Dean & wife had big dilemma, big overhead and few sales (plus their home was attached.) Both Dean and beautiful wife looked tormented over possible failure which Gordon identified as the big problem in close of episode.Good look at a businessman's struggles for success. In the opening Dean says "what if foods ready & no one shows up." My wife and I have been there before- everyday we owned our restaurant we asked that same question. What Gordon said I also found to be the answer "the right food -good food, and consistency" brings back customers. Not sure if Dean was coerced (scripted) to initially rebel against Gordon, but I give the guy credit for standing up for his original menu. What would you think if Dean had simply said "right Gordon -food sucks!"I can identify with Gordon's 'cut-to-the-chase' approaches. Olde Stonemill did not have the rotten/spoiled food problems that Gordon typically uncovers in other kitchens. The employees also did not appear slack from the beginning. No... the menu and perhaps marketing were the larger problems. Often you need a kick to get the ball rolling again. I am hopeful new menu and other changes turnout a big success. Perhaps they can actually pay off their debts and go into the black. Dang place really looks like a steakhouse huh?
