Tonight on Kitchen Nightmares Gordon goes to Ridgewood New Jersey to meet the most defensive Chef he’s ever met Paul bazini I don’t have all the tickets memorized not only is the restaurant failing I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning I’m miserable but a
Staffer fed up with his Tantrums that’s why you have a ticket don’t push it Paul but what’s with the [ __ ] sarcasm what the [ __ ] you want for me his wife is fed up with his attitude never saw anything like that my wife think that I like this
I don’t I have nothing else to say to you and the customers are fed up with not being fed get my food now and every time something goes wrong we’re sinking like the Titanic in here all Paul wants to do I can’t do everything myself is
Give excuse don’t have eyes in the back of my head after excuse I’m doing 400 things at once after excuse I can’t cook and talk and manage the tickets I need help stop you have given up will Chef ramsy be able to finally get through to him
Have some fire in your belly or will Paul finally run out of excuses I know that it starts and stops with me you say all the right things find out tonight on Kitchen Nightmares now it’s time to do the right things Bridgewood New Jersey an affluent suburb well known for the sheer volume
Of restaurants smack in the middle of this Pleasant town is a 5-year-old restaurant run by a former Manhattan star Chef Paul bazini I’m a very good Chef we got a full dining room drop another pan for four more here we go I’ve always been in the industry and
Worked my way up and became executive chef and worked in many places in Manhattan that had a lot of notoriety I love you love you too Paul has been recognized many times throughout his career he has has been written up in several magazines with some very positive reviews and I absolutely
Thought the restaurant was going to be a success but Paul never anticipated the transition from Star Chef to owner would be so difficult I don’t have any Focus e days is I wake up in the morning and I say what direction should I go in today
Should I cook should I shop should I work in the front of the house should I work on marketing should I pay bills and it’s like overwhelming killing me I think the pressure of owning the restaurant has definitely beat him down and his pass for food is not burning as
Brightly as it once was clearly what’s going on with me in the kitchen is suffering there’s your salad what salad what table I’m confused I’m confused yeah New York shft New York sh new okay you’re right I am distracted I am frustrated I’m angry always somebody always somebody always somebody and then
I’m frustrated with the food and I’m slamming plates down cuz the plate doesn’t look the way that I want it to look it’s messy but let’s just go with it okay the resulta was burnt I don’t know is it supposed to be spicy L complaints yeah so I heard I don’t feel
Like me I feel like somebody else I feel like me looking at somebody else everyone knows that he’s just not good about criticism this needs to be heated up these are perfect okay he gets pissed off and he yells I don’t have all the tickets memorized why well that’s
Why you have a ticket yeah okay do you think if you had a lot of money you wouldn’t be so goddamn Moody I support the restaurant financially certainly if I didn’t do that we would have been bankrupt years ago there’s no magic ATM machine like in the backyard like a Magic Money Tree
That I can just go pick money from there are no college funds for our children every day I’m scared that we’re not going to be able to pay the bills we need help we need direction we need advice my resume and all my accolades don’t mean a hill of beans if I can’t
Make it work here his passion for cooking defines him and I feel like it’s lost to him right now he needs to get it back There are over 60 restaurants within four blocks inside this beautiful town now after seeing a few of them my mouth is watering I can’t wait for lunch right bazis inovative American Cuisine What no am I too late bazine is ours Monday to Thursday 5: till 9:30 [ __ ] no lunch that’s ridiculous my B Gordon ha where are you call Me Unbelievable hello hi may speak to Chef Ramsey please is that Paul hi this is this is Paul bazini how are you sorry I missed you I didn’t realize you closed for lunch uh yes sir we’re closed for lunch okay I’m on my Way I’m Starving how are you hi welcome to bazini Chef Ramsey pleasure to meet you Gordon Gordon Paul pleasure to meet you nice to see you too wow this is minute isn’t it it’s challenging my goodness me is this it yes sir wow it’s like being inside a doll’s house it’s uh some Decor

Will it be to his opinion who knows this place makes me feel nervous it’s small it’s cramped and no wanted the clothes for lunch God so narrow look at this place place from one table to the next Huh God they grimy oh [ __ ] that’s Depressing Entre comes with sound effects maybe he’ll blow me away with the food because the atmosphere my God it’s Depressing I’m thinking that I want to send out just a just a few light dishes to him something hot something cold something grilled something sauteed just a full rounded experience hey Paul I’m here to help hey how’s it going how you got good I think Chef Ramsay is going to
Have a lot of things to say to Paul about how to change things and I don’t think Paul’s going to take it well gentleman said he was very hungry so fair enough I think Paul has his own ideas that what he’s doing is just right
It doesn’t need to be changed and uh I think some of those things do need to be changed here we go that is the fetuccini mhm basil rugal aesto little orot Salada on top much and then behind that here is a chicken Payard sort of millanes pounded breaded excellent I didn’t catch
Your name my name’s Alex Alex Charmed good to see you so much pleasure I’ll be back in a moment thank you Alex cold Bland reallyy Bland okay look at this thing it’s like a [ __ ] elephant’s foot m That’s not normal for a chicken to be so [ __ ] hot F that’s a mess thank you Alex absolutely and I’d appreciate if the chef could actually taste that okay cuz it is Bland Beyond Bland okay um why is that so dry H I wish I had a good answer for that question chicken should be moist well I’ll move straight to the
Next course thank sure fetuccini plant chicken why is it so dry that’s [ __ ] I want to go home Paul certainly doesn’t like it when people criticize his food but I you know I think he actually reacted to Chef Ramsey’s criticisms the same way he reacts to a lot of the guest’s
Criticisms like maybe it’s not necessarily that important cuz he’s right hello hello how are you very well I’m Leslie bini nice to see you D nice to see you thank you for coming we really appreciate your help it means a lot to us that you’re here I don’t want

Like it too mushy there is a classic you know way to do it but some people around here just don’t like it that way you know my ego is not here to hear that Gordon Ramsay loved the dishes or didn’t like the dishes I’m not concerned about
That I’m concerned about what I do how what the product that that I put out it’s all yours Alex all right here we go almond crusted tilapia jasmine rice with some pepper hopefully you enjoy it Wow I love the jasmine rice he has to like the jasmine rice it’s just so Bland honestly I mean it’s just greasy Bland and you cut into the fish and it’s just mush how’s the tilapia coming along we making some forward progress here yeah no I’m do you know what I’m uh
I’m still hungry um do you have something in mind any desserts certainly Sharon or dessert Chef makes everything I’ve got a carry cake oh wow should be a New York cheesecake do you know I have a little Slice of Cheesecake and the carrot cake done please yes cheesecake carrot cake
Tilapia no go fish was Bland watery fish was Bland again which we’re kind of like we have a older clientele here they like not too assertive things right how could I think that Paul did a good job you know if he did a good job Chef Ram he
Would have said the food was great you know he didn’t say that so Paul didn’t do a good job we start right here with a carrot cake wow all homemade yes absolutely thank you hi Gordon’s eating your carrot cake right now as we Speak oh the last thing that people eat is dessert and if the dessert sucks that’s bad hey bloody do you scared me don’t come around the corner like that Sharon Sharon first of all that is delicious awesome now whose recipe is that mine can I have it if for a price
Everything a price I’m glad you said that that’s made with passion as much as you have you make love to that carrot cake don’t you well I’m getting divorc so it’s the cake or uh I’ll go for the cake hope he likes some sh it’s going to
Be devastated if he hates it I hate it I’m so glad you liked it honestly I thought like it’s a [ __ ] wak in a funeral and all of a sudden the carrot cakes arrive and wof I’m back up there I love you although dessert left Chef Ramsey
With a good taste in his mouth it still doesn’t erase the bad taste of the rest of the meal let’s talk about the food dessert let’s go backwards okay yeah that was delicious good glad you enjoy it really good um great way to finish clearly but I certainly didn’t start off like
That I said to you show me your best give it to me big time the risoto was in embarrassing PA it tasted the way it looked damn is that normal Bland mushy and it looked atrocious honestly it was [ __ ] disgusting the chicken how many days were you baking that for seriously
I mean you may laugh but it’s not funny honestly I thought I’d lost my tooth it was so crunchy on the outside Dry in the middle it wasn’t intended to be dry or to be overcooked uh you sent it out I know that that’s the way you normally cook it overdone
Certainly don’t think that I cook food overdone okay I me rotto overcooked chicken overcooked you certainly did for me okay I I need to get some fresh air I’m going to come back later I’m here tonight show it to me okay hopefully this time with a little bit more effort
Okay did you think that he was going to like it it angers me that Paul has given up because I haven’t given up you’re like dead I want the nightmare to be over coming up a shocking dinner service where Paul loses control of the kitchen I don’t have all the tickets memorized
And his mind that’s why you have a ticket he ends up taking his frustration out on his staff what’s with the [ __ ] sarcasm what the [ __ ] you want for me and on top of that his wife no longer believes in it never saw anything like
That my life can Chef ramsy make a last Stitch effort to save Paul have some fire I’m miserable w from himself I never thought in a million years this could happen that’s next on Kitchen Nightmares this former Manhattan star Chef failed to impress Chef Ramsey at lunch now it’s time for Chef Ramsey to see how Paul handles the customers of Ridgewood New Jersey in a dinner service all right guys we got to get ready I hope Paul could get his [ __ ] together
The food is there the capability is there you just have to do it it’s like you have to [ __ ] or it off the pot hello good evening can I take your wine May there you go and this is good to see you your Su Chef right yes this kitchen
Is like a [ __ ] shoe box in here yeah I know holy crap I think Chef Ramsey doesn’t realize that I worked with a lot of very well-known chefs it’s not intimidating I have the talent the desire and I definitely can do the job crab cake across the board so for this
Rard you smell good I smell good after sh Shan are you hitting on me no I like the After Shave smells nice oh may just brush your ass past me no I’m not Gordon is adorable and of course he’s quite the butt I’m sorry in the crab cakes ready okay thank
You how come they cooked already they’re pre- seared you sear a crab cake no we pre-sear the crab cake and then it goes into the oven no hold on a minute why wouldn’t you do that to order for to expedite it out a little bit faster but
Surely it’ll take longer to get yes hotter once already cooked yes is it meal does that not make sense it doesn’t make sense doesn’t make Sense here is your crab cake sir may I get you any fresh pepper on that uh no thank you no how strange how are they doing in the kitchen a bucket of crab cakes that just go into the oven to be reheated but they were s off like
Yesterday did you know they were done there day before of course not I thought everything was fresh everything I feel like Paul is losing his Artistry and that he doesn’t care it’s not affecting him it not only pains me it it angers me quite frankly I mean
That’s just not okay it’s all burned on the side I like it’s the F burn is it really is everything okay with your crab cakes burn it’s over okay let me get that back here no problem I need another crab cake on the Fly what did they say I was burnt Burn
Yeah there’s two more we’re about to go out please tell me you’re not going to serve them no I’m not Chef we had issues with the crab cakes tonight it’s not the right way to do it it should be done a different way and I know how to do it a
Different way but that’s not how it was done that it’s not it’s [ __ ] disgusting do something about it please P he’s are garbage this is not a reflection of the way that I want things to be okay so how we doing back there right I’ll go check for you it’s an hour into
Dinner service and very little food has left the kitchen around 29 and Bre so hungry in order to get an accurate picture of the Slowdown that’s not ready there’s no potatoes on honey Chef Ramsey times how long cook food sits at the pass I just think I eat like of bre sitting
Here waiting for our food okay 4 minutes B steak Paul that’s still there yes I’m working on everything everything is working hey let me bring some food out there I yeah but she have her Paul is communicating but most of his communication is that he can’t handle it
And it’s going too fast going to have to leave yeah J yeah it is a little bit like a little yeah okay these people are going to leave if I don’t get this one out he decides how fast things come out I don’t know why it takes so long I just
Know it takes so long there has to be S there oh okay table 32 can now go thank you you’re welcome finally yes and now after a long wait those potatoes look a little over dunge the customers aren’t satisfied okay no problem I’ll send that back for you okay thank you Paul what’s
Wrong uh it’s cold oh come on I’ve certainly become annoyed with clients and I feel like you know people that want to give you criticism they just don’t know like what you’re going through and if they just knew like a little bit of what you were going
Through they might be a little bit more compassionate but it’s not a compassionate business is this going poor I’m just worried about food coming back cold and this is sat here I was told that the salads will be ready I’m waiting for the salads take half of that salad off what
Are you building a [ __ ] Christmas tree half no half the plates don’t look the way they should when I don’t do them well when I put just take half of the salad off please follow my directions I’m going to help you okay I’m not here to hurt you I’m here to help you
Contrary to what everybody says I do know a few [ __ ] things oh easy to sum up Paul’s moods if he were a woman he would have PMS 24/7 okay so let me Demo a chicken Melise for the 400th [ __ ] time which is nothing more than chicken and salad and my 12-year-old can [ __ ]
Do it yeah listen don’t push it Paul when I don’t put it high enough you yell at me that it’s not freaking high enough why do you have to make it so difficult for it why can’t we why can’t why can’t we just finish this chicken millones and
Make this particular chicken millones a right one not talking about yesterday not talking about next month but what’s with the [ __ ] sarcasm can’t but if you tell me to do it one [ __ ] way you’re changing it what the [ __ ] you want for me changing it right well you told me the first [ __ ]
Time why do you have to make it so difficult for why can’t we the battle to get foodo tonight has resulted in a war in the kitchen but what what the [ __ ] s what the [ __ ] you want for me and the impact is being felt in the dining room get my
Food now who’s waiting on one 34 has been waiting for like an hour an hour this big table behind me what are they waiting on Whose table is that Julie how long are you waiting on T over an hour yeah it’s all over an hour this is not
Normal surely no tonight is the worst dinner service that I have ever seen I mean I have never experienced anything like this in my life okay there Paul yes sir I don’t know what’s happened but the level of frustration out there is intense so stop we can’t continue like this stop
It will you apologize the tables please Rebecca what a freaking disaster bad I know it was a terrible night we had people not get food when tickets were here we failed tonight it’s my responsibility sorry my friends the kitchen has been shut down I’m so sorry I’ve never had to do this
Before never saw anything like that in my life I understand that do you think that I like this you think that I want it to be like this I don’t but but what I’m one person with two hands Paul you don’t please don’t start with excuses
That’s not going to help Paul had a horrible night 100% off his game and I think gave up before he even got started but people hated the food well that’s not what we got back here I’m very angry saying that someone liked something 50 people didn’t like it open your eyes I
Have nothing else to say to you equally as miserable as tonight’s dinner service was Paul’s attitude and Chef Ramsey wants to know why tonight showed me that you hated cooking I cannot ignite that little button I need to see it from you Jeff I feel awful I
This is not the way that I want to work or the way that I know that I can work why you doing it to yourself I I why you’ve got to give me the answer because I can’t start helping until you tell me but I mean no one’s asking you
To rent and Rave I’m just asking you to have some fire it’s not normal for a guy that’s been cooking for 20 years plus to stand there with no feel or passion and send [ __ ] like that as if it’s just going over your head whether you like it or
Not you have given up your whole family is on the line here do you know how hard it is to look at my kids when I go home at night or my wife it’s not easy okay it’s not supposed to be easy I don’t care if it’s not easy I just want
It to be better but don’t stop Trying think I’m happy I’m miserable I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning I want to stay in Bed okay listen I’m committed to helping you and I’m not leaving this place until it’s set we are going to work at this together at turning this around tomorrow I want you at your best yes yes get some sleep thank you good night good Night After an emotionally draining night Chef Ramsey has a task in mind to help ignite Paul’s passion in the kitchen good morning hello um new day new attitude new start so last night it took us an hour on average to get appetizers out so here’s what we’re doing today I want you
To get used to the time pressure you see what I’m saying like sort of you know kickstarting the [ __ ] car again you know like a new battery in it you got 15 minutes from now to cook me oh God a stunning pasta dish off you go trying to
Kill me you could do it 15 minutes go Paul in order for Paul to impress Chef ramsy this Chef is making fresh pasta for the first time in 5 years I just want to be able to do what I know how to do it just you know just cook from the
Heart and uh get back to raising the bar for my myself what are you going to make I’m just getting a lay of land that’s all you have 14 minutes the clock is ticking and it’s just you know like everything around me was just turned off like I wasn’t hearing or seeing or
Feeling or worrying it was just you know I was living in the Moment 10 minutes babe he’s sitting he’s ready he’s waiting to be served you can totally totally wow him right now please guys watching everything that he did and I was definitely afraid that Chef Ramsey wasn’t going to like it and and what that would mean carry it out I’ll carry
It out are you sure you want to do that yes all right hey here we go Chef thank you you’re welcome we have a capalini pasta with a chunky Pesca sauce and some rock shrimp lovely well I used to be a good Jeff I think I’m still a good Jeff I
Would just want him to be able to recognize that there was a a passion that went into making This Chef Ramsey has put Paul’s passion for cooking to the test we have a capalini pasta with a Pesca sauce lovely now it’s time to find out if he passed I would hope that Chef Ramsey would recognize that you know some love went into making this dish wipy to his taste who
Knows that’s nice capalini cooked perfectly thank you it just felt good to just have a really positive comment from Chef Ram I really needed that lift what does pasta mean to you to me it’s like bread it’s step of Life mhm pasta can be anything you can go through all different flavors
Textures proteins colors you can have dried pasta fresh pasta it’s a blank canvas it’s you know it’s it’s just something for the artist to paint you sounded more exciting in the last 2 minutes talking about pasta than you have done since I’ve met you it was the
Old Paul he was excited he was energized it was the man that I married and it’s really weird isn’t it it takes something like a pasta dish to sort of ignite how you feel about it absolutely today at this moment I know that like the healing process has
Begun after a small glimmer of hope this morning Chef Ramsey wants to try an experiment time for some sophisticated marketing he wants to take advantage of the Ridgewood foot traffic and tests Paul’s speed in the kitchen how are you so for the first time in 4 years bazini

You haven’t changed enough to convince me that this can turn Around I was totally focused and totally committed no no no no you weren’t poor Chef no no come on Big Boy the first appetizer had raw squid not slightly seared raw 20 minutes later the place was sunk you needed me I regrouped got the kitchen back together I’ve never
Worked this hard in launching a restaurant the truth hurts Paul you’ve got to start telling yourself some serious hope truths the way to becoming a better Chef is to realize your weaknesses and improve those weaknesses I’ve taken all of the advice and I’ve taken a lot of it to heart and I’ve seen
A lot of it of what I do is wrong here’s my advice at the heart of this restaurant has to be you your food you on the plate you have to stand up to the plate and hold the reins I know that it starts and stops with me and I know that
I have to be the leader and I know that I have to command the troops I take responsibility for that you say all the right things always but now it’s time to do the right things right good night thank you I think that Chef Ramsey came in and
Really identified the problems and I think he certainly helped Paul and I totally feel that all the tools we have are enough to save the restaurant Chef yes chef good luck thank you very much appreciate everything appreciate all your hard work and and everything youve
Done for me is it’s over to you now I won’t let you down this experience has been amazing I’ve been put on the path to success and I’m really excited about going forward please don’t let yourself down thanks very much good night good Night what a week Ridgewood may have 60 restaurants within four blocks but I do believe the new bazas with its fresh pasta can be a huge local success unfortunately I’m just not sure about Paul but nothing would make happier if you could prove me Wrong after Gordon’s departure Paul immediately hired a strong Sue chef and with the new fresh pasta identity bazin’s experienced a boost in business oh very sadly Sharon left the restaurant to get away from Paul and to focus on her own dessert Business e
