He was surprised it was still being alive after being in there with the rancid things and deceased lobsters. A café where I used to go for breakfast once had a pigeon strutting in trough the doors after a customer. The staff was rushing to get it out though I as a regular offered to take it out because they were to handle food and the pigeon was stressed when three guys went running after it. I could give a bread crumb and sacrifice a jacket to throw over it and wrap it and carry it out in freedom I didn't have to wear that at the office in summer.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 thank you for being kind to the bird. It means alot to me. 🙂 Seeing all those dead animals just wasted for nothing is heartbreaking 💔 We need to care about every animal, especially if their life was taken for us. Be thankful and take a break from eating meat. We don't need it everyday.
2024 update: Spanish Pavilion is still in business with high praises for the food. From their Instagram Michael has now taken over the culinary side and also celebrated his 50th birthday. Joe is still there and he recently celebrated his 40 years there and they had a party to commemorate his years there. Very happy for them
17:50 I love how every time Gordon examines something, the camera then cuts to the pigeon either flying around, or breaking things for a split second. The editors were brilliant to come up with that.
The editors know comedy which is the only reason I watch this show really, it's not about the restaurants it's about the music, annoying sound effects, Gordon's ridiculous faces and editing creating a comedy essentially.
The owners of this show are very genius, even after 9 years from when the show ended they still earn money from it by putting every episode on the youtube
Pigeon: "Man I love Chef Ramse-" Ramsey: "Fucking pigeon" Pigeon: "well maybe he didn't really me-" Ramsey: "Fucking pigeon" THE FACT THAT HE DID IT TWICE HELP
Surprisingly the restaurant is still open today with good reviews. Jerry runs it now too. One of the only restaurants that are still open after being on kn.
Whoever runs this account and put together a thumbnail of Gordon rage-dabbing on pigeons is an absolute mad lad genius, and I hope is being paid with the gusto of a failing restaurant owner defending their microwave.
I think Michael is just waiting for a support. He felt like abandoned and alone when his brother became a politician and everything just started overwhelming him and lose it. Glad that these brothers are now back in harmony.
I also think Michael lacked leadership experience. His brother is older and obviously has a different education and seemed to not struggle as much from insecurity issues, so I think Michael just didn't know how to step up and take the leadership role he had to take. Like 99% of Kitchen Nightmares is really just the owners lacking management experience and having ridiculous fears of failure holding them back.
This is like the opposite of most episodes. In this one you have a good wait staff, a decent manager and expediter, a chef that could cook, and nobody disagreed with Gordon, and were onboard from day one. This was a pretty real episode.
Damn they really put Michael on the spot with every single segment. But the harsh reality was, nobody else other than Michael did anything in that restaurant. He was doing inventory, menus, cooking, look after cleaning standards, checking expiry dates and honestly he was just ridiculously overwhelmed. But that guy is like crazy resilient ngl, took all the criticism and responsibility like a champ and managed to turn things around. Heard he's not with the restaurant anymore but I hope he's doing well whereever he is.
You don’t remember him not being in the kitchen in the beginning. He even admitted to Ramsey that he didn’t cook the food, nor try it prior to Ramsey eating it. The guy was lazy as shit. All of a sudden he wanted to play executive chef at the last second just so he could say he cooked with Ramsey. Fucking loser, that’s all he was.
yeah , they went hard, he could have killed somebody and the food was borderline shut it down ASAP if the Department of Health came in...raw food? happens all the time...@@iBullyDemons
@@cataliaishere You're not wrong but his mother and brother didn't do much to help him...they just stepped on him when he was already down. Michael at least wasn't Joe or Sebastian where he was arrogant about his food until the end.
Michael has a poor temper and did not listen, he was the major cause of all the problems. He was head chef and wasnt even cooking! If he just calmed down and let people order him around, it worked extremely well. But I agree, his mom and brother didnt do much to alleviate the stress of things he shouldnt have even been involved in.
@@jshowao the head chef doesnt cook unless they are understaffed. and the people giving orders were trying to get undercooked food on the plate, then not listening when they were told they couldnt serve it
@@jshowao his brother was yelling at him constantly to get food out faster, and when Michael said it will take longer to cook, the brother yelled at him to just plate it. I've worked in a restaurant before. When you're making food, someone yelling at you to make it faster is the most useless thing they can say. It needs time to be properly prepared and cooked through. It's a law of physics that can't be cheated. If you speed it up, it either gets burnt, or uncooked on the inside. And what do you know, food earlier in the episode was returned for being undercooked on the inside. And then Michael gets berated for sending out undercooked food. The only steps that can be sped up are the preparation steps, but it can be dangerous or lead to spillage if you speed that up too much, and if it's gotten to the point that people are complaining that it's late, 99% of the time it's already on the heat. What kind of temper would you have after having to deal with that unreasonableness from your own brother for so many years? Michael said he lost his passion, and it's clear to me why that is.
I think there are still a fair amount of people out there, especially in America, that don't know Gordon. Plus they see the cameras 100% right? Bet some of them get paid to sit around in the background and pretend to eat there
@@Meme_Kid51Lol no. There's literally an entire camera crew that follows people, there's scenes where you can see them follow people and even scenes where Gordon tells the camera crew to go out for a bit.
What irritates me is the more you watch the episode the more you realise Michale is severely overwhelmed and is on the brink of a breakdown. His mum and brother judging him and having a go at him (sometimes for good reason) probably doesn’t help either. I do think he has done wrong but at least he was willing to try make the business succeed and takes accountability - unlike his mum and brother, they also have a part in this which they decline to see.
finally, my thoughts exactly! he's burned out, and nobody looks at him like a human - like you clearly need help, but need him to 'man up'. I think there's a kinder way to approach it than yelling at him after he's had a meltdown.
Agreed! When he blew up on that chef, I kind of understood. Despite him leaving, the chef was still yelling at him and being really aggressive. It's no wonder he lost it, not that it excuses it. I feel bad for him. He has a lot on his back and his family doesn't support him the way they should.
@@Proserpira No, I don't understood that. When you are on the brink of going ballistic, is your responsibility to say: "Sorry man, I can't take that at the moment.", and go out and take a break. Trying to calm down, breath in, breath out before you are beating the shit out of someone. Even if a dickhead is still yelling at you. Go out and leave. You should never lost your temper and touch an other employee. Even if you hate that dude. And even if he yells constantly at you. You take a break and let that dude yell at himself. Not that I wanna defend that chef but at moments like this, you should be the smarter one.
@@jamesjohnson7595 He wasn’t a jerk at all. Even Gordon said he was doing a good job while the cry baby was having a meltdown and couldn’t keep up… 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I just love how this episode shows that Micheal is abused by his family, and somehow they say it's all his fault that the restaurant failed. How shitty are his mother and brother.
Not seeing many comments about how this is a rather unique episode in that: 1. It's a family restaurant, yet it can in some way be saved, unlike the large majority of Kitchen Nightmare family restaurant episodes. 2. The head chef isn't actually lacking cooking ability, he just has personal issues which stop him achieving his full potential. This is in contrast to the fact that most KN family restaurant head chef's are entirely incompetent if headed by a family member. 3. There is a family member who is a genuinely capable expediter. In contrast to the usual toxic interpersonal relationships getting in the way of everything.
That's probably why they're still open. Michael also went to cooking school so he's a trained chef as opposed to those who simply inherit the title. His problem seems to be his constant catastrophizing because he lacked confidence. Gordon forced him to step outside his comfort zone and I think it proved to him that he can actually do a lot of things despite his worries as long as he trusts his brother. He wanted to see the restaurant succeed and it was more important than his personal comfort. I think he's one of few people that genuinely were willing to change in KN. Usually people change but fall back into bad habits because it actually takes months or even years to make new habits stick and no rushed CBT lesson will help with that. Like you say, Michael was probably willing to step up all along but he needed the push. A lot of other people in KN change because they're forced to, not because they want to. Michael wanted to change so it was easier for him to adapt because he was just waiting for the signal. I think Gordon just showed him what was needed because he simply lacked experience since he literally went back from cooking school to his business, but he probably wasn't actually ready to take over at that point. It really was just an experience thing I think. Also I don't buy into the mobile game comment. This was at the advent of smart phones and there really wasn't a mobile gaming market at that point. Michael could equally have been doing finances on his phone by texting tellers etc. We just don't know that.
Well there was another episode where Gordon went to Mama Marias there were 3 cooks really capable especialy head chef Joe but owner was living on nostalgia and didnt want to adapt and change menu and refused to listen to his feedback.
Idt he needed Mommy's understanding as a fully grown man. He needed a swift kick in the ass. At some point grow tf up and stop looking to mommy and daddy for emotional support. You need to learn to build yourself up and put the work in and if mommy still treats you like that cut the umbilical cord and move on. I have absolutely no pity for him.
I love that the pigeon is just randomly acknowledged by Ramsey because the fact that there's a pigeon in the kitchen is ranked so low on the list of fuck ups is because there's so MANY fuck ups. The pigeons just a spectator, he's a cameraman, he's part of the crew XD
@@gusfalk In Glasgow we tell our loved ones that, 'their face is in a tin', when they're eejits. Maybe that's where the 'intin' comes from? Though whether 'intinuity' would be good or bad is a question yet unanswered. 🙃
Honestly I’m rlly proud of Michael. He was shouldered with most of the responsibilities in the restaurant and a brother n mother who didn’t rlly do much, and tried hard to get it done. He was exhausted and lost his will and passion to do it, which makes sense. But throughout the whole episode, you can tell that he genuinely tries so hard to get it right, but has difficulties dealing with pressure and stress (me too Michael, me too) and issues w his brother bc of a bad relationship. I’m glad they worked it out and I’m so happy for their success. He always tried his best and it showed.
I agree I relate to Michael and the fact he is nervous about failing and lack of confidence Yep I relate to that and it made me nervous too by this episode lol😭
I feel really bad for Michael, just no matter what he does, he immediately gets judged by his family and that's what makes it worst for him to be there
I would die for a compilation of Gordon’s 1on1’s with the camera outside the restaurants where he looks like he just did a line of Coke, slapping his hands around, shit talking the owners & then storming back inside😂😂
@@摂理の空白 yeah and the video would be called something like "hold on guys... this isn't snow' or 'when gordon finds the icing sugar bag left open ooop doo be doop'
the mother acts like she has no clue , doesnt take control over her sons and generally seems unfit to have inherited the restaurant. instead of just having a go at her sons, she should help try alleviate the workload and do as much as she can
Jerry devotes more time to the restaurant, and Michael is working harder in the kitchen. Spanish Pavilion is still open to this day and still owned by Jerry and Michael(May 2022).
One of the only episodes where no one was in the wrong completely, they all just needed to support each other and trust each other Honestly Michael was really cool here for improving so quickly
Knowing about Gordon's cases of food poisoning during filming the show, the "shit" after asking about the lobster, has a whole new meaning for me than the first time I saw this.
I felt so bad for Michael!!! Poor guy single handedly keeping his grandfather's restaurant alive!!! His brother and mother doing the bare minimum... He's the Cinderella character in his family
So, are we just ignoring that Chef Ramsay likes Michael's Octopus? That's actually a rare moment when Chef Ramsay compliments someone's dish in Kitchen Nightmares. The other one when he liked a sous chef's meatball.
it's always the deserts that one of the owners moms made as well. it's always so wholesome when the whole meal is shit but then the desert made by someone else is gorgeous
But does that really count after he laid into them and they went through so much garbage? I mean, if he couldn't make a half-decent dish by then after all that swearing and squabble, he should have quit a decade ago! 1st impressions are the most important. Otherwise, if you gave everyone 100 tries, you'd have no wallet and many many 'able chefs'. Even I can get a simple home-made cake or mayonnaise right on the 10th try, for example!
And the time he asked a chef to make a burger the way he would do it and not the owner's way and Gordon said "why the hell aren't you serving THIS burger instead of THAT?!" and the Karen owner (defending her husband's dreadful cooking skills) tried the burger was like "ew what is this taste I'm tasting?" (apparently she doesn't know what flavor is) and refused to acknowledge the chef's cooking skills.
That conversation by the lobster tank reminded me of that monty python skit with the parrot. He is dead, no no hes just sleeping. This parrot has ceased to be. 😂😂😂
Yes but there's a limit to how immature and wayward at title can get before it starts getting just OTT for attention and cringey. Like the latest one I mean how long until we get one going something like; ''Gordon Go Yea Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Donkey Nuts Panini Diaper Brain''.
@@MlRAAK Most of them are funny. But honestly I mean not everyone has to feel all of them are amazing and funny, so don't understand why you have to push a socially-exclusive agenda for something not that serious (again I'm referring to the video with 10 'when's). I wasn't offending anyone with that mere comment I hope(!) Just pointing out some are just a bit much
" You know what? Maybe I'm overwhelmed Mom " by 20:25. I would have tried to tell him that it was okay and that whats done was done, and that we would make it if i were his mom... I felt bad. I hope you're doing well this year Michael.
I felt sorry for Michael, his brother and mother arent doing anything in the business and he is the one taking on all the stress but they tried to act like he was the problem for doing his best on his own.
@@paulosullivan3472 Pushing someone in an aggressive manner is legally considered assault. I’m sure the guy will live, but it shows a lot of disrespect to treat your employees like that
@@gimblesfan4lyfe That is not strictly true. Pushing itself is not assault, it _can_ be considered assault when accompanied by sufficient other physical or verbal violence.
Thats bc we are inexperienced with some QUALITY food, so we accept bad from mediocre food we are used to. He, who has stacked up experience with both good food and meals and big ass knowlidge, so he can detect it immidiately. The shit we accept hed flip over Lmao
I gotta say, Hell's kitchen though entertaining is no where near the quality and as heart warming as watching Gordon help struggling restaurants. Puts me in tears and gets me clapping and cheering like a moron. Gordon is a good man and a champion of the gourmet food industry. Kudos to the production team
It's weird that there was no reaction to the pigeon. The kitchen I worked at would hardly claim to be the best but an animal in the kitchen would be reason to stop everything and have a deep clean.
i feel like Gordon was just so overwhelmed by the extraordinary waste of the immense amount of meat and veg in storage he'd just discovered that he was just like, "that is a fucking pigeon in the kitchen, but rn, i've gotta focus on this other big issue first"
@@trekadouble757 Spoiled food is easier to deal with in the moment than an animal in the kitchen. Bad food you get annoyed at but you just throw it away and clean the immediate area, you figure out who's responsible. An animal in the kitchen, especially one that has gone unnoticed and can get everywhere like a rodent or bird, means that the entire kitchen is compromised as well as whatever food is exposed to the air.
Gordon is unreal, how many families he tried to help, how many people he brought up together, man's literally doing God's work and i i love to see it !
I know it's just an expression but it's kinda funny to think about God flooding up the entire planet in the flood and be like "what? They were arguing in the fucking kitchen! My hands were tied!"
2:47 when the guy started crying made me reconsidering what I was thinking about. He was depressed and under pressure because he knew he needed to support his family. Poor guy
Yeah I kinda felt bad for Michael! You could tell he really does care about the business but his family spent more time yelling at him and eachother then actually coming together to tackle the issues with the over spending on wasted products and the freshness of the food
"This lobster is dead." "It's just resting." I expected a Monty Python sketch. "This is a dead lobster. It has ceaced to be. It's gone to join the choire of the invisible. If it wasn't in that Tank, it would be pushing up the daisies."
I understand that people in the US might not enjoy it, but I was born and still live in the land where paella originated as a Spanish specialty, and it's VERY common for paella here to have a thin layer of not burnt but crunchy rice at the bottom of the pan. We call it the "socarrat" and it's many people's favorite part of the paella :D Overcooked rice is a no-no of course, that paella marinera couldn't be saved, but I thought I'd share that here.

And what do you know, food earlier in the episode was returned for being undercooked on the inside. And then Michael gets berated for sending out undercooked food. The only steps that can be sped up are the preparation steps, but it can be dangerous or lead to spillage if you speed that up too much, and if it's gotten to the point that people are complaining that it's late, 99% of the time it's already on the heat.
What kind of temper would you have after having to deal with that unreasonableness from your own brother for so many years? Michael said he lost his passion, and it's clear to me why that is.
The fact that customers still eat in a restaurant they see Gordon actively working on is astounding lol
I think there are still a fair amount of people out there, especially in America, that don't know Gordon. Plus they see the cameras 100% right? Bet some of them get paid to sit around in the background and pretend to eat there
I think plenty of people are not there to eat, but rather just to see what's going on. It's like a liveshow.
@@maddy02_Gordon’s team places hidden cameras on the roof it’s unlikely they see it let alone actors
@@davidbodor1762they don’t know it’s a show the cameras are hidden lol
@@Meme_Kid51Lol no. There's literally an entire camera crew that follows people, there's scenes where you can see them follow people and even scenes where Gordon tells the camera crew to go out for a bit.
What irritates me is the more you watch the episode the more you realise Michale is severely overwhelmed and is on the brink of a breakdown. His mum and brother judging him and having a go at him (sometimes for good reason) probably doesn’t help either. I do think he has done wrong but at least he was willing to try make the business succeed and takes accountability - unlike his mum and brother, they also have a part in this which they decline to see.
finally, my thoughts exactly! he's burned out, and nobody looks at him like a human - like you clearly need help, but need him to 'man up'. I think there's a kinder way to approach it than yelling at him after he's had a meltdown.
Hes clearly the smart one in the family, good he had that politics jobs cashed in
Agreed! When he blew up on that chef, I kind of understood. Despite him leaving, the chef was still yelling at him and being really aggressive. It's no wonder he lost it, not that it excuses it.
I feel bad for him. He has a lot on his back and his family doesn't support him the way they should.
do you by any chance know Lachlan and Jaxon?
@@Proserpira No, I don't understood that. When you are on the brink of going ballistic, is your responsibility to say: "Sorry man, I can't take that at the moment.", and go out and take a break. Trying to calm down, breath in, breath out before you are beating the shit out of someone. Even if a dickhead is still yelling at you. Go out and leave. You should never lost your temper and touch an other employee. Even if you hate that dude. And even if he yells constantly at you. You take a break and let that dude yell at himself. Not that I wanna defend that chef but at moments like this, you should be the smarter one.
I’m glad that Michael was praised. He deserves it after all the pressure put in him. Sometime when you’re too overwhelmed you’ll just freeze
Jerry is a jerk.
@@jamesjohnson7595 He wasn’t a jerk at all. Even Gordon said he was doing a good job while the cry baby was having a meltdown and couldn’t keep up… 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Yeah, he was so pressured 😢
Its shows how lazy and incompetent he is

19:40 "I wanted to make sure I was ready."
"Ready for what?!"
*A fucking apocalypse*
He wanted to prepare for the pandemic
This post pandemic according to google thos was made last year @Artician
That’s literally what I thought when he said that.
Bro thought he's gonna get raided
I was thinking the same thing!
I've said it before but I find it hilarious how seemingly calm Gordon is about a pigeon flying about the kitchen/fridge.
Not seeing many comments about how this is a rather unique episode in that:
1. It's a family restaurant, yet it can in some way be saved, unlike the large majority of Kitchen Nightmare family restaurant episodes.
2. The head chef isn't actually lacking cooking ability, he just has personal issues which stop him achieving his full potential. This is in contrast to the fact that most KN family restaurant head chef's are entirely incompetent if headed by a family member.
3. There is a family member who is a genuinely capable expediter. In contrast to the usual toxic interpersonal relationships getting in the way of everything.
That's probably why they're still open. Michael also went to cooking school so he's a trained chef as opposed to those who simply inherit the title. His problem seems to be his constant catastrophizing because he lacked confidence. Gordon forced him to step outside his comfort zone and I think it proved to him that he can actually do a lot of things despite his worries as long as he trusts his brother. He wanted to see the restaurant succeed and it was more important than his personal comfort. I think he's one of few people that genuinely were willing to change in KN. Usually people change but fall back into bad habits because it actually takes months or even years to make new habits stick and no rushed CBT lesson will help with that.
Like you say, Michael was probably willing to step up all along but he needed the push. A lot of other people in KN change because they're forced to, not because they want to. Michael wanted to change so it was easier for him to adapt because he was just waiting for the signal. I think Gordon just showed him what was needed because he simply lacked experience since he literally went back from cooking school to his business, but he probably wasn't actually ready to take over at that point. It really was just an experience thing I think.
Also I don't buy into the mobile game comment. This was at the advent of smart phones and there really wasn't a mobile gaming market at that point. Michael could equally have been doing finances on his phone by texting tellers etc. We just don't know that.
@@Kamishi845 cool story bro
This was a mostly feelgood episode.
Competent ppl that just needed some guidance.
Great to see them succeed 🙂
Well there was another episode where Gordon went to Mama Marias there were 3 cooks really capable especialy head chef Joe but owner was living on nostalgia and didnt want to adapt and change menu and refused to listen to his feedback.
Absolutely
Frustrating how Michael's own mom wouldn't just give him a moment of understanding.
Right ?! I was genuinely frustrated watching that
She's lucky she's hot
“stawp it, stawp it, stawp it”
i mean look at her face, it tells you everything about that person. the name is just the cherry on top
Idt he needed Mommy's understanding as a fully grown man. He needed a swift kick in the ass. At some point grow tf up and stop looking to mommy and daddy for emotional support. You need to learn to build yourself up and put the work in and if mommy still treats you like that cut the umbilical cord and move on. I have absolutely no pity for him.
I love that the pigeon is just randomly acknowledged by Ramsey because the fact that there's a pigeon in the kitchen is ranked so low on the list of fuck ups is because there's so MANY fuck ups. The pigeons just a spectator, he's a cameraman, he's part of the crew XD
Putting in a live pigeon so Gordon can't criticise the restaurant for not being fresh is incredible intinuity
Finally some good fucking food
Possibly ingenuity? Intuition? I'm definitely thinking too much about this lol
wtf is intinuity
@@gusfalk In Glasgow we tell our loved ones that, 'their face is in a tin', when they're eejits. Maybe that's where the 'intin' comes from? Though whether 'intinuity' would be good or bad is a question yet unanswered. 🙃

"The freshest thing in this kitchen Is that pigeon"
The pigeon: yes chef, thank you chef.

🕊 : Nice to meet you chef I live in the kitchen chef
Honestly I’m rlly proud of Michael. He was shouldered with most of the responsibilities in the restaurant and a brother n mother who didn’t rlly do much, and tried hard to get it done. He was exhausted and lost his will and passion to do it, which makes sense. But throughout the whole episode, you can tell that he genuinely tries so hard to get it right, but has difficulties dealing with pressure and stress (me too Michael, me too) and issues w his brother bc of a bad relationship. I’m glad they worked it out and I’m so happy for their success. He always tried his best and it showed.
I agree I relate to Michael and the fact he is nervous about failing and lack of confidence
Yep I relate to that and it made me nervous too by this episode lol😭
This are the most passionate owners who actually acknowledge their mistake and willing to change for the better..no wonder their still open in 2022
They still are open? Good to hear!
Nice im like this passionate human and want change.not ego donkey human hahaha
this place wasn't nearly as bad as most others on the show
They were both eager and willing to understand what went wrong and learn from their mistakes and embracing their respective roles.
I feel that their food wasn't that bad anyway Gordon just like to overreact for tv purposes
The bird is actually a messenger to warn Gordon with a piece of paper saying "the food is sh*t" but sadly the owner took it away.

Jerry devotes more time to the restaurant, and Michael is working harder in the kitchen. Spanish Pavilion is still open to this day and still owned by Jerry and Michael(May 2022).
Oh thank you, im so glad to hear it!
I read that Michael left though.
Glad to hear that:(
Nice!
That's fantastic to hear .
This restaurant has the vibe of those old school, cheesey mafia movies. Like, the tuxedos, the siblings fighting, the drama, the decor...
And the language.
"Geddonn widdit"
One of the only episodes where no one was in the wrong completely, they all just needed to support each other and trust each other
Honestly Michael was really cool here for improving so quickly
fr
24:55 My Favorite part of this video. Gordon is like that one friend who whispers when you cant answer a question from a teacher
hahaha and i cant ignore the customers reaction 🤣
Knowing about Gordon's cases of food poisoning during filming the show, the "shit" after asking about the lobster, has a whole new meaning for me than the first time I saw this.
I felt so bad for Michael!!! Poor guy single handedly keeping his grandfather's restaurant alive!!! His brother and mother doing the bare minimum... He's the Cinderella character in his family
So, are we just ignoring that Chef Ramsay likes Michael's Octopus?
That's actually a rare moment when Chef Ramsay compliments someone's dish in Kitchen Nightmares. The other one when he liked a sous chef's meatball.
it's always the deserts that one of the owners moms made as well. it's always so wholesome when the whole meal is shit but then the desert made by someone else is gorgeous
But does that really count after he laid into them and they went through so much garbage? I mean, if he couldn't make a half-decent dish by then after all that swearing and squabble, he should have quit a decade ago!
1st impressions are the most important. Otherwise, if you gave everyone 100 tries, you'd have no wallet and many many 'able chefs'. Even I can get a simple home-made cake or mayonnaise right on the 10th try, for example!
He also like some short ribs before
And the time he asked a chef to make a burger the way he would do it and not the owner's way and Gordon said "why the hell aren't you serving THIS burger instead of THAT?!" and the Karen owner (defending her husband's dreadful cooking skills) tried the burger was like "ew what is this taste I'm tasting?" (apparently she doesn't know what flavor is) and refused to acknowledge the chef's cooking skills.

19:13 "And the freshest thing in this kitchen is that pigeon flying around."

That conversation by the lobster tank reminded me of that monty python skit with the parrot. He is dead, no no hes just sleeping. This parrot has ceased to be. 😂😂😂

Also Gordon: *says the same line in every episode

If he sees a kitchen more disorganized than in previous episode, he's not lying

Yes but there's a limit to how immature and wayward at title can get before it starts getting just OTT for attention and cringey.

@@gashchannel334 No lol, you didn't understand - I was referring to that latest one with all the insane ''when's''. This one here is obviously fine.
@@netweed09 The entire fanbase enjoys the funny titles and silly descriptions. You are the only one seemingly, who thinks its over the top.
@@MlRAAK Most of them are funny. But honestly I mean not everyone has to feel all of them are amazing and funny, so don't understand why you have to push a socially-exclusive agenda for something not that serious (again I'm referring to the video with 10 'when's). I wasn't offending anyone with that mere comment I hope(!) Just pointing out some are just a bit much
Gordon Ramsey every episode of Kitchen Nightmares… “I have never ever seen a kitchen this chaotic I’m my life.”
he sounds like a teacher the day after a sub lmao. "never in my 20 years of teaching-"
It's possible. Each kitchen is worse and more chaotic than the one before.
Have you ever been in a kitchen yourself? Where do you think they got that "too many chefs in the kitchen" expression? They are all chaotic.
" You know what? Maybe I'm overwhelmed Mom " by 20:25. I would have tried to tell him that it was okay and that whats done was done, and that we would make it if i were his mom... I felt bad. I hope you're doing well this year Michael.

"That lobsters fresh.

XD now I will laugh all night.
Gordon Ramsey is obviously a Cyborg. No human could live through some of the food he eats.
The way his face lit up when Gordon said he liked the octopus dish
That me rethink Michael as a person
Gordon was only saying that he hadn't ruined a perfectly good fresh octopus ... surprisingly.
I felt sorry for Michael, his brother and mother arent doing anything in the business and he is the one taking on all the stress but they tried to act like he was the problem for doing his best on his own.
It also seems like he has adhd because he can easily be distracted and he has emotional disregulation.
Didnt Michael assault his chef in the video?
@@gimblesfan4lyfe He pushed him, if you consider that assault I suggest you dont leave the house, the real world might scare you.
@@paulosullivan3472 Pushing someone in an aggressive manner is legally considered assault. I’m sure the guy will live, but it shows a lot of disrespect to treat your employees like that
@@gimblesfan4lyfe That is not strictly true. Pushing itself is not assault, it _can_ be considered assault when accompanied by sufficient other physical or verbal violence.
You know it's bad when Gordon has to calm you down as a chef.
God bless Michael. He had a pure heart the whole episode, he was just stressed and underestimated himself
Me: That doesn't look too bad, I'd eat it
Gordon: Absolutely dreadful
Me: Yeah you tell em Gordon!
Makes me wonder how often I accept food at a restaurant that Gordon would spit out.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats bc we are inexperienced with some QUALITY food, so we accept bad from mediocre food we are used to. He, who has stacked up experience with both good food and meals and big ass knowlidge, so he can detect it immidiately. The shit we accept hed flip over Lmao

💀
It's weird that there was no reaction to the pigeon. The kitchen I worked at would hardly claim to be the best but an animal in the kitchen would be reason to stop everything and have a deep clean.
i feel like Gordon was just so overwhelmed by the extraordinary waste of the immense amount of meat and veg in storage he'd just discovered that he was just like, "that is a fucking pigeon in the kitchen, but rn, i've gotta focus on this other big issue first"
I wonder what's more dangerous for the customers... a living pigeon flying around or getting food poisoning from the dead lobsters...
@@trekadouble757 Spoiled food is easier to deal with in the moment than an animal in the kitchen. Bad food you get annoyed at but you just throw it away and clean the immediate area, you figure out who's responsible.
An animal in the kitchen, especially one that has gone unnoticed and can get everywhere like a rodent or bird, means that the entire kitchen is compromised as well as whatever food is exposed to the air.
18:20 no one talking about him laughing finding the dead lobster in sauce??😂
its more of a cringe.
The fact that he acknowledged the pigeon *twice* as "fuckin pigeon" in the exact same puzzled tone is hilarious.
Gordon is unreal, how many families he tried to help, how many people he brought up together, man's literally doing God's work and i i love to see it !
I know it's just an expression but it's kinda funny to think about God flooding up the entire planet in the flood and be like "what? They were arguing in the fucking kitchen! My hands were tied!"
lol not the last line
He is actually doing a father's work.
It's important to remember what we're seeing is heavily edited and 72% of the restaurants gordon "helps" actually fail soon after

I understand that people in the US might not enjoy it, but I was born and still live in the land where paella originated as a Spanish specialty, and it's VERY common for paella here to have a thin layer of not burnt but crunchy rice at the bottom of the pan.
