Yeah I thought the same too but I was getting so irritated with his cooks. I used to Expo and food run. I would’ve LOVED to yell at them slow dumbasses.
In case anyone was confused, a few things that weren't properly explained... 1) Aaron was only 19 when he became the head chef. So they didn't respect him because to them, he's still a kid. 2) Scott used his own money to fund the restaurant, so naturally he wanted to be more involved. But yeah, he was too intense, like he wanted to beat people up. He had every right to be mad at AJ, because as he said in the episode, "I put in the money not for you to lose it"...& there's the part where he pointed out AJ gets paid, but the owners didn't. This episode is 1 of the least frustrating ones mostly because the owners actually wanted to change for the better. & if I recall, this restaurant was 1 of the few that lasted the longest in the entire Kitchen Nightmares series, but it's not active anymore...
No wonder they were talking back to Aaron! The owners should fire the kitchen staff and hire New ones because this kind of disrespect doesn't fly in our kitchen, no matter what age! The old one should have stepped up and be head chef then, lil mofo.
Yep. I think part of the disrespect also comes from the fact that the owners are still getting used to their roles and they are reluctant to fire people 😅
Frozen fish and fake crab while your restaurant is literally sitting along the sea is unforgivable, especially when it looks to be right in the middle of a massive fishing area
(UPDATE FOR ALL RESTAURANTS) Sadly Jacks waterfront closed in 2010. And michons closed in 2018. And even after the show Mill street bistro closed in 2013 cause even after the show joe drove his business to the ground cause he didn’t listen to gordon. And Zocalo closed in January 2013 for the holidays and never reopened.
I work in my family’s restaurant as a waiter and a lady (who was in I believe her late 40’s) was seated in my section with her kid (like 4 to 5 year old) and I did what I usually do. Later on after they got their food the lady called me over and told me, her kid didn’t like the soup and I asked what was wrong with it and she told me it was to hot and she wanted me to cool it down and feed it to her kid. Who was throwing a tantrum because the mom didn’t let the kid have a milkshake and I told the mom that I can cool down the soup but I can not feed the soup to her child. She didn’t like that and she started yelling at me and she threw her drink a me (it was sweet iced tea) and was being a Karen. My manager who was a family friend came over and asked what happen and why she threw her drink at me, she started lying and making up things I didn’t do, my manager asked me what happened and I explained. My manager took my side and the Karen was upset she didn’t want to pay, she didn’t apologize, she only paid because we threatened to call the cops if she didn’t.
Running a restaurant aint easy, I get that. But tell your dad to f off if he keeps WASTING and TAKING. It’s not good for his liver, the restaurant’s image, or the finances. If dad is causing extreme financial bleed, GET HIM OUT.
That dude that went on a "smoke" break was definitely high. I have been the one that had to drive a couple of coworkers home after they were busted getting high on breaks.
34:32 I didn’t realize this place was in Michigan. I looked it up and it is literally a place I pass everyday. Jack’s was closed in 2010 and it’s called Hook now.
I used to work at an applebees and this guy came in, zero clue if he was on something but it was literally like five or less minutes before we closed everything was cleaned and we were finishing up the last of our work for the morning shift and when i told the man we were closing and he couldn’t sit down and eat he actually pissed on me. seriously cried and quit that night
For the tanks: The reason those small half circles have bubbles is they were literally just set up and dropped those betta fish in them. They aren't moving around because there is no current and release of gasses from the surface and slowly the fish are in a oxygen depleted zone. They are stressed out in a habitat that was not properly set up or even the right size for them. Probably suffocating on their own ammonia or whatever chemical start they made them buy saying "yeah just add this and will make the water safe." Or shocked the fish from crazy temperature swings because they are warm tropical water fish and it's snowing so can bet the water was either too cold or too hot when they went in. Could write a whole novel for less then 15 seconds of air time what's wrong, why, and how to fix or prevent all of what's going on.
6:27 what was the point in him walking out the restaurant just to say one sentence and then walk back in, also Gordan be so animated when he talks allat extra movement 😭
this vid is a great example why u keep ur friendships out of work. dude feels bad doing anything towards his dad and its dragging everything and everyone else down
29:20 I was a waiter for a while and I have a few stories: 1 - Some guys started fighting, they punched some little girl and left the place bloodied, plates and glass everywhere. Our boss said "fuck it" and didn't even bother to call anyone. We had to continue serving and we couldn't even clean it up. 2 - A group of people literally started fighting, about 10 people. One guy ended up in the hospital and some woman (his mother) threatened me by killing me (I was behind bar all the time). 3 - I was serving one guy and after that day he started stalking me, following me after work, coming to my house, confessed his "love" and when I said he is creep and multiple times said I will call police, he got angry and started threatening me that he will kill me and myself (of course I called police but they didn't do much) That's the worst ones I guess 💀
Fun fact: even though they tried everything to keep the place alive and began doing the right thing, but in 2010 the place ended up shutting down anyway due to financial struggles.... Ya know that's genuinely the one thing we don't really see Gordon help with, if I'm wrong do correct me but he hasn't once actually helped keep the restaurant afloat by helping them FINANCIALLY
(worst waiter story for me) The restaurant I work at takes less than 20 minutes when making the food but because it wasn’t short enough, someone threw their drink in my face completely soaking me in soda, I was sticky the whole day
Jack's Waterfront Restaurant, featured on "Kitchen Nightmares," closed down primarily due to financial difficulties, with many believing the owners struggled to maintain the restaurant's operations after the show ended, leading to declining business and ultimately closure; the exact details of the closure are not widely available, but it's generally considered to be a result of poor financial management.
as a chef this episode upset me so bad because clearly aaron has so much passion for hospitality and he wants to put food out that he can be proud of but he doesn’t have to support to do so and it makes me so sad
Actually I will say that is very much what ice fishing is like. The fish don't fight too much because they're way too cold they have to conserve energy thus why the fish wasn't really moving at all basically think of it this way they're already Frozen pretty much
As someone with a few fish tanks the first thing i thought when they showed all the tanks along the walls was that someone is now gonna be tasked with not only feeding all those fish but also cleaning all the tanks 😂 whoever does better get a raise
the reason that ramzy moves his hands while talking is because that is how his brain works and he is being nosey because that is his job at this point.
i swear half of them employees just scythed in the back of the restaurant before service. Half of em was just eating and trying not to laugh in gordons face lmaooo
bro when I help one of my close family members by being a waitress I got food thrown at me and got cussed out at least twice because the cook didn't make their food how they wanted it
i have been working in restaurant for 2 years and i cant stress enough about this one customer came every day , she was vegan and gluten free by her choice , i was the only waiter that would serve her cus other waiters dint have patience with her . That meant i would spend 15 min talking about menu after that she tried to combine tree foods in to one so i was running to kitchen and back to her . when she finnaly chose her food after 30 min. I went to get her order to bring it to her and she just looked at it and said it was the wrong one cus she dint want cheese on it so it needed to be remaked i bring it to her after she eats it and its time to pay she doesnt even leave tip and scoldeds me for her wrong order and it took long to even order it . she went to bathroom and her husband apologize to me and left me tip but i was so mad at her and i knew the next day or day after that she would come again and it would same again
Seafood restaurant on the water confuses me slightly cuz its a lake and crab dont live in lake they live in ocean or sea hence seafood but the fact their not serving fresh crappie, perch, walleye, northern pike anything you'd find in the lake
ive never seen a head chef so passionate about cooking like aaron is a rarity to see in a kitchen nightmare, he didnt even need gordon's help
Yeah I thought the same too but I was getting so irritated with his cooks. I used to Expo and food run. I would’ve LOVED to yell at them slow dumbasses.

No wonder they were talking back to Aaron! The owners should fire the kitchen staff and hire New ones because this kind of disrespect doesn't fly in our kitchen, no matter what age!
The old one should have stepped up and be head chef then, lil mofo.
@@L.-I. yeah true
Actually it's still open in Michigan
Yep. I think part of the disrespect also comes from the fact that the owners are still getting used to their roles and they are reluctant to fire people 😅
Those kitchen staff were KILLING ME, aaron was working hard, asking questions, giving orders as they stood in silence.😭
Even tho i’m older than he is in this episode, I’d fucking _never_ disrespect Head Chef. Those kitchen staff need to be replaced where they’re failing
I freaking LOVE when Kenji reacts to Kitchen Nightmares. Gordon Ramsay’s “YOU IDIOT” + Kenji’s “You motherfuc-er.” = Best Reactions in history
Acceptable glaze
same!
Frozen fish and fake crab while your restaurant is literally sitting along the sea is unforgivable, especially when it looks to be right in the middle of a massive fishing area
It's like selling vegan meat steak side by side with the slaughter house 😭😭😭
@ and the person eating it doesn’t even know what they’re not eating meat😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It really looks like every restaurant on this show doesn't survive
@@icheeva1 very few do, I think mostly because its not like someone is going to stop long-time bad habits because Gordon came there for three days
@@SPLUMBAR not to mention the vast majority of resturants on the show are already deep in depth
"Put a 1 if you are or WERE a waiter"
*proceeds to complain how many probably WERE a waiter*
This dude needs to watch Amy's baking company
I can't wait to see that
I CANT WAIT FOR HIS REACTION BRO
A timeless classic
@@sokokokoko real
YESSS
Bro, they should fire those kitchen staff and let Aaron as head chef choose his own team because they're being disrespectful and spacing out.
im so happy aaron got his fish taco at 41:04
this made me laugh so hard 😂
Gordon is like the super nanny of restaurants
Scott in that kitchen looked like he was about to beat someone’s ass. How they gon make repeat himself more than once?
Dude's about to throw hands to their disrespectful asses
2:08 “Ain’t brush them teeth since 1983”
The way I squealed when I saw the notification. My hyperactive self was having a hard time paying attention 😭 41:56 is killing me
LITERALLY, I STARTED STIMMING😭😭😭

KENJI IS BACK IN HIS GORDAN RAMSEY ERAAAA
Running a restaurant aint easy, I get that. But tell your dad to f off if he keeps WASTING and TAKING. It’s not good for his liver, the restaurant’s image, or the finances. If dad is causing extreme financial bleed, GET HIM OUT.
Nah cause why they put tiny ass fish tanks everywhere… those fish won’t last a week. It’s genuinely cruel
Poor chef is being blamed when he's just working with what they have in that damn place
That dude that went on a "smoke" break was definitely high. I have been the one that had to drive a couple of coworkers home after they were busted getting high on breaks.
It’s like a breaded protection goes crazy
34:32 I didn’t realize this place was in Michigan. I looked it up and it is literally a place I pass everyday. Jack’s was closed in 2010 and it’s called Hook now.
They all usually close due to bankruptcy unfortunately even if they get the help absolutely love Kenji reacting to these tho!!
Kenji being irritated at every movement every thought every single action is MEEE
LOL THE FIRST ONE WAS MY HOMETOWN IVE NEVER ONCE HEARD OF THIS
NO BECAUSE SAME! It’s called Hook now😂
@alliecat1747 no way lmaoooo, I knew it closed though no way that place stayed open
I used to work at an applebees and this guy came in, zero clue if he was on something but it was literally like five or less minutes before we closed everything was cleaned and we were finishing up the last of our work for the morning shift and when i told the man we were closing and he couldn’t sit down and eat he actually pissed on me. seriously cried and quit that night
Kenji this is why your my favorite v tuber✋😭
i literally just got braces 20 minutes ago this is the perfect thing to watch after. kenji and his red bulls😭
how did kenji know i needed a video to eat to.
That’s exactly what I was doing😭
Bruh finally people who are actually TRYING before Gordon pulls up
My parents have been questioning my attitude lately..... Guess I have been watching to much Kenji XD

I am BEGGING for the Amy's baking company episode react
I would love to see Kenji react to any of the Bar Rescue compilations🤣it’s almost like if Jerry Springer and Hell’s Kitchen had a lovechild
this vid is a great example why u keep ur friendships out of work. dude feels bad doing anything towards his dad and its dragging everything and everyone else down

That's the worst ones I guess 💀
TITLE HAD ME SO CONCERNED BECAUSE MY EYES IMMEDIATELY WENT TO “COMDOM”
y'all sleeping on the human chicken nuggets thing that was wild 😭🙏
i work in hospitality and like it isn’t bad as some people but i get people who complain about the prices all the time like I CHANGED THE DAMN PRICES
Fun fact: even though they tried everything to keep the place alive and began doing the right thing, but in 2010 the place ended up shutting down anyway due to financial struggles....
Ya know that's genuinely the one thing we don't really see Gordon help with, if I'm wrong do correct me but he hasn't once actually helped keep the restaurant afloat by helping them FINANCIALLY
38:32 I got so mad for Aaron. I want to go in there and start yelling at everyone. Gordon would have nothing on me.
Chefs need to taste their own food, Kenji, that's how being a cook works lol
I've been to that town plenty of times but have never heard of that restaurant
It closed down in 2010 and was called brownies and hook's under new management
(worst waiter story for me)
The restaurant I work at takes less than 20 minutes when making the food but because it wasn’t short enough, someone threw their drink in my face completely soaking me in soda, I was sticky the whole day
Loving the consistent reactions 🤍🤍🤍
YAY KENJI POSTED
Kenji posted and im so happyyy!! He always makes me feel better when im sad❤️‼️
poor Aaron omg
18:46 lmaoo im eating a oatmeal cookie rn- youre so right
27:32 hes the same on eating the food lol
(7:14) those bug eyes go wild....
Giving Aaron head chef but not giving him respect with that was so disrespectful GO AARON being head chef was well deserve
I’d love if kenji did a series of reacting to kitchen nightmares, I love monke’s reaction
I’ve watched the entirety of kitchen nightmares but with Kenji reacting is so much more hilarious
Kenji is the best commentator

LOVE ME SOME KENJI x KITCHEN NIGHTMARES VIDEOS!!! ❤❤😂

Wake up pookies!!!! KENJI POSTED
If I saw my lead chef was yelling his lungs out, and nobody answered at all, I'd probably give a SINGLE warning before firing 'em.
does kenji know someones been reacting to his content?- 💀
This restaurant is no longer open as far as I know
KENJI POSTED 🎉🔥

Just because someone gave you a job doesn't mean it's their fault when you don't do it

Yayyy Kenji posted yall wake tf up 👹
Kinda late but I'm still loving the doodle character (avatar? Idk what to call it 😭)
Kenji should watch bar rescue its basically like kitchen nightmares
I wonder if this is why people “magically” get food poisoning after eating at restaurants.
Hi kenji, I’m making pasta rn, like the pasta from scratch hehe, have a nice day!!!
