Gordon Ramsay’s new kitchen staff might have a fishy problem on their hands!
In a new episode of Kitchen Nightmares, airing Tuesday, Feb. 11, the celebrity chef, 58, takes his expertise to help improve the working structure at Kings Blu Jam Café in Texas.
The eatery appears to have a food poisoning case after Ramsay — no stranger to restaurants in crisis — walks in on a customer vomiting outside.
In an exclusive clip from the episode, a producer says, “One of the customers is puking out back.”
“I don’t know what from,” he adds.
Ramsay replies, “Is she out there still?,” to which the producer says, “Yeah.”
Walking outside as other customers look with anticipation while sitting at their tables, the culinary icon finds the woman throwing up on the floor by the fence.
“Are you okay?” Ramsay asks. “Watch your feet, watch your feet. It’s everywhere,” he continues as the camera reveals the vomit.
The kitchen staff are also updated with the news as a staff member tells a coworker, “There’s some lady in the back projectile vomiting from, I think, something she ate here.”
“What happened?” Ramsay asks the customer.
She then replies, “I think the shrimp and grits.”
“Did you have the shrimp and grits as well?,” the kitchen boss says before saying a censored word.
The new season of Kitchen Nightmares, which shows Ramsay offering solutions to restaurants that are on the verge of closing, has seen the star chef come to blows with restaurant owners over practices such as sending out raw hamburgers.
Visiting Iberville Cuisine & Oyster Bar in an episode in January, Ramsay told a staff member: “This is f—ing embarrassing. She can’t even cook a f—ing burger. No more of this.”
He also said he didn’t want the restaurant offering dangerous food, adding that he wanted to be present for his son Jesse James’s first birthday.
“I mean, oysters are dangerous enough but honestly I just recently had my sixth kid, Jesse James. I’d love to be around to celebrate his 1st birthday so I’ll pass on that one.” he said at the time. “It’s got clay and s—.”
Ramsay also told the owner of Voleo’s Seafood Restaurant that things were “spiraling out of control” due to not being able to keep up with the very large-sized menu after moving to a smaller location.
Kitchen Nightmares airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox and the next day on Hulu.
