I'm so happy to read in the comments that the place is still open and the food is good. I noticed the absence of Chef Ramsey trashing out the kitchen organisation, which means they were doing a fantastic job in the department. The real issue was the food. The family seem like such nice genuine people that were truly greatful. One of the best episodes.

I think the key to what has allowed Pantaleone to remain successful after this episode aired is that Pete WAS a great cook in his day, but his own confidence in his ability ironically blinded him from changing with the times. This was Gordon Ramsay's way of teaching an old dog new tricks. Really inspiring and encouraging that you can always return to greatness at any stage in your life.

“His heart was in the right place but his mind certainly was not” That’s something I think everyone goes through & struggles with. That hit home for me. Loved this episode, don’t watch this a bunch but my niece instantly knew what it was when she walked into the kitchen 😂

What an amazing episode honestly. Pete probably locked up and held on to his past success to avoid facing reality. But to see the man have an open mind made a huge difference. He actually listened to the opinion of locals, understand what a successful pizza place looks like and gave up his facade that he knows whats good or not is why they did well. Still open today because this man was more open minded than all of the other subborn owners unwilling to change. Arrogance really prevents growth and change, and this man showed other failing owners how they need to respond to Chef Ramsay.

Even Jamie Oliver was discovered when he was working in a restaurant and in a documentary about a restaurant he was working at he talked about things as part of the documentary.

@@cliffhulcoopofficial8075 -- Jamie Oliver was picked for his youth and his looks, not because he was a skilled cook who 'worked his way to the top'. His food has always been pretty fucking awful and he's never actually run a successful restaurant. He got investment funding to start a chain, but it was never profitable. Nigella was actually more famous because of her husband, John Diamond, than because of her dad. It was that documentary about her caring for him and his family while he was dying of cancer that really put her on the map. But Nigella's family used to own Lyons (big historical food business in the UK) so she does have a family tradition there. As with Jamie, her looks were the real selling point.

It is painfull to watch others in denial of the truth! The pain this pizza "chef" was covering up with his denial must be over whelming.

@boneshakerbaby - agree 100%. I like that at the end, it was all done with respect on both sides, as Gordon wasn't as brutal as he sometimes is. Just a proof, if you are honest with him, and want to improve - he will actually help you and give an advice. And he will appreciate the honesty (as most people should/would). If you bullshit him... yeah, this is not gonna fly at all :) But it is not this particular "kichen" fault as such. Basically the main guy doesn't have enough experience. He has a lot experience in his place, and he is confident that he is doing OK. But he has nothing to compare that too. Doing something for 37 years, and not adapting, not moving forward, not being flexible, being too confident - nah, this is not gonna fly. Also missing the experience with being a chef in several+ other restaurants, other places, or even ohter countries. Just a simple life experience of working in multiple places (regarding your profession). Even somebody like me, would know (not connected with food industry in anyway). But it I was a chef in such place, I would be curious. I would pick the top 20 places in Denver, with different food choices. And simply go there, even once every 2-3 years, as a chef, and just eat. Nothing more. Just taste the food, taste what other people are doing, compare that to food that I'm cooking, and be honest with myself. The lack of comparison to other "products"/restaurants on the market, and dated confidence was his main issue. Note: and his wife is also a proof of his mentality: "...I've been your partner, you haven't always been mine". Such a simple statement, but also powerfull.

Fun Fact: The Pantaleone's Restaurant is technically still open but it's take-out and delivery only. There's no dine-in service anymore.

I love how they always say "I know it's good, everybody loves it." while literally nobody is sitting at the tables.

This was one that I felt sorry for the chef, it's obvious he started spiraling when the restaurant stopped doing well, and now feels humiliated because his food WAS probably very good but now it had gone downhill and stopped taking criticism, but in the end he still cares a lot about being a good restaurant owner.

I also feel for Pete (chef). It's very existentially difficult to admit that he has been drifting to nothingness (performance-wise) because (perhaps) of his institutionalization within his business. When your passion becomes your job and money-making scheme, the best you can do is think about the process. The outcomes necessarily follow. Every dish is an opportunity to lift someone off his own hardships and that's something professionals seem to neglect over the years.

What I like about this episode is that you can tell that everyone in the family clearly loves each other. They're frustrated and they're upset with each other, but they care about one another and that love is in everything they say to each other.

the really cool part about this episode is that the chef wasn't in denial for too long and he didn't ignore gordon or get in his face because he was under pressure or had his ego shot down like most other chefs do on this show plus the fact that he was able to learn and with his family and they were able to keep the restaurant open even to this day is phenomenal

@seia2758

He was kinda like those people who won't stop ranting about how they were so popular back in highschool but now suddenly invincible. There's an understandable reason, though, his confidence was based on his work and the fact that back in the 80s, his pizzas were the best and even winning multiple awards. The problem is he got complacent. He thinks he already knows it all and that nothing is going to go wrong no matter what because, after all, he WAS the best right? And if customers can't appreciate his work, then it MUST be their fault right? Again, after all, he WAS the best? That's just ego talking. His ego was so big he didn't even thought about the fact that he's getting old, and a few more years, he will have to pass the title of ownership to his son because he definitely doesn't trust his own son to be able to carry the restaurant, so he does it all himself because he WAS The best right? No one can do better than him in his mind. In that age, he should already be teaching his son how to manage the restaurant by himself with him only acting as guidance. Because when you get lazy due to complacency, it WILL show in your work. Luckily, the restaurant is still thriving now and he learned his lesson. It took a hard-beating and reality-check, but it's what he needed.

Glad you clarified with "was". It's cool he turned out to be a good person at heart

I went from absolutely despising Pete to becoming totally enamored with him.. I can see how it would be a huge shock to learn after 30 years that while you have believed you were a master of your craft, you were actually putting out a sub-par product for a large percentage of the time. I think most people would initially be in utter denial, the sunk cost fallacy is a very real cognitive bias that we're all susceptible to in varying degrees. You would need to be extremely strong mentally to admit to yourself and your family that while you thought you were at the top of your game, you're actually nowhere close. Pete swallowed his pride and it was one of the most beautiful and rewarding episodes I've ever seen.

The thing with Ramsey that makes me appreciate him is how he treats the wait staff

"I've been doing this for 37 years, Chef Ramsay was a kid when I first started cooking. I should know a little bit more than he does." This. This right here is why so many young people have a hard time making it. Because old timers think that just because they have a bit more years in their books, that also means they're absolute gurus in their area. Never mind the younger person has more knowledge, practice, and know how on it, they're still wet behind their ears in comparison. Have someone like this in my family and let me tell you, when shit hits the fan, suddenly it's the youngest member who knows nothing that needs to fix everything.

In 2024, they're still thriving and maintaining their tradition of closing on Sundays. The owner's passion for football shines through, and as a fellow European, I completely understand and respect it. It's wonderful to witness their ongoing success. This episode remains one of my favorites.

Really enjoyed this episode, actually one of the few, where you can see how much the chef/owner is actually invested in his restaurant. Sure, it's hard for him to let go of the past glory and he's in complete denial at first, but hey, we see him actually COOK MEALS! Not just throw it in the microwave. He actually made fresh dough and baked fresh pizza and made fresh pasta. Like, you could see that he actually was experienced in restaurant work and he also was passionate about what he did. Yes, he was quite stubborn, but he did also want to save his restaurant that was so special to him and his family. He was actually much more likable than a lot of the owners on this show.

The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
