For the second part of the evening, G-Ram visits a restaurant called The Black Pearl, so you know it's only been around about as long as Disney's Pirates franchise. It has three co-owners, two who were friends before named David and Brian, and a third named Greg who they brought on as an "investor" because they didn't want to lose any of their own money in the sinking ship. We hear from the staff that Brian basically doesn't do anything, and if he had his choice, would never even be at the restaurant, Greg works the hardest but has no idea what he's doing, and David is a loud, obnoxious shithead.

G-Ram shows up and talks to the disgruntled staff and finds out that not only are the owners only sporadically on premises, they never show up together. They have all stopped speaking, and now only email or text each other necessary information. After this information is dispensed, David, the obnoxious owner, walks in in a black dress coat and dark shades.

Waaaayyyy too cool for school.

G-Ram asks if David is hands-on or hands-off in terms of ownership, and David answers "hands-off." His staff all look visibly skeptical. He says he's there 3 to 4 days per week. G-Ram thanks him and says he's going to start off with a bite to eat and then they'd have a chat. David says that he thinks when G-Ram first arrives he was "a bit confrontational," so either there were some really drastic edits, or David is a little on the unstable side. Can I take any bets for the latter?

G-Ram sits down and a fruit loop named Steven waits on him. Steven bats his eyes flirtatiously the whole time he takes G-Ram's order, and says that by "joking around," G-Ram became more human and less of a monster to him. And by asking G-Ram for a copy of his hotel key, Steven became more terrifying stalkerish and less of a server for him.

Don't judge me.

G-Ram hates all the food, which is drastically different from every other episode of this show, ever. He meets the other two owners as they come out in turn while the others wait in the back "owners office." They say that all they know for sure is that he likes Steven (hopefully not too much) and that he ordered all 3 versions of lobster roll they had. David wants to know if he's paying, because they should definitely give him a check. I pretty much can't wait to see what happens if they do.

Is Gordon Ramsay gonna have to slap a bitch?!?!

G-Ram gathers the three owners and asks them if they ever sit down and have conversations about the restaurant, and they say no. He asks if they've fallen out, and they say dozens of times. Greg says he feels that David and Brian don't know what they are doing, and David says "I know you are but what am I?!?!" G-Ram gives them all a time-out and then leaves for the day.

Outside, G-Ram says that Brian does nothing, David is pretty much the shittiest person he's ever met, and Greg doesn't know what's going on. "In a nutshell, Sleepy, Grumpy and Dopey. What am I, Snow fucking White?" LOL

Sleepy, Grumpy and Dopey
