TONIGHT ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES...
WHAT IS GOING ON?
YOU CAN'T RUN A RESTAURANT LIKE THAT.
WE'RE STOPPING SERVICE.
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,
CHEF RAMSAY TAKES ON A MEXICAN RESTAURANT.
THIS IS A BURRITO HERE.
LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE'S BEEN SICK ON MY PLATE.
WHERE THE FOOD IS BEING MADE FOR THE MASSES...
WHAT ARE THEY EXPECTING, 2, 000 FOR DINNER?
BUT EATEN BY FEW.
THE OWNERS...
PATTI, I'M DISGUSTED. YOLANDA, THAT'S A JOKE.
- AND MANAGERS... - HAVE SOME PRIDE.
SEEM TO BE ON A SIESTA.
LOOK AT THEM.
AND ONLY WAKE UP
WHEN THEY ARGUE WITH EACH OTHER.
OH, MY GOD.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COULD MAKE IT WORSE AT THIS POINT.
WHAT DO I DO NOW. WHERE DO I GO THEN?
I'M THIS FAR FROM GIVING UP.
COULD THIS BE THE ONE
THAT LEAVES CHEF RAMSAY SPEECHLESS?
I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE THIS BAD.
MAYBE I'M TOO LATE.
WEST NYACK, NEW YORK.
30 MILES OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY.
AN ECLECTIC TOWN THAT LIES WEST OF THE HUDSON RIVER.
WEST NYACK IS HOME TO VIC AND YOLANDA FLORES,
WHO PREVIOUSLY OWNED ANOTHER MEXICAN RESTAURANT
THAT FAILED.
THEY WANTED TO TRY AGAIN,
BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY.
SO THEY ASKED YOLANDA'S DAUGHTER PATTI
TO USE HER CREDIT AND SAVINGS.
I'M 100% OWNER ON PAPER,
BUT MY STEPFATHER VIC CONTROLS EVERYTHING.
ALL RIGHT!
HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME.
HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO MY DAUGHTER.
HE DOES WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO.
WE HAVE TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS.
WE DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. WE GO ON AND ON.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BIG OPPORTUNITY.
BUT FROM DAY ONE, IT TURNED OUT TO BE A DISASTER.
IT'S TOUGH. I CAN'T CHEW IT.
INITIALLY, WE WERE BUSY.
AND THEN AFTER A WHILE, IT JUST--
THE NUMBERS STARTED DWINDLING.
IS IT NORMALLY THIS QUIET?
SO I SAID, "MAYBE WE SHOULD MAKE SOME CHANGES."
AND HE SAID, "EVERYTHING'S FINE."
I'VE BEEN THINKING
OF CHANGING THE MENU,
BUT MY HUSBAND SAYS PEOPLE LIKE IT.
BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE?
WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME
JUST LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW,
STARING AT EACH OTHER.
FIGURING WHAT CAN WE DO TO BRING PEOPLE IN.
IT'S LIKE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.
HE ALWAYS THINKS THAT HE'S RIGHT.
HE'LL DECORATE THE WAY HE WANTS TO.
IT LOOKS LIKE TIJUANA THREW UP IN HERE.
HE HAS A STUFFED CHILI PEPPER
THAT HE MOVES AROUND NAMED MANUEL.
THE MOST THAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT
MY DAUGHTER, UM, HAS RUINED HER CREDIT.
I HAVE TO GO COVER A BOUNCED CHECK OR SOMETHING.
SHE'S GOT PROBLEMS IN HER MARRIAGE.
I JUST FEEL VERY GUILTY
THAT I PUT PATTI IN THIS POSITION.
I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE THIS BAD.
WELL, I REALIZED IT WAS BAD
WHEN WE CAN'T PAY OUR--OUR BILLS.
I RESENT MY MOTHER.
I THINK SHE PUT HER HUSBAND BEFORE ME,
AND IT'S HURTFUL.
I'M JUST HOPING TO GOD
THAT CHEF RAMSAY WILL HELP US,
AND, UM, THAT VIC WILL LISTEN TO HIM.
OTHERWISE, OUR PERSONAL LIVES
ARE GONNA BE CHANGED DRASTICALLY.
RIGHT.
THERE'S THE SIGN, BUT GRILL "303."
WHAT THE IS THAT?
MAYBE I'M TOO LATE.
"GRILL. FIESTA SUNRISE."
OH, DEAR, OH, DEAR.
HOW ARE YOU? VERY WELL INDEED, THANK YOU.
GRILL 303 OR-- NO, FIESTA SUNRISE.
OKAY, GOOD. NICE TO SEE YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
I THOUGHT I WAS TOO LATE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A NEW RESTAURANT ALREADY.
OH, WELL, WE DON'T CHANGE
THE LITTLE LOGO ON THE FRONT.
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED THE LOGO ON THE FRONT. NO.
AND IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR HOW LONG?
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
A YEAR AND A HALF. YEAH.
- OKAY, RIGHT. - , WHAT'S THAT?
THIS IS A NEW FLAVOR OF MARGARITA WE HAVE IN HERE.
SO IT'S COMPLIMENTARY.
COMPLIMENTARY, EXACTLY.
WOW. YEAH.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR DRINKS.
YOU JUST COME UP HERE AND HELP YOURSELF.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE PEOPLE,
THEY COME IN, WE TRY TO BE, YOU KNOW,
GIVE THEM SOMETHING-- AN APPETIZER TO START.
HMM! TOO STRONG?
THE ALE? TEQUILA.
BRR, RIGHT, THAT'S PUT SOME WARMTH ON MY.
OKAY, SHOULD WE SIT DOWN?
PLEASE, COME. EXCELLENT.
SO THAT'S FREE.
RIGHT, WOW.
LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS PLACE.
SO HOW MANY SEATS HAVE YOU GOT THERE?
120. 120.
120, YES. WOW.
HOW MANY'S BOOKED FOR LUNCH?
TWO TABLES.
OKAY, WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
THE COMBINATION NUMBER ONE.
NUMBER ONE COMBINATION.
YOU HAVE ONE TACO, ONE BURRITO, AND ONE ENCHILADA.
OKAY, YEAH, I'LL TRY ONE OF THE FAJITAS AS WELL.
OKAY.
WHAT IS THAT ON THERE?
LOOKS LIKE I'VE GOT A STICKER ON MY MENU.
JUST TRYING TO PEEL IT OFF, AND IT'S BUGGING ME.
AHH!
"THE ART OF MEXICAN COOKING."
WHAT IS THAT UNDER THERE?
THE NAME OF THE--
WHAT NAME IS THAT?
FIESTA GARIBALDI. YES.
SO YOU BROUGHT THE OLD MENUS FROM THE OLD RESTAURANT
INTO THE NEW RESTAURANT
AND STUCK SOME CELLO TAPE ON THEM.
EXACTLY, YES.
AND IS THAT RESTAURANT STILL OPEN?
NO, WE CLOSED.
AND YOU CALLED IT FIESTA SUNRISE
AS OPPOSED TO FIESTA GARIBALDI.
CORRECT, YES. I'M REALLY CONFUSED.
SAME CHEF? SAME CHEF.
SAME INGREDIENTS? SAME INGREDIENTS.
YOU BROUGHT THE INGREDIENTS
FROM THE OLD RESTAURANT INTO THIS RESTAURANT.
WELL, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT. WE BUY IT FRESH.
YOU BOUGHT FRESH INGREDIENTS.
YES, CORRECT.
OH, THANK FOR THAT.
THIS IS YOUR COMBINATION, OKAY?
LOVELY.
IT'S A VERY HOT PLATE. BE CAREFUL.
THIS IS THE BURRITO HERE?
IT'S HARD TO SEE THAT.
LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE'S BEEN SICK ON MY PLATE.
CHICKEN'S SO DRY.
IT TASTES LIKE IT'S BEEN COOKED WEEKS AGO.
THE BEEF--HMM.
EXCUSE ME.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SWALLOW.
I CAN SEE HE DIDN'T LIKE IT.
MM-HMM.
WOW, HOW OLD IS THE RICE?
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S LEFT OVER FROM CHRISTMAS.
THEY COOKED IT YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
I CHECK IN THE KITCHEN.
CHECK AGAIN FOR ME, WILL YOU, PLEASE?
THANK YOU.
IT LOOKS OLDER THAN ME?
- IT'S DREADFUL. - ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL.
HOW'S IT GOING?
HE HATED THE RICE.
WHY? IT'S OLD.
HOW OLD IS IT? THEY'RE DISGUSTING.
- YEAH? - BASICALLY THEY TASTED.
I WAS FEELING VERY EMBARRASSED.
FIRST OF ALL, THERE WAS THE MENU.
AND THE MORE IMPORTANT THING, IT WAS THE FOOD.
THAT IS GROSS.
OH, NOW IT'S MY FAULT.
NO, I WAS JUST ASKING YOU.
OH, NO, SO HE BROUGHT
THE GLASSES FROM GARIBALDI'S AS WELL.
WE INVESTED A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS.
WE SHOULD'VE KNOWN THIS
A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.
MAYBE THAT'S THE KEY WHEN YOU COME INTO FIESTA SUNRISE.
STOP OFF AT THE TEQUILA BAR,
GET DRUNK,
AND THEN ENJOY THE FOOD.
HOW ARE YOU? HELLO.
WELL, THANK YOU. HOW ARE YOU BOTH?
GOOD. I'M PATTI.
AND YOU'RE HUSBAND AND WIFE.
I'M STEP-DAUGHTER.
OKAY, SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE PARTNERS.
EXCUSE ME. WE'RE ALL PARTNERS.
OKAY. NICE TO MEET YOU.
LIKEWISE. AND FIRST NAME IS?
YOLANDA. YOLANDA.
RIGHT. HOW WAS THE PINA COLADA?
THAT WAS DELICIOUS.
SAD, THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT I ENJOYED.
UM, LET'S GO OVER TO THE BAR AND HAVE A LITTLE CHAT, YES?
I'M HOPING CHEF RAMSAY
WILL CONVINCE VIC THAT CHANGE IS GOOD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY'RE STUCK IN THEIR WAYS.
WE SHOULD'VE STEPPED IN A LONG TIME AGO.
NOW IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THIS IS THE END OF OUR ROPE.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN MAKE SOME TYPE OF CHANGES
TO SAVE THIS BUSINESS.
ALL THREE OF YOU PAID FOR THIS BUSINESS.
NO, THESE TWO, THESE TWO.
YOU TWO PAID FOR THE BUSINESS,
AND THIS MAN RUNS IT.
HE RUNS IT.
RUINS IT, RUNS IT.
RUNS IT OR RUINS IT, YES.
SO FAR, RUINED, YEAH?
DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE OLD BUSINESS?
I DIDN'T, NO. NO.
I DID. YOU DID.
SO THAT RESTAURANT FAILED,
AND THEN YOU CAME TO RUN THIS ONE
FOR YOUR WIFE AND YOUR STEP-DAUGHTER.
YEAH.
BUT BEFORE YOU LEFT, YOU GRABBED THE CHICKEN,
THE MENUS, AND THE GLASSES.
NO, JUST THE MENU. OKAY.
I'M TRYING TO GET MY HEAD 'ROUND THIS.
IF YOU ALL OWN IT AND HE'S RUNNING IT,
WHY AREN'T YOU INVOLVED?
MY OPINION IS
I THINK HE JUST WANTED US TO FINANCE HIM A RESTAURANT.
AND I PUT A LOT OUT HERE.
I PUT MY CREDIT, MY HOME.
I BORROWED MONEY FROM MY FATHER-IN-LAW.
IT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO HIM.
IT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO HIM TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH ME.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BREAK EVEN?
HOW MUCH SO WE NEED TO TAKE A WEEK TO BREAK EVEN?
90, 000. A MONTH.
A MONTH, YEAH.
A MONTH. SO 22 GRAND A WEEK.
WE DO A THIRD OF THAT.
SO YOU'RE LOSING HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
WHAT'S THE DEBT?
ABOUT 850.
850, 000. YES.
AND YOU'VE ONLY BEEN OPEN FOR 18 MONTHS. RIGHT.
WHAT IN THE HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?
I WILL SEE YOU LATER. THANK YOU, LADIES.
SEE YOU LATER, CHEF. VIC.
THAT'S EMBARRASSING.
RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ALL BLAMING EACH OTHER,
AND IT'S BLOODY OBVIOUS
THAT VIC HAS RUN THE PLACE INTO THE GROUND.
BUT HOW CAN THE WOMEN COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT
IF THEY HAVEN'T PUT THE TIME AND EFFORT IN THIS PLACE?
SO PERSONALLY, THEY'RE ALL TO BLAME.
COMING UP, CHEF RAMSAY UNCOVERS
THE MOST DISGUSTING...
OH, MY GOD.
HORRIFYING...
LOOK AT THE FAT.
AND REPULSIVE RESTAURANT...
WHAT THE IS THAT?
THAT HE'S EVER SEEN.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE STOPPING SERVICE.
AND LATER, TENSIONS FINALLY REACH A BOILING POINT.
I PAY MY BILLS. I PAY YOUR BILLS TOO, BITCH.
COULD THIS BE THE RESTAURANT
THAT JUST CAN'T BE SAVED?
I'M THIS FAR FROM GIVING UP.
COMING UP ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES.
THIS RESTAURANT'S RUN WITH DYSFUNCTIONAL MANAGEMENT,
AND I'M DYING TO FIND OUT
HOW THE KITCHEN ACTUALLY FUNCTIONS,
BECAUSE HOW IS IT POSSIBLE
FOR SOMEONE TO COOK FOOD SO BLAND AS THAT?
AND TONIGHT I'M GONNA FIND OUT.
BUT I'M NOT EATING AGAIN, THAT'S FOR SURE.
WELCOME TO YOU.
THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME APPETIZER?
CAN WE HAVE SOME QUESADILLAS?
OKAY.
WOW, LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS KITCHEN.
IT'S HUGE!
AMBROSIO. AMBROSIO. GORDON.
OKAY, IN THERE? WHAT'S THAT IN THERE?
THE SERVICE FRIDGE.
HOLY CRAP.
- UGH! - OH,.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THIS WAS CLEANED OUT?
YESTERDAY. AND WHAT'S THIS?
THAT THE RICE. THE FAMOUS RICE.
YEAH. THAT'S THE FRESH RICE, IS IT?
UH--I GOT SERVED THE OLD , YEAH?
WHAT'S THIS ONE? WHERE'S THAT ONE FROM?
YESTERDAY. WHICH ONE'S THE FRESH ONE?
I WAS DISAPPOINTED AT VIC AND THE COOKS.
IT SEEMS LIKE I SEE THIS PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
CAN I GET THE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS, PLEASE?
OKAY.
OH, DEAR... WHEN WERE THESE DONE?
YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY?
OFF, VIC.
PLEASE, THEY WEREN'T DONE YESTERDAY.
OKAY, YOU CAN ASK IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE.
AND ASK HIM VERY, VERY QUICKLY,
WHEN WERE THESE COOKED?
OH, SO THIS ONE'S FROM LAST WEEK.
OF COURSE THEY'RE FROM LAST WEEK.
THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE LUNCHTIME, DO THEY?
THEY HAVE NO TASTE WHATSOEVER.
OKAY.
OH, MY GOD. LOOK AT THE FAT.
LOOK.
WHY'S THERE SO MUCH DISGUSTING FAT ON THERE?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THOSE CHIPS?
SO YOU TAKE 'EM FROM THE TABLE BACK INTO THE DRAWER?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
THEY COME BACK FROM THE TABLE
AND YOU PUT THEM BACK INTO THE DRAWER.
HE SAID HE DIDN'T TOUCH IT. HE TOUCHED ONE--
HE SAID HE TOUCHED ONE.
BUT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO --GREAT.
WE'RE LIKE A BUNCH OF CHILDREN
THAT ARE DOING THE WRONG THING.
WHAT ARE THESE?
VIC!
YES, CHEF?
THESE WERE FRESH CHIVES.
SELL BY DATE...
FIVE MONTHS OLD.
I FOUND THEM IN THE FRIDGE.
SMELL THEM.
VIC, LOOK, LET ME JUST SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT IS THAT?
I'M GETTING NERVOUS NOW. TALK TO ME.
WHAT IS THIS?
THAT'S THE FISH WE'RE USING.
THAT'S THE FISH YOU'RE USING?
OH, ME!
SMELL THAT IN THERE.
IS THIS TODAY'S FISH?
NO--EW, NO.
THE FISH, THAT WAS REALLY SCARY
BECAUSE IT WAS SMELLING BAD ALREADY.
I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
WHERE'S PATTI? YEAH?
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS. OH, MY GOD.
LOOK HOW CRISPY AND CURLED UP IT IS.
JUST TOUCH THAT.
OH, IT'S--IT'S-- LIKE SOLIDIFIED.
WHAT'S THIS HERE?
THAT'S THE STEAK, CHEF.
WHY'S IT ALL WRAPPED UP IN TINFOIL?
LOOK AT THE COLOR OF IT. IT'S OXIDIZED.
AND WHAT'S THAT IN THERE?
THAT'S PIECES OF PORK.
THAT'S PORK? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO IT?
WHY IS IT ALL STUCK IN THERE
WITH BLOOD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRAY?
WHY IS THAT?
HOW OLD IS THIS STUFF?
YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY?!
HE SAID FRIDAY.
LOOK AT THAT.
OH, MY GOD.
WHEN'S ALL THIS FROM?
FRIDAY. THEY TOOK IT OUT FRIDAY.
OH! EVERYTHING'S FRIDAY.
LOOK, LET ME JUST SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
LOOK HOW GREEN AND SLIMY IT IS.
THAT'S FROM FRIDAY? LOOK.
LOOK AT THAT. THAT'S FROM FRIDAY?
LOOK AT MY FINGERS. FRIDAY?
LOOK, LOOK.
THERE YOU GO. THAT'S FROM FRIDAY?
HOW DO YOU SAY THIS IN SPANISH?
THIS IS NOT HEALTHY.
THANK YOU!
WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?
A HUNGRY CAT WOULD WALK AWAY FROM THAT.
I WAS MORTIFIED.
I FELT EMBARRASSED
FOR LETTING THIS GO ON FOR SO LONG.
WHILE COSTUMERS IN THE DINING ROOM
CONTINUE TO EAT SUBPAR FOOD,
CHEF RAMSAY'S KITCHEN INVESTIGATION INTENSIFIES.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? WHAT'S THAT?!
THE BURRITO.
WHAT'S THAT ONE?
THE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS. OH, HOW?!
OH, MY GOD! WHAT'S THAT?
THAT WAS THE GROUND BEEF.
GROUND BEEF?!
HALF OF IT'S FAT, YOU IDIOT!
IT'S FATTER THAN YOU!
I FELT SATISFIED THAT FINALLY SOMEBODY
CALLED HIM OUT ON HIS.
OH,! WHAT'S THAT?!
THE BEANS.
UGH! HELL!
IT'S LIKE A CEMENT MIXER.
ARE YOU STUPID?
WHO'S CONTROLLING THIS?
I AM, CHEF.
YOU ARE?
YOU ARE A WALKING DISASTER.
NOW I'M FEELING, LIKE, STUPID.
LIFT IT UP.
THE FRIDGE IS FULL OF.
IT--IT'S DISGUSTING!
I WASN'T HERE ON SATURDAY,
BUT WHAT WERE THEY EXPECTING,
10, 000 CUSTOMERS FOR LUNCH?
PATTI, I'M DISGUSTED.
YOLANDA, THAT'S A JOKE.
I UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO GET SICK.
AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO SPREAD THE WORD
THAT FOOD IS BAD HERE.
YOU'RE OVER-STAFFED.
UNDER-WORKED.
FOOD.
I WOULDN'T TRUST YOU
RUNNING A BATH,
LET ALONE A RESTAURANT.
YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR TINY MIND.
I WANT TO TAKE THAT OUT THERE.
I DARE YOU, TAKE IT OUT THERE.
GO ON, GIVE IT TO THEM.
YEAH, THERE YOU GO. LOOK AT ME.
WHY WON'T YOU TAKE THAT OUT THERE?
IT'S EMBARRASSING. WHY ARE YOU SERVING IT?
YOU DON'T CARE.
WHY? WHY?
'CAUSE YOU'RE SERVING THAT
AND TRYING TO CHARGE PEOPLE MONEY FOR THAT.
THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T CARE.
I CARE FOR THIS.
YOU DON'T CARE.
NO WAY.
OH,.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I'M SO SORRY,
BUT WE'RE STOPPING SERVICE.
SHOCKED BY DISGRACE...
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
AFTER DISGRACE...
HOW DO YOU SAY THIS IN SPANISH?
THIS IS NOT HEALTHY.
AFTER DISGRACE...
I WANNA TAKE THAT OUT THERE.
CHEF RAMSAY HAD SEEN ENOUGH
AND TOOK MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS.
YOU DON'T CARE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I'M SO SORRY...
BUT WE'RE STOPPING SERVICE.
EVERYTHING YOU'VE HAD TO DRINK, EAT SO FAR
IS ALL ON THE HOUSE.
SIR, THAT THING IN YOUR HAND,
PUT IT DOWN.
IF YOU'D JUST SEEN WHERE IT'S COME FROM,
LIKE I HAVE, YOU WOULDN'T BE EATING IT.
VERY SORRY. CLOSE UP.
NO BILL ANYWHERE.
BY THE WAY,
THERE'S YOUR REFRIED BEANS ON THE WAY OUT.
HAVE A LOOK AT IT.
OH, MY GOD, THAT'S A GARBAGE BUCKET.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT,
SEEING ALL THESE PEOPLE WALKING OUT OF THE RESTAURANT.
IT WAS LIKE, "THIS IS THE END."
I THINK VIC GOT A DOSE OF REALITY.
HE WALKED AROUND LIKE HE WAS UNTOUCHABLE.
SO I WAS RELIEVED THAT FINALLY SOMEBODY ELSE
TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF THIS.
WHILE VIC SUPERVISES THE CLEANUP...
CHEF RAMSAY SPENDS HIS TIME WITH A WOMAN WHO IS TORN
BETWEEN HER DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND.
WHAT I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT
IS WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOUR DAUGHTER.
HOW DID IT START?
'CAUSE SOMETHING'S BLURRY FOR ME.
MY CREDIT WAS MESSED UP,
SO WE USED PATTI
FOR CREDIT.
RIGHT, 'CAUSE SHE WAS CLEAN.
CLEAN, YEAH.
YOU'VE DESTROYED YOUR DAUGHTER'S CREDIT,
BECAUSE NOW SHE HAS NO CHOICE.
I MEAN, YOU AND HER ARE IN THE , MY DARLING.
I KNOW, SOMETIMES I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.
DO YOU LOVE VIC?
I DO, BUT IT'S DIFFERENT NOW, YOU KNOW.
NOW BEFORE YOU CAME HERE, I SAID,
"IF THIS DOESN'T WORK,
I DON'T THINK YOU AND I COULD BE TOGETHER ANYMORE."
WHO'S MORE IMPORTANT, YOUR DAUGHTER OR YOUR HUSBAND?
MY DAUGHTER.
AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, I REALIZE
THAT'S NOT REALLY A CHOICE.
RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW PATTI HOW MUCH YOU CARE
IS TO GET INVOLVED... YES.
TO HELP TURN THIS BUSINESS AROUND.
TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
ANOTHER MARRIAGE THAT IS AFFECTED
BY FIESTA SUNRISE'S DEBT IS PATTI AND DON'S.
USUALLY, DON DROPS HER OFF TO AVOID RUNNING INTO VIC.
BUT ON THIS OCCASION, PATTI ASKED HIM TO COME IN
AND MEET CHEF RAMSAY.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I WANNA SAVE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY HUSBAND,
'CAUSE HE'S REALLY ANGRY AT ME FOR GETTING INVOLVED.
AND IT JUST SEEMS TO BE SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL.
UH, OBVIOUSLY, PATTI EXPLAINED
I'M ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS IN TERMS OF
THE WAY THE KITCHEN WAS RUN,
THE WAY THE PLACE HAS BEEN ABUSED.
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE A GUY LIKE VIC
WOULD TRY TO DO SO MUCH
UNDER YOUR OWN EYES
WITHOUT EVEN YOU KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?
WE FIGHT ALL THE TIME ABOUT IT.
HE SAW IT COMING.
AND I SAID, "NO, HE WOULDN'T DO THIS.
HE WOULDN'T DO THAT."
AND HE SAID, "HE'S NOT WHO HE APPEARS TO BE.
THAT HE'S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU AND YOUR MOM."
YOU KNOW, YOUR MOM ADMITTED LAST NIGHT
THAT YOU HAD A CLEAN CREDIT RECORD.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
SO THAT GOT ABUSED. THAT'S IN THE CRAPPER.
THAT'S THE ONE THING I'M MAD AT.
YOU KNOW, MONEY CAN ALWAYS BE MADE AND REPAID BACK.
THE CREDIT,
HE JUST NEVER PAID
THE MONTHLY PAYMENT ON IT.
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GET MORE INVOLVED
IN TERMS OF A SUPPORT MECHANISM?
OH, SURE.
HI, CHEF.
SIT DOWN.
I'M TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT, VIC.
I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE MADNESS
INTO HOW WE'VE BEEN OPERATING.
WHEN YOU KNEW YOU WERE BORROWING
ALL THAT MONEY FROM FAMILY,
WHY WEREN'T YOU BEING MORE HONEST
ABOUT WHERE THE MONEY WAS GOING?
THEY KNOW.
IT'S NOT CLEAR.
NOW IT IS, BUT WHEN I ASKED YOU,
"ARE YOU GONNA GIVE PATTI ANY MONEY?"
"NO, NO, I DON'T THINK SO."
THAT REALLY DOESN'T CUT IT.
I BELIEVE DON'S TRYING TO STAND UP FOR ME.
HE FEELS THAT VIC WALKS ALL OVER ME.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GIVE MY WIFE ANY MONEY?
YOU JUST WALK AWAY WITH ALL THE CASH?
YOU HAVE TO EARN SOMETHING.
I PAID YOUR MORTGAGE HERE, YOU JERK.
ONE MONTH I PAID
$50, 000, YOU.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A JOB.
I DON'T HAVE A JOB? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
PAL, I GOT A JOB.
THIS IS WHAT YOU DO.
I HAVE DOWNTIME. I DO WHAT I WANT.
I PAY MY BILLS, PAL. I PAY MY BILLS.
AND IN FACT, I PAY YOUR BILLS TOO, BITCH.
RELAX, RELAX, RELAX.
IT'S DONE, PAL.
IT'S DONE.
WHILE PATTI AND DON
WERE DISCUSSING THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION...
ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?
WE FIGHT ALL THE TIME ABOUT IT.
VIC JOINED THE CONVERSATION.
SIT DOWN.
ACCUSATIONS WERE MADE.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A JOB.
AND DON AND VIC WERE AT WAR.
I DON'T HAVE A JOB?
I PAY MY BILLS.
AND IN FACT, I PAY YOUR BILLS TOO, BITCH.
WHAT?
RELAX, RELAX, RELAX.
IT'S DONE, PAL.
IT'S DONE.
OUTSIDE. LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT.
YOU CAN'T START TALKING ABOUT THAT.
YOU CAN'T START TELLING THAT. YOU CAN'T.
THIS AIN'T EVEN HALF THE.
I'M UPSET.
MY HUSBAND REALLY WANTED TO HELP.
AND HE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE MAD AT ME
FOR PUTTING HIM IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS ALSO.
SO IN A WAY, I'M MAD.
I'M HERE TO HELP THIS PLACE TURN AROUND.
BUT TO MAKE THIS WORK,
ALL THREE OF YOU HAVE TO WORK AS A TEAM.
WHILE THE FAMILY COOLS OFF,
CHEF RAMSAY HEADS TO THE KITCHEN
TO COME UP WITH A GAME PLAN
TO FIX THE RESTAURANT'S BIGGEST PROBLEM--
THE FOOD.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT IN THE IS THAT?
THAT IS A JOKE.
VICTOR.
ALL RIGHT, LADIES.
I WANT US ALL TO GET INVOLVED
IN DOING SOMETHING TOGETHER, YEAH?
SO I WANTED A LITTLE FUN ELEMENT.
YOU MAKE A BURRITO, YOU MAKE A BURRITO,
YOU MAKE A BURRITO.
AND THE BEST ONE GOES ON THE MENU TONIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO.
I COULDN'T DO IT
BECAUSE OF THESE LITTLE HERE.
LOOK AT THEM!
OH, GOD.
I'M SO SICK TO MY STOMACH.
I WANT TO THROW UP,
BECAUSE I HAD COFFEE HERE EARLIER.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE ROACH WENT THROUGH MY CUP.
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EITHER.
TWO DISHWASHERS.
TWO PREP COOKS.
WHO'S CLEANING AROUND HERE?
DO THEY SERIOUSLY PUT FOOD ON THOSE PLATES?
VIC'S HERE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DIDN'T REALIZE
THE PROBLEMS IN THE KITCHEN.
CAN'T YOU SEE THESE?
I'M TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD. I'M TRYING TO GET GOING.
BUT EVERY TIME I PUT MY FOOT ON THE LADDER,
I GET KNOCKED BACK.
DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS LIKE THIS?
I KNOW THIS. I KNOW THIS.
- YOU KNEW IT? - YEAH.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
WE CANNOT OPEN. I NEED AN EXTERMINATOR HERE.
HOW CAN I START EVEN ATTEMPTING TO COOK
WHEN THE PLACE IS INFESTED WITH COCKROACHES?
I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS.
I DON'T THINK IT COULD GET WORSE.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COULD MAKE IT WORSE AT THIS POINT.
AFTER CHEF RAMSAY'S DIRTY DISCOVERY,
HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED IN AN EXTERMINATOR.
I HAD NO IDEA
THINGS WERE THAT BAD.
BLOODY HELL.
I'M PULLING MY HAIR OUT NOW.
I'M SORRY, BUT YOU'RE RUNNING THE PLACE.
SORRY.
YOU'RE SO STUPID.
WHERE DO I GO, VIC?
I FEEL EMBARRASSED WITH CHEF RAMSAY.
YOU CAN'T RUN A RESTAURANT LIKE THAT!
- YOU THINK I'M NOT? - I'M EMBARRASSED NOW.
YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED.
I'M NOT PUTTING ONE FOOT IN THAT PLACE
UNTIL THAT PLACE IS CLEAN.
YES?
YOU'RE RIGHT.
NOW YOU START GETTING THOSE GUYS CLEANING, YES?
YES, CHEF.
GET SOME PRIDE!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORD "PRIDE"?
YES.
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE
HIS HEAD SO FAR IN HIS.
ME.
I WAS FEELING SO DEPRESSED,
'CAUSE ALL THE PRESSURE THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW
IN THE RESTAURANT
AND EVERYBODY THINKING EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.
YOU KNOW, HE ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS RIGHT.
NOW HE FINALLY KNOWS
ALL OF HIS MISTAKES.
I'M VERY SORRY. I'M VERY SORRY.
I DON'T MEAN TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.
AND I DON'T MEAN TO HURT DONNIE'S FEELINGS.
I'M VERY SORRY.
AFTER TAKING TIME TO REASSESS THE SITUATION
AND ALLOW THE EXTERMINATOR TO FINISH,
CHEF RAMSAY RETURNS MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER.
WE ARE NOT GIVING UP.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND? WE CANNOT GIVE UP.
TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA OPEN. THE PLACE HAS BEEN CLEANED.
WE'RE PREPPING UP NOW.
AND IN UNDER TWO HOURS' TIME,
WE'LL BE IN A POSITION TO OPEN UP.
AND THEN WE WORK IT TOGETHER.
YES, CHEF.
ARE YOU GONNA LISTEN? YES.
DUE TO LAST NIGHT'S SHUTDOWN,
CHEF RAMSAY WAS UNABLE TO EXPERIENCE
A NORMAL DINNER SERVICE.
TONIGHT, WITH THE OLD FOOD A THING OF THE PAST,
HE CAN FINALLY OBSERVE THE STAFF AT WORK.
TONIGHT
IS ALL ABOUT FRESH FOOD.
EVERYTHING WE PREPPED THIS MORNING,
WE COOK TONIGHT FRESH, YES?
YES, CHEF.
FRESH. WHAT IS IT?
FRESH. LOUDER.
FRESH.
YOU MAY BE SMALL, BUT YOU GOT A BIG PAIR OF LUNGS.
FRESH! FRESH.
THEY SPEAK ENGLISH.
THEY'RE JUST BEING CLEVER BY IGNORING ME, YES?
YES. YEAH, I KNOW THAT.
WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO DRINK?
I THINK I'LL HAVE THE CHICKEN FAJITAS.
AND ONE BEEF ENCHILADA.
THANK YOU.
WITH CUSTOMERS IN THE RESTAURANT,
CHEF RAMSAY IS ANXIOUS TO IMPRESS THEM
WITH SOMETHING FIESTA SUNRISE HAS NEVER HAD--
FRESH FOOD.
BLOODY HELL.
GET ME YOLANDA, PLEASE.
HELL.
YOLANDA, YOU COOK AT HOME, DON'T YOU? YES.
YEAH. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS? OVERCOOKED.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
IT'S MUSH.
WE'VE GOT FOUR CHEFS IN THE LINE.
NOT ONE OF THEM CAN COOK RICE.
THE COOKS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
I REALIZE HOW BAD IT IS TODAY.
I THINK YOU SHOULD START
SPENDING SOME TIME IN HERE.
CAN YOU COOK RICE?
NOW, YOLANDA?
YES, SIR.
LIKE A GOLF BALL.
JEEZ, IT'S BEEN AWHILE, HUH?
I'M A LITTLE HUNGRY.
WITH THE RICE DISASTER,
THE KITCHEN IS NOW BACKED UP,
AND THE CUSTOMERS ARE GETTING RESTLESS.
FOUR CHEFS ON THE LINE.
IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE HAPPENING FAST.
CAN YOU SPEED UP A LITTLE BIT?
I'M STARVING.
I JUST WISH I HAD MY FOOD.
EXCUSE ME, GUYS, YOU HAVE FOUR PEOPLE OVER HERE.
WE HAVE TO START MOVING.
WHAT ARE THESE GUYS DOING?
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO'S THE LEADER OVER THERE.
WE'RE FINISHED WITH OUR MEALS,
AND THE REST OF OUR TABLE
HASN'T EVEN RECEIVED THEIR MEALS YET.
SERVICE, PLEASE.
PASS IT OVER.
WHAT'S THOSE BLACK BITS COMING FROM THE--
FROM THE TOP.
FROM THE TOP OF THE BROILER.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE BROILER WAS CLEANED?
THE CHEF SAID NOW IS-- THEY ARE CRAZY NOW AND--
LIKE, THIS PLACE IS HALF FULL.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN IT'S CROWDED
AND THERE'S PEOPLE WAITING OUTSIDE?
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
WHAT THE IS HAPPENING?
WHEN WAS THE BROILER CLEANED LAST, GENTLEMEN?
IF HE TELLS ME FRIDAY ONE MORE TIME,
I'LL BROIL HIM.
EVERY SUNDAY, THEY SAY.
EVERY SUNDAY MY ASS.
THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL.
I MEAN, YOU GOT FOOD. YOU GOT FISHY FOOD.
I'VE GOT FOUR CHEFS THAT CAN'T COOK RICE,
SOOT ALL OVER THE FOOD.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
ME.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT SALT ON THE FOOD,
NOT SOOT.
IT'S A JOKE.
YOU GOING? YOU GONNA JUST LEAVE?
THEY'RE NOT GONNA LAST HERE.
YOU CAN'T EMPLOY THESE GUYS.
ONE CAN'T CLEAN.
ONE CAN'T COOK RICE.
I NEVER IMAGINED
HOW BAD THIS RESTAURANT WAS DOING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE COULD HAPPEN.
I CANNOT COME TO TERMS
WITH WHAT THE IS HAPPENING.
ON THE HEELS OF ANOTHER DREADFUL DINNER SERVICE,
CHEF RAMSAY KNOWS HE'S RUNNING OUT OF TIME
TO SAVE THIS RESTAURANT.
HARD DAY TODAY.
WHAT WE TOOK TONIGHT COULDN'T EVEN AFFORD
TO PAY FOR THE STAFF.
THAT'S HOW IT IS EVERY DAY.
TONIGHT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE
THAT YOU'RE DIGGING YOURSELVES A BIGGER HOLE.
WE'RE TIGHTENING THE NOOSE AROUND OUR NECKS.
I-I'VE NEVER BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE.
I'M NOW GONNA START
TAKING DRASTIC MEASURES.
WE NEED HELP.
A LOT OF HELP.
I'M GOING BACK TO NEW YORK CITY NOW, YEAH?
I HAVE GOT TO THINK OF, YOU KNOW, AN IDEA.
OR WE'RE SCREWED.
I'M THIS FAR FROM GIVING UP.
NEXT...
THIS PLACE NEEDS HELP.
DESPITE CHEF RAMSAY'S MANY IMPROVEMENTS...
I HAVE AN EXPERT
THAT'S GONNA BE HERE TO HELP YOU.
NOW YOU HAVE ONE BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT.
OH, MY GOD.
ARE YOU HAPPY? I'M VERY HAPPY.
WILL YOU TELL THAT CHUBBY FACE OF YOURS?
DOES THIS RESTAURANT
HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT?
NO MORE MISTAKES.
OR IS FIESTA SUNRISE
JUST BEYOND REPAIR?
SOMETHING'S BURNING. WHAT'S GOING ON, GUYS, PLEASE?
THIS IS IDIOT PROOF,
AND THEY STILL CAN'T EXECUTE IT.
HOLY.
CHEF RAMSAY STAYED UP MOST OF THE NIGHT
IN NEW YORK CITY,
TRYING TO THINK OF SOMETHING
OR SOMEONE TO HELP SALVAGE FIESTA SUNRISE.
HE RETURNED THE NEXT DAY,
REINVIGORATED WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
RIGHT. GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.
GOOD MORNING. COME OUT.
AFTER LAST NIGHT'S DINNER SERVICE,
THIS PLACE NEEDS HELP.
DEFINITELY.
I HAVE AN EXPERT, OKAY,
THAT I'VE TAKEN CARE OF
THAT'S GONNA BE HERE TO HELP YOU.

MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN MANHATTAN CURRENTLY.
SHE'S FROM MEXICO.
AND SHE SERIOUSLY KNOWS HER MEXICAN CUISINE.

JULIET BALLESTEROS.
COME AND SAY HELLO. THIS IS YOLANDA.
YEAH, ONE OF THE OWNERS.
I GOT THE CALL FROM CHEF RAMSAY,
I GOT VERY EXCITED.
I WILL ONLY DO THIS FOR HIM.
VIC, THEY'RE GANGING UP ON YOU NOW.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR AGAINST ONE NOW.
YOU'RE OUTNUMBERED, BIG BOY.
WHOO-HOO!
I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN CHEF RAMSAY
INTRODUCED JULIETA, 'CAUSE WE REALLY NEED THE HELP.
WITH THE KITCHEN IN GOOD HANDS,
CHEF RAMSAY REVEALS THE WORK
HIS DESIGN TEAM DID TO MODERNIZE THE RESTAURANT.
OH, MY GOD.
COME THROUGH, COME THROUGH.
COME THROUGH.
NOW LOOK AT IT.
WE GOT RID OF THE CLUTTER.
THE UGLY, WHITE BANQUET CHAIRS HAVE GONE.
LOOK WHAT YOU CAN SEE NOW WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN THROUGH THERE.
IT MATCHES PERFECTLY.
LOOK AT THE TABLECLOTHS.
OH, MY GOD, LOOK.
OH, I LOVE IT.
I'M IN SHOCK.
THE SHUTTERS, BEAUTIFUL.
ALL THAT CRAP GONE OFF THE CEILING.
THE WALLS HAVE BEEN DONE.
THAT GLASS IS GONE.
STUNNING.
BEAUTIFUL.
NOW YOU HAVE ONE BEAUTIFUL MEXICAN RESTAURANT.
CHEF RAMSAY'S UNBELIEVABLE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HE WORKED ALL NIGHT TO DO ALL THIS.
I USED TO GET DIZZY WALKING IN HERE.
IT USED TO TURN MY STOMACH, AND NOW I FEEL CALM.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE A PLACE YOU'D WANT TO STAY
AND HANG OUT AND SPEND SOME TIME.
TAKE IT. LOOK AT IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I JUST WANT YOU TO RUN IT, YEAH,
WITH YOUR WIFE, WITH YOUR DAUGHTER,
AND RUN IT AS A TEAM.
THAT'S ALL I WANT.
I PROMISE TO YOU,
AFTER THIS, NO MORE MISTAKES.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
APPRECIATE IT.
HAVING UPDATED THE LOOK...
OKAY.
CHEF RAMSAY MOVES ON
TO THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE
IN HIS MASTER PLAN FOR SAVING THE RESTAURANT.
WE'VE BROUGHT IN AN EXPERT FOR THE KITCHEN.
WE'VE REVAMPED THE DINING ROOM.
AND NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT CHANGE THAT WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT IN TURNING THIS BUSINESS AROUND,
AND THAT'S THE MENU.
DO YOU LIKE THE NEW COVER?
NO. NO.
GOOD 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S NOT GONNA BE.
THERE WE GO.
THAT'S WHAT THE MENU'S GONNA BE.
SIMPLE, ELEGANT,
EASY TO READ, EASY TO CONTROL,
AND MAINTAIN CONSISTENT STANDARDS.
HAVE A QUICK LOOK.
I'M VERY EXCITED. I'M HAPPY.
BEAUTIFUL MENU.
READ OVER THE MENU.
I'M GONNA SPEND SOME TIME
IN THE KITCHEN WITH JULIET, YES?
OKAY, LET'S GO, MY DARLING.
IN ORDER TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL RELAUNCH,
CHEF JULIETA STAYS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE
IN THE KITCHEN.
THE TAQUITOS
JUST CRISPY ENOUGH TO BE, LIKE,
TO HAVE A CRUNCH ON YOUR MOUTH,
BUT DON'T OVERCOOK THEM.
I HONESTLY NEVER EVER
EXPECTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT, RELAUNCH NIGHT.
WHAT A WEEK-- THE TOUGHEST SO FAR.
SO NOW THEY HAVE TO PULL IT OFF.
THEY MAY HAVE THE BEST MEXICAN CHEF FROM MANHATTAN,
BUT IT'S UP TO THEM NOW.
EVERYTHING'S HERE. THEY'VE GOT TO DO IT.
LET'S SEE HOW OUR MEAT--
OH, LOOK, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT IT, YOU RUN IT.
AND I'LL BE WATCHING THE SERVICE.
TONIGHT IS CRUNCH TIME.
THIS RESTAURANT HAS TO HAVE
A SUCCESSFUL SERVICE TONIGHT.
OKAY, ANYTHING TO SAY?
I HOPE WE WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM,
'CAUSE I WANT SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF.
AND I'M PROUD OF MY FAMILY, AND I'M HAPPY.
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.
GOOD. READY? READY.
WE'RE OPENING IN FIVE MINUTES.
SMILE.
IT'S GOOD. I'M EXCITED.
THAT'S AS BIG AS IT GETS.
YOU LOOK LIKE A SUMO WRESTLER UPSIDE DOWN.
SMILE.
WITH A CONTEMPORARY NEW LOOK
AND SIMPLIFIED MENU,
THE SUCCESS OF FIESTA SUNRISE
NOW RESTS ON THE STAFF.
I'M EXCITED.
BUT I JUST WANT EVERYTHING TO GO OKAY,
SO I HOPE THEY CAN PULL THIS OFF.
YOU WANT APPETIZERS?
WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA TAKE THE GUACAMOLE.
MMM, THAT'S GOOD.
IT'S FOR A KID, IT'S FOR A LITTLE GIRL,
SO DON'T PUT ANY PEPPERS.
THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO BE IN CHARGE.
THEY NEED GUIDANCE.
BUT THEY'RE WILLING TO LEARN.
MEDIUM RARE.
CHEF.
THEY SAID IT'S KINDA COLD.
THEY WANT IT-- OH, COME ON.
JULIETA.
WHAT HAPPENED? THEY SAID IT'S COLD.
YEAH, 'CAUSE IT WAS HANGING AROUND. OKAY.
EVERYTHING'S SET UP.
EVERYTHING'S SET UP,
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS IDIOT PROOF,
AND THEY STILL CAN'T EXECUTE IT.
IT'S QUITE A WORRY.
COME ON, GUYS.
SOMETHING'S BURNING.
YEAH, THEY BURNED THE NACHOS.
THEY BURNT THE NACHOS.
WHAT'S GOING ON, GUYS, PLEASE?
HOW THE DID WE BURN NACHOS?
HOLY.
WHAT'S THIS, NACHOS FLAMBE?
AFTER A SHAKY START...
BLOODY HELL.
THE PRESSURE IS NOW ON VIC.
TO GET THE RESTAURANT RUNNING SMOOTHLY.
THIS IS EXCELLENT. IT'S VERY GOOD.
GOOD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SALSA?
I LIKE THIS. IT HAS A NICE TEXTURE.
THANK YOU.
OH, MY GOD.
I'M VERY EXCITED. I'M VERY HAPPY.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, I SEE THE PEOPLE, THEY'RE SMILING.
THEY'RE TALKING GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE RESTAURANT,
ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE FOOD.
THAT'S A GOOD PIECE OF CHICKEN.
I REALLY LIKE THE QUESADILLA.
THIS IS DELICIOUS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE IT OPENED,
FIESTA SUNRISE IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
BUT THEY HAVE ONE MORE HURDLE TO CLEAR
BEFORE THE NIGHT CAN BE CONSIDERED A SUCCESS.
I JUST GOT A PHONE CALL.
THE MAYOR OF NYACK'S COMING.
THE MAYOR? YEAH, THE MAYOR.
OH. YEAH, GREAT.
SO HE'S ARRIVING FOR DINNER TONIGHT.
GREAT. FANTASTIC.
WE HAD THE HONOR OF HAVING
OUR LOCAL MAYOR VISIT US.
HI. HOW ARE YOU?
FABULOUS. GOOD.
I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS
'CAUSE I WANTED HIM TO ENJOY OUR NEW FOOD
AND RECOMMEND IT, 'CAUSE IT'S SOME EXPOSURE LOCALLY.
HELLO, SENORES.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
CAN I OFFER SOME APPETIZER?
WE'LL GET ONE OF EACH APPETIZER.
OKAY.
AND PUT IT ALL OUT HERE, RIGHT?
THANK YOU.
VIC, MAKE SURE THAT MAYOR'S OKAY.
MAKE SURE HE HAS A JOLLY TIME, YES?
WHAT IS THIS?
TAQUITOS. THE APPETIZER.
EXCELLENT.
THE TAQUITOS ARE THE BEST.
YEAH, THAT WAS DELICIOUS.
I'M COMING BACK FOR THOSE.
HEY!
THE NACHOS.
IT WAS EXCELLENT FOOD.
WE HAD A GREAT EVENING TONIGHT.
I WOULD ABSOLUTELY COME HERE AGAIN.
CHEERS. CHEERS.
THANK YOU, JULIETA.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
WITH DINNER COMING TO A CLOSE
AND THE MAYOR SATISFIED,
FIESTA SUNRISE FINALLY SAW A GLIMMER OF HOPE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE WE'VE MADE IT TO TONIGHT, YEAH?
NO. EXTRAORDINARY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN THANKING CHEF RAMSAY.
HE CAME TO ME AS A GIFT,
BECAUSE I WAS REALLY AT THE END OF MY ROPE.
AND HE BROUGHT BACK HAPPINESS BETWEEN ALL OF US,
AND I CAN NEVER THANK HIM ENOUGH.
I HONESTLY NEVER, EVER, EVER
THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA MAKE IT TO TONIGHT, YOU KNOW THAT?
EVERYBODY... HAD TO WAKE UP
TO GET WHERE WE ARE NOW.
YES, CHEF.
AND, VIC.
VIC, VIC, VIC,
AFTER ALL THE MISTAKES YOU MADE,
AND ALL THE CRAP YOU WERE TELLING ME,
TONIGHT...
YOU WERE GREAT!
I WAS IMPRESSED WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE TONIGHT.
I'LL BE HONEST, I WAS NERVOUS.
THE TABLES, ALL THE CUSTOMERS,
EVERYBODY GIVING GOOD COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THE FOOD.
GOOD.
I WAS, LIKE, SO HAPPY.
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I ARRIVED,
I GOT TO SEE YOUR PASSION AND YOUR HUNGER
TO KEEP THIS PLACE ALIVE.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT TONIGHT WOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN OF ANY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT
WITHOUT THE HELP OF JULIETA.
THANK YOU, JULIETA. YOU'RE WELCOME.
WE'RE DOING THIS TO GIVE THIS PLACE A HOPE.
WE ALL NEED TO WORK AS A TEAM
AND AS A FAMILY.
JULIETA, THANK YOU PERSONALLY.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED.
OKAY.
GO BACK A WEEK WHEN I ARRIVED.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
THE SIGNS WITH "GRILL 303."
I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON HERE.
I THOUGHT I HAD ARRIVED TOO LATE.
OKAY, COME OUTSIDE.
NOW WHEN WE WALK INTO THE CAR PARK, YES,
HERE'S SOMETHING THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE
OF YOUR CUSTOMERS SAW TONIGHT.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU CHANGED IT.
YES, WE DID CHANGE IT.
SO WHEN THEY PARK IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT,
THEY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE EATING.
WHAT'S IT CALLED?
FIESTA SUNRISE. I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
FIESTA SUNRISE, CHEF. I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU.
FIESTA SUNRISE, CHEF!
GOOD, MAKE SURE IT STAYS UP THERE.
IT'LL STAY. I WANT IT TO STAY OVER THERE.
FIESTA SUNRISE.
YOU GOT ONE MORE THIS WAY.
OH, GOD. WOW.
OH, MY GOD, CHEF, YOU DID IT!
YOU PUT "FIESTA SUNRISE" IN FRONT OF THE MALL.
THAT'S RIGHT, IN FRONT OF THE MALL.
EVERY DAY 25, 000 CARS
GO PAST THIS RESTAURANT.
HOW COULD ALL THOSE PEOPLE DRIVE BY
EVERY DAY FOR 18 MONTHS
AND YOU NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT?
ARE YOU MAD?
I'M HAPPY.
OH, YOU DID IT, CHEF.
EVERYBODY THAT DROVE
PAST HERE TONIGHT SAW THAT.
GRACIAS.
I'M NOT KISSING YOU, YEAH?
OKAY. LET'S GO.
OKAY.
THIS IS MY AMERICAN DREAM.
AND I THINK IT'S GONNA BE
ONE OF THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANTS IN TOWN.
KEEP IT FRESH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU.
