TONIGHT ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES...

MY BUSINESS
IS ABOUT TO CLOSE!

GORDON IS IN HOLLYWOOD...

WAKE UP,
YOU IDIOTS!

TO SAVE A RESTAURANT
THAT IS SO UNBELIEVABLE...

SIR, PUT YOUR HANDS
IN FRONT OF YOU.

IT FEELS MORE LIKE THE SET
OF A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE,

STARRING A DESPERATE OWNER...

THERE IS
A BOSS HERE!

SO DON'T ARGUE
ABOUT EVERYTHING.

HIS ANGRY SON...



SHUT THE UP!

THEN STOP PICKING ON ME.

AND A MANAGER
WHO JUST LOVES TO DECORATE.

I LIKE TO MAKE
PRETTY AND NICE.

I DON'T RESPECT MARK.
WHAT ELSE DOES THE GUY DO?

HE'S AN INTERIOR DECORATOR,
FOR GOD'S SAKE.

THIS MOVIE IS PART TRAGEDY...

- CONGRATULATIONS.
- IT'S A DISGRACE.

PART COMEDY...

I DON'T LIKE IT,
BUT YOU CLEARLY DO.

GOOD BOY.

AND PART DRAMA.

WHAT THE
IS WRONG WITH YOU?

DON'T START
WITH ME!



BUT FOR GORDON RAMSAY,
IT'S A SHOCKING HORROR EPIC...

MARK,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

THAT JUST MIGHT BE
HIS TOUGHEST CHALLENGE YET.

WHENEVER I SEE THAT,
I'M GONNA BE PISSED OFF!

WHENEVER I SEE THAT,
I'M GONNA BE PISSED OFF!

TONIGHT, IT'S THE WORLD PREMIERE
OF SANTE LA BREA.

THE CITY OF ANGELS,

FAMOUS FOR ITS MOVIE STARS,

FAMOUS FOR ITS MOVIE STARS,

STUNNING COASTLINE,
AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

THE IDEAL PLACE TO HAVE
A HEALTHY RESTAURANT.

BUT IN SPITE OF ITS LOCATION,

SANTE LA BREA
IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION.

IT'S CHEWY.
IT'S LIKE MEAT, BUT NOT.

DEAN, THE OWNER, AND HIS
TWO SONS, ARTHUR AND SAMMY,

HAVE BEEN RUNNING SANTE
FOR NEARLY TEN YEARS.

DRY RED WINE.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I DON'T KNOW
THE DRINK, BRO.

BUT BUSINESS HAS DWINDLED
TO ALMOST NOTHING,

AND THIS FATHER-SON TEAM

IS IN DESPERATE NEED
OF GORDON RAMSAY'S HELP.

I'M THE OWNER.
I'M THE COOK.

I'M THE OWNER.
I'M THE COOK.

I'M THE JANITOR.
I ALSO DO ALL THE MAINTENANCE.

IS THE WATER STILL ON?

WITH A VERY THIN THREAD,
I'M HOLDING THIS PLACE IN LINE.

DO YOU WANT TO TAKE
THIS TABLE?
MAYBE DAD SHOULD.

HELL, NO.
YOU WANT IT TO BE GOOD, RIGHT?

THIS PLACE IS RUNNING, LIKE,
WITHOUT A CAPTAIN.

AND I DON'T THINK MY DAD
CAN REALLY BE A MANAGER.

HOW ABOUT
YOU JUST MAN UP, MAN?

SACK UP
AND DO THIS MAN.

I ALWAYS WANTED
TO BE SURROUNDED

WITH GOOD, INTELLIGENT,
STRONG PEOPLE.

I NEEDED HELP,
LIKE GENUINE HELP.

I HIRED MARK
ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO.

THERE'S A LOT OF FOOD HERE,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHO IT'S FOR.

THERE'S A LOT OF FOOD HERE,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHO IT'S FOR.

MY ROLE HERE
IS A LITTLE BIT UNDEFINED.

THERE WAS REALLY
NO JOB TITLE.

I'LL BE THE HOSTESS.
I'M THE BEST HOSTESS.

WE DON'T KNOW.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DOES.

I THINK OF MARK MORE
OF THE INTERIOR DECORATOR.

I WANT TO MAKE IT FEEL
LIKE A NICE, WELCOMING HOME.

I DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I TREAT IT
AS THOUGH IT'S MINE.

I'VE WORKED HERE
SINCE I WAS 15 YEARS OLD.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME
IT WAS, LIKE, BUSY.

JUST HOLD YOUR BREATH.
IT'S ONLY 7:00.

THE NIGHTMARE IS THE FACT
THAT I'M NOT MAKING MONEY.

MY FATHER IS IN AT LEAST
$200, 000 DEBT.

I OWE EVERYBODY.

I OWE EVERYBODY.

I OWE THE LANDLORD,
TAXES, VENDORS.

I'M SHORT ON MY MORTGAGE.

IT'S REALLY SAD.
I-I GAVE IT MY ALL.

I--IT'S MY HEART
AND MY SOUL AND MY TIME.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, MAN.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.

EVERYTHING IS IN JEOPARDY.

I STAND TO LOSE EVERYTHING.

I THINK WE NEED
CHEF RAMSAY'S HELP

BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE WE'RE DOING.

EVERYONE AT SANTE LA BREA

IS GETTING READY
FOR CHEF RAMSAY'S ARRIVAL.

I'M NERVOUS AND EXCITED
ABOUT MEETING CHEF RAMSAY.

I'M NERVOUS AND EXCITED
ABOUT MEETING CHEF RAMSAY.

IT'S LIKE BEING AWAKE
IN A DREAM.

AURELIO DIDN'T SHOW UP.

AURELIO
DIDN'T SHOW UP AGAIN.

BUT OWNER DEAN HAS JUST RECEIVED
UPSETTING NEWS.

THEY LOCKED HIS PHONE,
AND HIS HOME PHONE IS NO ANSWER.

AURELIO?
BABY, WHERE ARE YOU, MAN?

I NEED YOU.

HIS HEAD CHEF, AURELIO,

IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

COME OVER, OKAY?
I REALLY NEED YOU TODAY.

OKAY, BYE.

AURELIO'S A NO-SHOW TODAY, SO
IT'S LIKE, UH, WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
TO MEET CHEF RAMSAY.

I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
TO MEET CHEF RAMSAY.

I HEARD THE GUY'S
LIKE 6'2" AND.

HE'S A MONSTER.

LA BREA AVENUE, ONE
OF THE BUSIEST STREETS IN L. A.

AND HOME TO HUNDREDS
OF SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANTS.

ONE THING'S FOR SURE,
THE LOCATION IS NOT AN ISSUE.

I'M ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHAT IS.

MY GOD.

HOW ARE YOU?
CHEF RAMSAY,
NICE TO MEET YOU.

THIS IS DEAN, YES?
YES, IT IS.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.
GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.

SO, THIS IS DIFFERENT.

THIS IS...
YES.

WELCOME TO MY PLACE.
IT IS DIFFERENT.

GIVE ME A, UH...
A LITTLE TOUR?

A LITTLE TOUR, YES.

A LITTLE TOUR, YES.

OKAY, THIS HAS BEEN REMODELED
LATELY, NOT TOO LONG AGO.

AND I JUST PUT THAT
IN TOGETHER.

IT'S SUPPOSED
TO BE WHEAT GRASS.

GEEZ, YOU GOT GRASS GROWING
IN THE CORNER.

YES, WHEAT GRASS.

OH, YOU GREW THAT.
YES, WE DO.

,
WHAT IS IT?

ACTUALLY...
THAT THERE?

EXCELLENT.

OKAY.

YOU GOT--

I'M NOT GONNA
GIVE IT TO YOU.

OH, ME.

THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT CHEF RAMSAY.

THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT CHEF RAMSAY.

IT JUST, UH,
FREEZES A PART OF YOUR BRAIN.

SO, THE FOOD.
TELL ME ABOUT THE FOOD.

IS IT ALL VEGAN?

NO.
VEGETARIAN?

NO, WE'RE--WE HAVE
CHICKEN AND FISH.

CHICKEN AND FISH?
YES, WE DO.

I THOUGHT IT WAS VEGAN.

EVERYTHING IN THE KITCHEN
IS MADE--MADE IN TWO VERSIONS,

EITHER VEGAN VERSIONS
OR NON-VEGAN VERSIONS.

HOW MANY CHEFS YOU GOT
IN THE BRIGADES?

- UH...
- WHAT A HEAD.

I HAVE--ACTUALLY,
I HAVE NONE TODAY.

MY CHEF DIDN'T SHOW UP.

IS HE SICK?
IS HE...

I DON'T KNOW.
HE'S JUST VANISHED.

EVERYONE
TAKES ADVANTAGE OF ME.

EVERYONE
TAKES ADVANTAGE OF ME.

I'M NOT REALLY MAKING MONEY.

I'M ACTUALLY SPENDING MONEY
FROM LAST YEAR.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM
WITH THE RESTAURANT?

STRAIGHT OFF,
WHAT IS IT?

REALLY, MONEY--MONEY
IS THE ISSUE HERE.

MARK SPENT $5, 000
ON THESE THINGS.

HE BOUGHT
$5, 000 WORTH OF...

PRODUCTS.
PRODUCTS.

SO MARK'S YOUR PARTNER.

MARK IS NOT MY PARTNER.
HE JUST LENT ME $10, 000.

MARK IS JUST A BIG TALKER.

HE JUST TALKS TOO MUCH.

HE MAKES--MAKES MANY IDEAS
HE DOESN'T FOLLOW UP WITH.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
LIKEWISE, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
I HEARD SO MUCH
ABOUT YOU.

EXPLAIN TO ME
WHAT YOU DO.

EXPLAIN TO ME
WHAT YOU DO.

UM, RIGHT NOW, I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO MAKE THE PLACE

JUST A LITTLE MORE HIP,
A LITTLE MORE FRESH,

A LITTLE MORE MODERN.

RIGHT. OKAY, TELL ME
ABOUT THE DESIGN.

WHAT ARE YOU--
WHAT'S THE VISION HERE?

I WANT IT TO BE LIKE
NO OTHER PLACE YOU'VE EVER SEEN.

YOU'RE DEFINITELY,
DEFINITELY NOT WRONG THERE.

THAT'S FOR SURE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

I'M DYING TO GET
SOMETHING TO EAT.

GET UP TO SPEED
OF TASTING SOME GRASS, YEAH?

DO YOU WANT--
I'M A LITTLE BIT HOT.

I'M GONNA SIT OUTSIDE
ON THE TERRACE

AND, UH...
I'LL BRING THE MENU.

GOT TO GET
SOME FRESH AIR.

NICE TO MEET YOU, MARK.

NICE TO MEET YOU, MARK.

NICE TO MEET YOU
TOO, REALLY.
LIKEWISE.

THANK YOU.
SWEATY HANDS.

YOUR HANDS ARE SWEATY.
MINE?

YEAH.
I'M VERY HOT.
I'M VERY HOT.

AND IT'S HOT.
I CAN CHANGE IT NOW.

EXCELLENT.

HE IS H-O-T HOT.
HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT.

NO.

ALL RIGHTY.
GOOD AFTERNOON, CHEF RAMSAY.

SAMMY, HOW ARE YOU, BUDDY?
I'M ALL RIGHT, MAN.

WE GOT A COLD GLASS
OF WATER.
THANK YOU.

WHAT CAN I GET
FOR YOU?

I'LL GO FOR THE PATTY MELT,
THE TURKEY, PLEASE.

NICE.
PATTY MELT.

OKAY.

AND THEN I'M FASCINATED--

WHICH I'VE NEVER COME
ACROSS BEFORE--

THE MOGO DUFU.

THE MOGO DUFU.

WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S LIKE A--
IT'S LIKE--

IT'S LIKE A STIR-FRY,

A MIXED-VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
WITH BLACK-BEAN SAUCE.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT SPICY.
OKAY.

AND THEN I'LL FINISH OFF
WITH THE BLACKENED SALMON.

THANK YOU.
BRILLIANT.

ALL RIGHT,
YOU GOT IT.

WOW.
"MOGO TOFU."

"MOGO TOFU."

ORRALE, GUEY.
A GRANDE ORDER, MAN.

COME ON, HEY.

WHAT'S THE DOG'S NAME,
PLEASE?

TUBBS.

TUBBS.

OKAY.

TURKEY PATTY MELT.

TURKEY PATTY MELT.

ABSOLUTELY.
THANK YOU.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

WHAT IS HE EATING RIGHT NOW
THAT HE'S LOOKING

LIKE HE'S PICKING THROUGH IT
LIKE IT'S DOG?

TURKEY MELT.
MY GOD.

OH.

THIS RESTAURANT PRIDES ITSELF
ON BEING HEALTHY.

THAT DOES NOT LOOK HEALTHY.

THAT IS DRY.

AND THEY ARE DISGUSTING.

COME HERE.

LOOK.
SMELL. TUBBS.

THERE YOU GO.

A LITTLE BIT MORE, TUBBS?

THERE YOU GO, BUDDY.

THERE YOU GO, BUDDY.

HE'S FEEDING THE TURKEY
PATTY MELT TO THE DOG, DUDE.

I SAW HIM FEEDING THE BURGER
TO THE DOG.

FIRST OF ALL, I'M SO GLAD
THE DOG ATE IT.

I WAS SO GLAD,
'CAUSE I THOUGHT,

"IF THE DOG DOESN'T EAT
THIS BURGER, WE'RE."

THIS HERE IS A MOGO DUFU.

OH, GOD.

OH, COME ON.
THIS IS A JOKE.

* HE DOESN'T LIKE IT

I DIDN'T KNOW MOGO DUFU MEANS
IN CHINESE,

THAT'S FOR SURE.

HE'S LAUGHING
HIS ASS OFF.
HE'S RIPPIN'!

HE'S LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF.
HE'S RIPPIN'.

HE'S LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF.
HE'S RIPPIN'.

RICE COOKED TO HELL.

AND...

AND I'M STUCK HERE,
IN THE CENTER OF LA BREA,

WITH MOGO DUFU.

OH, COME ON.

THAT IS SHOCKING.

MY GOD.

THAT'S WHAT HE WAS--THAT'S WHAT
HE WAS RIPPING APART.

OH, THAT'S HORRIBLE.

MAYBE HE CAN GET THROUGH TO DEAN
ABOUT THE FOOD.

MAYBE HE CAN GET THROUGH TO DEAN
ABOUT THE FOOD.

- YOU CAN SMELL IT.
- YOU CAN TASTE IT. YOU.

AND THIS
IS THE SALMON HERE.

BLACKENED SALMON.

BLACKENED SALMON, ABSOLUTELY.
VERY BLACKENED.

IT'S DRY,
AND IT TASTES...

WAY TOO FISHY
FOR SALMON.

LIKE IT'S BEEN
IN A...

REFRIGERATION UNIT
THAT'S NOT EVEN PROPERLY COOLED.

REFRIGERATION UNIT
THAT'S NOT EVEN PROPERLY COOLED.

DISGUSTING.

GOD, THE FOOD IS BAD.

HOW WAS IT?

JUST IN TERMS
OF THE PRESENTATION,

IT LOOKED LIKE
A DOG'S DINNER.

MM-HMM.

THEN YOU GET
TO TASTE IT.

IT WAS HIDEOUS.

HEALTHY FOOD...
YEAH.

DOES NOT HAVE TO LOOK LIKE
AND TASTE CRAP.

NO. I AGREE WITH YOU.

SO...

OH, GOD.

OH,.

OH,.

OH!
NOT THAT BAD.

SHOW ME WHERE THE SALMON IS.
IT WAS SMELLING FISHY.

UN BELIEVABLE.

FRESH SALMON.
OH, DEAR.

THAT'S WILD SALMON.
WHEN DID IT COME IN?

YESTERDAY.

YESTERDAY?

MY SALMON
WAS VERY FISHY.

YOU GOT ALL THAT
IN THERE YESTERDAY?
YES.

SO YOU GOT THE SALMON
AND THE TURKEY

IN THE SAME CONTAINER
MELTING.

SO THE CHICKEN
COMES IN FRESH?

YES, IT DOES.

I GUESS THIS IS EXTRA.
YOU KNOW, WHENEVER WE HAVE--

WHY ARE YOU LYING?
NO, I'M NOT LYING TO YOU.

THIS IS NOT EXACTLY
WHAT I EXPECTED TO FIND

IN A HEALTHY RESTAURANT.

WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE?

WHEN CHEF RAMSAY FOUND

ALL THE STUFF THAT'S BEEN THERE
FOR A LONG TIME...

IT'S ROTTEN.

IT WAS VERY DISTURBING TO ME.

YOUR FOOD IS ABOUT AS HEALTHY
AS THESE VEGETABLES.

I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT NOBODY
LOOKS IN THE REFRIGERATOR.

WERE YOU GONNA SERVE
THIS TONIGHT?
NO.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, DEAN,
THERE'S A LOT OF FOOD IN THERE

THAT YOU'RE NOT SERVING.

WHEN I SMELL HEY,

I GO STRAIGHT
FOR THE JUGULAR.

I GO STRAIGHT
FOR THE JUGULAR.

I FELT DESTROYED.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

I FEEL LIKE BREAKING DOWN
COMPLETELY.

I LET THE CHEF TAKE CARE
OF THE--THE REFRIGERATOR.

I DON'T LOOK INTO IT.

THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS.

YES, IT IS.

IT'S TRUE.

THERE'S NOTHING
FOR ME TO SAY.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM
IN THIS RESTAURANT IS YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS.

IT'S A DISGRACE.

COMING UP...

MOGO DUFU
IS A TOILET.

GORDON TRANSFORMS DEAN...

WAKE UP,
YOU IDIOTS!

AND GETS HIM TO TAKE CONTROL
OF HIS BUSINESS.

THERE IS A BOSS HERE!

EVEN IF I'M WRONG,
JUST DO IT!

BUT THERE IS STILL CHAOS
IN THE KITCHEN.

YOU CAN LOUDER.

WHAT THE
IS WRONG WITH YOU?

DON'T START
WITH ME!

CAN MANAGER MARK TAKE THE HEAT?

AND THEN LATER,
ONE SHOCKING SURPRISE...

SIR, PUT YOUR HANDS
IN FRONT OF YOU.

THAT WILL CHANGE
SANTE LA BREA FOREVER.

AFTER GORDON DISCOVERED

THE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS
OF THE FOOD STORAGE...

IT'S ROTTEN.

OWNER DEAN IS DEVASTATED.

I MEAN, IS IT OKAY
IF I SIT DOWN?

DAD GOT VERY EMOTIONAL.

I FELT LIKE THE HOPELESSNESS
KIND OF FEELING

FROM HIM, YOU KNOW, IN A WAY.

AND IT WAS REALLY SAD.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, MAN,
WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN,

BECAUSE WE GOT MR. GORDON
ON OUR SIDE.

YOU'RE RIGHT
IT WON'T EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

AND ALL THESE THINGS
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DUMPED

BY AURELIO
YESTERDAY.

BY AURELIO
YESTERDAY.

LOOK, THERE HE IS.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

TWO HOURS LATE, CHEF AURELIO
FINALLY SHOWS UP FOR WORK.

YOU BETTER DEAL
WITH THIS LIKE A MAN.

THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE STUFF
INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR?

IT'S ALL BAD AND MOLDY AND
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

WE SHOULD'VE DUMPED IT BEFORE.

SEE, REMEMBER, EGGPLANT
IS SUPPOSED TO BE DUMPED,

YOU KNOW?

IT'S OKAY.
WHO CARES?

DUDE, WE HAD A UP
SITUATION TODAY, MAN.

CAN WE EVEN TRUST THIS GUY?
CAN WE TRUST YOU ANYMORE?

CAN WE EVEN TRUST THIS GUY?
CAN WE TRUST YOU ANYMORE?

I MEAN...
I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

NO, MAN, WE TRUST HIM.

TAKE HIM BACK WITH OPEN ARMS.

SERIOUSLY, IT'S THE CANCER
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WE CAN'T DO THIS
ANYMORE, MAN.

- MY DAD'S GOT NO.
- HE GOT NO.

HE CAN'T GET RID OF HIM.

I'M DISTRESSED.

YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SERVE ANY FOOD
WITHOUT HIM.

I'M STUCK HERE.

I HAVE NO CHOICE.

I GOT TO KEEP HIM

BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE
NO ONE OTHERWISE.

OH.

I SEE THE TEARS
FLOWING, DAD.

I SEE THE TEARS
FLOWING, DAD.

I REALLY WANT TO CRY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, MAN.

IT'LL BE GOOD.

GIVE ME A HUG, MAN.
SHOW ME SOME LOVE.

LET'S SEE SOME--LET'S SEE
SOME--SOME FATHERLY LOVE.

ALL THIS CHAOS,
ALL THIS CONFUSION--

THIS IS THE WORST THING
THAT CAN HAPPEN

TO A RESTAURANT OWNER,
ACTUALLY.

IT'S KIND OF CRINGING TO ME.
IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD.

- FOUR FOR DINNER?
- YES.

COME ON WITH ME,
PLEASE.

TWO IT IS.
AND FOR YOURSELF, SIR?

UH, THE SAFFRON.

NOW THAT CHEF AURELIO
IS HERE FOR DINNER,

GORDON HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE
IF THE RESTAURANT FOOD

IS ANY BETTER
WHEN THE CHEF IS AROUND.

DID YOU SEE THE FRIDGE?

YEAH.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT,
ANYTHING TO SAY, OR...

NO, I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO SAY.
NOTHING TO SAY.

IT'S MY FAULT.
HE KNOWS IT'S MY FAULT.

IT IS--IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY,
AFTER ALL.

IT IS--IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY,
AFTER ALL.

THEY GOT BUSY?

WHY ARE YOU SCARED
OF THE CHEFS?

AURELIO IS ONE OF THOSE ENTITIES
IN MY LIFE

AURELIO IS ONE OF THOSE ENTITIES
IN MY LIFE

THAT I CAN'T LIVE WITH
AND I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.

I'M TIRED, DUDE.

WE HAVE MEDITERRANEAN PLATTERS,
LIKE HUMMUS, TABBOULEH,

BABA GHANOUSH, AND PITA.

IT'S AN HOUR INTO SERVICE,

AND DINNER CONVERSATION
AT THIS RESTAURANT

IS PRIMARILY
ABOUT THE POOR FOOD.

DECIDED ABOUT EATING HEALTHILY
THIS EVENING?

NO. RIGHT.

ENJOY.

HAVING HEARD THE GENERAL
SENTIMENT OF THE CUSTOMERS,

GORDON HEADS BACK TO
THE KITCHEN

TO GET TO THE ROOT
OF THE PROBLEM.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

AND WHAT IS THAT?

AND WHAT IS THAT?

YOU ALMOST GOT IN
ALTOGETHER.

"UNDUCK."
IT'S DUCK, BUT IT'S "UNDUCK."

IT'S FAKE--FAKE DUCK.

FAKE DUCK?

SO YOU CALL IT WHAT?

WE CALL IT "UNDUCK."

"UNDUCK"?
"UNDUCK."

RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M
GETTING COMPLETELY.

IS THAT POPULAR?
YEAH, IT IS.

ACTUALLY, A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK
FOR THAT TOO.

"UNDUCK."
DUCK.

DUCK.

THAT'S FAKE FISH.

FAKE FISH?

FAKE FISH?

AND IT LOOKS LIKE FISH
AND TASTES LIKE FISH,

AND IT'S GOT SEAWEED
ON--ON THE OUTSIDE.

WE HAVE EVERYTHING
THAT'S "UN."

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

SO FAR I'VE HAD
"UNDUCK," "UNFISH,"

AND UN BELIEVABLE.

WHAT A MESS.

NOT MY FAVORITE.
NO.

"A"?

GOD BLESS LOS ANGELES.

YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?

AFTER A DISAPPOINTING
DINNER SERVICE...

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

GORDON CONFRONTS THE STAFF

WITH THE HARSH REALITY
OF THE SITUATION.

I'M SOMEWHAT CONFUSED.

UM,
NOBODY SEEMS TO TAKE

AND ACCEPT
RESPONSIBILITY.

EVERYBODY'S
A FREE-FOR-ALL.

NO RULES, NO ONE'S FEARING
FOR THEIR JOB.

JUST A LACK OF CARE.

AND I THINK A MANAGER NEEDS
TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS HAPPEN.

ALL THESE THINGS
THAT ARE UNATTENDED TO--

I-I HAVE TO TAKE BLAME FOR.
IT'S ALL ME.

FOR SOME REASON,
PEOPLE ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME.

MY MANAGEMENT STYLE
IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.

MY MANAGEMENT STYLE
IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.

IT'S NOT WORKING.

LET ME TELL YOU, YEAH, WHAT
THE PROBLEM IS HERE AT SANTE.

LACK OF MANAGEMENT,
YEAH, THAT'S CLEAR.

THAT'S HAPPENING.

BUT LET ME TELL YOU
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE

IS THE FOOD.

NOT JUST THE FOOD,
IT'S THE.

EVERYTHING'S A GIMMICK--
"UNCHICKEN," "UNDUCK."

YOUR PHILOSOPHY
IS NOT A HEALTHY STYLE.

THE I UNCOVERED
IN THE FREEZER,

THE DISCOVERY
IN THE FRIDGE.

YOU GOT GRASS HANGING
FROM THE CEILING.

IT'S LIKE
LORD OF THE FLIESUP THERE.

IT'S LIKE
LORD OF THE FLIESUP THERE.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE
HOVERING AROUND THERE?

MNH-MNH.

I AM NOT GOING
ANY FURTHER

UNTIL THIS PLACE
IS CLEAN.

AND I MEAN SPOTLESS.

IF A HEALTH INSPECTOR
HAD WITNESSED WHAT I WITNESSED

JUST IN ONE OF THE FRIDGES,
BANG, GAME OVER.

CLEAN THIS PIGSTY.

THIS PLACE
DOES NOT DESERVE AN "A."

AND THE ONLY THING
YOU'RE GETTING FROM ME TONIGHT

IS THAT, AN "F."

IS THAT, AN "F."

THERE, IT'S STAYING ON.

AND, GUYS,
I'LL TAKE IT DOWN TOMORROW,

PERSONALLY, YEAH,

WHEN IT'S UP
TO THE STANDARD OF AN "A."

NOW MOVE
YOUR ASSES.

THERE, IT'S STAYING ON.

AFTER GIVING
SANTE LA BREA AN "F"

FOR THEIR FILTHY KITCHEN...

I'LL TAKE IT DOWN TOMORROW,
PERSONALLY, YEAH,

WHEN IT'S UP TO THE STANDARD
OF AN "A."

NOW MOVE YOUR ASSES.

THE STAFF WORKED
THROUGH THE NIGHT,

CLEANING EVERY INCH
OF THE RESTAURANT.

I CERTAINLY WASN'T GONNA HAVE
GORDON COME THROUGH AND SAY,

"WHAT IS THE MATTER HERE?
DID YOU NOT LISTEN?"

A THOROUGH CLEANING
IS THE FIRST STEP

A THOROUGH CLEANING
IS THE FIRST STEP

THAT SANTE LA BREA HAS TAKEN
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

BUT BEFORE GORDON CAN CHANGE
THE MENU OR THE FOOD,

HE NEEDS TO CHANGE ITS OWNER.

GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.

HOW YOU FEELING?

VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

TOUGH DAY YESTERDAY?
YESTERDAY WAS VERY TOUGH.

REALLY TOUGH,
BUT TOUGHER THAN I EXPECTED.

WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT
THE BURDEN IS ON THESE.

YOU'RE NOT LETTING GO.

YOU'RE NOT RELEASING
ANY OF THAT PRESSURE.

IT MUST BE
SO FRUSTRATING INSIDE

BECAUSE NOBODY'S
LISTENING, DEAN.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

BECAUSE NOBODY'S
LISTENING, DEAN.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

THE CHEF'S
NOT EVEN LISTENING.

YOU EMPLOY THEM.
THEY DON'T EMPLOY YOU.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW
HOW TO TALK TO THE STAFF.

YOU'RE CORRECT.
YEAH.

WE'RE NOW STANDING
ON THE TOP OF THE CANYON.

NOBODY, YEAH,
CAN HEAR US.

SO WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO
IS LET IT OUT.

LET'S START OFF
WITH MARK FIRST, YEAH?

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
TO SAY TO HIM?

GET--GET THE
OUT OF MY LIFE.

GET--GET THE
OUT OF MY LIFE.

I DON'T WANT YOU AROUND.

YEAH.

THAT'S IT?
THAT'S HOW YOU TELL STAFF?

PATHETIC.

HERE WE GO.

MARK, UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE
HERE TO RUN THE RESTAURANT,

YEAH, NOT TO RUN CRAP
UP MY WALLS.

START LISTENING
TO ME NOW!

CHEF AURELIO, IF YOU EVER LEAVE
MY KITCHEN THAT STATE AGAIN,

LOOK FOR A NEW JOB,
YOU LITTLE.

AURELIO.

WHA--WHAT--WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH YOU?

DIDN'T I TELL YOU
TO GO AHEAD

DIDN'T I TELL YOU
TO GO AHEAD

AND CLEAN
THE REFRIGERATOR?

IT'S NOT DIFFICULT.
IT'S BUSINESS.

YOU HAVE TO GET A GRIP
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

I WANT TO KNOW FROM YOU,
FACE-TO-FACE,

THAT YOU ARE GONNA ACCEPT
RESPONSIBILITY

AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY,
TAKE CONTROL.

I'VE GOT TO HEAR YOU.

IT IS HARD FOR ME TO LET GO,

BUT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO TAKE
CHEF RAMSAY'S ADVICE.

MARK!

THAT'S BETTER.
GOOD.

LISTEN, NO MORE
NO MORE AROUND,

LISTEN, NO MORE
NO MORE AROUND,

NO MORE WHATEVER IT IS
THAT YOU BRING,

NO MORE FENG SHUI

AND "DON'T PUT THE MIRROR HERE.
I WANT TO PUT THAT THERE.

JUST DO IT FOR ME THIS TIME.
PLEASE, JUST THIS TIME."

WHAT THE HELL?
NO MORE, OKAY? NO MORE.

EXCELLENT. AURELIO, GIVE IT
TO HIM, YOU LIMP.

AURELIO, WHAT THE?

I KNOW YOU FOR SO LONG,
AND I KNOW YOUR FAMILY.

I WAS STUPID ENOUGH
ONE TIME,

THREE TIMES,
FOUR TIMES, SIX TIMES.

TEN TIMES
I TOOK YOU BACK, MAN.

WHO THE IS IN CHARGE
IN THIS KITCHEN?!

GOOD.
WELL DONE.

GOOD.
WELL DONE.

NOW, THAT
SOUNDS LIKE A BOSS.

IT FEELS GREAT TO JUST SCREAM
OUT AND SAY THOSE THINGS.

I'M NOT USED TO DOING THAT.

WAKE UP, YOU IDIOTS!

LAST ONE.

HERE WE GO.

WAKE UP, IDIOTS!

EXCELLENT.
GOOD.

HEY.

GORDON, RIGHT NOW,

KIND OF GAVE ME A LITTLE BIT
MORE CONFIDENCE.

I'M READY NOW TO GO AHEAD
AND DO MY JOB A LOT BETTER.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

GREAT.

GREAT.

HAVING COMPLETED THE EXERCISE,

DEAN RETURNS TO SANTE AND PUTS
GORDON'S LESSON INTO ACTION.

UNFORTUNATELY,
IT'S WITH HIS SON.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
TO ALL MY APPLES HERE?

I DON'T WANT TO SEE
THE END OF THE BOTTLES HERE.

I TOOK THEM OUT.
I'M NOT PUTTING THEM BACK.

DON'T TALK TO ME
LIKE THIS ANYMORE, OKAY?

DON'T--

EVEN IF I'M
WRONG, DO IT.

MY DAD EXPLODED.

IT WAS A KODAK
MOMENT, MAN.

THERE IS
A BOSS HERE!

SO DON'T ARGUE
ABOUT EVERYTHING!

SO DON'T ARGUE
ABOUT EVERYTHING!

JUST DO IT!

IT'S MY.
I'M RESPONSIBLE.

- AAH!
- HE LAID IT OUT, MAN.

LIKE A BILLOW OF FLAME
CAME OUT.

IT WAS AWESOME.
IT WAS GREAT.

AT THE END
OF EACH SENTENCE,

SAY, "BUT I'LL DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT, SIR."

OKAY.
YES, SIR.

AM I THE BOSS HERE
OR NOT?
YOU ARE.

THEN LISTEN TO ME.
LISTEN TO ME, THAT'S IT.
YES, SIR.

AFTER DEAN RELEASED
HIS FRUSTRATION,

EVERYTHING SETTLED DOWN,

JUST IN TIME FOR GORDON
TO INSPECT THE KITCHEN.

PEPPERS, FRESH, YES?

GORDON CAME IN, AND HE
KIND OF CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT.

WELCOME BACK, YES?

YEAH?
KEEP IT THERE.

THANK GOD THE "F" DID NOT STAY

MORE THAN 10 HOURS
OVERNIGHT.

WITH THE KITCHEN NOW
IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION,

GORDON TURNS HIS ATTENTION
TO THE FOOD.

TWO SPECIALS

FIRST DISH IS A HALIBUT.

WE'RE GONNA COOK IT
IN A MARINADE.

SECOND DISH, SALAD OF SHRIMP,
LOCAL SHRIMP.

SECOND DISH, SALAD OF SHRIMP,
LOCAL SHRIMP.

IT'S REALLY NICE

TO SEE CHEF RAMSAY BE ABLE
TAKE HISJE NE SAIS QUOI

AND BRING IT DOWN TO OUR LEVEL,
LIKE WE'RE DOING GHETTO GORDON.

SHRIMP DOTTED AROUND.

IT'S A CELEBRATION
OF CALIFORNIA.

AND NOW, ON HALIBUT.

TWO VIBRANT,
STRAIGHTFORWARD DISHES.

IT'S 30 MINUTES
BEFORE DINNER SERVICE,

AND ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING

APPEARS TO BE MOVING
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION,

GORDON GATHERS THE GROUP
FOR AN IMPORTANT MEETING.

NOW, DEAN, YESTERDAY

THERE WERE SOME SERIOUS
INFRACTIONS IN THIS RESTAURANT.

THERE WERE SOME SERIOUS
INFRACTIONS IN THIS RESTAURANT.

SPOILED FOOD, YEAH?

PALMS TOGETHER.

OKAY.
WE'RE GOOD.

DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

IN FRONT OF YOU.

PALMS TOGETHER.

I HAD--WHOA!
LIKE, WHAT?

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

AND IT WAS A SCARY MOMENT.

I AM FED UP, UP TO HERE,

WITH YOU WALKING AROUND
PICKING UP AFTER YOUR CHEF.

RUNNING AROUND
AFTER YOUR SONS,

AFTER MARK.

AFTER MARK.

TONIGHT YOU'RE NOT
DOING THAT.

YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING
ANYTHING TONIGHT.

YOU'RE GONNA TELL THEM
EXACTLY WHAT YOU'LL DO.

RUN YOUR BUSINESS VOCALLY.

YOU'RE NOT GETTING ARRESTED,
YOU SILLY BILLY.

HEY, RELAX.

LOOK AT HIM.
HE'S ABOUT TO CRY.

I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

MY DAD'S SUPPOSED
TO BE A MANAGER.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE VERBALLY
CONDUCTING THE SITUATION,

AS OPPOSED TO, LIKE, PHYSICALLY
CLEANING UP AFTER PEOPLE.

THANK YOU, BOB.

OKAY, FIRST TABLE
IS JUST ABOUT TO ARRIVE.

LET'S GO.

LET'S GO.

GOOD LUCK, BY THE WAY.
THANK YOU.

TRY NOT TO SHOW THE HANDCUFFS.
KEEP THEM TUCKED IN THERE, YES?

LET'S GO.

OKAY, GUYS.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE BOSS,
SO I CAN'T HELP YOU, OKAY?

JUST DO
THE BEST YOU CAN.

I'M VERY, VERY EXCITED
ABOUT TONIGHT,

AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD
TO SEE THIS PLACE SWAMPED.

NOW I'M GONNA TRY NOT
TO LET THINGS GO OUT OF HAND.

GOOD EVENING.
NICE TO SEE YOU.

HI, HOW ARE YOU?

SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING.

THIS IS MARK,
OUR HOSTESS FOR THE EVENING.

HI. HOW ARE YOU?

NOW, LET ME EXPLAIN
THE SPECIALS REAL BRIEFLY.

WE HAVE A SPICED HALIBUT, WHICH
IS MARINATED IN FRESH YOGURT.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE
A SHRIMP SALAD.

THE SPECIALS ARE REALLY GOOD,
AND THEY'LL BE GONE QUICKLY.

YOU GOT IT.

OKAY, THIS IS FOR TABLE TWO,
TWO HALIBUT SPECIALS.

SHOWTIME.
I CAN'T--I CAN'T CLAP.

DID YOU WANT
SOMETHING TO DRINK?

MARRETTI AND--
MARRETTI AS WELL.

MARRETTI, MARRETTI.
MARRETTI, MARRETTI.

MARK, YOU'RE SWEATING AGAIN.

MARK, YOU'RE SWEATING AGAIN.

OH, NO, USE A NAPKIN.

IT WAS A WARM NIGHT
HERE IN L. A.

I THOUGHT, "OH, I'LL BE SMART.
I'LL WEAR A LIGHT SHIRT."

HI, LADIES, HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

DID YOU GUYS HAVE
A RESERVATION?

HE'S TOUCHING THEM
WITH HIS SWEATY PALMS.

DON'T TOUCH THE CUSTOMERS.

I WASN'T SWEATING THAT MUCH,

BUT THE SHIRT WAS CATCHING
ALL OF MY SWEAT.

OH.

I DON'T LIKE WEARING DEODORANT.
WHAT CAN I TELL YOU?

DAMP IT DOWN OR DRY IT
OR ABSORB--

IT'S ALL LEAKING OVER.
OH, MY GOD.

DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.

I CAN'T HELP IT.

IT WAS TORTURE TO HAVE--
TO BE IN HANDCUFFS

AND JUST TRYING TO WORK
THE NORMAL WAY.

WHAT IS THIS DOING HERE?

CAN YOU TAKE IT
TO THE FRONT, PLEASE?

RIGHT NOW.
HURRY, HURRY.

HURRY UP.
LIKE, RUN.

RUN, RUN, RUN.
COME ON.

I'M ALWAYS TYING THE LOOSE ENDS
FOR EVERYONE.

NOW I CANNOT.

HALIBUT NOW, OKAY?

ONE HALIBUT FOR THIS ORDER.

THIS IS ONE OF THEM
FOR TABLE TWO?

GOT THE HALIBUT READY?
IT'S READY.

GOT THE HALIBUT READY?
IT'S READY.

TAKE THAT.
TAKE THAT, TAKE THAT.

ALL RIGHT, LADIES.
ENJOY.

LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

OH, IT'S REALLY GOOD.

THE SPECIALS HAVE NEARLY
SOLD OUT, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS.

NOW, MARK, WELL,
HE'S JUST SWEATING LIKE A PIG,

RUNNING AROUND
LIKE A HEADLESS CHICKEN

AND SWEATING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

AS FOR DEAN, I DON'T THINK
THIS GUY IS FINDING IT EASY.

HE'S STRUGGLING NOT TO RUN
AROUND AFTER HIS OWN STAFF.

CRAZY.

THIS ONE IS THIS ONE.

YOU SURE IT'S TABLE TWO?

YES, YES.
JUST GO.

IT'S FINE.
TABLE TWO.

IT'S FINE.
TABLE TWO.

THAT'S THE LAST HALIBUTS,
RIGHT?

DID, UM, YOU WANT
ANY OF THE SPECIALS?

'CAUSE I COULD
MAYBE HOLD ONE

'CAUSE I THINK
THEY'RE GONNA BE GONE.

I DEFINITELY
WANT THAT.

OKAY, I'M GONNA TELL THEM TO
HOLD THOSE THREE HALIBUTS, OKAY?

UNTIL THEY GET YOUR ORDER,
ALL RIGHT?

AURELIO, AURELIO, WILL YOU HOLD
THREE OF THE SPECIALS?

ON TABLE FOUR--

OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.

THE HALIBUT I'M OUT OF
RIGHT NOW; SO SORRY.

YOU SAID YOU STILL HAVE
ONE HALIBUT LEFT OR NO?

SO WHAT IS THIS GONNA DO
WITH THIS ONE?

MARK, CAN YOU COME HERE
FOR A SECOND?

MARK, CAN YOU COME HERE
FOR A SECOND?

FIRST OF ALL,
YOU TOOK AN ORDER.

YOU TOOK A ORDER!

DON'T DO IT!.

MARK SHOULDN'T BE TAKING ORDER.

HE DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TO TAKE AN ORDER.

HE'S ALWAYS MAKING MISTAKES.

AND I LET IT OUT.

LISTEN TO ME.
I UNDERSTAND.

- I UNDERSTAND.
- I'M THE BOSS HERE!

IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR.
IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR, DEAN.

I MADE A POOR CHOICE
AT THAT MOMENT.

IT'S NOT LIKE I SPIT
IN SOMEONE'S SOUP.

ARE YOU GUYS
AT A PAUSE OR A STANDSTILL.

NO, WE'RE DONE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

NO, WE'RE DONE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DO YOU WANT ANY MORE WINE
OR ANYTHING?

I'M GOOD.

THANK YOU.
THANKS FOR COMING IN.

YOU'VE GOT MENUS TUCKED
UNDER YOUR SWEATY ARMS.

OH, GOD.

OH, MY GOD.
OH!

YOU CAN'T TUCK MENUS

UNDER YOUR SWEATY ARMPITS
AND THEN HAND THEM OUT.

YEAH, I HEAR YOU.
MARK, PLEASE!

WHAT IS HE DOING NOW?

HE HAS MENUS
TUCKED UNDER HIS ARMPITS.

GORDON, PLEASE, SEND HIM HOME.
SEND HIM--I DON'T NEED HIM!

HE'S YOUR MEMBER
OF STAFF.

LEAVE!

MARK HAS THESE
VERY, VERY BAD SWEATY ARMPITS,

MARK HAS THESE
VERY, VERY BAD SWEATY ARMPITS,

AND HE PUT THE MENU
UNDER HIS ARM.

HE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.
IT WAS UGLY.

- GO HOME AND CHANGE THAT SHIRT.
- PLEASE, PLEASE.

RUN BACK, OKAY?
RUN BACK.

YOU GOT IT.
YOU GOT IT.
DO SOMETHING.

AS MARK HEADS HOME
TO GET A NEW SHIRT,

BACK AT THE RESTAURANT,
CUSTOMERS ARE LINING UP,

AND GORDON IS ON A MISSION
OF HIS OWN.

- HELLO, SIR.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING?

UM, I'VE GOT A FRIEND
THAT SWEATS A LOT.

I'M LOOKING FOR A REALLY STRONG
ANTIPERSPIRANT.

I'M LOOKING FOR A REALLY STRONG
ANTIPERSPIRANT.

THANK YOU.

AND I'LL TAKE BOTH OF THESE.
THANK YOU, BOSS.

ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.

IT'S A DIFFERENT SHIRT.

IT'S HEAVIER.
I'LL PROBABLY SWEAT MORE.

BUT AT LEAST PEOPLE
WON'T SEE IT

'CAUSE IT'S A DARK SHIRT,
HOPEFULLY.

IF THIS ONE TAKES THE SWEAT,

GORDON WILL PROBABLY
KICK MY.

SORRY.

OKAY, THAT'S NOT BAD.

THANK YOU, SIR.
OKAY.

HEY, QUICK.

SECRET--MADE FOR A LADY,
STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN.

HE'S A FUNNY
LITTLE LIMEY BASTARD.

ALL RIGHT, COME HERE, YOU.
LET'S GO.

I WOULD LIKE TO THINK
YOU'VE LEARNED YOUR LESSON.

LOOK AT ME.

IF HE UNDOES THESE, YES?
YES.

I WANT A GUARANTEE
THAT YOU'LL RUN YOUR BUSINESS

AND NOT PICK UP THINGS.
YES.

BOB, DO THE HONORS, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.

ARE YOU SURE?
I'M POSITIVE.

DON'T FALL BACK
TO YOUR OLD WAYS.

I WON'T.

THANK YOU,
OFFICER BOB.

LET'S GO.
DEAN, MOVE, HUH?

YES, YES, YES, YES.

COME ON.

NO, NO, NO, AHORITA.

WHEN YOU'RE READY,
I CAN TAKE ANOTHER ORDER.

LET ME KNOW.

ONCE DEAN'S CUFFS ARE RELEASED,

HIS MANAGERIAL SKILLS
ARE PUT TO THE TEST.

NO WAY.

OH, MY GOD.
THAT IS HAIR.

WHAT THE
IS THIS?

MAKE ANOTHER ORDER
OF PENNE.

IT'S GONNA TAKE LONG.

I DON'T KNOW
IF THEY WANT TO WAIT.

DO IT NOW.

I'M WAITING TO BOIL
THIS MAN.

THEN TAKE THE HOT WATER
FROM HERE.

MAN, TAKE IT EASY.
RELAX.

I DON'T WANT
TO TAKE IT EASY.

RELAX.

JUST TAKE IT
OUT OF THERE.

I JUST WANT AURELIO

TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.

I NEEDED TO BE THE BOSS.
I NEEDED TO ACTUALLY DO MY JOB.

I DON'T WANT TO COOK.
I WANT YOU TO COOK!

JUST LISTEN TO ME!

GO TO THE BACK.
DON'T STAY HERE.

I'M GONNA STAY HERE, AND
YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT I'M ASKING.

JUST DO IT.
GO TO THE BACK.

JUST DO IT.
GO TO THE BACK.

GO TO THE BACK.

WHAT A ATTITUDE.

AFTER ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING
DINNER SERVICE

COMES TO AN END...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU.

GORDON TRIES TO MAKE SENSE

OF ONE OF THE MOST BIZARRE
EVENINGS HE'S EVER WITNESSED.

THE GOOD NEWS FIRST.

WITHIN 15 MINUTES
OF ANNOUNCING THE SPECIALS,

THE HALIBUT SOLD OUT.

DEAN, TONIGHT SHOWED
SIGNIFICANT SIGNS,

YEAH, OF BECOMING
A BETTER MANAGER.

YEAH, OF BECOMING
A BETTER MANAGER.

UNFORTUNATELY,
I HAD TO HANDCUFF YOU

IN ORDER TO GET THAT
OUT OF YOU.

YEP.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM STILL
IN THIS RESTAURANT IS THE FOOD.

THE FEEDBACK IS THE FOOD
IS BLAND, BORING,

AND BARELY MEDIOCRE.

TOMORROW WE ARE GONNA RELAUNCH

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT...

AURELIO!

ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES.

IF THERE WERE EVER A RESTAURANT
THAT NEEDED A MAKEOVER,

IT WAS SANTE LA BREA.

AND GORDON'S CREW WORKED THROUGH
THE NIGHT TO PULL IT OFF.

EXCITED?
BIG, BIG, BIG DAY TODAY.

TAKE OFF
YOUR BLINDFOLDS.

NO MORE TACKY,
PLASTIC TABLECLOTHS.

A PROPER, HEALTHY,
VIBRANT, FRESH RESTAURANT.

NO CLUTTER.

YOU TWO, JUST DON'T CLUTTER
THE PLACE UP AGAIN.

I'M NOT TOUCHING--
THIS IS WHAT L. A. WANTS.

THIS MAKES
AN INCREDIBLE STATEMENT.

THEY TOOK WHAT WE HAD, AND THEY
MADE IT BETTER AND SMARTER

AND BEAUTIFUL.

NOW THIS.
OH, MY GOD.

THE MENU--
ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL.

WHEN YOU COME INTO SOMETHING
HEALTHY AND VIBRANT--

WHEN YOU COME INTO SOMETHING

WHEN HE SAW THE NEW MENU.

I'M SO HAPPY
TO SEE MY DAD HAPPY.

IT'S NOT ON THERE.

I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.
YOU DESERVE IT.

AND YOUR SONS
DESERVE IT.
THANK YOU, MAN.

NO QUESTION

I WOULD NEVER, EVER BE ABLE
TO DO IT WITHOUT CHEF RAMSAY.

DEAN'S FEELING THE PRESSURE,

AS MORE AND MORE CUSTOMERS
ARRIVE AT SANTE.

SO PUT THINGS

DON'T DO ANYTHING HERE.

THIS IS NOT GOOD, OKAY?

WHENEVER I SEE THAT,
