00:00
You've got to take responsibility, too.
00:01
It's not just hers, it's not just yours.
00:04
But I mean, at least take your half of it, too.
00:06
I don't have the time and the money to go.
00:07
But I tell him to take over.
00:09
You're the chef.
00:10
Make a menu, OK?
00:11
If he takes the bull by its horn and he just does it,
00:15
I'm not going to say no.
00:16
So put your foot down.
00:18
Throw some balls like I always tell you.
00:22
You are a chef, young man.
00:24
But you need to find your voice.
00:27
You're right. I do.
00:29
OK.
00:32
Let me tell you something.
00:34
You need input from another source.
00:38
Hang on a second.
00:42
Come in. Thank you.
00:43
Bill, good to see you, sir.
00:46
This is Bill.
00:47
Hi.
00:48
And he brought a few of his friends.
00:50
Take a seat, ladies and gentlemen.
00:51
Please come through.
00:54
These people represent the town of Easton.
00:59
You'll probably recognize them because they've all
01:01
dined in your restaurant, Rosario.
01:04
Ladies and gentlemen, the owners and the staff
01:07
need to hear from you what were your recent experiences
01:10
when you went to Bella Luna.
01:13
Fire away, please.
01:15
There was a fly in the wedding suit.
01:17
And it was kind of an embarrassment.
01:20
And we just left it there because we just didn't want it.
01:23
Suit of the day.
01:24
Rosario, anything to say to Bill?
01:26
I'm sorry about that.
01:28
I just apologize.
01:31
Thank you. I appreciate it.
01:32
Next, please.
01:34
The food and the service have both been subpar.
01:37
All of our entrees came out at different times,
01:40
making it very difficult to enjoy a family meal.
01:43
That's my issue with food being prepared and sitting
01:46
on the line because we're short-staffed.
01:49
It's not the customer's problem, the fact that you're
01:50
short-staffed.
01:51
It's not just the service.
01:54
Alicia, thank you so much.
01:57
I went there once.
01:58
Food was subpar, very disappointing experience
02:01
for what I expected.
02:02
Everybody has a bad night.
02:04
I figured I'd give you another chance.
02:06
And the second time I went, it was extremely disappointing.
02:10
Our dinners were totally wrong.
02:12
My son ordered chicken.
02:13
He got veal.
02:14
I threw my money on my table and said, I'm done.
02:18
I will never come back here.
02:20
Sorry about that experience.
02:22
Next, please.
02:23
The food, everything just did not work out.
02:26
But what really, really stood in my mind
02:27
was I ordered a cannoli and the cannoli was sour.
02:32
And so you came over to me and you gave me a fresh cannoli.
02:36
Well, why didn't you give me the fresh cannoli first
02:39
rather than give me an old cannoli that left
02:42
a horrid taste in my mouth?
02:44
I mean, a sour cannoli, I mean, it can get you sick.
02:47
Right, but I was not aware that you were giving
02:49
the sour cannoli that wasn't good.
02:51
Well, maybe the sour cannoli shouldn't even be there.
02:54
I wasn't giving it to you, you know?
02:56
But my point is, is as the owner and manager.
02:57
When the cannoli came back and then I tasted it,
03:00
and then I said, this is going bad.
03:02
Well, yeah.
03:03
Gone bad.
03:04
Not going, gone bad.
03:05
It's bad.
03:06
Once it's gone, it's gone.
03:07
It's not coming back, is it?
03:08
So, you know, that should be gone the night before.
03:11
You know, it shouldn't be there.
03:12
That's what I was saying, like, why even serve
03:13
something that is questionable?
03:15
You're right.
03:16
You're totally right.
03:17
That was the experience that I said,
03:20
I don't think I'll ever come back to this restaurant.
03:25
Wow.
03:26
To hear what they were saying, you know, the reality,
03:30
how much as it hurts, it's the truth.
03:33
This feedback this morning has been pivotal.
03:36
I hope you'll all be willing to give
03:38
Bella Luna one more chance.
03:41
On behalf of the owners and the team,
03:44
I'd like to say a big thank you.
03:45
I appreciate it.
03:46
Thank you very much indeed.
03:47
I think everything has to be changed.
03:50
And if that's what we need to hear to make things better
03:53
and get Bella Luna back on the map,
03:55
I guess that's what we need to hear.
03:57
Three pizzas in front of me.
03:58
A, B, C. A is from one of the best restaurants in town.
04:02
B is your pizza.
04:04
And C is a store-bought local frozen pizza.
04:08
Time to put your pizza to the test.
04:11
That's right, your pizza's B. Which was your favorite?
04:13
I liked A.
04:14
I'd say A.
04:15
I liked the A because it was thin.
04:17
And your least favorite?
04:18
B.
04:20
Why B?
04:21
Soggy on the crust.
04:22
Way too much cheese.
04:23
It overwhelmed everything else.
04:24
I felt my heart stop.
04:25
It was too much.
04:26
Too much on the crust.
04:27
The crust was soggy.
04:29
It's just not very good.
04:32
OK, Pete, here's the results in a nutshell.
04:35
75% of our taste testers preferred
04:37
pizza A from the top local Italian restaurant.
04:40
In second place, with 15% of the votes,
04:42
was a store-bought frozen pizza.
04:45
And in third and last position was yours,
04:47
with 10% only of the votes.
04:50
Yours was the least favorite.
04:52
You're actually beaten by a store-bought
04:54
fucking frozen pizza.
04:56
Get the message?
04:59
Wow.
05:00
Yeah, wow.
05:03
How does that make you feel, Paulette?
05:04
Bad, but I'm not surprised.
05:07
Because I've been saying the same thing.
05:08
Too much cheese, too much crust, too much everything.
05:12
I've talked and talked and talked about the same things.
05:15
And I don't see it changing.
05:19
It's really bad.
05:19
It needs to change.
05:22
I think that in his mind, it's always more is better.
05:26
I do put a lot of ingredients on.
05:28
Yeah, you do.
05:28
I do.
05:29
Your pizzas are dated.
05:32
I am very surprised at the results of the video.
05:35
I never thought in my wildest dreams
05:37
that the people of Denmark would pick
05:39
a frozen pizza over my pizza.
05:42
You have got to understand.
05:44
You are miles away from serving Denver's best pizza.
05:50
That 1991 review behind me is no longer valid.
05:55
We're in a different era.
05:56
You've taken the praise of a local critic.
06:00
It's gone to your head.
06:01
And you have locked in what they said was good.
06:05
And you've kept doing it for nearly 30 fucking years.
06:11
Can you three just give me two minutes
06:12
and get some fresh air outside?
06:15
Because this is important.
06:17
I've got one very important question for you.
06:19
Am I willing to change?
06:21
That's the one.
06:23
No.
06:31
You realize, like, how embarrassing
06:32
it's been the last three years to work for other people?
06:36
Well, we have a restaurant.
06:38
That's all because of this bullshit.
06:41
I've been in here waiting tables,
06:43
and my knees are shot.
06:44
I'm not going to do it anymore, and I'm serious with you.
06:47
I mean, I may even leave.
06:49
I am out of here.
06:51
I'm actually right ahead to Texas, because I'm done.
07:02
I've pulled with you.
07:03
I've been your partner.
07:04
You haven't always been mine, but I have been yours.
07:07
And I want you now to step up, because I
07:11
don't want to lose my home and the few little things
07:14
that I have.
07:17
I don't want you to.
07:21
Pete, are you committed?
07:31
I am.
07:32
You are.
07:33
I am.
07:34
I don't understand why you don't get it, Daddy.
07:36
You have to take ownership of this place
07:38
if it's your restaurant.
07:39
You can't just walk around and saying
07:40
you're the fucking owner.
07:44
I need fresh air.
07:45
My father, he needs to wake up and smell the Greek coffee.
07:48
This is your restaurant.
07:50
You played a really big part in why it's this bad,
07:53
and you cannot point fingers.
07:55
Otherwise, like Chef said, close the fucking doors and get out.
08:00
Dad.
08:03
What else do I have to do?
08:05
You need to understand.
08:07
It starts with you.
08:09
You have to stand up and take responsibility.
08:14
It's not my food.
08:15
It's Christina's recipes.
08:17
See?
08:17
There you go again.
08:19
Fucking hell.
08:20
Chef, I'm not 100% responsible.
08:23
That's, I want you to know that.
08:25
What I've been struggling with is that I
08:27
don't think you have the will.
08:29
You couldn't have been like this 14 years ago.
08:34
Can I just have two minutes with your daughter?
08:37
Yes.
08:42
I honestly don't know what to say.
08:44
Every time I try to point things out,
08:47
he's just blaming other people.
08:49
He does like to point fingers.
08:51
I've got some serious concerns.
08:53
But right now, the only reason why I'm
08:55
staying is because of you.
08:57
I'm 150% committed.
08:59
You have no doubt in me.
09:00
Your dad, I do.
09:01
Now get some rest.
09:02
I'll see you in the morning.
09:03
Thank you, sir.
09:09
This morning, Chef Ramsay wants Manny and Christina
09:12
to understand how destructive they've been to each other.
09:15
When do we draw a line in the sand and say, mom, dad,
09:18
for God's sake, get on the same page?
09:20
And he is hoping with the help of their daughter.
09:22
It's a big ask, but I need you to drive that message home.
09:25
They will finally see the damage they have done.
09:27
Morning.
09:28
Hi.
09:29
How are you both?
09:31
OK, bad day yesterday.
09:34
Lots of issues, and it's impossible to work on any
09:37
of them, because we have to deal with something
09:39
more important first.
09:42
The both of you, Evelyn?
09:46
Restaurant aside, you guys have issues communicating?
09:53
What's really hard for me is to see how just separated you are.
09:59
I don't want to see you be so hurtful towards one another.
10:03
You have so much to be happy about and proud of.
10:08
And it's time that you work together.
10:14
But there's no more pointing fingers.
10:16
I cannot be in the middle.
10:18
It kills me on the inside.
10:20
It breaks my heart.
10:21
It's great.
10:24
We lost this house, but we can make it again.
10:32
We have to do it again as a couple, as a family.
10:41
I will try my best, and I will do my best, believe me.
10:45
Christina, it goes for both of you.
10:48
You have to be supportive.
10:49
With all my heart.
10:57
We have to do it together.
10:58
We have to share responsibilities,
11:01
and we have to be united.
11:03
Two people, one voice.
11:05
We have to do it.
11:05
That's it.
11:08
I'll leave you guys alone for a few minutes.
11:10
I'll see you back at the restaurant.
11:12
Thank you so much, Evelyn.
11:13
Absolutely.
11:17
Evelyn is absolutely right.
11:20
We have to stop pointing fingers to each other.
11:23
We have to communicate in a better way.
11:28
And we have to unite it, and to do whatever
11:31
we have to do together.
11:33
No more entrees.
11:34
I'm sorry?
11:35
Take their food away.
11:36
Why?
11:37
Because we're not serving anymore.
11:38
We're about as dirty as a kitchen could be,
11:41
and it's absolutely disgusting.
11:45
We will not be serving any more food this evening.
11:47
Ah.
11:48
Oh.
11:49
I'm extremely sorry.
11:50
That's not good.
11:52
I mean, this is so fucked up.
11:54
It's so ridiculous.
11:55
The kitchen's infested.
11:57
The office is a mess.
11:58
And on your chairs that you tell me got cleaned years ago,
12:01
a comb, a candy cane.
12:04
I mean, old Kleenex used.
12:06
People wiping their nose, sticking it down the side.
12:08
You can't even get clarity in there,
12:10
because you're so festering and fucking crap everywhere.
12:14
Both of you should be shamed.
12:16
What did you say to me today?
12:18
That I take pride in what I do.
12:20
Where?
12:21
I don't know.
12:22
I am not proud right now.
12:24
We got overwhelmed, and it's a shithole.
12:27
It's a shithole, and it's a mess.
12:30
And maybe we should just close it down
12:31
and lose everything we have.
12:36
Because that's probably what we're going to do.
12:40
How can I help two individuals that don't even
12:43
care about what they're doing?
12:46
We do care.
12:47
We care tremendously.
12:48
So why didn't you do anything before I got here?
12:51
We did.
12:52
I can't tell you how many hours we cleaned.
12:54
You cleaned before I got here?
12:56
I threw out my clothes on Monday.
12:58
I was so encased with grease.
13:00
How long?
13:01
How many hours?
13:02
How many days?
13:03
Five.
13:05
Shit.
13:08
What the fuck?
13:11
We just need to stop.
13:17
What a fucking mess.
13:20
Come here.
13:21
I love you.
13:23
Sorry, it's going to get better.
13:24
I never thought my restaurant would be shut down.
13:27
Can I have a quick word, please?
13:28
Absolutely.
13:29
Outside.
13:30
It's the worst moment of my life, undoubtedly.
13:33
For the first time in a long time,
13:35
I'm not actually too sure what to do.
13:37
Right now, I want to get out of here.
13:39
Please don't.
13:40
We could really use your help.
13:41
The mistakes are so basic.
13:46
We perhaps should not even be in the business.
13:48
That's what I'm scared about.
13:50
I think we can do this.
13:52
We desperately need your help.
13:54
You told me in there that you cleaned for five
13:56
days before I got here.
13:58
Didn't do any good.
13:59
How do I know that you really get it
14:02
and you really will commit to getting this place turned
14:05
around?
14:07
I can do whatever you show me.
14:08
Thank you, just stay and help us, please.
14:10
I'll do whatever you want.
14:12
We're not going to let you down.
14:13
Now is your chance to prove it to yourselves and me.
14:18
Show me.
14:19
OK.
14:19
We will.
14:20
We will.
14:21
Let's do it.
14:33
Vic, throw that shit away.
14:37
It was the most mortifying thing I've ever lived through,
14:41
and I have no excuses.
14:45
It's my fault if something isn't right here.
14:50
This is my restaurant.
14:51
I have a lot of pride in it.
14:53
I was shown too many things that I did not want to see.
14:56
The problem is, I'm the guy who's supposed to see it.
15:01
We're not good at what we do.
15:03
We're not even remotely good at what we do.
15:06
We'll get better, a lot better.
15:09
I spent 24 years here.
15:11
I don't want to close this place down filthy and dirty
15:14
and not operating and a coffin.
15:18
I don't want it to be a coffin.
15:20
I love you.
15:21
I love you, too.
