* TelevisionGeography: The introduction states that Fremont is just outside of San Francisco. However, there are multiple cities between Fremont and San Francisco and Fremont is not even on the San Francisco Peninsula. San Jose would be a more appropriate city to mention.

* BigDamnHeroes: The owner, Saki, has his wife serve the restaurant's new signature prime rib tableside as part of an effort to involve her more in the business. Being new to the task, she cuts enormous portions, practically giving away the meat. After an entire sports team arrive and all unanimously choose to order the steak, the owner, wife and Ramsay find out that (to their horror) there are only about 2 pounds of Rib left, certainly not enough to serve an entire team. Cue Victor, the head chef (who earlier in the episode was reduced to washing dishes during dinner service because of the lack of help), mentioning that [[BigDamnHeroes he prepared one last rib roast just in case something went wrong]].

** It's not made entirely clear to the viewer just why this is so crucial. Prime rib is different than some other steaks because it takes much longer to prepare properly. First, it (i) sits at room temperature for about two hours, then (ii) spends another two hours in the oven at varying temperatures. Without the "emergency" prime rib, it would have been literally impossible to fill the order and no amount of chef wizardry could have done anything about it.
