here and I try to take pride in my work but I don't think the food is good Michael needs the eye-opener pick it out okay here we go [Music] while diners try to digest their food Gordon is having a hard time digesting what he sees in the kitchen is that how we heat it we blast it in the microwave that's very Italian that's cooked chicken so you have the roll field next to the cooked chicken come on the Cubs are to blame for their part if they make a mistake I can live with that but something by being irresponsible and neglectful there's no excuse look at that crap in here bloody house bells what's that in there is that calamari that said the air comes in definitely fresh now that I know for a third fresh it's frozen you buy this in fresh it is not fresh calamari we user here is all frozen [Music] what is that in there why is that I think it's real stuff you figures feel pretty sure it's do you put it in there not in powder what is up it looks like meat thrown in the pan or what is it though I don't know it's now labeled hey forget the orders for five minutes and come here dude Daryl to come round don't worry about the cooking for now I've got more [ __ ] issues whereas last

embarrassing was mortifying he comes in something that so easily identifiable and no one noticed how is that possible show you something for two seconds tomorrow I am absolutely horrified that's from Thanksgiving and that's a slimy bye old sticky flounder and a sour disgusting cream sauce I mean honestly this restaurant has been run like a pigsty you may be resistant to change but what's become very clear is that your resistance to quality Michael should have been a boss to begin with and have dishwashing you have it done should have been done Oh all of you come here let's go come here how can we work like that you've got ingredients from last Thanksgiving did you smell the flounder yes did you see that cooked chicken the raw pork the raw video it's a joke you should be ashamed of yourselves under no circumstances can we continue to serve food shut the place down after discovering disgusting and dangerous practices at Leone's kitchen under no circumstances can we continue to serve food Chef Ramsay has no choice but to shut the place down you go in the dining room now and just apologize get [ __ ] cleaning get it going Jay tell them no more service for the rest of the night are you still there done cleaning what do you think not at all just embarrassed I'm [ __ ] embarrassed everybody everybody I'm sorry to interrupt you everybody I'm sad to say and embarrassed to say that we're closing down the only for the night not up to par it's not me you deserve so I apologize for you inconvenience I thank you for choosing Leone's but right now is the bus my [ __ ] down shut it down you shut it down sorry guys never mentioned very last by pantyhose this thank you them sorry Victor sorry about that ladies I'm feeling disappointment I feel they merely telling everyone that they can't eat up my own restaurant you sit down please [Music] that's the lowest batting practice kitchen I've ever seen that's very neat it says no a Michael yeah I caught you let it happen on a daily basis do you need to run your business I capture knowing your mother's eyes you don't have you ever walked into your kitchen and opened the door to your refrigeration units and call them hours night ed but I want to acquire enough are they say oh my stop it ma stop it you're oblivious it's happening under your own nose they don't give a [ __ ] because you don't dialer is he lazy yes John is he lazy yes sir truly is amazing yes mama yes right now we have a room full of individuals that don't believe in your conviction to run this place prove to me and more importantly to your mother and you'll stop that you are ready to lead like a manager who doesn't manage my gas [Music] telling me a rag with some soap and water I don't feel like I've given up but I feel like I'm broken I'm angry at myself I think as the boss of the restaurant it was just irresponsible is he capable taking care of this restaurant for myself I don't know I think seeing is believing what's the matter what's the matter huh we're gonna turn the ship around my mother put in almost 20 years of my life in this place her spirit her money I'm crushed that I might learn out I want to make it good but the truth is I don't know if I could turn it around and it's a scary feeling it really is get out of a get some rest okay okay after shutting down Leone's chef ramsay realizes Michael and his staff need to have their eyes opened and he's arranged something appropriate at an art gallery only half a block away take a look at this amazing exhibition come in look at that what do you see food what kind of food you see on there what will in town very pleasurable to the eye is it inviting yeah this is your competition only blocks away from the owners Michael I went to five restaurants this morning lovely thank you I took the pictures and trust me after shooting those dishes I ate everything they don't only look great Wow that was delicious but they taste amazing I was glad that Michael got to see what else was in the neighborhood instead of living in the denial that food is fantastic your dishes set an impression and they remain in people's memories so let's take a look at these dishes from another local restaurant these restaurants called that's right Leone's great guys the food yes Wow I've never seen such an outdated mess in all my life take a look at that and then turn around and have a look at your competition come on Trudy what's the message I'm trying to get across get your [ __ ] together your food is no comparison to what's in the neighborhood I can't believe it but I'm embarrassed to serve food like that chefs open my eyes to to the neighboring competition and I think it takes someone outside the family and your friends to tell you how it is today we move in this direction let's get back to the earnest and get started let's go I think it's time for change and I gonna be the best Italian restaurant in town with Michael finally realizing how much his restaurant has slipped Jordans next move is to push Michael to better understand his business when was the last time you cooked anything never and that means working in the kitchen I want you here to watch me now cook a delicious Phil chop and are simple capellini but know what to do with me you don't need to be an amazing chef to understand when your chefs going badly wrong use your hands continue being blindsided by your brigades I need you to start leading from the helm you start running your business okay Phil chop let's go to be the man of the house I have to take all the responsibility I mean I have to take a kick in the ass a lot of people depend on me back he's following me every step of the way touch of olive oil in there you salt and pepper put on the bone why we cook it on the bone more flavor right get that pan nice and hot how do you know when the oils major a light smoke come up there got the sear in there Wow leave that searing away there's never crossed your mind to come in a cook from time to time I sort of know it's one of those things as the Italian Prince my mother always did the cooking it even s from my mind it is very embarrassing I don't want different positions my restaurant I think it's time for change the most important things to see you know I'm leave my pride aside I want to do that really nice there there we go into completely seven minutes okay capellini in gently now gently push and pull back nice okay let's go check out bill [Music] they're ready chef I want you to tell me for once I want to pull it right now let's go then pull it cooking with Chef Ramsay has given me great confidence in myself and in my restaurant I'm sure I will make some errors but I have to learn has to come the hard way efficiently how do they look fantastic do they belong in the gallery or the garbage gallery okay dig in guys please dig in dig in dig in that is all it just melts in your mouth I love the fact that someone above Michael that had the knowledge he finally pushed him it was very good for Michael Tolleson so what do you think of the Veil the veil was excellent yeah it's probably the best food that's ever come out of that kitchen the staff when they seemed to food they looked at me in a different light knowing that I could do the job and I wasn't just a bump on a log that gets in the front I don't think I've seen Judy peor smile in about two years for the first time Danny tried it's like I couldn't believe it you may recognize him from Sally's ass outside watching television that guy's gone now yebin you Michael let's go after feeling a
