1. Tonight on'Kitchen Nightmares" Cafe
Copy !req
2. Tavolini is a hot Italian mess.
Copy !req
3. This place is pathetic.
Copy !req
4. Want anything else?
Copy !req
5. Oh, a sick bag maybe.
Copy !req
6. And to
make matters worse,
Copy !req
7. Chef Ramsay finds himself in the middle of a family war.
Copy !req
8. - He's here to help us.
- I don't want any help.
Copy !req
9. Keith and LisaRestivo may own the restaurant,
Copy !req
10. but they are certainly
not running it.
Copy !req
11. Customers aren't goingto care about your business
Copy !req
12. if you don't give
a fuck about it.
Copy !req
13. Fed up
their dying business—
Copy !req
14. I don't even want
to come here tonight.
Copy !req
15. It's a nightmare.
Copy !req
16. They are now theepitome of absentee owners.
Copy !req
17. Where's Lisa.
Copy !req
18. Where's Keith?
Copy !req
19. How much more can I do?
Copy !req
20. Without
any leadership,
Copy !req
21. this restaurant iscompletely dysfunctional.
Copy !req
22. It's a joke.
Copy !req
23. And it's
placing a heavy burden
Copy !req
24. on Lisa's son and daughter.
Copy !req
25. I'm being honest
that you're never
Copy !req
26. fucking at your restaurant.
Copy !req
27. Who closed your
restaurant every night?
Copy !req
28. With Cafe
Tavolini serving
Copy !req
29. as the family battleground.
Copy !req
30. I don't under how
I'm fucking lying.
Copy !req
31. I can't take it.
Copy !req
32. Shut up.
Copy !req
33. There's more
than just the business
Copy !req
34. that's on the line.
Copy !req
35. I just want to hand
him divorce papers.
Copy !req
36. Can Chef Ramsay pullthis dysfunctional restaurant
Copy !req
37. together?
Copy !req
38. I can't help owners thatcan't help themselves.
Copy !req
39. Or is this
eatery beyond saving?
Copy !req
40. Close that door.
Copy !req
41. It's confusion
in Connecticut.
Copy !req
42. You're out of business.
Copy !req
43. Tonight, on
"Kitchen Nightmares."
Copy !req
44. Bridgeport, Connecticut—an industrial city
Copy !req
45. on the Connecticut coast, onlyan hour north of Manhattan.
Copy !req
46. Nestled in a quaint
neighborhood called
Copy !req
47. Black Rock is Cafe Tavolini.
Copy !req
48. Owners Keith and
Lisa Restivo bought
Copy !req
49. a successful Italian
restaurant on a whim,
Copy !req
50. having never worked in
the business before.
Copy !req
51. Lisa and I were driving
past this building,
Copy !req
52. and there a For Rent sign on it.
Copy !req
53. We didn't know the
restaurant business.
Copy !req
54. I'm a hairdresser by trade, and Keith owned liquor stores.
Copy !req
55. We had no clue.
Copy !req
56. Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
Copy !req
57. How are you, honey?
Copy !req
58. When the place opened
up, it was mobbed.
Copy !req
59. Doing great numbers,
everybody was happy.
Copy !req
60. Is your steak
cooked all right?
Copy !req
61. We were the newest
restaurant around,
Copy !req
62. and we were definitelyriding the wave of success.
Copy !req
63. Now, you walk here
on a Saturday night,
Copy !req
64. and you think that it's likea fucking old Western movie.
Copy !req
65. Like the fucking
things are whirling by.
Copy !req
66. I don't even want
to come here tonight.
Copy !req
67. Our business started
to turn negative.
Copy !req
68. We start to turn
negative with it also.
Copy !req
69. This place is really
driving me crazy.
Copy !req
70. My mother and
Keith do not care.
Copy !req
71. The two of them hate being here.
Copy !req
72. Oh my god.
Copy !req
73. Michael, hate to bother you.
Copy !req
74. Do you have me car
keys, by any chance?
Copy !req
75. I try to oversee the fulloperation of the restaurant.
Copy !req
76. I don't really know
what Keith does here.
Copy !req
77. I really don't.- Don't tell me to clean.
Copy !req
78. He'll act like he's the boss.
Copy !req
79. He says, I'm busy.
I've got to go.
Copy !req
80. I've got to go. But what are you so busy with?
Copy !req
81. You don't do anything all day?
Copy !req
82. You sleep till
fucking 2 o'clock.
Copy !req
83. You come here.
Copy !req
84. You blow the paddy, andthen you sit home all day.
Copy !req
85. Come here.
Copy !req
86. You lay down here, too.
Copy !req
87. I wish I had
your fucking life.
Copy !req
88. Why aren't the lights onin the restaurant at 5:30
Copy !req
89. at night.
Copy !req
90. What frustrates me is thelack of management period.
Copy !req
91. You know, he'll sit
at home, and stare
Copy !req
92. at the surveillance cameras, and basically nit picks.
Copy !req
93. Why is everybody
sitting down here?
Copy !req
94. If you have this much
money into the place,
Copy !req
95. why aren't you there whenthe places isn't working?
Copy !req
96. The numbers are
just ridiculous, and I
Copy !req
97. cannot pay bills no money.
Copy !req
98. We're probably
in debt $350,000.
Copy !req
99. This is what's going
to have to happen.
Copy !req
100. I don't want to
talk about it anymore.
Copy !req
101. Our marriage is at a breakbecause we fight constantly.
Copy !req
102. Fighting, and
fighting, and fighting
Copy !req
103. is not going to get
anyone anywhere.
Copy !req
104. We need Chef Ramsay's
help because we
Copy !req
105. are at the end of our ropes.
Copy !req
106. If things don't change, I don'tknow what is going to happen.
Copy !req
107. And if they don't
take Gordon's advice,
Copy !req
108. the marriage is going to
fail, and the restaurant
Copy !req
109. is going to fail.
Copy !req
110. Cafe Tavolini.
Copy !req
111. Chef Ramsey
is aware that Cafe
Copy !req
112. Tavolini has its issues.
Copy !req
113. Taste of Italy.
Copy !req
114. But before he canstep in the door to explore,
Copy !req
115. Hi, Gordon.
Copy !req
116. There is
one family member
Copy !req
117. who can't wait to unload.
Copy !req
118. - How are you?- Nice to meet you,
Copy !req
119. Can I talk to you for aquick second before we go in?
Copy !req
120. - Now?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
121. Yeah, jump in.
Copy !req
122. Jump in.
Copy !req
123. I wanted to meet
up with Chef Ramsay
Copy !req
124. because I wanted to tell himevery little bit of dirt.
Copy !req
125. You've obviously got
Copy !req
126. something important to tell me.- Yeah.
Copy !req
127. First of all, it's a
family business, right?
Copy !req
128. Yeah, family-run.
Copy !req
129. And it's your mom
and dad who owns it.
Copy !req
130. My mother and my
stepfather, yes.
Copy !req
131. Mom and stepfather.
Copy !req
132. And are they in there?
Copy !req
133. Yes, he is in there.
Copy !req
134. I just wanted to let youknow that the only reason why
Copy !req
135. he's there today
is because he found
Copy !req
136. out that you were coming there.
Copy !req
137. So he's not hands on.
Copy !req
138. No, he'd be in bed
right now, actually,
Copy !req
139. if you weren't coming there.
Copy !req
140. You're kidding me.
Copy !req
141. He's lost.
Copy !req
142. He needs your help.
Copy !req
143. What does mom do?
Copy !req
144. She just basicallydoesn't want to be there.
Copy !req
145. He blames her for everythingfor not being successful.
Copy !req
146. It's always her fault.- Thanks for the heads up.
Copy !req
147. Let's just keep this between us.
Copy !req
148. Take care, bud.
Copy !req
149. Take it easy.
Copy !req
150. Thanks, man.
Copy !req
151. It's freezing.
Copy !req

Copy !req
180. You're here nights only.
Copy !req
181. And you're here
four days a week.
Copy !req
182. Four, zero, zero.
Copy !req
183. Lisa, Keith, you're goingto have to help me out here.
Copy !req
184. Hold on a minute.
Copy !req
185. Well, you're not
here, I'm here.
Copy !req
186. I just— we're here.
Copy !req
187. I'm just a little
bit confused.
Copy !req
188. First of all, it's
six days a week.
Copy !req
189. Now it's no days a week.
Copy !req
190. I'm just—
Copy !req
191. Stop, he's here.
Copy !req
192. Why do I gotta lie to him?
Copy !req
193. You're not lying,
but he's here.
Copy !req
194. But I'm telling you the truth.
Copy !req
195. You just said I'm notlying, so you need to know.
Copy !req
196. I didn't say that,
but you're not here to—
Copy !req
197. He's here to help. He needs to know the truth.
Copy !req
198. I know that.
Copy !req
199. What don't you understand?
Copy !req
200. But he is here—
Copy !req
201. OK, OK.
Copy !req
202. The more I get up to
speed from all of you,
Copy !req
203. the quicker I can
look at the scenario.
Copy !req
204. I just want the truth andnothing but the truth.
Copy !req
205. That just helps me tenfold.
Copy !req
206. OK, right, where should I sit.
Copy !req
207. - Right here, sir.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
208. Yeah.
Copy !req
209. Thank you.
Copy !req
210. Let's eat, yeah?
Copy !req
211. OK.
Copy !req
212. I haven't even sat down
and the bullshit starts.
Copy !req
213. Why, what happened?
Copy !req
214. Huge menu.
Copy !req
215. Ready?
Copy !req
216. Yes, and let's start withgrandma's pan-fried meatballs
Copy !req
217. served over a house salad.
Copy !req
218. OK.
Copy !req
219. And then a salmon,
hand roasted slowly,
Copy !req
220. - OK.
- And the clams.
Copy !req
221. Oh, the stuffed clams.
Copy !req
222. No problem.
Copy !req
223. - Thank you.
- Hi.
Copy !req
224. - How are you.
- Good to see you.
Copy !req
225. - Rick.
- Rick.
Copy !req
226. Nice to meet you.
What do you do?
Copy !req
227. You're the—
- Bartender, server.
Copy !req
228. Bartender, server.
Copy !req
229. Um, what's wrong
with the restaurant?
Copy !req
230. Uh, lack of management.
Copy !req
231. Lack of management.
Copy !req
232. Owner is not here very much.
Copy !req
233. Keith, what are
you going to do?
Copy !req
234. I have to pick some liquor up.
Copy !req
235. Can I have a quick wordwith Keith, yeah, please?
Copy !req
236. - Yeah.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
237. Where's Keith?
Copy !req
238. He left.
Copy !req
239. Go get him.
Copy !req
240. Hurry up.
Copy !req
241. What a surprise.
Copy !req
242. Oh, he left.
Copy !req
243. Keith is not here
on a regular basis.
Copy !req
244. Gordon wanted to talk to Keith.
Copy !req
245. Where is he?
Copy !req
246. He left.
Copy !req
247. I could go two or threedays without seeing Keith.
Copy !req
248. He doesn't have the
concept of priorities
Copy !req
249. of what needs to be done tomake this restaurant work.
Copy !req
250. Why don't you go over there, go over on his behalf
Copy !req
251. and say he had to get someproducts for the restaurant.
Copy !req
252. He should've did that earlier.
Copy !req
253. Excuse me, Gordon.
Copy !req
254. Keith left.
Copy !req
255. He had to go run to the storeto pick up our liquor order.
Copy !req
256. He didn't know that
you wanted to see him.
Copy !req
257. He's gone.
Is he fed up with it?
Copy !req
258. He's fed up with everything.
Copy !req
259. When he comes in, and
he sees one thing wrong,
Copy !req
260. he gets all twisted.
Copy !req
261. And then he jumps in
the car, and he leaves.
Copy !req
262. Thank you, Lisa.
Copy !req
263. Hmm.
Copy !req
264. A meatball, a stuffed clams—
Copy !req
265. those are fucking nothing.
Copy !req
266. As fast as you can, Michael.
Copy !req
267. Well, I was a server
at Cafe Tavolini.
Copy !req
268. I recently moved
into the kitchen.
Copy !req
269. Make sure you get
cheese on there, please.
Copy !req
270. Which was lagging quite a bit.
Copy !req
271. Oh, Jesus.
Copy !req
272. - Meatball salad.
- Meatball salad.
Copy !req
273. - Fresh ground pepper?
- Uh, no.
Copy !req
274. I'm fine.
Thank you.
Copy !req
275. Grandma's meatballs.
Copy !req
276. Look at that.
Copy !req
277. Wow.
Copy !req
278. Right now, that's an
insult to grandmothers.
Copy !req
279. That's a mess.
Copy !req
280. Gross.
Copy !req
281. How is it?
Copy !req
282. It's a big, soggy, dirtypool of juice and crap
Copy !req
283. underneath there—
Copy !req
284. dreadful.
Copy !req
285. Thank you.
Copy !req
286. Jesus.
Copy !req
287. What'd he say
about the meatballs?
Copy !req
288. He said that it was dreadful, that it was swimming in sauce.
Copy !req
289. Ugh, that was eery.
Copy !req
290. - What's happening?
- Oh...
Copy !req
291. Did he like the meatballs?
Copy !req
292. He said that that meatball—was fucking horrible.
Copy !req
293. No it wasn't.
Copy !req
294. Crumbled.
Copy !req
295. Want to put them in the
oven or microwave them?
Copy !req
296. Stuffed clams, theycome out of the microwave?
Copy !req
297. What's that?
Copy !req
298. Stuffed clams.
Copy !req
299. Ah stuffed clams.
Copy !req
300. Thank you.
Copy !req
301. Look at the size of it.
Copy !req
302. It looks like some
dog shat in my shell.
Copy !req
303. Where's the clam?
Copy !req
304. Oh no.
Copy !req
305. What is this?
Copy !req
306. Stuffed clams.
Copy !req
307. But where's the clam.
Copy !req
308. It's got to be
mixed in there, no?
Copy !req
309. There's mush, but
where are the clams?
Copy !req
310. I don't see it either.
Copy !req
311. All right.
Copy !req
312. Taste that, please?
Copy !req
313. I was, like, a littlescared to eat off his plate,
Copy !req
314. because I thought he wasgoing to stab me with the fork
Copy !req
315. if I told him it was good.
Copy !req
316. I just taste breadcrumbs.
Copy !req
317. Has that been microwaved?
Copy !req
318. It tastes like stuffing
that you'd stick
Copy !req
319. in the ass-end of a turkey.
Copy !req
320. I'll take it out of your way.
Copy !req
321. Oh my God.
Copy !req
322. He said that there's
no clams in this.
Copy !req
323. He said that this tastes likea stuffing out of a turkey.
Copy !req
324. Those stuffed clams
are garbage anyway.
Copy !req
325. Keith, he hates our food.
Copy !req
326. He said that the stuffingin the stuffed clams
Copy !req
327. tastes like it should
be from, like, the ass
Copy !req
328. of a turkey or something.
Copy !req
329. Don't you dare blame me
for anything like that.
Copy !req
330. OK?- Can I have that salmon?
Copy !req
331. It's coming right now.
Copy !req
332. Taste of Italy.
Copy !req
333. No.
Copy !req
334. Certainly not in the kitchens.
Copy !req
335. Maybe a taste of
the Italian sewers.
Copy !req
336. OK, here we go.
Copy !req
337. I always getting nervous whenthe chefs start decorating
Copy !req
338. the plates with parsley.
Copy !req
339. Oops.
Copy !req
340. Undercooked salmon that'sstone cold in the middle.
Copy !req
341. Yeesh.
Copy !req
342. Mush.
Copy !req
343. Man, so we'll do this.
Copy !req
344. Taste the rice for me?
Copy !req
345. So you've got insipid gloop.
Copy !req
346. When was that made?
Copy !req
347. I think they made
that yesterday.
Copy !req
348. Oh fuck.
Copy !req
349. - Yesterday?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
350. How much was that?
Copy !req
351. $21.
Copy !req
352. $21.
Copy !req
353. So that's a taste ofltalian leftovers for $21.
Copy !req
354. Oh, Jesus.
Copy !req
355. You want anything else?
Copy !req
356. Uh, a sick bag, maybe.
Copy !req
357. Thank you.
Copy !req
358. Holy fuck.
Copy !req
359. Why?
Copy !req
360. Why?
Copy !req
361. We're about to get
reamed right now.
Copy !req
362. He said he hates everysingle thing on the menu.
Copy !req
363. He hates everything that he ate.
Copy !req
364. He said everything istotally, totally disgusting.
Copy !req
365. Stop it.
Copy !req
366. Stop it.
Copy !req
367. Stop it right now.
Copy !req
368. You're here at 4:30.
Copy !req
369. You don't know what I do.
Copy !req
370. Watch yourself, bro.
Copy !req
371. You're basically
just making yourself
Copy !req
372. look like a bigger jackasswhen you lie about things.
Copy !req
373. So why don't you
just come clean.
Copy !req
374. He's obviously here to help you.
Copy !req
375. So let Gordon help you.
Copy !req
376. You have no clue what I do, except when I get here.
Copy !req
377. You're right.
Copy !req
378. You're right.
Copy !req
379. Before you found out
he was coming here,
Copy !req
380. who closed your
restaurant every night?
Copy !req
381. Van, stop.
Copy !req
382. Don't say— shush!
Copy !req
383. Stop what?
Copy !req
384. What's going on back there?
Copy !req
385. - He's here to help us.
- Jesus.
Copy !req
386. Did somebody call the police?
Copy !req
387. What, why am I lying?
Copy !req
388. I don't understand
how I'm lying.
Copy !req
389. I'm being honest
that you're never
Copy !req
390. fucking at your restaurant.
Copy !req
391. Your son, not mine.
Copy !req
392. Shit.
Copy !req
393. Keith, I'm leaving.
Copy !req
394. Yes, I am.
I am leaving right now.
Copy !req
395. Shut up!
Copy !req
396. During ChefRamsay's dismal first meal
Copy !req
397. at Cafe Tavolini—
Copy !req
398. It looks like some
dog shat in my shell.
Copy !req
399. The tension betweenowner Keith and stepson Van—
Copy !req
400. Before you found out
he was coming here,
Copy !req
401. who closed your
restaurant every night?
Copy !req
402. Stop it!
Copy !req
403. Has erupted
into a battle.
Copy !req
404. Keith, I'm leaving.
Copy !req
405. And wife
and mother Lisa
Copy !req
406. is caught in the crossfire.
Copy !req
407. I'm leaving right now.
Copy !req
408. Shut up!
Copy !req
409. What's going on back there?
Copy !req
410. I'm going to walkout, and I'm going to leave.
Copy !req
411. No, you're not leaving.
Copy !req
412. Don't say another word.
Copy !req
413. Then you don't say
another word, then.
Copy !req
414. What's going on?
Copy !req
415. He gets mad because I'mtrying to tell him the truth,
Copy !req
416. and he's making me try to looklike an idiot in front of you.
Copy !req
417. You OK?
Copy !req
418. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
419. What's going on?
Copy !req
420. Oh no, just a
little confrontation.
Copy !req
421. Why are you lying?
Copy !req
422. He's here to help us.
Copy !req
423. He's not here
because the owners
Copy !req
424. run everything perfectly.
Copy !req
425. And this is why he's here.
Copy !req
426. And this is what
needs to change and—
Copy !req
427. I can't take it.
Copy !req
428. Hey, don't get upset.
Copy !req
429. What's the matter?
Copy !req
430. I just, it's just, it's just, the same stuff that goes on.
Copy !req
431. This business has
affected my marriage,
Copy !req
432. totally has affected my family.
Copy !req
433. I'm totally like, beside myself.
Copy !req
434. You OK?
Copy !req
435. I'm sorry about that.
Copy !req
436. Oh, don't apologize to me!
Copy !req
437. That's your lady.
Copy !req
438. And I thought, up until now, thefood was the biggest problem.
Copy !req
439. Let me tell you, the menuwas a fucking disgrace.
Copy !req
440. Hideous.
Copy !req
441. Well, I definitely
apologize for that.
Copy !req
442. OK, I need a break.
Copy !req
443. I'll be back later.
Copy !req
444. Fuck.
Copy !req
445. I'm surprised he's
even going to stay
Copy !req
446. here and even deal with us.
Copy !req
447. He just thinks
we're all crazy.
Copy !req
448. With arestaurant and the marriage
Copy !req
449. clearly on the line—
Copy !req
450. Lisa, let's have
a quick catch up.
Copy !req
451. Just me and you?
Copy !req
452. Yeah, just you and I.
Copy !req
453. Chef Ramsay knowshe needs to dive in quickly
Copy !req
454. and gather as much informationabout the financials of Cafe
Copy !req
455. Tavolini.
Copy !req
456. Help me to get up to speedwith where we are in business.
Copy !req
457. The money is not coming in.
Copy !req
458. I mean, the numbers
are disgusting.
Copy !req
459. We had a night a couple weeksago, it was $40 in the till.
Copy !req
460. $40.
Copy !req
461. Wow.
Copy !req
462. Our house was foreclosed on.
Copy !req
463. Because of the business?
Copy !req
464. Yeah, so we've just beendeclining and just failing.
Copy !req
465. We can't even take a salary.
Copy !req
466. Keith walks around—
seriously, that's why
Copy !req
467. he's so stressed out.
Copy !req
468. He doesn't even have
$1 in his pocket.
Copy !req
469. And as soon as he
gets here, he'll
Copy !req
470. see one thing that's
aggravates him,
Copy !req
471. and then that's where it starts.
Copy !req
472. And this is because
the cash has dried up?
Copy !req
473. Yeah.
Copy !req
474. How do you get
through the day?
Copy !req
475. - I mean, Christ almighty.
- I don't.
Copy !req
476. I'm so depressed.
Copy !req
477. Some days, I just want
to hand him divorce
Copy !req
478. papers because I can't take it.
Copy !req
479. If the restaurant
closes, I can't
Copy !req
480. see our marriage continuing.
Copy !req
481. You know, it just
makes it so difficult.
Copy !req
482. I mean, I hope you can helpus, but is it to overwhelming?
Copy !req
483. Let me have a look.
Copy !req
484. I need to see everything
in action tonight, OK?
Copy !req
485. After a day
filled with arguments—
Copy !req
486. Shut up!
Copy !req
487. Tears
and accusations—
Copy !req
488. You're never fucking
at your restaurant.
Copy !req
489. Chef Ramsey is backto observe a dinner service.
Copy !req
490. Well, the kitchen is small.
Copy !req
491. It's a box.
Copy !req
492. You cook 70-odd items
on the menu from this?
Copy !req
493. Yeah.
Copy !req
494. Do you ever get
stuck in the corner?
Copy !req
495. No I'm serious?
Copy !req
496. No, I know.
Copy !req
497. It's ridiculous.
Copy !req
498. - Hello.
- Hi, how are you?
Copy !req
499. News of Chef Ramsay'sappearance in Connecticut
Copy !req
500. results in a full restaurant.
Copy !req
501. Right this way, OK guys?
Copy !req
502. And while
customers look
Copy !req
503. to satisfy their appetite—
Copy !req
504. - Lobster ravioli.
- Sure.
Copy !req
505. Veal caprese.
Copy !req
506. They aren't the only ones.
Copy !req
507. Can you order me a dinner?
Copy !req
508. Yeah, I can't
do that right now.
Copy !req
509. I need a minute.
Copy !req
510. OK.
Copy !req
511. When you get a minute,
can you order me a—
Copy !req
512. No, don't talk
to me right now.
Copy !req
513. That's not the way it works.
Copy !req
514. I'm putting my orders in, makingsure the customer is happy.
Copy !req
515. - Now she wants to eat?
- I can't—
Copy !req
516. - I can't eat now.
- Who?
Copy !req
517. Lisa wants me to
order her dinner.
Copy !req
518. Lisa just doesn't get it.
Copy !req
519. While owner Lisa has towait to place her order—
Copy !req
520. I am starving.
Copy !req
521. Customers at the
dining room are
Copy !req
522. quickly receiving their food.
Copy !req
523. Maybe a
little too quickly.
Copy !req
524. And Chef Ramsay
wants to know why.
Copy !req
525. Did you just—
Copy !req
526. did you just pull that
out of the fridge?
Copy !req
527. - Yeah, Chef.
- What is that?
Copy !req
528. It's chicken.
Copy !req
529. And why are you
cooking it in advance?
Copy !req
530. Because of space.
Copy !req
531. Because of space, time.
Copy !req
532. Just touch that.
Copy !req
533. It's fucked.
Copy !req
534. How many portions have yougot in there, cooked ahead—
Copy !req
535. show me the tray, PJ, please?
Copy !req
536. That's dryer than
the Nevada desert.
Copy !req
537. These look like they
were cooked yesterday.
Copy !req
538. I mean, they are fucking solid.
Copy !req
539. I mean, I wouldn't hangthat on a Christmas tree.
Copy !req
540. That chicken.
Copy !req
541. It's already cooked.
Copy !req
542. It's going to cooked again.
Copy !req
543. Who the fuck would
want to eat this?
Copy !req
544. And he's absolutely right.
Copy !req
545. Lisa, Keith.
Copy !req
546. So I'm trying to get up
to speed with the chefs.
Copy !req
547. Just feel that there.
Copy !req
548. Solid.
Copy !req
549. That's for the chicken parm.
Copy !req
550. They don't make it to order.
Copy !req
551. Why not?
Copy !req
552. We've always done it that way.
Copy !req
553. We really didn't
know it's a problem.
Copy !req
554. That's just— that's insane.
Copy !req
555. This sucks.
Copy !req
556. Despite a fast start—
Copy !req
557. How's your meal?
Copy !req
558. We haven't had any yet.
Copy !req
559. We're waiting, and
it's very long.
Copy !req
560. The disorganizedkitchen is now delivering food
Copy !req
561. at a snail's pace.
Copy !req
562. I'm waiting on
a cheese ravioli.
Copy !req
563. It's getting hot,
just give it a second.
Copy !req
564. Come on dude.
Copy !req
565. Be right there, bro.
Copy !req
566. I'm waiting on 13 and 11.
Copy !req
567. I've never seen such
a dysfunctional kitchen
Copy !req
568. in all my fucking life.
Copy !req
569. Chris squashed
down in the corner.
Copy !req
570. The chicken, reheated.
Copy !req
571. All these plates have
got chips on them.
Copy !req
572. What's all those
tickets on the floor?
Copy !req
573. I mean, it's just madness.
Copy !req
574. Absolutely madness.
Where is Lisa?
Copy !req
575. Where is Keith?
Copy !req
576. Is he like fucking serious?
Copy !req
577. People haven't gotten theirmeals in over 45 minutes.
Copy !req
578. The kitchen is
just a whole mess.
Copy !req
579. And my mother and Keithwere nowhere to be found.
Copy !req
580. Is Mommy and Keith somewhere?
Copy !req
581. They sit in the
car for no reason.
Copy !req
582. Keith and my mother aresitting out in the driveway
Copy !req
583. on a crazy, crazy night.
Copy !req
584. I'm starving.
Copy !req
585. We can't handle this.
Copy !req
586. We need help.
Copy !req
587. Well, you know what,
maybe they should
Copy !req
588. come and worry about
the problems that
Copy !req
589. are really happening right now.
Copy !req
590. Yeah, like how—
Copy !req
591. That the kitchen
is a disaster.
Copy !req
592. Chicken parm, pick it up.
Copy !req
593. Did my mother order this?
Copy !req
594. Or she's going to sit
in the car and eat it?
Copy !req
595. Is this normal
when we get busy?
Copy !req
596. I'm embarrassed now.
Copy !req
597. Why was this ordered
under your name?
Copy !req
598. Oh, it's mine.
Copy !req
599. You're going to
eat it out here?
Copy !req
600. What am I going to
eat it with, my fingers?
Copy !req
601. Here's that's what
they— that's what
Copy !req
602. you want to eat it out here.
Copy !req
603. Give me some forks.
Copy !req
604. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
605. Stuffed porkchopprimavera white with penne.
Copy !req
606. While the two
owners dine in the car—
Copy !req
607. Where's my bus girl?
Copy !req
608. I got a farfalle.
Copy !req
609. Here's your chicken and sausage.
Copy !req
610. I have 21 and 22.
Copy !req
611. Michael does hisbest to rally the staff
Copy !req
612. and complete dinner service.
Copy !req
613. Spaghetti and meatball.
Copy !req
614. Let's get the heck
out of here, boys.
Copy !req
615. OK.
Copy !req
616. I'm going to get
straight to the point.
Copy !req
617. You two, you've been
abusing your restaurant.
Copy !req
618. Van gets angry.
Copy !req
619. Michael gets frustrated.
Copy !req
620. Ricky gets upset.
Copy !req
621. The owners, I didn't
see you get upset.
Copy !req
622. I saw you walk outside
with your coat on.
Copy !req
623. And you sat in the car.
Copy !req
624. It's a joke.
Copy !req
625. Keith, help me.
Copy !req
626. My passion is a
little, you know, down.
Copy !req
627. If you got behind this bar, and you got on the floor,
Copy !req
628. and you did something to show you care, people see that.
Copy !req
629. Customers aren't goingto care about your business
Copy !req
630. if you don't give
a fuck about it.
Copy !req
631. And the two of you said iton a million occasions—
Copy !req
632. walk in the place, I don't evengive a fuck about this place
Copy !req
633. anymore.
Copy !req
634. I hope this fucking burns.
Copy !req
635. Well you know what?
Copy !req
636. That's what it's doing.
Copy !req
637. Burning.
Copy !req
638. Right to the fucking ground.
Copy !req
639. While Lisa's
daughter Joli eloquently
Copy !req
640. sums up a miserable evening—
Copy !req
641. Customers aren't goingto care about your business
Copy !req
642. if you don't give
a fuck about it.
Copy !req
643. And a frustratingperformance by her parents—
Copy !req
644. Why was this ordered
under your name?
Copy !req
645. Oh, it's mine.
Copy !req
646. You're going to
eat it out here?
Copy !req
647. Chef Ramsay realizeshe has to do something drastic.
Copy !req
648. So the following day—
Copy !req
649. Oh my god.
Copy !req
650. Look at the restaurant.
Copy !req
651. He gives Keith andLisa a dose of shock therapy.
Copy !req
652. What the, what is that?
Copy !req
653. Closed.
Copy !req
654. Out of business, closed, plastered against
Copy !req
655. the whole side of the building.
Copy !req
656. And I just can't believe it.
Copy !req
657. What does this mean?
Copy !req
658. We can't even get in.
Copy !req
659. What's going on?
Copy !req
660. Well I wish I could saygood morning, because it's
Copy !req
661. not a good morning.
Copy !req
662. Don't bother crossing the line.
Copy !req
663. You're shut down.
Copy !req
664. You're out of business.
Copy !req
665. Keith?
Copy !req
666. It's fucked up.
Copy !req
667. I mean, it's just
not what I wanted.
Copy !req
668. It's too much money
invested in this place.
Copy !req
669. This is not good.
Copy !req
670. I wrote you a
letter last night.
Copy !req
671. Can you read it.
Copy !req
672. Dear Gordon, I want you toknow that you have touched home
Copy !req
673. with your perception
of Keith and I.
Copy !req
674. We are guilty of negligence andirresponsibility on our part.
Copy !req
675. Keith and I have let
our staff and customers
Copy !req
676. down due to the lack
of our participation
Copy !req
677. at the restaurant.
Copy !req
678. Keith and I were
oblivious to so much
Copy !req
679. before you spoke to us tonight.
Copy !req
680. We were in denial—
Copy !req
681. we're in denial of
all of our faults.
Copy !req
682. Our plea to you is not
give up hope on us.
Copy !req
683. Keith and I are willing to makedrastic changes in our lives
Copy !req
684. to save our restaurant.
Copy !req
685. Unfortunately, we need theguidance to be able to turn
Copy !req
686. this place around for the best.
Copy !req
687. You have our fullcommitment from Keith and I
Copy !req
688. that we will work as hard aswe can to make the changes.
Copy !req
689. I want to thank you from
the bottom of my heart
Copy !req
690. for coming Cafe Tavolini
and opening up our eyes.
Copy !req
691. This is exactly
what I needed to hear.
Copy !req
692. I'm not giving up.
Copy !req
693. This is a wake-up call.
Copy !req
694. You're not closed
today, but this
Copy !req
695. will be the result if we don'tstart now— and I mean now.
Copy !req
696. Today we start the comeback.
Copy !req
697. And I need both of
you to be committed.
Copy !req
698. OK.
Copy !req
699. I hear you.
Copy !req
700. I hear you loud and clear.
Copy !req
701. Let's get inside.
Copy !req
702. Owners
Keith and Lisa have
Copy !req
703. convinced Chef Ramsay
that they are now
Copy !req
704. committed to the restaurant.
Copy !req
705. But Chef Ramsay is not theonly one that needs convincing.
Copy !req
706. Keith and Lisa,
address your team.
Copy !req
707. I just wanted to apologize to the staff for our negligence,
Copy !req
708. giving up on
something which I know
Copy !req
709. is everybody's livelihood here.
Copy !req
710. I love you guys for being here.
Copy !req
711. You've been with
us since day one.
Copy !req
712. And if you really
didn't care about us,
Copy !req
713. you would never be here.
Copy !req
714. And I really appreciate it.
Copy !req
715. And do want to get
it to a better point.
Copy !req
716. If it wasn't for you guys,I don't what I would do.
Copy !req
717. You guys really
are a great staff,
Copy !req
718. and you really have stuck by us.
Copy !req
719. And it's our fault
because we just,
Copy !req
720. just gave up because we justcouldn't handle the pressure.
Copy !req
721. I realized that I need
to be more hands on.
Copy !req
722. It's going to be a personal goalof mine, you know, work at it.
Copy !req
723. I think Keith and
my mom are definitely
Copy !req
724. sincere about what's going on.
Copy !req
725. I think it's definitely
an eye-opener for them.
Copy !req
726. Everything here in the lastfive years has been negative.
Copy !req
727. So it was definitely
a breath of fresh air.
Copy !req
728. For tonight's
dinner service,
Copy !req
729. Chef Ramsay institutes
some major changes.
Copy !req
730. We have to stand out
from the competition.
Copy !req
731. So we need to do somethingthat no one else is doing.
Copy !req
732. A family stylemenu that features a Tuscan
Copy !req
733. bean soup, porchetta
with roasted vegetables,
Copy !req
734. and olive oil cake.
Copy !req
735. A menu family style has to showconvenience for the kitchen,
Copy !req
736. and the customers
will help themselves.
Copy !req
737. Service becomes a
lot more efficient,
Copy !req
738. and the kitchen gets
out of the weeds.
Copy !req
739. It is a very small kitchen.
Copy !req
740. Family style dining should helpthat kitchen run more smoothly.
Copy !req
741. And for
the first time—
Copy !req
742. The two owners are handson and working tonight.
Copy !req
743. Owners Keith
and Lisa will have
Copy !req
744. active roles in the restaurant.
Copy !req
745. Lisa, you are going toroll your sleeves up tonight.
Copy !req
746. You're serving.
Copy !req
747. There you go.
Copy !req
748. But I haven't been
a server before.
Copy !req
749. You're going to
be a server tonight.
Copy !req
750. Keith, I want you
physically on the floor.
Copy !req
751. What are you good at doing.
Copy !req
752. I can make up a cocktail, and I can promote it.
Copy !req
753. Good, I like that.
Copy !req
754. I've never served before.
Copy !req
755. It's a little bit scary.
Copy !req
756. I didn't see that coming at all.- OK, let's go.
Copy !req
757. We're open in 8 minutes.
Copy !req
758. Yeah, let's go.
Copy !req
759. Coming up.
Copy !req
760. Table 21, please.
Copy !req
761. It's a dinner
service from hell.
Copy !req
762. Where's our food?
Copy !req
763. Get a fucking grip.
Copy !req
764. Keith and Lisa maybe finally doing some work—
Copy !req
765. Would you like another beer?
Copy !req
766. But that doesn'tmean this restaurant
Copy !req
767. - is truly united.
- 5's meal.
Copy !req
768. Can Tavolini
rebound and recover?
Copy !req
769. Keith.
Copy !req
770. Get behind the line
and get them together.
Copy !req
771. Or is it
simply a lost cause?
Copy !req
772. Close that door.
Copy !req
773. That's comingup on Kitchen Nightmares.
Copy !req
774. There's definitely a new energyin the restaurant tonight.
Copy !req
775. When I order it
in the computer,
Copy !req
776. am I hitting 2, and
that means a party of 2.
Copy !req
777. Go over there now.
Copy !req
778. I'll show you real quick.
Copy !req
779. And both
owners are optimistic.
Copy !req
780. What are you going to do?
Copy !req
781. Pomegranate Bellini's.
Copy !req
782. Sounds amazing.
Copy !req
783. And so is Chef Ramsay.
Copy !req
784. A Pomegranate Bellini.
Copy !req
785. I don't know what's
in store for tonight,
Copy !req
786. but I know that I'm definitelygoing to hit up the fucking
Copy !req
787. church down the road
and pray before I
Copy !req
788. go on the floor tonight.
Copy !req
789. We're offering a
family style tonight.
Copy !req
790. So you guys make a decision.
Copy !req
791. And I'll be back in a few.
Copy !req
792. Pomegranate Bellini will be our special dinner drink.
Copy !req
793. We should get
a round of those.
Copy !req
794. Keith has wanted
an active role.
Copy !req
795. I just don't think
he actually knew
Copy !req
796. that he was able to do that.
Copy !req
797. Is this your creation?
This is delicious.
Copy !req
798. Oh good, thank you.
Copy !req
799. Eight in the a flash.
Copy !req
800. - Eight what?
- Eight Bellini's.
Copy !req
801. OK, good.
Copy !req
802. Lisa, service.
Copy !req
803. Yeah, that looks good.
Copy !req
804. Would you like another beer?
Copy !req
805. Yes, please.
OK.
Copy !req
806. I'm so proud of you.
Copy !req
807. You're doing such
a nice job, Lisa.
Copy !req
808. Being a server, it
actually felt good.
Copy !req
809. Would you like
some fresh pepper?
Copy !req
810. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
811. To hear firsthand
comments about the food,
Copy !req
812. it was exciting.
Copy !req
813. It was so nice to
see you being involved.
Copy !req
814. You see, it brings you closer, not just to the customers,
Copy !req
815. but to your team.
Copy !req
816. With the ownersand staff hard at work—
Copy !req
817. Van, table 12?
Copy !req
818. Here we go.
Copy !req
819. The service
is off to a good start.
Copy !req
820. I love this.
Copy !req
821. And the diners lovethe family style specials.
Copy !req
822. These are awesome.
Copy !req
823. But the customers whoordered from the regular menu—
Copy !req
824. Are
having a completely
Copy !req
825. different experience.
Copy !req
826. Where's our food?
Copy !req
827. Did you go family style, or did you go off the menu?
Copy !req
828. Should we have
gone family style?
Copy !req
829. Family style, it seems tobe coming out a little faster.
Copy !req
830. Everybody OK, your
tables are good?
Copy !req
831. No, they are not, all right?
Copy !req
832. Michael, I'm waiting on 32.
Copy !req
833. Can I get a table 21 please?
Copy !req
834. They've been waiting
for an hour and a half.
Copy !req
835. I'm waiting and waiting.
Copy !req
836. Right now, I'm waiting
on a flight out of here.
Copy !req
837. Let's complete a fucking tableand get our shit together.
Copy !req
838. Look at all those tickets.
Copy !req
839. God almighty.
Copy !req
840. This is crazy.
Copy !req
841. Come here.
Copy !req
842. Come here.
Come here.
Copy !req
843. You guys have to seriouslythe get a fucking grip.
Copy !req
844. And Lisa, Keith, you can't runa restaurant with a 70-item menu
Copy !req
845. from this kitchen.
Copy !req
846. If I was the
owner, I would want
Copy !req
847. to look after every
single person that
Copy !req
848. hasn't gotten their
meals, say, hey,
Copy !req
849. can I get you guys a dessert.
Copy !req
850. Can I get you guys a drink.I'm sorry.
Copy !req
851. My mother was justwalking around aimlessly,
Copy !req
852. and Keith wasn't doing anything.
Copy !req
853. They just really showed noownership skills tonight.
Copy !req
854. Look at Keith
slopping like that.
Copy !req
855. Look, look, look, look.
Copy !req
856. I mean, yeah, honestly—what's the matter with him.
Copy !req
857. Fucking hell.
Copy !req
858. Sorry guys.
Copy !req
859. I know it's hectic, but I'm just going to be right back in.
Copy !req
860. It's a nightmare.
Copy !req
861. I didn't know what to do.
Copy !req
862. I was just too embarrassedto even go up to any tables
Copy !req
863. to apologize.
Copy !req
864. I just kind of zoned outand couldn't do anything.
Copy !req
865. Where's Keith?
Copy !req
866. If he's not out at the liquoror for a hot dog, where is he?
Copy !req
867. While Keith andLisa fail to tackle tonight's
Copy !req
868. problems—
Copy !req
869. Ricky needs a meatball
platter for four.
Copy !req
870. I need it now.
Copy !req
871. A leader has
emerged in the kitchen.
Copy !req
872. You got it.
Copy !req
873. Michael
steps up and does
Copy !req
874. his best to push orders out.
Copy !req
875. Spaghetti meatballs,
Chris, thank you.
Copy !req
876. Spaghetti meatballs, take it.
Copy !req
877. After that, what's next?
Copy !req
878. I need a stuffed pork chop,a chicken parm Mediterrani
Copy !req
879. on a meatball platter.
Copy !req
880. So porceta, meatballs,
broccoli rabe.
Copy !req
881. And as a result, theremaining a la carte orders
Copy !req
882. start hitting the tables.
Copy !req
883. This is your final table here.
Copy !req
884. Fettuccine Mediterrani.
Copy !req
885. Thanks for coming.
Copy !req
886. Come back and see us.
Copy !req
887. OK, first let me
start with the positive.
Copy !req
888. The family style menu
came out quicker,
Copy !req
889. and it satisfied the customers.
Copy !req
890. Considering the
size of the kitchen,
Copy !req
891. it's clearly thedirection this restaurant
Copy !req
892. needs to start moving towards.
Copy !req
893. But we have a long way to go.
Copy !req
894. Lisa, Keith.
Copy !req
895. Joli, describe Keith's
performance tonight.
Copy !req
896. I thought in the beginning, Keith had a lot of good energy.
Copy !req
897. I do have to say, when
shit hits the fan,
Copy !req
898. you kind of disappeared.
Copy !req
899. Keith, please?
Copy !req
900. That stuff, that
should not happen.
Copy !req
901. Oh god, Keith, you've
got to understand.
Copy !req
902. It's your business.
Copy !req
903. Never ever feel agitated, nervous, about working
Copy !req
904. inside your business.
Copy !req
905. There's going to be
a big change tomorrow.
Copy !req
906. We're going to relaunch
this restaurant.
Copy !req
907. But Lisa and Keith,
relaunch yourselves.
Copy !req
908. And if you're not
going to do that,
Copy !req
909. then fucking close that door.
Copy !req
910. It may have beena rough dinner service.
Copy !req
911. Look at all those tickets.
Copy !req
912. God almighty.
Copy !req
913. This is crazy.
Copy !req
914. But the newcommitment of Lisa and Keith—
Copy !req
915. You're doing such
a nice job, Lisa.
Copy !req
916. Was just enoughto convince Chef Ramsey
Copy !req
917. to go ahead with his
plan of giving Tavolini
Copy !req
918. a much-needed makeover.
Copy !req
919. Good morning.
Copy !req
920. Morning, chef.
Copy !req
921. How is everybody feeling?
Copy !req
922. - Nervous.
- Look at this.
Copy !req
923. My hand is shaking.
Copy !req
924. OK, today we relaunch
your restaurant.
Copy !req
925. On the count of 3.
Copy !req
926. 1—
Copy !req
927. Are you crying, Li?
Copy !req
928. I'm already crying.
Copy !req
929. 2—
Copy !req
930. And 3!
Copy !req
931. Wow!
Copy !req
932. Woohoo.
Copy !req
933. It's amazing.
Copy !req
934. It's really gorgeous.
Copy !req
935. Oh my god.
Copy !req
936. Welcome to new Tavolini.
Copy !req
937. Oh my lord.
Copy !req
938. Modern,
elegant, beautiful.
Copy !req
939. It really is emotional.
Copy !req
940. Gordon has brought someenergy back to a place that
Copy !req
941. was really, really lacking.
Copy !req
942. We've warmed up
the dining rooms
Copy !req
943. with a nice fresh champagne.
Copy !req
944. Wonderful color.
Copy !req
945. It's really gorgeous.
Copy !req
946. A textured art wall—
Copy !req
947. stunning.
Copy !req
948. Look at your the tables.
Copy !req
949. New plates without
any chips in there.
Copy !req
950. - These are beautiful.
- Beautiful.
Copy !req
951. Huh?
Copy !req
952. Oh?
Copy !req
953. Come on, Van.
Copy !req
954. What do you think?
Copy !req
955. It's a new restaurant.
Copy !req
956. It's gorgeous.
Copy !req
957. Just the complete
makeover is a home run.
Copy !req
958. - Oh my god.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
959. - Isn't that lovely?
- Yes.
Copy !req
960. OK, there's more.
Copy !req
961. I want you to come throughto the kitchen, now.
Copy !req
962. Come in.
Copy !req
963. Right.
Copy !req
964. Look at the space.
Copy !req
965. Oh my god.
Copy !req
966. This kitchen looks huge.
Copy !req
967. Wow.
Copy !req
968. Come in, there's more
space down here as well.
Copy !req
969. Come in, come in, come in.
Copy !req
970. A proper ktichen that's
been de-cluttered.
Copy !req
971. Oh my god.
Copy !req
972. I didn't thinkwe
could do this in here.
Copy !req
973. Michael, how does this feel?
Copy !req
974. It feels amazing, chef.
Yeah.
Copy !req
975. Yeah it really does.
Copy !req
976. I'm looking forward
to working in there.
Copy !req
977. It's going to be a
breath of fresh air.
Copy !req
978. OK, come inside.
Copy !req
979. One more thing.
Copy !req
980. There you go.
Copy !req
981. Oh my god.
Copy !req
982. Tavolini— family style dining.
Copy !req
983. A complete new identity.
Copy !req
984. Very, very happy.
Copy !req
985. It was so refreshing, andso new, and so different.
Copy !req
986. You're so excited that you justreally want to just get to work
Copy !req
987. and show it off to everybody.
Copy !req
988. That's your family up there.
Copy !req
989. Family style dining, yes?
Copy !req
990. That's exactly right.
Copy !req
991. Come in.

Copy !req
1011. Hi, welcome.
Copy !req
1012. Your server will explain
the new menus to you.
Copy !req
1013. And ChefRamsay's new menu in place.
Copy !req
1014. It's an individual portion,
or a family portion.
Copy !req
1015. So you can get a couple
of different things.
Copy !req
1016. - Oh, yeah.
- Its really cool.
Copy !req
1017. It's time
for Keith and Lisa
Copy !req
1018. to show that they are
capable of leading
Copy !req
1019. and managing their restaurant.
Copy !req
1020. - Hi folks.
- Hi.
Copy !req
1021. Welcome to Tavolini.
How are you?
Copy !req
1022. Good, how are you?
Copy !req
1023. I'm going to be
bopping around tonight
Copy !req
1024. making sure everything's fine.
Copy !req
1025. Thank you for coming in.
Copy !req
1026. Tonight, I need togive my all to try to make
Copy !req
1027. this restaurant a success.
Copy !req
1028. But I'm just nervous as shit.
Copy !req
1029. Branzino is the roasted—
Copy !req
1030. Um.
Copy !req
1031. I don't know what that is.
Copy !req
1032. Look at that.
Copy !req
1033. What are you doing?
Copy !req
1034. - Branzino.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1035. - Uh oh.
- The Branzino is what?
Copy !req
1036. - It's pork?
- Fish.
Copy !req
1037. that's the fish.
Copy !req
1038. Yeah.
Copy !req
1039. Well, actually this it'ssimilar to— it's a fish dish,
Copy !req
1040. tail on, head off, and it's
a little similar to a—
Copy !req
1041. - It's a whitefish?
- It's a whitefish?
Copy !req
1042. - OK
- Yes.
Copy !req
1043. Very good.
Copy !req
1044. Yes.
Copy !req
1045. Michael.
Copy !req
1046. We've got a Tuscan soupcauliflower mushroom polenta.
Copy !req
1047. Excellent.
Copy !req
1048. These first eight, nine
tables are crucial, yes?
Copy !req
1049. - Yes.
- Talk together, yes?
Copy !req
1050. It's a halfhour into dinner service.
Copy !req
1051. Table six in the window.
Copy !req
1052. And the kitchenled by Michael is humming.
Copy !req
1053. For this table
right now, I just
Copy !req
1054. need a crostini and a calamari.
Copy !req
1055. Nice, nice, nice, lovely.
Copy !req
1056. And it appears asthough everyone is loving
Copy !req
1057. the new Tavolini experience.
Copy !req
1058. It's really, really exciting.
Copy !req
1059. I'm glad you're excited.
Copy !req
1060. My heart has not stopped.
Copy !req
1061. OK, good.
Copy !req
1062. Let's keep it that way.
Copy !req
1063. Half an hour into service, keep it going, yes?
Copy !req
1064. Everything's going
really, really well.
Copy !req
1065. It reminded me of five yearsago when we first opened,
Copy !req
1066. and we had this vibe.
Copy !req
1067. And I always wanted tobe here when it was busy.
Copy !req
1068. Keith, what's the
overall consensus.
Copy !req
1069. Are they happy, are
they enjoying it?
Copy !req
1070. So far, so good.
Copy !req
1071. It's now
an hour into service,
Copy !req
1072. and Tavolini's new
appetizers are a hit.
Copy !req
1073. I loved it.
Copy !req
1074. But back
in the kitchen—
Copy !req
1075. I've got two Tuscan beanscoming for you as well
Copy !req
1076. with the two mussels, Danny.
Copy !req
1077. What two mussels?
Copy !req
1078. The
smooth-running machine
Copy !req
1079. has now hit a major speed bump.
Copy !req
1080. You're plating two
mussels right now.
Copy !req
1081. And a dinnerservice is about to crumble.
Copy !req
1082. Michael, was this
my calamari, right?
Copy !req
1083. Is that right?
Copy !req
1084. Is this Lisa's table, Dan?
Copy !req
1085. No this is Van's table coming.
Copy !req
1086. I don't know, see, I'm
getting a little lost.
Copy !req
1087. Dan, you've got to tell me what you're giving me.
Copy !req
1088. What table—
Copy !req
1089. No, I'm just Mike, you'vegot tickets over there too.
Copy !req
1090. Talk to me, Michael.
What's coming next?
Copy !req
1091. I'm a little fucked up withthe tickets for some reason.
Copy !req
1092. There's another
disaster in the kitchen.
Copy !req
1093. It's a big cluster
fuck here now.
Copy !req
1094. Nobody knows what's
going on anymore.
Copy !req
1095. It's so much shit,
it's not even funny.
Copy !req
1096. Mushrooms, please.
Copy !req
1097. Where's my mushroom polenta?
Copy !req
1098. Mushroom polenta
is coming right now.
Copy !req
1099. Danny, how long
for the polenta.
Copy !req
1100. For the polenta we're
using this right here.
Copy !req
1101. Yeah, I know how to fuckingcook it, but how long?
Copy !req
1102. Just hold on second.
Copy !req
1103. Come on, guys
Copy !req
1104. That's.
Copy !req
1105. The kitchen is
just a whole mess.
Copy !req
1106. - Michael.
- What?
Copy !req
1107. Michael what?
Copy !req
1108. 5's meal.
Copy !req
1109. Have they gotten anything yet?
Copy !req
1110. No.
Copy !req
1111. It's like the worst fuckingthing you could ever ask for.
Copy !req
1112. Come on, man.
Copy !req
1113. It's two hours
into dinner service,
Copy !req
1114. and the confusion
in the kitchen—
Copy !req
1115. It's so much shit,
it's not even funny.
Copy !req
1116. Is putting
a successful relaunch
Copy !req
1117. in jeopardy.
Copy !req
1118. I'm a little fucked up withthe tickets for some reason.
Copy !req
1119. Where's Keith?
Copy !req
1120. And Chef
Ramsay knows that there
Copy !req
1121. is no better time than
now for these formerly
Copy !req
1122. passive owners to step up.
Copy !req
1123. Keith.
Copy !req
1124. Yes, sir?
Copy !req
1125. You know this is not right.
Copy !req
1126. Without a doubt.
Copy !req
1127. Get it together, please.
Copy !req
1128. Absolutely.
Copy !req
1129. Yeah, come on them.
Copy !req
1130. Chef Ramsay lit
a fire under my butt.
Copy !req
1131. Keith, I need you,
now, to pull this back.
Copy !req
1132. I realized that I neededto get my hands dirty to make
Copy !req
1133. this thing a success.
Copy !req
1134. So what should we do now?
Copy !req
1135. We've got to persevere, guys.
Copy !req
1136. We've got to persevere.
Copy !req
1137. Keith, get behind theline and get them together.
Copy !req
1138. OK, what we've got to is tryto work together as a team.
Copy !req
1139. It's going to take a minute, but we have to focus here.
Copy !req
1140. - Yes sir.
- All right, baby.
Copy !req
1141. Let's do this.
Look.
Copy !req
1142. We're going with Lisa's table, and then we're going with Van.
Copy !req
1143. With Keith
and Lisa now actively
Copy !req
1144. supporting their team—
Copy !req
1145. Guys, everything is fabulous.
Copy !req
1146. The kitchensomehow manages to recover.
Copy !req
1147. Table 10 is what
I'm picking up.
Copy !req
1148. Calimari and a
roasted chicken, right?
Copy !req
1149. Here, Michael.
Copy !req
1150. Thanks, pal.
Copy !req
1151. And pushes outthe remainder of the dishes.
Copy !req
1152. This is table 15, for Lisa.
Copy !req
1153. To very
content customers.
Copy !req
1154. Wow.
Copy !req
1155. That is absolutely amazing.
Copy !req
1156. That's it.
Copy !req
1157. That's done.
Copy !req
1158. Perfect, bro.
Copy !req
1159. We're beautiful.
Copy !req
1160. Guys, I'm really,
really proud of you.
Copy !req
1161. You guys are a
really amazing team.
Copy !req
1162. Thank you, boss.
Copy !req
1163. If we can have Tavolinibe successful like tonight,
Copy !req
1164. I think everything
will work itself out,
Copy !req
1165. and our marriage will have achance to be successful too.
Copy !req
1166. Have a great night.
Copy !req
1167. Everything was wonderful.
Copy !req
1168. I appreciate that.
Copy !req
1169. It makes my night.
Copy !req
1170. Thank you.
Copy !req
1171. OK.
Copy !req
1172. Tonight, we were
teetering on disaster.
Copy !req
1173. But, it's not how you start.
Copy !req
1174. It's how you finish
your service.
Copy !req
1175. Lisa and Keith, you
did a bloody good job.
Copy !req
1176. Well done.
Copy !req
1177. You all did a good job.
Copy !req
1178. Thank you, chef.
Copy !req
1179. I think we have a lotof work still ahead of us.
Copy !req
1180. I think tonight was
just a stepping stone.
Copy !req
1181. Absolutely right.
Copy !req
1182. Lisa, Keith, you've beengiven a second chance.
Copy !req
1183. This restaurant needs you—not just the dining room,
Copy !req
1184. but the kitchen.
Copy !req
1185. Yes, absolutely.
Copy !req
1186. Keith?
Copy !req
1187. Loud and clear, chef.
Copy !req
1188. Loud and clear.
Copy !req
1189. I think that Gordon's
motivation brought
Copy !req
1190. some positive energy backto a place that was really,
Copy !req
1191. really lacking
anything positive.
Copy !req
1192. Lisa, I can't do any more.
Copy !req
1193. I come back, and thatfront door is boarded up,
Copy !req
1194. I'm going to be so upset.
Copy !req
1195. It won't be.
Copy !req
1196. Look after your family.
Copy !req
1197. Keep it going.
Copy !req
1198. Take care.
Copy !req
1199. It is a little scary
that Gordon is leaving.
Copy !req
1200. You know, we have a long
way ahead of us now.
Copy !req
1201. And we have to really
just get to work.
Copy !req
1202. Don't you stop.
Copy !req
1203. OK?
Copy !req
1204. Keep it going.
Copy !req
1205. We have such a
foundation to work from.
Copy !req
1206. But with our familyproblems, with the restaurant
Copy !req
1207. issues, all in one, it needsto start from the bottom up.
Copy !req
1208. And I think we need to
start from a clean slate
Copy !req
1209. to, you know, be successful.
Copy !req
1210. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
1211. I'm actually shocked that thishad ended on a positive note.
Copy !req
1212. And who would have thought thata family being ripped apart
Copy !req
1213. has been saved by
family-style dining.
Copy !req
1214. That's exactly whathappened here at Tavolini.
Copy !req
1215. Finally, a taste of Italy.
Copy !req
1216. Grazie.
Copy !req
1217. In the
weeks that followed.
Copy !req
1218. Yo, do you find it a little funny that they're
Copy !req
1219. outside arguing right now?
Copy !req
1220. Keith and Lisastruggled with their new roles
Copy !req
1221. as leaders.
Copy !req
1222. It's too much for me.
Copy !req
1223. And didn't
commit to the restaurant
Copy !req
1224. the way Chef Ramsey had hoped.
Copy !req
1225. I need to have a
puff of my cigar.
Copy !req
1226. In addition,
a rocky marriage
Copy !req
1227. that was moving in theright direction is now over.
Copy !req
1228. What is going on here?
Copy !req
1229. Do me a favor?
Copy !req
1230. Because I'd advise
you to just zip it up.
Copy !req
1231. Keith and
Lisa have separated.
Copy !req
1232. Jerk.
Copy !req
1233. And the futureof Tavolini is uncertain.
Copy !req
1234. The doors are now
closed, and one wonders
Copy !req
1235. if they will ever open again.
Copy !req
1236. Next time on
"Kitchen Nightmares"
Copy !req
1237. Chef Ramsay visits astruggling Jamaican restaurant.
Copy !req
1238. It's an insult to Jamaica.
Copy !req
1239. Proud owner Dr. UnaMorris runs her restaurant
Copy !req
1240. with an iron fist.
Copy !req
1241. This can not be like this.
Copy !req
1242. She
listens to no one—
Copy !req
1243. not even her son.
Copy !req
1244. Please be quiet.
Copy !req
1245. And on top
of that, her practices
Copy !req
1246. are completely bizarre.
Copy !req
1247. You're running a hospitalkitchen full of bags.
Copy !req
1248. Chef Ramsay
is in for a battle—
Copy !req
1249. Let me finish.
Copy !req
1250. Let me finish
my sentence first.
Copy !req
1251. That might
be impossible to win.
Copy !req
1252. I'm not in denial.
Copy !req
1253. That's next timeon "Kitchen Nightmares."
