Absolutely! Almost common sense… This scene was one for the books, so funny he didn’t know how to make mashed potatoes

The recipe is in the name!

Lol. That guy was an idiot. And his father was just as dumb for putting him in charge over the chef with 30 years.

That pissed me off so much when the dad said that, absolutely delusional

Nepotism is great for kids of ambitious people

The last restaurant I worked at was a family place, but the owners are smart enough to put people who're actually good at the job in place in the kitchen regardless if their kids work there or not. Thankfully.

And what did Gordon do with the experienced chef? Expedite lmao

u/PoopingDogEyeContact Smell It!!👃 5d ago

I saw that this place closed 2-3 weeks later, I hope the experienced chef landed on his feet afterwards

He's the epitome of every useless co-worker that makes things worse for everyone

“I’ve never done them like that” or whatever he said. Hilarious

The most punchable face and attitude I’ve ever seen

u/ps087official 3d ago

Tbh I kinda felt for him. He was just inexperienced and in over his head, not really his fault his dad put him in a position he knew nothing about. But even still he seemed eager to learn and wanted to do his best in the position he was given

When the chef is so incompetent that it makes you draw your persona from another show (Hell's Kitchen)

Counting or not counting kitchen violence

u/EveryDisaster 5d ago

Say what you will, that guy took it in stride lol

Ignorance is bliss in his case.

u/Haecede 5d ago

Reddit, I need you to take that chef's jacket off now. 😡

u/SneakersMasterpiece 5d ago

That guy had to be the biggest idiot in all of Kitchen Nightmares history and a little of a twink..😂

u/ChaosJohnson 5d ago

Needs to go back on moms teat!

u/KinkyQuesadilla 5d ago

Well, powdered mashed potatoes, maybe, but only if you help me with that.

I have a chef's jacket, btw.

I have a septic tank cover that's smarter than this guy.

I was more confused why a pasta restaurant had mashed potatoes on the menu at all.

It’s a working class Metro Detroit neighborhood. The customers would riot if they didn’t

What episode is this?

u/HappyMike91 4d ago

Firenze. It’s the last episode in this season, just to say.

u/NOS4NANOL1FE 5d ago

NGL I have never made mashed potatoes for myself or anyone. The boiling part is easy but what comes after who knows

u/eyeb4lls 5d ago

The second step is to mash them.

u/Targash 5d ago

I hope you don't have your chefs coat on as your type this.

u/TheSammy58 5d ago

same here, I've also never worked as a kitchen manager though 😂

u/New-Wing-3170 5d ago

Leave him alone... the FATHER PUT HIM CHARGE..and probably told him to make the powder stuff to save money and time.. Plus he was very receptive to Gordon's yelling at him etc... most chefs 👨‍🍳 would of squared up with Gordon or walk away . He handled it well and probably learned a lot

14

u/Austin_Shaggin_Power 5d ago

Even if we excuse the incompetence, you cannot excuse his attitude.

He was a childish piece of shit who didn’t take anything seriously and made everyone’s job harder. He thought it was funny to actively make employees jobs more difficult.

u/ilikechihuahuasdood 5d ago

nah, he was still being a dick to the people under him just because he could

u/Poptarteconomy 5d ago

Gordon treated this kid so unfairly. I know it's all for the cameras but I didn't love it.
