00:00Tonight on Kitchen Nightmares...
00:02My business is about to close!
00:04...Gordon is in Hollywood...
00:05Wake up, you idiots!
00:09...to save a restaurant that is so unbelievable...
00:12Sir, put your hands in front of you.
00:14...it feels more like the set of a Hollywood movie...
00:17...starring a desperate owner...
00:19There is a boss here!
00:21So don't argue about everything!
00:23...his angry son...
00:24Shut the up! Stop picking at me!
00:26...and a manager who just loves to decorate.
00:29I like to make pretty and nice.
00:31I don't respect more.
00:32I mean, what else does the guy do?
00:33He's an interior decorator, for God's sake.
00:36This movie is part tragedy...
00:38Congratulations.
00:39It's a f***ing mischrace.
00:40...part comedy...
00:42Mate, I don't like it, but you clearly do.
00:44Good boy.
00:45...and part drama...
00:46What the f*** is wrong with you?
00:48Don't f***ing start with me!
00:50...but for Gordon Ramsay, it's a shocking horror epic...
00:53Ma, what's the matter?
00:54...that just might be his toughest challenge yet.
00:57Whenever I see that, I'm gonna be best off!
01:00Tonight, it's the world premiere of Sante La Brea.
01:04The City of Angels.
01:06Famous for its movie stars, stunning coastline, and healthy lifestyle.
01:11The ideal place to have a healthy restaurant.
01:18But in spite of its location, Sante La Brea is in critical condition.
01:24It's chewy.
01:25It's like meat, but not.
01:26Dean, the owner, and his two sons, Arthur and Sammy, have been running Sante for nearly
01:3110 years.
01:32Dry red wine.
01:33So what does that mean?
01:34I don't really drink, bro.
01:35But business has dwindled to almost nothing.
01:36And this father-son team is in desperate need of Gordon Ramsay's help.
01:40I'm the owner.
01:41I am the cook.
01:42I'm the janitor.
01:43I also do all the maintenance.
01:44The water's the one.
01:45With a thin, very thin, very thin, very thin, very thin.
01:46But in spite of its location, Sante La Brea is in critical condition.
01:47It's chewy.
01:48It's like meat, but not.
01:49Dean, the owner, and his two sons, Arthur and Sammy, have been running Sante for nearly
01:5010 years.
01:51Dry red wine.
01:52So what does that mean?
01:53I don't really drink, bro.
01:54But business has dwindled to almost nothing.
01:56You want to take his table on?
01:57Maybe dad's trip.
01:58Hell no.
01:59You want it to be good, right?
02:00This place is running, like, without a captain.
02:01I don't think my dad can really be a manager.
02:03How about you just man up, man?
02:04Sack up and do this , man.
02:05I always wanted to be surrounded with good, intelligent, strong people.
02:10I needed help, like, genuine help.
02:13I had a hard time.
02:14I had a hard time.
02:15I had a hard time.
02:16I had a hard time.
02:17I had a hard time.
02:18I had a hard time.
02:19I had a hard time.
02:20I had a hard time.
02:21I had a hard time.
02:22I had a hard time.
02:23I had a hard time.
02:24I needed help.
02:25Like, genuine help.
02:26I hired Mark about six months ago.
02:28There's a lot of food here.
02:29I don't know who .
02:30My role here is a little bit undefined.
02:31It was really no job title.
02:32I'll be the hostess.
02:33I'm the best hostess.
02:34We don't know.
02:35We don't know what he does.
02:36I think of Mark more of the interior decorator.
02:38I want to make it feel like a nice, welcoming home.
02:41I do what needs to be done.
02:42I treat it as though it's mine.
02:45I've worked here since I was 15 years old.
02:48I don't remember the last time it was, like, busy.
02:50Just hold your breath.
02:51It's only 7 o'clock.
02:52The nightmare is the fact that I'm not making money.
02:55My father is in at least $200,000 debt.
02:58I owe everybody.
02:59I owe the landlord taxes, vendors, short on my mortgage.
03:03It's really sad.
03:04I gave it my all.
03:06It's my heart and my soul and my time.
03:09Everything is in jeopardy.
03:12I stand to lose everything.
03:14I think we need Chef Ramsay's help because we don't know what the we're doing.
03:24Everyone at Santa La Brea is getting ready for Chef Ramsay's arrival.
03:27I'm nervous and excited about meeting Chef Ramsay.
03:30It's like being awake in a dream.
03:32Aurelio didn't show up.
03:33Aurelio didn't show up again.
03:35But owner Dean has just received upsetting news.
03:38He locked his phone and his home phone is nowhere else.
03:41Aurelio.
03:42Baby, where are you, man?
03:43I need you.
03:44His head chef, Aurelio, is nowhere to be found.
03:47Come over, okay?
03:48I really need you today.
03:49Okay, bye.
03:50Aurelio is a no-show today.
03:51So it's like, uh, what else is new?
03:56I'm a little bit nervous to meet Chef Ramsay.
04:00I heard the guy's like 6'2", like he's a monster.
04:06La Brea Avenue, one of the busiest streets in L.A.
04:08and home to hundreds of successful restaurants.
04:10One thing's for sure, the location is not an issue.
04:13I'm about to find out what is.
04:15My God.
04:17How are you?
04:18Chef Ramsay.
04:19This is Dean, yes?
04:20Yes, it is.
04:21Good to see you.
04:22Good to see you, too.
04:23This is different.
04:24Yes.
04:25This went up to my place.
04:26It is different.
04:27Give me a, uh...
04:28A little tour?
04:29A little tour, yes.
04:30Okay.
04:31This has been remodeled lately, not too long ago.
04:32And I just put that in together.
04:34It's supposed to be weed grass.
04:35Geez, you've got all grass growing at the corner.
04:36Yes, weed grass growing.
04:37Oh, you grew that?
04:38Yes, we do.
04:42Actually...
04:43Is that there?
04:49Excellent.
04:50Okay.
04:51You've got to...
04:52Oh, .
04:53I'm not going to give it to you.
04:55Oh, me.
04:57Huh?
04:58There's something about Chef Ramsay.
05:00It just freezes a part of your brain.
05:03So the food, tell me about the food.
05:06Is it all vegan, vegetarian?
05:08No.
05:09No.
05:10We have chicken and fish.
05:11Chicken and fish.
05:12Yes, we do.
05:13I thought it was vegan.
05:14Everything in the kitchen is made in two versions.
05:16Either vegan versions or non-vegan versions.
05:18How many chefs you got in the brigade?
05:19What a .
05:20I have...
05:21Actually, I have none today.
05:23My chef didn't show up.
05:25Is he sick?
05:26Is he...
05:27I don't know.
05:28He's just vanished.
05:29Everyone takes advantage of me.
05:30I'm not really making money.
05:31I'm actually spending money for last year.
05:33What's the problem with the restaurant?
05:35Straight off, what is it?
05:36Really, money...
05:37Money is the issue here.
05:38Mark spent $5,000 on these things.
05:40He bought $5,000 worth of product.
05:43So Mark's your partner?
05:44Mark is not my partner.
05:45He's just lending me $10,000.
05:47Mark is just a big talker.
05:49He just talks too much.
05:51He makes many ideas he doesn't follow up with.
05:54Nice to meet you.
05:55Likewise.
05:56Good to see you.
05:57I've heard so much about you.
05:58Explain to me what you do.
06:00Right now, I've been trying to make the place just a little more hip, a little more fresh,
06:04a little more modern.
06:05Right.
06:06Okay, tell me about the design.
06:07What are you...
06:08What's the vision here?
06:09I want it to be like no other place you've ever seen.
06:11You're definitely, definitely not wrong there.
06:14That's for sure.
06:17I'm dying to get something to eat.
06:19Get up to speed.
06:20I've tasted some grass.
06:21Do you...
06:22Do you want to pick...
06:23I'm a little bit hot.
06:24I'm gonna sit outside on the terrace and...
06:25And I'll bring you a menu.
06:26Yeah, get some fresh air.
06:28Nice to meet you, Mark.
06:29Nice to meet you too.
06:30Really, really, really.
06:32Sweaty hands.
06:33Your hands are sweaty.
06:34Mine?
06:35Yeah.
06:36I'm very hot.
06:37I'm very hot.
06:38And I only wore this for you and it's hot, so I can change it now.
06:40Excellent.
06:41He is H-O-T hot.
06:42Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.
06:45All righty.
06:46Good afternoon, Chef Ramsay.
06:47Sammy, how are you, buddy?
06:48I'm all right, man.
06:49We've got a couple glasses of water.
06:51What can I get, Pete?
06:52I'll go for the patty melt, the turkey, please.
06:53Nice.
06:54Patty melt.
06:55Okay.
06:56And then I'm fascinated, which I've never come across before,
06:58the mogadufu.
06:59What is that?
07:00It's like a...
07:01It's like a stir-fry, mixed vegetable stir-fry with black bean sauce.
07:04It's a little bit spicy.
07:05Okay.
07:06And then I'll finish off with the blackened salmon.
07:09Brilliant.
07:10All right.
07:11Got it.
07:12Wow.
07:13Mono tofu.
07:14Mono tofu.
07:15Orale wey!
07:16A grande order, man.
07:17Come on.
07:18Hey.
07:19What's the dog's name, please?
07:20Tubbs.
07:21Tubbs.
07:22Look at him.
07:23Turkey patty melt.
07:24Turkey patty melt.
07:25Absolutely.
07:27Very well.
07:31What is he eating right now?
07:34He's looking like he's picking through it like it's dog .
07:38Turkey melts.
07:39My God.
07:43This restaurant prides itself on being healthy.
07:45That does not look healthy.
07:47That is dry.
07:49And they are disgusting.
07:51Come here.
07:52Look.
07:53Smell.
07:54Tubbs.
07:55There you go.
07:56Little bit more, Tubbs.
07:57There you go, buddy.
07:58He's feeding the turkey patty melt to the dog, too.
08:03I saw him feeding the burger to the dog.
08:06First of all, I'm so glad the dog ate it.
08:08I was so glad because I thought if the dog doesn't eat this burger, we're .
08:11This here is a mobu dofu.
08:13Oh, come on.
08:16Oh, come on.
08:17This is a joke.
08:19He doesn't like it.
08:21Didn't know mobu dofu means in Chinese.
08:23That's for sure.
08:24He's looking laughing his ass off.
08:26He's laughing his ass off.
08:27He's laughing his ass off.
08:28He's ripping.
08:29Rice cooked to hell.
08:31And I'm stuck here.
08:38I'm a central abreur.
08:39I don't do food.
08:42Oh, come on.
08:44That is shocking.
08:46My God.
08:51That's what he was ripping apart.
08:53Oh, that's horrible.
08:55Maybe he can get through to Dean about the food.
08:59You can smell it.
09:00You can taste it.
09:01And this is the salmon here.
09:03Blackened salmon.
09:04Blackened salmon, absolutely.
09:05Okay.
09:06Very blackened.
09:07It's dry, and it tastes way too fishy for salmon.
09:21Like it's been in a refrigeration unit
09:26that's not even properly cool.
09:30Disgusting.
09:31God, the food is bad.
09:37How was it?
09:40Just in terms of the presentation, it looked like a dog's dinner.
09:44Mmm.
09:45Then you get to taste it.
09:47Mm-hmm.
09:48It's hideous.
09:49Healthy food.
09:50Yeah.
09:51Does not have to look like and taste crap.
09:53I'm really sorry.
09:54I agree with you.
09:55So...
09:56Oh, God.
09:58Oh, .
10:00Ugh.
10:01Not that bad.
10:02Show me where the salmon is.
10:03It was smelling fishy.
10:05Unbelievable.
10:06Fresh salmon.
10:08Oh, dear.
10:09That's wild salmon.
10:10When did it come in?
10:11Yesterday.
10:12Yesterday?
10:13My salmon was very fishy.
10:15You got all that in there yesterday?
10:16Yes.
10:17Yeah.
10:18So you got the salmon and the turkey in the same container melting.
10:21So the chicken comes in fresh?
10:23Yes, it does.
10:24I guess this is extra.
10:26You know, whenever we have it.
10:29Why are you lying?
10:30No, I'm not lying to you.
10:31This is not exactly what I expected to find in a healthy restaurant.
10:35What else is in here?
10:36When Chef Ramsay found all the stuff that's been there for a long time.
10:41It's rotten.
10:42It was very disturbing to me.
10:45Your food is about as healthy as these vegetables.
10:48I didn't realize that nobody looks in the refrigerator.
10:51Were you going to serve this tonight?
10:52No.
10:53All of a sudden, Dean, there's a lot of food in there that you're not serving.
10:56When I smell , I go straight to the juggler.
11:00I felt destroyed.
11:02It was unbelievable.
11:03I feel like breaking down completely.
11:05I let the chef take care of the refrigerator.
11:10I don't look into it.
11:11This is your business.
11:13Yes, it is.
11:15It is true.
11:17There's nothing for me to say.
11:20The biggest problem in this restaurant is you.
11:23Congratulations.
11:25It's a f***ing disgrace.
11:32Coming up...
11:34Mardo Dufo is a pile of s***!
11:36Gordon transforms Dean...
11:38What the f***ing idiot!
11:40...and gets him to take control of his business.
11:43There is a boss here!
11:45Even if I'm wrong, just do it!
11:48...but there is still chaos in the kitchen.
11:50You took a f***ing motor!
11:52What the f*** is wrong with you?
11:53Don't f***ing start with me!
11:55Can manager Mark take the heat?
11:58And then later, one shocking surprise...
12:01Sir, put your hands in front of you.
12:02...that will change Santa La Brea forever.
12:06After Gordon discovered the deplorable conditions of the food storage...
12:14It's rotten!
12:15...owner Dean is devastated.
12:17I mean, it's okay if I sit down?
12:19Dad got very emotional.
12:22I felt like the hopelessness kind of feeling from him, you know, in a way.
12:26It was really f***ing sad.
12:27What happened today, man, will not happen again...
12:29...because we got Mr. Gordon on the other side.
12:32Yeah, you f***ing Ryan will never happen again.
12:34And all these things are supposed to be dumped by f***ing Aurelio yesterday.
12:38Look at it, there he is!
12:39Where have you been?
12:40I think it rained that somewhere.
12:42Two hours late, Chef Aurelio finally shows up for work.
12:46You better f***ing deal with this like a man.
12:48That's all I gotta say.
12:50What happened to all the stuff inside the refrigerator is all bad and moldy and f***ing stuff like that?
12:56We should've dumped it before.
12:57Do you remember a plan that's supposed to be dumped?
12:59You know?
13:00It's okay.
13:01Who cares?
13:02Dude, we had a f***ed up situation today, man.
13:05Can we even trust this guy?
13:06Can we trust you anymore or what?
13:07I mean...
13:08I don't know.
13:09No, man.
13:10We trust him.
13:13Take him back with open arms.
13:15Yeah, seriously.
13:16It's the cancer you're talking about.
13:17We can't do this anymore.
13:18My dad's got no f***ing, man.
13:19He's got no f***ing in terms of this.
13:20He can't get rid of him.
13:21Can you get inside and look and see what's going on, please?
13:24Take care of everything.
13:25I'm distressed.
13:26You know, I can't serve any food without him.
13:27I'm stuck here.
13:28I have no choice.
13:29I gotta keep him because I wouldn't have no one otherwise.
13:32I see the tears falling, Dad.
13:33I really wanna cry.
13:34Sorry, man.
13:35Give me a hug, man.
13:36Show me some love.
13:37Let's hear some fatherly love.
13:38All this chaos, all these confusions.
13:39This is the worst thing that can happen to a restaurant owner, actually.
13:43It's kind of clinging to me.
13:44It makes me feel bad.
13:45Four for dinner?
13:46Yes.
13:47Come on with me, please.
13:48Judas Burns it is.
13:49And for yourself, sir.
13:50Uh, the saffron?
13:51Uh, the saffron?
13:52Now that Chef Aurelio is here for dinner, Gordon has an opportunity to go to dinner.
13:53Oh, the saffron.
13:54All this chaos, all these confusions.
13:57This is the worst thing that can happen to a restaurant owner, actually.
14:00It's kind of clinging to me.
14:01It makes me feel bad.
14:02Four for dinner?
14:03Yes.
14:04Come on with me, please.
14:05Judas Burns it is.
14:06And for yourself, sir.
14:07Uh, the saffron?
14:08Now that Chef Aurelio is here for dinner, Gordon has an opportunity to see if the restaurant
14:23food is any better when the chef is around.
14:26Did you see the fridge?
14:28Yeah.
14:29Yeah.
14:30Anything to say, or...?
14:31No, I don't have anything.
14:32Nothing to say.
14:33It's my fault.
14:34He knows it's my fault, I guess.
14:35It is, it is my responsibility after all.
14:38I'm just a cook.
14:40I'm not in charge.
14:41I can do whatever I want here, so, you know, that's why I never go somewhere else.
14:46I need pans, dude.
14:47Pans?
14:48I need pans.
14:49Do you have some more pans ready?
14:50No.
14:51The chef doesn't put the stuff back in the fridge?
14:53They, they didn't, you know, they got busy, so...
14:56They got busy?
14:58Why are you scared of the chefs?
15:00Uh, because if they leave, nobody is gonna be served.
15:04Aurelio is one of those entities in my life that I can live with and I can live without.
15:09I'm tired, dude.
15:11We have, uh, Mediterranean platter.
15:14It's like hummus, tabbouleh, pita.
15:16That's great.
15:17I like it.
15:18It's too heavy.
15:19It's too spread.
15:20It's not the worst.
15:21It's not the best, though.
15:23It's not the best, though.
15:24It's not good.
15:25It's not good.
15:26It's not good.
15:27It's number one.
15:28It's an hour into service, and dinner conversation at this restaurant is primarily about the poor
15:32food.
15:33Bite my pork.
15:34Whatever.
15:35Eat a minute.
15:36Will you, will you bite this and tell me this is good?
15:37Okay.
15:38Will you bite this?
15:39It's pretty all disgusting.
15:40Maybe I should get them a recipe and have to make them nice.
15:44Excited about eating healthily this evening?
15:46No.
15:47We're not very happy with it.
15:48No.
15:49Right.
15:50It's not very good.
15:51Damn.
15:52Thank you so much.
15:53Having heard the general sentiment of the customers, Gordon heads back to the kitchen
15:57to get to the root of the problem.
16:02Oh, my God.
16:04Oh, my God.
16:06What is that?
16:08What is that?
16:09I didn't know it together.
16:10Oh, my God.
16:11Unduck.
16:12It's duck.
16:13But it unduck.
16:14It's fake duck.
16:15Fake duck.
16:16So you call it what?
16:18We call it unduck.
16:19Unduck.
16:20Unduck.
16:21Right now, I feel like I'm getting completely .
16:23Is that popular?
16:24Yeah, it is.
16:25Actually, a lot of people ask for that, too.
16:29Unduck.
16:30Duck.
16:31Duck.
16:34That's fake fish.
16:35Fake fish.
16:39And it looks like fish, and tastes like fish, and it's got seaweed on the outside.
16:45We have everything that's on.
16:48This is incredible.
16:49So far, I've had unducked, unfished, and unbelievable.
16:53What a mess.
16:54Not my favorite.
16:55No.
16:56Hey, God bless Los Angeles.
16:59You're joking, aren't you?
17:02After a disappointing dinner service...
17:05Thank you so much.
17:06I hope to see you guys again.
17:07Thanks again.
17:08Have a great week.
17:09Gordon confronts the staff with the harsh reality of the situation.
17:14I'm somewhat confused.
17:16Nobody seems to take and accept responsibility.
17:21Everybody's a free-for-all.
17:22No rules.
17:23No one's fear for the job.
17:25Just a lack of care.
17:26I think a manager needs to make sure that things happen.
17:29All these things that are unattended to, I have to take blame for.
17:32It's all me.
17:33For some reason, people are not listening to me.
17:35My management style is not functional.
17:37It's not working.
17:38Let me tell you, yeah, what the problem is here at Sante.
17:43Lack of management, yeah, that's clear.
17:45That's happening.
17:46But let me tell you the biggest problem here.
17:48The biggest problem here is the food.
17:51Not just the food.
17:52It's the .
17:54Everything's a gimmick.
17:55Un-chicken, un-done.
17:57Your philosophy is not healthy style.
18:00The I uncovered in the freezer.
18:02The discovery in the fridge.
18:04You've got grass hanging from the ceiling.
18:06It's like Lord of the Flies up there.
18:08Have you seen the hovering around there?
18:11I am not going any further until this place is clean.
18:16And I mean spotless.
18:19If a health inspector had witnessed what I witnessed
18:22just in one of the fridges, bang, game over.
18:26Clean this pigsty.
18:29This place does not deserve an A.
18:32And the only thing you're getting from me tonight is that.
18:35An F.
18:37There, it's staying on.
18:40And guys, I'll take it down tomorrow, personally, yeah?
18:44When it's up to the standard of an A.
18:46Now move your asses.
18:53There, it's staying on.
18:56After giving Sante La Brea an F for their filthy kitchen.
19:00I'll take it down tomorrow, personally, yeah?
19:03When it's up to the standard of an A.
19:05Now move your asses.
19:07The staff worked through the night.
19:09The flies coming out of this one.
19:11Cleaning every inch of the restaurant.
19:13I certainly wasn't going to have Gordon come through and say,
19:16What is the matter here?
19:18Did you not listen?
19:19A thorough cleaning is the first step that Sante La Brea
19:23has taken in the right direction.
19:25But before Gordon can change the menu or the food,
19:28he needs to change its owner.
19:31Good morning.
19:32Good morning, sir.
19:33How are you feeling?
19:34Very good, thank you so much.
19:35Tough day yesterday.
19:36Yes, it was very tough.
19:37Really tough, but tougher than I expected.
19:38What worries me is that the burden is on these.
19:42You're not letting go.
19:44You're not releasing any of that pressure.
19:46It must be so frustrating inside.
19:49Because nobody's listening, Dean.
19:51That's the problem.
19:52The chef's not even listening.
19:53You employ them.
19:54They don't employ you.
19:56You have to know how to talk to these staff.
20:00You're correct.
20:01Yeah.
20:02We're now standing on the top of the canyon.
20:06Nobody, yeah, can hear us.
20:09So what I want you to do is let it out.
20:13Let's start off with Mark first, yeah?
20:16What have you got to say to him?
20:19Get the out of my life.
20:22I don't want you around.
20:23Yeah.
20:24That's it.
20:25That's how you tell staff.
20:28Pathetic.
20:29Here we go.
20:30Mark, understand that you're here to run the restaurant, yeah?
20:33Not to run crap up my walls.
20:35Start listening to me now.
20:37Chef Aridio, if you ever leave my kitchen,
20:41that state again, look for a new job, you little .
20:46Aridio.
20:47What?
20:48What?
20:49What's going on with you?
20:50Didn't I tell you to go ahead and clean the refrigerator?
20:54.
20:56It's not difficult.
20:57It's business.
20:59You have to get a grip before it's too late.
21:02I want to know from you, face to face,
21:05that you are going to accept responsibility,
21:07and more importantly, take control.
21:10I've got to hear you.
21:11It is hard for me to let go,
21:13but, you know, I have to take Chef Ramsay's advice.
21:16Mark!
21:17That's better.
21:18Good.
21:19Listen, no more , no more around,
21:22no more whatever it is that you bring,
21:24no more punctuation, and don't put the mirror here.
21:27I want to put that there.
21:29Just do it for me this time, please.
21:30Just this time.
21:31What the hell?
21:32No more, okay?
21:33No more.
21:34Excellent.
21:35Aridio.
21:36Give it to him, you limp .
21:37Aridio, what the ?
21:39I know you for so long, and I know your family.
21:41I was stupid enough one time, three times,
21:44four times, six times.
21:45Good.
21:46Ten times I took you back, man.
21:47Who the is in charge in this kitchen?
21:50Good.
21:51Well done.
21:52Now, that sounds like a boss.
21:54It feels great to just scream out and say those things.
21:57I'm not used to doing that.
21:59Wake up, you idiots!
22:02Excellent.
22:03Good.
22:04Hey.
22:05Gordon right now kind of gave me a little bit more confidence.
22:07I'm ready now to go ahead and do my job a lot better.
22:08How do you feel?
22:09Great.
22:10Having completed the exercise, Dean returns to Sante and puts Gordon's lesson into action.
22:17Unfortunately, it's with his son.
22:18What the hell happened to all my apples here?
22:19Oh, please, man.
22:20I took the out.
22:21Did I want to see the end of the bottles here?
22:24I took them out, I'm not putting them back.
22:25Don't talk to you like this anymore, okay?
22:26Don't even if I'm wrong.
22:28Dude, so you were...
22:29My dad exploded, it was a Kodak moment, man.
22:30There is a boss here!
22:31Oh, this is a boss here!
22:32No, no, no!
22:33No, no, no, no, no.
22:34No, no, no, no, no.
22:35No.
22:36It's okay.
22:37Go ahead, be okay.
22:38I know I'm a moron.
22:39No, no, no, no, no.
22:40No, no, no.
22:41No, no, no, no.
22:42Oh, no, no, no.
22:43No, no, no, no.
22:44No, no, no.
22:45My dad exploded. It was a Kodak moment, man.
22:48There is a boss here, so don't argue about everything.
22:52Just do it. It's my . I'm responsible.
22:56He laid it out, man, like a little bellowed of flavor.
23:00It was awesome. It was great.
23:02At the end of your sentences, say,
23:04but I'll do whatever you want, sir.
23:06Okay, mashing.
23:07Am I the boss here or not? You are.
23:09Then listen, sir. Listen to me. That's it. Mashing.
23:12After Dean released his frustration, everything settled down,
23:16just in time for Gordon to inspect the kitchen.
23:19Good. Peppers? Fresh, yes?
23:22Fresh, it is. Good.
23:23Gordon came in, and he kind of checked everything out,
23:25and, yeah, everything was good.
23:26It was clean, top-notch.
23:28Welcome back, yes? Yes.
23:30Keep it there. Yes. Yes?
23:33Thank God the F did not stay more than, you know,
23:36ten hours overnight.
23:38Never been.
23:39With the kitchen now in proper working condition,
23:42Gordon turns his attention to the food.
23:44Two specials on the menu tonight, yes?
23:46First dish is a halibut.
23:47We're gonna cook it in the marinade.
23:49Second dish, salad of shrimp, local shrimp.
23:52It's really nice to see Chef Ramsay be able to take his je ne saquois
23:56and bring it down to our level, like we're doing ghetto Gordon.
23:59Shrimp dotted around.
24:00It's a celebration of California.
24:02And now on halibut, two vibrant, straightforward dishes.
24:07It's 30 minutes before dinner service,
24:10and although everything appears to be moving in the right direction,
24:13Gordon gathers the group for an important meeting.
24:16Now, Dean, yesterday there were some serious infractions in this restaurant.
24:22Yes.
24:23Spalled food, yeah, problems throughout, yes?
24:27Period. Do what you have to do.
24:30Sir, put your hands in front of you, palms together.
24:39Okay.
24:44Do what you have to do.
24:47Sir, put your hands in front of you, palms together.
24:51I had, whoa, like what?
24:53What the heck is that? What did I do?
25:00And I said, where did I break the law?
25:01It was a scary moment.
25:02I am fed up, up to here, with you walking around,
25:07picking up after your chef, running around after your sons, after Mark.
25:12Tonight, you're not doing that.
25:15You're not touching anything tonight.
25:18You're gonna tell them exactly what you're gonna do.
25:19Run your business vocally.
25:22You're not getting arrested, you silly pillie.
25:24Hey, relax. Look at him. He's about to cry.
25:27I see what you mean.
25:29Yes, that's right.
25:30My dad's supposed to be a manager.
25:32He's supposed to be verbally conducting the situation,
25:36as opposed to, like, physically cleaning up after people.
25:39Thank you, Bob.
25:41Okay, first table's just about to arrive.
25:43Let's go. Good luck, by the way.
25:45Try not to show their handcuffs. Keep them tucked in there, yes?
25:47Let's go.
25:48Okay, guys.
25:53I'm supposed to be the boss, so I can't help you, okay?
25:55Just do a little bit if you can.
25:56I'm very, very excited about tonight,
25:58and I am looking forward to see this place swamped.
26:01Now I'm gonna try not to let things go out of hand.
26:05Good evening. Nice to see you.
26:06Come through, please. Hi, how are you?
26:07Sorry to keep you waiting.
26:08This is Mark, our hostess for the evening.
26:09Hi. Hi.
26:10How are you? Nice to see you.
26:12I got you guys some beer and wine tonight.
26:14Push the specials, yes? Yes.
26:16Now, let me explain the specials real briefly.
26:18We have a spiced halibut, which is marinated in fresh yogurt,
26:21and then we also have a shrimp salad.
26:23The specials are really good, um, and they'll be gone quickly.
26:26I'll have a special, the halibut special.
26:27You got it.
26:28Okay, this is for table two.
26:29Two halibut specials.
26:31Showtime. I can't clap.
26:35Did you want something to drink?
26:36I'll get Moretti and...
26:38Moretti, Moretti, Moretti, Moretti, Moretti, Moretti.
26:40Oh, he was tricking again.
26:44Oh, no. Use a napkin.
26:46It was a warm night here in L.A.
26:48I thought, oh, I'll be smart. I'll wear a light shirt.
26:51Hi, ladies. How are you?
26:52Good. How are you?
26:53Did you guys have a reservation?
26:54He's touching them with his sweaty palms.
26:55Don't touch the customers.
26:57I wasn't sweating that much,
26:58but the shirt was catching all of my sweat.
27:02Oh.
27:03I don't like wearing deodorant. What can I tell you?
27:05Damp it down or dry or absorb.
27:07I don't know. It's all leaking over.
27:08Oh, my God.
27:09Oh, .
27:17Don't touch anything.
27:19Can I help it?
27:21It was touching to have to be in handcuffs
27:23and just trying to work a normal way.
27:25What is this doing here?
27:26Can you take it to the front, please?
27:27Right now. Hurry, hurry. Hurry up.
27:29Like, run. Run, run, run. Come on.
27:33I'm always tying the loose ends for everyone.
27:36Now, I cannot.
27:37Okay, halibut now, okay?
27:38One halibut for this order.
27:40This is one of them for table two.
27:43Get the halibut ready?
27:44This is ready.
27:45Take that. Take that. Take that.
27:48All right, ladies. Enjoy.
27:50It looks beautiful.
27:52Oh, it's really good.
27:54These specials have nearly sold out,
27:55which is great news.
27:56Now, Mark, well, he's just sweating like a pig,
27:58running around like a headless chicken,
27:59and sweating all over the place.
28:01As for Dean, I don't think this guy's finding it easy.
28:04He's struggling not to run around after his own staff.
28:07Crazy.
28:08This one is this one.
28:09You sure of table two?
28:10Yes, yes. Just go.
28:12It's fine. Table two.
28:14That's the last halibut, right?
28:16Do you want any of the specials?
28:18Because I could maybe hold one,
28:19because I think they're going to be gone.
28:21Yes.
28:23Okay, I'm going to tell them to hold those three halibuts, okay,
28:25until they get your order, all right?
28:27Aurelio, Aurelio, will you hold three of the specials
28:30on table four?
28:30Give me a ticket, please.
28:31Okay. Give me a ticket.
28:32All right.
28:33The halibut I'm out of right now.
28:35I'm so sorry.
28:37You said you still have one halibut left or no more?
28:39No more, no more, no more.
28:40So what is this going to do with this one?
28:42Quick.
28:43Mark, can you come here for a second?
28:45First of all, you took an order?
28:47You took a order!
28:49Don't do it!
28:51Mark should be taking an order.
28:54He doesn't know how to take an order.
28:56He's always making mistakes, and I let it out.
28:59Just listen to me.
29:00I'm the boss here.
29:02I understand. It's crystal clear.
29:04It's crystal clear, Dean.
29:05Crystal clear.
29:05I made a poor choice at that moment.
29:07It's not like I spit in someone's soup.
29:09Are you guys at a pause or a stance?
29:11No, I'm done.
29:12Thank you so much.
29:13Is there any more wine or anything?
29:15I'm good.
29:16Thank you. Thanks for coming in.
29:18You've got menus tucked under your sweaty arms.
29:20Oh, my God.
29:22Oh, my God.
29:24Oh, you can't tuck menus under your sweaty armpits
29:27and then hand them out.
29:28Yeah, I hear you.
29:29Mark, please.
29:31What is he doing now?
29:33Menus tucked under his armpits.
29:35Gordon, please, send him home.
29:37Send him. I don't need him.
29:38It's your f***ing memory stops.
29:40It's the f***ing house to leave.
29:42Mark has this very, very bad sweaty armpits
29:45and then he put the menu under his armpits.
29:47You have to take care of that.
29:48It was ugly.
29:49Go home and change that shirt to the f***, please, please.
29:52Just run back, okay? Run back.
29:53You got it. You got it.
29:54Do something.
30:00As Mark heads home to get a new shirt,
30:03back at the restaurant, customers are lining up
30:05and Gordon is on a mission of his own.
30:08Hello, sir.
30:09I've got a friend that sweats a lot.
30:11I'm looking for a really strong antiperspirant,
30:13but really strong.
30:15And I'll take both of these.
30:16Thank you, boss.
30:18It's a different shirt.
30:19It's heavier. I'll probably sweat more,
30:21but at least people won't see it,
30:23because it's a dark shirt.
30:23Hopefully, if this one takes the sweat,
30:26Gordon will if I kick my f***ing ass.
30:28Sorry.
30:29Yeah, yeah.
30:31Okay, two seconds.
30:33That's it?
30:34Two seconds.
30:35Okay, now stop, sir.
30:37Thank you, sir.
30:38Okay.
30:39Hey, quick.
30:41Secret.
30:42Made for a lady.
30:43Strong enough for a man.
30:45He's a funny little limey bastard.
30:50All right, come here, let's go.
30:52I would like to think you've learned your lesson.
30:54Look at me.
30:54If Eon does these, yes, I want a guarantee
30:56that you're going to run your business and not pick up things.
30:58Yes.
30:59Bob, do the honors, please.
31:00I'm positive, yeah?
31:01Don't fall back to your old ways.
31:02Thank you, officer Bob.
31:03Thank you, sir.
31:04Let's go, Dino.
31:05Move, huh?
31:06Yes, yes, yes, yes.
31:07Come on.
31:08No, no, no.
31:09Agarita, when you're ready, I can take another order.
31:10Let me know.
31:11Once Dean's cuffs are released,
31:13his managerial skills are put to the test.
31:16Put the hair in her.
31:17No, wait.
31:18I'm ready.
31:19I'm ready, I can take another order.
31:20I'm ready.
31:21I'm ready.
31:22I'm ready.
31:23I'm ready.
31:24I'm ready.
31:25I'm ready.
31:26I'm ready.
31:27I'm ready.
31:28I'm ready.
31:29I'm ready.
31:30I'm ready.
31:31I'm ready.
31:32No, wait.
31:33Yeah, man.
31:34Her pasta was cold.
31:35Oh, my God.
31:36That is air.
31:37Let me see.
31:38What the is this?
31:45Make another order of penny?
31:46It's going to take longer.
31:47I don't know if they want to wait.
31:49Do it now.
31:50I'm waiting to boil this, man.
31:52Just take the hot water from here.
31:53Just take it easy.
31:54Relax.
31:55I don't want to take it easy.
31:56Relax.
31:57Relax it.
31:58Just take it out of there.
31:59I really have to understand what's really going on.
32:01I needed to be the boss.
32:02I needed to actually do my job.
32:04You want to cook?
32:05I don't want to cook.
32:06I want you to cook.
32:07Just listen to me.
32:08Go to the back.
32:09Don't stay here.
32:10I want to stay here and you're going to do what I'm asking.
32:12Just do it.
32:13Go to the back.
32:14Go to the back.
32:15No, listen, really.
32:16Stupid.
32:17What a attitude.
32:20After another disappointing dinner service comes to an end.
32:27Gordon tries to make sense of one of the most bizarre evenings he's ever witnessed.
32:31The good news first.
32:32Within 15 minutes of announcing the specials, the halibut sold out.
32:37Dean, tonight showed significant signs, yeah, of becoming a better manager.
32:44Unfortunately, I had to handcuff you in order to get that out of you.
32:50The biggest problem still in this restaurant is the food.
32:54The feedback is the food is bland, boring, and barely mediocre.
32:59Tomorrow, we are going to relaunch this restaurant.
33:03I want people to say La Santé, yes, is the healthy restaurant where the food tastes great.
33:12What?
33:13Coming up.
33:14What?
33:15What?
33:16What?
33:17Crisis in the Kitchen pushes Dean over the edge.
33:20Vesta!
33:21And Aurelio out the door.
33:23What's the matter?
33:24You are not going to believe what happens next.
33:27Aurelio!
33:28On Kitchen Nightmares.
33:30If there were ever a restaurant that needed a makeover, it was Sante La Brea.
33:34And Gordon's crew worked through the night to pull it off.
33:37Excited?
33:38Big, big, big day today.
33:39Take off your blindfolds.
33:41The new Sante La Brea.
33:44Clean, fresh, and green.
33:46This is beautiful.
33:48We declutter the canapé.
33:50Inviting.
33:51Fresh.
33:52Here we go.
33:53Outside patio.
33:54Right, come through.
33:55Look.
33:56Snow, dirty white curtain.
33:58Fresh shades.
33:59Hand-painted blinds.
34:00New benches.
34:01Oh, this is comfortable, man.
34:03Look at the color of it.
34:05Nice, new, vibrant.
34:07It's almost like the dream materialized.
34:09Everything I was dreaming about just came in flashing in my face.
34:12What a change.
34:13What a vibrant, sexy, healthy change.
34:15Awesome.
34:16If I moved to tears so much, he's a brilliant man.
34:19It's really cool.
34:20Ready to go inside?
34:21Yes.
34:22Yes?
34:23Look at this.
34:24Oh, my God.
34:25Oh, my God.
34:26Oh, my God.
34:27We painted the entire restaurant.
34:29We added a beautiful mural on the wall.
34:31It was floored.
34:32If my mouth could, like, unhook it, it would have done that.
34:34No more tacky, plastic table glass.
34:37A proper, healthy, vibrant, fresh restaurant.
34:41No clutter.
34:42You two, just don't clutter the place up again.
34:45I'm not touching it.
34:46This is what LA wants.
34:47This makes an incredible statement.
34:49They took what we had, and they made it better and smarter and beautiful.
34:53Now this.
34:54Oh, my God.
34:55The menu.
34:56Oh, my God.
34:57Absolutely crucial.
34:58Come into something healthy and vibrant.
35:01Oh, .
35:03Oh, .
35:04What?
35:05Dad got really emotional when he saw the new menu.
35:07I'm so happy to see my dad happy.
35:08We're not looking through 150 bits of crap.
35:11It's fresh, and if it's not fresh, it's not on there.
35:15I'm happy for you.
35:16You deserve it, and your sons deserve it.
35:18Thank you, man.
35:19No question, this is a good beginning.
35:21I would never, ever be able to do it without Chef Hans.
35:24Okay, absorb, have some fun, and I'll see you in five, ten minutes, yes?
35:27Well done.
35:30In preparation for the big relaunch, Gordon introduces the staff to the new dishes.
35:35Gone is the bland mogodufu and dried out fish.
35:39In their place.
35:40Wonderful chilled tomato soup.
35:42Egg white for tartar.
35:43The eggplant.
35:44Sea bass.
35:45The lentils.
35:46The salads.
35:47And your favorite, the tofu, yeah?
35:48Yes.
35:49It's been grilled.
35:50It's the most important night so far of .
35:52Mark, you're hosting tonight.
35:54Greet.
35:55Sit them down.
35:56Don't take any orders.
35:57Got it.
35:58No worries.
35:59Well, don't just stand there staring at the food.
36:00Get some knife and pork to taste it.
36:02It was an amazing day today.
36:05Brand new restaurant.
36:06Brand new menu.
36:07Brand new feeling.
36:08Brand new man.
36:10It's relaunch night, and time for the world premiere of the new Sante La Brea.
36:15Hi.
36:16How are you guys tonight?
36:17How are we doing?
36:18We okay?
36:19I don't want to see Claudia here.
36:20All right?
36:21I want everything to be clean at all times, okay?
36:23Halibut?
36:24Wonderful.
36:25Seabass?
36:26Seabass.
36:27You like the cheese appetite?
36:28Sure.
36:29This mushroom with the cheese first, and then the tuna and the pizza.
36:32Thank you, man.
36:33Do you decide if you like any wine?
36:34Santa Barbara.
36:35The Santa Barbara?
36:36You got it.
36:39What are you doing?
36:40You don't want me to bring wine?
36:41I thought he wants me to sell wine, so I'm trying to...
36:43Do you want me to just tell them, then?
36:44Okay.
36:45Mark, once again, he didn't listen to my instruction, and he was taking an order.
36:48And I wanted to take control of that.
36:51Don't.
36:52I already told you once who the is in charge?
36:55Don't take an order!
36:57I won't.
36:58I won't.
36:59Okay, relax.
37:00I won't.
37:01Tell me once.
37:02I'm telling you again.
37:03You told me to take drinks.
37:04Don't take an order.
37:05Dean is the boss.
37:06Your Honor, Dean's word is go.
37:09Dean's feeling the pressure as more and more customers arrive at Sante.
37:14Don't put things in its own place, and don't eat, don't drink, don't do anything here.
37:18This is not good.
37:19Okay?
37:20Whenever I see that, I'm gonna be pissed off!
37:23And his kitchen staff is starting to feel it, too.
37:26Just hurry up a little bit.
37:27You gotta run a little bit.
37:29Just hurry up a little bit.
37:31Just hurry up a little bit.
37:33I need the food out.
37:34I can do those two things at the same time.
37:37Just listen to what I'm saying.
37:38Do it fast.
37:39You really want me to live?
37:42Look.
37:43Keep in mind what I say, okay?
37:44What?
37:45What?
37:46I'm keeping in mind what I say!
37:47Stop it!
37:49Goodbye!
37:50I'll do it.
37:53Next.
37:54Let's go.
37:55Be challenged.
37:56Be right with me in a second.
37:57You wanna treat me like he's old, old, his employer?
38:00That's a .
38:02I'm not like the other guys.
38:06Where is our grilled cheese and our hummus?

39:07This is unbelievable.
39:09The chefs run.
39:10Dean's going crazy.
39:11What have I created?
39:12A monster said, run your business.
39:14But don't start slamming into everybody.
39:15The restaurant's filling up.
39:16This guy's mad.

39:35That's all you care about. I'm not going to be in your .
39:38I'm not going to work without paying.
39:40Okay, how much money you owed?
39:41He owed me $140,000.
39:43Okay, here, here.
39:44No, no, no, no, no, come here.
39:45There's 100, okay? The rest comes after service.
39:48Please.
39:49I'm just going to do this tonight because of here.
39:52Okay, thank you. Thank you.
39:54Come here. Calm down.
39:56Big deep breath, yeah?
39:58Pretend you're in a yoga class.
39:59Just cool, cool.
40:00Now, discipline, yeah?
40:02But don't screw it, okay?
40:03Big deep breath.
40:05It's an hour into dinner service.
40:07Right, thank you, yes?
40:08And Aurelio's absence has caused a backup in the kitchen.
40:11Grilled four portions so you stay in front, yeah?
40:14Yeah.
40:15Yeah.
40:16She's ready to stab herself in the head.
40:18She's going to stab herself in the head.
40:19Out in the dining room, customers are left waiting for their food.
40:23We've been sitting here for, like, 15 minutes.
40:2515 minutes only?
40:26I have some food waiting here for longer than that.
40:28Sorry about that.
40:29Both of us are pregnant.
40:30This is brand new.
40:31I was watching everything fall apart, you know, food coming out.
40:35Our customers were, like, waiting, hungry, waiting, hungry, waiting, hungry.
40:38With a dining room full of hungry customers, Gordon tries to salvage the evening.
40:43We started off badly, yes?
40:45Yes.
40:46Really badly.
40:47Yes.
40:48Can we at least finish strong?
40:49You have to look at me, motivate the team as well, yes?
40:52Get a grip.
40:53Yes.
40:54Breathe deep.
40:55Don't worry about me.
40:56Don't worry about anything.
40:59Just do the best you can.

41:09Oh, yeah.
41:10That's good.
41:11Now it seems like we're closer together.
41:14Look at it.
41:15It's beautiful.
41:16It does.
41:17Mine's really good.
41:18And I really like the sauce and the vegetables too.
41:22You made me feel this much better.
41:24I learned a lot from this experience about myself, what I'm capable of, what I can do.
41:29Learned how to manage this place.
41:33After a less than spectacular start, the staff at Sante La Brea rallies and pulls off a successful relaunch.
41:41Thank you very much.
41:43We've come a long way since the beginning of the week.
41:46Trust me, this place definitely felt like a completely different relationship.
41:49from the one I entered when I first arrived here.
41:52Hey, each and every one of you cared.
41:55Full of passion.
41:56Energetic.
41:57And more importantly, we didn't give up.
