Gordon: How do you rate your food, and what do you give your food out of ten?
Rishi: I give our food a ten.
Gordon: A ten?
Rishi: Yeah, I think it's amazing. I love everything on the menu—
Gordon: Okay great, nice meeting you.
Rishi: Nice to meet you too Chef Ramsay, thanks for coming. And enjoy your lunch today, okay?
Gordon: Thank you.
[Rishi goes back to the kitchen]
[Gordon talks to the camera]: What a bizarre dress sense from the owner. I mean, she looks like she's in a fancy dress Britney Spears concert party.
[Rishi sets a table as Candace, the waitress, enters the scene at Gordon's table]
Gordon: Hello.
Candace: [speaks cheerfully] Hello, I am Candace. How are you?
Gordon: [unintelligible]
Candace: Very nice to meet you.
Gordon: It's good to see you too.
Candace: So, did Rishi get a chance to go over the menu with you?
Gordon: Um, she did briefly. Let's order, shall we?
Candace: Okay.
Gordon: What's the soup of the day?
Candace: The soup of the day is jalapeño corn chowder.
Gordon: What was it yesterday?
Candace: Jalapeño corn chowder.
Gordon: Oh, so soup of two days.
Candace: And last week.
[Dramatic music plays and Gordon looks disappointed]
Gordon: Ah, so soup of the week.
Candace: It's soup of the week! [Candace jokes]
Gordon: Soup of the week. [he jokes]
Candace: Yes. [she laughs]
[They both stop chatting and Gordon begins to order]
Gordon: Um, let's go with the filet.
Candace: How would you like that prepared?
Gordon: Um, medium rare please.
Candace: Medium rare... [Candace writes it down]
Gordon: Let's go for the collared greens as well... The sides? The balsamic brown sugar glazed salmon and do you know what? Throw me in a portion of the pan fried oysters.
Candace: Okay, we'll get that started for you. [Candace smiled]
Gordon: Thanks.
Candace: Thank you.
[Candace takes Gordon's menu]
Gordon: Thank you.
[Candace goes back to the kitchen to give the order to the cook]
Candace: Oookay sooo, here's my list. So we're gonna do the oysters, so why don't I start with a cup of soup.
Cook: [speaks with little excitement in his voice] Okay dokie.
Candace: Yeah? Kay.
[Rishi returns to Gordon's table while his food is being prepared]
Rishi: I was just seeing what you ordered, I thought those were really great choices—
Gordon: I—
Rishi: Our oysters are wonderful here and my chef always makes the best soups.
Gordon: Can I just let you in to a little secret?
Rishi: Sure!
Gordon: Not in front of your customers. Can I whisper?
Rishi: Sure. [Rishi leans closer to Gordon]
Gordon: [Gordon whispers] Soup of the day is not soup of the day. It's the same soup that was on two weeks ago.
Rishi: [looks confused] What's that mean?
Gordon: Soup of the day—means a daily change in soup.
Rishi: [looks surprised and a little sad] oh... [pause] I didn't even know what...soup of the day meant.
[Gordon is shocked]
Rishi: I thought that just meant what soup we were serving that day.
Gordon: Wow...
Rishi: Yeah, that was lame.
[Gordon is still shocked]
Rishi: Soup...of the...day. A new soup every day. Okay, I'm going to talk to 'em about that.
[Rishi walks away and Gordon talks to the camera]
Gordon: Wow. [he laughs and puts his hands on his face]
[Rishi talks to an employee in the back of the restaurant]
Rishi: I didn't realize that soup of the day meant a fresh soup every day.
Employee: Yeah.
Rishi: I thought soup of the day meant what is our soup for the day.
[Employee laughs]
Rishi: I'm not that stupid it's just...that's what I understood that meant. [Rishi takes a sip of bottled water]
[The show cuts to cooks cooking in the kitchen]
Cook: [calls out] Candace please?
[Candace arrives and takes the plate of food to Gordon]
Candace: Chef Ramsay, here is our soup.
Gordon: Thank you.
[Candace sets his soup down on the table]
Gordon: Thank you my darling.
Candace: Okay. [she leaves the table]
Gordon: [talks to the camera] Wow, soup of the week.
[Gordon tries the soup]
Gordon: [speaks in a disgusted tone] Mm, that's just slop. Horrible, nasty gloop with some sort of— [he blows on the plate] dusting around the outside of the plate.
[Rishi returns to Gordon]
Rishi: Did you have a chance to taste the soup?
Gordon: Yeah, I had a chance, yes.
Rishi: Okay, and?
Gordon: Uh, yeah, just er—not nice. Gnarly.
Rishi: Should I just get that outta here?
Gordon: Uh, yes please.
Rishi: Kay.
Gordon: Thanks, when was the last time you tasted it?
Rishi: Umm, I haven't tasted it.
Gordon: You didn't have the soup?
Rishi: I haven't had the soup. [Rishi shakes her head]
Gordon: Wow.
[Rishi takes Gordon's plate and leaves]
