Location: Islip, New York
A nearly 50-year old restaurant needs a face lift, a more motivated chef, and a more competent owner.
Tropes
- Berserk Button: The episode saw a chef refuse Gordon's cooking, the first time it's ever happened to him. Gordon is, to say the least, not pleased.
- Freudian Excuse: Peter allowed his restaurant's standards to drop sharply to the point that he didn't even care about reprimanding his head chef and sous chef despite their obvious don't-care attitude because his father, the previous owner, never once complimented him and always told him he'd never amount to anything.
- Tranquil Fury: Gordon cooks a plate of sea bass for the owners, but the chef refuses to taste it. You know that shit is about to seriously go down since Gordon simply says, "That's the first time someone's refused to try my food. Now I'm seriously insulted." Sure enough he quickly advises the owners to fire the chef.
