TONIGHT ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES...
MY BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO CLOSE!
GORDON IS IN HOLLYWOOD...
WAKE UP, YOU IDIOTS!
TO SAVE A RESTAURANT THAT IS SO UNBELIEVABLE...
SIR, PUT YOUR HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU.
IT FEELS MORE LIKE THE SET OF A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE,
STARRING A DESPERATE OWNER...
THERE IS A BOSS HERE!
SO DON'T ARGUE ABOUT EVERYTHING.
HIS ANGRY SON...
SHUT THE UP!
THEN STOP PICKING ON ME.
AND A MANAGER WHO JUST LOVES TO DECORATE.
I LIKE TO MAKE PRETTY AND NICE.
I DON'T RESPECT MARK. WHAT ELSE DOES THE GUY DO?
HE'S AN INTERIOR DECORATOR, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
THIS MOVIE IS PART TRAGEDY...
- CONGRATULATIONS. - IT'S A DISGRACE.
PART COMEDY...
I DON'T LIKE IT, BUT YOU CLEARLY DO.
GOOD BOY.
AND PART DRAMA.
WHAT THE IS WRONG WITH YOU?
DON'T START WITH ME!
BUT FOR GORDON RAMSAY, IT'S A SHOCKING HORROR EPIC...
MARK, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
THAT JUST MIGHT BE HIS TOUGHEST CHALLENGE YET.
WHENEVER I SEE THAT, I'M GONNA BE PISSED OFF!
TONIGHT, IT'S THE WORLD PREMIERE OF SANTE LA BREA.
THE CITY OF ANGELS,
FAMOUS FOR ITS MOVIE STARS,
STUNNING COASTLINE, AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
THE IDEAL PLACE TO HAVE A HEALTHY RESTAURANT.
BUT IN SPITE OF ITS LOCATION,
SANTE LA BREA IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
IT'S CHEWY. IT'S LIKE MEAT, BUT NOT.
DEAN, THE OWNER, AND HIS TWO SONS, ARTHUR AND SAMMY,
HAVE BEEN RUNNING SANTE FOR NEARLY TEN YEARS.
DRY RED WINE. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I DON'T KNOW THE DRINK, BRO.
BUT BUSINESS HAS DWINDLED TO ALMOST NOTHING,
AND THIS FATHER-SON TEAM
IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF GORDON RAMSAY'S HELP.
I'M THE OWNER. I'M THE COOK.
I'M THE JANITOR. I ALSO DO ALL THE MAINTENANCE.
IS THE WATER STILL ON?
WITH A VERY THIN THREAD, I'M HOLDING THIS PLACE IN LINE.
DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS TABLE? MAYBE DAD SHOULD.
HELL, NO. YOU WANT IT TO BE GOOD, RIGHT?
THIS PLACE IS RUNNING, LIKE, WITHOUT A CAPTAIN.
AND I DON'T THINK MY DAD CAN REALLY BE A MANAGER.
HOW ABOUT YOU JUST MAN UP, MAN?
SACK UP AND DO THIS MAN.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE SURROUNDED
WITH GOOD, INTELLIGENT, STRONG PEOPLE.
I NEEDED HELP, LIKE GENUINE HELP.
I HIRED MARK ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO.
THERE'S A LOT OF FOOD HERE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHO IT'S FOR.
MY ROLE HERE IS A LITTLE BIT UNDEFINED.
THERE WAS REALLY NO JOB TITLE.
I'LL BE THE HOSTESS. I'M THE BEST HOSTESS.
WE DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DOES.
I THINK OF MARK MORE OF THE INTERIOR DECORATOR.
I WANT TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE A NICE, WELCOMING HOME.
I DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I TREAT IT AS THOUGH IT'S MINE.
I'VE WORKED HERE SINCE I WAS 15 YEARS OLD.
I DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME IT WAS, LIKE, BUSY.
JUST HOLD YOUR BREATH. IT'S ONLY 7:00.
THE NIGHTMARE IS THE FACT THAT I'M NOT MAKING MONEY.
MY FATHER IS IN AT LEAST $200, 000 DEBT.
I OWE EVERYBODY.
I OWE THE LANDLORD, TAXES, VENDORS.
I'M SHORT ON MY MORTGAGE.
IT'S REALLY SAD. I-I GAVE IT MY ALL.
I--IT'S MY HEART AND MY SOUL AND MY TIME.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MAN. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
EVERYTHING IS IN JEOPARDY.
I STAND TO LOSE EVERYTHING.
I THINK WE NEED CHEF RAMSAY'S HELP
BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WE'RE DOING.
EVERYONE AT SANTE LA BREA
IS GETTING READY FOR CHEF RAMSAY'S ARRIVAL.
I'M NERVOUS AND EXCITED ABOUT MEETING CHEF RAMSAY.
IT'S LIKE BEING AWAKE IN A DREAM.
AURELIO DIDN'T SHOW UP.
AURELIO DIDN'T SHOW UP AGAIN.
BUT OWNER DEAN HAS JUST RECEIVED UPSETTING NEWS.
THEY LOCKED HIS PHONE, AND HIS HOME PHONE IS NO ANSWER.
AURELIO? BABY, WHERE ARE YOU, MAN?
I NEED YOU.
HIS HEAD CHEF, AURELIO,
IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
COME OVER, OKAY? I REALLY NEED YOU TODAY.
OKAY, BYE.
AURELIO'S A NO-SHOW TODAY, SO IT'S LIKE, UH, WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS TO MEET CHEF RAMSAY.
I HEARD THE GUY'S LIKE 6'2" AND.
HE'S A MONSTER.
LA BREA AVENUE, ONE OF THE BUSIEST STREETS IN L. A.
AND HOME TO HUNDREDS OF SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANTS.
ONE THING'S FOR SURE, THE LOCATION IS NOT AN ISSUE.
I'M ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHAT IS.
MY GOD.
HOW ARE YOU? CHEF RAMSAY, NICE TO MEET YOU.
THIS IS DEAN, YES? YES, IT IS.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.
SO, THIS IS DIFFERENT.
THIS IS... YES.
WELCOME TO MY PLACE. IT IS DIFFERENT.
GIVE ME A, UH... A LITTLE TOUR?
A LITTLE TOUR, YES.
OKAY, THIS HAS BEEN REMODELED LATELY, NOT TOO LONG AGO.
AND I JUST PUT THAT IN TOGETHER.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE WHEAT GRASS.
GEEZ, YOU GOT GRASS GROWING IN THE CORNER.
YES, WHEAT GRASS.
OH, YOU GREW THAT. YES, WE DO.
, WHAT IS IT?
ACTUALLY... THAT THERE?
EXCELLENT.
OKAY.
YOU GOT--
I'M NOT GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU.
OH, ME.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT CHEF RAMSAY.
IT JUST, UH, FREEZES A PART OF YOUR BRAIN.
SO, THE FOOD. TELL ME ABOUT THE FOOD.
IS IT ALL VEGAN?
NO. VEGETARIAN?
NO, WE'RE--WE HAVE CHICKEN AND FISH.
CHICKEN AND FISH? YES, WE DO.
I THOUGHT IT WAS VEGAN.
EVERYTHING IN THE KITCHEN IS MADE--MADE IN TWO VERSIONS,
EITHER VEGAN VERSIONS OR NON-VEGAN VERSIONS.
HOW MANY CHEFS YOU GOT IN THE BRIGADES?
- UH... - WHAT A HEAD.
I HAVE--ACTUALLY, I HAVE NONE TODAY.
MY CHEF DIDN'T SHOW UP.
IS HE SICK? IS HE...
I DON'T KNOW. HE'S JUST VANISHED.
EVERYONE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF ME.
I'M NOT REALLY MAKING MONEY.
I'M ACTUALLY SPENDING MONEY FROM LAST YEAR.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE RESTAURANT?
STRAIGHT OFF, WHAT IS IT?
REALLY, MONEY--MONEY IS THE ISSUE HERE.
MARK SPENT $5, 000 ON THESE THINGS.
HE BOUGHT $5, 000 WORTH OF...
PRODUCTS. PRODUCTS.
SO MARK'S YOUR PARTNER.
MARK IS NOT MY PARTNER. HE JUST LENT ME $10, 000.
MARK IS JUST A BIG TALKER.
HE JUST TALKS TOO MUCH.
HE MAKES--MAKES MANY IDEAS HE DOESN'T FOLLOW UP WITH.
NICE TO MEET YOU. LIKEWISE, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU. I HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT YOU.
EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT YOU DO.
UM, RIGHT NOW, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE THE PLACE
JUST A LITTLE MORE HIP, A LITTLE MORE FRESH,
A LITTLE MORE MODERN.
RIGHT. OKAY, TELL ME ABOUT THE DESIGN.
WHAT ARE YOU-- WHAT'S THE VISION HERE?
I WANT IT TO BE LIKE NO OTHER PLACE YOU'VE EVER SEEN.
YOU'RE DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY NOT WRONG THERE.
THAT'S FOR SURE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I'M DYING TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.
GET UP TO SPEED OF TASTING SOME GRASS, YEAH?
DO YOU WANT-- I'M A LITTLE BIT HOT.
I'M GONNA SIT OUTSIDE ON THE TERRACE
AND, UH... I'LL BRING THE MENU.
GOT TO GET SOME FRESH AIR.
NICE TO MEET YOU, MARK.
NICE TO MEET YOU TOO, REALLY. LIKEWISE.
THANK YOU. SWEATY HANDS.
YOUR HANDS ARE SWEATY. MINE?
YEAH. I'M VERY HOT. I'M VERY HOT.
AND IT'S HOT. I CAN CHANGE IT NOW.
EXCELLENT.
HE IS H-O-T HOT. HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT.
NO.
ALL RIGHTY. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHEF RAMSAY.
SAMMY, HOW ARE YOU, BUDDY? I'M ALL RIGHT, MAN.
WE GOT A COLD GLASS OF WATER. THANK YOU.
WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU?
I'LL GO FOR THE PATTY MELT, THE TURKEY, PLEASE.
NICE. PATTY MELT.
OKAY.
AND THEN I'M FASCINATED--
WHICH I'VE NEVER COME ACROSS BEFORE--
THE MOGO DUFU.
WHAT IS THAT?
IT'S LIKE A-- IT'S LIKE--
IT'S LIKE A STIR-FRY,
A MIXED-VEGETABLE STIR-FRY WITH BLACK-BEAN SAUCE.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT SPICY. OKAY.
AND THEN I'LL FINISH OFF WITH THE BLACKENED SALMON.
THANK YOU. BRILLIANT.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT IT.
WOW. "MOGO TOFU."
ORRALE, GUEY. A GRANDE ORDER, MAN.
COME ON, HEY.
WHAT'S THE DOG'S NAME, PLEASE?
TUBBS.
OKAY.
TURKEY PATTY MELT.
ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.
YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
WHAT IS HE EATING RIGHT NOW THAT HE'S LOOKING
LIKE HE'S PICKING THROUGH IT LIKE IT'S DOG?
TURKEY MELT. MY GOD.
OH.
THIS RESTAURANT PRIDES ITSELF ON BEING HEALTHY.
THAT DOES NOT LOOK HEALTHY.
THAT IS DRY.
AND THEY ARE DISGUSTING.
COME HERE.
LOOK. SMELL. TUBBS.
THERE YOU GO.
A LITTLE BIT MORE, TUBBS?
THERE YOU GO, BUDDY.
HE'S FEEDING THE TURKEY PATTY MELT TO THE DOG, DUDE.
I SAW HIM FEEDING THE BURGER TO THE DOG.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M SO GLAD THE DOG ATE IT.
I WAS SO GLAD, 'CAUSE I THOUGHT,
"IF THE DOG DOESN'T EAT THIS BURGER, WE'RE."
THIS HERE IS A MOGO DUFU.
OH, GOD.
OH, COME ON. THIS IS A JOKE.
* HE DOESN'T LIKE IT
I DIDN'T KNOW MOGO DUFU MEANS IN CHINESE,
THAT'S FOR SURE.
HE'S LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF. HE'S RIPPIN'!
HE'S LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF. HE'S RIPPIN'.
RICE COOKED TO HELL.
AND...
AND I'M STUCK HERE, IN THE CENTER OF LA BREA,
WITH MOGO DUFU.
OH, COME ON.
THAT IS SHOCKING.
MY GOD.
THAT'S WHAT HE WAS--THAT'S WHAT HE WAS RIPPING APART.
OH, THAT'S HORRIBLE.
MAYBE HE CAN GET THROUGH TO DEAN ABOUT THE FOOD.
- YOU CAN SMELL IT. - YOU CAN TASTE IT. YOU.
AND THIS IS THE SALMON HERE.
BLACKENED SALMON.
BLACKENED SALMON, ABSOLUTELY. VERY BLACKENED.
IT'S DRY, AND IT TASTES...
WAY TOO FISHY FOR SALMON.
LIKE IT'S BEEN IN A...
REFRIGERATION UNIT THAT'S NOT EVEN PROPERLY COOLED.
DISGUSTING.
GOD, THE FOOD IS BAD.
HOW WAS IT?
JUST IN TERMS OF THE PRESENTATION,
IT LOOKED LIKE A DOG'S DINNER.
MM-HMM.
THEN YOU GET TO TASTE IT.
IT WAS HIDEOUS.
HEALTHY FOOD... YEAH.
DOES NOT HAVE TO LOOK LIKE AND TASTE CRAP.
NO. I AGREE WITH YOU.
SO...
OH, GOD.
OH,.
OH! NOT THAT BAD.
SHOW ME WHERE THE SALMON IS. IT WAS SMELLING FISHY.
UN BELIEVABLE.
FRESH SALMON. OH, DEAR.
THAT'S WILD SALMON. WHEN DID IT COME IN?
YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY?
MY SALMON WAS VERY FISHY.
YOU GOT ALL THAT IN THERE YESTERDAY? YES.
SO YOU GOT THE SALMON AND THE TURKEY
IN THE SAME CONTAINER MELTING.
SO THE CHICKEN COMES IN FRESH?
YES, IT DOES.
I GUESS THIS IS EXTRA. YOU KNOW, WHENEVER WE HAVE--
WHY ARE YOU LYING? NO, I'M NOT LYING TO YOU.
THIS IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED TO FIND
IN A HEALTHY RESTAURANT.
WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE?
WHEN CHEF RAMSAY FOUND
ALL THE STUFF THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME...
IT'S ROTTEN.
IT WAS VERY DISTURBING TO ME.
YOUR FOOD IS ABOUT AS HEALTHY AS THESE VEGETABLES.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT NOBODY LOOKS IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
WERE YOU GONNA SERVE THIS TONIGHT? NO.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, DEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF FOOD IN THERE
THAT YOU'RE NOT SERVING.
WHEN I SMELL HEY,
I GO STRAIGHT FOR THE JUGULAR.
I FELT DESTROYED. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
I FEEL LIKE BREAKING DOWN COMPLETELY.
I LET THE CHEF TAKE CARE OF THE--THE REFRIGERATOR.
I DON'T LOOK INTO IT.
THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS.
YES, IT IS.
IT'S TRUE.
THERE'S NOTHING FOR ME TO SAY.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THIS RESTAURANT IS YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS.
IT'S A DISGRACE.
COMING UP...
MOGO DUFU IS A TOILET.
GORDON TRANSFORMS DEAN...
WAKE UP, YOU IDIOTS!
AND GETS HIM TO TAKE CONTROL OF HIS BUSINESS.
THERE IS A BOSS HERE!
EVEN IF I'M WRONG, JUST DO IT!
BUT THERE IS STILL CHAOS IN THE KITCHEN.
YOU CAN LOUDER.
WHAT THE IS WRONG WITH YOU?
DON'T START WITH ME!
CAN MANAGER MARK TAKE THE HEAT?
AND THEN LATER, ONE SHOCKING SURPRISE...
SIR, PUT YOUR HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU.
THAT WILL CHANGE SANTE LA BREA FOREVER.
AFTER GORDON DISCOVERED
THE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS OF THE FOOD STORAGE...
IT'S ROTTEN.
OWNER DEAN IS DEVASTATED.
I MEAN, IS IT OKAY IF I SIT DOWN?
DAD GOT VERY EMOTIONAL.
I FELT LIKE THE HOPELESSNESS KIND OF FEELING
FROM HIM, YOU KNOW, IN A WAY.
AND IT WAS REALLY SAD.
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, MAN, WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN,
BECAUSE WE GOT MR. GORDON ON OUR SIDE.
YOU'RE RIGHT IT WON'T EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
AND ALL THESE THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DUMPED
BY AURELIO YESTERDAY.
LOOK, THERE HE IS.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
TWO HOURS LATE, CHEF AURELIO FINALLY SHOWS UP FOR WORK.
YOU BETTER DEAL WITH THIS LIKE A MAN.
THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE STUFF INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR?
IT'S ALL BAD AND MOLDY AND AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
WE SHOULD'VE DUMPED IT BEFORE.
SEE, REMEMBER, EGGPLANT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DUMPED,
YOU KNOW?
IT'S OKAY. WHO CARES?
DUDE, WE HAD A UP SITUATION TODAY, MAN.
CAN WE EVEN TRUST THIS GUY? CAN WE TRUST YOU ANYMORE?
I MEAN... I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
NO, MAN, WE TRUST HIM.
TAKE HIM BACK WITH OPEN ARMS.
SERIOUSLY, IT'S THE CANCER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE, MAN.
- MY DAD'S GOT NO. - HE GOT NO.
HE CAN'T GET RID OF HIM.
I'M DISTRESSED.
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SERVE ANY FOOD WITHOUT HIM.
I'M STUCK HERE.
I HAVE NO CHOICE.
I GOT TO KEEP HIM
BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE NO ONE OTHERWISE.
OH.
I SEE THE TEARS FLOWING, DAD.
I REALLY WANT TO CRY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MAN.
IT'LL BE GOOD.
GIVE ME A HUG, MAN. SHOW ME SOME LOVE.
LET'S SEE SOME--LET'S SEE SOME--SOME FATHERLY LOVE.
ALL THIS CHAOS, ALL THIS CONFUSION--
THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN
TO A RESTAURANT OWNER, ACTUALLY.
IT'S KIND OF CRINGING TO ME. IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD.
- FOUR FOR DINNER? - YES.
COME ON WITH ME, PLEASE.
TWO IT IS. AND FOR YOURSELF, SIR?
UH, THE SAFFRON.
NOW THAT CHEF AURELIO IS HERE FOR DINNER,
GORDON HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IF THE RESTAURANT FOOD
IS ANY BETTER WHEN THE CHEF IS AROUND.
DID YOU SEE THE FRIDGE?
YEAH.
YEAH. ALL RIGHT, ANYTHING TO SAY, OR...
NO, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY. NOTHING TO SAY.
IT'S MY FAULT. HE KNOWS IT'S MY FAULT.
IT IS--IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, AFTER ALL.
THEY GOT BUSY?
WHY ARE YOU SCARED OF THE CHEFS?
AURELIO IS ONE OF THOSE ENTITIES IN MY LIFE
THAT I CAN'T LIVE WITH AND I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.
I'M TIRED, DUDE.
WE HAVE MEDITERRANEAN PLATTERS, LIKE HUMMUS, TABBOULEH,
BABA GHANOUSH, AND PITA.
IT'S AN HOUR INTO SERVICE,
AND DINNER CONVERSATION AT THIS RESTAURANT
IS PRIMARILY ABOUT THE POOR FOOD.
DECIDED ABOUT EATING HEALTHILY THIS EVENING?
NO. RIGHT.
ENJOY.
HAVING HEARD THE GENERAL SENTIMENT OF THE CUSTOMERS,
GORDON HEADS BACK TO THE KITCHEN
TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
OH, MY GOD.
AND WHAT IS THAT?
YOU ALMOST GOT IN ALTOGETHER.
"UNDUCK." IT'S DUCK, BUT IT'S "UNDUCK."
IT'S FAKE--FAKE DUCK.
FAKE DUCK?
SO YOU CALL IT WHAT?
WE CALL IT "UNDUCK."
"UNDUCK"? "UNDUCK."
RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING COMPLETELY.
IS THAT POPULAR? YEAH, IT IS.
ACTUALLY, A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK FOR THAT TOO.
"UNDUCK." DUCK.
THAT'S FAKE FISH.
FAKE FISH?
AND IT LOOKS LIKE FISH AND TASTES LIKE FISH,
AND IT'S GOT SEAWEED ON--ON THE OUTSIDE.
WE HAVE EVERYTHING THAT'S "UN."
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
SO FAR I'VE HAD "UNDUCK," "UNFISH,"
AND UN BELIEVABLE.
WHAT A MESS.
NOT MY FAVORITE. NO.
"A"?
GOD BLESS LOS ANGELES.
YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?
AFTER A DISAPPOINTING DINNER SERVICE...
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
GORDON CONFRONTS THE STAFF
WITH THE HARSH REALITY OF THE SITUATION.
I'M SOMEWHAT CONFUSED.
UM, NOBODY SEEMS TO TAKE
AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY.
EVERYBODY'S A FREE-FOR-ALL.
NO RULES, NO ONE'S FEARING FOR THEIR JOB.
JUST A LACK OF CARE.
AND I THINK A MANAGER NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS HAPPEN.
ALL THESE THINGS THAT ARE UNATTENDED TO--
I-I HAVE TO TAKE BLAME FOR. IT'S ALL ME.
FOR SOME REASON, PEOPLE ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME.
MY MANAGEMENT STYLE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.
IT'S NOT WORKING.
LET ME TELL YOU, YEAH, WHAT THE PROBLEM IS HERE AT SANTE.
LACK OF MANAGEMENT, YEAH, THAT'S CLEAR.
THAT'S HAPPENING.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE
IS THE FOOD.
NOT JUST THE FOOD, IT'S THE.
EVERYTHING'S A GIMMICK-- "UNCHICKEN," "UNDUCK."
YOUR PHILOSOPHY IS NOT A HEALTHY STYLE.
THE I UNCOVERED IN THE FREEZER,
THE DISCOVERY IN THE FRIDGE.
YOU GOT GRASS HANGING FROM THE CEILING.
IT'S LIKE LORD OF THE FLIESUP THERE.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE HOVERING AROUND THERE?
MNH-MNH.
I AM NOT GOING ANY FURTHER
UNTIL THIS PLACE IS CLEAN.
AND I MEAN SPOTLESS.
IF A HEALTH INSPECTOR HAD WITNESSED WHAT I WITNESSED
JUST IN ONE OF THE FRIDGES, BANG, GAME OVER.
CLEAN THIS PIGSTY.
THIS PLACE DOES NOT DESERVE AN "A."
AND THE ONLY THING YOU'RE GETTING FROM ME TONIGHT
IS THAT, AN "F."
THERE, IT'S STAYING ON.
AND, GUYS, I'LL TAKE IT DOWN TOMORROW,
PERSONALLY, YEAH,
WHEN IT'S UP TO THE STANDARD OF AN "A."
NOW MOVE YOUR ASSES.
THERE, IT'S STAYING ON.
AFTER GIVING SANTE LA BREA AN "F"
FOR THEIR FILTHY KITCHEN...
I'LL TAKE IT DOWN TOMORROW, PERSONALLY, YEAH,
WHEN IT'S UP TO THE STANDARD OF AN "A."
NOW MOVE YOUR ASSES.
THE STAFF WORKED THROUGH THE NIGHT,
CLEANING EVERY INCH OF THE RESTAURANT.
I CERTAINLY WASN'T GONNA HAVE GORDON COME THROUGH AND SAY,
"WHAT IS THE MATTER HERE? DID YOU NOT LISTEN?"
A THOROUGH CLEANING IS THE FIRST STEP
THAT SANTE LA BREA HAS TAKEN IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
BUT BEFORE GORDON CAN CHANGE THE MENU OR THE FOOD,
HE NEEDS TO CHANGE ITS OWNER.
GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, SIR.
HOW YOU FEELING?
VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
TOUGH DAY YESTERDAY? YESTERDAY WAS VERY TOUGH.
REALLY TOUGH, BUT TOUGHER THAN I EXPECTED.
WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT THE BURDEN IS ON THESE.
YOU'RE NOT LETTING GO.
YOU'RE NOT RELEASING ANY OF THAT PRESSURE.
IT MUST BE SO FRUSTRATING INSIDE
BECAUSE NOBODY'S LISTENING, DEAN. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
THE CHEF'S NOT EVEN LISTENING.
YOU EMPLOY THEM. THEY DON'T EMPLOY YOU.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO TALK TO THE STAFF.
YOU'RE CORRECT. YEAH.
WE'RE NOW STANDING ON THE TOP OF THE CANYON.
NOBODY, YEAH, CAN HEAR US.
SO WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS LET IT OUT.
LET'S START OFF WITH MARK FIRST, YEAH?
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY TO HIM?
GET--GET THE OUT OF MY LIFE.
I DON'T WANT YOU AROUND.
YEAH.
THAT'S IT? THAT'S HOW YOU TELL STAFF?
PATHETIC.
HERE WE GO.
MARK, UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE HERE TO RUN THE RESTAURANT,
YEAH, NOT TO RUN CRAP UP MY WALLS.
START LISTENING TO ME NOW!
CHEF AURELIO, IF YOU EVER LEAVE MY KITCHEN THAT STATE AGAIN,
LOOK FOR A NEW JOB, YOU LITTLE.
AURELIO.
WHA--WHAT--WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?
DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO GO AHEAD
AND CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR?
IT'S NOT DIFFICULT. IT'S BUSINESS.
YOU HAVE TO GET A GRIP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
I WANT TO KNOW FROM YOU, FACE-TO-FACE,
THAT YOU ARE GONNA ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY
AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, TAKE CONTROL.
I'VE GOT TO HEAR YOU.
IT IS HARD FOR ME TO LET GO,
BUT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO TAKE CHEF RAMSAY'S ADVICE.
MARK!
THAT'S BETTER. GOOD.
LISTEN, NO MORE NO MORE AROUND,
NO MORE WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU BRING,
NO MORE FENG SHUI
AND "DON'T PUT THE MIRROR HERE. I WANT TO PUT THAT THERE.
JUST DO IT FOR ME THIS TIME. PLEASE, JUST THIS TIME."
WHAT THE HELL? NO MORE, OKAY? NO MORE.
EXCELLENT. AURELIO, GIVE IT TO HIM, YOU LIMP.
AURELIO, WHAT THE?
I KNOW YOU FOR SO LONG, AND I KNOW YOUR FAMILY.
I WAS STUPID ENOUGH ONE TIME,
THREE TIMES, FOUR TIMES, SIX TIMES.
TEN TIMES I TOOK YOU BACK, MAN.
WHO THE IS IN CHARGE IN THIS KITCHEN?!
GOOD. WELL DONE.
NOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BOSS.
IT FEELS GREAT TO JUST SCREAM OUT AND SAY THOSE THINGS.
I'M NOT USED TO DOING THAT.
WAKE UP, YOU IDIOTS!
LAST ONE.
HERE WE GO.
WAKE UP, IDIOTS!
EXCELLENT. GOOD.
HEY.
GORDON, RIGHT NOW,
KIND OF GAVE ME A LITTLE BIT MORE CONFIDENCE.
I'M READY NOW TO GO AHEAD AND DO MY JOB A LOT BETTER.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
GREAT.
HAVING COMPLETED THE EXERCISE,
DEAN RETURNS TO SANTE AND PUTS GORDON'S LESSON INTO ACTION.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S WITH HIS SON.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ALL MY APPLES HERE?
I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE END OF THE BOTTLES HERE.
I TOOK THEM OUT. I'M NOT PUTTING THEM BACK.
DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THIS ANYMORE, OKAY?
DON'T--
EVEN IF I'M WRONG, DO IT.
MY DAD EXPLODED.
IT WAS A KODAK MOMENT, MAN.
THERE IS A BOSS HERE!
SO DON'T ARGUE ABOUT EVERYTHING!
JUST DO IT!
IT'S MY. I'M RESPONSIBLE.
- AAH! - HE LAID IT OUT, MAN.
LIKE A BILLOW OF FLAME CAME OUT.
IT WAS AWESOME. IT WAS GREAT.
AT THE END OF EACH SENTENCE,
SAY, "BUT I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, SIR."
OKAY. YES, SIR.
AM I THE BOSS HERE OR NOT? YOU ARE.
THEN LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN TO ME, THAT'S IT. YES, SIR.
AFTER DEAN RELEASED HIS FRUSTRATION,
EVERYTHING SETTLED DOWN,
JUST IN TIME FOR GORDON TO INSPECT THE KITCHEN.
GOOD.
PEPPERS, FRESH, YES?
FRESH. GOOD.
GORDON CAME IN, AND HE KIND OF CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT.
AND YEAH, EVERYTHING WAS GOOD.
EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN, TOP NOTCH.
WELCOME BACK, YES?
YEAH? KEEP IT THERE.
YES. YES?
THANK GOD THE "F" DID NOT STAY
MORE THAN 10 HOURS OVERNIGHT.
WITH THE KITCHEN NOW IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION,
GORDON TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO THE FOOD.
TWO SPECIALS ON THE MENU TONIGHT, YES?
FIRST DISH IS A HALIBUT.
WE'RE GONNA COOK IT IN A MARINADE.
SECOND DISH, SALAD OF SHRIMP, LOCAL SHRIMP.
IT'S REALLY NICE
TO SEE CHEF RAMSAY BE ABLE TAKE HISJE NE SAIS QUOI
AND BRING IT DOWN TO OUR LEVEL, LIKE WE'RE DOING GHETTO GORDON.
SHRIMP DOTTED AROUND.
IT'S A CELEBRATION OF CALIFORNIA.
AND NOW, ON HALIBUT.
TWO VIBRANT, STRAIGHTFORWARD DISHES.
IT'S 30 MINUTES BEFORE DINNER SERVICE,
AND ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING
APPEARS TO BE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION,
GORDON GATHERS THE GROUP FOR AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
NOW, DEAN, YESTERDAY
THERE WERE SOME SERIOUS INFRACTIONS IN THIS RESTAURANT.
YES.
SPOILED FOOD, YEAH?
PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT, YES?
HERE HE IS. DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
SIR, PUT YOUR HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU.
PALMS TOGETHER.
OKAY. WE'RE GOOD.
DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
SIR, PUT YOUR HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU.
PALMS TOGETHER.
I HAD--WHOA! LIKE, WHAT?
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? WHAT DID I DO?
I SAID, "WHERE DID I BREAK THE LAW?"
AND IT WAS A SCARY MOMENT.
I AM FED UP, UP TO HERE,
WITH YOU WALKING AROUND PICKING UP AFTER YOUR CHEF.
RUNNING AROUND AFTER YOUR SONS,
AFTER MARK.
TONIGHT YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT.
YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING ANYTHING TONIGHT.
YOU'RE GONNA TELL THEM EXACTLY WHAT YOU'LL DO.
RUN YOUR BUSINESS VOCALLY.
YOU'RE NOT GETTING ARRESTED, YOU SILLY BILLY.
HEY, RELAX.
LOOK AT HIM. HE'S ABOUT TO CRY.
I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN. YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
MY DAD'S SUPPOSED TO BE A MANAGER.
HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE VERBALLY CONDUCTING THE SITUATION,
AS OPPOSED TO, LIKE, PHYSICALLY CLEANING UP AFTER PEOPLE.
THANK YOU, BOB.
OKAY, FIRST TABLE IS JUST ABOUT TO ARRIVE.
LET'S GO.
GOOD LUCK, BY THE WAY. THANK YOU.
TRY NOT TO SHOW THE HANDCUFFS. KEEP THEM TUCKED IN THERE, YES?
LET'S GO.
OKAY, GUYS.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE BOSS, SO I CAN'T HELP YOU, OKAY?
JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN.
I'M VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT TONIGHT,
AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE THIS PLACE SWAMPED.
NOW I'M GONNA TRY NOT TO LET THINGS GO OUT OF HAND.
GOOD EVENING. NICE TO SEE YOU.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING.
THIS IS MARK, OUR HOSTESS FOR THE EVENING.
HI. HOW ARE YOU?
CAN I GET YOU GUYS SOME BEER AND WINE TONIGHT?
PUSH THE SPECIALS, YES? YES.
NOW, LET ME EXPLAIN THE SPECIALS REAL BRIEFLY.
WE HAVE A SPICED HALIBUT, WHICH IS MARINATED IN FRESH YOGURT.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A SHRIMP SALAD.
THE SPECIALS ARE REALLY GOOD, AND THEY'LL BE GONE QUICKLY.
YOU GOT IT.
OKAY, THIS IS FOR TABLE TWO, TWO HALIBUT SPECIALS.
SHOWTIME. I CAN'T--I CAN'T CLAP.
DID YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK?
MARRETTI AND-- MARRETTI AS WELL.
MARRETTI, MARRETTI. MARRETTI, MARRETTI.
MARK, YOU'RE SWEATING AGAIN.
OH, NO, USE A NAPKIN.
IT WAS A WARM NIGHT HERE IN L. A.
I THOUGHT, "OH, I'LL BE SMART. I'LL WEAR A LIGHT SHIRT."
HI, LADIES, HOW ARE YOU? GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
DID YOU GUYS HAVE A RESERVATION?
HE'S TOUCHING THEM WITH HIS SWEATY PALMS.
DON'T TOUCH THE CUSTOMERS.
I WASN'T SWEATING THAT MUCH,
BUT THE SHIRT WAS CATCHING ALL OF MY SWEAT.
OH.
I DON'T LIKE WEARING DEODORANT. WHAT CAN I TELL YOU?
DAMP IT DOWN OR DRY IT OR ABSORB--
IT'S ALL LEAKING OVER. OH, MY GOD.
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.
I CAN'T HELP IT.
IT WAS TORTURE TO HAVE-- TO BE IN HANDCUFFS
AND JUST TRYING TO WORK THE NORMAL WAY.
WHAT IS THIS DOING HERE?
CAN YOU TAKE IT TO THE FRONT, PLEASE?
RIGHT NOW. HURRY, HURRY.
HURRY UP. LIKE, RUN.
RUN, RUN, RUN. COME ON.
I'M ALWAYS TYING THE LOOSE ENDS FOR EVERYONE.
NOW I CANNOT.
HALIBUT NOW, OKAY?
ONE HALIBUT FOR THIS ORDER.
THIS IS ONE OF THEM FOR TABLE TWO?
GOT THE HALIBUT READY? IT'S READY.
TAKE THAT. TAKE THAT, TAKE THAT.
ALL RIGHT, LADIES. ENJOY.
LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
OH, IT'S REALLY GOOD.
THE SPECIALS HAVE NEARLY SOLD OUT, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS.
NOW, MARK, WELL, HE'S JUST SWEATING LIKE A PIG,
RUNNING AROUND LIKE A HEADLESS CHICKEN
AND SWEATING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
AS FOR DEAN, I DON'T THINK THIS GUY IS FINDING IT EASY.
HE'S STRUGGLING NOT TO RUN AROUND AFTER HIS OWN STAFF.
CRAZY.
THIS ONE IS THIS ONE.
YOU SURE IT'S TABLE TWO?
YES, YES. JUST GO.
IT'S FINE. TABLE TWO.
THAT'S THE LAST HALIBUTS, RIGHT?
DID, UM, YOU WANT ANY OF THE SPECIALS?
'CAUSE I COULD MAYBE HOLD ONE
'CAUSE I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE GONE.
I DEFINITELY WANT THAT.
OKAY, I'M GONNA TELL THEM TO HOLD THOSE THREE HALIBUTS, OKAY?
UNTIL THEY GET YOUR ORDER, ALL RIGHT?
AURELIO, AURELIO, WILL YOU HOLD THREE OF THE SPECIALS?
ON TABLE FOUR--
OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
THE HALIBUT I'M OUT OF RIGHT NOW; SO SORRY.
YOU SAID YOU STILL HAVE ONE HALIBUT LEFT OR NO?
SO WHAT IS THIS GONNA DO WITH THIS ONE?
MARK, CAN YOU COME HERE FOR A SECOND?
FIRST OF ALL, YOU TOOK AN ORDER.
YOU TOOK A ORDER!
DON'T DO IT!.
MARK SHOULDN'T BE TAKING ORDER.
HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE AN ORDER.
HE'S ALWAYS MAKING MISTAKES.
AND I LET IT OUT.
LISTEN TO ME. I UNDERSTAND.
- I UNDERSTAND. - I'M THE BOSS HERE!
IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR. IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR, DEAN.
I MADE A POOR CHOICE AT THAT MOMENT.
IT'S NOT LIKE I SPIT IN SOMEONE'S SOUP.
ARE YOU GUYS AT A PAUSE OR A STANDSTILL.
NO, WE'RE DONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
DO YOU WANT ANY MORE WINE OR ANYTHING?
I'M GOOD.
THANK YOU. THANKS FOR COMING IN.
YOU'VE GOT MENUS TUCKED UNDER YOUR SWEATY ARMS.
OH, GOD.
OH, MY GOD. OH!
YOU CAN'T TUCK MENUS
UNDER YOUR SWEATY ARMPITS AND THEN HAND THEM OUT.
YEAH, I HEAR YOU. MARK, PLEASE!
WHAT IS HE DOING NOW?
HE HAS MENUS TUCKED UNDER HIS ARMPITS.
GORDON, PLEASE, SEND HIM HOME. SEND HIM--I DON'T NEED HIM!
HE'S YOUR MEMBER OF STAFF.
LEAVE!
MARK HAS THESE VERY, VERY BAD SWEATY ARMPITS,
AND HE PUT THE MENU UNDER HIS ARM.
HE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. IT WAS UGLY.
- GO HOME AND CHANGE THAT SHIRT. - PLEASE, PLEASE.
RUN BACK, OKAY? RUN BACK.
YOU GOT IT. YOU GOT IT. DO SOMETHING.
AS MARK HEADS HOME TO GET A NEW SHIRT,
BACK AT THE RESTAURANT, CUSTOMERS ARE LINING UP,
AND GORDON IS ON A MISSION OF HIS OWN.
- HELLO, SIR. - HOW ARE YOU DOING?
UM, I'VE GOT A FRIEND THAT SWEATS A LOT.
I'M LOOKING FOR A REALLY STRONG ANTIPERSPIRANT.
THANK YOU.
AND I'LL TAKE BOTH OF THESE. THANK YOU, BOSS.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
IT'S A DIFFERENT SHIRT.
IT'S HEAVIER. I'LL PROBABLY SWEAT MORE.
BUT AT LEAST PEOPLE WON'T SEE IT
'CAUSE IT'S A DARK SHIRT, HOPEFULLY.
IF THIS ONE TAKES THE SWEAT,
GORDON WILL PROBABLY KICK MY.
SORRY.
OKAY, THAT'S NOT BAD.
THANK YOU, SIR. OKAY.
HEY, QUICK.
SECRET--MADE FOR A LADY, STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN.
HE'S A FUNNY LITTLE LIMEY BASTARD.
ALL RIGHT, COME HERE, YOU. LET'S GO.
I WOULD LIKE TO THINK YOU'VE LEARNED YOUR LESSON.
LOOK AT ME.
IF HE UNDOES THESE, YES? YES.
I WANT A GUARANTEE THAT YOU'LL RUN YOUR BUSINESS
AND NOT PICK UP THINGS. YES.
BOB, DO THE HONORS, PLEASE. THANK YOU.
ARE YOU SURE? I'M POSITIVE.
DON'T FALL BACK TO YOUR OLD WAYS.
I WON'T.
THANK YOU, OFFICER BOB.
LET'S GO. DEAN, MOVE, HUH?
YES, YES, YES, YES.
COME ON.
NO, NO, NO, AHORITA.
WHEN YOU'RE READY, I CAN TAKE ANOTHER ORDER.
LET ME KNOW.
ONCE DEAN'S CUFFS ARE RELEASED,
HIS MANAGERIAL SKILLS ARE PUT TO THE TEST.
NO WAY.
OH, MY GOD. THAT IS HAIR.
WHAT THE IS THIS?
MAKE ANOTHER ORDER OF PENNE.
IT'S GONNA TAKE LONG.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT TO WAIT.
DO IT NOW.
I'M WAITING TO BOIL THIS MAN.
THEN TAKE THE HOT WATER FROM HERE.
MAN, TAKE IT EASY. RELAX.
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT EASY.
RELAX.
JUST TAKE IT OUT OF THERE.
I JUST WANT AURELIO
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.
I NEEDED TO BE THE BOSS. I NEEDED TO ACTUALLY DO MY JOB.
I DON'T WANT TO COOK. I WANT YOU TO COOK!
JUST LISTEN TO ME!
GO TO THE BACK. DON'T STAY HERE.
I'M GONNA STAY HERE, AND YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT I'M ASKING.
JUST DO IT. GO TO THE BACK.
WHAT A ATTITUDE.
AFTER ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING DINNER SERVICE
COMES TO AN END...
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
GORDON TRIES TO MAKE SENSE
OF ONE OF THE MOST BIZARRE EVENINGS HE'S EVER WITNESSED.
THE GOOD NEWS FIRST.
WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF ANNOUNCING THE SPECIALS,
THE HALIBUT SOLD OUT.
DEAN, TONIGHT SHOWED SIGNIFICANT SIGNS,
YEAH, OF BECOMING A BETTER MANAGER.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO HANDCUFF YOU
IN ORDER TO GET THAT OUT OF YOU.
YEP.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM STILL IN THIS RESTAURANT IS THE FOOD.
THE FEEDBACK IS THE FOOD IS BLAND, BORING,
AND BARELY MEDIOCRE.
TOMORROW WE ARE GONNA RELAUNCH THIS RESTAURANT.
I WANT PEOPLE TO SAY
THAT SANTE, YES, IS THE HEALTHY RESTAURANT
WHERE THE FOOD TASTES GREAT!
COMING UP...
WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!
A CRISIS IN THE KITCHEN PUSHES DEAN OVER THE EDGE...
PISSED OFF!
AND AURELIO OUT THE DOOR.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT...
AURELIO!
ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES.
IF THERE WERE EVER A RESTAURANT THAT NEEDED A MAKEOVER,
IT WAS SANTE LA BREA.
AND GORDON'S CREW WORKED THROUGH THE NIGHT TO PULL IT OFF.
EXCITED? BIG, BIG, BIG DAY TODAY.
TAKE OFF YOUR BLINDFOLDS.
THE NEW SANTE LA BREA--
CLEAN, FRESH, AND GREEN.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
WE DE-CLUTTERED THE CANOPY-- INVITING, FRESH.
HERE WE GO--OUTSIDE PATIO. RIGHT, COME THROUGH.
LOOK, NO DIRTY WHITE CURTAINS,
FRESH SHADES, HAND-PAINTED BLINDS, NEW BENCHES.
OH, THIS IS COMFORTABLE, MAN.
LOOK AT THE COLOR OF IT-- NICE, NEW, VIBRANT.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE DREAM MATERIALIZED.
EVERYTHING I WAS DREAMING ABOUT JUST CAME FLASHING IN MY FACE.
WHAT A CHANGE; WHAT A VIBRANT,
SEXY, HEALTHY CHANGE.
AWESOME.
I GOT MOVED TO TEARS SO MUCH
'CAUSE HE'S A BRILLIANT MAN.
SORRY.
READY TO GO INSIDE? YES.
YES?
LOOK AT THIS.
OH, MY GOD.
WE PAINTED THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT.
WE ADDED A BEAUTIFUL MURAL ON THE WALL.
I WAS FLOORED.
I MEAN, IF MY MOUTH COULD UNHOOK,
IT WOULD'VE DONE THAT.
NO MORE TACKY, PLASTIC TABLECLOTHS.
A PROPER, HEALTHY, VIBRANT, FRESH RESTAURANT.
NO CLUTTER.
YOU TWO, JUST DON'T CLUTTER THE PLACE UP AGAIN.
I'M NOT TOUCHING-- THIS IS WHAT L. A. WANTS.
THIS MAKES AN INCREDIBLE STATEMENT.
THEY TOOK WHAT WE HAD, AND THEY MADE IT BETTER AND SMARTER
AND BEAUTIFUL.
NOW THIS. OH, MY GOD.
THE MENU-- ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL.
WHEN YOU COME INTO SOMETHING HEALTHY AND VIBRANT--
- OH,. - OH,
DAD GOT REALLY EMOTIONAL WHEN HE SAW THE NEW MENU.
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE MY DAD HAPPY.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING THROUGH 150 BITS OF CRAP.
IT'S FRESH,
AND IF IT'S NOT FRESH, IT'S NOT ON THERE.
I'M HAPPY FOR YOU. YOU DESERVE IT.
AND YOUR SONS DESERVE IT. THANK YOU, MAN.
NO QUESTION THIS IS A GOOD BEGINNING.
I WOULD NEVER, EVER BE ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT CHEF RAMSAY.
OKAY, ABSORB, HAVE SOME FUN.
AND I'LL SEE YOU IN FIVE, TEN MINUTES, YES?
WELL DONE.
IN PREPARATION FOR THE BIG RELAUNCH,
GORDON INTRODUCES THE STAFF TO THE NEW DISHES.
GONE IS THE BLAND MOGO DUFU AND DRIED-OUT FISH.
IN THEIR PLACE...
WONDERFUL CHILLED TOMATO SOUP,
EGG-WHITE FRITTATA, EGGPLANT, SEA BASS,
CASSOULET, LENTILS,
THE SALADS, AND-- YOUR FAVORITE--THE TOFU, YEAH?
YES. IT'S BEEN GRILLED.
IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT NIGHT SO FAR OF SANTE LA BREA.
MARK, YOU'RE HOSTING TONIGHT.
GREET, SIT THEM DOWN, DON'T TAKE ANY ORDERS.
YOU GOT IT. NO WORRIES.
WELL, DON'T JUST STAND THERE STARING AT THE FOOD.
GET SOME KNIVES AND FORKS AND TASTE IT.
IT WAS AN AMAZING DAY TODAY--
BRAND-NEW RESTAURANT, BRAND-NEW MENU,
BRAND-NEW FEELING, BRAND-NEW MAN.
IT'S RELAUNCH NIGHT
AND TIME FOR THE WORLD PREMIERE OF THE NEW SANTE LA BREA.
HI, HOW ARE YOU GUYS TONIGHT?
WHAT ARE WE DOING? WE OKAY?
I DON'T WANT TO SEE CLUTTER HERE, ALL RIGHT?
I WANT EVERYTHING TO BE CLEAN AT ALL TIMES, OKAY?
HALIBUT, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL.
SEA BASS.
I'D LIKE THE CHEESE APPETIZER. SURE.
THIS MUSHROOM WITH THE CHEESE FIRST
AND THEN THE TUNA AND THE BEET SALAD.
THANK YOU, MAN.
DID YOU DECIDE IF YOU'D LIKE ANY WINE?
THE SANTA BARBARA. THE SANTA BARBARA?
YOU GOT IT. THANK YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BRING WINE?
HE WANTS ME TO SELL WINE, SO I'M TRYING--
DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST TELL THEM, THEN? OKAY.
MARK, ONCE AGAIN, HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO MY INSTRUCTIONS.
THEN HE WAS TAKING AN ORDER.
AND I WANTED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THAT.
- I ALREADY TOLD YOU ONCE. - WHO THE IS IN CHARGE?!
DON'T TAKE AN ORDER!
I WON'T. I WON'T. OKAY, RELAX. I WON'T.
I TOLD YOU ONCE. I'M TELLING YOU AGAIN.
HE TOLD ME TO TAKE DRINKS.
DON'T TAKE AN ORDER.
DEAN IS THE BOSS. DEAN IS THE OWNER.
DEAN'S WORD IS GOLD.
DEAN'S FEELING THE PRESSURE,
AS MORE AND MORE CUSTOMERS ARRIVE AT SANTE.
SO PUT THINGS IN--IN ITS OWN PLACE
AND DON'T EAT, DON'T DRINK, DON'T DO ANYTHING HERE.
THIS IS NOT GOOD, OKAY?
WHENEVER I SEE THAT, I'M GONNA BE PISSED OFF!
AND HIS KITCHEN STAFF IS STARTING TO FEEL IT TOO.
JUST HURRY UP A LITTLE BIT. YOU GOT TO RUN A LITTLE BIT.
JUST HURRY UP A LITTLE.
JUST HURRY UP A LITTLE BIT. I NEED THE FOOD OUT.
I CAN'T DO THOSE TWO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.
JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING.
DO IT FAST.
NO.
WHAT?! WHAT?!
I'M KEEPING IN MIND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,.
- STOP IT! GOOD-BYE! - DAMN IT.
GET THE OUT OF MY LIFE. I'LL DO IT. NEXT.
LET'S GO, BEET SALAD.
BE RIGHT WITH YOU IN A SECOND.
WHERE IS OUR GRILLED CHEESE AND OUR HUMMUS?
DEAN? WHAT?

FED UP WITH DEAN'S NEW MANAGEMENT STYLE,
CHEF AURELIO TAKES OFF
DURING THE RESTAURANT'S MOST IMPORTANT DINNER SERVICE.
AURELIO!
, IT'S RELAUNCH NIGHT. COME ON.
WHAT IN THE?
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE'S GOING LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, GOING SLOWLY.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT.
I SAID, "HURRY UP AND LISTEN TO ME."
- HE DON'T LISTEN. - SO I DON'T CARE.
ENOUGH ALREADY.
IT'S THE END OF THE LINE.
I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
- THE CHEF'S RUN. - DEAN'S GOING CRAZY.
WHAT HAVE I CREATED? A MONSTER.
I SAID, "RUN YOUR BUSINESS."
BUT DON'T START SLAMMING INTO EVERYBODY.
- THE RESTAURANT'S FILLING UP. - THIS GUY'S MAD.
I WANT TO TELL HIM WHO IS DEAN,
YOU KNOW, LIKE, HE'S NOT A GOOD MAN.
COME HERE.
OKAY. NO, NO, NO, BUT LISTEN.
COME HERE. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
THIS IS LAUNCH NIGHT.
I CAN'T BEG-- YOU DO CARE, DON'T YOU?
I CAN'T--I BEGGED YOU ALL MY LIFE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO ME.
AT LEAST PAY ME THE REST OF THE MONEY YOU OWE ME.
THAT'S ALL YOU CARE ABOUT.
I'M NOT GIVING YOU A CENT.
I'M NOT GOING TO WORK WITHOUT PAY.
OKAY, HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU OWED?
HE OWE ME 140 BUCKS. OKAY, HERE, HERE.

GRILL 4 PORTIONS, SO YOU STAY IN FRONT, YEAH?
YEAH.
OUT IN THE DINING ROOM,
CUSTOMERS ARE LEFT WAITING FOR THEIR FOOD.
15 MINUTES ONLY?
I HAVE SOME PEOPLE WAITING HERE FOR LONGER THAN THAT.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS BRAND-NEW. I'M--I WILL--
AND I WAS WATCHING EVERYTHING FALL APART,
NO FOOD COMING OUT.
OUR CUSTOMERS WERE, LIKE, WAITING, HUNGRY,
WAITING, HUNGRY.
WITH A DINING ROOM FULL OF HUNGRY CUSTOMERS,
GORDON TRIES TO SALVAGE THE EVENING.
WE STARTED OFF BADLY, YES?
REALLY BADLY.

EGGPLANT.

OH, YEAH. THAT IS GOOD.
NOW IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE CLOSER TOGETHER.
AND I REALLY LIKE THE SAUCE AND THE VEGETABLES.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
YOU MADE ME FEEL THISMUCH BETTER.
I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS EXPERIENCE, ABOUT MYSELF,
WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF, WHAT I CAN DO.
I LEARNED HOW TO MANAGE THIS PLACE.

AFTER A LESS THAN SPECTACULAR START,
THE STAFF AT SANTE LA BREA RALLIES
AND PULLS OFF A SUCCESSFUL RELAUNCH.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
WE'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK.
