Kitchen Nightmares, Season 5

[Gordon goes to confront Jake about the kitchen’s constant microwaving of food]

Gordon:
Greek restaurant? More like a Greek tragedy.

Jake:
(interview) It pisses me off. What I think about my food is, it's healthy, it's fresh, it's—it's good. It's damn good.

Gordon:
Yeah, reheated microwave food.

Jake:
Listen, it's not microwave food. I mean, how else am I gonna reheat it? You're breaking my balls about getting—reheating it in a microwave.

Gordon:
[points to one of the chefs] He's been cooking 14 years. There's a whole stove there; it’s not even being used! And this guy (Chef Mike) is like this... [opens and closes microwave door three times] Come on, Jake! Fuck me.

Jake:
(interview) I don't use the word “microwave.” I'm not cooking it in the microwave. I'm reheating it in the microwave. Big difference. There's a big difference. (normal) I don't think it compromises the food, reheating it that way, but I mean—

Gordon:
Say that again? You don't think it compromises the food?

Jake:
I don't think so.

Gordon:
Oh, my God!

Athena:
Oh, they’re gonna have a big fight. Oh, my God. [begins praying] Please, God.

Gordon:
It doesn't compromise the standard of food?

Jake:
No.

Gordon:
Wow.

Jake:
Yeah, you fuck off. How's that? There we go. Go. Get out of my line.

Gordon:
Jake.

Jake:
Yeah.

Gordon:
Jake.

Jake:
I gotta—look, I'm trying to put out food...

Gordon:
Yeah, Jake. Let me tell you something.

Jake:
...I'm not here to talk about—

Gordon:
Take your head out of your arse and just start acting like a man and start taking responsibility for something, will you?

Jake:
I am taking responsibility for it.

Gordon:
You are? And you think it's smart, telling me to fuck off?

Jake:
I don’t want to fu—I don't want to fuck around.

Gordon:
So how about showing a little bit of respect for what you're doing?

Jake:
Go. Get off my line and let me do my job. Get out of here.

Gordon:
Jake... Jake, I'll go, with pleasure.
