"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entonight on Kitchen Nightmares Jeff Ramsey heads to Long Beach California to save a 54-year-old family restaurant hello my name's Nino that is under the misguided leadership of the oldest son Nino who refuses to listen to anyone I'm living in a fantasy world I think you're in a fantasy world by the way you act here not his brother stop being angry I'm not being angry just please stand up not his sister you need to be in charge that's not true or even Chef ramsy you just told out like a idiot you sound like a idiot yourself I sound like an idiot his 78-year-old mother is desperate for Nino to step up Nino tells me he has no power CU you won't let him that's not true but when Chef Ramsey points out the problems you are not in a position to take responsibility for anything Nino has an excuse for everything they're freaking Liars find out tonight if Chef Ramsey can get through to the stubborn manager it doesn't even feel like his family run you are being entirely unfair and dishonest and save this feuding family I'm not scared of you you threatening me I'm not a person is scared what do you want to fight from closing the doors of the restaurant for good you could lie about anything don't talk to me like that he's going out the door what is that you sering rotten food we can possibly kill them then wake up you wake up shut the place down get out here that is amazing thank you thank you sir Long Beach California an Oceanside Community located 20 mi south of Los Angeles nestled in the heart of this vibrant city is ninos a family run restaurant opened in 1958 by immigrants Ina and Vincenzo when we got to America Vincenzo wanted to open a restaurant and that was his dream how you doing tonight well yourself welcome from Tor ninos I ran the outside he ran the kitchen it was a lot of work but it was a lot of fun too we had a great time oh I'm glad you enjoyed it my Dad ran a restaurant with an Iron Fist and we were the best that you could be it's hard now because he's 88 he's on the onset of dementia and uh in the last several years has separated himself from the restaurant who's taking table 11 I have no idea do you have table 11 no since my dad retired my brother Nino is supposed to be the restaurant manager all I can say is he's the worst employee here he loves to run up the tables and go hi I'm Nino thanks he owns this place and think it's cuz his name n know however my dad has told him Jack in the Box the owner no be named a jack pick up Table Six please I'm really quite tired I didn't sleep last night terrific thank you Nino works here we pay him but basically he does very little he sits in the office and watches TV if he wouldn't be our son he wouldn't be working here how's table 11 coming along they're almost ready because my brother sits around a lot and doesn't do anything my sister Karina and I have helped throughout the years substantially we found a hair and have food and you bu to put it there no hair I have red dude I don't have any hair n know you're making it worse they're Liars no they're not my brother's 60 years old and he acts like he's 12 that was inappropriate what you just did this is my parents Legacy and he's going to run this restaurant into the ground you're a line sack of I got a brother and sister that they think they got better ideas my brother and sister asked Chef Ramsey to come without consulting me and I have an ill feeling about it we are so forever I mean is see that detached from reality that he doesn't see how much Mom is suffering they're freaking Liars this is a woman who always pays her bills on time and she's having to take money out of the retirement to pay for this restaurant to keep it going I made a promise to my husband Vincenzo that I would keep this restaurant going but some night you have 10 12 people coming that doesn't do it the last thing I want to do is close to do we put a lot of love we put a lot of love in this place I'm at Nino's Italian restaurant which is owned by one family for 54 years and in the restaurant business that is unbelievable sadly things have gone horribly wrong over the last couple of years I'm about to find out why oh my god wow I feel like I'm back in 1958 hello hi how you doing I'm nice to see you my name is in Binger I'm not very Italian no I'm from Germany from Germany my husband is the Italian I see your husband's Nino Nino is actually the son so there's you and your son all running the business and uh Karina and Mike they also my kids and they are here many times and how about your husband he's kind of retired it'd be nice to meet the family can we get every together and have a chat everybody for ketchup is in the bag there's Mike this is the baby right no Karina is the baby hi I'm Karina meet likewise I'm n n good to meet you my wise so you're the oldest yes I am I'm the one that's going to be 60 pretty soon I'd like to catch up with all of you now let's go somewhere a bit quieter my brother Nino tells everybody how hard he works and that he runs this restaurant I I'm sorry Doo he's not going to swallow your BS for 1 second so how good is the food how would you rate it out of 10 Nina 10 a 10 wow yes Karina I would have to rate it as a seven Michael what would you give the food I would give it a eight so the food's good that's great and what's your role I really don't work here all the time I have my own career right as my sister does uh I help out whenever my mom calls I'm Johnny on the spot n know the restaurant's named after to you what's your role the person that always been in charge was my dad and then when when he developed his Alzheimer's I stepped up in this business wow what do you mean I I get here early I I do uh the remal things as janitoral vacuuming cleaning up all these plates and cleaning the restroom scrubbing the toilets washing the patio that's just from 88 until about 4: maybe weekends usually I'll come in for uh extensive cleaning sounds like you do a lot of cleaning cleaning what are you talking about the restaurant is a mess take away the cleaning what else you do Karina um help me out there's no key person there's no one really directing the kitchen on how the portion should be how the quality needs to be consistent you know you need to be working in the kitchen when I worked here and Mike worked here we jumped in the kitchen they don't want me in there who the chefs the chefs they're very adamant about uh keeping that kitchen to themselves it sounds like you put over a barrel now it's like everybody's kind of running the restaurant I thought Nino was running it not really no that's not true but Nino's here Nino isn't here he's here at lunch so he doesn't run dinner are you here for dinner yes I don't understand why you're not here lunch and dinner it's something my mom and I are constantly frustrated with Nino's doing everything half f and so Mike and I have to come in help the family wow I mean doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense irritates the crap out of me he spends a lot of time sitting down with customers I mean not just visiting promoting the business sitting down and talking for long periods of time in the middle of lunch and he's the only restaurant manager I think you'll find anywhere that has lunch at lunchtime he spends a lot of time in the office watching TV this is not even true he's not here he's not here at 8:00 in the morning when I get her why would I come here at 8 in the morning watch TV the television here is 40 years old and I have a high de at home with all the all the channels I need why wouldn't I just stay there I get here tell people you're working because nobody's here so you can say whatever you're doing right stretching the truth it is not my brother never tells the truth coming from a pathological liar I take that as a compliment he thinks I'm I'm some kind of nut because I I I'm in a recovery program do that there nothing to do with that you're just a liar he thinks we're all living in a fantasy world never know I think you're in a fan World by the way you act here my honesty feeling that is he doesn't do crap here he does a lot of s I'm talking he makes everybody believe he does crap just like last night he ran up to every table and said hello my name's Nino that's not true Nino please would you let me talk Mr always was talking I see that all the time and that's why I kind of stay back from here because I love this damn restaurant and to see just being run down drives me freaking crazy to my opinion he doesn't do crap my mom will admit it my dad will admit it my sister will admit it but I will come out and say it passionately doesn't do crap while the family and Nino are in complete disagreement over his Effectiveness as a manager thank you thank you they were all in agreement that the food at Nino's is good how are you hi good how are you yeah nice to see you are those Brothers always butting heads like that are they always arguing yes they are wow um is that a spelling mistake on there egg plant as in two separate words yeah it is shouldn't they be sort of joined yes and I noticed this one as well down here one meat B did they not know they going to be like it's one word meatball honestly and do you know what I'll go for one meatball one eggplant and CH cting okay thank you got it excellent Michael um listen um I I appreciate your honesty and I know it's hard but I feel like someone's blown smoke on my ass my brother's full of I'd be surprised if he worked two hours a day and that I that's pushing it would you not feel guilty your mom working twice as hard as you yeah be day and night I'm saying why is he not here helping her he doesn't have another job he complains about not having money not taking a vacation either come here at night or get another job sure right no you okay yeah I'm okay I'm okay Garden you sure I just ask before you make any judgments I'm not making any judgments on you at all I'm I'm I'm I'm listening nobody's here at 8:00 in the morning when I'm here and and and there is there is a job that's endeavor I mean all the way you know and I I get back behind here you know I get underneath there I get the plates I get up there and it doesn't take that long it it takes about an hour or so and then I I doing the prep work it just what is that it's just stuck to my jeans oh my gosh do have a look at that under there oh my gosh how many bits of gum of there there is four pieces of gum so do this cleaning I haven't looked down there I don't think you should do that during the business hours in front of customers what time you like me to do it uh come here at 8: in the morning with me yeah shouldn't you do it tomorrow morning and I wouldn't do that in your restaurant either you wouldn't find gum under my tables Neo is a ball of excuses he's just wacko God this full of cobwebs flaty hell didn't get to that one bloody hell definitely didn't get to that one every else was done right y right have you seen the size of that cobweb there have you seen that that's dust that now that's the cobweb didn't see it without the lighting really yeah oh God how often did you clean every day I you know this is something that that takes a lot of consideration I I you know you can be on this here for months I start at one end and then finish at the other in and then I come back on this one oh God this is the 8 in the morning effect 5 days a week for yours bloody hell is there a bathroom anyby just we wash my hands yes sir he should have shut up about cleaning I don't know what he's cleaning but I wouldn't hire him at my house I promise you that oh what are the pictures of these are me cleaning and pulling down all the all the bottles every single bottle I I've never never seen pictures of cleaning there a first for me well that's because my brother's always questioning that I do it I don't know in the first place why he took pictures if it's clean you don't have to prove it as pictures you see it right this is a chicken Bata it's a lemon with capers and mushrooms thank you you're welcome how do you like this one Dreadful no chicken's old flowery slimy okay come over Nina so I just had to Megan that's just if you just touch touch that it's all I'm not going to touch it with my finger what I'm trying to say it's all soggy and flowy so it's I mean I'll do something like that in the kitchen but not in the dining area that wouldn't be appropriate I wouldn't touch food listen listen you sit me on a table full of gum I've got cobwebs coming out my earlobes and now I'm asking you to touch something flowery and you say I wouldn't do this in the dining room all of a sudden you've got this level of concern yes I do because food right there and and you want me to touch it this is food that you've given 10 out of 10 what am I supposed to what am I supposed to do I want you to be honest with yourself and start around and not around ready then get real the chicken is slimy and furry it's got raw flare on the outside you're refusing to accept it cuz you're in the land of not Chef ramser sounding like an ass too much flour and it has no flavor and it's a very delicate chicken and it's delicious he said the Pato was disgusting this guy is disgusting oh and that's my one meatball this is your one meatball Mak s thank you that taste 54 years old mush disgusting and just Dreadful n come over you rated the food on a 10 so far what I've tasted I'm embarrassed that's too bad the meatball soggy Bland and just hideous with a salty Marin our sauce a matter of taste say that again it's a matter of taste that's not a matter of taste when was that made two days ago really I saw him make it right can you have a word with the chef I know you're scared of them but ask him I'm not scared of them and I'm not scared of you what's that supposed to mean you threatening me I'm not a I'm not a person that's scared so don't use that word please I ask you to step up take some form of responsibility and go in there and ask him so are you going to let me continue eat or do you want to what do you want to fight like confrontation we're talking about something physical now can you can you leave me alone let me finish my lunch yes I will and if you find the balls to go and ask your Chef when he made the meatballs it' be greatly appreciative by the way there's dirtty bottles above the fish tank wow Valentina when did you make those meatballs that's that's unbelievable Friday I find that hard to believe cuz today is Tuesday that couldn't be that couldn't possibly be thank you this is the uh this is the egg wow thank you very much girl he made them this weekend on Friday he made them on Friday yes he did and today's Tuesday yes it is Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday unbelievable we've been selling this sauce for 54 years yeah and and we couldn't possibly have this restaurant and have all the success if we didn't make a good sauce and a good meat you are in denial no I'm not bullshitting me and blowing smoke at my ass telling me working there 8 hours a day cleaning telling me that food is great people love it I am myself you need to wear diapers the you shouldn't be on yourself are you okay yeah I'm fine you just trying to act like a idiot to make yourself sound better I'm not a idiot well then stop sounding like one you sound like a idiot yourself I sound like an idiot you use the word so I brought it back to you I think that's that's we need to Cal down unbelievable now I know the problem in this restaurant yeah I'm staring at and I'm staring at it as well be honest I really don't know what's in Nino's head are we done it's almost like he's completely mentally unstable I'd like to have a quick catch up with you Mom Karina and your brother okay Let's uh let's go next door um I'm lost for words honestly I'm depressed dish after dish was a disappointment and then you rate the food 10 out of 10 perfect it's the best time food I've ever had I have a lot of friends that come here and eat your circle of friends isn't keeping the business afloat let's get that right and let me tell you something the chicken Patti chicken was furry and slimy the meatball we discovered was made five freaking days ago but for some bizarre reason you're convincing yourself that everything's fine what you have proven to me is that you are not in a position to take responsibility for anything except cleaning for the first 40 minutes of meeting you all you told me about was the cleaning you're in denial you're refusing to listen to the the negative feedback regarding the food and yet you've got pictures of yourself cleaning the place hello I didn't take those pictures you are happy to show them to me well you you you're indicating that I don't do anything cleaning is basic like drinking water and breathing air and that is not management Nina there's the lady there that's got all the weight on her shoulders and I don't know when you're thinking of getting responsible but let me give you something some piece of advice hurry up will you um I'm just saddened I think really because it doesn't even feel like it's family run um I'm going to go for a walk I'm sorry I really got the sense that he came in here and I'm his Target he's 100% right you're the biggest problem here and if Mom could initiate your early retirement would be the best thing okay you are being entirely unfair and dishonest about this I can't stand seeing this place run like crap this fighting has to stop okay well then I can't come because I can't stand watching it maybe you're taking Nerf pills or something I don't know I can't take it I don't take Nerf pills okay but I can't take it why are you yelling at your mother because you're saying the fighting like like I come in here just to fight no I come in here you to fighting you need to talk yes so maybe we stop saying the word f just a cple cats and dogs that's what it sounds like to MEF he said this is not a family and I know it's not a family okay Chef Ramsey has quickly identified the two biggest problems of the restaurant Nino and the food but he's about to learn a whole lot more as he watches how this kitchen functions during a dinner service what uh what is that lasagna that's lasna well that's a lasagna and I'm the pope Jesus when was it made last Friday no last Friday wow it's really weird very weird indeed oh man what is that is this chicken I thought it was lar it's not as chicken wow it's all dry bloody H can you get me Nina please Nina that's chicken yeah have a little taste all right all right right it's dry Bland and it's just been reheated now for your past editions yeah sure I like the taste that is not the way to cook right I believe Chef Ramsey may have exaggerated it almost sounded like it was unsalvageable throw that away please I don't even want that save for a dog okay you have the CIF for pancakes this is yours as the dishes leave the kitchen reasonable quick complaints from customers are almost immediate look at this though like this is supposed to be the breing I think this is no good look at that go yeah I think I'm going to send this let me sorry for the way too much grease oh no what's wrong with that oh Jesus Christ you are kidding me what is that come on guys this is an example of Nino not knowing how to manage this restaurant he should be in the kitchens making sure that our food quality is consistent okay where's Nino help me the kitchen that's what you need to do I haven't eaten anything all day are you kidding me he was eating with my mom and dad out front we should be working but if he had the initiative the assertiveness to take over we wouldn't be in the situation okay so Nino just continually stands there and that's the frustrating thing right now cuz I look and he's like in my right her fill at all times and you got your poor 78-year-old mother standing out the front Clinging On at a mess in here oh mushrooms and my God are they the meat balls yeah when are they from uh Friday Friday these are from Friday as well mhm look at it how old is that to go that color I have a feeling if I ask somebody they'd say no doubt from Friday when was it made how old is that it's uh from Friday Friday again busy day Friday have you seen inside your Refrigeration yes absolutely we actually do a full full thorough cleaning every night have you got 2 minutes yes sir just look down there the back there yeah there's some product on the ground uh some what on the ground mushrooms yeah there is and if you any idea this is this is here this is just left there my God what's that it's pepper you've been serving this all night it's not even scaled you're the man that gave me 10 out of 10 come on then right I don't know what to say while Nino says he takes great pride in the cleanliness of the restaurant what's this Chef Ramsey discovers another horror story in the walk-in that is red how long does a red pepper take before it goes that rotten just smell that it can go fast it can what it can go faster than you expect how would you feel if your customers saw that that's what I'm trying to say to you all right that I mean I'm sorry it's there but we wouldn't take that and and serve it to somebody no but what I'm trying to say is that signifies how this whole business is run I'll give them on that refrigerator I'm horribly disappointed about it but uh it's impossible to do everything properly you're not doing your job to the best of the ability that's necessary to run this business if you want to say that that's I'm I'm sure that's your It's Not My Prerogative I'm watching it I'm watching you doing it by the minute I I don't have the authority to assert myself and when I ask you do know you do you just never have your mom wants you to step up I'm so confused she wants you to do it uh you're nearly 60 is that true what you just told me he has no power cuz you won't let him that's not true that's not the way it is Nino why do you tell stories like that how many times have I gone in there and tried to to to assert myself when is it two or three years ago I had to go in the hospital you were completely out drunk I I had a relapse and ended up in the hospital what I saw was so disgusting I had to hold them down in emergency room you know they had to put him in in restraints and I made a bad decision she still has a resentment about it and I don't know what I can do about it do me a favor I need to spend two minutes with your mother now all right yeah I feel for you I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm sorry I didn't realize mhm he almost died I'm sorry yeah are you holding against him or is it down to the actual work and commitment I think it's the work and commitment is he lazy what is it yeah I am here to help you you must understand that yeah yeah can we meet first thing tomorrow morning mhm thank you thank you as Chef Ramsey has made a commitment to Inga to help save the restaurant good morning my D good morning he knows his next step is to make sure that nino is committed to changing his ways so this morning he FS Ina in on his plan right now Nino thinks every day that this rest is not going to close cuz you're going to continue funding it mhm if he starts to understand that you've had enough that may wake this guy up mhm so here's the plan I'm going to board up the whole front of this restaurant so it looks like the business is closed I'll be hiding around the corner I'll be around there and I want to hear what he has to say to his mother when you say I'm shutting it down it's about him showing you hunger what he can do that he can do it exactly that you with me yeah perfect hi Mom what's going on I talked to Gordon this morning and I decided to close that business I cannot do it anymore it doesn't work is that what you think yeah all right fine Jesus Christ is that all you have to say well Mom it's your restaurant you're the one that has a decision on this but I think we should still keep it open that's my personal opinion I I I don't want to give up I know we can hold out and do it I cannot put anyone my money in this place I'm willing to fight to keep this restaurant open do you have some suggestion how we can do that we have an expert in the restaurant business we can ask him you really want to do it yes absolutely hey Chef Ramsey hi how you doing so 54 years in the making mhm and the business is on the brink of closure you're part of that failure do you understand what that means yes I do it's got to come from you Nino I'm willing to commit take control Nino I shall no more excuses just be on top of everything I'm Willie mom the business is going to have to become a new priority number one number one at this point I believe Nino really wants to turn his life around and he wants to do what's best for the restaurant and the family while Nino says he committed to change how don't jef Ramsey feels it's important that he shares this news with his brother and his sister okay the lack of commitment with Nino has been going on for far too long and your mother stepped up and told him I've had enough and Nino to his credit turned around and said Mom I want to do this I'm committed yes I don't believe that you know you've been in denial for a long time what your responsibilities have been you made so many promises to all of us over your life and this time you need to be in charge he's committed to that this morning and this is the new Nina maybe for 3 4 weeks but then he'll revert back to the old Nino I I'm asking let's get out of the past what is it we can do from this point to move forward and treat each other with decency and walk away shaking each other's hands okay no more excuses no more denial I need you to be the big brother that you're supposed to be to this family I'm going to be much more focused on doing things that make the business more successful and and that's the truth Michael let's go for it thank you I am willing to give Nino another chance for God's sake he's my brother I believe he can change but I'm not going to make any bets on it now that nino was willing to take the Reigns and the family is ready to move forward Chef Ramsey gives this restaurant its first facelift in over half a

yourselves will you please and look after each other good night good night good night thank you so much bye Mom thank you by good night when this restaurant started there's no internet man had not landed on the moon and there's no such thing as a color TV but there was ninos and the only way this R can continue is if the family put the past behind them I'm not sure if they can but I'm really hoping they can do so wow Nino he can clean and take photographs as well in the weeks that followed although Michael distanced himself from the restaurant the rest of the family has stepped up fire up nine yeah and seven and the fireplace Nino was working harder and is taking on more responsibilities but the task of running the business on a day-to-day basis still falls on ena's shoulders you enjoy the pizza yes oh great and despite her full-time job I do want us to just all work together Karina has increased her Presence at Nino's and hopes that the 54-year-old family restaurant will live on as a legacy for generations to come tonight on Kitchen Nightmares Chef Ramsey Mak his first visit to Seattle Washington am I seeing things but he doesn't exactly get look look in there a warm welcome what a disaster Chef Ramsey is in for a major challenge with a defiant owner I'm not a man that backs down who refuses to listen to anyone I've never seen this before get out of my kitchen even his own family stop the excuses let's just go forward it was fresh doing that day really while they constantly blame each other for the restaurant's problems they don't Focus I'm here every day the standards of plummeted you shouldn't be anywhere near food and despite wife Karen seeing all of the problems a lot of our fixes seem to be pretty simplistic husband Peter seems blind to it all I don't have the change they have to change the attitude get ready for an emotional roller coaster as Chef ramsy attempts to prevent an old school owner live my window now from destroying his restaurant and his relationship with his family as well I'm done then we'll go down in the Flames what is that you serving rotten food we can possibly kill them they wake up you wake up shut the place down get out of here that is amazing thank thank you Seattle Washington known for its great coffee and Superior produce just north of the city lies the upand cominging neighborhood of finny Ridge home to Yan's Greek restaurant run by Peter auso and his family my Dad decided that we should open our own restaurant in 1984 and in 2007 my dad passed me the torch gave me the kiss to the restaurant there what do you need I need another sagaki when we first opened business was a success open but now now it seems like this neighborhood is changing are we open yet and um now people just don't seem to be coming to yanning anymore I don't know guys I don't know my husband was stuck in the past neighborhood's different it's not a neighborhood that's different it's the attitudes are different and he doesn't listen to any of us the Melana dinner High potatoes written here potato don't tell me that next time okay you you just spoil the only thing he does yell where's my plates I need plates to check it before you serve it my dad is an absolute control freak yo yo oh and sometimes I can't take his derogatory tone Elise let's get going what are you guys in the guidelines my daughter Elise is kind of like her dad that's ridiculous she doesn't take criticism well I don't think the man likes garc well tell him to get the out of a Greek restaurant and I think that that's why her and her dad have problems because they have that same personality back why are you crying again teria she can cry in an instant stop crying she's known for being very emotional what now there was too much cinnamon there is nothing she won't cry about now what everything was too garlicky more food I really can't do okay stop it sorry there's so many things wrong with this restaurant but the main problem Peter doesn't change you know a lot of our fixes seem to be really pretty simplistic excuse me got the crap I don't have to change they have to change their attitude I see things more than you think I just can't fix everything things have' gotten so bad that we don't have medical insurance we can't pay our bills on time the mortgage is always late we've hit rock bottom of course it's raining in Seattle before Chef Ramsey heads to the restaurant owner Peter has requested some time alone with him hello how are you sir Chef Ram me out here good to see you at where else in Seattle but a coffee shop tell me how it started tell me back to the beginning we opened 1984 and it was just me and my dad and it was uh very good making money making good money yes and then uh 2007 my Dad decided that you know it's time for me to pull back you took over yeah you know he gave me the torch and uh unfortunately uh our neighborhood have changed a new Young Generation moved in y and I think they're afraid to give us a try right you know not good how much money are you losing between uh 8 and 10,000 month yeah how are you surviving I mean do you have money put away we cut down staff and everything else you know so my wife has to take over the dining room plus my two daughters work in the restaurants what do they do the one that works in the kitchen with me is Alise Elise and then the other one is server Tria Tria how hands on are you uh full hands they gave some responsibilities to my wife but I still feel that I have to look over everybody what's the problem when it comes to business I don't think they're Focus right you know so the devotion is not there devotion yeah do they listen to you uh no not really but what are you like as a boss I'm not uh strong enough I think you're not strong enough yeah I give in wow it sounds like all the pressure are on your shoulders I mean that's it is on my shoulders so what's right with the restrooms well I think we have good product so the food's good how would you wrate that out of 10 if not 10 nine oh wow that's good nine out of 10 that's amazing I'm going to finish up my coffee thank you for being open and honest I'll see you back at the rest thank you very much oh hello Hi how are we I'm very well welcome to Yan thank you good to see oh nice to meet you nice to meet you who's here he's here yeah no way this is tiia my eldest daughter hi nice to meet you tiia wow wow wow and this is little sis right Elise Elise nice to see you nice to meet you please take a seat I'm really excited to see Chef Amy and for him to tell my father you're not only taking your restaurant down but you're bringing your family down with you what I'd like to do is get your perspective and little insights to yannies you know there's no no fun anymore you know there's no frills um things are tight very tight you okay yeah why you upset Tera she's very emotional oh really I'm sorry it's tough to see my parents struggle when they put so much effort and to know that we're struggling just to barely make ends me it's hard I'm sure it's very hard well how long has it been that bad you know couple years couple years we're trying to figure out what what we can do it's definitely outdated the food is outdated the decor the some of the food is outdated though too some of the food could definitely be presented differently why hasn't it changed I think um my husband's very stubborn is that stubborn yes very very why though he can't just do it have you imagined to him have you all the time fights many fights all the time many fights it's it's virtually impossible but he told me he gives in and allows you to do what you want and he's too easy on you guys too easy you know too lacks no no no never he's not laid back no never but he raised the food 9 out of 10 um he thinks the family are not pulling their weight he's concerned whether his daughters are in or out it's hard to be in when you can't have the full support that you deserve or when he never listens to anything you have to say he said the opposite in terms he gives Bullit he is not that's untrue that's true yes absolutely it doesn't make sense I don't know who you met this morning yeah let me go and get Peter my husband is in total denial of the real issues and why the restaurant is failing I need to get to the bottom of this I mean you know you're telling me one side the fact that they don't do enough then telling me they're scared to step up and change cuz you won't allow change I'm always the the the bad guy because I want things to get done right you just said to me an hour ago either relax guy you're the one that gives in but see when I when I raise my voice I'm a bad guy but it's what comes out of your mouth problem how to speak to people correctly because they're not committed they don't focus on the job is that the only problem you have with us no I want you to be a leader here in this din room it's really hard to be a leader when I am a waitress I don't give a I want things done in the dining room like they're supposed to be and I don't think this gets done they're not servers from the neighborhood they're your daughters they're here to do a job this is a job this is my income do you want them out no I want them to step up I can't do everything anymore we're right here you know I I can't do everything every day we've all said we want to be here we're the ones asking for change what's the change Decor everything the whole restaurant move forward throw away the menu start fres simp that's the only thing I mean I don't understand why it's such a hard step you know it's hard for me to just give up this place we not asking you to give up we're just asking to change change I couldn't within minutes of his arrival Chef Ramsey was struck with the negative ity within the family thank you now he's hoping that he can find something positive in the food that's not all the menu surely to hell it's a Bible it's an encyclopedia five six pages of menu 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine specials I have told my father to change the menu many many times how'd you remember all these and most of this hasn't changed wow do I do I do my father is very stubborn and he needs an English men to give him a good hit in the ass um am I seeing things pumpkin humus pumpkin humus come on stop yeah I have been to thousands of restaurants I have never ever seen a pumpkin humus there not even Halloween I'm going have to try it okay after that how can I not take masaka if I'm in Greek restaurant okay and the house J okay thank you D pumpkin hummus this is is order pumpkin hummus side house hero and a side Musa car whatever that Chef wants The Deco is hideous it does feel like you're back in the 80s that's ceing honestly it's like a kid's bedroom wow pumpkin humus pus coming up here's your humus don't make it too oily wow look at this baby then whose recipe is this this is Peter's right could you join me see that does not make sense I don't like the combination and the garlic in there well garlic is a lot oh my God Garlic's a lot our humus is really really garlicky wow you want me to take that back oh yes is a great shame thank you man but one thing for sure let's get that right there will never be a problem with vampires here let me tell you I mean that is hideous not a fan of the pumpkin hummus and he says it was really too garlicky I don't put much garlic people complain there's not enough garlic I put little extra garlic it's too much garlic like what there's no win situation why are you crying I don't know Pi your head up pull yourself together I'm giving him the Musa CL there are some things on the menu that I beg my dad to get off because I don't personally like them but there's a lot of things on our menu that I think are the best like the musaka I would say that's a 10 out of 10 wow look at this baby musaka lovely look at that and that's uh freshly baked uh in the oven yes nice thank you you're welcome nice pretty weird the meat is very sweet and yet the eggplant is very bitter the eggplant is undercooked it's picking it apart grey as anything at the bottom a huge pool of Grease I love masaka but that is Miles off musaka musaka Karen um it was just so greasy so that is a big let down yes I'll let Elise know she'll be disappointed no it's disappointed to me wow wow wow any more bad news okay oh my God Musa C too oily doesn't like it I can't make a marinado without oil few things the musaka is greasy come on that's ridiculous I think sometimes a sauce so the red sauce is a little greasy I mean you can see the oil you want to go s with him you want to go s with him and chitchat how to criticize my food get out of my kitchen just please please I don't need your criticism out of the kitchen nice nice nice nice right now I'm just pissed what now everything you know it's outdated it's oily it sucks stop crying crying I need a house hero all aart I got it I want to go okay okay so the house hero mhm thank you you're welcome Tria yes chef you okay mhm yeah you sure mhm come on oh God she's crying over there it's tough I know it's tough I'm sorry trust me the only thing so far has got a 9 out of 10 is the Peter Bread foods miles away as well as it may hurt I am so sorry but I'm only here for one reason and that's to get this place fixed I know I apprciate okay I hope you enjoy this one so I thank you what is in there come on seriously it looks like a plate full of puke look at it what a mess Karen 2 seconds um all that sauce on there that's not normal oh yes yes really yeah when was the last time you tasted this um i' I've had it I don't really like it you walk through the door and you see the decor dated I didn't think the food would be Beyond dated all right I'll take it back thank you you're welcome he says our food is dated the decor is dated our food is dated what the hell does it mean dated old school cooking Peter dated amazing It's amazing like anything oh my god oh mean doesn't like nothing the pedo was good how about mus potatoes does he like that no they'd be too salty this is going to be the longest night of my life Peter needs to hear these things because the restaurant needs to change you ask him to come out sure please maybe Chef can get through to him because we can listen you told me when we first met that your food was 9 hour hotel I think so Peter but this is the authentic food authentic food let me tell you that is not authentic Greek food pumpkin humus hideous there's some things that work with pumpkin humus is not one of them and the gyro whose idea was it to mate everything with the sauce on there what is that it's something we've had for years it's like a leiter of sauce I mean you say it was bad I don't think it's bad yeah okay masaka I mean so sweet greasy eggplant undercooked so I had that bitter aftertaste the eggplant at the bottom undercooked when it's completely white in the center it's not cooked long enough I disagree if it's not white and you're talking you want it black you want it burnt I'm not asking you to take it personally take it professionally you can give me attitude do whatever you want I don't have an attitude but if you want me to come in and blow smoke up your ass and tell you it's Del yeah I'm not the one Peter have you not thought about changing stuff these are foods I grew up with what am I supposed to change you've got to take your head out the clouds and get into the 21st century I mean you don't even realize how much damage you're causing yourself and your family it's got to stop I need some fresh air I I hry back for service I want to see how this place functions I don't think it can be as depressing a wi just experience I still taste that garlic that was embarrassing I'm not going to crumble because one person says that our food is cro shut up I'm not even talking to you stop crying you're just afraid to get rid of the old menu what do you do with a customers that drive all their way to come here and enjoy something that they've had for the last 30 years old ways are not working if you're going to survive you have to change Can't Let Go something I mean we've invested everything into this place I'm not willing to throw it away because you can't change a menu up Corner move move move it's dinner service at Johnny's and while Chef Ramsey knows there are real issues with the food Elise you guys supposed to call me the I haven't even looked at the new tickets yet I'm this is the two P tonight's main focus will be on how the kitchen operates Elise this going to burn then I'll

that okay well hello look at the refrigerator I mean why do we keep stuff that needs to be thrown away I don't know it needs to be thrown away but I'm not the only responsible one I've never seen this before every fridge is full of fresh stuff and old stuff unfortunately the old stuff's tained the fresh stuff so what you think is fresh is no longer fresh and those poor out there are eating this okay no you can't I'm not going to let you cook anymore yeah the strong right you want to continue cooking you think it's funny do you no Elise if anyone can walk past rotten food in a fridge and continue cooking fresh you shouldn't be anywhere near food and then when I hear oh I've never seen that before then open your eyes just don't believe this you know what happens to check things I don't know what happened what the is this do you guys like this to drink it don't leave that is in there for so long look look in there that's embarrassing but we don't use it I can't keep up with everything I babysit you like kids and you still me I don't need the babysit if I want a baby seit I go Babys seit my granddaughter she's more fun than you guys what is this Chef Ramsay's inspection led to some shocking disgusting discoveries every fridge is full of fresh St and old stuff and Peter is pointing the finger at everyone else look look in there I've babysit you like kids and you still me if I want a babysit I go babysit my granddaughter she's more fun than you guys that's just like my father you know pushing the blame onto everybody else and not taking responsibility it's frustrating I'm sorry I I just want to know are our tables getting our food there's no food toia tell people real story whatever they had is free I'm really sorry just close the line down man I don't give a what you guys do we need to shut down the restaurant why we need to shut down the restaurant no one's getting food comp them for whatever else they've had okay just tell tell them that we're done so I'm sorry but you guys are getting your food we're having some problems in the kitchen and you know we hope that you'll come back again drinks are on the house thank you for trying us and have a good night this is not fair I've never seen food like that oh my God you know what there's no explanation for all that the refrigerator I always still this guys okay you know what though you know how about a system a system has be on top of no you just need to have them have a system you know how many times I have to babysit really you know what your problem is you want to be a babysitter you don't want to let them have control of things okay then fire them things should be labeled things should be dated things should I mean we it's basic basic last night Chef Ramsey was disgusted and disappointed in the mess he uncovered in the kitchen today he is hoping that Peter and Elise are no longer in denial good morning come through please come over let's sit down over here right how are we feeling a little shaky a little shaky yes sir you know with the events that happened last night uh I think we're all embarrassed uh we're here to listen to you to show us a new way to do things but at the same time I cannot let go some of the things that happened last night like what give me an example the refrigerator back there wasn't as bad as I made out yes what I saw last night was disgusting your refrigeration unit was one of the most disgusting fridges I've ever seen you are the owner and it's about time that you sir start taking responsibility for what you're running we are about fresh food and I'm not going to serve my customers any spoiled food if I know it's spoil never the food that we served last night it was fresh yesterday morning I made this food so you cannot tell me that was sitting in the goddamn refrigerator and collecting mold and all that we don't leave things like that alone so you clearly don't know about the spoiled food in the fridge then do you think I'm going to serve that why is it there my employees are not as stupid to do that oh really and we get it and I she just sat there like nothing's wrong I never said nothing is wrong I said I would never serve that I no but it's our fault and we make up all these excuses stop the excuses let's just go forward yesterday was a disaster disaster so can we put that in the past and just walk forward Serv to these people yesterday last night it was fresh to the day so you can tell me that let's get real shall we because if you're not going to listen and you're not going to take responsibility I'm done oh God I'm out of there with Peter refusing to really comprehend the problems of the restaurant the food that I serve to these people yesterday last night it was fresh to the day Chef Ramsey is wondering why he should continue to stay I'm done oh God last night I think that it was reality in our face we have dropped the ball this is not what we are not what we are but it's our fault we we can't blame anyone it's our fault we let it happen we need to step up and take back the restaurant are you willing to work with us Chef Ramsey I mean do you think that we're savable I'm trying to but when you can't accept the real problems there's no chance I need help for improvement help us show us the way please we love this place we live for this place my life life is this place I haven't given up but my focus has been gone I need your help to put me back to where I was before I think we need to not go back to how we were when we were successful we need to move forward and reinvent it yeah you're right Peter you got to let go of the past you've got to change even though change is scary you need to you need to change we have to change our ways yanis cannot succeed like that anymore it cannot stay open like that anymore and this is my reality check and Peter here's another thing what I saw last night wasn't pretty Peter Mew was so negative and if at least is determined to be in the kitchen you have to nurture her and support her did you ever tell her she does a good job yeah never no it shows I mean I'm sorry if I yell at you guys before you know maybe with no reason and stuff but the pressure was on and well I guess I didn't know how to relieve the pressure or how to fix the pressure you at the end of the night when it's all said and done well instead of calling a Chef Ramsey in here to make you say it you can say it once in a while well like I said things are going to change good it will change you know do you mean that I do 100% I'm not a man that backs down I'm not an igom Maniac but I have a pride we're moving forward moving forward I really hope that he's willing to change not only our relationship but everything it's long overdue now that Peter appears to be open-minded Chef Ramsey has an assignment for the family modifying the major thing that Peter has been most stubborn about book for you a novel for you an encyclopedia for you and you and I going to share the menu look at each and every page together and throw out what's not selling get ready to cut out a lot I'll be back in 5 minutes okay okay fed on olives no that's must suis no chicken scatas out no that's not out seriously eat chicken dishes people come in here they're used to this menu and and like new people are going to come I don't want to lose this menu new people are going to come no we're changing I mean this is your time to change it's like walk away from the menu take it out how many items is it to begin with too many oh my God I they realiz so many I've had this menu for 28 years but I think it's time for me to listen to others leave my ego out the door 55 it menu I never I just that's the only way for this restaurant succeed okay we have

restaurant hello my name's Nino that is under the misguided leadership of the oldest son Nino who refuses to listen to anyone I'm living in a fantasy world I think you're in a fantasy world by the way you act here not his brother stop being angry I'm not being angry just please stand up not his sister you need to be in charge that's not true or even Chef ramsy you just told out like a idiot you sound like a idiot yourself I sound like an idiot his 78-year-old mother is desperate for Nino to step up Nino tells me he has no power CU you won't let him that's not true but when Chef Ramsey points out the problems you are not in a position to take responsibility for anything Nino has an excuse for everything they're freaking Liars find out tonight if Chef Ramsey can get through to the stubborn manager it doesn't even feel like his family run you are being entirely unfair and dishonest and save this feuding family I'm not scared of you you threatening me I'm not a person is scared what do you want to fight from closing the doors of the restaurant for good you could lie about anything don't talk to me like that he's going out the door what is that you sering rotten food we can possibly kill them then wake up you wake up shut the place down get out here that is amazing thank you thank you sir Long Beach California an Oceanside Community located 20 mi south of Los Angeles nestled in the heart of this vibrant city is ninos a family run restaurant opened in 1958 by immigrants Ina and Vincenzo when we got to America Vincenzo wanted to open a restaurant and that was his dream how you doing tonight well yourself welcome from Tor ninos I ran the outside he ran the kitchen it was a lot of work but it was a lot of fun too we had a great time oh I'm glad you enjoyed it my Dad ran a restaurant with an Iron Fist and we were the best that you could be it's hard now because he's 88 he's on the onset of dementia and uh in the last several years has separated himself from the restaurant who's taking table 11 I have no idea do you have table 11 no since my dad retired my brother Nino is supposed to be the restaurant manager all I can say is he's the worst employee here he loves to run up the tables and go hi I'm Nino thanks he owns this place and think it's cuz his name n know however my dad has told him Jack in the Box the owner no be named a jack pick up Table Six please I'm really quite tired I didn't sleep last night terrific thank you Nino works here we pay him but basically he does very little he sits in the office and watches TV if he wouldn't be our son he wouldn't be working here how's table 11 coming along they're almost ready because my brother sits around a lot and doesn't do anything my sister Karina and I have helped throughout the years substantially we found a hair and have food and you bu to put it there no hair I have red dude I don't have any hair n know you're making it worse they're Liars no they're not my brother's 60 years old and he acts like he's 12 that was inappropriate what you just did this is my parents Legacy and he's going to run this restaurant into the ground you're a line sack of I got a brother and sister that they think they got better ideas my brother and sister asked Chef Ramsey to come without consulting me and I have an ill feeling about it we are so forever I mean is see that detached from reality that he doesn't see how much Mom is suffering they're freaking Liars this is a woman who always pays her bills on time and she's having to take money out of the retirement to pay for this restaurant to keep it going I made a promise to my husband Vincenzo that I would keep this restaurant going but some night you have 10 12 people coming that doesn't do it the last thing I want to do is close to do we put a lot of love we put a lot of love in this place I'm at Nino's Italian restaurant which is owned by one family for 54 years and in the restaurant business that is unbelievable sadly things have gone horribly wrong over the last couple of years I'm about to find out why oh my god wow I feel like I'm back in 1958 hello hi how you doing I'm nice to see you my name is in Binger I'm not very Italian no I'm from Germany from Germany my husband is the Italian I see your husband's Nino Nino is actually the son so there's you and your son all running the business and uh Karina and Mike they also my kids and they are here many times and how about your husband he's kind of retired it'd be nice to meet the family can we get every together and have a chat everybody for ketchup is in the bag there's Mike this is the baby right no Karina is the baby hi I'm Karina meet likewise I'm n n good to meet you my wise so you're the oldest yes I am I'm the one that's going to be 60 pretty soon I'd like to catch up with all of you now let's go somewhere a bit quieter my brother Nino tells everybody how hard he works and that he runs this restaurant I I'm sorry Doo he's not going to swallow your BS for 1 second so how good is the food how would you rate it out of 10 Nina 10 a 10 wow yes Karina I would have to rate it as a seven Michael what would you give the food I would give it a eight so the food's good that's great and what's your role I really don't work here all the time I have my own career right as my sister does uh I help out whenever my mom calls I'm Johnny on the spot n know the restaurant's named after to you what's your role the person that always been in charge was my dad and then when when he developed his Alzheimer's I stepped up in this business wow what do you mean I I get here early I I do uh the remal things as janitoral vacuuming cleaning up all these plates and cleaning the restroom scrubbing the toilets washing the patio that's just from 88 until about 4: maybe weekends usually I'll come in for uh extensive cleaning sounds like you do a lot of cleaning cleaning what are you talking about the restaurant is a mess take away the cleaning what else you do Karina um help me out there's no key person there's no one really directing the kitchen on how the portion should be how the quality needs to be consistent you know you need to be working in the kitchen when I worked here and Mike worked here we jumped in the kitchen they don't want me in there who the chefs the chefs they're very adamant about uh keeping that kitchen to themselves it sounds like you put over a barrel now it's like everybody's kind of running the restaurant I thought Nino was running it not really no that's not true but Nino's here Nino isn't here he's here at lunch so he doesn't run dinner are you here for dinner yes I don't understand why you're not here lunch and dinner it's something my mom and I are constantly frustrated with Nino's doing everything half f and so Mike and I have to come in help the family wow I mean doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense irritates the crap out of me he spends a lot of time sitting down with customers I mean not just visiting promoting the business sitting down and talking for long periods of time in the middle of lunch and he's the only restaurant manager I think you'll find anywhere that has lunch at lunchtime he spends a lot of time in the office watching TV this is not even true he's not here he's not here at 8:00 in the morning when I get her why would I come here at 8 in the morning watch TV the television here is 40 years old and I have a high de at home with all the all the channels I need why wouldn't I just stay there I get here tell people you're working because nobody's here so you can say whatever you're doing right stretching the truth it is not my brother never tells the truth coming from a pathological liar I take that as a compliment he thinks I'm I'm some kind of nut because I I I'm in a recovery program do that there nothing to do with that you're just a liar he thinks we're all living in a fantasy world never know I think you're in a fan World by the way you act here my honesty feeling that is he doesn't do crap here he does a lot of s I'm talking he makes everybody believe he does crap just like last night he ran up to every table and said hello my name's Nino that's not true Nino please would you let me talk Mr always was talking I see that all the time and that's why I kind of stay back from here because I love this damn restaurant and to see just being run down drives me freaking crazy to my opinion he doesn't do crap my mom will admit it my dad will admit it my sister will admit it but I will come out and say it passionately doesn't do crap while the family and Nino are in complete disagreement over his Effectiveness as a manager thank you thank you they were all in agreement that the food at Nino's is good how are you hi good how are you yeah nice to see you are those Brothers always butting heads like that are they always arguing yes they are wow um is that a spelling mistake on there egg plant as in two separate words yeah it is shouldn't they be sort of joined yes and I noticed this one as well down here one meat B did they not know they going to be like it's one word meatball honestly and do you know what I'll go for one meatball one eggplant and CH cting okay thank you got it excellent Michael um listen um I I appreciate your honesty and I know it's hard but I feel like someone's blown smoke on my ass my brother's full of I'd be surprised if he worked two hours a day and that I that's pushing it would you not feel guilty your mom working twice as hard as you yeah be day and night I'm saying why is he not here helping her he doesn't have another job he complains about not having money not taking a vacation either come here at night or get another job sure right no you okay yeah I'm okay I'm okay Garden you sure I just ask before you make any judgments I'm not making any judgments on you at all I'm I'm I'm I'm listening nobody's here at 8:00 in the morning when I'm here and and and there is there is a job that's endeavor I mean all the way you know and I I get back behind here you know I get underneath there I get the plates I get up there and it doesn't take that long it it takes about an hour or so and then I I doing the prep work it just what is that it's just stuck to my jeans oh my gosh do have a look at that under there oh my gosh how many bits of gum of there there is four pieces of gum so do this cleaning I haven't looked down there I don't think you should do that during the business hours in front of customers what time you like me to do it uh come here at 8: in the morning with me yeah shouldn't you do it tomorrow morning and I wouldn't do that in your restaurant either you wouldn't find gum under my tables Neo is a ball of excuses he's just wacko God this full of cobwebs flaty hell didn't get to that one bloody hell definitely didn't get to that one every else was done right y right have you seen the size of that cobweb there have you seen that that's dust that now that's the cobweb didn't see it without the lighting really yeah oh God how often did you clean every day I you know this is something that that takes a lot of consideration I I you know you can be on this here for months I start at one end and then finish at the other in and then I come back on this one oh God this is the 8 in the morning effect 5 days a week for yours bloody hell is there a bathroom anyby just we wash my hands yes sir he should have shut up about cleaning I don't know what he's cleaning but I wouldn't hire him at my house I promise you that oh what are the pictures of these are me cleaning and pulling down all the all the bottles every single bottle I I've never never seen pictures of cleaning there a first for me well that's because my brother's always questioning that I do it I don't know in the first place why he took pictures if it's clean you don't have to prove it as pictures you see it right this is a chicken Bata it's a lemon with capers and mushrooms thank you you're welcome how do you like this one Dreadful no chicken's old flowery slimy okay come over Nina so I just had to Megan that's just if you just touch touch that it's all I'm not going to touch it with my finger what I'm trying to say it's all soggy and flowy so it's I mean I'll do something like that in the kitchen but not in the dining area that wouldn't be appropriate I wouldn't touch food listen listen you sit me on a table full of gum I've got cobwebs coming out my earlobes and now I'm asking you to touch something flowery and you say I wouldn't do this in the dining room all of a sudden you've got this level of concern yes I do because food right there and and you want me to touch it this is food that you've given 10 out of 10 what am I supposed to what am I supposed to do I want you to be honest with yourself and start around and not around ready then get real the chicken is slimy and furry it's got raw flare on the outside you're refusing to accept it cuz you're in the land of not Chef ramser sounding like an ass too much flour and it has no flavor and it's a very delicate chicken and it's delicious he said the Pato was disgusting this guy is disgusting oh and that's my one meatball this is your one meatball Mak s thank you that taste 54 years old mush disgusting and just Dreadful n come over you rated the food on a 10 so far what I've tasted I'm embarrassed that's too bad the meatball soggy Bland and just hideous with a salty Marin our sauce a matter of taste say that again it's a matter of taste that's not a matter of taste when was that made two days ago really I saw him make it right can you have a word with the chef I know you're scared of them but ask him I'm not scared of them and I'm not scared of you what's that supposed to mean you threatening me I'm not a I'm not a person that's scared so don't use that word please I ask you to step up take some form of responsibility and go in there and ask him so are you going to let me continue eat or do you want to what do you want to fight like confrontation we're talking about something physical now can you can you leave me alone let me finish my lunch yes I will and if you find the balls to go and ask your Chef when he made the meatballs it' be greatly appreciative by the way there's dirtty bottles above the fish tank wow Valentina when did you make those meatballs that's that's unbelievable Friday I find that hard to believe cuz today is Tuesday that couldn't be that couldn't possibly be thank you this is the uh this is the egg wow thank you very much girl he made them this weekend on Friday he made them on Friday yes he did and today's Tuesday yes it is Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday unbelievable we've been selling this sauce for 54 years yeah and and we couldn't possibly have this restaurant and have all the success if we didn't make a good sauce and a good meat you are in denial no I'm not bullshitting me and blowing smoke at my ass telling me working there 8 hours a day cleaning telling me that food is great people love it I am myself you need to wear diapers the you shouldn't be on yourself are you okay yeah I'm fine you just trying to act like a idiot to make yourself sound better I'm not a idiot well then stop sounding like one you sound like a idiot yourself I sound like an idiot you use the word so I brought it back to you I think that's that's we need to Cal down unbelievable now I know the problem in this restaurant yeah I'm staring at and I'm staring at it as well be honest I really don't know what's in Nino's head are we done it's almost like he's completely mentally unstable I'd like to have a quick catch up with you Mom Karina and your brother okay Let's uh let's go next door um I'm lost for words honestly I'm depressed dish after dish was a disappointment and then you rate the food 10 out of 10 perfect it's the best time food I've ever had I have a lot of friends that come here and eat your circle of friends isn't keeping the business afloat let's get that right and let me tell you something the chicken Patti chicken was furry and slimy the meatball we discovered was made five freaking days ago but for some bizarre reason you're convincing yourself that everything's fine what you have proven to me is that you are not in a position to take responsibility for anything except cleaning for the first 40 minutes of meeting you all you told me about was the cleaning you're in denial you're refusing to listen to the the negative feedback regarding the food and yet you've got pictures of yourself cleaning the place hello I didn't take those pictures you are happy to show them to me well you you you're indicating that I don't do anything cleaning is basic like drinking water and breathing air and that is not management Nina there's the lady there that's got all the weight on her shoulders and I don't know when you're thinking of getting responsible but let me give you something some piece of advice hurry up will you um I'm just saddened I think really because it doesn't even feel like it's family run um I'm going to go for a walk I'm sorry I really got the sense that he came in here and I'm his Target he's 100% right you're the biggest problem here and if Mom could initiate your early retirement would be the best thing okay you are being entirely unfair and dishonest about this I can't stand seeing this place run like crap this fighting has to stop okay well then I can't come because I can't stand watching it maybe you're taking Nerf pills or something I don't know I can't take it I don't take Nerf pills okay but I can't take it why are you yelling at your mother because you're saying the fighting like like I come in here just to fight no I come in here you to fighting you need to talk yes so maybe we stop saying the word f just a cple cats and dogs that's what it sounds like to MEF he said this is not a family and I know it's not a family okay Chef Ramsey has quickly identified the two biggest problems of the restaurant Nino and the food but he's about to learn a whole lot more as he watches how this kitchen functions during a dinner service what uh what is that lasagna that's lasna well that's a lasagna and I'm the pope Jesus when was it made last Friday no last Friday wow it's really weird very weird indeed oh man what is that is this chicken I thought it was lar it's not as chicken wow it's all dry bloody H can you get me Nina please Nina that's chicken yeah have a little taste all right all right right it's dry Bland and it's just been reheated now for your past editions yeah sure I like the taste that is not the way to cook right I believe Chef Ramsey may have exaggerated it almost sounded like it was unsalvageable throw that away please I don't even want that save for a dog okay you have the CIF for pancakes this is yours as the dishes leave the kitchen reasonable quick complaints from customers are almost immediate look at this though like this is supposed to be the breing I think this is no good look at that go yeah I think I'm going to send this let me sorry for the way too much grease oh no what's wrong with that oh Jesus Christ you are kidding me what is that come on guys this is an example of Nino not knowing how to manage this restaurant he should be in the kitchens making sure that our food quality is consistent okay where's Nino help me the kitchen that's what you need to do I haven't eaten anything all day are you kidding me he was eating with my mom and dad out front we should be working but if he had the initiative the assertiveness to take over we wouldn't be in the situation okay so Nino just continually stands there and that's the frustrating thing right now cuz I look and he's like in my right her fill at all times and you got your poor 78-year-old mother standing out the front Clinging On at a mess in here oh mushrooms and my God are they the meat balls yeah when are they from uh Friday Friday these are from Friday as well mhm look at it how old is that to go that color I have a feeling if I ask somebody they'd say no doubt from Friday when was it made how old is that it's uh from Friday Friday again busy day Friday have you seen inside your Refrigeration yes absolutely we actually do a full full thorough cleaning every night have you got 2 minutes yes sir just look down there the back there yeah there's some product on the ground uh some what on the ground mushrooms yeah there is and if you any idea this is this is here this is just left there my God what's that it's pepper you've been serving this all night it's not even scaled you're the man that gave me 10 out of 10 come on then right I don't know what to say while Nino says he takes great pride in the cleanliness of the restaurant what's this Chef Ramsey discovers another horror story in the walk-in that is red how long does a red pepper take before it goes that rotten just smell that it can go fast it can what it can go faster than you expect how would you feel if your customers saw that that's what I'm trying to say to you all right that I mean I'm sorry it's there but we wouldn't take that and and serve it to somebody no but what I'm trying to say is that signifies how this whole business is run I'll give them on that refrigerator I'm horribly disappointed about it but uh it's impossible to do everything properly you're not doing your job to the best of the ability that's necessary to run this business if you want to say that that's I'm I'm sure that's your It's Not My Prerogative I'm watching it I'm watching you doing it by the minute I I don't have the authority to assert myself and when I ask you do know you do you just never have your mom wants you to step up I'm so confused she wants you to do it uh you're nearly 60 is that true what you just told me he has no power cuz you won't let him that's not true that's not the way it is Nino why do you tell stories like that how many times have I gone in there and tried to to to assert myself when is it two or three years ago I had to go in the hospital you were completely out drunk I I had a relapse and ended up in the hospital what I saw was so disgusting I had to hold them down in emergency room you know they had to put him in in restraints and I made a bad decision she still has a resentment about it and I don't know what I can do about it do me a favor I need to spend two minutes with your mother now all right yeah I feel for you I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm sorry I didn't realize mhm he almost died I'm sorry yeah are you holding against him or is it down to the actual work and commitment I think it's the work and commitment is he lazy what is it yeah I am here to help you you must understand that yeah yeah can we meet first thing tomorrow morning mhm thank you thank you as Chef Ramsey has made a commitment to Inga to help save the restaurant good morning my D good morning he knows his next step is to make sure that nino is committed to changing his ways so this morning he FS Ina in on his plan right now Nino thinks every day that this rest is not going to close cuz you're going to continue funding it mhm if he starts to understand that you've had enough that may wake this guy up mhm so here's the plan I'm going to board up the whole front of this restaurant so it looks like the business is closed I'll be hiding around the corner I'll be around there and I want to hear what he has to say to his mother when you say I'm shutting it down it's about him showing you hunger what he can do that he can do it exactly that you with me yeah perfect hi Mom what's going on I talked to Gordon this morning and I decided to close that business I cannot do it anymore it doesn't work is that what you think yeah all right fine Jesus Christ is that all you have to say well Mom it's your restaurant you're the one that has a decision on this but I think we should still keep it open that's my personal opinion I I I don't want to give up I know we can hold out and do it I cannot put anyone my money in this place I'm willing to fight to keep this restaurant open do you have some suggestion how we can do that we have an expert in the restaurant business we can ask him you really want to do it yes absolutely hey Chef Ramsey hi how you doing so 54 years in the making mhm and the business is on the brink of closure you're part of that failure do you understand what that means yes I do it's got to come from you Nino I'm willing to commit take control Nino I shall no more excuses just be on top of everything I'm Willie mom the business is going to have to become a new priority number one number one at this point I believe Nino really wants to turn his life around and he wants to do what's best for the restaurant and the family while Nino says he committed to change how don't jef Ramsey feels it's important that he shares this news with his brother and his sister okay the lack of commitment with Nino has been going on for far too long and your mother stepped up and told him I've had enough and Nino to his credit turned around and said Mom I want to do this I'm committed yes I don't believe that you know you've been in denial for a long time what your responsibilities have been you made so many promises to all of us over your life and this time you need to be in charge he's committed to that this morning and this is the new Nina maybe for 3 4 weeks but then he'll revert back to the old Nino I I'm asking let's get out of the past what is it we can do from this point to move forward and treat each other with decency and walk away shaking each other's hands okay no more excuses no more denial I need you to be the big brother that you're supposed to be to this family I'm going to be much more focused on doing things that make the business more successful and and that's the truth Michael let's go for it thank you I am willing to give Nino another chance for God's sake he's my brother I believe he can change but I'm not going to make any bets on it now that nino was willing to take the Reigns and the family is ready to move forward Chef Ramsey gives this restaurant its first facelift in over half a century good morning good morning Jeff Ramsey are you excited yes a lot a lot right take off your blindfolds oh my God oh my God

ungrateful I hope my family could get behind all this change and really supported I'm hoping to look after yourselves will you please and look after each other good night good night good night thank you so much bye Mom thank you by good night when this restaurant started there's no internet man had not landed on the moon and there's no such thing as a color TV but there was ninos and the only way this R can continue is if the family put the past behind them I'm not sure if they can but I'm really hoping they can do so wow Nino he can clean and take photographs as well in the weeks that followed although Michael distanced himself from the restaurant the rest of the family has stepped up fire up nine yeah and seven and the fireplace Nino was working harder and is taking on more responsibilities but the task of running the business on a day-to-day basis still falls on ena's shoulders you enjoy the pizza yes oh great and despite her full-time job I do want us to just all work together Karina has increased her Presence at Nino's and hopes that the 54-year-old family restaurant will live on as a legacy for generations to come tonight on Kitchen Nightmares Chef Ramsey Mak his first visit to Seattle Washington am I seeing things but he doesn't exactly get look look in there a warm welcome what a disaster Chef Ramsey is in for a major challenge with a defiant owner I'm not a man that backs down who refuses to listen to anyone I've never seen this before get out of my kitchen even his own family stop the excuses let's just go forward it was fresh doing that day really while they constantly blame each other for the restaurant's problems they don't Focus I'm here every day the standards of plummeted you shouldn't be anywhere near food and despite wife Karen seeing all of the problems a lot of our fixes seem to be pretty simplistic husband Peter seems blind to it all I don't have the change they have to change the attitude get ready for an emotional roller coaster as Chef ramsy attempts to prevent an old school owner live my window now from destroying his restaurant and his relationship with his family as well I'm done then we'll go down in the Flames what is that you serving rotten food we can possibly kill them they wake up you wake up shut the place down get out of here that is amazing thank thank you Seattle Washington known for its great coffee and Superior produce just north of the city lies the upand cominging neighborhood of finny Ridge home to Yan's Greek restaurant run by Peter auso and his family my Dad decided that we should open our own restaurant in 1984 and in 2007 my dad passed me the torch gave me the kiss to the restaurant there what do you need I need another sagaki when we first opened business was a success open but now now it seems like this neighborhood is changing are we open yet and um now people just don't seem to be coming to yanning anymore I don't know guys I don't know my husband was stuck in the past neighborhood's different it's not a neighborhood that's different it's the attitudes are different and he doesn't listen to any of us the Melana dinner High potatoes written here potato don't tell me that next time okay you you just spoil the only thing he does yell where's my plates I need plates to check it before you serve it my dad is an absolute control freak yo yo oh and sometimes I can't take his derogatory tone Elise let's get going what are you guys in the guidelines my daughter Elise is kind of like her dad that's ridiculous she doesn't take criticism well I don't think the man likes garc well tell him to get the out of a Greek restaurant and I think that that's why her and her dad have problems because they have that same personality back why are you crying again teria she can cry in an instant stop crying she's known for being very emotional what now there was too much cinnamon there is nothing she won't cry about now what everything was too garlicky more food I really can't do okay stop it sorry there's so many things wrong with this restaurant but the main problem Peter doesn't change you know a lot of our fixes seem to be really pretty simplistic excuse me got the crap I don't have to change they have to change their attitude I see things more than you think I just can't fix everything things have' gotten so bad that we don't have medical insurance we can't pay our bills on time the mortgage is always late we've hit rock bottom of course it's raining in Seattle before Chef Ramsey heads to the restaurant owner Peter has requested some time alone with him hello how are you sir Chef Ram me out here good to see you at where else in Seattle but a coffee shop tell me how it started tell me back to the beginning we opened 1984 and it was just me and my dad and it was uh very good making money making good money yes and then uh 2007 my Dad decided that you know it's time for me to pull back you took over yeah you know he gave me the torch and uh unfortunately uh our neighborhood have changed a new Young Generation moved in y and I think they're afraid to give us a try right you know not good how much money are you losing between uh 8 and 10,000 month yeah how are you surviving I mean do you have money put away we cut down staff and everything else you know so my wife has to take over the dining room plus my two daughters work in the restaurants what do they do the one that works in the kitchen with me is Alise Elise and then the other one is server Tria Tria how hands on are you uh full hands they gave some responsibilities to my wife but I still feel that I have to look over everybody what's the problem when it comes to business I don't think they're Focus right you know so the devotion is not there devotion yeah do they listen to you uh no not really but what are you like as a boss I'm not uh strong enough I think you're not strong enough yeah I give in wow it sounds like all the pressure are on your shoulders I mean that's it is on my shoulders so what's right with the restrooms well I think we have good product so the food's good how would you wrate that out of 10 if not 10 nine oh wow that's good nine out of 10

you nice to meet you please take a seat I'm really excited to see Chef Amy and for him to tell my father you're not only taking your restaurant down but you're bringing your family down with you what I'd like to do is get your perspective and little insights to yannies you know there's no no fun anymore you know there's no frills um things are tight very tight you okay yeah why you upset Tera she's very emotional oh really I'm sorry it's tough to see my parents struggle when they put so much effort and to know that we're struggling just to barely make ends me it's hard I'm sure it's very hard well how long has it been that bad you know couple years couple years we're trying to figure out what what we can do it's definitely outdated the food is outdated the decor the some of the food is outdated though too some of the food could definitely be presented differently why hasn't it changed I think um my husband's very stubborn is that stubborn yes very very why though he can't just do it have you imagined to him have you all the time fights many fights all the time many fights it's it's virtually impossible but he told me he gives in and allows you to do what you want and he's too easy on you guys too easy you know too lacks no no no never he's not laid back no never but he raised the food 9 out of 10 um he thinks the family are not pulling their weight he's concerned whether his daughters are in or out it's hard to be in when you can't have the full support that you deserve or when he never listens to anything you have to say he said the opposite in terms he gives Bullit he is not that's untrue that's true yes absolutely it doesn't make sense I don't know who you met this morning yeah let me go and get Peter my husband is in total denial of the real issues and why the restaurant is failing I need to get to the bottom of this I mean you know you're telling me one side the fact that they don't do enough then telling me they're scared to step up and change cuz you won't allow change I'm always the the the bad guy because I want things to get done right you just said to me an hour ago either relax guy you're the one that gives in but see when I when I raise my voice I'm a bad guy but it's what comes out of your mouth problem how to speak to people correctly because they're not committed they don't focus on the job is that the only problem you have with us no I want you to be a leader here in this din room it's really hard to be a leader when I am a waitress I don't give a I want things done in the dining room like they're supposed to be and I don't think this gets done they're not servers from the neighborhood they're your daughters they're here to do a job this is a job this is my income do you want them out no I want them to step up I can't do everything anymore we're right here you know I I can't do everything every day we've all said we want to be here we're the ones asking for change what's the change Decor everything the whole restaurant move forward throw away the menu start fres simp that's the only thing I mean I don't understand why it's such a hard step you know it's hard for me to just give up this place we not asking you to give up we're just asking to change change I couldn't within minutes of his arrival Chef Ramsey was struck with the negative ity within the family thank you now he's hoping that he can find something positive in the food that's not all the menu surely to hell it's a Bible it's an encyclopedia five six pages of menu 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine specials I have told my father to change the menu many many times how'd you remember all these and most of this hasn't changed wow do I do I do my father is very stubborn and he needs an English men to give him a good hit in the ass um am I seeing things pumpkin humus pumpkin humus come on stop yeah I have been to thousands of restaurants I have never ever seen a pumpkin humus there not even Halloween I'm going have to try it okay after that how can I not take masaka if I'm in Greek restaurant okay and the house J okay thank you D pumpkin hummus this is is order pumpkin hummus side house hero and a side Musa car whatever that Chef wants The Deco is hideous it does feel like you're back in the 80s that's ceing honestly it's like a kid's bedroom wow pumpkin humus pus coming up here's your humus don't make it too oily wow look at this baby then whose recipe is this this is Peter's right could you join me see that does not make sense I don't like the combination and the garlic in there well garlic is a lot oh my God Garlic's a lot our humus is really really garlicky wow you want me to take that back oh yes is a great shame thank you man but one thing for sure let's get that right there will never be a problem with vampires here let me tell you I mean that is hideous not a fan of the pumpkin hummus and he says it was really too garlicky I don't put much garlic people complain there's not enough garlic I put little extra garlic it's too much garlic like what there's no win situation why are you crying I don't know Pi your head up pull yourself together I'm giving him the Musa CL there are some things on the menu that I beg my dad to get off because I don't personally like them but there's a lot of things on our menu that I think are the best like the musaka I would say that's a 10 out of 10 wow look at this baby musaka lovely look at that and that's uh freshly baked uh in the oven yes nice thank you you're welcome nice pretty weird the meat is very sweet and yet the eggplant is very bitter the eggplant is undercooked it's picking it apart grey as anything at the bottom a huge pool of Grease I love masaka but that is Miles off musaka musaka Karen um it was just so greasy so that is a big let down yes I'll let Elise know she'll be disappointed no it's disappointed to me wow wow wow any more bad news okay oh my God Musa C too oily doesn't like it I can't make a marinado without oil few things the musaka is greasy come on that's ridiculous I think sometimes a sauce so the red sauce is a little greasy I mean you can see the oil you want to go s with him you want to go s with him and chitchat how to criticize my food get out of my kitchen just please please I don't need your criticism out of the kitchen nice nice nice nice right now I'm just pissed what now everything you know it's outdated

oh God she's crying over there it's tough I know it's tough I'm sorry trust me the only thing so far has got a 9 out of 10 is the Peter Bread foods miles away as well as it may hurt I am so sorry but I'm only here for one reason and that's to get this place fixed I know I apprciate okay I hope you enjoy this one so I thank you what is in there come on seriously it looks like a plate full of puke look at it what a mess Karen 2 seconds um all that sauce on there that's not normal oh yes yes really yeah when was the last time you tasted this um i' I've had it I don't really like it you walk through the door and you see the decor dated I didn't think the food would be Beyond dated all right I'll take it back thank you you're welcome he says our food is dated the decor is dated our food is dated what the hell does it mean dated old school cooking Peter dated amazing It's amazing like anything oh my god oh mean doesn't like nothing the pedo was good how about mus potatoes does he like that no they'd be too salty this is going to be the longest night of my life Peter needs to hear these things because the restaurant needs to change you ask him to come out sure please maybe Chef can get through to him because we can listen you told me when we first met that your food was 9 hour hotel I think so Peter but this is the authentic food authentic food let me tell you that is not authentic Greek food pumpkin humus hideous there's some things that work with pumpkin humus is not one of them and the gyro whose idea was it to mate everything with the sauce on there what is that it's something we've had for years it's like a leiter of sauce I mean you say it was bad I don't think it's bad yeah okay masaka I mean so sweet greasy eggplant undercooked so I had that bitter aftertaste the eggplant at the bottom undercooked when it's completely white in the center it's not cooked long enough I disagree if it's not white and you're talking you want it black you want it burnt I'm not asking you to take it personally take it professionally you can give me attitude do whatever you want I don't have an attitude but if you want me to come in and blow smoke up your ass and tell you it's Del yeah I'm not the one Peter have you not thought about changing stuff these are foods I grew up with what am I supposed to change you've got to take your head out the clouds and get into the 21st century I mean you don't even realize how much damage you're causing yourself and your family it's got to stop I need some fresh air I I hry back for service I want to see how this place functions I don't think it can be as depressing a wi just experience I still taste that garlic that was embarrassing I'm not going to crumble because one person says that our food is cro shut up I'm not even talking to you stop crying you're just afraid to get rid of the old menu what do you do with a customers that drive all their way to come here and enjoy something that they've had for the last 30 years old ways are not working if you're going to survive you have to change Can't Let Go something I mean we've invested everything into this place I'm not willing to throw it away because you can't change a menu up Corner move move move it's dinner service at Johnny's and while Chef Ramsey knows there are real issues with the food Elise you guys supposed to call me the I haven't even

everybody's in denial let me just show you something here I don't want to do this anymore this is so embarrassing think he's really going to blast us like that okay well hello look at the refrigerator I mean why do we keep stuff that needs to be thrown away I don't know it needs to be thrown away but I'm not the only responsible one I've never seen this before every fridge is full of fresh stuff and old stuff unfortunately the old stuff's tained the fresh stuff so what you think is fresh is no longer fresh and those poor out there are eating this okay no you can't I'm not going to let you cook anymore yeah the strong right you want to continue cooking you think it's funny do you no Elise if anyone can walk past rotten food in a fridge and continue cooking fresh you shouldn't be anywhere near food and then when I hear oh I've never seen that before then open your eyes just don't believe this you know what happens to check things I don't know what happened what the is this do you guys like this to drink it don't leave that is in there for so long look look in there that's embarrassing but we don't use it I can't keep up with everything I babysit you like kids and you still me I don't need the babysit if I want a baby seit I go Babys seit my granddaughter she's more fun than you guys what is this Chef Ramsay's inspection led to some shocking disgusting discoveries every fridge is full of fresh St and old stuff and Peter is pointing the finger at everyone else look look in there I've babysit you like kids and you still me if I want a babysit I go babysit my granddaughter she's more fun than you guys that's just like my father you know pushing the blame onto everybody else and not taking responsibility it's frustrating I'm sorry I I just want to know are our tables getting our food there's no food toia tell people real story whatever they had is free I'm really sorry just close the line down man I don't give a what you guys do we need to shut down the restaurant why we need to shut down the restaurant no one's getting food comp them for whatever else they've had okay just tell tell them that we're done so I'm sorry but you guys are getting your food we're having some problems in the kitchen and you know we hope that you'll come back again drinks are on the house thank you for trying us and have a good night this is not fair I've never seen food like that oh my God you know what there's no explanation for all that the refrigerator I always still this guys okay you know what though you know how about a system a system has be on top of no you just need to have them have a system you know how many times I have to babysit really you know what your problem is you want to be a babysitter you don't want to let them have control of things okay then fire them things should be labeled things should be dated things should I mean we it's basic basic last night Chef Ramsey was disgusted and disappointed in the mess he uncovered in the kitchen today he is hoping that Peter and Elise are no longer in denial good morning come through please come over let's sit down over here right how are we feeling a little shaky a little shaky yes sir you know with the events that happened last night uh I think we're all embarrassed uh we're here to listen to you to show us a new way to do things but at the same time I cannot let go some of the things that happened last night like what give me an example the refrigerator back there wasn't as bad as I made out yes what I saw last night was disgusting your refrigeration unit was one of the most disgusting fridges I've ever seen you are the owner and it's about time that you sir start taking responsibility for what you're running we are about fresh food and I'm not going to serve my customers any spoiled food if I know it's spoil never the food that we served last night it was fresh yesterday morning I made this food so you cannot tell me that was sitting in the goddamn refrigerator and collecting mold and all that we don't leave things like that alone so you clearly don't know about the spoiled food in the fridge then do you think I'm going to serve that why is it there my employees are not as stupid to do that oh really and we get it and I she just sat there like nothing's wrong I never said nothing is wrong I said I would never serve that I no but it's our fault and we make up all these excuses stop the excuses let's just go forward yesterday was a disaster disaster so can we put that in the past and just walk forward Serv to these people yesterday last night it was fresh to the day so you can tell me that let's get real shall we because if you're not going to listen and you're not going to take responsibility I'm done oh God I'm out of there with Peter refusing to really comprehend the problems of the restaurant the food that I serve to these people yesterday last night it was fresh to the day Chef Ramsey is wondering why he should continue to stay I'm done oh God last night I think that it was reality in our face we have dropped the ball this is not what we are not what we are but it's our fault we we can't blame anyone it's our fault we let it happen we need to step up and take back the restaurant are you willing to work with us Chef Ramsey I mean do you think that we're savable I'm trying to but when you can't accept the real problems there's no chance I need help for improvement help us show us the way please we love this place we live for this place my life life is this place I haven't given up but my focus has been gone I need your help to put me back to where I was before I think we need to not go back to how we were when we were successful we need to move forward and reinvent it yeah you're right Peter you got to let go of the past you've got to change even though change is scary you need to you need to change we have to change our ways yanis cannot succeed like that anymore it cannot stay open like that anymore and this is my reality check and Peter here's another thing what I saw last night wasn't pretty Peter Mew was so negative and if at least is determined to be in the kitchen you have to nurture her and support her did you ever tell her she does a good job yeah never no it shows I mean I'm sorry if I yell at you guys before you know maybe with no reason and stuff but the pressure was on and well I guess I didn't know how to relieve the pressure or how to fix the pressure you at the end of the night when it's all said and done well instead of calling a Chef Ramsey in here to make you say it you can say it once in a while well like I said things are going to change good it will change you know do you mean that I do 100% I'm not a man that backs down I'm not an igom Maniac but I have a pride we're moving forward moving forward I really hope that he's willing to change not only our relationship but everything it's long overdue now that Peter appears to be open-minded Chef Ramsey has an assignment for the family modifying the major thing that Peter has been most stubborn about book for you a novel for you an encyclopedia for you and you and I going to share the menu look at each and every page together and throw out what's not selling get ready to cut out a lot I'll be back in 5 minutes okay okay fed on olives no that's must suis no chicken scatas out no that's not out seriously eat chicken dishes people come in here they're used to this menu and and like new people are going to come I don't want to lose this menu new people are going to come no we're changing I mean this is your time to change it's like walk away from the menu take it out how many items is it to begin with too many oh my God I they realiz so many I've had this menu for 28 years but I think it's time for me to listen to others leave my ego out the door 55 it menu I never I just that's the only way for this restaurant succeed okay we have to sagak FIA is out okay chicken scatas off off
