Kitchen Nightmares USA Season 5 Episode 14 Prohibition Grille

In Kitchen Nightmares USA season 5 episode 14, Chef Gordon Ramsay heads to Everett, Washington to help save Prohibition Grille, a restaurant that's on the brink of closure due to its outdated menu and lackluster service. Ramsay meets owners Amanda and Jeremy before sampling their offerings, which include a crab cake served with questionable dipping sauce, and a soggy mac and cheese.

After taste-testing their dishes, Ramsay confronts the couple about their lack of enthusiasm towards their business and urges them to take ownership of their restaurant. Ramsay begins by revamping the menu to reflect fresh, seasonal ingredients and updating the decor to give the restaurant a modern, welcoming vibe.

With the help of Ramsay's suggestions, the Prohibition Grille undergoes a complete transformation. Menu items are replaced with inspired dishes such as a lamb burger with bacon onion jam and a beet salad with goat cheese. The service also gets an upgrade with new staff and a training session to ensure that every customer receives attentive, friendly service.

However, the road to success is not without its bumps in the road. Ramsay is dismayed to find that Jeremy's laid-back attitude has returned and Amanda is having trouble keeping up. Ramsay pushes them both to step up, and after some nudging, they find themselves taking ownership of their business and supporting each other.

As dinner service begins, the restaurant is busier than it's ever been, but it's immediately clear that the kitchen is struggling. Ramsay steps in to get things back on track, but tensions rise between the staff and the owners. With encouragement, the staff band together and manage to turn things around by the end of service.

In the end, Ramsay is pleased to see that the Prohibition Grille has taken his suggestions to heart and is thriving. The once-dull menu and decor have been replaced with bright, fresh updates, and the staff is confident, efficient and believes in their restaurant. Ramsay ends this episode of Kitchen Nightmares USA with the satisfaction of knowing he has helped another struggling restaurant get back on track.
