Olde Stone Mill

Olde Stone Mill - Ramsay morphs into a Gatorade commercial by badgering a self-conscious hot-head restaurateur about the lessons to be learned from failure. Thankfully, the episode's unspoken subtext -- dissolution of a marriage because of financial strife -- is overlooked by the producers.
