It's 30 minutes into dinner service, and Ben is trying to impress Chef Ramsay with his speed.
[bringing some chocolate brownie desserts to the pass] Coming down with desserts. Coming down with desserts.
Unfortunately, having dessert ready before the appetizers is not exactly what Chef Ramsay had in mind.
Dickhead, put them down. [calls entire team] Hey, all of you, come here. Ben's now bringing me a chocolate fucking brownie. [tosses one dessert on the counter] WHAT'S GOING ON?!
(interview) I didn't know what was going on, but he brought up dessert four minutes in. I mean, I've done some stupid shit, but that's embarrassing.
So, let's do it this way, then. There you go. [puts the desserts on the pass] Ben wants to serve the chocolate brownie before we serve the appetizers.
No, chef.
What are you dreaming on?! Are you stupid?!
No, chef.
You've got cheesecake made as well!
Yes, chef.
We've trashed six desserts before we've sent out fucking appetizers!
My fault, chef. (interview) It was my mistake for not exactly knowing Chef Ramsay's terminologies, but fuck me if the words "pick" and "up" don't mean "give you the desserts!"
Have you been drinking or sniffing?
No, chef. No, chef.
Look at me: Go upstairs for a lie-down.
No, no, chef!
Go on, go upstairs for a lie-down. [leads Ben out of the kitchen, then walks away] Useless. Absolutely useless. [a couple of seconds pass, then Ben quickly returns into the kitchen]
