"Are you closing it?" : Philippe Etchebest exasperated by Jeff in Cauchemar en cuisine

In the episode of Kitchen nightmare broadcast this Monday, January 2, 2023 on M6, Philippe Etchebest went to Plaintel to help a restaurant which did not need to be saved at first sight. But when he met Jeff, the chef understood the reasons for his coming.

A new rescue mission awaited Philippe Etchebest in the unpublished issue of Kitchen nightmare broadcast this Monday, January 2, 2023 on M6. This time, the chef went to Plaintel (Côtes-d’Armor) to visit Jean-François (who calls himself Jeff) and his partner Darling. The couple have been running a roadside restaurant for four years and seem to be at an impasse. However, this is not the observation made by the juror of Top chef by disembarking on site. Warm welcome, dozens of customers, perfectly correct cuisine, nothing a priori justified the presence of the show’s cameras in this establishment.

Kitchen nightmare: tensions in the Plaintel restaurant

Finally, Philippe Etchebest managed to put his finger on what was wrong. During the evening service, the chef understood that a lack of communication between the boss Jean-François and the cook Gwenaël was the source of the problems. At the end of the evening, the show’s host called the brigade together to put things straight. “It creates tension“, “it’s quite heavy“, testify the waitresses. “I was not aware that it could mark them or that they had noticed it“, replies Gwen, the chef of the restaurant.

Subsequently, Jean-François admits his faults. “I find it difficult to speak with Gwen, I admit it. We had trouble from the start several times here. We hung on. I told him, he always has the answer to everything. At some point, I don’t argue anymore, it doesn’t work anymore“, he unfolds, without giving the floor to Philippe Etchebest who ends up raising his voice. “I can speak ? That’s it, stop, it’s good“, replies the chef. Obviously, Jeff has not understood the lesson and is taking over.”Does Gwen want to hear or do you know everything by heart?“, he wonders before being interrupted by Philippe Etchebest. “Jeff, Jeff! I repeat: if it is to settle things now, you should not call me. That, we will see later. Are you closing it? Can you crash? Its good ? Because there, it annoys me, it’s starting to annoy me“, asserts the host. These are a few words that directly silenced the boss of the restaurant.
