy dining room’s empty look at the place the deco’s ghastly it’s so 80s even the fish tank’s been here longer than me gosh what am I doing I think Chef Ramsey came close to ordering the worst things but you know everything that’s here is pretty much crap food thanks

Your food thank you very much he said your soup was fabulous really yes he loved it I think Melissa’s a great cook I think she’s very creative I think Melissa underestimates her off a lot I thought it came out pretty shitty this time there’s some there’s crab in there
There’s Lobster and some shrimp in there also thank you no problem hi Chef Ramsey seems to have a uh Habit to take his food apart before he eats it so I’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say here we go how is everything rubbery um the scallops are firm uh-oh the
Prawns are way over cooked oh God and the crab meat it’s plastic it’s imitation crab meat yeah if you told me it imitation crab meat I wouldn’t haveo it oh God help me well that was his ass Seafood crepe yeah that’s Seafood crap this is the worst of it I’m sure
Dear I’m waiting on my beef fondue Philly minion fondue which is raw so why am I waiting so long there’s the steak and this is the oil thank you no problem nothing like waiting think to cook your own meat is there all right put that in time for a little of Prayer ah comes out looking like dog Food he TST it out I’m leaving that was rancid pointless tasteless a complete utter joke I’m going to cry why would you deep fry the filimo one of the country’s best steaks deep fried are they stupid oh No I wanted him to be happy with us but I kind of knew deep down inside that there has to be something wrong with the restaurant otherwise he wouldn’t be here oh my God what a disaster disaster it’s a disaster it’s hi after an underwhelming first meal okay pull together Gordon realizes that
The owners and the chef are oblivious to the restaurant’s real problems what’s wrong with the business it’s this room as you see and we can’t fill 18 tables on a Friday night that’s the problem no the problem here is the food the food’s bad Bill I never really
Had complaints about the food so that was never really an area of concern to me when the fondu arrived I mean that’s just a joke I don’t enjoy the fondue either but you’re the chef aren’t you you’re the one that’s yeah you’re you’re running it as the head chef right that
That’s the intent so change it I don’t know what to do about it have you lost your passion I never had a passion to begin with I I don’t want to be a chef I was really shocked that that the way she felt so you’re not a chef no I
Had applications for the job here as a chef when she approached me and said would you give me the opportunity I mean you don’t ask for that opportunity if you don’t care what you’re doing why did you take the job Melissa if you’re not a chef the other guy was going out that
Was here okay um I didn’t think our situation was as bad as I’m finding out minute by minute coming up oh my God Almighty Gordon’s shocking kitchen investigation this place hasn’t been cleaned in years that’s disgusting leads to a wild showdown between Billy and Gordon I
Wouldn’t talk to my dog the way you talk to me go [ __ ] yourself with the future of The Handlebar on the line I don’t know what to do it’s a mess will Billy be able to put his pride aside and accept Gordon’s help I’m done I’m done
So done the hell with everything or will he give up on the restaurant for good I don’t care if it’s all for nothing Billy you’re not going to believe what happens tonight on Kitchen Nightmares having exposed Melissa’s apathy in the kitchen I don’t need this out of my Gordon observes a dinner
Service to find out how her attitude is affecting the Food I know he’s here to help but it’s still very nerve-wracking having someone of his stature standing there staring at you what are they there the mushrooms is that how that goes out like that yes holy crap stuff mushrooms gosh those mushrooms look sadder than the customer Gordon said they’re very sad
Mushrooms why when just now actually that’s a recipe of my own I made it myself I was very disappointed that it wasn’t presented to him the right way people eat that [ __ ] for you what’s my choice potato rice vegetable big potato mashed potato french fries rice vegg we
Used have instant half with fresh potatoes why do they mix the powdered mashed potatoes with fresh mashed potatoes that’s a way of reusing the baked potatoes so you don’t even actually make fresh mashed potatoes no no do you want mashed potato baked potato french fries rice or vegetables fren
Fries don’t burn them please okay that’s burnt a little more done than usual but other than that yeah just an hour into dinner service and the restaurant has run out of basic vegetables we ran out of broccoli cauliflower yeah and replaced them with an unusual substitute radishes radishes
Wow never heard of that before how are you radishes honestly Gordon of course not something I would you know expect with my state you want some veg right yeah you know is there anything to keep him happy have we checked with Melissa I I wouldn’t eat the radishes either so
Customers are complaining about no veg any broccoli vegetable carrots or cabbage V stop they stalks uh yeah that’s a frozen bag that’s why it’s crap even though Melissa is managing to keep up with the orders the customers are still not satisfied I don’t like it at all this is unable it’s not
Real and Gordon needs Billy to finally understand that the food is handlebars Bigg problem Billy customers are complaining about the food you can’t walk around oblivious the fact that you think this is good yeah but it’s not bad in everybody’s opinion you can’t take care of everybody’s taste buds something that
Some people like other people aren’t going to like that at all no one’s got any control and Basics here that have just gone completely [ __ ] wrong if you accept it everybody else has accepted it and truthfully you’ve accepted it no absolutely not I was kind of really
Disappointed I knew we needed help I didn’t think we were that bad I was quite skeptical about his intentions whatever really starting to dislike Him after witnessing last night’s pathetic dinner service Gordon comes in early for a kitchen inspection what a mess nothing labeled portions taken out that’s Dreadful broccoli last night we ran out of vegetables God the chef can’t be bothered to cook fresh broccoli the reminiscence of Exon
Valdes oh my god when was the last time the back of the fridge was clean and you look at it what is that in there oh my God Almighty that there was a clam oh what a mess the state of the fridge Melissa you got 2 minutes has only confirmed
Gordon’s belief that the restaurant lacks true passion and Leadership so you’re in charge of the kitchen and the general hygiene supposed to be yes why is it in a mess uh it’s 100 times cleaner than it was 6 months ago sure it was okay when
Was the last time you had a little wipe down there or uh in here just just even that I’ve never done my God unbelievable oh this is embarrassing that usually does clean out right okay I’m glad you’re starting to make excuses for it y if you thought
This was bad have a look at this Chef Ramsey seemed to feel that I was making excuses for everything and really had no idea of the past practices that had gone on here okay last night we served frozen vegetables to a customer and we got two
Boxes of broccoli there you know I can’t do it all that’s it you were happy to serve frozen broccoli over fresh broccoli I’m trying to open up your eyes Billy and explain to you you know what the current situation is when was the last time this fridge was cleaned a week
Ago oh come on this hasn’t been cleaned in years no it no no no it hasn’t I’m sorry 21 years in the business I’ll bet every [ __ ] dollar I have this [ __ ] place hasn’t been cleaned in years I’m disgusted put your hand down there you still never did bend down and
Touch it it was a big thing of denial for him I’ll take responsibility for the fact that I haven’t changed it but it’s not all my fault you know everything’s coming out and this place is going to get cleaned I wish he’d give me a little
More credit for cleaning it up as much as I have so far it looks 60 70% times better than it used to look in here really that’s disgusting fine no it’s it’s it’s not fine we got a big problem when was the last time that fridge was
Steamed cleaned I had the kid in there doing it last week did you check what he’ done no obviously not so why can’t you act like a man and do something about it y my God I just don’t even know what to say anymore he just keeps tearing apart
Everything that wasn’t done and not giving me credit or uh pat on the back for things that were done unfuckingbelievable so that just proves and confirms how weak this guy is he’s not running this place this place is running a him and is in need of a [ __ ] serious clean that is
Appalling prompted by Gordon’s shocking Discovery Melissa enlists the weight staff to do a thorough cleaning what do you use to clean that whe and soap it’s disgusting I really wish I had a mask on me right now Billy just 2 seconds him I was hoping he was going to tell me
I understand Billy that this isn’t your fault but it really needs to be taken care of so let’s take care of it I’m [ __ ] pissed off and I’m upset on the kind of [ __ ] that I’ve just discovered in there time to drag me through the mud some more it is what it
Is you don’t seem one [ __ ] ounce bothered about it Billy you can’t just stick your head back in the sand ignore it Billy sure you can what do you want me to do flip out and yell and scream like you do that’s not my way the responsibility is yours Billy I guess
You want something done right I guess you have to do it yourself maybe I just get rid of everybody in the restaurant I’ll do it all myself and then when it doesn’t work out and then when I drop dead because I [ __ ] sleep 2 hours a
Day then maybe it’ll get done or maybe who cares once you’re dead it doesn’t make difference anyway oh come on now I feel you’re copping out of me now no because now I’m just getting dragged through the mud you’re a weak Man Billy I really justad had enough I was not
Going to be ridiculed just for the sake of needing his help finished can you at least talk to me no Billy can you talk to me please no have nothing to say Billy I wouldn’t talk to my dog the way you talk to me go [ __ ] yourself that’s right the hell with
Everything I’ll make it work myself without his help everything in my life that I’ve ever set out to do I did on my own finish I’m done what a weak Man Billy unable to accept Gordon’s criticism Billy Billy decides he’s had enough [ __ ] him [ __ ] him [ __ ] them the
Fridge is disgusting I’ve asked it to be cleaned he’s telling me I’m dragging him through the mud and he [ __ ] walks out he’s mad right now and he’s being stubborn he doesn’t want you to leave he wants your help he’s just not right now he’s to ashame to Adit it I just want
Him to act responsible while Gordon tries to make sense of Billy’s actions he doesn’t have to act like a baby Billy rehearses a speech to Gordon I am so done don’t make me own I have nothing to say to you not a word there was nothing in my head that
Made me want to think and reconsider about doing this can you go out there and just you know have a word with them you guys are the backbone of this place can’t just throw the towel in I knew Billy would get mad done just [ __ ] done with all this [ __ ] but honestly
You don’t face the truth you can’t do anything about it we’ve been busting our ass trying to help you out you’re giving up on yourself this place and all us and us I wouldn’t talk to my dog the way that jackass talks to me I’m done he’s
Telling you the truth though Billy great there’s ways to go about it 46 years old never been talked to like that by anybody and you know what the only thing that’s keeping me from [ __ ] hitting him with a [ __ ] B baseball bat is that I’d go to [ __ ] jail for it I’m
Done done done finished and you’re not the man everyone here thought you were Billy absolutely not you’re going to give up and you’re going to give up on all of us fine be a [ __ ] baby Billy [ __ ] it I’m done yeah you know what put the place up

Tomorrow you can all go [ __ ] yourselves and I don’t care if it’s all for nothing do not care Billy you know what I’ll survive somehow Billy [ __ ] you unbelievable having just missed her chance to diffuse the situation Carolyn now faces the prospect of running The Handlebar alone very upset I have a husband
Husband that’s ready to throw in the towel so here I am stuck holding the bag let me help you I want you to help me but I don’t know what to do I have a job that I have to work so I can pay my mortgage sure okay I don’t know what to
Do why can’t we work at turning this around I would love to work a turn this around okay let me open the restaurant tonight okay okay I’m feeling that I’m going to do what I have to do to make everything work because I’m not walking
Out now and I’m not flushing the last 17 years of my life down the bowl to further Inspire Carolyn to move forward with the plan Gordon shows her the dedication of her staff what a difference it’s looking great better you’ve done a great job we
Were cleaned the walk in we were more or less just doing it to just show that like we are are dedicated and we do want this to work Billy’s gone whether he comes back lateer or not it’s not going to affect what we’re doing tonight we’re opening and we’re opening with a clean
Fridge healthy attitude we’re hungry to get this place full yes let’s go her courage now bolstered by her staff’s support Carolyn leaves Billy a message Billy I’m not going to stop now I will do whatever it takes to make my restaurant succeed with Chef Ramsey’s help I’ll succeed I just told him my
Determination that I’m going forward with this regardless of if he wanted to or not the restaurant is about to open for dinner but to get the handlebar moving in the right direction Gordon makes some quick additions to the menu Melissa let’s do a special tonight some fried
Clams with a homemade tart sauce it switch clams Chef ramsy he’s one of the best chefs in the world you know standing right next to me and was uh very surreal generously season the with the flour straight in Into the Fire and then again a nice little season there okay
Yeah the minute the customer rides at the table they sit down and we need to give them fresh hand cut homemade potato chips a warm welcome no those are good this place is more laidback so I think the chips are a good idea it’s different nice hi good evening do you have a
Reservation um I thought it was great that Chef ramsy could show us how to make such a simple thing like potato chips that everybody would love we do have a special appetizer today deep fried clams with a homemade tar sauce all right we yeah potato chips going well specials going well keep it
Going yeah nice atmosphere in the dying really good clams there we are clams every day love the clams they said that’s the best thing that they’ve ever had here so it’s going really good we’re not serving dirty bows to the table let’s go MIA I didn’t think he was going to come back I was really really surprised that he came back so quickly I am angry about things that transpired earlier in the day still hours after threatening to sell the business owner Billy returns to The Handlebar just in time for dinner
Service there was absolutely no part of me that still wanted Chef Ramsey to be here I wanted him to be gone Billy come on let go of it when Billy came back he had his bad attitude of yeah whatever Billy please I love you that’s why I’m
Here that’s all that matters that’s all that matters I can honestly say that I love my wife more than anything in this world so I came back here for my wife while Billy tries to reconnect with his restaurant I need my food Melissa struggles to give the weight staff
Complete orders I ran half the [ __ ] order I need the rest of it there’s a lot of problems who’s this for here Melissa it’s been here in 37 minutes I don’t know the creeps I forgot half of it so Melissa just stopped communicating I mean that’s just how Melissa is and I
Think that’s when we ran into problems are any of my Foods coming out for any of my taable I have no idea I’m so freaking been communication is one thing and it’s not happening right now oh boy and I was you know in the weed so much I really couldn’t tell
Who was waiting and was wanting I need salmon pontier there’s the salmon on that I think melista got very flustered back there this place was total chaos it’s 9:00 I’ve been here since what time 5:30 I just don’t know what to say with the orders backed up in the kitchen
Killing me killing me whatever God help us impatient hungry customers begin taking out their frustrations we should have come on each other know what you’re talking about before you open up your mouth I can open up my mouth anytime you can do have you please stop talking to
My parents this way that’s ridiculous it’s a total disaster and uh really think I’m to the point now that I don’t know what else to do come on Billy can we talk about it yeah Billy has no choice but to listen to Chef Ramsey because if he won’t listen then we might
As well just shut the doors and walk away right now I have never ever ever seen my kitchen fall apart like that ever ever on our busiest nights never have I seen that ever Melissa has to talk now this is the most crucial stage of the service where she has to open up
And and talk and get help from the help it’s just delegate with so many tables on the man is one of the top chefs in the world and um maybe I should um put aside the ill feelings and listen to what he has to say Melissa may not be
Communicating but the menu is faster yeah I see what you’re saying at that point I was very openminded to his ideas seriously I’m pleased you’re back yeah I you’re the you’re the foundation of this place we have a little chat with staff because I think they would like to hear
That we’re all on the same track the first hour of service was amazing and then we got backed up we got backed up bad Melissa you refused to communicate I didn’t know what the [ __ ] was going on yeah I agree with you honestly this menu has to come down yes
That has to be condensed it’ be appreciated new small Dynamic menu a menu that we can push out it’ll be real nice to get a new menu that’ll be more concise and in order it’ll be good relaunch tomorrow night we have to make it the success get some sleep
