1. Tonight on Kitchen Nightmares,
Copy !req
2. Gordon Ramsay is in Oakhurst,
New Jersey,
Copy !req
3. to help overwhelmed
owner Mike...
Copy !req
4. Slow the down.
Copy !req
5. Who lost his way
when his business partner
Copy !req
6. and father
died three years ago.
Copy !req
7. We didn't really
know what to do anymore.
Copy !req
8. Now alone at the helm,
Copy !req
9. Mike has allowed the restaurant
to literally fall apart.
Copy !req
10. Eww.
Copy !req
11. The kitchen is a mess.
Copy !req
12. Look at this.
Oh, you're kidding me.
Copy !req
13. The food is disgusting.
Copy !req
14. Do you enjoy
cooking like that?
Copy !req
15. What makes matters worse,
Copy !req
16. a delusional Mike...
Copy !req
17. You've got some
big issues here.
Copy !req
18. Wow.
Copy !req
19. Is unable to see the problems.
Copy !req
20. Is this good enough
for you?
Copy !req
21. Charred onions means
charred onions.
Copy !req
22. And is unwilling
to accept any help.
Copy !req
23. I was doing it since the day
you was born.
Copy !req
24. I'm the main cog in this
restaurant.
Copy !req
25. I always have been,
I always will be.
Copy !req
26. Sadly, Mike's daughters
look on helplessly,
Copy !req
27. desperate to save
their father.
Copy !req
28. He's suffering so much.
Copy !req
29. I hate to see him
like that.
Copy !req
30. Chef Ramsay is in one of
Copy !req
31. the most
difficult situations yet
Copy !req
32. as he battles Mike...
Copy !req
33. You're us
over big time,
Copy !req
34. and right now,
I've had enough.
Copy !req
35. And his demons.
Copy !req
36. Mike does drink
quite a bit.
Copy !req
37. That's tonight
on Kitchen Nightmares.
Copy !req
38. Why are you doing this
to yourself?
Copy !req
39. It's the beginning
of the end.
Copy !req
40. What is that?
Copy !req
41. Disgusting crap.
Copy !req
42. Shut!
Copy !req
43. I'm not insane!
Yes, you are!
Copy !req
44. Shut the place down!
Copy !req
45. Get out!
Copy !req
46. That is amazing.
Copy !req
47. I can't do it anymore.
Copy !req
48. I can't thank you enough.
Copy !req
49. Just 10 minutes away
from the Jersey Shore
Copy !req
50. is the small suburban town
of Oakhurst,
Copy !req
51. home to the family-run
Mike & Nellie's.
Copy !req
52. Opened in 1996,
the restaurant
Copy !req
53. was the lifelong dream
of two men:
Copy !req
54. Nellie Farber
and his son Mike.
Copy !req
55. I wanted to name it
Nellie & Mike's,
Copy !req
56. but he said,
"no, it's Mike & Nellie's.
Copy !req
57. You're the man."
Because he was that kind of guy.
Copy !req
58. Everybody loved my father.
Copy !req
59. Everybody would come in
to talk to Nellie.
Copy !req
60. He knew everybody's name,
made everybody feel special.
Copy !req
61. He was the front of the house.
Copy !req
62. My dad was the back,
Nellie was the front.
Copy !req
63. We were a very good team.
Copy !req
64. He brought in the people,
and I kept them here.
Copy !req
65. Everything was going great
until Nellie passed away.
Copy !req
66. When my grandpa Nellie died,
Copy !req
67. we didn't really
know what to do anymore.
Copy !req
68. It felt weird to be here.
Copy !req
69. Like, it's not really
Copy !req
70. Mike & Nellie's
without Nellie.
Copy !req
71. Now, it's just kind
of Mike and nothing.
Copy !req
72. All right,
let me go write a check.
Copy !req
73. When he left this earth,
Copy !req
74. I had to take over
doing everything that he did.
Copy !req
75. That's what I do, and
I've just become overwhelmed.
Copy !req
76. Slow the down.
Copy !req
77. Look up.
I know,
it's pretty bad.
Copy !req
78. Since my grandpa died,
the restaurant's been neglected.
Copy !req
79. Hi, is there anything
that I can help you with?
Copy !req
80. Oh! Eww. Okay.
Copy !req
81. The restaurant is grimy.
Copy !req
82. The carpet is a mess.
Copy !req
83. It's nasty, crusty, moldy.
Copy !req
84. It's tragic to look around.
Copy !req
85. People don't come here
for atmosphere,
Copy !req
86. they come here for food.
Copy !req
87. The food here,
I believe, is great.
Copy !req
88. How's everything
with your dinner?
Copy !req
89. Anything you wanna
share with me?
Copy !req
90. Overcooked, yeah.
It's like soggy.
Copy !req
91. Mike's food, it's really
not up to standard.
Copy !req
92. Mike, do me a favor.
Will you push 22, please?
Copy !req
93. All right, you got it.
Copy !req
94. When I first started,
Copy !req
95. Mike would never just dump
the food out into the plate.
Copy !req
96. Now, it's like
it doesn't matter.
Copy !req
97. But yet, at the same time, he
thinks that this food is great.
Copy !req
98. They don't like it.
Copy !req
99. He just says
it has no taste.
Copy !req
100. Oh, really?
Yeah.
Copy !req
101. Well, I've been
making French toast
Copy !req
102. for 35 years.
Copy !req
103. The biggest problem
at Mike & Nellie's
Copy !req
104. isn't the decor.
Copy !req
105. Honestly, the big problem
is Mike.
Copy !req
106. Rib-eye didn't go out.
Copy !req
107. All right, I got it.
I got it.
Copy !req
108. He feels that,
he comes in,
Copy !req
109. he has to take care
of everything.
Copy !req
110. Did I call for a veal capri?
Copy !req
111. I got it!
Copy !req
112. Give it to me, all right?
Copy !req
113. This is my job.
Copy !req
114. He doesn't let other people
take more responsibility.
Copy !req
115. It's just becoming
too much for him.
Copy !req
116. I gotta get my drink.
Copy !req
117. Since uncle Nelson's passing,
Copy !req
118. Mike does drink
quite a bit.
Copy !req
119. I put a beer in the freezer.
Copy !req
120. A couple of beers in there.
These are hot.
Copy !req
121. There are some nights where
he's just completely hammered.
Copy !req
122. Where's the two flounder?
Copy !req
123. I don't know where
anything is today.
Copy !req
124. It starts
to affect the food,
Copy !req
125. and he starts
to miss things on the tickets.
Copy !req
126. I don't know even know
how many fillets I got.
Copy !req
127. Don't know
what I'm doing now.
Copy !req
128. My dad is my hero.
Copy !req
129. And it's very difficult
to know
Copy !req
130. that my hero
is struggling
Copy !req
131. and, like, gasping for air,
you know?
Copy !req
132. I really wish that I was able
to ignore the fact
Copy !req
133. that this is my dad's life.
Copy !req
134. I really, really hope
that Chef Ramsay can help.
Copy !req
135. Before Chef Ramsay
arrives at Mike & Nellie's,
Copy !req
136. there's a young woman
anxious to fill him in
Copy !req
137. on the issues
of the restaurant...
Copy !req
138. Mike's oldest daughter,
Samantha.
Copy !req
139. Thanks for helping us.
Samantha, right?
Copy !req
140. Yeah. Hi.
Good to see you.
Copy !req
141. Nice to meet you.
Thanks for picking me up.
Copy !req
142. I'm excited for you
to be here.
Copy !req
143. Well, I'm excited to be here.
First time for me.
Copy !req
144. Um, how have you been?
All right.
Copy !req
145. Yeah?
Yeah.
Copy !req
146. Just, we really
need help right now.
Copy !req
147. Yeah?
Yeah?
Copy !req
148. A lot of problems
at the restaurant.
Copy !req
149. What's the one thing that you
think is wrong with it?
Copy !req
150. Ever since my grandpa died,
Copy !req
151. my dad, he hasn't
been able to move forward.
Copy !req
152. Okay.
Copy !req
153. How close were they?
Copy !req
154. They worked together
for 18 years.
Copy !req
155. And my grandpa, he was
Copy !req
156. the front of the house.
Copy !req
157. He would host, and people would
come to Mike & Nellie's
Copy !req
158. only to see him.
Copy !req
159. He was a great guy.
He was very funny.
Copy !req
160. And how's dad changed over
the last couple of years?
Copy !req
161. He's very overwhelmed
and stressed.
Copy !req
162. Really?
Copy !req
163. But he likes to do everything
by himself.
Copy !req
164. He just can't delegate?
Right.
Copy !req
165. Definitely a control freak.
Copy !req
166. He's the boss, you know.
Copy !req
167. Everywhere in his life,
he's the boss.
Copy !req
168. So it'll be very interesting
Copy !req
169. when you have stuff
to say to him.
Copy !req
170. Wow.
Copy !req
171. I hope Chef Ramsay can get
through to my dad.
Copy !req
172. He needs the help.
He needs the change.
Copy !req
173. It's crucial
for the restaurant to survive
Copy !req
174. and be successful
for my family.
Copy !req
175. I mean, that's my whole life.
Copy !req
176. Hello.
Hi.
Copy !req
177. How are you?
Welcome to Mike & Nellie's.
I'm Lexi.
Copy !req
178. Right.
Sister number two.
Copy !req
179. Sister number two.
Right?
Yes.
Copy !req
180. You are glamorous.
Thank you.
Copy !req
181. Amazing, amazing.
Um...
Copy !req
182. What's that smell?
Copy !req
183. Is it just me?
Copy !req
184. I don't smell it.
What's that smell?
Copy !req
185. Go outside. Take a big,
deep breath of fresh air.
Copy !req
186. I don't know. I smell your
cologne, which smells good.
Copy !req
187. Okay, wait.
Ready? Let's do it.
Copy !req
188. Now... What is that?
Copy !req
189. Now, it doesn't
smell to you there?
Copy !req
190. No, I just smell you.
Just there.
Copy !req
191. I just smell you.
Really?
Copy !req
192. Did somebody
die in here last night?
Copy !req
193. No.
It's possible.
Copy !req
194. Jeez, okay.
Copy !req
195. What kind of question
is that?
Copy !req
196. All right,
follow me, sir.
Copy !req
197. I haven't tasted
the food yet.
Copy !req
198. Now I'd love to meet dad.
All right.
Copy !req
199. I'll go get him.
Copy !req
200. What's that smell?
Copy !req
201. Can you smell something?
No.
Copy !req
202. No? How are you?
Copy !req
203. Good to see you.
Same here, Chef.
Copy !req
204. Come and say hello.
And you are?
Copy !req
205. Louis.
Louis.
Copy !req
206. The manager.
You're the manager?
Copy !req
207. Yes.
Yeah?
Copy !req
208. Good to see you.
Same here.
Copy !req
209. Dad?
Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
210. Chef Ramsay
would like to meet you.
Copy !req
211. Me? Why me?
Meet you.
Copy !req
212. I don't know.
Copy !req
213. Doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
214. Why would he wanna
meet you?
Copy !req
215. Follow me.
Copy !req
216. I am quite nervous
Copy !req
217. about Chef Ramsay's visit
Copy !req
218. and how my dad's self-esteem
will take it,
Copy !req
219. because he has a hard time
taking criticism.
Copy !req
220. This is my father, Mike.
Copy !req
221. Mike?
I'm Mike.
Copy !req
222. Pleasure.
Copy !req
223. But the fact is
we need the help.
Copy !req
224. And if somebody's willing
to give it to us,
Copy !req
225. we need to take it.
Copy !req
226. I really hope
that he can help dad.
Copy !req
227. How long have you
been open?
Copy !req
228. 15 years.
15 years.
Copy !req
229. When was the last time
you changed anything
Copy !req
230. in the dining room?
Copy !req
231. Uh, never.
Wow.
Copy !req
232. Everything is pretty much
as I bought it 15 years ago.
Copy !req
233. And how would you
rate your food, 1 to 10?
Copy !req
234. I would rate my food
in the upper nines.
Copy !req
235. Wow.
Great, I love that.
Copy !req
236. I can't wait
to taste it.
Copy !req
237. The food is not
the problem here.
Copy !req
238. It's either the atmosphere,
the ambiance, or the service.
Copy !req
239. Here's your regular menu and
here's your specials menu, sir.
Copy !req
240. Did someone pee-pee
on my menu?
Copy !req
241. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
242. What? Is that—is that?
Copy !req
243. I don't know.
That's not a urine stain, no?
Copy !req
244. I don't think so.
I'm pretty sure.
Copy !req
245. It's probably coffee.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Copy !req
246. If you need anything,
I'm at the front.
Copy !req
247. Oh, that smell.
Copy !req
248. Hello.
Hello, hello, hello.
Copy !req
249. How are you?
Fine. How are you?
Copy !req
250. I'm Jeanine.
I'll be your server tonight.
Copy !req
251. Hi, good to see you.
Copy !req
252. Can you smell that,
or is it just me?
Copy !req
253. You smell something, right?
Copy !req
254. Yes.
Copy !req
255. What is it?
It's like they buried,
Copy !req
256. like, bodies
underneath the carpet.
Copy !req
257. Yes, it's most definitely
the carpet.
Copy !req
258. It stinks.
Copy !req
259. The restaurant is filthy,
disgusting.
Copy !req
260. It's full of mold.
Copy !req
261. It's worse over there.
Copy !req
262. Seriously?
Copy !req
263. You're in the good part.
Copy !req
264. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
265. Um, steak and seafood,
and we have Italian food.
Copy !req
266. Jeanine, what is it?
Copy !req
267. Fine dining restaurant
or Italian—what are we?
Copy !req
268. I don't know.
Copy !req
269. Wow.
Copy !req
270. There is no identity.
Copy !req
271. Okay.
Copy !req
272. I'll start with linguini
with shrimp sauce.
Copy !req
273. Okay.
Copy !req
274. Let's go
for chicken Murphy
Copy !req
275. and then the special menu,
Copy !req
276. the steak Nellie.
Copy !req
277. The steak Nellie?
Yeah.
Copy !req
278. How would you
like that cooked?
Med-rare.
Copy !req
279. Med-rare?
Please.
Thank you very much.
Copy !req
280. You're very welcome.
Copy !req
281. I wanna see where that
nine out of ten's hitting.
Copy !req
282. Plate it right there.
Copy !req
283. Yeah, I'm moving.
Copy !req
284. Mike, I have
Chef Ramsay's order.
Copy !req
285. Here we go.
Copy !req
286. Chef Ramsay will
like the food here.
Copy !req
287. Anything that I make him,
he's gonna like—guarantee it.
Copy !req
288. Look at this place.
Copy !req
289. Disaster.
Copy !req
290. Louie.
Chef?
Copy !req
291. What happened to that lampshade
over there on the wall?
Copy !req
292. I don't know.
Copy !req
293. I'll fix it.
It's bugging me.
Copy !req
294. How are you?
Fine.
Copy !req
295. Nice to see you.
Copy !req
296. It's driving me crazy.
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
297. Oh... Oh, it comes on
when it goes up, anyway.
Copy !req
298. Ha!
Copy !req
299. That's got to be fixed.
No. No.
Copy !req
300. Sorry.
Copy !req
301. Just watch
your head there.
Copy !req
302. Okay.
Copy !req
303. That's for the chef.
Make it nice.
Copy !req
304. I made it, so it's
right on the money.
Copy !req
305. Okay, Chef.
Copy !req
306. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Copy !req
307. Linguini with shrimp sauce.
Copy !req
308. Linguini in shrimp sauce.
Copy !req
309. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
310. Wow, it's gross.
Copy !req
311. It's bland.
Copy !req
312. The sauce is bland?
Yeah.
Copy !req
313. Everything's watery and...
Copy !req
314. The shrimps
are like rubber.
Copy !req
315. Just horrible.
Copy !req
316. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
317. Nowhere near a nine.
All right.
Copy !req
318. Would you like me
to remove that from your table?
Copy !req
319. Yes, please, darling.
Copy !req
320. The sad part is this
isn't even the worst of it.
Copy !req
321. This is bland, watery.
Copy !req
322. The shrimp taste
like rubber.
Copy !req
323. I don't know
what he's talking about.
Copy !req
324. I am a perfectionist.
Copy !req
325. I will never put out food
unless it's right.
Copy !req
326. Is this the Murphy?
Yes.
Copy !req
327. Chicken Murphy.
Copy !req
328. Chicken Murphy.
Copy !req
329. Wow.
Copy !req
330. I was afraid to serve him
the chicken Murphy.
Copy !req
331. Doesn't look very nice,
does it?
Um...
Copy !req
332. It's embarrassing.
It looks like a stew gone bad.
Copy !req
333. That looks horrible.
Copy !req
334. Okay.
Copy !req
335. Where is the manager?
Copy !req
336. Louis...
Copy !req
337. Is that the normal style
of presentation
Copy !req
338. of chicken Murphy?
Copy !req
339. Sam, Lexi.
Copy !req
340. Girls, visually impact,
Copy !req
341. does that look
appetizing to you?
Copy !req
342. Could definitely
use an appearance update.
Copy !req
343. A little mush.
Mush?
Copy !req
344. A little bit.
Copy !req
345. Yep.
Copy !req
346. After Nellie died, the food's
been kind of going downhill.
Copy !req
347. It's kind of at the point
where it's necessary
Copy !req
348. for someone
to say something.
Copy !req
349. That's gross.
Copy !req
350. It's overcooked.
Copy !req
351. Just wet, soggy,
and just tasteless.
Copy !req
352. I call it a hot mess.
Copy !req
353. I call it a hot joke.
Copy !req
354. Okay.
I'm done.
Thanks, darling.
Copy !req
355. Yes, you're
very welcome.
Thank you.
Copy !req
356. You're welcome, sir.
Copy !req
357. I can't afford to be
up all night with the.
Copy !req
358. Ooh.
Copy !req
359. Excuse me.
Copy !req
360. Thank God you didn't
have the chicken Murphy.
Copy !req
361. Bloody hell.
Oof.
Copy !req
362. Mike...
Copy !req
363. It's just a hot mess, so...
Copy !req
364. That—that
son of a bitch.
Copy !req
365. Chef Ramsay is a ball buster.
Copy !req
366. But if you
have an impossible math problem,
Copy !req
367. if Einstein was still alive,
you'd talk to him.
Copy !req
368. So we have a restaurant problem,
we talk to the master.
Copy !req
369. You can tell that Chef Ramsay
being so critical of the food
Copy !req
370. kind of hurt my dad
a little bit.
Copy !req
371. But my dad needs help.
Copy !req
372. And if this is what it takes
then, this is what it takes.
Copy !req
373. What's next?
Copy !req
374. For the finale,
it's gonna be the steak Nellie.
Copy !req
375. All right.
Best of luck.
Copy !req
376. I don't need to give him
any more things to hate.
Copy !req
377. I grew up cooking steaks,
and I'm a master of the grill.
Copy !req
378. I'm telling you,
I'm good at this, man.
Copy !req
379. I'm very good at this.
Copy !req
380. Wow.
Copy !req
381. This is the steak Nellie.
Steak Nellie.
Copy !req
382. Is that a steak or charcoal?
Copy !req
383. No, Chef.
That's a piece of the steak.
Copy !req
384. Wow.
Copy !req
385. Wow, that just tastes
of burnt charcoal.
Copy !req
386. Feel like I've got
a barbecue in my mouth.
Copy !req
387. Have a taste of that.
Copy !req
388. How does that
taste for you?
Copy !req
389. Would you give that a nine?
Copy !req
390. No.
No.
Copy !req
391. Like you said, it is...
Copy !req
392. Charcoal.
Copy !req
393. Charcoal. Okay.
That's charcoal.
Copy !req
394. Mike?
Copy !req
395. What'd he say?
Copy !req
396. This tastes
like it's charcoal.
Copy !req
397. He didn't like that?
No.
Copy !req
398. I tried it.
Copy !req
399. Is something
wrong with it?
Copy !req
400. Like he said, there's
a little bit of a charcoal.
Copy !req
401. There ain't no way in hell
I overcooked that steak.
Copy !req
402. That's something that I make
that everybody loves
Copy !req
403. and I never
have a complaint.
Copy !req
404. Aren't you gonna
go out there?
Copy !req
405. For what?
I don't know.
Copy !req
406. Shouldn't you
go out there?
Copy !req
407. You are the owner,
Copy !req
408. so you're supposed
to check on things.
Copy !req
409. I hope my dad will be willing
to listen to Chef Ramsay
Copy !req
410. and take the criticism
Copy !req
411. and acknowledge
that everything isn't perfect.
Copy !req
412. Sit down.
Copy !req
413. Instead of just being mad.
Copy !req
414. Uh, Mike, I'm, you know,
I'm embarrassed.
Copy !req
415. We've got some
big issues here.
Copy !req
416. I thought the food was dated.
Copy !req
417. I don't know how you
control the menu that size.
Copy !req
418. And then some of the things
were inedible.
Copy !req
419. Your food is watery,
bland, and soggy.
Copy !req
420. I know how to cook.
Copy !req
421. Come on.
Copy !req
422. The whole thing just looked
an absolute mess.
Copy !req
423. I mean, that last steak...
Right.
Copy !req
424. I mean, how'd you put—
just throw that together?
Copy !req
425. Well, the steak itself is
a prime steak, so, I mean...
Copy !req
426. Mine was overcooked,
so I have no prime.
Copy !req
427. You rated the food
nine out of ten.
Copy !req
428. I wouldn't pass it
above two.
Copy !req
429. I mean, that's not good enough
to come back for.
Copy !req
430. Nowhere near it.
Copy !req
431. I mean, I'm just
gonna tell you, man to man,
Copy !req
432. it's not the food.
Copy !req
433. Either you're in denial
Copy !req
434. or you don't care.
Copy !req
435. Chef Ramsay said
my food was outdated and,
Copy !req
436. you know, I respect him,
Copy !req
437. but I believe he's wrong
in this situation.
Copy !req
438. I know what my customers like,
and I know what I like.
Copy !req
439. That's the way I like it.
Copy !req
440. Coming up...
Copy !req
441. Wow, look at this food.
Copy !req
442. Just when Chef Ramsay thought
it couldn't get any worse...
Copy !req
443. You are kidding me.
Copy !req
444. It does.
Copy !req
445. This char on here's
charcoal.
Copy !req
446. I taste nothing wrong
with that.
Copy !req
447. Mike is in denial
about everything.
Copy !req
448. Not good at all.
Copy !req
449. And later...
Copy !req
450. Oh, you're kidding me.
Copy !req
451. A series of disgusting
discoveries...
Copy !req
452. I was not expecting
to see this.
Copy !req
453. Makes Chef Ramsay wonder
Copy !req
454. if Mike & Nellie's...
Copy !req
455. Is this good enough
for you?
Copy !req
456. Is too far gone to be saved.
Copy !req
457. What am I supposed
to do now?
Copy !req
458. After a lunch that left
a lot to be desired,
Copy !req
459. Chef Ramsay is back
at Mike & Nellie's for dinner.
Copy !req
460. Hi, there.
Can I help you?
Copy !req
461. And he isn't alone.
Copy !req
462. Hello.
Copy !req
463. Word of his arrival
has spread,
Copy !req
464. and the restaurant is booked
solid for the evening.
Copy !req
465. Pre-rush beer.
Copy !req
466. What would you like
tonight?
Copy !req
467. I'm gonna have
the strip steak.
Copy !req
468. I'll have the
chicken scarpariello.
Okay.
Copy !req
469. Portabella mushroom
with jumbo prawn.
Copy !req
470. Sun-dried artichoke,
Alfredo, shrimp parm.
Copy !req
471. Just tell me quickly
how it works, line-wise.
Copy !req
472. Here's what happens, Chef.
Copy !req
473. I do all the cooking, and then
he'll put the food out.
Copy !req
474. I don't trust my staff
Copy !req
475. to get the job done
like I can do it.
Copy !req
476. As long as I'm making it,
I know it's 100%.
Copy !req
477. Okay, I got snapper,
prawn and pepper.
Copy !req
478. I got penne vodka,
Copy !req
479. I got chicken parm.
Copy !req
480. All right.
Copy !req
481. Despite the fact
that most of the cooking
Copy !req
482. is being done
by one person...
Copy !req
483. Shrimp parm,
eggplant parm.
Copy !req
484. Give me 14.
All right.
Copy !req
485. Mike manages
to push out food rapidly.
Copy !req
486. Shrimp parm!
Copy !req
487. Got it all, baby.
Copy !req
488. Shrimp clam,
lobster rav.
Copy !req
489. Mike, take this and go.
Copy !req
490. But his quick cooking...
Copy !req
491. Wow, look at this food.
Copy !req
492. Unfortunately
comes at a cost.
Copy !req
493. Not good.
Not good at all.
Copy !req
494. Hey, guys,
the fried calamari,
Copy !req
495. just to let you know,
is mushy.
Copy !req
496. It wasn't good.
They didn't enjoy it.
Copy !req
497. Just give you a heads-up
on that.
Copy !req
498. Very soggy.
Copy !req
499. I taste nothing wrong
with that.
Copy !req
500. Nothing at all.
Copy !req
501. It's embarrassing.
Copy !req
502. There's a man in there
that is killing himself,
Copy !req
503. and he's going down
in flames.
Copy !req
504. There's no standard set.
Copy !req
505. Everything is just
so chaotic.
Copy !req
506. Pans are being thrown,
steaks are on fire,
Copy !req
507. and he's sort of
totally oblivious
Copy !req
508. to the kind of crap
that's leaving his kitchen.
Copy !req
509. It's actually quite sad.
Copy !req
510. What's wrong with that?
Copy !req
511. They said
it's overcooked.
Copy !req
512. All right.
Copy !req
513. This eggplant rollatini,
Copy !req
514. she says it's the worst
eggplant she ever had.
Copy !req
515. It's not even rolled.
Copy !req
516. Mike, they said it was burnt.
Copy !req
517. Oh, goodness.
Copy !req
518. Ahhgh.
Copy !req
519. It's hard to bring food
back to Mike,
Copy !req
520. because Mike thinks
the food is excellent.
Copy !req
521. I know he's been cooking
for 30 years,
Copy !req
522. but the food is really
not up to par.
Copy !req
523. Are they a little
too well-done for you?
Copy !req
524. Let me take them away
Copy !req
525. and bring some fresh ones
for you, all right, sir?
Copy !req
526. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
527. Since Nellie has passed,
the kitchen is a disaster.
Copy !req
528. What's wrong now?
Copy !req
529. Too, uh, too burnt.
Copy !req
530. The food is not
what it used to be.
Copy !req
531. It's extremely frustrating.
Copy !req
532. Mike, can I get
more fried onions?
Copy !req
533. But not too burnt,
please.
Copy !req
534. Charred onions
means charred onions.
Copy !req
535. Mike, this char
on here's charcoal.
Copy !req
536. You're absolutely correct.
That's charcoal.
Copy !req
537. I need a charred onion,
right now.
Copy !req
538. On the outside,
Mike is really not
Copy !req
539. showing any kind of emotions,
Copy !req
540. but if you look
into his eyes,
Copy !req
541. you see this heartbreak,
Copy !req
542. this beating
that he's taking internally.
Copy !req
543. It's depressing.
Copy !req
544. How's everything
going back there?
Copy !req
545. Disaster.
Disaster?
Copy !req
546. Does your dad work like that
every night?
Copy !req
547. Yeah.
He's destroying himself.
Copy !req
548. I mean, he's just
absolutely maiming himself.
Copy !req
549. He doesn't delegate
as well as he should.
Copy !req
550. Like, he's reading
the ticket,
Copy !req
551. then he's getting it ready,
and then he's cooking it,
Copy !req
552. and then he's reading
another order.
Copy !req
553. And it's hard
to watch, yeah.
Copy !req
554. How are you supposed to run
an entire restaurant,
Copy !req
555. cook everybody's meal
by yourself?
Copy !req
556. Like, you can't do that.
Copy !req
557. Hot stuff coming through.
Copy !req
558. He doesn't really trust
anybody else in the kitchen
Copy !req
559. to help him,
and it's a problem.
Copy !req
560. Mike.
Yes?
Copy !req
561. I need to worry about that
refry on penne vodka.
Copy !req
562. Hold on a minute,
girlfriend.
Copy !req
563. I'm going as fast
as I can, baby.
Copy !req
564. You all right?
Copy !req
565. You want water
or something?
Copy !req
566. I want this night
to be over.
Copy !req
567. Here's a penne vodka.
Copy !req
568. Take it, go.
Copy !req
569. All the tickets are out.
Copy !req
570. There's nothing left.
All right, guys.
Copy !req
571. Beers for everybody.
Go grab 'em, man.
Copy !req
572. One for me too,
all right?
Copy !req
573. I'm lost for words.
Copy !req
574. Watching both of you
behind the line
Copy !req
575. in that kind of
commotion there
Copy !req
576. is like soldiers
Copy !req
577. on the front line.
Copy !req
578. In your minds,
Copy !req
579. you've got it now that if you
get through this battle,
Copy !req
580. tonight's a success.
Copy !req
581. You just wanna
get that food out.
Copy !req
582. Do you enjoy cooking
like that?
Copy !req
583. I don't know
if I enjoy it.
Copy !req
584. That's just,
like, what I do.
Copy !req
585. But, I mean,
I bust my ass.
Copy !req
586. I cook until
we're done cooking.
Copy !req
587. Working hard is one thing.
Copy !req
588. Working fast
and throwing food out
Copy !req
589. with no care is another.
Copy !req
590. No one's
monitoring standards,
Copy !req
591. and no one seems to care.
Copy !req
592. You are running yourself
into the ground.
Copy !req
593. Dan...
Copy !req
594. Can I have
a word with—yeah?
Copy !req
595. Yes, Chef.
Will you shut the door,
please?
Copy !req
596. Certainly.
Copy !req
597. Listen, seriously,
have you been drinking?
Copy !req
598. I'm having
a vodka cranberry juice.
Copy !req
599. I saw you
drinking some beers.
Copy !req
600. I had two beers, sir.
Two beers.
Copy !req
601. That is not the way forward.
Copy !req
602. You got to get
your head in the game,
Copy !req
603. because the kind of mistakes
Copy !req
604. that you made tonight
Copy !req
605. represents a chef
that doesn't
Copy !req
606. seem to give a.
Copy !req
607. I do give a.
I do, I—
Copy !req
608. listen, I drink
too much, you know.
Copy !req
609. But why are you
doing this to yourself?
Copy !req
610. I don't know.
Copy !req
611. I just don't know.
Copy !req
612. I'm like, I'm lost.
Copy !req
613. I'm lost in space.
Copy !req
614. Why?
Copy !req
615. I don't know.
Copy !req
616. Life's just getting tougher
for me, man.
Copy !req
617. You know? I mean,
this business is failing.
Copy !req
618. Everybody wanted—
Copy !req
619. I got two daughters
going to college,
Copy !req
620. and I'm just trying
to, like, make it,
Copy !req
621. you know, and it's not
working anymore, you know.
Copy !req
622. I don't know where
to move from here.
Copy !req
623. It's hard for me, you know.
Copy !req
624. This is my passion.
Copy !req
625. I only know how to cook.
Copy !req
626. It's all I've ever done...
Copy !req
627. You know,
since I was 19 years old.
Copy !req
628. The passion.
Copy !req
629. When did that go?
Copy !req
630. I don't know.
Copy !req
631. After dad passed away?
Copy !req
632. Yes.
Copy !req
633. You know, since
my father died,
Copy !req
634. I'm starting to give up.
Copy !req
635. I am.
I can admit it to you.
Copy !req
636. I'm like, I feel defeated.
Copy !req
637. Is that why
you're drinking more?
Copy !req
638. Yeah, probably.
Copy !req
639. You can't go down
this line, Mike.
Copy !req
640. You cannot go down this line.
Copy !req
641. It's the beginning
of the end, I'm telling you.
Copy !req
642. Well, I don't know
what to do next.
Copy !req
643. I really don't.
I'm confused.
Copy !req
644. You've got
to get out of denial.
Copy !req
645. And there's got to be
a fire in your belly
Copy !req
646. that you've got
to rekindle.
Copy !req
647. That's all.
All right.
Copy !req
648. Okay?
I'll try my best.
Copy !req
649. Okay. See you
in the morning.
Copy !req
650. All right.
Good night.
Good night.
Copy !req
651. This restaurant is definitely
taking a toll on me.
Copy !req
652. Everything falls on my lap,
and it's wearing me out.
Copy !req
653. It's a tough life.
Copy !req
654. After the death of his father,
Copy !req
655. Mike has been
in a downward spiral,
Copy !req
656. and so has his restaurant.
Copy !req
657. He has clearly lost his way,
Copy !req
658. and Chef Ramsay knows that
in order for this restaurant
Copy !req
659. to have any chance
of surviving...
Copy !req
660. How are you?
Good morning.
Copy !req
661. I'm good.
How are you?
Copy !req
662. He has to put Mike
back on course.
Copy !req
663. It's quite nice
getting out of the restaurant.
Copy !req
664. Yeah.
Yes.
Copy !req
665. It almost feels
like it's, um...
Copy !req
666. Like a ticking time bomb
in there.
Copy !req
667. And I'm concerned,
I think, really,
Copy !req
668. about dad.
Copy !req
669. And I had a chat with him
last night,
Copy !req
670. and he was,
for the first time,
Copy !req
671. being open and honest.
Copy !req
672. He admitted
he lost control,
Copy !req
673. and, sadly,
that he's on the verge of
Copy !req
674. giving up.
Copy !req
675. And we can't give up.
Copy !req
676. And then I noticed something
Copy !req
677. upsetting last night
is the amount of drink.
Copy !req
678. I feel like he's trying
to drown his sorrows.
Copy !req
679. Yeah.
Definitely.
Copy !req
680. I think he's very lost
right now.
Copy !req
681. Everything fell
on his shoulders
Copy !req
682. after—after Nellie
passed away.
Copy !req
683. And it's just so much
responsibility.
Copy !req
684. And it's a lot
to handle.
Yeah.
Copy !req
685. I don't think he got over
losing his father.
Copy !req
686. I don't think he's
got over that hurdle.
Copy !req
687. I don't think so, no.
Copy !req
688. No, I mean we were—
he was back at work,
Copy !req
689. you know,
Copy !req
690. and there was no time off.
It was—
Copy !req
691. he was just there.
Copy !req
692. I think he's hurting.
I think deep down inside.
Copy !req
693. I don't see how happy...
Copy !req
694. No, you can tell
that he's hurting.
Copy !req
695. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
696. Like always.
Copy !req
697. It's awful.
Copy !req
698. I mean, he's got
two kids in college,
Copy !req
699. and like what does
he have to show for it?
Copy !req
700. Like, he's working so much
harder than he should be.
Copy !req
701. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
702. And, like,
he's suffering so much.
Copy !req
703. And I hate to see him
like that.
Copy !req
704. Your dad is driving himself
into the ground.
Copy !req
705. Yeah.
Copy !req
706. And I don't know
how much longer,
Copy !req
707. you know,
he can continue to do it.
Copy !req
708. You know, it's about time we
actually turn around and said,
Copy !req
709. "hey, dad,
Copy !req
710. "I want you back.
Copy !req
711. "And I want you to listen.
Copy !req
712. And I want you
to slow down."
Copy !req
713. He's your dad.
Copy !req
714. You're his last hope.
Copy !req
715. And last night,
that was a cry for help.
Copy !req
716. You think
you can help him?
Copy !req
717. Yeah.
Of course I'm here to help.
Copy !req
718. But I can help unless
he's prepared to change himself.
Copy !req
719. Hello, Chef.
Copy !req
720. Morning, Mike.
How are you?
Copy !req
721. Ah, tough night
last night, right?
Copy !req
722. Yeah.
Copy !req
723. Quite.
Copy !req
724. I came to see the girls
Copy !req
725. because I think
the bottom line is, Mike,
Copy !req
726. you mean a lot
to this family.
Copy !req
727. And there's no doubt
on how hard you're working.
Copy !req
728. But you're not a machine.
Copy !req
729. You're not 25, Mike.
Copy !req
730. You know, you're 55.
Copy !req
731. And the girls
have got something to say,
Copy !req
732. and I want you to listen.
Copy !req
733. Okay.
Copy !req
734. And I'll see you
back at the restaurant.
Copy !req
735. Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Copy !req
736. Thank you, girls.
Copy !req
737. Bye.
Copy !req
738. So, uh, what do you want
to tell me?
Copy !req
739. Like, really difficult
seeing you, like,
Copy !req
740. struggling this much
and working so hard.
Copy !req
741. Right.
Copy !req
742. You have to let go
a little bit
Copy !req
743. and not work as hard
as you are.
Copy !req
744. I understand.
I understand.
Copy !req
745. I don't know
how to let go.
Copy !req
746. I don't trust
anybody else.
Copy !req
747. But I think that in order
Copy !req
748. for you to be able
to function like this,
Copy !req
749. you need to let
some other people
Copy !req
750. take on
some responsibilities.
Copy !req
751. Well, I would
love to take—
Copy !req
752. take off and let them
cook for me.
Copy !req
753. But you don't trust them
enough to do it.
Copy !req
754. You know you have
your guard up all the time.
Copy !req
755. I do.
You don't, like...
Copy !req
756. Trust anyone.
So what do we need,
a nicer Mike?
Copy !req
757. Is that
what you're saying?
Copy !req
758. No, we need
a more open Mike.
Copy !req
759. Okay.
Copy !req
760. So, I'm willing
Copy !req
761. to give a shot
at change here.
Copy !req
762. And you're gonna
open up, though,
Copy !req
763. and, like, let people
actually just talk to you?
Copy !req
764. It's not gonna be
an overnight thing,
Copy !req
765. but I'm willing to listen.
Copy !req
766. I've been wanting
to tell my dad these things
Copy !req
767. for a long time already.
Copy !req
768. And I really hope
that he was listening,
Copy !req
769. because the problem
with the restaurant
Copy !req
770. isn't that we need
a decoration change.
Copy !req
771. The fact is that
my dad needs to change.
Copy !req
772. After spending the morning
at Mike's home,
Copy !req
773. Chef Ramsay is anxious to get
Mike back in the kitchen.
Copy !req
774. Show me the fridges.
Copy !req
775. And reignite his passion
with food.
Copy !req
776. Well, here's the meat.
Copy !req
777. Steaks go right up
on the grill.
Copy !req
778. Those trays
not cleaned last night?
Copy !req
779. Yeah, I didn't clean them
last night.
Copy !req
780. I got out of here.
Copy !req
781. Oh,
Copy !req
782. What's that?
Copy !req
783. I don't know.
That's chicken parm.
Copy !req
784. But that's cooked.
Yeah, that's cooked.
Copy !req
785. This one's raw.
Copy !req
786. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
787. We don't get fridges
changed at night?
Copy !req
788. Sunday nights,
we do a deep cleaning.
Copy !req
789. So, it's Monday.
Yesterday was Sunday night.
Copy !req
790. Yes.
Copy !req
791. Are they all
kept like this?
Copy !req
792. Mike, you gotta
to cover this stuff.
Copy !req
793. Seriously?
Copy !req
794. What else you got
going on here?
Copy !req
795. Look at this.
Copy !req
796. I'm getting nervous now.
Copy !req
797. 30 years in the business.
Come on.
Copy !req
798. I'm thinking,
"holy.
Copy !req
799. "What else is he
gonna find in here
Copy !req
800. that is gonna embarrass me?"
Copy !req
801. Oh, you're kidding me.
Copy !req
802. What is that?
Copy !req
803. Who's responsible
for this?
Copy !req
804. Chef Ramsay was looking forward
Copy !req
805. to working with the chefs
on fixing the food.
Copy !req
806. Show me the fridges.
Copy !req
807. That is, until he made a series
of shocking discoveries.
Copy !req
808. Oh, you're kidding me.
Copy !req
809. What is that?
Copy !req
810. Who's responsible
for this?
Copy !req
811. Mike, come on.
Copy !req
812. Seriously?
Copy !req
813. What is in here?
Copy !req
814. Where's the walk-in?
Copy !req
815. Right over there.
Copy !req
816. Hell.
Copy !req
817. You are kidding me.
Copy !req
818. What is that?
Copy !req
819. That's the lobster bisque.
Copy !req
820. Ugh,
Copy !req
821. Eggplant.
Copy !req
822. What's that in there?
Copy !req
823. That's the calamari
from last night.
Copy !req
824. It was prepped yesterday.
Copy !req
825. Why is it bubbled?
Copy !req
826. What is in here?
Copy !req
827. You're right, Chef.
Copy !req
828. Get it out!
That's contaminated!
Copy !req
829. We can't leave fridges
like this.
Copy !req
830. I do know those things
need to be changed.
Copy !req
831. I've tried to talk to Mike,
but he won't listen to me.
Copy !req
832. My food got served
from that fridge last night?
Copy !req
833. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
834. What's in here?
Copy !req
835. What's that?
Copy !req
836. Those are meatballs.
Copy !req
837. When were they made?
Copy !req
838. They were made...
Copy !req
839. How do you know
it's a week old?
Copy !req
840. No dates.
Copy !req
841. Does that make any sense?
Copy !req
842. Come on, this is basic.
Copy !req
843. It's just become sloppier,
Copy !req
844. and I need to start
making things right.
Copy !req
845. The fridge is being ignored
at the end of the evening,
Copy !req
846. and then food's
left in the oven.
Copy !req
847. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
848. You're absolutely right.
Copy !req
849. It's a disgrace.
Copy !req
850. And discovering that,
what am I supposed to do now?
Copy !req
851. Where do we start?
Copy !req
852. Tell me!
Copy !req
853. What time
are the team in?
Copy !req
854. 2:30.
Get them in earlier.
Copy !req
855. I want the whole
place cleaned.
Copy !req
856. You're better than this.
Copy !req
857. me.
Copy !req
858. Yo, get a ride in
as quickly as possible.
Copy !req
859. Chef Ramsay
wants everybody here now.
Copy !req
860. I believe it's time to turn
this place upside down.
Copy !req
861. Some things are falling
though the cracks,
Copy !req
862. but cracks can be filled.
Copy !req
863. Everything can be fixed.
Copy !req
864. All right.
Copy !req
865. Can't do what I'm doing.
Copy !req
866. I'm gonna have to change
Copy !req
867. if I wanna
change my restaurant.
Copy !req
868. I'm ready.
Copy !req
869. This is where
we're gonna start
Copy !req
870. to fix this place.
Copy !req
871. With a thorough cleaning
by the staff
Copy !req
872. and what appears to be
a change in attitude by Mike...
Copy !req
873. First of all, the place
is looking cleaner.
Copy !req
874. Chef Ramsay
can now turn his attention
Copy !req
875. to the area that needs
the most help, the kitchen.
Copy !req
876. So I'm gonna
do two steaks,
Copy !req
877. a rib-eye on the bone
and a filet.
Copy !req
878. I've been cooking steaks
for 32 years.
Copy !req
879. I know how I do it,
which is the right way.
Copy !req
880. But maybe he can teach me
something, in a nice way,
Copy !req
881. not in a "or I'm gonna kill you"
kind of way.
Copy !req
882. Okay.
Onto the grill.
Copy !req
883. I wanna render
that fat down.
Copy !req
884. Cooking with Chef Ramsay
is a dream come true.
Copy !req
885. Get a nice sear on that,
please, Daniel.
Copy !req
886. With that, I'm gonna do
like a chive mash.
Copy !req
887. It's great to see
how his hands move,
Copy !req
888. like a ballet
with his fingers.
Copy !req
889. I was in awe.
Copy !req
890. That's a real
mashed potato.
Copy !req
891. Is there horseradish
in there?
Copy !req
892. A touch of horseradish.
Well spotted.
Copy !req
893. Look at that.
Copy !req
894. I feel super inspired
by Chef Ramsay.
Copy !req
895. I don't know how to put it
into words right now.
Copy !req
896. Asparagus and fries
for the filet.
Copy !req
897. A touch of
creme fraiche.
Copy !req
898. Perfect.
Copy !req
899. I'm used to cooking
like one certain way,
Copy !req
900. and this
is a little different.
Copy !req
901. When you spend a fortune
on ingredients,
Copy !req
902. I want the customers
to taste them.
Copy !req
903. I want it ooze the flavor
of a rib-eye.
Copy !req
904. Simply done.
Copy !req
905. Let's have
a little taste, yeah?
Copy !req
906. I'm feeling very, very well.
Copy !req
907. I can already feel
the fire burning in my gut,
Copy !req
908. which is something that has not
happened in a while.
Copy !req
909. Uh, waiting staff,
get some knife and forks.
Copy !req
910. Dig in.
Copy !req
911. Rib-eye's good.
Oh, my God.
Copy !req
912. It just melts
in your mouth.
Copy !req
913. I love the asparagus,
I'm coming over.
Copy !req
914. I'm so excited
to see my dad so happy.
Copy !req
915. It seems like he really does
want to change things
Copy !req
916. and make things better,
and I know he can really do it.
Copy !req
917. Can I order this
for dinner?
Copy !req
918. This is so good.
Copy !req
919. Coming up...
Copy !req
920. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
921. It's one of the most
emotional makeovers
Copy !req
922. in Kitchen Nightmares'
history.
Copy !req
923. It's so beautiful.
Copy !req
924. But later, will
the pressure of re-launch
Copy !req
925. be too much for Mike?
Copy !req
926. You're
us over big time.
Copy !req
927. I have no idea what you're
talking about.
Copy !req
928. Right now,
I've had enough.
Copy !req
929. Now that Mike
has finally seen the light
Copy !req
930. with how his steaks
can be improved...
Copy !req
931. I want food to go out
that we got some pride with.
Copy !req
932. Perfect.
Copy !req
933. Chef Ramsay is now focused
Copy !req
934. on the makeover
of Mike & Nellie's.
Copy !req
935. And he begins with something
that has been driving him crazy
Copy !req
936. since the day
he walked into the restaurant.
Copy !req
937. I need some help.
Okay.
Copy !req
938. I've come across the most
wretched carpet
Copy !req
939. I've ever seen,
Copy !req
940. and it is deplorable.
Copy !req
941. So I need something durable,
something strong,
Copy !req
942. something that can take
a lot of footfall.
Copy !req
943. Okay.
Copy !req
944. Uh, that's nice.
Copy !req
945. I like that one as well,
with the blue.
Copy !req
946. Can we get this
done tonight?
Copy !req
947. Is that possible?
Absolutely.
Copy !req
948. With one major change
in motion,
Copy !req
949. Chef Ramsay's team
is hard at work
Copy !req
950. trying to accomplish one of
the most difficult makeovers
Copy !req
951. they have ever faced.
Copy !req
952. Ah, good morning.
Copy !req
953. (All)
Good morning.
Copy !req
954. How we feeling?
Copy !req
955. Excited.
Nervous.
Copy !req
956. Mike, I've never seen you
look so nervous.
Copy !req
957. I'm speechless.
You're speechless?
Copy !req
958. Okay, today,
Copy !req
959. I am proud to unveil
Copy !req
960. the new Mike & Nellie's.
Copy !req
961. Are you ready?
Copy !req
962. (All)
Yes.
Let's do it.
Copy !req
963. Okay?
Copy !req
964. One...
Copy !req
965. I'm excited.
Copy !req
966. Two...
Copy !req
967. Three.
Copy !req
968. That's beautiful!
Oh, my God.
Copy !req
969. There we are!
Copy !req
970. Mike & Nellie's Steakhouse.
Copy !req
971. Wow.
Copy !req
972. Oh, my God, it's so nice.
Copy !req
973. Look at that.
Copy !req
974. Wasn't that Mike & Nellie's
steak and seafood?
Copy !req
975. Well, what
this community's lacking
Copy !req
976. is a great steakhouse, yes?
Copy !req
977. A steakhouse has been my dream
my whole life long.
Copy !req
978. Right now,
I'm so overwhelmed with emotion.
Copy !req
979. I don't even know
how I'm standing here.
Copy !req
980. Mike, one thing
Copy !req
981. that you're gonna see
Copy !req
982. when you walk
through that door
Copy !req
983. is a new identity
Copy !req
984. and a new you.
Copy !req
985. And a new me.
Let's do it.
Copy !req
986. Let's go, guys.
Whew! Ah.
Copy !req
987. Everybody ready?
Copy !req
988. Ready.
Copy !req
989. Go straight
into the restaurant.
Copy !req
990. Off you go.
Copy !req
991. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
992. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
993. It is gorgeous.
Oh, wow.
Copy !req
994. I just got
chills everywhere.
Copy !req
995. Wow!
Nice new carpet.
Copy !req
996. No way.
Copy !req
997. A whole... Transformation.
Copy !req
998. Welcome to the new
Mike & Nellie's.
Copy !req
999. This is gorgeous.
Copy !req
1000. It's so beautiful.
Copy !req
1001. This is awesome.
Copy !req
1002. We walk in, see the restaurant
for the first time.
Copy !req
1003. We see modern art,
the new chairs, the new carpet.
Copy !req
1004. I can't get a smile off
my face.
Copy !req
1005. It's outstanding.
Copy !req
1006. It's awesome.
Copy !req
1007. This is great.
Copy !req
1008. Look at this place.
Copy !req
1009. Wow.
Copy !req
1010. Gone are those hideous arches.
Copy !req
1011. We've opened the restaurant up.
Copy !req
1012. You have a very elegant
open space, and it's stylish.
Copy !req
1013. Gone is the old
worn-out decor,
Copy !req
1014. and replaced with a stunning
contemporary rustic look.
Copy !req
1015. New carpets,
and that smell has gone.
Copy !req
1016. (Man)
I'm wanna take
my shoes off.
Copy !req
1017. Right?
Copy !req
1018. Oh, my God,
this is incredible.
Copy !req
1019. Unreal.
Copy !req
1020. I'm totally amazed.
Copy !req
1021. Oh, there you are.
Copy !req
1022. Now I know
I'm talking to somebody.
Copy !req
1023. My dream my whole life
was to be steakhouse.
Copy !req
1024. It's an absolute
transformation
Copy !req
1025. that's beyond
my wildest dreams.
Copy !req
1026. Jeanine...
Copy !req
1027. How you feeling?
Copy !req
1028. I—we're gonna be
the talk of the town,
Copy !req
1029. and we're gonna—
and we're gonna do you proud.
Copy !req
1030. But you can
do yourselves proud.
Copy !req
1031. If Nellie was here right now,
he would be so happy.
Copy !req
1032. He really would.
And I can feel him here now.
Copy !req
1033. In addition to the updated look
and new identity...
Copy !req
1034. Oh!
Copy !req
1035. Come in, please.
Copy !req
1036. Chef Ramsay has created
Copy !req
1037. an elegant,
flavorful, modern menu.
Copy !req
1038. Welcome to the new
Copy !req
1039. Mike & Nellie's menu.
Copy !req
1040. This menu is our foundation.
Copy !req
1041. Our new start
to Mike & Nellie's.
Copy !req
1042. Simple, delicious,
and modern.
Copy !req
1043. Look how fancy
this looks.
It's incredible.
Copy !req
1044. Let's start off
at the top table here.
Copy !req
1045. Maryland crab cakes.
Delicious, simple.
Copy !req
1046. Served with
an old bay mayonnaise, yeah?
Copy !req
1047. Angus sliders.
Copy !req
1048. We have sliders!
Copy !req
1049. Aged white cheddar,
Copy !req
1050. shaved lettuce,
and a special sauce.
Copy !req
1051. The whole mark of this
restaurant
Copy !req
1052. is gonna be the steaks.
Copy !req
1053. I love it.
Copy !req
1054. Start off with
the filet mignon.
Copy !req
1055. Eight-ounce,
beautifully grilled,
Copy !req
1056. finished with that wonderful,
delectable butter.
Copy !req
1057. New York strip, 12 ounce—
Copy !req
1058. modern and beautiful
and stunning.
Copy !req
1059. Next to that, we've got
a delicious braised short rib.
Copy !req
1060. That's served
with a red wine sauce
Copy !req
1061. and whipped chive potatoes.
Copy !req
1062. The side dishes.
Copy !req
1063. Look at that mac and cheese.
Copy !req
1064. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1065. How can you
have a steakhouse
Copy !req
1066. with no mac and cheese?
Copy !req
1067. It's topped with some crispy
bread crumbs—delicious!
Copy !req
1068. Looks unbelievable.
Copy !req
1069. Right, guys,
you get some spoons,
Copy !req
1070. knifes and forks.
Copy !req
1071. I want you to dig in.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1072. Dig in, dig in, dig in.
Copy !req
1073. Sam, trust you to go
straight for the dessert.
Copy !req
1074. They're fantastic.
Oh, my God, the filet.
Copy !req
1075. I got to get over there.
Copy !req
1076. Oh my God.
Copy !req
1077. I thought my food was good,
Copy !req
1078. but the new menu
is just unbelievable.
Copy !req
1079. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1080. Oh, my God. Mmm.
Copy !req
1081. This is so good.
Copy !req
1082. You are the man,
Chef Ramsay.
Copy !req
1083. You came in here and you turned
us completely around.
Copy !req
1084. This is definitely the start
of something big.
Copy !req
1085. I see this restaurant
going far.
Copy !req
1086. As the doors open
on re-launch night...
Copy !req
1087. Hello, welcome to
the new Mike & Nellie's.
Copy !req
1088. Welcome.
Copy !req
1089. There's excitement in the air
Copy !req
1090. and a buzz
in the dining room.
Copy !req
1091. Decor is awesome now.
Copy !req
1092. As customers
are eager to try out
Copy !req
1093. the new
Mike & Nellie's steakhouse.
Copy !req
1094. Back in the kitchen...
Copy !req
1095. Here we go, guys, yes?
Copy !req
1096. Chef Ramsay wants
the workload divided,
Copy !req
1097. with Mike doing less
and Dan doing more.
Copy !req
1098. Daniel, I'm trying
to get him to break away.
Copy !req
1099. You are the future,
Copy !req
1100. so show it to me
and show it to him.
Copy !req
1101. Yes, Chef.
Good.
Copy !req
1102. Mike, focus on the grill.
Okay.
Copy !req
1103. I want Daniel running this
Copy !req
1104. and coordinating
the kitchen tonight.
Copy !req
1105. I hope Mike
will back off a little
Copy !req
1106. and let me come in
and help him out.
Copy !req
1107. I'm very capable
of taking over.
Copy !req
1108. The most important thing
Copy !req
1109. is that everything
goes out perfect.
Copy !req
1110. I'm hoping that Dan
can handle the rush.
Copy !req
1111. I've been trying
to find a Chef
Copy !req
1112. for the last 15 years
that can do what I do.
Copy !req
1113. This is nerve-wracking
here.
Copy !req
1114. Here we go.
First ticket.
Copy !req
1115. Order in! One strip med-well!
One strip medium!
Copy !req
1116. I wanna hear an the echo!
A call back.
Copy !req
1117. I got two strips medium-well
and medium.
Copy !req
1118. Thank you, buddy!
Copy !req
1119. So far, Chef Ramsay's
plan is working.
Copy !req
1120. Mike gets the first steaks
on the grill.
Copy !req
1121. Wipe the plate down,
please.
Copy !req
1122. Make it look pretty.
Come on!
Copy !req
1123. Dan gets the kitchen
in sync...
Copy !req
1124. Crab cakes,
up in the window!
Copy !req
1125. Beautiful.
Let's go.
Copy !req
1126. And customers are receiving
their appetizers.
Copy !req
1127. It looks really good.
It's like heaven.
Copy !req
1128. This looks spectacular.
Copy !req
1129. And the reviews are glowing.
Copy !req
1130. Next entree!
Short ribs!
Copy !req
1131. Strip med-rare.
Copy !req
1132. One rib-eye med-rare.
French fry.
Copy !req
1133. Where are those fries?
Copy !req
1134. Coming right now, baby.
Copy !req
1135. 25 seconds.
Copy !req
1136. 25 seconds, all right.
Copy !req
1137. I'm feeling great.
Copy !req
1138. Everybody is working together
as a team.
Copy !req
1139. We're gonna be firing.
Copy !req
1140. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Copy !req
1141. I have four filets up here.
Copy !req
1142. But only one hour into service,
Copy !req
1143. Mike is no longer working
in tandem with Dan.
Copy !req
1144. Order a tomato,
a Caesar, crab cake.
Copy !req
1145. That's the one I just called for
that's going out.
Copy !req
1146. And instead of allowing Dan
to organize,
Copy !req
1147. Mike is now confusing
the kitchen.
Copy !req
1148. Stop, take a step back,
and regroup. Let's go.
Copy !req
1149. Next ticket's a strip medium,
filet medium.
Copy !req
1150. All right, let's start
putting these steaks out.
Copy !req
1151. We've just stopped
listening to each other.
Copy !req
1152. I'm the main cog
in this restaurant.
Copy !req
1153. Always have been,
always will be.
Copy !req
1154. Dan, I was doing this
before you were born.
Copy !req
1155. Mike, you can't slip
into these old ways.
Copy !req
1156. You're
killing me here, man.
Copy !req
1157. I don't know
what's gonna happen.
Copy !req
1158. Mike's not listening to what
Chef Ramsay is saying.
Copy !req
1159. We've all forgotten what
the we're doing in here.
Copy !req
1160. Everything is falling apart.
Everything is going to.
Copy !req
1161. Mike, just let me do this.
Copy !req
1162. Come on, guys!
Copy !req
1163. You know what?
Slow the down.
Copy !req
1164. We're going ahead!
Copy !req
1165. I have no idea
Copy !req
1166. what you're
talking about, dude.
Copy !req
1167. You're us over,
big time,
Copy !req
1168. and right now,
I've had enough.
Copy !req
1169. It's only an hour
into re-launch
Copy !req
1170. at Mike & Nellie's.
Copy !req
1171. We're gonna be firing.
Copy !req
1172. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Copy !req
1173. I have four filets up here.
Copy !req
1174. Mike has slipped back
into his old ways
Copy !req
1175. and is refusing to share
Copy !req
1176. the leadership
of the kitchen with Dan.
Copy !req
1177. We're going ahead!
Copy !req
1178. I have no idea
Copy !req
1179. what you're
talking about, dude.
Copy !req
1180. And a successful re-launch
is in jeopardy.
Copy !req
1181. I need you running this
Copy !req
1182. and coordinate
the kitchen properly,
Copy !req
1183. and I want you
to get behind him, yes?
Copy !req
1184. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1185. All right, let's pick up
one strip medium.
Copy !req
1186. Cooking up the rib-eye.
Copy !req
1187. Shrimp, chicken,
and rib-eye.
Copy !req
1188. I-I'm losing you.
Copy !req
1189. You're confirming to me
Copy !req
1190. you're not listening
one little bit.
Copy !req
1191. I know it's hard,
Copy !req
1192. but it's not
difficult.
Copy !req
1193. It will be
if you don't listen.
Copy !req
1194. Get them working for you.
Copy !req
1195. I need Danny now to start,
firing his orders.
Copy !req
1196. Right, I got you.
Come on.
Copy !req
1197. You can do this.
Copy !req
1198. This restaurant
is not all about me.
Copy !req
1199. I need help to run it,
and Dan's the man to do it.
Copy !req
1200. Order in, strip, filet medium,
rib-eye medium.
Copy !req
1201. Excellent, let's go.
Copy !req
1202. Next up, two skirt—
one rare, one med-rare.
Copy !req
1203. I got it, Daniel.
Copy !req
1204. Rare is going on.
It'll be two minutes.
Copy !req
1205. With Dan regaining control
of the tickets...
Copy !req
1206. Dan, tell me again
what's going on right now.
Copy !req
1207. Filet medium, cod.
Copy !req
1208. Filet medium
and a cod, got it.
Copy !req
1209. The kitchen has found
the proper rhythm.
Copy !req
1210. Medium-well
on the right, chef.
Copy !req
1211. Mike?
Yes, Chef?
Copy !req
1212. The steaks look fantastic.
I got it, baby.
Copy !req
1213. My table loved
all their steaks.
Copy !req
1214. Thank you!
Copy !req
1215. I got zero complaints
Copy !req
1216. about the food tonight.
Copy !req
1217. Everything was amazing.
Copy !req
1218. Steaks rested?
Yes, they are.
Copy !req
1219. Put it out, baby.
Copy !req
1220. Dan was really
into his job tonight
Copy !req
1221. and really took
a lot of pressure off of me.
Copy !req
1222. You like the way
it looks in here?
Copy !req
1223. The food will be out in plenty
of time, and you'll love it.
Copy !req
1224. It was very rewarding
walking around out right there.
Copy !req
1225. Good.
Nice to see you.
Copy !req
1226. I felt
my father's spirit here
Copy !req
1227. watching over me
and everybody,
Copy !req
1228. and it felt wonderful.
Copy !req
1229. How are you doing,
daddy?
Copy !req
1230. Ah, I can't get
the smile off my face.
Copy !req
1231. My dad completely
turned it around.
Copy !req
1232. It's great to see him
so happy.
Copy !req
1233. Mike, how was
the dining room?
Copy !req
1234. I'm good. Everybody
looks happy and smiling.
Copy !req
1235. Keep it that way.
All right, brother.
Copy !req
1236. Board is clear!
Copy !req
1237. Chef Ramsay showed my staff
Copy !req
1238. that they need to support
what I do.
Copy !req
1239. Everybody did great.
Copy !req
1240. I think this is gonna be
Copy !req
1241. the most successful place
around here.
Copy !req
1242. All right.
Copy !req
1243. Let me
tell you something.
Yes.
Copy !req
1244. When I first arrived,
your head was in the grill.
Copy !req
1245. Stubborn, wouldn't come out.
Copy !req
1246. You've transformed
and worked with me.
Copy !req
1247. Thank you.
Copy !req
1248. In there right now
is the spirit of Nellie.
Copy !req
1249. I agree.
Copy !req
1250. And for me,
Copy !req
1251. that is enough to confirm
that you can do it.
Copy !req
1252. I believe in you.
Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
1253. Thank you so much
for everything.
Copy !req
1254. We appreciate everything
you did and more.
Copy !req
1255. Thank you. It's been
a pleasure and an honor.
Copy !req
1256. Likewise.
Good to see you back.
Copy !req
1257. Keep it going, yes?
Well done.
Copy !req
1258. Chef Ramsay inspired me.
Copy !req
1259. I was ready
to close this place up.
Copy !req
1260. But we got through it.
Copy !req
1261. We persevered and now,
Copy !req
1262. I'm gonna rock this place.
Copy !req
1263. I'm gonna rock this town.
Copy !req
1264. Come here.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1265. My father Nelson
would be crying right now,
Copy !req
1266. overwhelmed by joy.
Copy !req
1267. I know he's watching.
Copy !req
1268. Daddy, thank you.
Copy !req
1269. Hope you're proud of me.
Copy !req
1270. Good job!
Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
1271. Look after him,
will you?
Will do.
Copy !req
1272. Thank you for everything.
Okay.
Copy !req
1273. Get that spirit in there.
Copy !req
1274. Well done.
Copy !req
1275. When I first arrived
at Mike & Nellie's,
Copy !req
1276. this had to be the most
depressing restaurant
Copy !req
1277. in America,
Copy !req
1278. from the food to the decor,
Copy !req
1279. even to the owner.
Copy !req
1280. But tonight, with the help of
a guardian angel named Nellie,
Copy !req
1281. a miracle happened,
Copy !req
1282. because this restaurant
Copy !req
1283. has become
the hottest steakhouse
Copy !req
1284. in the whole of New Jersey.
Copy !req
1285. I just hope it will
continue along those lines.
Copy !req
1286. That carpet...
Copy !req
1287. I've never smelled
anything so disgusting
Copy !req
1288. in all my life.
Copy !req
1289. I'm sure there's bodies
under there.
Copy !req
1290. In the weeks that followed,
Copy !req
1291. business in Mike & Nellie's
boomed.
Copy !req
1292. That's amazing.
Copy !req
1293. Clearly, the new menu
Copy !req
1294. is a big hit
in this New Jersey town.
Copy !req
1295. I will be back for this.
Copy !req
1296. Look at this menu.
My God!
Copy !req
1297. This is a classic
steakhouse menu.
Copy !req
1298. My customers love it.
Copy !req
1299. Outstanding.
Copy !req
1300. This is the whole turn-around
I've been waiting for.
Copy !req
1301. Order in!
Copy !req
1302. Dan has been outstanding
Copy !req
1303. in his new role
in the kitchen.
Copy !req
1304. 15 seconds, 15 seconds!
Copy !req
1305. Do we have those strips
med-well?
Copy !req
1306. Comin' right now, baby.
Copy !req
1307. And Mike is embracing
the change.
Copy !req
1308. Wow.
Wait till you
see the menu.
Copy !req
1309. Allowing him to spend more time
with his diners...
Copy !req
1310. It was excellent.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1311. And now, he's following
Copy !req
1312. in the footsteps
of his father.
Copy !req
1313. Love you, buddy.
I love you too.
Copy !req
1314. And there is nobody happier
than his two daughters,
Copy !req
1315. Samantha and Lexi.
Copy !req
1316. Next time
on Kitchen Nightmares,
Copy !req
1317. Gordon visits an embattled
Italian restaurant
Copy !req
1318. called Luigi's.
Copy !req
1319. Well, when the
are you gonna answer back?
Copy !req
1320. With two brothers
Copy !req
1321. who can't stand to be
around each other.
Copy !req
1322. Get the
out of here!
Copy !req
1323. And a wife no one
can stand to be around.
Copy !req
1324. No! I just said that!
Copy !req
1325. It's the most
dysfunctional family restaurant
Copy !req
1326. you're lying!
Copy !req
1327. Chef Ramsay
has ever encountered.
Copy !req
1328. We are losing
the business.
Copy !req
1329. Because of him!
Copy !req
1330. You won't
believe what happens
Copy !req
1331. on the most intense
Kitchen Nightmares ever.
Copy !req
1332. I can't
stand it anymore!
Copy !req
