1. It's been a year
Copy !req
2. since Chef Ramsay
crisscrossed the country
Copy !req
3. trying to save restaurants
in trouble.
Copy !req
4. Get it together,
Marcelo.
Copy !req
5. I want the nightmare
to be over.
Copy !req
6. They may have asked
for his help,
Copy !req
7. But that didn't stop them
from fighting with Gordon...
Copy !req
8. Adele, what do you think?
Copy !req
9. - I don't like it.
- And each other...
Copy !req
10. Control.
Listen,
I can't control everything!
Copy !req
11. Every step of the way.
Copy !req
12. I need your smile.
I'll be right out.
Copy !req
13. Now, one year later,
Copy !req
14. Chef Ramsay is back
asking the tough questions.
Copy !req
15. Do you still hate me?
Copy !req
16. Do you still hate me?
Copy !req
17. Is business going well?
Copy !req
18. Is there any possibility
that you may get back together?
Copy !req
19. Get ready for a night
of surprises...
Copy !req
20. Oh.
Copy !req
21. As Chef Ramsay finds out
Copy !req
22. What happened to...
Disgusting.
Copy !req
23. The restaurants he tried
to save.
Copy !req
24. First we'll return
to Mojito's in Brooklyn...
Copy !req
25. Do it, do it,
do it now!
Copy !req
26. Owned by a former couple
who were at war with each other.
Copy !req
27. Mojito's destroy our lives.
Copy !req
28. And we'll check in
on the Junction,
Copy !req
29. formerly known as Flamangos,
in rural New Jersey.
Copy !req
30. formerly known as Flamangos,
in rural New Jersey.
Copy !req
31. We know!
Copy !req
32. Shut your mouth already!
Copy !req
33. Run by a stubborn owner
Copy !req
34. completely resistant
to change.
Copy !req
35. I hate him.
You hate him?
Copy !req
36. How can you be positive
about something you hate?
Copy !req
37. And lastly, we'll get updated
Copy !req
38. on Bazzini's
in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
Copy !req
39. This is where Paul, the owner,
fought with his staff...
Copy !req
40. Why do you have to make it
so difficult for?
Copy !req
41. What the
you want from me?
Copy !req
42. And did little
to impress Chef Ramsay.
Copy !req
43. Whether you like it or not,
you have given up.
Copy !req
44. Tonight
we will see it all.
Copy !req
45. Kata!
Copy !req
46. Kata!
Copy !req
47. Who is living the dream,
Copy !req
48. and who turned their kitchen
back into a nightmare?
Copy !req
49. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
50. Do you think
I'm gonna change now?
Copy !req
51. Last year, my team and I
worked tirelessly
Copy !req
52. across the country
turning restaurants around.
Copy !req
53. Tonight we'll let you in
on how they're doing.
Copy !req
54. Tonight we'll let you in
on how they're doing.
Copy !req
55. Before that,
let's take a look back
Copy !req
56. at what happened
when I first arrived at Mojito.
Copy !req
57. Brooklyn is a hip,
trendy,
Copy !req
58. diverse borough of New York.
Copy !req
59. It's the perfect place
for a Cuban restaurant,
Copy !req
60. unless that restaurant
happens to be called Mojito...
Copy !req
61. Run by a divorced couple
at war with each other.
Copy !req
62. Get the rice.
You're right there.
Yes, we are on it.
Copy !req
63. Marcelo,
why don't you listen to me?
Copy !req
64. Kata runs the front
of the restaurant.
Copy !req
65. Marcelo runs the kitchen.
Copy !req
66. Kata!
Copy !req
67. But they spend most
Copy !req
68. But they spend most
Copy !req
69. of their time
running their mouths.
Copy !req
70. Let me finish my way
in my way.
Copy !req
71. Do it, do it,
do it now!
Copy !req
72. What a mess.
Copy !req
73. Seven years
in the business
Copy !req
74. and all they have
to show for it
Copy !req
75. was a failed marriage
and a huge mountain of debt.
Copy !req
76. Zero.
Copy !req
77. Mojito's destroy our lives.
Copy !req
78. Sorry.
Copy !req
79. When I first walked in,
Copy !req
80. I knew straightaway
I had my work cut out.
Copy !req
81. Real interesting decor,
yeah.
Copy !req
82. Real interesting decor,
yeah.
Copy !req
83. It's almost
like a sort of garage sale
Copy !req
84. gone wrong.
Copy !req
85. The toxic relationship
between Kata and Marcelo...
Copy !req
86. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
87. Poisoned everything at Mojito,
even the food.
Copy !req
88. These are so salty.
Copy !req
89. You'd need six mojitos
Copy !req
90. before you start eating
six spoons of that.
Copy !req
91. You're right.
Copy !req
92. They're disgusting.
Copy !req
93. Excuse me.
Let me take this back.
Copy !req
94. Marcelo, the beans—
salty as hell.
Copy !req
95. Throw it out!
Copy !req
96. Get it together, Marcelo.
Control!
Copy !req
97. Listen,
I can't control everything!
Copy !req
98. Take a spoon,
and you taste everything.
Copy !req
99. I'm gonna taste,
but listen—
Copy !req
100. No, they're salty.
throw them out.
Copy !req
101. Exchange them
for new ones.
Copy !req
102. Instead of arguing,
do it, do it, do it.
Copy !req
103. Bitch.
Copy !req
104. Let me just tell you something—
lunch was a disaster.
Copy !req
105. I could hear a lot of shouting.
Is that normal?
Copy !req
106. That's all we hear
every day...
Copy !req
107. Every single day.
Copy !req
108. Kata's always pushing me.
Checking
your performance.
Copy !req
109. You're not my boss.
Copy !req
110. Maybe they were
really nervous.
Copy !req
111. So when I came back
for dinner service...
Copy !req
112. So when I came back
for dinner service...
Copy !req
113. Hi. How are you?
I kept an open mind.
Copy !req
114. Unfortunately,
things were no different.
Copy !req
115. It actually got worse.
Copy !req
116. Who made this?
You guys should know better.
Copy !req
117. How can you allow food
to come out like that nasty?
Copy !req
118. Negative. Negative.
Copy !req
119. It was, like, soggy.
No, not crispy.
Copy !req
120. It was soggy.
It's supposed to be nicer.
Copy !req
121. Honestly,
after all that fighting,
Copy !req
122. I was getting a headache.
Copy !req
123. So I decided to go downstairs
Copy !req
124. and take a good look
around in storage.
Copy !req
125. What I found
was absolutely shocking.
Copy !req
126. That is what you call
dry chicken.
Copy !req
127. That is what you call
dry chicken.
Copy !req
128. There must be thousands
and thousands of dollars' worth
Copy !req
129. of food here.
Copy !req
130. After the last
unhappy customer left...
Copy !req
131. We'll never
come here again.
Copy !req
132. I then decided
to call a meeting
Copy !req
133. and really give them
a big wake-up call.
Copy !req
134. I've never seen
Copy !req
135. such waste
in my entire life.
Copy !req
136. There's seven of these...
Copy !req
137. Down there.
Copy !req
138. Seven.
Copy !req
139. This is rapidly shutting down
Copy !req
140. the restaurant.
Copy !req
141. the restaurant.
Copy !req
142. Mojito was a mess,
Copy !req
143. and nothing was gonna change
until Kata
Copy !req
144. and Marcelo really put
their differences aside.
Copy !req
145. The next morning,
I pulled them each aside
Copy !req
146. to have a real heart-to-heart
with them.
Copy !req
147. The restaurant's suffering
on the back
Copy !req
148. of both of you
constantly hurting each other.
Copy !req
149. And it's so sad.
Copy !req
150. It's embarrassing.
Copy !req
151. Do you think it's time
that one of you
Copy !req
152. says good-bye
to the business?
Copy !req
153. I think it would be
very healthy.
Copy !req
154. How important
is the business for you?
Copy !req
155. It's everything for me.
Copy !req
156. The person
that I was married to,
Copy !req
157. that person
doesn't exist anymore.
Copy !req
158. that person
doesn't exist anymore.
Copy !req
159. He's gone.
Copy !req
160. And I have to move on.
Copy !req
161. So I'm taking it
on my business,
Copy !req
162. because that's all
I have left.
Copy !req
163. Whatever it takes,
I'll go to the end
Copy !req
164. until I feel there is
nothing else
Copy !req
165. that I can do.
Copy !req
166. I'm committed.
Okay.
Copy !req
167. Thank you.
Come here.
Copy !req
168. Stand strong.
Copy !req
169. Finally there was hope
for the future.
Copy !req
170. With that in mind,
my team and I spent all night
Copy !req
171. renovating Mojito's.
Copy !req
172. Welcome to Mojito's.
The new Mojito's, yes?
Copy !req
173. Welcome to Mojito's.
The new Mojito's, yes?
Copy !req
174. Doesn't it feel
twice as big?
Copy !req
175. Hello, Cuba.
Copy !req
176. This is amazing.
Copy !req
177. First thing
that's gone missing
Copy !req
178. are the 500 bottles
Copy !req
179. that were stopping
all that natural light.
Copy !req
180. Oh, that's beautiful.
Take a look
Copy !req
181. at where your bottles
have gone.
Copy !req
182. Kata, what do you think?
Copy !req
183. This is amazing.
Copy !req
184. Today is the beginning
Copy !req
185. of a new chapter
inside Mojito's.
Copy !req
186. Come here.
Thank you.
Copy !req
187. You little firecracker.
Copy !req
188. Then I unveiled
Copy !req
189. Then I unveiled
Copy !req
190. the new menu.
Copy !req
191. Look at the difference
in the portion size.
Copy !req
192. It's a lot less,
but, visually, it's beautiful.
Copy !req
193. For relaunch night,
Kata and Marcelo decided
Copy !req
194. to work the front
of the house together...
Copy !req
195. Follow me this way, guys.
Copy !req
196. And leave the kitchen
to Eduardo.
Copy !req
197. Are you convinced
you can do it?
Yeah.
Copy !req
198. Cuban sandwich, okay.
Copy !req
199. What came back?
This plate because
Copy !req
200. they order
a Cuban sandwich.
Copy !req
201. Not the pork?
Not the pork.
Copy !req
202. Look at me now.
Copy !req
203. You've got to call out
the orders.
Copy !req
204. Eduardo
was getting flustered.
Copy !req
205. Orders were coming back
to the kitchen.
Copy !req
206. Orders were coming back
to the kitchen.
Copy !req
207. Guys, F5 is missing a Cuban.
Copy !req
208. Bloody hell.
Copy !req
209. The new Mojito was starting
to look a lot like the old one.
Copy !req
210. Then Marcelo...
Copy !req
211. I have to do something.
Copy !req
212. Jumped straight back into
the kitchen and took charge.
Copy !req
213. We concentrating now.
Copy !req
214. Pescado marinero,
ropa vieja,
Copy !req
215. arroz con pollo,
white meat only,
Copy !req
216. churrasco pork.
Copy !req
217. Brilliant.
Thank you.
Copy !req
218. My buddy.
Copy !req
219. Kata and me are working together
well again.
Copy !req
220. How is everything here?
Delicious.
Copy !req
221. They loved everything.
Copy !req
222. They loved everything.
Copy !req
223. Yeah, baby.
Yeah.
Copy !req
224. Tonight wasn't perfect.
Copy !req
225. But I did see one thing
Copy !req
226. that I haven't witnessed,
Copy !req
227. and that was teamwork.
Copy !req
228. Well done.
Copy !req
229. It feels great
to see Marcelo smile.
Copy !req
230. It just...
Copy !req
231. Sort of
right in my heart.
Copy !req
232. I need you
to continue.
Copy !req
233. You are the half
of that.
Copy !req
234. I'm gonna do everything
that it takes
Copy !req
235. to make it work.
Copy !req
236. You guys work well together.
Copy !req
237. Tonight proved that.
Copy !req
238. Don't stop.
You'd be mad to.
Copy !req
239. Don't stop.
You'd be mad to.
Copy !req
240. Come here,
my darling.
Copy !req
241. Ay yi yi.
Copy !req
242. Great scene.
Copy !req
243. I'm back at Mojito
Copy !req
244. in Brooklyn, New York City.
Copy !req
245. Now, if you came here
last year,
Copy !req
246. you would be served dreadful
food by bickering owners.
Copy !req
247. We made a lot of changes
Copy !req
248. and brought the owners
finally together.
Copy !req
249. I'm just hoping it paid off.
Copy !req
250. We're about to find out.
Copy !req
251. Up next...
Copy !req
252. Have the ex-lovers patched up
their differences...
Copy !req
253. Is she treating you
like a partner,
Copy !req
254. not like
you're her bitch?
Copy !req
255. not like
you're her bitch?
Copy !req
256. Or are they driving Mojito's
back into bankruptcy?
Copy !req
257. I don't care.
Copy !req
258. Then Flamangos was Chef Ramsay's
toughest assignment.
Copy !req
259. - That's not cooking.
- That's dog.
Copy !req
260. Remember the outbursts...
Copy !req
261. Shut your mouth already!
Copy !req
262. The fire?
Copy !req
263. How can you be positive
about something you hate?
Copy !req
264. Hate, hate.
Copy !req
265. Now get ready for round two
Copy !req
266. of Gordon versus Adele.
Copy !req
267. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
268. It's the rematch,
Copy !req
269. Coming up on...
Copy !req
270. Mojito, a Cuban restaurant
in Brooklyn,
Copy !req
271. was run by a former couple
Copy !req
272. who seemed more interested
in feuding...
Copy !req
273. Listen,
I can't control everything!
Copy !req
274. Than the restaurant.
Copy !req
275. Go out here.
I'm not going out.
Copy !req
276. Go out here.
Go out of my kitchen now.
Copy !req
277. It was a big challenge,
Copy !req
278. but Chef Ramsay
revamped the restaurant
Copy !req
279. and unified Kata
and Marcelo.
Copy !req
280. Now, one year later,
Copy !req
281. is Mojito's enjoying
peace and prosperity,
Copy !req
282. or is it back
to its old bickering ways?
Copy !req
283. Last time I was at Mojito,
Copy !req
284. The food was dreadful,
Copy !req
285. The food was dreadful,
Copy !req
286. and the business
was going down the tubes.
Copy !req
287. Nothing was going to change
unless Kata and Marcelo
Copy !req
288. stopped all their fighting.
Copy !req
289. It took a lot of tears,
Copy !req
290. but they finally became
an amazing team.
Copy !req
291. I just hope
they've kept it up.
Copy !req
292. Hello.
Kata, how are you?
Copy !req
293. Good to see you.
How are you?
Copy !req
294. Very well.
How are you?
Copy !req
295. Welcome back to Mojito.
We're wonderful.
Copy !req
296. Sounds great.
Atmosphere is up.
Copy !req
297. Seeing Gordon was like seeing
an old friend.
Copy !req
298. He has a very special place
in my heart
Copy !req
299. and Mojito's heart.
Copy !req
300. Silly question,
because it looks busy,
Copy !req
301. Silly question,
because it looks busy,
Copy !req
302. but how is business?
business is great.
Copy !req
303. Um, where shall we sit?
Copy !req
304. Here.
Okay, great.
Copy !req
305. Great, great, great.
Copy !req
306. Good to see you.
Copy !req
307. My God, I forgot
how glamorous you were.
Copy !req
308. Yeah.
Copy !req
309. Now, it's working
together professionally?
Yes.
Copy !req
310. Who's in control?
Who's wearing the trousers—
Copy !req
311. you or him?
Copy !req
312. We both do.
It's a give and take, you know.
Copy !req
313. Now we're really partners,
and we're really working out...
Copy !req
314. Brilliant.
And respecting
each other
Copy !req
315. and respecting each other's work
and commitment.
Copy !req
316. And we're really committed
to make it work.
Copy !req
317. Business is up
by how much?
Copy !req
318. 30%.
That's brilliant.
Copy !req
319. 30%.
That's brilliant.
Copy !req
320. Business has gotten
a lot better.
Copy !req
321. We paid off half
of our debt.
Copy !req
322. So it looks a lot better.
Copy !req
323. Six months, we are estimated
to be out of debt, debt-free.
Copy !req
324. I mean,
that's amazing.
Yes.
Copy !req
325. Marcelo—
where is he?
Copy !req
326. He's in the kitchen.
Copy !req
327. I'm so excited to come back.
You know that?
Copy !req
328. All right.
I'll go
and surprise him.
Copy !req
329. Okay.
Nice to see you.
Thank you.
Copy !req
330. Chef, hello.
Copy !req
331. Seor!
Good to see you.
Copy !req
332. Me too, my man.
You look great.
You look happy.
Copy !req
333. Yes.
Not just 'cause I'm here.
Copy !req
334. Yes.
Not just 'cause I'm here.
Copy !req
335. You're like this
on a daily basis—
Copy !req
336. motivated, fired up,
and ready to go, yeah?
Copy !req
337. Your relationship with Kata
is on a professional front.
Copy !req
338. In the professional way,
I'm more relaxed.
Copy !req
339. Is she treating you like
a partner,
Copy !req
340. not like
you're her bitch?
Copy !req
341. Just serve the rice.
Serve the rice.
Copy !req
342. Marcelo,
why don't you listen to me?
Copy !req
343. She's showing you
respect?
Copy !req
344. Purchasing.
Copy !req
345. There must be thousands
and thousands of dollars' worth
Copy !req
346. of food here.
Copy !req
347. Are you buying
the stuff now?
Copy !req
348. - Yeah.
- Where is it?
Copy !req
349. Want to check?
Yeah, I want
to have a check.
Copy !req
350. Want to check?
Yeah, I want
to have a check.
Copy !req
351. Yeah, please.
After you.
Copy !req
352. How clean this is
down here.
Copy !req
353. My God.
Copy !req
354. Now, these fridges are full.
Copy !req
355. I was kind of afraid
because I have my fridge
Copy !req
356. with a lot of stock.
Copy !req
357. But this is because my business
is coming up a lot.
Copy !req
358. Listen,
not just the labels,
Copy !req
359. the dates,
the plastic wrap.
Copy !req
360. Everything's
so well organized.
Copy !req
361. Brilliant. Brilliant.
Brilliant.
Copy !req
362. Last time I came down here,
it was in a mess.
Copy !req
363. Right, I'm hungry.
What do you recommend for lunch?
Copy !req
364. Right, I'm hungry.
What do you recommend for lunch?
Copy !req
365. I'm gonna surprise you.
Copy !req
366. I like your surprises.
Copy !req
367. How was your visit
downstairs?
Copy !req
368. Brilliant.
Clean down there.
Copy !req
369. Impressive, right?
The good news is,
Copy !req
370. he sounds like he's got
his passion back, and he seems
Copy !req
371. a lot more relaxed—
less, uh—
Copy !req
372. less aggressive
and jumpy?
yeah.
Copy !req
373. We work on that.
Copy !req
374. Okay. Wow.
Camarones tropicales.
Copy !req
375. That's, like, the kind
of flavors that I like to eat.
Copy !req
376. Fantastic.
Copy !req
377. That's delicious.
Copy !req
378. What happens
when an argument takes place,
Copy !req
379. What happens
when an argument takes place,
Copy !req
380. and you're not happy
with Marcelo,
Copy !req
381. and he's not happy with you,
and you want to let it go?
Copy !req
382. We call our peacemaker,
which is my mom.
Copy !req
383. She works hand-to-hand
with Marcelo.
Copy !req
384. Mami.
This is your mom?
Copy !req
385. Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Copy !req
386. How are you?
My goodness me.
Sit down, please.
Copy !req
387. That's my mom.
Copy !req
388. Wow, wow, wow.
So this has been
Copy !req
389. the secret success
behind Mojito?
Copy !req
390. Yes.
Copy !req
391. Does she understand the level
of your stubbornness?
Copy !req
392. She does. Yeah.
Copy !req
393. I don't need
to translate that.
Copy !req
394. I don't know why Gordon said
I'm stubborn.
Copy !req
395. I don't know why Gordon said
I'm stubborn.
Copy !req
396. If I want to scream,
I can do it.
Copy !req
397. I'm the boss here.
Copy !req
398. Remember who I am.
Copy !req
399. Here he is.
Copy !req
400. Oh, food is here.
Sit down.
Copy !req
401. Sit down.
I want to talk to you.
Copy !req
402. This time, I'm really,
really nervous,
Copy !req
403. because I know
Copy !req
404. he's a really, really
high standard.
Copy !req
405. Delicious food,
by the way.
Copy !req
406. I mean,
really delicious.
Copy !req
407. He liked it.
Copy !req
408. He really enjoyed the food,
so great.
Copy !req
409. Here's the thing—
to get rid of your debts
Copy !req
410. by 50% in the first 12 months
of training
Copy !req
411. by 50% in the first 12 months
of training
Copy !req
412. in amongst a recession
is extraordinary.
Copy !req
413. 99% of a breakdown
in relationships
Copy !req
414. is always
financially related.
Copy !req
415. With the pressure gone,
Copy !req
416. is there any possibility
that you may get back together?
Copy !req
417. Gordon, he tries. He plays
our relationship therapist.
Copy !req
418. You look
so happy together.
Copy !req
419. When Gordon Ramsay come here,
we feel like, uh...
Copy !req
420. But the heart
and the feelings
Copy !req
421. are completely
different ways.
Copy !req
422. are completely
different ways.
Copy !req
423. What went wrong
when you got back together?
Copy !req
424. Last time I came,
Copy !req
425. what was the worst moment?
Copy !req
426. When things were, like,
out of control.
Copy !req
427. Salty as hell.
Copy !req
428. Throw it out!
Copy !req
429. My worst moment
is when you come with a lot
Copy !req
430. of chicken and avocado.
Copy !req
431. You've got enough food
down there
Copy !req
432. to serve a banquet
of 5,000.
Copy !req
433. I'm very proud of you both.
You deserve more.
Copy !req
434. I'm very proud of you both.
You deserve more.
Copy !req
435. So just continue.
Copy !req
436. One step at a time,
you know?
Copy !req
437. Yes. Good to see
all three of you.
Copy !req
438. Wonderful.
Copy !req
439. If Ramsay didn't come
to Mojito,
Copy !req
440. we'd probably be
out of business.
Copy !req
441. Take care.
It was our pleasure.
Copy !req
442. We didn't have
a clear vision.
Thank you.
Copy !req
443. The most value I learn
from Ramsay
Copy !req
444. is I would recover
the passion for my job.
Copy !req
445. Thank you.
Ciao.
Copy !req
446. I'm so proud of these two.
Copy !req
447. Honestly, they managed
to turn around a dying business
Copy !req
448. Honestly, they managed
to turn around a dying business
Copy !req
449. in the middle of a recession.
Copy !req
450. They're out of debt,
Copy !req
451. and they've managed to move on
from the past.
Copy !req
452. Right now
the future for Mojito's
Copy !req
453. looks very,
very bright indeed.
Copy !req
454. Great news.
Copy !req
455. Coming up...
Copy !req
456. We go back to
Whitehouse Station, New Jersey,
Copy !req
457. where Adele, the owner,
battled with her staff...
Copy !req
458. Stop bugging me!
Copy !req
459. And disagreed
with Chef Ramsay.
Copy !req
460. Adele, what do you think?
I don't like it.
Copy !req
461. Now, one year later...
Copy !req
462. - Oh!
- Has she embraced the changes?
Copy !req
463. Are you nicer
to your staff now?
Copy !req
464. Are you nicer
to your staff now?
Copy !req
465. Am I nicer to you?
Copy !req
466. Or is this kitchen nightmare
Copy !req
467. still spinning
out of control?
Copy !req
468. And later, remember Paul
from Bazzini's?
I'm miserable.
Copy !req
469. I don't want to get out of bed
in the morning.
Copy !req
470. You'll be shocked
to see what happens
Copy !req
471. when Gordon returns.
Oh, no.
Copy !req
472. That's all coming up on...
Copy !req
473. Whitehouse Station, New Jersey,
Copy !req
474. is a quiet commuter town
one hour outside Manhattan.
Copy !req
475. Everything was just
so damn quiet and peaceful...
Copy !req
476. That is,
until you got near Flamangos.
Copy !req
477. We have big problems here.
Copy !req
478. Girls!
Copy !req
479. There was the owner, Adele,
Copy !req
480. who was dead set
in her ways.
Copy !req
481. Shut your mouth already!
Copy !req
482. This was a family affair.
Copy !req
483. Adele and her husband, Bill,
Copy !req
484. had run successful restaurants
in the past.
Copy !req
485. But they opened this one
Copy !req
486. so they could work
with their daughter Cheryl.
Copy !req
487. so they could work
with their daughter Cheryl.
Copy !req
488. Chop-chop.
Copy !req
489. My first stop on this trip
Copy !req
490. was to Bill
and Adele's farmhouse.
Copy !req
491. Yoo-hoo!
Copy !req
492. Hello.
Hello.
Copy !req
493. Now, do you just pop over
for a slice of cake?
Copy !req
494. No. I live here.
You live here.
Copy !req
495. Yes.
Copy !req
496. How old are you?
I'm 42 years old.
Copy !req
497. Same age as me.
Copy !req
498. I left mum 24 years ago.
Copy !req
499. What are you still
doing here?
Copy !req
500. I haven't had a paycheck
in two years.
Copy !req
501. I haven't had a paycheck
in two years.
Copy !req
502. Right.
Copy !req
503. I have to live home.
Copy !req
504. It's pretty shocking
for a 42-year-old lady
Copy !req
505. to still be living
at home.
Copy !req
506. Wow.
Copy !req
507. But even more shocking...
Copy !req
508. Wow.
Copy !req
509. Was the decor.
Copy !req
510. Oh, my God.
It's like a zoo in here.
Copy !req
511. Well, it is tropical.
Copy !req
512. Who designed it?
Copy !req
513. My daughter decorated it.
Copy !req
514. How drunk was she when she put
the final sketches together?
Copy !req
515. I could see we had plenty
of problems to fix at Flamangos,
Copy !req
516. I could see we had plenty
of problems to fix at Flamangos,
Copy !req
517. and I was really hoping
the food wasn't one of them.
Copy !req
518. Fat chance.
Copy !req
519. What is that thing?
Use a roof tile.
Copy !req
520. We're eating it
from the tile?
Copy !req
521. You'll love this.
Copy !req
522. The toughest filet mignon
I've ever tasted
Copy !req
523. in my entire life.
Copy !req
524. I was pissed off.
Copy !req
525. I went straight to the kitchen
to confront the chef, Bryan.
Copy !req
526. Straight up,
would you eat it?
Copy !req
527. No.
Copy !req
528. You sent it to me.
Copy !req
529. That's not cooking.
Copy !req
530. That's dog.
Copy !req
531. That's dog.
Copy !req
532. That night I observed
dinner service,
Copy !req
533. and it became so obvious
Copy !req
534. as to why this restaurant
was failing—
Copy !req
535. bad food...
Copy !req
536. Slow service...
Copy !req
537. And a very stubborn owner
who treated her customers
Copy !req
538. and her staff like dogs.
Copy !req
539. Shut your mouth already!
Copy !req
540. Absolute crazy.
Copy !req
541. And then there was poor Bill.
Copy !req
542. Here I go.
Copy !req
543. You got a 70-year-old man
going round
Copy !req
544. and round
the dining room.
Copy !req
545. He shouldn't be doing this
at this pace.
Copy !req
546. He shouldn't be doing this
at this pace.
Copy !req
547. From what I saw
at dinner service,
Copy !req
548. I knew they had
to do something
Copy !req
549. they'd never done before—
Copy !req
550. have a staff meeting.
Copy !req
551. Well, Isabelle,
Copy !req
552. you're an excellent server,
Copy !req
553. but you don't frickin' listen!
Copy !req
554. I know what the
I'm doing.
Copy !req
555. You don't know
when to shut up.
Copy !req
556. The next morning,
Copy !req
557. I wanted Bill
to get back in touch
Copy !req
558. with something that really
made him successful in the past.
Copy !req
559. What is your favorite dish
to cook?
Copy !req
560. What is your favorite dish
to cook?
Copy !req
561. My meat loaf.
Copy !req
562. Tonight you're going
to cook that.
Copy !req
563. I would never order meat loaf
out—never.
Copy !req
564. Ay yi yi yi yi.
Copy !req
565. Adele, the owner,
was fighting me
Copy !req
566. every step of the way.
Copy !req
567. That night the customers
really loved Bill's special.
Copy !req
568. But the dishes
from the old menu bombed.
Copy !req
569. Adele, they want
to speak with you.
Copy !req
570. Okay, complaints,
what are they?
Copy !req
571. It's dry.
Dry.
So you don't want it.
Copy !req
572. Dry and overdone.
Copy !req
573. Okay. Bastard.
Copy !req
574. Okay. Bastard.
Copy !req
575. The amazing thing is
Copy !req
576. Even though the restaurant
was going under,
Copy !req
577. everyone was still clinging on
to the old ways.
Copy !req
578. That's when I knew
I'd have to do something
Copy !req
579. really drastic.
Copy !req
580. Everybody, stand up,
Copy !req
581. grab a chair from
the dining room, and follow me.
Copy !req
582. Let's go.
Copy !req
583. - Oh, hold on.
- No!
Copy !req
584. What do you mean "No"?
Copy !req
585. That's Willy, my alligator.
Copy !req
586. Trust me.
I need him.
Copy !req
587. I want that alligator.
Copy !req
588. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
589. Adele, the only way I know
Copy !req
590. Adele, the only way I know
Copy !req
591. When I leave
Copy !req
592. that the tropics
aren't gonna creep back in
Copy !req
593. is to burn them.
Copy !req
594. Ah!
Copy !req
595. Look at that.
Copy !req
596. Anyone for cooked alligator?
Copy !req
597. It's all right,
Mom.
Copy !req
598. Sometimes it's hard
to say good-bye to the past.
Copy !req
599. You know that?
Copy !req
600. It's all right, baby.
Copy !req
601. That night
my team and I went to work
Copy !req
602. Making one
of the most drastic changes
Copy !req
603. ever in the history
of Kitchen Nightmares.
Copy !req
604. Welcome to the...
Copy !req
605. Junction.
Copy !req
606. Look at the size
of this place!
Copy !req
607. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
608. Adele, what do you think?
I don't like it.
Copy !req
609. You don't like it?
I hate blue.
Copy !req
610. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
611. This was, beyond any shadow
of a doubt,
Copy !req
612. one of the most stubborn owners
I've ever worked with.
Copy !req
613. I hate it.
Copy !req
614. How can you be positive
about something you hate?
Copy !req
615. How can you be positive
about something you hate?
Copy !req
616. Ugly.
Copy !req
617. Hate, hate, hate.
Copy !req
618. I didn't think it could get
any worse.
Copy !req
619. But then Adele was always full
of surprises.
Copy !req
620. What do you think
of the menu?
Copy !req
621. I mean,
this is very limited.
Copy !req
622. I'm trying so hard
to help here.
Yeah.
Copy !req
623. You have
to embrace change,
Copy !req
624. because if you're not
gonna embrace change,
Copy !req
625. do yourself a favor,
Copy !req
626. shut the shop and retire.
Copy !req
627. Then I unveiled
the new dishes,
Copy !req
628. and everyone was so excited,
Copy !req
629. and everyone was so excited,
Copy !req
630. except for the one woman
I called madam grumpy.
Copy !req
631. Tastes like a fish.
Copy !req
632. Ugh.
Copy !req
633. It was relaunch night,
Copy !req
634. And I was really praying
Copy !req
635. Adele's negativity
wouldn't rub off
Copy !req
636. on the rest of her staff.
Copy !req
637. I need your smile.
I'll be right out.
Copy !req
638. Good.
First customers are here.
Copy !req
639. This looks like a place that'd
be fun to come to every day.
Copy !req
640. Really?
Copy !req
641. It's open.
It's, um, inviting.
Copy !req
642. It's open.
It's, um, inviting.
Copy !req
643. Where is madam grumpy?
Where is she?
Copy !req
644. I caught her arguing
with customers
Copy !req
645. Who liked the changes.
Copy !req
646. It's nice and bright.
It's too bright.
Copy !req
647. Already
you don't believe in it.
Copy !req
648. Your negativity's
Copy !req
649. gonna rub off
on your staff,
Copy !req
650. it's gonna rub off
on your daughter,
Copy !req
651. and the customers
will be feeling it.
Copy !req
652. I don't know.
Copy !req
653. I need
to get out of here.
Copy !req
654. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
655. Relaunch night
was about to go up in flames,
Copy !req
656. so I turned to Bill
for some help.
Copy !req
657. She's our first point
of contact.
Copy !req
658. Yeah.
Do me a favor
Copy !req
659. and just ask her to put
a smile on that face.
Copy !req
660. and just ask her to put
a smile on that face.
Copy !req
661. Okay, I will do that.
Copy !req
662. How you doing?
Okay?
Copy !req
663. I'm scared.
I'm so nervous.
Copy !req
664. Don't be scared.
Copy !req
665. Smile. Smile.
Copy !req
666. There you go.
Copy !req
667. Do you like
Bill's meat loaf?
Copy !req
668. Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Good.
Copy !req
669. Is she lightening up?
Yes.
Copy !req
670. I told you,
she's a pain in the ass.
Copy !req
671. She is.
Yeah, but you didn't tell me
on what scale
Copy !req
672. of a pain in the ass she is
out of 10.
oh, she's 11. 11.
Copy !req
673. Oh, good.
Copy !req
674. This is wonderful.
Thank you.
Copy !req
675. This is wonderful.
Thank you.
Copy !req
676. Everybody's happy.
Copy !req
677. A big thank you
to the queen.
Copy !req
678. I'm serious.
Copy !req
679. I will be back,
Copy !req
680. and I'll take
great pleasure
Copy !req
681. in witnessing the success.
Copy !req
682. And by the time
I get back, madam,
Copy !req
683. I want you moved out
of that house.
Copy !req
684. Yes?
Copy !req
685. Promise me.
I promise.
Copy !req
686. Okay, good.
Copy !req
687. I'm back at the Junction in
Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.
Copy !req
688. This restaurant was known
for three things—
Copy !req
689. bad food, wacky decor,
and an owner,
Copy !req
690. bad food, wacky decor,
and an owner,
Copy !req
691. the most stubborn this side
of the Mississippi.
Copy !req
692. We made a lot of changes,
Copy !req
693. and I'm dying to find out
if they're successful.
Copy !req
694. Up next, sparks fly...
Copy !req
695. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
696. When Gordon and Adele
face off again.
Copy !req
697. You have not changed
one little bit.
Copy !req
698. Then we are going back
to Bazzini's,
Copy !req
699. where a burnt-out owner
took his frustration out
Copy !req
700. on his staff...
Copy !req
701. So let me demo
a chicken milanese
Copy !req
702. for the 400th time.
Copy !req
703. Don't push it, Paul.
Copy !req
704. And infuriated Chef Ramsay.
Copy !req
705. We need to cook!
Copy !req
706. Now, a year later,
we're about to find out
Copy !req
707. Now, a year later,
we're about to find out
Copy !req
708. if Bazzini's has gone boom
or bust,
Copy !req
709. Revisited returns.
Copy !req
710. The old Flamangos combined
Copy !req
711. a really bad concept...
Copy !req
712. Oh, my God.
It's like a zoo in here.
Copy !req
713. With terrible food.
Copy !req
714. Excuse me.
Copy !req
715. And one of the most
stubborn owners
Copy !req
716. Chef Ramsay has ever met.
Copy !req
717. Shut your mouth already!
Copy !req
718. It took a little fighting
and a big fire
Copy !req
719. to get this restaurant
on track.
Copy !req
720. It's all right, baby.
Copy !req
721. Now, one year later,
Copy !req
722. is the Junction cooking,
Copy !req
723. or has it gone up
in flames?
Copy !req
724. Last time I was here,
Copy !req
725. Adele, the owner, fought me
every step of the way.
Copy !req
726. Adele, the owner, fought me
every step of the way.
Copy !req
727. The rotten food,
the wacky decor—
Copy !req
728. she didn't want to change
a thing.
Copy !req
729. Finally she accepted it.
Copy !req
730. I'm back now to see
if they've changed this place
Copy !req
731. into a big success.
Copy !req
732. Hello, princess.
Copy !req
733. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
734. How are you?
How are you?
Copy !req
735. Good.
How are you?
Copy !req
736. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
737. He's actually brave enough
to come back here to see us.
Copy !req
738. You look great.
Copy !req
739. And are you married?
No.
Copy !req
740. And are you married?
No.
Copy !req
741. You're not married?
Copy !req
742. Still single.
Oh, sugar, seriously.
Copy !req
743. You were supposed
to help me.
Copy !req
744. I don't know
if I've got mates that brave.
Copy !req
745. Where are you staying?
Still at home
Copy !req
746. with mom and dad.
oh, come on.
Copy !req
747. Nearly moving out?
On the verge of?
Copy !req
748. Yes, on the verge of.
I promise.
Copy !req
749. And by the time
I get back, madam,
Copy !req
750. I want you moved out
of that house.
Copy !req
751. Yes?
Copy !req
752. Promise me.
I promise.
Copy !req
753. Okay.
Oh, I lied a little,
but what are you gonna do?
Copy !req
754. Where's the queen?
The queen
is in the kitchen.
Copy !req
755. Well...
Hello.
Copy !req
756. Look who's here.
Copy !req
757. How are you?
Copy !req
758. Oh, I'm hanging in there.
Copy !req
759. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
760. First of all,
it's great to see you.
Copy !req
761. Really good
to see you.
You sure?
Copy !req
762. Seriously.
Do you feel the same way?
Copy !req
763. I love you.
Copy !req
764. You what?
Copy !req
765. You see this smile?
Copy !req
766. Okay. Good.
Good, good, good.
Copy !req
767. Now, the most important
question for me—
Copy !req
768. I've been thinking about it
all the way up here—
Copy !req
769. I've been thinking about it
all the way up here—
Copy !req
770. do you still hate me?
Copy !req
771. I never hated you.
Copy !req
772. He says
it's gonna work.
Copy !req
773. How stupid can he be?
Copy !req
774. Are you nicer
to your staff now?
Copy !req
775. You don't frickin' listen!
Copy !req
776. Isabelle,
am I nicer to you?
Copy !req
777. How are you?
Copy !req
778. How are you?
Don't get her nervous,
please.
Copy !req
779. Oh, goodness me.
Copy !req
780. Is she nicer to you?
Yes or no?
Copy !req
781. Um, yes,
she is a lot better.
Copy !req
782. She's getting a lot better.
Copy !req
783. After I saw
how I did come off harsh,
Copy !req
784. After I saw
how I did come off harsh,
Copy !req
785. I tried to soften
my approach to people.
Copy !req
786. Now, where's Bryan, the chef?
Where is he?
Copy !req
787. He's working
in a bagel shop now.
Copy !req
788. Oh, is he?
Yes.
Copy !req
789. Why?
He didn't like
the way we ran our kitchen,
Copy !req
790. and we didn't like
the way he ran it.
Copy !req
791. How's business?
Copy !req
792. It's different.
Copy !req
793. It's different.
Copy !req
794. Because we went
Copy !req
795. from a higher end
to a-a...
Copy !req
796. more affordable menu.
Copy !req
797. So you bring in
different people.
Copy !req
798. Why are you smiling?
Copy !req
799. You haven't changed,
have you, huh?
Copy !req
800. You haven't changed,
have you, huh?
Copy !req
801. I did.
You have not changed
one little bit.
Copy !req
802. Hey, I'm 70 years old.
Copy !req
803. Do you think
I'm gonna change now?
Copy !req
804. No.
Copy !req
805. Call me stubborn,
a hardhead,
Copy !req
806. I don't know,
Copy !req
807. but I feel Gordon
put us on the right path
Copy !req
808. by going more casual.
Copy !req
809. Are you still making
desserts?
Yes.
Copy !req
810. Good. Fantastic.
Are they going well?
Very well. Yeah.
Copy !req
811. Brilliant, brilliant,
brilliant, brilliant.
Copy !req
812. Are you happier?
I'm ecstatic.
Copy !req
813. What makes you happy?
Copy !req
814. When I see
my restaurant full.
Copy !req
815. Okay, good.
Copy !req
816. Okay, good.
Copy !req
817. Can we go have a bite
to eat together?
Copy !req
818. Let's go.
So good to see you.
Copy !req
819. How nice is this?
Copy !req
820. This is wonderful.
This is amazing.
Copy !req
821. Listen to the buzz...
Copy !req
822. The atmosphere.
Copy !req
823. If this was still
Flamangos,
Copy !req
824. where would it be now?
Copy !req
825. Closed.
Copy !req
826. Business has been
very good.
Copy !req
827. We're doing double
the business—
Copy !req
828. big difference
from when it was Flamangos.
Copy !req
829. What are we going to have?
Can I start you off
with something to drink?
Copy !req
830. Sex on the beach.
Copy !req
831. Sex on—
Copy !req
832. Sex on—
Copy !req
833. Sex on the beach?
What's that?
Copy !req
834. You never had
sex on the beach?
Copy !req
835. I did in Florida
when I proposed to my wife.
Copy !req
836. Yeah.
But I wasn't drinking.
Copy !req
837. This is different.
Copy !req
838. Of course my mother,
with her sense of humor,
Copy !req
839. had to order
sex on the beach.
Copy !req
840. Whilst I was here,
Copy !req
841. we had some good times,
and we had some bad times.
Copy !req
842. What was the best time
for you?
Copy !req
843. I guess when you walked
in the door.
Copy !req
844. You really mean that?
Yeah.
Copy !req
845. What was the worst time
for you?
Copy !req
846. What was the worst time
for you?
Copy !req
847. When you call me
madam grumpy.
Copy !req
848. What about the bonfire?
How could I forget
about that?
Copy !req
849. The tropics are going.
Copy !req
850. Look at that.
Copy !req
851. It was very important.
Copy !req
852. I think the older you get,
Copy !req
853. The harder it is
to adapt to change.
Copy !req
854. Gordon changed
all three of us
Copy !req
855. into having to think differently
about business.
Copy !req
856. Junction burger
for you, sir.
Copy !req
857. Oh, my God.
Look at the size of that.
Copy !req
858. Thank you, darling.
Copy !req
859. Your meat loaf—
Copy !req
860. or Bill's meat loaf,
I should say.
Copy !req
861. or Bill's meat loaf,
I should say.
Copy !req
862. Do you mind
if I have a little taste?
Copy !req
863. That's you.
Copy !req
864. Go right ahead.
Good?
Copy !req
865. Wow.
Copy !req
866. It's absolutely delicious.
Copy !req
867. Beautiful.
Really good.
Copy !req
868. Um, Cheryl,
Copy !req
869. you're charismatic.
Copy !req
870. You've got
beautiful eyes.
Copy !req
871. You've got scary nails.
You're very pretty.
Copy !req
872. Why can't you date men?
Copy !req
873. You know what a Guido is?
Copy !req
874. A Guido. Yeah.
That's what
she's looking for.
Copy !req
875. The guy of my dreams
will come up to me and say,
Copy !req
876. "Hey, how you doin'?
My name's Tony.
Copy !req
877. Are you single?"
Copy !req
878. Are you single?"
Copy !req
879. I've got
a long journey home.
Copy !req
880. And I'd love to take out
and buy one of those pies
Copy !req
881. to take back
to my children.
Copy !req
882. There's apple crumb.
Apple crumb.
Copy !req
883. Or pumple.
Pumple?
Copy !req
884. Pumple.
Where did that name
come from?
Copy !req
885. Oh,
Copy !req
886. Pumple?
What—
Copy !req
887. too many
sex on the beach cocktails.
Copy !req
888. Pumple?
What's pumple?
It's pumpkin and apple.
Copy !req
889. You know we want
to be different.
Copy !req
890. Honestly—yeah,
you're definitely different.
Copy !req
891. Honestly—yeah,
you're definitely different.
Copy !req
892. You, my sir,
you deserve to be knighted,
Copy !req
893. honestly.
Copy !req
894. That was right on.
Copy !req
895. I tell her all the time,
"I should get a medal
Copy !req
896. being with you all this time."
Copy !req
897. Stay there. I've got
a little surprise for you, okay?
Copy !req
898. Just a little present
from me.
Copy !req
899. Oh, boy.
First of all...
Copy !req
900. Is a guy
gonna come out of there?
Copy !req
901. My apologies.
It's not a guy.
Copy !req
902. Okay?
Copy !req
903. But something
that can bring back memories.
Copy !req
904. Here we are,
my darling.
Copy !req
905. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
906. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
907. No way.
Copy !req
908. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
909. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
910. Not an alligator.
Copy !req
911. Willy's back!
Willy's back!
Copy !req
912. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
913. I can't believe Gordon brought
Willy the alligator back!
Copy !req
914. Willy's back.
Copy !req
915. No!
Copy !req
916. What do you mean "No"?
Copy !req
917. That's Willy, my alligator.
Copy !req
918. Trust me.
Copy !req
919. Being Gordon burned Willy,
Copy !req
920. our alligator,
Copy !req
921. our alligator,
Copy !req
922. it was very nice
that he replaced it
Copy !req
923. with a new Willy.
Copy !req
924. Maybe we'll name
the new alligator
Copy !req
925. Willy the second
Copy !req
926. or maybe gordy.
Copy !req
927. Okay.
Thank you very much.
Copy !req
928. Good to see you.
Copy !req
929. He wanted to make sure
that we're successful,
Copy !req
930. so Cheryl can live
a good life...
Copy !req
931. With her new husband
and grandchildren.
Copy !req
932. Take care, babe.
Oh.
Copy !req
933. The main thing
that I learned from Gordon
Copy !req
934. coming in is that
we had to make the change,
Copy !req
935. coming in is that
we had to make the change,
Copy !req
936. or else that's the end
of the restaurant.
Copy !req
937. Bye. No, don't cry.
Come on.
Copy !req
938. We definitely
wouldn't have still been here
Copy !req
939. if this was Flamangos—
absolutely.
Copy !req
940. We needed Gordon to come in
and save the day,
Copy !req
941. and he definitely did that
for us.
Copy !req
942. And we can't thank him enough.
Copy !req
943. Wow.
Copy !req
944. She's still a firecracker.
Copy !req
945. But for me,
the good news is Adele
Copy !req
946. has embraced changes.
Copy !req
947. And it looks like the Junction
is back on track big-time.
Copy !req
948. All she has to do now
Copy !req
949. is get that 43-year-old daughter
out of the house.
Copy !req
950. is get that 43-year-old daughter
out of the house.
Copy !req
951. My God.
Copy !req
952. Still living at home.
Copy !req
953. Coming up, he was one
of the most distraught
Copy !req
954. And burnt-out owners
Chef Ramsay has ever dealt with.
Copy !req
955. I'm miserable.
Copy !req
956. Paul Bazzini was a man
of many excuses.
Copy !req
957. Paul, you haven't changed
enough to convince me
Copy !req
958. that this
can turn around.
Copy !req
959. Now, a year later,
Chef Ramsay is back.
Copy !req
960. And he can't believe
what he finds.
Copy !req
961. You won't either.
Copy !req
962. That's coming up on...
Copy !req
963. That's coming up on...
Copy !req
964. One of my biggest challenges
last year
Copy !req
965. was in Ridgewood,
New Jersey.
Copy !req
966. It was a great little town,
very affluent,
Copy !req
967. just half an hour
outside New York City—
Copy !req
968. lots of restaurants everywhere
doing really well,
Copy !req
969. but not Bazzini's.
Copy !req
970. Here's your salad.
Copy !req
971. What salads?
What table?
Copy !req
972. I'm confused.
I'm confused.
Copy !req
973. The biggest problem
was the owner, Paul.
Copy !req
974. This needs
to be heated up.
These are perfect.
Copy !req
975. He just didn't give
a damn anymore.
Copy !req
976. He just didn't give
a damn anymore.
Copy !req
977. Yeah. So I heard.
Copy !req
978. Paul was an angry man.
Copy !req
979. Always somebody,
always somebody,
Copy !req
980. always somebody.
Copy !req
981. Ugh.
Copy !req
982. His wife, Leslie, just couldn't
get through to him.
Copy !req
983. You're, like, dead.
Copy !req
984. I want the nightmare
to be over.
Copy !req
985. And his talented
pastry chef, Sharyn,
Copy !req
986. Couldn't stand him.
Copy !req
987. If he were a woman,
Copy !req
988. he would have PMS 24-7, okay?
Copy !req
989. I showed up the first day
ready and excited
Copy !req
990. for some lunch.
Copy !req
991. No. No lunch?
That's ridiculous.
Copy !req
992. No. No lunch?
That's ridiculous.
Copy !req
993. Call me.
Copy !req
994. An hour later,
he finally rang.
Copy !req
995. I'm starving.
How are you?
Copy !req
996. Hi.
Welcome to Bazzini's.
Copy !req
997. The first thing
that struck me...
Copy !req
998. Oof.
Copy !req
999. The dining room
was falling apart.
Copy !req
1000. God, they're grimy.
Copy !req
1001. Entree comes
with sound effects.
Copy !req
1002. Little did I know,
Copy !req
1003. the sound effects
were the best part.
Copy !req
1004. Pretty bland.
Copy !req
1005. That's not normal for a chicken
to be so hard.
Copy !req
1006. Fettuccini—bland.
Copy !req
1007. Chicken—
"Why is it so dry?"
Copy !req
1008. That's.
Copy !req
1009. Ugh.
Copy !req
1010. What a mess.
Copy !req
1011. Any desserts?
Certainly.
Copy !req
1012. Sharyn, our dessert chef,
makes everything.
Copy !req
1013. Gordon's eating
your carrot cake right now
Copy !req
1014. as we speak.
Copy !req
1015. Oy vey.
Copy !req
1016. Hey.
Copy !req
1017. Bloody hell.
Copy !req
1018. You scared me.
Copy !req
1019. Don't come around the corner
like that.
Copy !req
1020. Sharyn.
Copy !req
1021. That is delicious.
That's made with passion.
Awesome.
Copy !req
1022. You make love
to that carrot cake, don't you?
Copy !req
1023. Well, I'm getting divorced,
so it's the cake or, uh...
Copy !req
1024. I'll go for the cake.
Copy !req
1025. I went to the back to talk
to Paul about my rotten lunch,
Copy !req
1026. and I was amazed.
Copy !req
1027. He just didn't seem
to care.
Copy !req
1028. Paul, it tasted bland,
Copy !req
1029. and it looked
atrocious.
Copy !req
1030. Honestly,
it was disgusting.
Copy !req
1031. Seriously. I mean, you may
laugh, but it's not funny.
Copy !req
1032. Paul had no passion
and no soul.
Copy !req
1033. And that night's dinner service
proved it again.
Copy !req
1034. And that night's dinner service
proved it again.
Copy !req
1035. That's cold.
Oh, come on.
Copy !req
1036. Almighty.
Copy !req
1037. So let me demo
Copy !req
1038. a chicken milanese
for the 400th time,
Copy !req
1039. Which is nothing more
than chicken and salad,
Copy !req
1040. and my 12-year-old
can do it.
Copy !req
1041. Don't push it, Paul.
Copy !req
1042. When I don't put it
high enough,
Copy !req
1043. you yell at me that it's not
freakin' high enough.
Copy !req
1044. Why do you have
to make it so difficult for?
Copy !req
1045. Why can't—
I'm not.
Copy !req
1046. No. I'm watching.
Copy !req
1047. Well, what's
with the sarcasm?
Copy !req
1048. I can't help it if you tell me
to do it one way,
Copy !req
1049. Then you change it!
Copy !req
1050. What the
do you want from me?
Copy !req
1051. Changing it right!
Copy !req
1052. Well, you told me the first
time!
Copy !req
1053. Well, you told me the first
time!
Copy !req
1054. Me.
Copy !req
1055. His wife could see it.
Copy !req
1056. Paul, please don't start
with excuse.
Copy !req
1057. That's not gonna help.
Copy !req
1058. His customers could see it.
Copy !req
1059. Get my food now!
Copy !req
1060. Everyone but Paul could see
Copy !req
1061. he was the reason
Bazzini's was going belly-up.
Copy !req
1062. Whether you like it or not,
you have given up.
Copy !req
1063. You think I'm happy?
I'm miserable.
Copy !req
1064. I don't want to get out of bed
in the morning.
Copy !req
1065. I want to stay in bed.
Copy !req
1066. Okay, listen,
Copy !req
1067. Okay, listen,
Copy !req
1068. I'm committed
to helping you,
Copy !req
1069. and I'm not leaving this place
until it's set.
Copy !req
1070. We are gonna work
at this together
Copy !req
1071. at turning this around.
Copy !req
1072. The next day,
I made Paul do something
Copy !req
1073. He should've done
from the start—
Copy !req
1074. open Bazzini's for lunch.
Copy !req
1075. Ladies,
Copy !req
1076. both of you running
Copy !req
1077. the front of house.
Copy !req
1078. I got a kick watching Sharyn
try to waitress.
Copy !req
1079. Ugh.
Copy !req
1080. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
1081. Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1082. Ugh.
God help me.
Copy !req
1083. With my help,
Paul was doing a little better.
Copy !req
1084. With my help,
Paul was doing a little better.
Copy !req
1085. You got four vegetarian.
I got five normal, yes?
Copy !req
1086. Four vegetarian
on the way.
Excellent.
Copy !req
1087. And the customers
seemed happy for a change.
Copy !req
1088. Oh, my gosh.
This is so good.
Copy !req
1089. This is, like,
the best pasta.
Copy !req
1090. That's it.
The board is clear.
Copy !req
1091. Feeling as though we were moving
in the right direction,
Copy !req
1092. That night my team and I
gave Bazzini's
Copy !req
1093. a much-needed face-lift.
Copy !req
1094. - Look at this.
- The tables are gorgeous.
Copy !req
1095. I love these tchotchkes.
Copy !req
1096. Gone is the lemon pound cake
on the walls.
Copy !req
1097. It looks modern.
It looks great.
Copy !req
1098. The color is contemporary.
Copy !req
1099. Thank you again.
Copy !req
1100. Thank you again.
Copy !req
1101. Oh, good, my darling.
I'm glad you're happy.
Copy !req
1102. Love the menu.
Copy !req
1103. From 27 dishes
down to 15.
Copy !req
1104. It's fresh.
Copy !req
1105. Char-grilled calamari
with fresh chili and arugula.
Copy !req
1106. The main entrees—
Copy !req
1107. bistecca, fresh caponata
with white beans.
Copy !req
1108. Pasta today is gonna be
tagliatelle
Copy !req
1109. of mussels and clams.
Copy !req
1110. Paul, is that menu
manageable?
Copy !req
1111. Yeah.
Copy !req
1112. I invited some
big local dignitaries
Copy !req
1113. For relaunch night...
Copy !req
1114. Let's see what this new menu
Copy !req
1115. offers us.
Copy !req
1116. And I prayed for the best.
Copy !req
1117. These tables
are very important.
Copy !req
1118. I need a second
to think.
Copy !req
1119. I need a second
to think.
Copy !req
1120. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
1121. Al, you got to—
come on, I need help.
Copy !req
1122. I need for you to get
in the game with me.
Copy !req
1123. Please, I can't do it
all alone.
Copy !req
1124. One quality
that all great chefs have
Copy !req
1125. is the ability
to work under pressure.
Copy !req
1126. Paul can't handle pressure.
Copy !req
1127. I need some help. I need
someone to move tickets.
Copy !req
1128. I can't do everything myself.
Copy !req
1129. I need some communication.
Copy !req
1130. Let's just cook!
For God sakes.
Copy !req
1131. Come on, Paul.
Paul!
Copy !req
1132. I'm doing 400 things
at once.
Copy !req
1133. And then things went
from bad to worse.
Copy !req
1134. Bloody hell. Where's Al?
Where's my sous chef?
Copy !req
1135. Bloody hell. Where's Al?
Where's my sous chef?
Copy !req
1136. Al. Where is Al?
Copy !req
1137. I don't know.
Copy !req
1138. Al!
Copy !req
1139. It was a disaster.
Copy !req
1140. The sous chef, Al,
had disappeared.
Copy !req
1141. Listen to me.
Copy !req
1142. Al may be gone,
but the customers need feeding.
Copy !req
1143. Let's support one another.
Copy !req
1144. All right,
take a deep breath.
Copy !req
1145. I'm glad to help.
Copy !req
1146. Sharyn and I rolled up
our sleeves...
Copy !req
1147. Good girl, Sharyn.
Copy !req
1148. Thank you, chef.
Good girl.
Copy !req
1149. And really worked hard
Copy !req
1150. to help save "Paul's"
relaunch night.
Copy !req
1151. The food is fantastic.
Copy !req
1152. Worth the wait.
Copy !req
1153. The night was a success.
Copy !req
1154. The night was a success.
Copy !req
1155. But let's be honest, I wasn't
gonna be there every night
Copy !req
1156. to bail Paul's ass
out of trouble.
Copy !req
1157. Honestly, Paul,
Copy !req
1158. you haven't changed enough
Copy !req
1159. to convince me
Copy !req
1160. that this
Copy !req
1161. can turn around.
Copy !req
1162. I know that it starts
and stops with me.
Copy !req
1163. And I know that I have to be
the leader.
Copy !req
1164. I take responsibility
for that.
Copy !req
1165. You say all
the right things always.
Copy !req
1166. But now it's time
to do the right things.
Copy !req
1167. I'm back in Ridgewood,
New Jersey, to visit Bazzini's,
Copy !req
1168. I'm back in Ridgewood,
New Jersey, to visit Bazzini's,
Copy !req
1169. where last year I had to work
Copy !req
1170. with one
of the most defensive chefs
Copy !req
1171. I've ever, ever worked with.
Copy !req
1172. Now, we made a lot
of changes,
Copy !req
1173. but I always wondered
if it'd stick.
Copy !req
1174. And we're about to find out.
Copy !req
1175. Coming up, Chef Ramsay is back,
Copy !req
1176. But where is Paul?
Copy !req
1177. Listen, I'm standing
outside Bazzini's.
Copy !req
1178. Why aren't you open
for lunch?
Copy !req
1179. Shocking answers
Copy !req
1180. Revisited continues.
Copy !req
1181. A successful restaurant
Copy !req
1182. should have great food...
Copy !req
1183. That's not normal for a chicken
to be so hard.
Copy !req
1184. Convenient hours...
Copy !req
1185. Monday through Thursday,
5:00 till 9:30.
Copy !req
1186. And great staff morale.
Copy !req
1187. I can't help it
Copy !req
1188. if you tell me to do it
one way,
Copy !req
1189. then you change it!
Copy !req
1190. What the
do you want from me?
Copy !req
1191. Bazzini's was 0 for 3,
Copy !req
1192. Because chef/owner Paul
had given up.
Copy !req
1193. Yeah. So I heard.
Copy !req
1194. It was a difficult journey.
But Chef Ramsay gave Paul
Copy !req
1195. all the tools to succeed.
Copy !req
1196. Now, one year later,
Copy !req
1197. is Bazzini's
still on the right path?
Copy !req
1198. When I arrived
at Bazzini's last year,
Copy !req
1199. Chef Paul gave me excuse
after excuse,
Copy !req
1200. and I left him all the tools
to succeed.
Copy !req
1201. Now it's time to find out
what he did with them.
Copy !req
1202. Oh, no.
Copy !req
1203. That's the one thing
I told him to do
Copy !req
1204. is stay open for lunch.
Copy !req
1205. And that...
Copy !req
1206. is not open.
Copy !req
1207. I know one person
that will tell me
Copy !req
1208. exactly what's going on.
Copy !req
1209. exactly what's going on.
Copy !req
1210. Hello?
Copy !req
1211. - Sharyn, Gordon Ramsay.
- Holy.
Copy !req
1212. Get out of here.
You're full of it.
Copy !req
1213. Listen, I'm standing
outside Bazzini's.
Copy !req
1214. Why aren't you open
for lunch?
Copy !req
1215. Closed for lunch,
breakfast, supper.
Copy !req
1216. It's closed, dude.
Copy !req
1217. What?
Closed for good?
Copy !req
1218. Ridiculous.
Copy !req
1219. Listen, where are you?
Copy !req
1220. Waldwick, New Jersey.
Okay.
Copy !req
1221. I was shocked that Gordon
called me on the phone.
Copy !req
1222. Okay, I'm gonna come over.
Copy !req
1223. But, you know,
I always said
Copy !req
1224. from the day
he left Bazzini's,
Copy !req
1225. from the day
he left Bazzini's,
Copy !req
1226. "One of these days,
my phone's gonna ring,
Copy !req
1227. and it's gonna be Gordon Ramsay
on the other end."
Copy !req
1228. So, you see,
you never know.
Copy !req
1229. What the hell?
How are you?
Copy !req
1230. When I first saw Gordon,
Copy !req
1231. I was thrilled
that he came to visit.
Copy !req
1232. He looked really hot.
Copy !req
1233. And what happened?
Copy !req
1234. It closed, like,
after the show aired.
Copy !req
1235. It never had
a lunch service, never.
Copy !req
1236. From the day
I was that fabulous waitress...
Copy !req
1237. Ugh.
Copy !req
1238. Ugh.
Copy !req
1239. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
1240. Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1241. I was late one day,
and he got all pissy
Copy !req
1242. and throwing
all over the place
Copy !req
1243. and being nasty, and I just got
pissed off, and I said,
Copy !req
1244. "I'm out of here."
I just couldn't work there.
Copy !req
1245. After everything
that you did for him?
Right.
Copy !req
1246. Listen, I don't wish
anybody badly.
Copy !req
1247. But I-I was really good
to him,
Copy !req
1248. and he wasn't nice to me.
what a shame.
Copy !req
1249. Um, so Bazzini's
is closed.
Copy !req
1250. Finito.
It's gone.
Copy !req
1251. What are you doing now?
Okay.
Copy !req
1252. So I'm baking.
Check it out.
Copy !req
1253. Cran-apple.
Copy !req
1254. What do you think?
Copy !req
1255. The truth.
Come on, Gordon.
Copy !req
1256. The truth.
Come on, Gordon.
Copy !req
1257. It's delicious.
Copy !req
1258. Is business going well?
Copy !req
1259. Yeah. I'm baking
like a mad woman.
Copy !req
1260. Day and night,
that's all I do—bake.
Copy !req
1261. Okay, go back a bit.
Copy !req
1262. Go back 12 months when we first
arrived at Bazzini's.
Copy !req
1263. Mm-hmm.
Best moment?
Copy !req
1264. When you told me
my carrot cake was the best.
Copy !req
1265. You make love
to that carrot cake, don't you?
Copy !req
1266. Well, I'm getting divorced,
so it's the cake or, uh...
Copy !req
1267. I'll go for the cake.
Copy !req
1268. And the worst was
that stupid fight
Copy !req
1269. in the kitchen.
Copy !req
1270. What the
do you want from me?
Copy !req
1271. Changing it right!
Copy !req
1272. Well, you told me the first
time!
Copy !req
1273. Well, you told me the first
time!
Copy !req
1274. me.
Copy !req
1275. He threw you under the bus,
didn't he?
Copy !req
1276. He did, but I wasn't going—
no way.
Copy !req
1277. If you tried to throw me
under the bus,
Copy !req
1278. I wouldn't stand for it.
Copy !req
1279. So I wouldn't stand for it
from him either.
Copy !req
1280. Well, you have
something unique,
Copy !req
1281. and that's you
and those cakes.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1282. Look after it.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1283. Take care, babe.
You're awesome.
Copy !req
1284. Good to see you.
Take care.
Copy !req
1285. I was thrilled,
really genuinely thrilled.
Copy !req
1286. He's awesome.
Copy !req
1287. Take care.
Copy !req
1288. Take care, darling.
Love you.
Copy !req
1289. You too.
Copy !req
1290. Sharyn, Sharyn, Sharyn—
you got to love her.
Copy !req
1291. This year
the restaurant business
Copy !req
1292. has had one of
the toughest years in decades.
Copy !req
1293. And I'm so happy
that the Junction and Mojito
Copy !req
1294. are thriving.
Copy !req
1295. Good night.
