1. Tonight on Kitchen Nightmares

2. I've never seen anything like this.

3. Chef Ramsay travels to Monrovia, California

4. and within minutes he is caught in the crossfire.

5. Cook your food right and then you can serve it.

6. Shut up!

7. The fighting is constant.

8. You guys can't do your job right.

9. Get out.

10. Nobody's talking to you, get out.

11. Shut the hell up!

12. They fight about everything.

13. I'm not the one eating it.

14. Oh, so you want to give it to them cold.

15. Hey!

16. Including the food.

17. You guys are giving out garbage food, are you serious?

18. Why don't you take over?

19. And they are not bothered about doing

20. it in front of the customers.

21. Be quiet, the customers are listening to you guys.

22. Stop screaming.

23. At the helm of the madness

24. is a father who forces his children

25. to work at the restaurant against the will.

26. What's your problem?

27. Stupid.

28. And while all this family fighting is going on—

29. Some Son you are, wanting to help.

30. There is a restaurant that

31. is falling apart at the seams.

32. Damn, that's horrible.

33. There seems to be no standards at all.

34. What's he trying to do, kill me?

35. Chef Ramsay faces a true nightmare,

36. with a family so volatile, and so out of control

37. You're more than garbage.

38. Get out of my face!

39. You look like trash.

40. He may be unable to save

41. this family from themselves.

42. We kill each other here.

43. What is that?

44. Are you serving rotten food?

45. Then wake up!

46. You wake up!

47. Shut the place down.

48. Get out of here!

49. That is amazing.

50. Thank you, Chef.

51. Monrovia, California is located 30 minutes Northeast

52. of downtown Los Angeles, and right in the heart of Old Town

53. is the local eatery Sam's Mediterranean Kabob Room,

54. owned and operated by Sam Najjar and his family.

55. 1982 I start working as a busboy and dishwasher,

56. and my dream was just to open up family restaurant

57. with my wife and my kids.

58. And then my dream become true, I buy the restaurant 1997.

59. Business was good when he first opened,

60. but after a major slowdown in the last couple of years

61. the only employees that remain are Sam's wife and children.

62. Let's go Emad, let's go Emad!

63. Me and my siblings kind of really

64. kind of put our adult lives on hold just

65. to see my dad's dreams come true.

66. But you know I kind of want to start my life,

67. but I'm not able to because I have to stick here with my dad.

68. Nobody care about business, nobody care.

69. I feel like no one really wants to be here.

70. The place looks a little depressing.

71. The decor, it's really old.

72. Sitting down, really?

73. We don't really give much effort anymore.

74. My brothers just slack on a lot of things.

75. Just here, here, here, here.

76. Bad, like how bad?

77. Like bad like I spit it out, I can't eat it.

78. Half of the meat you're serving is raw.

79. The beef, the lamb, and the chicken.

80. Go outside.

81. Most of the time the restaurant is empty,

82. and we tend to have nothing to do.

83. So we start arguing with each other.

84. I put all the numbers on my checks,

85. and that's how Jamal ran the food.

86. The only reason Jamal is mad—

87. How is the chicken cold if we take it right off the grill.

88. She came and told me the chicken was cold.

89. I didn't say the chicken was cold.

90. What are they fighting about?

91. And we do argue in front of the customers sometimes.

92. Every day my kids they fighting all the time together.

93. I don't understand why. - Dude, Jamal.

94. Go outside! This is not where you belong!

95. Get out.

96. Why always you guys—

97. Everybody's standing around not doing anything.

98. The stress this restaurant puts on us,

99. you know, it's really kind of tearing down our family.

100. Business is very bad.

101. We don't make money here.

102. What the heck is that?

103. $400?

104. This is the only income.

105. My family depend on it.

106. If the restaurant close, we're going to be on the street.

107. Before Chef Ramsay can make the short drive

108. to the restaurant from his hotel he

109. is besieged by Sam's children.

110. So you're Sam's kids?

111. - Yes. - Right.

112. First name? - Emad.

113. Emad. Yes.

114. And Randah, Lena, Wesam, Jamal.

115. Let's catch up inside, I'm just on my way to see your dad.

116. When we tell Chef Ramsay what's

117. wrong with the restaurant he's going to be like wow.

118. So in a nutshell, what is wrong with the restaurant?

119. Jeez.

120. One at a time, please, so I can hear you all clearly.

121. What's wrong with the restaurant?

122. My dad.

123. Your dad.

124. Basically, a lot of arguing.

125. You don't do this for the restaurant,

126. you don't do that, or the restaurant's

127. your fault, the restaurants our fault.

128. Headbutts, headbutts, headbutts like that.

129. Everything. - Hold on a minute.

130. How many hours a week you work?

131. I'm working every day from 10 to 10.

132. So you're full time.

133. Yes.

134. Seven days a week.

135. We're all like that.

136. We're all there, inside and out, seven days a week.

137. Why would you all need to be there seven days a week?

138. Because we're the only staff.

139. Is this is true?

140. Yes it is.

141. My dad, he doesn't want to put anyone else in the restaurant

142. like, like staff-wise.

143. He says it's a family business,

144. we all have to put in work.

145. He always tells us that he did not have seven kids for us

146. to go and do what we want.

147. He always wanted us to like stay together in the restaurant.

148. We all have dreams and goals besides the restaurant.

149. Right.

150. We all have stuff to do, and we, when we want to do it,

151. it's like we can't because we're at the restaurant.

152. And now as we get older, we're forced

153. to be there because there's no other employees.

154. Right now, who really wants to be there?

155. At this point no one.

156. Wow.

157. We need help.

158. We need someone to just—

159. Right.

160. To show my dad like, he needs to change.

161. He's just scared to let go.

162. I appreciate all the information

163. I respect your honesty, and I'm going to go into Sam's now.

164. I'm going to see him.

165. He doesn't know about this, right?

166. No.

167. Let's keep it between us, OK.

168. Is there anything else I need to know before I get in there?

169. Just be prepared, the restaurant

170. just needs a lot of work.

171. I'm dying to get in there now.

172. Yeah.

173. See you back in the restaurant.

174. Right.

175. There it is.

184. And my kids.

185. How are your kids?

186. I have seven kids.

187. So it's a family run restaurant?

188. Yeah, they run the restaurant.

189. That's a lot of salaries to pay up.

190. Oh.

191. I don't pay them any salary.

192. You don't pay your children to work here?

193. I can't afford to pay them.

194. Where do they live?

195. They live with me in the house.

196. That's why I'm not charging anybody.

197. You're not charging anyone, what, to live at your house?

198. I don't charge anybody.

202. Yeah.

203. They enjoy it here.

204. Sure.

205. Yeah right.

206. Right.

207. And in your mind, what's wrong with the restaurant?

208. The restaurant is very slow.

234. Well we have the lamb shank, that's very good.

235. Mm, I love lamb shank.

249. M-E-A-T

250. Wow.

251. I don't know if he wants to look through the whole menu,

252. but there's more misspellings than that.

253. There's quite a few.

254. OK.

255. I'm gonna see as much as I can so I can get my head around it.

256. There's combination plates if you wanted

257. to get a little bit of both.

258. I'll start off with the vegetarian combo, thank you.

259. Now, your dad said the lamb shank is from New Zealand,

260. so he recommended that. Uh, gyro.

261. OK.

262. Do you know what, I want to see

272. Coming up.

273. OK, veggie combo first.

274. Need four plates.

275. What the heck you doing here?

276. You don't put meat with the vegetable.

277. Don't worry man, go outside.

278. I got it.

279. I'll take care of it.

280. Wow.

302. Thank you.

303. Emad, is the eggplant fresh, or is it frozen?

304. Canned.

305. Um, it's from the can.

306. Canned eggplant?

307. No.

308. That's gnarly, that's just dreadful.

309. You think of Mediterranean food, you

310. don't think of canned eggplant.

311. And the falafel?

312. The falafel, my dad does that.

313. He marinates that.

314. They're bland.

315. It probably has no salt in it.

316. Jeez.

317. So I'm gonna get you your next plate.

318. Dreadful.

319. I'll let them know.

320. OK, this is Ramsay's plate,

321. he wants to know if you seasoned anything,

322. because there's like no flavor to anything.

323. What is he tasting, like a towel?

324. What was he eating?

325. He just said it's bland, there was like no flavor.

326. Give him the gyros, give him the gyros.

327. Here.

328. Here you go, take that down.

329. Gyro?

330. This is the gyro plate.

331. Yeah.

332. Thank you.

333. Um, would you ask him when it was made, please?

334. When it was made?

335. OK.

336. He wants to know when it was made.

337. Tell him we get it from a company.

338. It comes frozen, and we heat it up,

339. and we put it on the rotisserie.

340. It's lamb and beef.

341. Hey.

342. That's not how it's made, is it

343. fresh that's what she's asking.

344. Is it fresh?

345. It's not fresh, it's frozen.

346. That's what I told her, it's frozen because we

347. get it from a company.

348. Yes, you tell her frozen, not fresh.

349. Fresh, that mean you make it.

350. I told her frozen.

351. You talking to the head chef and the—

352. I told her it was frozen!

353. You cannot lie lie.

354. I didn't lie, you heard me tell her it was frozen!

355. Emad, you need to stop screaming,

356. the people are listening to you.

357. My dad you know, he just gets mad

358. and he yells at me, which is stupid.

359. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

360. It doesn't help anything.

361. It's dry.

362. It's actually, it comes from a company and then it's frozen,

363. and then they eat it up on the rotisserie, so.

364. I would love to be in a position

365. to sit here and enjoy my meat, M-E-E-T,

366. but it doesn't even taste

367. No taste?

368. OK.

369. Dry.

370. You guys didn't cook the gyro right, whoever's it was.

371. Shut the up, you're stupid.

372. What have you made right today, though?

373. Just tell me. Simple question.

374. So why don't you come back here and cook?

375. I should come back there and cook.

376. Round two, sounds like a fight's starting.

377. I need the lamb shank.

378. It's coming.

379. Lamb shank?

380. Yes

381. Wow.

382. Thank you.

383. You guys can't do your job right.

384. You shut the up.

385. Hey!

386. What?

387. I don't wanna hear your bad language here in the kitchen.

388. Tell your son to shut up.

389. Yeah, you too.

390. It looks anemic, the color's dreadful,

391. and it just tastes like bland, boiled lamb.

392. You guys are giving out garbage food, are you serious?

393. Why don't you take over?

394. - I should. - Then do it!

395. - You don't want to, get out. - Do it.

396. You don't want to then get out.

397. You're stupid.

398. Do me a favor, send that back to New Zealand.

399. OK.

400. What's going on there?

401. They're arguing because he's telling him that he

402. doesn't know how to cook.

403. Nobody's forcing you here.

404. Idiot, dude.

405. Just go back to the front.

406. Horrible.

407. Horrible.

408. All he cares about is his opinion.

409. He says that the—

410. the lamb, it just tastes like it was boiled in water,

411. and he said send this back to New Zealand.

412. He try it, he said there is no flavor on it.

413. But I believe myself I make the best

414. lamb shank here in California.

415. I really don't know what to do.

416. on your head and finish it.

417. Wait, what are you doing again?

418. You Oh yeah, cooking food wrong.

419. Nobody's talking to you.

420. Stay back there.

421. Wow.

422. The customers are listening to you guys.

423. Tell him, this is not his job.

424. Thank you, goodbye.

425. You know two tables just got up and left,

426. because all of you guys' yelling and screaming.

427. Cool down!

428. While the family continued to battle loudly

429. in the kitchen

430. You guys are giving out garbage food, are you serious?

431. Why don't you take over?

432. Chef Ramsay has been forced to endure

433. disappointing dish after dish.

434. Do me a favor, send that back to New Zealand.

435. OK.

436. And there's another one on its way.

437. Here's the steak, and then

438. they're working on the scampi for you, it's coming up.

439. Thank you.

440. Medium-rare, it's not medium-well.

441. On the verge of well-done.

442. Oh god, so annoying.

443. This is the scampi.

444. How is the steak?

445. Jeez, yeah.

446. It's well-done.

447. That's as medium-rare as possible, it's solid and dry.

448. And jeez, how much butter did he put in there?

449. I like some scampi with my butter.

450. What's he trying to do, kill me?

451. No, but that's how he adds flavor, I guess.

452. That's his seasoning.

453. Scampi, rubbery, overcooked.

454. The scampi's overcooked too?

455. Yeah rubbery, I mean, hard and just, just solid.

456. Anywhere in the Med, food doesn't look like this.

457. Do you know that?

458. Yeah.

459. Bloody hell.

460. Can you get me the chefs out, please?

461. Chef Ramsay wants to see everybody outside.

462. Before I start talking about the dishes,

463. what was the fighting going on there?

464. He just likes to come back there

465. and argue about pretty much nothing.

466. Actually when we get a complaint

467. I like to tell them what's going on,

468. and they can't take criticism.

469. No, that's not it.

470. You like to make it seem like you're better at everything

471. than anybody else.

472. If I come back there and let them know, hey,

473. this is dry, or hey, the hummus is messed up—

474. We'd accept that, but the fact that you come back there,

475. oh you guys can't cook, you guys are

476. I don't say it the first time, I say it

477. After the thirteenth table that complains.

478. OK, OK.

479. That's what I have every day.

480. Can I start talking about my lunch?

481. The combo plate, eggplant out of I can.

482. Hummus, bland.

483. Falafel, bland.

484. Sam, you recommended lamb shank, but the bones

485. were disintegrating.

486. When the bones started disintegrating,

487. that's three hours overcooked.

488. I don't know what to tell you.

489. Have you given up?

490. Not yet.

491. Top Sirloin, it was miles away from medium-rare.

492. Hmm.

493. What are you hmming about, shut up.

494. No, no, I heard something earlier.

495. What's wrong?

496. He's making it seem like it's all my fault, he said mm,

497. mm like I'm doing something wrong.

498. They know they've been messing up all day,

499. before you even walked in.

500. So when you know he was here, can't you just, like, step up?

501. You should have stepped up.

502. I'm telling you guys what's going.

503. He wasn't in that position today.

504. Stop putting the blame on him, you guys were cooking.

505. He's the one criticizing us.

506. Even if he was criticizing—

507. You guys are giving me messed up food.

508. You guys cooked the food.

509. That's what happened, right?

510. That's what happened.

511. You can try it.

512. Tell me what you think.

513. I've never seen it like this.

514. Have you given up?

515. Kind of.

516. Kind of.

517. Do you care?

518. Not really.

519. It shows, you don't care.

520. Shrimp, they came swimming in a bowl of butter, overcooked.

521. Didn't you guys see it?

522. It's cause we was busy arguing.

523. I could hear it.

524. So could your diners.

525. Yeah, they just get up and leave because of that.

526. Wow.

527. I'm going to get some fresh air.

528. This is my dad's restaurant,

529. I do as much as I can to help him

530. but being forced to be here every day, you know,

531. it's kind of like making me feel like I don't want to care.

532. So you're not too happy, huh.

533. Not really.

534. And you?

535. What's your problem?

536. I just graduated high school.

537. So?

538. Who wanna run this business?

539. You blame your brother.

540. Yeah!

541. Raw food, and overcooked meat. Is it my fault?

542. No you do everything perfect, since you're mister perfect,

543. I can make better food.

544. Why don't you serve dinner tonight?

545. Yeah, I should actually.

546. Yeah, and I'll work outside.

547. Pffft.

548. That's what I thought, don't step up to the plate.

549. Your job is to put food on the grill.

550. Why don't you make it your job?

551. Show me you can do better!

552. Show me you can do better!

553. I'm in the front cleaning tables

554. and cleaning everything up.

555. The kitchen is not my problem. Go ahead.

556. That's your role. - That's what I though.

557. You cannot step up to the plate.

558. Some cook you are, right?

559. Yeah, some son you are, wanting to help.

560. Shut the hell up.

561. Nobody happy here.

562. I don't know what the heck to do.

563. I really don't know.

564. OK, OK.

565. Cook my food right, and you'll be fine.

566. No, we won't be fine.

567. After getting criticized

568. by Chef Ramsay at lunch,

569. Go do something about it.

570. Do what?

571. The family gets ready for dinner service.

572. Oh, so you want to give it to them cold.

573. And they have not taken

574. a break from the fighting.

575. Relax, hey.

576. Hey!

577. Stop, that's enough.

578. Chef Ramsay.

579. Hi.

580. Hello, you have another sister?

581. My mom. - Oh, nice to meet you.

582. - Nice to meet you. - First name is?

583. I'm Ahalem.

584. Let's catch up, shall we.

585. Let's have a little seasoned sit down.

586. Man, I have headache.

587. I have headache, really.

588. First of all, I must tell you it looks like the,

589. the kids are trapped in here.

590. Is this what you wanted?

591. No, not really.

592. I feel sorry for the kids because they missed

593. out so much for their life.

594. They need to grow, go somewhere, but at the same time

595. he needs them.

596. How do you manage

597. Bad.

598. Very bad.

599. I haven't been sleeping lately.

600. But it's not healthy for your daughters and your sons

601. to be in this environment seven days a week.

602. They can't be chained to the restaurant,

603. they need some space, right?

604. Yeah, they do.

605. I think if we don't stop it, you're gonna lose them.

606. OK.

607. Tonight, I'm gonna watch service,

608. I'm gonna see how this place operates.

609. It's a pleasure meeting you.

610. Thank you.

611. Hi, welcome to Kabob Room.

612. I need two regular salads.

613. OK we need a Greek salad, falafel plate

614. and a chicken Tallulah.

615. What are you just standing there for man, do something.

616. OK, so who does what in the grill?

617. We pretty much all split it up even.

618. So there's not one person on the grill?

619. No?

620. No, no, we kind of just switch it off.

621. You just switch it on, off?

622. Yeah.

623. The food's not hot.

624. Just leave it, just leave it.

625. Take it out.

626. We really don't care how the food is cooked.

627. I'm doing all this work from day to night, every day,

628. and I don't even get paid. Table 14.

629. This is beef and chicken.

630. For 14?

631. Falafel plate.

632. Steak, medium.

633. I asked for medium, this is like bloody.

634. He wants this medium, you guys cooked it rare.

635. Who cooked it?

636. I did.

637. It's definitely rare.

638. OK I'll make a new one.

639. Emad.

640. What?

641. It's the steak.

642. It's well done, she want it medium-rare.

643. It look done, what do you want me to do.

644. Shut up, don't tell me it look done.

645. It's burnt.

646. How many steak we throw today man?

647. Every day I have to throw like 15, 20 like that.

648. Every day.

649. Sam.

650. Huh, yeah?

651. They're rotten.

652. I see that.

653. Look at this one here.

654. Where is your walk-in?

655. It's right here, inside.

656. What's in here?

657. Like a bathtub of parsley?

658. Buckets of parsley?

659. Chopped!

660. That's a fresh, that's— we got that today.

661. Yeah, I know, but you're not using it today.

662. No.

663. When you chop fresh parsley all the flavor's gone.

664. You've gotta use it immediately.

665. What are they?

666. Those celery leaves?

667. Woah, that's a brand new case.

668. That says a statement

669. that nobody cares in here.

670. What is this?

671. Look at that.

672. This is two days ago.

673. What do you mean two days ago?

674. Two days ago, that's on Tuesday.

675. Here's

676. Sam, today's Saturday.

677. Like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

678. Five days. - Five days.

679. Lamb shank. Lamb shanks?

680. It's just like a dumping ground.

681. Look at this.

682. Salad.

683. Rotten.

684. And this one?

685. It's tahini.

686. Tahini.

687. You don't think they'd empty that now, put it

688. in a smaller container? a mess.

689. Yep.

690. It is a mess.

691. Ah, mother.

692. You gave me a full plate, he didn't eat it.

693. What's wrong with it?

694. It was still raw.

695. Give him another one.

696. He doesn't want another one.

697. Man, I'm getting heart attack here.

698. Randah, run this out.

699. What are they?

700. Chicken strips, the ones we buy, the frozen ones.

701. You can't serve that.

702. Have you got two seconds, please?

703. Sam.

704. Come here, all of you.

705. Look at that, just touch that.

706. I wouldn't serve that to my dog.

707. What did I tell you, I didn't tell you don't serve it?

708. And I don't know why we're doing them.

709. Sam.

710. You're in charge, and you're serving raw chicken.

711. I'm amazed that you're still open.

712. Why do you serve it?

713. The outside is cooked, so I figure the inside is cooked!

714. Yes you're chained to the business,

715. yes you don't want to be here, but you

716. cannot serve that and expect to get away with it.

717. Those kids drive me crazy, man.

718. All what you want, finish the order and sit down.

719. That's not what—

720. I can't even have time to sit down.

721. What are you talking about?

722. Oh, it's my kids fault, they do this.

723. Oh, it's my kid's fault because of that.

724. He don't listen.

725. He doesn't care.

726. When really it's his decision to keep us all here,

727. he brought that upon himself.

728. Nobody cares.

729. Nobody cares.

730. Here.

731. That's it, this is the last plate.

732. This is screwed all night long.

733. Thank you guys.

734. Yeah, stay seated and tell them thank you.

735. That was stupid.

736. Stay seated, look who's talking.

737. You were sitting right there on your phone.

738. You're stupid, get up.

739. That's what I thought.

740. Are you paying me?

741. Are you my boss?

742. You're stupid.

743. You're stupid.

744. So annoying, I swear.

745. He's got a damn brick at his head.

746. Oh, here comes the stars of the night.

747. It's my dad's restaurant, I don't have to do nothing.

748. I can do whatever I want whenever I want.

749. Oh.

750. Stop, stop. Enough.

751. You're stupid, you have a big mouth.

752. Yeah, keep talking.

753. Shut your mouth, shut up!

754. - idiot. - Dumb ass.

755. Yeah?

756. waitress, garbage.

757. - Look who's talking! - Yeah?

758. I'm— I'm garbage?

759. You're more than garbage!

760. I could take a dump right now that

761. looks gooder than your face!

762. Enough, eh?

763. Do nothing around here, now all of a sudden you act

764. like you own the place!

765. You can't help the damn customer right,

766. you can't take an order, you can't bring back drinks right

767. let alone help the customers.

768. Get inside, get inside, you're useless.

769. You're useless.

770. Until then, shut up.

771. We could even run the food out, and check the tables

772. better than you guys can. At the same time.

773. Cook your food right, and then you can serve it!

774. Shut up, shut up.

775. Get out of my face.

776. While Chef Ramsay continues

777. to inspect the state of the restaurant,

778. the family went out for fresh air.

779. And what they got was a major brawl between Rhonda

780. You do nothing around here, now all of a sudden you

781. act like you own the place.

782. And oldest son, Jamal.

783. You're not even here!

784. You're not here either!

785. No, never.

786. You guys are full of ..

787. You guys are full of.

788. Bubba, who's here every day?

789. Not you, what the hell?

790. What, when you're open, maybe?

791. Hey guys, guys, all of you.

792. Stupid.

793. Relax.

794. Honestly, I mean, this does not feel like a family.

795. And the way we just behaved the last five minutes is the way

796. you've just conducted service over the last two hours.

797. Disorganized, chaotic, and so fragmented.

798. I mean, people suffering are the customers.

799. Yeah.

800. Jeez.

801. Oh boy.

802. This kid's a dumb ass.

803. No, it's not good.

804. What am I supposed to do, tell me.

805. It's not fair for me to stand there and get yelled

806. at by every single one of them.

807. For what I did was wr—

808. I didn't do anything wrong.

809. That's not fair.

810. Just calm down.

811. Since his arrival—

812. You guys take a seat.

813. —Chef Ramsay has witnessed constant bickering

814. and fighting.

815. He realizes that much of it can be

816. attributed to the feeling of being trapped

817. in their father's restaurant.

818. You've never done this, but what you need to do now

819. is to be honest with your father and explain

820. that your lives and your careers are going elsewhere.

821. I want you to be open, tell him what you're feeling,

822. your frustrations, why you don't want to be here.

823. - Tell my dad? - Yes.

824. It's, like, gonna hurt him.

825. This is going to be tough,

826. but you each have to stand up to him.

827. You do not have to be here seven days a week.

828. It's stopping now.

829. You've got to stay focused on what you want to do now.

830. Here he is.

831. OK.

832. I'm freaking out right now because I know

833. my dad's going to get hurt.

834. I know he thinks that we love being here,

835. but we really don't.

836. So there's something they would

837. like to talk to you about.

838. OK, I'm ready.

839. Leina, why don't you go first.

840. Let's go darling.

841. Hey.

842. Um, so even though we're here to help,

843. we appreciate everything the restaurant has done for us,

844. I need to focus on going in a different direction,

845. becoming independent.

846. We all just need a little bit of schedule thing

847. where we're not here seven days a week every single one of us.

848. You know you're still too young, right now.

849. You're still a child for me, you're only 19 years old.

850. There is a rule here, this a familia rule.

851. Is not like what you want to do, you'll

852. have to hear first from your dad and your mom,

853. and then you can do it on your own.

854. I don't think this is gonna go as well as Chef

855. Ramsay thinks it's going to go.

856. My dad is not an open minded person, like, at all.

857. I am here to help you at the moment,

858. and I've been here full-time every single day, nonstop.

859. But as the time comes, I kind of want to go my own way,

860. and do my own thing.

861. How I'm going to let you go on your own,

862. and you're still a child?

863. Sam, what you have got to stop doing

864. is making them feel guilty, and because the restaurant's

865. is not making money, they're having

866. to wear that jacket of burden.

867. And it's not your daughter's fault that this is not working.

868. I want them to understand that every day

869. someone has to be here.

870. But it's driving them apart.

871. You have to understand, when the time comes,

872. we all have to do our own thing.

873. What can I say.

874. Wesam, let's get on.

875. Let's hear it.

876. Um, I'm here to help you.

877. But if I'm going to college, I can't be.

878. Hey, come on.

879. I promise you they're all here for you,

880. and as well as this is tough, it's really important for them.

881. And I'm here for you as well, and yes you've

882. got every pressure, every bill, every demand on your shoulders.

883. But we can't continue like this, buddy.

884. OK?

885. OK.

886. Come on.

887. Seeing my father cry, it was really hard for all of us.

888. But, had to do it.

889. I had to tell him the truth, straight up.

890. I know I've been here every day for the past four,

891. five years.

892. I don't always make it seem like I hate this place, but I do.

893. But, we're gonna change this, we're

894. gonna turn this place around.

895. I'm not going anywhere for the short term,

896. I'm going to be by your side.

897. Let's get everybody.

898. We argue, we fight, we kill each other here.

899. All because, all because, nobody cares enough to try— to try

900. and do something about it.

901. It was tough.

902. They are always gonna be your children,

903. they're always going to be here for you,

904. but they have other aspirations and other dreams.

905. And there comes a time when we all have to let go,

906. and today is the beginning of that.

907. Of course, makes sense.

908. I can't stop them.

909. Can't stop them.

910. Come on.

911. I wanna get some fresh air, and I'll see you in five minutes,

912. OK?

913. I love you guys.

914. We love you too, dad.

915. I love every one of you.

916. I want everybody to know there's something

917. here for everybody, anytime.

918. We're all here for you too.

919. We're all going to make an effort to make this better.

920. I hope so.

921. In order to make it work.

922. Stay down.

923. I love you guys.

924. I love every one of you.

925. I love you!

926. With Sam and his children

927. coming to an understanding,

928. Right, That's go.

929. Chef Ramsay can now begin

930. to work on one of the other major problems

931. of Sam's Kabob Room.

932. Fresh every time.

933. The food.

934. I'm going to make delicious shrimp and chicken

935. kebabs, done with freshness.

936. When we're cooking kebabs, why don't we

937. cook them on the skewer.

938. It's so much more juicier, yeah?

939. More flavor.

940. Because when you're squeezing the hell out the food

941. and you're pushing down, what do you

942. think that's doing to the food?

943. Getting all the juice out.

944. Taking all the juice

945. out of there, exactly that.

946. Cooking on the skewer gives us so much more control.

947. Much easier.

948. And then, watching you last night,

949. have you any idea how many times you cross over each other?

950. A lot?

951. We have one person manning the grill, not four of you.

952. Who's the best grill chef in here?

953. Me.

954. OK, you're going to be at the helm.

955. As it cooks I want you going over there, and glazing that.

956. Chef Ramsay opened my eyes to cook the right way.

957. I was very happy to watch him, because I

958. want to learn more what I know.

959. Your grill should be like a chessboard

960. where you manipulate it all the time up and down.

961. They come off, glaze them again.

962. Cooking next to Chief Ramsey in one afternoon,

963. I've learned more than I ever have.

964. How does it look?

965. Amazing.

966. It look beautiful. Very good.

967. Now, we're not at an art gallery,

968. jump in and start tasting, come on!

969. Sam, dive in.

970. This looks like Middle-eastern food.

971. Chicken tastes really good.

972. Yes.

973. That shrimp was bomb.

974. Everybody was happy and the food taste delicious.

975. Really, it's taste good.

976. Oh, by the way, I haven't

977. seen this for a long time, so I'm going

978. to grab it now while I can.

979. Quick smile, please.

980. Everybody look at me.

981. Smile!

982. Excellent, thank you.

983. Believe it or not, I'm ready right now

984. to move forward.

985. No more fighting, no more arguing.

986. While Chef Ramsay's plan to fix the food

987. is now in motion, his team gets started on a massive overhaul

988. of the restaurant.

989. First of all, good morning.

990. Good morning, chef.

991. How does it smell in here?

992. Amazing

993. Wait until you see it.

994. Come on, let us see.

995. O-M-G. OK.

996. Take off those blindfolds.

997. Wow!

998. Woah!

999. Welcome to the new Sam's.

1000. Look at this gorgeous room.

1001. Oh my god.

1002. This is the place?

1003. This is the place, unbelievable.

1004. Let me say something really important.

1005. This has been one of the biggest,

1006. and most expensive transformations

1007. we've ever made.

1008. Ever!

1009. It looks like it.

1010. Wow.

1011. We got rid of that dark, dingy hole

1012. and transformed it into a casual, modern kebab house.

1013. Beautiful!

1014. Something to be proud of.

1015. Oh my god.

1016. That's called a restaurant.

1017. Beautiful.

1018. The restaurant feels more open,

1019. a brand new carpet throughout.

1020. The salmon colored dirty walls have gone,

1021. and we've got this charcoal color set

1022. with these amazing art blocks.

1023. It brightens up the restaurant dramatically,

1024. and gives it a nice modern touch.

1025. It's beautiful.

1026. When I first stepped in this door,

1027. sitting down in the chair I noticed a huge hole,

1028. and when I looked around there was holes in every chair.

1029. They've gone.

1030. Look at those babies, brand new chairs.

1031. I see you got the chills, man.

1032. I know, me too.

1033. I see you got the chills.

1034. Sam, talk to me.

1035. I love it, man.

1036. I love it!

1037. It looks so gorgeous, they make me

1038. feel like I am in the heaven.

1039. Wesam, how do you feel?

1040. Um, I'm speechless.

1041. You're speechless?

1042. Unbelievable.

1043. Chef Ramsay, I don't know how I'm going to thank you,

1044. I appreciate that from the heart.

1045. Thank you Sam, I know you mean that.

1046. I never thought my dad would ever be open to change.

1047. I see a new man.

1048. Let me give you a hug before you go.

1049. I'm not going anywhere,

1050. we've got a lot of work to do tonight.

1051. Oh my dad, he doesn't hug anyone.

1052. He doesn't even hug my mom.

1053. I like to see that smile on your face.

1054. I love you, man, I love you.

1055. I wanna put the blindfold back on, I don't believe it's real.

1056. I don't believe it's real.

1057. Now that the much needed makeover to Sam's Kebab

1058. Room has taken place, Chef Ramsay

1059. is ready to unveil a contemporary Mediterranean

1060. menu.

1061. Visually what do you see?

1062. It's beautiful.

1063. Looks delicious.

1064. That is sure to have the town of Monrovia buzzing.

1065. Dig in, come on.

1066. We're jumping in, man. This is good.

1067. Amazing.

1068. Classically done, absolutely delicious.

1069. I love the falafel.

1070. This is the kind of food we

1071. should have been serving here.

1072. I don't think I've ever been this excited or happy

1073. to come to work.

1074. This is how you make lentil soup.

1075. We need that in the house all the time.

1076. The food is amazing.

1077. I never thought my life I'm going to have

1078. a restaurant like this today.

1079. Believe it or not, better than in Lebanon.

1080. Oh yeah, better than the whole Middle East.

1081. With the restaurant and family

1082. ready to face a new chapter

1083. Make sure it doesn't get too thick.

1084. Chef Ramsay is happy to spend the day training

1085. and working in the kitchen.

1086. What I want you to do is work with two hands,

1087. not with one. Twice as quick.

1088. You can try over there, plate, plate.

1089. See what happens when you're organized?

1090. Again, You are now in control.

1091. - Table twelve, fire. - Keep it going, yes.

1092. Here's another chicken.

1093. The customers are raving

1094. about the transformations made to the decor and food.

1095. Oh my god it's not brown anymore.

1096. But the biggest transformation might

1097. just be the family themselves.

1098. Let's go, Abdul, we got this let's go.

1099. Perfect.

1100. Perfect, perfect.

1101. One, two, three, four, table ten.

1102. They're working together, united as a team

1103. in support of their father Sam.

1104. Here's a plate.

1105. You got two behind you.

1106. Slide it up behind you, put two pieces on there.

1107. Everybody's just more calm, it's just more of a family now.

1108. This your table fifteen.

1109. Thank you, thank you.

1110. Can I have a ketchup, please?

1111. Good, teamwork.

1112. I'm very happy working in a restaurant like this.

1113. You know, before, I didn't want to be here,

1114. but now I'ma keep going strong until

1115. we can actually hire somebody to take my place for the long run.

1116. And not surprisingly, there's someone else besides the family

1117. who has a smile on his face.

1118. I am so proud of you all.

1119. Well done.

1120. You have everything you need to make this restaurant a success,

1121. and when you come together, it's harmony.

1122. Big group hug, let's put mom and dad in the middle.

1123. I never see my family happy like now,

1124. before Chef Ramsay come in here they

1125. fighting all the time together.

1126. But everything is changed right now,

1127. and I hope to stay like that for the future.

1128. To mum and dad.

1129. Open it.

1130. Oh my god.

1131. That's the moment I knew

1132. we had turned things around.

1133. Every time you think you're falling out, go to that picture

1134. and remind yourself the importance

1135. of sticking together.

1136. Yes.

1137. Thank you, bud.

1138. Look after yourself, yes?

1139. OK.

1140. I wish I see you again.

1141. You'll definitely see me again.

1142. Goodnight, guys.

1143. Thank you!

1144. Take care.

1145. Take care, guys.

1146. When I first arrived there was so much tension in the air,

1147. we were bound to have an explosion.

1148. As a matter of fact, we had a few,

1149. but once the air cleared the family finally came together,

1150. and we had a good and I mean good relaunch.

1151. I only hope now that Sam stays in complete control

1152. of his restaurant, but not his children.

1153. Wow, you say "kabob" and I say kebab.

1154. After several successful months,

1155. Table five, fire!

1156. Call Leina.

1157. You like it?

1158. Yeah.

1159. Thank you.

1160. Delicious.

1161. Sam is now able to give his children some time

1162. off, and for the first time in years

1163. Sam's Kabob Room is hiring.
