tonight on Kitchen Nightmares Chef Ramsay makes his first visit to Seattle Washington once seen things but he doesn't exactly get a warm welcome what a disaster Chef Ramsay is in for a major challenge with a defiant owner I'm not a man that backs down who refuses to listen to anyone I've never seen this before yeah I don't like it even his own family it was French during the day really while they constantly blame each other for the restaurants problems they don't focus I'm here every day the standards of plummeted isn't anywhere near food and despite wife Karen seeing all of the problems a lot of fixes seem to be pretty simplistic husband Peter seems blind to it all I don't have to change they have to change the attitude get ready for an emotional roller coaster as Chef Ramsay attempts to prevent an old-school owner live my window now from destroying his restaurant and his relationship with his family as well I'm done then it will go down in the flames you seven Wilson foods killed their child you wake up [Music] Seattle Washington known for its great coffee and superior produce just north of the city lies the up-and-coming neighborhood of Phinney Ridge home to Yanni's Greek restaurant run by Peter Auguste EO and his family my dad I decided that was she open our own restaurant in 1984 and in 2007 my dad passed me the torch gave me the kids to the restaurant there yeah what do you need when we first open business was the success but now it seems like this neighborhood is changing we open it and now people just don't seem to be coming to yannis anymore I don't know guys I don't know my husband stuck in the past neighborhoods different it's not a neighborhood that's different it's the attitudes are different next time okay Europe you just spoiled the only thing he does is yell what's my place honey plates detective before you serve it my dad is an absolute control freak and sometimes I can't take his derogatory tone let me let's get going what are you guys are there guidelines my daughter at least it's kind of like her dad that's ridiculous she doesn't take criticism well I don't think the man likes garlic anytime to get sort of a Greek restaurant and I think that that's why her dad have problems because they have that same personality are you crying again Turia chicken crying in instant stop crying she's known for being very emotional what now there was too much cinnamon there is nothing she won't cry about not what everything was too garlicky okay stop it [Music] there are so many things wrong with this restaurant but the main problem Peter doesn't change you know a lot of our fixes seem to be really pretty simplistic she's me got the grub I don't have to change they have to change the attitude I see things more than you think I just can't fix everything things have gotten so bad that we don't have medical insurance we can't pay our bills on time the mortgage is always late we've hit rock bottom [Music] horses raining in Seattle before Chef Ramsay heads to the restaurant owner Peter has requested some time alone with him hello how are you so good to see you at where else in Seattle but a coffee shop tell me how it started tell me back to the beginning we open 1994 and was just me and my dad and it was very good making money making good money yes and then 2007 my dad decided that you know it's time for me to pull back to Chicago yeah you know you gave me the torts and unfortunately our neighborhood have changed new young generation moved in yeah and I think they're afraid to give us a try price you know notice how much money are you losing between eight and ten thousand a month I said I think I mean you have money but away you got down staff and everything else you know so my wife has to take over the dining room plus my two daughters working in restaurants what they do the one that works in the kitchen with me is Elise Elise and then the other one is server Turia TRAI how hands-on are you Paul hands they give some responsibilities to my wife but I still feel that I have to look over everybody what's the problem when it comes to business I don't think they're for price you know so the devotion is not their devotion yeah today listen to you what do you like as a boss I'm not strong enough I think you're not strong enough yeah I give in wow it sounds like all the pressure are on your shoulders I mean that it is on my shoulders so what's right with the Russians well I think we have good product so the food's good how would you rate out of ten if not ten nine oh wow that's good nine out of ten is amazing I'm gonna fish up my coffee thank you for being open and honest I'll see you back at hang you wouldn't like to do [Music] hello hi hello very well welcome to Yanni's Thank You Sharon oh nice to meet you nice to meet you she's here no no way this is Turia my eldest daughter nice to meet you tria Wow and this is little space nice release at least nice to see ya please take a seat I'm really excited to see Chef Ramsay and for him to tell my father you're not only taking your restaurant down but you're bringing your family down with you what I'd like to do is get your perspective a little insight to be honest you know there's no no fun anymore you know there's no frills things are tight very tight you okay yeah we'll be upset Korea is very emotional everything I'm sorry it's tough to see my parents struggle when they put so much effort and to know that we're struggling just to barely make ends meet it's hard I'm sure it's very hard well how long has it been that bad you know a couple years clears we're trying to figure out what what we can do it's definitely outdated the food is outdated the deck [ __ ] then of course some of the food is outdated though - some of the food definitely presented differently why hasn't it changed I think my husband's very stubborn he's not stupid yes it's very very why though he can't just do it have you mentioned - maybe all the time fights many fights all the same many fights it's it's virtually impossible but he told me he gives in and allows you to do what you want and he's too easy on you guys - lacks no no no never he's got lay back no never but he rates the food nine out of ten and he thinks the family are not pulling their weight he's concerned whether his daughters are in or out it's hard to be in when you can't have the full support that you deserve or when he never listens to anything you have to say he says the yoke was is he is not that's untrue very true yeah absolutely it doesn't make sense I don't know who you met this morning yeah yeah Peter my husband is in total denial of the real issues and why the restaurant is failing I need to get to the bottom of this I mean I know you're telling me one side fact that they don't do enough they're telling me if they're scared to step up and change because you want to allow change I'm always there the bad guy because I want things to get done right you just said to me an hour ago you did a relaxed guy you're the one that gives it but see when I when I raise my voice I'm a bad guy but it's what comes out of your because you don't know how blow how to speak to people correctly because they're not committed they don't focus the only problem you have with us no I want you to be a leader here waitress I don't give it I want things done in the dining room like they're supposed to be and I don't think this gets done they're not serviced from the neighborhood they're your daughter's there you do a job this is a job this is my income chew on the mouth no I want him to step up I can't do everything and you're right here you know we've all said we want to be here we're the ones asking for change what's it change decor predate the whole restaurant move forward they're always the menu start I don't understand why it's such a hard step you know it's hard for me to just give up this place within minutes of his arrival Chef Ramsay was struck with the negativity within the family thank you now he's hoping that he can find something positive in the food that's not all the menu surely to hell it's like a piña five six pages of menu one two three four five six seven eight nine specials I have told my father to change the menu many many times how to remember all these most of this hasn't changed Wow deer deer deer my father is very stubborn and he needs an Englishman to give him a good kick in the ass am I seeing things pumpkin hummus pumpkin hummus come on stop I have been to thousands of restaurants I have never ever seen

throw it away because you can't change a menu it's dinner service at Gianni's and while Chef Ramsay knows there are real issues with the food and this is a two-part tonight his main focus will be on how the kitchen operates Elyse why is this here I won the first think it out I didn't make it you did don't tell me that next time okay anybody here go up how's that here at spanos police I want you

babysit if I wanna babysit I'm gonna babysit my granddaughter she's more fun than you guys what is this Chef Ramsay's inspection led to some shocking disgusting discoveries fridge it's cold stuff and Peter is pointing the finger at everyone else I babysit you like kids and you stop I babysit I'm gonna babysit my granddaughter she's more fun than you guys that's just like my father you know pushing the blame onto everybody else and not taking responsibility frustrating I'm sorry I just want to know our our tables getting our food there's no food Jew you tell people real story whatever they had it's free we're sorry expose the line down and I don't give it what do you guys do we need to shut down the restaurant we need to shut down the restaurant no one's getting food comp them for whatever

refrigerator's oh it's a recipe you know what Zeldin how about a system a system you just need to have them how many times uh babysit really you know what your problem is you want to be a babysitter you don't want to let things okay then fire up things should be labeled things should be dated thing should I mean we it's basic basic last night Chef Ramsay was disgusted and disappointed in the mess he uncovered in the kitchen today he is hoping that Peter and Elise are no longer in denial sit down over here right how are we feeling Lois shaking it was shaky yes sir you know with the events that happened last night I think we're all embarrassed we're here to listen to you to show us a new way to do things but at the same time I cannot let go some of the things that happened last night like what give me an example the refrigerator back there it wasn't as bad as I made out yes while I saw last night was disgusting your refrigeration unit was one of the most disgusting fridges I've ever seen you are the owner and it's about time that you sir start taking responsibility for what you're running we are about first food in I'm not going to serve my customers any spoiled food he finally spoiled never the food that we served last night it was fresh yesterday morning I made this food so he cannot tell me that we're sitting in the refrigerator and collecting mold and all that we don't leave things like that that long so you clearly don't know about the spoiled food in the fridge then do you think I'm going to serve that why is it that my boys are nice to do that oh really and we get it and I intercept that like nothing's wrong nothing is wrong never serve that no but it's our Father we make up all these excuses stop the excuses let's just go forward yesterday was a disaster disaster so can we put that in the past and just walk weatherford I serve do these people yesterday last night it was fresh dude okay so you can tell me that let's get real shall we because you're not gonna listen and you're not gonna take responsibility I'm done I'm out of here with Peter refusing to really comprehend the problems of the restaurant the food I serve to these people yesterday last night it was fresh through the day Chef Ramsay is wondering why he should continue to stay I'm done Oh God last night I think that it was reality in our face we have dropped the ball this is not what we are not what we are but it's our fault we can't blame anyone it's our fault we let it happen we need to step up and take back the restaurant are you willing to work with us Chef Ramsay I mean do you think that we're saving I'm trying to but when you can't accept the real problems there's no chance I need help for improvement help us so as the way please we love this place we live for this place my life is this place I haven't given up but my focus being on I need your help to pull me back to where what I was before I think we need to not go back to how we were when we were successful we need to move forward and reinvent it yeah you're right Peter couldn't let go the past you've got to change even though change is scary you need to need to change we have to change our ways Yanni's cannot succeed like that anymore cannot stay open like that and this is my reality check and Peter here's another thing what I saw last night wasn't pretty Peter knew were so negative and if Elise is determined to be in the kitchen you have to nurture her and support her humor teller she does a good job never know it shows I mean I'm sorry if I yell out to you guys before you know maybe with no reason and stuff but the pressure was on and well I guess I didn't know how to relieve the pressure or the night when it's all said and done well instead of calling to Chef Ramsay in here to make you say it say it Boyle well like I said things are going to change good it will change and you mean that I do understand I'm not a man that backs down I'm not an equal maniac nobody might have it right we're moving forward more forward I really hope that he's willing to change not only our relationship but everything it's long overdue [Music] now that Peter appears to be open-minded Chef Ramsay has an assignment for the family modifying the major thing that Peter has been most stubborn about book for you a novel for you and it's locked up in your fear you are going to share the menu look at each every page together and throw out what's not selling get ready to cut out a lot I'll be back in five minutes okay Farren our lives no that's must sue black use no chicken Skoda's out no that's not out seriously come on people come in here they're used to this man you know people are gonna come don't we're changing I mean this is your time to change it's like walk away from the menu take it out [Music] how many items it to begin with too many oh my god different eyes I've had this Magnum for 28 years but I think it's time for me to listen to others leave my ego outdoor 55 Ironman I never I'm just that's the only way for this restaurant succeed okay we have to so I'm not getting far so years out okay chicken Skoda's Oh AHA I can't believe that my dad actually let us take a sharpie and cross off all these menu items we don't need those saucy beef dishes oh this is the first time I've seen my dad actually listen to my mom and my sister and I and not have to take control of the situation Wow okay good Wow we're just just that one page 64 221 I want a second [Laughter] direction and we're all committed now as a family to make this happiest that's given me a lot to work with
