When an owner says the food is not the problem, you definitly know food is THE problem.

[@zorux6219]

There was an episode where Gordon said the food was delicious and finish the plate. Yet the restaurant shut down, even after the help of Gordon. (I believe it was because the restaurant was in a hidden place)

[@matthiasrauert8397]

@@zorux6219 Well what people have to realise is that Gordon is a chef not magician, there are many resteraunts that close everyday even though they do a good job. Most of the restaurants would need Gordon to be there for a year to make a real difference and even then nothing is guaranteed. I think the most important thing he does by being there is giving the restaurant exposure, if they can manage to stay open until the episodes airs. With that kind of publicity there is almost certainly going to be a boost in revenue even if it is just for a little while.

Not the first episode I’ve heard that claim either!

[@krusher181]

As someone who’s worked in a busy restaurant… you shouldn’t even have a tiny bit of space in the walk in fridge for your personal food. That shit should be packed with alcohol and food, with produce being replaced when it goes bad. Maybe have frozen things defrosting for prep; nothing should be in there longer than a week or so (freezer is different). If you can’t afford that, you can’t run a good restaurant. It really is a tough industry and the bosses cannot be lazy.

And being Italian is just not true as far as their cooking goes. I live close to Italy, and overcooked pasta is considered a mortal sin there. "Al Dente" isn't just a phrase. You can have Italian heritage all you want, if you overcook pasta you forfeit any claim to "authentic Italian food".

As an OWNER of all people, especially in the food industry and any similar industry where your stuff can directly affect the health of others, possibly even kill them, if your staff makes one little mistake, you should have at least a rough idea of best practice, what’s good or bad ingredients and so on and also be interested enough in the ongoings of your company to at the very least do a weekly inspection and review of if every guideline is being followed and what sells or doesn’t sell and so on…. Preferably you should actually have an education in that same field so you Actually know what’s what. Because at the end of the day, whatever happens at YOUR business you are always going to be at least partially responsible for that.

Last time I checked Sicily is an Island off the Italian coastline not Americas, and if a person is born there, it makes them Italian/Sicilian, not American.

As for you thinking they were never in Sicily, you should really clean the wax from your ears, the guy clearly explained how he was trained in Sicily, by some of the top Sicilian chefs.

Gordon can instantly tell when it’s frozen it surprises me each time

[@Archivedddddd]

If you’re a home cook, you can learn the difference pretty fast. Freezing a lot of food, especially meat, totally changes the texture due to the molecules being changed (think how a bottle of water can burst because ice expands, but for meat!) Eg Fresh Chicken tastes like layered meat but frozen chicken is a lot more rubbery.

@@sampeters3838 Sorry, too long ago. I only remember, that Gordon told them, if they had any pride left, they'd shut it down. Then they went to the guests and said, that Gordon shut them down.

I mean, it all comes down to food. Your restaurant can be absolutely shitty looking but if you serve good food, people will come. You might need to advertise a lot more but if your standard regarding food is high, people will come. I’ve traveled a lot over the years and I found that some broken looking restaurants are tastier than fine dining places so cooking is definitely the reason behind restaurant success

There really are a lot.

Not that I mind; Italian food is my favorite when eating out, and I'm always disgusted when the show's chefs can't even cook the pasta al dente!

[@richard7756]

You can see just how much gordon cares. He has so much passion for the trade of cooking, I don't know if it's genuine but it feels like it. Like he's pissed but it's an anger that a father has when his kids disappoint him, it's like he expects from you what he himself would do. Nothing less because he wants to be proud of them.

The mother pisses me off the most honestly. Sure, her son is also very annoying, but her??? How can someone be so in denial while literally trying to manipulate everyone around them? You can literally smell her manipulating, seriously. Trying to blame everyone except herself. "HoW ShouLD I HavE KnOWn We'Re SeLLiNg FroZen FoOD". You're the owner, m'am. So it's your kitchen, your freezer etc etc. "BuT I dOn't LikE FroZen FooD", girl. You're literally selling frozen food but think you're not??? Like what. Edit: I don't even understand why he helped them in the end. Was it for the sake of the servers? Because it literally couldn't have been for the owner and her son.

[@enakoracexsofranac4290]

@@Dream146 agree 💯% with you. Just to say "it's my dream" or " I always wanted to own" it's just not enough. Becoming an restaurant owner, just for the sake of being able to tell that you own a restaurant, it's not going to work. Either you have great business ideas and you hire the right people to execute them right, or you are an experienced chef... Otherwise it won't work out! Or you just have enough money, so you don't care if you're going to fail... When you have enough, you paid your staff and just can close the doors . Well usually those people we see here, are already over their head with dept, they aren't starting from scratch, and they need a hell of an accountant to keep everything safe after a change is successful. Because you see all the money coming now in, but it's still not your own, because you have to pay your bills and return ex. the mortgage you took in order to finance "your dream". That's where people usually fail... Either they aren't committed enough or weren't ready for the changes in first place. But there's always the old one "just being lazy"

[@boratsakadiev3968]

I’ve been in the restaurant business for over 17 years. Started as a bar back and worked my way up to director of operations. I can honestly say I have never hired anybody who went to “culinary school”. If an applicant comes in to interview as a cook the minute I see “culinary school” of hear those words interview is over. I would take somebody with no experience cooking over a culinary graduate any day of the week. The minute somebody goes to “culinary school” they automatically know everything and are instantaneously labeled by the school and themselves as a chef or even better “master chef”. Usually they can’t cook and are accompanied by a ridiculous amount of bad habits. Even if they can cook they’ve been taught everything but what working in a real restaurant in reality is. A newbie cook can be trained the way you need them to be and they don’t come with any bad habits and will only acquire them if you make it an option. The ego that comes out of culinary school is so backwards it makes me sick.
