1. Tonight on
"Kitchen Nightmares,"
Copy !req
2. Chef Ramsay heads
to Rhode Island
Copy !req
3. and finds an owner
in complete denial.
Copy !req
4. I absolutely think
you're full of shit.
Copy !req
5. Her restaurant
may be failing—
Copy !req
6. Dreamer.
Copy !req
7. —but
from the minute Chef
Copy !req
8. Ramsay sets foot in the door, owner Abby battles him—
Copy !req
9. - That was embarrassing.
- That's impossible
Copy !req
10. —every
step of the way.
Copy !req
11. Bring it on.
Copy !req
12. This hot-headed ownerseems incapable of listening—
Copy !req
13. Listen to me.
Copy !req
14. I'm not going to
listen to your shit.
Copy !req
15. —not just to ChefRamsay, but also her staff.
Copy !req
16. While you work for
me, you do it my way.
Copy !req
17. Enough said.
Copy !req
18. If you cannot follow myrules, then get the fuck out.
Copy !req
19. And even comments
from her customers.
Copy !req
20. They're not fucking raw.
Copy !req
21. He's full of shit.
Copy !req
22. Abby is a complete
psycho bitch.
Copy !req
23. Can Chef Ramsay getthrough to this stubborn owner?
Copy !req
24. Abby, you've got to understandhow frustrating this is.
Copy !req
25. Fix it.
Copy !req
26. You fix it.
Copy !req
27. You stuck-up
precious little bitch.
Copy !req
28. Or will this defiant, proud woman be so delusional—
Copy !req
29. You are insane.
Copy !req
30. You are—
Copy !req
31. Yeah, blame me all you want.You're insane.
Copy !req
32. I'm insane?
You're insane.
Copy !req
33. —that she chasesher one last hope out the door?
Copy !req
34. Why don't you get thefuck out of my restaurant?
Copy !req
35. You want me to go?
Copy !req
36. Get the fuck out
of my restaurant.
Copy !req
37. Please.
Copy !req
38. If you're lookingfor a peaceful evening—
Copy !req
39. Are you still here?
Copy !req
40. Time out guys, please.
Copy !req
41. —this is the
one "Kitchen Nightmares"
Copy !req
42. you might want to avoid.
Copy !req
43. I would rather this restaurantclose than have him in here.
Copy !req
44. Providence, Rhodelsland, home to seven colleges
Copy !req
45. and a thriving art scene.
Copy !req
46. This Renaissance city is aconstant beehive of activity.
Copy !req
47. In 2005, Abby and
her best friend
Copy !req
48. Rico bought a restaurant
called DownCity,
Copy !req
49. smack in the center of town.
Copy !req
50. Rico and I were
on the beach one day,
Copy !req
51. and I told him that I wasinterested in buying DownCity.
Copy !req
52. And he said, I want to
own a restaurant, too.
Copy !req
53. I was spending a lot ofmoney in restaurants, eating
Copy !req
54. and drinking, and
I figured why not
Copy !req
55. give myself the money instead?
Copy !req
56. Make it a double.
Copy !req
57. He has a full-time
day job, and my job
Copy !req
58. is to take care of everythingin this restaurant.
Copy !req
59. You start with all the specials.
Copy !req
60. I'm going to get the wine.- OK.
Copy !req
61. I've been in the
restaurant business
Copy !req
62. for 33 years.
Copy !req
63. So the decisions
I make, I really
Copy !req
64. don't consult Rico about them.
Copy !req
65. I just do them.
Copy !req
66. And this would go perfectlywith the pork special.
Copy !req
67. I am the checkbook
behind DownCity,
Copy !req
68. and I was putting 100%
of my faith in Abby.
Copy !req
69. But at this point,
it's not going well.
Copy !req
70. I need more asses in the seats.
Copy !req
71. I think it's a
beautiful restaurant.
Copy !req
72. I think our menu is creative, and the food is good.
Copy !req
73. I don't know what's wrong.
Copy !req
74. What's all fucked up?
Copy !req
75. Abby has herblindfolds on because she
Copy !req
76. doesn't want to admit thatshe's part of the problem.
Copy !req
77. Just give them—
No, let me do it.
Copy !req
78. Abby acts like—
Copy !req
79. Whatever.
Copy !req
80. Don't argue.
Copy !req
81. —Cruella De Vil.
Copy !req
82. I just want an answerwhen I call something out.
Copy !req
83. Abby is a complete
psycho fucking bitch—
Copy !req
84. I just want an answer.
Copy !req
85. —which is a recipe
for utter disaster.
Copy !req
86. I had fixed it yesterday.
Copy !req
87. I checked it before I left.
Copy !req
88. Is this like really
fucking happening?
Copy !req
89. I'm not yelling.
Copy !req
90. I'm talking.
Copy !req
91. They think that this isa democracy, and it's not.
Copy !req
92. If you cannot follow myrules, then get the fuck out.
Copy !req
93. As long as you work for
me, you do it my way.
Copy !req
94. Enough said.
Copy !req
95. It's basically Abby's
way or the highway,
Copy !req
96. and it's definitely whyher restaurant's failing.
Copy !req
97. Welcome to my nightmare.
Copy !req
98. If people arecomplaining about the food,
Copy !req
99. maybe there's something
wrong with the food.
Copy !req
100. It is impossible for the fries to be ice cold.
Copy !req
101. Maybe just Abby saying it'sgreat does not make it great.
Copy !req
102. That's how the
plate is prepared.
Copy !req
103. Do you not like it?
Copy !req
104. No?
Copy !req
105. She built this 50-itemmenu that is just horrible.
Copy !req
106. They hate the
chicken paillard.
Copy !req
107. What?
Copy !req
108. Nobody could say
anything about the menu
Copy !req
109. because it's her menu.
Copy !req
110. She takes it personally.
Copy !req
111. Maybe they're not
the right decisions,
Copy !req
112. but they're my decisions.
Copy !req
113. I have to get Abbyon board to move forward,
Copy !req
114. because my life
is at stake here.
Copy !req
115. All I think about
is why people are
Copy !req
116. not coming to my restaurant.
Copy !req
117. If something
happened here where
Copy !req
118. I had to declarebankruptcy, it could very
Copy !req
119. strongly affect my day job.
Copy !req
120. That's stress.
Copy !req
121. We've got all thesebills to pay this weekend.
Copy !req
122. That's the stack.
Copy !req
123. This week.
Copy !req
124. I've called upon Chef Ramsaybecause of his honesty
Copy !req
125. and bluntness, but he's going tohave his work cut out for him.
Copy !req
126. I guarantee.
Copy !req
127. Hello. Hello, Chef Ramsay.
Copy !req
128. - How are you?
- Welcome to DownCity.
Copy !req
129. - Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.
Copy !req
130. My pleasure.
And your first name is?
Copy !req
131. - Abby.
- Abby.
Copy !req
132. Good to see.
And you're the owner.
Copy !req
133. I'm the owner, general
manager, everything.
Copy !req
134. Yeah.
Copy !req
135. And my business
partner isn't here.
Copy !req
136. - He'll come in tonight.
- OK.
Copy !req
137. - Great.
- Yep.
Copy !req
138. His name is Rico. GORDON RAMSAY: All right.
Copy !req
139. So you're trainedclassically in terms of—
Copy !req
140. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
141. You would not want me
to cook you anything.
Copy !req
142. Oh, really?
Copy !req
143. And on a scale of one
to ten, mark the food.
Copy !req
144. What would you say?
Where are we?
Copy !req
145. - It's a ten.
- Wow.
Copy !req
146. - Wow, wow, wow.
- Yes.
Copy !req
147. Perfect.
Copy !req
148. I'm starving, because the roomservice next door was shocking.
Copy !req
149. The— wait a minute.
Copy !req
150. Wait.
Copy !req
151. The room service next
door was shocking?
Copy !req
152. What do you mean
it was shocking?
Copy !req
153. There's a
little hotel next door,
Copy !req
154. little boutique hotel.
Copy !req
155. We do the room
service for that hotel.
Copy !req
156. What was the problem?
Copy !req
157. Honestly?
Copy !req
158. Yes.
Copy !req
159. - That was embarrassing.
- Why?
Copy !req
160. What did you have?
Copy !req
161. This pissy, grainysoup that was stone cold.
Copy !req
162. Hold on.
Copy !req
163. It gets worse.
Copy !req
164. Crab cakes that werestone cold in the center.
Copy !req
165. It was just like
this ball of mush.
Copy !req
166. Disgusting.
Copy !req
167. Disgusting?
Copy !req
168. Disgusting.
Copy !req
169. Whoa.
Copy !req
170. I was like, Oh
damn, he went there.
Copy !req
171. He just really went there.
Copy !req
172. That's impossible.
Copy !req
173. That's impossible that thecrab cakes were stone cold.
Copy !req
174. You're telling me
I'm exaggerating.
Copy !req
175. I think you're one
of those customers
Copy !req
176. that I would fire immediately. Yeah.
Copy !req
177. You
fire customers?
Copy !req
178. I have.
Copy !req
179. OK.
Copy !req
180. Well, let me sit down and eat—
Copy !req
181. Can I suggest something?
Copy !req
182. I don't want you
to suggest anything,
Copy !req
183. because if you're nowtelling me that that room
Copy !req
184. service was you at
your best, I'm shitting
Copy !req
185. myself before I start eating.
Copy !req
186. - Let me tell you that.
- Wow.
Copy !req
187. Wow.
Copy !req
188. Wow.
Copy !req
189. I don't know what
he's talking about.
Copy !req
190. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Copy !req
191. Where would you
like me to sit?
Copy !req
192. We're going to
go right over here.
Copy !req
193. Excellent.
Copy !req
194. Describe the food for me.
Copy !req
195. Um, comfort food.
Copy !req
196. Middle of the road.
Copy !req
197. Middle of the road?
Copy !req
198. When was the last time
somebody sent food back?
Copy !req
199. Today. GORDON RAMSAY: Oh, today.
Copy !req
200. Oh, you did.
Wow.
Copy !req
201. Wow, wow, wow.
Copy !req
202. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
203. OK.
Copy !req
204. I'll look through the menu.Is this it?
Copy !req
205. Could I suggest something?
Copy !req
206. Or no, you don't
want my suggestion?
Copy !req
207. If you're going to talk
to me honestly, fine.
Copy !req
208. If you're going to start, you know, going defensive—
Copy !req
209. I'm not going
to get defensive.
Copy !req
210. I'm just defending
what we do here.
Copy !req
211. Now, Abby, I'm
not here to argue.
Copy !req
212. You asked me to
come here and look
Copy !req
213. at this place to help you out.
Copy !req
214. Let's get one thing
clear straight away.
Copy !req
215. Cut the bullshit.
OK.
Copy !req
216. If you're going to sitthere and start bullshitting—
Copy !req
217. I'm not sitting.
I'm standing.
Copy !req
218. —I'm going to
go for your balls.
Copy !req
219. - Big time.
- Wow.
Copy !req
220. When you have just told mefive minutes ago that the food
Copy !req
221. is 10 out of 10,
the room service
Copy !req
222. is perfect, basically
I'm going to eat
Copy !req
223. and then I'm going
to leave, unless you
Copy !req
224. start telling me the truth.
Copy !req
225. I don't know where
you're coming from.
Copy !req
226. I really don't knowwhere you're coming from.
Copy !req
227. Let me eat the food.
Copy !req
228. I absolutely think you'refucking full of shit.
Copy !req
229. I've
been here five minutes
Copy !req
230. and already you're in denial.
Copy !req
231. I'm not in denial.
Copy !req
232. I will back up anything
my kitchen does.
Copy !req
233. Fine.
I'm open minded.
Copy !req
234. - Can I order food?
- Absolutely.
Copy !req
235. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
236. Go for it.
Copy !req
237. Appreciate it.
Copy !req
238. Wow, what a welcoming.
Copy !req
239. Welcome to Providence.
Copy !req
240. I didn't know they did
female cage fighters.
Copy !req
241. Holy crap.
Copy !req
242. Boy, I can't wait
until Rico gets here.
Copy !req
243. Hi.
How are you?
Copy !req
244. I'm frothing.How are you?
Copy !req
245. Good, good, good. GORDON RAMSAY: And this is?

Copy !req
247. I'm going to take care of you. Welcome to DownCity.
Copy !req
248. OK, great.
Copy !req
249. So nice to see
that friendly face.
Copy !req
250. Thank you.
Copy !req
251. Is the owner, Abby,
always that defensive?
Copy !req
252. Yeah.
Copy !req
253. It's scaring me.
Copy !req
254. - OK.
Copy !req
255. Appetizers.
Calamari.
Copy !req
256. Yeah.
Copy !req
257. Crispy ringswith hot sweet pepper sauce.
Copy !req
258. Yeah.
Copy !req
259. I'll
go for some of that.
Copy !req
260. OK.
Copy !req
261. You don't spell peppers
like that, either.
Copy !req
262. No, I guess you don't.
Copy !req
263. I didn't even notice that.
Copy !req
264. How long have you been here?
Copy !req
265. Three years.
Copy !req
266. Three years.
Copy !req
267. OK.
Copy !req
268. 3-Way Nachos.
Copy !req
269. It says it's a
party in my mouth.
Copy !req
270. Yeah.
Copy !req
271. Well,
it it's good enough
Copy !req
272. to be part of the menu,
I'm going to try it.
Copy !req
273. So I'll good for
party in your mouth.
Copy !req
274. OK.
Copy !req
275. And the
award-winning meatloaf.
Copy !req
276. That's our claim to fame.
Copy !req
277. Really.
Copy !req
278. Thanks, Josh.
Copy !req
279. You're welcome.
Copy !req
280. Please, may god, wedon't die in Rhode Island.
Copy !req
281. OK.
Copy !req
282. This is Gordon Ramsay's order.
Copy !req
283. Let's make orders move.
Copy !req
284. I'm a good cook, but
that is not my menu.
Copy !req
285. Of course I want to dowell, but I'm not sure what
Copy !req
286. Chef Ramsay's going to think.
Copy !req
287. He's like, is this how youspell peppers in America?
Copy !req
288. Three Ps— because
it's P-E-P-P—
Copy !req
289. Yeah.
Copy !req
290. There's three Ps in it.
Copy !req
291. There is?
Copy !req
292. - Hi.
- How are you?
Copy !req
293. - How are you?
- Very well.
Copy !req
294. Thank you.
Good to see you.
Copy !req
295. Nice to meet you.
Jason.
Copy !req
296. Likewise.
Gordon.
Copy !req
297. Good to see you.
So you're a waiter?
Copy !req
298. Waiter, yes.
Copy !req
299. Dining room manager, yes.
Copy !req
300. Brilliant.
Copy !req
301. And being the head
waiter, how would
Copy !req
302. you describe the food here?
Copy !req
303. Below par.
Copy !req
304. Yeah.
Copy !req
305. Abby said it was a 10,
so I'm in for a treat.
Copy !req
306. Yes.
Copy !req
307. Calamari.
Copy !req
308. OK.
Copy !req
309. Well, this is the
Crispy Calamari?
Copy !req
310. Calamari.
Copy !req
311. Yes.
Copy !req
312. And why is it looking so wet?
Copy !req
313. It's a sauce
that they toss it in.
Copy !req
314. Just say that again.
Copy !req
315. You fry it—
Copy !req
316. - They fry it.
—and then you—
Copy !req
317. Then they toss it in sauce.
Copy !req
318. And
it's soaking wet.
Copy !req
319. All the crispy batter
is just coming off.
Copy !req
320. You know, it's noteverybody's cup of tea.
Copy !req
321. It's not mine.
Copy !req
322. It certainly is
not mine either.
Copy !req
323. However, I'm optimistic.
Copy !req
324. What do you think?
Copy !req
325. No.
Copy !req
326. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
327. I mean, look at that there.Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
328. Oh my god.
Copy !req
329. - I'm done with that one.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
330. I'll get rid of it for you.- I don't understand it.
Copy !req
331. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Copy !req
332. Wow.
Copy !req
333. Soggy, chewy,
disgusting calamari.
Copy !req
334. Shocking.
Copy !req
335. What did he say about it?
Copy !req
336. He just spit the
calamari back out.
Copy !req
337. Oh, classy.
Copy !req
338. That's hysterical.
Copy !req
339. What was he bitching about?
Copy !req
340. He spit it out.
Copy !req
341. I'm going to, like,
go at his throat today.
Copy !req
342. And this is a
party in your mouth.
Copy !req
343. This is the party my mouth? Should be.
Copy !req
344. Top plate, very hot.
Copy !req
345. It
looks dreadful.
Copy !req
346. I think I've just
thrown up in my mouth.
Copy !req
347. What a mess.
Copy !req
348. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
349. Fuck.
Copy !req
350. I'm taking it
that was one party
Copy !req
351. you didn't want to attend.
Copy !req
352. It wasn't
a party in my mouth.
Copy !req
353. It was like a
funeral in my mouth.
Copy !req
354. A funeral?
Copy !req
355. Yeah.
Copy !req
356. Well, it kind of doeslook like something died.
Copy !req
357. What's the matter with that?
Copy !req
358. It's gross.
Copy !req
359. What?
Copy !req
360. We're not
doing too good here.
Copy !req
361. I was ready
to, like, choke him.
Copy !req
362. Maybe this is the
one thing he'll like.
Copy !req
363. He doesn't like anything.
Copy !req
364. Maybe this will be the one.
Copy !req
365. What, the meatloaf?
Copy !req
366. The meatloaf.
Copy !req
367. Maybe this will be it.
Copy !req
368. That's the meatloaf.
Copy !req
369. OK.
Copy !req
370. And this is the award-winning—
Copy !req
371. - The award-winning meatloaf.- Yeah?
Copy !req
372. I'm excited.
Thank you.
Copy !req
373. You're welcome.
Copy !req
374. It doesn't move
on there, does it?
Copy !req
375. Oof.
Copy !req
376. Wow.
Copy !req
377. That's disgusting.
Copy !req
378. What do we think?
Copy !req
379. Wow.
Copy !req
380. It's not even hot.
Copy !req
381. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
382. It's sort of lukewarm, solidified chunks of crap.
Copy !req
383. That's pretty much the norm.
Copy !req
384. It must be
frickin' embarrassing
Copy !req
385. for you to serve this.
Copy !req
386. It is embarrassing.
Copy !req
387. I don't like the
meatloaf here at all.
Copy !req
388. We set ourself up fordisappointment when we put
Copy !req
389. award-winning in front of it.
Copy !req
390. What was theproblem with the meatloaf?
Copy !req
391. It's disgusting.
Copy !req
392. Can you be more specific?I didn't hear—
Copy !req
393. I didn't hear what he said.
Copy !req
394. You're going to have to ask him.
Copy !req
395. Abby and Chef Ramsayare going to go to blows.
Copy !req
396. Can I have a
word with the team?
Copy !req
397. It's inevitable.
It's going to happen.
Copy !req
398. So the
food was shocking,
Copy !req
399. below par, disgusting,
dated shit.
Copy !req
400. So who is the head chef here?
Copy !req
401. We don't really have
one, but I guess—
Copy !req
402. What do you mean, you
don't have a head chef?
Copy !req
403. —but I guess I'm
the closest thing.
Copy !req
404. Closest.
What does that mean?
Copy !req
405. Talk to me, Abby.
Copy !req
406. That means that I firedmy other chef, and he took over.
Copy !req
407. And I didn't want
to give him a title
Copy !req
408. until he proved to himself thathe could handle the kitchen.
Copy !req
409. Abby,
what you're employing
Copy !req
410. is a ship with no
captain at the helm
Copy !req
411. and the team desperate
for guidance.
Copy !req
412. No guidance is no standards.
Copy !req
413. No standards is no consistency.
Copy !req
414. So who came up with the menu?
Copy !req
415. If this is American
comfort food,
Copy !req
416. somebody is dreaming here.
Copy !req
417. I did.
Copy !req
418. - So—
- I did.
Copy !req
419. I take full responsibilityfor the menu.
Copy !req
420. You have no cooking background, but you put the menu together.
Copy !req
421. Abby, you've got to understandhow frustrating this is.
Copy !req
422. It's ridiculous.
Copy !req
423. I don't know what to say. Fix it.
Copy !req
424. You fix it.
That's why you're here.
Copy !req
425. Oh, come on, Abby.
Copy !req
426. How can I fix it
when you stand there
Copy !req
427. in front of your team ratingyou and your restaurant
Copy !req
428. and your food 10 out of 10.
Copy !req
429. Dreamer.
Copy !req
430. I don't— I don't thinkit's as bad as you say it is.
Copy !req
431. OK,
stop being in denial.
Copy !req
432. Can you be morespecific about the meatloaf?
Copy !req
433. What did you not like
about the meatloaf?
Copy !req
434. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
435. Can you say
something besides—
Copy !req
436. You're loopy.
Copy !req
437. I've been called
worse than that.
Copy !req
438. Wake up and admit it's shit.
Copy !req
439. Bring it on.
Copy !req
440. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
441. Bring it on.
Copy !req
442. What you mean, bring it on?
Copy !req
443. To have Chef Ramsaysay everything you've done,
Copy !req
444. everything that youdreamed of doing is shit,
Copy !req
445. I was blown away.
Copy !req
446. I need some fresh air.
Copy !req
447. Coming up on
"Kitchen Nightmares."
Copy !req
448. Here we go.
Copy !req
449. The
battle intensifies.
Copy !req
450. You're in this shit,
and you can't sense it.
Copy !req
451. Fuck you.
Copy !req
452. Abby reaches
her breaking point—
Copy !req
453. I'm not going
to listen to you.
Copy !req
454. —but do
does Chef Ramsay.
Copy !req
455. You stuck up,
precious little bitch.
Copy !req
456. It's a
blow-out so explosive—
Copy !req
457. I will go.
Copy !req
458. Get the fuck out
of my restaurant.
Copy !req
459. I will—
you want me to go?
Copy !req
460. —that it
rivals anything Chef
Copy !req
461. Ramsay has ever faced before.
Copy !req
462. She's
deluded, that woman.
Copy !req
463. That's coming upon "Kitchen Nightmares."
Copy !req
464. After ChefRamsay's harsh critique—
Copy !req
465. The food wasshocking, dated, and tasteless.
Copy !req
466. —Abby
has a conversation
Copy !req
467. with the one person shebelieves is always right.
Copy !req
468. Herself.
Copy !req
469. So what do I do?
Copy !req
470. Like, just get out of
the restaurant business?
Copy !req
471. Then obviously my 33 yearsin the business is worthless
Copy !req
472. and I have no idea what
the fuck I'm doing.
Copy !req
473. OK.
Copy !req
474. I think I'm going to openup that hot dog stand
Copy !req
475. on the beach.
Copy !req
476. Want some tea or something?
Copy !req
477. No.
Copy !req
478. I believe from the bottom of my heart that he is wrong.
Copy !req
479. I really don't
care what he says.
Copy !req
480. He's completely full of shit.
Copy !req
481. Like seriously?
Copy !req
482. Our meatloaf is, like,
what put us on the map.
Copy !req
483. I mean, it's great.
Copy !req
484. I don't
like the meatloaf.
Copy !req
485. You really don't?
Copy !req
486. I honestly don't.
Copy !req
487. We had it the
other night together.
Copy !req
488. What?
Copy !req
489. What didn't you like about it?
Copy !req
490. I think our
food is mediocre.
Copy !req
491. Like, it's not—
Copy !req
492. Mini, seriously.
Copy !req
493. You're telling me now
you don't like it?
Copy !req
494. We eat it
because we're here.
Copy !req
495. This is not my
restaurant of choice.
Copy !req
496. I will not dine
here in my off time.
Copy !req
497. You're saying
for what we serve,
Copy !req
498. comfort food,
meatloaf, pasta, steak,
Copy !req
499. whatever, you're
saying for those—
Copy !req
500. So now you're all telling methat you don't like the menu?
Copy !req
501. I feel stabbed in
the back, I guess.
Copy !req
502. You're just hitting
me with this now.
Copy !req
503. Do you know we're upagainst if we even opened
Copy !req
504. our mouth about the menu once?
Copy !req
505. Every time we opened our mouth—
Copy !req
506. fuck off, fuck you, you
don't know anything.
Copy !req
507. We're all at a point
now where we're
Copy !req
508. just like if this is what shewants, let's just serve it out.
Copy !req
509. We'll take it out of the windowand bring it to the table.
Copy !req
510. And try to make
the best out of it.
Copy !req
511. What are we going tohave an opinion about now?
Copy !req
512. Oh, you're
so full of shit.
Copy !req
513. No, no.
No, no.
Copy !req
514. You're so full of shit. Sit and talk to us.
Copy !req
515. No.
Copy !req
516. Without a doubt,
she's in denial.
Copy !req
517. It's an hour
before dinner service,
Copy !req
518. and DownCity's other
owner, Rico, shows up—
Copy !req
519. Hello.
Copy !req
520. —unaware of
what happened earlier,
Copy !req
521. but that's quickly
about to change.
Copy !req
522. How are you?
Copy !req
523. I don't even know
how to answer that.
Copy !req
524. I think it's time for Abbyto find out that the outbursts
Copy !req
525. and treating employees badly—
Copy !req
526. I think it's
definitely time she has
Copy !req
527. someone other than
myself telling her
Copy !req
528. you can't be doing this.
Copy !req
529. Really?
Copy !req
530. Wow.
Copy !req
531. I have another ass— awhole other asshole back there
Copy !req
532. that has been ripped open.
Copy !req
533. Make it a double.
Oh.
Copy !req
534. Hide.
Copy !req
535. How are you?
Copy !req
536. I'll get up.
Copy !req
537. I'll go say hi to him.
Copy !req
538. Gordon? GORDON RAMSAY: Good to see you.
Copy !req
539. Nice to meet you.
I'm Rico.
Copy !req
540. Rico.Now, have you got two minutes?
Copy !req
541. - Sure.- We're going to catch up.
Copy !req
542. Where should we go?
Copy !req
543. Yeah, let's go in there.
Copy !req
544. He may rip me
apart, too, but I just
Copy !req
545. want this restaurant to work.
Copy !req
546. So let's get turning it around.
Copy !req
547. What a day.
Copy !req
548. Obviously you weren't
here for lunch.
Copy !req
549. Just explain what you
do during the day.
Copy !req
550. I work for a credit
union during the day.
Copy !req
551. I do their mortgages for them.- OK.
Copy !req
552. Wow.
Finance.
Copy !req
553. Yes, finance.
Copy !req
554. And then
you bought a restaurant.
Copy !req
555. Then I bought a restaurant.
Copy !req
556. How has that worked
out for you so far?
Copy !req
557. Oh, horribly.
Copy !req
558. If you had to close thistomorrow, what are you in for?
Copy !req
559. Shit.
Really?
Copy !req
560. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
561. Well, this is quite
serious shit now.
Copy !req
562. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
563. What
happens if it fails?
Copy !req
564. I could possibly
lose my day job.
Copy !req
565. Really?
Copy !req
566. Because I'm in
the financial field.
Copy !req
567. I'm advising people on whatto do with their mortgaging
Copy !req
568. and financing their propertiesand things like that.
Copy !req
569. So you're up to there.
Copy !req
570. You've got a big stake
in this restaurant
Copy !req
571. and a huge amount of
jeopardy if it fails.
Copy !req
572. You're right.
Copy !req
573. There is a line
that I walk in here.
Copy !req
574. A very fine line.
Copy !req
575. I have a lot at
stake, but I totally
Copy !req
576. let Abby run the
restaurant, and maybe
Copy !req
577. that's a mistake on my part.
Copy !req
578. With dinnerservice already under way—
Copy !req
579. What about somethingto drink to get you started?
Copy !req
580. —Chef Ramsay
is eager to spend
Copy !req
581. some time in the kitchen
to see how it functions.
Copy !req
582. Wow.
Copy !req
583. Tight behind the line.
Copy !req
584. So who's doing what?
Copy !req
585. Explain the line to me.
Copy !req
586. Right.
Copy !req
587. Jesus.
Copy !req
588. Why is the place so messy?
Copy !req
589. Is the kitchen
normally this filthy?
Copy !req
590. The last couple daysit's been a lot going on.
Copy !req
591. That is foul.
Copy !req
592. With the
kitchen in disarray,
Copy !req
593. Chef Ramsay goes on the hunt tofind out what is lurking below.
Copy !req
594. Oh my god.
Copy !req
595. Oh, this is gross down here.
Copy !req
596. Holy crap.
Copy !req
597. Look at that.
Copy !req
598. Lamb bones, just dumped
in there like that.
Copy !req
599. What is that?
Copy !req
600. Chicken carcasses.
Copy !req
601. Oh my god.
Copy !req
602. And while
Chef Ramsay has
Copy !req
603. his hands full in the walk-in—
Copy !req
604. God
knows what that is.
Copy !req
605. —Abby as her handsfull in the dining room.
Copy !req
606. Abby, I need a new calamariwith the sauce on the side
Copy !req
607. because he said it's too mushy.
Copy !req
608. Can I have another calamariwith the sauce on the side,
Copy !req
609. please?
Copy !req
610. Is it?
Copy !req
611. Let me take it out
of the way for you.
Copy !req
612. I need a spin dip.
Copy !req
613. This is cold.
Copy !req
614. I'm going out
of my mind right now.
Copy !req
615. It's a nightmare.
Copy !req
616. Can we just 86 this special?
Copy !req
617. Every single one of
them has been sent back.
Copy !req
618. Ah, Rico, Abby.
Copy !req
619. I just need one minute.
Copy !req
620. Just both of you together.One minute.
Copy !req
621. Why right now?
Copy !req
622. Like, are you kidding me?
Copy !req
623. Have
a look in there.
Copy !req
624. Look at the state of whatthey're cooking out of.
Copy !req
625. Have you no idea what's inwhat box, what goes where?
Copy !req
626. Over here you've got a littlebag of chicken carcasses.
Copy !req
627. On this one here, you've
got some raw chicken,
Copy !req
628. cooked pork there.
Copy !req
629. This is you with 30
years in the business.
Copy !req
630. Hold on.
Copy !req
631. It gets worse.
Copy !req
632. I don't know what that is.
Copy !req
633. It's a cheese or something, but what is that there?
Copy !req
634. What is that?
What?
Copy !req
635. Are you lost for words?
Copy !req
636. The place is a filthy mess.
Copy !req
637. Look.
Copy !req
638. What is that?
Copy !req
639. Lamb bones?
Copy !req
640. And who's organizing this?
Copy !req
641. You haven't got a head chef.
Copy !req
642. Jimmy is my head chef.
Copy !req
643. So we have a head chef.
Copy !req
644. Before, you weren't ready toconfirm he was the head chef.
Copy !req
645. All of a sudden wediscovered a mess down here,
Copy !req
646. now he's appointed.
Copy !req
647. What, Abby? What?
Copy !req
648. I was talking to Rico.
Copy !req
649. It has nothing to do with you.
Copy !req
650. It has nothing to do with me.No.
Copy !req
651. Excuse me, what do you think I'm doing?
Copy !req
652. I mean, I—
I'm trying—
Copy !req
653. You're being
a fucking asshole.
Copy !req
654. This wasn't like this. GORDON RAMSAY: Hold on a minute.
Copy !req
655. It wasn't like this.I don't run a kitchen like this.
Copy !req
656. Hold on a minute.
Copy !req
657. You're calling me
a fucking asshole?
Copy !req
658. I am.
Copy !req
659. You stuck up,
precious little bitch.
Copy !req
660. Let me tell you something.- Oh, boy.
Copy !req
661. - Here we go.
- Listen to me.
Copy !req
662. I'm not going
to listen to you.
Copy !req
663. You're in denial.
Copy !req
664. I'm not in denial. GORDON RAMSAY: Yes, you are.
Copy !req
665. Yes, you are.
Copy !req
666. And you can't even accept it.
Copy !req
667. Fuck you.
Copy !req
668. Don't walk out again.
I am.
Copy !req
669. - Fuck you.
- There you go.
Copy !req
670. Flip the bird.
Copy !req
671. That's your attitude,
and that's your partner.
Copy !req
672. I'm really sorry, but this waslike this before I got here.
Copy !req
673. She's deluded, that woman.
Copy !req
674. You are insane.
Copy !req
675. You are, like—
Copy !req
676. Yeah,
blame me all you want.
Copy !req
677. These excuses,
that— you're insane.
Copy !req
678. I'm insane?
You're insane!
Copy !req
679. You can'teven hear the fucking truth.
Copy !req
680. You're fucking insane.
Copy !req
681. That refrigerator was notlike that before you got here.
Copy !req
682. You're in denial.
Flip out again.
Copy !req
683. I would never allow thatrefrigerator to look like that.
Copy !req
684. And those bones?
Copy !req
685. The moldy lamb bones?
Copy !req
686. I don't even talk
to my staff like this.
Copy !req
687. Why don't you get thefuck out of my restaurant?
Copy !req
688. - You want me to go?- I would love you to go.
Copy !req
689. I will go.
Copy !req
690. Get the fuck out of
my restaurant, please.
Copy !req
691. I will go.
Copy !req
692. You are so in denial,
you need therapy.
Copy !req
693. You're a disgrace
to this industry.
Copy !req
694. Fuck you, and get
out of my restaurant.
Copy !req
695. Are you still here?GORDON RAMSAY: Not now, guys.
Copy !req
696. Please.
Please, please.
Copy !req
697. Fuck him.
Copy !req
698. Right
from the beginning,
Copy !req
699. Chef Ramsay and
Abby have clashed.
Copy !req
700. Stop being in denial.
Copy !req
701. I don't think it's as
bad as you say it is.
Copy !req
702. Dreamer.
Copy !req
703. But after
a confrontation
Copy !req
704. over the state of the walk-in—
Copy !req
705. You're being a
fucking asshole.
Copy !req
706. This wasn't like this.
Copy !req
707. You're calling me
a fucking asshole?
Copy !req
708. Fuck you.
Copy !req
709. —Abby has
completely lost it.
Copy !req
710. You are insane.
Copy !req
711. You are like—
Copy !req
712. Yeah,
blame me all you want.
Copy !req
713. These excuses, that
you're insane—
Copy !req
714. I'm insane?
You're insane!
Copy !req
715. And while she hashad enough of Chef Ramsay—
Copy !req
716. Get the fuck out of
my restaurant, please.
Copy !req
717. I will go.
Copy !req
718. You are so in denial,
you need therapy.
Copy !req
719. —he has
had enough of her.
Copy !req
720. You're a disgrace
to this industry.
Copy !req
721. Fuck you, and get
out of my restaurant.
Copy !req
722. Are you still here?
Copy !req
723. Not now, guys, please.
Please, please.
Copy !req
724. Fuck him.
Copy !req
725. Chef Ramsay?
Copy !req
726. Hey, guys.
Copy !req
727. I need some privacy, please?
Copy !req
728. This is too serious,
and I'm not going
Copy !req
729. to jeopardize 25 years bustingmy ass off in this industry
Copy !req
730. to take that from
someone so in denial.
Copy !req
731. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
732. I really don't need this.
Copy !req
733. I would rather this restaurantclose than have him in here.
Copy !req
734. That refrigeration
unit was a mess.
Copy !req
735. Behind the line was a mess.
Copy !req
736. I'm really sorry.
Copy !req
737. I know.
Copy !req
738. Honestly, she's got
to start listening.
Copy !req
739. I know.
Copy !req
740. And I don't know how
to make her do it.
Copy !req
741. I really— I don't know.
Copy !req
742. He's coming back
tonight, isn't he?
Copy !req
743. I don't give a
fuck where he goes.
Copy !req
744. He can go to hell
for all I care.
Copy !req
745. If you want me to
leave, I'm out of here.
Copy !req
746. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
747. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
748. OK.
Copy !req
749. I need your help.
Copy !req
750. You've got
my 100% support.
Copy !req
751. 100%.
Copy !req
752. OK.
Copy !req
753. I'm going to go for awalk, and I'll come back.
Copy !req
754. OK?
Thank you.
Copy !req
755. Thank you.
Copy !req
756. Abby needs to be
on board with us
Copy !req
757. and stop her denial
of everything.
Copy !req
758. We have to break through it.
Copy !req
759. I feel pretty shitty.
Copy !req
760. How would you feel if someoneis telling you that your life's
Copy !req
761. work and everything
you've dreamed of doing
Copy !req
762. for your whole life is shit?
Copy !req
763. Now I'm completely
questioning myself,
Copy !req
764. and I hope we can have aconversation about what needs
Copy !req
765. to be done in this restaurant.
Copy !req
766. After a volatile
evening that included
Copy !req
767. a massive blow-up with ChefRamsay and a weak dinner
Copy !req
768. service, Abby has
been clearly humbled
Copy !req
769. and seems ready
to finally listen
Copy !req
770. to what Chef Ramsay has to say.- OK.
Copy !req
771. Let's agree on something.
Copy !req
772. Today has been a shit day.- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
773. - Yeah?
- Absolute shit.
Copy !req
774. I'm not here to
rub your face in it.
Copy !req
775. Let's get that right.
Copy !req
776. OK.
Copy !req
777. But, Abby, you know, I'vehad failure in my life.
Copy !req
778. But one thing I'm
not in is denial.
Copy !req
779. And when I do make a
mistake, I admit it.
Copy !req
780. I understand.
Copy !req
781. So
tomorrow we need
Copy !req
782. to start being honest and openso I can start rebuilding.
Copy !req
783. I can't rebuild on BS.
Copy !req
784. I agree.
I want you to be here.
Copy !req
785. I want you to help me
get this restaurant
Copy !req
786. to where I need it to be.
Copy !req
787. Where we know it can be.
Copy !req
788. Yes.
Copy !req
789. Tomorrow we start again.
Copy !req
790. Get some rest.
Copy !req
791. It's a new
day, and Abby and Rico
Copy !req
792. are on board for change.
Copy !req
793. Morning,
morning, morning.
Copy !req
794. But before
that can happen
Copy !req
795. Chef Ramsay wants to givethe staff something they
Copy !req
796. have been rarely given—
Copy !req
797. a chance to talk freely
without getting fired.
Copy !req
798. So here's
what we're going to do.
Copy !req
799. I want each of you towrite down some questions
Copy !req
800. and direct them to the person
you want them to answer.
Copy !req
801. This is going to beanother hell day for me.
Copy !req
802. Don't
sign your name.
Copy !req
803. It's anonymous.
Copy !req
804. I knew that
if we were going
Copy !req
805. to do an exercise in talkingabout the restaurant,
Copy !req
806. I knew that it was allgoing to be directed at me.
Copy !req
807. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
808. OK, good.
Copy !req
809. Here's the first one.
Copy !req
810. Wow.
Copy !req
811. Abby, why is the menu so huge?
Copy !req
812. We— just to givethe customer more choices.
Copy !req
813. But the amount of
dishes is absurd.
Copy !req
814. And the more dishes,
the lower the standards.
Copy !req
815. Abby and Jimmy, the qualityof the food needs to improve.
Copy !req
816. How can we fix it?
Copy !req
817. Good question.
Copy !req
818. It— it all comes
down to menu size.
Copy !req
819. With as many items
that there are,
Copy !req
820. if you prep 50 items
just for dinner alone,
Copy !req
821. and then the dessert menu, you can't prep enough stuff.
Copy !req
822. Yes.
Copy !req
823. It's like you
just can't do it.
Copy !req
824. Who's putting all
those dishes on there?
Copy !req
825. Abigail.
Copy !req
826. Abby.
Copy !req
827. When I put this menu
together I just expected
Copy !req
828. my staff to just do this menu.
Copy !req
829. Abby, why do you not
allow anyone to express
Copy !req
830. their opinions without itbeing seen as a personal attack
Copy !req
831. to you?
Copy !req
832. Since I bought
this restaurant,
Copy !req
833. I became a defensive bitch.
Copy !req
834. I question, and I
get upset at the fact
Copy !req
835. that you're questioning
what I'm doing.
Copy !req
836. That's paranoia.
Copy !req
837. We do care about
this restaurant.
Copy !req
838. You are our friend.
Copy !req
839. So we want to see you
succeed, and the answer
Copy !req
840. I've gotten from you in the pastis fuck you, that's not true.
Copy !req
841. We're just here for money.
Copy !req
842. Or we're just here—
- What?
Copy !req
843. —because— we're justhere because we can't get
Copy !req
844. other jobs or something.
Copy !req
845. And it's hurtful becausewhen you invest so much time
Copy !req
846. and you do— we would
do anything for you.
Copy !req
847. And I completely
realize we've
Copy !req
848. just got to talk more insteadof me yelling and screaming.
Copy !req
849. It can't just be my show.
Copy !req
850. It's not the Abby show.
Copy !req
851. It's the DownCity show.
Copy !req
852. Are you ready
to embrace change?
Copy !req
853. Yes.
Absolutely.
Copy !req
854. Major change?
Copy !req
855. Absolutely.
Copy !req
856. I think this experienceis making Abby realize that she
Copy !req
857. has to relinquish control.
Copy !req
858. And I think she's going
to do it because I think
Copy !req
859. Abby turning around
is definitely
Copy !req
860. paramount for this
restaurant to survive.
Copy !req
861. Coming up on
"Kitchen Nightmares."
Copy !req
862. Can I have some foodup in the window, please?
Copy !req
863. Abby may be
focused on moving ahead.
Copy !req
864. Come on, guys.
Copy !req
865. But can her kitchenstaff step up their game?
Copy !req
866. I'm confused on
where we are for apps.
Copy !req
867. Oh my god.
Copy !req
868. Chef Ramsay
tries desperately to see
Copy !req
869. DownCity from going down.
Copy !req
870. We're
falling behind.
Copy !req
871. We've got to work together.
Copy !req
872. But thisProvidence restaurant could
Copy !req
873. be too hopeless to turn around.
Copy !req
874. None of us know what
the fuck we're doing.
Copy !req
875. All right, Jimmy.
Copy !req
876. Let's go, bud.
Copy !req
877. As Abby's menu
was clearly bogging down
Copy !req
878. the kitchen, Chef Ramsay
has gone through it
Copy !req
879. and scaled it back.
Copy !req
880. Tonight we're just
Copy !req
881. going to keep it really simple.
Copy !req
882. For tonight's
dinner service,
Copy !req
883. half the items are off themenu, and he's introducing
Copy !req
884. a roasted chicken special.
Copy !req
885. Just takethe breast, fat side down.
Copy !req
886. Just cut through.
Copy !req
887. Everyone decided wecan't have another night
Copy !req
888. like the previous few.
Copy !req
889. It's time to get it right.
Copy !req
890. Happy?
Copy !req
891. Happy.
Copy !req
892. Makes it a lot more simple.
Copy !req
893. Big time.
Copy !req
894. Folks, good evening.
Copy !req
895. Welcome to DownCity.
Copy !req
896. Follow me.
Copy !req
897. Did you guys decide
on the appetizers?
Copy !req
898. We're going to havean order of the calamari.
Copy !req
899. So we're
doing two calamaris?
Copy !req
900. Let's get thegrilled chicken breast, please.
Copy !req
901. Chicken breast?
Yes.
Copy !req
902. I've got to get
everyone involved
Copy !req
903. if we are going to takeDownCity to the next step,
Copy !req
904. to the next level.
Copy !req
905. All right.
Here we go.
Copy !req
906. Order to fire, calamari, fris e salad, nicoise salad.
Copy !req
907. Make sure everythingcomes up at the same time.
Copy !req
908. Tonight's smaller menuis having an immediate impact.
Copy !req
909. Wipe the plates, please.
Copy !req
910. Better-prepared
appetizers are
Copy !req
911. quickly leaving the kitchen.
Copy !req
912. That's 37.
Copy !req
913. That's up.
Copy !req
914. These appetizers go to 39.
Copy !req
915. Can you help her run?
Copy !req
916. And when you combinethat with a calm and under
Copy !req
917. control Abby at the helm—
Copy !req
918. Can you run this to
Nick's table, please?
Copy !req
919. —DownCity's dinnerservice is off to a good start.
Copy !req
920. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
921. Order fire, a calamari, another fris e salad, no egg.
Copy !req
922. Jimmy, we've got to bang
all these entr es out.
Copy !req
923. I know.
I know.
Copy !req
924. - I know.
- Here.
Copy !req
925. You're on apps.
Copy !req
926. You're on table 28.
Copy !req
927. Shit.
Copy !req
928. Now I'm confused on
where we are for apps.
Copy !req
929. Give me table 28.
Copy !req
930. I don't even
have a 36 up here.
Copy !req
931. What are you talking about?- I don't— I didn't say 36.
Copy !req
932. 1, 2, 3—
Copy !req
933. Come on, guys.
Copy !req
934. There's nothing coming out.
Copy !req
935. Jimmy is supposed tobe the leader in the kitchen,
Copy !req
936. - calling out tickets.
- Do me a favor.
Copy !req
937. Get two of— oh,
you're doing something?
Copy !req
938. And they just
started crossing paths.
Copy !req
939. No one seemed to
know what the hell
Copy !req
940. they were doing back there.
Copy !req
941. 29 and 39.
Yes or no?
Copy !req
942. No, I'm still
waiting on 28.
Copy !req
943. It's an hour anda half into a dinner service
Copy !req
944. that started out as promising—
Copy !req
945. Can I have some foodup in the window, please?
Copy !req
946. No.
Dude.
Copy !req
947. Dude.
Copy !req
948. This couscous is
runny and gross.
Copy !req
949. —but unfortunatelyhas declined rapidly.
Copy !req
950. They're not even here.
Copy !req
951. That's all the way down there.
Copy !req
952. They have none of this.
Copy !req
953. And not
surprisingly, diners
Copy !req
954. are losing their patience.
Copy !req
955. Can I get somethingup on the line, please?
Copy !req
956. Yeah, it's right now.
Copy !req
957. Right now.
Copy !req
958. Jimmy's doing
all three sections.
Copy !req
959. He's covering the grill.
Copy !req
960. He's covering the salmon. He's covering the chicken.
Copy !req
961. And he's trying run the kitchen, as well, at the same time.
Copy !req
962. He's got nothing behind him.
Copy !req
963. Oh my god.
Copy !req
964. What a shit show.
Copy !req
965. We've been here since 6:30and it's already 25 of and we
Copy !req
966. still don't have our entr e.I know.
Copy !req
967. I'm going to go check
on your entr es—
Copy !req
968. So this is not good.
—right now.
Copy !req
969. I've got people that had puttheir orders in an hour and 15,
Copy !req
970. hour and a half, some of them.
Copy !req
971. Where the fuck was that food?
Copy !req
972. Let's find our server
and let's just go.
Copy !req
973. Did that re-fired chicken go?
Copy !req
974. Give it to them.
Copy !req
975. I need it right now, please.
Copy !req
976. Come on!
Copy !req
977. Is it your first
time at the rodeo?
Copy !req
978. Plate them!
Copy !req
979. Guys, I've got food
dying in the window.
Copy !req
980. Chris, please.
Copy !req
981. Yeah, I can't take this.
Copy !req
982. It was a disgrace.
Copy !req
983. It was horrifying.
Copy !req
984. It was embarrassing.
Copy !req
985. Don't make this.
Copy !req
986. They just walked.
Copy !req
987. Oh my god.
Copy !req
988. Jimmy doesn't have
any excuses anymore.
Copy !req
989. His excuse for months hasbeen our menu is too big.
Copy !req
990. So we give him a
smaller menu to do,
Copy !req
991. and they still
can't turn it out.
Copy !req
992. So, I mean, where
do we go from here?
Copy !req
993. I need one chicken up
on the line right now.
Copy !req
994. With Abbypushing her kitchen staff—
Copy !req
995. I'm not taking this outuntil it's all up on the line.
Copy !req
996. Can I have a chicken
on the line, please?
Copy !req
997. - In my hand.
- OK.
Copy !req
998. —they
still struggle—
Copy !req
999. Food!
Copy !req
1000. —but manage toget the last entr es out.
Copy !req
1001. There we go.
Copy !req
1002. And that's everything?
Copy !req
1003. Start cleaning up.
Copy !req
1004. Good night.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1005. Good night.
Copy !req
1006. Thank you.
Copy !req
1007. Now an
unusually calm Abby—
Copy !req
1008. Jimmy—
Come out here.
Copy !req
1009. Listen to me.
Copy !req
1010. —is
about to let loose.
Copy !req
1011. What I saw tonight
was the worst shit show.
Copy !req
1012. I've ever seen.
Copy !req
1013. Ever, ever, ever seen.
No.
Copy !req
1014. I know.
I know.
Copy !req
1015. I know.
Copy !req
1016. It did not go smoothly,
but they— they— they—
Copy !req
1017. Smoothly?
Copy !req
1018. Jimmy, we were
an hour in before more
Copy !req
1019. than two dinners went out.
Copy !req
1020. An hour into service.
Copy !req
1021. I'm almost accepting
that none of us
Copy !req
1022. know what the fuck
we're doing and we
Copy !req
1023. can't get to the next step.
Copy !req
1024. I'm actually considering that.
Copy !req
1025. After tonight I don't know if I have the staff to get it back.
Copy !req
1026. I don't know if we can do it.
Copy !req
1027. Tonight's
dinner service
Copy !req
1028. was plagued by confusion andincompetence in the kitchen.
Copy !req
1029. Can I get somethingup on the line, please?
Copy !req
1030. I'm confused on where we are.
Copy !req
1031. Come on!
Copy !req
1032. Is it your first
time at the rodeo?
Copy !req
1033. Plate them!
Copy !req
1034. The problems areobvious to Chef Ramsay,
Copy !req
1035. but it's time to find outif Abby is still in denial.
Copy !req
1036. Abby, what did you see tonight?
Copy !req
1037. What happened is it
happens all the time.
Copy !req
1038. As soon as the line getshit with a number of slips
Copy !req
1039. at one time, the kitchen folds.
Copy !req
1040. It goes down in flames.
Copy !req
1041. And I've lost confidence
in my kitchen, honestly.
Copy !req
1042. Jimmy, I'm not
blaming you entirely.
Copy !req
1043. I'm looking at the tools
you've got to work with,
Copy !req
1044. and it's a disaster.
Copy !req
1045. Behind that line, there's noway that this group of cooks
Copy !req
1046. can pull off a new menu.
Copy !req
1047. So seeing how frustratingit is being here,
Copy !req
1048. I made a call to a veryexperienced chef in my team
Copy !req
1049. to be here first thing tomorrowmorning, getting your crew
Copy !req
1050. at a respectable level.
Copy !req
1051. It's cool having his
chef to help us all out,
Copy !req
1052. and it's going to be a goodexperience for all of us.
Copy !req
1053. Tomorrow's comeback day.
Copy !req
1054. We're re-launching
with a new menu.
Copy !req
1055. Let's roll up our
sleeves and push it.
Copy !req
1056. - I mean really push it.
- Definitely.
Copy !req
1057. Can't wait.
Copy !req
1058. I'll see you first
thing in the morning.
Copy !req
1059. - Absolutely.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1060. Good night.
Copy !req
1061. And I'm glad
that kitchen's
Copy !req
1062. going to be shown what
to do and how to do it
Copy !req
1063. properly, because this is it.
Copy !req
1064. It's not only my
kitchen's last chance.
Copy !req
1065. It's my restaurant's
last chance.
Copy !req
1066. Good morning. ABBY AND RICO: Good morning.
Copy !req
1067. Wow.
Come in.
Copy !req
1068. How are we?

1070. The chef I brought in, James, has been here since 6
Copy !req
1071. o'clock this
morning, supervising,
Copy !req
1072. working his ass
off with your team,
Copy !req
1073. getting ready for this menu.
Copy !req
1074. Today your menu
will be in keeping
Copy !req
1075. with your beautiful restaurantand your great service.
Copy !req
1076. First up, the appetizers.
Copy !req
1077. Come down.
Copy !req
1078. Now these are appetizers, pleasing on the eye and fun.

Copy !req

1083. Now we can have a realparty in our mouth, Abby.
Copy !req
1084. Can't wait.
Copy !req
1085. OK.
Copy !req
1086. On to the entr es.
Copy !req
1087. The main events.

Copy !req
1093. I want you toget familiar with your new menu.
Copy !req
1094. Yes.
Copy !req
1095. Get up to speed
with those dishes.
Copy !req
1096. Have a little taste.
Copy !req
1097. This is awesome.
Copy !req
1098. That's money.
Copy !req
1099. The new menu is beyond belief.
Copy !req
1100. I'm kind of surprised thatit came out of my kitchen.
Copy !req
1101. Oh my god.
Copy !req
1102. That is so good.
Copy !req
1103. Bacon-wrapped meatloaf.
Copy !req
1104. Isn't that awesome?
Copy !req
1105. Oh my god.
Copy !req
1106. It's unbelievable.
Copy !req
1107. I had no idea that it
could get this good.
Copy !req
1108. - Oh my god.
- Wow.
Copy !req
1109. That's amazing.
Copy !req
1110. I've been for yearsdescribing this restaurant
Copy !req
1111. as creative comfort food.
Copy !req
1112. I had no clue.
Copy !req
1113. This is creative comfort food.
Copy !req
1114. I've never seen
Abby this emotional.
Copy !req
1115. Like she does have
a heart in there.
Copy !req
1116. She does have a soul.
Copy !req
1117. It's amazing.
Copy !req
1118. There is a god.
Copy !req
1119. It's relaunch
night at DownCity,
Copy !req
1120. and while Abby and Ricoget the front of the house
Copy !req
1121. ready for the most
important night
Copy !req
1122. in the restaurant's history—
Copy !req
1123. We are going to
rock this town tonight.
Copy !req
1124. Let's go.
Copy !req
1125. Let's go.
Copy !req
1126. —back in the kitchen.
Copy !req
1127. And we're going to
here table by table
Copy !req
1128. until we have.
Copy !req
1129. Chef James
is doing the same
Copy !req
1130. with the kitchen staff.
Copy !req
1131. Every dish
perfect, every time.
Copy !req
1132. Folks, how are
we doing tonight?
Copy !req
1133. Welcome.
Welcome.
Copy !req
1134. Have you had a chance tolook at all the new and fun
Copy !req
1135. exciting menu
items that we have?
Copy !req
1136. Let's go, guys.
Yeah?
Copy !req
1137. I want to hear you tonight, and I want to hear you, too.
Copy !req
1138. Yes?
Let's go.
Copy !req
1139. Only minutes intothe service, a locally renowned
Copy !req
1140. food blogger has arrived.
Copy !req
1141. Stacey Place ripped apart herlast meal at the restaurant.
Copy !req
1142. Abbey.
Copy !req
1143. You recognize her?
Yeah.
Copy !req
1144. You know
how important she is.
Copy !req
1145. But Chef
Ramsay convinced
Copy !req
1146. her to give it another try.
Copy !req
1147. She
has 10,000 followers.
Copy !req
1148. She blogs tomorrow, we're 10,000potential customers back up.
Copy !req
1149. I've tried
everything on this menu
Copy !req
1150. today, so if you
have any questions,
Copy !req
1151. you feel free to ask.
Copy !req
1152. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
1153. Definitely.
Copy !req
1154. The goat cheese truffle dipreally stood out for me.
Copy !req
1155. Well,
that sounds really good.
Copy !req
1156. Jimmy, you
and I. We're going
Copy !req
1157. to be communicating all night.
Copy !req
1158. I need the apps
for 37, 17, and 35.
Copy !req
1159. All right.
Copy !req
1160. Right now in the window Ineed that fish and chip,
Copy !req
1161. I need that slider.
Copy !req
1162. Slider's up, Chef.
Copy !req
1163. A re-invigoratedJimmy has the kitchen
Copy !req
1164. moving in the right direction.
Copy !req
1165. - Calamari.
- Sliders.
Copy !req
1166. Jimmy, keep it going.
Copy !req
1167. Yeah?
Copy !req
1168. Fris e salad on the fly.
Copy !req
1169. And the
new menu is being
Copy !req
1170. embraced by the customers.
Copy !req
1171. Wow.
Copy !req
1172. But just whenit appears as though it's
Copy !req
1173. going to be smooth sailing—
Copy !req
1174. I need a chowder,
a calamari, a slider.
Copy !req
1175. Jimmy, did you call the
calamari for table 30?
Copy !req
1176. I just did.
Copy !req
1177. —Abby and Jimmy—
Copy !req
1178. Listen to me.
Copy !req
1179. —are having a
communication breakdown.
Copy !req
1180. I need four soups and onechowder up on the line, please.
Copy !req
1181. That's incorrect.
Copy !req
1182. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
1183. Here we go again, a
repeat of last night.
Copy !req
1184. The kitchen's going down.
Copy !req
1185. We're fucked.
Copy !req
1186. Jimmy, focus on 37.
Copy !req

a night of drama—
Copy !req
1387. You're going to get
your fucking ass kicked.
Copy !req
1388. —and surprises— What happened?

1389. As Chef Ramsayreturns to the restaurants
Copy !req
1390. he tried to save.
Copy !req
1391. Did you really
hate me that much?
Copy !req
1392. Who's
living the dream?
Copy !req
1393. Did you pay the money back?
Copy !req
1394. And who turned
the restaurant back
Copy !req
1395. - into a nightmare?
