foreign [Music] Harbor in Southern California an Oceanfront playground that attracts throngs of tourists and locals it’s this ideal location that Drew Mikey michelados and his wife Lynn to open a Greek restaurant just Steps From the water hello welcome to the Greek from day one when we opened the restaurant in 1994 it was a success oh my gosh it’s really good we did great it was always busy already guys let’s starting my dad he had that old school Greek work mentality just go go go go and the kitchen was always running very smoothly I need a large pen because I’m going to cook some onion I felt my American dream come through make me feel like very successful very very good But as time went on my dad’s standards have dropped okay I got a complaint guys they said the chef tethers were rock hard he’s been working 365 days a year for 17 years he’s just burning out from being here so long it was rubbery what do you mean robbery I don’t know there’s no robbery monkey I mean he hardly anymore is making sure that everything is cooked to Perfection that sounds good it hurts me when I see our level drop because the standards are not high enough I’m done lamb is very dry [Laughter] Mikey’s really let a lot of things slip through the cracks the calamari was really really I taste the calamari it was good well it’s not like it okay and that’s why our business has declined [Music] very many people around the situation is frustrating but I want to change this place I want to make it better I haven’t learned everything but I will I know I can I mean I’m very capable and I know I can make it better than ever my dad has a hard time listening to other people sometimes because this is what he created but I’m here to help I mean he wants to make sure I’m 100 ready but I can’t be 100 ready if he doesn’t allow me to be I need your help he’s a great Entertainer great people person but at the same time how are you going to help me run a restaurant if you don’t know the kitchen to run this restaurant you have to come back here at this kitchen and Aries you know have done this before [Music] this restaurant is not only my father’s Legacy it’s all of our Legacy we’ve all worked together and I’ve seen the profit pretty much diminished until it’s been non-existent how much money do we have in our account right now we’re getting low we’re getting low I don’t know how I’m gonna do this it’s like we work our asses off and we don’t make any money it’s word oh my God I’m just hoping that Chef Ramsay will help us get this restaurant to be the success it deserves to be I don’t want what we’ve spent years building up fast I just don’t want that to happen [Music] wow look at this place absolutely stunning on the water it’s almost like a little slice of the Mediterranean I’m fairly busy as well how on Earth can a restaurant fail in this spot time to find out what’s been going on it’s huge great food on the water hello well hello how are you I’m excellent my first name is

to see Chef Ramsay and I hope he’s pretty nice to my voice not too nice okay um I am very happy to be here B I’m dying to find out what’s wrong with the place How could a restaurant not work when it’s sat on the water nice okay mum uh 17 years it was very successful and we did very very well so when did it start to turn the last couple of years not profitable yeah wow okay um and how often are you here when I work 14 hours a day seven days a week but seven days a week yeah that’s a true serious that’s crazy it is crazy he’s been doing it too long he’s burnt down and he might not admit it but he is are you in downtown no no no no you’re gonna sit in that kitchen till you drop I mean where’s the succession there’s the goal to groom Iris would take over or no no well I’m here and I’m doing all the a lot of stuff right now I mean sure do you work in the kitchen I don’t but that’s one of my goals I want to learn the kitchen it’s one of my I’m glad you’re here because I want to learn more stuff and did you teach him how to cook no ready what is he not good enough are you that much of a control freak no no no no is he not committed I feel like I’m pulling teeth here back in my mind I expect him to be more here than he was so he’s not committed he is getting the passion he never really wanted when he graduated I never thought I would do he didn’t want to be part of our business well I mean I’m here just trying to save this place and it’s just are you committed now I am committed here I am you are yes I am [Music] I understand like yeah I haven’t been here at times but I need Chef Ramsay to prove to my dad that I’m ready to do whatever it takes to make this place run better and smoothly and it’s time for big changes this is the time so how would you rate your food out of 10 what would you give it my food I give it 10 10 yes right let me eat let me uh get the grips good to see you nice to meet you likewise and um okay all the recipes that I have for the Greek food came

Brilliance I think we’re done thank you I’m very excited San Francis he needs to see when the food is not good and everything is not good calamari appetizer make it hit the olive oil and put onions and bell peppers with the wine you guys do what I said Mike is a very proud person he does not take criticism well but Jeff Ramsey is here to help he’s not here to compliment hmm nice tables why would you cover them table cloths the deck always hideous I haven’t seen chairs like this since they’re bankrupt 30 years ago my grandma’s 80th just got ball up there Saturday Night Fever in fact it’s like there’s two disco balls up there what’s going on it’s like going back to 1970. okay that that’s like a limo okay heaven or hell oh dear and this is our Coldplay okay okay great thank you thank you reason it looks like I’m having a hell day right yeah it’s not yeah it’s not it’s not good yeah it’s terrible can I take it away quickly I know [Music] it is very popular that’s a strange looking hummus seriously no the only way to do that is this straw Greek dips it looks like six plates of Greek dog [ __ ] that’s what it goes in like imagine what’s going to come out like my game I mean you have to be really idiot to make the hummus watery this is our hot sampler wow okay Jesus meatballs are cold in the middle Falafel look like they’ve been sat on my [ __ ] Greek goddess yeah no and the Philippines a lot of filo paste but hardly anything in them yeah they’re in Greasy very shiny yeah not good they’re terrible there’s no filling in there thank you thank you the taste of Grease yeah tasted greasy [Music] what the [ __ ] is that what is that this is that’s for The Roasted uh potatoes okay great thank you thank you I enjoy it well soccer strap him is shocking so bad Dreadful Dimitri the eggplant is spongy and raw you’re having the musaka yeah it’s disgusting carrots and mush that is an insult to any Greek aisle listen can you get me all the chefs in the kitchen out on the Dance Floor I’d like to meet them please okay guys all of the cooks he want them over there he wants all the cook everybody [Music] I mean Falafel sucks to me it wasn’t good I saw some of my foot is not the way he was describing the food oh dear dear oh dear I do that was a disaster I mean I’ve just sat down and had the biggest [ __ ] embarrassment to Greece that I’ve ever tasted in my entire life the platter Bland Falafel dry and the biggest kick in my Greek Johannes liquid hummus liquids the Greek moussaka eggplant undercooked bitter there’s an insult not just the grease but to the vegetable itself did anyone taste it of course it’s wrong it’s done wrong come on that’s frightening what hurts me is the fact you’re actually realizing that it’s [ __ ] and still sending it I can’t do anything about it I’m Greek I grew up with this suit but I’m not allowed to cook the food the way I’m cooked in Greece here I’m following my kids way and he’s tired Mikey have you given up no you run your business like you’ve given up no no it’s not true I don’t believe that my food is that terrible okay my food is similar kefalonia do you think it’s similar to Catalonia yes sir yeah not today my friend your calamari is greasy it’s bland how come I have all these people says my Kalama is the best I ever have the blowing smoke up your ass you’re not that stupid thousands of people no stop exaggerating where are the thousands of people that tell you that your calamari is the best are they booked in for dinner tonight [Music] you came from Greece you bring it over you make it better here we’ve made it worse I get really upset when Seth Ramses talk to me like that I know how that food is and the people love it and he has no clue about the food here [Music] the town of Ventura is a buzz with Chef Ramsay’s visit how y’all doing and as the restaurant fills up with diners are you ready Chef Ramsay is anxious to begin his kitchen investigation during dinner service so what are you doing service how do you work what do you do what I do here yeah yeah I watch I watch a new expedites I do if I have to wow what are the TOs systems POS it’s right here Marika Marika there’s my daughter right there hello Hi how are you nice to meet you good to see you too I think Chef Ramsey doesn’t know what he’s stepping into my dad is just like really set in his ways and what’s that for just the men’s onions and this is vegetables baked carrots and just take out whatever is for the order each order that’s not good but I’m not leading the kitchen so I don’t really have a saying over there it’s always cooked it’s cooking right now yeah no it’s not cooking it’s cooked yeah we’re cooking food and it’s it’s sitting there drying out it’s all cooked to [ __ ] it doesn’t look like a cafeteria to you no God bless California [Music] with so much of the food prepared in advance are you happy with that yes this restaurant has no problem sending dishes out at a rapid Pace hey about 10 table 15 table 91 please ready calamari chicken caesar salad this food normally come out this quick lately yeah it’s like sort of flying out okay it’s running take it take it oh my gosh Mikey do not tell them anything you’re saying it to the chefs what do you want me to say keep going everything all right back here get them out it’s just ridiculous like I’m not trying to stop you I’m trying to help you but my dad he gets so egotistical about it sometimes it’s like I’m just this little eight-year-old getting barked at your arms yeah yeah I just need to cool off after that oh no no I can see the tension your father’s there Expediting the food letting it go sauce dripping all over the side and it’s almost like he’s given up I mean was he like that 10 years ago no I think he’s just physically exhausted and he’s been working 15 hours a day his whole life I mean imagine that do you ever sit down and say dad you know it’s so obvious where we’re going wrong and I want to help but he doesn’t want to listen he’s so stubborn man I don’t know man it’s just horrific this has turned out to be a very funny Greek restaurant a little bit different than what I expected unfortunately for the diners the restaurant is also different from what they expected more and they were still raw oh God as Trey this is cold after Trey the lamb chops are supposed to be rare after Trey Blood gets sent back to the kitchen oh my God unbelievably there’s almost as much food coming back as there is going out Dad how you doing don’t bother me go dance go dance the situation is frustrating obviously if we have problems with this restaurant but I don’t know what to do exactly you ready huh yeah I’ll announce it right now hello everybody Welcome to the Greek at the harbor my name is Eris uh we’re gonna perform a little dancing for you right now so please enjoy the show there’s more dances to come hello [Music] [Applause] [Music] what’s that cleft thing going on Greek dancing and the belly dancing and really yeah [Music] I’m [ __ ] believable [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now I get what he’s passionate about [Applause] [Applause] finally something edible despite Eris pleasing some of the diners with his dancing [Music] they continue to be far from pleased with the food the batter on the fish and chips was still slimy the roast lamb was inedible give me Aries please oh and they said all of it was lukewarm where’s Mike what is it to smell that just not inside there inside what’s wrong with that eat a little bit I’m not eating nice smell yes it’s what it’s good you’re sick Mike you’re sick man I’m very worried about Mikey because it should be obvious when something’s not cooked properly there’s no way that you can say oh well they were just complainers it’s real Harris you need to know what’s going on here as well as far as your father’s concerned it’s good there’s nothing wrong with it let’s try yourself he’s not even a chef and he knows it’s dry come on Mike you stood down and watch that [ __ ] come out it’s an embarrassment the Catalonia I knew this was going to happen my dad he’s not stupid he’s a great cook but he also isn’t denial bit he’s the type of person like asking for help maybe is a sense of failure to him my emotions are deeply hurt from what Seth Ramsay says hey are you just relaxing yeah it’s just really sad you know just an older man that can’t really handle it all I love you amazing I just don’t like it when my dad is so sad [Music] it’s an hour and a half into dinner service they don’t like any of it and even though food is flooding back to the kitchen you stood down and watched that [ __ ] come out it’s an embarrassment to Catalonia Mikey seems to have lost interest it’s almost like he doesn’t it’s just what do you want me to say I don’t feel good wearing Seafood tell me about my yeah what’s happening I don’t know but why are you doing this to yourself what do you want me to do I want you to wake up a little bit you’re letting it happen under your nose what do you know I’m just saying something to be a little bit more [ __ ] honest with yourself and never lie okay but how come you haven’t taught Harris anything how can we have nothing by your side why haven’t you treated him like a son what is it none of things Something’s Happened and you better tell me what I don’t know yes you do I don’t have to say nothing don’t act like that you can’t just give up come on how we doing no we’re not doing well we’re not doing well it has to be a little bit more honest with us I’m not honest no you’re paying the price for it I don’t understand why you’re not closer to your father I don’t understand why you’re not open with that big Greek heart of yours I I I don’t get it it’s time to change you know it’s gonna need a commitment from you a commitment and his father son and if you’ve got any chance of carrying on this Legacy then you need to be by his side you won’t teach me with anything it doesn’t make sense have a word with him have a word I’m struggling [ __ ] me I didn’t sit down man tired I don’t want you to struggle here anymore I’m fine dad just let me let me let me help let me help you I want you to be ready I told you that before us I know it was my dad even though he loves me and I love him it’s just it’s almost like I’m not good enough for him it’s a shitty feeling it hurts I love you [Music] [Music] Gordon is still completely mystified by Mikey’s lack of mentoring of Eris you’ve got two minutes we’ll catch up okay please Annie is only one other person to turn to for answers so I’d love to hear from you you know why have they been ignoring each other well when heiress went to college he never really wanted to be here and most of the time he wouldn’t be here at all he’d come like at night to dance and so forth and when he graduated from college we had his party here so we had I mean the place was full we had 100 people here so and when he was doing his little speech and thanking people for coming and everything you know he announced I’m gonna make something of my life I’m not working in the restaurant what in front of all the stuff in front of all of his friends wow I mean how rude you paid the fees for the college it comes back and hosts the party in his parents restaurants and then shits on them from a great height I remember that very well that was as if what we’ve done all these years was like uh worthless is Mikey sort of hers do you think he still holds it against him yeah does he yeah it’s he really does unbelievable it hurt us very bad [Music] I’ve always remembered it I’ve never discussed it never talked about it but it hurt Gordon has finally learned the real truth behind what’s tearing this family apart he announced I’m gonna make something of my life I’m not working in the restaurant what and now Mike and Eris arrive at the restaurant unaware of what he has just uncovered please I want to tell you something really important I’m [ __ ] up with you and I’ll tell you why I don’t think that you’ve quite understood the level of support that you’ve had in and out of here and so when you turn around and told all your friends and your parents restaurant that you’re gonna make something out yourself almost in a way that you are disgusted with being brought up in a restaurant and this wasn’t you you were above that well it wasn’t me being above it it was just I didn’t know if it was the way you declared it wasn’t good enough for you well this was before I know yes but you did it and you shat on your own doorstep I wasn’t sitting on that I love my family I’m telling you you did well I was I was confused at the time too I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life I went to college I didn’t know if the restaurant business was something I was going to do and I didn’t know if I was ready to do it but I don’t think you’ve ever understood the ramifications of a announcement like that how did you feel truly about that statement my son when I say something like that it hurts me yeah thank you I mean I I’m not perfect no I’m just saying look no no if you’ve got anything to say yeah I’d say to your mom and dad take the opportunity to give a little bit of privacy I [Music] I just see how we struggle as a family regardless if we’re making money or not we we kill ourselves here and I didn’t want to kill myself either not in a selfish way I just didn’t want to I don’t know but I guess I remember it because it really hurt me when you said it I remember it and I don’t think there’s anything that we’ve ever talked about and I sincerely apologize for saying that because that was so wrong of me Mom Dad I’m sorry yeah I love you too I think Mikey hasn’t really taken era seriously because he’s never really gotten himself committed but that has changed and for him to make this declaration with such passion he’s definitely committed I 100 believe that everything’s gonna work as well [Music] after heiress cleared the air with his parents Chef Ramsay is still concerned about his commitment okay so I’ve been doing some thinking why are you hung around so long it’s my family it’s like I don’t we don’t give up on a family and this is my my home too so I love this place and I want to fix it but I don’t know if you’re committed enough that’s all because it’s not about dancing on the dance floor but if you put that determination that you put on that [ __ ] Dance Floor last night carrying all those [ __ ] tables in your mouth in the kitchen trust me you’ll be Untouchable here that’s what I want I know at one point I wouldn’t believe to me either I’ve changed I know I can do this I just need support and I just need my dad would help me so you say you’re committed I am committed yes and you say that you’re committed yes yes so put both your hands together let go now oh [ __ ] yep even if I’m right-handed don’t care don’t care because you’re not cooking you’re gonna be taught now look at me for the very first time in the history of Father and Son get into that kitchen and show him something I don’t care if it’s a simple Greek salad a roasted fresh or whether it’s a stunning hummus I don’t care but show him yeah now [Music] why don’t pull me too much now don’t be a bull getting handcuffed was a funny experience I’m gonna need a plate to put it in all right we’re about to walk with you my dad kind of like this bull trying to attract me let’s make a pasta you want pasta this is exactly what I’ve been looking for to have this opportunity so let’s do it okay slice the Tomato yeah I can do it how’s that good okay let’s put the onions [Music] we’re gonna wait on the garlic right yeah if it cooks faster any seasonings that we put in or anything let’s put some black pepper a little sprinkle yeah yeah you want me to add some of the sauce yeah cooking with my dad was great reducing a little bit and then we’re done it really alleviated a lot of tension and I’m proving them right now I’m gonna learn the kitchen and I guess the only way you could ever learn is just to do it right it’s pretty good huh very good tastes great totally it was a lot of fun for me and Harris to be that way and I see that Aries as a passionate about this restaurant and I’m very proud Gordon we got it done show me what is that Greek pasta did you listen to your father I did yeah how is that oh yeah it’s nice I’ve seen more consistency in this plate than I did in the whole of service last night it did my heart good because this was a turning point this was the first time that Mikey has ever really shown Eric any Greek cooking thank you I have very strong feelings about my boy that he’s not a boy any longer he’s a man and I’m ready to back off a little out of the way his way are you committed to do it of course yeah what I know I would teach you everything okay okay so that’s what I want [Music] now that it appears as though Mikey is finally passing the torch to Eris Chef Ramsay and his team move ahead with the restaurant makeover [Music] good morning good morning good morning ready for a stunning new change yeah good today we are saying goodbye to the Past and opening the doors to your new future ready to see a restaurant off you go going going wow welcome to the new Greek nice it’s amazing wow it’s so beautiful it’s so beautiful when I first walked in here I saw a banquet hall with

Dude that eats tables better neverrr turn into a zombie.. he’ll bite ya limbs off one by one
one of great episode in KT.
love this episode!
This one made my heart hurt , then feel great, good for them
I liked the old decorations — lovely episode
Gordon doesn't just make thyme, he makes time for people
The people watching the plates go back and still eating there.😂
Personally I dont mind a bit of a show if it fits the theme, its abit of a circus show. The lady is pretty, the belly dance is pleasing. The tricks on biting the table is also pretty impressive, and fun to watch. The important thing is that they have the space for it. I dont really mind it. But it would mean i only come for occasions, not a place i would come for like weekly or something.
For the love of all that is holy… cover Mike's hair. Sorry, cook throwback syndrome. ❤😂
A heartfelt apology goes a long way😢❤❤❤
Gordon heard "belly dancing" and started having flashbacks hahaha
@12:20 I think its so ridiculous and offending to say Gordon "Knows nothing about the food here."… Are you serious? Gordon is a MASTER at his craft, i think he knows about almost EVERY culture of food.
This place is being run like a fast food restaurant.
@15:23 Smiling "Thank you!" … Takes bite, face falls…
The owner feels like if he accepts help, then he's a failure. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ACCEPTING HELP! If you need help, and deny it, then you most definitely WILL FAIL.
Growing up in a suburb of Chicago Illinois, there was a small food place called The Greek. Their specialty was Gyros. they were amazing! That was a good 25-30 years ago, so i doubt it was the same owners… But their sign looks the same if i recall it correctly… Maybe they relocated, and expanded to a full sized restaurant..?
Guy killed it expiditing for the first time 🤯
THEY are hurt… And who gives a fuck what the son wants… Did anybody bothered to even ask him.
Honestly yeah I feel like it could have been said better but honestly I don't even think he even meant it that way and I think that instead of making it all Aris's fault I feel like honestly the two parents taking the idiotic words of a teenager and still shitting on him for years later after he came back. I know I said stupid shit as a teenager and my parents aren't idiots like these two and holding onto the way he had worded it. He is different from a snot nosed brat. If they were going to treat him like that they should have just never let him come back
Nothing feels better than finding a kitchen nightmares episode you have yet to watch
When he said finally something edible about the table. I lost it 🤣😂😂
Aris was awesome.. he really proved himself at the end.
