00:00This week, I'm in Paris, but just when I thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen
00:07What's the matter let go I've seen some bad kids in my time
00:10But not quite as disorganized and fucking chaotic as this. I think you're a fake. I'm just gonna leave
00:19You're lazy you put nothing into it and you deserve a kick of the fucking ass
00:30I
00:35Paris France capital of the culinary world and the city where I spent my formative years as a chef
00:41Having lived here for three years just so happy to be back in Paris
00:45The French are a nation of meat lovers each eating an average of 90 kilos of the stuff every year a
00:52vegetarian restaurant in Paris
00:54My god in the heart of the Mary one of Paris's premier neighborhoods for gastrointestinal
01:00Delights particularly a teatro a tiny vegetarian restaurant run by Scott Rachel McNally is struggling to survive
01:07It's nice to be your own boss if you like but it's also very stressful
01:10You know I think if the restaurant was doing well
01:12And it didn't have all the debts that it had then I would probably be sleeping a lot better
01:17Millions of hungry Parisians and tourists flock past every day
01:21But only a few are choosing to eat at piccolo and those that do wish they hadn't
01:30Since Rachel took over the business. She's been losing nearly five and a half grand every month
01:34The debts are spiraling out of control and if things don't pick up she'll be closed in three months
01:40Piccolo teatro
01:42Not me. This is a first. I spent three years working my butt off in a prison kitchen, and I know just how tough it can be
01:49Hello hello, how are you? I'm well, thank you nice to see you likewise good to see you too now
01:57How does a beautiful Scott find herself in middle of Paris running a vegetarian restaurant?
02:03How did I up in Paris a French man originally? Okay?
02:07Well, I'm vegetarian since I can remember so I was attracted to this restaurant
02:11I'm I'm dying to get in the quicker I can get in the quicker and get out
02:16indeed
02:18The size of it is my nude
02:21Rachel runs the place with the help of a best friend Stephanie her only waitress you've been friends since four yeah
02:27Amazing there are just two chefs commas chef Fiona only works three mornings a week
02:34Daniel is the head chef and resident philosopher
02:37My to do my plan. Je préfère qu'il y'a des succès parce que la j'ai faire avec amour
02:44Daniel bonjour mon ami
02:46Bonjour monsieur vous êtes le chef responsable alors mon fait la cuisine ici pour pour les boules et cuillants et tout d'accord
02:53Where's the kitchen?
02:55Mais c'est l'espace, c'est l'extraordinaire, regardez
03:01Is this one from Glasgow as well?
03:03No, where's he from?
03:05He's brazilian
03:07Okay, what dish would you like to recommend for lunch and in
03:11lasagna
03:12Pistache
03:13Yeah, it's absolutely delicious. It's not on the menu at the moment. Is this normal?
03:19Yes
03:20Welcome to the madhouse. So we've got a pistachio nut a walnut and now Brazilian nut
03:26classic
03:28And there was a couple here the other day who had just got engaged that day and they ordered the hummus and they said it was the best they'd ever had in their lives
03:37Yeah, so you might want to try it. I cannot believe I'm sat here in the middle of Paris if my chefs
03:44Mr. Guy Savoie and Joel Bochon could see me now they would beat the crap out of me
03:50You know that?
03:52To start the famous hummus salad
03:54Topped with raisins and dried onions
03:57Get off there
03:59I love hummus
04:04But that's disgusting
04:06So how would you describe the food?
04:10Not particularly spectacularly exceptional
04:13Is this girl for real?
04:20Next up, carrot gratin
04:21Which if done properly should have a gorgeous bubbling cheese crust
04:25Okay, so that's the gratin there
04:27Yeah
04:27Bon appétit
04:28It's almost a bit of an insult to a vegetarian
04:44Fine, they don't eat meat, but they deserve some form of
04:47Respect in terms of cooking vegetables properly
04:52Steph, have you got two minutes, please
04:57Yeah
04:58Time for this bunch of jokers to face the music
05:01The joking and the fun and the singing and all that crap
05:03That's fine when you've got a success
05:05The food was shit
05:06It wasn't nearly there
05:08It was a mess
05:10Most of the customers that come here do actually leave satisfied and do enjoy the food
05:14Okay
05:14I'm deeply concerned
05:15Because I've got to get him in the right frame of mind
05:18And standing out being a vegetarian restaurant in the middle of Paris
05:21Is a fucking hard task
05:22Okay
05:23Thank you
05:24Bad food and bad attitude
05:26This is going to be tough
05:28There's a lot riding on Piccolo succeeding
05:35Rachel's got a young son to support
05:37And her dad has invested at least £50,000 in the business
05:40She needs to spill the beans
05:43You haven't paid rent since last October?
05:46Since October, £1,600 a month
05:48And the tax man's owed £10,000
05:52There is a bank loan which hasn't been paid for about six months
05:58It's going to take a lot of hard work to pull Piccolo back from the brink
06:02And seriously, how bad do you want to save the business?
06:05Badly, yeah, absolutely, yeah
06:07Of course I do
06:08I don't have anything else here, you know
06:10It's my life
06:11It's my livelihood
06:13Piccolo clearly needs a massive shake-up
06:17But before I make any changes
06:20I need to see how Daniel runs the kitchen
06:22It's Saturday night
06:27But at 7pm, with the first table already seated
06:30Rachel seems agitated
06:31He's not ready
06:32And there's hardly anything on the menu
06:34So
06:34He's not ready?
06:35I'd like to do some cooking yourself
06:37What's he been doing for the last three hours?
06:38That's what I mean
06:39I don't know
06:40He's pretty chilled out
06:42That's just the way he is
06:43Daniel's first order is for two garden salads
06:46Almost 20 minutes later
07:15He's still fiddling with the salads
07:17I would say so
07:29This is a joke
07:45I've never seen anything like this
07:46I've not seen anything like this
07:48This Brazilian nut has lost these marbles
07:56It's burning
07:59It's burning
08:01It's burning
08:03Rach, there's a pan here burning
08:08I'm trying to change the pan for him
08:09And he's just telling me to leave it there
08:11There are now eight people in the restaurant
08:23And barely anyone is getting served
08:26I mean, I've seen some bad kitchens in my time
08:27But not quite as disorganized and fucking chaotic as this
08:30Daniel is clearly hard to handle
08:32But Rachel is the boss
08:34You alright?
08:36No, I'm not alright
08:37I'm really fucking pissed off
08:39In three fucking hours
08:40He could have made a fucking dish or two
08:41And he's fucking doing it on purpose
08:43He should be fucking ashamed
08:44I'm ashamed
08:45I'm fucking ashamed to go and see any fucking customers
08:48This guy's killing your business
08:49This is so sad, do you know that?
08:54But he needs to get his fucking acting gear
08:56And he needs to do something
08:56Because we're going to fucking fall out big time
08:58Anyway, I'm going inside to see what's going on
09:00Daniel's lack of respect is disgusting
09:22Get him out
09:26Send him home and fucking salvage something
09:29Get some money in the till
09:31This is happening now
09:32Apparently it happened last weekend as well
09:33Guy's a joke
09:35Chérie, va à la maison
09:38C'est pas possible
09:38Il y a rien d'autre à servir
09:39C'est fini
09:40Tu va à la maison
09:41On parle plus
09:41On va l'appeler

09:44Oui, oui, absolument
09:46Je suis sérieuse
09:47C'est Steph qui va servir les gens
09:49Je suis sérieuse
09:50Non, je suis sérieuse
09:51Les gens ont trop attendu
09:52J'ai la honte
09:53J'ai la honte, tu vas à la maison
09:54C'est mon décision final
09:56T'es bien, t'es bien, t'es bien
09:58J'ai la solution
09:59Bonsoir, monsieur, madame
10:02Bonsoir
10:04Bonsoir
10:05Why is it all the customers?
10:08Vous avez payé l'édition déjà?
10:09We've asked nicely
10:10Where are the heavies when you need them?
10:13Mais je...
10:13Ah, non, non
10:15On ne peut pas...
10:16Non, non, non
10:17On ne peut pas...
10:18Daniel, please
10:18Daniel, c'est-ce que...
10:19Attention, s'il vous plaît
10:20S'il vous plaît
10:21Bien, ne me n'y a pas
10:22On va pas...

10:25Et on est...
10:25On est amis, tous les deux
10:27C'est moi le patron
10:28S'il vous plaît, tu pars
10:29Et je t'appelle à tout à l'heure
10:30S'il vous plaît
10:30Get out
10:31S'il vous plaît
10:32Qu'est-ce que ça m'a ça ?
10:33Allez
10:33Non, non, non
10:35Non, non
10:35Vous voulez ici
10:36D'accord ?
10:37Écoutez moi
10:37Je vais jeter la nourriture
10:40C'est-ce que c'est-ce que c'est
10:41Well, it wasn't a very good experience
10:43It was entertaining
10:45It was entertaining
10:46Highly entertaining
10:46Dinner theatre
10:47With the plates crashing around
10:49In the background
10:49Our food wasn't very good
10:52To put it politely
10:53The couscous was crunchy
10:55The tart was completely burnt to a crisp
10:58Burnt
10:58Quite burnt
11:00It looks like I'm going to have to take Daniel
11:02To the nuthouse myself
11:03Oh
11:04It is
11:07Very hard to control
11:08And that is a problem
11:10Fucking shame, man
11:13Saturday night
11:13What a fucking mess
11:14He's still here
11:18Ça va, Fano
11:20Fuck me
11:21Fuck me
11:23Let's start again
11:24We could not continue with that
11:25We can't
11:25And I can't take him back now
11:27After that
11:27Because that's just
11:28Totally unexpected
11:29It's completely disrespectful to me
11:30How much do we take ?
11:32150 euros
11:33Fucking disaster
11:34You may have lost your chef
11:36But fuck me
11:37You've got your restaurant back
11:38I spent three years working in Paris
11:49In my early 20s
11:50So coming back
11:51Should have been a dream come true
11:52But last night
11:55Vegetarian restaurant
11:56Piccolo Teatro
11:57Hit rock bottom
11:58How are we ?
12:00I've called a crisis meeting
12:01With the remaining staff
12:02Good
12:03Fiona ?
12:04Yeah ?
12:04Enchanté ?
12:05How are you today ?
12:06Fine ?
12:07Good
12:08And you are the daytime cook ?
12:10Morning chef
12:11Yeah
12:11Fiona can't work evenings
12:13So Rachel is on the lookout
12:14For a new head chef
12:15In the meantime
12:16I'll need Stephanie
12:17To help out in the kitchen
12:18During service
12:19What I'm trying to say
12:20What I'm trying to say to you
12:21When you see how easy it is
12:22You'll be amazed
12:23I can help for a wee while
12:25A wee while
12:26Cooking at this level
12:27Doesn't have to be difficult
12:28Any of us could do it
12:31I've only got four days
12:32To turn things around
12:33So there needs to be
12:34A big change in attitude
12:35Around here
12:36I know it's nice
12:37To have a little
12:38Sort of cosy restaurant
12:39In the middle of the night
12:40But we've got to start
12:41Thinking about
12:41Some form of discipline
12:42I think Daniel is exceptional
12:44And
12:44Can I just say one thing
12:46It's very complicated
12:47Working for a friend
12:48It's very complicated for her
12:49And it's very complicated for me
12:51Friendship, whatever
12:52It's got nothing to do with it
12:52It's a business first
12:54Yes
12:54And the quicker we start
12:55Getting our minds around
12:56To turning it into a business
12:58Everybody else follows suit
12:59But before we do anything
13:01And I mean seriously
13:03Before we do anything
13:03This place needs a good
13:05Fucking clean
13:06Yeah
13:07Rachel opens for lunch at weekends
13:11But there's no way
13:12We can serve lunch today
13:13Where do you start
13:15Fucking pigeon food
13:18What is that
13:21Carrot lasagna
13:24Fuck me
13:26Watch out
13:28There's an lasagna coming
13:28Don't touch it
13:30It bites
13:30Steph
13:36This is food
13:37Which Gordon wants to throw
13:38Because once it's had a wash
13:39It'll be perfectly fine
13:40You can see why
13:42I don't want you to eat
13:42Anything from the fridge
13:44It's got cinnamon in it
13:45I don't
13:45It's off
13:46Yeah, I know
13:48When was the last time
13:49That was clean?
13:49It's a blessing in disguise
13:51That meat hasn't been cooked
13:51In this kitchen
13:52Fucking hell
13:53With hygiene standards this low
13:55They would have been
13:55Wheeling out the customers
13:56By the coffin load
13:57That's food in there
13:58Then
13:58Why the fuck
14:01Are they all
14:02Fucking little flies up there
14:03Rachel used to be
14:05The waitress here
14:06And what's crystal clear
14:07Is that she's still
14:08Acting like one
14:09Fucking hell
14:11Got to take responsibility
14:14This is your money here
14:15Huh?
14:16Rotten and fresh food
14:17Stored together
14:18None of this is safe to eat
14:20Why have you let it get into this state?
14:23I don't know
14:29Not
14:29We're going to start cleaning again
14:32Now I've got to work out
14:37How on earth do you make
14:38A vegetarian restaurant
14:39In Paris
14:39Successful
14:40Fewer than 2%
14:43Of the French population
14:44Are vegetarian
14:45But 27 million tourists
14:47Flock to Paris
14:48Every year
14:48Surely
14:49Some of them are veggies
14:50Are you a vegetarian?
14:54Vegetarian or no?
14:54No
14:55No
14:55No
14:55No
14:55No
14:56No
14:56I like meat
14:57You like meat
14:58Have you ever been to a vegetarian restaurant?
15:00No
15:01No
15:01No
15:03Are you vegetarians?
15:04No
15:05Finding a vegetarian in Paris
15:07Yeah
15:07Is like looking for a needle in a haystack
15:09Are you vegetarians?
15:10No
15:11No
15:11Why not?
15:13Because I like meat
15:13Are you a vegetarian?
15:15Err yes
15:16I eat some fish
15:16But I'm vegetarian
15:17The only way piccolo will survive
15:20Is by serving veggie food
15:21That even meat eaters will love
15:23All good food comes out of a small kitchen
15:29It's time to get started
15:31On piccolo's drop dead delicious new menu
15:33Until Rachel finds a new head chef
15:35I'm relying on part time commie chef
15:36Fiona
15:37Can you be in first?
15:40Yeah
15:40Beans in
15:42A rich spicy two bean chilli
15:45Should have the veggies
15:46And carnivores chomping at the bit
15:48Pretty nice and fresh
15:49Yeah
15:50Yeah
15:50Selatine exactly
15:52Lovely
15:52There's also a very cheesy tomato
15:55And aubergine gratin
15:56To replace that tasteless slopo
15:58I was served yesterday
15:59Seasoning is really important
16:02I never put salt in my
16:04In my
16:04You never put salt in your

16:06Not
16:07No
16:08Never
16:08Okay
16:09But I'm vegetarian French
16:11Vegetarian French
16:12You can still season things
16:13I know their food is bland in general
16:14But you can still season it
16:16Yes
16:16Mmm look at that
16:17Mmm salt
16:18Ooh salt
16:20Salt

16:29Fiona's worked a few extra hours today
16:31And is that sort of commitment
16:32This business needs

16:36Missy
16:37Thank you
16:39Muscle eye
16:40Okay
16:41Okay
16:41Okay
16:43Very good day
16:50Stephanie has agreed to cook tonight
16:54But at six o'clock
16:56Neither she nor Rachel
16:57Are anywhere to be seen
16:59If they think I'm their new head chef
17:02They can go spin
17:03Earlier
17:05Rachel went off to feed her pregnant cat
17:07Stephanie had to go and sleep
17:09Because she wasn't feeling very well
17:11And look
17:12We're an hour
17:12Away from opening
17:13And there's not one fucker in here
17:14Bar myself
17:15So
17:15Yeah
17:16If you're going to open a restaurant
17:18Fucking don't play at it
17:19Work at it
17:21No sign of Steph yet
17:24No
17:24Anyone have called her
17:25I will call her
17:26Yeah
17:27I just would expect
17:27She would have been back
17:28I'll give her a ring
17:29No kittens yet
17:30Rachel's up to her neck in debt
17:33The business is on its knees
17:34And yet it all seems a big joke to her
17:36Right
17:37Try and hurry up
17:38I'm starting to feel like
17:48They're taking the mickey out of me
17:49I need to know
17:50Are you seriously interested
17:52In turning this around
17:53I don't get the feeling
17:54And I'm just like
17:55What the fuck am I doing here
17:56Busting my arse off
17:58In your establishment
17:58To help turn this around
18:00You went home
18:01And you said this morning
18:04You'd be back at 3.30
18:05I had to go to my cat
18:05Who's about to give birth
18:06I had no choice
18:07And I had to have a shower
18:08I thought we were going to be
18:08Doing some stuff in the kitchen together
18:10So as you didn't get
18:11Nobody said anything
18:12Right
18:12You said you'd be back soon
18:14But never mind
18:14Okay
18:15Are we going to get serious
18:16Or
18:16Because you know
18:17Shall I tell you how I feel
18:18I'd rather fuck off home
18:19That's how I feel
18:22Because I don't feel
18:23Any form of commitment
18:24I think it's
18:26An incredibly admirable enterprise
18:28What you're doing
18:29And I think Rachel's
18:30Totally committed
18:31Stop stop stop
18:31Come on
18:32Let's get a little bit real
18:33Look
18:34I'm committed to her
18:36But I'm not
18:36I'm not
18:37You know
18:37I just don't get it with you
18:39I don't think you're a fake
18:40I don't get any fucking
18:42I'm not asking anyone
18:44To lay down a red carpet
18:45Or kiss my arse
18:46I just
18:46I want commitment
18:47And I don't feel that
18:48That's all
18:49Well you're not going to get that
18:50If you tell people they're a fake
18:51But
18:52You've just arrived
18:53Yes
18:54And I'm just going to leave
18:56I'm really committed to Rachel
18:57But I'm not
18:58I just can't
18:59I just refuse
19:00To be harassed
19:01And insulted
19:02Insulted
19:04Yes
19:04Incredible
19:06Arrested and insulted
19:09Fuck me
19:10Take a good look at yourself
19:12Thank you
19:13I know
19:15I know
19:16I know
19:17I know
19:17I know
19:18I know
19:18I know
19:19Yeah but I can't
19:20I will fucking leave then
19:21Okay
19:22Bye bye
19:24Cheese Dave
19:29Nice one
19:29Sorry
19:30Fucking hell
19:32We're now down to one member of staff
19:37And I just don't know
19:39If she's committed to saving her business
19:41I've never worked with such fucking nymphics
19:44All my life
19:44I've had enough
19:46Rachel can sort out this staff crisis herself
19:49Yeah
19:56Lord Ramsey's going to fucking leave
19:57Matt panicked trying to find somebody to work
19:59With about ten fucking minutes to go
20:02So I just went to the Scottish pub
20:04And they said to come over here
20:05And one of the girls in there phoned somebody
20:08And I found somebody
20:09So she's coming in ten minutes
20:10She's going to be in the restaurant in ten minutes
20:12I think I'm just
20:13I've just been
20:14So many crises
20:15That I'm just starting to get
20:16Sort of less stressed about it
20:18You know
20:18Leaving Rachel alone
20:20Is the best thing I could have done
20:22There's not much in the fridges
20:24There's some
20:25There's some salads
20:27She's found a temporary waitress
20:31And has decided to go into the kitchen herself
20:33Okay
20:34So I'm actually going to be in the kitchen
20:36Because normally my friend
20:37Was supposed to be in the kitchen
20:38And she's
20:39She just walked out
20:40So
20:40Oh
20:44That's pretty good
20:49Hello
20:49Okay
20:50So who's in the dining room?
20:51I found a waitress to come
20:53And
20:53So I'm going to be in here
20:56I'm giving Rachel one list to prove
20:59She really wants to save this restaurant
21:01Yeah
21:01Tart is in the oven
21:02So you get the plate out
21:04And put the salad on there
21:05Thankfully
21:05These new dishes are foolproof
21:07The chili's ready to go
21:09And the gratin
21:09And the chili for table five
21:10And the gratins simply need heating up
21:12Watch this
21:13The first of Piccolo's new hearty dishes
21:17Are already hitting the spot
21:18Jackie
21:19Don't do signals
21:19I love vegetarian
21:20And about four minutes now
21:23For the main course
21:24Don't forget to give us some bread
21:25On table eight
21:25Dad
21:28Can I pull you back?
21:30All right
21:30Oh cool
21:31Oh is India coming to do some work?
21:34Oh magic
21:35Rachel's dad has a financial stake in Piccolo
21:37And has been looking for a new head chef
21:39Sweetie later
21:39Bye
21:40Oh my dad's coming over with somebody
21:42And she's a chef
21:44So she's coming over tomorrow with my dad
21:46For I don't know if she's coming over for how long
21:50But she's going to help out anyway
21:51For the time being
21:52Oh
21:52That's good news
21:54Rachel has just been thrown a lifeline
21:57Fucking hell
21:58What a noise
21:59It started off as a disaster
22:01I felt at 6.30 this afternoon
22:02That I really wanted to get the fuck out of it
22:04To be honest
22:04No substance
22:06No commitment
22:06And two sort of tizzies
22:08Playing at running a restaurant
22:09So
22:10Stephanie fucked off
22:12Her attitude stinks
22:13And
22:13Rachel's finally woken up
22:16I'm glad she started to sweat
22:17Because that's what it's like running a restaurant
22:19And
22:19If she really wants this to succeed
22:22Then get used to working like this
22:23Because
22:24It's a business
22:25You've got a phenomenal possibility
22:30Of a great success here
22:31But it needs a commitment
22:33And that doesn't mean a commitment from a waitress
22:35It needs a commitment from a boss
22:36Somebody who's running the place
22:37So
22:38You know
22:39You've proved tonight
22:40That you can do it
22:41So fucking well done
22:42Okay
22:43Cheers
22:44Now things are finally looking up
22:49It's time to deal with one of Rachel's biggest mistakes
22:51Not opening for weekday lunch
22:53Hordes of hungry tourists swarms to marry
23:00Looking for quick cheap lunch
23:02And many head for the snack bar
23:03At the end of Rachel's street
23:04She should be working hard to grab a slice of the action
23:10But doesn't think it's worth it
23:12We opened at lunchtime for about a month
23:14And it was a complete waste of time really
23:17But there was just nobody here
23:19There was no customers
23:19We had maybe two, three sometimes
23:22Paying someone in the kitchen
23:23Someone in the thing
23:24And then
23:24Because you're doing the starting main course
23:26There's a lot of washing up
23:28Let's go get some business
23:31I'll prove that by offering a quick good value lunch
23:34Rachel could earn some much needed cash
23:36But I know this stubborn Scott
23:48Will take some convincing
23:50So unbeknownst to her
23:51I'll be opening the restaurant for lunch myself
23:53Always dreamt of having my own restaurant in Paris
23:56And finally it's here
23:58Chez moi à Paris
23:59Unfortunately it's a fucking vegetarian restaurant
24:02So yeah
24:03Soup and a roll
24:04If the soup's good
24:09They'll be back for dinner
24:10They've all sat down at the same time
24:11Now I'm in the ship
24:13There's roasted vine tomato soup
24:14With cheese on toast
24:15For a bargain price of six euros
24:17And you don't have to be veggie
24:18To enjoy that
24:19Service
24:21It's me again
24:23Lovely
24:26Who's the roast this morning?
24:28This is it
24:28Two, four, six, eight, ten
24:31Bingo, bingo
24:32Good
24:33Rachel better appreciate this
24:35I don't even work this hard
24:36In my own restaurant
24:37Coming up
24:38Four
24:39Serve the other people first
24:41Right
24:41That's very kind
24:42Thank you
24:43Do you need a tip by the way?
24:48There's more something extra
24:49Okay
24:49Good man
24:50Good man
24:50Excellent
24:51Right
24:52Not opening for lunch
24:53Not opening for lunch
24:53In such a prime location
24:54Is either madness
24:55Or laziness
24:56This soup was the best soup
24:57I've ever had
24:58It was really, really yummy
24:59This was fabulous for us
25:01In terms of price
25:02Twenty past two
25:04I feel like a pig in shit
25:06Fucking marvellous
25:08Now all I've got to do
25:10Is show Rachel
25:11What her laziness
25:12Is costing her
25:13Morning
25:14Hello
25:15How are you my darling?
25:16I'm alright
25:17I'm a bit tired
25:18Because my cat gave birth
25:19In the night
25:19That's fantastic
25:20How many cats have you got?
25:22There's only two
25:23Luckily
25:24We boil a soup
25:25If someone opened my restaurant
25:27Without telling me
25:28Believe me
25:29I'd notice immediately
25:30Good
25:31Can you make this soup?
25:32I did make this soup
25:33Yeah
25:33I've had a fucking busy morning
25:35What have you been up to?
25:37Can you not see the sign outside?
25:39No
25:40No
25:41Ah
25:42I don't know what we've taken
25:44And I'm not fucking around
25:47By any means
25:47But for me
25:48Do you think all that was running?
25:50On six euros a head
25:51I swear to God
25:53I am not fucking around
25:54And
25:55I don't know if I believe you
25:57I'm just not going to show
25:58I believe you actually
25:59But anyway
25:59Okay
26:00I think at six euros
26:01That's an awful lot of people
26:03That you've served soup
26:03I swear to God
26:06They were standing up there
26:07And there was a queue
26:08And they were coming in
26:10And coming out
26:10I cooked
26:11And I served
26:11On my jack
26:13Right
26:14300
26:15That's 430
26:17Clearly
26:18Money talks
26:19Seriously
26:20As an eye-opener
26:21It worked
26:22450 euros
26:23I'm absolutely
26:24I've been astonished
26:25Really
26:26It's really exciting
26:27If we could do that every day
26:30Then the whole business
26:31Turn around
26:31Just from lunchtime alone
26:33I'm nearing the end of my week in Paris
26:43Where I'm trying to save vegetarian restaurant
26:45Piccolo Teatro
26:47And rescue a damsel in distress
26:49So you just don't have the support
26:50Of all your family
26:51And different friends
26:52And you know
26:53Quite often
26:54I will phone my mum
26:55Or my dad
26:55And be
26:55Down the phone
26:57You know
26:57It's been disaster
26:59After disaster
27:00Jeez Steph
27:01Nice one
27:02Fucking hell
27:05But the cavalry
27:06Has just strolled into town
27:08Hearing of Rachel's crisis
27:13Her father Brian
27:14Who has invested in Piccolo
27:15Has flown in from Scotland
27:16Bringing 23 year old chef
27:18India
27:19Sorry first name
27:20Excuse me
27:20Brian
27:20Brian nice to see you
27:21Welcome
27:21Am I pleased to see you
27:23And this is India
27:24This is India
27:25My daughter
27:26How are you my darling
27:26India's
27:28India's
27:28You're going to be
27:29A right hand man
27:30I can't wait
27:31Or something
27:31We need it
27:33I'm going to go back to the hotel
27:33Pick up my whites
27:34Great
27:35Get back in
27:36I like Brian already
27:37And I need to bring him up to speed
27:39Look
27:40Soup
27:40With the cheese on toast
27:41For 6 euros
27:42And he took 400 euros
27:44About 90 people in here
27:45For really
27:456 euros
27:46Which is disbelief
27:48It's quite fucking incredible
27:49It shows you what you're doing wrong
27:51Absolutely
27:51I'll be more enthusiastic
27:53And motivated
27:53If there's money coming in
27:54What do you think
27:55Is wrong with the business
27:56Well I think a bit more
27:58Has to be put into it
27:59A bit more commitment
28:00From Rachel
28:00I think
28:01Her weaknesses are
28:03Running a business
28:05Just take charge
28:07Good
28:08And you're going to be here
28:08For the next three months
28:09Right
28:09Style
28:12Thank God for Brian
28:13Now all I hope
28:14Is that India's got what it takes
28:15I'll be leaving my work
28:18And my family
28:19First time abroad
28:19On my own
28:20It'll be very hard
28:22But I'm sure
28:23I'll do
28:24I'll do good
28:24And I'll produce good food
28:25I know Paris
28:32Is an exciting place
28:33For a young chef
28:34I was the same age as India
28:36When I came to live here
28:37And there it is there
28:3883 Rue de la Roquette
28:3920 metres squared flat
28:41Absolutely minute
28:42It's amazing
28:43It's just sit there
28:43With the windows open
28:44And just
28:45Have this amazing baguette
28:47Yeah
28:47Café creme
28:49And just sit there
28:50And think about recipes
28:51Ideas
28:51And then walk up and down the street
28:53Go inside boulanger
28:54Patisseries
28:55And then come up
28:55With dessert ideas
28:56Run back
28:57And start writing them down
28:58Paris is an inspiring city
29:02I want to start India
29:03Off on the right foot
29:04By showing her
29:05The incredible produce
29:06She'll be using
29:06If she stays here
29:07The quicker India learns French
29:25The better
29:26If India is as enthusiastic in the kitchen
29:52There may be hope for Piccolo yet
29:54My new best friend
29:56Merci
29:56Merci
29:57Excellent
30:00Off you go
30:01Some exciting stuff there
30:03Oh amazing
30:04Lovely
30:05And yet
30:05The French is sounding fantastic
30:07Oh thank you
30:08Back at Piccolo
30:13Brian's pep talk
30:14Seems to have done the trick
30:15Rachel has arrived early
30:17Tonight's India's first service
30:20So I'm going to be on hand
30:21To help out
30:22And to help out
30:22If she needs me
30:23How old were you
30:25First started cooking
30:25Fifteen
30:26Fifteen
30:26Well no sorry
30:27Fifteen when I was
30:28A kp
30:29And then six
30:30Just turned sixteen
30:30And they were like
30:31Getting
30:31Really
30:32That's good
30:32Mushroom
30:33Okay
30:34Little bit of seasoning
30:36I've added a new hot starter
30:39I've added a new hot starter
30:39A classic on any bistro menu
30:41Pan fried wild mushrooms
30:42On hot buttered brioche
30:44A little bit of parsley in there
30:46Okay
30:46And just let them all sort of cascade
30:48And have a little taste of the Gerald
30:49Full of flavour
30:52India in the kitchen for the first time
30:54Work as a team
30:55If you guys aren't talking
30:56Yeah
30:57She won't know what's going on
30:59And you won't have a clue what's going on
31:00We're just going to start off
31:01A brand new relationship
31:03Yeah
31:03Thank fuck you're here
31:05Yeah
31:05I was twenty three
31:06When I came to Paris for the first time
31:07You know that
31:07And I was absolutely shitting myself
31:10I'm shitting myself
31:11Yeah good
31:11That's a healthy sign
31:13Yeah
31:13India's got seven years experience
31:15As an assistant chef
31:16But tonight
31:17I want to see whether she's got the ability
31:19To take charge of this kitchen
31:20We'll organise the tickets
31:22From left to right
31:22And as we send the starters
31:25We'll just put a little crisscross off there
31:26For the main course
31:27You have bourguetine mozzarella
31:28And tomato
31:28So now you tell me
31:31What are you going to do
31:32Two chips
31:33And a tart
31:34Good
31:34What was I concerned about
31:41This kitchen's never known
31:43Such speed and efficiency
31:44And where's the ticket please
31:52It'd be a lot easier
31:53If you've got a ticket for dessert
31:54Right now
31:55The only weak link in this team
31:57Is the boss
31:57I want to make damn sure
32:01She knows how lucky she is
32:02What's the difference
32:03Between her and Daniel
32:05Just go back four nights ago
32:07Seriously
32:08No but in terms of
32:08You couldn't get a salad out
32:09This has been real now
32:10You've got a fucking gem in there
32:12Absolute gem
32:14Now the kitchen's in safe hands
32:16Now the kitchen's in safe hands
32:16I want Rachel to realise
32:17That to make money
32:18Piccolo's vegetarian food
32:20Needs to have mass appeal
32:21Paris screams sex
32:28Glamour
32:29Indulgence
32:30And hedonism
32:30Everything that vegetarian food
32:32Isn't
32:33But needs to be
32:34Cheers
32:35Cheers
32:36Cheers
32:36Cheers
32:37Cheers
32:37I brought you here tonight
32:54To sort of confirm
32:56That Harris is about
32:58Sexiness
32:59Indulgence
33:00Lots of cream
33:02Lots of butter
33:03And they flaunt it
33:04Lots of cream butter
33:04And cheese in my restaurant
33:06Would be a good thing
33:06I want everyone to come in
33:08And say
33:08Ooh
33:09Quelle bon surprise
33:10I had a yummy dinner tonight
33:12And I'm not veggie
33:13And I loved it
33:14Thank you
33:15Tomorrow
33:16We're going out on the street
33:18And we're going to make
33:19Your restaurant
33:19Fucking sexy
33:21Last night
33:27Rachel got excited about food
33:29Maybe
33:30We're finally
33:30On the same wavelength
33:32This afternoon
33:36We're going out
33:37From the streets
33:38Of Gay Parry
33:39Armed with tempting tarts
33:40On a mission
33:41To convince everyone
33:42That vegetarian food
33:43Has changed
33:44The objective today
33:46Taking boring bland
33:49Vegetarian food
33:50To something sexy
33:51Vibrant
33:52And a pure indulgence
33:54While India fills
33:56The savoury tarts
33:57With a tasty herb
33:58Ghost cheese
33:58Commie chef Fiona
34:00And I
34:00Are making a very naughty
34:02Chocolate mousse
34:02To fill the sweet ones
34:03That
34:04Will give any french tart
34:06A run for its money
34:07Don't worry
34:09Don't worry about the calories
34:09Okay
34:09Yeah
34:10Bedtime
34:14Yes
34:14Brian doing a grand job
34:17Vegetarian food
34:18Is no longer boring
34:20Lovely
34:23It's time to put piccolo
34:29On the gastronomic map of Paris
34:31To make sure no one can miss us
34:36We've enlisted the help
34:37Of a few of Paris' finest tarts
34:39Are you a vegetarian tart
34:40Help yourself please
34:41Gracias
34:42I love vegetarian tarts
34:45If the enthusiasm of these punters
34:56Is anything to go by
34:57It's going to be busy
34:58For tonight's launch
34:59Delicious
35:00Piccolo's future looks so much rosier
35:25But it depends on whether India
35:27Is ready to trade her settled life
35:28In Edinburgh
35:28For this head chef's job
35:30In Paris
35:30I've spoke to Rachel
35:32I'll take the position
35:34As long as she
35:35That's great news
35:36Gets her finger out her arse
35:37And start working hard
35:38And on there on time
35:40As soon as you go away
35:40It better not
35:42No
35:42Keep it up
35:44You've got to stand strong on that
35:45Yep
35:45And you're ten years younger
35:48Than the owner
35:48But you're ten years more mature
35:52And don't fall in love
35:54No I won't
35:55Fuck some
35:55I'm too busy
35:57Exactly
35:59I want to make sure
36:01Brian's going to keep the pressure on
36:03As I'm still worried about Rachel's attitude
36:05They're going to have to seriously
36:07Run it as a business
36:08And make money
36:09Which they've got every chance of doing
36:10I hope finally
36:12She's
36:12She gets the message
36:14But you need to
36:15Make sure that she stays disciplined on it
36:17That's one big ask from you
36:19Well
36:21All I can do is try
36:22Yep
36:23I can only do so much
36:24Yeah
36:24Anyone
36:25Yourself
36:25Or anyone who
36:26May
36:27She may
36:27Listen to
36:28For advice
36:29Can only do so much
36:30It's down to her
36:31Thank you
36:34In just a few hours
36:39We're launching Piccola's
36:40New sexy vegetarian menu
36:41And India's decided to add one of her own dishes
36:44We've got beetroot
36:45We've got cheese mixed salad
36:48And the dressing is chive
36:50Basil
36:50And olive oil
36:52So we can do that as a starter
36:54Would you like a taste?
36:57Love it
36:59All the dishes on the new menu
37:01Are indulgent, rich and filling
37:03Like this toffee apple tartar tan
37:05So when we cut through the apples
37:07We've got this really nice dark caramel
37:08Yeah
37:09And creamy pea and courgette cheese tart
37:13Beautiful
37:14Go cheese
37:15Nothing
37:15Little block like that
37:17As it cooks
37:18It just melts across there
37:19After all the disasters
37:22Tonight's launch
37:23Needs to mark a new beginning
37:25For Piccolo
37:25And for Rachel
37:26You are the boss
37:28And what you say goes
37:30And they're all going to follow suit
37:32If they see you not giving a fig
37:35And you, you know, over-relaxed
37:36And over-comfortable
37:37Everybody else does it
37:38And you've got such an amazing chance here
37:40I need to behave more as a boss
37:42And if people
37:43If anyone that's unemployed
37:45Is not going to listen to me
37:46Then they can fuck off
37:47Um, new menu
37:49New chef
37:49New attitude
37:50Six
37:51Six
37:52I like that
37:53Rachel's talking the talk
37:54But at opening time
37:55She's still not ready
37:56Right, ready to open the doors up
37:58I need some bread first
37:59Who's going to get the bread?
38:00Gordon
38:01Where the fuck are I going to get bread
38:06This time of night?
38:09It'll be fine
38:10I'm chilled
38:10I'm chilled
38:11Yep
38:11You're always chilled
38:12Rachel's also left it
38:16To the last minute
38:17To get an extra waitress
38:18Okay, bye, bye, bye
38:19Is that Laurel?
38:21She's going to see a show
38:22She can't
38:23Her constant careless
38:26And unprofessional attitude
38:27Is really depressing me
38:29How about thank you
38:33You miserable wee bitch
38:33That's right
38:35With a capital fucking B
38:37And may we have a ticket
38:41For the dessert tonight, please
38:42We used to do
38:43I warrant a key
38:44Très bien
38:45Merci, chérie
38:46No ticket, no food
38:47Our tarts have worked their magic
38:50And the restaurant
38:51Is filling up quickly
38:52Red
38:53Char
38:54Right
38:55All at the same time
38:56You've got one tart
38:57One gratin
38:58And one salad
38:58Piccolo's new menu
39:00Is a million miles
39:01From the bland
39:02Brown slop
39:02They were serving
39:03Just a few days ago
39:04Think with me
39:08Two tarts in the oven
39:09Okay
39:09If we both think about them
39:11We don't forget them
39:12Okay
39:12There's also a beautiful
39:14Creamy chilled melon soup
39:15And India's beetroot salad
39:18Is an instant hit
39:19I like a good beet
39:21I like that salad
39:23By the way
39:23Nice and fresh
39:25Yeah, delicious
39:25I have a feeling
39:27You all have food in me
39:28So what tables are you ready for
39:33And just for
39:35Seven
39:35Seven
39:36The only problem
39:37Is the rather charmless service
39:39You can put it anywhere
39:41Right, okay
39:42Thank you, chérie
39:45That means move your arse
39:47Yeah
39:48Thank you very much
39:49At least the food
39:51Is keeping everyone happy
39:52Make sure they save room
39:53For dessert
39:54The ashes were beautiful
39:56Yeah
39:57The mushroom thing
39:58Was just spectacular
39:59I always thought
40:00Vegetarian
40:01Because it's bland
40:01But obviously
40:03It's not
40:04It's beautiful
40:05Absolutely beautiful
40:06Vegetarian cooking
40:07Has changed
40:08Rabbit food
40:09Is out
40:10Sexy
40:11Indulgent
40:11Vegetarian cuisine
40:12Is in
40:13Yep
40:15Nice
40:16Yeah
40:16Tonight proves that Piccolo
40:19Has the potential
40:19To be a success
40:20But I'm still very worried
40:22About the future
40:22I'm not
40:25100% convinced
40:26That Rachel has the right attitude
40:28To run a business
40:29And if this doesn't work
40:30And she doesn't
40:32Make money in this place
40:33Unfortunately
40:35She's only got herself to blame
40:36Because it's all here
40:37Right, listen
40:38Don't let me down
40:40Okay
40:41And so far
40:42Yeah, you've done a fucking good job
40:43Okay
40:43Keep it up
40:44Okay
40:44Stay nice and calm
40:45Okay
40:46Work hard
40:47Okay
40:47Yeah
40:47And I know damn well you can do it
40:50Okay
40:50Keep in touch
40:52Yeah
40:53Best of British
40:53Best of British
40:53Okay
40:54See you later
40:54Well done
40:56Thank you
40:57Thank you so much
40:58Thank you
40:58Thank you
40:59Remember that
41:01Okay
41:01Now make it yours
41:02Yes
41:02Thank you
41:03By the end of the night
41:05Piccolo took a record-breaking
41:071,000 euros
41:08Ten times more than the first night I arrived
41:11You're not the head waitress
41:13You're the boss
41:14Okay
41:14Yeah
41:15Yeah
41:16Right
41:17Goodbye
41:17I'll see you soon
41:18And good luck
41:19Yes
41:20Thanks very much
41:21Okay
41:21Keep it going
41:22Yeah
41:23If not
41:24I'll come back
41:25And run it
41:26I'd love to have my own restaurant in Paris
41:28You know that
41:29Good luck
41:30Cool
41:30Thank you
41:31See you soon
41:31Yes
41:31Cheers
41:32Take care
41:32Everything about the restaurant
41:35I think is going to change
41:36Thanks to this experience
41:37So
41:37Really, really pleased
41:39There's just one last thing
41:41I've been dying to do
41:42Before I leave Paris
41:43Fucking hell
41:45Have I missed you
41:46Mmm
41:48Fuck
41:52Oh
41:54I'm back in Paris
42:06And there's bad news
42:07There's a man
42:09Going round
42:11Taking names
42:12Piccolo Teatro
42:13Has clothes for good
42:14Who to free
42:15And who to blame
42:17When I left six weeks ago
42:20The place had huge potential
42:22A great new menu
42:23And a talented young chef in the kitchen
42:25I want to know
42:27Why it all went so wrong
42:29When the man comes around
42:32And the first person I've arranged to meet
42:34Is India
42:35Nice to see you
42:36Nice to see you
42:37What a shame that we're meeting here
42:38Yeah
42:39I was hoping to be back in the Maui
42:40Me too
42:41Me too
42:41Seeing you in the kitchen
42:42Damn, what happened?
42:44You had to go home
42:45Pick up your stuff, etc
42:46I arrived back in Paris
42:47It was a shambles
42:49Complete shambles
42:50It was a mess
42:51There was flies, mice
42:52What, when you came back?
42:54Yeah
42:54It took me like four days to clean the restaurant
42:57But where was Rachel?
42:59She wasn't there
43:01It was me and her father
43:02We opened up
43:03And we'd done a lunch service
43:04You opened up without her?
43:05Yep
43:05Just a beautiful menu up
43:07I'd done all your dishes
43:09And I added some more dishes on
43:10And we'd done a great lunch service
43:13But then Brian just says
43:14No, that's it
43:15I've had enough
43:15What a shame
43:16I'm so sad not to be here
43:18I love it so much
43:19Yeah
43:19And I love the food
43:20Yeah
43:21It's a shame
43:22Rachel's laziness
43:23Has cost India her job
43:24There's no pressure
43:25I want to make sure
43:26Her career doesn't suffer
43:27Let's look at
43:30Getting you some work experience in London
43:31If she's not going to
43:33You know
43:33Take full advantage
43:35Of your level of excitement
43:36Then fuck it
43:37I will
43:37Okay
43:38Okay
43:38Okay
43:38I just can't believe
43:43How irresponsible
43:43And selfish Rachel's been
43:45She's agreed to meet me today
43:47And I want to hear
43:47What she's got to say for herself
43:49Excuse me
43:49Yeah
43:50Where's madam?
43:52Not coming
43:52Oh, come on
43:54Surely she can face the music
43:55At least have a word
43:56I've asked her
43:58I've just asked her
43:59Oh, that's ridiculous
43:5915 minutes ago
44:00Huh?
44:01Three years to come
44:01Gordon, I have no control
44:03Over my daughter
44:04Rachel's immaturity
44:05Is incredible
44:06Brian's been propping up
44:08Her business for years
44:09And now that the mailed
44:11Has hit the fan
44:12She's leaning to it
44:13What a shame
44:14What an absolute fucking shame
44:16I'm sorry
44:17I can only apologise
44:18Brian, you've got nothing
44:19To be sorry about
44:20I'm more sorry for you
44:22Well, these things
44:23Have been gone
44:24We left with a set up
44:26I didn't leave it
44:27In a shit condition
44:28And Rachel didn't try it
44:29I mean, you know
44:31Did...
44:31No
44:31No
44:32From India's point of view
44:34India did her best
44:34She came over
44:35But frankly
44:36She didn't get the back up
44:37India didn't get the back up
44:39So
44:39I felt
44:41Well, I probably didn't get the back up
44:42Either
44:43So
44:43I couldn't see it going on
44:45In an attempt to salvage
44:47Something from the mess
44:48And recoup his investment
44:49Brian is selling the business
44:51What about the debts?
44:52What happens to the debts?
44:53There was two loans
44:54On the business
44:55And I paid one of them off
44:56You're an amazing guy
44:57You've bailed her out
44:5840 minutes late
45:00Rachel decides to show her face
45:02Take a seat
45:04How are you?
45:08I'm fine
45:09Very well, thank you
45:10Uh-huh
45:10When India came back
45:11Excited
45:11And motivated to come
45:13And support your business
45:14And she walked into a shithole
45:16Yeah, it was a mess
45:18It was a...
45:19It was a disaster
45:21Why?
45:23The place was as it was
45:24When you left
45:25You're lazy
45:26You put nothing into it
45:28And you deserve a kick up the fucking arse
45:30Okay
45:30Missy
45:31And I'm amazed
45:32I really am
45:33The point is that I have been stressed out
45:36And not enjoying
45:37I've been stressed out
45:38And since I closed
45:39Decided to close down
45:40I feel like a big weight
45:41Has lifted up my shoulders
45:42I'm sleeping for the first time
45:43In three years
45:44You had
45:45Three possibility
45:46Rachel
45:47Of making this successful
45:48It's a decision I've made
45:50And I'm feeling really happy about it
45:51And it's fascinating to watch you
45:53In a very cocky way
45:54I'm not being cocky at all
45:56And say that I'm feeling
45:57Use your father's money
45:57And abuse it
45:58You're very lucky
45:59Right, I've had enough
46:01Oh
46:01I've had enough of your abuse
46:04I don't need this
46:04Derogation
46:05I don't need it
46:05Sorry
46:06I'm out of here
46:07Abuse
46:08I don't need it
46:10What can I say, God?
46:17What can I say?
46:18Thank you
46:21Again, thanks for coming
46:23Restaurants close easily
46:28Especially when the owners
46:29Aren't committed
46:30110%
46:31To put it back on track
46:33The only saving grace
46:38For my week at Piccolo
46:39Is that I discovered India
46:41I've offered her work experience
46:43At my London restaurant
46:44Boxwood
46:45Just got butterflies
46:47In my tummy
46:47Just want to get in the kitchen
46:48Start working
46:49She'll be joining a brigade
46:51Of 18 chefs
46:52Led by head chef
46:53Stuart Gillis
46:54Good to meet you
46:54Young, tenacious
46:56Talented
46:57And dying to learn
46:58And you love food
46:59That's a starting qualification
47:01For me
47:01Love food
47:01There's no way on earth
47:03I'm going to let
47:03A talented young girl
47:04Like India
47:05Forget her dream
47:06I think she'll be at home
47:07And she can shine
47:09If Rachel
47:10Can't spot
47:12The talent in India
47:13Then I definitely can
47:14This girl's got a great future
47:16I think you'll get 40 calories coming in
47:17So get your head in gear
47:18That was cute
47:20Try the wagyu bin
47:22Okay
47:22You can cover all that
47:24Okay
47:25Indulge
47:25Come on here
47:26I didn't say that much
47:27I'll eat that
47:31It's nice
47:32A vegetarian's delight
47:33Carpaccio wagyu beef
47:35With fucking caviar
47:36I love it
47:36Yeah, I love it
47:37Get in there, my girl
47:39You look dreadful
47:41You look absolutely fucked
47:43There's got to be plates
47:44Wrapped up in cling film somewhere
47:46Under your pillow
47:47No, no
47:48Christ almighty
47:50Came in one night
47:51And it was like
47:52This is the menu you're doing
47:53From tomorrow
47:53That is not the happiest place
47:55In Lancashire to work
47:56Right now
47:56Why the fuck
47:57We all can't work as a team
47:59I don't know
48:00I could quite happily
48:01Walk down and out
48:02And close the doors
48:03I've just totally lost it
48:04I don't know
48:06I don't know
