Gordon Ramsey vs Fake Italian..

if Marzia allows it, i'd actually love to see her reactions to these italian restaurants on kitchen nightmares

My dad was the ACTUAL replacement chef the Gordon Ramsay team hired at this restaurant back when it was still in operation. I still remember meeting Tatiana at that restaurant when I was a kid (after they had filmed and aired the episode of course). It’s honestly surreal seeing Felix do a video on this episode. I’ll ask my dad to see what he remembers and I will share it with you guys. Again, this was years ago lol (edit/update 1) To clarify further, my dad was the replacement for the guy who got fired at 24:08 The chef they talked about finding at 27:54 ended up being my dad (edit/update 2) My dad worked at Charlie’s until they eventually closed 8 months or so after they had filmed the episode (financial reasons I think, the restaurant/chef industry is rough believe it or not). During his time there me, my little brother, and my mom went there and we met Tatiana in person, we went there a few times and she would always talk with us whenever she could, at least until my dad was laid off. The last time we EVER interacted with Tatiana was when my parents sold our old couch to her and that was the last I ever heard about her. She was actually rather friendly and polite in person from what I remember. My dad might still be in contact with her, but I am not sure. (edit/update 3) Thankfully this story has a happy ending, after Charlie's, my dad was able to put his experience there on his resume, which landed him a bunch of other job opportunities. However me and my family eventually grew sick of California, so we moved across the country half a year ago. We now live in New Hampshire, and he's currently working as the executive chef at a super nice seafood restaurant. He loves his job and couldn't ask for anything else :)

21:36 Get this An Italian Restaurant, Owned by an American, Who has a Chef that’s Mexican, That managed to cook Chinese Food instead of Italian Food

I feel so bad. As a Mexican I know Casimiro was making Mexican meatballs (Albondigas). He was making them right. He probably has never made Italian meatballs.

I love that she warned Gordon about the lasagna, literally gave "reduce your expectations to zero"

Lmao, her trying to hug the chef with a crying face, immediately after firing him has big Michael Scott energy.

That waitress is amazing. She wasn't even trying to sugarcoat anything. You could tell Tatiana was mad from how much she was badmouthing her and the food. She was so accurate. Deserves not a tip, but a BAG!

There was an authentic, really delicious French restaurant that opened near me and it went down all because people were mad they didn't serve breakfast, but the owner was a single mother with 3 kids. Shows that even GOOD restaurants go down if they don't appease customers.

My dad was a successful head chef for decades, and one time when I asked him why he didn't want to open his own restaurants he said, and I quote: "because I'm not an idiot.".

Gordon has the capacity to absolutely destroy a person with his words However, as soon as he says “Thankyou, my darling” to the waitress- it is SO endearing

A real restaurant owner knows EVERYTHING that goes down in their establishment. The fact that this woman has no answers for anything is astonishing. It is said that 2/3rds of restaurants fail in the first couple of years. Even if you put in all of the appropriate effort, it is an absolutely brutal industry. I have so much respect for those restaurants that have stayed open despite the pandemic, massive inflation, and supply chain shortages.

Hearing her say ‘it’s pink sauce’ and then ‘she doesn’t know what’s in it’ in this beautiful time of 2023 was gold. ✨Foreshadowing ✨

I love that when the owner tries to gain sympathy, Gordon just drags her back to Earth and tells her he doesn't care and it's her fault.

I love how he goes all in on the owners and chefs but always stays respectful towards the waiters

Sadly the young sous chef, Genevieve, died due to complications from epilepsy not long after the restaurant closed. Honestly a tragic ending. Rest in peace, Genevieve.

Funny how Felix becomes a food critic all of a sudden while at the same time sounding like hes never even cooked noodles before

Living for the gossip between Gordon and the waitress during the taste test

Imagine being Marzia and just randomly hearing pewds scream with an Italian accent while you’re trying to read or feed the dogs ☠️☠️☠️

The head chef took full advantage of the main chicks kindness. She grew fond of him and she thought he was doing his best for her. When he was just lazy and was there to collect a check.

I like how he asks if he can speak English and then when he’s told he can’t he tries to use as many adjectives to describe how upset and terrible they are. Very considerate of him. He is trying to make sure he can understand him with his emotions as well. Good job to Ramsey!!!😁😁😁
