bust just what I put my whole life into and everything I have ever earned my whole life is in this place honestly if I was out I’d come here and [ __ ] fire all of us Allan’s lazy crazy chefs are taking advantage of him C in the egg [ __ ] a [ __ ] day the restaurant is sinking but Alan’s too soft to save it now we’re in choppy Waters Alan’s in denial about the whole mess there’s no reasoning with you is there at times like this I think you deserve to sink he ain’t God he’s Gordon Ramsey a successful businessman screw him [Music] I’ve arrived early to surprise a fancy Oyster Bar in Brighton’s Bohemian cemp Town District my challenge is called Ruby Tates it’s in a camp alternative area where most people read the guardian they like eating out but they do so with a conscience but they’re taking it a bit too far with their pretty boy e taxes rumor has it that I am a bit of a gay icon yeah featured in the top 10 last year and uh yeah bit of a worry every year we’re going up this is the perfect area to set up a restaurant it’s got a really nice social Buzz about it they’re not short of money round here this is almost like sort of Soho on the sea oh dear oh dear can’t exactly jump the lights of this [ __ ] wi can you former star of stage and Screen Anan love opened upmarket seafood restaurant Ruby takes a year ago he thought he’d spotted a gap in the market for fancy dining it’s a different atmosphere totally different atmosphere than an all restaurant people don’t just come to eat they come for the dining experience Allan serves up expensive Seafood to cemp town trouble is no one wants it and he’s losing a grand and a half a week I think fish is a way forward the oysters and fish it’s something that’s going to be bigger in in the in the very near future not the distant future undeterred by his huge losses Alan thinks he’s got it right and spends his time dreaming of his great starring roles L of West End shows cats Gods spell this is my stage now you know this is where this is where I get up and perform one door open you know I call it the Alan love show but it’s kind of isn’t the Allan love show it’s it’s it’s just me if people are laughing I don’t care what they laugh with me or at me long as they laugh while Alan dreams of his past he ignores the kitchen leaving It All To His Two Chefs first there’s laid-back Aussie traveler Jamie but there’s no sort of passion there there’s no [ __ ] motivation to [ __ ] come to work you know I’ll be honest with you I’m just doing it for the [ __ ] for the mola man but there’s also volatile fiery Frenchman Alex who can’t control his temper thank you you go out you go out please please you go out you are please you go out thank you very much you don’t come back in kitchen I don’t care what people of me you know the only people I care is like my [ __ ] parents and my girlfriends right everything’s great apart from fcking but everything isn’t great Allan’s about to go bust and he’s in denial about it the genius of the people in the world that are geniuses they surround themselves with genius that’s their genius andreid Weber is one example I’m the nice guy he’s a and what I try and do in the kitchen is have the best I can afford to have honestly if I was Al I’d come here and [ __ ] fire all of us but he doesn’t man he’s paying us to [ __ ] he knows we sit on our ass they’re not expecting me at Ruby Tes till this evening right I really want to catch this restaurant napping I’m going to jump in there now and join a table for lunch and see what they serve normal customers without them knowing that I’m coming for the first time I’ve secretly asked a couple of Foodies to go undercover and order for me I don’t want the chefs making a special effort on my behalf I want to eat what gets served every day it’s not five star it’s not even three star but at the end it’s not [ __ ] 25 quit how are you good to see called the early train the early train how are you welc to man yeah you [ __ ] got us my dining companions have ordered a plateau of Freedom a usually serve cold that’s the strangest plate Freedom I’ve ever seen in my entire life where’s the ice it’s actually hot man uh it’s warm yeah come on that’s the first you think for 55 quid they take the [ __ ] sack out the lobster wouldn’t you nothing worse than a gritty Lobster never do how was your um how was your oyster interesting I don’t bu see those though this expensive Seafood just goes stale as no one’s buying it smells it looks like someone’s put a dog stick in the [ __ ] oy PO is Jesus Christ wh to him holy [ __ ] is that normal like that yes me that’s just like a little rubber elastic band it’s like eating the inside of a golf ball and was what he say he doesn’t like says that’s like a golf ball and that I think he said it was bitter bitter yeah look can you put that in bin please serving old poorly cooked seafood is dangerous whoever’s the head chef shouldn’t allow it are serious man can get that [ __ ] camera out of my face dude seriously just for 30 seconds here you can tell now everything is [ __ ] but we don’t need Garden for tell us that we know that from the start it’s [ __ ] lemon and C Berry sauce but you’re the menu is far too expensive for the area and as for the artwork would you like the dessert or somebody sick on the walls no the artwork is by a local artist there’s a pair of knickers on the wall there on that but is that legit that is a pair of encrusted knickers it is it’s um and it’s part of the artwork as well yeah why not next up seab bass served on a bed of shizo that’s definitely farmed Farm seab Bass from Greece and 100 m from the beach almost like the chef’s given up bored and fallowing Out of Love with fish really if it’s not available locally caught then take it off the menu yeah satisfy meal disgusting total cost 175 quid sir good to see you good to see you how’s your meal yeah interesting and different is he is he P it’s obvious while people aren’t coming bad food at ripoff prices with turn of been so dire mhm how long can it continue to stay open can you get through the summer no I mean I just borrowed another 30 grand but that’s the end of it I’ve got no more so if that goes it’s [Music] over don’t get upset hey it’s good to meet you don’t get upset hey get some fresh air I can see it in your face I can see how [ __ ] painful it is well it’s just you get it’s the end the end of the boat and and when there’s no more I didn’t realize things were that fragile I’m sorry yes no it’s not fragile it’s just you know sometimes you just something hits the nerve and and and unfortunately this hits the nerve because because you know I try not to look at it I try to think about it but it’s still trying to find the money to pay the loans you know [ __ ] and I’m very proud of what I’ve done and it’s probably not right maybe I’m full of crap but it’s but it’s just what I put my whole life into and everything I have ever earned my whole life is in this place destroy Allen’s right on the edge I’m going to confront the head chef who’s responsible for this mess gentlemen Mr R would like to say hello this is Jamie Jamie you how buddy you are you from where Australia Australia to see Isaac Isaac how are buddy and Alex nice to meet you Alex from France from France wait and chef chef not head chef just a chef chef chef so you must be the head chef no no I’m same as jamy we walk together the team always together you have no Chef in his kitchen right so who takes charge I’m just trying to figure out the uh the kitchen what the menu or the kitchen both [ __ ] me no one really look honestly man look we just get the sort of get the job done we’re in the ship my friend and your attitude stinks why are you here then just to get a bit of money and travel on I’m moving on I’m not here to be a hero I’m not asking you to be a hero I’m just asking you to find some form of passion let me talk to you about lunch the platter of Freedom Air was [ __ ] hideous how the [ __ ] can I sit in the restaurant Beach 100 meters in front of me and eat a farm sea bass from Greece that should be in a [ __ ] Chinese restaurant in the middle of Soho yeah cuz it’s hard to get fish in Brighton what yeah I know he’s wrong I know he’s wrong like close to the Sea it’s supposed to have like 20 fisherman on the [ __ ] sea front there’s no fresh fish in [ __ ] Brighton where what shop where we can buy them what shop like fish supplier what about the fish market Alex you’re 32 years of age yeah yeah you speak [ __ ] good English yeah yeah and your attitude stinks why is she stinks then H you turn don’t judge me like that you know because he start to pisses me off now have you given up yeah I told you yeah I given up for that because I’m not interested enough by what I do every day so why don’t you [ __ ] off back to France just about all the customers go out and say it’s great what can I tell you you know in their defense you know not my defense but I can’t believe my ears Allan denies there’s anything wrong with the food this guy’s lost touch with reality how long can you both continue taking the piss out of him that guy bursts into tears in the bar I don’t know if you realize how fragile he is right now yeah he looks like a guy’s about to [ __ ] off on bright and pier and jump off the end sentimental old actor Adan Love’s post seed food restaurant is about to fold and he’s harboring a dark secret one would think that if you open a seafood restaurant you’d actually like to eat seafood I have a bit of an aversion of fish here just because I had a bone in my throat appeared and three days and I couldn’t and I had a real problem with it and and if I get a bone I get physically sick how old are you when you got the bone stuck in your throat probably about five five how old are you now 60 60 it’s been a while it’s absurd how can Alan judge his menu if he doesn’t even eat it but what else is wrong I want to know what the locals think you know call Trendy de if I said to you the word Ruby Tes what does it mean Ruby Tes sort of Curry thing I suppose Ruby Tes what does it mean something to do with potatoes why have you been in the decor pretend just with no substance perhaps what do you think the decor bit I soit but yeah it just looks a bit wanky what do you look for in a seafood restaurant here um fish and [Music] chips Allan’s Pony Restaurant offers very expensive badly cooked seafood stupid Decor meanless name and what the people of Brighton want is good locally caught fish cooked simply Farm sea bass and a hot platter of Freedom Air will not get the punters back into Ruby takes that’s for sure the slacker chefs are paid well to cook dross I need to investigate what they’re doing wrong expensive Lobster will only attract Niche customers and they won’t come back if it’s badly cooked uh madam what did you have I had post po which is TE is it tough yes it’s tough yeah laborless you I’m going to get to the bottom of why this Lobster tastes so tough Jesus how come they’re all cooked uh you don’t cook these to order uh no they cook them before they just blunch in water for like 4 minutes that’s it really they look like they’ve been cooked for a lot longer than 4 minutes there’s so much money here but why are they all cooked and separated from their bodies because for when they use them they can pick up straight away like is that Jesus look another [ __ ] set there’s £200 worth of lobster here pre-cooking is wasteful and ruins the taste it’s barmy when when did these arrive this one but they’re all open they this morning I know we not serving them are you but they’re dead they’re all open some n inside what Alex come on [ __ ] me I’m not blind I know I know you’re not blind G they’re open every one of them is open so we’re using them tonight if we need some yeah we you’ll kill somebody they’re all open they’re dead you can’t serve them Alex yeah I know you’re not that [ __ ] stup I’m not [ __ ] stupid about that I know a little bit about fish so are we going to serve these tonight no thank you [ __ ] hell put them in the bin Jesus Christ [ __ ] me those muscles could have been fatal I’m going to tackle Alan about the kitchen disasters bizarrely he acts like there’s no complaints there’s no sense in light I’m telling you the truth in general people love it I’m [ __ ] amazed what I’ve been here the first day I found [ __ ] bought in pal SE B open [ __ ] muscles the most horrendous [ __ ] PL of Freedom I’ve ever seen in my entire life and now you’re thinking that it’s rare that someone’s complaining about no I’m not f r I’m just I’m telling you you’re very good no no no no I’m telling you what I’m told no I don’t need to [ __ ] and I’m not going to lie because I know no [ __ ] no I’m not no I’ve been honest [ __ ] day one and I’ll always be honest you’re not going to get lies get the [ __ ] truth if some if people complain I tell you people complain they don’t complain what do you want it’s not about what I want I’m telling you the truth no you’re no you’re telling me I’m a liar don’t tell me I’m a liar don’t do that man I’m not acting I’m telling the truth Li yeah you call me an actor Bullit what did I just say you said you said people so the muscles were [ __ ] closed were they no it’s got nothing to do with that I didn’t see the muscles word just so Clos I know that they were open I don’t tell me I’m acting and I’m lying cuz I ain’t and I ain’t man and it ain’t happening you’re doing show really good job thanks you’re out of order you’re out of

[ __ ] scared of f fine you just called me a silly ARS yeah yeah you haven’t got the bollocks to go in there and tell them the truth the chefs are taken advantage of Alan but only because he’s weak Alan’s in denal about what’s happening in his own kitchen there’s the boys they gone outside for a cigarette all right but I want you to understand something really important you may not like what I’m going to say mhm but whatever it is I’m here to help and you must never ever forget that but what I’m more concerned about is the fact that you’re in denial okay the minute and the quicker you come out of denial the quicker we can work together yeah that’s the problem with the kitchen man how much [ __ ] Lobster is there now I feel for you not just your [ __ ] your wallet but where the [ __ ] you’re going to be in 3 months time if [ __ ] [ __ ] like that’s cooked every day well but I cannot work with someone that’s in complete denial if that be the case and go I don’t know what to say mate because I’m not in denial I’m just saying talk to me about the problems show me the problems I didn’t know today that the problems existed and I should have known I know I’m wrong I should have known but I didn’t know because I put trust into the Departments that I felt needed trusted part can we work together sure we can work together thank you thank you oh the kitchen sucks you know all the staff are crap you know what what the [ __ ] am I doing here might we shut the door and open a [ __ ] bicycle show [Music] last night told me everything expensive food wasted leaderless chefs and a restaurant owner acting like everything’s fine merrily ignoring the Meltdown I’ve heard Allan’s put his house on the [Music] market hi every bu how you well how are you yeah well thank you how are you I I knew things were quite [ __ ] bad but I didn’t realize why’ you have to sell it just to keep everything going and where going to live um yeah do you have to sell it yeah course is it the pressure from the bank to sell it or is it just cash flow for the restaurant uh it’s just cash flow for the restaurant I’ve just bought as much as I can to get some mortgage mortgage is 430 Grand and you know the last six months I borrowed 40,000 and put into the restaurant [ __ ] H there’s a lot of riding on this huh work it out together you know that there’s just some real tough decisions that need to be [ __ ] made instantly you know that yeah and I can see it’s your [ __ ] life and soul I can see how much it means to you I I I totally get it I read it if we can’t save the business Allan will lose his home see his daily takes 17 mhm it’s bit so D strong I mean I got one day we took 325 that was a beer [ __ ] hell we’re in the middle of the [ __ ] season we need to find a way of doubling the turnover I’m not thinking [ __ ] lobster thermador I’m thinking looking at these figures [ __ ] fish and chips I’ve got a trick up my sleeve to get chemp Town’s Bohemians eating on mass at Ruby Tates sustainable fish Pollock lemon so gernard and done in a different way where the customer gets a choice is it fried is it grilled is it poached you feet gentlemen watch out freshly caught fish just might Inspire these chefs Farm SE bass is out I need something cheap and sustainable for tonight’s fish and chips rumor has that you can’t buy fresh fish in Brighton what the [ __ ] is this I agree I was wrong well [ __ ] me a Frenchman admitting he’s wrong Nam me one good solid fish that that can be a perfect fishing chip use poock look at that baby absolutely amazing and they’re in abundance they’re sustainable environmental friendly in terms that we’re not running short of them that’s caught by a local boat landed this morning out the Chan here Pollock is cheap and in plentiful Supply so no more throwing profits away on unsold Lobster I’ve never seen it before [ __ ] massive keep it simple it’s all favorite everybody loves fishing chips the smart Chef’s answer to Allan’s Financial woes is pile them high and sell them cheap portion after portion of fish and chips [ __ ] house for sale this morning that upset me don’t ask me how [ __ ] upset this man got it was [ __ ] disgusting it’s not your fault but you’re part of it okay I’m not blaming you individually but you’re working for this man and if you’re going to [ __ ] take the money then do the work for it okay Jamie same for you just show a little bit of passion to why the [ __ ] you’re a chef do you understand alth I’ll pay for your flight to [ __ ] off back to Australia cuz there’s no point you’re being here you and I are going to make fish and chips just slightly seasoned yeah okay into the flour nice coating of batter yeah and then yeah the batter is given color and kicked by some curry powder R Fish comes out yeah nicely seasoned nice piece of poock where the chips please a UK National Treasure good oldfashioned yeah fish and chips simar to Alan so hooked on the new dish he’s forgotten his phobia you’re eating fish first time you EA a while good I’m eating fish good yeah maybe when may it’s wonder I get a bone then everybody hike quick yeah it’s been 40 years since I’ve eaten anything any fish at all and today I broke the fear we should sell nothing else tonight except said bollocks because it’s so fresh Pollock poock sorry not bollocks not bollock bollocks I’m gambling on the nation’s favorite tonight only high volume sales and reasonable prices can save Alan I’ve invited some Camp Town locals to tuck in do you want to go have a look outside check out the I just did yeah yeah and and it looks like it’s going to be fun busy yeah busy yeah good two more fish of the day that’s 11 fish of the day total I love this man get out of your [ __ ] comfort zone here right really [ __ ] good we’re full but these chefs aren’t used to hard work can they cook consistently which I have to say I’ve never heard of poock but um so far so good very nice actually the wait just recommended it to me so when was the last time you had a nice piece of pollock I’ve never had never tonight it’s done in a crispy batter homemade chips is it good or just come through the batter is very thin and crisp and it’s absolutely lovely and the fish itself it’s such a fine texture it that’s nearly 20 portions in the last 15 minutes you know that no [ __ ] around thank you sir six more now yes yeah the resturant is full up yep for me the most important thing about tonight’s [ __ ] food is it’s local produce from down there there’s no [ __ ] Farm sea bass from Greece yeah there’s no lobsters from [ __ ] in you know Canada this is local produce caught straight off the boat into the batter and served how’s your Pollock oh delicious very good very good first time I’ve had Pollock and I enjoy it I shall have it again how are yours dear can’t believe you said that to me about my bollocks I thought you were great in the Queen by the way I beg you that’s how you speak to your people no you feel like reborn I don’t know like you feel you do something you just proud of yourself that’s it just to do something different you know I care this Tuesday’s Takin are phenomenal Allan’s made two grand when he’d normally take 200 quid so if we can do two grand on a [ __ ] Tuesday with 80% of our clients are having fishing chips and GL of [ __ ] wine I’m Sorry by the time we get to [ __ ] Saturday we should be sort of you know 8 n 10 grand but from where we’ve gone from where we are is yeah we’ve won nothing and tomorrow morning your house is still up for sale yeah Allan’s at last proved he’s got some guts but will he risk revamping the Psychedelic Decor of Ruby Tates which the locals hate I hope they hadn’t been warn that’s all I can say been sick I’m running out of time the menu is changing and so must the decor it’s time for the knickers to come off I can’t let him just destroy it I can’t do that and I won’t do that you know I’ve got you know I’ve got to stand up be a man he start he SS around and says all the pains got to come with the wall change the color ch the tablecloth I hate the glasses well sorry mate that’s my that’s my opinion you know what my opinion is really relevant cuz it’s all my money let’s have a quick um walk around the restaurant together and give me um give me the inspiration behind this ghastly Decor I don’t agree with you explain the color then is there any method in your Madness the colors came from the original painting that I got which I liked over there so you bought the painting and then designed the restaurant on the back of it yeah it’s like something that Jimmy s would keep his [ __ ] jewelry in well if that’s what you think that’s okay I don’t I disagree with you do you want fish on the wall you know mean you I’d rather have a [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] fish on the wall than a [ __ ] crusty pair of [ __ ] knickers see that see that insults me as well well because there a pair of nickers no use a pair of knickers don’t use a crusty pair of knickers it’s so because it’s so detrimental to the artist and also to me right so you taking it personally no that’s it now that’s it now yeah no no you’re just line you been out of cross the line again I tell you I don’t like the decor of the restaurant you start getting upset go for it go for it man not happening I’m not going any further it it’s [ __ ] why do you feel the necessity to insult is that where’s where’s the script there’s the script is this a big defensive thing that You’ Gott why don’t you read your own script and not taking your [ __ ] not taking your [ __ ] sh I’m not taking your [ __ ] on what you mean I’m talking I don’t care it’s your opinion ain’t my [ __ ] opinion you boss it ain’t my opinion you don’t like it tough [ __ ] I like it it looks great it sounds great and why are you working yourself up like this good because that’s what it’s about IIT that’s what it’s about [ __ ] you thank [ __ ] for that it’s finally come out right should we get back to the decor let’s not don’t call me a liar Gordon you [ __ ] don’t call me a liar man because you do that you’re at the [ __ ] [ __ ] in door with the camera and I’m telling you that don’t call me a liar cuz I don’t [ __ ] Li kick me out the [ __ ] door now he walks off should we talk about the decor will you stop acting like a baby then no you stopped you stop acting like a primadonna and then we then we both up half a chance there’s no reasoning with you is there there isn’t really is there at times like this I think you deserve to sink okay Gordon very good I’m sorry for insulting your pants that have been sprayed 18 times with paint they’re not crusted they’re just Dulux coated pants you know what I’m sorry mate I’ve had it I don’t know why we’re discussing this anymore you don’t want you don’t want to do this anymore I don’t want to do this anymore told me yeah let’s go Mo you just been Gordon Ramsey maybe you can’t do anything else you got no right to say that sure sure I got a right I’ve got I got every right to say exactly the same as you say to me for a man that’s that far in the [ __ ] You’ think you’d take something on the chin acting like a baby gets him nowhere there’s not much more anyone can do the show’s over I’m out of here Alan denies the truth in front of his face he’s going down with his knickers flying half mast you know what he ain’t God he’s Gordon Ramsey a successful businessman do you know what it ain’t the [ __ ] be all and end all the life screw [Music] him up behind Allan’s throwing me out at Ruby Tates he lost it when I suggested I change his Naf 80s decor well thank you in a last ditch attempt at reconciliation I’m taking him to a successful rival fish restaurant to see how they do it yeah yeah you can go back to Ruby takes and I can be in London by 6:00 but I think you’re missing one [ __ ] key point I’m not here to get personal I didn’t give a [ __ ] about the piece of heart I really don’t give a [ __ ] the piece of heart it was about that it was about the wording and the Crusty nickers but that’s the way I am yeah I know you understand let’s go back to what we spoke about the decco what’s the first thing you feel when you walk into here person cold absolutely Cold Stone Cold yeah um it takes 20 grand a week yeah it makes money it’s modern yes that’s what’s going to happen next to Ruby takes it’s got to be brought into the 21st century I do agree I agree I still have to have my personality yeah I’m staring at it okay that’s the biggest Decor personality you can’t buy that [ __ ] so that’s not Decor that’s you that is fundamentally absolutely Paramount without you we’re [ __ ] have you always been this stubborn yeah on stage yeah don’t change will you I will not no way let’s get the [ __ ] out of it you ladies first now we’ve buried the hatchet and need to get back to saving the business Allan’s staff don’t respect him he must show them who’s boss I’ve called a staff meeting on the Rolling High Seas there’s a storm brewing and Ruby Tates needs a [Music] Lifeline now we’re in choppy Waters just like Ruby t up and down on the verge of [ __ ] sinking Alan can deny the truth no longer his sty think he’s a walkover they’re going to review his performance right now I want all of you to give me one [ __ ] good point and one bad point on Allan seriously think about it yeah one good point and one bad point this isn’t going to be pretty Allan’s a terrible B B first one not strict enough doesn’t command my respect good point too nice I’m not picking on you here no I know you’re not picking on I’m trying to [ __ ] open your eyes up to what the [ __ ] you are doing running a business and what’s coming out of this is that you’re just one big [ __ ] soft happy gol lucky sweetie pie that they love taking from you does anyone see you as a boss no obviously I know who do we answer to no one no one knows who to answer there’s no sort of real leader there’s no boss and we need a boss can Alan be ruthless and Sack bad staff in this exercise he’ll have to be assertive and decide who stays and who walks the plank convincing time Alex and I won’t prove myself and everybody we can do it and I think is important because I’m French and I’m proud of Alan uh but I do think I need to be assertive and I’m afraid you’re just going to have to walk the planket Ali thank you Alex on the plank it’s just going to be the highway kid hop it does she walk the plank do you know what I can let Nancy stay because I think ny’s got the heart and the experience and she works her ass off

boat [ __ ] you any last request [ __ ] you watch this SP is the the bottom line I can be as assertive as I need to be I’m a tough guy I’m a tough guy I have to be they call it a Napoleonic complex when you’re little people take the piss out of you it’s fighting talk from Allan but he has to prove himself His Two Chefs have definitely spoiled the broth tonight I’m going to choose just one of them to be leader every kitchen needs a head chef for discipline Control Insight and [ __ ] pushing standards out here they got very comfortable very relaxed and it’s not busy so why bother a head

floor Alex dude listen to me Focus Alex lost it tonight but Jamie kept his call my choice for head chef is a no-brainer it’s a tough night though you know tough night it’s always hard cooking cooking’s a [ __ ] hard job anyway sometimes he loses the plot but at the same time I’m not in a position to tell him off just for some reason today I just came out and started [ __ ] directing the [ __ ] traffic you know there’s still a big problem with the restaurant Decor I’ve got an idea okay to put a different color in here I don’t want to argue I’m I’m going with you because I I’ve thought it over and I am going to let you have your head because you’ve said a lot of very sensible things about moving forward now the decor is in my hands Allan’s relaxed a little like to be beside the seaside but will the staff accept my choice for their new head chef we need to establish a leader in that kitchen Alex it’s not you I know last night’s performance confirmed that Jamie forget the travels commit to Allan do you understand that understand I’m have to do it I know I can do it I want to do it one final role that’s missing Allan’s role Your Role you are the lovey The Perfect Host

business and that’s why I’m here sure I do I do understand that and it’s so important to make it your own yeah and this is about as close to [ __ ] Harry Ramden as I am to [ __ ] being head chef in McDonald’s brings me on to my next boner contention Ruby Tates well you stripped me of everything big deep breath I don’t [ __ ] care if you don’t like it I don’t [ __ ] care but you’re missing the

Tes are sunk Without a Trace and it looks beautiful in there loves has being reborn Alan hates the decor but what about my new menu I’m talking about making this restaurant a pillar in the community on the board there yeah we’ve got our fish and for the first time the customers have got the choice whether it’s poached grilled or fried right so we’re using sustainable fish and making a bit of a statement with it as well poached grilled or fried the customer has the right to launch Love’s sustainable menu I’ve invited some foodie friends bright and royalty Zoe ball and Norman cook are you with julan yeah it’s good to put the wind at my new head Che with a couple of VIPs the exciting thing about the fish yeah steamed poached pred or grilled fish done you know however you wish so it’s an alternative I think in a traditional fish restaurant lemon salt I reckon is always a good gauge as to how how good the fish is C lemon salt beautiful the kitchen’s already confused and a lemon Soul has gone missing y 19 hang on wa where we have a problem there’s a [ __ ] up man all that is going together all right all this one will be like if they one send that like 3 minutes away the chefs can’t afford to screw up tonight you know I’m not sure who’s if they having a lemon butter lemon butter this is yeah this is really important remember the ticket came first in y not 40 minutes later you got to check and and read it through and if you’re not too sure then you cross it off okay yeah so is that three Soul or two Salt it’s two Sal both off the bone yeah okay they’ve sorted the mess

crispy which for a takeaway is quite unique I have to say [ __ ] delicious just good I was going to go skin and probably within 6 months I would have been absolutely flat broke no house no money no business I would have gone but it’s really refreshing to hear you’re fighting for the business now if there’s a dream the dream is to take the brand name further truthfully mhm in denial still or running a business running a business uhhuh you going to keep it that way you know that ladies and gentlemen there’s only volume of this thank you for this evening did you enjoy dinner y excellent yeah um this man’s happy and he’s got every reason to be happy the restaurant’s consistent he’s using sustainable fish and it’s become a phenomenal local eery and for the first time ever Alan love is now running his business his business is not running him so [ __ ] good news I’m really happy 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 you I’ve seen some bad kites 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 [Music] Paris France capital of The Culinary 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 a tiny vegetarian restaurant run by Scott Rachel 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 F and put on since Rachel took over the business she’s been losing nearly 5 and a 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 theatro not me this is a first I spent three 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 meet you likewise 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 it’s minut Rachel runs the place with the help of her best friend Stephanie her only waitress you’ve been friends since four yeah amazing there are just Two Chefs K Chef Fiona only works three mornings a week Daniel is the head chef and Resident philosopher Where is the is this one from glasgo as well dude no where is he from bra he’s Brazilian okay what dish would you like to recommend for lunch and Las yeah it’s absolutely delicious it’s not on the menu at the moment this is is normal oh yes yes welcome to the mad house so we got a pistachio nut a walnut and now a Brazilian nut classic and there was a couple hereo 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 that’s amazing so uh you might want to try it I cannot believe I’m sat here in the middle of Paris if my chefs M gav and Jan Could See Me Now they would beat the crap out of me you know that to start the famous hummus salad top with raisins and dried onions get off there go I love hummus 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 a p 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 two minutes please yeah time for this bunch of jokers 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 mans owe €10,000 there is a bank loan which hasn’t been paid uh for 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 not ready like to do some cooking yourself what’s he been doing for the last 3 hours that’s what I’m 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 [Music] [Music] almost 20 minutes later he’s still fiddling with the salads is this how it normally function I would say don’t my it’s my fault this is a joke I’ve never seen anything like this I’ve not see anything like this this Brazilian nut has lost these marbles it’s burn burning it’s [Music] burn right there’s a pan here burning I’m trying to change the pan for him and he’s just telling leave it there 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 and [ __ ] chaotic as this Daniel is clearly hard to handle but Rachel is the boss you all 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 [ __ ] ashamed to go and see any fuckingom killing your business this is so sad do you know that but he needs to get his [ __ ] acting here 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 know Salvage something get some money in the tail this is is happening now apparently happened last weekend as well guys’s a joke [Music] why is it talk to customers we’ve asked nicely where are the Heavies when you need them come on Dani please go out go well it wasn’t a very good experience the uh entertaining it was entertaining ENT dinner theater with the plates crashing around in the background our food wasn’t very good put it politely the couscous was crunchy the tart was completely burnt to a Cris burnt quite burnt 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 a problem [ __ ] shame out Saturday night what a [ __ ] mess still here [ __ ] me [ __ ] me let’s start again we could not have continue with that we can’t and I can’t take him back now after that because that’s just totally unexpect it’s completely disrespectful to mean how much did we take €150 [ __ ] disaster you may have lost your chef but [ __ ] me you’ve got your restaurant 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 how are we I’ve called a crisis meeting with the remaining staff good Fiona yeah Asante how are you today fine good and you are the daytime morning chef yeah if you can’t work evenings so Rachel is on the look out 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 are we well are 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 I 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 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 that’s nice nice oh [ __ ] H what is that car lasna [ __ ] me watch out there’s a lasna coming don’t touch it it [Applause] [Music] bites Steph St this is food which Gorden wants to throw out cuz once it’s had a wash it’ll be perfectly fine you can see why I don’t want you to eat anything from the fridge it’s got cinnamon in it I it’s off I know 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 eh yeah w why the [ __ ] would anyone keep talking the 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 vegetarian or no no no no no no no no I like meat you like meat have you ever been to a vegetarian restaurant no no no um are you vegetarians no finding a vegetarian in Paris yeah is like looking for an needle in a Hy stack 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 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 commy Chef Fiona kidney beans in first yeah beans in a rich spicy Tu 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 Graton to replace that tasteless slopper was served yesterday seasoning is really important you I never put salt in my in my C you never put salt in your cookie no not 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 salt oo salt okay I use it and we go like this brings you good luck yes so now every day I want SP salt [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] has worked a few extra hours today and is that sort of commitment this business needs 5:30 go pick up your daughter mess huh thank you m okay best one the car as well 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 would expected 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’m just like what the [ __ ] am I doing here bustle my ass off in your establishment to help turn this around you went home and you said this morning You’ be back at 3:30 my cat about to give birth I had no choice and I had to have a shower okay I thought we were going to be doing some stuff in the kitchen together so you didn’t 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 and I think to Comm stop stop stop stop come on let’s get a little bit real than that I’m committed 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 ask anyone 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 what 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 refuse to be harassed and insulted insulted yes incredible harassed and insulted [ __ ] me take a good look at yourself thank you un I’ve got lots of [ __ ] tonight and you’re leaving me in the [ __ ] Lurch yeah but I can’t [ __ ] leave here [Music] okay jeez da nice 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 stve crisis herself yeah guard Rams is going to [ __ ] leave Matt panicked trying to find somebody to work with about 10 [ __ ] minutes to go uh so I just went to the Scottish par and they said to come over here and and uh one of the girls in the a 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 go there’s not much in the fridges some there some salad she’s found a temporary waitress and has decided to go into the kitchen herself uh okay so I’m actually going to be the kitchen because the normally my friend was supposed to be in the kitchen and she’s she’s walked out so oh that’s pretty okay so who’s the the D I found a waitress to come and uh so you so I’m going to be in here I’m giving Rachel one last chance to prove she really wants to save this restaurant yeah t is in the oven so you get the plate out and put the C on there thankfully these new dishes are foolproof the Chili’s ready to go gratt and the chili for table five and the Gratton simply need heating up watch the first of Piccolo’s new hearty dishes are already hitting the spot I love better turn and about 4 minutes now for the main course don’t forget to give them some bread on table eight dad can I pull you back all right oh cool oh is India coming to do some work oh Magic Rachel’s dad has a financial stake in Piccolo and has been looking for a new head chef swee 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 [ __ ] H 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 um 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 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 [Music] cheers now things are finally looking up it’s time to deal with one of Rachel’s biggest mistakes not opening for weekday [Music] lunch hords of hungry tourist swarms marry looking for quick cheap lunch and many head for the snack bar at the end of Rachel’s Street [Music] 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 up let’s go get some business I’ll prove that by offering a quick good value lunch Rachel could some much needed cash but I know this stubborn Scott will take some convincing so unbeknown to her I’ll be opening the restaurant for lunch myself always dreamt of having my own restaurant in Paris and finally it’s here shoa a par unfortunately it’s a [ __ ] vegetarian restaurant so uh yeah super 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 shed there’s roasted Vine tomato soup with cheese on toast for a bargain price of € and you don’t have to be veggie to enjoy that service it’s me again lovely Beau 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 Sur the other people first right it’s very kind thank you don’t let me did you leave a tip by the way uh there’s a little Sun backra there okay good man good man not opening for lunch in such a prime location is either Madness or laziness this soup was the best soup we’ve ever had it was really really ymy this was fabulous for us in terms of price 20 two I feel like a pig and [ __ ] [ __ ] 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 awake how many cats have you got there’s only two luckily we bowl a soup if someone opened my restaurant without telling me believe me I’d noticed

were coming in and coming out I cooked and I served on my Jack right 200 300 that’s 430 clearly Money Talks seriously as an eye opener it worked €450 I’m absolutely [ __ ] astonished really uh it’s really exciting if 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 tiatro 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 pH my mom or my dad and be down the phone you

oh that’s ridiculous 15 minutes ago free to come Gordon I have no control over my daughter I’m Rachel’s immaturity is incredible Brian’s been propping up her business for years and now that the mail has hit the fan she’s leading him to it what a shame an absolute [ __ ] sorry and I can only apologize you got nothing to be sorry about I’m I’m more sorry for you well these things happened on uh we left with a setup we I didn’t leave it in a in in a [ __ ] condition and Rachel didn’t try it I mean you know did no no from India’s point of view India did her best she came over and but frankly she didn’t get the backup India didn’t get the backup so I felt well I probably didn’t get the backup either so I I couldn’t see it going on you Tred to help in an attempt to salvage something from the mess and recoup his investment Brian is selling the business what about the debt what happens to the debt there was two loans on the business now paid one of them off and you’re an amazing guy you’ve bailed her out 40 minutes late Rachel decides to show her face take a seat how I I’m fine very well thank you uhhuh when India came back excited and motivated to come and support support your business and she walked into a [ __ ] hole there it was a mess it was it was a disaster why the place was as it was when you left you’re lazy you put nothing into it and you deserve a kick up the [ __ ] ass okay Missy and I’m I’m amazed I I really am the point is that I have been stressed out and not enjoying the I’ve been stressed out and since I closed decided to close down I feel a big weight is lifted off my shoulders I’m sleeping for the first time in 3 years you had every possibility Rachel of making this successful that’s decision I’ve made and I’m feeling really happy about it and it’s fascinating to watch you in a very cocky way I’m not being cocky at all your father’s money and abuse it you’re very lucky right I’ve had enough oh i’ had enough of your abuse I don’t need this deration I don’t need it sorry I’m right here abuse I don’t need it thank again thanks for coming and restaurants close easily especially when the owners aren’t committed 110% to put it back on track
