Quinton x Josh pt.1

Kitchen Nightmares- edited 1/02/22

This is inspired by Kitchen Nightmares- where Gordon Ramsay (played by Josh) tries to fix disgusting failing restaurants with bad food and health code violations. The owner/chef (played by Tony) are insane and rude and don't like him but the servers are nice (played by Quinton). He gives them new menus and stuff but then the restaurant closes down 7/10 times later inevitably. (and pretend that Josh is 26, same with Tony)

(far warning this is 3k words, so it's a little long)

Josh walked into Bistro Med and was immediately confused and disgusted. The inside of the restaurant was confusing, the inside was giant, but it felt so cramped inside. The walls were cranberry but the booths were dark red green, the tablecloths were black and nothing matched at all. The bar was cheap looking, the countertops were brown quartz. The ceiling was popcorn and everything was hideous, and the paint is peeling.

Someone exited the kitchen, and they escorted Josh to a seat. "Hello Chef Richards" he says as he shakes Josh's hand "Hello and you are?" Josh prompts. "I'm Antonio, but people call me Tony. I'm the owner and the head chef". 

"Oh, the owner and the head chef. So what would you rate your food?" Josh asks him. "9 out of 10" Tony says confidently, "Oh that's great. I hope I really enjoy it" Josh responds. Tony walks out of the dining room and into the kitchen. Then there's shouting immediately once he's back in there, and Josh did not have a good feeling about how his experience at this restaurant was going to go.

Out comes a boy, scurrying quickly. "Hello Chef Richards, here is the lunch and dinner menu. The desert menu if you need it is sitting in the wooden table holders." the boy says as he places down two separate menus. "Thank you, and your name is?" Josh questions. "Quinton, my name's Quinton" the boy, now identified as Quinton, says. 

"Okay Quinton and what do you suggest I get from the menu?" Josh asks. He always asked his servers what they thought he should eat, if they gave him something and he thought it was disgusting then he knew what to expect for the rest of the meal. 

Quinton was taken off-guard, no one ever asked his opinion. He wasn't supposed to talk to the customers, but he couldn't not answer JOSH RICHARDS. The only issue is that he really didn't know how to answer. He never ate the food here, he wasn't allowed to have any.

"um...I don't really eat the food here but I would recommend the fish and chips" he says, as it's basically the only thing he'd ever eaten here. "Okay. Well I'll get the fish and chips and he steakhouse burger with onion rings" Josh orders. "Yes chef. Is that all?" Quinton asks as he writes down the order, "Yes Quinton that'll be all". "Yes chef" Quinton mumbles as he walks away with the menus. 

He trails into the kitchen, being met with a barrage of yelling once again. "Quinton! What did I tell you about talking to the customers!" Tony yells at him as he snatches the ticket from the servers hand. "Not to" he mumbles softly, "Okay so why were you talking to Chef Richards!" he yells back. "B-because he asked me questions" Quinton says softly. Tony rolls his eyes as he reads out the ticket, "I need one fish 'n' chips and one steakhouse burger" he calls out as his chefs run around.

Nick pulled out one of the frozen beef patties that they had pre-made.  He hated making frozen food but its what chef Tony wanted as the owner, and Nick wasn't gonna disagree. He needed his pay after all, and at the end of the day it didn't matter to him whether or not the place stayed open. The burger was cooked once and then frozen, and then microwaved to be heated back up. The bacon was store-bought microwave bacon, and the barbecue sauce was made by Tony. He thought the food was okay but it definitely wasn't spectacular, Tony thought too highly of it. The only real reason he was sticking around is because a. it's easy to cook frozen food b. he's getting paid c. Quinton needed him.
