Can we appreciate the kids for having more maturity and passion than their own parents and for acting like better owners than the owners themselves
That's sadly more and more common, nowadays.
@@user-bv7ys1st8d How so? Seems like you just said some vague shit for internet points lol
@@heavenlywithhishands That's sadly more and more common, nowadays
@@heavenlywithhishands Personal experience: My father uses bi-polar as an excuse not to find work, and my mother refuses to take responsibility for her bad choices and is still living in the past.
So no, I didn't 'say some vague shit for internet points.' A lot of kids are getting more mature than their parents faster nowadays as a consequence of being raised by *adult children,* and eventually, they realize it.
@@user-bv7ys1st8d This person speaking facts. My dad gambles and my mom complains about every single fucking thing under the sun. Boomers had it easy and then when the going gets tough they crumple under the pressure.
The way Gordon and Van pretended that they didn't know each other. 🤣
Ikr HAHAHAHAH
I wonder if the mom and stepdad divorced?
Yes they did divorce.
@@AHGV19987 That's some very good news👍
me too 💕💕💕💕💕💕
"Your son not mine"?
What an absolute dog thing to say.
That’s one pig of a step”father”. Right after he threatened to elbow him, too, and threw his dirty ass towel at him. He’s lucky his step”son” was more patient than the average person when it came to that type of shit, you simply don’t do that to other people especially family.
Havin had a stepdad, I wouldve 100% snapped at that. Respect to the kid for being mature and having self control
And then they’re shocked behind their mind when their kid wants nothing to do with them… and they’re put into a nursing home. Respect is not given, but earned.
I have a stepson. I'm so proud of him. He's at college going onto university soon
and shame on that mother for letting that slide...
With how immature the parents are, I don't know how they managed to raise such mature and honest people. Their son should've been running the restaurant this whole time.
the parents lost their way
kids with immature parents have to grow up quickly. :(
@@beancelineyeah
I think with how mature the son is the restaurant wouldn't be in the shape it is
they were raised by there mom duhhhhh fuk
Keith is abusive and lazy, Lisa is an enabler and lazy. Both are liars. Hopefully they’ve made changes in their lives. Van deserved better “parents.” I hope Van is doing well!!
You are right….Anyone ever did that to my son would not only be told to not let the door hit him in the a** but I would make sure the imprint of his a** would be part of the door 😡🫨 I felt so bad for the son Van 😢 I hope he’s doing great thing now 😊
From what I could find Van's happily married and working at a car dealership these days.
@@thegingineer0 if true that’s great to hear 😊 ty for posting it!!
@@CrystleShadowsreality tv rescues does updates on kitchen nightmares and hotel hell with news on the staff. Really good channel to watch
What year was this show aired?
What a thing to say "your son not mine". Unbelievable.👎
Time stamp?
@@Doubleyoked13:00
Them's divorce words!
It’s true but still possibly hurtful
If I was the son Keith wouldn't be standing long.
For those wondering, Tavolini unfortunately closed just six months after the episode aired. Additionally, the owners Keith and Lisa Restivo separated, further complicating the situation. Tavolini ultimately shut down in December 2011. The location is now occupied by a new restaurant called Bryac Restaurant and Raw Bar, which focuses on seafood and has received positive reviews.
Did they go back to their old ways?
I love how like In every episode Gordon has to save the restaurant but he also is a therapist/ family counselor. . 😅
I find that an awesome plus.
@@VigilantKnight005 it is for sure but I don't even think he's really qualified to but he does such a good job at it. He's just truly amazing
@@blakeclem1217Gordon becomes someone's new dad by the end of every episode
Because he is a chef, he is also a family man, a husband, and a father.
And people may also remember that Gordon had an abusive father, so the fact he has a family but also knowing his background he for sure knows how important family is.
Those parents are trash. I feel so bad for the son and daughter
They got shut down because they were selling gift card💀
I hope Van still had a some good opportunities after the restaurant closed. He’s a damn good kid! ☺️
Apparently van is now a general manager for a dealership here in CT 😁
I can't imagine how Gordon felt when he heard the man screaming at his wife in the back, must have brought back bad memories.
wait what j don’t understand did gordon’s parents do that??
@@laylaadel3955 yeah, he had an abusive father
Dang when you say it like that…
And apologized to him instead of his wife.
@@LocalGuardianInkSo heartbreaking to watch videos of him and his mum now. She’s way too kind to ever go through something like that :(
"Don't apologize to me. That's your lady." So much respect for Gordon.
I feel like Van can run the place better than his parents.
And Joli.
Give the business to the children. You'd see a full 360. The parents need to go home and work on themselves, and give Van the keys.
@@rachaelwhelchel8176
I think you might mean 180, 360 is a circle
Hes the mvp of the whole restaurant
@@itsrainingcantaloupeswas about to say that
I feel sorry for Van and his non-parent family members. You can tell he truly wanted to see the business succeed, that he wanted to fix things.
No "I hate my job and all my coworkers" people would take the risk and actions he did, as in, being up-front and honest about the serious issues he's observed/been subject to.
He tried, but ultimately, his parents let him down. That can be a hard pill to swallow for a son/daughter, and I hate that they had to take it.
One can only hope someone saw Van's talent and tried to help him out and/or give the guy a job at the time. From what we saw that episode... he's cut out for a managerial position of sorts at the very least.
@@MLPIceberg I agree with ya about that one how important someone is better leading busniess than low life parent make them look like better owner but reality tells otherwise.
"You think its a fucking ol western movie. The fuckin things are whirling by"
Haha, the tumbleweeds!
"Cafe Tavolini closed in December 2010, just after Christmas. The restaurant was investigated by the Attorney General for selling gift cards right before closing. The owners said they closed due to medical reasons. The owners stated on their now defunct Facebook page the restaurant was closed in December 2011 due to Keith's "medical reasons". In 2018, it was revealed the restaurant actually closed because of their inability to pay vendors, rent and a mountain of debt."
Thank you, was looking for this. Not surprised they went out of business for debt, because unless they start making an insane profit that debt just mounts
So this was prerecorded?
@@Gmail_Mahmoodthis show is about 17 years old this was recorded and aired on TV in like 2007-9
Thanks for sharing the update i hope the son and mother is doing ok the same for the dad i hate to wish bad on others
Thanks for the info
Keith is abusing his wife and it’s destroying both her and the business. That loser doesn’t deserve a thing.
Van and his sister are honestly the best
Michael was good, too.
most stereotypical evil step dad
Don’t make him elbow you
Cinderella's step-dad if she had one
@10:43 the fact she had to tell her husband not to blame her for the food quality says a LOT about her husband...
I don't understand buying a whole business on a whim. The privilege of having the kind of money to buy something you don't need and don't have any experience in is mind boggling.
So true. And the fact that they let it go to hell because they can't be bothered to put in the minimum amount of effort really pisses me off.
Cause morons find ways to waste their money
You can call it their karma I suppose.
Them telling the kid “where’s my fork?” While sitting in the car doing nothing pissed me off
Gordon holding the chicken through the hole & says “I wouldn’t even hang that on a Christmas tree” 🤦♀️I freaking lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is why I love ❤ him!!!
😂😅 😃 ❤lmfao
that was a fun festive themed line
@@acey457 yes very 🎄festive lol
@@acey457 🎄for sure lol🍗
Van is definitely more mature than both his parents combined
You know there's going to be trouble when you hear the phrases "Bought it on a whim" and "never been in the business before"
I’ll never understand becoming good at something and making your way in it, only to totally shift into something completely different with 0 experience. Seems to be a common experience among entrepreneurs. If you were making good money in liquor sales, why the HELL did you jump into restaurants??
7:04 "Talk about throwing me under the bus." Well maybe you shouldn't lie to gordons face.
12:49 honestly give the son the restaurant cause hes the only one with integrity.
I would be proud to have a son like that, he just wants whats best for the family, honesty, integrity, no fake bs. Good on ya mate.
They cry about losing their business and their house but yet they sit in the car and do nothing on a busy night they actually deserve to lose everything
Keith and Lisa did not deserve any help to be honest
no. their staff did
We all get lost sometimes I hope they all do well in the future . God bless
Some owners don’t
Wild that this place closed down before the show even aired in 2011/12 for undisclosed reasons, right after the holiday gift card rush.
It is now a place called Bryac Black Rock and seems amazing!!
Hope the son and daughter are well, at least
Sad for the kids esp the son.
@@katywild4777at least they don't have to deal with their parents BS
Me: Mmh those meatballs look tasty
Gordon: they’re an insult, a gross mess
Me: worst meatballs I’ve ever seen in my life
😂 this comment cracked me up. It's so true 😂😂😂😂😂
4:44 we all know its bad when Gordon doesnt get out of the car and all the tea is being spilled. YES
Glad they separated. He was clearly abusive
the kid have more balls than every one in that restaurant
I hope the son doesn't lose his passion for the food industry
Those two owners didn’t give a shit about that restaurant . One good thing about it it closed.
Kinda wish it last longer enough for Van and his sister to take over because I think they could done well.
@@anandirose8367 Astonished that mother had the audacity to order her meal and eat it in the car during a disastrous dinner rush. I actually cried - it was a disgrace!!! Felt humiliated for her children.
@@chariklotarot9211 Why did you cry lol
@@amateurtries7542 Never had abusive parents?
@@badumba5511 Yes, but relatively, this feels too mild to cry about.
Anyway, to each their own I guess
"I'm going to go get the liquor."
30 minutes later
"I didn't get the liquor. Why would I?"
"You don't know what I do around here!"
😂😂
Oh u guys ordered and ur gonna eat in the car?
Closed door and doesn’t give fork.
🙌 😂
I raised 3 boys 2 3 5. NEVER once called them Step Sons....They were my Sons😊😊
Me too, I just think of them as children born before I met them or children by marriage. 🙂
Was not surprised to hear they divorced. You can't just turn a personality around in one evening.
Man, I feel bad for these chefs who wanna cook but can't, and the kids who have to just sit there and watch when they can do better
9:07 they seriously added a sipping sound effect 😂😂
LOL that made me laugh too
I do believe Ramsey made a friend with that son
This is the first time I've seen Mr Gordon act nice 😭😭😭 and I love the boy, he even smiled when he realized gordan found out the food was microwaved. He's sweet
Van is a good looking young boy. He seems to be more switched on more than his mum and step dad
Woah
nahh what???💀
Ok pedo
@@pettyaf960 there are a few people in the comments that need to be put on a list for sure 💀
He looks like an edgar
Whoeever does the narration on this show really let his contempt show in this episode damn 💀
That young man should be running the effing place
Fuc.... 😂
I love the uncensored versions 😩
Smart young man. I would have met with Chef Ramsay and give him the information on the issues up front as well.
Good Job! 👍
11:26 idk why the rice hitting the table was so funny to me, like imagine gordon says try this, and you accidentally drop it on him
That poor woman is diluted. That business is not affecting her marriage adversely. Her marriage is affecting the business adversely. She has a problematic husband, not a problematic business. That business would be fine if you got him out of the picture. He is an obvious liar. If someone will lie about stuff like that to a total stranger, they will lie about a whole lot more to the people they love. I speak from experience being on the receiving end of such malarkey. She needs to rid herself of that zero and start concentrating on her children and her business.
Gordan 'whats the matter' after ripping her to shreds and causing a near physical fight between the stepdad and son... i love him so much
"Your son, not mine". That alone would have been grounds for divorce were it me. He acts like an emotionally immature, insensitive, abusive, inhumane, irresponsible, lazy, controlling bastard. Not a business owner, husband, step parent, boss, or partner. Neither one of them are taking any responsibility for the situation they are in or the state of the restaurant. It blows my mind when Owners/ bosses micro manage theirs staff when they refuse to get stuck in themselves. Even with their attitudes and behavior her children and their staff truly look like they are busting their buts. They wonder why the kids and staff don't respect them. 🤔 Perhaps it's because you have to treat others with respect and empathy if you'd like it yourself. I seriously can't believe the ordered meals, then his in their car, made staff deliver it, have zero issue abandoning their staff while they b*tch, moan, and whine eating in the SUV. Pulling staff away to expedite your food order distracting them from preparing paying customers meals and affecting customer service in order to service their demands is nuts. Did she seriously holler at her son out of the car window to "bring me a fork!". The fact that they did this during a packed dinner service( as word got out Gordon was there), basically spitting in Gordon's face as he traveled there to assist them like they requested is crazy! The kitchen and wait staff are slammed, Gordon is doing a dinner service observation to help figure out what procedures, quality, hygiene, food safety, service, and consistency problems need to be corrected. And those two lazy, dramatic, Bozos can't even be bothered to stay in the restaurant and pretend they are working. I'd have been livid, told them to figure it out themselves, and left. What a waste. Pathetic!
VAN and his sister act like the owners the actual owners act like children and hence why the restaurants closed
van and his sister were on the verge of leaving and never coming back 😭😭😭
There's no way I would put effort into making over a dining room when the owners can't even be bothered to work in it. Decor doesn't matter when the management is crap.
Gordon is literally the coolest person I've ever met
cap
@@sararistova5619Problem? 🤡
thats cap
Cap
As well as being a fantastic cook, husband, dad, friend, mentor, and restauranteur
Haha, the owners sat in their car havin' dinner and wishing they could call Doordash or Grubhub😅for a real meal,,,save them, Gordon, from this kitchen nightmare.
Yep I’ve watched this one a lot and that was so weird to me on a lot of levels.
It’s high on my top five ‘call my own parents and thank them’ episodes.
That kid is awesome. Hope he’s doing well.
In a weird way, watching this makes me miss the early 2000s. Things were way better back then.
They were a bit awful in a sense too. We were a bit more ignorant in the early 2000’s on some important things regarding basic humanity.
I do miss technology being much more minimal than we have now! No algorithms, no tiktok stars, no deep fakes and you were able to watch the presidential debates with more options on both ends that didn’t make your stomach queasy.
@basicallyno1722 let me guess those "awful" things were transphobia and homophobia?
So far, 2000-2005 was the best time of my life. I watch these when I'm feeling nostalgic.
@@triplecrosscounter i just want u to remember no one mentioned this at all but you did really had to stick your head in the mud purposely there
@@neiltheprobo7146 I think most of us were thinking what he stated among other bullshittery. I think he hit the nail on the head, the other person just didn't want to admit that. I think those things he mentioned are correct so I'll put my head into the mud alongside him then.
Van & Jolie are waaay more mature than their lazy ass parents!! I just know that Van & Jolie made something of themselves!!
they should be the owners
@@callumfreebairn8082 I am agree with this
I don't understand how you can't properly cook a piece of salmon and you work in a kitchen
True that! Seafood is one of the easiest foods to cook and also one of the easiest to screw up if you don't know what you are doing.
Some blatantly lazy and irresponsible owners
Props to Van on this episode. Giving Gordon the real story on what's going on with the restaurant.
I bet every guest that comes to the restaurant because of Gordon hopes he/she will be asked by him about the bad food so they can trash it in front of camera 😂❤ I would like to do it for sure 😂❤❤❤
Commentator: "While Lisa's daughter Joli eloquently sums up a miserable evening."
Joli: "Customers aren't gonna care about your business if you don't give a f*ck about it."🤣
Honesty is so attractive.
gordan hitting his head out of context was peak comedy
Van has the best sense of most of the family, he knows what needs to be done.
Those kids are keepers
closed in 2010 even before this was aired...they sold gift cards during the Christmas season, took the money and closed.....
Is that larceny?
@@seanmcnally4818 from what i heard, it did cause an investigation, but i don't know what came of it
“I’ll take all your leftovers in the dumpster in exchange for eating any ticks & mosquitoes in your yard”
-my raccoon
Not even 5 mins in and Van is WILDIN!!!! 😂
Good job Gordon inspects his food before he eats it and is a good food critique.
I never seen a kitchen so small like a box closet for a production restaurant.
Glad Chef Ramsey can help..
12:46 when he threw the towel at his step son and the mother just let it happen that pissed me off!!!
I’m a Senior citizen a big fan of Gordon Ramsay.God Bless you always.
$21 freaking dollars for undercooked salmon and a plate mess of mush!
What a rob of customers who can cook a meal that's much more delicious and cheaper
I’m 4th generation Wyoming and “the Fking things are rolling by…” is the best description I’ve heard in a looong while. I love that kid, aw!!!!!!
Gordan thank you for defending food all over the world 😂❤
I wish they'd succeeded just long enough for the kids to take over if they wanted because they clearly had the ability if handed the ownership 😮💨
The fact that they closed down makes you wonder why Gordon wastes his time on people whom, so obviously, don't care about their restaurant.
well the profits he makes from the show are probably more than enough to compensate his time
@@Yuyukobeat Good point
@Yuyukobeat some restaurants do make it up until date....
@@Yuyukobeat I agree with your point how clear the Van's stepfather obviously abusive one.
Like a drug abuse counselor or a social worker, the one that gets saved outweighs the many that fail. Gordon is the GOAT!
“Did somebody call the police”? 🤣
Always makes me laugh when the restaurant is filled up the first night because people hear that Gordon is there…. I mean, the reason he’s there is never because the food is amazing, so they know in advance they’re gonna eat like shit, probably wait a while because service/kitchen is slow and/or sucks, etc.
Why in the fuck would people go there besides morbid curiosity and a chance to see Gordon lol
Oh people are perfectly willing to help criticize the food in the first night and they are also equally willing to praise it after Gordon's changes. If I had paid $21 for their lame dish in the past, I'd be willing to take part in the restoration process. Sometimes you just can't polish a turd and Gordon's efforts are lost on the owners. Sometimes? I stand corrected: MOST times. It's usually too little, too late.
They raised good kids but then they lost their way. Gordon saved more than their restaurant, as he did other times.
they still refused to commit to the restaurant
This woman's marriage has affected her relationship with her children and her business. He may be the problem but she's the cause of him.
Imagine being an owner of a restaurant and saying I’ve never served food before. They’re both spineless as well running away rather than facing their problems, I’m glad they failed.
Keith never tastes a knuckle sandwich, and he'll feel it when he ends up in retirement home and no one visit him
"I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't your meddling child" XD
It’s absolutely wild to own a failing restaurant and not know how to serve a table?! Like that is a basic thing you should at least understand.
Van can run easily like i run 60 stores around the country. We are smart and passionate, serving the best costumers.
It’s crazy how Lisa talks about her husband not being there for the restaurant but doing the exact same thing. Not only to the restaurant but to her children 💀
i haven't finished watching the video yet, but it seems like van and joli (van's sister) could run the resturant a whole lot better than the parents can.
They closed down right after doing this episode. State Attorney General's Office investigating Bridgeport's shuttered Cafe Tavolini case after people are unable to use gift certificates
Buys a restaurant with no experience in the business. Not surprising it failed.
21:08 10/10 true roast
I cannot stand fake criers
At this point gordan is practically a therapist
I do think he should let the son have a chance at running things ! Let him try to train and rehire
Another good kitchen nightmares
