After visiting Joe Nagy's farm, Gordon Ramsay was eager to taste every dish that was brought to his table at Mill Street Bistro. However, after tasting the food, he found that the restaurant was not true to its promised “farm-to-table” concept, but instead “freezer-to-table”. The dinner service made the situation even worse, with Ramsay witnessing some of the restaurant's shortcomings, including the owner's arrogant attitude.
Part one of the series ends with things heating up between Nagy and Ramsay in the kitchen, with the famously angry TV chef threatening to leave, but by the start of part two, their altercation has died down and Nagy seeks help. The process involves a staff meeting full of complaints about Nagy (which Ramsay sneaks off in another room to let Nagy hear) and a revamp of the menu to better fit the restaurant's bistro concept. But when dinner service erupts in another argument while sampling some of the new main dishes, Ramsay realizes that his biggest problem is having Nagy in the kitchen.
The next night, Ramsay hired a new chef to run the backstage area while Nagy remained front and center, and the reopening was a success. Ramsay knew the only way it would be successful was if Nagy kept his promise to change his attitude and not come back into the kitchen after he left.
