Your mouth get out of here but the suns are pulling it apart you don’t listen to anything I want to say you almost want to tell him to shut up one hides behind the bar I do my job everybody’s happy at the bar everything’s good the other is
Drunk with power enough get out of here get out of here and the food they serve this is lethal has sent the locals packing we have to work I mean really dig deep to get these locals back on our side je is not the best cook in the
World he thinks he knows everything whether he does or not if Brian wasn’t my son I had have fired him you got an issue yeah I’m out of here with only one week to turn it around you can move faster yeah let’s go will Gordon be able
To find this family’s pot of gold every day you have to give it your best shot or has the Luck of the Irish run out I don’t see how this is going to work we screwed that’s coming up on Kitchen Nightmares the Hampton is a beautiful
Ghetto way for the rich and famous in the summer but in the winter it’s a quaint Village inhabited by a tight-knit community among the many eateries here is Finn M’s a family restaurant which is unfortunately Dying Gordon Ramsey is here to Breathe new life into it I know it’s winter but God you’d think there’d be somebody around here this place is desolate there’s hardly anybody about a come on you got a lot of craing there he goes I’m the owner of Finn mol’s Family Restaurant and Irish Pub
My love to me I was a police officer I worked for the Southampton Town Police Department I was there over 20 years this should be moved over here a little bit and I retired and I was retired for 12 hours eight of which I slept and then we opened up Finn mol’s Family
Restaurant we are a family I mean that’s what we’re all all about that’s who we wanted to cater to both of my sons work here full-time and Jason he’s uh the bar manager’s everybody’s happy at the bar everything’s good yeah my problems are more my brother I’m going to kick you
Right in the teeth I swear help yeah get out of here what do you need me to do I would definitely not recommend working with family no it’s a pain in the ass you’re an ass I swear to Christ you are I’m very good at what I do I don’t know
If my dad and my brother could survive without me being the kitchen go away now you go away he is an arrogant little bastard I developed the name Chef shortcut for him because he just cuts Corners he’ll deep fry bacon and they come out like Pig’s Tails it’s like
Chewing a bacon ball it’s it’s absurd I’m in charge of the food and I have my name behind it I know what can work and what won’t work he could be pretty cocky at times you’re so full of crap there are times where he’s very disrespectful
All right look at me no I swear I won’t look at you to the point where I I can’t believe the things that he says what do you need it for I can throw it at you Brian Jason uh buttthe heads a lot it comes pretty
Close to blows or what well tell him to stay the [ __ ] out of the kitchen Jason you know tries to talk to him Brian’s all his ears closed down no no you don’t know what you’re talking about whatever grow off this isn’t Nursery School I don’t really give a [ __ ] about their
Feelings it would be great to have somebody of Chef Ramsey’s caliber come in and show Brian that he’s not right I don’t need help cooking before I would just leave the kitchen and let him go on his way but the business is it’s floundering there’s no way of anybody
Knowing that it was a restaurant you know we put signs in the windows and things of that nature but uh still haven’t gotten a sign out front I mean we just don’t have any money buddy is in debt somewhere in the hundreds of thousands my father’s invested
Everything he has into this business his whole life as a cop and and retirement and pension and this and that it’s gone I absolutely worry about Buddy’s Health I worry a lot about his health it’s not my boat and I don’t want to go down with it I don’t understand why he thinks he can be the way he is if it doesn’t work he it scares me to think how much not only does he lose how much
Everybody loses we need this for our families I’m worrying every night going to bed are you going to be able to pay this mortgage and try to just barely scrape by and make it happen I can’t describe to you how stressful that is I Can’t here I’m at funeral calls to help a family that are in crisis and uh bloody hir it looks like a funeral parlor from the outside not a restaurant go it’s a Grim hello Hi how are you buddy maso good to see you my first impressions of Chef ramsy were that he’s an intense man I didn’t know if he was going to be some kind of a bastard or an eagle man or something like that it’s my son Jason
Jason nice to see you nice to meet you good hello this is Carol Carol nice to see you my first impression of Gordon I think he’s adorable I would love to get my hands on Gordon this is my daughter-in-law Melissa Melissa Jason’s wife my son
Brian Chef how are you are you well the first time I saw him when he came in I was definitely a little skeptical I do my own thing back here and I’m very content with that so let’s start with Carol what’s the problem we have problems with staff uhhuh we have problems with
Brian okay he’s a a bit arrogant and a lot of arrogant because I I say what needs to be said and you people don’t want to hear it too bad that’s not true we’re here to make money yeah and if you’re not going to do your job get out
I’m sorry Brian but it does it stems from him because he won’t listen to Buddy an example like Valentine’s Day I wanted him to do a nice Valentine’s Day menu he didn’t see the need for it cuz we’re an Irish Pub he didn’t think anybody come in for an Irish Pub for
Valentine’s Day about it it’s half years it’s the night before Valentine’s Day and they saying we want to do a was it’s not true was before talking about two weeks before talking about week before no no no no but it’s too late for me to but it’s your
Responsibility to have come up with it weeks before cuz you are the head chef we don’t every time come oh boy right now I’m hungry I want to taste the food and let’s meet after shall we I was pretty nervous I wonder what he’s going to see I wonder if we’re
Going to get really blasted you know there’s our lunch menu thank you I’m like I’m about to serve Chef Ramsey like this is so cool the clams are they fresh clams um honestly there it’s frozen I’ll start with the uh Finn’s spring roll please good choice thank you

Right it goes on for generations and here doesn’t feel like a family run business at all pubs are full of atmosphere fun it’s got Tweed neck curtains like you’re going to visit your granny weird here you are spring rolls with Coleman’s mustard well Go it’s a very strange bizarre looking spring Roll are they popular on the menu um people really like them no doubt half the customers are drunk this is the tough half hour of my life not a big hit you like it no Brian’s in the kitchen like wondering I’m just like NOP are you kidding me he
Really thought that I was going to walk back there and be like he loved it you know he he wants you to come work for him come on let try that one let me get you some clean silverware thank you go and what’s his stuff with please uh Melissa on top
Is a balsamic reduction he likes to use that a lot he KN that doesn’t he yes he does he on everything he puts a little drizzle on a little thank you you’re welcome always the sign of a very insecure Chef when he massat everything in b m vegar look at
This horrible doesn’t taste of salmon at all off through does my Che do probably have any B vinegar no good lovely I don’t even think he likes the water he said um will my shepherd’s pie have any balsamic vinegar on it I said I
Can assure you it will not do I do I dare I don’t like to come off conceited or cocky I’m very good at what I do I know the back of the house very well I’ve done everything that’s out there let’s try that one enjoy thank you you’re
Welcome it’s just a big bowl of Grease Just very very Greasy oh God that’s disgusting it second door left oh no my God something made it made him sick I don’t know if he went in the bathroom and threw up but he ran in he ran into the bathroom oh my God coming up Gordon digs up the dirt on
Brian disaster and lets him know what he thinks of his food you need to seriously take a grip of your business but Brian doesn’t want to hear it he almost want to tell him to shut up get out of here Telly get out of here you talking take
It then and Buddy wants to take down his son you got an issue if Brian wasn’t my son I’d have fired and if things weren’t bad enough I worry about Buddy’s Health that’s coming up on Kitchen Nightmares after suffering through the best Finn mul’s has to offer it’s time for Gordon to have a little chat with the chef clearly we’ve got issues when a chef comes make a [ __ ] shepherd’s pie it worries me my shepherd pie was taught
To me by you know somebody who learned it from somebody who went to Ireland you know it’s an American Irish pie tasted like cough mixture and then the salmon what on Earth was going on there the salmon dish that I put out to him always had rave
Reviews from everybody that’s had it you could eat in tuna from a can it was that overcooked was that you at your best it was me doing what I do was I cook for you would imagine the way that I would have cooked for somebody that would come
In tomorrow night that I don’t know every day you have to give it your best shot he has no idea what he’s talking about so whatever he has to tell me I don’t really Care for a restaurant to survive in the Hamptons it not only needs the vacation business in the summer but a loyal local following all year round especially in the winter I’m at the fire department what better place actually find out what is Vin M’s really about morning guys how are you hi sir
How are you good to see you are you well I’m Rick Schultz I’m the chief here how are you nice to see you very well inde D thank you welcome to the neighborhood yeah very happy to be here tell me about FMA Calls uh a lot of fried food really yeah fried food a lot of maybe a little too much on a fried food what I’d like you to do um if you could come back and come and have dinner there as my guess um these guys here have got the fingers
On the pulse in the community and you’ve got to look after the locals what better locals to keep on your side the fireman piss them off you’ve pissed the whole town Off after inviting the firemen to dinner Gordon decides to do a quick investigation of the kitchen this shelf when was the last time somebody actually wiped it down you eat that canas jokes this is lethal what what what what is that so God knows how old was the shepherd’s pie that I had
Lunchtime please tell me people do not eat That cooked chicken wings raw food against cooked food what on Earth what is that oh oh for God’s sake kitchen nightmare this is a kitchen [Applause] disaster there is one clean thing in Here disappointed by the state of the kitchen Gordon is questioning the family’s commitment to their restaurant okay I went through the fridges and I was pretty disgusted Brian you need to seriously pay a lot more respect to what you’re doing and the first thing we going to do this morning whether we like
It or not yeah all of us is we’re going to clean I was a little offended I always consider myself to have a pretty clean kitchen me you and you we’re going to clean the kitchen yeah everywhere yes it pissed me off I don’t dirty that
Kitchen I don’t cook in that kitchen so I don’t want to go into his kitchen and clean it all out off soaked and we get all these changed and then quite frankly I thought we were pretty clean clean it was uh it was frustrating and uh definitely embarrassing but uh even
Sher FR he had some gloves on he was cleaning I think that was more impressive than anything to see him being as hands on as he was guys underneath there spotless what a Difference the kitchen has been cleaned just in time for dinner if only there were some customers when we’re struggling like we are now it’ll drive you crazy why don’t more locals you know come maybe they’ve come here and had a bad experience and didn’t want to come back thankfully the local firemen have
Decided to take Gordon up on his invitation good to see how are you good to see you it’s now crucial that Chef Brian take advantage of this opportunity to impress the local firemen I’m going to try the hot corn beef sandwich I’ll have the salmon order in what is that nachos nachos P
Me when was the last time we got fresh vegetables in the house last summer last summer now I just cringe when I see then that’s all I developed the name Chef shortcut for him because he just cuts Corners what they Bri big clam casserole did you buy the clam it’s frozen you
Can’t get fresh clams yes I can I have a big problem with Gordon hanging over me watching every step when I’m doing something leave me alone and let me do it 45 minutes into dinner service and the firemen are still waiting for their food 75% of the time I go back into the
Kitchen my brother’s on a cell phone I say how are you cooking you’re not even looking at what you’re doing how could you possibly be cooking and doing this when you’re sitting there chatting on your cell phone when the firemen finally do get served dry they’re not impressed
Oh thank you is there something wrong is that hard enough uh Brian 2 seconds please so guys this is Brian the chef yes have any of you met no these guys are your locals start up with your pie pleas please that was it it wasn’t warm enough The Flounder was frozen wasn’t very
Flaky since it was an Irish place I went with the hot corn beef sandwich but it seemed to be very dry he’s a volunteer fireman I do this for a living and for somebody to critique me who doesn’t even really do it for a living you know you
Don’t want to tell him to shut up thank you okay cheers you can bet your butt they won’t be coming back so I was just like I don’t see how this is going to work after feeling the heat of the firemen Brian and suf Francis get back to work
Under the watchful eye of Gordon who can’t believe what he [Applause] Sees Francis Francis Francis Francis [ __ ] me death as a [ __ ] bat Darice he took it off the floor put it in the fryer and then back in the sauce Yeah well the fryer is going to uh is going to take anything that come off the floor is only but it fell on the floor yeah you put it back in the fryer right in the fryer and that cleans it it clean it sterilize sterilized it [ __ ] me sterilized It with that dro the wing on the floor Pi all stuck B in the FR again we’re trying to keep everything consistent but something’s get messed up every now and then what the [ __ ] were you thinking oh my god I’ve never ever ever seen anything quite extraordinary as
That he serves food off the floor and serves to the customer oh my God [Applause] No still to come if Brian wasn’t my son I’d have fired him get out of here a Family Feud sends Brian over the edge would you care to take care his ticket then I’m out of here coming up on Kitchen Nightmares it’s day three and knowing
Full well that Finn M’s is the lifeblood of the Mao family Gordon is about to find out how desperate the business really is if there was no significant Improvement how long could you afford to stay open for we’re in we’re in trouble right now you know we’re probably I
Would say $5,000 a week or $4,000 a week under what we need to survive under yeah so 20 grand a month yeah just recently took a little personal loan from a friend and I pay him back you know that kind of thing just to get us through this Dreadful
Period here you know I don’t sleep well own people money you it’s not it’s not what I do I haven’t taken a check yet you haven’t paid yourself yet on the business I get my checks in the safe got a stack of them have a quick look are
The boys get paid buddy yeah everybody else does but these are and you can’t you can’t catch them no I’ve never lost anything I’ve always been relatively successful Buddy’s basically put everything into this place by this place not doing as good as he dreamed is is just breaking him um difficult having
Two sons in the business do they know the situation you’re in I think Jason understands more Brian’s out on an island a little bit um if Brian wasn’t my son I’d have fired ready yeah if this doesn’t work and it does close what will the boys do this is this
Is one you know our entire family lives their lives out I I I can feel it you know my sons eat their dinner because of fin mols you know their houses are warm because of fin mols and to think that we would close it would be Catastrophic with a full understanding of the financial picture Gordon turns his attention to the food beginning with teaching Brian how to make a proper shepherd’s pie right give me the large tray uh that we put in the fridge to set and we’ll put the potatoes on there put
It in the oven for 5 minutes to have them come to your place and show you what you should be doing the right way put some cheese on there Grill it and then get them to taste it okay yeah to be honest with you it made me laugh a
Little drain off that fat that’s what I got upset with you on the other day that uh me add that into the mince into the bowl to think that we are fortunate enough to be schooled by a man like Chef Ramsey boy you’d be a fool not to uh not to jump on
This let’s go in the dining room show it okay so I just want you to have a little Taste of fal’s shepherd’s pie yes rich brown beef M mhm M this is good ours originally certainly had more much more of a brown sauce to it and it was fatty
Mhm then Gordon brought out Brian’s old shepherd’s pie to compare this is bit before and after that’s horrible look at that I thought our shepherd’s pie was halfway decent it wasn’t it was terrible our new shepherd’s pie it’s fantastic this is very very good I come out
Looking like the [ __ ] of the family was uh tremendously pissed off after being humiliated Brian goes to the bar hey cheers guys good to see you guys thanks for coming out impress with that got take it easy today take it easy people see Brian has
Taken advantage of me all his life if he wasn’t my son I’d have fired his ass out of here I know your buddies are outside but I don’t expect you to be running back and forth every time to go talk to your seriously okay I’m serious all
Right I’m not kidding I said all right enough you’re lost get out of here let me do my job stay back here and do your job chill out nobody wants to get yelled at they’re not doing their job properly I’m not going to stick around for it why are
You standing right there I definitely once again felt like a little kid getting yelled that I’m I’m [ __ ] standing right here I’m doing what I got to do watch your mouth watch your mouth get out of here would you care to take care of this ticket then I didn’t even
Want to be here anymore uh I don’t know if I want to be in the kitchen anymore never mind here [ __ ] off you I’m done working here that was horrible he’s stubborn as a mule you know he’s just absolutely stubborn he just Disappears Brian’s departure has left the restaurant without a chef and Buddy is forced to run the kitchen spring rolls spring roll soup soup thank you what’s that there cob salad good so you’re away with that you you’ve done that before I’m thinking Jesus Christ look at me I know what the hell I’m
Doing back here what is this uh fascinating isn’t it I’m glad you find that difficult to read There was eight tickets on the board I didn’t even know what tickets were up buddy buddy buddy buddy I have to take some at my man it looks like a crck of [ __ ] I know start
Again buddy you happy with that bacon there like that looks [ __ ] looks like [ __ ] come on Big Boy standards that’s better service please it top to the bun what sorry top to the bun top to the bun we only sent half a vow there was no bun on that
Let’s put it on straight away we’ll argue after buddy veggies please and Fries is that other shepher 5 for six coming for them but for [ __ ] sake budddy can’t even find a [ __ ] doily let alone cook a flounder sweating dripping now smashing plates his own plates no wonder Brian’s a cranky [ __ ] it’s day four and Brian’s loyalty to his family brings him back to work you get a renewed respect for what Brian has to go through it’s a tough job it’s tough and a mozzarella stick going I gained a lot more respect for my brother
And all these times that I’m hard on on him and I get angry at him and and we fight about stuff and I couldn’t do what he does with a new appreciation for Brian Gordon decides to spend some one-on-one time with him I knew you were an angry Chef
Frustrated pissed off with your dad I didn’t know what you had on your shoulders before I walked in here there’s parts of me that feel for you in a way that I I started to understand what’s on your shoulders when you get pissed and frustrated who’ you talk to
Who who’ you open up to not going to R to my little one have you thought about quitting and and setting up elsewhere constantly yeah I can’t tell you how important your role is enough I’ve probably faded out a little bit in stepping up my game and to where it used
To be so I I I might have lost some of the passion which is which is sad to say that because I didn’t think that but now it’s kind of open my eyes a little bit about that you got to handle it a different way in a way that you become
The responsible one and [ __ ] Focus if you got the security of your food and you make this place Rock I promise you that’s going to give you stability to run this business for the next 20 years okay thank you good man Chef Ramsey definitely kicked me in the
Ass and got me excited to do what I’m doing while Gordon has been dealing with the family’s issues his design team has been sprucing up the restaurant in anticipation of the relaunch oh my gosh you walked in and you felt like you were in your home it
Was it was so comfortable it’s bigger huh holy Moses oh look at the booths gosh warmer yeah wow I’m in shock I’m never to Lost for Words you know this is overwhelming gorgeous for buddy this was his big dream it was very cool seeing that just look on his face when we
Walked in there wow I’m happy we’ve been given a gift now it’s our job to make this work and we certainly will it’s beautiful holy Moses this is so exciting I Che asked us to hang outside for a little bit something you’ve always always wanted never had welcome to Finn M calls

Into words how much that means to me and and the rest of my family buddy happy with the color holy Moses look at it it was very emotional we were all getting teary eyed and the four of us were just in awe at least when you drive by now you
Know what it is amen I’m thankful as an owner of a restaurant but I’m also thankful as a to di although Finn M’s has a new sign and a new look it’s the food that brings in the customers so the first thing I did was got rid of two-third of the menu
Because a you know the majority it was frozen B it wasn’t fresh what’s the point in having it on there whatever comes out of here has my name on it and I don’t want to mess this up you’ve got to move with the seasons get rid of the
Dark heavy sauces and line up a little bit Gordon’s new menu of contemporary pub food includes the gness pub burger and Gordon’s own family recipe for shepherd’s pie and then the Fan’s Chicken Chef Ramsey dumped the fry Foods they’re gone and to give the restaurant a new energy and to take some pressure

They’re a little overcrowded for the fire Cod you know what I mean every plate is important tonight every oyster every plate every customer yes be really careful cuz this is extremely hot it was uh it was frustrating for sure and uh definitely embarrassing pretty much a three- ring circus broke

With chocolate sauce I mean are you mad there’s no meat on the lamb you going to blame me for no meat on the lamb that’s just what we buy here and that’s what we serve Ricky it’s on the menu at $27 nobody else complained about it well
There’s no one else in the restaurant was bitching about the chocolate mint sauce on the lamb people like that believe it or not they come in here and order it all the time so I’m not going to pull it from my menu just because he
Don’t like it what was fresh on the menu as far as not being frozen as far as not being frozen not being bought in everything has to be frozen we just can’t let stuff go bad you know have you got any Bulls got big nuts just cuz you
Come here and criticize my place you think I’m going to give up nah who’s balls I think are bigger his or mine put it like this we we going to bump heads I’m standing in front of a man that I feel that’s got his name on his jacket
All the big Showbiz embroidery and yet we’re serving frozen vegetables as a chef don’t you feel embarrassed about what you’re serving no I don’t otherwise I wouldn’t serve it are you lazy taking that [ __ ] off from Nobody after yesterday’s Fiasco at lunch day two begins with Gordon inspecting executive chef Ricky’s kitchen God a fridge that’s not even cold this is not a refrigeration unit this is almost like an oven all this meat is is virtually rotting dried warm congealed blood at the bottom there the
Smell is just vile what is that God what the smell Jesus Christ I’m slowly but surely discovering my lunge the bought in tomato basil soup that’s finished with chili flakes there’s nothing freshly made in this fridge [ __ ] it now Christ it [ __ ] stinks the lack of cleanliness represents a lack of discipline and
Gordon knows he needs to send a strong message to the staff we got to clean Ricky I want the fridge w scrubbed the floor done yeah bucket’s behind you yeah taba take care of the dining room Gordon had us clean the dining room freaking sweep like three times mop do all the
Windows everything with a concern that fine dining might not be right for this part of pona while the staff cleans Gordon hits the streets to check out the neighborhood how are you I’m real good good good good what’s the vibe like here amona it’s young vibrant diverse what
About leelas the rest leas have you been there I have not been there what kind of food you eat the pizza giant right here what about fine dining usually not too fancy kind of on a budget no you keep the fancy stuff for your arms right yeah
And where would you go out to weed there’s like some pretty good Mexican restaurants but like besides that there isn’t really anywhere that’s like in our price range with a better sense of what will work in this community Gordon heads back to Leela’s to check on the staff’s
Assignment nice nice nice nice nice looks fantastic oh wow wow wow yes clean while Gordon is now happy with the cleanliness of the restaurant he is still not comfortable with the relaxed atmosphere that’s not what your sister told me last night you did get you this is kind of like home you know
Just kind of hang out talk to everybody on the Phone I just Lounge I just shoved a big old muffin in my mouth d we have fun while we’re in here I mean what’s the use of having a job that you’re not happy with we haven’t met yet have we uh no I’m Bo eating everything that’s right like
To stand in the kitchen and eat you know you always catch him with something in his hand I think you got a tape room the evening started out slowly but a local theater has let out and a wave of customers has now arrived at the restaurant go and follow me and I’ll go
Ahead and seat You all right Ricky where’s my salmon that’s supposed to be split don’t be in such a [ __ ] hurry to do [ __ ] holy smoke it quickly becomes obvious to Gordon that this restaurant does not have a leader just two major opponents Ricky in the kitchen and Tabitha in the front of the house salmon
And a sea bass split no sea bass huh no sea bass [ __ ] man how come you didn’t tell me that when you seen the ticket cuz I didn’t see the ticket I’m like really frustrated with Ricky um us not having everything they sitting there for 15 20 minutes when their food
Should be coming out any minute I just found out that we have no seab bass oh for God’s sake is that what we both ordered yeah Ricky doesn’t have many of the food items that are on the menu and what they do have is prepackaged and overpriced for the town
Of Pomona I just tasted this it tastes like powdered mashed potato they are they they taste all right you put a little butter in them whatever put the sauce over them they taste okay nobody’s ever complained about them I didn’t even know that he was using instant potatoes I think Ricky’s a little
Lazy holy mackerel yeah is out a day that yeah look at the day February 16th what’s the day today do not serve that [ __ ] cake end the [ __ ] story yes okay then in a dinner service that’s not exactly smooth sailing some of the staff start abandoning ship car I’m going home
We’re still busy here why not the rush is overwind are you finished or no I’m just taking a break right quick where um where’s buzzer they all gone he’s walking down the alley right now with his bag of goodies that’s the buzzer though you know it’s he’s always waiting
To grab something with his damn claws buzzard and one of the cooks have walked off but they are not empty-handed man a heart attack and what have you got in there got a sandwich from earlier um some pasta that somebody ordered and didn’t want Jesus lemon
There as well yeah okay I know nothing about it did you want ask anyone for it no you need to go talk to her and let her know have no problem with in the trash we’ll go together we wonder why there’s things missing after he’s gone this is Buzzard’s little little picnic nice
Little sandwich there ham cheese mustard oh nice big salad and main course we’re going to tackle some New Zealand land now where that came from stop laughing here we are with the restaurant that’s financially [ __ ] screwed and you’re just helping yourself to wine and a four course dinner he takes little things
Every now and then but I haven’t seen him do something like that in a while this lady own Buzzard unbelievable Gordon caught Buzzard taking food and wine from the restaurant and Gordon is not happy argue with you I’m not okay know own unbelievable we were thinking that
He was doing that but I hadn’t caught him in the act and today well there it Is Christ almighty guys what are we doing here just that Basics isn’t even together as a team I can’t take responsibility for for the whole restaurant failing it’s you know this is the team effort here why did you become a chef because I have a a passion for
Food that’s why a passion for what food you’re making powdered mashed potato you talk about the mashed potatoes I didn’t hear not one person complain about them tonight did you what did you when Ricky and Gordon were going at it I really wanted to just like tell Ricky to shut
Up where’s your respect what do you mean where’s my respect for your professionalism you are not an executive chef let’s get that right don’t look at me like that you back a dog into a corner eventually you know I’m saying he’s going to bite you know I’d rather
Change my career than make it out of powdered Mash anything you’d like to say before we go home I just hope everybody’s attitude changes tomorrow so we can turn this restaurant around if you still have attitudes then um there’s going to have to be some [Applause] changes it’s day three and Gordon is about to put his plan into action but one of last night’s problems has returned Buzzard’s here where is he in the back I hate to have to fire anybody but then you get to the point where you know
If I can’t get them to change what they’re doing or whatever then I have to get rid of them can I see your eyes can take your glasses off buzzer anything that’s inside this restaurant belongs to Leela yeah yeah end the story nothing gets taken off this
Premises if it was up to me I’d fire Buzzard’s ass I get lots of people stealing from me and I just have one discipline anyone steals from me is out end the story because the message you send they will see you doing it they all do it anyway Lea you’re the one who
Going to make the decision it’s your question yeah so you know I’m sorry but this is going to be it all right this is It Buzzard ain’t going to be back here he ain’t going to be buzzing around here and he’s truly a buzzard let me get my bag and my bang okay now that Buzzard has been let go Gordon turns his attention back to the chefs okay Ricky let’s go oh
Boy okay little taste test yeah last night for me there wasn’t enough tasting going on there wasn’t enough identification so I’m going to pass you and little a bit of food and I want you to taste it okay and then I’m going to ask you what it is okay are you ready
Yes yeah good I I didn’t know what to expect when he blindfolded us for the most part I do taste my food okay good so one of my favorite Meats Ricky what was that it was beef Lex tastes like chicken you’re right Ricky you’re wrong that was
Chicken what how you going to mistake chicken for beef that just blew me out of the Water Ricky what was that I said it was pork pork Lex what was that tastes like New York Beef yep Lex is New York strip Jesus we already knew that Lex was going to get Mor because Ricky doesn’t taste his food did you brush your teeth this morning holy mackerel right blindfolds
Off I expected you to get all of these right and you didn’t out of both of you who is the better cook I’m the better cook looking at him well we certainly proved it on the taste test thank you I am the better Chef definitely you know
Without having to think about it Ricky you happy with that no not necessarily Le Sand’s a better Chef than me I know where my skills are at I know what I can do I know what I do in here on a daily basis you know I think we should have a
Switch round yes Leela I just found you a new head chef don’t expect you to just bark at me and not expect me to say nothing back cuz that that [ __ ] ain’t going to happen I don’t want to hear [ __ ] from you coming up at Leela’s grand reopening
Service gets derailed it’s like a train rre it’s not only the front of the house with f don’t blame that [ __ ] on us and when one Chef can’t stand the heat he gets out of the kitchen what the hell am I doing here well if you can’t handle it

You armed with Leela’s new hamburgers a catering truck and enthusiasm Gordon and the staff hit the streets to promote the restaurant can I interest you in a free Burger sure sure I love a free burger what about you think they the word will get out on the street that we have a

It’s like why didn’t we think of that you know it’s in keeping with Downtown Pomona oh my God look at our station I think that Gordon did the right thing for our restaurant just more positive energy from all of us it’s 1 hour before the opening and Gordon has
Mainstreamed the menu gone are the fine dining efforts like chocolate lamb chops and Soggy chicken nachos and in their place are popular Fair like Leela’s Famous Burgers and the new Pomona salad all that’s left to do is get the Personnel in order we need a leader we
Need a manager and we need to install some form of discipline Tabitha manage the place yeah it means a lot to me that Gordon went with the whole idea of me becoming manager that just shows me that she knows that I can do it Lex can I have
You running the kitchen tonight it’s like it’s the biggest compliment I’ve had all my life so far Ricky support it properly yes I don’t think it’s fair I’ve been here since day one busted my butt you know what I mean let’s get some identity and work together as a team I’d
Rather have somebody like Lex who’s passionate about what he does I really don’t think that Ricky’s attitude will change this restaurant needs to turn tables tonight to stay open tomorrow it’s relaunch night and Gordon has invited local artists students and car clubs to experience the new leelas
And now regardless of the rain the restaurant is packed open the new leelas let’s go all right good luck guys yes yes yes going to need it let’s go good evening how are you just open the doors right now man we got a house full of people man when I looked outside

Stage fright has set in where’s the tickets for the chef Lex where’s the ticket going for the Tom B souit it’s already been taken [ __ ] hell about like 20 minutes I think closer to 30 30 minutes into service and lelis is off to a rocky start where’s
The first ticket at Le no food has left the kitchen and this grand reopening is off course hey guys we’re falling behind we’ve got to ramp up a little bit yeah yeah what’s going next is that the Pomona salad there needs chicken where’s the chicken oh come on guys listen Lex yes
Work together and send one table at a time okay there’s a lot of pressure working in a kitchen so I thought we were going to go screwed it all up if this doesn’t work I don’t know what’s going to work to be honest the worst thing that can happen probably Lex run
In the Kitchen tonight it’s starting to become clear now I don’t think any of them are used to being busy so that’s why they’re so far in the [ __ ] and the Chino sandwich and when food finally does come out of the kitchen not everyone at the table is getting their
Food at the same time so I’ll just eat this and come on Ricky not tonight come on don’t panic I’m just trying to say send it at the same [ __ ] time that’s all yeah bacon into first right the bacon is not even [ __ ] you know it’s stone cold it’s
Not even crispy we got we at least put it back on the grill for 30 seconds come on guys [ __ ] meltdown we haven’t had any food yet you had any food what order four times already seems to be taking a little too long to get our salad I’m irritated I’m
