Kitchen Nightmares · Season 1, Episode 15

Gordon, Samy and others in “Unfinished Business”

I can't help people... that can't help themselves... and cannot ever take one ounce of criticism. And if you're not willing to change, I'm not going to butt heads, argue, scream, whatever you want to say. But, this is not normal. And it's not normal for a restaurant to go through that many staff. It's not normal for a kitchen that small to have 65 items on the menu. And it's not normal for the level of animosity that you built inside this restaurant and outside. You have the right to run the business the way you want to run your business. I have the right to do the right thing. And the right thing for me... is to get out of here. Good luck.

[Gordon leaves via the restaurant's front door]

Wow.

This is what you wanted?

Yeah, of course this is what I wanted. I'm not participating in this shit, give me a break! (points to her microphone) Can I take this thing off me? (interview) We don't need his help! Maybe he knows that.

It all has to come down.

(interview) And now he's gone, he walked away. He'll go on with his life, and Samy and I will go on with our life.
