This week I’m in Paris but just when I thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen stop it get out Jesus what’s the matter let go I’ve seen some bad kitchens in my time but not quite as disorganized and chaotic as this I I
Think you’re a fake I’m just going to leave cuz G Rams is going to [ __ ] leave you’re lazy you put nothing into it and you deserve a kick up the [ __ ] ass Paris France capital of the colonary world and a city where I spent my formative years as a chef having lived
Here for 3 years just so happy to be back in Paris the French are a nation of meat lovers each eating an average of 90 kilos of the stuff every year a vegetarian restaurant in Paris my God in the heart of the marry one of paris’s Premier neighborhoods for
Gastronomic Delights Pico Tatro a tiny vegetarian restaurant run by Scott rent MCN is struggling to survive it’s nice to Be Your Own Boss if you like but it’s also very stressful you know I think if the restaurant was doing well and it didn’t have all the debts that it had
Then I would probably be sleeping a lot better millions of hungry parisians and tourists flock past every day but only a few are choosing to eat at Piccolo and those that do wish they hadn’t fash and put sace on your yes since Rachel took over the business
She’s been losing nearly 5 half grand every month the debts are spiraling out of control and if things don’t pick up she’ll be closed in 3 months Piccolo tiatro not me this is her first I spent 3 years working my butt off in a prian
Kitchen and I know just how tough it can be hello hello how are you I’m well thank you nice to see rightwise good to see you too now how does a beautiful Scott find herself in the middle of Paris running a vegetarian restaurant how up in Paris a French man originally
Okay um well I’m vegetarian for since I can remember so I was attracted to this restaurant um I’m dying to get in the quicker I can get in the quicker I can get out indeed the size of it is minut Rachel runs the place with the help of her best friend Stephanie her
Only waitress you’ve been friends since 4 yeah amazing there are just two chefs Comm Chef Fiona only works three mornings a week Daniel is the head chef and Resident philosopher dude what is this one from Glasgow as well dude no where is he from bra he’s Brazilian okay what dish would you like
To recommend for lunch and in lasna pistach yeah it’s absolutely delicious it’s not on the menu at the moment is this this normal oh yes yes welcome to the mad house so we got a pistachio a wall nut and now Brazilian nut classic Itali there and there was a
Couple here um the other day who had just got engaged that day and they ordered the humus and they said it was the best they’d ever had in their lives so uh you might want to try it I cannot believe I’m sat here in the middle of
Paris if my chef M Gava and J ban Could See Me Now they would beat the crap out of me you know that to start the famous hummus salad to with raisins and dried onions get off there I love her Miss but that’s disgusting so how would you describe the
Food not particularly spectacularly exceptional is this girl for real next up carrot Gratton which if done properly should have a gorgeous bubbling cheese crust okay so that’s the Graton there yeah b o it’s almost a bit of an insult to a vegetarian fine they don’t eat meat but they deserve some form
Of respect in terms of cooking vegetables properly Steph you got 2 minutes please yeah time for this bunch of jok to face the music the joking and the fun and the singing and all that crap that’s fine when you’ve got a success the food was [ __ ] it wasn’t nearly there it was a
Mess most of the customers that come here do actually leave satisfied and do enjoy the food okay I’m deeply concerned because I got to get him in the right frame of mind and standing out being a vegetarian restaurant in the middle of Paris is a [ __ ] hard task okay thank
You bad food and bad attitude this is going to be tough there’s a lot riding on Piccolo succeeding Rachel’s got a young son to support and her dad has invested at least £50,000 in the business she needs to Spill the Beans you haven’t paid rent since last October
Since October 1,600 a month should have been paid and the tax man’s ow 10,000 there is a bank loan which hasn’t been paid uh for uh about six months it’s going to take a lot of hard work to pull Piccolo back from the brink and and and
Seriously how bad do you want to save the business badly yeah absolutely yeah of course I do it’s I don’t have anything else here you know it’s my it’s my life it’s my livelihood Piccolo clearly needs a massive shakeup but before I make any changes I need to see how Daniel runs the
Kitchen it’s Saturday night but at 7:00 p.m. with the first table already seated Rachel seems agitated he’s not ready and there’s hardly anything on the menu so he’s not ready like to do some Gooding yourself what’s You’ been doing for the last 3 hours that’s why I’m don’t know
He’s he’s just he’s pretty CH that’s just the way he is Daniel’s first order is for two Garden salads Almost 20 minutes later he’s still fiddling with the salads is this how it normally functions I would say it’s my fault this is a joke I’ve never seen anything like this I’ve not seen anything like this this Brazilian nut has lost his marbles no no no no it’s burn it’s burning it’s Burn Right the pan here burning I’m trying to change the pan for him and he’s just telling leave it there St there are now eight people in the restaurant and barely anyone is getting served I mean I’ve seen some bad kitchens in my time but not quite as disorganized [ __ ] chaotic as this
Daniel is clearly hard to handle but Rachel is the boss you’re right uh no I’m not all right I’m really [ __ ] pissed off in three [ __ ] hours he could have made a [ __ ] dish or two and he’s [ __ ] doing it on purpose he should be [ __ ] ashamed I’m
Ashamed I [ __ ] see any fuckingom killing your business this is so sad do you know that but he needs to get his [ __ ] acting GE and he needs to do something cuz we’re going to [ __ ] fall out big time anyway I’m going inside to see what’s going on Daniel’s lack of respect is
Disgusting get him out send him home and [ __ ] you Salvage something get some money in the till this is happening now apparently happened last weekend as well guys’s a Joke why is it customers we’ve asked nicely where are the Heavies when you need them I know come on Dani please let’s go St it out well it wasn’t a very good experience the uh entertaining it was entertaining dinner theater with the plates crashing around in the background
Our food wasn’t very good we put it politely the couscous was crunchy the tart was completely burnt to a crisp quite bur it looks like I’m going to have to take Daniel to The Nut House myself it’s very hard to control him and that is the problem [ __ ] shame out Saturday night
What a [ __ ] mess he’s still here [ __ ] me [ __ ] me let’s start again we could not have continued with that we can’t and I can’t take him back now after that because that’s just totally unexp it’s completely disrespectful to me how much did we take €150 [ __ ] disaster B you may have
Lost your chef but [ __ ] me you’ve got your Resturant Back I spent 3 years working in Paris in my early 20s so coming back should have been a dream come true but last night vegetarian restaurant Piccolo tiatro hit rock bottom h are we I’ve called a crisis meeting with the remaining staff good Fiona yeah Asante a how are you today
Fine good and you are the daytime morning chef yeah EXC if you can’t work evenings so Rachel is on the lookout for a new head chef in the meantime I’ll need Stephanie to help out in the kitchen during service what I’m trying to say to you when you see how easy it
Is you’ll be amazed I can help for a we well a we well cooking at this level doesn’t have to be difficult any of us could do it I’ve only got four days to turn things around so there needs to be a big change in Attitude around here and
I know it’s nice to have a little sort of Cozy Restaurant in the middle of the may but we got to start thinking about some form of discipline I think Daniel is exceptional and and can I just say one thing it’s very complicated working for a friend it’s very complicated for
Her uh and it’s very complicated for me friendship whatever it’s got nothing to do with it it’s a business first yes and the quicker we start getting our minds around to turning it into a business everybody else follows suit but before we do anything yeah and I mean seriously
Before we do anything this place needs a good [ __ ] clean yeah Rachel opens for lunch at weekends but there’s no way we can serve lunch today where do you start huh [ __ ] hell like [ __ ] pigeon food nice nice oh [ __ ] what is that carot Las [ __ ] me watch out there’s a lasagna coming
Don’t touch it [Applause] Bites Step St this is food which going wants to throw out cuz once it’s had a wash it’ll be perfectly fine you can see I don’t want you to eat anything from the fridge it’s got cinnamon in it I off when was last time that was clean it’s a blessing disguise that meat
Hasn’t been cooked in this kitchen [ __ ] hell with hygiene standards is low they would have been Wheeling out the customers by the coffin load that’s food in there yeah W huh why the [ __ ] would anyone keep [ __ ] little flies up there Rachel used to be the waitress
Here and what’s Crystal Clear is that she’s still acting like one [ __ ] hell got to take responsibility this is your money here huh rotten and fresh food stored together none of this is safe to eat why have you let it get into this state going to start cleaning
Again now I’ve got to work out how on Earth do you make a vegetarian restaurant in Paris successful fewer than 2% of the French population are vegetarian but 27 million tourists flock to Paris every year surely some of them are veggies are you a vegetarian they’re vegetarian or no no
No no no no no I like meat like meat have you ever been to a veget vegetarian restaurant no no no um are you vegetarians no finding a vegetarian in Paris yeah is like looking for an needle in a Hast tack are you vegetarians no no
Why not because I like meat are you a vegetarian uh yes I eat some fish but I’m vegetarian the only way Piccolo Will Survive is by serving veggie food that even meat eaters will love um all good food comes out of a small kitchen yes it’s time to get
Started on Piccolo’s drop dead delicious new menu until Rachel finds a new head chef and relying on part-time K Chef Fiona kidney beans in first yeah beans in a rich spicy two bean chili should have the veggies and Carnival’s chomping at the bit keep it all nice and fresh
Yeah yeah summer time exactly lovely there’s also a very cheesy tomato in obene Grattan to replace that tasteless sloa was served yesterday off seasoning is really important you I never put salt in my in my cook you never put salt in your cookie no not no not never okay but I’m vegetarian French
Vegetarian French you can still season things I know their food is Bland in general but you can still season it yes look at that look M salt oo salt I’m salt oo salt okay I use it and we go like this brings you good luck yes so
Now every day I want to SP salt [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] F has worked a few extra hours today and is that sort of commitment this business needs 5:30 go pick up your daughter thank you up very good day I’m happy Stephanie has agreed to cook tonight but at 6:00 neither She nor
Rachel are anywhere to be seen if they think I’m their new head chef they can go spin earlier Rach went off to feed her pregnant cat Stephanie had to go and sleep because she wasn’t feeling very well and look we’re an hour away from opening and there’s not one [ __ ] in
Here by myself so uh yeah if you’re going to open a restaurant [ __ ] don’t play at it work at it no sign of sta yet no any want to call her or I will call her yeah I just was expecting she would have been back I’ll give her a ring no kittens yeah
Rachel’s up to her neck in debt the business is on its knees and yet it all seems a big joke to her right try and hurry up please okay okay I’m starting to feel like they’re taking the Mickey out of me I need to know you know Are you seriously
Interested in turning this around I don’t get the feeling and I just like what the [ __ ] am I doing here bust my ass off in your establishment to help turn this around you went home and you said this morning you’ll be back at 3:30 my cat who’s about to give
Birth I had no choice and I had to have a shower okay I thought we’re going to be doing some stuff in the kitchen together so you nobody said anything uh about that said you be back soon but never mind okay are we going to get serious or because you know should I
Tell you how I feel I’d rather [ __ ] off home that’s how I feel because I don’t feel any form of commitment um I I I think it’s an incredibly admirable Enterprise what you’re doing toally committed stop stop stop stop come on let’s get a little bit real than
That look I’m committed to her but I’m not I’m not you know I just don’t get it with you I think you’re fake I don’t I I don’t get any [ __ ] not I’m not asking you to lay down a red carpet or kiss my ass I just I want commitment and I don’t
Feel that that’s all well you’re not going to get that if you tell people they’re a fe I but you you’ve just arrived yes and I’m just going to leave I’m really committed to reach but I’m not I just can’t I just just refused to be harassed and insulted insulted yes
Incredible harassed and insulted [ __ ] me take a good look at yourself thank you I’ve got lots of [ __ ] tonight and you’re leaving me in the [ __ ] lch yeah but I can’t I will [ __ ] leave here Okay jday one sorry [ __ ] hell we’re now down to one member of staff and I just don’t know if she’s committed to saving her business never worked with such [ __ ] Olympics in all my life I’ve had enough Rachel can sort out this St crisis herself yeah guard Ram is going to
[ __ ] leave Matt panick trying to find somebody to work with about 10 [ __ ] minutes to go uh so I just went to Scottish par and they said to come over here and uh one of the girls in there phone somebody and I found somebody so she’s coming in 10 minutes she’s going
To be in the restaurant in 10 minutes I think I I’m just I’ve just been so many crisises that I’m just starting to get sort of less stressed about it you know leaving Rachel alone is the best thing I could have done there’s not much in the fridges some with some
Salads she’s found a temporary waitress and has decided to go into the kitchen herself okay so I’m actually going to be in the kitchen because the normally my friend was supposed to be in the kitchen and she’s she just walked out so hello okay so who’s been the the din
I found a waitress to come and so you so I’m going to be in here I’m giving Rachel one last last chance to prove she really wants to save this restaurant yeah t is in the oven so we get the plate out put the on there thankfully these new dishes are fullprof
The Chili’s ready to go gratt and the chili for table five and the Gratton simply need heating up the first of Piccolo’s new hearty dishes are already hitting the spot I love V and about four minutes now for the main course don’t forget to give them some bread on table
Eight dad can I hold you back all right oh cool oh is India coming to do some work oh Magic okay Rachel’s dad has a financial staking Piccolo and has been looking for a new head chef you later bye oh my dad’s coming over with somebody and she’s a chef so she’s
Coming over tomorrow with my dad for I don’t know if she’s coming over to for how long but she’s going to help out anyway for the time being oh that’s good news Rachel has just been thrown a Lifeline [ __ ] what a nice um it started off as a disaster I felt at 6:30
This afternoon that I really wanted to get the [ __ ] out of it to be honest um no substance no commitment and uh two sort of tizes playing at running a restaurant so Stephanie [ __ ] off her attitude stinks and uh Rachel’s finally woken up I’m glad she started to sweat
Because that’s what it’s like running a restaurant and uh if she really wants this to succeed then get used to working like this because it’s a business got a phenomenal possibility of a great success here but it needs a commitment and that doesn’t mean a commitment from
A waitress it needs a commitment from a boss somebody who’s running the place so you know you proved tonight that you can do it so [ __ ] well done okay Cheers now things are finally looking up it’s time to deal with one of Rachel’s biggest mistakes not opening for weekday Lunch hordes of hungry tourists swamped marry looking for quick cheap lunch and many head for the snack bar at the end of Rachel’s street she should be working hard to grab a slice of the action but doesn’t think it’s worth it we opened at lunchtime for about a month and it was a
Complete waste of time really uh but there was just nobody here there was no customers we had maybe two three sometimes paying someone in the kitchen someone in the thing then because you’re doing the starting main course a lot of washing off let’s go get some business now I’ll
Prove that by offering a quick good value lunch Rachel could earn some much needed cash but I know this stubborn Scott will take some convincing so unbeknownst to her I’ll be opening the restaurant for lunch myself always dreamed of having my own restaurant in Paris and finally it’s
Here shoa a par unfortunately it’s a [ __ ] vegetarian restaurant so uh yeah soup and a roll [ __ ] if the soup’s good they’ll be back for dinner they all sat down at the same time now I’m in the [ __ ] there’s roasted Vine tomato soup with cheese on toast
For a bargain price of €6 and you don’t have to be veggie to enjoy that service it’s me again love usually roasted this morning 2 4 6 8 10 bingo bingo good Rachel better appreciate this I don’t even work this hard in my own restaurant coming up
Four serve the other people first right it’s very kind thank you all me did you leave a TP by the way uh there’s a little something ex okay good man good man excellent right 6 not opening for lunch in such a prime location is either Madness or laziness
This soup was the best soup we’ve ever had yeah it was really really yummy this was fabulous for us in terms of price 20 P two I feel like a pig in [ __ ] [ __ ] marvelous now all I’ve got to do is show Rachel what her laziness is costing
Her morning hello how are you my Dy I’m all right I’m a bit tired cuz my cat gave birth in the night that’s fantastic I was awake looking after how many cats have you got there’s only two luckily we bow a suit if someone opened my restaurant without telling me believe me
I’ noticed immediately good you make this soup I did make this soup yeah I’ve had a [ __ ] busy mon what we been up to you not see the sign outside no one there I I I I don’t know what we taken and I’m not [ __ ] around by any
Means but for me you say all out this morning on €6 ahe I swear to God I am not [ __ ] around and I don’t know if I believe you I’m just not going I’m sure I believe you actually but anyway okay I think it’s at6 that’s an awful lot of
People that youve serve soup was was the [ __ ] I swear to God they were standing up there and there was a queue and they were coming in and coming out I cooked and I served on my Jack right 300 that’s 430 clearly Money Talks seriously as an eye opener it worked
€450 I’m absolutely [ __ ] astonished really uh it’s really exciting we could do that every day then the whole business turn around just just from lunch time alone I’m nearing the end of my week in Paris where I’m trying to save vegetarian restaurant Piccolo theatro and rescue a damsel in distress you just
Don’t have the support of all your family and different friends and you know quite often I will for my mom or my dad and be down the phone you know it’s been disaster after disaster St nice one [ __ ] but the Cavalry has just strolled into town hearing of Rachel’s crisis her

Restaurants in one square mile of the city center where better to eat the nation’s favorite food I love a good curry here in the heart of the Midlands Nottingham this place has more restaurants than any other city across Britain so the chances to find a good curry is quite
High the new kid on the Block is the 110 seater Curry Lounge onor Raz a former pharmaceutical sales manager opened the restaurant 6 months ago in the h becoming Nottingham’s Curry King he spent nearly half a million quid on building his very own Bollywood dream we genuinely wanted to create
Something that had a bit of a wow factor that was [ __ ] me look at this WOW but Nottingham’s not been wowed by the curry Lounge raz’s bling Palace loses three grand a week and can’t survive for long I’ve put a lot of my own money into this
Business but if we don’t start hitting that 88 and a half th000 a week Break Even figure um we we potentially might not see Christmas I absolutely love Indian food and this is the first time I’ve worked in an Indian restaurant in Britain so I’m really Excited Raz is so proud of his Bollywood Palace that he’s prepared to bend the truth a little to get it noticed profession Awards best Indian restaurant wow hold on a minute runner up in 207 bullshitting [ __ ] hello how are you very than how are you
And first name sorry Raz Raz good to see just turn that music down so can hear your sorry EXC who designed it um most of the stuff you see was ideas I’ve picked up from various places it looks [ __ ] ghastly where did he get his inspiration lap dancing clubs how many screens have you got we’ve got seven in so you go direction to watch television no but

In Nottingham run her up yeah nice small detail there marketing bollocks marketing bollocks we’re not doing anything UNT and just when I thought I’d seen it all holy [ __ ] there’s your pole CH cheese that’s my what chili cheese n Christ almighty that looks like a large pair of knickers
What is that it’s basically a non son at Christmas time I could understand slightly pissed but [ __ ] me they don’t come out like that all the time do they you can get 3 49 on there rather than using four plates great isn’t it when you sat with your girlfriend you don’t
Want to talk to her say sweetheart hello [ __ ] off oh no not you Tash how are you I’m fine so SE bass at the curry Lounge F dry tasteless no salt no seasoning nothing platy hell a terrible dish and I didn’t even design it myself now for my DIY chicken and PRN spicy
Cora very greasy got a film of oil on top chicken’s really dry if every customer goes for a DIY Curry this restaurant must be serving up some real disasters has know you look at it now and it’s like it’s always on the verge of being pretentious you know and it’s
Lost its authenticity because it’s trying to be too smart for it’s own good and then out comes the [ __ ] swinging n kitchen’s through here EXC the chef’s name is apparently a man who’s worked in India’s best hotels is responsible for this it doesn’t add up Z okay this is z
Z Hi how are how are you fine you are the cleanest Chef I’ve ever seen in my entire life thank you Immaculate thank you shouldn’t he be at school that one though look it amazing okay thank [ __ ] for those ears otherwise the Hat was off
Okay and when I first arrived I was sort of uh confused the minute I arrived the deck all threw me yeah and so did the food the food was the food was Bland if someone asks you yes kma which is supposed to be mild and creamy and
Sweetish the guest insisting no I want it hot so what what shf has to do put chiles I felt there was no personality nothing individual it’s very plain and very boring the kind of food I could get anywhere we get regular comments every night how I’m I’m not interested in the
Positive know my staff in my restaurant listen to negatives I’m not here for positives so what I’m trying to my lunch experience be blammed and where that sits anywhere connected to Indian authentic Cuisine it’s game over this business is on the verge of closing we’re short of customers and we’re in the [ __ ]
Bingo I’m in Nottingham at the 110 CA Curry Lounge it’s a big restaurant with even bigger problems and I’ve only got 5 days to sort it out this is a first for me turning around an Indian restaurant now the basic principles are exactly the same no
Matter what the style of Cuisine is but daunting task very excited but I think it’s going to be a [ __ ] tough nut to crack it’s Friday night and the start of the weekend the only time of the week when the C Lounge is busy onor RZ is
Also front of house manager and he loves showing off to the punters mild Med medum already the customers are running Riot and creating their own coures thousands of years of Indian culture straight out the window remember Dave he had a garlic coconut and chili Nan yeah and uh on the menu
Garlic coconut and chili or do he make them up the architect she them up and uh his lady is asking about the salmon is there cream in there little bit yeah she said can you change it for yogurt cuz you did last time okay fine yeah so no
One sticks to the menu here they just order what they want said that you seen seen that are you mad you should be confident and happy with what you do is what’s good enough for them do I look like all right I’m a m person 100% is
That your idea no of course I will not take I will not take such a drastic step this is my boss idea finally I get it the pick and mix menu is a result of his former salesman trying to please everyone now if you want Lobster but it happens to be a mild
But you like it hot why the hell can’t you have it hot yes it pisses the staff off in the kitchen but at the end of the day if customer wants it they can have it as far as I’m concerned with the pick and mix option the customers can order over 100
Variations of the dishes it’s a curry DIY disaster KH and his team are swamped with orders he’s losing it and I’m not surprised out every chick is coming with something very Chang lamb four ways ridiculous this ludicrous menu is slowing up service too just been having
A nice chat while we’ve been waiting for the to arrive been waiting 10 15 minutes a little while as ERS flood in plates build up on the pass and where fresh food’s concerned that’s a disaster it’s got a big skin on there now that is fine oh [ __ ]
You come on come on come on if Ras thinks his DIY menu makes his restaurant stand out from the competition he couldn’t be more wrong tasted like it was more like from a supermarket rather than kind of coming out for a nice meal out in comparison pretty average fairly average it’s the
First time we’ve been you come back probably not as an Indian restaurant in notingham yeah is it average above average or is it in the all sty and no substance for me great tals in the ladies why do you treat your kitchen like a conve Val it’s like a it’s like a
Banqueting kitchen here there was so many orders spending and I have to go in and out in and out and out to take out the food I think deep down inside you could do much better sure love care and just a little bit of passion what are you thinking [ __ ] basically
Um we need to sort this out I know damn well we could all do damn site better good night y cheers see you in the morning yes Brian early yes gentlemen good night SH damn I haven’t enjoyed it tonight hav it’s the first time um since I open the restaurant that
Hurt leave it there I’m going to go for a [ __ ] Sil this restant has two major issues firstly the rest’s all blinged up and they got a menu to match it it’s [ __ ] humongous and ghastly if I’ve got any chance of turning this around the first
Thing I have to attack seriously is the food it’s hideous unbelievable Raz has built a flash restaurant and a tacki menu to match but the way I see it that’s nothing to brag about so this morning I’ve got to get razed to see the error of his
Ways for me at the heartbeat of any restaurant everyone comes back knocking on the door I want to taste the food again I don’t feel that here I think you’ve got a [ __ ] glamorous 1980s [ __ ] Indian restaurant that’s serving pretty mediocre Indian food and if you’re going to spend 600 700 34 million
Pound whatever it is f me what you’ve got to become as individual you know it is a bit hard for me to sit here and go [ __ ] I’ve got all that wrong come in I’ve still got to get this right nothing wrong with being proud at all providing
You’ve got that level of [ __ ] intelligence to [ __ ] Rectify okay and we’re going to start right this this [ __ ] minute okay yeah I mean literally no stay there you don’t have to move I’ve got it already oh great oh la la that’s one thing [ __ ]
Me have I been dying there you go that’s for you we doing both windows or one window no that’s not coming off water on there first and just look it’s tinted glass so it’ll scratch see but G you’re not oh here we go I’ve not done it to hurt anybody I didn’t do
It to piss any other winners off if you had Runners up in the same style I would still turn around and say Raz do yourself a favor get that [ __ ] off the window it looks [ __ ] hideous I’ll give you hand to take it off Gordon but
I just don’t that’s very kind if you can take the runners off up I will take it off you but I I what I I’m getting pissed off about you actually I’m glad you are I am I’m [ __ ] over the moon I like when you get pissed off it was
Meant to let customers know that we’ve just CR Runners up in two Awards okay do they know now who the customers what’s they doing so we get rid of it then yeah okay if you start there with the little Runners up the small bits and B you may
Need some glasses to get it off please don’t scretch the window smoke Glass sorry Runners up coming off sorry only Runners up we’ll try harder next year only Runners up next year we’re going to win lovely SL down you can’t see the sign oh [ __ ] he’s gone only Runners up sorry he’s gone now Going lovely thank you I bet that [ __ ] hurt didn’t it no I’m actually enjoying it huh now I’ve cleaned those windows I can turn my attention to the biggest problem of all the food come like most Indian restaurants the S stocks that form the base of the curries
Are prepared in advance incredibly all the 130 crate year own curries are made up from just three stocks no wonder they all taste the same oh dear I’ve also found jars of curry paste and frozen samosas the only freshly prepared food is the Nan bread what a waste of
Talented chefs 12 seconds each n like a little Harry Potter there working your magic The Wizard of the N well done Harry this isn’t a restaurant kitchen it’s a food factory most of the time we get in 2 hour sometime 100 cover 120 cover you have to give fast food quick
Quick quick quick quick quick I’ve asked KH to cook every dish on the menu holy mackerel the amount of food there is extraordinary most of these dishes are made of from just a few sources there’s no way on Earth they can taste individual and I’m going to prove
It you sure you don’t do Botox no no far too good- looking right wrap that on uh we’re going to taste some food and you’re going to tell me what it is okay Tash here we are with first up one of the most expensive dishes on the
Menu King porn cry no no that’s the lobster I had yesterday Tash Lobster let’s see if the rest of the waiting staff can do any better the nation’s favorite chicken Tika Masala one of the most popular dishes on the menu what is it chick my drive no no oh dear you no
No one last try how about the one thing that shouldn’t be anywhere near this restaurant Tash what is that chip chip good girl EX excellent what are we running here Indian restaurant Indian restaurant excellent none of the staff could tell one dish from another you can’t be that mediocre when you’re
Fighting for survival with 18 other restaurants you’re a generous man and it shows to what you sat in front of you can’t play to everybody we we’ve tried to give every customer whatever he whatever he wants tined pineapple and Curry just don’t mix it’s not the average no Chef in the world would
Attempt to cook this and your generous spirit is destroying the ambition of this restaurant raz’s generous spirit is also destroying the ambition of his head waitress it just looks bad that we don’t know what’s coming out from the kitchen how can I be a head waitress
When I don’t even know what’s on my menu That’s the upsetting thing about it if the pick a mix menu has done this to his head waitress what’s it done to the man who has to cook it every night [Applause] Nottingham’s got a growing Asian community and great markets selling
Exotic produce that you’d find on the streets of India K good morning nice to see you here yeah good to see you too this is your local yes this is my local this is where local market inspiration all these shops are on the curry Lounge doorstep but KH rarely
Visits them choosing to order any supplies instead this part can be taken out you can take it out then just s toss it it’s beautiful testy see you seem to come alive in amongst all this Pro of course break this there is hardly any seed yeah it’s great to see KH excited
About Indian food again it’s given me an idea you grew up in which region what was the first sort of big influence that your mother gave you in terms of food taste she used to make the kma which was fantastic but not the K what we make here sweet ones let’s pick
Up some ingredients today sure let’s put the that as a special this evening on the menu and give it some authenticity from absolutely your region okay let’s go and get the L no compromise lovely thank you tonight’s a big night we’re putting on a new dish you can’t get in any
Run-of-the-mill Curry House but before we can hand out the menus there’s something I’ve been dying to do pull all these out no more pick a mix we’re going back to simple authentic yeah Indian Cuisine yeah it’s crucial we tell the front of house team about the special so
They can push it so Kitchen St no why don’t you explain what you’re doing sure we are making the authentic lamb corma today what if a customer wants chicken J fras G it’s not on the menu yeah have you seen how much food’s on there yeah so we’re going to sell something else
The chef has the most doesn’t seem happy but tonight I’m going to prove to him that Nottingham wants authentic dishes instead of dodgy DIY food coils yes let’s go take out the pick of mixes from the menus please that one’s gone SP you smile move cloes green
Cam K special is a medium spice dish from hydrabad and unlike razzy’s pick and mix this Curry will be made from scratch every day the meat is slow cooked on the bone with spices and brown onions and the bone in there as well I quite like the regional aspect with the
Bone inside absolutely you serve it with the bone it makes it look more authentic chili powder turmeric and salt are added along with a garlic and ginger paste then left to cook gently for half an hour gorgeous this is your L thank you that for me yeah is perfect yeah for
Here you know that thank you very much it tastes delicious thank you this dish will get everyone hot for more Fire racer what would you like I’m going to have the tandori bar please tandori bar yes please but an hour into service and not one person’s ordered the lamb cormer what are Raz and his waight is up to I’ve been here before what ERS lovely Kar PRS
Lovely no one’s going for the special no no we didn’t actually hear about we don’t know about special about the special W any special be nice to explain the special okay excuse me two seconds Qui go back to explain special day oh dear if the front house
Team aren’t behind the special then it’s down to just one man Raz anyone would think he’s resisting the changes to tonight’s menu I’m getting slightly agitated that it’s all a little bit too casual so I just need some Drive behind it okay got to drive it not from the
Back seat but from the front seat yes no problem how you doing guys you’re all right did you not go for the special I’m not laughing but if Raz won’t push it I know a man who will you look great you look great great it’s Nottingham not Bollywood
Right fantastic when you cook the bone long hours it gives its own test anyway so the actual test comes out of the meat try my favorite you me too it’s great to see Khan’s passion for the dish that he created he’s like a different Chef at last Khan’s mom’s lamb starts to sell but no thanks to Raz now you see that coming fantastic thank you she said lamb was fantastic good that’s great news but they didn’t complain it wasn’t sweet enough no cuz that’s what they want here in Notting on had lamb Cora which is medium and very very tasty it was very
Nice really enjoyed it I never realized there so many varieties of Cora yeah wonderful that is really good news we’ve already sold out of Khan’s lamb cormer now that means they want that really nice authentic style of cooking as opposed to that sweet mush but what’s piss more than anything is Razzy
Refusing to push the authentic special and still thinks they come here for the [ __ ] pick a mix which is bollocks without a doubt the star of tonight’s show is KH you’re desing for Bollywood you aren’t you you’re too goodl looking to be a chef you look like
Some sort of Bollywood Superstar oh no come on you are pulling my leg from a porn movie oh [ __ ] [ __ ] hell I knew I knew he taking me somewhere man I missed that chance last night I realized the curry Lounge is split down the middle kitchen
Versus front of house before I do any more work on the menu I’ve got to get them all playing for the same team crucial better of Team Bonnie when was the last time you got your team out together haven’t my guys meet on average once a month whether it’s go-karting
Water polo we haven’t been a team yet so we now going to play the locals at their own game and we’re going to whip their ass how are you buddy are you well I’ve arranged for the C Lounge to play the local seek cricket team and I’ve heard their batting average is
High Raz is opening the batting with a difference it’s time the kitchen bold him a few bouncers right Raz okay this yeah is what they call handicap yeah I’m going to do to you okay what you’ve been doing to your staff right and so I want you to experience what they’ve been
Experiencing yeah since they’ve been working with you so onehanded this time ball the fastest ball you’ve ever done move oh [ __ ] damn sorry that’s butter fingers sorry good still here I can’t believe it he still managed to hit the [ __ ] ball [ __ ] [Laughter] H that’ll be a four then great determination yeah great
Batting and great Innings why don’t you like that in the [ __ ] restaurant I wasn’t going to get out no matter what it’s we can’t lose and we can’t lose it’s very competitive and I think the last six balls I’ve I’ve just shown to myself that what I’m trying to do I’m
Determined to do it and I’m not going to fail I think that’s what’s been missing in me for last two 3 months so I’m glad for that one handed or Not come on it’s the first time we’ve all been out together with the kitchen service staff yeah it’s good let’s go for it Harry look at that big white screen down there and think is one of your n breads let’s go hit it head oh [ __ ] one over come
On well played guys well played fantastic effort thank you the cricket was such a success I thought we’d turned a corner but this morning I found out Raz has called a meeting and only invited the front of house star when is this guy ever going to learn he’s been an idiot
And I won’t let him get away with this look at the sneaky little [ __ ] what did I say building so now they’re holding a meeting on their [ __ ] own let’s go yeah Pim yeah I’ve been at the curry lounging Nottingham for 3 days and I thought we
Were making progress but after a great day of team bonding Raz has gone behind my back G yeah Pim yeah hi hello yeah excuse me hello excuse meing huh hold hold hold hold on a minute let’s you’re having a meeting right right 24 hours ago we had a team
Building exercise kitchen and dining room which was fantastic 24 hours later you’re having a meeting on your own we wanted to look at the front of house situation what we were going to do and tomorrow morning we want to sit down with everybody to go
Through what we want to do trust me my team don’t meet without the kitchen the kitchen don’t meet without the restaurant cuz they’re one we’ve got to keep it together yeah that’s right Communications and communication I think nothing can’t be better than when we all sit together check out I may come out
The better idea than you there should be one family we should legs tape our legs up together tomorrow yes if we can do service with that yes that there looks like selling out the pharmaceutical it’s just a what’s the other big circle professional I haven’t got to that yet
Right that’s so frustrating because on the back of the cricket bonding session I thought he’d understood the importance of keeping your team together and if he has understood that now he’s never going to get the [ __ ] message I really put raz’s backup by gate crashing the meeting but I want to
Crack on and create a new menu of regional dishes time for a spot of Tiffin tiffins are Indian lunch boxes and 160,000 of them are delivered every day to office workers all over Mumbai we’re going to do the same here in Nottingham The Secret of this yeah is
Having a little bit of sort of authenticity classic Tiffin box we fill it up vegetable rice stunning chicken curry a nice little bit of n bread for f each yeah if we get six companies on board all ordering between 30 to 50 LUN a day authentic delicious Curry I swear
To God in 2 to 3 months time we could be doing 250 to 300 lunch a day okay fine yeah let’s go the tiffins will contain a light and tasty authentic chicken curry get some color on the onions yes it’s made by frying chopped onions in whole
Spices are we using the thigh the chicken thigh yes then adding chicken with chili cumin and turmeric and lots of fresh coriander if we want to get busy Tuesday Wednesday Thursday for dinner what a way of getting them into the restaurant by offering them a great lunch I agree with
Yeah to go with the chicken there’s coconut infused vegetables and an aromatic basmati rice all topped off with a plain Nan yeah this is ready here we go yes can run the place first with you [ __ ] right yeah that’s a great idea why are you walking around with a filthy work f in your look good effect but looks good second time you stuck up for me I Splash it on myself this
Morning when I brush my teeth hello everybody um just a quick Insight we got a really exciting lunch now the average person here earns between 80 and 100 Grand a year we’re charging we’re charging 5 who would like one got one over there two three four okay Harry work your magic it is
Absolutely delicious any more want change for that fantastic within 5 minutes they’ve all gone how can we sell out so quickly 40 tiffen boxes out of f each that’s 200 quid that should cheer up Raz who who hasn’t got a box oh my Gody hell 12 more please really nice yes
Damn got to tell them that we Runners up I’ll go tell them they probably know out of we go they probably know tomorrow night we’re relaunching the curry lounge with an authentic Regional menu to help me I’m calling in a mate from London Alfred prad is the executive chef

Mhm the new dishes draw the regional cooking skills of the chefs in the kitchen the pesari champan mutton chops marinade in papaya and cream then grilled in the Tandoor are from the north of Pakistan whilst these grilled land kebabs from Hyderabad in Andre pesh and my favorite M mukne from Punjab
Spicy chicken cooked in cream tomatoes with ginger and fny Greek leaves Raz Gordon here’s a little touch of M my favorite yes absolutely delicious why you checking it around like that it’s not [ __ ] frisbee bit of oil in there bit of oil in there hello nice
Tender the new menu is made up from dishes from northern regions of India and Pakistan and with no main courses over 101050 we’re now highly competitive any starter here that you think is not suitable for Notting at the moment no no it has that authenticity yeah yeah you say it in
Front of you why don’t we do this in the first place yeah yeah Mr K you happy with the starters sure yeah anything to say add no this is about getting out of a mediocre position and putting us in something slightly unique yeah yes trust me yes I do
Quality there’s one last thing that has to come off the menu who went out and saw this idea in a restaurant and thought [ __ ] me this is amazing we’re going to stand out most of the restaurants up in the north have them most of the restaurants up north have

Unhappy menu is not complete as far as I’m concerned we are telling on that TV is regional it is Rani that there’s nothing Rani in that we can’t have every region on there this is a face I think I have got right to put my opinion here of
Course you that’s what I was doing I put my opinion we should not say which is not there he is a very senior Chef he’s from the same company from I am I’m just clicked What’s happen you’re jealous cuz he’s a lot younger than you no no no that’s what it
Is thank you that’s what it is look at me yes or no no no no I think that is a factor G I can feel the tension in the air can say my wife and and also this hasn’t just been put together in 3 or 4 days
