00:01Tonight, on Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon travels through the California desert and doesn't exactly find an oasis.
00:08This has to be one of the worst restaurants I've ever seen in my entire cooking career.
00:12The food is wretched.
00:14This is outrageous.
00:15Stick to this f***ing hand.
00:19Back in again.
00:20The restaurant is a mess.
00:22It looks like somebody peed on the ceiling, the walls, the doors.
00:27Could be throw up.
00:29The owners are clueless.
00:31Why would you open a restaurant if you never worked in one?
00:33Because we're insane.
00:34And the chef is a ticking time bomb.
00:36What part of that don't you freaking understand?
00:38Ready to explode.
00:40It was a bad day, pal.
00:42Bad day?
00:43Enough.
00:44Could this be the restaurant that leaves Gordon with more questions than answers?
00:48I don't know what's wrong with you.
00:49I don't know what's wrong with you.
00:50And I don't know why the f*** you've opened a restaurant.
00:52It's desperate times in the desert.
00:55Next, on Kitchen Nightmares.
00:58Maybe that's the secret success behind this place.
01:01Burn the f***ing thing down.
01:03Lancaster, California.
01:06Seventy miles north of Los Angeles is home to Casa Roma, the oldest restaurant in the city.
01:10How's your pizza, guys?
01:11In spite of having absolutely no restaurant experience, Nyla and her son Jeremy bought this failing landmark restaurant with the hope of turning it around.
01:18Two and a half years ago, I was in real estate.
01:19I was sitting around looking at business opportunities and I found Casa Roma.
01:23I talked my oldest son into getting in with me and had we have known the restaurant business very well, we probably wouldn't have done it.
01:24We've got to get this place turned.
01:25Soon.
01:26Me and my mom.
01:27thought we were buying a restaurant in the restaurant.
01:28It's okay.
01:29pizza guys in spite of having absolutely no restaurant experience nyla and her son jeremy
01:35bought this failing landmark restaurant with the hope of turning it around two and a half years ago
01:40i was in real estate i was sitting around looking at business opportunities and i found casa roma
01:45i talked my oldest son into getting in with me and had we had known the restaurant business very
01:50well we probably wouldn't have done it we got to get this place turned soon me and my mom thought
01:55we were buying a restaurant with a bar attached to it you guys can sit in the dining room are you
01:59going to go to the bar okay but really it just was a bar with a restaurant attached to it my bar does
02:05all my business it's like two different countries our bar is always packed and the restaurant sits
02:09empty in food on a good night i'm making 175 on a slow night i'm making nine dollars
02:19i just ask you if i'm wanting you wrong that's you know it we've had almost 20 chefs over the
02:24last two and a half years but i've had drew for a year and eric for almost six months
02:30eric's huge reason why customer isn't doing well not one table not one table's had their food yet
02:35he lacks getting the food out a timely fashion and his food is very bland
02:46i'm gonna need five chicken breasts i'm good at this i'm good at it do i make it look fancy
02:51do it can i put pine trees and stuff that's not what i do i make the food taste good it's presentable

03:02very well and he expects me to do everything i need every one of my pants right now we totally are
03:07in dire need of chef rangy's help because there's something that's got to be turned around about this

23:15not only a bad morning but a bad evening for every plate we put out there this evening we were losing
23:21what little reputation we had left to salvage this place what chance would we have getting all those
23:26tickets out there was no chance to put it bluntly that chef possibly the worst chef in america today
23:33the quicker you put a man like that out of his misery it's the biggest favor you've done for him
23:38and the restaurant okay tomorrow's a new day i've got drew that's what i've got left to work with

23:53saving grace i've got there i'm gonna work with him tomorrow i'm gonna be by his side tomorrow and start
23:59from scratch okay good night thank you i think drew will step up and i think if he gets some confidence
24:09behind him i think he can do it the last 24 hours was one of the toughest days ever spent in a
24:21restaurant last night we did get rid of the chef which was a positive move now i need drew to step
24:26up to the mark jeremy to support his mother more i got here early this morning so i'm gonna check out
24:30the place properly with no interference where do you start in a place like this
24:49roast beef dating back when
24:53what is that there just me defrosting again no sign of what it is
25:00fresh palmer ham is caked in mold this is outrageous
25:08look at it you stick through the hand it's that rancid
25:13that's just over three months old
25:24that's just over three months old
25:29oh god
25:43after witnessing one of the worst kitchen walk-ins he has ever seen gordon moves on to
25:48an area outside the kitchen that restaurants are judged upon the bathroom one of the best ways to
25:54check the hygiene of any restaurant is always through his bathrooms turn that on and turn the
25:59lights off right this could be quite scary oh my good god green and yellow identifies bodily fluids
26:11any form of bleach or any form of cleaning will be identified through the color blue but
26:15the body fluids on here is extraordinary
26:19look as high as high as the ceiling oh my god even the ceilings caked in it oh my god this is shocking
26:32wash your hands yeah honestly i've seen enough let's get the out of here
26:41oh my god
26:45disappointed by the state of the restaurant gordon is concerned about the family's commitment to its
26:50own restaurant right got in early this morning second new day and i'm somewhat
26:59not just confused but disappointed yeah come with me let me show you something
27:02how old is that tuesday tuesday oh come on guys how old is this
27:17hold it and smell it touch it biggie let's come outside the walk-in is just rubbish really looks like
27:26it's horrible it's old probably about as old as eric this is the killer for me pass it around
27:35it's three months old and then look only in california
27:43what in the is that made me sick i hated to see it we talk about cleaning out the refrigerator making
27:50sure things are clean all the time and to my surprise they aren't the state of that fridge in
27:57there confirms whoever's running this place in terms of kitchen management has given up they don't
28:02give a about you and they don't give a about standards i went into the bathrooms and that's
28:08where it got worse i need two minutes with you you start taking that out yeah um hey get a bin get
28:16every ounce of dirt out of there having a dirty refrigeration unit is one thing having a filthy
28:25bathroom is something that scares the hell out of me this thing here detects body fluids just have a look
28:34at this that's body fluids up there that there has got nothing to do with any form of cleaning
28:42look at the state of this green green green green green but here's where it gets really scary
28:52how the hell is it up there it looks like somebody may have peed on the ceiling the walls the doors
28:57you know could be throw up made me sick i didn't even want to touch the door knob coming out myself
29:06bring your son in yeah i'm not going in there my god this is body fluids
29:14body fluids on the ceiling uh-huh people are peeing about the ceiling well pretty good as nyla
29:21shows her sons the bathrooms gordon's inspection continues at the kitchen prep area what
29:28is going on here it just shows that there's no bleach you know these walls probably haven't been
29:33washed oh you're hot what in the are they look at that there holy jimmy come here people
29:44what what is that that's supposed to be his meatballs good god
29:49have a look those are from super bowl sunday super bowl sunday what is that that looks like ravioli
30:02what soaking in water i need to start stepping up taking the reins taking control and doing what i
30:12need to do my big worry is this is not difficult to spot you could spend 10 minutes after every night's
30:20service behind the bar walking through the kitchen and turning this place upside down and you don't
30:26need to be a rocket scientist to understand that this place is in desperate need of support
30:31before i go any further i want the place to clean
30:43after a full day of cleaning gordon realizes that if there is any chance of relaunching this restaurant
30:51he has to turn his attention to chef drew drew right now i want you and i to go and cook some pizzas
30:55and i'd like jeremy nyla to taste them i've got a little trick on my sleeve
30:59this is a secret between you and i okay i want to find out if they can actually tell the difference
31:07between a frozen pizza to something freshly made that goes in okay array of ingredients fresh yeah
31:15vibrant exciting let your imagination go wild and create yeah the ultimate pizza okay let's go
31:23who's the chef of this place i guess i am now that's right while drew creates his own signature thick
31:28crust pizza gordon is preparing a special thin crust pizza that will be on casa roma's new menu lovely
31:35working with chef ranzi was like one of the best things ever like oh my god i just worked with a
31:40world-class chef frozen pizza and yours right ready huh nice

31:59i mean i like this one good thank you chairman take one as well yeah i'm so glad you chose that one
32:05there yeah because this one here was frozen cheap i was shocked when chef ranzi told me the one pizza
32:12was frozen because i thought it tasted a lot like our pizza we had the good news is both you know your
32:18pizzas now let me give you my pizza so this is a thin crust i like this too these two are the type of
