[@jenzu4229]

not really u can train to be a chef but being a headcheaf is totally different thing and u actually need to study for it or learn it from experience, but since the owner haven't gottena clue to wtf is going on thats why he can do whatever he wants in the kitchen

[@Kaitri]

according to a google search: the restaurant closed on april 18th 2009. and the "sweet old couple" blamed gordon for their sales going down. AFTER CALLING HIM FOR HELP let that sink in for a moment.

[@danteciccarelli2790]

[@Dream146]

Honestly Terry really showed his true colours when he pulled that "power play" on Brian. He couldn't think of any good answer so just flexed his position over a waiter while continuing to sulk in the corner doing nothing. He was a small cowardly man who deserved to be called on that.

[@ZuccaEZagara]

Yay, he's nothing but an opportunistic jellyfish.

[@TheTrooperMB]

damn i paused to look at a comment , thank you!

[@skypekai]

Nah I just think that situation was so new to him he didnt really know what to say so said the first thing that came to his mind

[@Titan.Fox56]

@@skypekai Yea but the only time he shows a backbone its when a waiter has finally had enough of the owner being a coward and a chef who shouldn't even be a cook and let them both have it. Instead terry should've finally realize that Pinto was dead weight and fired him. The waiter gave some advice even if it was rude/harsh but its the truth and the owner believing himself better than the waiter cause he owns the place? Like he doesn't realize the waiter can get a job anytime anywhere whilst he'll be spending the rest of his life trying to figure out a way to pay off that debt after failing(btw which they did)

[@patwilliams8973]

BRIAN WAS OUT OF ORDER! YOU CAN TELL YOUR BOSS HOW YOU FEEL, BUT DONT YOU DARE EVER FORGET WHO'S BOSS!

[@manuellabor661]

What the owner said to the waiter rubbed me the wrong way. He is there dealing with the constant complaints for hours while the owner hides and apologizes to nobody for the pathetic restaurant experience the diners have to endure.

[@sandratorsvik6048]

yeah, if he took his head out of his ass for 3 seconds he would realize that the chef is the reason his restaurant has gone to shit. the waiter should have resigned right then and there but i get its not easy to find a new job right away

[@manuellabor661]

@@sandratorsvik6048 Definitely. I have a few words for that owner and taken from Ramsay himself in one of his episodes "Where were you? How many tables have you talked to? How many customers did you apologize to? How much importance do you give the waitresses the manager? You're doing jackshit mate"

[@archangel323118]

Yes this! The owner is a real clown for ignoring real comments and protecting that fake chef of his. This restaurant deserves to close. (Edit): It seems they really did close and even blame Ramsay's intervention for one the reasons why they closed. Real ass clowns this couple.

[@pieterallenmasterblue1402]

The owner was out of line with the server 100%, maybe, he should listen, It is the staff who serve that deal with his customers and their complaints.

[@farlonmuentes6004]

Brian: take charge Terry: shut up u work for me Gordon: u have to take charge Terry: Gordon really opened my eyes

[@TheMattyMayhew]

it wasn't what Brian said, it was HOW he said it. a comment made by lewtable explains it. You don't go up to your boss in the middle of service and speak to them in a demeaning manner, yes people side with the wait staff but even so disrespect like that doesn't fly and shouldn't fly to any owner, hell it's lucky the owner didn't just sack him like some would have for how Brian acted.

[@Nephetssings]

@@TheMattyMayhew at a normal place I would agree. But that place couldn't even get a fucking dish out in an hour and a half. That's pathetic

[@notdog-san7933]

I know he was frustrated and if I am a server, I would too if I can't do my job, but maybe just maybe if he worded it out a bit more passive (since we all know most old people tends to get stubborn and defensive) he would've gotten terry to listen for a bit. And if terry still hadn't listened, well....

[@daltonastbury5568]

i liked Terry up until that point. but after that i just saw him as insecure and wanted his business to fail. because that’s what he deserves. failure. he won’t take anyone’s but gordon’s advice. and when terry told him what literally everyone watching this was thinking. that he needs to be fired. he went off on him. so Terry’s business should fail. for being an uptight insecure piece of shit that seems himself better than his “waiters” u can hear in his voice that he views himself as superior. disgusting man.

[@ChristophMewes]

Yeah Brian deserves an apology. He's the one who puts the finger in the wound and says it like it is. Terry was too dense and needed strong, clear words.

While I do understand your point I do think Brian stepped out of line there, you don't just go to your boss and tell him he is "hiding" and then telling him to fire the chef right infront of the chef. I do understand Brian and I can relate to his frustration, but still he should've approached it in a diffrent manner and not telling his boss what to do. I'm sure none of you would accept your worker telling you what to do in that manner. I think Brian should've gone to Gordon with that because Gordon is the one Terry would listen to and that's what happened.

[@stephencoooooool]

The owners were clearly the problem here. They were lazy and unambitious. Terry, instead of firing Pinto(who should have already been fired) chose to disrespect his waiter. He did nothing at all. The restaurant desperately needed a general manager to get things organised and fast forwarded, but the owners were clearly dumb. Them being a good couple and sweet lovely grandparents has nothing to do with business. Business is ruthless and they need to learn that. No wonder the restaurant has closed.

What Happened Next at Cafe 36? At the end of the show, we are told that Pinto was fired and Barney was offered the Head Chef job but he left to finish his culinary degree. He was replaced by Jorge Flores and Pinto was said to be working as a chef for a family in the area. Yelp reviews after filming were mixed, with some complaints about the food. Cafe 36 closed on 18 April 2009, blaming the economy and Gordon's changes to the restaurant. On a forum, "Barney" reported that Terry was previously an Executive Chef at a country club for more than 20 years but was made to look like he had little to no industry knowledge during the episode. He also revealed the personal reasons behind his fractured relationship with Pinto, comments Pinto had made about his wife and calling him as a "diner cook".

Who wants to bet Pinto never trained in Italy? Someone should tell him Fazolis isn't Italy.

[@prestigeautomotivedismantl3971]

Pinto was clearly a bad chef, but the owners treatment of the server when he tried to warn him is unforgivable. Kudos to the Server who had the brains to see what the problem was, shame on the owner who treated him so terribly. I see the restaurant has closed, what goes around comes around. Learn to treat your staff with dignity.

[@Lewtable]

Approaching your boss in the middle of service in front of customers and other staff to criticize him and tell him what to do is rude af. I get that the waiter is the underdog in the industry so people naturally stand on their side of the argument but literally any person in a leadership role that intend to succeed would have and should act the same. He didn't dismiss the waiters opinion because he was "just a waiter" but because the way he went about it was de facto questioning his superior's right to lead. Right in the middle of a hectic service no less. As Gordon said himself, the owner had to be more assertive. And cowering to your staff when they act like that in front of other staff is conveying that you're a pushover. The waiter may have been right in his opinion, but that doesn't mean that he is right in the way he went about it. And in this case the waiter handled it extremely poorly. That owner didn't deserve to have his restaurant closed over something petty like that. Stop acting like it was vindication. Bit of a rant but people need to understand that no matter how friendly or kind your boss is; while you're on duty or at work, he is your boss first and friend second. If you disrespect him, he is not going to have any choice but to bare his fangs to you and make you understand your place. And there's nothing wrong with that because that is what it means to be a leader. Assertive and being the one to make the decisions. Had the owner tried to parley with the waiter at that point the chain of command would have been broken. Had the waiter approached him *after* service and he was still incredibly dismissive or devaluing the waiter's opinion due to his occupation, that would've been shitty. Not this though.

[@tajmisquitta3536]

@@Lewtable I completely agree. The way the waiter asserted himself wheather before or after service was still wrong. Saying it in a more factual way such as "sir we need you and you need to be available, and working with chef Pinto is proving difficult because I can't show my face to my customers/feel disgraceful facing my customers" would have been more appropriate. Though undoubtedly the waiter made a very valid point but called it as it is. The owner was also in the wrong because at the end of the day those words were very demeaning to a person (in his defense though he reacted on the same level). Making a person feel that their role in your business is insignificant to you is very bad for employee morale as it also simultaneously insulting the rest of the employees with the same role. The owner should have said instead "That is not a respectful way to talk to me and also this is my business and I'll fire whoever I please for my own reasons". Telling someone to "know their place" is just another way of telling someone "you are beneath me", and saying that is not ok with me.

[@iamrandomsauce]

I agree that the server had the problem spot on. But the way he approached it, undermining the authority of his boss, was unacceptable, which is why the owner had to stand his ground, especially in the presence of another employee. The right approach was to seek this conversation in a 1-on-1 isolated situation, because otherwise he shows disrespect, and that would allow another employee like Pinto to completely dismiss the authority of the owner as well.

An idea would have been to tell the boss what his problem is and that is that he felt like he had to start lying to the customers because he had nothing else since he couldn't do his job. He could have told him about his frustration and that he wanted to do a good job but he wasn't able because of the cirumstances. Instead he acted as if he was in Gordon's position and he even seemed to have copied his tone of voice. Not a smart move but understandable out of his frustration and the hope that something could have changed.

@blue As someone closely connected to the service industry, you NEED to respect your staff. Not because you aren't the boss but because they are human and you NEED to treat them like that. I do not think "poor Terry" I think "cowardly Terry". It is easy to play an alpha male over a waiter nearly half your age. And the waiter shouldn't need to sugarcoat everything. He was blunt but not curt, he was open but not rude and he didn't even point it out as a character flaw, he pointed out something that can be changed within a second. "It really isn't that horrible" no, but it is pretty bad. He pretty much told him to mind his place. You can't talk to people like that. I've seen INTERNS treated better when they overstep.

Update: What became of Cafe 36? During the filming of the episode, the Gilmers actually became friends with Ramsay, and they had a very successful beginning to 2009 because of the changes made based on his recommendations. They updated their decor, developed a more contemporary menu and added some local artwork. After the episode aired, chef Pinto was fired and replaced by Barney, who eventually left also to finish his studies. Pinto moved on to work for a family restaurant in the area. Cafe 36 closed in April of 2009. The Gilmers blamed the weak economy and Chef Ramsay’s interference, however, reviews still confirmed the truth behind the claims of poor food and service. Whether a victim of a poor economy or of Chef Ramsay’s tough love, Cafe 36 is now nothing but an abandoned, forsaken dream.

He mistook "Take control" to act like a domineering, obnoxious wannabe bully because he can't handle being told the truth by a "Subordinate". If there's a problem, does he want his employee to raise it to get it fixed or stay quiet as not to ruffle Terry's ego? He's the one that actually has to deal with all the issues. That actually has to face the customers. Maybe swap roles for an hour. Terry can placate the (rightly) angry customers and the waiter can stand at the side watching. All sympathy gone in a few seconds. *Then a couple minutes later he's asking "But what do we do?!"....The waiter basically said the same things as Ramsey but, no, Terry couldn't listen to a "Lowly waiter".... **And now after looking it up, despite how nicey nice he was at the end, they shut down a year later and Terry blamed it on Ramsey and his changes.
