Kitchen Confidential (2005) - 1x01 - Exile on Main Street

Jack Bourdain was a great chef four years ago until he made his own demise. Now, he works in a restaurant where they serve "ninja pizza explosions" for kids birthday parties. He is contacted by Pino Lugeria, the owner of a great restaurant, to take over the kitchen and assemble a team of chefs, waiters, help and a menu in under 48 hours. For this, he goes back to his old friends, Seth Klein, the pastry chef, Teddy Wong, the seafood expert, Steven Daedelus, as a sous-chef and also great thief, offering all of them what they really wanted.
