1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: This is jam Nation with Jones and.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Kitchen Nightmare is my favorite show and it's a reality

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: show where how a kitchen gets fixed up. It's great

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: in the paper today reality show made my cafe a

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: nightmare And I had a vested interest because I watched

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: this episode last week and it goes on to say

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: that the Chinese Australian owner was convinced to transfer her

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: restaurant into a Lebanese.

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Restaurant, convinced by the production.

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: By the production team, but my understanding of it, and

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: as I watched the show, the chef there, who was

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: of Turkish origin or Middle Eastern origin, was making a

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: Taian food, which he wasn't very good at to be honest.

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: They had too many items on the menu and he

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: couldn't even do a basic spaghetti or a like what's

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: that nice? You know that spaghetti they put the prawns

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: in and the chili and it's pretty basic. He couldn't

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 2: even do that. So Colin Fassenich has gone in there

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 2: and said, well, you know where are you from. I'm

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: from the Middle East. Well one had you do Middle

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: Eastern food And it was the problem I would see

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: is between the owner of the restaurant, the lady Virginia

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: and the chef, they're always fighting. What can you we

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: do do?

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I always argue when she doesn't agree with me, I

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: doesn't agree with her.

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: I'm here to give you my verdict. Right, pastor was

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 2: over cooked, no lemon juice. If you're charge in twenty

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: odd dollars for that, that's wrong.

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, yes, Tony. When we bring something back to

31
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: you and tell you that, you say nothing's wrong with it,

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: it's nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong with it.

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: But now he said it's something wrong.

34
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: I check it. It's all right, okay. So when nothing's

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: wrong with it, it's not great. So how are we

36
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: going to build a business if it's not great for

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: you're servants? It as well? Yeah, I know. I'll bring

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: stuff back and I chuck it. He gets the ships.

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: She gets me so angry. I just don't want to

40
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: grow up.

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: I put it on the organ. That's what gets me.

42
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Sort of illegal. But anyway, so there is obviously issues there.

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: But what she's saying in the paper today and I

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: didn't see the episode, is that she was convinced to

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: make the restaurant a Lebanese restaurant and call it cafe.

46
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: She was going, yeah, there's a good idea.

47
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Now, that's what you do, and the cameras are in

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: your face, and seems like a good idea at the time.

49
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: She is now saying that cafe to bully. The name

50
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: of that sort of mocks her Lebanese customers, that they

51
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: sort of feel that she's not taking it seriously and

52
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: they feel slightly mocked by the name. She said that

53
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: she was convinced to move the coffee machine from in

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: the front of the business to the back, and so

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: people are no longer ordering coffees, and when they order

56
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: a coffee, they'll also order a bacon, an egg roll

57
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: or a muffin. So she's feeling that the business is

58
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: going down the tube, and she's sort of upset that

59
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the restaurant has taken a Middle Eastern turn when it

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: didn't need to. That's what she's saying. I don't know

61
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: because I didn't see the episode, and also TV shows

62
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: one side, she has another story. Maybe the reality is

63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle.

64
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: That's what I like about this show. That there was

65
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 2: a guy down the South coast with his restaurant and

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: he was hoping to get a happy story about his restaurant,

67
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: but his restaurant was terrible. So Colin, this is what

68
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: I like about Colin fastinage and in our business, there's

69
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: an old saying radio consultants used to say to us,

70
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: if you care, they care. Colin Fastenich cares. He's run

71
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: many successful restaurants, and by his own amissions, he's had

72
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: failures as well. But the guy knows the business. And

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: when I watched the show, I'm right, I'm invested in

74
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: the show. My take on this particular restaurant is that

75
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: they've got no idea what they're doing. She's not even

76
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: really a proper restaurant owners help. He said.

77
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: She took it over when one of the cousin had

78
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: a heart attack, but she's.

79
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: She's not a chef for anything. And the guy that

80
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: was the head shift seemed to me to be on

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: the incompetent side. So as Channel seven have said, six

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: struggling business owners on the brink of collapse access to

83
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: industry expertise, advice and solutions to help them put them

84
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: back on there.

85
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you

86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: can't make it drink.

87
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: I'd love to talk to Colin about this. Can we

88
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: get Colin around. You got his number.

89
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: But this is often it's interesting we don't always see

90
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: the follow up to the story.

91
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: Well, in the follow up the end of this episode,

92
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: they had Everything's going peachy pie four months later.

93
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Well this is now months later, the chef has left

94
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: to do other things. Yes, well yeah, if we do

95
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: get Colin beaching to see them his take on his

96
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: take on it, Because this is this woman's take on it,

97
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: her perception of how it's gone for her, and reality

98
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: TV doesn't suit everybody, you might get hard answers.

99
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: Maybe we could go around the country just to radio

100
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: stations giving them ideas.

101
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: That's called program director and content director. Would you like

102
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: to do that?

103
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: No, because I've got a brain, I couldn't do that
