So true! And before someone says they don't have to work there: it's a small town! Small towns don't offer that many work opportunities, especially in the cooking industry when they probably have only a few restaurants around (if they have more than one in the first place), plus servers tend to be team players - they wouldn't leave the others behind if they could help it.

In other episodes when the owner is getting shredded by Gordan the workers sometimes feel bad because they know they're not bad people just people in a mess, stressed, stubborn, dumb and scared. But with him he really did seem abusive and rude as fuck to his workers. They all seem so kind and professional too.

UPDATE (got it off Yahoo): Mill Street Bistro rebranded in December 2013 as Maple City Tavern, but even a new identity couldn't save Joe Nagy's failing business. The restaurant, under its new guise, permanently shut its doors in 2016, marking the end of a nearly 10-year run for the restaurant owner, who first opened Mill Street Bistro in 2008.
The only thing I wanted this 8 Michelin star chef with 90 restaurants to show this lying ingrate was his black belt and cage fighting skill’s! What a repulsive POS
Joe saying, "Well maybe we should cook them 'till they're... piping hot!" as if it's a super exaggerated statement, and the waitress just going, "...yeah, I think you should." is my personal favourite moment
@@jamesd1586 I know, right? This is the best fucking episode ever. The entire staff are pretty well-spoken, articulate, possibly because this is a big American college area. And Joe is the kind of arsehole that only the America farmlands can spew up. roflmfao!
Yeah, I respect that. They're just doing their job and to the best of their ability, usually. He does express disappointment sometimes, but nothing more unless genuinly warranted. He's there to argue with the owners who typically have an ego that needs to be checked or let people walk all over them. They're failing for a reason, and the waitstaff are almost never the reason! :)
Servers are literally the face of the business between the customer and the kitchen. And a majority of their income they make is based off not just their service, but the food. People will still tip a server over a shitty meal, at least I do, but I just don't go back.
Funny thing is he usually always treats anyone with respect. You'll notice that his criticisms are always blunt but never aggressive until people get all in their feelings about it. Unless it's really bad, like disgusting or unsafe, then he'll let them have it no matter what lol. He's there for a reason and it's not their feelings, after all.
@@Snapsta123 Because society should positively reinforce the positive. It's just self-indulgent BS to think that someone shouldn't be praised for being good. If all you do is punish the bad and ignore the good then what do you think you get?
He admitted the meat smells bad and changes colour, that he wouldn’t eat it and that he cooks and serves it anyway. That’s not a great or dedicated chef. And you can say he doesn’t want to get fired so he does what he’s told but any decent chef would walk away from that place instead of risking serving dangerous food to customers. Let’s not give people credit they don’t deserveeeeee
@@BurntBattleBagel it‘s a fucking reality show, do you really think that stuff is not scripted and 100% real? Damn, what a coincidence that he was talking down on his stuff and people were walking in 🤡🤡🤡
It's hilarious but also SO cringe. Like, iykyk, but it gave off vibes of the parent who's saying the nastiest crap to you and then when someone is in earshot, the mask slips back on.
It's just him seeking attention and admiration and them not showing any loyalty to the place they're working at. The funniest thing about that, if any of them ever worked for Gordon and made fun of his restaurant in front of a critic or customer, they'd get fired on the spot.
@@fokuz2025 Try watch a documentary about how Gordon runs his own restaurants. The comment wasn’t about me, but about double standards. And no need to get personal.
@@jacko6634 I am a Scotswoman and you are my brother. What happened before we were born is consigned to history. The meat? I always buy from the local butcher and it's beautiful. You have good taste brother. 😁
I love how Gordon dresses in civilian clothes when trying out the food because he's standing in the customer's position, and when he's monitoring dinner service, he makes it very clear that he knows his shit as a world-class chef by wearing a chef's suit.
FOR REAL THAT WAS WILD 💀💀💀 He went from yelling and practically blaming him for all of his problems to saying "I appreciate every single one of you" DUDE THEY COULD HEAR YOU THEYRE NOT AS STUPID AS YOU THINK THEY ARE 🤦♀️😂
@@72ratsinatrenchcoatI think that’s his main issue. He thinks everyone else is stupid and he’s the only smart one in the world… even when talking about food with Gordon fucking Ramsay 😂
yeahh dunning kruger effect. he is like the karate master tellimg you they have learned in japan but dont even left their city once. a european chef would laugh at him putting raw onions into caramelized onion soup@@Fetidaf
I always think it's so humble of Gordon to never mention Michelin stars, how many restaurants he has, how much money he makes, or how many staff he employs... just lets his team of assistants get the "wow" factor done in the background - fitting out the restaurant overnight, calling VIP's to relaunch night... Appreciate the show, every one is worth watching 😀
What Happened Next at Mill Street Bistro? In the months that followed, the menu at Mill Street Bisto in Ohio had been changed but some of Gordon's changes were kept. Mill Street Bistro staff were fired including servers Jen, Kayleigh and Rebecca are gone as well as Chef Tommy. Joe is back in the kitchen as Head Chef. In December 2013, Joe Nagy renamed and redecorated the restaurant. Mill Street Bistro in Ohio was relaunched as Maple City Tavern, a family friendly restaurant and the reviews are mostly negative. In January 2014, Joe from Mill Street Bistro sued Gordon Ramsay's production company for missing items and damage to the restaurant. He settled the claim for £900 compensation. Mill Street Bistro closed in February 2016 as Joe felt it was the right time to sell up. The restaurant was sold for $140,000 in March 2016. Most of the recent Yelp reviewsprior to closure were 1 star reviews and reviews on Trip Advisor were not much better. The negative reviews are mostly due to poor quality, bland and over priced food. Mill Street Bistro was aired on March 1st and 8th 2013, the episode was filmed in July 2012 and is Kitchen Nightmares season 6 episode 10 and 11.
yeah like seriously, even if Joe was correct that Gordon Ramsay is an asshole, he's still an asshole with multiple Michelin Stars and successful restaurants (as in more than one) all over the world
Some pepole can't even see facts inn the eye and give upp. Wich they seem to think is a weekness. Instead off owning upp, they fight gordon and the simple facts and ends upp looking redicules instead. Human behaivour though, no one likes being thr bad guy.
This episode seems way too overacted. I know it's a reality TV show but this one is more TV than reality. It's no secret that the US show is much more sensationalised compared to the UK version and this episode is a prime example of that.
I think my favorite part of these episodes is when Gordon talks with the waitresses/servers and gets the dirt. He knows who has eyes on the ground and is gonna tell the truth about what's going on. They're always so honest and sweet and Gordon so kind and trusting of what they say. And they're never wrong.
"I would like to go to his restaurant...where he has elk." That guy is probably soooo ignorant...he would order it...eat it...and say something like: "Just tastes like what he had in my restaurant." SMH!
@@Stitchman3875 He acts like he is the Chosen like the best chefs in Europe saw him and boom his aura captivated them so they had to give him, the Avatar of Cooking, their skills so he succeeds to cook the final dish and save the world. That guy lives so much in his bubble, its incredible. Like it that he is passionate about his farm and the animals but how can you be straight and say it fresh from there while you microwave stuff and have frozen things and worse - not be honest about it. The bad thing to me is not to sell mediocre food but to hide that its mediocre, if a restaurant openly says that its mediocre but the price also aren't high then for a quick bite I guess it wouldn't be too bad but to be so disrespectful and deceive people, bruh...
@@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi Exactly! I also thought it was funny when that lady met with Ramsay outside of the restaurant and shows him that most of the meat was bought at a wholesale food club and a local market. Even his waitress said that in the beginning. The raw onions in the soup was a doozy as well. And the Elk Quesadilla, oh boy. Being from California, that would probably earn him as ass kicking. Man couldn't even get his lies straight.
When he said “elk is supposed to have a bite” I googled what elk is supposed to taste like, and every description I saw described it as tender and not as gamey as other meats. Lmaooooo
When joe pretended to be nice when the customers came in I broke out in tears out of laughter 😂😂 Edit: 11K LIKES I GUESS I SHOULD SWITCH ON NOTIFICATION
@@illufisch It wasn't. These things happens more than you think. Assholes like Joe doesn't care or realize how ridiculous they look but they think they are better than everyone else so they don't really give a shit anyways
27:33 is such an underappreciated moment, looking over to TOMMY and calling him chef and not doing the same for Joe. Followed by how quickly Joe got triggered by that. Ramsay is a legend.
It's also just carrots, not like raw meat or something that would actually matter to be handed raw. In fact, I'd be concered if a customer was handing me my food raw when it's not supposed to be LOL
That's because Gordon isn't a dick. He only blows up at obnoxious customers and those that "claim" to be trained professional chefs. As opposed to what they are: Wetherspoons microwave technicians
Joe is honestly terrifying. He wants power and so rules with an iron fist, but adopts the attitude that best suits his needs. At first he tries to mirror Gordon, projecting success and authority, but it doesn’t work. The moment Gordon threatens to leave, Joe switches, becoming what he thinks Gordon wants to see. You can actually hear it in real time at the end of part 1/beginning of part 2. And once Gordon agrees to stay and is on his way to overhauling it, he switches back. Unluckily for him, Gordon doesn’t take bs, and sees through him and his gaslighting
That kind of mimicking is a trait of psychopaths. It was a trait noted of HH Holmes. It’s not that Joe is going to murder anyone (probably) but they’re psychopathic traits.
The bit that got me was when he was berating the staff, and then the minute he realised customers were there he started being all nice to them and appreciative. Such a horrible man.
My favourite part about Gordon is he always gives the energy back but the difference is he knows what he’s doing. My favourite part is the fact that Joe starts getting disrespectful and Gordon says you can’t cook and your a little man
And then when joe said “roll the tape back because he didn’t throw me out, I walked out!” They literally roll the tape back so we can all watch Joe getting thrown out of his own kitchen again! Just for shits and giggles 😂 These editors are hilarious and defos need a raise!
The loser ended up remodeling his restaurant and renaming it gains after the show filmed, he fired the staff that talked to GR about him, and then he sued the production company for “missing items”, claiming they were missing after the remodel. Before the place closed, Joe got back into the kitchen (probably in order to add some raw onions into the French onion soup and maybe grill some lettuce…), and the Yelp reviews all had one star. Seeing how he lies with a straight face, I’m actually shocked they settled the case for 9k$ (edit: read the comments under my comment, I could be wrong on the sum). In 2016 he sold the place… Basically he was trying to find a way to get more money out of everyone who tried to help him, but he’s a pathological liar and I hope he fails at everything he does. “Farm to table” my ass.
Oh, I can't find any source saying $9000... as far as I can tell they settled the case for £900.... about $1125usd - which just makes it even more petty. The police report says a £150 rondeau cooking pot and a plastic tub with several elk stakes or chops were reported missing. In the lawsuit, he also claimed that the show misrepresented him as a " trigger-happy hot head who did not have a clue about the restaurant business.", and that the ceiling that was dismantled for overhead lighting wasn't fixed afterwards.
29:10 This is something that has always baffled me… Why do fake chefs think they know more than real chefs with tons of experience? Not to mention the fact that Chef Ramsay has restaurants all over the world, holds bunch of Michelin Stars and can cook food from all over the world, lol.
Right😂😂😂 aka I'm an independently wealthy narcissist so after collecting my inheritance, I traveled to Europe, met a bunch of chefs during my travels and decided it looks easy-I can cook, so I returned, bought a farm (when does he care for his animals bc it's a 24/7 job??) and started my "farm to table" bistro in a very repressed area of NE Ohio. It was embarrassingly obvious Joe knew NOTHING about the meat he raised. He would have had big game chili, sausages and bison burgers on the menu from the rip. I'm not sure who said it but he was correct once he started saying Gordon's insinuating he's a fraud, cuz he is/was!! He should hang up the restaurant whim and stick to raising elk and bison, and his chickens/poultry. He's definitely got money from somewhere based on his previous globe trotting through Europe self training😂, and his farm which is quite nice, AND that bistro. I'm sure the only reason he's in the kitchen is to feed his ego- I'd bet donuts to dollars that he doesn't need the revenue. I'm also betting this place went down the tubes...
He probably kept rambling about elk at them while he watched them work, then they told him to go away and he deluded himself into thinking its mentoring.
I doubt whether “Joe Dear” would shape in Culinary School! Self taught means, you observe and listen either by watching culinary shows and experiencing working with food in an environment you’re at ease with and can treat your ingredients and produce with PROPER care. Once you’ve experienced food from that angle, then you’re ready for culinary education,refinement and a career in the food industry. This is my honest opinion. Joe couldn’t cut it, that’s why Gordon Ramsey had to come to the rescue.
I love how nice Gordon is to the employees but then he is just DEAD honest with the owner. I especially love the fact that the employees are enjoying the fact that Gordon is just going at him and not holding back. This is immaculate
Gordon's gone off on employees before, he's just also been in the restaurant business long enough to get that feel for who is actually putting in the work. He's there to find the weak links and shake them till they work. It's just more fun to watch when it's the owners.
@@MoonwalkerWorshiper Fair enough, I suppose even when there's terrible servers and cooks who get fired, usually it came down to an owner letting them get away with it, refusing to fire them, etc.
@@MoonwalkerWorshiper - Agreed. It's always the owner. Even if a main problem is an employee, it still comes back to the owner because they should have fired that employee a long time ago.
The prep chef who quit seems like a genuinely nice person. I'm so glad that she stood up for herself and did what was right for her and her profession!
I’ve worked as a chef and/or line cook in several restaurants for the past 15 years and the funny thing is, it was almost NEVER not a blast. Music rocking, cooks laughing, banging out orders quickly and knowing it was cooked beautifully, etc… It’s hard to believe this kind of chaos actually happens
Mill Street Bistro is not open anymore. Mill Street Bistro was renamed to Maple City Tavern in 2013 and then eventually closed for good in 2015. In 2016, the owner, Joe Nagy, sold the old Mill Street Bistro location for $140,000 to end things for good
Imagine being booted out of your own kitchen, in your own RESTAURANT, by GORDON RAMSAY, then moaning to your customers about why one of the world's greatest chefs is WRONG 😂
I still can’t believe the guy had the balls to call a renowned chef a liar. This guy makes it his generous job to go around and fix restaurants, yet Joe wants to talk shit like he’s a pro
Yeah I was scrolling for someone to say this and then him saying it’s like a funeral and walks with her like it’s a casket lol 😂 I like how he kind when he knows it’s not there fault ❤💜🥹
Narcissist will change, but then they spring right back. Joe was already being his old self again before the ep ended. He doesn't know what a bistro is. And, a few yrs before the place went out of business, Joe changed the name calling it a tavern. I've never seen so much incompetence from one person. The fact that 3 staff members quit was quite telling. He's probably blaming Gordon for his business closing.
That sous chef is amazing, and Gordon knows it. Trusted him to cook the burgers and knocked out the service after kicking Joe out the kitchen. Man I hope he's doing better for himself. He deserves it.
To be fair I think some of this show is faked out a little. I think they told him to say some of these stuff from the producers and stuff I could be wrong.
Joe saying “I was taught by old school Europeans” is a joke to actual Europeans. There’s no such thing as 'old school Europeans' and if you’re not professionally taught you’re just a cook, not a chef
I'm more of a chef than that man, I learned how to cook from my mom, grandma and great grandma. And yet I'd NEVER, ever dare make the claim that I could run a restaurant.
@@xanmontes8715 Well I'd also guess you're clever enough to know that even as a decent chef, you can still fail as a restaurateur. Something the subjects of this series obviously just do not understand. The number of people who Ramsay has to help with decoration, promotion and presentation is sometimes a little shocking.
Agreed my older brother is a 5 star corde un blue chef and has been for 30 years he's worked with Gordan Ramsey, Gary Rhodes etc and he would be absolutely appalled by this man claiming to a person who wears his profession and serves crap.
13:20 is one of my fav moments in the entire series. i've always loved how gordon interacts with the staff because it's always nice seeing his more friendly playful side come out not to mention it's funny as hell 😭
Joe's absolute meltdown over the carrots is the peak of this episode for me. I love it. He's so absolutely giddy with himself when he's putting them on the plate in kitchen, knowing what Gordon's reaction was going to be. Joe's thinking, "He's gonna hate this carrot garnish, I'm gonna get him so good with this!" Gordon proceeds to do exactly what Joe wanted and Joe gets ticked off by it. "Stupid Gordon and his stupid carrot, how dare he hand them to me, *I* was supposed to hand them to *HIM* >:(" The whole event comes off as big toddler vibes from Joe and I'm here for it. Don't think I'll ever get sick of this episode, lold
He doesn't really how corny he is. The irony is that he acts like this to make himself look "big and important.' it has the opposite effect. It was really weird when he went to the table like they were friends, and started talking to them about Gordon. He was being laughed at in front of his face, and he was tone def to it.
Him telling to the camera how tender the elk is while struggling hard to chew it is comedy gold.
Joe really didn’t want to be proven wrong about the elk😂
omg came here for that comment.. could not hold in the laughter ... Ramsey does not know the bite of an elk xdd this guy is delirious ahahha
I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard...watching the meat stuck in his cheek while speaking 😂😂😂😂😂

Servers are literally the face of the business between the customer and the kitchen. And a majority of their income they make is based off not just their service, but the food. People will still tip a server over a shitty meal, at least I do, but I just don't go back.
Funny thing is he usually always treats anyone with respect. You'll notice that his criticisms are always blunt but never aggressive until people get all in their feelings about it. Unless it's really bad, like disgusting or unsafe, then he'll let them have it no matter what lol. He's there for a reason and it's not their feelings, after all.
@@BloodPlusPwnIt seems like he mostly yells at professional chefs who should know better.
@@Snapsta123 Because society should positively reinforce the positive. It's just self-indulgent BS to think that someone shouldn't be praised for being good. If all you do is punish the bad and ignore the good then what do you think you get?
That whisper on the ear "i can cook" was amazing 😭😭
Ikr it was so personal 😂
“This is the most tender piece of elk” chews the elk for 5 minutes in 2 different shots 🤣🤣🤣
I saw that too lol said it was so tender and he was still chewing on the first bite lol. Dude is so full of himself.
@@AviatorAV8 Hes so full of chewy elk mmm yum yum

Delusion is strong with this one 😂
Legend says he is still chewing :D
Tommy is a great chef, Gordon and Joe are arguing right next to him and he still continues cooking. That is one dedicated chef
He can run the kitchen alone ngl, Joe is just there in his way.
Or the fact that he was dead scared by the giant quiet sign 😅
tbf that's all he could do to make sure no heat came his way...
What else are you supposed to do during all that? 😂
He admitted the meat smells bad and changes colour, that he wouldn’t eat it and that he cooks and serves it anyway. That’s not a great or dedicated chef. And you can say he doesn’t want to get fired so he does what he’s told but any decent chef would walk away from that place instead of risking serving dangerous food to customers. Let’s not give people credit they don’t deserveeeeee
The 180 he does when the customers walk in as he's berating the staff shows you truly how pathetic he really is.
Not sounding horrible but it's people like Joe that are the problem with this planet.
LITERALLY. I couldn't believe it. Best thing is, the customers heard both his sides.

i LOVE how much fun Gordon makes sure to have with the waiters and waitresses. He’s always so kind to them.
I love how nice he is to the waiters/waitresses because he KNOWS it’s not their fault and I really appreciate Gordon for that
It's just him seeking attention and admiration and them not showing any loyalty to the place they're working at. The funniest thing about that, if any of them ever worked for Gordon and made fun of his restaurant in front of a critic or customer, they'd get fired on the spot.

I love how Gordon dresses in civilian clothes when trying out the food because he's standing in the customer's position, and when he's monitoring dinner service, he makes it very clear that he knows his shit as a world-class chef by wearing a chef's suit.
True but its more to do with cleanliness & hygiene, you wear your chefs whites when in the kitchen and don't bring in dirt from outside clothes.
@@yootaobe5536it‘s also because he (at least how it‘s shown) just arrives at the place when he tastes the food himself

I swear l could see Joe physically shrink into the ground.
What an arrogant little man.
He ( the owner) needs therapy badly.
I always think it's so humble of Gordon to never mention Michelin stars, how many restaurants he has, how much money he makes, or how many staff he employs... just lets his team of assistants get the "wow" factor done in the background - fitting out the restaurant overnight, calling VIP's to relaunch night... Appreciate the show, every one is worth watching 😀
What Happened Next at Mill Street Bistro?
In the months that followed, the menu at Mill Street Bisto in Ohio had been changed but some of Gordon's changes were kept.
Mill Street Bistro staff were fired including servers Jen, Kayleigh and Rebecca are gone as well as Chef Tommy.
Joe is back in the kitchen as Head Chef.
In December 2013, Joe Nagy renamed and redecorated the restaurant.
Mill Street Bistro in Ohio was relaunched as Maple City Tavern, a family friendly restaurant and the reviews are mostly negative.
In January 2014, Joe from Mill Street Bistro sued Gordon Ramsay's production company for missing items and damage to the restaurant. He settled the claim for £900 compensation.
Mill Street Bistro closed in February 2016 as Joe felt it was the right time to sell up.
The restaurant was sold for $140,000 in March 2016.
Most of the recent Yelp reviewsprior to closure were 1 star reviews and reviews on Trip Advisor were not much better.
The negative reviews are mostly due to poor quality, bland and over priced food.
Mill Street Bistro was aired on March 1st and 8th 2013, the episode was filmed in July 2012 and is Kitchen Nightmares season 6 episode 10 and 11.
Great followup, thanks for the insight !!

yeah like seriously, even if Joe was correct that Gordon Ramsay is an asshole, he's still an asshole with multiple Michelin Stars and successful restaurants (as in more than one) all over the world
Some pepole can't even see facts inn the eye and give upp. Wich they seem to think is a weekness. Instead off owning upp, they fight gordon and the simple facts and ends upp looking redicules instead. Human behaivour though, no one likes being thr bad guy.
I mean Gordon wouldn't have several Michelin star restaurants if he didn't know anything about food.
That's about 90% of owners looking for his help in his show 😶 unbelievable!

Totally agree definitely one of the best 👌👍
This episode seems way too overacted. I know it's a reality TV show but this one is more TV than reality. It's no secret that the US show is much more sensationalised compared to the UK version and this episode is a prime example of that.

"I would like to go to his restaurant...where he has elk." That guy is probably soooo ignorant...he would order it...eat it...and say something like: "Just tastes like what he had in my restaurant." SMH!

My favorite part is the owner saying “our food here is the freshest” followed immediately by the microwave slamming shut and beeping lmao.
I thought that being “self-taught by some of best chefs in Europe” was a doozy.
That was some truly inspired comedy right there. The KN editors woke up and chose violence when they were editing this episode.
it's every episode. the owners are so delusional. that's why gordan is there to begin with. that's why 98 percent fail.
@@Stitchman3875
He acts like he is the Chosen like the best chefs in Europe saw him and boom his aura captivated them so they had to give him, the Avatar of Cooking, their skills so he succeeds to cook the final dish and save the world.
That guy lives so much in his bubble, its incredible. Like it that he is passionate about his farm and the animals but how can you be straight and say it fresh from there while you microwave stuff and have frozen things and worse - not be honest about it.
The bad thing to me is not to sell mediocre food but to hide that its mediocre, if a restaurant openly says that its mediocre but the price also aren't high then for a quick bite I guess it wouldn't be too bad but to be so disrespectful and deceive people, bruh...
@@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi Exactly! I also thought it was funny when that lady met with Ramsay outside of the restaurant and shows him that most of the meat was bought at a wholesale food club and a local market. Even his waitress said that in the beginning. The raw onions in the soup was a doozy as well. And the Elk Quesadilla, oh boy. Being from California, that would probably earn him as ass kicking. Man couldn't even get his lies straight.
When he said “elk is supposed to have a bite” I googled what elk is supposed to taste like, and every description I saw described it as tender and not as gamey as other meats. Lmaooooo

"You don't hand me RAW vegetables in my dining room!"
He says after he tries to feed it to Gordon. 😂
He didn't even hand them to him either! He tried to put them on the plate and Joe took them!
Yeah I laughed too
no especially cause its just carrots. its not like raw meat or anything
It's also just carrots, not like raw meat or something that would actually matter to be handed raw. In fact, I'd be concered if a customer was handing me my food raw when it's not supposed to be LOL
ITs like a Ben Stiller line
I really appreciate that these videos are aren’t censored
I love how Gordon was joking with the staff and making things light.
He tries to help the staff anyway possible
That's because Gordon isn't a dick. He only blows up at obnoxious customers and those that "claim" to be trained professional chefs. As opposed to what they are: Wetherspoons microwave technicians
Joe is honestly terrifying. He wants power and so rules with an iron fist, but adopts the attitude that best suits his needs. At first he tries to mirror Gordon, projecting success and authority, but it doesn’t work. The moment Gordon threatens to leave, Joe switches, becoming what he thinks Gordon wants to see. You can actually hear it in real time at the end of part 1/beginning of part 2. And once Gordon agrees to stay and is on his way to overhauling it, he switches back. Unluckily for him, Gordon doesn’t take bs, and sees through him and his gaslighting
Great analysis. For real
Perfect example of a narcissist
That kind of mimicking is a trait of psychopaths. It was a trait noted of HH Holmes. It’s not that Joe is going to murder anyone (probably) but they’re psychopathic traits.
anddd even after agreeing to change and this whole ordeal… he set foot behind the burners. all over again.
The bit that got me was when he was berating the staff, and then the minute he realised customers were there he started being all nice to them and appreciative. Such a horrible man.
The staff pissing themselves laughing while Gordon tears this guy a new one is the greatest thing ever.
All that was missing was the popcorn 🍿
(especially since nothing else in there was edible...😶)
Oh I just said the exact same thing before seeing this! Haha foreal
My favourite part about Gordon is he always gives the energy back but the difference is he knows what he’s doing. My favourite part is the fact that Joe starts getting disrespectful and Gordon says you can’t cook and your a little man
The fact that Joe mimics what he thinks Gordon is going to say about a dish, and then Gordon DOES indeed say it, means he KNOWS it's wrong or stupid.
the funniest parts 😂
That cut to the bull after he said "I'm not arrogant, I'm a passionate loving person" 🤣
Someone give the editor a raise.
What would have been even better imo, was a cut to Joes love goat XD
And then when joe said “roll the tape back because he didn’t throw me out, I walked out!”

The loser ended up remodeling his restaurant and renaming it gains after the show filmed, he fired the staff that talked to GR about him, and then he sued the production company for “missing items”, claiming they were missing after the remodel.
Before the place closed, Joe got back into the kitchen (probably in order to add some raw onions into the French onion soup and maybe grill some lettuce…), and the Yelp reviews all had one star.
Seeing how he lies with a straight face, I’m actually shocked they settled the case for 9k$ (edit: read the comments under my comment, I could be wrong on the sum).
In 2016 he sold the place…
Basically he was trying to find a way to get more money out of everyone who tried to help him, but he’s a pathological liar and I hope he fails at everything he does.
“Farm to table” my ass.
He's narcissistic... Toxic person
Oh, I can't find any source saying $9000... as far as I can tell they settled the case for £900.... about $1125usd - which just makes it even more petty.
The police report says a £150 rondeau cooking pot and a plastic tub with several elk stakes or chops were reported missing.
In the lawsuit, he also claimed that the show misrepresented him as a " trigger-happy hot head who did not have a clue about the restaurant business.", and that the ceiling that was dismantled for overhead lighting wasn't fixed afterwards.
Grill some lettuce 😭😭, amazing episode

“ I’m going to get a bite to eat” K/O move. Joe soul was stolen in that moment 😂
“He is being so critical”
Dude there was a literal rock in your ravioli! I think that’s something to be critical about 😅
The rock was probably more tender then the elk.
29:10 This is something that has always baffled me… Why do fake chefs think they know more than real chefs with tons of experience? Not to mention the fact that Chef Ramsay has restaurants all over the world, holds bunch of Michelin Stars and can cook food from all over the world, lol.
"I'm self taught by some of the best chefs in Europe"
Let's just let that sink in for a bit.
😂😂😂😂
Lol i said the same...Thats not self taught, andddd u didnt go to culinary school 🤦🏾♀️ You are not a chef sir
Right😂😂😂 aka I'm an independently wealthy narcissist so after collecting my inheritance, I traveled to Europe, met a bunch of chefs during my travels and decided it looks easy-I can cook, so I returned, bought a farm (when does he care for his animals bc it's a 24/7 job??) and started my "farm to table" bistro in a very repressed area of NE Ohio.
It was embarrassingly obvious Joe knew NOTHING about the meat he raised. He would have had big game chili, sausages and bison burgers on the menu from the rip. I'm not sure who said it but he was correct once he started saying Gordon's insinuating he's a fraud, cuz he is/was!!
He should hang up the restaurant whim and stick to raising elk and bison, and his chickens/poultry. He's definitely got money from somewhere based on his previous globe trotting through Europe self training😂, and his farm which is quite nice, AND that bistro. I'm sure the only reason he's in the kitchen is to feed his ego- I'd bet donuts to dollars that he doesn't need the revenue. I'm also betting this place went down the tubes...
He probably kept rambling about elk at them while he watched them work, then they told him to go away and he deluded himself into thinking its mentoring.
I doubt whether “Joe Dear” would shape in Culinary School! Self taught means, you observe and listen either by watching culinary shows and experiencing working with food in an environment you’re at ease with and can treat your ingredients and produce with PROPER care. Once you’ve experienced food from that angle, then you’re ready for culinary education,refinement and a career in the food industry. This is my honest opinion. Joe couldn’t cut it, that’s why Gordon Ramsey had to come to the rescue.
I love how nice Gordon is to the employees but then he is just DEAD honest with the owner. I especially love the fact that the employees are enjoying the fact that Gordon is just going at him and not holding back. This is immaculate
Gordon's gone off on employees before, he's just also been in the restaurant business long enough to get that feel for who is actually putting in the work. He's there to find the weak links and shake them till they work. It's just more fun to watch when it's the owners.
@@tjrune3432 It's always the owners. The employees do not run the business, and the business is failing obviously.
@@MoonwalkerWorshiper Fair enough, I suppose even when there's terrible servers and cooks who get fired, usually it came down to an owner letting them get away with it, refusing to fire them, etc.

@@MoonwalkerWorshiper - Agreed. It's always the owner. Even if a main problem is an employee, it still comes back to the owner because they should have fired that employee a long time ago.
The prep chef who quit seems like a genuinely nice person. I'm so glad that she stood up for herself and did what was right for her and her profession!
And with how much she documented with food issues and said about doing cleaning, Prep, and working the others stations I bet her food is delicious.
I’ve worked as a chef and/or line cook in several restaurants for the past 15 years and the funny thing is, it was almost NEVER not a blast. Music rocking, cooks laughing, banging out orders quickly and knowing it was cooked beautifully, etc… It’s hard to believe this kind of chaos actually happens
Mill Street Bistro is not open anymore. Mill Street Bistro was renamed to Maple City Tavern in 2013 and then eventually closed for good in 2015. In 2016, the owner, Joe Nagy, sold the old Mill Street Bistro location for $140,000 to end things for good

Narcissist will change, but then they spring right back. Joe was already being his old self again before the ep ended. He doesn't know what a bistro is. And, a few yrs before the place went out of business, Joe changed the name calling it a tavern. I've never seen so much incompetence from one person. The fact that 3 staff members quit was quite telling. He's probably blaming Gordon for his business closing.

Joe saying “I was taught by old school Europeans” is a joke to actual Europeans. There’s no such thing as 'old school Europeans' and if you’re not professionally taught you’re just a cook, not a chef
I'm more of a chef than that man, I learned how to cook from my mom, grandma and great grandma.
And yet I'd NEVER, ever dare make the claim that I could run a restaurant.
@@xanmontes8715 Well I'd also guess you're clever enough to know that even as a decent chef, you can still fail as a restaurateur. Something the subjects of this series obviously just do not understand.
The number of people who Ramsay has to help with decoration, promotion and presentation is sometimes a little shocking.
Agreed my older brother is a 5 star corde un blue chef and has been for 30 years he's worked with Gordan Ramsey, Gary Rhodes etc and he would be absolutely appalled by this man claiming to a person who wears his profession and serves crap.
It's hilarious how this dude tries to sound more fancy by claiming to be trained by "old school" Europeans. Like what the hell does that even mean?
Even worse he says “I was self taught, By old school Europeans” how can you be self taught by someone other then yourself 😂
-JOE "We are fine dining with fresh food"
-The Fridge "are you sure about that"
13:20 is one of my fav moments in the entire series. i've always loved how gordon interacts with the staff because it's always nice seeing his more friendly playful side come out not to mention it's funny as hell 😭
He’s like Malcolm Tucker- treats the innocents with respect and like human beings but those who are incompetent he’ll give them a bollocking.
“It’s tender , it’s delicious” *still chewing after a couple minutes*
Joe's absolute meltdown over the carrots is the peak of this episode for me. I love it. He's so absolutely giddy with himself when he's putting them on the plate in kitchen, knowing what Gordon's reaction was going to be. Joe's thinking, "He's gonna hate this carrot garnish, I'm gonna get him so good with this!" Gordon proceeds to do exactly what Joe wanted and Joe gets ticked off by it. "Stupid Gordon and his stupid carrot, how dare he hand them to me, *I* was supposed to hand them to *HIM* >:("
The whole event comes off as big toddler vibes from Joe and I'm here for it. Don't think I'll ever get sick of this episode, lold
Those same carrots go to the white house. They go global 😂
@@JonahChickering-j9nand the *FIVE* seasons 😂
nah joe really thought those were a great garnishe and then got completely crushed by gordon it was hiliarious
He doesn't really how corny he is. The irony is that he acts like this to make himself look "big and important.' it has the opposite effect. It was really weird when he went to the table like they were friends, and started talking to them about Gordon. He was being laughed at in front of his face, and he was tone def to it.
10:40 Come here you. 😂
