      Don't forget this show is heavily scripted. "Buzzard" taking 3 bottles of wine right under Gordon's nose, Lex running off in the middle of service... Lela might have decided beforehand they had to go and they just dramatized the whole scene. Or it could have been Ricky throwing everyone under the bus by ratting Buzzard out and not helping Lex. The more drama the better.

    • @peterclarke7240
      @peterclarke7240 ปีที่แล้ว +58

      One of the recurring themes in this show is people who've been hired into a job where they need guidance, but then received none. I feel like Ricky was very much that person, and so to survive, he just thought "fake it til you make it." Sure, he's been hired as a head chef, but if HIS manager doesn't understand what it is the place is trying to achieve, over than "fine dining" (a phrase that means what, exactly?), then how the heck is Ricky supposed to know?
      His entire demeanour changed once the weight of responsibility was lifted off his shoulders. Suddenly he was excited and interested. Getting rid of the thieving twat who was probably encouraging his complacent behaviour also probably helped.

    • @callum9999
      @callum9999 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      I agree it was a remarkable turnaround (and his future looks bright), but you're going too easy on him. It wasn't just his ego - he was incredibly lazy and taking advantage of an incredibly useless owner, who I can't believe got away scot-free herself. She moaned about the staff not listening to her, but it doesn't look like she ever made any attempt to try and manage any of them. She also had no idea what they were cooking - which might be excusable (just) while busy, popular and profitable but not when you're on the verge of bankruptcy (especially when you're still borrowing money from your sister).

  • @ulfberht4431

    What a redemption arc for Ricky. When we first met him, he seemed like an arrogant man who was lazy, disrespectful and just had a “I don’t care what you all think” kind of vibe.
    But by the end, he showed his passion and after being humiliated by Gordon, he bounced back and gained his respect again. It’s almost like something out of a novel.
    Shame that the restaurant had to close down but at least Ricky went on and continued to be a chef and from what I hear is doing great.

      Personally, I would never not allow one of my employees to take home discarded meals. In fact, I would be happy if the food doesn't go to waste, _but_ I would at least expect my employees to ask me first. If they take food without asking me, I too would be pissed.

    The owner of this restaurant is so pathetic. She's too quiet and passive and she didn't even know her head chef is always using powdered mashed potatoes and one of her employees like to steal things. She's only saying "I hope everyone's attitude change tomorrow." Like did she expected everyone's attitude will change 180° at 2 days? I'm surprised Gordon didn't yell at her like the other owners, probably because she's an old lady but he's been dealing with a lot of stubborn old people in this show.
