when you realise it's the episode where Chef Mike gets thrown out of a building
it's happening EVERYBODY STAY CALM. STAY F*CKING CALM
You definitely know your audience
STAY CALM
NOO POOR MIKE
OH NO. CHEF MIKE. HES BROKEN
Admin is the real MVP! An absolute LEGEND!!
the lessons i learned from KN are :
never open restaurant
never work with family
never put down house as collateral
Totally 100 percent agree !
You have to really love cooking to open a restaurant, but don't expect a big payday unless you're a franchisee and you get a crew that can make the food to spec.
100% never work with family. In my experience, working with family makes you hate each other and become estranged, or someone screws someone else over in the deal and it's terrible.
If you put your house down as collateral you better at least have some numbers that indicate you will be successful. This show makes you realize what can go wrong.
This comment needs to pinned in every Kitchen Nightmare video
So many "dreaming" of having one's own restaurant, and so few dreamers with restaurant experience.
You are a quick learner
That is actual pain, to hear a mother say “I’d rather be dead than have a son like you”
Damn.
That hit so hard 😢
It made me tear up hearing her say that.... no elderly mother should feel that way...
You clearly don't know how dramatic old world European mothers are... she definitely grew up in the old ways.
or she is a master manipulator....
Came to the comments for this... Brutal...
Kiki the aunt is the best character in this shows history. Shouting Greek at the dumb guy while Gordon stands there and has no idea what she's saying
I just love when he decides to change and her demeanor changes 180 degrees, showing her compassion, that she still loves her nephew, and all she needed to hear is that he'd commit to changing. That just melted my heart. So much unhappiness, dissolved. She really was the backbone there.
And I'm pretty sure Athina and Kiki are twins. Their resemblance to each other is uncanny.
then tellin' her sister to shut up because she created this mess lol Kiki a REAL one
@@beanabovethefrank1499My thoughts as soon as I saw her
@@pecosR0B🤣💯
The dumb guy that made the restaurant popular and was dragged down by her constant nagging and bitching to the point of not caring about life anymore. what a GREAT CHARACTER!
28:31 "i left my children for you"
Damn. Thats raw. I didnt even think about that before. This woman came from a country to where she doesnt speak english to help her nephew and left her family behind and now it came to this
I know right!
She has the love for them.
I would not be patient like her if I was willing to sacrife for my nephew but he disrespect me. I would have left and brought my sister with me. Let the disgraceful old baby nephew understand that he was nothing without them.
I have never ever felt disgusted to anyone like this. I have watched this show for years.
How can she call her mom like that. I wish, it's just him. Hope it is not western ways treat parents.
Love parents please, sometimes they nag. It's all because they love you and want you to change
James meant 10 o'clock pm.
That's on her. The arrogance to think she could turn it around.
Not only is Gordon a chef. He's also an accountant, family therapist, interior decorator, food critic, marriage counselor, health inspector, priest, psychic, mechanic, and soon to be aviation engineer
You forgot math teacher
He wants to sort his own restaurants out, he Is single handily destroying the Savoy, “what a shame”
Guys, his name is Gordon. Lmao first Gorgon then Gordan
Is anyone in this thread going to spell Gunbon's name correctly?
gorgon the chefbarian
I had mad respect for Gordon until he started throwing employees out of the window.
RIP Chef Mike.
Defenestration caught live in film, Gordon Ramsay arrested
I read this before watching it, got so confused
Lmfao
@@aestheticnugget6284 This got me as well , god damn it
@@aestheticnugget6284 me too😑😂
He hates that his Mom nags, but doesn’t realize if he did what he was supposed to she wouldn’t HAVE to nag. Perfect timing sample of zero accountability.
Fr like if you want the nagging to stop, do your job!!
I knew a guy like that once, he didnt do a thing to help or contribute to affairs of his flat, he left the place an actual dumpsite, and he acted so shocked as he wondered why his dad nagged him so frequently😂😅
Or maybe he lost all his passion and motivation because his mom and aunt nags all the time. He's dead inside heating that
He knows he's a total f-up, that's why he doesn't want to hear it
"I love my aunt like she IS my mom." ... After watching how he treated his mother, I can agree 100%.
He's a dummy. Bite the hand that feeds you and go to rehab.
the POWER the waiter who made the chef mike joke has, imagine making a joke infront of gordon ramsay, and not only does he say it multiple times in the same episode/visit, but it ALSO becomes a running joke
maybe it was an old running joke he was so used to saying , he had no problem saying it to ramsay lol
prob being: it wasn't a joke.
Dude should be getting royalties at this point
Chef Mike is now the official name in hospitality, like everywhere, from Dublin to Dubai..
Turn down for Watts
Was half expecting Gordon to start talking fluent German
For real hahahha
Verdammt! Das wäre witzig gewesen! (damn, that would have been funny) 😁
Dieser Kommentarbereich steht nun unter deutscher Besatzung... :)
Ich hatte mich so darauf gefreut, Gordon Ramsay Deutsch sprechen zu hören. Und dann die Enttäuschung: Er spricht gar kein Deutsch...
@@uniichuu0913 you are leaving the american sector! ;)
R.I.P. Chef Michael R. Wave. ❤ We will never forget you.
😂
is nobody talking about the fact that they're not only microwaving hella food but they're also microwaving it with plastic wrap on top??
That's quite common in restaurants. Portion bags and Saran wrap go in the microwave and even the oven sometimes.
Microwavable plastic bags are a thing. If you ever had steamed veggies at a not fancy restaurant they're microwaved in bags.
That's where the flavor comes from
In fact the microwave is designed to work with wrapped foods. That's how the water content stays in and around the food. Keeping it moist and juicy on the one hand and steaming the food on the other hand.
"I'd rather be dead than to have a son like you" is something no man should hear. But he's just sitting there like it's just another day.
i thought it was "i cant take it anymore i'd rather be dead" or was this another time?
nvm it literally just happened
For real, hes taking her for granted
imagine pouring your life savings into your sons restaurant, 800k, you move to help him, your sister moves and ends up having to help and over time you watch as he burns through your savings and gets lazier and lazier with lower and lower standards. To the point where while you show up at 6am and work all day when you should be retired he arrives midday and then mopes about barely lifting a finger.
The heaviest lifting he managed was carrying the massive balls it took to justify and excuse away his abysmal work ethic and food standards while insulting and arguing with his mother and aunt about why it was their fault that he was a lazy useless waste of space.
He's an addict. No matter what it is he's addicted to it has taken over his life and he has no power to change unless he fesses up.
How typical, the only chef working his ass off gets thrown out for it.
He was so consistent and put in the most hours.
@@HunterShowsNever complained, never asked for a raise...
@@0x777 Always communicated clearly in the kitchen.
@@HunterShows And how was he thanked? Being thrown out a 2 story window. That's how.
Everyone and thing is replace able…….
this dude pissed through his familys $800k+ and still talks to his own mother like this whilst microwaving his familys 'ancestral' recipes
I've binge-watched a lot of Kitchen Nightmares episodes so far; maybe 30 in no particular order. I've heard Gordon use a lot of terms like lazy, arrogant, shameful, stupid, etc. But when Jake was called a 'sack of sh*t', I felt he'd earned the highest possible level of Gordon's contempt.
Yeah it's because that's why Gordon ran away from home. He wasn't abused in any unlawful way, he was just given a rough time with no sympathy. Just like Jake. But unlike Gordon, Jake didn't run away, he stayed and let the restaurant go to pieces as a form of silent protest about the way he was treated. "You wanna yell at me? Ok fine, I'll give you so many reasons to yell at me that you lose your voice."
@@misteral9045 IMO Those two things aren't really comparable...Also Gordon WAS unlawfully abused, his father was violent alcoholic and abused him and his siblings. Gordon had no control over what was happened to him, while the lazy son on the other hand was the reason for most of all the problems, and had absolutely no intention of making things any better.
If anything, he held so much contempt for the lazy son simply because he knew that that the guy knew he was driving his mother crazy and into horrible debt and couldn't care less. Gordon is known family man and holds family as one of, if not THE most important things in life. It probably really hurt Gordon to see the horrible situation the mother was in, and the fact the Son was intentionally making things worse, made him even angrier.
@@Aevilbeast Abuse isn't comparable to abuse? Lmao. I'd stop right there but I read the rest of it anyway and yeah it's just yapping.
@@misteral9045 Dunning-Kruger in action
@@Iguessthislldo Anti-intellectuals are unpleasant as a concept, but in practice, well, they're anti-intellectuals.
I actually felt sad for chef mike.. he's been doing his best, never late for work, always committed, held on for years. He deserves much better. RIP
I have adopted Chef Mike. He's thriving here.
@@pregnantelephant5275 😄
Isn’t it chef mic?
Why u talking about present mic
I agree, they could have donated Chef Mike to a soup kitchen or some other charity like that. A complete waste of a vintage kitchen aid.
I'm actually disgusted. How could they publicly execute Chef Mike after everything he did for them? He probably had a family, kids. And they just threw him out of a window to his death, Mafioso style. Never forget Chef Mike. Rest in peace.
This comment is so weird when you’re reading this before watching the episode with no context 😂😂😂😂😂
true
I see what you did there
my mom and i just cried tears by laughing at how funny this comment is
Chef Mike is resting in pieces.
I like how this son doesn't give a crap about anything but it's 900,000 of his mother's money up on grabs that just shows you how disrespectful this young man is to his parents
If my mom told me I’ll rather be dead then have a son like you I wouldn’t give two shits about anything either
Yet he keeps saying it’s his business and they should leave so he could do his job but he only comes to work for 3 hours! Crazy
He is not even young. 41 years old when this show is recorded 😂
I think it’s hilarious that a restaurant was her dream, he only went to culinary school so she could live that dream, but it’s his fault she’s in debt for the restaurant she wanted and pressured her kid to enable 😂
@@InalienableOtterglad someone see it
The way Jake shook Gordon's hand. No eye contact. He is a broken man.
What I’m learning from these videos is to never start a restaurant with my family
or ever start a restaurant full stop
Not just a restaurant but any type of a job lol
A friend of mine did open a restaurant with his family. A greek family.... man.. they yell all the time. It's really bad. I would never run any kind of business with family.
Bro fr i went on a trip with my family last month and it was such a disaster. Such different prioritis. If we opened a restourant my dad be like i dont care AT ALL what we make. My mom would be like lets make something healthy and my sis would straight up be like lets go to holland and make weed muffins😃😃😃we actually went to holland for the trip so thats why ik😃😃😃
you take your lifes training from tv shows ? hows that working out so far ?
"Mom, get the fuck out of my kitchen" ????
I'd be in a fridge in the mortuary before completing the whole sentence.
I wish.
My mother wasn't the best, but she tried and I loved her. She coukd say some foul stuff at times, I never cursed at her or disrespected her, and trust me I have a gutter mouth and a violent streak, but disrespecting your mother is the lowest thing one can do, and I can respect no man who treats his mother like trash.
@@beentheredonethat5908 there are so many worse things that you can do. I would say that being violent is one of them.
Not judging you, I'm not saint myself. Done a lot of things I'm ashamed of.
I just don't agree with you there at all.
☠️
If I was in that group, I'd have been out of a job. He'd get a piece of my mind. That's HER $800,000 kitchen.
26:41 This is the quietest I've ever seen chef Ramsay 🤣🤣🤣
I've yelled at the screen more in this episode than the rest of the series combined. If the boss weren't his mother, Jake would have lost his jobs years ago
Jake is honestly the type of man to never do his laundry so his wife does it, and when she asks him to be an adult and do his own laundry, he'd call it "nagging"
Spot on!
FR
That's the woman's job
Make me a Sandwich too
@UCMIqEG4Cf44GWNbLMiTaQlQ lol true
JK fuck off
Imagine being a chef with 14-15 years experience and being reduced to microwaving everything. I feel for Diego his potential etc just being stunted
I would probably cry
I've seen cooks with 30 years experience that can't cook for shite. 🤷🏻♂️
I cook every day. There is no way I'd use a microwave for anything. In fact I even own a microwave.
@@florianmaschke269 not even last nights leftovers?
@@florianmaschke269 Sounds pretentious
28:16 Wow. After such a huge fight, seeing his aunt hug him and cry with him is so powerful. Seeing that they were ready to change and really did want to fix things not just with the restaurant but with eachother actually brought me to tears. The emotion in her voice and the tears on his face. I never cry watching anything but that is just something else because it's so raw.
If I heard Gordon just got to a restaurant I'm not sure I'd risk eating there at that point.
I can't tell if Gordon is annoyed at the argument they're having, or the fact that they're yelling in a language he can't understand.
I wouldnt bet on him not understanding greec. More likely he can speak acient greec tongue and they only understand THIS IS SPARTA out of it.
Yes!
Reza it’s both
It's kinda weird that one of them speaks German, who's on a Greek restaurant.
tbh you don't need to understand greek to understand what they are saying I think xD
Jake looks like a generic priest with a dark past from every exorcist movie.
im fucken dead lmfaoooo
LOL
True, but only on the sequels!
Every priest has a dark past.
You summed it up!
No matter how deep a hole may seem, cursing your mother is just a different type of low...
He was a WoW player who stayed up all night raiding and PvPing. I know because that used to be me.
Don't worry, Chef Mike is a trained professional he knew what he were doing when he accepted to do his own stunts.
he's literally made for cooking!

NO, NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME! why should i waste my time at school? i am super famous on youtube. tell me, dear rez
@@AxxLAfriku a very v.
When I go to a restaurant I will ask if it was cooked by Chef Mike or Chef Fresh
it's Chef Mic. not mike. Microwave
@@jayzellemanalo6180 tbf, the subtitles and the kitchen nightmares channels comment both say mike not mic . . . also some may see mic as mick even though its from microwave :)
also could be cause mic is short for microphone rather than microwave, so it avoids confusion by spelling it like the actual name mike :)
This was the BEST episode of Kitchen Nightmares I've watched. Ramsey fixed the family and fixed
the restaurant. I'm so glad he restored this family and restaurant.
I was very disappointed that they didn't get help in time. It turns out that El Greco was
closed down because their debt was too high to overcome. That is so sad.
yeah I'm so sorry for his mother
His aunt is a savage and I love her
21:53 when Anthony the chef saif "I wouldn't be alive right now if i talked to my mother the way jake does, my mom would've murdered me!" that is one of the most reallest thing i have ever hear...i was like "same bro same" XD
This is pretty much par for course with Greek families. Thankfully, my Greek butt was raised by a British mother so I can relate with both you and Anthony lol
I swear I said the same thing the first time he told his mom to shut up. I was like, man, I would be six feet under.
my mom would have slapped the taste out of my mouth
Yep, I remember the last time I talked to my mom like that. Was 14 years old. Ended up with a blood nose. You show respect to your mom no matter what. Learned a hard lesson that day. Especially when my dad found out.
I can't imagine talking to my mom like that. The first time would be the last.
i shed a tear when the aunt broke down , it aint easy leaving your home country for the dreams of another especially a sibling and their kids. her words shook me
In the end everyone decides over their own fate
@@hmaroni9572 yeah- if you're clairvoyant. The rest of us, not so much.
@@annebritraaen2237 She made the choice. Not like Italy is a poor country is it?
@@keithbentley6081 It this a matter of statistics?
@@keithbentley6081 It's Greece. And yes it is a poor country. They were governed by a group of bankers because they went bankrupt not a long time ago. People lost their pensions. There is shit infrastructure, corruption, debt, criminality. The only real way of making money in Greece is tourism.
US is not dreamland either but there is more jobs for unskilled workers
The son/nephew is extremely disrespectful towards his mother and aunt in a way that’s inexcusable. He has no idea how lucky he is to have a mother and aunt that cares enough to argue with him.
Gordon's changes lives. Brings families closer, so they become passionate again. He's Chef/counsellor/life coach all in one. I cried when they were fighting. I grew up with a few Greek families and I've only ever known them to be passionate about their culture, family. Always loving, spportive and productive as a whole.
As a recovering drug addict, I recognized a fellow addict in Jake immediately. He needed a hell of a lot more than anything this show could do for him.
Recovering from addiction too, I see it. Games might be part of it but there’s a substance involved too.
I think he's on Xanax bars
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one
@@blacksapphirerain You’ve got that right! That’s the most logical explanation for his personality shift.
@@Fur4dayz Me too!
They did Chef Mic dirty. He busted his ass off for this restaurant and they reward him by not only sacking him but also ending his life. So sad to see you go Micy. You will always be in our hearts and our homes.
It's ok, sweetie. He's in Kitchen Heaven sitting at the right hand of The Great Stove of Final Judgement, under the Holy Aura of gravy, the Eternal Trio.
He gave his all for humanity. He is rewarded. And I give due obeisance every time I use his ancestor, MiniMic, in my own culinary endeavours. Well, disasters.
So true chef Mic never complained and NEVER took a day off 😢
I felt the same man lol... he should of been given away to a needy house 🏠
I read this comment before watching the video, genuinely worried for a second 💀.
@@alibloo1327 Can I get a time stamp? I too am confused
Imagine calling yourself a chef and then saying a microwave doesn’t ruin food. Unbelievable
Calling your mom by her first name is shocking
How so?
I mean, if he was otherwise being respectful I don’t think calling her by her name when they are literally at work would be a big deal and would probably be very sensible, but he’s clearly doing it as a mark of disrespect
I work with my mom in the same company and I call her by her first name at work. It feels weird saying "yeah I'll just email my mom about that" 😂 but also I don't disrespect her and swear at her.
" I left my children for you" felt like a punch in the gut and I'm not even the one running a restaurant into the ground
Exactly what I thought. I was stunned for a sec after hearing her say it
@@EmperorHeadass someone in the comments actually translated the greek, it was a mistranslation
@@Insane_Kane which comment?
@@Insane_Kane No actually it wasn't a mistranslation. She actually says that se left her children for him, which makes me wonder if she traveled from Greece to US, so she could support them.
PS: Trust me, I am Greek :D
Maybe she meant it in a supportive way? I mean, how old are the children? They surely are adults when she left them. She probably meant that she left her family in Greece to support her nephew and sister in the US.
The aunt said such sweet things to him when she hugged him. Man i wish the subtitles where right. She told him how strong and smart he is, that she loves him so much that she left her own children in Greece to support him and her sister and that he's her life and her soul. It almost made me cry
Thank you for telling us ❤️
@Hugh Mongous I’m sure they’re adults and can take care of themselves. She probably means she moved far away from her family to help her sister and nephew.
And she was fuckin rude to him the whole time. Everyone is at fault here, I totally get the guy being sick of this shit when every day he hears his family talk about how terrible he is.
Also I thought she was from Germany, since she speaks only German??
@@highdefinition450 they wouldn't talk about terrible he is if he weren't terrible

Kiki is so absolutely right about everything and it is so frustrating that the family doesn’t translate word for word so that Gordan could know how she feels
Gordon not understanding a word from the aunt is priceless.
And then he asks...German?
She:A little bit.

I thought that too. 😂
Once again, the problem is ALWAYS THE FOOD. With the exception of that one soul food restaurant in the beginning, that’s always the reason.
There was that ine in Pomona where 1 of the workers was stealing food and alcohol frequently. That was a big problem. Also high end food in a low end neighborhood.
Something my grandma always said that really sticks w me and applies to this episode, "if a man says a woman is his life is 'nagging', it means she asked him to do something and he didnt do it so she got pissed off"
No way in hell would I even think to speak to my mom like that
I spoke like that to my mom once, my dad made sure I wasn’t sitting for a month
Seriously? Mom from hell.
@crimsonmaelstrom573 that's why dad's are important
You also probably have a very different mom than he does. Anybody who's dealt with an abusive narcissist knows she's absolutely not the angel she tries to make herself out to be.
@yesindeed5637 yes! Fatherlessness is a scourge in society
Rumours has it that chef mike is alive and doing well ! He apparently found a job as a home private cook after getting a deal with a major ready meals company signed for life .
This is funny
I have met him several times and can confirm this information.

The cops would have to hunt for my body if I spoke to my mom like this dude. wild af
As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for years, you can tell he has a severe coke and alcohol problem but they just called it a “video game” problem. I’ve seen many chefs with booze problems move from high level cooking to relying on the microwave so they can cook hungover
Thought the same thing
At the time there was something worse than coke and alcohol. World of Warcraft. Plenty of jobs and marriages went down to that.
@@neXib Hah, I was just thinking when this was filmed and yup, right there with my glory years of WoW. Luckily, I was just in 8th-9th grade, all I messed up was some of my grades, my sleep schedule and (a bit) my relationship with my parents, lol.
@@neXib We used to call it World of WarCrack in my guild. Hell, it was damn addicting, and that was before all the timegating and RNG bs that they started adding post WoD.

Yeah, well have you noticed what heavy words have left her mouth? "his not a human being anymore, she rather die than have a son like him, etc etc." Much much worse than anything he said. He might yell at her but still he isn't saying the awful things she is saying.
Imagine living every day hearing her say such things. She completely broke the man. She deserves every awful reaction she gets.

How in the hell are you going to argue with Gordon Ramsay about food.
The episode that gave birth to the god of the microwaves, the glorious Chef Mike. He died for our cooking sins after getting thrown out of the building. May his microwaves send warmth to your "fresh-frozen" food. Amen.
EDIT: Wow, my most liked comment. Thank you people! May Chef Mike bless your dinner tonight.
This comment is amazing 😂😂😂 great job man
Amennnnn🙌🙌🙌
May Chef Mike resurrect on the Day if Judgement and grant salvation to chefs that cook fresh.

The Americans keep speaking English as if anyone speaks English.
@@ingevonschneider5100 well she is in America sweetie, not Greece.
She was really frustrated that she couldn't be understood by Gordon as well. And neither the mother, or the son properly translated what she was saying because it was embarassing for them both. The only reasonable member of that family in that room, was that angry lady.
@@skurinski pretty sure that comment was a general observation, sweetie
lol every video of kitchen nightmares there’s always some brain dead double digit IQ idiots in the comments claiming it’s all fake. so you think every episode of kitchen nightmares they find like 10+ people who can act really well to pretend to have a failing restaurant? literally the logic of a child
Those smiling faces of the Mom & son? Priceless ❤ They were absolutely beaming.
Been binge watching these didn’t realize what I been missing out on
Reading the comments at the start of the episode had me so confused 😂 “rip chef Mike” “chef Mike deserved better” “chef Mike was just doing his best” 😂 ffs
Haha, me too! I just watched the episode where Chef Trevor admitted his drug problem and got sacked, I thought "Chef Mike" had committed suicide. So relieved no death involved (apart from the mike-rowave!)..
i thought someone died. turned out I was right! RIP
Frrr! I thought Gordon legit lost his shit and tossed Chef mike out the window!!!!
I'm at the start of the episode. Very exciting
Every introduction in the beginning I was waiting go see wtf Chef Mike is and why is he dead 😂😂😂😂 it will teach me to stop running to the comment section at the start of the episode!!!
I looked up the result of this restaurant and it is so sad. Episode was filmed in August/September of 2011; restaurant closed in December 2011 because of debt; episode aired in January 2012.
No way so it closed down before the show was aired
Sad
Seems like Ramsay couldnt save almost any of the restaurants.. very very few of these survived more than a year or two
@@niggasjitwell how’s that he’s fault?most of them always go back to their old ways and some are far beyond with their debt it will be too late to turn things around
Thanks for the update… sad as it is.
@@gabhandebrun1871A lot of the regulars complained that Chef Ramsey changed out the authentic Greek food for generic Greek food. And James started trying to cut corners after Gordon left. Really sad.
I'm not going to let chef Ramsley defeat me.
As he says while crying, already defeated.
If I ever open a restaurant, KN is my go-to show to literally show me what to do and not to do.
El Grego closed in December 2011.
Several staff left the restaurant including the lead line cook and there were many disagreements after the episode was filmed, according to cook James.
James also claimed that Jake was difficult to work with and had already started cutting corners on Gordon's menu.
Yelp reviews after his visit were mostly poor with negative comments on the food quality, menu availablity and slow service. 😢
As much as I like watching it, it's generally a stretch thinking a couple of days is going to change what is obviously long standing dynamics like the ones in this episode.
That's an example of why people can't blame Chef Ramsey if the restaurant fails after he tries to help them. You can't help those who won't help themselves
I would give my left you know what to have Gordon R come in my restaurant and pick apart what I was doing wrong then I would listen and everything he told me .
That's sad man...
@@agent57 I think the main thing is. Long term change isn't an option for these places. What Gordan did was give them publicity, a chance to fix things and turn it around, and renovate the space if necessary to help deal with debts and such to give basically last leg about to die locations a final chance
Jake has depression. Being tired all the time and losing interest are major symptoms. This is an example of how much depression can destroy your life, but ppl who dont suffer with it dont understand and accuse you of being lazy. Just makes it worse.
My thoughts exactly, He reminded me a lot of myself from years ago. I'm in therapy and I would never have been functional and even successful today without it. Screaming to a depressed person that he/she is worthless does not help.
Yea and the way the mother handles it is just sickening but so typical. Everyone acts like she’s a sweet old lady but I think the definitely plays a role there. „I’d rather be dead than have a son like you“ bruh tf is wrong with this mother. No wonder he’s depressed
Thank god i found the comment iam looking for, god o felt so bad for this guy i know exactly how it is living among people who dont understand it and its just so draining, no wonder he dont want to come to work, and i know exactly why he talks like that to his mother cause my mother is the same, i hope he is better now and maybe finds a way away from his mother so he might be able to do what he wants and not needs to dedicate his Life to his mothers dream
he was addicted to world of warcraft.
Just because he may have depression it doesn't excuse his horrid behaviour.
wow this is the first episode that had made me cry ...
Chef Mike tried his best, cut him some slack!
hello unknown checkmark
@@yuma8575 lol whos that idiot sayin he tried his best
Got straight up murdered.
@@MrFooFighter13 what's with the death comment?
Chef Mic = Chef Microwave
the microwave has the most work experience of all of them
I definitely agree about the addiction problems. He needs serious help
This is so sad. The mother does not deserve this, I hope she is alright . I haven’t finished the episode but I’m praying this restaurant is alright.
how you feel now
I Know .That son needs a good slap treating his old mother like that.
@Heartthrob Goswamy holy crap really?
@Heartthrob Goswamy this isn't a funny joke... Think a bit before commenting here.
I dunno - it's easy to judge these situations from the outside but the whole "I would rather die, I would rather be dead than have a son like you" that's textbook passive aggressive, manipulative, emotionally abusive behaviour and the son is showing signs of serious depression, not laziness. The fact that she can't wait to join in when Gordon starts attacking him is another big red flag for that. Then she literally goes out and prays that Gordon is going to attack him for her.
My guess is that the mother has brow beaten and emotionality abused her son into deep depression and then used the symptoms of the depression she caused against him.
Honestly, with a mother like that desperately waiting for a chance to tell him what a failure he was, I don't blame him for not wanting to go into work. And nobody will recognise what she's doing because she looks like a sweet older woman.
The anger in her sisters eyes! She knows the depression her sister is feeling and the stress will kill her slowly! The son needs to learn to respect his mother PERIOD! She’s yelling because she’s tired .
In all the episodes I've seen, at least the chefs attempted to present the food in a somewhat good-looking manner. But this guy couldn't even bother. He just tossed the food in the plates and that was it.
As soon as i heard video game addiction, i knew it was over. A world class chef may be able to get him excited about cooking again, but after Gordon leaves, the video game addiction will win. I watched my friend fail out of college cause he couldn’t leave his computer. The addiction is too powerful for these people to overcome.
I wonder if Dustin ever watches these videos/reads the comments and sits back with pride for being the one who started the legend of Chef Mike.
This is one of the few episodes where Chef Ramsay doesn't even walk into the fridge, which makes me think it was run really well and clean, tells you a lot about the standards his chefs had - dude really fucked something good for himself and his mom, this is beyond tragic.
It was probably clean bc the food was always prepared by the aunts and then it was just microwaved xD
I don't know about that i feel like this wasn't his dream to begin with because he says he did the course because his mom wanted to open a restaurant
I know everyone is blaming him but when you hate something like your job or loose passion or never had it which this guy clearly did not want to be a chef he had no passion the mother did and I guess he tried to appease that before she kicked the bucket
some people feel a specific need to please their parents
@@alien-ann Absolutely this, I honestly feel bad for the dude.
I was hoping that the Head Chef temporarily left the restaurant while watching the episode. It seems so clear he has mental issues tbh when you observe him. To think that he used to be so good at what he is doing and regress like this much is wondering. I also noticed how the quality of storage and facilities isn't much a problem unlike what we always encounter from other episodes. It's sad to think abt what happened to the restaurant. The Mother could've done different, I felt so much pity for her.
@@alien-ann He looked so depressed.
19:00 Even momma is hoping for a fight LOL
This was one of the hardest videos to watch on TH-cam. Holy cow.
The fact that they did all this and still having to close is so disappointing. I was expecting a happy ending
@Heartthrob Goswamy excuse me?
@Heartthrob Goswamy wot
@@breaded.7964 what did that person say?
@@loujainisokay they said something that doesn’t make sense 😭
@@breaded.7964 LMAO ahahah
If I talked to my mom like that,not only would she kick my ass,my dad would finish the job.
The disrespect, is disgraceful!!
I totally agree you should not speak to your mother that way :(
The way the auntie spoke to him was 10 times worse
@@jakecolleran10 he deserved it
@@immybob09 don’t think anyone deserves to be spoken to like that
@@jakecolleran10 he needed a wake up call and his aunt was sick of his crap
That zucchini tho. That was gnarly man
To go through all of this and STILL have to close down the restaurant and lose everything at the end... I hope their family is doing better now, what a grueling ordeal.
This had to be the most depressing restaurant in the series
He's clearly an addict. Might be videogames or something else, but he is clearly sleep deprived and depressed, running from his problems instead of facing them.
i think there's another one that's more depressing, it was a pizza or smth
@@UnsungAces burger kitchen also
Yes, what really would have helped was hiring an external chef to lead the kitchen and let him take some months of to fix his depression and addiction.
@@lobaxx He seems deeply depressed and you cannot expect someone like that to just change over a day.
the whole show I was keeping my eyes on Anthony and the server, such a fine guys.
edit: it's funny watching Gordon not understand a single thing about what they're arguing about and just stand there awkwardly watching them fighting and when kiki starts talking to him he just listens but doesn't have any idea what it means
Haha glad I wasn't the only one who thought that they looked fine. 😂
The aunt is calling him a dumb animal when she doesn’t even realize Scotsmen don’t speak Greek.
Dustin is heIIa fine especially in that tucked shirt he has on 🤩✨
@@felixoupopote she didn't really cared about Gordon
thought i was the only one. haha. they look fine af.
Woo wee, the aunt letting him have it was so satisfying 😂❤
How ironic that Gordon has a line of frozen TV dinners now after all the frozen food hate over the years.
😂
If your parents offer to use their life savings on you. Don't ever do it.
Agreed!
I would never even dream of using my parents hard earned savings/pensions to fund some sort of vanity project that I have zero knowledge about. Opening a restaurant is risky enough if you know what you're doing ffs! Nevermind if you don't have a clue.
Edit: Not only that, if I did borrow their money and it failed I wouldn't have the audacity to blame them and then talk to them like dirt.
Wow this actually came right after my mom offer me to pay my college by selling her house.
Real question :
Should I take it? If not, what should I do??
@@ameliaross854 wow how expensive is this college. Not able to get student loans? In any case it's a tough decision for sure, wish you the best.
💯
The way that man speaks to his mother, I was just horrified. Calling her by her first name, huge disrespect in my cultures(I have a Japanese mother) , shushing her by saying "be quiet" and telling her to get the f..out of "my restaurant" that she paid for ? Lord have mercy if I talked to my mother in that way.
Fr, he was so disrespectful bro... I can't even jokingly say anything towards my mom without being yelled at and getting a lecture lol
in any culture its disrespectful
@@zenzuoken4496 I am Asian 2.but what is shameful is that I spoke with my mother in the same way as this man,to be honest.but the reason that I spoke like that is my mother did a lot of horrible decisions of financial investment and stubborn ,single minded and obsessive with a cult which only care about controlling her bank account,what should I do to her?respect?
Maybe she should stop constantly nagging him. Nagging is infuriating at the best times never mind when you're in a failing business that your family relies on
Man i pity you all for having such strict parents and cultures. I mean calling your mother by their first name is disrespectful? What the fuck?
Not enough love for the respect of the business, and no love towards his mother.
Heartbreaking
Chef Mike - what a legend
Kept the restaurant alive for all those years only to be cruelly dumped without any warning
Auntie pulled out the gordon special on that dude.
"DONKEY"
26:50 and animal 😂😂😂😂
I believe there’s more to this story. Jake looked like an addict.. No normal guy would treat his mom & aunt that way.. His lack of self-respect, passion is just a product of whatever susbstance abuse he’s in.. What he needs is not just a restaurant makeover but therapy..
I think he was depressed. The way he reacted to his mom's nagging seemed over the top. But when Kiki went off on him... I kind of get it. She was tearing into him because she saw what he was doing to her sister, and I get it. But that's the kind of rage I'd expect from a mom who's child is hurt/threatened. Not from an aunt who loves him.
We were seeing the results of a year+ long spiral of depression.
That said, video games can genuinely be dopaminergically addicting, especially when combined with depression and sleep issues which were all present. The man's headspace was not well, for sure. But it's impossible to say from what we've seen whether his mental health was a result or a cause.
I think he's depressed.
why does nobody sees his side? he has to listen to his mother telling him that she rather wanna die than having him as a son. that fucking hurts man. no one feels such rage and madness against their parents for no reason. not every parent is perfect. the kids are the products of their parents.
For me Depression looks diffrent.i think he is an addict.
@@was1sadlife315 I think she said that because of how he treats her not the other way around
After all of his work, Chef Mic. was murdered in cold blood. Imagine working tirelessly, just to meet your demise the next day.
RIP Chef Mike, you will not be forgotten 🕊️
an argument with parents is normal but to tell her to get out of her own restaurant that she paid for would get my ass whooped
