I’m Gordon Ramsey and I’m back on America’s roads with my Cony Command Center heading to nine more struggling restaurants let’s go to the scariest place in America with these businesses on the brink of collapse just smell that this is worse than the plague you’re lucky you haven’t killed anybody I’ve got to work quickly so I’m get myself just 24 hours to try and save each one of them did each member of Staff take your turn [ __ ] in here oh my it’s my third time around the country and even though my Advanced scene tells them it’s a new renovation show people are suspicious so I’ve had to up my disguise and decoy game is that you yeah no way I couldn’t even tell so I can get into these restaurants and see what’s really going on you are [ __ ] kidding me what I discovered this round is more shocking than ever [ __ ] hell if I have any hope of saving these restaurants I got to month I’ll have to go to Helen Back in 24 hours we just can’t stand there and shrug your shoulders she’s in [Music] tears I’m on my way to the seaside community of manasan New Jersey a very popular tourist destination Manasquan host vacationers looking to relax soak up the sun and experience some delicious local Cuisine now blend on Main sits in a prime location on Main Street now this area sees hundreds of thousands of people during the summer but the local population isn’t blending into this restroom for the rest of the year and now storm clouds have formed owner and head chef luk Smith has spent the last several years literally blending his home and work life to the point where both are unrecognizable with hurricane force winds increasing the owner needs to change course quickly or restaurant and family could be swept out to see my name is l Smith and I am the chef co-owner of Blendon Main in manisan blend on Main was opened in 2014 through Ray reviews we did really well uh the town embraced us but we’ve leveled off and we’ve seen a bit of the decline blend is highly seasonal we do really well two months out of the year but there’s 10 months left and you’re struggling to break even so I’ve watched the numbers dip we are always a few bad weeks away from having to make really tough decisions we might have to close the doors [ __ ] Frozen again it’s hard owning your own restaurant I do everything at at blend except for cooking I’ve been working with Tara since 1998 she’s been with me the whole ride she’s had a wonderful wife wonderful mother having a restaurant was lose dream for as long as I’ve known him it was not my dream blend means everything to me it’s the source of income for my family there’s so much on the line being a half a million dollars in debt is not the easiest thing to swallow I’m de until 10:30 11:00 p.m. every night just making sure you know all the eyes are dotted and the teas are crossed the pressure is so great there’s never downtime nobody coming to Expo just watch us all [ __ ] struggle being married to Lou has been hard because it’s always work he’s Miss birthday parties he’s missed Christmas Eve he definitely misses out on a lot of things that we do because he’s always working if we want to have dinner with Daddy you know we have to come here it’s hard to enjoy each other’s company honestly Ruby kitchen now and stay in here don’t bust you [ __ ] bring up food for the rest of the night in the middle of service it’s war and if I’m having a bad day I’ll go at it with everybody I can’t [ __ ] be waiting for [ __ ] it’s like it’s like you guys are working against me tonight I’ve been working with Chef Lou about 10 years he’ll push you to your absolute limit and Beyond don’t go anywhere do not go anywhere the [ __ ] are you not here when he’s angry he can become brutal with some of the comments dude what he doing come on bro loose Behavior twice caused me to walk off the line [ __ ] two boxes of [ __ ] sucking filets in there I haven’t I have it’s like our first [ __ ] day of where [ __ ] is I don’t like when he raises his voice hey where the [ __ ] is Tara Lou has definitely made me cry even here you know at times in front of the staff or you know it’s mostly when I’m alone in the shower that I cry you’re [ __ ] kidding me so many times I wanted to walk out and just not come back I need help in the kitchen we’re completely capable of running without L we all have a great skill set and a passion for food he’s got to let go a little bit and Trust that’s the biggest problem I desperately need change my life can’t move at this speed this level for much longer that doesn’t go to me it goes up front come on okay [ __ ] there’s a lot at stake if blend fails with only 24 hours to try and say blend on Maine I needed to enter the eye of the hurricane to see what is really going on so my team told the restaurants that they were trying out for a traditional renovation show whilst there have been interviews we installed hidden cameras throughout the restaurant and have been recording secret surveillance footage ever since unfortunately my presence at the Jersey Shore has been discovered so I’ve decided sending my good friend and fellow Chef James Avery undercover as a distraction so Lou this guy he’s going to be looking for Gordon Ramsey okay so the idea is putting you in Disguise as me but we’ll make it a bad disguise so you become an obvious Target okay meanwhile I’m on a camera rumaging around y divide and conquer with two small airports less than 10 miles away from the restaurant we’re disguising James as a ghastly pilot take this home [Music] wow trust me tonight you’re going to stand out what about the hair you okay with that it’s nice to have here cameraman James ready for action and now it’s time to meet our flight crew hey how you hey we’re ready for Halloween to see James Avery that’s scary Gordon Ramsey in Disguise but the focus is on you this is my decoy okay ready for take off absolutely with camera in hand and my flight crew in Focus thank you it’s time to find out if James’s ridiculous disguise is as distracting as we’ve planned right this way please watch your [Music] step hi folks welcome to blend do everybody all set to order I’m going to go with the uh Taco the taco to start it’s loud huh all right um the lobster and panata and P sir uh chops pork chop yeah pork chop with all the attention trained on James and his disguise I’m going to stroll into the kitchen unnoticed and I’ve been told Lou already knows that I’m here 22 pretzel rolls now was that with the red Bliss or Mash sir yes sir did you see what you just [ __ ] said red Bliss or Mash sir oh I’m sorry I say with red Bliss Yes red Bliss it’s like he’s [ __ ] with me today mess for table 12 19 minutes where is Tara somebody’s preventing Tara to come back here I’m going to be [ __ ] pissed off2 Tara he said he doesn’t see your face now he’s going to lose it okay all right good I’m hungry let’s go did your order it Well Done uh no I did not maybe it’s just crispy on the outside no that’s Raw it’s amazing when they can burn something and it still be raw I think we have better food on the plane yeah definitely more food not been eatting while it looks like my flight crew has run into some turbulence I’m joining my production team at a crew meal table so I can taste some of the dishes myself now Captain Leatherface James right now every customer in this dining room and the staff think that is a me the focus is on his table so what a great decoy I think our plan as words I mean seriously have you ever seen anything so ridiculous in all your life Chopsticks calamari that is soggy greasy some bits of fried some bits of rubbery what a [Music] mess wow thank God there’s a box [Music] there looks like a Hal mushy very very fishy oh my God jie can you smell that holy [ __ ] that is terrible I know it’s soil it tastes like no one cares here anymore this place has lost its will and that starts with the head I’ve seen enough Captain plastic let’s go ladies and gentlemen Fox and knives down could you please let go get the kitchen Chef they want you out there right now ASAP who does that I must say that was one of the most underwhelming meals I’ve had in quite some time not who you thought is it [Music] oh [ __ ] me oh [Music] God uh let’s get one thing absolutely [ __ ] clear there is nothing to clap about what I’ve just witnessed over the last two hours I am absolutely shocked and you should be disgusted I was in the kitchen standing right by your side literally inches away the [ __ ] you give to the team the out of control cooking and the disgusting food are the staff too scared to tell you the [ __ ] truth cuz I’m not I want to give you an insight to how not only is this business on its last legs but we have a chef that’s falling out of love and has no respect for his team take a look at this [Music] flat red blend and BLT got to go out now the other stuff goes out after he [ __ ] up again can we get some [ __ ] help in the [ __ ] sucking kitchen can anybody [ __ ] help did you hear that what did he say Steve said tables 1 2 and three AR ready tell Steve to eat a dick Lou I want to go straight to you what is your problem I don’t know I I don’t even what to say I’m standing inches away from you you take a cloth you wipe your face you go down and you wipe the plate are you done have you finished we just can’t stand there and shrug your shoulders in front of your wife she’s in tears we just can’t stand there and shrug your shoulders in front of your wife she’s in tears I’m going to apologize on Lou’s behalf because he’s shut down he’s refusing even to accept any responsibility no one’s paying the check today I’d like to see all of you please back here in 24 hours from now I’ve got my work cut out to get this place turned around and that time starts now every member of Staff get on your phones call her because that’s right you’re part of this trying just to breathe Can’t Catch My Breath we just got torn a [ __ ] I’m not going to be home tonight just go to sleep I don’t have no idea Joseph I don’t know what they going to do to us it’s bad it’s bad it’s I’ve asked Tara and Lou to step away so the staff can speak more freely somebody tell me truthfully what on Earth is going on I don’t know what why he’s angry all the time we come in at 4:00 and everybody’s in a good mood Yeah Yeah by 4:15 we’re out here saying you got to be kidding me he’s miserable back there and he wants to make some of us miserable with him it’s hard when you come in and you have to see him like belittle everybody around you cuz that stresses me out it’s hard to concentrate get things done T you’re the Pati Chef right I do everything actually I do everything out of all of you here how many have considered quitting raise your hands yeah how many of you feel that you’ve been abused wow uh it’s actually unreasonable and he takes no accountability yeah how’d you work like that I work better when he’s not there why are you still here I need the money you need the job I have four kids and currently a single mom and what’s your background graduated culinary school in ’98 with two decades of experience does Lou respect you as a chef I think he he respects me as a cook but not so much as a chef two different things a cook and a chef how does that make you feel I feel not important almost disempowered oh absolutely I need to work under people that have integrity and trust me so this man has a team underneath them that have been handicapped y and to get them both Lou 2 seconds please would you come back out please uh T thank you so Lou why are you so overc contr controlling and don’t trust a single member of Staff in here I’m a I’m a perfect what a pathetic desperate answer I wish I could come here and have so much more input we can’t work full-time in a restaurant cuz we have kids you know we have six kids between us we have passion and we all like to do food ta loves food but I wish they would trust me it’s not about trust it’s about what you just said some of the moms that do work in the kitchen can’t commit to what the kitchen needs it’s not that the moms are very capable it’s just working six nights five nights a week do you mean moms how [ __ ] chis they can’t you have children and my wife is able to be home with them oh my God this guy’s a dinosaur I’ve got something like 85 female chefs and if they’re good enough to be a head chef three nights a week they get the job if it’s four nights a week they get the job it’s one night a week I believe in Talent this man doesn’t believe in Talent whether you’re here three nights a week two nights a week if you’re good enough to r that kitchen girl you run that kitchen Lou I was in there firsthand I got a camera in my hand I’m not impressed with your behavior I’m disgusted with the way you treat the staff and like I said I’m done with your [ __ ] excuses I don’t know what to say I’m sorry guys you’re sat with your back to your team you shrug your shoulders and you tell them you’re sorry oh boy you got a lot of people that love you in this room you don’t have to be angry you can trust us it’s not just a job yeah we have a lot on the line too because we got bills to pay but we love you guys your family your children let this genius in front of you help you I’m here to turn this place around with about him Theresa this is Theresa my designer I need everybody committed to getting this place absolutely turned around thank you I need you in the kitchen let’s go okay everybody uh let’s get the restaurant cleaned out all the chairs out the back hold up the tablecloth have any questions ask anyone of this team with the clock ticking it’s time for my renovation team to take this overpacked banquet hall and transform it into an upscale destination the boys will carry the chairs but first I need to tackle the biggest problem can you not see what you’re doing the anger the anger and the desperation it’s so demanding and I can’t turn it off but inside I’m seeing a man that is broken that’s lost it completely and bringing every around this anger comes from where I don’t know I I I I don’t know why I’m angry I don’t know why I’m angry I I honestly is it insecurity I don’t feel like I have to berid people when [ __ ] goes wrong it’s like I have no filter yeah but there’s a disconnect because you’re standing there with this big wall and this shield and you’re not accounting for anything and I’m trying to get to the beginning who let you down in life to make you feel this way I can’t I can’t I can’t really boohoo my dad left when I was a kid you know that [ __ ] sucked you know what am I I’m sorry to hear that yeah I had an issue with my father then my mom dated some [ __ ] complete alcoholic and you it’s been been tough I have had nobody honestly I’ve had to kick and scratch since I was 14 having that void and making you feel that aggressive it’s affect you in a way that is going Beyond there’s millions of people that are far worse than I am you know what I mean look the business is failing and my whole life is [ __ ] on the line stress I’m I’m at the max all the time whether you like it or not I’m here to help Lou but you need to look within this place functions better without you and if that’s not a sign you shouldn’t be in the business if you tell me that I can’t be in my own restaurant to be successful then I’m you’re cutting my legs off you missed the point if you continue the way you are you end up having a severe heart attack a broken family or you’re going to turn up to work one day and find that there’s going to be nobody here cuz the minute a new Resturant opens on Main you’re gone so the team are put to work first of all the entrance D yes very dra there’s no color there’s nothing approachable to this space so we want to bring in just a little bit more life and color and we walk in my Saving Grace uh is the fireplace yes what’s the idea we’re going to have a nice little seating area here with some sofas and some very comfortable chairs good and then we’re going to have some hanging planters on either side just to give some life in here some Greenery also the acoustics B yes very so what we’re going to do is bring in some acoustic panels for the ceiling um and then we’re going to have some on the walls up here we’re putting in this beautiful wallpaper that kind of gives a feel of the water here yeah I love that so a lot of blue coming in yes lot of green coming in yes no tablecloth as well which promise me no tablecloths no tablecloths good thank you I’ll check in with you later okay it’s clear my renovation team has their hands full with a massive front of house project but right now I’ve invited Lisa to Helen Wheels to see if the chef’s pushed aside by are as good as I hope they are come on over so have a look in here state-ofthe-art kitchen the most amazing buildout right how you feeling um it’s surreal Chef surreal why oh just like a dream to be here with you um well I’m here for you guys you know so how did you get into food my mom mom Sicilian family wow and you have chance to take the kids back or not no no how old are the kids 11 14 18 and 25 20 stop 25 mhm oh boys seriously yeah Mega Elis is 21 and twins are 19 Till’s 17 and Oscar’s 6 months old number five that’s why I work so hard how do you manage and look after the boys I only have my kids uh 3 and a half days a week right so I work a lot when they’re not with me there’s no time out for you not really not really but I chose that and your passion H yeah and I want to learn yeah I can see that let’s get on to something that we’re more excited about anything and that’s cooking right come over guys please come and stand in the heat you can stand over here we good yes yeah what I’m trying to do is get you beyond L the biggest missed opportunity for me is you guys not being allowed to step up to the plate now this is the menu we’re going to be launching with maybe we can share one there we are guys step up there please come forward let’s look at the risotto we start off with a beautiful English P risotto and it’s done with a p puree finished with Crispy pruto there look at it super simple it’s a beet cured salmon uh next to that we got beautiful scallops that trust me they’re going to be seared both sides top and bottom next to that we got a beautiful paned halet with our roasted tomato broth all those wonderful vegetables after that we’re going to do a beautiful steak of P so we’ll do the garnish with the fonded potatoes SED mushrooms and then finally we’ve got a beautiful maple glaze dug breast with roasted carrots here’s what we’re going to do let’s start off with a duck okay and so just a nice little score so what that does it helps to break down the fat a nice season now 90% of the duck as you know is going to be cook that side down but he’s to be seed at the sides as well keep spinning it kind of 100% fat side down it goes into the oven garnish right past lips go beautifully well with duck yes oh it yes I’ve got that sort of brazed effect going on with my carrots this is a dream I’m so elided it’s giving me a lot of hope Chef Ramsey is showing me that we can do the food we love to do when we slice a duck too thin we lose the texture too thick then we’re doing it in Injustice just watching that is there anything complicated on here that you think oh god that’s way out my wheels no So Lisa your ideal job at blend would be what taking charge good yeah so you would want to cook pastries right that’s what you train for mhm good Madison what would be your perfect rooll I’d like to be on the line currently I’m just doing salads and desserts helping yeah amazing James what would you do uh same thing I grill now but I would like to do more sauté and have you been trained not in school or anything but with another Chef before I was here one’s been trained at Johnson and Wells yeah Cy Institute French French Cy I mean really seriously where did you train French oh my Lord I’m looking at four Talent individuals they got a wealth of knowledge but I’ve never had a chance to to own that that is going to change Mary this is Mary followed by Jamie come over please Jamie Alex and not now you have four the most talented females I’ve ever had the chance of working with to train each and every one of you talk about girl power James you’re the luckiest Chef in New Jersey think of it that way oh boy good luck Mary ladies good luck for me this is one of the most talented brigades I’ve come across this dictator wants to control their growth these four individuals they’ve being kept in the dark they’ve been suppressed how can a chef not develop that Talent little chili flake a little chili flake yeah while my col team works with lose Cony team I think you need a little bit more time on that I’m going to find Tara T let’s have a let’s have a little uh catch up we have a chance to talk to see if I can find out what’s really going on with this family how you feeling exhausted tough night tough day and uh the toxic relationship inside it is just insane you seem to accept and his behavior is normal no I definitely know it’s not normal it’s been too much stress to enjoy life it’s awful does he listen to you no like no I don’t want the kids to feel it I just always I just want the best for them it’s my biggest fear is just causing them TR but whether you like or not it is affecting how much quality time do you have as a family with Lou and the kids I had to bring the kids here to see them that’s not quality time I know that you bring the kids here to see their dad absolutely the guy’s on collision for a [ __ ] crash a very serious crash and what are we waiting for a heart attack shut down the staff are ready to quit how much longer can you put up with this are you [Music] [Music] happy thank you for being honest with me are you happy truely no you’ve got to stop being in denial because you may think that’s protecting him because you love him and that’s your husband but long term that’s making it worse we have to identify What’s Happening Here and we need to get him sorted out you definitely have my support in that get that bit done we’re one step in the right direction the idea of a husband and wife team working together is double strength but here it’s the opposite unless those two identify the issues there’s going to be no [Music] point how tired are you right now I’m so tired it’s exhilarating now I’m glad I ate breakfast yesterday you want to start plating your vegetables do multiple fish at a time how we doing Mar Lisa how are we doing hello Chef um little shaky but ready you know it’s like petting a bike you start slowly and then you build up and all of a sudden you go wow I can’t believe I’m going this far what we do have is four solid Cooks let’s get that absolutely clear what I’m excited to see is All of You Take Control behind the line tonight without Lou hands up who’ like Lou to be behind there with you I want to see you guys shine all right yeah okay come out yourself find that in a Spice Girl okay come on right I’ll see you back there yes yes sure Mary 2 seconds please um Havey they honestly did really well they can handle it without him back there I think they can do more than this back there great we’ll Empower them yeah and we’ll let Lou expedite that process will confirm to him what talent he’s got underneath girl now that I’m confident the kitchen staff is heading in the right path I need to take one more crack S A getting Lou on that path as well right how you feeling T how do you rate yourself as a dad I I I don’t know I’d like to think I’m a 10 I do great 10 out of 10 I’d like to think that what’s the one asset that you’d love to hand over to the girls what’s the one thing you’ve taught them work ethic work ethic have they taught you anything because if they haven’t they’re about to it would be really cool if we could spend more time together as a family if they have a fight about like working then it makes them in a bad mood that it makes me sad what I want for both of my parents is to not be as stressed as they are yeah because it’s crazy yeah even if we’re together it’s still they’re always thinking about work it’s never like we’re together whenever we are together we’re always just going so I just want us to take a nap together I would love us all to take a nap together it’s tough stuff it’s tough to see Lou I don’t know if you’ve ever told yourself but those four women love you more than anything in the world you’re lucky that they’re still there no R’s worth destroying that let me tell you yeah you never separated the restaurant from the home life what’s the blockage inside being without uh there’s something I never want to be and or have my kids without and if you get sick you can’t provide for them what happens then goes to [ __ ] I suppose what I’m trying to say Lou is you’ve got all this talent in the kitchen that’s been Dey trained M let them step up and get back to being a great dad if you can’t must that level of commitment for yourself and do it for the kids and do it for your wife got it thank you Lou I hope Lou is ready to embrace the changes he needs to make both at the restaurant and at home um this is looking Lovely by the way with the granite we don’t have to do tablecloths and it just really gives a good atmosphere the uh the Acoustics as well yeah we got the panels up on the ceiling you can really tell the difference it kind of dampens it with the renovation team hustling to beat the clock all right G I’m not going to stand here and scream I’ve got one more idea of how I can convince Lou that he has the staff Worthy of his trust let’s a briefing together let’s go to the dining room right can you stop standing like we’re in front of buck and Palace please yeah come over here stand over here come
