Imagine watching your husband work 12 hour days while you don't work and blame him for not taking care of you.
That’s like a sixteen hour work day. Not including the time before he actually gets to the restaurant 😢
Sounds like the average woman in the US these days.
I disagree on that. Many women work in US. The ones that are SAHW don't act like her. I think I know 5 housewives and the rest work.
She came from Mexico hoping for a wealthy comfy life. When times were hard she left back to Mexico and left him with all the debt.
I could not live with myself I can't stand this woman
Greg was actually one of the best guys in this series. His food wasn't the best, but it wasn't rotten or out of date. He never served anything that was unclean or bad for the customers. He just didn't have the right guidance or support.
I hope Greg is living his best life.
I think Chef Ramsey finally understood why the restaurant is the way it is after talking to the wife for 5 minutes!! The disrespect to Chef Ramsey when she kept saying "Let me talk"!!! No, you need to LISTEN FOR ONCE!! A PIECE OF DUCT TAPE WOULD BE SO HELPFUL RIGHT NOW!!
His food needed seasoning and to not be microwaved 😂
@@nicoleraheem1195 broski you would be surprised with how much food get microwaved in kitchens
@@nicoleraheem1195yes plenty of chefs both Profesional or just line cooks make videos about the things they do make ahead and microwave for quick service. We microwaved chili at huddle house
unfortunately the business failed and so did his marriage
“I don’t know if it’s my fault but I know it’s my responsibility” any real father or husband felt that
That's a man! And he deserves a better wife.
While that’s a nice thing to hold responsibility…through the course of the episode, it shows the importance of a need to work as a family unit.. to communicate and talk to one another and realistically approach the problems they’re facing. (While if it would work for this family or not…that’s another thing entirely😅)
Made me tear up.
This restaurant wasn’t a nightmare. Definitely a “wife” nightmare.
wifemare
I suspect she may have reverted to her old ways after Gordon left (remember he had to step in and give her a talking to even during thr relaunch). They subsequently divorced and in 2019, six years after the restaurant closed, he got engaged to Maria, the server who took Ramsey's order when he arrived. The business falied for the same reason that many others in Kitchen Nightmares did: the accumulated debt was simply too big for it to survive.
Maybe because, as it turns out, hubby was banging the waitress the whole time and ended up marrying her
@@maunsell24 Him trading in the old bag for a younger model makes this episode a happy ending.
A huge oversight here, Gordon had no fridge or freezer issues here! Massive respect to Greg for a clean and safe kitchen.
Even the ingredienc were good enough for Ramsay to NOT rant about them.
He said nothing bad about the décor (I count authentic as a compliment and "It´s gorgeous" is a high praise in my books).
So yes Greg did a great job.
not sure but it could have been cut out in the interest of time and/or story... but yeah they might also have a clean fridge
The kind of woman that would throw you under a bus and swear in court that you jumped!
With a wife like that, I'd check my insurance policies!
@@andygee8716 Greg is a man?
_"I don't like the kitchen, because it's too tiny kitchen....It's too hot."_ -- The audacity of this woman.
And she said it in front of the celebrity chef who spends his entire life in kitchen to cook and even has a show called "Hell's Kitchen"
I can’t even find the words what to describe her you guys just ordered in your head please what I think and a woman is that I don’t can go to kitchen because too hot but she let her husband to suffer that all day wow I cannot describe what I feel
She`s some caracter. I will go home to Mexico, is it not hot in Mexico?
Definition of "If you can't handle the heat step out the kitchen" 😂 She shouldn't be on this job.
bill burr mentality exactly right
UPDATE- Zocolo's closed for the holidays in 2013 and didn't reopen. Mary and Greg divorced during this period of time. Greg remarried the waitress Maria, who is in this episode, and he is now a manager of a different restaurant.
Hopefully his new wife is more supportive of how hard this man works. Mary seemed to only want to stick around if Greg could provide for her. That's shallow imo.
He remarried Maria? That's priceless, but honestly good for him he deserved SO much better than Mary. Thanks for the update, it's always appreciated on these videos!
Wow, the dude really likes his women..spicy
Hope he's happy now. He seemed so stressed with Mary
Has anyone considered that he was already involved with Maria the waitress and the wife could sense it but was too proud to voice that she knew and THAT'S why she was bitter and THAT'S why she put everything on him? Because she was angry and betrayed?
I mean, on the surface, he seems great. But maybe there was more than one reason that Greg ALWAYS wanted to be at the restaurant and why his wife was so angry.
@rebekahcallahan1027 always wanting to shift blame to the man huh? Typical.
Daughter calling her father Greg. Is heart wrenching.😢
“Daughter”. This woman doesn’t strike me as the loyal type. Greg is just the sucker paying.
I was confused when I hear her say Greg like is that his step kid?
@@TheLitRight She might not be the greatest person, but that's an extreme and ridiculous assumption to make.
They were his stepkids.
The restaurant closed down a year later after the episode.
He is in a lot of debt
And they are divorced
@@83YETTABABYThank you for the tea
The fact she had to think if she still loved him says everything, guy deserved better
In that moment I paused video and went into comments. I really felt sorry for Greg.
She just married him for the visa
I mean the footage was clearly cut and edited to make the pause. No real person would take 7 seconds to answer if you love your wife/husband while being filmed.
Looks at how many reaction shots are crammed in between her words.
Not saying she is a good supporting wife, but that pause was all in the edit.
@@adamchoquette1937 yes it's the editing. don't be dumb guys! if she wouldn't love him she wouldn't get swooped up in emotions and start crying
@@Loraxius nah after this video in 2013 the restaurant closed after the holiday and greg divorced and married one of the waitress(i forgto which one)
Can we all just appreciate how one man kept that ship afloat... AND THERE WAS NO NASTY WALKIN FRIDGE OR GREASY DIRT ALL OVER!?! -He singlehandedly did better than most other restaurants on this show...
It was refreshing seeing him clean. 1st Chef on the show (or any of the other reality tv "kitchen" show with Gordon)
kinda true but in fact he never checked right? he wasnt "me checking kitchen" and saying oh cool theres nothing wrong here everything is clean i like that he just pointed out that stove is old. also there was one episode with segregation and labeling he was shocked how well its organised but still rated food as awful same like here. so ofc he deserves credits but he didnt make miracle he wasnt so amazing as you sugesting just normal hard working guy. its insane that others had so neglected kitchen
@@meanral keeping a ship afloat doesn't equal having the most successfull ship ever seen... Just means nobody drowned... So I don't think I gace him too much credit as is... 🤗
I like how when this was filmed the prices on the menu were considered ridiculous and 'not cheap' as gordon said and the past couple years now those are like Taco Bell prices with a discount.
@@kishascape it does truly date this episode
“I don’t like working” is the laziest and most unwilling statement I’ve ever heard
I agree. She’s lazy & acts spoiled
Ehhh, who the fuck *likes* working?
Now, add in the context of saying that on camera, trying to get sympathy, while your spouse works 15 hour days every day at your family business... then it's pretty impressively vile.
And entitled. She wanted the world, but expected someone else to hand it to her on a silver platter.
@@codegavranplenty of people. We don’t like it but we do it. Especially when your 750k in debt and losing your house.
Typical Mexican. Easier to sit around getting the government check.
Greg was undoubtedly my favorite character in any kitchen nightmares episode ever. A true stand up guy, clean kitchen, clean food. All he wanted to do was run a successful business and provide for his family. Never once did he question chef Ramsay either.
Man, even from the initial sit down. The husband saying "I don't know whether it's my fault or not that the restaurant isn't doing well. But I know it's my responsibility."
Such a good mentality.
But his wife not taking responsibility at all
@@randomina465 True. It's like
Greg - "Responsibility, want to provide, must find a way, do it for them"
Mary - "Gotta think of myself, what I like, my dreams, my relationship, will bail if he fails"
That's true masculininty there.
@@TheDogGoesWoof69 Holy racism 😂
@@TheDogGoesWoof69Hamburger 🍔 making might be easier
Mary's disrespectful, lazy, entitled, manipulative. I feel so bad for Greg. He's a respectable, hardworking man with a whiney wife that doesn't even do anything.
I'm a woman and I have made mistakes and dated shitty men, but... WOW! When I see some men and their toxic gfs/spouses and that they're not even thinking about dumping them, I feel lucky. I immediately throw out the trash; as soon, as I have identified it as such. No mercy for a**holes with personality disorders!
@Unterdessen 8 what do you consider a shitty man, genuine question, what they have done bad?
@@unterdessen8822 Of course you have, all women can't shut up about dating "shitty/toxic" men, never thinking they're the problem, it was always every man. If every man you've dated is shitty, it's only a record of your shitty choices and your low value.
Girls dump dudes over tiniest shit and call them toxic. Entitled, whiny, fickle. You have not a red flag, you have an entire communist parade of red flags. Guys, never date a woman who only has the worst to say about her exes. Either she's right and they were asshole, which means she has a history of wrong priorities and bad choices, or she's wrong and probably the abusive one herself.
Absolutely. And she basically admitted she’s a gold digger
@@unterdessen8822 its this mentatlity of I don't want to be single, I suspect with a lot of women like that they somehow manage to spin it as if the guy was the issue etc
Greg defended his wife by deflecting Ramsay's question and answering that Mary works 'part time'. love that their daughter had no problem throwing mom under the bus and saying outright it was basically three days a week.
Greg is ABSOLUTELY the cleanest nicest appreciative loving chef / owner. I so hope that this place makes it . Greg is the only chef that is truly receptive to Chef Ramsays suggestions without the nasty ego , without swearing , and how refreshing that he is so respectful.. This is truly. REAL MAN ! A REAL MAN, WHO IS taking advantage of this gift from Chef Ramsay.. I’m sure Chef Ramsay loved this interaction as well.
The place closed down a year later, he's still in a lot of debt, and is now divorced. Poor guy, he deserved way more.
This the most respectful chef owner ever showed up in this show. Gordon didn't even have to argue to make his point cause this chef/owner knows he needs help. SALUTE
Unlike others who feel the right to shout and argue with him
What a sweet, sweet man, n a lazy narcissist wife. He is working his a.. off , yet she has convinced him, the downfall is his fault
@@golnazshush5380 I know...and she is not even cute or sweet...I don't see any redeeming qualities. I wouldn't want to work with her!
Bad for the ratings 😂 Gordon won't have been happy
wouldn't want to BE with her lol
Me: "I wonder what's wrong with this restaurant"
Owner: "I don't like working"
Me: "Well there's your problem..."
Mary has nothing of value to say.
@@allegramisereri9462 "My life no same as beginning"
It bout to change a whole lot more when you gotta work full time after Greg ditches your liable ass 👌😂
Mary: "I can cook better than him"
Then show it! Why are you just standing around and keep nagging with that annoying voice?
😂😂😂
@@margarethmichelina5146 her voice is more weirder then donald duck choking an eggplant
“What is Caca” -“cmon man..” killed me
For anyone wondering the cheese that he used in the chiles is “Queso de Freír” or frying cheese. It’s meant to be fried so it won’t melt. It’s a staple in Puertorrican and Dominican cuisine 😊
It's pronounced BGREEE-AIR
Thank you, I was wondering if my brain had picked up something that translated into "frying/fried" with the hodgepodge of different amounts of languages I've learnt over the years.
What sort of things do you use it in? Always eager to get myself some more recipes from outside my experience.
...and also the exact wrong type of cheese to use in a chile relleno 😅
Queso frito 😂 definitely the wrong cheese for that dish lol
@@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS the cheese is fried on its own. In Puerto Rico we eat it as an appetizer served with guava sauce . In Dominican Republic we eat it with a dish called Mangu, which is boiled and mashed plaintains with pickled onions . 👌🏻
Greg's patience is out of this universe. If the world is falling apart he'd still be cooking
fr tho
Well im glad to tell you he is now happily married to the waitress maria from the beginning of the episode, and is raising the kids with her. His restraunt did close down, but he now manages 2 restraunts
@@perrywakeman4087 that is great news if true
@@perrywakeman4087 But then, you realize that Maria might be in the same age as his daughters or probably 5 or 10 years older than them. Also, they used to be co-workers, so it's gonna be awkward when one of your co-worker married your dad and become your step-mom.
@@margarethmichelina5146 who gives a rat's ass if they are happy
"I go back to Mexico." That would solve all Greg's problems.
😂😂😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂she doesn't love him
LMFAOOOOOOO
@@NLR759 You do realize that was at the time Greg's wife.. All she did was come in 3 days and run her mouth and threw everything on Greg's shoulder's.
You seem to have the same mindset as her, Which I in a way hope you stay single and lonely.
@@YukiPyro He's a wanker but I don't wish loneliness and being single for a lifetime for anyone.
"I don't know if it's my fault, but it's my responsibility".
That's a man right there.❤
Nothing more heart breaking then seeing a good man marry the wrong woman. He is literally a one man band, just hiring a chef would be the biggest load off his shoulder, but he doesnt have the support. Literally its the "they are there when he is succesful, and not there when not."
Look at this poor man's selfish and entitled family. The guy works 14 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year and they say they didn't know he needs help and support. The least they could give him is love and respect for working so hard. This is just painful to watch. Poor guy, I wish him all the best.
So much for male privilege!
If he left her, place would close. He could get a job where he actually earned money working half the hours and have time to go out and find another woman who was not a total bitch.
@@secondchance6603 Privilege has nothing to do with isolated example. All dogs are not poodles but all poodles are dogs.
@@secondchance6603 how does that correlate with this isolated case….
Yeah, compared to the family from Sushi Ko when both of the wifes are the problem, the kids from Sushi Ko are genuinely worry to him while these 2 daughters are not. But, I do admit both of 2 daughters are also hardworking like him as one is a server and one is a bartender.
Greg actually took care of his restaurants, he didn't try to degrade Gordon's skills as a chef and admitted from the start they needed help. He's a breath of fresh air
He is one of the few individuals who has actually been so respectful towards Gordon from the start
17:30 I love how respectful the assistant cook is.🥹❤️His parents raised him right! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Damn.. 3 cold witches, under one roof, and nobody appreciates the man doing all the work. I don't want to work, I want to move back to Mexico. This guy is a real man.
7 waitresses and no money for another chef✍️🏽
Zocalo closed January 2013, it is reported that it closed for the holidays and did not re-open.
After Zocalo closed, Greg and Mary divorced and he married Maria, a waitress featured in the episode.
I scrolled through the comments in the hope of finding out the aftermath. Thank you!
REALLY?
Good for him, that entitled woman child had it coming
Maria as old as his daughter lol
I knew that dude had a thing for that waitress lmao
Greg's eyes just scream "I'm on a sinking ship but I'll hold it as long as I can!". I respect him enormously.
@@karlwithak.I can still respect the one guy throwing out buckets of water from a sinking ship when everyone else is twiddling their thumbs… and ones makes the hole bigger
He's working himself to the ground and all three woman in his life are just 🙈🙉🙊
@karlwithak.Your respect was never needed in the first place. Just because you can’t see the hard-working person Greg is when surrounded by mediocrity says enough about you as a whole. You can keep the pessimistic perspective to yourself. Stay bitter
@karlwithak. You can only see from your narrow perspective. No point in arguing with someone who doesn’t listen to understand but listen to respond
@karlwithak. it's a ladder of respect. Gordon's top for me, then Greg because he's trying. Sometimes that's all a person can do in a situation that's put upon them.
Greg actually seemed to admit his problems and kept a clean kitchen whilst his wife pretty much tried to mouth him off in front of Ramsay.
“I can’t cook. The kitchen is a hot. Is a no good” 🤢
One talk doesn't change a person, people that age don't work that way. That single tear hit deep. I know the place closed but I wish that man the best, truly.
Geez, I can't imagine the stress the guy had to live with. The wife expected him to hold the whole business on his shoulders while she was doing god knows what during the day. Wtf. I'm glad they got divorced and he moved on with someone else. Greg, if you're reading this, good job! I hope you're happy!
Wow, I actually thought she got it. But he's probably doing better now.
I thought I saw a fake smile and tension from her at the end. Good thing my people radar wasn't completely off.
Greg seems like such a great guy. I, too, hope he's happy now.
'take care of the family or I'm going back to mexico'. Completely makes it sound like she's was only there cuz she found an American that owns a business to marry.
Were did u find that out xx
Is that true? Or Fake?
''I know how intense Ramsay is, however... Have you met my wife?'' MADE ME LAUGH SO LOUD
The moment my gal becomes half entitled as the man's wife I will dump her.
I was not living with his wife 5 minutes, where it was his head to get married for this woman
Chef Ramsey needs to spend about 30 minutes listening to the wife complain about EVERYTHING! Then he'll understand why the poor man is the way he is!! She CONTROLS EVERYTHING !
😂😂😂😂
She is so awful
poor guy. you can tell hes a good dude. stands his ground but doesnt raise his voice at all.
Every episode increases my respect for Gordon... He not only helps bring businesses back to life but he fixes families too. Couple counseling.
Gordon can really bring families together, I agree, but in this case the couple gets divorced. And for good reason, Mary does not deserve this man.
right 😮he is a literal therapist to them
Greg seemed like a man on a sinking ship, desperately bailing buckets in silence alone. The anxiety he must have felt must have been overwhelming.
First time I heard a chef with realistic expectations.
He's really humble and he realize he doesn't have the same standard like Chef Ramsay. But, the problem is he shut down from his family and he constantly bickering with his nagging and lazy wife. I'm glad they got divorced later after the restaurant closed and Greg married Maria, the waitress who served Gordon.
@Robert Thorpe In this case it certainly was. There’s no fixing a lazy, entitled spouse when they clearly don’t even want to try.
Let's be honest, if Mary ran back south, it would thrive.
@@margarethmichelina5146 wait a second you mean after Ramsay fixed that restaurant it shut down after he left?
@@ahmedmohammad6099 there have been many restaurants that closed months after gordon ramsay left because some people go back to their old ways once he is gone
That one tear Greg cried broke my heart. I think this guy is kind, steadfast and strong. He deserve to be successful. I hope he finds time to himself and his family and relax.
He needs to start with getting rid of his ass wife
Unfortunately he died from a cardiac arrest in 2018 august

@@META-1233 He isn't dead, and certainly not in 2018, he got married in 2019 :P
i just (finally) realised how much Gordon is not only a chef, but a family therapist. what a guy
He is one of the most genuinely likeable amd reasonable owners of all the episodes ive seen
One of the few who wasn't a deluded ego maniac, instead he was humble and just needing some help/guidance from someone with more experience.
Greg, the biggest gigachad on Kitchen Nightmares, Massive respect to him.
unfortunately it's not a gigachad trait to marry a gold digger and keep taking crap from her. it's much more like a Melvin (low tier normie) trait.
@@BPFACTS88 he divorced her after the episode and married Maria (one of the servers) some time after. He seems to be a manager at another restaurant and seems to be doing well. Good for him, im happy he got out of that horrible marriage

Massive props and respect for a man who carried not only himself, but a dying business and relationship for a woman and daughters that didn't even genuinly care about him... God bless him.
😪
Agreed. Daughters are worthless also
🙏🏽🎚️
I don't think you should lump the daughters in with their mother, they actively worked there more than their mom and helped support him where they could, but as Gordon said "He's a one man band" he wasn't open for help in the kitchen, WHICH HE NEEDED. Just look at the scene where he had Jerome with him waiting to do something but not able to because Greg wanted to do everything. Still the wife is at fault for a lot, but I won't pretend the husband is a complete victim in this situation, to get help you need to be open for help.
@@smiley4995
Ana called him Greg. The three of them showed little emotion for his struggles. I can see how one could interpret that they don’t care as much for him, even if that’s not true.
Zocalo closed January 2013, it is reported that it closed for the holidays and did not re-open.
After Zocalo closed, Greg and Mary divorced and he married Maria, a waitress featured in the episode.
Greg is currently Manager at The Walrus Oyster and Ale House.
I always love it whenever Gordon not only goes out of his way to help a resturaunt but to also help a relationship that clearly isn't going well.
It looks like something out of Harry Potter - Gordon actually said calmly
*cough...ahem......sniff*
DIDYAPUTYARNAMEINDAGOBLETOFFIYAH!?!?

“IT’S FUCKING RAW!!!!!!” Gordon said calmly.
DID YOU PUT UNSEASONED CACTUS IN THE GOBLET?
I am possibly actually in love with your profile picture and name
Not only is Gordon one of the best chefs in the world, but he's one of the best family councillors.
Yeah, lets wait for another post to see the same fking comment
@@purplenight7749 "hurr durr Gordon's therapist needs a therapist after this" etc. etc.
Pls kill me now.
No he isn't the best family therapist, he just knows how family restaurants work and able to recognize when something is wrong. He's also able to push things to the right direction a thing that everyone who has some observation skills would be able to do. The problem is that when Gordon goes away, the family still needs some initial support to deal with the problems accumulated within years. Some families are able to deal with them by themselves meanwhile others fall apart mostly due to the lack of communication.
@@George-qm6wi someone applaud for this guy
Marco pierre white would disagree, Gordon's been really awful to him
His sous chef cracked me up "i feel like your little brother. I feel so bad for you right now" 😂 (I've probably misquoted but thr vibe is right)
greg is such a sweetheart, he deserves better, my heart broke when he said how long his days were he is definitely a hard worker, if only the restaurant were to work out for him :(
Don't anybody overlook the sous chef. He seems like a really nice, supportive bloke!
True! He seemed like Greg's only friend in this mayhem
he was the only 1 hyping Greg up lmao
Finally, someone notice Jerome.
I was a sous chef for 8 years, and we are completely overlooked by most, but the head chef loves you like a bro, and he can't tick without you, its a bro-mance for life. What's ironic is, my head chef was exactly like Greg, he worked tirelessly, one time he even fell asleep while we were eating together. That's when we work even harder for him to step back and take a break. Very unhealthy work but very satisfying. With the right team it's a dream.
props. man, i see myself when he's asking the head chef "can you let me help you..?" ain't easy being second but dang sure glad i'm not first!@@L1AM_20_10
My heart broke for this man. He’s such an amazing and hard working man. Such a shame his family was no support for him.

It's more about giving them at least some space. It was obvious Gordon truly felt sorry for how Maria treated Greg.
The restaurant closed in 2013 and did not reopen after the holiday season.
After Zocalo closed, Greg and Mary divorced and he married Maria, a waitress featured in the episode.

I liked Greg, seemed a good man. I hope he's happy in life
he dropped Mary for Maria lmao same name different language
Waw, in the back of my mind I was thinking that they'll divorce after failing the business but I'm sorry, I feel it is good news, also Greg marries a supportive wife is even a better news, I hope God rewards him after these years of struggle and suffering this frustration and daily torture.
The restaurant closed because all the staff tested positive for Covid-19.

The thumbnail looks like a molcajete served by my favorite Mexican restaurant. OMG so good. Ours is less soupy looking. It’s pulled pork, jack cheese, onions, mushrooms, peppers and a red chili sauce all boiling and sizzling when they bring it out. Totally under-appreciated menu item. Most customers are regulars and stare in amazement when it comes out to me.
Let that sous chef be the great sous chef he is Something tells me that man has a lot of wisdom and patience he doesn't show much on this video I can tell this is a good man with a lot of Virtues and values and a lot of talent if given the opportunity
Greg is so relatable, i think, to a lot of people that he cant ask for help even if he needs it more than anything. Never should anyone be in this position that you feel like you cant ask for help for any reason.
i completely agree

nah fam , the poor dude was screaming for help but nobody has the will to listen . its like screaming in a concert where everybody is focused on their shows , his daughters literally said they know he's struggling but didnt talk much about it because he didnt ask , its like a person who just got hit by a damn truck but no one helped because the person didnt ask for help lol
The biggest compliment for Gregs abilities was the fact that Gordon didn't search for a chef to train him, but instead came to this arrangement with the culinary school! That means he trusts Greg to run a kitchen perfectly fine
*Gordon: hello?*
*Mary: EH-*
In case you’re wondering, the restaurant closed less than a year after this episode aired. 😢 Source: Philadelphia Magazine, “Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares Couldn’t Save Zocalo”
Thank you so much looking was looking for this comment
Mary is such a crappy and entitled human being. It’s sad that her being nice to Greg didn’t last long since it appears they closed soon after. Greg and his daughters deserve so much in the world and Mary doesn’t deserve them.

What crazy to me is that when an owner lists all the stuff they do Gordon and the viewers just know that its waffle. But this guy, everyone knew straight away he was an honest, hardworking man.
Greg is my favourite chef / owner on the show… he isn’t entitled, egotistical, or arrogant… hes honest, hardworking, and actually trying to benefit the business, he deserved to be succeeded

After the place shut down they divorced and he remarried to Maria, and now manages a different restaurant with her.
This is a rare episode where the chef is not delusional or doesn't care. He worked 14-15 hrs a day while he carried the entire weight of the business and family on his shoulders. He needed the support of his wife more than anything, but instead he got abuse. Like chef Ramsay I was really rooting for his success. I am sorry the restaurant failed, but glad he is out that toxic marriage.
That's both bad and good to hear, I hope he's living a happier life now!
He worked 20 hours a day basically. He would get up at 5:30am and wouldn't go to bed till probably 12:30-1am. Man literally was on 4-5 hours of sleep every single day non stop for years. That's INSANE. The potential that this man has is absolutely incredible, far superseding that of every single other chef that has ever been on this show. He might be one of those rare people who can survive on a few hours of sleep a night. Things like that show that there is a purpose for everything, if God didn't influence that mutation in this man, the restaurant would've fallen under far before it ever did, we would've never heard of it.
I hope he still has access to his kids
@@johnnytower6169they seem to be adults so it would be their choice
@@steveng6721 I guess so, but sometimes family moves away or sides with a parent based on half truths. Family separation can be a total mess and perceptions can be warped
Man, Greg is awesome. Such a good dude just in over his head
Greg is a stand up guy. He is definitely one other most likeable owners featured on the show. I wish him and his family nothing but health, happiness, and success.
If i had a restaurant I would hire Greg instantly. Every boss wants a hardworking guy like Greg. He will do everything and he will be there everytime u need him and he will deliver. Such an respectable and amazing guy
Greg IS the boss, he's not there to be hired!
Yeah. I feel for him, I was in a similar position before, working way too much for way too long until I burned out and even if I wanted there wasn't much I could do to right that ship, the quality of my work had gone significantly downhill and I was making simple mistakes that I didn't even make when I was new. I ended up leaving that position when my manager agreed to hire 3 guys to replace me.
I'm still working at the same place, just a higher position now in a different area.
@@kittykat8177 Well, He closed the restaurant and he is hired now. Remember his 300.000$ debt he mentioned at the beginning ?
Im not a native english so i might be wrong, but didnt he say "three quarters of a millions dollars" ?
Wich means 750k ?
@@darmius4697 yes
When Greg started recounting how his working day goes and says "..clean the toilet/bathroom.." I was like hold up, you're a chef, you're not supposed to clean any toilets or bathrooms in your restaurant...that's a job for other staffs of the restaurant to do...I mean, I get it if he says he cleans the kitchen but damn, for a chef to clean the toilet of his restaurant when he's supposed to focus on the kitchen just says a lot about the unbalanced restaurant dynamics doesn't it? Poor guy, he does everything and gets nothing...
Yeah that came to memory when I heard his daughters say "Just tell us how". You know how. Look what is he doing and do some stuff. But who wants to clean toilets? Also copying Mother figure of the year would have made them worse than good. ^^
And he did it alone and his so called wife didnt lift a finger.
@@PrinceOfPlateia
Now that's a real man!
With this crazy routine and work 14 hours/day the whole year. Man has my truly respect.
Loved Greg, also felt a bit sorry for him.
Shameful that daughter never stood up for their Father and his respect despite seeing all that abuse happening to him In front of their eyes !
Greg is the embodiment of a man. He actually will have an impact on my life from just how much of a role model he owns! Full respect
Dude that was the most emotional episode so far I think, Greg seems like such a good and responsible man, love that dude and wish his family all the best ❤️
The restaurant is closed, He divorced and married Maria the waitress appearing in the show
@@axeljeanguyot5401 how is that in any way relevant?
@@MuiKaHo cause it seems kinda scummish but good for Greg I guess. Sucks for his ex and kids
@@MuiKaHo Well it's basically a good thing, he got rid of the old mexican hag, and now has another job in a restaurant as a manager. His comment was relevant, your comment trying to make a scene isn't.
Akira @sushi ko is 100% the most emotional one for me. That guy just looks like he's had the soul sucked out of him at the start.
She has attitude, alright. She barely lifts a finger, admits she doesn't want to work at all, creates constant tension whenever she is present (as rare as that might be) and then to top it all tells her husband, who is crying on the inside for help and doing basically all the work, she will leave him if he doesn't step up. Incredible...
Also nothing better someone with a strong accent shouting customers' orders at you. I'll be like "What was that?" all the time. LOL
on the other hand, if he divorces her it should be pretty easy to find someone better lmao
@@therottweiler9238 He did, waiter Maria I think, after the closure of the restaurant.
@@mark030a i realy hope so
@@mark030a and Maria is a beauty!
Just like Manuel from the British sitcom fawlty towers lol
You can tell Ramsy has respect for Greg here. After trying the food he would usually go ballistic over quality that low, but he kept his tone pretty level. Overall he talked very sincerely to Greg.
Humble and respectful man that wants to do better, works hard as well. What more can you ask from a person?
She’s so lazy idk how anybody could stand being married to someone like that. He literally does 100% of the work and she has the audacity to criticize and tell him what to do. Unreal
Greg is probably one of the nicest, respectful, and most passionate owners featured in kitchen nightmares. I spent my whole night crying when Greg cried because his wife was asked if she still love him. That tear was so sad 😢
@yours_truly_anne - Hi from the UK, I agree Gregg is a great guy but am worried if his wife went back to 😳🤐after Gordon went . I don't suppose you have any idea do you? Kind regards from the UK. ♥️🇬🇧♥️
I don't believe she does love him. I think she was trying to tell herself/Gordon that she did. Love is not just the feeling of affection towards someone. Love encompasses every part of human life, it is a feeling, a dream, a belief, a perspective, and a mode of action.
She consistently prioritized herself over him in every way, she was selfish, she viewed him as the reason for her problems, she didn't respect him, her dream was not to work alongside him, it was to profit from him. Even at the end, she worked for a couple days cause she was on a tv show and all motivated but I guarantee not long after when the reality kicked in that she had to get up early and go to work when she didn't feel like it, she either started staying home, or being miserable at work and making sure everyone else knew it.
@@carolehankinson4969 I heard that they are divorced now and he married one of the servers and works in a different restaurant. Man ended up leaving her, getting a younger wife, and then being successful somewhere else 😂
I'm sure she saw how much of an absolute gigachad Greg was. That man literally got 4-5 hours of sleep every single night while working 18-20 hour days NON STOP for YEARS without showing significant signs of cognitive or emotional collapse. Yes he definitely suffered but not to the degree that almost every other human would under those conditions. There is almost no one on this earth who can actually handle that intense schedule and pressure without just being destroyed. Man is a total G for that, and I'm glad he's successful outside of there.
@@HelloThere..... Thank you, that's really kind of you to reply. It really bothered me as we women know what a good man is, or should I say most of us. So happy he got away from her as he tirelessly worked his butt off and she did nothing but be groomed when money was obviously tight and walk around bitching & squawking at him, I mean how much more could he do, ungrateful wench.
When Gordon asked her if she still loved him her answer took too long, you don't need to think too long about that and I thought it was for the cameras. I wish him every happiness. Thank you again, I really appreciate your replying to me. Kind Regards from the UK. ♥️ 🇬🇧 ♥️
Did Gordon have her eat out of his fork. This knucklehead not hear of covid
say what you want about gordon.. the theatrics.. the swearing. the dude has passion and a heart of gold.. love that guy
*Say what you want about Gordon; the theatrics, the swearing etc. The guy has passion and a heart of gold. I love that guy.
@@solongsuicide9 Wow, you're so smart Josh, will you please do me the honour of marrying my daughter? She's been looking for someone smart enough to correct someone's grammar in a comment section.
Watch the uk version, much less swearing and drama. 👍
Most importantly Gordon has a sense of justice when it comes to serving food 🥘. If only every chef in the world was like Gordon we wouldn’t suffer food poisoning and die with bacteria and viruses in our guts.
@@ahmedmohammad6099 ok Mohammad.. wtf xD
Fun Fact: After Zocalo closed in 2013, Greg and Mary divorced and he married Maria, a waitress featured in the episode.
source?
Big respect for Greg ..by his own admission he’s not a professionally trained chef ..but he’s tried his best,worked long hours and kept a clean kitchen ..despite that drag anchor of a wife who seemed to bring virtually nothing to the business.
You can really tell just how much Gordon didn't like Mary. He hardly ever spoke to her except to tell her to be nicer to Greg. Unbelievable the way this man was treated.
"I don't like working."
THEN GET THE F*CK OUT OFF THE RESTAURANT!
True, she's doing like nothing All day and All Week, and her husband working his a$$ of to keep his Restaurant alive and his Family happy. I felt so sorry for guy, must have been extremely tough
Even their daughters don't believe that she can control the restaurant in one day and they are also a hardworking like him as you can see one is a server and one is a bartender. I noticed they have a son as well near the last few minutes but I guess he's too shy to be in the camera and doesn't wanna talk.
I imagine she spends in her free days by sleeping, watching Telenovela all day, going to the mall or saloon or even worse, having an affair with another man!
*OF
Off is the opposite to on.
*all
*week
*restaurant
*family
What's with the random capital letters? 🤔
*tough.
End of sentence = full stop.
@@solongsuicide9 Do you really have nothing better to do with your time than correct every grammatical mistake on a Kitchen Nightmares episode? If you can understand the meaning of a comment regardless of grammar or spelling any mistakes are largely irrelevant.
I think one of the most underrated moments in KN is when Gordon shows off the new POS or other technological improvements and seeing it close in on 20 years old and see what has become the norm
Gordon has brought a family and a business together through love and support. Nice Job Gordon.
Genuinley felt bad for Greg you could tell he wanted to do good and Mary was just awful to him
I wouldn't worry, he got away from that and married Marla the pretty waitress!
@@joefish41 hallelujah! Jeez that shrew Greg was married to just tore him to pieces. Maria's genuinely kind & pretty whereas Mary's just a miserable witch who looks like a ventriloquists dummy
@@joefish41 no way
@@rammycanales3784 Yes way.
The sad thing is that the moral support could have come through a way that helped the business, Mary spending time with him showing how to make the food she so often criticises for example. He must only use the home that’s on the line for sleeping, he’s already lost it in an emotional sense. Mary or one of the daughters could get the food in for the restaurant, pick up the cleaning chores he always does.
Greg is a hardworking guy and is trying within all his strength to save his business and family. But his wife here was a total witch. I'm glad they divorced. He deserves better.
They divorced? Ah what a result for greg!
It felt like Gordon was waiting for her to say she doesnt love him anymore and was disappointed when she said she loved him
@@harleywoods9619 yeah, I think it was pretty weird, how long she took for that "I Love him" answer
And later, Greg is married Maria, the waitress who served Gordon which she looks like she's in the same age as his daughters
@@margarethmichelina5146 is that true if yes Great for him he's wife is nuts
Every single time I watch this episode, my heart breaks for Greg. You're an absolute soldier my man 💪
The scene where the wife is trying to tell Gordon the cheese and his utter confusion is one of the best parts
It was hilarious 😂😂😂
Totally
Totally the wrong cheese for rellenos, too. Queso de freír is literally cheese for frying. 🫣 Perhaps if wifey offered to do the shopping for their authentic Mexican restaurant, things like this wouldn't happen!
Right!❤@@jenn_x.
"Chef Ramsay no feel happy" is the perfect description of every single time Gordon tastes any food in the beginning of the episodes 😂
Gordon: “guys can you give me 2 minutes”
Also Gordon: *puts the private convo on tv*
It is cute in the way he pronounces 'molcajete' and 'cochinita'
Greg is a really respectable guy. I feel sorry for that stress he had put on him.
Only makes you stronger no hard feelings
@@daviddavies8706 BS, vreaks your soul when treated like that
So...Gordon is a therapist, a chef, a business manager, a psychologist, i dunno anymore but he's like everything 😂
Like the dog whisperer is predominantly about training the owners, this series is predominantly about training the owners (and staff)
I'm just amazed at how great a mediator he is, as well as a debater that chooses his battles wisely!
He's also a wrestler and football (soccer) player if I'm not mistaken
All in one 😂
@@Kat-mu8wq And a black belt!
He is a good person
respect to greg
And they wonder where all the nice guys are...
Gordon: Hello my darling
Mary: LET ME FINISH!!?!?
😂😂😂👍
She's finished alright...
That woman is so unpleasant. I hope he left her. He's a calm, hardworking man. He derserves a good woman!
They got divorced and he got with the waitress Maria
@@ivahxx8248 good! Where did you find the info?
That woman looked like she was 60 years old and poor Greg looked like he was 30 years old. How the heck they got married?
@@ahmedmohammad6099 Why are you even concerned Mohammad xD?
@@ahmedmohammad6099 how are yuo concern about that instead of him being happy if they love each other they can do whatever they want like … she’s not a minor
When Gordon said "it's like caca" i laughed so hard my jaw , cheeks, and ribs started to hurt from laughing 😂🤣 caca is slang for shit 😅
this was just a miscommunication problem, not a maintenance. they’re very clean so props to them!
She isn't in love with him, she is in love with what he can give her. She pretends to not speak good English to shield herself from criticism. She works 3 days a week despite the restaurant failing, she doesn't want to work or even help out in the kitchen, threatens the dad to take his kids to Mexico if he can't give her an easy life, and jacks up the prices and then lies about it. It is no shock they divorced. I wonder if she lived up to her promise of stealing his kids?
thissssssssss
They later get divorced tho and Greg marry the server who served Gordon. Also, their kids are already grown adults, they can make the decisions by themselves. Probably she's going back to Mexico and live the rest of her live at there.
