Kitchen Nightmares · Season 1, Episode 15

Gordon and David in “Unfinished Business”

You tell me about the passion with the Maine lobsters. Are you aware that the lobsters in your fridge are Canadian?

Same waters, North Atlantic waters.

You're telling me now...a Canadian lobster, half the price of a Maine lobster, is the same taste and flavour? There's a big difference. I can't get Maine lobsters.

That's right, so they get them from Canada.

I'm using Canadian lobsters.

That's right. That's what they do.

But I don't advertise them as "Maine."

You tell me, is it a different animal?

"Maine" is a "Canadian" lobster for you?

Homarus americanus. Same animal, right?

Holy shit...

I'm asking you a question.

What you're trying to dictate to me is that you're selling "Maine" lobster - they're not from Maine.

Well, it comes from the same vendor.

[at a loss] Holy shit! The award-winning Maine lobster roll... is Canadian!
