Jade Williams I'm not gonna do anything we're gonna end up homeless and it's all because of Kay willies that's coming up on Kitchen Nightmares [Music] South Bend Indiana a middle-class town made famous by the University of Notre Dame just a few miles down the road is Jay Willie's restaurant owned by husband and wife Rick and Tricia and their friend John William this is Richard speaking how may I help you when we took this over it was making great money every year consistently this made great money the day-to-day management of Jay Willie's is left to Jon as Rick and Trisha live over three hours away where they own another restaurant who knows what's gonna happen tonight we assumed that John would be able to uphold the service standards and the food quality that we have and it will continue to make money I can do it and John has run this in to the ground John has just let things go I certainly got off kilter he needs to step up he's gotta be in spark he's got to be the fire he can't just be back there [Music] thank you and contemplating what he's supposed to do he's got to do it it's really been tough since we were struggling and we weren't really bringing in the cash we don't have a shaft in the kitchen I'm just here to serve what he wants me to serve and get it out as fast as possible I got an order up you had a lot of complaints about the quality of the food here it's not much fun working in a restaurant when all you had to experiment with is canned beans and uh enchilada sauce out of the jar the standards have declined so far that I I'm not even sure we can revive it I don't think we'll come back unless something sticks sales have just pretty much flatlined yeah this sucks this is tough now this place is so depressing it's hard to even talk about it because it just makes me want to cry no it's just into complete failure once it closes all the money I put in everything you know my inheritance everything it's gone if we don't make that 20 thousand a week then we're cooked we've cashed in our for one case we have no savings and there's nothing left some I mean if this doesn't work we will no longer be here we're gonna end up homeless and it's all because of Jay Willie's [Music] but it's just you know that's it [Music] today winnings Bar and Grille that's fine but after that Golf is on the bottom whatever a signs flashing it means desperation the outside building well that looks like it closed down ten years ago let's hope in size is much better my god [Music] exciting Rick good to see it Gordon David I see well who put that ghastly sign up outside their wall with a flashing light I believe our owner John is John here yes he is I can't wait to meet him very embarrassed Gordon Ramsay come in here he's a world-renowned chef

ever seen I'm gonna ask my beloved father to bless my food judge when I close a quick favor yes yes which one just blessing my food oh no would you sure yeah if you piece it current absolutely well good and gracious God we ask you bless this food last chef Gordon as he is about to receive it that me nourish him we ask this through Christ our Lord amen thank you fingers crossed Oh God ladies a

what he was talking about the ridge is gonna be right huh what do you think yep perfect thank you I was hoping maybe just maybe he'd like the ribs chef's been doing all right here who's responsible the sauce the chef's recipe it's a generic sauce to shame cause it just destroys the flavor I they are embarrassing I mean you got College in there a mouthful of fat grease on the outside that's not even trimmed that I agree Island very bears didn't like the restaurant sad [Music] what do you want trimmed off the fat all rips out federal John doesn't get it he the war during the inferior rib he's trying to cut corners I'm just so frustrated that I feel like banging my head against the wall [Music] thank you doing enjoy thank you [Music] push this cheese that just like gluey whole pork sandwich

creativeminds responsible for the food Jeff Gordon are you the chef we don't really have a chef how can we don't have a chef the recipes don't really change when everything's prepared the same way you seem to stand proud of us the menu was designed to cut a lot of the labor out cut a little labor out and serve [ __ ] I finally am glad I have somebody who agrees with me as far as the standards on the food John doesn't listen to me hopefully he'll listen to Gordon having a midwest qznu finger the excitement in terms of you know a lovely braised ribs a fantastic source the source was synthetic we sell a lot of them is that an excuse to serve [ __ ] because you said a lot of them are you that lazy all you sell them so [ __ ] you who cares sorry that you stinks can we have a chat as owners yes somewhere yeah together right now Joe ready well that went about as he as I expected dissatisfied with the answers found in the kitchen Gordon takes the owners aside hoping to determine the root of the problem what's wrong with the business John John has to be the leader here he's not taking any ownership passion exactly and there's none I try but without any money the passion is tough when you when you're going downhill how about you waiting for that pledged adults more million - so you'll you and your us is the first and only house I've ever owned yeah we've never owned a house before any children anyway no we can't have kids I'm too busy babysitting to arrest John for she deserves to have kids too [Music] my wife would love to have a child she deserves it but we can't do it because because of J Willy's I mean I just feel so bad because I keep she's such a beautiful woman I'd kick what she she deserves [Music] this wasn't how we planned our lives we are in the [ __ ] we're screwed [Music] Gordon is hoping tonight's dinner service will give him some more answers as to why this restaurant is failing hi there welcome to G willies how you folks doing today [Music] got a 16-inch pizza what's that for special pizza that's a frozen frozen dough ranch dressing and then there were these fish food pellets while they have pre frozen sausage servicing for a piece of my life there's no doubt I've taken some I've cut some corners some of the items are frozen and that's just from a cost point of view it's not that cooked chicken I'm just like cat food in there let's get it fully cooked it's really hard when you're trying to stay open come listen here some baked potatoes you're gonna clean them before they go in there suppose you might cause a stir [Music] we bless Middle America the quality of the food is just not there I wouldn't feed it to my dog it's embarrassing it really is buy it defrost it fryer send it you can't can we sell the restaurant no wonder no one's coming back okay Willy's is doing bad because John is not upholding the standards what ah okay thank you the things that I see in this restaurant it's like he accepts it all and rolled over and died looks like I don't what is that is a shock I'm absolutely devastated I mean they're cutting corners but all the wrong places and John clueless nobody was possible the kitchen but overall is an insult to fast food it's a [ __ ] disgrace why the roofer what's food coming back I don't know what to say food just put in the process line more food coming back that's being sent out I mean it's almost like you guys have just given up I'm standing here much on the floor this was definitely humiliating i opening embarrassing Gordon Ramsay's appearance at the restaurant may have brought in some extra customers but unfortunately the food has scared many of them away Jay Willie's is doing bad because Jon's killing off the business that's the bottom line [Music] after a miserable dinner service Gordon decides that he needs to meet with not only the owners but with the entire staff we have some serious issues like that I wanted you all together to get an idea of how you felt and how does it make you feel when you serve that food embarrassing I'm amazed you guys put up with it it's getting harder and harder every day because the paychecks keep getting slimmer and slimmer our sales are dropping like a rock because of John's inability to make anything happen Rick you're not here you're killing this man over here saying that he's not good at anything if this restaurant wasn't dying so you know you can't blame this on me I cannot come down here and run this restaurant we live 3 & a half hours away John has to do it has to come from John Rick's ridiculous I really just want to punch Rick sometimes to be honest this whole issue is not what the problem is with this restaurant from here whether we all like you're not is the food sucks and it's not fresh and even frozen food is handled badly all three of you should be ashamed to stand there and allow it to go on is it time to get somebody else in to run it I mean you know have you had enough I believe it's still in me I just need somebody of help I need the right cover my back all three of you need to wake up and wake up quickly coming up where's that hair wondering why the business is on his arse Gordon uncovers more problems at Jade willings I wanted to hide my face of people and associated me with such crap forcing the owners to take drastic action unbelievable is the staff in this restaurant so clueless I don't know what that it may be impossible for Gordon Ramsay to turn them around I'm not gonna do anything it's that you're ready to commit up next on Kitchen Nightmares after the staff meeting Gordon takes a peek into the kitchen storage estava and uncovers the unthinkable this is basic hygiene doesn't get drained of the blood is sound a warm kitchen it's not even cold John there's more when chef Gordon pulled those potato skins out I knew that he had found something that I wasn't gonna like hold on that's gonna be deep-fried tomorrow yeah that's really gonna make it taste better right it tastes a rock and we're sat here wondering why the business is on his ass it starts at the top John it's called responsibility no wonder you've given up I've been in denial and I've lowered my standards and it takes somebody like a Gordon Ramsay to come in and wake you out rotten Tomas is soft rotten rotten peppers the whole box is wrong I wanted to crawl him at the table and hide my face so people wouldn't associate me with such crap if you seriously are honest with yourself that you are starting again then we start again Wow we'll do whatever it takes I'll be [ __ ] ashamed chef's [ __ ] bears where do I start the problems in this Russian the stuff have got their issues but that's irrelevant the clique problem is the food and the quicker they all get up to speed without [ __ ] the food is the better cuz that is embarrassing yeah Chef Ramsay challenge [Music] I guess we start youtuber I guess I was absolutely ecstatic that he was throwing everything away it has been a huge complaint for a long time it's a huge amount of food that we throw away in this evening we're starting fresh and that means getting rid of everything when I finally saw John throwing out food that he would have otherwise say I knew that we were taking the first step to making progress okay this is fresh start to a fresh day after the owners took it upon themselves to clean out their restaurant this morning Gordon is looking for the owners to bare their souls good morning how are we good tough day yesterday Rob cleaned out the restaurant clean out the kitchen and I'd like to think we started a new chapter I want to chat with you I want to clean out our conscience Rick go first yeah let's go [Music] okay clearing your conscience is about reaching inside and being honest with yourself yeah biggest fear is what my fate rests in John's hands and that really scares me I want this to work desperately I've just haven't got much to work with that's what I'm struggling with most people who face the pressure in the problems I have give up and I refuse to do that I will fight till the last dog dies I like your determination you know I appreciate chef who'd you turn to I don't have a anybody to voice my concerns so it's been top everything's pretty much inside that's not easy truthfully I'm just struggling to find an internal flame have you got it because I don't feel it with support I've got it inside me it's there what I saw last night was huge what I felt last night was huge and what I feel this morning I'm ready to go before to seen you later Trish what do you want to see happen I want John to BJ Willie if I could take half a rig and put it in Jon's body I think things would be a little bit better he'd have more enthusiasm a little bit more passion he's just lacking and not Thank You Trisha Thanks having gained a deeper understanding of the owners situation Gordon is ready to start implementing his plan beginning in the place that leads it the most comfort the kitchen look all that ingredients what's that for berry sauce excellent its barbecue sauce first off garlic ketchup chili ground coffee soya sauce spice first off olive oil yeah quite generous on the other Bowl that gives the shine on the sauce yeah it was an absolutely amazing experience working with Gordon Ramsay nicely caramelized I'm just an utter R of his ability as a chef and then a molasses that gives it its barbecue flavor okay that is that barbecue sauce we're serving fresh homemade barbecue sauce tonight in addition to the new J Willie's signature barbecue sauce Gordon introduces a new hamburger special that J Willie's has never offered before one made with fresh ingredients homemade burger so with a homemade barbecue sauce and fresh cuts homemade fries are you ready yes as customers arrive the kitchen prepares the new burger special for serving real food tonight and everyone seems eager to make tonight's service a success we have a homemade fresh ground beef burger yes thank you got your ticket go ahead and go get those fries coming for orders you can do it tonight prove it yes it's a half hour into dinner service coby's are done and the new burger specials are flying out of the kitchen it's incredible in there the difference in the energy is extraordinary and it just goes to prove one single thing on the menu freshly made homemade sells like hotcakes the tickets kept coming in and I got real nervous I could barely read the tickets ATM Wells and a medium take that too well done it's five mid-well thought you said to medium I'll make it make it a PT well dude I need you to tell me what I have dude right now I'm all [ __ ] up I was frustrated I wanted to throw stuff I wasn't okay with the organization at all [ __ ] dude I don't know what's going on I'm [ __ ] up burgers burgers well-done no it was you said mid well that's done dude right got an order up thank you despite the confusion over the burgers further burger burger they are rushed out to the dining room a new burger and the customers are in for an unpleasant surprise how many buddies are left one more burger okay Christian 86 burger yes yes all right yes yes make sure every no second please sir Chris I need to read cooks medium on the fly yeah we can't make that burger we're completely out of grumpy oh my gosh all of a sudden burgers came back undercooked overcooked and it's unbelievable I got another recut this is Rebecca we're all kind of freaking out you know it was scary burger sitting over here burgers here burgers here and I don't know what to do it's an hour into dinner service and the kitchen has run out of its special fresh hamburgers we're completely out of ground meat and the burgers that have been served are unfortunately coming back with no one taking control of the situation I don't know what the kitchen and the restaurant for that matter is in a state of confusion I was just gonna keep trying to put the food out so we started making the burgers on sourdough bread then using the frozen french fries and the frozen ground beef in an effort to make good on the orders a desperate kitchen staff lowers its standards and starts delivering cheap substitutes that is all we have is a bun and the disappointment combined with the long wait is too much for one customer to boys that punish one of the 86 it when I said take it off we were dropping the standards just a bit but we were under tremendous pressure because there were so many people out there that were anxious to try the food if you haven't got the live buns you should be selling it the most important lowering the standard just to keep it on it doesn't believe such a shame because it got off to a really good start but then Fannin started dropping but John and Rick accepted the standards dropping and they just were happy to send slop so a real Saturn into the evening because right now we're back to square one [Music] you should be ashamed I busted my balls all day today thinking a way of Marcos in his place and putting it back on the map [ __ ] it can't do it I'm not gonna do anything it's I'm a hundred percent convinced but you guys are ready to turn the corner I seriously want to help I need to know from each and every one of you that you're ready to commit I'm ready to commit okay see in the morning I'm here early taking the staffs word of commitment to heart Gordon moves forward with his plan to transform Jay Willie's from a dreary restaurant into a more inviting establishment hi guys good morning now he feeling PC yes they look great Jay Willie's Bop yes this is gonna be the best barbecue house in town yes Rick what's the matter thank you look if we don't execute all right this is [ __ ] you're absolutely right but we are going to play dress trends tonight and let's get positive you own part of this place so I'm gonna be looking towards you to drive this forward yes yes last night the minute you guys left yeah my team arrived I've been working all night let's go now come through first of all you have a plan you paint final tablecloths yes I'm so overwhelmed there are no ports look at it unless the brick facade to give us some warmth oh my gosh it's classy yeah it's overwhelming for me just everything blew me away wool vibrant and exciting carpet first time in 15 years hey John keep it clean yes John what do you think

career as well as my attitude and I just there's so much potential I just can't wait with the staff energized by the changes to the restaurant Gordon now unveils his plan for the food seventy-five items on the last menu no wonder we can control it hey it's now in half it's fresh and it's gonna be quick from the homemade burger the BLT to the pulled pork potato skins no processed cheese anywhere barbecued chicken spicy chicken wings and legs yes at this point I think with the momentum that Chef Ramsay has given us we are now committed to making this thing right I'm gonna do something I've never ever done before I've had my concerns about the lack of strength in the kitchen they need a proper training and a proper insight to what's going on I'm bringing in not one not two but four chefs

you a little less expensive cheese no [Music] no the staff has changed John has changed I'm overwhelmed with sincere thanks for Chef Ramsay without him we would not be here now what's the feedback
