In the season finale, Kitchen Nightmares Simmer Down episode creates some heated conversation amongst the cooks. In this exclusive clip, Gordon Ramsay asked a simple question about the secret seasoning. Unfortunately, it caused a ruckus that no one expected.
This season of Kitchen Nightmares has seen highs and lows. Starting with New Orleans based restaurants, the road to redemption was definitely not easy. Stubborn owners and ineffective management turned business potential into lost opportunities.
While each location started on the brink of failure, Gordon Ramsay and his team righted the wrongs. With adjustments, the owners, chefs, and restaurant staff found a way to succeed. Sometimes a firm hand is all that is needed.
In the Kitchen Nightmares Simmer Down episode, the season finale might be the most chaotic environment yet. The Simmer Down Café might sound like a place to unwind at the end of the day, the tension in the kitchen has hit a boiling point.
FOX graciously provided this exclusive clip from Kitchen Nightmares Simmer Down.
As seen in the clip, Gordon asks the chef’s brother to try the salmon. First, kudos to the brother for knowing that the salmon was overcooked. It shows that he actually knows how the food should served.
Second, a “special seasoning” needs to be a flavor. Although previous episodes saw chefs over season dishes, the lack of flavor is equally as disturbing. Trying to make a piece of over-priced fish seem “special” with a description is duping guests. That gimmick will make any person choose not to return to dine again.
Additionally, the loud bickering from kitchen staff is unacceptable. These restaurants might not be Michelin Star locales where everyone cooks in hushed tones. Still, a little decorum is expected. Hell’s Kitchen can have those feisty remarks fly, but those fiery moments are part of dinner and a show.
Can Simmer Down Café find a way to lessen boiling tensions, work together, and offer guests a flavorful meal at a reasonable price? Gordon Ramsay has a few ideas to make this restaurant right again.
Watch the season finale of Kitchen Nightmares on FOX, March 18 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes can be streamed the next day on Hulu.
