Kitchen Nightmares 3x14

1. Tonight on "Kitchen Nightmares," Chef Ramsey

2. heads one of the most famous places in America,

3. Bourbon Street, New Orleans.

4. But it's anything but a party at this restaurant.

5. It's run by two brothers, Mo—

6. You're the one who's supposed to be over there

7. supervising his fucking ass.

8. —and Rami—

9. Listen to what the fuck I'm telling you, you dumb-ass.

10. —who use their eatery as a battleground.

11. We're like enemies, you know, all the time bumping heads.

12. As for the food, well it's—

13. Disgusting.

14. Chef Ramsay has a steep uphill battle.

15. He is not only challenged by the head chef—

16. Step up to the fucking plate.

17. Here, this is me stepping up to the fucking plate.

18. You're woo!

19. —but one of the brothers as well.

20. Flip the table.

21. Punch me.

22. Do whatever the fuck you want to do.

23. In one of the most volatile

24. "Kitchen Nightmares" ever.

25. Anybody talks like that get chopped up and fed

26. to the fucking alligators.

27. Chef Ramsay is thoroughly frustrated.

28. How old are they? Completely disgusted.

29. And totally appalled at the state of affairs.

30. Shut it down.

31. Will brothers Moe and Rami stop the fighting

32. long enough to listen?

33. Are you stupid?

34. I am not stupid.

35. Moe, you are stupid.

36. Or will they drive Chef Ramsay away?

37. How fucking dare you?

38. That's coming up on the most explosive "Kitchen

39. Nightmares" of the year.

40. We should shut down the fucking restaurant.

41. Tonight.

42. New Orleans, Louisiana,

43. the birthplace of jazz and phenomenal Cajun creole

44. cuisine.

45. Smack in the center of town is the world

46. famous Bourbon Street, an ideal location

47. for the Oceana Restaurant.

48. In 2008, brothers Moe and Rami took

49. the reins of the restaurant from their father.

50. At Oceana we have quite a few problems.

51. All these salads in the fucking freezer?

52. Man, this is frozen.

53. Look at that.

54. I would say we need to start with Moe.

55. Yeah, I don't want your sauce on that thing, man.

56. You're the one who put the sauce on it.

57. I'm the older, I'm the wiser brother.

58. I'm the boss here and I'm the one who runs the ship.

59. I kind of want it to be a little salty

60. so they could take more liquor.

61. You really don't want to be here when

62. Moe and Rami is pissed off.

63. Moe, do me a favor.

64. Go and do what you're supposed to do.

65. Stand on the floor.

66. Moe is the biggest hothead in the world.

67. What is this?

68. They'll yell at you, fire you, and you're

69. out the door in 30 seconds.

70. You want your job or you don't want your job?

71. I want my job but this is not—

72. Listen to what the fuck I'm telling you, dumb-ass!

73. Chef Damon always making mistakes.

74. It's bland. Chef, taste that.

75. It's bland.

76. It has no fucking flavor.

77. He's not consistent with his food.

78. That's a fantastic piece of fish.

79. It's a piece of shit piece of fish.

80. There's nothing wrong with it.

81. Moe thinks that Chef Damon can't cook,

82. but I don't believe so.

83. This kitchen is a total fucking nightmare.

84. The floors are disgusting.

85. It's like water squishing everywhere

86. and like they're sticky and dirty and disgusting.

87. Nothing clean.

88. Nothing, nothing is done.

89. We have rats.

90. In front of the customers, we say bunnies because they don't

91. know what we are talking about.

92. But we're talking about a big ass rat.

93. The biggest one I've seen, about that big.

94. - That ain't counting the tail. - Big fucking deal.

95. Like you've never seen a rat in your life.

96. Do not over cook that tuna.

97. He acting like he knows what he's talking about.

98. It's going to be a challenge for Chef Ramsay

99. to make Moe change his mind or his opinion,

100. but we are absolutely in need for Chef Ramsay at this point.

101. You understand that we lost tons of money tonight?

102. I want to walk around my restaurant like a proud tiger.

103. Right now I'm not proud.

104. I need Chef Ramsay to come here and give me a hand

105. and show me the right way and the wrong way.

106. Bourbon Street, what an amazing location

107. for a restaurant, right.

108. Oceana.

109. Hello.

110. - How are you? - Great.

111. - How are you? - Good to see you.

112. So first name is— - Rami.

113. - Rami and— - Moe.

114. Moe. OK, great.

115. - Father, son? - Brothers.

116. Oh, brothers. Right.

117. I think Chef Ramsay going to love me.

118. I think Chef Ramsay going to know that I'm the real deal

119. and we gonna make things happen together.

120. You're ready to sit down?

121. Yeah.

122. Let's go and have a chat and a catch up.

123. Thank you.

124. Right this way.

125. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

126. Well, it's a long story.

127. So I can go ahead and explain it to you.

128. Please.

129. This was an addition that we added to Oceana—

130. Oh really?

131. —in the later years.

132. It is just one doorway.

133. Once you cross it, you feel like you're in a totally

134. different restaurant.

135. So it's very confusing.

136. So young hip, cool New Orleans vibe.

137. Nahleans, Chef.

138. Nahleans.

139. Nahleans.

140. Yes.

141. - Not New Orleans. - No.

142. Nahleans, how they say it locally, Nahleans.

143. This is the South. New Orleans.

144. Nobody say New Orleans.

145. If you go outside saying New Orleans,

146. people go and laugh at you.

147. So we had to educate him.

148. It's Nahleans.

149. Nahleans.

150. So, two dozen restaurants, two different identities.

151. Now it's one kitchen, two menus?

152. - Same menu. - Same menu.

153. Jesus.

154. I tried tell him we should combine the two sides, Chef,

155. but he doesn't want to understand

156. that people are confused. What happened?

157. My brother and I, we're like enemies,

158. you know, all the time bumping heads.

159. Anyway, let me have a look at the menu.

160. I'm going to eat and we'll catch up later.

161. Yeah? Thank you for the insight.

162. - Good to see you, Chef. - Likewise, good to see you too.

163. Thank you, Chef.

164. I heard Chef Ramsay is a hothead,

165. which I'm very used to.

166. My bosses are hot heads.

167. It might be a cat fight.

168. How long have you been here

169. I been here 17 months.

170. - 17 months. - Yeah.

171. Good girl. OK.

172. Who's that?

173. That is our old chef.

174. Oh, bless him. Has he died?

175. I don't know.

176. - He's just fired. - What?

177. Damn.

178. Who is that?

179. That is our old server.

180. Yes.

181. He's fired.

182. Oh, geez.

183. If they don't like you, they get rid of you.

184. That is the same with the waiting staff as well?

185. It's the same with anybody that works here.

186. Moe and Rami are very aggressive.

187. They're very intimidating, which makes

188. it hard to work with them.

189. Well, you're doing brilliant, 17 months.

190. I know.

191. I've been fired four times though.

192. You've been fired what?

193. Four times.

194. Oh, geez.

195. Four times in the last 17 months.

196. Actually, I was fired again two weeks ago.

197. Actually, I just came back.

198. I've been back like maybe two weeks.

199. - So I been fired a lot. - Welcome back.

200. Thank you.

201. So glad you're back.

202. I love your energy. Right.

203. Let's go.

204. So seafood gumbo.

205. Seafood gumbo, and what else?

206. Yeah, let's go for the crab cake platter.

207. - Platter. - And you know what?

208. I love duck.

209. The blackened bayou duck.

210. OK, great. So put my order in.

211. - Gotcha. - Please.

212. - I'll be right back. - Good to meet you.

213. Fired four times. Wow.

214. Wow. Wow.

215. Wow.

216. Listen up.

217. Chef Ramsay about to have some food.

218. OK. So I want to impress him please.

219. - All right? - Heard that.

220. Listen up.

221. Crab cake platter.

222. Blackened duck.

223. A bowl of gumbo.

224. I'm the executive chef.

225. I can do magic with food.

226. And if Chef Ramsay doesn't like our food, he's fucking crazy.

227. Enjoy.

228. Thank you.

229. Classic New Orleans gumbo.

230. Wow.

231. Oh, my god.

232. That is disgusting.

233. Chef is very disappointed.

234. Tastes old.

235. It's an embarrassment to Bourbon Street.

236. Want this? You finished?

237. Yeah.

238. That's dreadful.

239. It just tastes old. You don't like it?

240. When was that made?

241. Hmm. I believe today.

242. They smell.

243. OK.

244. Thank you.

245. Look.

246. That's the food that Chef Ramsay just had.

247. And he said the gumbo tastes old.

248. Are you serious?

249. What's the matter now?

250. The gumbo's old.

251. Hand me a spoon.

252. Let me see what's wrong with the gumbo.

253. I don't see it.

254. Tastes standard to me.

255. Now, tell me you don't taste it, Chef.

256. I think it's fantastic.

257. Chef, let me tell you one thing, baby.

258. There's nothing wrong with that shit.

259. There's nothing wrong with it.

260. Just trust me, Chef.

261. Just trust me on that one.

262. I don't think Chef Ramsay knows anything about Cajun food,

263. as a matter of fact.

264. Chef, there's the crab cakes.

265. Thank you.

266. Crab cakes.

267. Enjoy.

268. Enjoy?

269. Right now, I'm trying to live.

270. Soggy.

271. Now what is that?

272. Everything's watery, almost like it's

273. been sort of defrosted fast.

274. Yeah, not good, not good at all.

275. Are they made here, those crab cakes?

276. - Are they frozen? - No.

277. They should not be.

278. They taste frozen?

279. Yeah, it's a gloopy mass.

280. They taste dreadful.

281. - Damn. - He said the crab cakes—

282. - Oh, my. - What?

283. He said he doesn't know what he's eating.

284. Listen up. Listen up.

285. Listen!

286. The crab cakes taste frozen.

287. What?

288. And he don't think they're made in house.

289. - What? - And he got the duck.

290. So I hope he like the duck.

291. Ooh, ooh, if he complains about the duck,

292. we going to fight.

293. We— I mean, he better not complain.

294. - This is the blackened duck. - Blackened duck.

295. - Yep. - Thank you.

296. What the fuck?

297. What have they done to them?

298. I mean, it's just a mess.

299. Oh my god.

300. Duck is tough, really tough.

301. It tastes like it's been cooked for five days.

302. It's supposed to be tender.

303. Tender?

304. It's so cooked, you can't even take the meat off the bone.

305. Have a taste?

306. Please.

307. - There's nothing tender there. - Oh, yeah, it's tough.

308. Oh my god.

309. It tasted like the bottom of a shoe, hard and rubbery.

310. - I'll move it. - Thanks.

311. Thanks, darling. Move it quick.

312. Jesus.

313. Oh, my god.

314. Oh.

315. The duck is tough?

316. Look how tough the duck is.

317. You're saying it's tough?

318. It is tough, man. Cut it, look.

319. I put it—

320. He saying it's tough?

321. I'm 500 pounds, and look.

322. It is not tough.

323. The meat is tough.

324. I'm hungry and I'm going to eat it my fucking self.

325. Enjoy it then!

326. That's my favorite dish on the menu

327. and that duck is not going nowhere.

328. It's going to stay quacking on my menu.

329. I don't give a fuck if he doesn't like it.

330. This duck is so fucking good, man.

331. Uh, huh.

332. Oh my gosh.

333. No, look, that's the skin.

334. It's tough.

335. Moe doesn't get it.

336. He doesn't want to listen.

337. He still think it's tender.

338. You know what?

339. I'd like him to come back here and cook

340. it then and show me how his duck is going to look like.

341. We're going to call it the Gordon duck.

342. That's going to be a British duck right there.

343. What the hell's going on in there?

344. looking bad right now.

345. - How's it going, Chef? - They're laughing.

346. What's going on in there?

347. The food's coming back to the kitchen.

348. And they think it's a joke.

349. Um, can I met the chef?

350. Absolutely.

351. Fucking crikey.

352. Chef Ramsay is clueless.

353. You know what?

354. I really don't think that British can cook, period.

355. Chef Damon, come on.

356. I need the sous chefs.

357. Chef Ramsay needs to talk to you, please.

358. Chef Ramsay didn't like what he ordered.

359. That's Chef Damon's problem.

360. It's not a joke at this point.

361. It's serious.

362. - Damon, executive chef? - Yeah.

363. How long you been here?

364. Six and 1/2 months.

365. I don't know where to start.

366. But here's the thing.

367. The food is embarrassing.

368. No passion, no flavor.

369. The crab cakes, they weren't made fresh.

370. Do you freeze crab cakes?

371. Damon?

372. No.

373. You don't freeze them?

374. Soggy, covered in sauce.

375. Chef, I would like to step to this side, to be on your side,

376. because they do freeze the crab cakes.

377. I had to step from that line and go to Chef Ramsay's side.

378. How he's going to help us if you're lying to him?

379. Why are we lying to each other here?

380. Are they frozen, yes or no?

381. - Yes. - They are.

382. Why you wanna bullshit me?

383. I could taste they're frozen.

384. There's a good reason why we freeze the crab cakes.

385. Tell me the good reason behind freezing crab cakes.

386. Well, we don't have enough customers in here

387. to serve the crab cakes.

388. So the only thing to prevent them from going bad

389. is to freeze them.

390. Why make so many?

391. The batch is big, basically.

392. I don't understand this.

393. Why would you make a big batch?

394. Rami, fuck you.

395. You just sold me out to fucking Chef Ramsay.

396. Damon, when was the duck cooked?

397. I can't give you an answer.

398. Oh come on.

399. I mean, what the fuck is this?

400. I don't know.

401. You don't know when the duck was cooked?

402. No.

403. Do you know when the duck was cooked?

404. No, sir, I don't.

405. Do you know when the duck was cooked?

406. Holy shit!

407. I know when the fucking duck was cooked.

408. I know.

409. Well, thank fuck for that.

410. Solve the mystery.

411. We cook the duck off the premises.

412. And we usually cook it about once a month.

413. You cook the duck off the premises.

414. Yes, in our commissary kitchen.

415. And it stays in the fridge for a month?

416. - Freezer. - Oh, shit.

417. So you cook the duck, you freeze it,

418. and then you bring it in like a shipment.

419. How many fucking times do you need to say it?

420. We cook—

421. Because I'm fucking embarrassed.

422. Because you're bullshitting me because you

423. haven't got the balls to step up to the fucking plate.

424. Here, this is me, stepping up to the fucking plate.

425. Well, tell the fucking truth then.

426. What the fuck else do you need to know?

427. Ask it—

428. After eating crab cakes

429. that Chef Ramsay is convinced are frozen—

430. Do you freeze crab cakes?

431. No.

432. —Head Chef Damon denies it.

433. But owner Rami sets the record straight.

434. They do freeze the crab cakes.

435. Why you wanna bullshit me?

436. And Chef Damon has had enough

437. with the line of questioning.

438. Here, this is me, stepping up to the fucking plate.

439. Good.

440. Well, tell the fucking truth then.

441. What the fuck else do you need to know?

442. The truth.

443. Ask your fucking question, man.

444. - The truth. - You can't do that.

445. How fucking dare you?

446. You need to chill out.

447. You cannot do that.

448. He's here to help us fix the problem.

449. Do I not deserve the fucking truth?

450. I asked if they were frozen. You lied.

451. I said, when you did you cook the duck?

452. I don't know.

453. Why can't we just be honest?

454. If that's how deluded you guys are that you can't even tell

455. me the truth, I'm really sorry.

456. But I'm not here to help fucking liars.

457. Let me tell you that.

458. Do you know what?

459. I don't even know where to start.

460. Fuck me.

461. Chef Ramsay blew up like a bomb.

462. This guy just make me feel like a cockroach right now.

463. I just wished that the fucking ground would

464. just open up and swallow me.

465. I have never had my ass chewed up like this in here.

466. OK.

467. If he doesn't like the food that means we have a major problem.

468. I'm not here to impress him.

469. I'm here to impress the thousands

470. of people that like our food.

471. You're not getting the point, Chef.

472. The point is the man doesn't like the food.

473. He's not the only one who doesn't like the food.

474. You got to understand that.

475. That's a major issue we have.

476. Some asshole's opinion who doesn't like anything that we

477. have, that's not my fault.

478. I don't give a shit how long a Brit's been cooking,

479. I will whip his ass in a heartbeat with the food

480. that we serve and cook here in New Orleans.

481. White English son of a bitch.

482. After a tense beginning to his visit—

483. Welcome to Oceana.

484. —Oceana opens for dinner,

485. giving Chef Ramsay his first look at how this Bourbon

486. Street restaurant operates.

487. Who told you to put oil under there?

488. - Who?

489. —chef.

490. Chef.

491. So you spray the grill with oil?

492. Fucking shit.

493. While Chef Ramsay investigates the oyster bar—

494. Got 30 seconds on your shrimp.

495. —the kitchen is now sending food out to the diners.

496. There's a slight foul taste to the oyster.

497. With customers unsatisfied in the dining

498. room—

499. Too watery.

500. And the shrimp's kind of mushy.

501. Dish after dish is being returned to the kitchen.

502. How is that—

503. how is it bad?

504. She doesn't like it, it doesn't mean it's not fucking bad.

505. She said that—

506. I don't get— what does she want?

507. Does she want something else?

508. No, she don't want nothing else.

509. That's fine.

510. Thank you.

511. - Damn people. - Why it came back?

512. What happened?

513. Fucking taste buds.

514. That's what happened.

515. Not my fucking fault that this problem—

516. people go, oh, it's bad food.

517. I don't give a shit about bad food.

518. I made that recipe.

519. Ain't bad food.

520. Bad opinions.

521. Chef, every time somebody complain, you blame it on them,

522. instead of fixing the problem.

523. Chef, this is a hot covered.

524. A warmer unit, yes, sir.

525. It's not even hot.

526. What the fuck is that?

527. Jumbo crabs.

528. That's the crabs.

529. The crabs are all milky.

530. You're holding at barely room temperature, the most

531. dangerous position to be at.

532. Get me your brother a minute, would you please?

533. All right.

534. It's the executive chef's job to make

535. sure everything is rotated.

536. And he's not doing what he's supposed to do.

537. It's cracked. It's split.

538. Oh, my god.

539. This is—

540. It's bubbling because it means—

541. - This is sour. - It's sour.

542. - This shit is sour. - Hold on.

543. Look. Look at the color of the crabs.

544. You got to be kidding me.

545. They're not even hot.

546. I'm too disgusted to touch that.

547. I don't have fucking time to come

548. back here and check on that.

549. That's your fucking job.

550. Just to look at this shit and know, oh, my god,

551. is this what's going on in my business?

552. What's this?

553. Oh, fucking hell.

554. Ooh.

555. Oh, my.

556. Shit!

557. How old are they?

558. I don't know.

559. Just smell them.

560. Smell them.

561. Oh!

562. The smell was like ah!

563. I had no idea Chef Damon was doing such a shitty job.

564. Look at the color of them.

565. Ooh!

566. All this shit is tarnished now,

567. the whole fucking lot is tainted.

568. It's just unacceptable.

569. I mean, Chef Damon should know better.

570. He's an executive chef.

571. What the fuck is going on here?

572. We do boiled crawfish here in New Orleans.

573. They're gone.

574. On their last legs.

575. If they didn't get done by this evening,

576. we have an entire day tomorrow that we can devote to prepping

577. the things that are going.

578. So you got time tomorrow.

579. If not, we'll toss it.

580. You'll toss it.

581. And all that pasta, when was that cooked?

582. This— we did pasta this morning.

583. Today.

584. So when was all this one cooked?

585. Yesterday.

586. What?

587. I'm trying to help you to understand

588. the method in your madness.

589. Hey, asshole.

590. I'm not the one who just said it was done yesterday.

591. I asked my prep person.

592. You can call me a fucking asshole all you want.

593. So get fucking angry with me.

594. You're standing right here, hearing

595. me ask the person who knows. Yeah.

596. And I gave you his answer, not mine.

597. - Right. - So don't give me this—

598. Who's the fucking chef here?

599. —bullshit about arguing.

600. I am.

601. Bags of jambalaya in the fridge, warm.

602. Have you any idea what happens to jambalaya in the fridge

603. when it's still warm in the the center?

604. Grows the bacteria.

605. Grows the bacteria.

606. And how many crabs are you selling, Chef,

607. over the next fucking three months?

608. Lost for words, really?

609. Here's another box of crab cakes.

610. When were these made?

611. No dates, you see, Chef.

612. There was nothing but dollar signs going through my mind.

613. Soft-shell crab, jambalaya, crawfish etouffee

614. straight down the garbage.

615. Chef Damon basically just took the money

616. right out of our pockets.

617. I don't know when you think you should be taking out

618. containers and sort of cleaning out

619. your fridge from time to time.

620. One fucking question to you.

621. Who's the asshole now, Chef?

622. I am.

623. I didn't come in here to humiliate you.

624. But how dare you serve me food from this disgusting fridge

625. and just stand there and call me an asshole, Chef?

626. Excuse me, Chef.

627. Oh my fucking god.

628. How long has this been going on?

629. It's barely 30 minutes into dinner service.

630. I don't like it.

631. In the dining room, several diners

632. are unhappy with their entrees.

633. There's a pickle in her red beans.

634. And back in the kitchen,

635. Chef Ramsay's frightening investigation continues.

636. What's that in there?

637. That's for the roaches, Chef.

638. Roaches.

639. Yes, Chef.

640. That's not for the roaches.

641. That's for the mice.

642. Mice.

643. And are they in there?

644. - No, Chef. - No.

645. No.

646. See that?

647. Three dead mice.

648. Oh.

649. Oh.

650. Oh.

651. After finding a great deal of old food

652. in Oceana's kitchen—

653. The crabs are all milky.

654. Look at the color of them.

655. —Chef Ramsay now makes

656. another horrifying discovery.

657. Three dead mice.

658. Oh.

659. Enough is enough, yeah.

660. We cannot continue serving food like this.

661. Shut it down quickly.

662. Am I dreaming?

663. It's just unreal.

664. I have never, ever shut a restaurant down in my life.

665. Shut it down.

666. But hey, we have an emergency and we

667. have to do what we need to do.

668. Shut it down.

669. Shut down the restaurant.

670. There's three dead mice, yeah?

671. And I've got three fucking blind mice, one

672. chef, and two fucking owners.

673. We had an emergency and we had to shut down the kitchen.

674. And I do apologize about that.

675. Chef, we just got shut down.

676. You all happy?

677. Shut it down.

678. I lost a lot of money tonight by shutting down.

679. Come on, let's start cleaning up.

680. Y'all standing, looking at me crazy.

681. Come on, let's go.

682. I didn't have any other option.

683. The place is filthy.

684. With the restaurant now empty,

685. Chef Ramsay gets some expert help to deal

686. with the rodent problem.

687. Thank you for coming.

688. And as the exterminators get to work

689. getting rid of the mice—

690. Oh.

691. —Chef Ramsay takes a look at what else

692. needs to be cleaned in the kitchen.

693. Look at that in there.

694. Oh, my god.

695. Jesus Christ.

696. I'm looking at some stuff.

697. I'm like, what the hell is this?

698. Everything greasy.

699. Everything sticky, disgusting.

700. When was the last time you came

701. in and actually had a proper clean from top to bottom?

702. When?

703. - Never. - Never.

704. Never.

705. Get it clean, guys, yeah?

706. - Top to bottom, yeah? - That's fine.

707. That's what we're gearing up for.

708. I want everybody busting their ass.

709. I'm not trying to stay here for another two months.

710. I want this place cleaned tonight.

711. You take fucking fall because half of that bullshit

712. that is going on right now.

713. It's Chef Damon and it's my brother Rami.

714. And both of them are responsible for this.

715. But just listen, man.

716. You're the one who was supposed

717. to be over the fucking kitchen.

718. You're the one who's supposed to be over him,

719. supervising his fucking ass.

720. Now you're making everybody look like an asshole

721. because you're not here on top of your job.

722. Moe doesn't want to take the blame?

723. I'm not going to take the blame anymore.

724. That's one thing I do know.

725. It's a combination of everybody not doing

726. what they are supposed to do.

727. Are you finished, big boy?

728. Fucking right, I'm finished.

729. Fucking right, I'm finished.

730. Moe doesn't want to hear it.

731. He just keep going crazy.

732. He's going to lose it, you know?

733. Wowee.

734. What are y'all doing, sitting down doing nothing?

735. What are y'all doing?

736. What are y'all doing?

737. I need this fucking place scrubbed down top to bottom.

738. I want the TVs wiped.

739. I want the piano wiped.

740. I want this place clean.

741. What part don't you fucking understand?

742. We just shut down the fucking restaurant tonight!

743. Nobody seems to get that shit.

744. Clean this motherfucking mess!

745. Let me get a fucking shot.

746. I can't take this shit any more.

747. Moe is acting a ass right now.

748. Hurricane Moe.

749. Shh.

750. I'm just trying to stay out of his way

751. and clean up this nasty ass restaurant so I could go home.

752. Today was a wake up call for us.

753. The person running the kitchen is not up to his job.

754. He's made a lot of damages to this restaurant

755. and we're going to have to tell him he has to go.

756. Yeah, this decision should have been made a long time ago.

757. Can you please go get Chef Damon?

758. It was always my suggestion that we

759. have to let Chef Damon go, but Moe always

760. thought that he can do the job.

761. Finally, he realized that that's not the right guy for us.

762. Today was a wake up call for me.

763. Chef Ramsay came here and he went to the back

764. and he pointed all the bad things that were going on.

765. Right now, I feel like you are part of this problem.

766. How can you not know that you're not

767. supposed to put the jambalaya while it's hot in the walk-in?

768. How can you not know that?

769. You're an executive chef.

770. How can you not know that? Can you explain?

771. I do. I didn't do it.

772. Our prep people did it.

773. I didn't realize they had done it

774. and I've coached them repeatedly to not do that.

775. Chef, the problem is excuses.

776. Every time I tell you we have an issue,

777. you just hit me with nothing but excuses.

778. And I'm at a point where I cannot

779. afford to take any excuses.

780. Do you understand that?

781. Do you understand, we cannot afford

782. to have any more fuck ups.

783. Today we've lost about five grand.

784. We shut down the restaurant tonight

785. because of the kitchen issues!

786. Do you understand that?

787. It's a problem.

788. And right now, you're the one who caused the problem.

789. Do you understand that?

790. Today I made a decision.

791. With all due respect, Chef, today is your last day

792. at the restaurant.

793. Thank you.

794. Thank you, Chef.

795. After discovering a disgusting kitchen,

796. Chef Ramsay returns the next morning to inspect

797. the state of the restaurant.

798. This restaurant is actually clean today.

799. Make sure that's dry before you get any oil in there, yeah?

800. Look at this.

801. I feel like sleeping on it.

802. And Moe and Rami have some important news

803. to share with Chef Ramsay.

804. I fired Chef Damon officially yesterday.

805. Any chef in his own mind would have gracefully handed

806. the towel in and resigned.

807. Right.

808. Moving forward, I'm going to do some work in the kitchen.

809. Do you have any recipes on pen and paper?

810. Right here.

811. What?

812. Right here.

813. So why aren't they on paper?

814. Why haven't we got a database?

815. I like to keep my recipes secret.

816. If I put them on the piece of paper,

817. I don't want somebody to steal them.

818. Fucking hell.

819. Oh, Jesus Christ.

820. So you're worried that somebody gets the recipe and copies it.

821. Anybody change my recipe, I'm going to kill them.

822. It's my recipe.

823. Rami, help me out here, will you?

824. Is this for real?

825. That's what we deal with every day, Chef.

826. You think it's funny, but believe what I tell you.

827. I don't think it's funny.

828. You're just a little bit deluded.

829. Well, you know what?

830. The recipes are in my head.

831. Are you stupid?

832. I am not stupid.

833. Moe, you are stupid.

834. The kitchen absolutely doesn't know

835. what the fuck to cook because the recipe is in Moe's head.

836. It's crazy.

837. Don't call me stupid in my fucking restaurant.

838. Do you understand that you need to learn how to talk to people?

839. This is New Orleans.

840. You understand?

841. - Wow. - This is New Orleans.

842. Don't fucking come down here talking to us like that.

843. Calm down.

844. I have never been chewed up like you chewed me up, never.

845. Right.

846. We got nothing but swamps around here.

847. Anybody talks like that gets chopped up and fed

848. to the fucking alligators.

849. I'm not hear to blow smoke up your fucking ass.

850. Let me tell you that.

851. I'm here to fix this restaurant.

852. But you are one obstacle, aren't you?

853. No, I'm an easy going guy.

854. I listen.

855. I work hard.

856. But you are a busy idiot.

857. I don't think he gets it that he needs to watch his language.

858. But you're not getting that he's here to help us.

859. I'm not calling him an idiot.

860. He's calling me an idiot.

861. A busy idiot.

862. A busy idiot?

863. You're working hard in the wrong places.

864. What am I—

865. I mean, I feel like flipping the fucking table right now.

866. Did you hear what he just said?

867. He just explained it.

868. He just told you.

869. You're working hard in the wrong places.

870. Busy idiot?

871. Is he kidding me?

872. I will stand up, beat the fuck out of him

873. and show him who the fucking idiot is.

874. What is it you want?

875. To fight?

876. My problem is, I want to make—

877. To flip the table?

878. I want to make this restaurant successful.

879. That's my problem.

880. OK.

881. So do I. I'm here to help.

882. I don't want to see you running around killing

883. yourself like a busy idiot.

884. I've just got over the fact that we

885. haven't got any recipes on paper and they're all in your head.

886. You're worried about writing them down for some other chef

887. copying them and making their restaurant

888. more successful than yours.

889. I'm in the real world.

890. That's where I am.

891. You're treating me like one of your fucking staff.

892. Well, let me tell you, Moe, I'm not a member of your staff.

893. Flip the table.

894. Punch me.

895. Do whatever the fuck you want to do.

896. But don't fuck with me.

897. Got it?

898. Got it.

899. Thank you.

900. See you later.

901. He's not understanding that this guy can

902. make a difference in our life.

903. He's British.

904. Busy idiot over there means something

905. totally different over here.

906. A busy idiot, I think is a good thing.

907. That means you're working hard in the wrong places.

908. Busy idiot is a compliment?

909. It's a compliment.

910. He's from British.

911. He doesn't speak English.

912. I know busy idiot is not a compliment,

913. but I had to calm Moe down.

914. Well, he needs to understand that busy idiot in America

915. is an insult.

916. OK, busy idiot is a good thing.

917. I had to tell him it's a compliment so we can move on.

918. Because other than that, he's going

919. to keep on going at it with Chef Ramsay

920. and we're not going to go nowhere.

921. Let's— can we move on?

922. - We can move on. - OK.

923. I'm like, you know what?

924. I should have brought a fucking British dictionary.

925. It took me a long fucking time to learn my language.

926. How long is it going to take me—

927. I mean, that's the last thing I want is

928. just to learn fucking British.

929. Without any recipes to look over—

930. What I'm going to do is a very simple, fresh blackened salmon.

931. —Chef Ramsay jumps into the kitchen

932. and begins to work with the staff on revamping the menu.

933. Squeeze a fresh lime on top.

934. Beautiful baked sweet potato mash.

935. Chef Ramsay was here and he was on our stove, like cooking.

936. I was like, oh, all right, Chef, what's going on?

937. I was just blown away.

938. And finish it off with a little streusel, yeah?

939. It's wonderful.

940. After a number of conflicts with Moe,

941. Chef Ramsay wants to make sure that both brothers

942. are completely on board with the changes

943. he's about to implement.

944. OK, listen to me.

945. This place is broken and it needs

946. a massive overhaul rapidly.

947. I'm prepared to come up with solutions, work my balls off.

948. However, I will not go forward, unless you are

949. prepared to accept my changes.

950. I'm prepared.

951. So basically you're going to change whatever the fuck

952. you want to change, and I don't have

953. the right to say a word to it?

954. Correct.

955. You know what?

956. Yes.

957. I agree.

958. I feel like I'm ready to cooperate now.

959. Good.

960. I'm pleased to hear it.

961. I'm going to shut my fucking mouth because obviously

962. my way is not working.

963. So I'm going to let Chef Ramsay handle it

964. and I'm going to just be 100% cooperative.

965. Good night.

966. Good night, Chef.

967. I don't want a hug from you.

968. Thank you.

969. I'm about to kiss this fucking restaurant goodbye

970. because I may come back tomorrow and not

971. see it where it's at right now.

972. My God.

973. Listen, man.

974. It just hit me real hard.

975. Did we just agree with him to change

976. whatever he's going to change?

977. Yes, we're good.

978. Go home.

979. Go get you some rest.

980. After Moe and Rami confirmed

981. that they were willing to accept change—

982. Oh, my god.

983. My stomach is flipping.

984. —Chef Ramsay had his team work through the night,

985. transforming Oceana.

986. OK, good morning.

987. Chef, good morning.

988. Oh, Chef, wow.

989. I told Chef Ramsay that I'm

990. going to do whatever he says.

991. But if I don't like the changes, I'll send them back to British

992. with a black eye.

993. Excited?

994. Very excited.

995. Moe, ready to see your new restaurant?

996. Wow.

997. OK.

998. Take your blindfolds off.

999. Oh, wow.

1000. It's beautiful.

1001. Oh, my god.

1002. Look at the marble bar.

1003. Welcome to a classy, unique feel.

1004. Oh, my god, look at this.

1005. Custom artwork, new marble, the chandeliers.

1006. It oozes New Orleans.

1007. Beautiful.

1008. You're no longer in a fishbowl.

1009. We've decluttered the entrance.

1010. Now, it feels spacious and welcoming.

1011. Let's go into the other dining room.

1012. Look at this.

1013. Oh, my god. Wow.

1014. Wow.

1015. Beautiful.

1016. Looks huge.

1017. Doesn't it?

1018. We painted it. Pots have gone.

1019. The sign is gone.

1020. So both dining rooms look connected.

1021. Wow.

1022. It looks like one restaurant.

1023. Very happy, Chef.

1024. I've been waiting for this moment and it finally happened.

1025. The whole place looked like one restaurant.

1026. And hopefully, Moe is going to like it.

1027. You happy, Moe?

1028. Oh, man, this is great.

1029. I mean, I am speechless.

1030. Good.

1031. I love it when you're speechless.

1032. I'm so excited right now, I'm feeling

1033. like a proud fucking tiger.

1034. I can't wait till everybody comes here and checks this out.

1035. While the new decor has been embraced

1036. by the brothers, it's time for Chef Ramsay

1037. to introduce another big change, the menu.

1038. All right, let's start off down on the end, seafood gumbo.

1039. That is absolutely stunning.

1040. A nice fresh crab cake, heated with the Tabasco.

1041. We got the jambalaya.

1042. We have chicken andouille sausage and shrimp.

1043. This is the real fucking jambalaya.

1044. That looks good.

1045. Delicious.

1046. Blackened duck served with dirty rice and wild mushrooms.

1047. Is this my new duck?

1048. That is your new duck.

1049. Dive in.

1050. That is delicious.

1051. Wow.

1052. That duck is outstanding.

1053. I like that duck.

1054. I'm going to have to divorce my old food.

1055. This is the best food I've ever seen.

1056. I really cannot wait tonight till we open,

1057. bring the people in, and give them a taste of New Orleans.

1058. That's what I'm talking about.

1059. It's moments away from relaunch and everyone

1060. seems ready to go.

1061. There's just one problem.

1062. Where's Moe?

1063. We have a big night tonight and he's not here tonight.

1064. Moe is nowhere to be found.

1065. Could you call him?

1066. Moe needs to be around but he thinks

1067. that since he's the owner of the restaurant he can do whatever.

1068. Yeah.

1069. I don't if you know, but your restaurant

1070. is launching tonight.

1071. Are you upstairs in bed?

1072. I'm coming down.

1073. Wait for me.

1074. Jesus.

1075. With Moe back at the restaurant—

1076. Oh, Jesus, let's go in the kitchen have a quick meeting.

1077. —Chef Ramsay is determined

1078. to ensure that the relaunch will be a success.

1079. So he has called upon three of his chefs

1080. to support the kitchen staff.

1081. My team will be getting your team up to speed.

1082. Tonight we've got big time top chefs in our kitchen,

1083. training our staff how the new menu is going to be cooked.

1084. Tonight is about getting it right

1085. and get it set up for the future.

1086. Yes, Chef.

1087. Let's go, guys.

1088. Come on in.

1089. For tonight's dinner service,

1090. the brothers are in their regular positions,

1091. with Rami supervising the kitchen—

1092. Everything is fresh?

1093. Yes, sir.

1094. —and Moe running the front of the house.

1095. Welcome. Come on in.

1096. This looks fantastic.

1097. How you doing?

1098. Good to see you.

1099. For you, sir?

1100. I'm just going to get the combo platter

1101. with the oysters fried with it.

1102. I'll have the jambalaya.

1103. Look, I need a side of sweet mashed and a side of greens.

1104. Can you do that for me?

1105. Yeah.

1106. How long on that shrimp po' boy?

1107. One minute.

1108. 53, OK?

1109. 53.

1110. Thank you.

1111. It's going real, real, real, real, real, real, real good.

1112. - Rami. - Chef.

1113. Look at the difference in the food coming out.

1114. It's great.

1115. The difference is great.

1116. Comes at a price, but it's worth the effort.

1117. Watch the fire. Watch the fire.

1118. I don't want anybody burning their hands.

1119. What's Moe doing in the kitchen?

1120. Moe is supposed

1121. to be walking around the dining room, greeting people.

1122. But he doesn't do what he's supposed

1123. to do half of of the time, most of the time, matter of fact.

1124. Why does he always pick on me, man?

1125. I don't know.

1126. We're relaunching your restaurant now

1127. and the customers are coming in.

1128. Get out there and welcome your customers

1129. to the new restaurant.

1130. OK, well, tell me that from the beginning.

1131. Talk to me in English and I'll do it.

1132. You keep speaking that foreign language.

1133. I can't get that foreign shit.

1134. How you doing?

1135. Come on in.

1136. It's an hour into dinner service.

1137. - Thank you. - My pleasure.

1138. Y'all all enjoy yourselves.

1139. This is so good.

1140. And customers are enjoying

1141. the new menu at Oceana.

1142. How we looking? How we looking?

1143. How we looking? How we looking?

1144. How we looking?

1145. But the back in the kitchen,

1146. Moe seems more concerned about the speed

1147. of the food than anything else.

1148. Table 51, how long has it been in for?

1149. 10 minutes.

1150. What are they doing back there?

1151. What's taking so long?

1152. Food takes time to cook. Do you understand?

1153. I understand.

1154. Yeah, for a man who loves duck coming out of a bag— we

1155. can't just throw out of a bag.

1156. It's cooked to order, yeah?

1157. Man, leave me the fuck alone. It's my restaurant.

1158. I do what the fuck I want.

1159. Like right now, I'm going to take a break.

1160. Where's Moe?

1161. You going?

1162. You wouldn't know what stress is if it hit you in the face.

1163. So Moe's gone.

1164. In the middle of service, he just disappears.

1165. Vanished, yeah?

1166. Just gone.

1167. I am very frustrated right now.

1168. Moe cannot be walking out on a night like this.

1169. Like Chef Ramsay say, fuck me.

1170. It may be relaunch night at Oceana—

1171. —but Moe has decided that he needs a break.

1172. In the middle of service he just disappears.

1173. Vanished, yeah?

1174. Just gone.

1175. It's very frustrating when Moe walk out.

1176. He's used to have a slow restaurant.

1177. He was able to walk out.

1178. However, tonight, it was different.

1179. We were busy.

1180. He should've never left.

1181. Moe.

1182. You have a responsibility.

1183. Where are you going?

1184. I'm taking a little break.

1185. We're still sending entrees.

1186. You've been stressing me out since day one.

1187. I've got to put my head together.

1188. Quit following me everywhere I go.

1189. Wow.

1190. What a fucking fruitcake.

1191. - Hey, guys. - Yes, Chef?

1192. It's not going to be easy.

1193. Step up to the plate tonight.

1194. Yes?

1195. Finish strong, yeah?

1196. Got to work together.

1197. How long on the pasta?

1198. I need rice on line.

1199. - 31, sir. - That's it.

1200. Keep it going, guys. Let's go.

1201. While Moe was on his break,

1202. the kitchen staff doesn't skip a beat, as they work hard to push

1203. out the final entrees.

1204. Three tickets to go, guys.

1205. And the remaining dishes reach the dining room.

1206. This tastes good.

1207. It actually has good flavor.

1208. And other than Moe's unusual absence—

1209. - He's not back yet? - No.

1210. Wow.

1211. —relaunch night is a success.

1212. Well done.

1213. Chef Ramsay's menu is amazing.

1214. It was fresh.

1215. Everything was coming out on time.

1216. Everything was awesome.

1217. Good job.

1218. Enjoy your break?

1219. I'm way more relaxed now.

1220. I'm way more happy.

1221. You look a little stressed.

1222. I don't relax and let my guard down until that last customer

1223. has left.

1224. If I start joking around and jumping outside,

1225. standards just drop, instantly.

1226. I don't know what Chef Ramsay's fucking deal is.

1227. He always picks on me.

1228. I went outside to take a little break.

1229. What's the big deal?

1230. I'm not a little baby.

1231. OK.

1232. How are you feeling?

1233. Pleased you are, yes?

1234. Yes.

1235. You worked very hard.

1236. - Thank you. - How are you feeling?

1237. I have mixed feelings.

1238. Your mixed feelings are what?

1239. How about we go get a drink on Bourbon Street

1240. and talk about it?

1241. Are you kidding me?

1242. No.

1243. Moe, I am seriously concerned.

1244. Even before our dinner service was over,

1245. you were nowhere to be seen.

1246. I had to take a break.

1247. Don't you take breaks?

1248. You loosen up a little bit.

1249. You'll be more open minded.

1250. Moe, don't be scared of change.

1251. Embrace it.

1252. And keep your standards high.

1253. Chef Ramsey gave us a new menu,

1254. new atmosphere, new everything.

1255. But I'm very concerned that Moe want to go back to old ways.

1256. OK.

1257. I'm done.

1258. You're leaving already?

1259. Yes.

1260. Wow.

1261. Look after your little brother.

1262. Good night.

1263. Good night, Chef.

1264. He's crazy.

1265. You want to go have a little drink?

1266. No.

1267. You don't want to have a drink?

1268. I have to clean up.

1269. Moe thinks that running a restaurant on Bourbon Street

1270. is all about having a good time, when

1271. it should be about dedication and striving for success.

1272. That's why I'm not sure that Oceana will be here next year

1273. when I come back.

1274. Wow.

1275. I've got all the recipes inside my head.

1276. Unbelievable.

1277. You two muppets have to start working together.

1278. What do you think, you fucking donut?

1279. And we're gonna start balancing the plates

1280. like you're on fucking "America's Got Talent."

1281. Well, I think I've got an explosion

1282. in my asshole coming.

1283. Shit my boots.

1284. Go fuck yourself, OK?

1285. That's very kind.

1286. Thank you so much.

1287. - We're your fans. - Christ.

1288. I didn't realize my demographics were that old.

1289. Nice to see you.

1290. We have homemade meatballs!

1291. Welcome, welcome.

1292. We've got homemade meatballs.
