By on February 29th, 2008

In this episode, Chef Gordon Ramsey attempts to correct all the problem in an Indian/America cuisine restaurant called Dillon. From the start, things just seem to go wrong. As Ramsey sits down to try out the food, he is confused by the multiple menus, one serving American food and one serving Indian food. He orders a few vegetarian appetizers and soon discovers that they are no vegetarian. Then what he thinks is beef that he ordered, turns out to be lamb. The kitchen claims that they were all flustered by his pressence. Next he goes in to tour the kitchen, only to find it in total disarray. The Indian chef speaks no English. The store has three managers, all which seem to be no help, especially Martin, the general manager. He can always be found on his phone or sleeping on a bench with a female employee combing her fingers through his hair. That night’s dinner service is total chaos with people having to wait a long time for their food. The next day, Ramsay tours more of the restaurant and finds the downstairs room that is full of cockroaches, rotten food, rats, and flies. He is horrified by what he has seem and takes it out on Martin because he should know about all the rotten food and take care of it. After seeing this, he immediately closes down the kitchen and potential saving the lives of the dinner that are in the restaurant. He is also extremely upset that he was served that food yesterday, especially the bag of lettuce that had flies in it that he ate for lunch. Ramsay takes the staff to his restaurant to show them what a kitchen should look like. Ramsay then brings in a team of professionals to complete steam clean the whole restaurant and then he completely redesigns the dining room. The staff returns the next day to a new menu created with the help of the top Indian Cuisine chef in New York, and a whole new look the the dining room. Problems soon arise during the dinner service because they aren’t used to being busy. Food takes a long time to be prepared and then goes out cold. Ramsay is confused as to what all of the managers are there for, because no one is helping. Finally the floor manager steps in, mainly because of Ramsay telling him that it is his time to shine, and saves the rest of the dinner shift. The staff is elated at how much money they made finally. At the end of the week, Gordon sits the owner of the restaurant down and tells him that he needs to get rid of Martin, the general manager, because he is just taking up space and not helping at all. Martin over hears this and loses his cool. Ramsay is finally glad to see that he cares about something. Martin ends up quitting and the owner ends up hiring the Indian chef that was helping out for the week.
