Gordon Ramsay Served Stuffed Clams Without Clams | Kitchen Nightmares 

if my step dad would have said that in front of my mother she would start throwing hands like holy fuck lady stick up for your son

@@hydra7094 ikr.. if that was my mom, she would just divorce him right there in an instant.. "if you can't accept my son, you can't be a good father for him" and now my mom found someone who accepted us both and we accepted both my stepdad and his 3 sons, 2 of em which are deaf since birth, i love em tho😄😆

@@GReyn that’s awesome man

My step dad and mom joke about this constantly when we get in a mini argument about something, and they both tell me to talk to the other person and they are like, she is your daughter talk to her, and the other says the same back until I just walk away. I usually return 10mins after and we can resolve the issue.

@@nikolaplivna - Joking is different.

Family is about how people treat you, not who’s your blood.

yeah divorce should be NOW

Its honestly so fcking disgusting

Sounds like you've heard that line before and now you got daddy issues XD

@@mattaddison1910 or they’re just a basic human being who understands that saying stuff like that is messed up? Bruh

They should fire the parents

​@@KonradvonHotzendorf😂 Totally agree.👍

Lots of comments talk about what a trash bag the dude is, but the mom is willfully shoving her kids into that situation. She's so far from innocent.

She comes with the house. Not hard to understand why the original dad is long gone.

The big word here is “her” son!

I guess having no other grown ups in their family caused them to have to grow up themselves

@@timpy1124 this.. and imo, that's how most broken / torn up families are.. well, at least that's me..

I wonder how their own father felt (because Keith is their stepdad) about her considering I see Lisa is still childish herself for ordering their own food in middle service and telling like a child that "I'm starving" while in fact they should eat before dinner service!

@@GReyn I think you're right, mate. I had to grow up quick for the same reasons...

@@timpy1124 i mean for me its how i also got mature... hopefully most kids get mature by other ways...

The main lessons I learned in a small business start up class were 1. Do your research and 2. Don't start a business.

The father goes to Ruby’s II down the street

The chicken,the chicken for chicken cutlet Parmesan was leftover and refrigerated. It seemed to be overcooked also. Chicken cutlet done properly doesn’t take a long time to cook…

@@margaretgrupski4548 EXACTLY chicken cutlet is quite litteraly the shortest cook time piece of chicken other than diced, even fucking tenders take longer to cook

How about the other way around?

​@Fuck_handles how is that relevant?

obvioudly the same, there is 0 point to this comment@@Fuck_handles

Chances are unfortunately that she was being abused as well.

yeah thats fucked

The moment I saw them both chilling out in the car, I knew at once they deserve each other.

„Pathetic excuse of a mother“ is putting it lightly lmao

@@RoselSmidheda doesn't really change anything tho, that should be the wake up call, when your asshole husband threatens your child

Its not like she was doing a ton either....

Her mother seems to be more protective of her husband instead of her own son when he says he wanna "elbow" his son

He and his sister, Joli are way more mature than Keith and Lisa.

@@Amm17ar Exactly - I was thinking she was a part of the problem just like her husband.. She is not doing anything to help the business and she is totally careless

It takes a Van to get rid of that load of crap.

I saw that coming a mile away. You can't make someone motivated just by telling them to be motivated.

@@KristianKumpulaAgreed. It’s the same with most of the restaurants in KN. A lot of them are either too far in debt already or the owners aren’t motivated to actually try and make it successful.

@@MrSlendyMannn yep one was even shut down before filming started. so they opened it just for filming.

What happened to the kid

@@jesusbanda5227 Hopefully he's doing well. He has a good head on his shoulders.

Strange hairdo on the kid tho!

@@joywebster2678 But, that's the years when emo era's been happening.

I FIND THAT MOST TIME THE YOUNGER PEOPLE ALWAYS GET GORDON AND ARE ALWAYS MORE MOTIVATED TO FOLLOW HIS DIRECTIONS

Usually in Kitchen Nightmares, the kids are always more opened to Gordon's advice more than their parents because they want to learn from the best while their parents are still stuck in their old ways

@@pudingauriz why u typing in CAPS?

OH NOOOOOOOO!!! I have two girlfriends, but very few people on YT are happy for my relationship success. They disl*ke all of the videos I make with my 2 girlfriends. Please be kind, dear roe

He's got quite the mouth on him and doesn't seem very trust worthy IMO

@@Mysterio-io4yd he hasn’t lied about the fact the managers never come in.

I know right, he's got a knack as front house manager

@@Mysterio-io4yd he gives a shit about the restaurant.

Unless your mother quietly insulted or provoked him in the kitchen. There is such a thing as abuse from the "quiet one".

I wish Gordon said the same thing

Gordon isn't into Misandry!

hard to watch

Literally same. My father was like that, makes me sick to see.

hes not even a narc, he just caves in every single time something happens and his wife just follow's him along

You watched a heavily edited and doctored 40 min condensed version of a scripted event, and you believe that they showed you the truth? Everyone who's been on the show has admitted how incredibly fake and scripted the encounters are, in post processing, they cut and splice the footage in order to make villains out of people. Seems like they're doing a good job if you believed all of it. They spoon-feed you with this shit and you eat it up with no critical thinking whatsoever.

@@mattaddison1910 I know, but honestly I'm just going for the fun of it

Those two kids were amazing. I'd be thanking my lucky stars for them.

INDEED

Isn't that like 70% of owners on this show

@@internetdinosaur8810 yea but these two were so shit they split up because of it and the restaurant wasn’t even close to making a comeback. Like at least the other owners tried to change, and were way more involved, but these two were just pathetically hanging out in their car more than they were in the actual restaurant.

@@zacharywindover9840 True

These two should have gone to couple therapist before calling Ramsay

Some people communicate better in written form. At least she tried.

@@goblinslayer310 for real

@@goblinslayer310 I love your name xx

lets keep this between us and the massive audience

The show barely gives it away, good catch there!

well, he's a step father so yeah

When the original father isn’t around, you gotta step up and be man of the house. Regardless of having a stepdad. You gotta make sure they know where they stand and that’s not at the top. Protect blood above all else. Van should slap Keith up.

@@Dean_AZN More often than not, parents don't want new parents for their kids. It's quite possible that his role was defined as her husband and not as a father figure. Also we don't know anything about the biological father, he might be living down the road and have a healthy relationship with his son for all we know.

don't forget when the stepdad said "don't make me elbow you" to the son.

And if thats how he's acting with cameras on, imagine how he's like when they're off...

And thank goodness for that fact. 🙏

A friend's step father said that to him once, and his response was "that's the best thing you've ever said to me" it was gold

Right? Someone had to step up and the owners sure weren't doing it.

@@NiecieSavo I didn’t finish watching before I commented but after watching a bit more, hearing the house will be taken from them, the kid just doesn’t want to be homeless. I wouldn’t be surprised if the only reason Gordon came is because he reached out personally. Not one of the owners.

He became head honcho the moment the old one didn't pull his weight.

@@Chumbucketsecret And that is also such an unfortunate part of this. The kid looks like he has a lot of potential, but hell be stuck trying to keep the restaurant afloat.

To stuck up people, help is seen as disrespect...#OpenYourEyes

Period I loved that part

After Gordon was literally caught on film with a prostitute and was buying poppers then going to a hotel with her? F**k Gordon's white knightery. Especially when you've seen how beautiful inside and out and supportive his wife Tana is.

I’d leave so fucking fast 😂

@@scorpiusm3321 😂

This post was made by scared shit-less gang.

I'd definitely sit and watch before ordering food! Could be fun so I wouldn't run off. Also some Kitchen Nightmares, the food is not a problem, it's finding the target market

I'm just gonna leave immediately

My step father has said this about me ever since I met him

​@Goodyearmonkey Never forget that.

It's easy to kick the step-father for saying that, but have you ever come across mixed families where the maternal or paternal parent is very possessive of their child to the point of favoring them over their spouse? Or threatening their spouse with divorce if the latter parents with authority as the new mother or father? Easy to throw stones while watching a severely edited video that gives us almost zero context of a married couple. This show brings out the best and worst in us.

@@Goodyearmonkey- Each situation is unique. Some step-children are very disrespectful of the new step-parent. Or vice versa where the step-parent is not being a good fill-in. Maternal or paternal parents can also be so protective that the new spouse has almost zero authority as an elder/step-parent. Which can lead to big problems the blood parent and their spouse. Hopefully, y'all figure things out and love each other well as a family.

@@Goodyearmonkey I’m so sorry that happened to you.. How old were you Did your mother know about it?

As in every other restaurant, every staff member takes a break to eat their dinner, but since this is a reality TV show, they only showed the owners.

@@KC-zw4mm that was not 'taking a break'...it was taking a stand that they are irresponsible! Even their own kid said 'you ordered this in your name'...like it wasn't normal. I'm glad he refused to give them cutlery. Do you think in general, people i hospitality get to take their breaks during busy lunch or dinner service? Because I assure you, they do not. I can see me now 'gee. I'm going to take my break now', during lunch service...yeah right!

​@@KC-zw4mmYeah you don't get a specific time where you're capable of ordering food. In fact most places I've worked (currently a line cook) you're lucky if the kitchen ALLOWS you to make an order after close if they've been particularly busy. More often than not, we're taking a piece of food off YOUR plate after we've just finished making it so.

the time to eat if before starting the service hours. the time for a break (other than 5 minutes tops) is after the heavy traffic slows down@@KC-zw4mm

@@KC-zw4mm They're not just taking a break though, they're taking every opportunity to ignore the problems of the restaurant and sit outside or go home. They're also sitting in the car at the same time, anywhere else you would stagger your breaks so you always have someone on duty, not have both managers/owners disappear in the middle of the busiest period of service.

Yesssss and they should take Michael with them

They should take everyone with; everyone except their mum and Keith 😂​@@mady3639

Seriously, all of the staff worked surprisingly well together -- you could tell they were trying their hardest, they just had to deal with some serious incompetence in management. All the staff were so professional, and were all on the same page of what exactly the problem was, they all gave the same, consistent response: owners were the problem. The cooks didn't even get defensive about the food when Gordon didn't like it (as is often the case with the chefs) -- they took the criticism, already knew it was subpar, and were eager to change it. Up until then, they had been doing what they were told, by the incompetent owners. The kids were mature and prepared to fix things, the whole staff was. Really sad that the key components were the problem, because the rest of the restaurant had such a good vibe with each other otherwise. If only Joli and Van could take over and spearhead the restaurant. They had some great examples of what NOT to do.

Did you see the Burger Kitchen episode? Full episode is on this channel too. The stepdad here was a total piece of shit but compared to Alan and his lovely wife Gen in Burger Kitchen he's a saint.

@@user-lv7ph7hs7l Because Alan's father was a mafia in Australia

@@margarethmichelina5146 Yeah I found out about that. Quite the story lol. It is funny but also sad how he keeps complaining about his aweful father while being aweful to his son. I guess making crap food is an improvement over running whores and gambling venues. On the other hand not quite as exciting. And I assume the money came from the Mafia guy, so he was more than happy to take the profits while pretending to be on the moral high ground (and stealing his sons money).... these episodes are great to watch when you feel bad about yourself. They make any halfway normal person look like a saint...

@@user-lv7ph7hs7l he's in the MAFIA !? goddamn what did I miss.

its for a show. they agree to get humiliated in exchange for help, guidance and new restaurant design. What do you think? Gordon only goes where his huge team sees a good drama potential. Obviously this episode was one of the more extreme and realistic. Still the man never said things like "hes not my son". Nobody is this terrible and its all exaggerated for TV purpose. Dont be dumb kids please !!!

I hope he is doing well theses days, as we say in the UK, "He's a top bloke".

He is not your friend bro, you have to start looking after your mom and restaurant.. you can’t live in the past bro, you can’t.

@@askasktro9984 there is nothing wrong with the fresh frozen food I serve in my restaurant. My mom loves it and won't take any form of criticism.

@@justinace2589 your mom is a wonderful woman..

Wouldn't mind working with the son.he cute too

His stepfather threatened to elbow him? This is the type of guy you don't want anywhere near honest people

It’s not hard to tell the truth it’s not it’s hard to tell truth to me

😂

Damm you got hearted by kitchen nightmares

@@zapzapgobrr128 ikr its sick

🔥🔥🔥

Yup the staff seemed to be alright the owners just didn't know what they were doing.

I want to check the food and fridges before eating at any restaurant because of this show

Simple: People with money drive by a closed restaurant and see a for sale sign, buy it, with no expierence or knowledge about restaurants. Or parents buy them for their spoilt brats (as seen before as well), while the spoilt brats don´t have any expierence either. There are some industries were people think "oh, its so easy to own this and you basically earn money without doing any work (bc staff) - and they are relatively easy to open - speaking from what I learned in my year living in the US, and this show (which of course are limited views) - every idiot is allowed to open a restaurant. In my country to be able to open a restaurant you need a license, which you only get if you did a three-year apprenticeship, (which involves working full time and some basic schooling) or you attendend a high school focused on tourism and such and internships as work expierence - which is also not a lot, but still better.

Honestly I wish I were you, I also started working since I was 13 yo. but in my case, my experience is pretty horrible. I'm happy to read that you had the opportunity to work in a really great atmosphere, I hope you'll have the same luck as back then!

@@jennuar2617 Did you start in the restaurant business? What do you mean by horrible? Was the kitchen in dismay, managment problems, bullying? Sorry to hear it was horrible. I've not had the same luck at all, everything has been going downhill since.

Because the failing ones are being leaded by lunatics

I wish my first job was like that. Instead I had a weird boss who would make inappropriate jokes and remarks and make everyone feel uncomfortable. Very toxic work environment.

This is so sad.... Tavolini really had a potential, yet they got bogged down by their owner's incompetence :(

If they would have been honest with the numbers, Gordon might not have bothered in the first place. But honesty and these owners don't fit well together.

wait, it's all real?

@@gremlinwithgun7527 Well, the husband-wife relationship has been wrecked for 5 years, so it was probably already hard for them to keep working together.

I'm convinced most restaurants only went on this show for the free renovation and then they could try to sell the business for a bit more. Because most of these businesses end up like this. Huge amounts of debt. At the end of the day Gordon's help isn't really that helpful. His help will never shift the hundreds of thousands of debt.

good job making a nino-joke...there shouldnt be a kitchen nightmares comment section without it...

I prefer casual but friendly over the over the top smily ''polite''. I dont like rude behavior. But casual is great, makes me feel like I'm actualy interacting with a human being as a human being rather then a robot or a fake personality. To each their own I guess.

Keith is such a waste of space.

He’s not wrong though

@@NatTBK he's not wrong, that doesn't mean he can threaten and hit a boy just because it's "not his son"

I feel like maybe even actual parents just want to say that sometimes because my mom would say to my biological dad “look at your daughter this has nothing to do with me” I’m like there were witnesses seeing me coming out of your body what do you mean mom

this show actually opened up my eye on food business since my parents owns a restaurant (low to mid class, not the likes of which is shown in KN). Many of the advice he give is actually pretty solid based on the performance of our store. 1. Owner must always be there to monitor the staff(since my mother is sick, the performance of our restaurant has a noticeable dent due to staff problem, rectified by promoting my sisters in law(she was already working on the place, but as a cashier) to replaced my mom. Everything she sees there is reported back to my mother and she become my mouther's right hand man.) 2. Taking care of the restaurant cleanliness has both physical and mentally benefits(it shows you actually care about the damn place and makes you feel proud to work there. Not to mention the hygiene.) 3. Always cook fresh food with fresh ingredient.(Ngl however, that this practice nearly drove us to bankruptcy when Covid-19 hits. Its simply hard to keep fresh food in when the price of the goods began skyrocketing and our reg. customers were no longer coming. Thankfully we managed to hold on long enough until the situation recovered.)

@@Iwanwahid1969 yoh, you guys and your business is awesome, pitching in extra effort and cass just to keep the standards of the food the same

@@Iwanwahid1969 glad you pulled through. Hope you guys thrive now.

Like a kid who begs for food and then eating in the car with her lazy ass husband. What kind of owner ordering their own food in the dinner service? Shouldn't they eat before dinner service and show up at the restaurant? Van, Joli and Michael are the real owners not them!

with the massive debt there was no saving it.

She should have divorced him when he said "Your son. Not mine". Tells all you need to know..!

The restaurant was already in too much debt before Gordon arrived. He was too little too late before coming here. So not much of a surprise that they closed soon after.

Hope Van and Joli (the kids) are doing better.

Of course, it was pretty clear what was going to happen.
