Location: Lighthouse Point, Florida
Gordon might have very well met his mirror counterpart in head chef/owner Andy, whose similar background to Gordon does not excuse his apathy towards his customers and staff, and his overwhelming arrogance due to "specializing" in French cuisine.
Tropes
- Control Freak: Andy himself, to the point that he loses it when someone other than his one waiter takes an order to help speed things up, and is visibly upset when Gordon tasks his sous-chef with cooking a single dish for a night's service.
- Evil Counterpart: At one point in the episode, Gordon notes the similarities between owner/head chef Andy and himself: In addition to both of them being chefs that own their own restaurants, they are both British and have very similar cooking backgrounds. The big difference though is that Gordon cares about his customers while Andy does not.
- French Cuisine Is Haughty: Le Bistro is a French restaurant that has the blessings of being located in an upscale Florida neighborhood. In winning over the approval of the community, they were able to remain in business to this day.
- French Jerk: Averted with Andy, the head chef and owner. While he's is extremely dour throughout the episode, and specializes in French cuisine, he's actually British.
- Happy Ending: Le Bistro is very much still in business, and doing great.
