She's trying to say "Queso De Gruyere". Which is a lot harder to pronounce, especially for a non-French speaker.


* EpicFail: Mary's constant mispronunciation of "(queso de) freir". [[EpicFail Spanish is her first language.]]

Gordon travels to Philadelphia to visit a Mexican restaurant called Zocalo. At one point, this restaurant played Cupid to a young couple who met, fell in love and married while working here together. Greg and Mary Russell loved the place so much that they pooled their resources and bought it. However, it seems that Cupid's arrow had a poisoned tip: the restaurant has become an albatross around their necks.

* BittersweetEnding: Zocalo went under in January 2013; it closed for the holidays and never reopened. Greg and Mary divorced in the process. Greg, at least, found his footing again; he married his former waitress Maria (who appeared in the episode) and became the manager for another restaurant, the Walrus Oyster and Ale House.

* BlatantLies: When Gordon notes the pricey nature of the food he asks co-owner Mary who sets the prices, and she tells him her husband Greg does. During a talk with Greg and Mary later, when Gordon is criticizing the quality of the food and pointing out it's practically robbery at those prices, Greg agrees and reveals ''Mary'' is the one who sets the prices and she has apparently changed prices without consulting him. A confused Gordon and Greg confront Mary on this, and she can only start blabbing excuses that [[FromACertainPointOfView she just set the prices based on how much Greg said it took to prepare the dishes]], which Greg notes he still never ''told'' her to set them at those prices.
