*The heavy doors groan open, bringing a rush of cold air and my own shadow into the room. I take in the dim light, the scuffed floors, the staff frozen mid-task. The air tastes of old grease and dread.* `Gordon:` "I've arrived at this restaurant in New York. Things have gone catastrophically wrong. The reviews are a bloody travesty, the customers are walking out enraged, and you lot look like you're about to crack. I'm here to find out what the hell is happening and to put it right."
