"he's your son not mine"
Nothing makes you less of a man than that.
Family is about how people treat you, not who’s your blood.
yeah divorce should be NOW
Its honestly so fcking disgusting
Sounds like you've heard that line before and now you got daddy issues XD
@@mattaddison1910 or they’re just a basic human being who understands that saying stuff like that is messed up? Bruh
I love how the children are acting like adults more than their parents.
Well, somone has to if the parents dont do it.
@@Mikepet true
...they are adults tho it's the parents that are kids
The mom calling someone about the food? ;p oh man
What happened to van
The son and daughter is 90x times more mature and responsible than his parents
They should fire the parents
@@KonradvonHotzendorf😂 Totally agree.👍
The kitchen manager should be the owner or manager
Agree with all of you guys
To hear the wife/mother say she can't see the marriage continuing if the restaurant fails but didn't care an eye at her husband talking to her son the way he did... just really shows her priorities.
Lots of comments talk about what a trash bag the dude is, but the mom is willfully shoving her kids into that situation. She's so far from innocent.
She comes with the house. Not hard to understand why the original dad is long gone.
The big word here is “her” son!
Some people should not be parents, tbh.
The kid is awsome for standing up for himself
OH NOOOOOOOO!!! I have two girlfriends, but very few people on YT are happy for my relationship success. They disl*ke all of the videos I make with my 2 girlfriends. Please be kind, dear roe
He's got quite the mouth on him and doesn't seem very trust worthy IMO
@@Mysterio-io4yd he hasn’t lied about the fact the managers never come in.
I know right, he's got a knack as front house manager
@@Mysterio-io4yd he gives a shit about the restaurant.
‘Customers aren’t going to care about your business if you don’t give a fuck about it’ both kids are incredibly perceptive and mature.
I guess having no other grown ups in their family caused them to have to grow up themselves
@@timpy1124 this.. and imo, that's how most broken / torn up families are.. well, at least that's me..
I wonder how their own father felt (because Keith is their stepdad) about her considering I see Lisa is still childish herself for ordering their own food in middle service and telling like a child that "I'm starving" while in fact they should eat before dinner service!
@@GReyn I think you're right, mate. I had to grow up quick for the same reasons...
@@timpy1124 i mean for me its how i also got mature... hopefully most kids get mature by other ways...
What they really needed, was Sebastian’s unique concept of 21 flavor combinations.
This is gold 😂😭💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 awesome
😂😂😂😂😂
this took me out 😭😭😭
From bringing the food out to them in the car and slamming the door, telling off his parents, to being upfront with Gordon from the get go, The son really is an all star of this episode
The father goes to Ruby’s II down the street
The chicken,the chicken for chicken cutlet Parmesan was leftover and refrigerated. It seemed to be overcooked also. Chicken cutlet done properly doesn’t take a long time to cook…
@@margaretgrupski4548 EXACTLY chicken cutlet is quite litteraly the shortest cook time piece of chicken other than diced, even fucking tenders take longer to cook
this show is 10% restaurant management and 200% family therapy
Truueee!!!
I don't think you know how percentages work.
Most of the service businesses are about not having a mental disorder
@@20giis15 - LOL, I was thinking that too.
@@20giis15 it’s not that deep
Keith saying 'he's your son, not mine' absolutely disgusted me. Any possible redemption goes out the window for me after that.
if my step dad would have said that in front of my mother she would start throwing hands
like holy fuck lady stick up for your son
@@hydra7094 ikr.. if that was my mom, she would just divorce him right there in an instant.. "if you can't accept my son, you can't be a good father for him" and now my mom found someone who accepted us both and we accepted both my stepdad and his 3 sons, 2 of em which are deaf since birth, i love em tho😄😆
@@GReyn that’s awesome man
My step dad and mom joke about this constantly when we get in a mini argument about something, and they both tell me to talk to the other person and they are like, she is your daughter talk to her, and the other says the same back until I just walk away. I usually return 10mins after and we can resolve the issue.
@@nikolaplivna - Joking is different.
UPDATES:
In the weeks after filming, Keith and Lisa did not commit to managing the restaurant and they separated.
Cafe Tavolini closed in December 2010.
A For Sale sign appeared in the windows shortly after, although this was said to not effect the restaurant as it was rented.
Keith was hoping to reopen the restaurant in March 2011 but this never happened.
Some of the staff including Chef Michael Sirico are now working in B Line Bar & Grill in Black Rock.
Cafe Tavolini aired on March 25 2011, the episode was filmed in December 2010 and is Kitchen Nightmares season 4 episode 7.
I saw that coming a mile away. You can't make someone motivated just by telling them to be motivated.
@@KristianKumpulaAgreed. It’s the same with most of the restaurants in KN. A lot of them are either too far in debt already or the owners aren’t motivated to actually try and make it successful.
@@MrSlendyMannn yep one was even shut down before filming started. so they opened it just for filming.
What happened to the kid
@@jesusbanda5227 Hopefully he's doing well. He has a good head on his shoulders.
"You're basically just making yourself look like and even bigger jackass when you lie about things." is the realest shit I've ever heard
No matter how many episodes of KItchen Nightmares I watch, I still don't understand how someone just decides to "buy a restaurant on a whim"
The main lessons I learned in a small business start up class were 1. Do your research and 2. Don't start a business.
More access to credit than sense, basically.

me and you both man😂 especially when they mostly never have experience
These two are like the textbook definition of people who shouldn’t own a restaurant.
INDEED
Isn't that like 70% of owners on this show
@@internetdinosaur8810 yea but these two were so shit they split up because of it and the restaurant wasn’t even close to making a comeback. Like at least the other owners tried to change, and were way more involved, but these two were just pathetically hanging out in their car more than they were in the actual restaurant.
@@zacharywindover9840 True
These two should have gone to couple therapist before calling Ramsay
This 'step father' would have been in hospital at the moment he screamed at my mother.
Unless your mother quietly insulted or provoked him in the kitchen.
There is such a thing as abuse from the "quiet one".
I wish Gordon said the same thing
Gordon isn't into Misandry!
But she allows it, that's the craziest part. Like, that man cannot be worth being yelled at and embarrassed like this.
"You're son, not mine." tells me everything I need to know about Keith.
Yes, he isn't his father and doesn't owe him anything. The man is an ass, but I agree with this.
@@DaisyChain3339.the man doesn't deserve a woman (or children)
@@DaisyChain3339.He owes a lot even not being his biological father. He knew what he was getting into.
@@Bluneko6 What? He doesn't owe anything.. and the woman is a HORRIBLE mother and choice of men for choosing a father that left (or she drove him away) to begin with and then choosing another abusive guy. Time for women to own up to be being losers as well.
@@aa-ze5cz don't step up to be in a child/person's life if you can't handle the baggage or be a good n influence
What a pathetic excuse of a mother for not defending her own son and protecting him. They deserve each other.
Chances are unfortunately that she was being abused as well.
yeah thats fucked
The moment I saw them both chilling out in the car, I knew at once they deserve each other.
„Pathetic excuse of a mother“ is putting it lightly lmao
@@RoselSmidheda doesn't really change anything tho, that should be the wake up call, when your asshole husband threatens your child
The narcissist stepfather apologising FOR his wife and stepson instead of apologising TO them makes my blood boil.
hard to watch
Literally same. My father was like that, makes me sick to see.
hes not even a narc, he just caves in every single time something happens and his wife just follow's him along
You watched a heavily edited and doctored 40 min condensed version of a scripted event, and you believe that they showed you the truth? Everyone who's been on the show has admitted how incredibly fake and scripted the encounters are, in post processing, they cut and splice the footage in order to make villains out of people. Seems like they're doing a good job if you believed all of it. They spoon-feed you with this shit and you eat it up with no critical thinking whatsoever.
@@mattaddison1910 I know, but honestly I'm just going for the fun of it
Their child's courage is the best thing in this episode. May he find both success and happiness through his life. I ain't his father and I'm freaking proud of him.
Her letter… we let our staff and customers down…. No mention of those kids who have even running what was left of the restaurant.
Kids cared more than those 2
I doubt they didn't just back to doing nothing
Those two kids were amazing. I'd be thanking my lucky stars for them.
Let Van run the thing, he's got a solid head on his shoulders.
And the daughter - another mature and straight shooter!
It closed almost 11 years ago
@@jmrobby damn that's sad. I wonder how the son is doing now
@@momentomalum1037 😂😂
For real, or start their own.
What a guy Van is 👏👏👏
He's not afraid to speak up for the right. He knows his mother is suffering yet standing up for her lazyass husband
Its not like she was doing a ton either....
Her mother seems to be more protective of her husband instead of her own son when he says he wanna "elbow" his son
He and his sister, Joli are way more mature than Keith and Lisa.
@@Amm17ar Exactly - I was thinking she was a part of the problem just like her husband.. She is not doing anything to help the business and she is totally careless
It takes a Van to get rid of that load of crap.
SO much appreciation for Van, and Jolie.
Thank you for having your mother's back, even when she didn't have yours.
Thank you for showing Gordon and everyone else how badly they are failing and why.
You are a strong young man; I hope you do well.
Update: Resteraunt Closed: the owners did not uphold their promise to be more involved. and the resteraunt closed weeks after filming
That's like an update 11 years ago hahahaha
@@kaelthunderhoof5619 I only do this cause ppl might be interested where these restaurants are at today lol
Ppl who update in the comments are always appreciated 🫶🏼
I hope the kids are doing okay. They deserve only success.
Exactly what I had suspected and put in my comments. 99.99% of the restaurants Gordon worked on as part of this series ended up shuttering for good or change of business nature.
She really did write Gordon an apology letter like she was in trouble from a teacher.
Some people communicate better in written form. At least she tried.
ua-cam.com/video/FrJPjZW1yGs/v-deo.html
What grade would you give her letter?
Right like what was she gonna do mail it?
Honestly. Do you not understand reality TV? What you see is far from real.
The Father is toxic
Throwing stuff at his son
Telling his wife it's your son, not mine
And then yelling at his wife for nothing
well, he's a step father so yeah
When the original father isn’t around, you gotta step up and be man of the house. Regardless of having a stepdad. You gotta make sure they know where they stand and that’s not at the top. Protect blood above all else.
Van should slap Keith up.
@@Dean_AZN More often than not, parents don't want new parents for their kids. It's quite possible that his role was defined as her husband and not as a father figure. Also we don't know anything about the biological father, he might be living down the road and have a healthy relationship with his son for all we know.
don't forget when the stepdad said "don't make me elbow you" to the son.
And if thats how he's acting with cameras on, imagine how he's like when they're off...
Van is an expetional son , his has so much potential and is so driven as well as on top of things, His sister Jolie is also open and honest ,I like that and his parents are just down right pathetic
Watching kitchen nightmares what make me eat more home cook meal than going out and eat
I've watched dozens of these now. This kid is the first one to understand the purpose of Gordons presence from the get-go.
Strange hairdo on the kid tho!
@@joywebster2678 But, that's the years when emo era's been happening.
I FIND THAT MOST TIME THE YOUNGER PEOPLE ALWAYS GET GORDON AND ARE ALWAYS MORE MOTIVATED TO FOLLOW HIS DIRECTIONS
Usually in Kitchen Nightmares, the kids are always more opened to Gordon's advice more than their parents because they want to learn from the best while their parents are still stuck in their old ways
@@pudingauriz why u typing in CAPS?
12:54 "Don't apologize to ME. That's your LADY."
Can we all appreciate Gordon at that moment? Saying this to this poor excuse of a man. SAY IT LOUDER, CHIEF!
Period I loved that part
After Gordon was literally caught on film with a prostitute and was buying poppers then going to a hotel with her? F**k Gordon's white knightery. Especially when you've seen how beautiful inside and out and supportive his wife Tana is.
@@curbyourshi1056 Source?
@@bialex8083 Google it, or go back to Reddit, ffs.
@@curbyourshi1056 wow rude, I was legitimately asking because all I could find was that one affair with that former French restaurant owner.
He's your son not mine..
Yep he CLEARLY isn't YOUR son.
And thank goodness for that fact. 🙏
A friend's step father said that to him once, and his response was "that's the best thing you've ever said to me" it was gold
Yeah the son has cojones.
Van genuinly seemes like such a smart and nice guy
“So when did he become head honcho”....the disrespect for the young man trying to save your business & marriage....
Right? Someone had to step up and the owners sure weren't doing it.
@@NiecieSavo I didn’t finish watching before I commented but after watching a bit more, hearing the house will be taken from them, the kid just doesn’t want to be homeless. I wouldn’t be surprised if the only reason Gordon came is because he reached out personally. Not one of the owners.
He became head honcho the moment the old one didn't pull his weight.
@@Chumbucketsecret And that is also such an unfortunate part of this. The kid looks like he has a lot of potential, but hell be stuck trying to keep the restaurant afloat.
To stuck up people, help is seen as disrespect...#OpenYourEyes
The kids - actually the entire staff - are rockstars. They can actually work and take ownership of their roles. Hopefully wherever they are now, they're doing good.
Based
Especially Michael, he's the real MVP of the restaurant for keeping the kitchen together and saved all of the dinner services
If you’re good, you get to be busy.
The Place shut down the same month this was filmed.. which was almost 11 years ago~
@@Fischbroetchen2k well that's not suprising
I can empathize with Van a lot, trying to protect his mom from his stepdad.
My mom used to date a racist, sexist jerk who talked down to her regularly. They broke up shortly after I witnessed him verbally abusing her after which I sat down with my mom and told her that nobody gets to talk to her like that and she deserves much better.
I hope everything worked out for him.
The fact that the restaurant was closed right after 6 months of the filming. Gordon must have really upset because of how hard he worked for it.
Well show producers got their bang from the sponsors, Ramsay went laughing all the way to the bank before moving on to film the next episode. What do they care
Kid’s an old soul. He said “why are you lying?” like he’s a parent.
Well sometimes when your parents are being childish, you got to be the "parents"
@@da_yanti.f.6363 same here, except its my mum. Both my parents are morons who should never have had kids because they're both childish.
@@Phoebe5448 you must be a strong person, it's hard to grow in that environment, because i am too. But that's ok, if i have children i promise them to not have parents like their grandparents
@@da_yanti.f.6363 thank you. I don't believe I am a strong person, I just try to get on with my life and who I am. Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll do great.
@@Phoebe5448 thankyou, and good luck with your life too
Can we acknowledge Gordon's acting? I mean, he acts as if he didn't know anything about the family when the son literally told him everything in advance before Gordon steps into the restaurant. Haha.
frickin bots innit
@@goblinslayer310 for real
@@goblinslayer310 I love your name xx
lets keep this between us and the massive audience
The show barely gives it away, good catch there!
The son/stepson could have become an excellent manager. He cares about the guests, he cares about the food, and he isn't afraid to speak up if something's wrong.
The mother and the stepfather are way too immature to handle anything, and runs away when there are problems, instead of trying to solve them. That's why it was pretty clear from the beginning they were doomed.
Something I’ve learned from watching kitchen nightmares is that somehow the worst, most selfish parents have the most responsible caring kids who act more mature towards the restaurants than they do
As a mother, how she can stand by whilst her husband treats her children like utter crap astounds me. If anyone talked to or treated my girls like that they would be out the door. The minute he started to throw stuff at Van I would have been packing his bags and serving papers.
Absolutely!
she's such a pathetic mother
How about the other way around?
@Fuck_handles how is that relevant?
they separated shortly after the show.
Imagine eating somewhere and you see Gordon come in with cameras
I’d leave so fucking fast 😂
@@scorpiusm3321 😂
This post was made by scared shit-less gang.
I'd definitely sit and watch before ordering food! Could be fun so I wouldn't run off. Also some Kitchen Nightmares, the food is not a problem, it's finding the target market
I'm just gonna leave immediately
Im convinced theres some form of dv happening at home, just by how protective that young boy is of his mother.
I can’t believe how Van’s stepdad treats him.. I’d throw hands 😂
I'm SO grateful that they separated. He was an abusive assbutt towards both her and her son. I hope he's in an alley somewhere, rotting. I've never witnessed so much verbal abuse and gaslighting in my entire life.
Did you see the Burger Kitchen episode? Full episode is on this channel too. The stepdad here was a total piece of shit but compared to Alan and his lovely wife Gen in Burger Kitchen he's a saint.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l Because Alan's father was a mafia in Australia
@@margarethmichelina5146 Yeah I found out about that. Quite the story lol. It is funny but also sad how he keeps complaining about his aweful father while being aweful to his son. I guess making crap food is an improvement over running whores and gambling venues. On the other hand not quite as exciting. And I assume the money came from the Mafia guy, so he was more than happy to take the profits while pretending to be on the moral high ground (and stealing his sons money).... these episodes are great to watch when you feel bad about yourself. They make any halfway normal person look like a saint...
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l he's in the MAFIA !? goddamn what did I miss.
its for a show. they agree to get humiliated in exchange for help, guidance and new restaurant design. What do you think? Gordon only goes where his huge team sees a good drama potential. Obviously this episode was one of the more extreme and realistic. Still the man never said things like "hes not my son". Nobody is this terrible and its all exaggerated for TV purpose. Dont be dumb kids please !!!
Van is just such a lovable dude he really cares about his mom and the business
I hope he is doing well theses days, as we say in the UK, "He's a top bloke".
He is not your friend bro, you have to start looking after your mom and restaurant.. you can’t live in the past bro, you can’t.
@@askasktro9984 there is nothing wrong with the fresh frozen food I serve in my restaurant. My mom loves it and won't take any form of criticism.
@@justinace2589 your mom is a wonderful woman..
Wouldn't mind working with the son.he cute too
One of the few episodes where we had no arrogant chef claiming there's nothing wrong with his food.
Yup the staff seemed to be alright the owners just didn't know what they were doing.
What Happened Next at Cafe Tavolini?
In the weeks after filming, Keith and Lisa did not commit to managing the restaurant and they separated.Yelp reviews were oddly non-existent for the restaurant. Cafe Tavolini closed in December 2010.
They closed just a few weeks after filming, their answerphone said they were closing for "medical reasons". A For Sale sign appeared in the windows shortly after, although this was said to not effect the restaurant as it was rented. Many customers were disappointed as they had purchased gift certificates and a complaint was made to the Attorney General.
Weeks before the closure, Keith told the press he was struggling to pay rent, vendors. It was discovered that he had debts including tax owed to the city.
Keith was hoping to reopen the restaurant in March 2011 but this never happened. Some of the staff including Chef Michael Sirico are now working in B Line Bar & Grill in Black Rock.
Cafe Tavolini aired on March 25 2011, the episode was filmed in December 2010 and is Kitchen Nightmares season 4 episode 7.
"This is my son."
*shakes his hand even though he's met him earlier
*sneak increased to 100
Van has more spine than Keith. They should be proud of him. The kid told nothing but the truth.
#TeamVan
His stepfather threatened to elbow him? This is the type of guy you don't want anywhere near honest people
@@bsqrdmbetseYeah, the stepfather was a dickhead. Hopefully Van and his sister are doing well now.
It’s not hard to tell the truth it’s not it’s hard to tell truth to me
The owners divorced and the restaurant closed 6 months later, I really hope van and his sister went on to be successful
Cafe Tavolini closed in December 2011, which was just six months after the Cafe Tavolini Kitchen Nightmares episode aired. The old Cafe Tavolini location is now occupied by a new restaurant called Bryac Restaurant and Raw Bar, which focuses on seafood dishes.
As much as i love Van, his table-side manner when Gordon tasted the food was soooo casual
I prefer casual but friendly over the over the top smily ''polite''. I dont like rude behavior. But casual is great, makes me feel like I'm actualy interacting with a human being as a human being rather then a robot or a fake personality. To each their own I guess.
Van and his sister are the real MVPs. I hope they open a restaurant of their own because they'd do a fantastic job of running it
Yesssss and they should take Michael with them
They should take everyone with; everyone except their mum and Keith 😂@@mady3639
Seriously, all of the staff worked surprisingly well together -- you could tell they were trying their hardest, they just had to deal with some serious incompetence in management. All the staff were so professional, and were all on the same page of what exactly the problem was, they all gave the same, consistent response: owners were the problem.
The cooks didn't even get defensive about the food when Gordon didn't like it (as is often the case with the chefs) -- they took the criticism, already knew it was subpar, and were eager to change it. Up until then, they had been doing what they were told, by the incompetent owners.
The kids were mature and prepared to fix things, the whole staff was. Really sad that the key components were the problem, because the rest of the restaurant had such a good vibe with each other otherwise.
If only Joli and Van could take over and spearhead the restaurant. They had some great examples of what NOT to do.
as gordon would say "a romantic dinner ... more like a f*cked up dinner"
😂
Damm you got hearted by kitchen nightmares
@@zapzapgobrr128 ikr its sick
🔥🔥🔥
I get the impression that Gordon saw the closing right from the beginning when he saw the first service and how unmotivated Kieth was. Exceptional lesson in caring about others
Nah Keith would have caught these fucking hands with the way he talks.
The son looks like he was waiting for gordon for all his life 😂 I can't imagine how much he endured there
"your son not mine" that was honestly gross of him to say. He acknowledges him as a step father and cared about the family restaurant only to be spit on like that. He doesn't deserve to even look at the kid.
My step father has said this about me ever since I met him
@Goodyearmonkey Never forget that.
It's easy to kick the step-father for saying that, but have you ever come across mixed families where the maternal or paternal parent is very possessive of their child to the point of favoring them over their spouse? Or threatening their spouse with divorce if the latter parents with authority as the new mother or father? Easy to throw stones while watching a severely edited video that gives us almost zero context of a married couple. This show brings out the best and worst in us.
@@Goodyearmonkey- Each situation is unique. Some step-children are very disrespectful of the new step-parent. Or vice versa where the step-parent is not being a good fill-in. Maternal or paternal parents can also be so protective that the new spouse has almost zero authority as an elder/step-parent. Which can lead to big problems the blood parent and their spouse. Hopefully, y'all figure things out and love each other well as a family.
@@Goodyearmonkey I’m so sorry that happened to you..
How old were you Did your mother know about it?
The young lad is a good son, she should be proud of him. Better than she deserves in this episode.
everytime i watch an episode of this it just reminds me of my parent's sayings to "never own a business before working in a business"
Honestly, the fact that they would run in the car and order dinner when their restaurant is about to crash and burn speaks volumes about them. I feel sorry for the kids and the staff.
As in every other restaurant, every staff member takes a break to eat their dinner, but since this is a reality TV show, they only showed the owners.
@@KC-zw4mm that was not 'taking a break'...it was taking a stand that they are irresponsible! Even their own kid said 'you ordered this in your name'...like it wasn't normal. I'm glad he refused to give them cutlery. Do you think in general, people i hospitality get to take their breaks during busy lunch or dinner service? Because I assure you, they do not. I can see me now 'gee. I'm going to take my break now', during lunch service...yeah right!
@@KC-zw4mmYeah you don't get a specific time where you're capable of ordering food. In fact most places I've worked (currently a line cook) you're lucky if the kitchen ALLOWS you to make an order after close if they've been particularly busy. More often than not, we're taking a piece of food off YOUR plate after we've just finished making it so.
the time to eat if before starting the service hours. the time for a break (other than 5 minutes tops) is after the heavy traffic slows down@@KC-zw4mm
@@KC-zw4mm They're not just taking a break though, they're taking every opportunity to ignore the problems of the restaurant and sit outside or go home. They're also sitting in the car at the same time, anywhere else you would stagger your breaks so you always have someone on duty, not have both managers/owners disappear in the middle of the busiest period of service.
Here’s the Google status of the restaurant 10 September 2021:
Cafe Tavolini has a very sad ending. Keith and Lisa separated soon after filming and the restaurant really had no chance. The restaurant closed for good in December, 2011.
It seems the main reason for the closure is that Cafe Tavolini’s debt bill had just grown too large. With such a large debt to start with, I don’t think Gordon really had any chance with this restaurant.
Some of the staff, notably Chef Michael Sirico, have moved on to B Line Bar & Grill.
This is so sad.... Tavolini really had a potential, yet they got bogged down by their owner's incompetence :(
If they would have been honest with the numbers, Gordon might not have bothered in the first place. But honesty and these owners don't fit well together.
wait, it's all real?
@@gremlinwithgun7527 Well, the husband-wife relationship has been wrecked for 5 years, so it was probably already hard for them to keep working together.
I'm convinced most restaurants only went on this show for the free renovation and then they could try to sell the business for a bit more. Because most of these businesses end up like this. Huge amounts of debt. At the end of the day Gordon's help isn't really that helpful. His help will never shift the hundreds of thousands of debt.
The way Keith tried to console Gordan while Gordan was consoling his woman just sums up the type of dude keith is
"he's your son, not mine" I've had enough of that when I was a kid, so I can understand how much that shit hurts. I am just glad the mother didn't follow it up with "no, he's yours". That would be THE nail in the coffin.
That bastard owner gave me so many red flags. As someone who’s experienced abuse first-hand, he really seems like that type of person..
Nino would have pictures to prove the clams were stuffed before serving them to Gordon.
good job making a nino-joke...there shouldnt be a kitchen nightmares comment section without it...

The kids care about the restaurant more than the parents do
The Kitchen Nightmares videos are eye-opening. They show us what's going on in restaurant kitchens. I honestly lost trust in all restaurant food, even though not all restaurants are bad.
I want to check the food and fridges before eating at any restaurant because of this show
Keith: "I'm lazy and treat my stepkids like crap."
Van and Joli: "Both our mom and stepdad suck as business owners."
Lisa: "Our marriage won't survive if the business fails."
Am I the only one who is thinking the couple decided to buy the business in order to save a floundering marriage?
Shit was doomed from when I heard "step son'

it's like having kids. alot of couples think having a kid will save their relationships when it does the opposite. kids are stressful and need lots of tlc and money...just like restaurants. they should have just given it to van, he had a solid head on his shoulders
I can't understand how or why restaurants ends up like this. I worked in a pizzaria when I was 14-15, and it was the best work experience I've ever had. It was organized in an effective and logical way, and pizzas flew out. I grated cheese, cut mushrooms/beef/anything, then did cleanup and dishes during service. Loved that, even if boring, because the owner was a class act who set the mood in a positive spirit. When someone ordered anything but pizza (3-4 times a week) the chef and owner lit up and made it with tons of love and passion. Sometimes they sang and danced around while cooking, haha. It was unbelievable delicious food. I usually got a surprise pizza, surprise soda, or surprise extra cash. Kinda big when you're 14!
They later expanded the business to about 20 tables and focused more on italian dishes, and it's a raging success. So how tf anyone think a restaurant can be managed by screaming and yelling is besides me.
Simple: People with money drive by a closed restaurant and see a for sale sign, buy it, with no expierence or knowledge about restaurants. Or parents buy them for their spoilt brats (as seen before as well), while the spoilt brats don´t have any expierence either. There are some industries were people think "oh, its so easy to own this and you basically earn money without doing any work (bc staff) - and they are relatively easy to open - speaking from what I learned in my year living in the US, and this show (which of course are limited views) - every idiot is allowed to open a restaurant. In my country to be able to open a restaurant you need a license, which you only get if you did a three-year apprenticeship, (which involves working full time and some basic schooling) or you attendend a high school focused on tourism and such and internships as work expierence - which is also not a lot, but still better.
Honestly I wish I were you, I also started working since I was 13 yo. but in my case, my experience is pretty horrible. I'm happy to read that you had the opportunity to work in a really great atmosphere, I hope you'll have the same luck as back then!
@@jennuar2617 Did you start in the restaurant business? What do you mean by horrible? Was the kitchen in dismay, managment problems, bullying? Sorry to hear it was horrible. I've not had the same luck at all, everything has been going downhill since.
Because the failing ones are being leaded by lunatics
I wish my first job was like that. Instead I had a weird boss who would make inappropriate jokes and remarks and make everyone feel uncomfortable. Very toxic work environment.
That last one was scary. That man should be investigated, if he acts like that on national TV imagine what he does to them at home.
These people don’t need Gordon (well, the restaurant does). They need counselling and/or lawyers.
Can we talk about Van protecting Lisa more than Lisa protecting him 💀
11:25
"Your son not mine"
WOW step-father of the year
Keith is such a waste of space.
He’s not wrong though
@@NatTBK he's not wrong, that doesn't mean he can threaten and hit a boy just because it's "not his son"
I feel like maybe even actual parents just want to say that sometimes because my mom would say to my biological dad “look at your daughter this has nothing to do with me” I’m like there were witnesses seeing me coming out of your body what do you mean mom
The dad saying its your son not mine would have had me walking away
At least the son is honest
I'm so sorry for their mature kids, they were so commited and for all the staff. It would have been wonderful of they could get into the business and run the renovated restaurant
We need more people like Van and Joli
*we need to be like Van and Joli*
I hope they’re doing well now.
@@roshna6185
I wanna be like Jeff, the guy is a loveable dork and actually managed to turns thing around. One of the few owners I actually like in NK.
@@LinhNguyen. I am sure about Joli but I have heard that Van now works at a used car lot selling ironically Vans (not kidding).
Unfortunately, Cafe Tavolini has a very sad ending.
Keith and Lisa separated soon after filming and the restaurant really had no chance.
The restaurant closed for good in December, 2011.
Van is a great young man. Really cared about the place. Such a shame he was let down.
That kid is the adult in the business.
I know right
The fact that the mom is also still childish like ordering her own meal while on dinner service and saying: "I'm starving." Like a kid who begs for food and then eating in the car with her lazy ass husband. What kind of owner ordering their own food in the dinner service? Shouldn't they eat before dinner service and show up at the restaurant?
Van, Joli and Michael are the real owners not them!
@@margarethmichelina5146 Seriously mad respect for their kids and especially the staff for stick around so long dealing with this shit. Everyone cared for the restaurant exempt for the owners.
@@Dimitris4110 The owners are more care about themselves even in Lisa's apology letter, she didn't mention how she lets her employees including her kids down. What a shitty couple. I'm glad they got divorced later because they don't deserved each other.
A whole episode?
Quite the generosity here.
it is full episode friday
@@astrangeryouvemetontheinte8546 what? They post full episodes on Fridays?
@@JoCaTen yes
@@JoCaTen yes
@@JoCaTen yes
This place closed just a few weeks after they filmed.
Every restaurant that Gordon goes to 'save' ends up closing.
I'm beginning to think he's not very good at this restaurant thing...
Respect to the admin. Every Friday goes down.
This channel is one thing that really makes my Fridays great!
@@r3tr0gam3r89 its gonna be a sad day when he uploads all the episodes :(
Exactly! ❤️
@@zetsokuro2614 and then they can start uploading Hotel Hell episodes!
@@laurensmith4850 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She said the business had affected her marriage ?! No . This husband looks like a bad man, blaming her, fleeing , talking bad. He just showed his real nature.
And she finds him excuses.
Like how my mother does with her stupid bf
@@rafaela356 I hope it doesn't last. Step parents can be the worst thing to a family. I was a homeless teenager after my stepdad hit me, but that was a long time ago. And now he's my bin man 😁 the irony of life.
@@PowerMadLabRat yeah i hope so too and lol
@@PowerMadLabRat plus the most biggest revenge is to be more succesul than them and I will and good joob for making your life better
Gordon can be brutally honest yet extremely humble at the same time. What a chad
“He’s your son, not mine”
I would’ve answered that with “I’m so glad that bastard isn’t my real father, why’d you married that guy?”
I appreciate the honesty of the show, just showing how the restaurant closed up. Some people might interpret it like Gordon Ramsay failed, but really it's up to the owners.
this show actually opened up my eye on food business since my parents owns a restaurant (low to mid class, not the likes of which is shown in KN). Many of the advice he give is actually pretty solid based on the performance of our store.
1. Owner must always be there to monitor the staff(since my mother is sick, the performance of our restaurant has a noticeable dent due to staff problem, rectified by promoting my sisters in law(she was already working on the place, but as a cashier) to replaced my mom. Everything she sees there is reported back to my mother and she become my mouther's right hand man.)
2. Taking care of the restaurant cleanliness has both physical and mentally benefits(it shows you actually care about the damn place and makes you feel proud to work there. Not to mention the hygiene.)
3. Always cook fresh food with fresh ingredient.(Ngl however, that this practice nearly drove us to bankruptcy when Covid-19 hits. Its simply hard to keep fresh food in when the price of the goods began skyrocketing and our reg. customers were no longer coming. Thankfully we managed to hold on long enough until the situation recovered.)
@@Iwanwahid1969 yoh, you guys and your business is awesome, pitching in extra effort and cass just to keep the standards of the food the same
@@Iwanwahid1969 glad you pulled through. Hope you guys thrive now.
most restronts in this show do not make it. the debts kill them or even with the changes its not enough to save them. some are just sold off after filming.
NO ONE would accuse Ramsay of failing except you man.
The restaurant turned into disappointment again and completely shut down after a few weeks of this episode aired. The owners went indifferent and were under debt. Keith and Lisa also separated.
She should have divorced him when he said "Your son. Not mine". Tells all you need to know..!
The restaurant was already in too much debt before Gordon arrived. He was too little too late before coming here. So not much of a surprise that they closed soon after.
Hope Van and Joli (the kids) are doing better.
Of course, it was pretty clear what was going to happen.
@@fardilhusain The show is entertaining but they always do this. They help restaurants that are already deep in debt they just close a few weeks after getting the renovation.
Gordon always knows exactly what to say and do to shock people into changing themselves for the better. That's a great quality to have. It often looks like aggression or anger to many people, but in reality it's the emotion of a big heart that wants to do good for people.
I gotta say, at the second dinner service (after the "closing" of the restaurant) even though I dont agree with the way Keith and Lisa handled the situation, I understand why it happened, and personally think that is was to be expected. Those two basically never did a thing. They have no knowledge, no experience and no confidence in the roles they were asigned to. Van and his sister (who I honestly forgot the name of right now) would make an excelent team in running the restaurant. Or at least in getting their parents to do so. Van is the one that cares more about the restaurant itself it seems. And he seems like he as a good idea on how to run it. His sister on the other hand, is the one with the actual balls to put things into action and tell the parents where things are at. Those two combined would work so well.
"I've never seen such a dysfunctional service in my life" - Gordon every single episode
The very first restaurant I saw in this show that the people in the kitchen didn't flip out to Gordon! And the nicest people in the kitchen that I saw!
I will never understand why people open a restaurant who've never worked in hospitality. It's like a doctor opening a construction company
Love love love how the big GR got up and went thru to the kitchen when it sounded like the stepdad was bullying the mum
😂
I cannot believe the kid came back to reintroduce himself...
Secret agent Van 😎
When i see this episode, it looks like keith has abuser tendency and lisa married with keith without consulting with her son and daughter.
Oh totally. he's so manipulative with blaming his wife for everything too. Everything is either Van's or Lisa's fault, never his.
@@katiewallis4788Lisa is equally shitty
@@ish_vids how so?
@@ish_vids nvm, i commentsd before i saw her sitting in a car with her husband complaining about how hungry she is😭 so childish
