Chefzapoppin!

S06E07

During prep, the women are getting sick of Suzanne, and she's getting sick of them. Meanwhile, the men are trying to psyche each other up and using the word "team" a lot. And just as they're telling each other how much they don't miss Robert, guess who comes through the door. (The answer is "Robert". Robert comes through the door.)

So now the men are all complaining about Robert being back as he cheerfully tells them that apparently his heart is too small for his body. Robert gets his chef's clothes out and does not miss the fact that nobody's talking to him. Incidentally, Sous Chef Scott is showing everybody a dish with cheese on top of fish, and he tells them to be sure to "take all the plastic crap and everything off of it." Andy tells us that he does want Robert to be healthy, "but as a team member, he's gotta [bleep]ing pull his weight." You can make your own weight joke here if you want.

With the chefs lined up in the kitchen, Chef Ramsay checks in with everyone, particularly Robert (it wasn't a heart attack, which is good to hear since I was so mean about it last week) and drops the bomb that they'll be having "the most amazing" chef's tables in the kitchens tonight. Have you seen these? They're tables actually inside the kitchen, which is supposed to be particularly classy and upscale. But the people eating at them are some of Gordon's own executive chefs, so they're presumably used to the shouting and cursing. And if they don't get their food fast enough, I imagine they might just get up and cook it themselves.

The customers start coming in! JP schmoozes with the chefs, and Dave chats with them for a second. Chef Ramsay asks Dave what the chef's table's appetizer is, and Dave claims it's two risotto. The two customers (who are actually chefs, but I'm calling them customers in this context) didn't actually order risotto, and mildly wonder if they get a choice. It appears that they do not. Nice work, Dave! I mean that sincerely, because it appears that the wait-staff will not be coming into the kitchen to take orders, so the chef on the appetizer station is supposed to talk to the chef's table customers and get their orders. So while Dave committed a bit of a faux pas, at least he's making them some food. Unlike Red Appetizer Chef Ariel, who is ignoring them completely. Chef Ramsay finally clues her in to the fact that she's supposed to go chat with them, recommend something, you know the deal.
