Kitchen Nightmares 3x4

1. It's been a year since Chef Ramsay

2. crisscrossed the country tryingto save restaurants in trouble.

3. I want the nightmare to be over.

4. They may have asked for his help,

5. but that didn't stop themfrom fighting with Gordon—

6. Adele, what do you think?

7. I don't like it.

8. —and each otherevery step of the way.

9. I need your smile.

10. I'll be right out.

11. Now, one yearlater, Chef Ramsay is back

12. asking the tough questions.

13. Do you still hate me?

14. You think this is going well?

15. Is there any possibility thatyou may get back together?

16. Get ready for a nightof surprises as Chef Ramsay

17. finds out what happened to—

18. Disgusting.

19. —the restaurantshe tried to save.

20. First, we'll return to Mojito's in Brooklyn—

21. Do it, do it, do it now.

22. —owned by a former couple who

23. were at war with each other.

24. Mojito's destroyed our lives.

25. And we'llcheck in on the Junction,

26. formerly known as Flamangos, in rural New Jersey—

27. We know.

28. Shut your mouth, already.

29. —run by a stubbornowner completely resistant

30. to change.

31. I hate it.

32. How can you be positiveabout something you hate?

33. And lastly, we'llget updated on the Bazzini's

34. in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

35. This is where Paul the owner fought with his staff—

36. Why you have to make it so difficult for?

37. What the fuck you want from me?

38. —and did littleto impress Chef Ramsay.

39. Whether you like it or not, you have given up.

40. Tonight, we will see it all—

41. who is living the dream, andwho turned their kitchen back

42. into a nightmare.

43. Oh, come on.

44. Do you think I'm going to change now?

45. Last year, my team and I worked

46. tirelessly across the country, turning restaurants around.

47. Tonight we'll let you in on how they're doing.

48. Before that, let's take alook back at what happened

49. when I first arrived at Mojito.

50. Brooklyn is a hip, trendy, diverse burrough of New York.

51. It's the perfect place for a Cuban restaurant,

52. unless that restauranthappens to be called Mojito.

53. Run by a divorced couple at war with each other.

54. Marcelo, why don't you listen to me?

55. Kata runsthe front of the restaurant.

56. Marcelo runs the kitchen.

57. But they spend most of theirtime running their mouths.

58. Do it, do it, do it now.

59. What a mess.

60. Seven years in the business, and all that to show for it

61. was a failed marriage and a huge mountain of debt.

62. Zero.

63. Mojito's destroyed our lives.

64. Sorry.

65. When I first walked in,

66. I knew straight away I had my work cut out.

67. A real interesting decor.

68. It's almost like a sortof garage sale gone wrong.

69. The toxic relationship between Kata and Marcelo

70. poisoned everything at Mojito, even the food.

71. These are so salty.

72. You'd need six mojitos before you started

73. eating six spoons of that.- You're right.

74. They're disgusting.

75. Excuse me.

76. I'll take this back.

77. Marcelo, the beans, salty as hell.

78. Throw it out.

79. Get it together, Marcelo.

80. Control.

81. Listen, I can't control everything.

82. Take a spoon, and you taste everything.

83. I'm gonna taste. I'm gonna taste.

84. No.

85. Throw them out.

86. Exchange them for new ones.

87. Instead of arguing, do it, do it, do it now.

88. Bitch.

89. Let me just tell you something.

90. Lunch was a disaster.

91. I could hear a lot of shouting.

92. Is that normal?

93. That's all we hear every day. Every single day.

94. Kata is always pushing me.

95. Checking your performance.

96. You're not my boss.

97. Maybe they're really nervous.

98. So when I came back for dinnerservice, I kept an open mind.

99. Unfortunately, things were no different.

100. It actually got worse.

101. Who made this?

102. You guys should know better.

103. How can you allow food tocome out like that, nasty.

104. Negative, negative.

105. It was like soggy, and it was flat underneath.

106. It's not crispy.

107. It's not crispy.

108. It's supposed to be nicer.

109. Honestly, after all that fighting,

110. I was getting a headache.

111. So I decided to go downstairs and take

112. a good look around the storage.

113. What I found was absolutely shocking.

114. That is what you call dry chicken.

115. There must be thousands of thousands

116. of dollars worth of food here.

117. After the last unhappy customer left—

118. We'll never come here again.

119. —I thendecided to call a meeting

120. and really give them a big wake up call.

121. I've never seen such waste in my entire life.

122. There's seven of these down there.

123. Seven.

124. This is rapidly shutting down the restaurant.

125. Mojito was a mess.

126. And nothing was going to changeuntil Kata and Marcelo really

127. put their differences aside.

128. The next morning, I pulled themeach aside to have a real heart

129. to heart with them.

130. The restaurant's sufferingon the back of both you

131. constantly hurting each other.

132. And it's so sad.

133. It's embarrassing.

134. Do you think it's time that one of you

135. says goodbye to the business?

136. I think it would be very healthy.

137. How important is the business for you?

138. It's everything for me.

139. The person that I was married to,

140. that person doesn't exist anymore.

141. He's gone.

142. And I have to move on.

143. So I'm taking care of my business

144. because that's all I have left.

145. Whatever it takes, I've got to be

146. in, until I feel that there'snothing else that I can do.

147. I'm committed.

148. OK.

149. Thank you.

150. Come here.

151. Stay strong.

152. Finally, there was hope for the future.

153. With that in mind, my team and I spent

154. all night renovating Mojito.

155. Welcome to Mojito's, the new Mojito's.

156. Yes.

157. Doesn't it feel twice as big.

158. Hello, Cuba.

159. The first thing that's gone missing

160. are the 500 bottles that were stopping

161. all that natural light.

162. Oh, that's beautiful.

163. Take a look atwhere your bottles have gone.

164. Kata, what do you think?

165. This is amazing.

166. Today is the beginning of a new

167. chapter inside Mojito's.

168. Thank you.

169. You little firecracker.

170. Then I unveiled the new menu.

171. Look at the difference in the portion size.

172. It's a lot less, but visually it's beautiful.

173. For relaunch night, Kata and Marcelo

174. decided to work out the front of house together

175. and leave the kitchen to Eduardo.

176. You convinced you can do it?

177. Yeah.

178. Cuban sandwich, OK.

179. What came back?

180. This because the order

181. of Cuban sandwich. GORDON RAMSAY: Not the pork?

182. Not the pork.

183. Look at me now.

184. You've got to call out the fucking orders.

185. Eduardo was getting flustered.

186. Orders were coming back to the kitchen.

187. Guys, F5 is missing a Cuban.

188. Bloody hell.

189. The new Mojito started tolook a lot like the old one.

190. Then Marcelo—

191. I have to do something.

192. —jump straight back intothe kitchen and took charge.

193. We're concentrating.

194. Brilliant.

195. Thank you.

196. My buddy.

197. Kata and me working together well again.

198. How is everything here?

199. Delicious.

200. They loved everything.

201. Yeah, baby.

202. Yeah.

203. Tonight wasn't perfect, but I did see one

204. thing that I haven't witnessed.

205. And that was teamwork.

206. Well done.

207. It feels great to see Marcelo smile.

208. It just sort of right in my heart.

209. I need you to continue.

210. You are the heart of that.

211. I'm going to do everythingthat it takes to make it work.

212. You guys work well together.

213. Tonight proved that.

214. Don't stop.

215. You'd be mad to.

216. Come on, my darling.

217. I'm back at Mojito in Brooklyn, New York City.

218. Now, if you came here last year, you

219. would have been served dreadfulfood by bickering owners.

220. We made a lot of changes and brought

221. the owners finally together.

222. I'm just hoping it paid off.

223. We're about to find out.

224. Up next, have the ex-lovers

225. patched up their differences?

226. She treated you like a partner,

227. not like you're her bitch.

228. Or are they drivingMojito's back into bankruptcy?

229. Then Flamangos was ChefRamsay's toughest assignment.

230. That's not cooking.

231. That's dog shit.

232. Remember the outbursts?

233. Shut your mouth already.

234. The fire?

235. How can you be positiveabout something you hate?

236. Hate, hate.

237. Now get ready forround two of Gordon vs. Adele.

238. Oh, my god.

239. It's the rematchcoming up on "Kitchen

240. Nightmares Revisited."

241. Mojito, a Cuban restaurant in Brooklyn,

242. was run by a former couple who seemed

243. more interested in feudingthan the restaurant.

244. Go out here.

245. I'm not going out.

246. Go out here.

247. Go out of my kitchen, now.

248. It was a big challenge.

249. But Chef Ramsay revamped the restaurant

250. and unified Kata and Marcelo.

251. Now one year later, is Mojito'senjoying peace and prosperity?

252. Or is it back to its old bickering ways?

253. Last time I was at Mojito, the food was dreadful

254. and the business was going down the tubes.

255. Nothing was going to changeunless Kata and Marcelo

256. stopped all that fighting.

257. It took a lot of tears, but theyfinally became an amazing team.

258. I just hope they've kept it up.

259. Hello.

260. Kata, how are you?

261. Welcome back to Mojito.

262. We're wonderful.

263. Good to see you.

264. Sounds great.

265. Atmosphere is up.

266. Seeing Gordon waslike seeing an old friend.

267. Has a very special place inmy heart, in Mojito's heart.

268. Silly question, because it looks busy, but how

269. - his business? - Business is great.

270. - Where shall we sit? - Here

271. OK, great.

272. Great, great, great.

273. Good to see you.

274. My god, I forgot how glamorous you were.

275. Now, it's working together professionally?

276. - Yes. - And who's in control?

277. Who's wearing the trousers?

278. You or him?

279. Well, we both do.

280. It's like give and take.

281. You know, and now we'relike, we're really partners

282. and we're really working outand respecting each other,

283. and respecting each other's work and commitment.

284. And we're reallycommitted to make it work.

285. Business is up by how much?

286. 30%.

287. That's brilliant.

288. Business has gotten a lot better.

289. We paid off half our debts.

290. So it looks a lot better.

291. Six months, we areestimated to be out of debt.

292. I mean, that's amazing.

293. Yes.

294. Marcelo, where is he?

295. He's in the kitchen.

296. I'm so excited to come back.

297. You know that.

298. I'll go and surprise him.

299. OK.

300. Nice to see you.

301. Chef.

302. Senor.

303. Good to see you.

304. - Me too, my man. - You look great.

305. You look happy.

306. Yes.

307. Not just because I'm here.

308. You're like this on a daily basis—

309. motivated, fired up, and ready to go, yeah?

310. Your relationship with Katais on a professional front.

311. In the professional way, I'm more relaxed.

312. She treats you like a partner, not like you're her bitch.

313. Just serve the rice. Serve the rice.

314. Marcelo, why don't you listen to me?

315. She's showing you respect.

316. All the time.

317. Purchasing?

318. There must be thousands and thousands

319. of dollars' worth of food here.

320. Are you buying the stuff now?- Yeah.

321. Oh, Jesus. Where is it?

322. - You want to check?- Yeah, I want to have a check.

323. Yeah, please.

324. After you.

325. Look how clean this is down here.

326. Now these fridges are full.

327. I was kind of afraid because I have

328. But this is because mybusiness is coming up a lot.

329. Listen, not just the labels, the dates.

330. The plastic wrap.

331. Everything's so well organized.

332. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

333. Last time I came down here, it was in a mess.

334. Right. I'm hungry.

335. What would you recommend for lunch?

336. I'm going to surprise you.

337. I like your surprises.

338. How was your visit down stairs?

339. Brilliant. Clean down there.

340. Impressive, right?

341. The good news is it soundslike he's got his passion back.

342. And he seems a lot more relaxed, less—

343. Less aggressive and jumpy?

344. Yeah.

345. We're working there.

346. OK.

347. Wow.

348. That's like the kind offlavors that I like to eat.

349. Fantastic.

350. That's delicious.

351. What happens when an argument takes place

352. and you're not happy with Marcelo

353. and he's not happy with youand you want to let it go?

354. We call our peace maker, which is my mom.

355. She works hand to hand with Marcelo.

356. Mommy.

357. This is your mum?

358. How are you?

359. Nice to meet you.

360. My goodness me.

361. - Sit down, please. - That's my mom.

362. Wow, wow, wow.

363. So this has been the secretof success behind Mojito.

364. Yes.

365. Does she understand thelevel of you stubbornness?

366. She does.

367. I don't need to translate that.

368. I don't know why Gordon said that I'm stubborn.

369. If I want to scream, I can do it.

370. I'm the boss here.

371. Remember who I am.

372. - Oh, food is here. - Sit down.

373. Sit down. Sit down.

374. I want to talk to you.

375. At this time, I'm really, really nervous.

376. Because I know these arereally, really high standards.

377. Delicious food, by the way.

378. I mean, really delicious.

379. He like it.

380. He really enjoyed the food, so great.

381. Here's the thing, to get rid of your debts

382. by 50% in the first 12 months of trading

383. in amongst a recession is extraordinary.

384. 99% of break down in relationships

385. is always financially related.

386. With the pressure gone, isthere any possibility that you

387. might get back together?

388. I know he tries.

389. He plays our relationship therapist.

390. Because you look so happy together.

391. When Gordon Ramsay comeshere, we feel like nostalgic

392. about our relation.

393. But the heart and the feelings are

394. completely different in ways.

395. What went wrong when you got back together?

396. I think we havedifferent kinds of lifestyles.

397. And I think it's best to take our separate ways.

398. Last time I came, what was the worst moment?

399. When things were like out of control.

400. Salty as hell.

401. Throw it out.

402. My worse moment is when you come with a lot

403. of chicken and avocados.

404. You've got enough food down there

405. to serve a banquet of 5,000.

406. I'm very proud of you both.

407. You deserve more.

408. So just continue.

409. One step at a time, you know?

410. Yes.

411. Good to see all three of you.- Wonderful.

412. If Ramsay didn't come to the Mojito,

413. we'd probably be out of business.

414. Take care of him.

415. We didn't have a clear vision.

416. Thank you.

417. The most value I learned from Ramsay

418. is I recover the passion for my job.

419. Thank you.

420. Ciao.

421. I'm so proud of these two.

422. Honestly, they managed toturn around a dying business

423. in the middle of a recession.

424. They're out of debt.

425. And they've managed to move on from the past.

426. Right now the future for Mojito's

427. looks very, very bright indeed.

428. Great news.

429. Coming up, we goback to Whitehouse Station, New

430. Jersey where Adele theowner battled with her staff

431. and disagreed with Chef Ramsay.

432. Adele, what do you think?

433. I don't like it.

434. Now one year later, has she embraced the changes?

435. Are you nicer to your staff now?

436. Am I nicer to you?

437. Or is this kitchen nightmare

438. still spinning out of control?

439. And later, remember Paul from Bazzini's?

440. I'm miserable.

441. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning.

442. You'll be shocked to see what

443. happens when Gordon returns.

444. That's all coming up on'Kitchen Nightmares Revisited."

445. Whitehouse Station,

446. New Jersey is a quiet commuter town

447. one hour outside Manhattan.

448. Everything's just so damn quiet and peaceful.

449. That is, until you got near Flamangos.

450. We have big problems here.

451. Girls!

452. There was the owner, Adele,

453. who was dead set in her ways.

454. Shut your mouth already.

455. This was a family affair.

456. Adele and her husband Billhad run successful restaurants

457. in the past.

458. But they opened this one so they could work

459. with their daughter Cheryl.- Chop chop.

460. My first stop on this trip wasto Bill and Adele's farmhouse.

461. Hello.

462. Now, do you just popover for a slice of cake?

463. No.

464. I live here.

465. You live here?

466. Yes.

467. How old are you?

468. I'm 42 years old.

469. Same age as me.

470. I left mum 24 years ago.

471. What are you still doing here?

472. I haven't had a paycheck in two years.

473. I have to live at home.

474. It's pretty shocking for a 42-year-old

475. lady to still living at home.

476. Wow.

477. But even more shocking was the decor.

478. Oh, my god.

479. It's like a zoo in here.

480. Well, it is tropical.

481. Who designed it?

482. My daughter decorated it.

483. How drunk was she when sheput the final sketches together?

484. I could see we had plenty ofproblems to fix at Flamangos.

485. And I was really hoping thefood wasn't one of them.

486. Fat chance.

487. What is that thing?

488. This is a roof tile.

489. We're eating it from the tile.

490. You'll love this.

491. That is the toughest filet mignon I've

492. ever tasted in my entire life.

493. I was pissed off.

494. I went straight to the kitchento confront the chef Brian.

495. Straight up, would you eat it?

496. No.

497. You sent it to me.

498. That's not cooking.

499. That's dog shit.

500. That night I observed dinner service.

501. And it became so obvious to whythis restaurant was failing—

502. bad food, slow service, and a very

503. stubborn owner who treatedher customers and her staff

504. like dogs.

505. Shut your mouth already.

506. Absolute crazy.

507. And then there was poor Bill.

508. Here I go.

509. You've got a 70-year-oldman going around

510. and around the dining room.

511. He shouldn't be doing this at this pace.

512. From what I saw at dinner service,

513. I knew they had to do somethingthey've never done before—

514. have a staff meeting.

515. Well, Isabel, you're an excellent server.

516. But you don't fricking listen.

517. I know what the F I'm doing.

518. You don't know when to shut up.

519. The next morning, I wanted Bill to get back

520. in touch with something that really made

521. him successful in the past.

522. What is your favorite dish to cook?

523. My meatloaf.

524. Tonight you're going to cook that.

525. I would never order meatloaf out.

526. Never.

527. Adele, the owner, was fighting

528. me every step of the way.

529. That night the customersreally loved Bill's special.

530. But the dishes on the old menu, bombed.

531. I'll bring the owner over.

532. Adele, they want to speak with you.

533. OK, complaints, what are they?

534. It's dry.

535. Dry, so you don't want it.

536. Dry and overdone.

537. Bastard.

538. The amazing thing iseven though the restaurant

539. was going under, everyone was still

540. clinging on to the old ways.

541. That's when I knew I had todo something really drastic.

542. Everybody, stand up, grab achair from the drawing room,

543. and follow me.

544. Let's go.

545. Oh, hold on.

546. No.

547. What do you mean, no?

548. That's Willy, my alligator.

549. Trust me. I need him.

550. Well, I want that alligator.

551. Oh, my god.

552. Adele, the only way

553. I know when I leave that thetropics aren't going to creep

554. back in is to burn them.

555. Look at that.

556. Anyone for cooked alligator?

557. It's all right, mom.

558. Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye to the past.

559. You know that.

560. It's all right, baby.

561. That night, my team and I

562. went to work making one of the most drastic changes

563. ever in the history of "Kitchen Nightmares."

564. Welcome to the Junction.

565. Look at the size of this place.

566. Adele, what do you think?

567. I don't like it.

568. You don't like it.

569. I hate blue.

570. Unbelievable.

571. This was beyond any shadow of adoubt, one of the most stubborn

572. owners I've ever worked with.

573. I hate it.

574. How can you be positiveabout something you hate?

575. Ugly.

576. Hate, hate, hate.

577. I didn'tthink it could get any worse.

578. But then Adele wasalways full of surprises.

579. What do you think of the menu?

580. I mean, this is very limited.

581. I'm trying so hard to help here.

582. You have to embrace change.

583. Because if you're not going to embrace change,

584. do yourself a favor, shut the shop and retire.

585. Then I unveiled the new dishes.

586. And everyone was soexcited except for the one

587. woman called Madame Grumpy.

588. It was relaunch night.

589. And I was really prayingAdele's negativity wouldn't rub

590. off on the rest of her staff.

591. I need your smile.

592. I'll be right out.

593. Good.

594. First customer's here.

595. This looks like a place it would

596. be fun to come to every day.

597. Really?

598. It's open.

599. It's inviting.

600. Where is Madame Grumpy?

601. Where is she?

602. I caught her arguing with customers

603. who liked the changes.

604. It's nice and bright.

605. It's too bright.

606. Already, you don't believe in it.

607. Your negativity is goingto rub off on your staff.

608. It's going to rub off on your daughter.

609. And the customers will be feeling it.

610. I don't know.

611. I need to get out of here.

612. Unbelievable.

613. Relaunch night was about to go up in flames.

614. So I turned to Bill for some help.

615. She's our first point of contact.

616. Do me a favor and just ask herto put a smile on that face.

617. OK.

618. I will do that.

619. How you doing? OK?

620. I'm scared.

621. I'm so nervous.

622. Don't be scared.

623. Smile.

624. Smile. There you go.

625. You like Bill's meatloaf?

626. Yes.

627. Good.

628. Is she lightening up?

629. Yes.

630. I told you, she's a pain in the ass.

631. Yeah, but you didn't tell me on what scale of a pain

632. - in the ass she is. - Oh, she's an 11.

633. 11.

634. - Oh, good. - This is wonderful.

635. Thank you.

636. Everybody's happy.

637. A big thank you to the queen.

638. I'm serious.

639. I will be back.

640. And I'll take great pleasurein witnessing the success.

641. And by the time I get back, Madame, I want

642. you moved out of that house. Yes?

643. - Promise me? - I promise.

644. OK.

645. Good.

646. I'm back at the Junction inWhitehouse Station, New Jersey.

647. This restaurant was known for three things—

648. bad food, wacky decor, andan owner the most stubborn

649. this side of the Mississippi.

650. We made a lot of changes.

651. And I'm dying to find outif they're successful.

652. Up next, sparks fly—

653. Oh, my god.

654. —when Gordonand Adele face off again.

655. You have not changed one little bit.

656. Then we are goingback to Bazzini's where

657. a burned out owner took hisfrustration out on his staff—

658. So let me demo a chicken milanese

659. for the 400th fucking time.

660. Don't push it, Paul.

661. —and infuriated Chef Ramsay.

662. We need to fucking cook.

663. Now a year later, we're

664. about to find out if Bazzini hasgone boom or bust when "Kitchen

665. Nightmares Revisited" returns.

666. The old Flamangos combineda really bad concept—

667. Oh, my god.

668. It's like a zoo in here.

669. —with terrible food.

670. And one of the most stubborn owners Chef

671. Ramsay has ever met.

672. Shut your mouth already.

673. It took a littlefighting and a big fire

674. to get this restaurant on track.

675. It's all right, baby.

676. Now, one year later, is the Junction cooking

677. or has it gone up in flames?

678. Last time I was here, Adele the owner

679. fought me every step of the way.

680. The rotten food, the wacky decor, she

681. don't want to change a thing.

682. Finally, she accepted it.

683. I'm back now to see if they've changed

684. this place into a big success.

685. Hello, princess.

686. How are you?

687. Oh, my god.

688. Good.

689. How are you?

690. Oh, my god.

691. He's actually brave enoughto come back here to see us.

692. You're great.

693. Are you married?

694. No.

695. You're not married.

696. Still single.

697. Oh, sugar, seriously.

698. You were supposed to help me.

699. I don't know if I've got mates that brave.

700. Where are you staying?

701. Still home with mom and dad.

702. Oh, come on.

703. Nearly moving out? On the verge of?

704. Yes, on the verge of. I promise.

705. By the time I get back, Madame, I want

706. you moved out of that house.

707. Yes?

708. Promise me?

709. I promise.

710. I lied a little, butwhat are you going to do?

711. Where's the queen?

712. The queen is in the kitchen.

713. Well.

714. Hello.

715. Look who's here.

716. How are you?

717. Oh, I'm hanging in there.

718. Oh, my god.

719. First of all, it was great to see you.

720. Really good to see you.

721. - You sure? - Seriously.

722. Do you feel the same way?

723. I love you.

724. Now, you what?

725. You see this smile?

726. OK, good.

727. Good, good, good.

728. Now, the most important question for me.

729. I've been thinking about it all the way up here.

730. Do you still hate me?

731. I never hated you.

732. He says it's going to work.

733. How stupid can you be?

734. Are you nicer to your staff now?

735. You don't fricking listen.

736. Isabel, am I nicer to you?

737. How are you?

738. How are you?

739. Oh, goodness me.

740. Is she nicer to you, so no?

741. Yes, she is a lot better.

742. She's getting a lot better.

743. After I saw how I did come off harsh,

744. I tried to soften my approach to people.

745. Now, where's Brian the chef.

746. Where is he?

747. He's working in a bagel shop now.

748. - Oh, is he? - Yes.

749. Why?

750. He didn't like the way we ran our kitchen.

751. And we didn't like the way he ran it.

752. How's business?

753. It's different.

754. It's different.

755. Because we went from a higherend to a more affordable menu.

756. So you bring in different people.

757. Why are you smiling?

758. You haven't changed, have you?

759. I did.

760. You have not changed one little bit.

761. I'm 70 years old.

762. Do you think I'm going to change now?

763. No.

764. Call me stubborn,a hard head, I don't know.

765. I feel Gordon put us on the right path

766. by going more casual.

767. Are you still making desserts?

768. - Yes. - Good.

769. Fantastic. Are they going well?

770. Very well.

771. Brilliant, brilliant.

772. Are you happier?

773. I'm ecstatic.

774. What makes you happy?

775. When I see my restaurant full.

776. OK, good.

777. Can we have a bit to eat together.

778. Let's go.

779. So good to see you.

780. How nice is this?

781. This is wonderful.

782. This is amazing.

783. Listen to the buzz, the atmosphere.

784. If this was still Flamangos, where would we be now?

785. Closed.

786. Business has been very good.

787. We're doing double the business.

788. Big difference from when it was Flamangos.

789. Right. What are you going to have?

790. Can I start you off with something to drink?

791. Sex on the beach.

792. Sex on— sex on the beach.

793. What's that?

794. You never had sex on the beach?

795. I did in Florida when I proposed to my wife.

796. Yes.

797. I wasn't drinking.

798. This is different.

799. Of course, my mother with her sense of humor

800. had to order sex on the beach.

801. Whilst I was here, we had some good times.

802. And we had some bad times.

803. What was the best time for you?

804. I guess when you walked in the door.

805. - You really mean that? - Yeah.

806. What was the worse time for you?

807. When you called me Madame Grumpy.

808. What about the bonfire?

809. How could I forget about that?

810. The tropics are going.

811. Look at that.

812. It was very important.

813. I think the older you get,

814. the harder it is to adapt to change.

815. Of course.

816. Gordon changed all three of us

817. into having to thinkdifferently about business.

818. Oh, my god. Look at the size of that.

819. Thank you.

820. Your meatloaf, orBill's meatloaf, I should say.

821. Do you mind if I have a little taste?

822. Go right ahead.

823. Good?

824. Wow.

825. It's absolutely delicious.

826. I mean, really good.

827. Cheryl, you're charismatic.

828. You've got beautiful eyes.

829. You've got scary nails.

830. You're very pretty.

831. Why can't you date men?

832. You know what a Guido is?

833. A guido, yes.

834. That's what she's looking for.

835. The guy of my dreams will come up to me

836. and say, hey, how you doing.

837. My name's Tony.

838. Are you single?

839. I've got a long journey.

840. And I'd love to take outand buy one of those pies

841. to take back to my children.

842. Here's apple crumb, or pumple.

843. Pumple?

844. Hold on, where'd that name come from?

845. Pumple.

846. Too many sex on the beach cocktails.

847. Pumple, what's pumple?

848. It's pumpkin and apple.

849. You know we want to be different.

850. Honestly, you're definitely different.

851. You, my sir, you deserve to be knighted.

852. I'll say.

853. Oh, that was right on.

854. I tell her all the time, I should get a medal,

855. being with you all this time.

856. Stay there.

857. I've got a little surprise for you.

858. Just a little present from me.

859. First of all, my apologies.

860. It's not a guy.

861. But it's something thatcan bring about memories.

862. There we are, my darling.

863. No way.

864. Oh, yes.

865. There you are.

866. Oh, my god, an alligator.

867. Willy's back.

868. Oh, my god.

869. I can't believe Gordon broughtWilly the alligator back.

870. Willy's back.

871. No.

872. What do you mean, no?

873. That's Willy, my alligator.

874. Trust me.

875. Me and Gordon burnedWilly, our alligator.

876. It was very nice that hereplaced it with a new Willy.

877. Maybe we'll name the new alligator Willy

878. the Second, or maybe Gordie.

879. Thank you very much.

880. Bill, good to see you.

881. Want to make sure that it was successful.

882. So Cheryl can live a goodlife with her new husband

883. and grandchildren.

884. Take care, babe.

885. Good to see you.

886. The main thing that Ilearned from Gordon coming in

887. is that we had to makethe change or else that's

888. - the end of the restaurant. - No, I'm done crying.

889. Come on.

890. We definitely wouldn't still

891. be here if this was Flamangos.

892. Absolutely.

893. We needed Gordon to come in and save the day.

894. And he definitely did that for us.

895. And we can't thank him enough.

896. Wow.

897. She's still a firecracker.

898. But for me, the good news isAdele has embraced changes.

899. And it looks like the junctionis back on track, big time.

900. All she has to do now is getthat 43-year-old daughter out

901. of the house.

902. My god, still living at home.

903. Coming up, he was one of the most

904. distraught and burnt out owners Chef

905. Ramsay has ever dealt with.

906. I'm miserable.

907. Paul Bazziniwas a man of many excuses.

908. You haven'tchanged enough to convince

909. me that this can turn around.

910. Now, a yearlater, Chef Ramsay is back.

911. And he can't believe what he finds.

912. You won't either.

913. That's coming up on "KitchenNightmares Revisited."

914. One of mybiggest challenges last year

915. was in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

916. It was a great little town, very affluent, just half an hour

917. outside New York City.

918. Lots of restaurantseverywhere doing really well.

919. But not Bazzini's.

920. Here's your salad.

921. What salad?

922. What table?

923. I'm confused.

924. I'm confused.

925. The biggest problem was the owner Paul

926. This needs to be heated up.

927. These are perfect.

928. He justdidn't give a damn anymore.

929. Yeah, so I heard.

930. Paul was an angry man.

931. Always somebody, alwayssomebody, always somebody.

932. His wife Leslie just

933. couldn't get through to him.

934. You're like, dead.

935. Well, I want the nightmare to be over.

936. And his talented pastry

937. chef Sharyn couldn't stand him.

938. If he were a woman, he would have PMS 24/7.

939. OK?

940. I showed up thefirst day ready and excited

941. for some lunch.

942. No.

943. No lunch.

944. That's ridiculous.

945. Call me.

946. An hour later, he finally rang.

947. I'm starving. How are you.

948. Hi. Welcome to Bazzini's.

949. The first thingthat struck me, the dining

950. room was falling apart.

951. God, they're grimy.

952. Entree comes with sound effects.

953. Little did I know the soundeffects were the best part.

954. Pretty bland.

955. That's not normal for achicken to be so fucking hard.

956. Fettuccine, bland.

957. Chicken, why is it so dry?

958. That's bullshit.

959. What a mess.

960. Any desserts?

961. Certainly.

962. Sharyn our dessert chef makes everything.

963. Gordon's eating your carrotcake right now as we speak.

964. Hey.

965. Bloody hell.

966. You scared me.

967. Don't come around the corner like that.

968. Sharyn.

969. That is delicious.

970. Awesome.

971. That's made with passion.

972. You made love to that carrot cake.

973. Well, I'm getting divorced.

974. So it's the cake or uh—

975. I'll go for the cake.

976. I went to the back to Paulabout my rotten lunch.

977. And I was amazed.

978. He just didn't seem to care.

979. Paul, it tasted bland and it looked atrocious.

980. Honestly, it was fucking disgusting.

981. Seriously, I mean, you maylaugh, but it's not funny.

982. Paul had no passion and no soul.

983. And that night's dinner service proved it again.

984. It's cold.

985. Oh, come on.

986. Christ almighty.

987. So let me demo a chickenmilanese for the 400th fucking

988. time, which is nothingmore than chicken and salad

989. and my 12-year-old can do it.

990. Don't push it, Paul.

991. When I don't put it highenough, you yell at me that it's

992. not freaking high enough.

993. Why do you make it so difficult for?

994. Why can't we— but what's with the sarcasm?

995. How about—

996. Well, I can't help it if you tell me it's going to work

997. fucking way, then you can't— what

998. the fuck do you want from me?

999. Change to get it right.

1000. Well, you told me the first fucking time.

1001. His wife could see it.

1002. Paul, please don't start with excuses.

1003. That's not going to help.

1004. His customers could see it.

1005. Get my food now.

1006. Everyone but Paul could see he was the reason

1007. Bazzini's was going belly up.

1008. Whether you like it or not, you have given up.

1009. You think I'm happy?

1010. I'm miserable.

1011. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning.

1012. I want to stay in bed.

1013. OK, listen, I'mcommitted to helping you.

1014. And I'm not leaving this place until it's set.

1015. We are going to work togetherat turning this around.

1016. The next day, I made Pauldo something he should

1017. have done from the start—

1018. open Bazzini's for lunch.

1019. Ladies, both you arerunning the front of house.

1020. I got a kick watching Sharyn try to waitress.

1021. Is everything OK?

1022. Oh, yes.

1023. I'm sorry.

1024. Oh, god help me.

1025. With my help, Paul was doing a little better.

1026. You got four, vegetarian.

1027. I've got five, normal. Yes?

1028. Four, vegetarian, on the way.

1029. Excellent.

1030. And the customers seemed happy for a change.

1031. Oh, my gosh.

1032. This is so good.

1033. This is like the best pasta.

1034. That's it. The board is cleared.

1035. Feeling as though we're

1036. moving in the rightdirection, that night my team

1037. and I give Bazzini's a much needed face lift.

1038. Look at this.

1039. The tables are gorgeous.

1040. I love these tchotchkes.

1041. Gone is thelemon pound cake on the walls.

1042. It's just modern.

1043. It looks great.

1044. The color is contemporary.

1045. Thank you again.

1046. Good, my darling.

1047. I'm glad you are happy.

1048. Love the menu, from 27 dishes down to 15.

1049. It's fresh.

1050. Chargrilled calamari withfresh chili and arugula.

1051. The main entree is, fresh caponata

1052. with white beans.

1053. The pasta of the day is going to be

1054. of mussels and clams.

1055. Paul, is that menu manageable?

1056. Yep.

1057. I invitedsome big local dignitaries

1058. for relaunch night.

1059. Let's see what this new menu offers us.

1060. And I prayed for the best.

1061. These tables are very important.

1062. I need a second to think.

1063. Oh, come on.

1064. Al, come one.

1065. I need help.

1066. I need you to get in the game with me, please.

1067. I can't go do it all alone.

1068. One qualitythat all great chefs

1069. have is the ability to work under pressure.

1070. Paul can't handle pressure.

1071. I need some help.

1072. I need someone to move tickets.

1073. I can't do everything myself.

1074. I need some communication.

1075. Let's just cook.

1076. For god's sakes.

1077. Come on, Paul.

1078. Paul.

1079. I'm doing 400 things at once.

1080. And then, things went from bad to worse.

1081. Bloody hell, where's Al?

1082. Where's my sous chef?

1083. Al?

1084. Where is Al?

1085. I don't know.

1086. It was a disaster.

1087. And the sous chef Al had disappeared.

1088. Listen to me.

1089. Al may be gone, but the customers need feeding.

1090. Let's support one another.

1091. All right.

1092. Take a deep breath.

1093. I'm glad to help.

1094. Sharyn andl rolled up our sleeves.

1095. Good girl, Sharyn.

1096. Thank you, chef.

1097. And reallyworked hard to help

1098. save Paul's relaunch night.

1099. The food is fantastic.

1100. Worth the wait.

1101. The night was a success.

1102. But let's be honest, I wasn't going to be there

1103. every night to bailPaul's ass out of trouble.

1104. Honestly Paul, you haven'tchanged enough to convince

1105. me that this can turn around.

1106. I know that it starts and stops with me.

1107. And I know that I have to be the leader.

1108. And I take responsibility for that.

1109. You say all the right things always.

1110. But now, it's time to do the right things.

1111. I'm back in Ridgewood, New Jersey

1112. to visit Bazzini's where last year I

1113. had to work with one of the most defensive chefs

1114. I've ever, ever worked with.

1115. Now, we made a lot of changes.

1116. But I always wondered, did they stick.

1117. And we're about to find out.

1118. Coming up, Chief Ramsay is back.

1119. But where is Paul?

1120. Listen, I'm standing outside Bazzini's.

1121. Why aren't you open for lunch?

1122. Shocking answerswhen "Kitchen Nightmares

1123. Revisited" continues.

1124. A successful restaurant should have great food—

1125. That's not normal forchicken to be so fucking hard.

1126. —convenient hours—

1127. It's Monday through Thursday 5:00 til 9:30.

1128. Shit.

1129. —and great staff morale.

1130. I can't help it if you tell me to do it one fucking way

1131. and then you change it.

1132. What the fuck do you want from me?

1133. Bazzini's was 0for 3 because chef/owner

1134. Paul had given up.

1135. Yeah, so I heard.

1136. It was a difficult journey.

1137. But Chef Ramsay gave Paulall the tools to succeed.

1138. Now one year later.

1139. is Bazzini's still on the right path?

1140. When I arrived at Bazzini's last year,

1141. chef Paul gave me excuse after excuse.

1142. And I left him all the tools to succeed.

1143. Now it's time to find outwhat he did with them.

1144. All right.

1145. Oh, no.

1146. That's the one thing I told himto do was stay open for lunch.

1147. And, that is not open.

1148. I know one person that willtell me exactly what's going on.

1149. Hello?

1150. Sharyn?

1151. Gordon Ramsay.

1152. Holy shit.

1153. Get out of here.

1154. You're full of it.

1155. Listen, I'm standing outside Bazzini's.

1156. Why aren't you open for lunch?

1157. It's closed forlunch, breakfast, summer.

1158. It's closed, dude.

1159. What?

1160. Closed for good?

1161. That's ridiculous.

1162. And listen, where are you?

1163. Waldwick, New Jersey.

1164. I was shocked that Gordoncalled me on the phone.

1165. OK.

1166. I'm going to come over.

1167. But you know, I alwayssaid from the day he left

1168. Bazzini's, one of these daysmy phone's going to ring

1169. and it's going to be GordonRamsay on the other end.

1170. So you see, you never know.

1171. What the hell?

1172. How are you?

1173. When I first saw Gordon, I wasthrilled that he came to visit.

1174. He looked really hot.

1175. And what happened?

1176. It closed like after the show aired.

1177. It never had a lunchservice, never, from the day

1178. I was a fabulous waitress.

1179. Is everything OK?

1180. Oh, yes.

1181. I'm sorry.

1182. I was late one day and he got all

1183. pissy and throwing shit allover the place and being nasty.

1184. And I just got pissed offand I said, I'm out of here.

1185. I just couldn't work there.

1186. After everything that you did for him?

1187. Right.

1188. Listen, I don't wish anybody badly.

1189. But I was really good to himand he wasn't nice to me.

1190. So, Bazzini's is closed.

1191. Finito.

1192. What are you doing now?

1193. OK, so, I'm baking.

1194. Check it out.

1195. What do you think?

1196. The truth.

1197. Come on, Gordon.

1198. It's delicious.

1199. Is business going well? Yeah.

1200. I'm baking like a mad woman, day and night.

1201. That's all I do, bake.

1202. OK, go back a bit, go back 12 months when

1203. we first arrived at Bazzini's.

1204. Best moment.

1205. When you told me mycarrot cake was the best.

1206. You make love to that carrot cake, don't you?

1207. Well, I'm getting divorcedso it's the cake or uh—

1208. I'll go for the cake.

1209. And the worst was that stupid, goddamn fight in the kitchen.

1210. What the fuck you want from me?

1211. Changing it right.

1212. Well, you told me the first fucking time.

1213. He threw you under the bus, didn't he?

1214. He did, but I wasn't going.

1215. No way.

1216. If you tried to throw me under the bus,

1217. I wouldn't stand for it.

1218. So I wouldn't stand for it from him either.

1219. But you have something unique, and that is you.

1220. - Thank you. - And those cakes.

1221. Thank you. Look after it.

1222. Take care, love.

1223. Good to see you.

1224. I was thrilled, really genuinely thrilled.

1225. He's awesome.

1226. Take care.

1227. Take care, darling. Love you.

1228. You, too.

1229. Sharyn, Sharyn, Sharyn, you've got to love her.

1230. This year the restaurant business

1231. has had one of thetoughest years in decades.

1232. And I'm so happy that the Junction

1233. and Mojito are thriving.

1234. Good night.

1235. Next time on "Kitchen Nightmares,"

1236. Chef Ramsay encounters the most insecure

1237. owner he has ever met—

1238. I don't even know if I can handle this tonight.

1239. —with an incompetent staff,

1240. a disgusting kitchen, and afamily that is tearing apart—

1241. Shut up.

1242. What are you telling me to shut up?

1243. Out of the kitchen.

1244. Get out of the kitchen.

1245. —this is the one kitchen nightmare—

1246. We are not going tocontinue along these lines.

1247. —where it could all come crashing down—

1248. Dinner is canceled.

1249. —before it even starts.
