For those of you who know Nichole and I this is not an easy thing for us to do because this was our everything, but without family you've got nothing and they need us right now. He pulls him aside, and again mentions the frozen food. Sebastian brags that he has a franchisable concept, and hopes there will be "Sebastian's all over the world". Gordon declares Sebastian a fake chef and says "That's not cooking".
In a staff meeting, Gordon says the confusion is holding the place back, and they need a new menu. The next day, Gordon brings in two guys to teach the cooks how to toss pizza dough.
The cooks enjoy tossing the pizza themselves. Gordon has the restaurant remodeled, with new tables and chairs, among other things. The staff, including even Sebastian love it. Gordon unveils a state-of-the-art dough machine to help them make fresh dough.
However, Gordon then unveils the new menu. His new menu is much more simple, ridding the restaurant of "the concept", and using the pizza ovens to make real pizzas, and even roast chicken. Sebastian doesn't like it because it lacks uniqueness, and still loves his own menu. The cooks prepare for the dinner service, but Sebastian is still angry about Gordon's new menu, and takes to doing menial tasks, like vacuuming. Gordon attempts to calm him down, but Sebastian only pretends to listen.
The waitresses find their jobs easier with the new menu. It was the lying that made me immediately suspect that this guy was not only incompetent but stupid though. He really thought he was so smart he could slide a lie in front of one of the most talented chefs in the business. All I can imagine is that the guy doesn't actually know what good food tastes like, and assumes like a narcissist would that if he doesn't, a true professional like Gordon wouldn't either.
His poor wife! I hope Lou found a great restaurant though. She deserved it. What a sweet, brave soul she is. The whole staff looked awesome. I'm sorry they had a terrible, dishonest chef abusing them. I think Sebastian should get together with Dave from Black Pearl and Peter from Peter's and start a business specializing in roids, fake tans, lobsters, and chinstraps.
I think that "Tree removal company" means that he started working in the forest cutting trees. But if no one is there to hear it, did it actually happen? Maybe he uses his incessant self-praise to submit the tree into falling, sans-serif equipment. There's a concept. Sans-equipment, that sans-serif drove me nuts. Sans-serif, in my experience, is pertaining to fonts without serifs, sans means without.
So without equipment would be sans-equipment not sans-serif equipment. How do they even survive on something scraped off the floor? This chef deserved to close.
He asked for help then kept talking about how wonderful his food was. What an idiot! I wonder what happened to Lou-Bertha and the rest of the staff. Lou was definitely my favorite of them. I hope she did well in another restaurant! Q ended up head chef at Casa Roma, another of Gordon's kitchen nightmares. He's shown in one of the Revisited shows. I know that when I watch Kitchen Nightmares, there are some really good, well-meaning chefs, cooks, and wait staff that I hope have finally landed in good, well-run restaurants somewhere.
They are the ones who I really feel sorry for. I hope that Lou-Bertha found a good job somewhere. It looks like she really cared and had some real talent for pizza. I just watched Gordon Ramsey's kitchen nightmares and was appalled by the inadaptable Chef Sebastian. I only hope now, that the new owners of Robano's adopted most of the original staff featured in that episode.
I liked the staff - I only disliked that terrible chef! I've been trying to track down what happened to Lou, but I can't find her. I hope she ended up somewhere good. This episode really made me think maybe Ramsay should employ a psychologist to help him with some owners. Maybe a whole team of them. There's already got to be at least one psychologist on the team, since I've seen a number of techniques that help people, including in later episodes where they push the people to break before the final night, that way the new decor is less of a shock and more of an invited change that will help them not revert back to their old way of thinking.
When he interviews with them in the middle of some episodes, I can tell the questions are pointed because a psychologist knows something Ramsey doesn't see just yet. The screaming off a cliff, the punching in a gym, that's not just for show but actual psychological techniques to get to men's issues, since it's harder to get them to open up. I'm reasonably sure it's Gordon's own therapist who's on hand to assist with all that. I just wached the episode on TV I knew Sebastian was not going to make it.
He was in his own way. This guy is a mental case. How his old lady stays with him is beyond me. I sure want him raising my kids! Watching the episode again right now, and the guy is so insane. I think in the end, the only reason he went with it, is because he saw it as a role to play. A way to break out and get famous.
Sebastion seemed mentally ill. He was divorced from reality. Sometimes these shows are depressing. In the kitchen, it wasn't rotting produce or the staff's rotten attitudes that had Ramsay cursing in disbelief, but rather who was in there. Support for LAist comes from. Become a sponsor.
