nasty battle with the community it was afraid for my life what death dress and her staff was ready to revolt your Roux [ __ ] then we visit her Ellis in Philadelphia where the family business was so bad that one owner had completely lost his confidence I stayed bankers were afraid to get up while his wife had completely lost her patience and lastly Chef Ramsay travels to Montclair New Jersey to get an update on Leone's under no circumstances can we continue to serve food I'm sad to say if we're closing down the Oni for the night we're a lazy owner the major problem here is there's no manager nobody in control this restaurant it's hard for me to really show passion was ruining the restaurant that his mother had worked so hard to build get ready for a night of surprising updates as we find out who stayed on the road to success and who veered off turning the restaurant back into a nightmare I'm pissed off you seven wilson foods iseman kill them therefore a child you wake up okay as soon as I leave a restaurant I'm always wondering whether they stuck to the plan and I know you do also tonight I'm going to show you three restaurants I visited last year and you will be surprised at what I found out first up Cafe hon in Baltimore and the Maryland a suburb of Baltimore when I first arrived I visited a local radio station to find out restaurant owner Denise whiting was at war with the community she had trademarked the term hun which is a cultural icon in Baltimore he was threatening businesses with lawsuits the lawsuit somebody went that far he demanded legal fees from somebody that was making tourist stuff with just the word hung on it after finding out what I was in for I mean she's always become the ante hung yes it was time to go to Cafe hon and actually meet the owner but before I made it inside I was faced with a giant and I mean a giant pink flamingo holy mackerel I'd hoped that the restaurant wasn't on his last leg as well I desperately needed a head Denyce his side of the story the problem is I federally registered the hon as a as a trademark people scream at me from across the street just horrible things gonna but I mean I was afraid for my life did you not sue anyone I never sued anybody you didn't sue anybody did you threaten to sue anybody no but Denise wasn't telling me the truth I've done my own work before I got here I did I see you're not being fair now after setting us straight the next step for me what's the taste of food then I met my lovely server Amanda Amanda love the hair yes I know boy her hair was wonderful Wow look at you they sure do love their hairspray in Baltimore little bit that Asami do you stick to the fish sadly the food was atrocious stone cold I don't understand this is perfect perfect trust me they were far from perfect and I could tell already doesn't have my hands full with Denise that night at dinner service this asparagus all right I'm tired of seeing the asparagus different kinds of ways you cut off the ends and you blanch them I could not believe how Denise ran harassment any turkey on the board eighty-six the turkey she was 86 in the whole frickin menu 86 biscuits you guys are 286 the potpie of the 86 the catfish love the item French fries I thought she could eighty-six me next we don't have my god sorry that was Austin happy to go this bar after seeing her better leader Denise was I decided to talk to her staff about her behavior she throws up 20 the girls and doesn't they're stupid or she gets up to my face her hair she focuses on a lot of the superficial things she micromanages it was clear that her very loyal staff were deeply affected by her actions it was time to confront Denise Denise you are your rude [ __ ] ouch and I'm tired of it Denise you're the negative in the restaurant people don't like you they did not hold back but that's exactly what the nice needed to hear I'm sorry that I've been a bit overbearing to lose this business would be for me to lose my soul and I can only say that this is the beginning of a new day beneath his apology was I step in the right direction but the bigger issue was a relationship with her community so I hatched a plan I put together a select group of people I'd like you to hear from okay okay please jump in the car hits this on Denise was forced to listen she pushes everyone around she's focused when Denise whining and if you don't like it you're gonna be sorry what would it take for this community to embrace Kathy hunt again just a walkway from the train.the tremor she has to benefit all claim to it say was a mistake does not own it the niece had a big decision to make give up the hunt trademark or lose your restaurant would she do the right thing I am so sorry for the animosity and the hatred and everything that trademarking a word just a word it's done please forgive me that must have taken a lot of courage to say that but you never said you were gonna give him the trademark back yes wow this is amazing

this way once we changed in here let me get it Tommy all transitions and do the new person all right buddy Table five five and six make the salads up aye [Music] okay great shape I'm telling you I

happier inside therefore you see I'm definitely from before me emotionally in a way better place way better you did get back to what a place to fill up that mission it's not easy to find your manual when things are going bad and he put that bag or import it back for me [Music] please busy I actually like coming to work now yeah he's a la presume oh my god yeah he learned how to take control of his business without letting the business take control of him and that's the biggest change in Tommy take a I'm dying to taste this when was this made a really really good indeed last time I was here he was walking around with his head in the sand he was still giving you food ten out of ten and I stand behind our food the food was disgusting how you feeling now I feel the nails ten out of ten and I'm happy because he's happy with Tommy lines working together running a business together raising a family together we're more confident together this is the happiest the time when I've been because

life-changing experience it's been an unbelievable anything brilliant he's a hundred percent behind me which is a great feeling it's a great feeling all right listen keep it up with you yes yeah seriously yes well done thank you I give a girl figure seriously thank you put those holes in the wall okay take care Thank You chef I love you Wow I am so surprised I mean I had my doubts about Tommy but he has really stepped up and taken the bull by the horns and now isn't in tow of his business and Deana she is completely transformed and as a couple they are united stronger than ever before and I really believe that chiarella's now in on his way to being back on top where it belongs coming up Chef Ramsay goes back to New Jersey where Michael went from the laziest owner to a hard-working manager and he one Cod one our chat night find out if he is still leading his restaurant through SAS unsent disappointed or has his old habits resurfaced that's coming up on Kitchen Nightmares revisited Montclair New Jersey home to Italian restaurant Leone's run by mother and son Michael and Rosalie owners you told me what do you want me to do when I first walked into the restaurant and what's that thing there that's my old television that I watch all the games and watch the games on there yes sir I was absolutely stunned by what I saw do you think it's a good impression because was walking in for the first time Michael just seem clueless a lazy owner watching telly was bad enough but the decor was just as hideous oh my god is that a baby yes I mean they say that there's never an ugly baby I think I just found one but that's not you is it nothing I mean she was quite a character I can't start to even think about turning this place around until I get to the bottom of these shoes the major problem here is there's no manager there no nobody in control this restaurant I take care of payroll I take care of receiving doing the menus Wow Paul on the rose she depended on Michael to run the restaurants basically the staff is running this restaurant right now I I disagree he wasn't learning anything except maybe his mouth are you here every day make some wonder young everything yeah six days a week across those six days a week you're in here you're here what 12 14 hours a day no I work the dinner shift from like five to ten fact alone so five hours a day how many of them do you sit down depending on the situation roughly three so you're on your feet for two hours a day yes holy crap in order to get the whole picture I decided to order the whole menu yes holy crap how many items on the menu over 100 a hundred I mean physically their parents oh come on guys grab a knife before please maybe a bag [ __ ] sit back and while the dishes looked awful there's no seasoning in there they taste it even worse ah it's like a [ __ ] flip-flop are you crunching great yes yes I think it's them do you think he's good keep the light that recipe they love it actually I had heard enough Michael was clearly delusional I'll be back later yeah I'd like to catch a plane out of here right now even though I want to leave for good I came back for dinner why is that pink mistake I think it's deal self you think you'd feel pretty sure you do put in there that looks like meat in the pan but what is it though I don't know it's not labeled how could you not know stuff was mushroom that's [ __ ] all over me I'd seen enough the kitchen was so disgusting I had no choice but to shut the place down under no circumstances can we continue to serve food Miss America I'm [ __ ] embarrassed everybody I'm sad this ain't embarrassed to say this for closing down the only for the night my gran myself I think as the boss of the restaurant it was just irresponsible I'm gonna turn the ship around my mother put in almost 20 years for our life in this place their spirit her money I'm crushed that I might look down I want to make good but the truth is I don't know if I could turn it around and it's a scary feeling it really is so with Michaels eyes finally open we spent some valuable time in the kitchen together that's olive oil oh yeah salt and pepper put on the bone why we cook it on the bone or a flavor right get that pan nice and hot how do you know when the oil is greater I like smoking up there that is annoying it just melts in your mouth I think it's time for a change and I'm gonna be the best Italian restaurant in town for the first time I saw this lazy owner making a positive change and then I knew he was ready to run his restaurant you may recognize him from Sally's ass outside watching television but that guy's gone now you ever knew Michael let's go with a new modern look I concise menu are we ready to order Michael stepped up I'm not only surprising staff right now listen I need one part daily one Cod one hour chat day and then we'll worry about everything else but that I need now yes sir but his mother too I'm a rose at the EPI look after your son Michael proved with hard work he can run Leone's three important words but I need you to remember stay the course Stanley Porsche I can't leave you chef in my restaurant I'm gonna stay the course good back in New Jersey hoping he's kept his promise Paul has reverted back to his old lazy ways with next Chef Ramsay gets to the bottom of what's going on at Leone's truly honestly you don't want to miss what's coming up unfortunately here's some bad news [Music] back in Montclair New Jersey to check on the Italian restaurant Leone's run by owner murmur Rose and her son Michael last I was here all my Rose wanted was for her son to step up and actually run the business it almost didn't happen but we finally turned of the leader time to check in if he's continued to make his mother proud [Music] I'm very excited to see Chef Ramsay today and tell him about the progress you've made in their restaurant and all the beautiful changes we have here at Leone's first things first where's the television that's my old television that I watch all the games on seriously I promise you the day you left there was no television took the entire restaurant my work how have you been I've been

staff is he helping with payroll infiltrate so he's no stepping up we're here at nine o'clock today we swept before we lot of the floors we set it up [Music] was physically the last one in here [Music] across the street he found TVs across the street to me oh geez so he goes across to the sports bar watch TV you can paint stripes on a horse but that doesn't make it a zebra left trying I'm so disappointed they did not stay the course toward the days oh my god oh he needs somebody right leave it to me thank you I appreciate the ketchup I'm hoping that Gordon Ramsay would be able to help Michael and maybe give Michael another kick because Michael needs another kick okay chef today we have a mutiny local priests nurse and our holy eggplant parmesan Wow thank you enjoy sir thank you what a difference what a difference what the [ __ ] is that my daughter the Chili's clean-tasting how do you that involved in the kitchen now yes these are both my dishes that is delicious that's good news unfortunately here's some bad news whilst I'm excited about the buzz this has been up 40% deliveries working brilliantly I've just heard from John and truly everything you told me about working so much harder is not what they think my question to you is why [ __ ] me through there listen you're not Manning up you change cause the day I left what's wrong do come in every day for 30 to sing sometimes it's 6:30 monster in a ship not everything on any day you gonna be hitting for the star how many times when I said that are you scheduling the payroll or you're helping out with those right now at lunch for other training on the food you cannot cancel trailer food when you rock about 6:30 and evening mammal rows I'm sorry but I'm disappointed you have to be tough you need to be a leader you need to be in here before you start you need to show that commitment they're loyal members that have been here for a long time they don't hate you they just want a commitment from you up to now I haven't been saying the course it's very hard to make that in front of my mom I should be more hands-on with the food with the specials with the server's and your overall business chef I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry there is areas I could really concentrate one more time that I don't want saying it from my mother I don't want to make her any more nervous who she is but I really want to tell you that you are right so far definitely more commitment I just restaurant do a better job I feel like I'm laying it down no but there's a lazy streak in you when things are going well that's what you got to work harder I set an example all that I've got to work harder than my staff jump back in there and nail it yes please you got my word I want to make you proud don't let me down I don't know yourself down and don't let your mother down you go okay thank you for coming back yesterday I believe that Chef Ramsay gave me a little bit of tough love today because he really does want me to succeed he doesn't want to coddle me he wants me to keep on driving going forward damn little surprise to him like to slip back from his old habits and his staff clearly need more help and without more opening up shortly business has continued to grow so my only hope now he steps up and le's Leone's on the path to success but more importantly god bless mama rose in the days that followed Michael kept his promise to Chef Ramsay and is putting in more hours at the restaurant now only time will tell if he will stick to his work if Chef Ramsay visits the Kenny he's gonna see a more committed Michael that's more in tune with this staff I'm gonna make him proud and make this visit of c3 restaurants three different stories but so far all on the road to success in the restaurant business you're never out the woods the good news is they are all heading in the right direction good night [Music]
