house so i built this my house the same way that i built this place here [Music] since we came here nowhere i give no life [Music] you know this place destroyed our family after discovering that manny and christina's marriage is on the verge of divorce chef ramsay wants to quickly get a taste of the menu and get a handle on the quality of the food that is being served at katialo hello how are you welcome to you this category the drinks the drinks and this is the menu how much are you doing how long have you been here i'm here since 2000. oh wow so you've been here since a long time wow what is wrong with the place well the two bosses if you have two bosses they have different opinion and but who's right because they don't even sound like husband and wife you try to do things the way one says then the other one say different things and you don't do it one of them screaming why you do it because she say or he say and it's getting worse and worse every day i think wow um shall i order i've got okay let's start with the pasticio what else oh the greek style pork lucanico the classic one okay and then a gyro platter as well please and i think uh i think that is it thank you thank you look at this place god is depressing the colors in there are dreadful ugh horrible juan barticho gonzalo played with lemon potatoes zyro sandwich flesh yes it's coming right now oh the gyre this is the china with the lemon potatoes is it fresh that's coming frozen there gyro wow that'll make it here wow that gyro is terrible why would you serve frozen gyro here that's the style he make it here that's not the way to cook it does anyone ever complain about this yes do you honestly think that is good i don't know what to say well this is embarrassing there's one thing that you should nail a gyro that's the hallmark of any good greek restaurant yes this one he tried this doesn't like it who said that um [Music] okay put it in a nice plate you gotta make it nice this is for chef mc thank you okay this is their traditional mechanical they're greek sausages look at that are they is that deep fried they fry it and they shall tear with their wine when you fry sausage like that the flavor's gone it looks like the remainder of a dog chew that is a mess poo it just smells of fryer where's the white wine and garlic too much grease i mean that's just grease there's more grease in this plate than there is in the greek isles uh i'm so sorry i don't know just taste that please does that remind you of grease only i touch scarlet and grace this area of queens is called flushing right now i'd like to flush these right down the toilet excuse me a lot of garlic there huh [Music] [Music] you okay irene i'm okay i'm okay emmanuel the local was too greasy doesn't have any wine sauce on the bottom was just plain greasy so he can't eat it i don't think it's greasy it's one of the best mechanical that we have in this neighborhood i don't know why he doesn't like it you put it 30 seconds bro let's make it good this time irini can we get this stuff here to chef okay this is the prostitute thank you wow this is dreadful it's like a bland pile of worms it's bland i mean that is depressing when something starts steaming that hot like that in the center it confirms it's been microwaved and that's for that concoction oh my god looks like the intestines look out that is a mess popular yeah that means no wow are we done i'm so sorry yes we have anything else coming no do you want to look for something else the bathroom that's what i'd like to look for sorry [Music] what's wrong with it you're shouting your mother get on yourself okay please i mean hurry you ask me about the table and i say i don't know okay [Music] i'm extremely upset with manny because he should check every dish before it goes out and especially today that we have chef parents here wow uh yeah i i lost the words everything was greasy i can't see any freshness here did you actually cook my lunch did you do anything i did your gyro i did the frozen gyro that gyro is processed it tasted just bland just just it's horrible greek sausage no white wine no red wine no shallot no gum nothing just a greasy mess you nearly choked on it irene it was that greasy it was put in the fryer yes whose idea was that this is an old recipe it's been like this for years i have a very good mechanical [Music] the best if you can't be [ __ ] honest with yourself then i'm not here to [ __ ] you you ask me if you are somebody else i might give you a different rate thief i mean oh you're the [ __ ] owner christina is this the way it's always been no when we started we didn't so put it you know this way it doesn't matter it's it is what it is now why would i hear this it started a year ago yeah i don't know why they changed the recipe that that's how we always do it i'm deeply concerned of the lack of respect and love in your marriage but one thing you've confirmed across this lunch that there's no love in your food i'm embarrassed [Music] i'm pissed off angry the food is not the problem as manny and christina are quick to point the finger at each other for the failure of the restaurant havelin thank you so much for coming to meet me appreciate it how are you chef ramsay decides to get some clarity from their daughter evelyn who works part-time at katyala wow i mean first of all when you think how peaceful and tranquil this setting is it's the opposite end of the spectrum of what i've just left have you witnessed that recently i'm the referee i'm the one that's like all right everyone in the corner calm down yeah how long has it been like this for too long you can have multiple owners in a business but if there isn't one voice you're not gonna get anywhere no you're right you're absolutely right when my dad sees you and you say what are you doing you're not supposed to do it that way at the end of the day what's someone to think so you do your own thing yeah have you seen your father change over the years i have i think the pressure has gotten to the both of them the only problem is he tends to be the first one to check out just go yeah you can see that yeah but you know they're both not perfect and definitely my my mom's made some mistakes as well ready she doesn't like to maybe appease a customer who's upset and my dad she doesn't trust him maybe it's it's easier to point a finger than to look in the mirror this is the most sensible conversation i've had since i've been in queens how close are they to divorcing you know you've been so close as of reason it's you know i can't do it anymore but i do believe it's a lot it it takes a toll on on me because no one wants to see their family that way especially their parents but then you know i don't want them to work 15 hours a day seven days a week for crying out loud you deserve more out of life and they've given so much i wish i had an easy fix i wish i could fix it for them but and they just need they need somebody to bring them back to life they need to just open up their eyes again and just learn to communicate i i feel for you thank you for being honest okay hang in there will you tonight i'm gonna see in the restaurant i'll be on service i'll be everywhere watching everything thank you [Music] this is so how does the line work who operates the grill the grill i operate the grill what are you actually cooking anything that comes charcoal chicken kebabs okay great manny why cut them in the knife you don't know if they cooked yet i want to make sure i don't want that people complaining so you slice them in half they're just gonna go dry but after 14 years you'd think you know how to cook a [ __ ] chicken cube the chicken's dry the chicken is ready tonight chocolate cooked what happened they don't like it it's too dry [Music] who is that where is this coming from this is for the split but it's special yes no no but where it's all hot where's it coming from downstairs so you have a team of chefs downstairs as well no olive oil for women put in the market that's all what you do hello hello hello wow christine there's a lady downstairs that he says stuff huh yeah she puts this in the microwave what is that with so much food coming from downstairs hello jeff ramsey knows he needs to take a closer look at this unusual operation i said there's a lift there okay [ __ ] what was that clean last seriously what's that well look at that there's another one why they keeping this they're gonna kill somebody that's raw meat cooked meat what in the [ __ ] oh my gosh they're gonna be responsible poison olive [ __ ] queens these are all rotten what is going on here i don't know what the [ __ ] is going on have you got two seconds what i saw at lunch time i knew we had problems but i'm more concerned not just about the [ __ ] that's going on upstairs both you and evelyn come here let me show you very quickly how much you've checked out how often are you in this fridge every day every day what is that this is the jar we had earlier take it yeah put on there what's that this is chicken so you've got cooked gyro cooling down and you've got cooked meat sat next to raw chicken in a different tray so in a different tray and on top of covered baskets of chicken you cannot store cooked meat anywhere near raw meat rule number one just smell that just smell that and smell that [ __ ] smell it yes i smell it yeah god what's the smell of can you tell me where that smells off cause he's in denial that sounds like [ __ ] that is disgusting have you any idea how long a jar needs to sit where did you find it where the [ __ ] do you think i found this if it's old we should have just thrown it out there's no reason to keep it any idea how many years that needs to be in all these [ __ ] ears all these jars and my children's life were stored at the back of the fridge just this has been eight years over there oh that is disgusting give me one more excuse and i'm gonna flip my [ __ ] lids this place right now is a [ __ ] hell hole and when you talk about jars of fake caviar in a fridge for nearly eight years that's just an inkling to how dysfunctional this place is because if you're operating it this badly i can help you in two minutes i can give you the best advice you'll ever get lock the [ __ ] door and close it down two hours into dinner service chef ramsay has made some shocking these are all rotten disgusting just smell that and dangerous discoveries that is disgusting and he offers the owners a word of advice lock the [ __ ] door and close it down this is my uh responsibility whose responsibility is it the people that we have here and i'm talking for years you pay cheap workers they do a cheap job this is what they do i think the point is what they do this is the workers we have yeah but someone has to come in and check it i don't know about these things i believe i have no idea that these things were existed in your refrigerator how many times christina you cleaned the refrigerator what is this man what is this man unbelievable who put this bag just close the [ __ ] fridge for a second let me ask you one question yeah so it's someone else's job to do this and it's someone else's job to do that right what's your job as an owner then aren't you supposed to check to see what your staff is doing yes so daddy you have to take some responsibility here are you listening yes i'm listening the point chuck ramsay's trying to make is what's your responsibility you just hired some guy and say oh when you're done you just put this in here and you never [ __ ] check them who's checking them evelyn how many times i told your mother we have to get the new people if that's the only way to to clean house you're still not getting it come on what do you mean stanley getting it and i'm still behind the grill behind this i'm up to here i can it's your [ __ ] restaurant yes i know baby i don't understand why you don't get it daddy you have to take ownership of this place if it's your restaurant you can't just walk around and say you're the [ __ ] owner i need fresh air my father he needs to wake up and smell the greek coffee this is your restaurant you played a really big part in why it's this bad and you cannot point fingers otherwise like chef said close the [ __ ] doors and get out dad [Music] what else do i have to do you need to understand it starts with you you have to stand up and take responsibility it's not my food it's christina's recipes see there you go again [ __ ] it now sam i'm not a hundred percent disposable that's i want you to know that what i've been struggling with is that i don't think you have the will you couldn't have been like this 14 years ago can i just have two minutes with your daughter yes i honestly don't know what to say every time i try to point things out it's just blaming other people he does like to point fingers i've got some serious concerns but right now the only reason why i'm staying is because of you i'm 150 committed you have no doubt in your dad i do now get some rest i'll see you in the morning thank you sir okay okay thank you this morning chef ramsay wants manny and christina to understand how destructive they've been to each other when do we draw a lie on this and say mum dad for god's sake get on the same page and he is hoping with the help of their daughter it's a big ask but i need you to drive that message home they will finally see the damage they have done how are you both um okay bad day yesterday lots of issues and it's impossible to work on any of them because we have to deal with something more important first the both of you evelyn restaurant aside you guys have issues communicating what's really hard for me is to see how just separated you are i don't want to see you be so hurtful towards one another you have so much to be happy about and proud of and it's time that you work together but there's no more pointing fingers i cannot be in the middle it it kills me on the inside it breaks my heart we lost the scouts but we can make it again we have to do it again as a couple as a family i will try my best and i will do my best believe me christina it goes for both of you you have to be supportive with all my heart [Music] we have to do it together we have to share
