I genuinely think that Alan and Jen didn't deserve that restaurant makeover, they deserve a trip to prison for stealing from their son

[@ellingtonfeint13]

If I were the son, I wouldn't have bothered with the restaurant, I would have sought legal action. If that wouldn't have worked out, I would have gotten involved in the restaurant, only until I would have been able to get my money out.

[@Bzk--]

@@ellingtonfeint13 Sadly legal actions would be pointless in terms of getting the money back since, as far as we know, they already spent all their money and you can't give back what you don't have. It's sort of the same reason people can cycle through credit cards without ever actually paying and can get to insane debt numbers without ever giving it back lol

Chef David was NEVER the problem, he lost it when he couldn't deal with the BS any longer. How can an employer (Gen) be expecting an employee (David) to fail, and trying to sabotage his burger tasting, and expect him not to lose his shit??? I'll gladly hire David in a heartbeat, good luck to him

[@saltoftheegg]

The parents are textbook abusers. They dislike the girlfriend because she gives Danny wacky ideas about making his own decisions and being a free man. They stole his money and gaslight him when he talks about how that was a bad thing to do. The Karen does that thing where you slap someone and they slap you back in response and you act like they broke your arm. They’re both monsters and it’s incredibly unfortunate that they found each other. I hope Danny escaped the cycle.

[@alcidesfy]

True. Not only that but you can see how toxic they were to the entire system. I wonder weather the chef at the start wasn’t 100% a victim although he was lashing out a lot. The whistle blower is an authentic person, and the narc JEN was after him because he would tell her truth to the world : she was a maniac.

[@1mol_wAter]

It is fortunate that they found each other. Otherwise there will be 2 families destroyed instead of 1.

[@BASSER911414]

Don't feel too bad. This episode is staged as fuck. Alan's father, the person he wrote the book about was Abe Saffron, an extremely notorious crime boss. He left a million each to all his children (He had 4 kids apart from Alan) and grandchildren. This is all verifiable and google-able. Some more research shows that Alan and Daniel had actually been planning on opening a burger restaurant for years and had been planning on opening more if the first one went well. It closed in 2011. Alan himself died in 2020.

[@FloatingGoat1]

After this episode the restaurant was open for three more months before being closed down. Daniel stopped speaking to his parents. The head chef that was fired opened his own successful restaurant.

Allan and Gen are incredibly toxic people. They had great staff, a talented chef, a hard working son with a supporting girlfriend and fantastic location. They manage to drag everything through the mud with every single choice until Gordon intervened. Daniel did an amazing job despite them, its satisfying to see how proactive he is when he isn't being micromanaged. Wendy is incredibly supportive and just as hard working. However, Allen and Gen did not deserve the revised restaurant after all they did and I am not fully confident they will not backpedal some time after the show.

[@Queee123]

For real, the fact that she stole the check from the mom because they are gonna use Daniel's money and the way she jumped over to hug him really proves how amazing she is.

[@BadTwin]

Someone asked, "Why doesn't the son sue?". Well according to what I read, the money was put into a trust joint account where the son and father were the beneficiaries and both had access to the funds. So no matter what was said or their previous agreement beforehand. Once it was in that Trust account and an agreement has been sorted with their bank. The Dad has full access to that money. Some banks can be different and have different policies, however, it seems like the Son was lied to, and the Dad had the legal backing to take the money. There was a lawsuit, however, I don't think it went anywhere or was dropped. So it looks like the Father and Wife has got away with it. This is an important lesson to everyone watching and hopefully, people don't make the mistake that the Son did. Losing $250k is something most people will regret....for the parents 500k, their son, and their reputation.

[@HeyhoBrando]

From what I understand the son did sue and what I did hear was the judge told the son because it was ina. Trust account that legally the father had the rights to it, even if 250k was the son, he however ripped the father because he knew that was his son money and took it saying “legally your in the clear, morally your a asshole”

I get this really strong taste, like I dunno what it is but I seem to think it might be Gen who is at the heart of all the problems. The menu, the chef, the dad having conflict with the son and his girlfriend, the yelp reviews. Just go back and watch the two episodes back to back and watch specifically her manipulative behavior and the moments she can be caught laughing or smiling when the others are upset. She watches her husband and son argue over the yelp thing and what does she do? Smile, then get bored, then wake back up and roll her eyes before smiling again when they shout at each other. What does she do when her "burger" that she likes gets a bad Gordon review and the chefs burger gets a good review? Coughs and pretends the flavor is wrong or too strong then fake crying and run out the door rather than continue the conversation about which burger should be on the menu and which should be binned. Sure the Chef was a nutjob, sure the Dad is probably not a great guy but I get this feeling that the issue between the son and father are caused by the mother and when Gordon lays out how he is repeating his own fathers mistakes he recognizes it and instantly wants to repair the relationship. Meanwhile when the sons money that was used without his permission gets brought up and he asks to be listed as a co-owner officially what is her reaction? to smile. The dad is obviously guilty but his reaction isn't to take joy out of that. Sure the son and his girlfriend were dramatic and emotional but put yourself in that position, having a fortune wrapped up in a company you have no control over that you are watching crumble and every time you try and step up your relationship with your parents begins to crumble along with the business and no changes are made because your mother has total control over what goes on the menu apparently, I reckon any of us would be at breaking point. Watch back through both episodes back to back and watch 3 people have genuine reactions and one person manipulate everyone around them while smiling and faking emotional outbursts, the conclusion becomes kind of obvious the more you think about it. Edit: To add the dad seems like a egotist and self obsessed but he also stated he didn't want to be working or running the restaurant, and if the son is looking to take charge you have to ask why he feels forced to do that, is it just his ego or is it his ego being pushed by his wifes manipulation.

Incredible story about Alan's father, Abe Saffron, who was a crime boss in Australia and ran property, prostitution, booze and drug rackets for 40 years, and was eventually jailed for tax evasion in the 80s. All grandkids inherited money from their grandfather including Alan's children (Danny has a sister and a brother). Alan inherited $500,000 but tried to sue for a bigger share of the estate. The claim was $8.6 million from an acclaimed estate of $20m (this was the known amount, but were claims of more 'missing millions'). Abe passed away in 2006; Alan wrote a book about his father's life 'Gentle Satan' in 2008 which claimed that his father bribed top politician and police figures in Sydney, Australia.

I hate this for Danny sooo much, my heart breaks, I remember feeling dreadful years ago when I watched this. $250,000 man! That poor lad, he got stuck in it and still gave it his all, I wish he'd fight them in court, even now, I heard his father passed away, but I don't want this life for him, he should choose his own life 😞I wish Danny and Wendy a great life, hopefully FAR away from that hag Jen.

14:16 When Gordon pulled out the book and started reading about Alan's life, and it basically being in a loop where instead of him being the victim to his Father, he has become his Father, it honestly gave me goosebumps.

Gen is just as despicable as Amy from Amy's Baking Company, but she is never caught red-handed. She blames and scapegoats David, trying to make him the reason why the restaurant is failing. She has the nerve to make herself the victim of the trouble she started when David got fed up with her control.

No Gordon isn't when the shows done he goes home to his big mansion and lives his life regardless of if they fail or not. If they fail they don't get to go to a big mansion that's for sure. He's not in it at all.

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

@@thecommunistdoggo1008 Gordon is an executive producer. It is some of his money that goes into making over some of these shows. Sometimes $75,000 or more is put into the makeovers of some of these places. You need to look at the veins bulging out of Gordon Ramsay's neck in the scene in the restaurant booth , "For the sake of the family, the business. It's so sad to see the family ripped apart, the viciousness. I stayed up until 4 this morning." Gordon was working 5 shows in one year. Gordon went to foreign countries for National Geographic. Gordon doesn't just live his life regardless of if they fail or not. A month later he goes back to reevaluate these places. Years later media scrutinizes what happened to the places and the people he worked on. He does not live his life regardless of if they fail or not. So few viewers realize Gordon Ramsay will be blamed if he sees rotten food stored and going out to customers while he monitors the venue and watches the food go out. Gordon's reputation is on the line that he trained people, producing the result of the venue. Gordon's reputation is on the line. If the food succeeds or fails is attributed to Gordon's intervention. Many times you hear, "Word has gotten out that I'm here and customers have packed the place." I see in a number of these shows Chef Ramsay cleaning the places as in scrubbing the floors and walls. There have to be many days when he is away from his home and family.

14:00 it’s amazing how often abusers simply mimic the abuse they received themselves

[@guitaristkuro8898]

You’d be astounded how far the psychological damage goes. All across the board abuse and trauma does profound things to one’s mental state. What you think is ridiculous is just how the brain appears to cope. A lot of the time it all depends on if the person can be dragged out of that cope early with some sort of therapy, and get away from the abusers. Mental health is (and has been), declining rapidly worldwide. It’s turned into a slippery slope as authority figures encourage the insane, and sadly there is no saving grace such as Gordon for this one.

[@pierrepaul7588]

Alan is a narcissist, my father is one and the similarities is scary. Watching this, seeing Dani break down is bringing back horrible memories and I feel for him so much. Living with a narcissist destroys you mentally and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. If you have one in your entourage my advice to you is to leave them and put as much distance as you can between you and them. They are destructive, careless and they don’t feel empathy so they will hurt an destroy everyone around them without a bit of self doubt.

[@kub8715]

I second this. Both my parents are narcissists. Very recently after a LOOOOONG fucking time of trying, they seem to have come to a realization and are now peaceful. But watching this episode was like reliving my life. Outsiders do NOT understand how fucking stressful and insane and exhausting it is to be constantly bombarded by their bullshit delusions and gaslighting. It's insanely stressful.

My mum is a narcissist, she's so bad that my father committed suicide out of sheer frustration and abuse and depression. She still accepts no responsibility for anything that ever happens. In her mind she is 100% correct all the time and no matter what happens she is 100% the victim. She's so bad I've walked from her and 30 relative's and not seen her for 2 years and never once missed her or felt bad but I think about the torture she put my father all the time, and how he saw no way out from her torture but to commit suicide.

You can tell they inherited money by how spoiled and entitled they act - never had to work for anything and never had to deal with hearing the word “no.” It’s shocking that their son turned out so normal (but then again he had his money get stolen before he could inherit it, so…)
