Kitchen Nightmares · Season 1, Episode 15

Gordon, Shelly and others in “Unfinished Business”

[Gordon sees a wok where Shelly's cooking her food on]

Am I seeing right? You've got a three-burner wok there. Is that a pizza oven?

SShelly

Yes, that is my pizza oven. And the wok. I love it, chef.

PPortia

(passes between Gordon and Shelly) Sorry, chef.

Shelly, how can you cook soul food in a wok?

SShelly

Watch me, chef! Watch me!

MMateen

(interview) Soul food is supposed to be cooked slowly. Soul food is cooked with love and soul. Not in a wok. Shelly's cooking green beans in a wok, cooking rice in a wok, cabbage in a wok. We're not a Chinese soul-food restaurant. We don't need a wok, okay?

(to Mateen) That's a first to me. A Southern food restaurant with a Chinese wok and a pizza oven?

MMateen

Yeah, the oven that doesn't work, right there.

Tell me what's working, apart from you.
