It's 90 minutes into dinner service, and food has been ridiculously slow leaving the blue kitchen...
(walking up the stairs to take a table's order) Hello guys.
...but Vinny has a plan to speed things up.
(to the diners) I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you: you guys order sides, you're gonna be here till next Tuesday. (interview) I have zero confidence that Raj is getting out garnishes and sides.
No sides.
Yeah. (Vinny smiles and gives a thumbs-up)
(interview) So I came up with a bit of a clever idea.
(to the same diners that Vinny just waited on) How's the service this evening?
We can't order sides...
Why are you not allowed to order sides?
Because I guess we can get our food quicker if we don't order sides?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Um, let me go speak to the chef about this.
(to Scott) Yeah, just check that. There's no sides on there, I don't know why.
(to Vinny) Come over here! (to Gordon) Chef, one of his tables, he's telling them they could not have side orders because it takes too long to get it out of the kitchen.
What I said was, I'd be happy to bring them to you...
Shut up! Come in here!
That is not what I told them.
Why?
That is NOT what I told them.
What did you tell them?
Exactly what I told them was this: I said "I'm telling you the truth. The sides are delicious, but it's going to take a lot longer if you want sides, so..."
STOP EVERYBODY! Now Captain Vinny here is telling the customers not to order sides! (to Raj) Come here. Did you tell him not to order sides?
Of course not! Why would I say that?
Don't fucking shout at me, fuck-face! You told him that? "Don't push the sides, so I look good."
No, I'm ready with the sides! Look, I got all the sides ready, I'm waiting for them.
So why's he not taking the orders?
I have no idea, but look at these sides, it's all ready! He's- he's- I'm- he's- okay...
Do you want to know the truth?
Yeah, I do want to know the truth!
The truth is, I have no faith that he's going to be able to get the sides out.
You'd better understand one fucking thing! You do NOT decide what goes out this kitchen!
(mumbles) I don't know.
GET OUT.
Yes, chef.
GET OUT, YOU!
