Location: Moorpark, California
A delusional, arrogant head chef is the least of Gordon's worries at the supposedly up scale French restaurant.
Tropes
- Country Matters: In possibly the biggest row ever seen in the series, Gordon gets so fed up with Chef Michel's arrogance and stubbornness that they get into a heated profanity-laden argument that ends with Gordon calling him a lazy cunt before storming off.
- French Cuisine Is Haughty: Michel attempted to invoke this trope, but merely put his restaurant in jeopardy in doing so.
- French Jerk: Michel, whose attempts to invoke French Cuisine Is Haughty put his restaurant in jeopardy. Gordon was so disgusted by his arrogance that he called him a "French pig".
- Small Name, Big Ego: Chef Michel. He was frustrated with just about everything Ramsay did and challenged him on all of the attempted changes. At several points, he and Ramsay engaged in shouting matches with each other. At one point, Gordon was so angry at Michel that he seriously considered just walking away from saving the restaurant.
