Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares - Season 0 Episode 1 The Dovecote
7.50 44 minutes In the first hour of Ramsay's Great British Nightmare special Gordon visits The Dovecote where Mick is a former trucker and burger van operator who has opened a bistro with his wife and adopted daughter, Michelle. Mick, however, has very little cooking ability, using orange squash to make a sauce and microwaving unrefrigerated, vacuum-sealed pre-cooked lamb shanks. Mick is adamant that the problems in the kitchen are not his fault and his stubbornness causes a rift with his wife and daughter. Gordon takes the business matters out of Mick's hands, kicking him out of the kitchen. His daughter, Michelle, is placed in charge of the kitchen. She rises to the challenge and while Mick is not convinced over replacing his microwave food, the reopening is a success. Months later, the restaurant is making profit. Ramsay sends Michelle for further culinary training and she impresses him with freshly cooked food. The restaurant was renamed Martins' Bistro during production.
