defuse a fight in this kitchen right now Holy Smoke welcome to Babylon [Music] now that Gordon has sampled their menu it's time for a heart-to-heart with the Pellegrino family I like to be told the truth nothing but the truth and the truth so I look at things [Music] coming up always fascinating what you find at the back of a fridge Jordan shocking kitchen investigation like something out of a sci-fi movie leads to a confrontation with the family it can become famous the next 24 hours poison half of Avalon will Gordon and Peter ever see eye to eye dude this place will run better without you or will this Chuck guy continue to wreak havoc on his restaurant that's coming up on Kitchen Nightmares it's day two and Gordon has already discovered that the specialty of this restaurant is arguing now it's time to investigate the state of the kitchen awesome this one bloody hell what is in there rolls Red Rocks temperature the fridge is not even cold so subs were awesome mold moldy decay rotten onions they look like camel's turd it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie oh my god do you that it's like the fridges dripped all over it the whole thing's leaking here laughs tears rain water inside go down [Music] hey me thanks very sorry make something happen I had an acceptable weapon I had picked up something that came in directly to you inadvertently to wrong place this was like an actor guard this morning let me show you something that I hope will be nice Tina Angelo as well yeah have a look at this when was last time you went inside a walk-in fridge two walk-in fridge [ __ ] yeah I had a hot flash last week no hot flash what does that mean I mean it was like hot and they walked in here for a second look there's onions growing on top of onions but here's worse unfortunately don't think leaking here a chef you can become famous in the next 24 hours boys and a half of Babylon you ought to be ashamed that is sour and has to be four weeks old just just just smell that for me no no just this moment yeah okay justice smelly though Gina would we really serve that no what does it just fall under the chef's job well well this is your fridge business oh yeah okay before I catch something yeah it's so terrible it's like your tones somebody telling you your kid is ugly this is ridiculous walking boxers a mess but you know what that walking box is exactly how we felt about working in the kitchen it's like blame everything on me your body mates why is in Chicago Hurricane Katrina 9/11 what I mean I've never seen something like this don't seem like a baby please clean the place you're embarrassing me never see something like this this is unbelievable before Gordon initiates any changes he wants to make sure that the kitchen is spotless how we doing ladies I believe Peter is a core problem of the restaurants dysfunction and he isn't concerned much about anybody else but himself [Music] the kitchen is now cleaner than it has been in years and Gordon can now focus on observing tonight's dinner service [Music] there's nothing in that business is rough return I may have to sell my watch that's $40 sorry it's fake no thing as fake as my teeth once the way they bleach how much that cost thousands of visit first mine twice a day it's been such a long time since I have the equipment here it's bothering me but it's nothing I can do about it it's not my restaurant what doesn't work all these stovetops here don't work the broiler doesn't work properly this oven does not work we use it as storage we keep our towels and stuff in here what was last time a new piece of equipment was built in this kitchen and they never put a nickel in that kitchen is the heart of the restaurant when that's hurt it's like a clogged artery you're gonna have a big problem with most of the kitchen equipment not functioning it's virtually impossible for the chef's to do their jobs and their frustration is being felt by the entire staff don't keep asking for it done when there's a chaotic night here I have Roberts screaming when the fish is already that's when they're gonna come out he's an excellent chef but he's crazy take them take this out gotta keep [Music] can you see if my son the doctor wants my bottle of wine I love ya thanks folks down the bottle of wine on Peter you all right who's got super drink it's dr. Compton I see the dad the dad discount do you take every person would you put on the business goes off the tartlets been scaring me it's only business I think they said that the Godfather charge my doctor trust me he earns enough yeah it's like a little meeting place here I know we're spending money the combination of Peter spending a great deal of money on himself and giving away free meals has put the family business in jeopardy now a bill collector makes an unexpected visit [Music] [Music] [Music] adding this now I talk to other people too that he's in that with that called me up he said if there's anything I could well I just wanted to talk to him now wasn't the time after Peters brush with an overzealous bill collector Gordon checks in with his sister and restaurant owner Tina I know I've just arrived me how'd you manage oh I'm motivated by all the nice people that come in to visit me but I'm having a breakdown tell me your big-ass frustration it was the one big issue that you have from the kitchen so my brother just it seems like everything like a freefall like everyone's just doing what they want I get so exasperated sometimes so stressed out that I want to cry or commit bloody murder but this pizza play bound in financial side he'll take his paycheck but not come in I come in and they'll tell me Oh Peter took $200 [Music] that's like if you break even for the day and he's like money you can't do that how long can you continue function like this with honor and I can't I can't do either I would sooner sell the business I'm not a martyr I feel like I'm doing it on my own and that's the part about it I resent it's not fair if this doesn't work you know what's at stake in terms of you know how much would you lose my house your house this is crazy because the true definition of a family business is every member of that family working within to make it successful not one person carrying the burden it's day three and a perfect time for Gordon to give the family a much-needed wake-up call this business will set up 17 years ago as a family business yes yes today we're gonna renew that commitment we're gonna make it more family than ever before this is what we're gonna do you yeah with your father when they go and run the kitchen you're gonna cook you want to run the kitchen hey I want you to go work in that kitchen and just experience what it's like behind that line and what were you dad you like food you certainly eat enough of it here you're gonna run the dining room with your mum okay here in the kitchen they get familiar with what's going on Peter no machine could buy a new machine and more learning Peter's like one of those guys he eats out a lot so he assumes he knows about cooking in restaurants he has no clue about the kitchen hello welcome while Peter and his father are settling into the kitchen Gordon is packing the dye with customers mafia fan make me an expresso please don't leave yourself I just want my mother get me Express automated Express sir is he always like this yeah is he oh my god if my dad and my brother were the chef's I think there'd be a mass murder here the first orders in I need black olives or artichokes right underneath here could someone set the us off hold on now is that it is that you're probably I'm having a meltdown here are we ready to order do you need a few minutes [Music] I need chicken any chicken in front of your eyes okay Peter is he's a 250 pound spoiled baby okay that's put the cat among the pigeons Peter's now get a taste of his own medicine he's now seen how difficult it is to cook in that kitchen but nothing that works so this is embarrassing because this should have been a family close that tight one restaurant it's an hour into lunch and there's still no food coming out of the kitchen we just burnt the chicken through the weed we just believe me look for Hornet hide somewhere so don't get me Tina please I need arms juice you want Tina to stop now get your college I have anybody juice itself what I beg your pardon Oh take it easy take it easy killer I wanna see what big boys made oh come on let's go yeah yeah let's go big boy all right finally someone told listen buddy don't act like you're the earth the Kingdome here because you got nothing unbelievable now that Gordon has proved his point about the inadequate kitchen he realizes he has to do something quickly for the restaurant to be ready for relaunch Gordon didn't you know attack Peter in the right way because he saw him as being you know a big shot a guy trying to act like a big shot do me a favor yeah go get some fresh air yeah I'm gonna get a better cure policy Wales will do something [Music] it's day 4 and although Peters work ethic has been a disappointment Gordon still decides to introduce the first phase of his transformation plan right today is a new beginning a new chapter for Peters restaurant yes the one thing that really needs to take place here is a commitment we're gonna implement changes follow me please yeah through to the kitchen welcome to your new kitchen Gordon brought in the finest kitchen specialists who worked overnight to give this restaurant something it's sorely needed a proper kitchen I think we were all starting to lose steam here and give up and any you brought us back to a sunny day your new kingdom this is really a good thing no I can really have a real kitchen where I can actually do things the right way I've invested in this now I want to see you with opportunity comes responsibility and I think that's what Gordon was trying to point out you know what I've given you what you asked for now your responsibility to use it respectfully time for the chefs and Gordon to put the new kitchen to use as Gordie begins to change the menu there we go I want to focus on family-style dining we're gonna be making simple stunning classic Italian foods okay Sonya I'm very excited tonight to cook with God definitely an honor cook with someone like him I fell into a bit of a rut culinarily and now the Gordon's giving me this new menu to work with it's a revitalizing kind of feeling you know let's go Gordon introduces a new family style menu that will separate Peter's restaurant from the competition there's one six seven italian restaurants out there in Babylon one thing that can separate this restaurant from the others is running this like a true family restaurant Gordon came about the idea of family style which i think is an exceptional idea we needed something to help us stand out for tonight's dinner service the parsley covered ravioli and the cold crab cakes have been replaced by fresh homemade family-style dishes such as lobster ravioli the penne a la Sonia grilled flank steak capellini and noir Quetta and then we'll Chetta which is beautiful you know these are dishes that are popular this is now a time for you to sort of really seriously start getting that message out there it's so simple okay guys have you got a big big big big launch again yeah big time [Music] with a brand new kitchen a redesigned menu and a new strategy that reaches out to families the restaurant is ready to attempt its big relaunch it snowed with the doors about to open Gordon gathers the staff for a quick chat okay tonight is a critical crucial night are you with us or you okay we're really busy right now once again Peters has a bill collector on its doorstep well you all ready to fill out some time gonna wake ya the way what why don't you go in the way so we can go on why don't you go No get out the way you want to talk to you I'm saying going away [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] this guy [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] they Corbett won't tell you come in here [Music] come in killing killers incentive five guys to toss right there Jeremy you guys are on their way right now [Music] Colette that's common in this place calm down hey I told to get out are you okay they fight a lot you know these things happen relax relax relax relax let's see outside two seconds walk fresh air come on with me let's go let's go don't conduct that in my business that's first of all second of all I didn't like the way he spoke to you always disrespectful relax relax relax relax big deep breath yeah I'm here to help after using a crucial preparation time for everyone to cool off Gordon needs to get Peter and the staff focused for tonight's relaunch big big big night I mean a seriously big night yeah new menu new family-style dining new attitude this could be the big turning point for this restaurant use this opportunity to show off how good we can be good luck there is excitement in the restaurant about the new menu do the fish it's excellent but back in the kitchen it's up to the chef's to execute big tables are all order and family-style now what was sudden we're working with all this new stuff it's like alien cranberry juice salt Sun cranberry actually apple juice pineapple juice with a lot of ice and a splash of cranberry it's good for my yoga it's an hour into dinner service and the restaurant has not been this full in 7 years let's set this up for 14 right now right now they've got a 14 top just arrived and this is a true test now because family style should make their life a lot easier oh they can go be a disaster it's so busy Tina Tina you have a throat lozenger Peter has an owner he should step up - you know what move his ass hold it more because he's in la-la land I don't know what to go you know this table right here yeah bring them an appetizer - [Music] and when Peter does decide to lend a hand so hungry man instead of serving the baked clams for koalas he wouldn't see me I'd only get over he decides to sample them excuse me Peter I gotta ask you for one favor I delicious what what is going on here yeah we need another dozen de clams one of yours run out it does it's the weight on my baked clams all right I'll take care of you with that where school guys should I come try come back next week for the baked clams should I go down the block for the other restaurant promise he'll you'll have it okay fire is filling up new menu new kitchen new family-style dining but Peter it's like a semi now no honey I'll take a cappuccino if you could make me a two equals please it was really difficult I mean you know my legs hurt my tired it's it was harder than the gym it was really harder than the gym when Gordon puts the pressure on Peter maybe 50 minutes for plans Peter takes it out on his staff no one came to your table yet Paul you kidding me sable must be my table okay what was supposed to be taken right now right now he was yelling at me if one of my customers four things that I didn't do wasn't supposed to be my table but I do this it's hard for him to you know realize that he did something wrong so he takes it out on everybody else get the one bottle on me right now for all your comedy of errors can I thank you so you cost me a bottle of wine just get them to bottle of wine please Virna know why Peter's temper is like that I mean he's in everybody's way everybody else just brushes it off but I guess I just take it a little personal when he's screaming at my table that's ridiculous how could you cry she was like a machine gun she just started shooting all this stuff out she looked like she was having some sort of meltdown ridiculous you embarrassing me right no doubt it oh my god I never seen something like this [Music] thank you very much with over 200 satisfied customers the relaunch is a success in spite of feeder this place was a success and is now pissed through your hands well it is what it is what it is you've neglected it I understand but right now we're not in a situation money-wise to fix it well the time what do you think it says you little sound to get your massage and get fed you're walking around this place with a bowl of food and eating away that's not how I run my business don't get headache I don't think you've seen a day's work twenty years I've had my own personal problems we all have problems problem problem problem problem problem you're no different let's start working at the problem what's the problem what was the problem that's why I'm starting excuse me [Applause] Hey that's this guy you're right I'm nuts could you go cool to worry about right now have you oh this thing recently you sound like you had the Godfather yeah what is going on here you're the only here right now it's not pulling their way and that's not good enough I think this place will run better without you I think this place will run better without you ay-ay-ay disagree you disagree our shirt brands and I'll take responsibility for a lot of things that was about as convincing as a I'm here I [Applause] need two minutes with you on your own you go I've seen the morning I love him tonight go home and come back tomorrow morning and think about what are you gonna put back into the business tomorrow think about it and make sure it's good cuz I'm gonna be here to make sure you do it never speechless I don't know what to say I'm like I'm a little hurt what I'm seeing now is he said to me everything all these people wanted to say to me and have it so maybe Gordon's right you know what I'm gonna say maybe goings right Gordon is right I'm committed I'll be back and I'll do what he says it's for the good of the business and in the end this place is me this place is made this is me this is what I do so I gotta make it work [Music] - Gordon surprise the next morning he found Peter on the phone calling to fix the walk-in fridge you need our walk-in box fix leaking head there's rain water I want you to come here and do whatever it leads to I've done I'm really amazed that Peter is taking the initiative and putting the new walkin box and now with an entire new kitchen Robert and John have a new attitude and the family-style dining is a huge hit with the customers and with the word-of-mouth spreading profits are soaring the end of the night we made more money we made more money this way it's unbelievable soon as they calm down I'll show you to reach out to the community Peters hosted the first ever Babylon family day [Music] this is a huge great start to to push the new family theme come in my family will serve yours and to make the relaunch complete Peter decided the restaurant needed one more thing may the blessing of Almighty God the Father the Son the Holy Spirit this was a rebirth so it needed its blessing in the weeks ahead Peter was more helpful I'll get something yeah I'll get some extra plates too he made amends with Nicole all right my priorities were mixed up instead of trying to be like you know the boss oh I'm gonna be a team player hearing whatever needs to be done I'm gonna do I'm gonna jump in and gonna ask people if they need help with things and even provided Tina with the help she needed I mean I'm thrilled I even think Peter will do his part I really do think he's gonna keep his commitment I'm sorry let's just confirm one thing shall we we've got a taste of how good this restaurant can be absolutely and just comparing to why experience the first time I arrived here tonight the difference was night and day before Gordon got here this place was nose-diving a man reinvented my restaurant I think now he's given us all our spark back you cannot make this work you're mad you've got a potential goldmine here that can make every one of you successfully rich we are definitely on our way to success here now we have to take the ball and run with it thank you for the commitment yeah yeah we've been giving all the help in the world time for us to shine and we got what we need and I'm ready to do it build it all of Gordon's ideas stemmed to keep this restaurant synonymous with family we all love each other so that's my main ingredient now for the restaurant and I think that's so important $3,000 for extra material okay I really fell in love with him my first son is gonna be named after Gordon Gordon Ramsay Pellegrino oh I'd really brought our family much closer together God butter yes thank you at this time they can stay together and commit to this Russian it will be successful but stop fighting you you [Music]
