TONIGHT ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES REVISITED...
CHEF RAMSAY CHECKS UP ON SOME
OF THE MOST CHALLENGING OWNERS HE'S EVER MET.
THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY.
THEY WERE CLUELESS...
TALKING TO YOU ABOUT FOOD IS LIKE TALKING TO A BRICK WALL.
STUBBORN...
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S FROZEN OR NOT!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S FROZEN OR NOT? NO!
AND OUT OF CONTROL.
SHUT YOUR FACE!
FIRST, CHEF RAMSAY VISITS LA GALLERIA 33
IN BOSTON'S NORTH END WHERE SISTERS RITA AND LISA
HAD LOST A GRIP ON THE RESTAURANT.
HE JUST DROPPED THE CHICKEN ON THE FLOOR
AND PUT IT BACK IN THE PAN.
AND WHERE LISA WAS READY
TO WALK OUT THE DOOR.
YOU WALK OUT, I'M OUT.
NEXT, CHEF RAMSAY VISITS THE OLDE HITCHING POST
IN HANSON, MASSACHUSETTS TO CHECK
ON WHETHER HARD-HEADED OWNER TOM
HAS FULFILLED HIS PROMISE TO HAND OVER THE RESTAURANT
TO HIS DAUGHTER ANDREA.
I'M LEAVING. OKAY.
AND LASTLY HE TRAVELS TO EVERETT, WASHINGTON
TO GET AN UPDATE ON PROHIBITION GASTROPUB,
WHERE OWNER RISHI BROWN SEEMED MORE FOCUS ON HER BELLY DANCING
THAN RUNNING HER RESTAURANT.
YOU ARE KIDDING ME.
GET READY FOR SURPRISING UPDATES...
OH, NO.
AS WE FIND OUT WHICH OWNERS
HAVE STAYED ON THE PATH TO SUCCESS...
GREAT NEWS!
AND WHICH OWNERS ARE BACK ON THE ROAD TO DISASTER.
OH, MY GOD. IT'S HAPPENING! OH, MY GOD.
WHAT IS THAT?
YOU'RE SERVING ROTTEN FOOD.
THEY'RE NOT CRAP, AND THEY'RE DELICIOUS.
THEN WAKE UP! YOU WAKE UP!
SHUT THE PLACE DOWN!
- GET OUT OF HERE! - THAT IS AMAZING.
HOW EMBARRASSING!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
FROM THE FIRST SECOND I LEAVE A RESTAURANT
ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES,
I'M ALWAYS WONDERING HOW THEY'LL FARE.
TONIGHT, WE WILL SEE HOW THE RESTAURANTS I VISITED LAST YEAR
ARE DOING, AND, TRUST ME, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND.
FIRST UP, LA GALLERIA 33 IN BOSTON.
BOSTON'S NORTH END, HOME TO LA GALLERIA 33
AND THESE TWO CRAZY SISTERS.
RITA...
GO TALK TO THE CUSTOMERS.
GO ENTERTAIN THEM WHILE THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE FOOD.
AND LISA. ROSA, GO DO SOMETHING.
THAT'S MY SPOT.
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THEY WERE TROUBLE.
I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS WHAT A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN FEELS LIKE.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE ON HOW TO RUN A RESTAURANT.
I MEAN, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HOW THE STAFF BEHAVED.
ROSA, COULD YOU NOT DO THAT?
THANKS. SHE TOLD ME TO SWEEP.
SHE'S SWEEPING, LISA.
SHE'S SWEEPING IT ON ME, THOUGH!
DON'T SWEEP IT ON MY SISTER, CINDERELLA.
I HATE YOU.
ONCE I MET THESE TWO SISTERS... LISA.
NICE TO MEET YOU. LISA, NICE TO SEE YOU.
I'M RITA. RITA.
I COULD TELL THEY WERE GOING TO BE A HANDFUL.
I THINK HE SAID WATER, SARAH, HONEY.
OH, I'M SORRY. WATER, PLEASE.
NO TO THE WINE. A LITTLE BIT TOO EARLY FOR ME.
WOW.
NEVER TOO EARLY.
IT IS.
LISA LOVES WINE.
SHE LIKES TO DRINK.
I SMOKE, AND SHE DRINKS.
I MEAN, SINCE WE'RE AIRING MY DIRTY LAUNDRY--
OH, I'LL LET AIR HER OWN. CUT THAT OUT.
DON'T SAY THAT SHE DRINKS. LISA'S GREAT.
THEY TOLD ME THEIR PARENTS OWN A RESTAURANT AS WELL.
OH, YOUR MUM AND DAD HAVE A RESTAURANT?
YUP. FIVE DOORS UP. IN BOSTON?
YES. RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
DIAGONALLY.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME?
SAME MENU. I DIDN'T GET IT.
AND RITA'S EX-HUSBAND IS THE CHEF.
SAY THAT AGAIN?
I WAS MARRIED TO HIM.
SOUNDS LIKE A SOAP OPERA.
YES. OH, BOY. OKAY.
IT WAS TIME TO TRY THE FOOD.
I'M SARAH. SARAH, NICE TO SEE YOU, DARLING.
VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.
MY SERVER, SHE DIDN'T HOLD BACK,
AND SHE CERTAINLY WASN'T A FAN OF RITA AND LISA.
THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION AT ALL.
WOW. NOT HERE. NOT IN THE KITCHEN.
NOWHERE. WOW. THAT'S NOT GOOD.
WHY DID SHE SAY THAT?
'CAUSE SHE'S AN IMBECILE.
SKANK.
FROZEN GNOCCHI.
FROZEN MEATBALL.
VEAL PARADISO.
OH, COME ON. WOW.
IT'S LIKE SOMEONE'S THROWN UP ON MY PLATE.
GROSS.
THEY CALL THIS ITALIAN FOOD?
AND THEY WONDER WHY BUSINESS IS DOWN?
THERE'S A MICHELIN CHEF IN HERE RIPPIN' OUR FOOD APART,
AND YOU GUYS ARE GIGGLIN' AWAY, AND I'M ABOUT TO THROW UP.
RITA WAS FREAKING OUT. OH, GOD.
BUT SHE HAD EVERY REASON TO.
LET'S JUST PRAY THAT HE EATS THOSE--
PRAY? WE'RE, LIKE, BEYOND PRAY.
I JUST WANT SOMEBODY TO KILL ME AT THIS POINT.
THIS IS TOO MUCH.
WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR DINNER, I COULDN'T BELIEVE
WHAT I WAS SEEING WHEN I WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR.
RITA WAS ARGUING WITH CUSTOMERS.
THIS IS YOUR PLATE. YES.
I TOOK IT RIGHT FROM THE WAITER.
YEAH. I KNOW IT'S MY PLATE.
AND I STUCK MY FINGER-- HE TRIED IT TOO--
THE ONE THAT SHE HANDED TO ME TO EAT WAS COLD.
THEY'RE ALL HOT.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
THEY WEREN'T HOT TO US.
SO THEY WERE COLD WHEN THEY GOT HERE,
AND THEY GOT HOT WHEN THEY CAME BACK?
I WAS IN ABSOLUTE DISBELIEF.
SHE WAS REALLY ARGUING WITH THEM!
THEY'RE ALL HOT, SO I'M JUST WONDERING--
OH, MY GOD.
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT IT COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE,
I SAW CHEF DOUG DROP A PIECE OF CHICKEN ON THE FLOOR,
THEN PICK IT UP AND COOKED IT.
YOU JUST DROPPED THAT ON THE FLOOR.
YEAH.
YOU CAN'T COOK IT.
YOU JUST DROPPED IT ON THE FLOOR.
I KNOW. BUT WHEN I BROUGHT IT
TO THEIR ATTENTION...
UH, RITA, LISA. HELLO? WHAT?
HE JUST DROPPED THE CHICKEN ON THE FLOOR
AND PUT IT BACK IN THE PAN.
WAIT A MINUTE. THIS ONE HERE.
THESE SISTERS JUST WANTED TO MAKE EXCUSES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DOES, BUT THIS IS DISGUSTING.
BUT HE'S NOT SERVING IT.
WHY ARE YOU WIPING HIS ASS?
I'M NOT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE PORTRAYED
AS A RESTAURANT WHO SERVES CHICKEN
THAT'S BEEN DROPPED ON THE FLOOR.
I TRIED TO STOP HIM FROM DOING IT.
I DON'T KNOW. HE'S NUTS.
OH, ME.
NEXT THING I KNEW, LISA DIDN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED
WITH ANY OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I WAS POINTING OUT.
I GOT TO GET THE OUT OF HERE.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
IT'S RIDICULOUS.
HE'S A DOUCHE BAG. HE DOESN'T WANT TO HELP US.
HE DOESN'T CARE.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
YOU GO, I'M GOING.
I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS.
I DON'T GIVE A WHAT YOU SIGN--
MR. RAMSAY-- LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING--
I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS. YOU WALK OUT, I'M OUT.
- NONE OF YOU GIVE A. - THAT'S.
IF YOU TAKE OFF, I'M GOING AS WELL.
YOU GO, I GO.
LISA FINALLY CAME TO HER SENSES
AND REALIZED SHE NEEDED MY HELP.
I DO GIVE A--
SO, IF YOU GAVE A , THEN YOU'D STAY
AND ACTUALLY SHOW SOME WILLING.
I CAME TO HELP.
OKAY, I'M JUST GONNA HAVE
A GLASS OF WINE.
WE CAN FIX IT. IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
I'M HERE TO HELP. I KNOW.
AND AT TIMES YOU THINK I'M NOT. I'M HERE TO HELP.
NO. I KNOW YOU ARE. I KNOW YOU ARE.
BUT I'M NOT GONNA PUT A BAND-AID ON IT.
A BAND-AID'S NOT GONNA KEEP THIS BUSINESS OPEN.
NO. NO, IT WON'T.
NO.
THE NEXT DAY, I DECIDED FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS
WAS A STAFF MEETING.
FIRST TIME EVER FOR THIS RESTAURANT.
TODAY IS ALL ABOUT MOVING FORWARD AND CHANGING.
BOY, WERE LISA AND RITA READY.
THEY WEREN'T HOLDING BACK.
ROSA, YOU'RE A LITTLE SLOTH.
JOE, WHEN I ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING LIKE WASH A WINDOW,
YOU KNOW THAT HE'S...
MIGUEL, YOU SCRATCH YOUR IN THE DINING ROOM.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME A BAD WAITER, SCRATCHING MY.
COME ON. WOW.
THEY HAD A LOT TO SAY.
THIS IS WHAT I SEE WHEN I WALK IN.
YOU'RE SITTING THERE, SARAH, CHITCHAT AND DRINKIN' COFFEE
AND LOOKIN' MISERABLE. WHOSE FAULT IS THAT AFTER ALL?
YOURS!
NO! IT'S YOURS!
IT IS NOT MY FAULT.
THIS BUSINESS, NUMBER ONE, IS NOT UNDER MY NAME.
IT'S UNDER BOTH OF YOUR NAMES.
THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY.
FINALLY, RITA AND LISA WERE STANDING UP TO THEIR STAFF.
I'M TAKING CONTROL BACK TODAY.
THESE TWO SISTERS WERE NOW COMMITTED TO MOVING FORWARD.
NEXT, I HAD TO TACKLE THE FOOD.
JUST HAVE A LITTLE GATHER OVER THERE.
OH, MY GOD.
- LOOK AT THAT. - THANK GOD.
I INTRODUCED SMALL PLATES... DID YOU TASTE THAT?
IT'S AMAZING, ISN'T IT? OH, MY GOD.
AND MODERNIZED THEIR DINING ROOM.
- RIGHT. - OH, THIS IS SO NICE.
IT'S CLEAN.
OH, MY GOD.
I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE OUR OWN IDENTITY
AS A RESTAURANT NOW.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S US.
I'M EXCITED TO WORK HERE AND BE HERE, AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT WAS TIME FOR THE RE-LAUNCH, AND LISA...
HELLO. HOW ARE YOU?
CAN I HAVE YOUR NAME? MENDOZA.
AND RITA REALLY STEPPED UP.
FIRE TWO SPECIALS, A LARGE GNOCCHI, AND A VEAL OSSOBUCO.
THEY SHOWED SUCH GREAT ENTHUSIASM
BY TAKING CONTROL OF THEIR STAFF.
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, SEND IT OUT.
- YOU READY? - TAKE THIS ONE.
THANK YOU.
MAKING SURE CUSTOMERS WERE HAPPY.
WOW, THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
THIS IS AMAZING.
AND THEIR FOOD WAS EXECUTED PROPERLY.
I THINK THAT'S EVERYTHING.
OKAY. BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
THESE SISTERS ARE TRULY, AND I MEAN TRULY, UNIQUE.
I'LL STAND HERE.
WHAT? WHAT'S THE MATTER?
- YOU HAVE TWO ARMS. - UH-OH..
I HAD SUCH A HARD TIME SAYING GOOD-BYE.
GORDON!
CHEF RAMSAY!
YOU CAN'T GO.
I CANNOT STAY. YOU CAN STAY!
I-- JUST LIKE--
JUST 20 MORE MINUTES.
I CAN'T STAY 20 MORE MINUTES.
JUST ONE OSSOBUCO MORE.
I CAN'T.
COMING UP...
I SEE HIM! OH, COME ON.
CHEF RAMSAY IS BACK IN BOSTON...
LISA? RITA? LISA AND RITA!
- OH, MY GOD. - HOLY.
TO FIND OUT HOW RITA AND LISA ARE DOING.
WANT TO SEE MY MOONSHINE? YOUR MOONSHINE?
HAVE THEY EMBRACED THE CHANGES?
- WOW. - OR HAVE THEY GONE BACK
TO THEIR SLOPPY OLD WAYS?
OH, MY GOD. IT'S HAPPENING!
OH, MY GOD.
OH, WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS HE?
FANTASTIC. THANK YOU.
I'M SWEATIN' LIKE A PIG.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE GORDON.
I'M SO EXCITED.
I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO CONTAIN MYSELF.
I'M GONNA TRY, BUT WE'LL SEE.
RITA. LISA.
I SEE HIM!
OH, COME ON.
MWAH. HOW ARE YOU, DARLING?
ARE YOU WELL? I'M WONDERFUL.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
MWAH. I FOUND HIM.
GOOD TO SEE YOU BOTH. ARE YOU WELL?
I FOUND HIM. I FOUND HIM. YEAH, WE'RE DOING GREAT.
MAN, TRAFFIC'S CRAZY OUT THERE.
I KNOW. SO I HEARD.
IT'S NICE TO BE BACK.
THE PLACE LOOKS AMAZING.
- NICE AND BUSY, WHICH IS NICE. - YEAH.
BEEN BUSY, SO-- WE HAVE BEEN BUSY.
SINCE BEING ON THE SHOW, MOST OF THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN POSITIVE.
THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE BACKLASH
'CAUSE I CALLED CHEF RAMSAY A DOUCHE BAG.
PAT. HOW ARE YOU?
YOU DOING WELL?
OH, GOOD. HAS HE BEEN PROMOTED?
DOES HE HAVE ANOTHER TITLE?
WELL, HE'S GIVEN HIMSELF--
THE OTHER DAY HE WAS TELLING PEOPLE HE WAS THE OWNER.
WHAT ARE YOU HERE?
EVERYTHING.
I'M, LIKE, MANAGER SLASH--
OH, SO YOU'RE THE MANAGER?
RITA? YES?
IS PAT SERIOUS? GENERAL MANAGER?
HE IS THE BUS BOY.
I JUST ASSUME THEIR ROLE.
HE'S THE OWNER NOW?
HE'S THE OWNER.
HONESTLY.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET WITH PAT.
YOU NEED, LIKE, SEVEN SCIENTISTS TO FIGURE HIM OUT.
HEY. HOW ARE YOU, BUD?
YOU WELL? GOOD TO SEE YOU.
YOU GOOD?
YEAH. IS HE WORKING HARD?
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THE HEART HAS.
THE HEART HAS? WHAT? YOU GUYS ARE BACK TOGETHER?
NO, NO. THAT'S AMAZING.
NO, NO, NO, NO. OH, YOU'RE NOT BACK TOGETHER.
THE PASSION FOR THE FOOD. OKAY.
LET'S BEND DOWN TOGETHER
JUST IN CASE THERE'S ANY CHICKEN ON THE FLOOR.
YOU CAN'T COOK IT.
YOU JUST DROPPED IT ON THE FLOOR.
I KNOW.
OH, NO.
THERE'S NO CHICKEN ON THE FLOOR.
NO.
SHE--WHAT IS THAT?
THAT'S ME ON THE FLOOR DRESSED AS A CHICKEN--
WHAT?
SO HE NEVER FORGETS THE FIASCO!
DOUGLAS CAUSED THAT WHOLE FIASCO
WHEN HE DID THAT WHOLE SPIEL WITH THE CHICKEN.
I WAS REALLY MAD, SO I PUT A PICTURE UP ON THE WALL OF ME
DRESSED AS A CHICKEN, THROWN ON THE FLOOR,
SO HE NEVER FORGETS WHAT HE DID.
I THINK IT'S NICE THAT RITA
CAN MAKE LIGHT OF THE SITUATION.
I'M NOT--YOU KNOW, I DON'T-- I WOULDN'T--
I DON'T DRESS UP AS THINGS.
I'LL LEAVE THE DRESSING UP TO RITA.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. EXCELLENT.
RIGHT, LET'S CATCH UP WITH THE TWO GIRLS.
THINGS HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD SINCE CHEF RAMSAY LEFT.
I THINK EVERYBODY'S ATTITUDE HAS CHANGED.
DOUGLAS IS BEING MUCH MORE CREATIVE.
I'M MORE MOTIVATED.
RITA'S STILL RITA, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. FIRST OF ALL, WHO'S IN CHARGE?
WE ARE.
YEAH.
I HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STAFF
'CAUSE IT'S MORE--LIKE, BEFORE THEY DIDN'T REALLY RESPECT US
OR WHAT WE SAID... YEAH.
AND NOW I FEEL LIKE WE'RE LEADERS.
THERE'S ALWAYS HICCUPS--
YOU KNOW, I GOT RID OF ALL THE RIFFRAFF, RIGHT?
TELL ME HOW YOU GOT RID OF THE RIFFRAFF.
I DID THE FIRIN' THING THAT YOU DO WHEN THEY'RE NOT GOOD.
ROTTEN FISH FROM THE HEAD, CUT IT OFF
AND THROW THEM OUT, AND I DID IT.
THAT'S NORMAL IN BUSINESS. I KNOW.
I'M ALMOST NORMAL. AFTER YOU, I'M ALMOST NORMAL.
YOU CANNOT CARRY DEAD WOOD. NO.
OKAY.
THEY WERE LIKE MORE THAN DEAD WOOD.
THEY WERE LIKE A BURNT-DOWN FOREST KIND OF.
OKAY. DON'T FORGET ME, HUH?
- YEAH. NO. - "DON'T FORGET--"
HOW COULD WE FORGET YOU?
YOU'RE POURING THE WATER ON THE TABLE.
HE'S FINE. HE'S FINE.
PAT! HE'S--
I'M AWESOME.
HOW ABOUT A DRINK FOR THE LADIES?
NO.
I DON'T DRINK IN SERVICE ANYMORE.
YOU DON'T DRINK IN SERVICE ANYMORE?
I'M JUST GONNA HAVE A GLASS OF WINE.
UNBELIEVABLE.
THAT'S AMAZING.
YOU CAN HAVE A LITTLE GLASS AFTER SERVICE.
I SMOKE. I SMOKE IN SERVICE.
SHE SMOKES, BUT THAT'S HARD. SHE'S TRYING.
YOU SAID YOU WERE GONNA STOP SMOKING.
SHE SAID I WAS GONNA STOP SMOKIN'.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A VIOLENT HABIT.
I DON'T WANT TO DO IT, BUT--
TALK TO ME ABOUT THE LAST TEN MONTHS.
HOW'S IT BEEN BUSINESS-WISE?
ABOUT 15%.
YEAH. 15%? GREAT.
THAT'S ALL THE BACK BILLS PAID.
MORTGAGE IS CAUGHT UP.
WHEN YOU GREET CUSTOMERS, ARE YOU CHEWING GUM?
NO.
ARE YOU CHEWING GUM?
NO. NO. WHAT IS IT YOU'RE CHEWING?
I SWALLOWED IT.
OH, SO YOU ARE CHEWING GUM?
I WAS CHEWING GUM. AND NOW YOU JUST SWALLOWED IT.
YES.
NOW? AH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'M SORRY, GORDON, FOR STICKIN' MY TONGUE OUT.
HE PROBABLY SAW MY CAVITIES.
HOW ARE YOU TWO WORKING TOGETHER?
ARE YOU ON THE SAME PAGE?
YES. WE WERE ALWAYS ON THE SAME PAGE.
YEAH. LISA MAKES GELATO.
THE STAFF-- SHE'S SO CREATIVE.
AFTER YOU LEFT, ALL THESE JUICES.
YEAH.
AND I CRIED. I SOBBED LIKE A BABY.
I MISSED THE CAMERAS, I MISSED YOU,
SO I GOT IN TROUBLE
'CAUSE I INSTALLED A SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM.
SHE SAID I SPENT MONEY FOOLISHLY.
I HAD TO DO IT.
I WANTED A GELATO MACHINE, AND SHE SAID
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY AT THAT TIME.
BUT I NEEDED CAMERAS. I NEEDED CAMERAS, GORDON.
SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. I NEEDED THE CAMERAS.
SO, NOW I HAVE THIS LITTLE MACHINE--
GELATO MACHINE NOW? YUP.
GOOD. AND I HAVE FOUR CAMERAS.
I WANTED EIGHT. RIGHT.
I SETTLED FOR FOUR 'CAUSE I WANTED TO SHARE.
I HAD THE SURVEILLANCE THING ON MY PHONE.
I COULD FLIP ON MY PHONE AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOIN' ON,
BUT I USED TO DO IT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND SO I--
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T TEXT, AND I'M PRETTY SURE
YOU CAN'T WATCH THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS EITHER.
AND SO YOU'VE GOT THE CAMERAS IN
SO WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE YOU CAN MAINTAIN--
WELL, SOMETIMES I WALK AROUND, AND THEN I GO DOWNSTAIRS,
AND I PLAY IT BACK, AND I WATCH MYSELF,
OR, IF SOMEBODY FALLS, I GO, AND I LOOK AT IT.
I THINK THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS ARE USELESS.
SHE GOES AND REPLAYS STUPID.
LIKE, I FELL ONE TIME IN THE KITCHEN.
SHE'LL GO DOWNSTAIRS AND, LIKE,
WATCH ME FALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
YOU TWO HAVE GOT SUCH A HUGE FAN BASE.
THEY LOVE US. YEAH.
IN LONDON. YOU KNOW WHERE ELSE THEY LOVE US?
FROM PRISON.
YOU'RE HUGE IN PRISON. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
IN PRISONS? IN PRISONS.
RITA'S HAS A STALKER. I HAVE A STALKER.
HE'S WRITTEN HER, LIKE, EIGHT LETTERS.
SERIOUSLY? YES.
HE'S COMIN' OUT IN 26 YEARS.
HE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ME FOR COFFEE.
MINE ARE ALL LIFERS, SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT.
THEY'RE LIFERS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.
YES. YEAH.
I'VE GOTTEN-- A GUY WANTS TO BUY MY SHOES
'CAUSE HE HAS A FOOT FETISH.
MARRIAGE PROPOSALS, BUT I'M ALREADY MARRIED,
SO, I MEAN, UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO SAY NO.
SORRY. WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME?
I'LL QUICKLY GO DOWN TO THE BATHROOM,
AND I'LL COME BACK, HAVE A QUICK BITE TO EAT.
OKAY. SO I'LL GO DOWNSTAIRS.
SHOULD I COME WITH?
NO, YOU'RE NOT COMING TO THE BATHROOM WITH ME.
NO. NOT INTO THE BATHROOM.
NO. EXCUSE ME. I MEAN DOWNSTAIRS.
I'VE GOT TO CHECK SOMETHING OUT FIRST
BEFORE I GO TO THE BATHROOM.
I AM DYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY'VE GOT.
WOW.
LISA. LISA.
RITA? LISA AND RITA.
- OH, MY GOD. - HOLY.
YES!
TWO SECONDS, PLEASE.
YES. RITA OR LISA?
I JUST WANT THE BOTH OF YOU.
BOTH OF US.
OH, MY GOD. IT'S HAPPENING.
OH, MY GOD.
FIRST OF ALL-- SERIOUSLY?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT IS IT?
IT'S NOTHING! IT'S ICE CREAM.
IT'S EMPTY! IT'S EMPTY.
COME ON! WE THREW THE OTHER ONE OUT!
WOW. SO, THIS ONE'S JUST PACKED WITH FROZEN PASTA.
WHAT THE ARE THEY?
THOSE ARE PORCINI RAVIOLI.
OH, MY GOD.
JUST GELATO. THAT'S IT.
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO HAVE SORBET IN THE FREEZER.
YEAH. WE HAVE TO FREEZE THAT.
IS THAT YOUR NEW MACHINE?
THAT'S MY LITTLE MACHINE
I LOVE IT. IT'S SO LITTLE.
THE POOR BASTARD.
I'M SO EXCITED THAT YOU'RE INTO SORBET.
THIS IS FANTASTIC. WANT TO SEE MY MOONSHINE?
YOUR MOONSHINE? YEAH.
WHERE IS IT? OVER HERE.
OH, MY GOD.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE AN ICE CREAM WITH THIS, GORDON.
IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD.
WATCH YOUR NOSE HAIRS.
HOW LONG'S THAT BEEN BREWING IN THERE?
WELL, IT'S GOT A DATE ON THERE.
I DATE-LABEL EVERYTHING 'CAUSE YOU TAUGHT ME.
YEAH.
ARE YOU DRINKIN' THAT-- HELL, NO.
I DON'T DRINK. I DON'T EVEN DRINK THAT DRINK.
ALL THAT WORK!
ARE YOU GONNA PUT THAT INTO THE GELATOS.
YEAH.
IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD. THAT'S THE IDEA.
IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD.
BLOODY HELL.
THIS IS HOW WE'RE GONNA DO IT.
WHEN MY MOONSHINE IS DONE,
I'M GONNA GIVE A SHOT TO PAT,
AND WE'RE GONNA WAIT TWO DAYS.
IF NOTHING HAPPENS TO HIM, LIKE DEATH OR SERIOUS ILLNESS,
LISA WILL THEN TAKE IT AND WORK IT INTO A GELATO,
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I CAN LEGALLY GIVE ANYBODY MOONSHINE.
I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL--
I WAS GONNA SAY AGAIN.
OH,. OH, MY GOD.
I'M DYING FOR YOU TO TASTE THAT.
WOW. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE'S THROWN UP ON MY PLATE.
WOW.
THIS IS DELICIOUS.
MILES APART.
IT'S REALLY GOOD INDEED.
IN TERMS OF YOUR GELATOS, HOW MANY DIFFERENT FLAVORS?
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON? WELL, WE CAN LET YOU TASTE--
I'D LOVE TO TASTE ONE.
I'M GONNA STAY HERE WITH THE CHEF.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
I DON'T EAT 80% OF LISA'S FLAVORED GELATO.
I DON'T LIKE THAT ONE WITH THE FLOWERS IN IT.
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE WITH HONEY. DON'T LIKE THAT.
ALTHOUGH HER GELATO'S REALLY GOOD, THE TEXTURE'S PERFECT,
BUT THOSE FLAVORS JUST-- SO BUSY IN THERE.
OKAY. WE HAVE THE CHOCOLATE ORANGE.
- CHOCOLATE ORANGE. - YEAH. EAT THAT ONE.
THE ANISE.
THE "ANUS."
ANISE.
WHY WOULD SOMEBODY ORDER SOMETHING CALLED "ANUS"?
YOU CAN'T SHOUT, "ANUS SORBET, ANYBODY?"
I'M HUMILIATED BECAUSE SHE SAYS ANUS TO CHEF RAMSAY.
IT'S DISGUSTING TO THINK OF AN ASS IN REFERENCE TO ICE CREAM.
THAT'S GROSS.
THAT'S BLACKBERRY LAVENDER.
SHE SOMETIMES GIVES THEM TO ME TO EAT.
BUT BUT THEN MY MOUTH GOES ON FIRE
'CAUSE SHE COMES UP WITH ALL THESE FLAVORS
INSTEAD OF CHOCOLATE.
SHE HAS A VERY IMMATURE PALATE.
NOT TO MAKE HER, LIKE-- WELL, SHE SMOKES.
HER TASTE BUDS ARE GONE. OH, MY GOD.
WHAT IS THIS? BEAT UP RITA DAY?
AND THIS ONE? THAT'S A--I MEAN, ANISE.
OH, YOU--SHE JUST SAID ANUS.
ANISE.
ANITH. ANITH.
IS THAT IT? ANIS?
ANIS. IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE ANUS.
THAT IS DELICIOUS.
GREAT JOB.
SERIOUSLY. I AM SO IMPRESSED.
SO AM I. UH-HUH.
BUT YOU'RE NOT LEAVIN' NOW, ARE YOU?
NO?
NO. I HAVE TO GO. NOW? ALREADY?
EVERY TIME GORDON LEAVES, I GET SO SAD.
WE NEED HIM HERE IN BOSTON, 'CAUSE, LET ME TELL YOU,
THERE'S A LOT OF NIGHTMARES HERE.
I AM CERTAINLY NOT THE ONLY ONE.
BYE, MY DARLING.
COME ON. IT'S THAT TIME OF DAY.
AMAZING LUNCH. SO SOON?
I KNOW. I KNOW. I KNOW. I KNOW.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T JUST WALK
INTO OUR LIVES AND LEAVE LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT RIGHT.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. MWAH.
GOOD TO SEE YOU BOTH. YES?
PLEASE?
I SHALL DO.
LOVE YOU. BYE-BYE.
BYE, CHEF. BYE-BYE, NOW.
I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT BOTH LISA AND RITA ARE TWO
OF MY FAVORITE OWNERS I'VE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE
OF WORKING WITH ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES,
AND NOW, DUE TO ALL THEIR EFFORTS, THE GALLERIA 33
IS A STRONG, INDEPENDENT, BRILLIANT RESTAURANT
IN THE NORTH END AND FINALLY SOMETHING WORTHY
OF THEIR PARENTS' LEGACY.
OH, JEEZ. MAN.
HONESTLY.
HE'S GONNA CHECK UP ON US AGAIN.
YOU CAN'T LEAVE US FOR TOO LONG WITHOUT CHECKIN' UP ON US
BECAUSE THEN THINGS-- HE'LL BE BACK.
COMING UP, CHEF RAMSAY HEADS BACK
TO THE OLDE HITCHING POST.
SHELLFISH IS SOMETHING YOU NEVER FREEZE!
WHERE A FATHER HAD A HARD TIME
GIVING UP CONTROL TO HIS DAUGHTER.
YOU NO READY TO TAKE OVER.
FIND OUT WHAT STARTLES CHEF RAMSAY.
I'M GONNA DO THE COOKING THIS TIME..
AS SOON AS HE WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR.
TOM! COME BACK!
HANSON, MASSACHUSETTS.
HOME TO ONE OF THE MOST STUBBORN OWNERS
I'VE EVER MET, TOM KESSARIS.
THE BEEF TIPS, PEOPLE DON'T LOVE 'EM.
DON'T TELL ME THAT.
THIS MAN PURCHASED THE RESTAURANT,
CALLED THE OLDE HITCHING POST, FOR HIS DAUGHTER ANDREA.
GOOD AFTERNOON. OLDE HITCHING POST.
BUT HAD NO INTENTION OF EVER GIVING IT TO HER.
YOU GOT TO MAKE SURE--
JANICE IS IN THE FRONT TONIGHT.
BUT I WANT YOU TO BE THERE TOO.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU GO? BECAUSE NO, YOU!
FROM THE BEGINNING I COULD ALREADY TELL THAT TOM AND ANDREA
WERE ON TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PAGES.
WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU, ANDREA, YOU NO READY TO TAKE OVER.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
DEFINITELY NOT A NICE SITUATION,
AND SITTING IN THAT DRAB DINING ROOM
DIDN'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER.
I KNOW WE'RE IN THE AREA OF CRANBERRY, BUT, MY GOD,
FROM NAPKINS TO THE WALLS IT'S CRANBERRY O.D.
THEN I MET MY SERVER CARLA.
OH, CARLA.
WHEN WAS THIS ONE MADE?
THIS WAS MADE TODAY.
SHE LIED TO ME.
SHE TOLD ME THE FOOD WAS FRESH.
DRY. HORRIBLE TEXTURE.
ARE YOU SURE THAT WAS MADE TODAY, DARLING?
IT WAS NOT, CHEF.
IT'S FROZEN. IT'S FROZEN.
YES, FROZEN. CARLA, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
BUT I WASN'T GONNA GET MAD AT HER.
I MEAN, LOOK AT IT.
IT WAS TOM WHO WAS LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD.
HE THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, AND, ON TOP OF THAT,
HE THOUGHT I WAS GONNA LOVE HIS FOOD.
I THOUGHT YOU GONNA LOVE MY MEATLOAF,
REGARDLESS IF IT WAS FROZEN.
YOU THOUGHT LIKE THAT? I REALLY DID.
IT'S AN INSULT TO AMERICA!
IN THIS AREA, THAT'S WHAT THEY LOVE.
TOM WAS REFUSING TO SEE THE PROBLEMS,
EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE STARING HIM IN THE FACE,
AND, ON TOP OF THAT, HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME OR HIS STAFF.
WE TALKED ALL THE TIME THAT THE FOOD'S NOT THAT GOOD.
DID YOU TELL HIM TO CHANGE?
YOU DON'T LET HIM CHANGE THINGS.
I NEVER ALLOW HIM-- WE TRY TAKING THINGS--
I NEVER ALLOWED HIM NOT TO CHANGE ANYTHING.
HE SAYS HE TRIES TO--
WHEN DID I TELL YOU NOT TO CHANGE?
I'VE TRIED TO TAKE THINGS-- COME ON, THEN.
PIECE OF.
SO, I KNEW DINNER SERVICE WOULD BE A CHALLENGE,
BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT TOM TO TELL ME
THAT HIS FROZEN SCALLOPS SMELLED OCEAN FRESH.
JUST SMELL INSIDE THERE.
SMELLS BEAUTIFUL. OCEAN FRESH.
I'VE NEVER HEARD OR SEEN THAT ADVERTISED BEFORE.
RULE NUMBER ONE
WHEN STUDYING TO BE A CHEF--
FRESH FOOD DOESN'T SMELL OR TASTE BETTER
ONCE IT'S FROZEN!
HERE YOU ARE LECTURING ME
THAT THAT THING IS FRESH!
IT WASN'T JUST ME.
TOM'S DAUGHTER ANDREA
COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT SHE WAS SEEING EITHER.
OH, MY GOD.
AND SHE KNEW HER DAD NEEDED TO CHANGE.
I WANT THIS BUSINESS, BUT I WANT IT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY,
AND MY FEAR IS THAT, BY THE TIME IT COMES TO ME,
WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH IT? THERE'S NOTHING TO HAVE.
AFTER TOM REALIZED THAT HE SHOULDN'T SERVE FROZEN FOOD,
HE THEN CAME TO ME, OPEN WITH THE IDEA OF CHANGE.
YOU GOT MY SUPPORT 100%.
I WANT TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.
WE HAVE TO CHANGE.
IMMEDIATELY, AND I TRUST YOU.
MM-HMM. I NEED YOUR HELP.
LET'S GET TOGETHER.
IT WAS A SHOCKING TURNAROUND
FROM SUCH A STUBBORN MAN.
KNOW WHAT? I WAS BLIND ALL THIS TIME.
NOW THAT TOM HAD REALIZED WHAT HE WAS DOING WRONG,
IT WAS TIME TO GET TO WORK.
REMEMBER THOSE DREADFUL CRANBERRY WALLS?
I GOT RID OF THEM IMMEDIATELY.
WOW.
OH, MY GOD.
ARE WE IN OZ?
STAY WITH ME.
STAY WITH--
STAY WITH ME.
FINALLY, TOM AND ANDREA WERE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT SOMETHING.
LIKE IT, DAD? I LOVE IT.
IT WAS TIME TO RE-LAUNCH THE RESTAURANT.
I PUT ANDREA IN CHARGE...
TABLE 23. TWO CLAM CHOWDERS,
CAESAR, AND A WEDGE SALAD.
AND IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE SUCCESS.
UP. GOT IT?
CARLA, PICK UP. 29.
ANDREA, SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU CAN DO, HONEY.
TOM COULD SEE HOW ANDREA WAS READY TO RUN
THE OLDE HITCHING POST ON HER OWN.
I'M LEAVING. OKAY.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
I WANT YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL,
AND YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS BE NEXT TO YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU NEED.
I KNOW.
SO, GO OUT THERE, GIRL, AND GET 'EM.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT?
I LOVE YOU, DAD. I LOVE YOU TOO, HONEY.
TO BE HONEST, I NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD GET HERE.
GETTING THE OKAY FROM MY DAD TO STEP UP AND BE IN CHARGE,
IT'S AMAZING.
WELL DONE TO YOU ALL.
THANKS, DAD. THANK YOU.
I'M BACK AT THE OLDE HITCHING POST WHERE I MET
A VERY STUBBORN OWNER, TOM,
WHO BOUGHT A RESTAURANT FOR HIS DAUGHTER.
EVEN AFTER SEVEN YEARS,
HE WASN'T READY TO HAND HER CONTROL,
BUT I WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE HIM THAT SHE WAS MORE THAN CAPABLE
AND DEFINITELY READY TO RUN THE RESTAURANT ON HER OWN.
I'M JUST HOPING HE STUCK TO HIS WORD.
LAST YEAR, WHEN I CAME TO THE OLDE HITCHING POST, TOM,
THE OWNER, WAS RUNNING HIS RESTAURANT LIKE A TYRANT
AND RUNNING THE BUSINESS AND HIS DAUGHTER INTO THE GROUND.
AFTER MUCH CONVINCING, HE FINALLY HANDED OVER THE CONTROL
TO HIS DAUGHTER ANDREA.
I'M HOPING THAT IS STILL THE CASE.
THAT COLOR. BEAUTIFUL.
CHEF. HELLO.
HOW ARE YOU?
I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK.
IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
YOU LOOK GREAT. THANK YOU.
THE COLOR OF THIS BUILDING, IT IS SO INVITING.
IT'S CALLED "SHOWSTOPPER RED." WHO'S IDEA WAS THAT?
MY CHANGE. MY IDEA. AND WHERE IS TOM?
YOU'RE NOT GONNA FIND HIM IN HERE.
TOM HAS NEVER LEFT THE BUILDING,
AND HE'S NOT HERE ANYWHERE? NO.
WOW. THAT IS GREAT NEWS.
MY DAD HAS LEFT. HE'S DEFINITELY OUT OF THE BUILDING.
TOOK A LONG TIME, BUT MY FATHER FINALLY TRUSTS THAT I KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING, AND DAD IS OFFICIALLY GONE.
THAT PIVOTAL MOMENT WHEN THAT TRANSITION TOOK PLACE,
WHEN WAS THAT?
IT TOOK HIM A LONG TIME TO REALIZE THAT.
IT'S BEEN--WE'RE ON MONTH FOUR NOW OF COMPLETELY BEING
ON OUR OWN AND RUNNING THE SHOW.
ON MOST PARTS, MY HANDS ARE TIED.
JUST--HE'S HAVING A HARD TIME BACKING DOWN.
YOU'RE RUNNING THE BUSINESS? RUN EVERYTHING.
WOW. FINANCIALS, EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING GOT TURNED OVER INTO MY NAME.
SO, WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED, THE BUSINESS WAS LOSING MONEY,
AND WHERE ARE WE NOW? WE PAY ALL OF OUR BILLS.
EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF.
THAT'S FANTASTIC.
YEAH. WHERE IS TOM?
TOM IS ACTUALLY NEXT DOOR WITH MY DAUGHTER.
HE'S NEXT DOOR. YEAH.
BABYSITTING? YEAH.
WHY DON'T YOU BRING DAD OVER?
YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. BRILLIANT. THANKS, DARLING.
EXCELLENT.
SINCE GORDON LEFT, MY DAD HAS MOVED
ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY.
NOW WHEN I SEE MY DAD ONCE A WEEK,
IT'S FAMILY TIME INSTEAD OF, LIKE, KILL-EACH-OTHER TIME.
TOM!
CHEF RAMSAY. COME HERE.
HI. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
OH, LIKEWISE.
IT'S BEEN A YEAR. GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.
HAVE YOU MISSED ME? VERY MUCH.
THIS YOUNG LADY HAS FINALLY GOT THE REINS.
I WAS A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS ON THE WAY HERE.
I WAS THINKING THAT YOU WERE GONNA PULL BACK CONTROL.
I WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
THANK YOU FOR STANDING TRUE TO YOUR WORD.
WHY DON'T WE GO AND HAVE A CATCH-UP, MAYBE A BITE TO EAT?
ABSOLUTELY. YEAH?
GORDON THOUGHT I WAS VERY STUBBORN PERSON.
HE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME, I WAS GONNA GIVE THE RESTAURANT
TO MY DAUGHTER, BUT I LEFT, AND ANDREA?
SHE LOVES EVERY BIT OF IT.
I THOUGHT I'D WALK IN THE DOOR, YOU'D BE RUNNING AROUND,
SCREAMING AND SHOUTING.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S FROZEN OR NOT!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S FROZEN OR NOT? NO!
BUT YOUR DAUGHTER HAS THE REINS.
SHE HAS 100% CONTROL NOW.
BEFORE YOU SAID THAT ANDREA WOULDN'T LAST ANY LONGER
THAN THREE MONTHS ON HER OWN.
BUT WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU, ANDREA,
YOU NO READY TO TAKE OVER.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
HOW YOU FEELING NOW?
I THINK SHE'S GONNA LAST
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
YEAH.
AND SHE LOVES THE BUSINESS.
YEAH. WHEN YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO...
ABSOLUTELY. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG.
YOU, IN GENERAL, I MEAN, YOU LOOK LESS STRESSED
THAN YOU DID LAST TIME.
I'M LOOKIN' FORWARD TO GO BACK
TO BUSINESS VERY, VERY SOON, YOU KNOW?
YEAH. I WANT TO DO THE COOKING THIS TIME.
SO, ARE YOU GONNA BE OPENING A NEW RESTAURANT?
YUP. AND YOU'RE GONNA BE IN THE KITCHEN?
- YUP. - ME.
I KNOW, BUT WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
WILL YOU BE USING FRESH SCALLOPS OR FROZEN?
SHELLFISH IS SOMETHING YOU NEVER FREEZE,
AND NOW HERE YOU ARE LECTURING ME
THAT THAT THING IS FRESH!
100% FRESH, AS ALWAYS.
I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA GET UPSET WITH THIS.
I'LL SAY IT QUIETLY.
DO YOU STILL THINK THE FROZEN SCALLOPS
TASTE BETTER THAN FRESH? ABSOLUTELY.
HELL.
NO. FRESH AS ALWAYS.
YEAH.
EXCUSE ME.
CHEF RAMSAY, WELCOME TO THE HITCHING POST.
WELCOME. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
TOM, LET'S CATCH UP LATER.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY?
GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
LIKEWISE. THANK YOU FOR COMING.
THANK YOU. YES.
EXCELLENT. SIT DOWN, PLEASE. YES.
SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK. DARLING.
CHEF RAMSAY. SIT DOWN.
THIS IS A QUICK CATCH-UP. YUP.
FIRST OF ALL, LADIES, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
YOU AS WELL.
TOM HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.
TOM IS GONE. GREAT NEWS!
IT REALLY IS. YEAH.
FANTASTIC. YES.
AND, ANDREA, TELL ME ABOUT HER PERFORMANCE.
I'M SO PROUD OF HER. SHE HAS STEPPED UP.
SERIOUSLY. WOW.
BIG DIFFERENCE THAT I SEE
IS SHE'S MANAGING THE BUSINESS.
YES. IN THE PAST,
THE WHOLE BUSINESS WAS IN TOM'S HEAD.
MM-HMM. TOM RUNS A BUSINESS HIS WAY,
AND HE'S NOT OPEN TO ALTERNATIVE IDEAS.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO COMING TO WORK. MM-HMM.
THAT'S NICE, AND THE MEATLOAF IS FLYING OUT THE WINDOW.
IT'S FRESH. IT'S FRESH.
DELICIOUS. NOT LYING TO MY CUSTOMERS.
OH, MEATLOAF. WHEN WAS THIS ONE MADE?
THIS WAS MADE TODAY.
ARE YOU SURE THAT WAS MADE TODAY, DARLING?
IT WAS NOT, CHEF.
IT'S FROZEN. YES. IT'S FROZEN.
FROZEN. CARLA, WHY YOU DOING THIS TO ME?
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
- NO FIBS TODAY. - NO FIBS TODAY.
I PROMISE YOU IT'S FRESH. YOU PROMISE ME?
I, CARLA, SWEAR THE FOOD HERE
AT THE OLDE HITCHING POST RESTAURANT IS FRESH.
FRESH. THE FEEDBACK IS EXCELLENT.
FOOD, EVERYTHING. RIGHT.
GREAT. IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU BOTH.
YOU TOO. HONESTLY.
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BACK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'D LIE A LOT TO MY CUSTOMERS.
"EVERYTHING WAS FRESH," I WAS TOLD TO SAY.
NOW WE CAN BE HONEST.
THE MEATLOAF HERE IS FRESH.
IT'S NOT LIKE THOSE GREEK MARACAS.
I WANT YOU TO LOVE MY MEATLOAF.
YEAH.
YOU HEAR THE LITTLE MARACAS?
HI, CHEF.
OUR NEW HOUSE FAVORITE, FRESH MEATLOAF.
OH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
SO, MEATLOAF. WOW.
I MEAN, PRESENTATION, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
SO, HOW IRONIC IS THAT?
DAD'S GONE TO CHANGE THE DIAPER...
YOU'RE RUNNING THE BUSINESS.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.
I MEAN, SOMETHING THAT DEFINITELY MAKES YOU WANT
TO GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE.
HOW IS THAT MEATLOAF?
IT TASTES LIKE A TV DINNER
THAT I GIVE MY THREE-YEAR-OLD.
YEAH. THAT'S BEING POLITE.
PRETTY AMAZING. THAT WAS MY BIGGEST THING,
IS JUST GIVE PEOPLE REALLY GOOD FOOD
SO THAT THEY WANT TO COME BACK ALL THE TIME.
WELL, YOU'VE GOT GREAT FOOD. WE DO.
AND A GREAT BUILDING. MM-HMM.
WITH A GREAT OWNER. THANK YOU.
I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU CAME BACK.
HAVING CHEF RAMSAY
COME IN HERE AGAIN AND GIVE US HIS APPROVAL
WAS LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, AND IT JUST GAVE ME THE POWER
AND THE WILL TO WANT TO DO MORE.
FIRST OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS,
YEAH? WELL DONE.
THANK YOU. AND KEEP IT UP.
COME HERE, YOU. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.
YOU GREEK GOD, YOU.
HONESTLY. YOU'RE STRONG AS AN OX.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW RESTAURANT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND IT WAS MY PLEASURE MEETING YOU.
TAKE CARE. YES.
BYE NOW. THANK YOU.
I ALWAYS KNEW THAT ANDREA HAD IT IN HER TO RUN
THE OLDE HITCHING POST, BUT I'M MORE THRILLED
THAT TOM ACTUALLY LET HER TAKE OVER AND RUN THE BUSINESS.
NOW SHE'S PROVEN SHE'S A GREAT OWNER BY MAKING A BIG SUCCESS
OF THIS AMAZING RESTAURANT, AND SHE'S EVEN MADE HER FATHER
SO PROUD TOO, SO GOOD ON HER.
COMING UP, CHEF RAMSAY HEADS BACK TO CHECK IN
ON PROHIBITION GASTROPUB. UH, WHERE'S RISHI?
AND TO SEE WHAT OWNER RISHI HAS BEEN UP TO.
- OH, NO. - BUT WHAT HE SEES...
GONNA BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
MAY HAVE HIM WISHING HE HAD NEVER GONE BACK.
OH, NO. I'M GOING.
EVERETT, WASHINGTON--
HOME TO THE PROHIBITION GRILLE AND BELLY DANCER...
RISHI BROWN, WHO WAS VERY KEEN TO SHOW US ALL HER MOVES.
UNFORTUNATELY, NOT IN A GOOD WAY.
UM, HAVE YOU JUST BEEN TO A PARTY, OR--
NO. I JUST GOT ALL DRESSED UP JUST FOR YOU TODAY.
OH, SO YOU JUST--YOU DON'T DRESS LIKE THAT NORMALLY?
NO, I DO DRESS LIKE THIS NORMALLY.
OH, YOU DO DRESS LIKE THAT NORMALLY?
YEAH. WOW.
I WAS HOPIN' SHE PAID AS MUCH ATTENTION
TO HER FOOD AS SHE DID HER OUTFIT.
WHAT'S THE SOUP OF THE DAY?
THE SOUP OF THE DAY IS JALAPENO CORN CHOWDER.
MM-HMM. WHAT WAS IT YESTERDAY?
JALAPENO CORN CHOWDER.
OH, SO SOUP EVERY TWO DAYS?
AND LAST WEEK.
OH, SO SOUP OF THE WEEK. IT'S SOUP OF THE WEEK.
I QUICKLY LEARNT THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW
THE DEFINITION OF "SOUP OF THE DAY."
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
"SOUP OF THE DAY" MEANS A DAILY CHANGING SOUP.
OH.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT "SOUP OF THE DAY" MEANT.
I THOUGHT THAT JUST MEANT WHAT SOUP WE WERE SERVING THAT DAY.
WOW.
YEAH. THAT WAS LAME.
SOUP OF THE DAY.
A NEW SOUP EVERY DAY.
OKAY. I'M GOING TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THAT.
WOW.
AT THAT POINT I COULD HAVE LEFT THERE AND THEN.
I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW CLUELESS SHE WAS.
I'M NOT THAT STUPID.
IT'S JUST THAT'S WHAT I UNDERSTOOD THAT MEANT.
THE FRIGHTENING THING WAS THAT RISHI DIDN'T THINK
THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. BUT I LIKED IT.
I THOUGHT IT LOOKED NICE AND KIND OF UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT.
THEN AGAIN, SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SOUP OF THE DAY WAS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!
I LIKE THE FOOD. I THINK THE FOOD IS GREAT HERE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHY SHE WASN'T LISTENING TO ME.
I WANTED TO SEE DINNER SERVICE IN ACTION.
I KNEW I WAS IN FOR A SHOW, BUT, TRUST ME,
NOT THAT KIND OF A SHOW.
YOU ARE KIDDING ME.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I AM NOT JOKING, YO.
CLOSE THE DOORS. IT'S PUTTING ME OFF MY DINNER.
ME.
IT WASN'T JUST A BELLY FLOP IN THE DINING ROOM.
OH, MY GOD.
IT WAS IN THE KITCHEN AS WELL.
LOOK AT THAT.
DRY AS ANYTHING.
THEIR MEAT'S, COOKED AND RAW, ON THE SAME SHELF.
RULE NUMBER ONE-- CROSS-CONTAMINATION.
EXPLAIN TO RISHI.
NEVER STORE A COOKED PRODUCT NEXT TO A RAW PRODUCT.
WHAT IS THIS, GUYS?
- OH, MY GOD. - IT'S TROUT.
WHAT IS THAT? NEW TROUT, OLD TROUT.
AND THAT THERE IS THE FRESH ONE UNDERNEATH, RIGHT?
OH, MY GOD.
I COULDN'T LET IT GO ON ANY LONGER.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM SORRY.
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED,
BUT, WHATEVER YOU'RE EATING NOW, JUST STOP.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS. LET'S GO.
RISHI FINALLY STARTED TO SEE THAT THIS PLACE
WAS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
I SHOULD FEEL SORRY FOR YOU. DO YOU KNOW WHY?
YOU'RE BEING USED.
STEP UP. YEAH.
GET A GRIP. YEAH.
'CAUSE TIME, RIGHT NOW, IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.
SO, THE NEXT DAY, RISHI STEPPED UP
AND DECIDED TO MAKE SOME BIG CHANGES.
I DON'T WANT TO BEAT AROUND THE BUSH ABOUT IT.
UNFORTUNATELY I'M LETTING YOU GO.
I'M SORRY.
AFTER SEEING THAT RISHI WAS SERIOUS ABOUT BEING AN OWNER,
I WAS READY TO TURN PROHIBITION GRILLE
INTO EVERETT'S FIRST EVER GASTROPUB.
SO, I TRANSFORMED THE DECOR...
OH, MY GOD.
PROHIBITION GRILLE IS NO LONGER A GRILL.
WELCOME TO YOUR NEW GASTROPUB
DESIGNED A STUNNING MENU...
OH, MY GOD. OH, WOW.
YUM. OH, MY GOD.
THAT WAS AMAZING.
AND GAVE RISHI A NEW LOOK.
WOW, YOU LOOK AMAZING.
THANKS.
I LOVE IT.
AT THE RE-LAUNCH, RISHI PROVED
THAT SHE COULD TAKE CHARGE OF THE RESTAURANT.
FIRE LEFT ONE, PLEASE. LEFT ONE HEARD.
ALL RIGHT, AND THE SALMON FOR YOU, MY DEAR.
THAT BOURBON GLAZE IS FANTASTIC.
GOOD NIGHT, MY DARLING. OKAY.
GOOD NIGHT, CHEF RAMSAY. TAKE CARE.
THANK YOU.
I'M HERE IN EVERETT, WASHINGTON TO CHECK IN
ON THE PROHIBITION GASTROPUB, AND ITS OWNER RISHI.
NOW, LAST TIME I WAS HERE, GASTROPUBS WERE FAIRLY NEW
TO THIS PART OF TOWN, SO IT'LL BE INTERESTING
TO FIND OUT HOW THE LOCALS TOOK TO THE NEW PROHIBITION,
BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, DID RISHI STICK TO HER PROMISE
WITH NO MORE BELLY DANCING?
TIME TO CHECK IN.
LAST YEAR, PROHIBITION GRILLE OWNER RISHI HAD TO BE ONE
OF THE MOST CLUELESS RESTAURATEURS I'VE EVER MET,
AND IT TOOK A LOT OF CONVINCING TO GET HER TO STEP
OUT OF THAT BELLY DANCING COSTUME AND INTO THE ROLE
OF RUNNING HER RESTAURANT, BUT WE DID IT,
AND I'M BACK AND VERY ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW SHE'S DOING.
FINGERS CROSSED.
HI, HOW ARE YOU? HI!
GOOD. HOW ARE YOU? WOW. VERY WELL.
WELCOME BACK TO THE PROHIBITION.
I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK HERE.
YEAH. LOOK AT THIS PLACE.
YEAH. IT'S BEEN GREAT.
IT LOOKS GORGEOUS.
UH, WHERE'S RISHI?
OH, NO. IS THAT THE MUSIC?
THAT'S THE-- YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
OH, NO.
SHE PROMISED ME NO MORE--
GORDON, I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU!
YOU--YOU PRO--
JUST KIDDING, CHEF RAMSAY.
YOU ARE SO BAD.
I WAS SO EXCITED, AND THEN I GOT REALLY NERVOUS.
I KNOW. I'M SORRY, GORDON.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
OH, GOSH. I'M SORRY.
YOU LOOK GREAT. THE RESTAURANT'S BUSY.
THANK YOU, CHEF RAMSAY. AND YOU LOOK LIKE AN OWNER.
THANK YOU.
SMART AND... OKAY. HEY.
TUCKED AWAY. YOU LOOK GREAT.
ALL RIGHT. GOOD. THAT LOOKS AMAZING.
THANK YOU. IN GENERAL, HOW'S BUSINESS?
LITTLE BY LITTLE, IT'S CATCHING ON FIRE.
LET'S GO AND CATCH UP, SHALL WE?
SOMEWHERE NICE AND QUIET. OKAY.
I'M REALLY SO EXCITED TODAY
BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO SHOW CHEF RAMSAY WHAT I'VE DONE.
I'M NOT THIS CLUELESS, YOU KNOW,
BELLY DANCER-TURNED- RESTAURATEUR.
FIRST OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS.
THE PLACE LOOKS AMAZING. THANK YOU.
NO MORE BELLY DANCING, RIGHT?
NO MORE BELLY DANCING. EXCELLENT.
YES. HOW ARE YOU DOING PERSONALLY?
OH, MY GOSH.
WELL, I'M GONNA TELL YOU, I'VE BEEN WORKING
AROUND THE CLOCK HERE SINCE YOU LEFT.
NOW I'M TOTALLY AN OWNER HERE.
RIGHT.
I'M INVOLVED IN WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY KITCHEN.
YEAH. I'M INVOLVED IN THE ORDERING.
I MEAN, MY CONSULTING CHEF MARQUETTA SHRECK,
SHE'S SPECTACULAR.
IT'S CHANGED MY LIFE. IT'S AWESOME.
I'M SO PLEASED TO HEAR BECAUSE YOU WERE SO DISTANT...
OH, MY GOD. YOU HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING IN THERE.
I HAD NO IDEA.
YOU ARE CLOSER TO THE BUSINESS THAN EVER BEFORE.
OH, THERE'S NO COMPARISON... WOW. WOW. WOW.
CHEF RAMSAY. RIGHT. I'M GONNA QUIZ YOU.
OH, GOSH. OKAY.
FIRST QUESTION, WHAT'S THE SOUP OF THE DAY?
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT "SOUP OF THE DAY" MEANT.
IT'S A SOUP MADE FRESH DAILY.
AND WHAT DOES THE WORD "FRESH? MEAN?
"FRESH" MEANS--
I THOUGHT FRESH MEANS THAT IT'S NOT FROZEN.
FOOD AT THE PEAK OF ITS LIFE.
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO ME.
FOOD THAT IS BEAUTIFUL, VIBRANT.
HOW DO YOU GROW OYSTERS?
OH, MY GOODNESS.
YOU DON'T MAKE AN OYSTER. YOU JUST OPEN THEM.
HUH?
YES. IN THE SHELL.
WE GROW THEM IN THE SHELL IN THE OCEAN.
AND WHAT'S THE SECRET OF A GOOD BELLY DANCE?
YOU HAVE A GREAT SHIMMY AND UNDULATION
THAT WORK WELL TOGETHER.
THAT'S UNDULATING.
WHERE DOES BELLY DANCING BELONG?
IN APPROPRIATE VENUES.
BRILLIANT. NOT AT WORK.
YOU'RE KEEPING YOUR BELLY SEPARATE FROM YOUR BUSINESS.
ABSOLUTELY.
I'M SO PLEASED TO HEAR THAT. DO YOU KNOW THAT?
THANKS, CHEF RAMSAY.
BEFORE I MAY HAVE BEEN THAT NAIVE OWNER.
NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE. HE CAN QUIZ ME ALL HE WANTS.
I GOT THE ANSWERS.
HI, MY DARLING. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU. LIKEWISE.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO. HOW'S IT GOING?
OH, IT'S GOING VERY WELL. THANK YOU.
HAS THIS LADY BEEN DEMANDING ON ENFORCING HIGH STANDARDS
WITH HER TEAM? SHE'S A FORCE IN THE KITCHEN.
THAT'S FOR SURE. GREAT.
YOU ARE SERIOUS.
I EVEN DO A PREP SHIFT HERE A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK.
YOU PREP AS WELL? YES.
I'M IMPRESSED. IT'S A PLEASURE MEETING YOU.
IT WAS GREAT TO MEET YOU TOO.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. WELL DONE.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
MAN, WE GOT TO GO BACK IN THERE.
MY FAVORITE SPOT IN HERE. I KNOW THAT--
CLOSE THE DOOR. IT'S PUTTING ME OFF MY DINNER.
BELLY DANCE?
THAT WAS A BELLY FLOP.
SO, CHEF RAMSAY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE YOU SIT RIGHT HERE...
THANK YOU, MY DARLING.
AND I'M GONNA GO TO THE KITCHEN
AND PREPARE A MEAL FOR YOU.
WOULD THAT BE OKAY?
I CANNOT WAIT.
I HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL THAT I AM COOKING MYSELF FOR YOU.
LAST TIME CHEF RAMSAY WAS HERE HE DIDN'T LIKE ANYTHING
ON OUR MENU, AND TODAY I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS,
BUT I FEEL CONFIDENT HE'S GOING TO LOVE HIS LUNCH.
HEY, CHEF RAMSAY.
WOW.
THIS IS OUR I.P.A. BARBEQUED SHRIMP
WITH SPICY SAUSAGE ON CREAMY YELLOW GRITS.
THAT LOOKS AMAZING. WOW.
AND WE HAVE A LITTLE SAMPLE OF THE BRAISED PORK SHOULDER
WITH SPAETZLE AND... WOW.
THE WILD MUSHROOMS.
TAKE A SEAT, DARLING. PLEASE. THANK YOU.
THE CREAMY GRITS IS ONE OF MY SPECIALTIES.
I MAKE THEM EVERY DAY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THE GRITS ARE AMAZING.
OH, THANK YOU.
WOW.
THAT IS DELICIOUS.
I THINK OF THIS, AND IT REALLY DOES STAND OUT
AS A TRUE GASTROPUB DISH.
THANK YOU.
BUT THEN I HAVE THAT LITTLE NIGHTMARE
AND THAT LITTLE FLASHBACK TO THE SALMON.
OH, MY GOD. REMEMBER THE SALMON?
THE PINWHEEL SALMON?
THAT IS DISGUSTING.
I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DISH.
I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN YOU ROLLED IT OUT, AND I WAS LIKE--
BLOOD LINES ON THERE AS WELL.
NASTY.
YOU HAVE REALLY EMBRACED THE CHANGE, HAVEN'T YOU?
OH, MY GOSH.
CHEF RAMSAY, I LOVE IT.
AND TO SEE THAT YOU'VE GOT ONE FOOT IN THE KITCHEN
AND YOU'RE RUNNING THE BUSINESS FROM THE ENGINE ROOM...
YEAH. AND IN CONTROL.
I AM SO ENCOURAGED TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT.
COME WITH ME.
I'VE GOT A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU.
CHEF RAMSAY REALLY HELPED ME TO QUICKLY UNDERSTAND
THAT CHANGE NEEDED TO OCCUR.
IS MY MAKEUP ALL SMEARED?
NO. ARE YOU SURE?
YEAH. I'M SURE.
IT LOOKS AMAZING.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'M SO SORRY FOR INTERRUPTING,
BUT I'M SO EXCITED TO BE BACK HERE
BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS AMAZING, THANKS TO THIS LADY HERE.
GREAT JOB.
THANKS, CHEF RAMSAY. AMAZING.
I WOULD LIKE TO JUST INTRODUCE YOU TO A VERY SPECIAL GUEST.
PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME FOR THE MAYOR OF EVERETT,
RAY STEPHANSON.
SIR, THANK YOU.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANK YOU.
HEY, DEAR. HI, RAY.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
OH, THIS IS SO MEANINGFUL.
NOW, I KNOW RAY HAS A FEW WORDS TO SAY TO YOU...
I DO. AND YOUR TEAM, SO...

OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING MOMENT OF MY LIFE.
GOOD JOB.
THANKS, CHEF RAMSAY.
I LOVE YOU, AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING.
I'M GONNA COME BACK.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, DARLING. TAKE CARE. BYE, GUYS.
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. BYE, CHEF RAMSAY.
BYE-BYE.
HE'S SO HANDSOME.
WOW. WHAT A SUCCESS.
RISHI HAS REALLY IMPRESSED ME,
AND IT'S SO NICE TO SEE HER GO
FROM A COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS OWNER TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOW
IN CONTROL OF HER RESTAURANT, BIG TIME,
AND IT'S SO NICE TO SEE THE TOWN OF EVERETT
EMBRACING A TRUE GASTROPUB.
LONG MAY IT CONTINUE.
THANK GOD NO MORE DANCING.
