1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: This is jam nation.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 2: We're so kitchen nightmares. In the paper today, reality show

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: made my cafe a nightmare And it goes on to

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: say that the Chinese Australian owner was convinced to transform

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: her restaurant into a Lebanese restaurant.

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she says that that hasn't worked for her

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 3: and her customers, who are of Middle Eastern origin are

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 3: sort of offended at the token way she's doing it.

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 2: I'm guessing in watching that story, I didn't see it

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: as that. I saw it as a chef that wasn't

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: very good at cooking Italian food that came from a

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: Middle Eastern background, and Colin Fasteninch said well, why don't

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: we just go and do Middle Eastern.

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 3: It seems there was also conflict between the chef and

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: the owner, and the chef has now left and now

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: here she is saying that, you know, she's sort of

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: blaming the show for her business downturn.

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: Well, let's get some Irish music on because we got

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: Colin Fastenage.

20
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: Come on, hi, Colin, how are you top with the

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: mortum top of the morning to you? I know the

22
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: big finale is tonight of the show. How do you

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: feel though when you a story like this in the paper.

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Look at it front page of the paper. Mate, there's

25
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: people's houses underwater as we speak. We've got bigger problems

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: in Australia. Then let let's call out the BS alarm.

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Here we went into this place. They were already she

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: hadn't been paid in four months. Her husband, Leva, who's

29
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: a beautiful man, was a toiler, was working all day

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: to pay the wages. Right, so this was already weeks

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: from going busts the food did I make that up?

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: The food was rotten, and it was and a lot

33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: of the people were of say older, there were older

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: people who are eating there, and you'll save it rotten food.

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: It was a matter of time when he killed someone.

36
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: And then she said, we changed it to Lebanese. She's Chinese,

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: and they were saving Italian so and very bad rotten Italian,

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: and they were about to go boast. So the whole

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern thing came about from Towny was from Iraq,

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: and Leva, her husband, was Middle Eastern, and who liked

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: making the actual Middle East from bread. So like all

42
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: the frozen rotten Italian's not working, Herbert would go a

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: different route and then she said she's losing four ground

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: a week from coffee. She was they weren't making fall

45
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: ground a week from coffee. And yes, we moved the

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: coffee machine from the front window to the back just

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: because it was in a whole dirty little hole that

48
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: we cleaned up. But you can move it back. The

49
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: whole thing is is you can lead the horse to water.

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: But and I will say she was exposed to over

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: nine nine nine hundred thousand people watch the show, so

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: that's nine hundred thousand customers. It's up to you to

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: win over. And we've also got our food tech team.

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Jilly Callaway goes back and revisits the restaurant and helped them.

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: So it's a bad situation, but like not everyone's going

56
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: to survive.

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. And in all of these shows, whether

58
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: you're doing a renovation with you making, helping someone lose white,

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: helping someone declutter, you can only do so much. You're

60
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 3: not responsible for the rest of their lives.

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: But it's just that's the state of the industry we're

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: in at the moment. She had a chef who couldn't cook,

63
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: she couldn't serve, and her husband was working two jobs

64
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: to pay it like and she was in tears every

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: day and she already knew it was gone both and

66
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: I really liked Virginia, but I really did. My heart

67
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: went out towards she. She got left that restaurant by

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: a relative who was six, so she didn't even pick

69
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: that career. So you know, I feel sorry it hasn't

70
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: worked out for her. But not like if you watched

71
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: the show tonight, which is the last one just plugging

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: a channel seven seven thirty seventh plus, Tonight's was a

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: very sad story. Tonight was the chef can cook as

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: good as me. His kitchen is probably cleaner than my kitchen.

75
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: But what happens to this story is very sad and

76
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: not everyone can get out of this. This is the

77
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: way the industry is at the minute. It's like in

78
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: a really bad place.

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: Well tell you facts. It's harder than it looks. If

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: you think you're starting up a restaurant. And I think

81
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people that get you on this show think, oh,

82
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: we're going to get some free publicity. This will be.

83
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 3: Great and magic Bang will all be different. But there's

84
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: there's other stuff at the end you have to do too.

85
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that we're like a life raft

86
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: of your drowning. We try that, we're still going to

87
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: learn how to swim, do you know what I mean? Exactly?

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: And Jones is quite he's quite good at commenting on

89
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: all my posts, so obviously he watches the show.

90
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: In a world of TV. At the moment, I think

91
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: it's honestly the best thing on TV. And I think

92
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: if you're a breakout star, man, I think you've done great.

93
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: You see how bad it was when we get in there,

94
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: like the chickens, will it sitting over the sauce that's

95
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: going to be saved for? And they went't that busy

96
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: sort of sauce is going to sit there for a month.

97
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: You've got a chefs edge and save and dodgy seafood.

98
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: The kitchen is not even clean, Like maybe it's good.

99
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: Some places do close down and make way for the

100
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: good places.

101
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: What has to happen, Maybe get that awful restaurant started

102
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: that you seem to love. That's my only criticized decision

103
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: is you and Maneuverdel.

104
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what it.

105
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: Is, obsessed within it.

106
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: You just keep eat all the in part you don't

107
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: have to. We're not in the depression anymore. You have

108
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: to eat that stuff.

109
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: No waste. Maybe we do a lot of work with

110
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: old harvest, we're not.

111
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: Waiting, but still yeah, when you grind it up, claim that.

112
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Guys, if you look at the Bull Hotel, the one

113
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,159

114

Speaker 1: Guru lives, fire and like a lot of good came

115
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: out of it, and not everyone's going to do well.
