1. - This week
I'm in Paris,Copy !req
2. but just as I
thought it was safeCopy !req
3. to go back in the kitchen,Copy !req
4. - Stop it.Copy !req
5. Get out.Copy !req
6. - Jesus XXX, what's the matter?Copy !req
7. - Let go.Copy !req
8. I've seen some bad
kitchens in my time,Copy !req
9. but not quite as disorganised
and fucking chaotic as this.Copy !req
10. I think you're a fake.Copy !req
11. - Well, I'm just gonna leave.Copy !req
12. - Just Gordon Ramsay's
gonna fucking leave.Copy !req
13. - You're lazy, you put
nothing into itCopy !req
14. and you deserve a kick
up the fucking arse.Copy !req
15. Paris, France, capital
of the culinary worldCopy !req
16. and a city where I spent my
formative years as a chef.Copy !req
17. Having lived here for
three years,Copy !req
18. I'm just so happy to be
back in Paris.Copy !req
19. The French are a nation
of meat lovers,Copy !req
20. each eating an average of 90
kilos of the stuff every year.Copy !req
21. A vegetarian
restaurant in Paris.Copy !req
22. My God!Copy !req
23. In the heart of The Marie,Copy !req
24. one of Paris's premier
neighbourhoodsCopy !req
25. for gastronomic delights,Copy !req
26. Piccolo Teatro, a tiny
vegetarian restaurantCopy !req
27. run by Scot, Rachel McNelly,
is struggling to survive.Copy !req
28. - It's nice to be your
own boss, if you like,Copy !req
29. but it's also very stressful,
you know.Copy !req
30. I think if the restaurant
was doing wellCopy !req
31. and it didn't have all
the debts that it had,Copy !req
32. then I would probably be
sleeping a lot better.Copy !req
33. - Millions of hungry
Parisians and touristsCopy !req
34. flock past every day.Copy !req
35. But only a few are
choosing to eat at Piccolo,Copy !req
36. and those that do
wish they hadn't.Copy !req
37. Since Rachel took over
the business,Copy !req
38. she's been losing nearly five
and a half grand every month.Copy !req
39. The debts are spiralling
out of controlCopy !req
40. And if things don't pick up,Copy !req
41. she'll be closed in
three months.Copy !req
42. Piccolo Teatro, fuck me,
this is a first.Copy !req
43. I spent 3 years working my
butt off in a Parisian kitchen,Copy !req
44. and I know just how
tough it can be.Copy !req
45. Hello.
- Hello.Copy !req
46. - How are you?Copy !req
47. - I'm well thank you,Copy !req
48. nice to meet you.
- Nice to see you.Copy !req
49. Likewise, good to see you too.Copy !req
50. Now, how does a beautiful
Scot find herselfCopy !req
51. in the middle of Paris running
a vegetarian restaurant?Copy !req
52. - How did I
end up in Paris?Copy !req
53. - Yeah.Copy !req
54. - A Frenchman originally.Copy !req
55. - Oh, okay.Copy !req
56. - Well, I'm vegetarian
for, since, I can remember,Copy !req
57. so I was attracted to
this restaurant.Copy !req
58. - Brilliant, I'm
dying to get in.Copy !req
59. The quicker I can get in,
the quicker I can get out.Copy !req
60. - Indeed.Copy !req
61. - I'm joking.Copy !req
62. Look at the size of it,
it's minute.Copy !req
63. Rachel runs the placeCopy !req
64. with the help of her
best friend, Stephanie,Copy !req
65. her only waitress.Copy !req
66. You've been friends since four?Copy !req
67. - Yeah.
- Yeah.Copy !req
68. - Amazing.Copy !req
69. There are just two chefs,Copy !req
70. commis chef Fiona only
works three mornings a week.Copy !req
71. Daniel is the head chef
and resident philosopher.Copy !req
72. - Daniel.Copy !req
73. - aniel, (speaking in
foreign language).Copy !req
74. (Daniel speaking in
foreign language).Copy !req
75. (Gordon speaking in
foreign language).Copy !req
76. Where is the kitchen?Copy !req
77. Is this one from
Glasgow as well?Copy !req
78. Where's he from?Copy !req
79. - Brazil.Copy !req
80. - He's Brazilian, okay.Copy !req
81. What dish would you like
to recommend for lunch?Copy !req
82. (Daniel speaking in
foreign language).Copy !req
83. - Yeah, it's
absolutely delicious.Copy !req
84. It's not on the menu
at the moment.Copy !req
85. - Is this normal?Copy !req
86. - Oh, yes.Copy !req
87. - Yes.Copy !req
88. Welcome to the madhouse.Copy !req
89. So you've got a pistachio nut,Copy !req
90. a walnut and now a
Brazilian nut.Copy !req
91. Classic.Copy !req
92. - And there was a couple
here the other day,Copy !req
93. who had just got
engaged that day,Copy !req
94. and they ordered the humus,Copy !req
95. and they said it was the bestCopy !req
96. they'd ever had in their lives.Copy !req
97. - That's amazing.Copy !req
98. - So, you might want to try it.Copy !req
99. I cannot believe I'm sat
here in the middle of Paris.Copy !req
100. If my chefs, Monsieur Guy
Savoy and Joel Robuchon,Copy !req
101. could see me now, they would
beat the crap out of me,Copy !req
102. you know that?Copy !req
103. To start, the famous
humus salad,Copy !req
104. topped with raisins and
dried onions.Copy !req
105. Get off there.Copy !req
106. I love humus, but
that's disgusting.Copy !req
107. So how would you
describe the food?Copy !req
108. - Not particularly
spectacularly exceptional.Copy !req
109. - Is this girl for real?Copy !req
110. Fucking hell.Copy !req
111. Next up, carrot gratin.Copy !req
112. Which if done properly,Copy !req
113. should have a gorgeous
bubbling cheese crust.Copy !req
114. Okay, so that's the
gratin there?Copy !req
115. - Yeah, bon appetite.Copy !req
116. - Hoo, hoo-hoo!Copy !req
117. Ugh!Copy !req
118. It's almost a bit of an
insult to a vegetarian.Copy !req
119. Fine, they don't eat meat,Copy !req
120. but they deserve some
form of respectCopy !req
121. in terms of cooking
vegetables properly.Copy !req
122. Steph, have you got two
minutes please?Copy !req
123. - Okay.Copy !req
124. - Yeah.Copy !req
125. Time for this bunch of
jokers to face the music.Copy !req
126. The joking and the fun and
the singing and all that crap,Copy !req
127. that's fine when you've
got a success.Copy !req
128. The food was shit.Copy !req
129. It wasn't nearly there.Copy !req
130. It was a mess.Copy !req
131. - Most of the customers
that come hereCopy !req
132. do actually leave satisfied
and do enjoy the food.Copy !req
133. - Okay, I'm deeply concerned,Copy !req
134. because I've got to get him
in the right frame of mind,Copy !req
135. and standing out being
a vegetarian restaurantCopy !req
136. in the middle of Paris,
it's a fucking hard task.Copy !req
137. - Okay.Copy !req
138. - Thank you.Copy !req
139. Bad food and bad attitude,
this is going to be tough.Copy !req
140. There's a lot riding
on Piccolo succeeding,Copy !req
141. Rachel's got a young
son to supportCopy !req
142. and her dad has invested
at least 50,000 poundsCopy !req
143. in the business.Copy !req
144. She needs to spill the beans.Copy !req
145. You haven't paid rent
since last October?Copy !req
146. - Since October, 1,600 a month.Copy !req
147. - Fuck me.Copy !req
148. And the tax man's owed
10,000 euros.Copy !req
149. There is a bank loan
which hasn't been paid,Copy !req
150. for, about six months.Copy !req
151. - It's going to take a
lot of hard workCopy !req
152. to pull Piccolo back
from the brink.Copy !req
153. And, seriously, how badly do
you want to save the business?Copy !req
154. - Badly, yeah, absolutely, yeah.Copy !req
155. Of course I do, I don't have
anything else here, you know,Copy !req
156. it's my life, it's
my livelihood.Copy !req
157. Piccolo clearly needs a
massive shake-up,Copy !req
158. but before I make any changes,Copy !req
159. I need to see how Daniel
runs the kitchen.Copy !req
160. It's Saturday night,Copy !req
161. but at 7:00 p.m., with the
first table already seated,Copy !req
162. Rachel seems agitated.Copy !req
163. - He's not ready,Copy !req
164. and there's hardly
anything on the menu, so—Copy !req
165. - He's not ready?Copy !req
166. - If you'd like to do
some cooking yourself.Copy !req
167. - What's he been doing
for the last three hours,Copy !req
168. that's what I want to know?Copy !req
169. - Oh, he's pretty chilled out,
that's just the way he is.Copy !req
170. - Daniel's first order
is for two garden salads.Copy !req
171. Almost 20 minutes later,Copy !req
172. he's still fiddling
with the salads.Copy !req
173. Is this how he
normally functions?Copy !req
174. - I would say so.Copy !req
175. - This is a joke.Copy !req
176. I've never seen anything
like this, Rachel.Copy !req
177. - I've not seen
anything like this.Copy !req
178. - This Brazilian nut has
lost his marbles.Copy !req
179. It's burning.Copy !req
180. (Gordon speaking in foreign
language) It's burnt.Copy !req
181. Rache, there's a pan
here burning.Copy !req
182. I'm trying to change
the pan for himCopy !req
183. and he's just telling
me to leave it there.Copy !req
184. What's the matter with him?Copy !req
185. Less, less, less, less, less.Copy !req
186. There are now eight
people in the restaurantCopy !req
187. and barely anyone is
getting served.Copy !req
188. I mean, I've seen some
bad kitchens in my time,Copy !req
189. but not quite as disorganised
and fucking chaotic as this.Copy !req
190. Daniel is clearly hard to
handle, but Rachel is the boss.Copy !req
191. - Are you alright?Copy !req
192. - No, I'm not alright, I'm
really fucking pissed off.Copy !req
193. In three fucking hoursCopy !req
194. he could have made a
fucking dish or two,Copy !req
195. and he's fucking doing
it on purpose.Copy !req
196. He should be fucking ashamed,
I'm ashamed.Copy !req
197. I'm fucking ashamed to go and
see any fucking customers.Copy !req
198. - This guy's killing
your business.Copy !req
199. This is so sad, you know that?Copy !req
200. - Well, he needs to get
his fucking act in gearCopy !req
201. and he needs to do something,Copy !req
202. 'cause we're gonna
fucking fall out big time.Copy !req
203. Anyway, I'm going inside
to see what's going on.Copy !req
204. - Daniel's lack of
respect is disgusting.Copy !req
205. Get him out, send him homeCopy !req
206. and fucking, you know,
salvage something.Copy !req
207. Get some money in the till.Copy !req
208. This is happening now,Copy !req
209. and apparently it happened
last weekend as well.Copy !req
210. The guy's a joke.Copy !req
211. Why is he talking to
the customers?Copy !req
212. We've asked nicely.Copy !req
213. Where are the heavies
when you need them?Copy !req
214. Let's go, come on.Copy !req
215. Come on there, Daniel, please,
let's go.Copy !req
216. Careful, careful.Copy !req
217. Let go.Copy !req
218. What's the matter?Copy !req
219. Let go.Copy !req
220. - Well, it wasn't a very
good experience.Copy !req
221. - It was entertaining.Copy !req
222. - It was entertaining.
- Highly entertaining.Copy !req
223. - It was dinner theatre,Copy !req
224. with the plates crashing
around in the background,Copy !req
225. and our food wasn't very
good, to put it politely.Copy !req
226. The couscous was crunchy,Copy !req
227. the tart was completely
burnt to a crisp.Copy !req
228. - Burnt, quite burnt.Copy !req
229. - It looks like I'm going
to have to take DanielCopy !req
230. to the nut-house myself.Copy !req
231. - He is very hard to control
and that is a problem.Copy !req
232. A fucking shame on a Saturday
night, what a fucking mess.Copy !req
233. - He's still here.Copy !req
234. - Fuck me.Copy !req
235. Fuck me.Copy !req
236. Let's start again.Copy !req
237. We could not have
continued with that.Copy !req
238. - We can't, and I can't take
him back now after that,Copy !req
239. because that's just
totally unexpected,Copy !req
240. it's completely
disrespectful to me.Copy !req
241. - How much did we take?Copy !req
242. - 150 euros, fucking disaster.Copy !req
243. - You may have lost your chef,Copy !req
244. but, fuck me, you've got
your restaurant back.Copy !req
245. I spent 3 years working
in Paris in my early 20s,Copy !req
246. so coming back should have
been a dream come true.Copy !req
247. But last night, vegetarian
restaurant Piccolo TeatroCopy !req
248. hit rock bottom.Copy !req
249. How are we?Copy !req
250. I've called a crisis meeting
with the remaining staff.Copy !req
251. - We're alright.Copy !req
252. - Good, Fiona.Copy !req
253. - Yeah?Copy !req
254. - Enchante.
- Enchante.Copy !req
255. - How are you today?Copy !req
256. - Fine.Copy !req
257. - Good.Copy !req
258. And you are the daytime cook?Copy !req
259. - Morning chef, yeah.Copy !req
260. - Excellent.Copy !req
261. Fiona can't work evenings,Copy !req
262. so Rachel is on the lookout
for a new head chef.Copy !req
263. In the meantime, I'll
need Stephanie to help outCopy !req
264. in the kitchen during service.Copy !req
265. What I'm trying to say to you,Copy !req
266. is when you see how easy
it is, you'll be amazed.Copy !req
267. - I can help for a wee while.Copy !req
268. - A wee while.Copy !req
269. Cooking at this level
doesn't have to be difficult,Copy !req
270. any of us could do it.Copy !req
271. I've only got four days
to turn things around,Copy !req
272. so there needs to be a big
change in attitude round here.Copy !req
273. I know it's nice to have a
little sort of cosy restaurantCopy !req
274. in the middle of The Marie,Copy !req
275. but we've got to start thinkingCopy !req
276. about some form of discipline.Copy !req
277. - Yeah, I think
Daniel is exceptional, and—Copy !req
278. - Can I just say one thing,Copy !req
279. it's very complicated
working for a friend,Copy !req
280. it's very complicated for her,Copy !req
281. and it's very
complicated for me.Copy !req
282. - Friendship, whatever, it's
got nothing to do with it,Copy !req
283. it's a business first.Copy !req
284. - Yes.Copy !req
285. - And the quicker we start
getting our minds roundCopy !req
286. turning it into a business
everything else follows suit.Copy !req
287. But before we do anything,Copy !req
288. and I mean seriously
before we do anything,Copy !req
289. this place needs a good
fucking clean.Copy !req
290. - Clean, yeah.Copy !req
291. - Yeah.Copy !req
292. Rachel opens for
lunch at weekends,Copy !req
293. but there's no way we
can serve lunch today.Copy !req
294. Where do you start?Copy !req
295. Fucking hell.Copy !req
296. With the fucking pigeon food.Copy !req
297. Nice, nice.Copy !req
298. Oh, fucking hell, what is that?Copy !req
299. - Carrot lasagna.
- Carrot lasagna?Copy !req
300. - Yeah.
- Fuck me.Copy !req
301. Watch out, there's a
lasagna coming,Copy !req
302. don't touch it, it bites.Copy !req
303. Steph.Copy !req
304. - This is food which
Gordon wants to throw out,Copy !req
305. which once it's had a wash
it'll be perfectly fine.Copy !req
306. - And you can see why
I don't want you to eatCopy !req
307. anything from the fridge.Copy !req
308. - It's got
cinnamon in it,Copy !req
309. I don't, there—
- It's off.Copy !req
310. - I know it's off.
- Yeah, I know.Copy !req
311. - When was the last time
that was cleaned?Copy !req
312. It's a blessing in disguiseCopy !req
313. that meat hasn't been
cooked in this kitchen.Copy !req
314. Fucking hell.Copy !req
315. With hygiene standards this low,Copy !req
316. they would have been
wheeling out the customersCopy !req
317. by the coffin load.Copy !req
318. That's food in there, no?Copy !req
319. - No, ugh!Copy !req
320. - No?Copy !req
321. Why the fuck would anyone,Copy !req
322. look at the flies up there.Copy !req
323. Rachel used to be the
waitress here,Copy !req
324. and what's crystal clearCopy !req
325. is that she's still
acting like one.Copy !req
326. Fucking hell.Copy !req
327. You've got to take
responsibility,Copy !req
328. this is your money here, huh?Copy !req
329. Rotten and fresh food
stored together,Copy !req
330. none of this is safe to eat.Copy !req
331. - Why have you
let it get into this state?Copy !req
332. - Dunno, no, (laughs) I'm
gonna start cleaning again.Copy !req
333. - Now I've got to work
out how on earthCopy !req
334. do you make a vegetarian
restaurant in Paris successful?Copy !req
335. Fewer than 2% of the French
population are vegetarian,Copy !req
336. but 27 million tourists
flock to Paris every year,Copy !req
337. surely some of them are veggies?Copy !req
338. Are you a vegetarian?Copy !req
339. - (speaking in foreign
language) No, no, no, no.Copy !req
340. I like meat. (laughs)
- You like meat?Copy !req
341. Have you ever been to a
vegetarian restaurant?Copy !req
342. - No.
- No.Copy !req
343. - (laughs) No.Copy !req
344. - Are you vegetarians?Copy !req
345. - No.Copy !req
346. - Finding a vegetarian in Paris,Copy !req
347. is like looking for a
needle in a haystack.Copy !req
348. Are you vegetarians?Copy !req
349. - No.Copy !req
350. - Why not?Copy !req
351. - Because I like meat.Copy !req
352. - Are you vegetarian?Copy !req
353. - Yes, I eat some fish,
but I'm vegetarian.Copy !req
354. - The only way Piccolo
will survive,Copy !req
355. is by serving veggie foodCopy !req
356. that even meat eaters will love.Copy !req
357. All good food comes
out of a small kitchen.Copy !req
358. It's time to get startedCopy !req
359. on Piccolo's drop-dead
delicious new menu.Copy !req
360. Until Rachel finds a
new head chef,Copy !req
361. I'm relying on part
time commis chef, Fiona.Copy !req
362. Kidney beans in first, yeah?Copy !req
363. Beans in.Copy !req
364. A rich, spicy two bean chilliCopy !req
365. should have the veggies and
carnivores chomping at the bit.Copy !req
366. Keep it all nice and fresh.
- Yeah.Copy !req
367. - Yeah?Copy !req
368. Summertime, exactly.Copy !req
369. Lovely, yeah?Copy !req
370. There's also a very cheesy
tomato and aubergine gratinCopy !req
371. to replace that tasteless
slop I was served yesterday.Copy !req
372. Seasoning is really
important, you know that?Copy !req
373. - I never put
salt in my—Copy !req
374. - You never put salt in
your cooking?Copy !req
375. - No.
- Never?Copy !req
376. - Not never.Copy !req
377. - Okay.Copy !req
378. - But I'm vegetarian French.Copy !req
379. - Vegetarian French, you
can still season things,Copy !req
380. I know their food is
bland in general,Copy !req
381. but you can still season it,
yes?Copy !req
382. Hmm, look at that, look,
hmm, salt, ooh, salt.Copy !req
383. I'm gonna, salt, oooh, salt.Copy !req
384. - (laughing) Okay, I'll use it.Copy !req
385. - Ooh, and in England
we go like this,Copy !req
386. it brings you good luck, yes?Copy !req
387. - (laughing) Yes.Copy !req
388. - So now every day I want
you to put salt.Copy !req
389. Fuck, fuck, fuck.Copy !req
390. Fiona's worked a few
extra hours todayCopy !req
391. and it's that sort of
commitment this business needs.Copy !req
392. 5:30, go and pick up
your daughter.Copy !req
393. - Okay.
- Merci, huh?Copy !req
394. - Thank you.Copy !req
395. - A very good day. I'm happy.Copy !req
396. Stephanie has agreed to
cook tonight.Copy !req
397. But at 6 o'clock neither
she nor RachelCopy !req
398. are anywhere to be seen.Copy !req
399. If they think I'm their new
head chef, they can go spin.Copy !req
400. Earlier Rachel went off
to feed her pregnant cats,Copy !req
401. Stephanie had to go and sleepCopy !req
402. because she wasn't
feeling very well,Copy !req
403. and, look, we're an hour
away from openingCopy !req
404. and there's not one fucker
in here, bar myself.Copy !req
405. So, yeah, if you're going
to open a restaurant,Copy !req
406. fucking don't play at it,
work at it.Copy !req
407. - No sign of Steph yet?Copy !req
408. - No, do you want
to call her or?Copy !req
409. - I will call her, yeah,Copy !req
410. I just sort of expected
she would have been back.Copy !req
411. I'll give her a ring.Copy !req
412. No kittens yet.Copy !req
413. - Rachel's up
to her neck in debt,Copy !req
414. the business is on its kneesCopy !req
415. and yet it all seems a
big joke to her.Copy !req
416. - Right, try and hurry up, okay?Copy !req
417. Okay.Copy !req
418. - I'm starting to feelCopy !req
419. like they're taking the
mickey out of me.Copy !req
420. I need to know, you know,
are you seriously interestedCopy !req
421. in turning this around?Copy !req
422. I don't get the feeling
and I'm just, like,Copy !req
423. what the fuck am I doing
here, busting my arse offCopy !req
424. in your establishment to
help turn this around?Copy !req
425. You went home and you
said this morningCopy !req
426. you'd be back at 3:30.Copy !req
427. - I had to go feed my cat
who's about to give birth.Copy !req
428. I had no choice, and I
had to have a shower.Copy !req
429. - I thought we were going
to be doing some stuffCopy !req
430. in the kitchen together,
so that you didn't get—Copy !req
431. - No, nobody
said anything about that.Copy !req
432. - Right.Copy !req
433. - You said you'd be
back soon, but never mind.Copy !req
434. - Okay, are we gonna get
serious or, because, you know,Copy !req
435. shall I tell you how I feel?Copy !req
436. I'd rather fuck off home.Copy !req
437. That's how I feel.Copy !req
438. Because I don't feel
any form of commitment.Copy !req
439. - I think it's an incredibly
admirable enterpriseCopy !req
440. what you're doing, and I think
Rachel's totally committed.Copy !req
441. - Stop, stop, stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop, come on.Copy !req
442. Let's get a little bit
real than that, let's—Copy !req
443. - Look, I'm committed
to her but I'm not, you know,Copy !req
444. - I just don't get it with you.Copy !req
445. - I mean, I
want things to be right.Copy !req
446. - I think you're a fake.Copy !req
447. I don't, I don't get
any fucking,Copy !req
448. I'm not asking you to lay down
a red carpet or kiss my arse,Copy !req
449. I just, I want commitment and
I don't feel that, that's all.Copy !req
450. - No, well, you're not
gonna get thatCopy !req
451. if you tell people
they're a fake.Copy !req
452. - Well, you've
just arrived.Copy !req
453. - Yes, and I'm just gonna leave.Copy !req
454. I'm really committed to Rachel,Copy !req
455. but I just refuse to be
harassed and insulted.Copy !req
456. - Harassed, insulted?Copy !req
457. - Yes.Copy !req
458. - Incredible.Copy !req
459. Harassed and insulted, fuck me,Copy !req
460. take a good look at yourself.Copy !req
461. - Thank you.Copy !req
462. - It's really unfair,Copy !req
463. I've got lots of
fucking work tonight,Copy !req
464. and you leave me in the
fucking lurch.Copy !req
465. - Yeah, but I can't work
because he's arrived here.Copy !req
466. - Right, well,
fucking leave then.Copy !req
467. - Fuck it.Copy !req
468. Bye bye.Copy !req
469. - Cheers, Steph,
nice one.Copy !req
470. - Sorry.Copy !req
471. - Fucking hell, man.Copy !req
472. - We're now down to one
member of staff.Copy !req
473. And I just don't knowCopy !req
474. if she's committed to
saving her business.Copy !req
475. I've never worked with such
fucking limpets in all my life.Copy !req
476. I've had enough,Copy !req
477. Rachel can sort out this
staff crisis herself.Copy !req
478. - Yeah, Gordon Ramsay's
gonna fucking leave,Copy !req
479. mad panic trying to find
somebody to work,Copy !req
480. with about 10 fucking
minutes to go,Copy !req
481. so I just went to the
Scottish pub,Copy !req
482. and they said to come over here,Copy !req
483. and one of the girls in
there phoned somebodyCopy !req
484. and I've found somebody.Copy !req
485. So she's coming in 10 minutes,Copy !req
486. she's going to be in the
restaurant in 10 minutes.Copy !req
487. I think I've just been in
so many crisesCopy !req
488. that I'm just starting to getCopy !req
489. sort of less stressed about it,
you know.Copy !req
490. - Leaving Rachel aloneCopy !req
491. is the best thing I
could have done.Copy !req
492. - Gosh, there's no much
in the fridges.Copy !req
493. There's some salad.Copy !req
494. - She's found
a temporary waitressCopy !req
495. and has decided to go
into the kitchen herself.Copy !req
496. - Okay, so I'm actually
going to be in the kitchen,Copy !req
497. because, normally my friend's
supposed to be in the kitchen,Copy !req
498. and she's walked out, so.Copy !req
499. Ooh!Copy !req
500. - That's pretty good.Copy !req
501. - Hello.Copy !req
502. - Okay, so who's doing
the dining room?Copy !req
503. - I've found a waitress
to come and—Copy !req
504. - Okay, so what will you do—Copy !req
505. - So, I'm gonna be in here.Copy !req
506. - I'm giving Rachel
one last chanceCopy !req
507. to prove she really wants
to save this restaurant.Copy !req
508. Yeah?Copy !req
509. Tart's in the oven.Copy !req
510. So you get the plate out
and put the salad on there.Copy !req
511. Thankfully these new
dishes are foolproof.Copy !req
512. The chilli's ready to go.Copy !req
513. - So that's the gratin and
the chilli for table five.Copy !req
514. - And the gratins
simply need heating up.Copy !req
515. The first of Piccolo's
new hearty dishesCopy !req
516. are already hitting the spot.Copy !req
517. - I love vegetarian food.
(laughs)Copy !req
518. - And about four minutes
now for the main course.Copy !req
519. - Don't forget to
give them some bread, yeah?Copy !req
520. - On table eight.Copy !req
521. - Dad, can I phone you back?Copy !req
522. Oh, right, oh, cool.Copy !req
523. What, and they're coming
to do some work?Copy !req
524. Oh, magic, okay.Copy !req
525. - Rachel's dad has a
financial stake in PiccoloCopy !req
526. and has been looking for
a new head chef.Copy !req
527. - Speak to you later, bye.Copy !req
528. Ooh, my dad's coming over with
somebody and she's a chef,Copy !req
529. so she's coming over
tomorrow with my dadCopy !req
530. for, I don't know if she's
coming over for how long,Copy !req
531. but it's gonna help out
anyway, for the time-being.Copy !req
532. Oh, that's good news.Copy !req
533. - Rachel has just been
thrown a lifeline.Copy !req
534. Fucking hell, what a night.Copy !req
535. It started off as a disaster,Copy !req
536. I felt at 6:30 this afternoonCopy !req
537. that I really wanted to
get the fuck out of here,Copy !req
538. to be honest.Copy !req
539. No substance, no commitment,Copy !req
540. and two sort of dizzies playing
at running a restaurant, so.Copy !req
541. Stephanie fucked off,
and her attitude stinks,Copy !req
542. and Rachel's finally woken up.Copy !req
543. I'm glad she's started to sweat,Copy !req
544. because that's what it's
like running a restaurant,Copy !req
545. and if she really wants
this to succeed,Copy !req
546. then get used to working like
this, because it's a business.Copy !req
547. Got this phenomenal possibility
of a great success here,Copy !req
548. but it needs a commitment,Copy !req
549. and that doesn't mean a
commitment from a waitress,Copy !req
550. it means a commitment
from a boss,Copy !req
551. somebody who's
running the place,Copy !req
552. so, you know, you proved
tonight that you can do it,Copy !req
553. so fucking well done, okay?Copy !req
554. - Cheers.Copy !req
555. - Now things are
finally looking up,Copy !req
556. it's time to deal with one
of Rachel's biggest mistakes,Copy !req
557. not opening for weekday lunch.Copy !req
558. Hoards of hungry tourists
swarm to The MarieCopy !req
559. looking for a quick,
cheap lunch,Copy !req
560. and many head for the snack barCopy !req
561. at the end of Rachel's street.Copy !req
562. She should be working hard
to grab a slice of the actionCopy !req
563. but doesn't think it's worth it.Copy !req
564. We opened at lunch time
for about a monthCopy !req
565. and it was a complete
waste of time, really.Copy !req
566. There was just nobody here,
there was no customers,Copy !req
567. we had maybe two,
three sometimes,Copy !req
568. paying someone in the
kitchen, someone in the thing,Copy !req
569. then because you're doing
a starter and main courseCopy !req
570. there's a lot of washing up.
(laughs)Copy !req
571. - Let's go get some business.Copy !req
572. I'll prove that by offering
a quick, good value lunchCopy !req
573. Rachel could earn some
much needed cash.Copy !req
574. Madam, madam, madam.Copy !req
575. Madam, madam, madam.Copy !req
576. But I know this stubborn Scot
will take some convincing.Copy !req
577. So unbeknownst to her,Copy !req
578. I'll be opening the
restaurant for lunch myself.Copy !req
579. Always dreamt of having my
own restaurant in Paris,Copy !req
580. and finally it's here.Copy !req
581. Chez Moi a Paris.Copy !req
582. Unfortunately it's a fucking
vegetarian restaurant,Copy !req
583. so, yeah, soup and a roll, fuck.Copy !req
584. If the soup's good they'll
be back for dinner.Copy !req
585. They've all sat down at the
same time, now I'm in the shit.Copy !req
586. There's roasted vine tomato
soup with cheese on toastCopy !req
587. for a bargain price
of six euros,Copy !req
588. and you don't have to
be veggie to enjoy that.Copy !req
589. Service, fuck, it's me again.Copy !req
590. Lovely.Copy !req
591. Beautifully roasted
this morning.Copy !req
592. Two, four, six, eight, 10,
bingo, bingo.Copy !req
593. Rachel'd better appreciate this,Copy !req
594. I don't even work this
hard in my own restaurant.Copy !req
595. Coming up, four.Copy !req
596. - Serve the other people first.Copy !req
597. - Right, very kind, thank you.Copy !req
598. Did you leave a tip, by the way?Copy !req
599. - Oh, there's a little
something extra.Copy !req
600. - Okay, good man,
good man.Copy !req
601. Excellent.Copy !req
602. Right, six soups, yes?Copy !req
603. Not opening for lunch
in such a prime locationCopy !req
604. is either madness or laziness.Copy !req
605. - This soup was the best
soup we've ever had.Copy !req
606. - It was really, really yummy.Copy !req
607. - This was fabulous for
us, in terms of price.Copy !req
608. - Twenty past two, I
feel like a pig in shit.Copy !req
609. Fucking marvellous.Copy !req
610. Now all I've got to do
is show RachelCopy !req
611. what her laziness is
costing her.Copy !req
612. Morning.Copy !req
613. - Hello.Copy !req
614. - How are
you my darling?Copy !req
615. - I'm alright, I'm a bit tired,Copy !req
616. 'cause my cat gave
birth in the night.Copy !req
617. - That's fantastic.Copy !req
618. - So I was awake
looking after her.Copy !req
619. - How many cats have you got?Copy !req
620. - There's only two, luckily.Copy !req
621. - A wee bowl of soup?Copy !req
622. If someone opened my
restaurant without telling me,Copy !req
623. believe me, I'd
notice immediately.Copy !req
624. Good.Copy !req
625. - Did you make this soup?Copy !req
626. - I did make this soup, yeah.Copy !req
627. I've had a fucking busy morning.Copy !req
628. - What have
you been up to?Copy !req
629. - Did you not see the
sign outside?Copy !req
630. - No.Copy !req
631. - No?Copy !req
632. - Aah!Copy !req
633. - That one there.Copy !req
634. I don't know what we've taken,Copy !req
635. and I'm not fucking around
by any means, but for me—Copy !req
636. - Did you take all that
this morning?Copy !req
637. - On six euros a head,
I swear to God,Copy !req
638. I am not fucking around, and—Copy !req
639. - I don't know why I
believe you.Copy !req
640. - Help me count it.Copy !req
641. - I'm just not quite sure
I believe you actually,Copy !req
642. but anyway, okay,Copy !req
643. I think at six euros that's
an awful lot of peopleCopy !req
644. that you've served soup
for this morning.Copy !req
645. - Oh, fuck me, was I the chef.Copy !req
646. I swear to God, they
were standing up there,Copy !req
647. and there was a queue,Copy !req
648. and they were coming in
and coming out.Copy !req
649. I cooked and I
served on my jack.Copy !req
650. Right, 200 and—Copy !req
651. - 300.Copy !req
652. - That's 430.Copy !req
653. Clearly, money talks.Copy !req
654. Seriously, as an eye-opener,
it worked, 450 euros.Copy !req
655. - I am absolutely fucking
astonished really.Copy !req
656. It's really exciting, if
we could do that every dayCopy !req
657. then the whole business
could turn around,Copy !req
658. just from lunch time alone.Copy !req
659. - I'm nearing the
end of my week in Paris,Copy !req
660. where I'm trying to save
vegetarian restaurantCopy !req
661. Piccolo Teatro and rescue
a damsel in distress.Copy !req
662. - Soon as you don't
have the supportCopy !req
663. of all your family and
different friendsCopy !req
664. and, you know, quite often I
will phone my mum or my dadCopy !req
665. and be, aww, down the phone,
you know.Copy !req
666. - It's been
disaster after disaster.Copy !req
667. - Cheers, Steph,
nice one.Copy !req
668. - Sorry.Copy !req
669. - Fucking hell, man.Copy !req
670. But the cavalry has
just strolled into town.Copy !req
671. Hearing of Rachel's crisis,Copy !req
672. her father, Brian, who
has invested in Piccolo,Copy !req
673. has flown in from Scotland,Copy !req
674. bringing 22 year old chef,
India.Copy !req
675. Sorry, first name, excuse me?Copy !req
676. - Brian.Copy !req
677. - Brian, nice to see you,
welcome.Copy !req
678. Am I pleased to see you.Copy !req
679. - And this is India.Copy !req
680. This is India, my daughter.Copy !req
681. - How are you, my darling?Copy !req
682. - Pleased to meet you.Copy !req
683. - From where?
- Edinburgh.Copy !req
684. - Edinburgh, lovely.Copy !req
685. - India's gonna be your
right-hand man.Copy !req
686. - I can't wait.
- Or something.Copy !req
687. - We need it.Copy !req
688. - I've got to go back
to the hotel,Copy !req
689. pick up my whites and
get back in here.Copy !req
690. - I like Brian already,Copy !req
691. and I need to bring
him up to speed.Copy !req
692. - Look, soup with the cheese
on toast for six euros.Copy !req
693. - And you took 400 euro?Copy !req
694. - But at 450 euros we've
had about 90 people in here.Copy !req
695. - Really?
- Six euros.Copy !req
696. - Why would you
disbelieve him?Copy !req
697. - Quite fucking incredible.Copy !req
698. - Well, it just shows you
what you're doing wrong.Copy !req
699. - Exactly.Copy !req
700. I'll be more
enthusiastic and motivatedCopy !req
701. if there's money coming in.Copy !req
702. - What do you think's
wrong with the business?Copy !req
703. - Well, I think a bit more
has to be put into it,Copy !req
704. a bit more commitment
from Rachel.Copy !req
705. I think her weaknesses
are running a business.Copy !req
706. - Now, just take charge.Copy !req
707. - Good, and you're
going to be hereCopy !req
708. for the next three months,
right?Copy !req
709. Thank God for Brian.Copy !req
710. Now all I hope is that
India's got what it takes.Copy !req
711. - And I'll be leaving my work,
my family,Copy !req
712. first time abroad on my
own, it'll be very hard,Copy !req
713. but I'm sure I'll do good
and I'll produce good food.Copy !req
714. - I know Paris is an exciting
place for a young chef,Copy !req
715. I was the same age as India
when I came to live here.Copy !req
716. And there it is there,
83 Rue de la Roquette,Copy !req
717. 20-meter squared flat,
absolutely minute.Copy !req
718. It's amazing, I used to sit
there with the windows openCopy !req
719. and just have this amazing
baguette, yeah, cafe creme,Copy !req
720. and just sit there and
think about recipes, ideas,Copy !req
721. and then walk up and
down the street,Copy !req
722. go inside boulangerie,
patisseriesCopy !req
723. and then come up with
dessert ideas,Copy !req
724. run back and start
writing them down.Copy !req
725. Paris is an inspiring city.Copy !req
726. I want to start India
off on the right footCopy !req
727. by showing her the incredible
produce she'll be usingCopy !req
728. if she stays here.Copy !req
729. This is beautiful stuff.Copy !req
730. The quicker India learns
French, the better.Copy !req
731. That's fantastic.Copy !req
732. Voila, merci.Copy !req
733. The color's amazing, (speaking
in foreign language) huh?Copy !req
734. Beautiful.Copy !req
735. - Yeah, absolutely beautiful.Copy !req
736. - Flavour, look and
the colour of them, uh?Copy !req
737. If India's as enthusiastic
in the kitchen,Copy !req
738. there may be hope for
Piccolo yet.Copy !req
739. - I'm your best friend,
merci.Copy !req
740. - Excellent, off you go.Copy !req
741. Some exciting stuff there, no?Copy !req
742. - Quite amazing.
- Huh?Copy !req
743. Lovely, and your French
sounded fantastic.Copy !req
744. - Ah, thank you.Copy !req
745. - Back at Piccolo,
Brian's pep talkCopy !req
746. seemed to have done the trick,
Rachel has arrived early.Copy !req
747. Tonight's India's first service,Copy !req
748. so I'm going to be on hand
to help out if she needs me.Copy !req
749. How old were you when you
first started cooking?Copy !req
750. - 15.Copy !req
751. - 15, really?Copy !req
752. - Well, no, sorry, 15
when I was a KP,Copy !req
753. and then just turned 16
and they were like, get in.Copy !req
754. - Really?Copy !req
755. That's good, that's very good.Copy !req
756. - Yeah.Copy !req
757. - Mushrooms, okay?Copy !req
758. A little bit of seasoning.Copy !req
759. I've added a new hot starter,
a classic on any bistro menu.Copy !req
760. Pan fried wild mushrooms
on hot buttered brioche.Copy !req
761. A little bit of parsley
in there, okay,Copy !req
762. and just let them all
sort of cascade.Copy !req
763. Now, have a little taste
of the geroles.Copy !req
764. Full of flavour.Copy !req
765. India in the kitchen for the
first time, work as a team.Copy !req
766. Now, if you guys aren't talking,
yeah,Copy !req
767. she won't know what's going on,Copy !req
768. and you won't have any
clue what's going on.Copy !req
769. We're just going to start offCopy !req
770. a brand new relationship, yeah?Copy !req
771. Thank fuck you're here.Copy !req
772. - Yeah.Copy !req
773. - I was 22 when I came to
Paris for the first time,Copy !req
774. you know that?Copy !req
775. And I was absolutely
shitting myself.Copy !req
776. - I'm shitting myself too.
(laughs)Copy !req
777. - Yeah, good, that's a
healthy sign, yeah?Copy !req
778. India's got seven years
experience as an assistant chef,Copy !req
779. but tonight I want to see
whether she's got the abilityCopy !req
780. to take charge of this kitchen.Copy !req
781. We'll organise the tickets
from left to right,Copy !req
782. and as we send the starters,Copy !req
783. we'll just put a little
criss-cross off there.Copy !req
784. - Okay.Copy !req
785. - For the main course,Copy !req
786. you have aubergine, mozzarella
and tomatoes in basil.Copy !req
787. - So, no, you tell me,
what are you going to do?Copy !req
788. - Two soup and a tart.Copy !req
789. - Good.Copy !req
790. What was I concerned about?Copy !req
791. This kitchen's never known
such speed and efficiency.Copy !req
792. - Can I get a
mousse and a tarte Tatin?Copy !req
793. - And where's the ticket,
please?Copy !req
794. It would be a lot easier if
we'd got a ticket for a dessert.Copy !req
795. - Okay, I'm on it.Copy !req
796. - Right now the
only weak link in this teamCopy !req
797. is the boss.Copy !req
798. - Okay, the mushrooms.Copy !req
799. - I want to
make damn sureCopy !req
800. she knows how lucky she is.Copy !req
801. What's the difference
between her and Daniel?Copy !req
802. Just go back four nights ago.Copy !req
803. Seriously, no, but in terms of
he couldn't get a salad out.Copy !req
804. This is being real now.Copy !req
805. This is, you know, you've
got a fucking gem in there.Copy !req
806. - No, no, no, absolutely.Copy !req
807. - Absolute gem.Copy !req
808. Now the kitchen's in safe hands,Copy !req
809. I want Rachel to realise
that to make money,Copy !req
810. Piccolo's vegetarian food
needs to have mass appeal.Copy !req
811. Paris screams sex, glamour,
indulgence and hedonism,Copy !req
812. everything that vegetarian
food isn't but needs to be.Copy !req
813. Chin chin!
- Hey!Copy !req
814. - To Piccolo.
- Cheers.Copy !req
815. - There's too many titties.Copy !req
816. - I brought you here tonightCopy !req
817. to sort of confirm that Paris
is about sexiness, indulgence,Copy !req
818. lots of cream, lots of
butter and they flaunt it,Copy !req
819. - Lots of cream,
butter and cheeseCopy !req
820. in my restaurant would be—Copy !req
821. - History, history.Copy !req
822. - I want everyone to
come in and say,Copy !req
823. "Ooh, quel bon suprise!"Copy !req
824. - Okay, good.Copy !req
825. - I had a yummy dinner tonightCopy !req
826. and I'm not veggie
and I loved it.Copy !req
827. - Thank you.Copy !req
828. Tomorrow we're going
out on the streetCopy !req
829. and we're going to make your
restaurant fucking sexy.Copy !req
830. Last night Rachel got
excited about food.Copy !req
831. Maybe we're finally on
the same wavelength.Copy !req
832. This afternoon we're going out
on the streets of gay Paris,Copy !req
833. armed with tempting tarts,Copy !req
834. on a mission to
convince everyoneCopy !req
835. that vegetarian food
has changed.Copy !req
836. The objective today, taking
boring, bland vegetarian foodCopy !req
837. to something sexy, vibrant
and a pure indulgence.Copy !req
838. While India fills the
savoury tartsCopy !req
839. with a tasty herb goats cheese,Copy !req
840. Commis chef Fiona and
I are makingCopy !req
841. a very naughty chocolate
mousse to fill the sweet ones.Copy !req
842. That would give any French
tart a run for its money.Copy !req
843. Don't worry about the calories,
okay?Copy !req
844. Yeah?Copy !req
845. Bedtime, yes?Copy !req
846. Brian, you're doing a grand job.Copy !req
847. Vegetarian food is no
longer boring.Copy !req
848. Lovely.Copy !req
849. Hmm, hmm.Copy !req
850. - That's lovely.Copy !req
851. - It's time to put Piccolo on
the gastronomic map of Paris.Copy !req
852. To make sure no one can miss us,Copy !req
853. we've enlisted the help of a
few of Paris's finest tarts.Copy !req
854. Are you a vegetarian tart?Copy !req
855. Help yourself please.Copy !req
856. Gracias, gracias.Copy !req
857. I love vegetarian tarts.Copy !req
858. Vegetarian.Copy !req
859. If the enthusiasm of these
punters is anything to go by,Copy !req
860. it's going to be busy
for tonight's launch.Copy !req
861. - Absolutely delicious.Copy !req
862. - Piccolo's future
looks so much rosier,Copy !req
863. but it depends on whether
India is readyCopy !req
864. to trade her settled
life in EdinburghCopy !req
865. for this head chef's
job in Paris.Copy !req
866. - I've spoken to Rachel,Copy !req
867. I'll take the position
as long as she—Copy !req
868. - That's great news.Copy !req
869. - Gets her finger out her arse.Copy !req
870. And starts working hard
and in there on time.Copy !req
871. As soon as you go away,
it better not,Copy !req
872. - No, no.Copy !req
873. - Keep it up.Copy !req
874. - You've got to stand
strong on that.Copy !req
875. - Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
876. - And you're 10 years
younger than the owner.Copy !req
877. But you're 10 years more mature.Copy !req
878. And don't fall in love.Copy !req
879. - No, I won't, fuck 'em.
(laughs)Copy !req
880. I'm too busy. (laughs)Copy !req
881. - Exactly.Copy !req
882. I want to make sure Brian's
going to keep the pressure on,Copy !req
883. as I'm still worried
about Rachel's attitude.Copy !req
884. They're going to have to
seriously run it as a businessCopy !req
885. and make money, which they've
got every chance of doing.Copy !req
886. - I hope finally she
gets the message.Copy !req
887. - But you need to make sureCopy !req
888. that she stays
disciplined on it.Copy !req
889. That's one big ask from you,
that she has to discipline.Copy !req
890. - Well, all I can do is try.Copy !req
891. I can only do so much,
anyone like yourself,Copy !req
892. or anyone who she may listen
to for advice, business advice,Copy !req
893. can only do so much,
it's down to her.Copy !req
894. - Thank you.Copy !req
895. In just a few hoursCopy !req
896. we're launching Piccolo's
new sexy vegetarian menu,Copy !req
897. and India's decided to
add one of her own dishes.Copy !req
898. - I've got beetroot and
goats cheese mixed salad,Copy !req
899. and the dressing is chive,
basil and olive oil.Copy !req
900. - So we can do
that as a starter?Copy !req
901. - Yeah,
that looks nice.Copy !req
902. - Would you
like a taste?Copy !req
903. That's lovely.Copy !req
904. Nice.Copy !req
905. - Lovely.Copy !req
906. - All the dishes on the new menuCopy !req
907. are indulgent, rich and filling,Copy !req
908. like this toffee
apple tarte Tatin.Copy !req
909. So, when we cut
through the apples,Copy !req
910. it's got this really
nice dark caramel, yeah?Copy !req
911. And creamy pea and
courgette cheese tart.Copy !req
912. - Beautiful.Copy !req
913. - The goats cheese is lovely.Copy !req
914. Little blocks like that,Copy !req
915. as it cooks it just
melts across there.Copy !req
916. After all the disasters,Copy !req
917. tonight's launch needs to mark
a new beginning for PiccoloCopy !req
918. and for Rachel.Copy !req
919. You are the boss and
what you say goes,Copy !req
920. and they're all going
to follow suit.Copy !req
921. If they see you not
giving a fig,Copy !req
922. and you over-relaxed and
over-comfortable,Copy !req
923. everybody else does it,Copy !req
924. and you've got such an
amazing chance here.Copy !req
925. - I need to, to lead
more as a boss.Copy !req
926. And if anyone that I'm employingCopy !req
927. is not going to listen to me,Copy !req
928. then they can fuck off,
basically.Copy !req
929. - New menu, new chef,
new attitude.Copy !req
930. - Six.
- Six?Copy !req
931. I like that,Copy !req
932. Rachel's talking the talk,Copy !req
933. but at opening time she's
still not ready.Copy !req
934. Right, ready to open
the doors up?Copy !req
935. - I need some bread first.Copy !req
936. - Who's going to
get the bread?Copy !req
937. - Gordon.Copy !req
938. - Where the fuck
am I going to get breadCopy !req
939. at this time of night?Copy !req
940. - It'll be fine.Copy !req
941. I'm chilled, I'm chilled.Copy !req
942. - Yeah.Copy !req
943. You're always chilled, what
are you talking about? (laughs)Copy !req
944. - Rachel's also
left it to the last minuteCopy !req
945. to get an extra waitress.Copy !req
946. - Okay, bye bye, bye.Copy !req
947. - Is that Laura?Copy !req
948. - She's going to see a show,
she can't.Copy !req
949. Oh, fuck.Copy !req
950. - Her constant careless
and unprofessional attitudeCopy !req
951. is really depressing me.Copy !req
952. How about thank you,
you miserable wee bitch?Copy !req
953. That's right, with a
capital fucking B.Copy !req
954. And may we have a ticketCopy !req
955. for the dessert tonight please,
chef?Copy !req
956. No ticket, no food.Copy !req
957. Our tarts have
worked their magicCopy !req
958. and the restaurant is
filling up quickly.Copy !req
959. - Right, all at the same
time you've got one tart,Copy !req
960. one gratin and one salad,Copy !req
961. - Piccolo's new menu is
a million milesCopy !req
962. from the bland, brown
slop they were servingCopy !req
963. just a few days ago.Copy !req
964. So, think with me, two
tarts in the oven, okay?Copy !req
965. - Okay.Copy !req
966. - If we both think about
them we don't forget them.Copy !req
967. - Okay.Copy !req
968. - There's
also a beautifulCopy !req
969. creamy chilled melon soup,Copy !req
970. and India's beetroot
salad is an instant hit.Copy !req
971. - I like a bit of beet.Copy !req
972. - I like that salad,
by the way.Copy !req
973. - It's nice
and fresh and—Copy !req
974. - Yeah, it's delicious.Copy !req
975. - I have a feeling you
all have better than me.Copy !req
976. Hmm.Copy !req
977. - So what tables are ready,
four and?Copy !req
978. Just four?Copy !req
979. - Seven.Copy !req
980. - Seven?Copy !req
981. - The only problem is
the rather charmless service.Copy !req
982. - You can put it anywhere.Copy !req
983. - Right, okay.Copy !req
984. That means move your arse.Copy !req
985. - Thank you very much.Copy !req
986. - At least the food
is keeping everyone happy.Copy !req
987. Make sure they save
room for dessert.Copy !req
988. - The entrees were beautiful.Copy !req
989. - Yeah.Copy !req
990. - The mushroom thing was
just spectacular.Copy !req
991. - I always thought vegetarian
food was bland, boring,Copy !req
992. but obviously it's not.Copy !req
993. It's beautiful,
absolutely beautiful.Copy !req
994. - Vegetarian cooking
has changed.Copy !req
995. Rabbit food is out,Copy !req
996. sexy, indulgent,
vegetarian cuisine is in.Copy !req
997. Yeah, nice, yeah?Copy !req
998. Tonight proves that
Piccolo has the potentialCopy !req
999. to be a success,Copy !req
1000. but I'm still very
worried about the future.Copy !req
1001. I'm not a hundred
percent convincedCopy !req
1002. that Rachel has the right
attitude to run a business,Copy !req
1003. and if this doesn't workCopy !req
1004. and she doesn't make
money in this place,Copy !req
1005. unfortunately she's only
got herself to blame.Copy !req
1006. Because it's all here.Copy !req
1007. Right, listen, don't
let me down.Copy !req
1008. - Okay.Copy !req
1009. - And so far, yeah, you've
done a fucking good job.Copy !req
1010. You know that, keep it up.Copy !req
1011. Stay nice and calm.Copy !req
1012. And work hard.Copy !req
1013. Yeah?Copy !req
1014. And I know damn well you
can do it, okay?Copy !req
1015. Keep in touch.Copy !req
1016. - Okay, I will.
- Yeah?Copy !req
1017. Best of British.Copy !req
1018. See you later.Copy !req
1019. Well done, eh?Copy !req
1020. Good luck.Copy !req
1021. - Thank you, thank you so much,
thank you.Copy !req
1022. - Thank fuck you're here.Copy !req
1023. Remember that.Copy !req
1024. - Okay.Copy !req
1025. - Now make it yours, yes?Copy !req
1026. - Thank you.Copy !req
1027. - By the end of the night,Copy !req
1028. Piccolo's took a record
breaking 1000 euros,Copy !req
1029. 10 times more than the
first night I arrived.Copy !req
1030. You're not the head waitress,
you're the boss, okay?Copy !req
1031. - Yeah.Copy !req
1032. - Yeah?Copy !req
1033. Right, goodbye.Copy !req
1034. - Okay, see ya.Copy !req
1035. - I'll see you soon, and
good luck, yes?Copy !req
1036. - Thanks very much
for helping us.Copy !req
1037. - Okay, keep it going.Copy !req
1038. - Cool, cool.Copy !req
1039. - If not I'll come
back and run it.Copy !req
1040. I'd love to have my own
restaurant
in Paris, you know that?Copy !req
1041. Good luck.Copy !req
1042. - Cool, thanks a lot.Copy !req
1043. - See you soon, yes?Copy !req
1044. - Cheers, thanks.
- Take care.Copy !req
1045. - Everything about
the restaurant,Copy !req
1046. I think is going to change
thanks to this experience,Copy !req
1047. so really, really pleased.Copy !req
1048. - There's just one last
thing I've been dying to doCopy !req
1049. before I leave Paris.Copy !req
1050. Fucking hell, have I missed you.Copy !req
1051. Ah!Copy !req
1052. Hmm.Copy !req
1053. Fucking hell.Copy !req
1054. Aah!Copy !req
1055. I'm back in Paris and
there's bad news.Copy !req
1056. Piccolo Teatro has
closed for good.Copy !req
1057. When I left six weeks ago,
the place had huge potential,Copy !req
1058. a great new menu and a talented
young chef in the kitchen.Copy !req
1059. What a shame.Copy !req
1060. I want to know why it all
went so wrong.Copy !req
1061. And the first person I've
arranged to meet is India.Copy !req
1062. Nice to see you.Copy !req
1063. - Nice to see you.Copy !req
1064. - What a shame that
we're meeting here.Copy !req
1065. - Yeah.Copy !req
1066. - I was hoping to be
back in The Marie.Copy !req
1067. - Me too, me too.Copy !req
1068. - Seeing you in the kitchen.Copy !req
1069. Mm-hm.Copy !req
1070. - Damn, what happened?Copy !req
1071. You had to go home, pick
up your stuff, et cetera?Copy !req
1072. - Yeah, I arrived back in Paris,Copy !req
1073. it was a shambles,
complete shambles.Copy !req
1074. It was a mess, there was flies,
mice—Copy !req
1075. - What, when
you came back?Copy !req
1076. - Yeah, took me, like, four
days to clean the restaurant.Copy !req
1077. - But where was Rachel?Copy !req
1078. - She wasn't there.Copy !req
1079. It was me and her father.Copy !req
1080. We opened up and we done a
lunch service—Copy !req
1081. - You opened up without her?Copy !req
1082. - Yup, I made a
beautiful menu up,Copy !req
1083. I done all your dishes and
added some more dishes on,Copy !req
1084. and we done a great
lunch service,Copy !req
1085. but then Brian just says, no,
that's it, I've had enough.Copy !req
1086. - What a shame.Copy !req
1087. - I'm so sad not to be
here, I love it so much.Copy !req
1088. And I love the food.Copy !req
1089. It's a shame.Copy !req
1090. - Rachel's laziness
has cost India her job.Copy !req
1091. I want to make sure her
career doesn't suffer.Copy !req
1092. Let's look at getting you some
work experience in London.Copy !req
1093. If she's not going to, you
know, take full advantageCopy !req
1094. of your level of excitement
then, fuck it, I will.Copy !req
1095. - Okay.
- Okay?Copy !req
1096. I just can't believeCopy !req
1097. how irresponsible and
selfish Rachel's been.Copy !req
1098. She's agreed to meet me todayCopy !req
1099. and I want to hear what
she's got to say for herself.Copy !req
1100. - Excuse me.Copy !req
1101. - Yeah, where's madam?Copy !req
1102. - Not coming.Copy !req
1103. - Oh, come on.Copy !req
1104. Surely she can face the music
and at least have a word.Copy !req
1105. - I've asked her.Copy !req
1106. I've just asked her.Copy !req
1107. - Oh, that's ridiculous.Copy !req
1108. - 15 minutes ago.Copy !req
1109. - Huh?Copy !req
1110. - Refuses to come up.Copy !req
1111. Gordon, I have no
control over my daughter.Copy !req
1112. - Rachel's immaturity
is incredible.Copy !req
1113. Brian's been propping up
her business for years,Copy !req
1114. and now that the merde
has hit the fan,Copy !req
1115. she's leaving him to it.Copy !req
1116. What a shame.Copy !req
1117. What an absolute fucking shame.Copy !req
1118. - Well, I'm sorry and
I can only apologise.Copy !req
1119. - Brian, you've got
nothing to be sorry about.Copy !req
1120. - Yeah.Copy !req
1121. - I'm more sorry for you.Copy !req
1122. - Well, these things
happen Gordon,Copy !req
1123. - We left with her set up,Copy !req
1124. I didn't leave it in a
shit condition,Copy !req
1125. and Rachel didn't try,
I mean, you know, did—Copy !req
1126. - No.Copy !req
1127. From India's point of
view, India did her best,Copy !req
1128. she came over and finally
she didn't get the back-up,Copy !req
1129. India didn't get the back-up,
so.Copy !req
1130. I felt, well, I probably
didn't get the back-up either,Copy !req
1131. so, I couldn't see it going on.Copy !req
1132. - In an attempt to salvage
something from the messCopy !req
1133. and recoup his investment,
Brian is selling the business.Copy !req
1134. What about the debts?Copy !req
1135. What happens to the debts?Copy !req
1136. - There was two
loans on the businessCopy !req
1137. and I paid one of them off.Copy !req
1138. - You're an amazing guy,
you've bailed her out.Copy !req
1139. 40 minutes late Rachel
decides to show her face.Copy !req
1140. Take a seat.Copy !req
1141. How are you?Copy !req
1142. - I'm fine, very well,
thank you.Copy !req
1143. - Uh-huh?Copy !req
1144. When India came back
excited and motivatedCopy !req
1145. to come and support
your businessCopy !req
1146. and she walked into a shit-hole.Copy !req
1147. - Yeah, it was a mess, it
was a disaster.Copy !req
1148. - Why?Copy !req
1149. - The place was as it was
when you left.Copy !req
1150. - You're lazy, you put
nothing into it,Copy !req
1151. and you deserve a kick up
the fucking arse, missy.Copy !req
1152. And I'm amazed, I really am.Copy !req
1153. - The point is that I
have been stressed out,Copy !req
1154. I've been stressed out and
since I decided to close down,Copy !req
1155. I feel a big weight has
lifted off my shoulders,Copy !req
1156. I'm sleeping for the
first time in three years.Copy !req
1157. - You had every possibility,
Rachel,Copy !req
1158. of making this successful.Copy !req
1159. - It's a decision I've made,Copy !req
1160. and I'm feeling very
happy about it.Copy !req
1161. - And it's fascinating to
watch you in a very cocky way—Copy !req
1162. - I'm not being cocky at all,
I'm saying that I'm feeling—Copy !req
1163. - Use your father's
money and abuse it.Copy !req
1164. You're very lucky.Copy !req
1165. - Right, I've had enough.Copy !req
1166. - Oh!Copy !req
1167. - I've had
enough of your abuse.Copy !req
1168. I don't need this
interrogation, I don't need it.Copy !req
1169. Sorry, I'm out of here.Copy !req
1170. - Abuse?Copy !req
1171. - I don't need it.Copy !req
1172. - What can I say Gordon,
what can I say?Copy !req
1173. Again, thanks for coming and—Copy !req
1174. - Oh, fuck me.Copy !req
1175. Restaurants close easily,Copy !req
1176. especially when the owners
aren't committed 110%Copy !req
1177. to put it back on track.Copy !req
1178. The only saving grace
from my week at PiccoloCopy !req
1179. is that I discovered India.Copy !req
1180. I've offered her work experienceCopy !req
1181. at my London restaurant,
Boxwood.Copy !req
1182. - Just got
butterflies in my tummy,Copy !req
1183. just want to get in the
kitchen and start working.Copy !req
1184. - She'll be joining
a brigade of 18 chefsCopy !req
1185. led by head chef Stuart Gillies.Copy !req
1186. - How are you?Copy !req
1187. Good to meet you.Copy !req
1188. - Young, tenacious, talented,
yeah, and dying to learn.Copy !req
1189. - And you love food?Copy !req
1190. - I love it.Copy !req
1191. - Right, that's the starting
qualification for me,Copy !req
1192. love food.Copy !req
1193. - There's no way on earthCopy !req
1194. I'm going to let a talented
young girl like IndiaCopy !req
1195. forget her dream.Copy !req
1196. I think she'll be at home
here and she can shine.Copy !req
1197. If Rachel can't spot the
talent in India,Copy !req
1198. then I definitely can.Copy !req
1199. This girl's got a great future.Copy !req
1200. - We've got 40
covers coming in,Copy !req
1201. so get your head in gear.Copy !req
1202. - That was cool.Copy !req
1203. - Try the Wagyu beef.Copy !req
1204. - Okay.Copy !req
1205. Okay.Copy !req
1206. - Indulge come on, Hen,
I didn't say that much.Copy !req
1207. - I think that's nice.Copy !req
1208. - A vegetarian's delight.Copy !req
1209. Carpaccio of Wagyu beef
with fucking caviar.Copy !req
1210. - I love it. (laughs)Copy !req
1211. - Get in there,
my girl.Copy !req
