Location: Fishtown, Philadelphia
A potato-themed restaurant suffers from a scathing online review that lowered the locals' view of the already struggling business.
Tropes
- Pass the Popcorn: Gordon makes a short film of complaints about the restaurant and shows it to the staff in a theater. Though it is pretty tense due to the comments, the mood is lightened by everyone having almost comically large bags of popcorn.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Subverted. Ramsay almost went through with his threat to forsake the restaurant for dead because it was clear to ANYONE that everyone except the head chef had given up. The owners had to beg Ramsay to come back after as well as proving that they did care.
- Stopped Caring: The trio of owners have stopped giving a shit about anything in the restaurant, and it was clearly evident in their dinner service that was witnessed by Ramsay. Nobody argued this point because they knew he was right. In fact, it's because of this that Gordon almost, by choice, turned his back on the Hot Potato Café and left, because if the owners don't give a shit anymore, why should he waste his time? They had to beg him to return.
