I think they spent over a million on this business because it was the only way to keep it open. They sure as hell weren't getting repeat customers.

2025-03-01 02:46:58 +0000 UTCThis is probably the only episode of Kitchen Nightmares I actually know I've seen before, even if I don't remember it. This one was pretty infamous, to my knowledge.

2025-01-25 09:08:37 +0000 UTCOh man, talking about bosses asking their workers to do odd tasks or things outside of their job description completely brought me back to when I worked at a Pizza place called ABC Pizza (huh funny coincidence) where I had once asked the owner if I could get more hours. He told me to come in early the next morning like an hour before anyone would show up to open. So I did, thinking I was going to be cleaning the restaurant and then helping open or something like that. Nope, he had me follow him in my car all the way back to his house and he had me help him move stuff out and paint because he was moving. Didn't really think much of it at the time, I was just annoyed at having to do manual labor work of any kind and wanted to go back to the restaurant and cook. But I just kinda sucked it up and did it because it was "my job". I was only 18 at the time. Did end up getting like 52 hours that week tho, pretty sure that's the highest I've ever gotten with how much jobs limit hours in the cooking industry.

2025-01-02 22:58:27 +0000 UTCMost people have heard the idiom "give someone a fish, they will eat for a day. Teach them to fish, and they will eat for a lifetime". Basically, helping in small ways is nice, but teaching them how to help themselves is usually better. But I temper that one with this one; "Give a fool a fish, and they'll stink for a week, give them a fishing pole and they'll poke your eye out". There are some people you just can't help and may even lash out at you for trying. Be kind, but be mindful of ungrateful fools who may wish you harm.

2024-12-28 00:36:24 +0000 UTC"Gordon will go in with his life, Sami and I will go on with MY life" That says a lot about Amy right there.

2024-12-20 03:31:18 +0000 UTCI had heard bits and pieces of how absolutely batshit the owners were over the years. And somehow I'm still flabbergasted. Keep these coming, I say. Having your particular history and experience as a restaurant owner makes these very entertaining and informative.

2024-12-19 23:49:04 +0000 UTCMy understanding of the wage rules for American waiters, is that they still have to get minimum wage each month, but the owner is allowed to count their tips towards that goal. So they get a much lower baseline wage, and if they make enough tips to cover minimum wage for that month, then that's all they're entitled to. If they don't make enough on tips in a given month, the owner has to pay out the difference. It's a messed up system in my opinion.

2024-12-15 07:59:37 +0000 UTCam I weird then for actually LIKING the taste of celery? Like legit, as a kid, I used to take whole sticks of it from the fridge, snap off the ends, and eat the stick RAW, no peanut butter or dips or ANYTHING, and I LOVED IT.

2024-12-13 12:30:16 +0000 UTCThis was wild. I’ve never really watched shows like this except for Bar Rescue with John Taffer and it’s actually surprisingly similar, except Bar Rescue delved a little more into the science/methodology behind the business than this show does. That said, I think ABC stands for Absolutely Batshit Crazy and I think Gordon got out while the getting was good. I’m very tempted now to hunt down the follow up episode ahead of the reaction to it.

2024-12-11 18:04:57 +0000 UTCI just want to say love at first sight is real for some people. I moved in with my wife the first day I met her, and we have been together for over 10 years with no issues. I was her first kiss and her first everything else and she still loves me so much and I feel so blessed. She is standing by me even through my gender transition.

2024-12-11 16:54:11 +0000 UTCIf you're reacting to recommended episodes, I recommend next you react to the Sebastian's and/or Burger Kitchen episodes. They're insane. Burger Kitchen is actually a two-parter.

2024-12-11 05:45:49 +0000 UTCCongratulations! You made it through. There are more doosies but this is the craziest one by far!
Draine Weeks
2024-12-10 12:21:04 +0000 UTCYou should look up videos going into Amy's bakery Its a rabbit hole cause god damn its insane
Jaffar Black Fang
2024-12-09 17:42:03 +0000 UTCI'll be honest I want to see what more of you reacting to Gordon. The view of someone attached to food is not one I seen and I actively look for kitchen nightmares/ hells kitchen reactions.

2024-12-09 05:41:40 +0000 UTCwas the reason only he would work the machine so he could launder money perhaps?

REI
2024-12-07 23:13:20 +0000 UTCHow is it minimum wage if it's not the minimum.
xxDrain
2024-12-07 14:42:33 +0000 UTCYou know, I get the feeling that when Gordon gave the waitress a tip around 59:12 in this video, Amy saw it as him paying for some dirt or info that she shared or something negative, and thus a betrayal of sorts. Might explain why things derailed even further so quickly, and why she let her go......if that was the same person she let go. I think it was.

2024-12-07 06:05:23 +0000 UTCOH YEA sorry I know I talk a lot and I know it comes across as creepy and off putting I swear this is just the way my brain works. um....when you first said the code word was ABC the first thing that popped into my head was The Jackson Five because I'm old and my brain is random like that so now . . . it's stuck in my head. HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

2024-12-07 03:24:53 +0000 UTCI know nothing about the food service business specifically but I've worked in different types of customer service my entire life. I like hearing the discussions you have during these reactions because it's always interesting to hear the thoughts of someone who really knows about the subject matter of whatever their reacting to. Also, um those two were just plain unsalted nuts. How in the HELL do you screw up an order so badly that the customer sends back their drink? I'm sorry, I don't know what career that woman is best suited for but it's nothing to do with customer service that's for DAMN sure.

2024-12-06 23:39:04 +0000 UTCTo be honest, I thought this episode might have been that one where Gordon orders the thin crust pizza and instead get's the EXTRA THICC or even the pasta restaurant turned drive-through. Was not expecting her to witness the only establishment that Gordon outright had to walk away from so soon (and that's saying a lot because there is several seasons of this show).
Connor Clemmons
2024-12-06 21:21:23 +0000 UTCThe one consistency with all the reactions to this episode is that people always notice the owners crazy eyes, also, sammy once attacked a customer with a fork some time after the episode.

2024-12-06 21:20:16 +0000 UTCI watch the intro but skip the secret phrase, you cant control me, become ungovernable everyone
Polarbear Bowl
2024-12-06 21:00:40 +0000 UTCI like the taste of truffle but a lot of places go overboard with it and every other dish has some sort of truffle whatever. It's a once in a blue moon type of food
Malcorpse
2024-12-06 20:44:40 +0000 UTCI cant believe Alicia was bullied into watching the best episode early. No reason to watch any more 🤣🤣🤣

2024-12-06 19:38:14 +0000 UTCGod, this is the craziest of the Kitchen Nightmares. I literally made popcorn to enjoy with this dumpster fire. Thank you for taking the psychic damage for our enjoyment <3

2024-12-06 19:12:29 +0000 UTCI'll sometimes put hot sauce in my syrup when eating chicken and waffles when I finish the waffle and have chicken left. That's good sweet spice
Jaquan Ford
2024-12-06 18:41:03 +0000 UTCI wish I had the giant mammoth sized balls Gordon has. The ability to confront but not lose control of your emotions just makes me envious.

Nakhtichaos
2024-12-06 11:49:36 +0000 UTCi used to work in a bar in a airport and they used to take my dial tips so we would tell everyone if they want to we can only take cash tips with was ok we didnt get much tips as it was a airport but i was really good at getting tips but then the owns said we can no longer take cash as we stopped at tips 100% so i quit was just a step to far for me
Flip Flop
2024-12-06 10:18:16 +0000 UTC1:14:44 - I had it drilled into me growing up that you always quit, never get fired. Supposedly, it looks better on a resume. It may be the same case here.

2024-12-06 09:54:08 +0000 UTCHoly hell. That burger was wetter than the ones Spongebob cooks.
Justin Bruce
2024-12-06 07:55:10 +0000 UTCI tried my best to watch these through but christ those people are just nauseating to even watch. Actual psychopathy. I legit think the only reason people went there was to get berated at and watch drama unfold like this.
Martin E Melcher
2024-12-06 05:24:33 +0000 UTCNotably, Samy got deported a couple years after this episode because it turned out he lied on his immigration paperwork to cover up convictions for drug trafficking and extortion. Puts his "I am the gangster here, not you!" line in a whole new context...
Linnaeus
2024-12-06 02:15:06 +0000 UTCI definetly agree when it's actual troll reviews or review bombing, which was my suggesting to use that to retaliate against the review bombs from the other restaurant. However, I only found out that this was even a possibility because companies started to abuse this here to delete valid bad reviews and boost their google scores. In my country specific legal advice subreddit are dozens of posts in the last year about receiving these deletion requests and some also including a cease and desist letter from their lawyers to try to bully people into complying.
Zod Bain
2024-12-06 01:20:38 +0000 UTCPersonally, I do like the taste of truffle even if I completely understand the arguments against it
Lucas_Oreki
2024-12-05 23:16:17 +0000 UTCidk I feel like that's fair if someone would like, idk, be trolling online saying shit like "don't go here, I found a fingernail in my food" and in reality that person has never been there
WillGlacier
2024-12-05 23:07:28 +0000 UTCI mean I think some restaurants doing the whole under min wage with tips to compensate that's allowed is fine, but if a restaurants is profitable and can afford to pay minimum wage they should be doing that.
Talon Karrde
2024-12-05 22:58:40 +0000 UTCAbout the google review thing. Here in europe a few "scummy" companies have been forcing people to delete their bad reviews lately unless you can proof that you actually went to the place that you reviewed. You get an email from google saying that you need to provide proof, otherwise your review will be deleted. I don't know what the process for that is to get google to do that for you, probably getting a lawyer involved. But it seems like there is a way to get those reviews removed.
Zod Bain
2024-12-05 22:33:56 +0000 UTCThis is the peak of crazy in this show. There are many that tried to compete but none could topple these two.
Jonathan Canfield
2024-12-05 22:07:56 +0000 UTCABC. Katy (the younger waitress) had been working there for a month when this episode happened and was not allowed taste the food without paying full price out of pocket so she would eat on the way to or from work or at home the entire time she worked there.
Trevor Appel
2024-12-05 21:43:56 +0000 UTCABC ^^
David Willard
2024-12-05 20:53:25 +0000 UTCI worked in a place where the owner didn't trust any server to punch in orders. He trusted only me to do it, and so I had to punch in all the orders myself at rapid speed while serving tables. Also, if I made a rare mistake, I'm the one who had to pay for it since I punched it in wrong. I didn't get paid extra for this responsibility.

2024-12-05 20:43:46 +0000 UTChoo boy... as soon as i saw who this episode was about.... Alicia was not ready
Nick
2024-12-05 20:41:38 +0000 UTCYour reaction to the tips revelation is something I've been waiting for ever since I saw the last one XD
Joey245
2024-12-05 19:28:25 +0000 UTCSo the guy got his money from the mob... he's since been deported to Israel... this restaurant was most likely a money laundering scheme, this ones nuts
Talon Karrde
2024-12-05 17:51:31 +0000 UTCAfter knowing what Alicia does for work in other areas. I NEEDED this reaction lol.
