Kitchen Nightmares · Season 1, Episode 15

Melissa, Brian and others in “Unfinished Business”

(watching Brian, in the kitchen, down a glass of beer) I want to see you and Ramsay chug.

I'll smoke him, and tuck him into bed. Goodnight, chef. (laughs) (interview) I'm a very confident person. I've been in the kitchen a long time. I'm almost positive we'll get a good review.

(waiting for his spring rolls) When you get a family business right, it goes on for generations; and here, it doesn't feel like a family-run business at all. Pubs are full of atmosphere, fun. It's got tweed-neck curtains, like you're going to visit your granny. Weird.

(arriving with spring rolls) Here you are; spring rolls with Coleman's mustard.

Wow. God. Very strange, bizarre-looking spring roll. (eats it) Damn. (to Melissa) Are they popular on the menu?

(hesitantly) People... really like them.

No doubt half the customers are drunk.

This is a tough half-hour of my life.

(to Brian) Not a big hit.

He didn't like it?

Nope. (interview) Brian's in the kitchen, wondering, and I'm like, "Nope."

Are you kidding me?

He really expected me to be like, "He loved it!" You know, "He wants you to come work for him!"

Come on! (drizzles balsamic on Gordon's salmon) Maybe try that one.

(serving the salmon to Gordon) Let me get you some clean silverware...

Thank you. (noticing the balsamic) God. What's this stuff, please, Melissa?

On top is a balsamic reduction. He (Brian) likes to use that a lot. On everything, he puts a little drizzle on.

A little? Thank you.

You're welcome. (leaves)

Always a sign of an insecure chef, when he macerates everything in balsamic vinegar. Look at this. (tastes it) Horrible. Doesn't taste of salmon at all.

(returning) All through?

Does my shepherd's pie have any balsamic vinegar?

No.

(sarcastically) Good. Lovely.

I don't even think he likes the water.

(to Brian) He asked me, "Will my shepherd's pie have any balsamic vinegar?" and I told him, "No, I assure you it will not."

Do I? Do I dare? (interview) I don't want to come off as conceited or cocky, but I know I'm very good at what I do. I know the back of the house well. I've done everything that's out there.

[We see a tray of shepherd's pie filling, topped with a pool of fat.]

Let's try that one.

(serves the pie) Enjoy.

Thank you.

You're welcome. (leaves)

(digging into the shepherd's pie with his fork) It's just a big ball of grease. (eats it and grimaces) Just very, very greasy. (coughs and gags) Oh, God! That's disgusting.

[Gordon gets up and leaves the table]

(to Buddy) The toilet?

Second door on the left.

[Gordon walks toward the bathroom. A moment later, he is heard vomiting.]

Oh, no...
