Gordon Ramsay travels to Baltimore to try to turn around a restaurant that is suffering because its owner, Denise Whiting, has managed to alienate the surrounding community. When Denise opened Café Hon in 1992 it was a roaring success, but as a result of her unwavering business ambition the local community decided to boycott the restaurant, leaving Denise frustrated by falling sales.

* IncompetenceInc: Denise clearly did not think things through, from what we see in the example service. Not only does she stop the service to complain about the artichokes--not after, but ''as'' everyone is working in the kitchen, bringing everything to a standstill and causing things to back up--but also pulled a dozen items off from the available menu (referred to as '86-ing.) It wasn't because they ran out, it was because there were one or two complaints--likely caused by the chefs not being able to keep track of their food because of her mid-service lecture. It was a disaster, needless to say.
