Every episode

Hello Gordon, we're the petite bourgeois restaurant owners. We're deluded and running our company into the ground by our denial and constant alienation of our employees.

Hi Gordon, we're the employees. Here's an annotated list of all the things wrong with the restaurant and how to fix it.

Gordon: "Ok owners, get out of the way of your employees."

Owners: "No. You're stupid and we, the small business owner, are right."

Gordon implements fixes that the employees have been clamoring for.

The restaurant immediately succeeds.

Owners: "Well dang, I guess Gordon had a point. What employees?"

The restaurant then either succeeds or fails due to market conditions, or the owners immediately revert back to their old ways and the restaurant instantly nosedives again

Every episode is the same story. Gordon asks the employees what's wrong with the business and they always go "The owner is a fucking moron and is running it into the ground and getting in the way of everyone doing actual good work." and then Gordon forces through the changes that the employees say need doing.

Why do the employees, the larger class, not simply devour the business owners?

    I love how often the restaurant owners get so fucking defensive of their obviously shitty practices too and absolutely refuse to do anything that the professional, famous chef tells them what's wrong.

    Gordon: "This food tastes like shit"

    Owner: "No, the food is great. What does he know, anyway?"

    Cut to Owner making food by dumping shit straight from the can onto a plate

    Gordon: "Your 18 page menu is too big and is making it difficult to make food quickly"

    Owner: "No it isn't, fuck off"

    Adds 2 more pages of bullshit out of spite

      You forgot the bit where they imply that Gordon is secretly gay because he's from Britain and that's why he doesn't like the food

        There's an episode where they accuse him of finding a dead mouse and bringing it into the restaurant to stir up drama for the show and he hits them with the :cat-confused:
