Last restaurant standing is consistently getting better each
episode and this one did not disappoint.
Last nights theme was selling your product. Different from marketing outside the restaurant
like 2 weeks ago, this is marketing inside.
Raymond has a secret ingredient he sends all the restaurants that the
need to up sell over the weekend.
The ingredient turns out to be eel and some of the couples
are pretty annoyed. We first check in
with the disaster known as Martin and Emma.
Martin pretty much says no thanks and decides not to use them. He doesn't want to kill a living
creature. Emma is fake gagging all
around the kitchen. They are saved when the
sous chef refuses to let the beautiful eel go to waste and makes a classic Spanish
dish out of them. Unfortunately, Emma's
sales pitch to the customers goes something like "yea, they were alive earlier,
it was disgusting, live eels squirmin all about the restaurant *GAG* *COUGH* I
mean you can try em if ya like but I wouldn't."
Good job Emma, seriously, just as the name of your restaurant says,
bravo, bravo. Later at judging Raymond
lays into Martin for saying he does not want to kill a live creature. "But you are a chef, no? Why don't you then cook vegetarian meals?" He also mentions how 90% of chickens are
inhumanely treated and killed yet Martin still cooks with them. He made Martin look pathetic and he then had
nothing to say. Welcome to the
challenge.
Ed and mike, the brothers who run "trickle well" have a
horrid week. Not many people show up,
people don't get their food, it tastes awful, tables are comped etc. etc. they
also lie and tell different stories to the judge when she shows up. They are in the challenge.
Lloyd and Adwoa have the same trouble they often have, great
food with a poor front of house. They are
doing well with their eel dish labeling it as "Ghana on a plate" but that doesn't help
the staff. One waitress is bad but Lloyd
won't fire her even after Adwoa asks. She
finally comes out of the back and fires the girl herself. Lloyd then un-fires her and puts her back to
work. This of course is an issue to Raymond
because even though people like the food, the front and back of the house need
to work together. This combined with
their negative figures sends them to the challenge.
Laura and Grant were nonexistent this episode. They did mediocre making the eel into a
traditional Scottish stew. They are safe
from the challenge.
Jeremy and Jane were also skeptical about the eels. Because of this, Jeremy only prepped about 15
of them because he didn't expect them to sell.
This caused him to run around later when they were actually selling
pretty well. When the judge came, we
find out that he never even tasted the eel he was putting out. This angered Raymond and he yelled at Jeremy a
bit saying tasting the dish is something even the lowliest cook would do and he
can't work with someone who sends something out untasted. They are safe because of the fact that they
made more money then any other couple.
The twins did great this week at "brown and green" they
decided to give a prize to the waitress who sold the most eel. They looked like they were having a lot of
fun this week and celebrating every eel dish sold. Raymond congratulated them for treating the
staff like a team rather then subordinates, and for that reason, they were the
winners of best restaurant of the week.
Next week the challenge is coming and I really can't wait to
get rid of some of these people. Martin
and Emma are so ridiculously awful I still can't believe they are around. Also the brothers are annoying and have no
idea what they are doing. Either way
though, I am happy about this show and excited to see what happens. I was worried for a few weeks that I would
lose interest but it just keeps getting better.
