Mill Street Bistro PART ONE & TWO | DOUBLE FULL EPISODE | Kitchen Nightmares 

The most painful part of this video is seeing how much food you could buy for only $89.73 back in 2012.

gordon: you just put no effort into your food, it's disgusting me eating beans on toast: you tell him gordon

who’s here in 2024

"This is what - back in Scotland?" "No. New York." Is the biggest power move I've ever seen, absolutely decimated.

Every 1 or 2 years I do a Kitchen Nightmares marathon, this is my therapy

"I can cook, Joe." is still one of the coldest comebacks Gordon has ever given us.

“Tell him can you put RAW ONIONS in an onion soup” “No” gets me every time 😂😂😂

My favorite part is the owner saying “our food here is the freshest” followed immediately by the microwave slamming shut and beeping lmao.

as soon as joe says "i've been self taught by European chefs" you know you're in for a fun ride

When joe pretended to be nice when the customers came in I broke out in tears out of laughter 😂😂

*whispers* "But I can cook Joe" was the sexiest thing that man has ever said 😅

Honestly, that waitress should've gotten a job offer from Gordon. That was one of the best wait-staff I've ever seen, incredibly professional, logical with conflict against the kitchen staff, forward with complaints.

That fact that the staff were excited to see Gordon tear Joe to shreds says a lot about the way Joe treats them

The 180 he does when the customers walk in as he's berating the staff shows you truly how pathetic he really is.

"Lettuce, onion, burger, lettuce, sauce"...Joe would never survive building a Big Mac 😂

“I’ve been eating elk for thirty years!” Yeah, judging by what you served Gordon, it probably took that long to chew

The cringe in Amy's voice when she says "and I quote, that is a tender... piece...of...elk" is perfection. The staff here are world class.

"The food here is the freshest!" **shows microwave beeping** This cameraman is a menace.

"Can I interject something?" "I'm busy" Was easily the most epic comeback given the circumstances. Well played Ramsey.

"Well, I do have a confession to make... Joe has been listening." The collective sighs and shoulder drops ... heartbreaking to watch. 😭

Joe saying, "Well maybe we should cook them 'till they're... piping hot!" as if it's a super exaggerated statement, and the waitress just going, "...yeah, I think you should." is my personal favourite moment

Him telling to the camera how tender the elk is while struggling hard to chew it is comedy gold.

13:33 *Gordon throwing flowers on the cake* ------>> *I LUV when his inner child comes out* 💯

Being told to "cook my burgers" by Gordon must've felt like an actual compliment as he goes to yell at your boss lmao

I know gordon tries not to flex his own success but the "I can cook" was so satisfying and well deserved

The “I can cook” was so cold felt like the ultimate chef one liner

I love how Joe defended those micro carrots but got mad and offended by them as soon as Gordon gave them back😭

The lean in and saying "I can cook Joe" was EVERYTHING

I never thought I'd see a grown man get so insulted over a micro carrot.

I love the fact that Tommy was cooking peacefully while Gordon and Joe were arguing in the kitchen

This was actually a 2 hour documentary about a man devastated and heartbroken over the criticism of his Elk.

it's been like 15 years we deserve to see some of these conversations unedited

"I'm self taught by old school Europeans." Probably the single most ridiculous quote I've heard on Kitchen Nightmares.

I love how Gordon dresses in civilian clothes when trying out the food because he's standing in the customer's position, and when he's monitoring dinner service, he makes it very clear that he knows his shit as a world-class chef by wearing a chef's suit.

23:17 "Does that fxcking say fresh fish?" Immediately points to a board saying "fresh catch of the day". 😂

Gordon saying "im gonna go find something to eat, im starving" when he leaves on the first day always sends me into the deep fryer its hilarious

Tommy is a great chef, Gordon and Joe are arguing right next to him and he still continues cooking. That is one dedicated chef

Joe: “This piece of elk is tender and well cooked” Also Him: *Nearly Dislocates his jaw*

lol “our micro carrots go to the White House and the five seasons” FIVE seasons???

This is probably the greatest Kitchen Nightmares episode of all time

Imagine being booted out of your own kitchen, in your own RESTAURANT, by GORDON RAMSAY, then moaning to your customers about why one of the world's greatest chefs is WRONG 😂

The "I can Cook "whisper in the ear was so vicious it gave me goosebumps.

The way he switched up when he was berating his servers and realized customers were there 💀🤣

I love how sweet and funny GR is with the staff when he's sitting down to eat. It shows his softer comedic side

The look on the staff’s faces every time GR asks them to remove their name tags. “DOBBY IS FREE NOW” 😂

“This is the most tender piece of elk” chews the elk for 5 minutes in 2 different shots 🤣🤣🤣

"Can I interject something?" "I'm busy." You deserved that lmao

Joe: "The food here is exceptional!" Server: "We are mediocre at best". 😆

Imagine thinking you are better at cooking than Gordon freaking Ramsay while having a bankrupt restaurant 💀

Ever notice that Gordan always treats the waitstaff with dignity and respect. He never treats them like less than.

The way Gordon beckoned the waitress over with his finger and that “come here you” the way I’d fold so fast

The girl who keeps laughing is my favorite in this episode because she’s so relatable

That "i can cook Joe" whisper was Gordon showing 10% of his power.

The absolute 180 when he learns customers can hear him berating his staff had me in stitches, fuckin hell

As someone going through cancer at 29… my biggest struggle in life so far financially, physically, and emotionally.. I’m glad to see chef godron supporting the American cancer society ! Unfortunately they’re full for my type of cancer ( ALL Leukemia ) so I can’t get any help from them right now 😔 but I’m glad to know others are getting the help they need from it

I love how kind he is to the servers

"We're stopping the elk quesadilla, breaking news in Mexico" is absolute gold

The loser ended up remodeling his restaurant and renaming it gains after the show filmed, he fired the staff that talked to GR about him, and then he sued the production company for “missing items”, claiming they were missing after the remodel. Before the place closed, Joe got back into the kitchen (probably in order to add some raw onions into the French onion soup and maybe grill some lettuce…), and the Yelp reviews all had one star. Seeing how he lies with a straight face, I’m actually shocked they settled the case for 9k$ (edit: read the comments under my comment, I could be wrong on the sum). In 2016 he sold the place… Basically he was trying to find a way to get more money out of everyone who tried to help him, but he’s a pathological liar and I hope he fails at everything he does. “Farm to table” my ass.

“ THESE CARROTS GO TO THE FIVE SEASONS!!!!!” Wow that must be an exclusive and super fancy elite place… because no one’s ever heard of it. 😂

I watch this episode while I'm tipsy and need a good laugh. A narcissist little man, literally, with a Napoleon complex. It's very funny.

I love how much fun Gordon has with the waiters, it's like a breath of fresh air

Tbh the staff in this episode are some of the most memorable in this series. They are all so sweet

Amy is amazing. It’s incredible how Joe is so confrontational with chef Ramsey when he is trying to help

The “petite” micro carrots really struck a nerve with Joe. Wonder what’s going on there 😂

Imagine being berated in your own kitchen, getting upset, then going out to complain to customers about it like a child 😂

The biggest shot to Joe from Gordon was his suttle reminder of his restaurant's in New York

If someone says they’re about to “leave and get something to eat” and they’re already in a restaurant is a top tier disrespect🤣🤣🤣

Hands down, one of best episodes in Kitchen Nightmares history

Just came back to rewatch this one and the fucking switch from "get your shit together" to "I appreciate you all" is still pure comedy gold

How he switched up his attitude when he looked over at the customers 😭😭😭😭 29:45

The restaurant was closed in 2016 and the building was sold. It was renamed in 2013 shortly after Ramsey left. A whole bunch of bad reviews about the owner. Online. The owner truly destroyed his own business.

2:49 "I've never had a piece of meat come back in here in 10 years." 3:40 "How long have you had the restaurant?" "5 years."

That cut to the bull after he said "I'm not arrogant, I'm a passionate loving person" 🤣 Someone give the editor a raise.

The way he stops berating the staff and praises them when he realizes the customers can hear lmao

gordon is honestly a good bloke for sticking around and continuing to help, even after being spoken to and lied to the way he is by some of these clowns

Joe is honestly terrifying. He wants power and so rules with an iron fist, but adopts the attitude that best suits his needs. At first he tries to mirror Gordon, projecting success and authority, but it doesn’t work. The moment Gordon threatens to leave, Joe switches, becoming what he thinks Gordon wants to see. You can actually hear it in real time at the end of part 1/beginning of part 2. And once Gordon agrees to stay and is on his way to overhauling it, he switches back. Unluckily for him, Gordon doesn’t take bs, and sees through him and his gaslighting

When chef Ramsay whispers in the owners ear "i can cook, Joe" it felt like the whole building started burning XD

The staff’s reaction of Gordan ripping him a new one ahhhh

Gordan is the master of ultimate insults on the show. Not through words, but actions.

"You don't hand me RAW vegetables in my dining room!" He says after he tries to feed it to Gordon. 😂

I love how nice he is to the waiters/waitresses because he KNOWS it’s not their fault and I really appreciate Gordon for that

Gordon giving Joe his initial review was the best, most satisfying show the servers had seen in ages 😂

Gordon is so charming and lovely as a person , the kitchen is his arena and he's a tough cookie but you can tell he is such a decent person and kind man. I would go on a dinner date with Gordon any day ❤

What Happened Next at Mill Street Bistro? In the months that followed, the menu at Mill Street Bisto in Ohio had been changed but some of Gordon's changes were kept. Mill Street Bistro staff were fired including servers Jen, Kayleigh and Rebecca are gone as well as Chef Tommy. Joe is back in the kitchen as Head Chef. In December 2013, Joe Nagy renamed and redecorated the restaurant. Mill Street Bistro in Ohio was relaunched as Maple City Tavern, a family friendly restaurant and the reviews are mostly negative. In January 2014, Joe from Mill Street Bistro sued Gordon Ramsay's production company for missing items and damage to the restaurant. He settled the claim for £900 compensation. Mill Street Bistro closed in February 2016 as Joe felt it was the right time to sell up. The restaurant was sold for $140,000 in March 2016. Most of the recent Yelp reviewsprior to closure were 1 star reviews and reviews on Trip Advisor were not much better. The negative reviews are mostly due to poor quality, bland and over priced food. Mill Street Bistro was aired on March 1st and 8th 2013, the episode was filmed in July 2012 and is Kitchen Nightmares season 6 episode 10 and 11.

"I'm self taught by some of the best chefs in Europe" Let's just let that sink in for a bit.

Joe starting to talk the customers after the fight was hilarious, absolutely npc moment

I recently learned that only 16% of the restaurants from this show are still open. People say it’s a failure on the shows part when in reality it’s on the owner for not keeping up on the changes/thinking they know better than the man who owns 58 restaurants and has spent over 30 years cooking.

Joe saying “I was taught by old school Europeans” is a joke to actual Europeans. There’s no such thing as 'old school Europeans' and if you’re not professionally taught you’re just a cook, not a chef

Can you believe joe had the audacity to sue Gordon and the production years later??? This has to be the worst owner ever like why did Gordon even bother?? With all the information he got, he should’ve kicked joe out, he was straight up harassing his staff. At this point I’m watching kitchen nightmares for behavioral science purposes 💀

22:17 His Sous Chef trying not to laugh the entire time is just perfect 🤣

I thought Joe was going to apologise for all the stress he had caused. instead it was an "I can change/ we can change" speech straight out of Rocky IV.

Joe: “you’re my twin” Gordon: “I can cook” Destroyed

27:33 is such an underappreciated moment, looking over to TOMMY and calling him chef and not doing the same for Joe. Followed by how quickly Joe got triggered by that. Ramsay is a legend.

27:43 someone just chillin on the roof lol

The staff pissing themselves laughing while Gordon tears this guy a new one is the greatest thing ever.

That sous chef is amazing, and Gordon knows it. Trusted him to cook the burgers and knocked out the service after kicking Joe out the kitchen. Man I hope he's doing better for himself. He deserves it.

The name tags 😄 I love how immediately ready the staff are to just rip them off.

29:46 how quickly he can change to being false when he realises customers can hear him bitching at his staff 😂😊

“ I’m going to get a bite to eat” K/O move. Joe soul was stolen in that moment 😂

“He is being so critical” Dude there was a literal rock in your ravioli! I think that’s something to be critical about 😅
