Featured review
Shockingly lazy woman in charge of the restaurant
In 99% of these episodes and overall restaurants it's about having a competent owner. Just someone who is not a total buffoon. These episodes are about failing restaurants so you know the owners will be lazy and stupid in many ways. But this episode is just something else. It's shocking.
A rich dad buys his pretty daughter a restaurant in Paris. Rachel is fairly young, blonde, and attractive with some face jobs. Posh and in Paris clearly enjoying life. She clearly wants the Paris life but HATES working. She is constantly late by an hour with various apologies and overall refuses to do any work. She has 3 people working for her. One is her friend, a waitress. Doesn't need one as Rachel could work herself, but she plain refuses. The waitress is also pretty and young and exactly just as lazy. Coming an hour late while Gordon is waiting alone for them in the restaurant. She also refuses to help in the kitchen as this for her is also just a "for fun" job. So she leaves when Gordon asks her to help out when the lose a chef. They had 2 cooks. One is a part-time cook as she has a son. The other cook is a totally crazy middle-aged Brazilian who refuses to cook fast or learn how to cook properly. Rachel and him may have something more going on as she refuses to kick him out until Gordon forces her to. Then her rich dad arrives from Australian with a 22-year-old female cook. That's the only competent person besides Gordon in this episode. She's a great cook and Gordon turns the business around to set up an extremely successful restaurant - if they don't mess it up that is.
At the end Gordon returns a few weeks later. The chef tells him that she returned from Australia and the restaurant was full of mice or other disgusting things. She spent days cleaning it. The dad returned and they ran one service, but the dad shut it down right afterwards. Both dad and daughter are too lazy. The daughter seems to have become a prostitute. But even in this episode you could see she had quite a bit of work done on her face. So how long can she last in such a job before losing her looks to drug abuse or aging? Seems like running a restaurant is a better long-term prospect, but it's her choice. But I think Rachel was mad at Gordon for kicking out her boyfriend and friend from her restaurant and revealing her laziness to her father who was bleeding money. She didn't want this life anymore as the get easy money from dad idea she had set up was gone. She just used her dad to pay the wages of her and her friends/boyfriend while doing nothing.
The episode is infuriating. Gordon knows this business will 100% fail. We all know that. Get rid of the daughter and you have a thriving business. But her dad bought it for her to enjoy life in Paris so she wanted to run it. Absolutely terrible human beings in this episode disrespecting all people around them. I have never seen Gordon work this hard as he has to do it all. Work the kitchen, buy the goods, clean the restaurant. But while doing so he looks utterly silly and stupid as it's quite clear the main problem will never be fixed. Who knows what Rachel is doing now. But likely her dad will support her as long as he is alive so that she doesn't have to work. What will happen to her once he dies? Nothing good.
