HOME TO THOUSANDS OF RESTAURANTS.
THE MOST COMPETITIVE CITY IN THE WORLD.
BUT THERE'S ONE RESTAURANT THAT NEEDS MY HELP
MORE THAN ANY OTHER,
AND IT'S RIGHT DOWN THERE.
TONIGHT ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES,
NEW YORK CITY MAY BE THE MECCA OF FINE DINING,
BUT IN THE HEART OF MANHATTAN
IS A RESTAURANT IN SUCH BAD SHAPE,
IT MAY PROVE TO BE GORDON'S BIGGEST CHALLENGE YET.
OH, MY GOD!
DILLONS, AN INDIAN EATERY,
IS NOT ON THE VERGE OF DISASTER...
WHAT DO WE NEED, A DEATH IN THE RESTAURANT
BEFORE SOME GETS A GRIP?
IT'S ALREADY THERE.
IT'S ROTTEN, MY MAN!
THE MENU IS CONFUSING.
BRITISH, ITALIAN--
THE ONLY THING THAT'S NOT ON HERE IS CHINESE.
THE FOOD IS AWFUL.
GREEN BURGERS KILL PEOPLE!
THERE IS A LANGUAGE BARRIER.
TELL HIM IN YOUR LANGUAGE HE'LL KILL SOMEBODY!
AND AS FAR AS THE CLEANLINESS GOES...
HOLY!
OH, MY GOD!
IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.
AND WHAT MAKES MATTERS WORSE,
THE NUMEROUS MANAGERS DON'T SEEM TO CARE.
I HAVE NOTHING TO BE GUILTY OF.
YOU WHAT?
NO ONE IS GETTING SERVED
ON THIS RESTAURANT TONIGHT.
GET READY TO WITNESS ONE CRAZY WEEK
IN THE LIFE OF GORDON RAMSAY.
THIS IS THE LUCKIEST DAY OF THEIR LIFE, OKAY?
AS HE ATTEMPTS TO TURN AROUND
A MANHATTAN MESS.
CAN YOU GO AND TELL THEM
THAT THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED.
TONIGHT ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES.
YES, LISA. HOW ARE YOU?
WE'RE DILLONS.
THIS IS AN AMERICAN-IRISH RESTAURANT.
WE'VE AN INDIAN-NESS CONNECTED TO IT.
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE
THAT DILLONS HAS LASTED THIS LONG.
OKAY, AND YOU HAD EIGHT PEOPLE LEAVE ON YOU, YES?
WE KIND OF LURCH BETWEEN CATASTROPHE AND DISASTER.
WE STARTED THIS RESTAURANT
BUT THE RESTAURANT IS NOT DOING THAT WELL.
DILLONS, GOOD EVENING, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
WE HIRED MARTIN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BUSINESS.
LA DA DA DA.
I HAVE AN OBJECTIVE.
THE IDEA WAS TO CAPTURE
THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS.
WHAT ARE WE CHOOSING FROM?
WE HAVE BEEF BHUNA.
WHICH MENU?
LAMB CHOPS, SHEPARD'S PIE--
THAT'S THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE.
HAMBURGERS.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE A BIT CONFUSED
AS TO, LIKE, WHAT KIND OF RESTAURANT THIS IS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT EACH MANAGER DOES SPECIFICALLY.
I'M THE GENERAL MANAGER.
I'M THE OPERATIONS MANAGER.
AND I'M THE FLOOR MANAGER HERE.
NOBODY REALLY KNEW KHAN WAS A MANAGER.
HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING HERE.
I DON'T LIKE TO WORK HERE
BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S SO MESSED UP.
I THINK IN AN IDEAL WORLD,
MARTIN WOULD BE AN ONGOING CHARACTER
IN A REALITY TV SERIES.
MARTIN, MARTIN.
THANK YOU.
MY RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE
AN AWFUL LOT OF THINGS.
I MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING RUNS.
IF SOMETHING'S BROKEN, I FIX IT.
I MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S TOILET PAPER
TO WIPE YOUR BUTT WITH.
FREQUENTLY I WILL HAVE TO COOK SOMETHING
BECAUSE THE COOKS WHO MAKE THE INDIAN FOOD--
DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE AMERICAN FOOD.
IF WE GET CUSTOMERS IN HERE,
I WILL WALK UP TO TABLES, SERVE THEM THEIR FOOD,
AND THEY'LL BE SWATTING FLIES AWAY.
IT IS DISGUSTING.
THE KITCHEN'S NOT CLEAN.
THAT PROBLEM HAS BEEN ERADICATED NOW.
I THINK IT HAS.
OH, THERE'S A FLY.
FOR LAST SIX MONTHS,
WE ARE LOSING, LIKE, $20,000 TO $30,000 A MONTH.
I CANNOT CONTINUE LOSING MONEY LIKE THIS.
I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THIS NIGHTMARE.
I'LL DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING,
WHAT GORDON RAMSAY ASKS ME TO DO
TO MAKE THIS PLACE SUCCESSFUL.
IRONICALLY, GORDON'S SUCCESSFUL NEW YORK RESTAURANT
IS ONLY TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THIS KITCHEN NIGHTMARE.
DILLONS WITH A CANOPY ALL TAPED DOWN
AND WHAT THE IS THAT SIGN THERE?
IT'S LIKE A SCOREBOARD.
MORNING. HELLO.
GORDON RAMSAY-- MARTIN, GENERAL MANAGER.
PLEASE SEE DILLONS--
DILLONS INDIAN RESTAURANT.
INDIAN RESTAURANT, YES.
DOESN'T SOUND LIKE AN INDIAN, DOES IT?
DILLONS. NO.
DILLONS--NO.
WHEN I FIRST MET GORDON,
I ASSUMED HE'D BE A FAIRLY INTIMIDATING GUY.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS.
MOHAMMAD, HOW ARE YOU? FINE, THANK YOU.
HELLO. JENNA.
JENNA, NICE TO SEE YOU.
GORDON DEFINITELY HAS A PRESENCE ABOUT HIM.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT
I SHOULD BE TERRIFIED
OR JUST RELAX AND GO WITH EVERYTHING.
THIS IS ANDREW, OPERATIONS MANAGER.
GENERAL MANAGER, OPERATIONS MANAGER.
YES.
I HAVE ONE ROCKY TABLE.
TRUST YOU TO PICK THE WORST TABLE IN THE HOUSE.
LET'S SIT AT THIS TABLE, SHALL WE?
YEAH? OKAY.
GOOD.
UH, MARTIN?
YES.
UM, WITH SUCH A HUGE MENU...
HMM.
AM I RIGHT IN THINKING THERE'S TWO KITCHENS?
THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT CHEFS IN ONE KITCHEN.
THEY WORK ALONGSIDE EACH OTHER.
BRITISH, ITALIAN, BUFFALO--
YES.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S NOT ON HERE IS CHINESE.
ARE YOU NORMALLY THIS BUSY FOR LUNCH?
OH, ACTUALLY IT'S A LITTLE BUSY TODAY.
WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN
BECAUSE THEY SEE AN EMPTY RESTAURANT.
SOMETIMES I DON'T GET A TABLE AT ALL.
FROM THE MAIN MENU,
ASSORTED VEGETARIAN APPETIZERS.
AND THEN FOR MAIN COURSE,
THE LAMB BIRYANI
AND BEEF BHUNA.
FROM THE AMERICAN MENU,
I'LL GO FOR THE SALMON NICOISE.
PLEASE, THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
GOD, I'M LONELY.
I NEED THE APPETIZERS FIRST.
ARE YOU OKAY?
I'M QUITE EXCITED TO SEE THE REACTION.
GOT, LIKE, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT FOOD,
SO IT'S A WIN-WIN SITUATION.
THE WALLS ARE GHASTLY.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN PLASTERED WITH HOSPITAL LINEN.
THAT'S WHERE THE CUSTOMERS GO
AFTER THEY COME OUT OF THIS RESTAURANT.
OF COURSE THERE'S NO SALMON.
WHY WOULD THERE BE SALMON?
WHEN GORDON RAMSAY ORDERED HIS LUNCH,
HE MUST'VE LOOKED IN TO A CRYSTAL BALL
'CAUSE HE ORDERED SOMETHING THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE.
LET ME JUST MAKE SURE
THAT I CAN ORDER SOMETHING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE.
RIGHT.
THERE'S TWO FRITTERS.
THOSE ONES BOTH ARE VEGETABLE.
THEY'RE BOTH VEGETABLE.
YES.
MAY THE LORD ABOVE NOT POISON ME.
AMEN.
IN TERMS OF BEAUTY,
IT'S NOT EXACTLY AN INDIAN CLASSIC, IS IT?
IT LOOKS LIKE A DEHYDRATED TURD.
THERE'S MEAT IN THERE.
UM, THAT ONE'S GOT MEAT IN THERE.
IT'S NOT VEGETARIAN.
TASTES LIKE LAMB.
IF HE WERE A VEGETARIAN,
I WOULD EXPECT A LAWSUIT.
YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME RIGHT NOW.
THE ASSORTED VEGETARIAN APPETIZER PLATE
HAS TO BE VEGETARIAN.
HE JUST HAD A MEAT ONE.
KNOCK ON WOOD, THE WORST IS OVER, RIGHT?
OKAY. THAT'S THE BEEF BHUNA.
BEEF BHUNA.
AND THE LAMB BIRYANI. LAMB BIRYANI.
AND SHE'S BRINGING A PLATE FOR YOU.
THANKS, DARLING.
WOULD YOU, UH...
WOULD YOU MIND GETTING ME A CLEAN ONE, PLEASE?
SORRY.
WHAT THE IS THAT?
IT ALWAYS WORRIES ME WHEN THEY STICK TOMATO ROSES
ON TOP OF FOOD AND THE TOMATO'S ROTTEN.
THAT IS NOT A PIECE OF BEEF
DOES THAT LOOK LIKE A PIECE OF BEEF TO YOU, MY DARLING?
IT'S DRY. IT LOOKS LIKE PORK.
IF THAT'S BEEF,
THEN I WAS BORN IN BANGLADESH.
GOMEZ?
YEAH?
HE SAYS TO TRY THIS. IT'S PORK.
PRETTY SURE IT'S PORK.
THE BEEF?
PORK.
NO.
IT WAS LAMB.
SO NOW IT WAS LAMB.
GORDON DIDN'T SEEM TO ENJOY MUCH OF ANYTHING.
AND THAT'S HOW IT USUALLY GOES WITH CUSTOMERS.
WHERE DO YOU START ON THIS ONE?
THE POTATOES ARE SICK, MARTIN.
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY WERE COOKED
AT LEAST A WEEK AGO.
AND FROZEN SALMON TOO.
ANDREW, THAT'S GOOD.
YOU HAVE COME TO THE RESCUE ONCE AGAIN.
ONE OF THE GREATEST CHEFS IN THE WORLD
WANTS SOMETHING TO EAT,
AND I HAD TO MAKE IT.
THANK YOU.
SO THIS IS FROM THE AMERICAN KITCHEN.
LOOKS LIKE A DOORMAT.
ANOTHER FLY.
UH, IS THIS NORMAL?
UM...
YES, IT IS.
WHO MADE THIS?
UM, I DID.
SO YOU'RE THE OPERATIONS MANAGER.
YES. YOU'RE THE CHEF AS WELL?
YES.
WE HAVEN'T GOT ANY OTHER CHEFS IN THE BACK
THAT CAN COOK THIS FOOD?
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK ANY WESTERN STYLE FOOD.
WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR? YES.
JUST...EAT THAT.
NOT WITH PLEASURE.
PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG
WENT HORRIBLY AND CATASTROPHICALLY WRONG.
OH, GOD!
CALLISTUS? YEAH.
PLEASE TO MEET YOU. GORDON.
TELL HIM IN A REALLY NICE WAY
"YOUR FOOD IS."
THE FOOD WAS BLAND.
OLD-FASHIONED.
I'VE EATEN IT. I DON'T FEEL TOO GOOD.
WHAT HE SAYS IS THAT
THAT LAMB IS PROBABLY THE OLD LAMB.
YOU SERVED ME OLD LAMB?
MADE A MISTAKE?
COMING UP, GORDON'S NIGHTMARES ARE REALIZED,
THAT IS POISON.
AS HE TAKES A LOOK INSIDE THIS KITCHEN.
GREEN BURGERS KILL PEOPLE!
WILL ANDREW AND MARTIN SURVIVE THE NIGHT?
I'VE NEVER MET A GENERAL MANAGER
SO AS YOU.
AND LATER, WHAT FILTH WILL GORDON FIND LURKING BELOW?
OH, MY GOD!
WHAT DO WE NEED, A DEATH IN THE RESTAURANT
BEFORE SOME GETS A GRIP?
THAT'S COMING UP ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES.
AFTER GORDON'S LUNCHTIME FIASCO,
HE NOW TRIES TO UNDERSTAND
HOW THIS RESTAURANT IS MANAGED.
NO, I'M NOT WORTHY OF SPARKLING WATER.
I HAVE TAP WATER HERE.
ARE WE GONNA RESET THIS TABLE?
EENIE MEENIE MINY MOE,
CATCH A MANAGER BY THE TOE.
YOU ARE WHAT? ON THE FLOOR.
YOU'RE THE FLOOR MANAGER.
FLOOR MANAGER. HOLY MACKEREL.
WHEN I CAME TO WORK,
I WAS NERVOUS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME
I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE I HAVE A CHANCE
TO WORK WITH CHEF RAMSAY.
YOU THINK IT'S THAT FUNNY
AND EASY TO DO?
EVERYBODY HERE HATES KHAN.
AND I CAN'T FIRE THE GUY,
BECAUSE HE'S PROTECTED BY MOHAMMAD.
NOW WE HAVE A FLOOR MANAGER,
OPERATIONS MANAGER,
AND GENERAL MANAGER.
I WAS RESTING,
JUST THINKING OF VARIOUS THINGS
I'VE GOT TO SORT OUT.
ONE OF THE WAITRESSES WAS RUBBING MY HAIR.
IT WAS A NATURAL THING.
HOW MANY MANAGERS DOES THIS PLACE NEED?
I FOUND A NEW MANAGER.
WE NOW HAVE A FLOOR MANAGER,
AMONGST THE OPERATION MANAGER
THAT'S MANAGED BY THE GENERAL MANAGER.
THREE MANAGERS AND THEY'RE ALL.
DEAR, OH, DEAR!
WITH A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE STAFF STRUCTURE,
IT'S TIME FOR GORDON TO SEE THE STAFF IN ACTION
AT A DINNER SERVICE.
WELCOME. NICE TO SEE YOU.
ARE YOU STILL LOOKING OVER THE MENU?
THE INDIAN'S VERY GOOD.
WHAT ARE WE CHOOSING FROM? WHICH MENU?
IT'S ALSO BECOMING CLEAR TO GORDON
THAT THE MULTIPLE STYLES OF MENU
IS NOT A POSITIVE, BUT A NEGATIVE.
THANK YOU.
OKAY, READY?
OKAY, FAROUK,
OH, , HOLY MOSES.
OH, DEAR.
ME.
LIFT IT OFF THE FLOOR
AND DON'T PUT IT ON THE FLOOR.
HELLO, MADAM.
FLOOR MANAGER?
OPERATIONS MANAGER?
GENERAL MANAGER?
ANYBODY?
MOHAMMAD, CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO GOMEZ--
YES.
THAT WE'VE GOT TO STOP
PUTTING THINGS ON THE FLOOR.
YES?
IT'S UNHYGIENIC.
UNHYGIENIC AND IT COULD BE DANGEROUS TOO.
IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.
DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR.
IT'S 40 MINUTES INTO THE SERVICE,
AND UNBELIEVABLY NO FOOD HAS LEFT THE KITCHEN.
MY FIRST TABLE STILL HASN'T GOTTEN HER ENTREE.
ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS
KITCHEN CHAOS.
WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?
I'M TAKING OVER EXPEDITING HERE.
- YOU'RE EXPEDITING? - YES.
MOHAMMAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?
YOU'VE GOT THREE MANAGERS, TWO CHEFS,
EIGHT GIRLS OUT AT THE FRONT
AND NO ONE CAN DELEGATE.
OH, MY GOD.
OKAY KIDS--
LET EVERYBODY KNOW.
AND WHEN INFORMATION IS SHOUTED FROM THE KITCHEN,
MARTIN IS BUSY AGAIN.
NOT WITH CUSTOMERS, BUT WITH HIS PHONE.
OH, MY GOD.
OKAY, THAT HAS TO BE READY BEFORE THIS GOES UP.
ULTIMATELY, MARTIN DOESN'T BELONG
IN A LEADERSHIP POSITION.
THIS PLACE IS RUNNING IN CHAOS.
IT'S TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL.
AND THERE NEEDS TO BE LEADERSHIP HERE.
SO WHAT ARE YOU COOKING TONIGHT?
NOTHING.
NOTHING AT ALL?
UH-UH.
GET ME THE GENERAL MANAGER, MARTIN, PLEASE.
ALL RIGHT.
MARTIN!
GORDON RAMSAY WAS REALLY GETTING UNDER MY SKIN.
OKAY, RIGHT.
THIS YOUNG MAN'S HERE.
HE'S STANDING HERE,
AND HE HAS NOTHING TO COOK.
IS THIS HOW YOU RUN A PLACE?
WHY DID IT TAKE ME TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT HE'S STANDING THERE PLAYING WITH RADISHES.
BECAUSE, UM...
YOU'RE BUSY.
AH,.
HE WAS ALLUDING TO MY RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE WAITRESSES.
YOU GET OFF ON IT.
GIRLS STROKING YOUR HAIR.
MASSAGING YOUR EGO.
YOU'RE SUCH A FAKE!
I'M NOT FAKE, I'M JUST--
WHY--WHY ARE YOU SAYING I'M A FAKE?
YOU'VE GOT MEMBERS OF YOUR TEAM
STANDING HERE GETTING PAID,
DOING ALL.
I'VE NEVER MET A GENERAL MANAGER
SO AS YOU!
OH, OKAY.
IF THIS WAS YOUR MONEY,
WOULD YOU LET HIM STAND HERE PLAYING WITH HIS?
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE DOING HERE, ISN'T IT?
YOU'RE RIDING MOHAMMAD.
YOU'RE SKINNING THAT POOR MAN.
YES, YOU ARE.
YOU'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A WEAK RICH MAN.
THAT'S WHAT JUST CLICKED IN MY MIND.
HE GOT PERSONAL.
HE WAS ACCUSING ME OF RIDING MOHAMMAD.
THIS TYPE OF THING.
AND THAT GOT ME,
BECAUSE HOW THE HELL
HAVE YOU GOT THE RIGHT TO SAY SOMETHING TO ME.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME.
WE GOT MORE STAFF THAN CUSTOMERS TONIGHT
AND WE STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT.
GENERAL MANAGER.
GENERAL TOSS POT.
WHAT IS GOING ON BACK THERE?
AN HOUR AND A HALF INTO DINNER SERVICE,
AND ONLY A FEW DISHES HAVE MADE THEIR WAY TO CUSTOMERS,
WHO ARE NOT EXACTLY THRILLED
WITH DILLONS DINING EXPERIENCE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND THOSE WHO HAVEN'T RECEIVED FOOD
ARE GETTING READY TO LEAVE.
IN TWO MINUTES, WE'RE LEAVING.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE ASKED--
SERIOUSLY, TWO MINUTES WE'RE LEAVING.
WHAT ELSE I CAN DO FOR YOU RIGHT NOW
SO THAT WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY?
YOU TELL ME.
I'M SORRY, LADIES.
I CAN DISCOUNT YOUR BILL AND YOU CAN GO.
IT'S DAY TWO AND GORDON
HAS ALREADY BEEN APPALLED BY THE FOOD
AND DISMAYED BY THE INADEQUATE MANAGEMENT.
TIME TO DO THE THING I'VE BEEN DREADING MOST, YEAH?
GETTING INTO THE KITCHEN.
I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS PART.
WHEN WERE THESE CHANGED LAST?
UM, THAT ONE...
WELL, AT LEAST THE FLIES LOOK FRESH.
OH, MY GOD.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IS THE FLIES.
THERE IS A LOT OF FLIES HERE.
WHAT IS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
YOU DON'T KNOW.
MOLDY.
THAT IS QUITE FRANKLY THE WORST HAMBURGER
I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
OH, MY GOD.
THESE WERE MY POTATOES FOR LUNCH.
DO ME A FAVOR.
YES.
EAT THAT.
THANK GOD I SAT THE LITTLE DOWN
TO EAT THEM.
THAT'S NOT A POTATO.
GREEN CHICKEN.
WHAT'S THAT SMELL?
FOR GOD'S SAKE!
LOOK AT THAT!
LOOK!
COCKROACHES!
HOLY!
OH, MY GOD!
THAT IS THE WORST HAMBURGER
I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
HAVING DISCOVERED THE TERRIBLE CONDITIONS
IN THE KITCHEN,
GORDON NOW VENTURES DOWN TO THE BASEMENT
OF THE RESTAURANT
TO CHECK OUT WHAT'S LURKING BELOW.
WHAT'S THAT SMELL?
WHAT?
WHAT IS THAT?
IS THAT FOR RATS OR MICE?
SO WE HAVE GOT RATS HERE.
THERE'S RAT DROPPINGS.
LOOK AT THEM ALL! EVERYWHERE!
RATS. RATS.
OH, MY GOOD GOD.
LOOK AT THE COCKROACHES.
OH, MY GOD--LOOK.
I'VE GOT ONE IN MY HAIR.
IT'S COCKROACHES.
BOXES FULL OF THEM.
LOOK!
LOOK AT THEM ALL!
OH, MY GOD! LOOK.
THERE THEY ARE THERE,
IN REFRIGERATION.
OH, NO.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, NO!
LOOK AT THAT!
OH, MY GOD!
LOOK AT THEM.
THERE YOU GO.
IT'S LIKE A NIGHTMARE.
LOOK, MOHAMMAD--
I MEAN, IT'S NOT EVEN A PEPPER.
IT'S ROTTEN.
AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FLIES IN THE DINING ROOM.
I KNOW WHERE THEY'RE BREEDING NOW.
LOOK AT IT!
I'VE EATEN HERE!
COME ON!
MARTIN!
WE'LL MISS YOU.
HOPEFULLY SEE YOU SOON. TAKE CARE, BYE.
OKAY, YEAH, I NEED MARTIN URGENTLY.
HE'S THE GENERAL MANAGER, YES?
YEAH, GOOD.
YOU'RE--YOU'RE NEEDED RIGHT NOW.
I'M NEEDED RIGHT NOW?
YES, NEEDED IN THE KITCHEN URGENTLY.
ARE YOU IN CHARGE OF THIS?
ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?
THAT IS THE SALAD THAT I HAD--LUNCHTIME.
AS I OPEN THE BAG AND BANG-- OUT COME THE FLIES.
UH, GENTLEMEN, IT GETS WORSE THAN THAT.
IT'S GREEN.
IT'S BEYOND EDIBLE.
IT'S DISGUSTING!
LOOK AT THE COLOR OF THOSE CHICKEN WINGS.
EVERYTHING IN THERE WAS PUTRID.
HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN IN THERE?
GIVE ME AN ANSWER BECAUSE I'M MYSELF.
YES, UH, THERE'S A HEAD CHEF
RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
TRY TO RECTIFY IT-- THIS WILL KILL SOMEBODY.
I'M NOT PASSING THE BUCK, BUT...
I KNOW MY GENERAL MANAGER
KNOWS WHAT THE GOES ON IN MY FRIDGES.
WHERE ARE YOUR STANDARDS?
OUR STANDARDS ARE-- LOOK AT IT!
LET ME JUST TELL YOU SOMETHING. YES.
I'VE EATEN HERE!
WHEN'S THAT FROM?
THAT'S BEEN SLICED.
THAT'S GONE OUT. WHAT IS THAT--WHERE IS IT--
HEY, MADAM. WHERE'S THAT TOMATO GONE?
LOOK, IT'S ROTTEN,
YOU IDIOT.
IT'S ROTTEN!
NO, NO, NO.
SO WHERE IS IT?
OH, MY GOD.
THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY GLUM.
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!
LOOK!
IT'S ROTTEN, MOHAMMAD!
TELL HIM IN YOUR LANGUAGE HE'LL KILL SOMEBODY!
WHAT DO WE NEED,
A DEATH IN THE RESTAURANT
BEFORE SOME GETS A GRIP?
HOW MANY TABLES ARE OUT THERE?
THERE'S THREE. THREE.
YOU TELL THOSE THREE TABLES
THIS IS LUCKIEST DAY OF THEIR LIVES.
OKAY?
THE ONLY THING WORSE
THAN HAVING TABLES SENT AWAY
IS KNOWING THAT WHAT I WAS GOING TO SERVE THEM
COULD MAKE THEM SICK.
NO ONE IS GETTING SERVED
ON THIS RESTAURANT TONIGHT.
LET'S MAKE THAT CLEAR.
YES OR NO? ANYONE AGAINST THAT?
NO.
NO--GOOD.
THAT DIDN'T GO DOWN TOO WELL.
HE WAS EXTREMELY ANGRY, EXTREMELY PISSED OFF.
WE ARE NOT...EVER AGAIN
SERVING ANY OF THIS FOOD.
I DON'T GIVE A WHAT ANYONE SAYS.
CAN YOU GO AND TELL THEM
THAT THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED RIGHT NOW.
OUT THERE AND TELL THEM THE TRUTH.
TELL THEM NOW!
GORDON WAS SO OUTRAGED.
SO ANGRY.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
GREEN BURGERS TO FURRY CUCUMBER
TO ROTTEN POTATOES.
OUT THERE! HELLO.
HI.
I'M SORRY TO INFORM YOU
THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE SERVING DINNER THIS EVENING.
CHEF RAMSAY'S SHUT DOWN THE KITCHEN.
IT'S JUST DISGRACEFUL.
I FEEL TERRIBLE THAT IT'S GOTTEN TO THIS POINT.
I'M SPEECHLESS.
IT IS A NIGHTMARE.
THIS IS SO HORRIBLE.
I SHOULD CLOSE DOWN THIS PLACE.
THIS IS WORSE THAN A NIGHTMARE.
GORDON HAS ENCOUNTERED
ONE OF THE MOST DISGUSTING KITCHENS
HE HAS EVER SEEN.
OH, MY GOD!
AND SO HE MUST TAKE SERIOUS ACTION.
LET'S GO.
I WANT THESE GUYS TO KNOW
I MEAN BUSINESS.
A CLEAN MEANS A PROPER CLEAN.
RIGHT, YOU DIRTY LITTLE ,
WHERE ARE YOU?
I WAS JUST LOOKING AT HIM...
AND THINKING...
OKAY, WHEN I SAY "CLEAN,"
I MEAN "CLEAN," YEAH? GUYS!
LET'S GO!
THESE GUYS ARE PROFESSIONAL STEAM CLEANERS, YEAH?
GUYS, KITCHEN'S STRAIGHT THROUGH THERE.
IT WASN'T JUST CLEANERS;
IT WAS CLEANERS PLUS.
THEY WERE DRESSED LIKE PEOPLE
FROM STAR WARS, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
AND YOU GUYS ARE DOING IT WITH THEM, YEAH?
OH, GOD.
TO SEEK OUT AND DESTROY
ALL MOLDY, ROTTEN, AND CONTAMINATED FOODS.
WE GOT WORK TO DO.
THE NEXT PHASE OF OPERATION STERILIZE,
STEAM CLEAN EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THE KITCHEN.
NOW IT'S TIME TO ENLIGHTEN MOHAMMAD
AND HIS MANAGERS WITH A LITTLE TRIP
A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY
TO THE KITCHEN OF GORDON'S NEW YORK RESTAURANT.
OKAY, I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NIGHT AND DAY.
THIS IS A KITCHEN.
HAVE A LOOK AROUND.
GORDON'S KITCHEN IS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.
NO MATTER WHAT SIZE RESTAURANT YOU ARE,
YOU CAN KEEP A CLEAN SHOP
AND YOU CAN KEEP IT ORGANIZED.
OPEN THE FRIDGE DOOR, MARTIN.
WE WENT TO THE LONDON.
THAT WAS THE WALK OF SHAME.
TWICE A DAY THESE FRIDGES ARE CLEANED.
THIS IS HEAVEN,
THAT WAS HELL.
IN ORDER TO REACH OUT
TO THE LOCAL INDIAN COMMUNITY
AND NEW YORKERS AT LARGE,
GORDON HAS COME UP WITH HIS STRATEGY FOR THE MENU.
CONTEMPORARY INDIAN CUISINE.
DOES HE KNOW WE'RE ON BROADWAY?
WHERE ARE WE?
NEW JERSEY. NO, NO--
- NEW JERSEY? - OH, ME.
HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WE'RE IN NEW YORK.
RIGHT.
WITH THIS SALMON,
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A BIT OF A BROTH
WITH COCONUT AND TOMATOES AND ONIONS.
RIGHT.
THE SECRET BEHIND THIS COLOR IS NICE AND PINK--IT'S SWEET.
A LITTLE BIT OF CURRY POWDER, YES?
YES. AND THEN FROM THERE,
JUST SIT IT ON TOP OF THE CHUTNEY.
PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS,
A WALNUT CHUTNEY,
WONDERFUL, CRISPY SALMON
WITH A TOMATO COCONUT CURRY BROTH.
HE JUST OPENED MY EYES
TO WHAT CAN BE DONE.
CLEAN, MODERN WAY TO SERVE INDIAN FOOD.
VERY GOOD.
LOOK AT ME-- OH JEEZ.
GIVE ME A CUDDLE , OKAY?
VERY, VERY GOOD.
OKAY, OKAY, YOU CAN LET GO NOW.
HE CAN LET GO NOW.
HE CAN LET GO NOW!
OKAY, GOOD.
TO HELP EXECUTE GORDON'S MENU MAKEOVER,
HE HAS ENLISTED THE HELP
OF ONE OF THE TOP INDIAN CHEFS IN NEW YORK CITY,
VIKAS KHANNA.
GOOD TO SEE YOU, BUDDY. ARE YOU WELL?
I NEED YOU HERE
TO WORK WITH THE TEAM OF CHEFS
AND TO GET THIS PLACE
BACK ON THE MAP, YEAH?
LATER IN THE NIGHT,
GORDON'S DESIGN TEAM IS BROUGHT IN
TO DRAMATICALLY TRANSFORM
THE RESTAURANT'S INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR.
IT'S A NEW DAY.
THE TACKY ELECTRONIC SIGN IS BEING REMOVED,
AND THE RESTAURANT IS GIVEN
AN AUTHENTIC INDIAN NAME.
PURNIMA, WHICH MEANS "FULL MOON."
FOLLOW ME--LET'S GO!
HERE WE GO.
THERE WE WERE, ALL BLINDFOLDED,
MUCH TO OUR CHAGRIN I TELL YOU.
OKAY, ON THE COUNT OF THREE,
TAKE OFF YOUR BLINDFOLDS.
ONE, TWO, THREE!
WELCOME.
WOW! WOW!
HAVEN'T THEY DONE AN AMAZING JOB?
GREAT JOB. AMAZING JOB.
MOHAMMAD, HAVE A LOOK FROM DOWN HERE.
WOW.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?
BEAUTIFUL.
IT HAS A NICE CLEAN, CRISP LOOK.
IT LOOKS NOW LIKE IT'S BEEN DONE
BY PROFESSIONALS THE WAY IT SHOULD.
OH, WOW!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
ISN'T IT LOVELY?
I'M HAPPY TO COME INTO WORK NOW
AND NOT SEE THE MATERIAL.
IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT'D BE.
NEW CHAIRS,
NEW BANQUETTES,
NEW LINEN,
NEW PICTURES,
AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT IS CLASSY, YES?
HE JUST TURNED THIS RESTAURANT FROM 0 TO 100.
WE'RE GONNA GO OUTSIDE
AND HAVE A QUICK LOOK OUTSIDE.
WOW, BEAUTIFUL.
WOW!
OH, MY GOD!
STAND BACK A LITTLE BIT.
THERE'S NO CONFUSION.
THE COLOR'S BEAUTIFUL.
YES.
I'M NOT GONNA MISS THAT SIGN.
I'M SO GLAD TO HAVE IT GONE.
IT LOOKS LIKE A REAL RESTAURANT AGAIN.
AMAZING JOB.
AFTER WORKING THROUGH THE NIGHT,
VIKAS IS READY TO PRESENT
THE NEW MENU HE DESIGNED WITH GORDON.
THE OLD MENU HAS BEEN REPLACED
WITH CLASSIC INDIAN DISHES
THAT HAVE A MODERN TWIST.
EVERYTHING IS DONE VERY SIMPLE
ACCORDING TO AMERICAN PALATE.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT INDIAN FOOD LIKE THAT EXISTED.
OKAY, THAT'S A VERY BASIC CURRY.
WE MOVE TO THE NEXT DISH, WE HAVE KADHAI SHRIMP HERE.
AFTER THE TRIO, WE HAVE THE CHICKEN KORMA.
WE'RE USING SAFFRON,
REAL SAFFRON FOR THIS FLAVOR.
MR. VIKAS IS SO CUTE.
HE IS A MAGICIAN TO ME.
AND GORDON'S RECIPE OF SAFFRON CAULIFLOWER.
THE MENU REFLECTS THESE VALUES
OF FRESHNESS IN FOOD,
VIBRANT FLAVORS,
AND IT'S VERY APPROACHABLE FOR EVERYONE.
WITH THE KITCHEN, MENU, AND DECOR
ALL IN GOOD SHAPE,
IT'S TIME FOR GORDON TO TURN HIS ATTENTION
BACK TO THE STAFF.
BIG, BIG, BIG NIGHT, YES?
THIS PLACE IS ABOUT TO BE RELAUNCHED PROPERLY.
TONIGHT IT HAS TO WORK, OKAY?
WHAT'S YOUR ROLE FOR TONIGHT, GENERAL MANAGER?
I'M IN FRONT OF HOUSE.
UM, I'LL BE MEETING, GREETING--
WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR?
WHEN THE CUSTOMERS SIT DOWN,
WILL YOU NOT SORT OF BE SO FALSE
WHEN YOU JUMP ON--
JUST SOMETIMES I FEEL IT'S SO IN-YOUR-FACE.
IT'S INTIMIDATING FOR THEM.
OKAY. YEAH?
WATCHING YOUR PERFORMANCE,
I WAS, LIKE, WHEW-- TACKY.
WILL YOU PROMISE TO KEEP YOUR PHONE OFF
IN THE MIDDLE OF SERVICE?
THAT'S DONE.
WILL YOU PROMISE TO BE ATTENTIVE TO STAFF NEEDS
WHEN NECESSARY? YEP.
WILL YOU ATTEMPT TO ACT AS A GENERAL MANAGER
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER STEPPING INTO THIS BUSINESS?
YEAH?
I'LL ACT LIKE I ALWAYS DO, YES.
WILL YOU NOT TAKE IT AS YOUR CAFE AND HANG-OUT AREA?
THAT IS A GREAT MORALE BOOSTER
BEFORE THE OPENING OF THIS AMAZING NEW RESTAURANT.
WILL YOU ACTUALLY TREAT IT AS A BUSINESS?
IF YOU COULD TRY TO MAKE
SOME IMPROVEMENT THIS EVENING.
PLEASE? YEAH.
OKAY.
YOU'RE GIVING HIM SUCH A HARD TIME
AND IT'S MAKING ME ANGRY.
I'M FRUSTRATED FOR THE LACK OF RESPECT
THIS MAN HAS.
THAT'S WITH HIM, NOT WITH YOU.
SO WOULD YOU MIND KEEPING YOUR NOSE
OUT OF MY BUSINESS.
DON'T TRY AND INTERRUPT ME.
EXCUSE ME, THIS IS A LOYAL WORKER THERE--
OH, HERE WE GO. NO, I'M SORRY.
YOU DON'T NEED YOUR MINIONS
TO TRY AND CONVINCE ME HOW GOOD YOU ARE
ON THE BACK OF WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED.
IS THAT CLEAR?
MARTIN, PLEASE--
GORDON HELP US TO ACHIEVE THAT ONE.
AN AMAZING JOB.
ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY.
THANK YOU, MOHAMMAD.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT FOR THE LAST WEEK.
I'M REALLY PLEASED THAT IT CAME OUT.
SO NOW I WANT TO SEE POSITIVITY FROM EVERYBODY.
ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY.
AND IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO DOESN'T THINK
THEY CAN PULL ON THE ROPE LIKE THAT,
LOOK FOR A NEW JOB.
IT'S THE MORNING OF RELAUNCH,
AND GORDON HAS ORGANIZED A PLAN
TO SPREAD THE WORD IN MANHATTAN.
IT'S A PURNIMA PARADE.
LOOK AT THAT!
OFF WE GO.
AND WE JUMP ON, YES?
IT'S AMAZING.
THE GIRLS, MUSIC,
AND THE PROMOTING IDEAS-- ALL OF THEM.
I LOVE IT, I LOVE YOU!
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HAPPY NOW.
PEOPLE WERE ASKING WHERE THE RESTAURANT IS,
AND IT WAS NICE TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING TOGETHER.
WE NEEDED THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING
BECAUSE I THINK ALL OF OUR SPIRITS WERE SO BROKEN.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'VE ALL COME ALIVE!
MY GOD!
IT'S ONLY TWO HOURS TO GO UNTIL THE DOORS OPEN.
AND THE RESTAURANT IS BOOKING UP.
THE FUTURE OF PURNIMA RESTS GREATLY
ON TONIGHT'S RE-OPENING.
YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT. ABSOLUTELY.
FOR MOHAMMAD,
TONIGHT IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
BUT HE NEEDS HIS STAFF
TO RISE TO THE OCCASION.
HELLO, GOOD EVENING!
I WOULD SAY THIS TABLE RIGHT HERE.
I GOT A TABLE RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
THIS IS VERY EXCITING TO SEE
THIS RESTAURANT IS FULL AGAIN.
THE KITCHEN IS UNDER THE STRONG LEADERSHIP OF VIKAS.
SO HE'S GONNA BRING THE FOOD.
BUT GORDON WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE
ON THE GENERAL MANAGER, MARTIN.
APPETIZERS-- EVERYBODY TAKES THEM OUT.
THE SUCCESS OF PURNIMA DEPENDS ON THE TEAMWORK.
THAT'S THE CRUCIAL POINT OF RUNNING PURNIMA.
UH, MARTIN.
YEAH? GIMME THE PHONE.
IS IT ON? IT'S OFF, IT'S OFF.
JUST OFF.
IT'S OFF--OKAY.
YES, SIR, YOU READY FOR ORDER?
ONE CHICKEN TIKKA TRIO.
THIS IS THE NEW STAFF OF PURNIMA.
NEW DECOR, NEW MENU,
CONTEMPORARY, FRESH-- AND HOW EXCITING.
IT'S ALL FRESH, ALL NEW, AND WONDERFUL.
EVERYTHING'S JUST GOING PERFECTLY WELL.
BUT , MARTIN'S STILL HERE.
EXCELLENT--NICE ATMOSPHERE IN THE DINING ROOM.
NICE ATMOSPHERE.
HOW'S THE VEGETABLE MEDLEY? VERY GOOD.
CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONDING WELL
TO THE NEW MENU.
AND THE FIRST WAVE OF ORDERS
IS NOW HITTING THE KITCHEN.
LET'S GO.
I NEED ONE LAMB CHOP MEDIUM RARE, PLEASE.
PIPING HOT, PLEASE.
TAKE THIS, TAKE THIS.
WE GOTTA TURN SOME CUSTOMERS TONIGHT.
WE GOTTA TURN TABLES, YEAH?
IT'S GOOD. IT'S REALLY GREAT.
CAULIFLOWER'S GREAT.
BUT AS THE ORDERS START TO PILE IN,
MARTIN'S LACK OF MANAGERIAL SKILLS
START TO SHOW.
AND THE WAIT STAFF BECOMES CONFUSED.
CAN YOU GET THE TWO BACK TABLES?
SERVICE, PLEASE.
CAN SOMEBODY TAKE THIS, PLEASE?
WHICH IS CAUSING DISORDER IN THE KITCHEN,
AND EVERYTHING IS STARTING TO BACK UP.
MARTIN, KHAN,
THE FOOD'S SITTING HERE,
AND NO ONE'S MOVING THEIR ASS, YES?
IT'S GETTING COLD AND COLD AND COLD.
OH, MY GOD!
HOW'D THAT HAPPEN?
I NEED ANOTHER RICE, PLEASE.
SERVICE, GET ME MARTIN, PLEASE.
YEAH, QUICKLY, YEAH?
EVERYONE'S STANDING IN IT.
DARLING, CAN YOU GET OUT OF THE RICE, PLEASE?
MARTIN, COULD YOU SWEEP THE RICE THEN,
RATHER THAN EVERYONE STANDING IN IT?
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
BE NICE TO DO SOMETHING, YEAH?
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SEND MORE FOOD TO THE RATS.
THAT'S GREAT; FINALLY FOUND A JOB.
OH,.
EVEN ON A NIGHT WITH A TOP CHEF AT THE HELM,
MARTIN'S MISMANAGEMENT OF HIS WAITERS
HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS IN THE KITCHEN,
AND THE CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING THE PRICE.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!
IT'S COLD. THEY FORGOT OUR ORDER.
I'M SURPRISED NONE OF THE FOOD CAME OUT WARM.
IT'S A NIGHTMARE!
OKAY, WE'RE NOW JUST STARTING
TO TURN THESE FIRST TABLES
BUT PANIC SET IN.
CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT FOOD BEING COLD.
AND THESE STAFF ARE NOT USED TO BEING BUSY,
ESPECIALLY LIKE THIS.
FOUR LEMON RICE
IT'S COLD, YEAH, LET'S GO.
IT'S COLD 'CAUSE IT'S LYING AROUND.
JUST TAKE THIS, PLEASE.
SERVICE, PLEASE.
I NEVER SERVED AS MANY CUSTOMERS BEFORE.
WHO'S RUNNING THE RESTAURANT? MARTIN?
GORDON, YEAH. SOMEBODY ORDERED THIS, 33.
LET'S GO, AND THERE YOU GO.
ROUND AND THE BIG TRAY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHAT TABLE?
VAKAS--
"VAKAS?" VIKAS.
I DON'T THINK THAT MARTIN
UNDERSTANDS WHAT A GENERAL MANAGER
REALLY SHOULD BE DOING.
DON'T MAKE ANY PHONE CALLS ALONG THE WAY.
STRAIGHT TO THE TABLE.
NO, IT'S ACTUALLY BURNING, YES.
IT'S ACTUALLY BURNING?
CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING
ABOUT THE FOOD COLD, MY MAN.
WHEN YOU PUT THE MEAL OUT JUST NOW--
I BELIEVE GORDON'S TRYING TO GET ME ANGRY, IRED,
ANNOYED OR WHATEVER.
AND I WASN'T TAKING ANY PART WITH THAT.
AH,.
GORDON HAS SEEN ENOUGH
OF MARTIN'S MANAGERIAL INCOMPETENCE,
AND BELIEVES HE MAY HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION.
BE HONEST WITH ME.
CAN YOU MANAGE THIS PLACE?
SO STOP BLENDING IN AND STAND ON YOUR FEET.
OKAY?
I WILL TRY MY BEST TO CONVINCE CHEF RAMSAY
THAT I CAN RUN THIS RESTAURANT.
ONE MINUTE, ONE MINUTE.
I JUST DID THAT--
NO, NO, NO!
I HAVE TO PUT--
THAT'S OKAY, THAT'S OKAY--RELAX.
WITH KHAN TAKING THE REINS,
FOOD IS FINALLY MAKING IT OUT TO THE CUSTOMERS.
GOOD MAN. THANK YOU.
EXCELLENT.
WITH KHAN IN THE DINING ROOM
AND VIKAS IN THE KITCHEN,
THE RESTAURANT IS BEGINNING TO RUN SMOOTHLY.
AND THEY MAKE ME FEEL GOOD.
ONE, TWO, THREE!
TONIGHT I MADE OVER $100.
I WAS SO HAPPY.
THE GRAND OPENING OF PURNIMA WAS BUMPY IN THE MIDDLE,
BUT FINISHED ON A HIGH NOTE.
MOHAMMAD, CAN I HAVE A QUICK WORD WITH YOU PLEASE?
HOWEVER, GORDON KNOWS HIS WORK IS NOT DONE.
THIS PLACE CAN BE PHENOMENAL.
THE LOCATION'S EXTRAORDINARY.
THIS IS A NEW START. EXACTLY.
YOU HAVE TO TREAT IT AS A NEW BEGINNING.
OF COURSE.
I MEAN, IN A PERFECT WORLD,
I WOULD SACRIFICE ONE OF YOUR MANAGERS
TO EMPLOY VIKAS.
YOU CANNOT CARRY DRIFTWOOD IN YOUR BUSINESS.
OUT OF THE THREE MANAGERS...
ONE HAS TO GO.
BETWEEN YOU AND I,
MARTIN HAS AN AMAZING WAY
OF MANIPULATING YOU.
AND HE'S NOT WORTH HIS WEIGHT
IN TERMS OF WHAT HE BRINGS TO THE TABLE.
HEARING GORDON RAMSAY SAY THAT TO MOHAMMAD,
THAT MAKES ME UPSET AND ANGRY.
THE FRUSTRATION JUST BOILED OVER.
TONIGHT, MOHAMMAD-- YES.
I HAVE NEVER USED YOU, I'VE RESPECTED YOU.
I'M PROUD OF WHAT WE'VE DONE.
I'VE NEVER CHEATED YOU.
WHAT--WHAT-- WHAT'S GOING ON?
COME HERE.
YOU'RE RECOMMENDING--
ENOUGH--I'VE HAD ENOUGH.
BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN INSULTING.
YOU'VE ACCUSE ME OF--
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID TO HIM?
MARTIN--
LET HIM GO. GO ON, GET IT OUT.
GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST.
YOU'VE ACCUSED ME OF RIDING ON THIS MAN'S SHOULDERS.
WHY ARE YOU POINTING LIKE THAT?
BECAUSE I'M ANGRY, OKAY?
YOU WANT TO SEE PASSION, I'M GIVING YOU PASSION.
THIS PERSON I'VE RESPECTED,
AND YOU'VE HAD THE AUDACITY TO ACCUSE ME
OF, LIKE, TAKING HIS MONEY--
RIDING OFF HIS BACK.
RIDING OFF HIS BACK IS WHAT YOU SAID.
WELL, THAT IS DISGUSTING. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
WHAT ABOUT-- WHAT ABOUT--
I HAVE NOTHING TO BE GUILTY OF.
YOU WHAT? NOTHING.
YOU SAT IN IT.
IT'S ROTTEN!
YEAH, YOU RAN IT, YOU SAT IN IT--
YES.
YOU WASTED IT.
YES, I WASTED, YES.
AND YOU ENCOURAGED IT.
THIS WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THIS.
IT SPIRALED OUT OF CONTROL--
AND I ASKED YOU TO COME ON BOARD.
I'M GLAD. NOT GUILTY.
MOHAMMAD, I--
NOT GUILTY!
I HAVE NOTHING TO BE GUILTY OF.
YOU WHAT? NOTHING.
YOU SAT IN IT.
YEAH, YOU RAN IT, YOU SAT IN IT--
YOU WASTED IT.
YES, I WASTED, YES.
AND YOU ENCOURAGED IT.
THIS WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THIS.
IT SPIRALED OUT OF CONTROL--
AND I ASKED YOU TO COME ON BOARD.
I'M GLAD. NOT GUILTY.
MOHAMMAD, I--
NOT GUILTY!
I'M NOT GONNA TAKE THIS PUT-DOWN ANYMORE.
I HAVE NOTHING TO BE GUILTY OF.
LISTEN, THIS IS MY LAST NIGHT.
YOU SAID IT WAS YOUR LAST NIGHT.
YES. I'M CONFUSED.
YES, THIS IS MY LAST NIGHT.
THIS IS MY LAST--TONIGHT!
OKAY, PLEASE TELL THE OWNER. NOT ME.
THIS IS MY LAST NIGHT.
I'M OUT OF HERE. I QUIT.
WHEN MARTIN LEFT,
ACTUALLY I'M IN SHOCK.
I DIDN'T EXPECT IT'S GONNA GO THAT BAD.
I THINK GORDON RAMSAY IS FULL OF ,
AND I'M EXTREMELY ANGRY, EXTREMELY PISSED OFF.
AND I NOW TURN MY BACK AND WALK AWAY.
WITH THE SUCCESS OF THE RELAUNCH
AND THE CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT,
PURNIMA HAS BEATEN THE ODDS
AND IS NOW LOOKING TO A BRIGHT FUTURE.
IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS,
PURNIMA'S CONTEMPORARY INDIAN FOOD AND ATMOSPHERE
CONTINUED TO GENERATE GREAT BUZZ
THROUGHOUT NEW YORK CITY.
THE RESTAURANT'S REVENUE INCREASED,
AND NATURALLY, SO DID THE SERVERS' TIPS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND CHEF VIKAS ACCEPTED AN OFFER FROM MOHAMMAD
TO BE THE RESTAURANT'S ONGOING CONSULTANT.
THANKS A LOT. I APPRECIATE THAT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
LET'S BE HONEST-- IT'S GONE EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.
- YES? - YES.
GREAT FOOD, GREAT DECOR,
GREAT BUZZ, HAPPY CUSTOMERS.
I REALLY MEAN IT. THANK YOU.
BLOODY GOOD JOB.
YES? YEAH?
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE CHANGES
GORDON HAS MADE HERE.
HE HAS GIVEN THIS PLACE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THRIVE
AND BE A REAL RESTAURANT.
FROM ALL OF US OVER HERE,
I THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
LISTEN, YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
YOU'VE GOT ALL THE TOOLS,
NOW DO IT.
YOU START WORKING HARD.
GORDON DID WHAT I THOUGHT WAS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE
WITH THE RESTAURANT.
KHAN.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH CHEF GORDON WAS WONDERFUL.
I HAVE THE CONFIDENCE THAT WE CAN RUN THIS BUSINESS
AND WE CAN RUN THIS RESTAURANT SUCCESSFULLY.
OKAY. YES, BIG HUG.
OKAY.
OKAY! RIGHT!
PULL HIM BACK, PULL HIM BACK.
EXCELLENT!
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
NEIGHBORS! YES.
NEXT TIME, I'M COMING TO EAT.
I'M NOT COMING TO WORK.
YES, YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY? GOOD TO SEE YOU.
EXCELLENT. GOOD NIGHT, GUYS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED.
STAND STRONG. THANK YOU.
GOOD NIGHT.
OH, WHAT A TRANSFORMATION.
I HONESTLY DIDN'T THINK
WE COULD TURN THIS AROUND. TO THIS EXTENT
FROM WHAT I SAW ON MY FIRST DAY HERE.
MY GOD.
NEXT TIME ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES.
THE MIXING BOWLS BUSINESS IS DWINDLING
AND RELATIONSHIPS ARE CRUMBLING.
YOU CAN'T GET SO OVERWHELMED.
I WASN'T TOLD!
THE MANAGER IS DESPERATE.
I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.
THE OWNER HAS LOST HIS PASSION.
YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN WHOSE DIED AND PUT OUT OF HIS MISERY.
AND HIS WIFE WANTS HIM TO SHUT THE PLACE DOWN.
I CAN'T SACRIFICE MYSELF,
FOR THE MIXING BOWL ANYMORE.
GORDON IS THE LAST CHANCE FOR THIS DYING VENTURE.
IT'S A RESTAURANT IN CRISIS.
DO NOT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!
NEXT TIME ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES.
