1
00:00:01,467 --> 00:00:02,500
[Renus] I was
coughing up blood.
2
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:04,100
It came up to congestive
heart failure.
3
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,266
It was hard.
4
00:00:06,266 --> 00:00:08,100
-[Ludi] Sit down
and catch your breath, okay?
-Okay.
5
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:09,900
He had a full lung removal
6
00:00:09,967 --> 00:00:12,700
and it's just one thing
after other. [screams]
7
00:00:12,767 --> 00:00:15,967
He's stuck and I have
to be stuck with him.
8
00:00:15,967 --> 00:00:18,667
I want to be strong for her
but I can't right now.
9
00:00:18,667 --> 00:00:21,000
I can't take
all the health problem back,
10
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,266
but the way
you live your life,
11
00:00:22,266 --> 00:00:23,600
you can change that.
12
00:00:23,667 --> 00:00:25,900
Come on, come on.
You gotta move.
13
00:00:25,967 --> 00:00:27,667
[Robert] The only way
to get out
is to get through.
14
00:00:27,667 --> 00:00:29,266
It takes
communication.
15
00:00:29,266 --> 00:00:30,667
-[Renus] Ready to do this?
-[Ludi] Yes.
16
00:00:30,667 --> 00:00:32,767
[Robert] This is your own
little piece of Hawaii.
17
00:00:32,767 --> 00:00:34,100
-[Ludi] Wow.
-[Renus] Wow.
18
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:35,000
[Robert] Open your eyes.
19
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,100
[screams]
20
00:00:38,767 --> 00:00:39,800
How's everything going?
21
00:00:39,867 --> 00:00:41,100
-[man] Great day.
-Good?
22
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,333
My name is Renus Domingo.
23
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:44,800
I am the owner
of Island Kine Grinds
in Nampa, Idaho.
24
00:00:44,867 --> 00:00:47,400
I was born in Honolulu,
Oahu in Hawaii.
25
00:00:47,467 --> 00:00:49,300
So, because Hawaii
is this melting pot,
26
00:00:49,367 --> 00:00:51,000
we serve a variety
of different foods.
27
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,867
Portuguese, Japanese,
Filipino, and Hawaiian.
28
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,734
[Ludi] Order's up.
29
00:00:56,734 --> 00:00:58,867
[Renus] I run the restaurant
with my wife, Ludi Domingo.
30
00:00:58,867 --> 00:01:01,166
We met at the company
that I worked for in Hawaii
31
00:01:01,166 --> 00:01:03,000
and we just became
good friends.
32
00:01:03,066 --> 00:01:04,133
Went on lunches,
33
00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:06,200
then we just fell in love
with each other.
34
00:01:06,266 --> 00:01:07,767
We lived with each other
for about a year
35
00:01:07,767 --> 00:01:09,000
back home in Hawaii
36
00:01:11,166 --> 00:01:13,567
[Ludi] The Renus that I met
was very, very active
37
00:01:13,567 --> 00:01:16,367
very adventurous,
I loved that about him.
38
00:01:16,367 --> 00:01:18,600
-And he was very,
very kind-hearted.
-Okay.
39
00:01:18,667 --> 00:01:22,166
In 2006, about
seven months into dating,
40
00:01:22,166 --> 00:01:24,166
his birthday just
so happened to land
41
00:01:24,166 --> 00:01:27,200
on my best friend's birthday
who lived in Idaho.
42
00:01:27,266 --> 00:01:28,634
So I asked him,
43
00:01:28,634 --> 00:01:30,567
"Would you like to go to Idaho
to celebrate your birthday?"
44
00:01:30,567 --> 00:01:32,166
And he loved it.
45
00:01:32,166 --> 00:01:35,667
Two weeks later, we packed
and moved to Idaho. [chuckles]
46
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,767
The lumpia, that's it.
47
00:01:37,767 --> 00:01:39,700
When we first moved here,
I ended up working
48
00:01:39,767 --> 00:01:41,800
retail, and so did Renus.
49
00:01:41,867 --> 00:01:44,800
But we missed our food
so much and I thought like,
50
00:01:44,867 --> 00:01:47,266
"Oh, why not share it
with Idaho and..."
51
00:01:47,266 --> 00:01:48,967
-Table ten.
-[Renus] So we took a chance.
52
00:01:48,967 --> 00:01:51,000
We decided to take out
all of our savings,
53
00:01:51,066 --> 00:01:53,266
401(k) and came up
with a restaurant.
54
00:01:53,266 --> 00:01:55,567
[Ludi] I've always
had a passion for food.
55
00:01:55,567 --> 00:01:58,066
And Renus had
a passion for people
56
00:01:58,066 --> 00:01:59,800
and I thought it was
a great combination.
57
00:01:59,867 --> 00:02:03,000
But we have no restaurant
background, nothing.
58
00:02:03,066 --> 00:02:04,767
We dove into it
by blind faith.
59
00:02:04,767 --> 00:02:08,266
And Renus and I
got married in 2011
60
00:02:08,266 --> 00:02:10,266
on the grand opening
of the restaurant.
61
00:02:10,266 --> 00:02:13,100
So, it was just Ludi and I
for about three years.
62
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:14,867
I was a server
and she was a cook.
63
00:02:14,867 --> 00:02:16,500
We end up doing really well.
64
00:02:16,567 --> 00:02:19,100
[Ludi] And then
in 2017, one day,
65
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:22,100
we were at the movies
and he fell flat
to the ground
66
00:02:22,166 --> 00:02:23,800
and he could hardly move.
67
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,567
Renus was diagnosed
with a tumor on his cervical
behind his neck.
68
00:02:27,567 --> 00:02:29,600
It was causing
body paralyzation.
69
00:02:29,667 --> 00:02:31,767
Very scary, yeah,
very scary.
70
00:02:36,967 --> 00:02:40,066
[crying] Went into surgery
about three days later and
71
00:02:40,066 --> 00:02:41,200
they didn't take it all out
72
00:02:41,266 --> 00:02:42,800
[Renus continues speaking]
73
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:48,400
It was rough, uh.
74
00:02:48,467 --> 00:02:50,166
I was in the hospital
about three months.
75
00:02:50,166 --> 00:02:52,767
And then they released me
and I was bedridden
for another three months.
76
00:02:53,467 --> 00:02:54,767
[exhales heavily]
77
00:02:56,967 --> 00:02:58,767
Um, so I had to learn
how to walk,
78
00:02:58,767 --> 00:03:00,400
use my hands, uh...
79
00:03:00,467 --> 00:03:02,000
I have nerve damages
in my hand,
80
00:03:02,066 --> 00:03:04,100
and some in my legs for now.
81
00:03:04,166 --> 00:03:06,767
The doctors had
to keep remind me,
"It's gonna take time."
82
00:03:06,767 --> 00:03:08,667
Even just general things
like cleaning house,
83
00:03:08,667 --> 00:03:11,100
vacuuming,
I had to take breaks.
84
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:13,266
-You should go sit down
and catch your breath, okay?
-Okay.
85
00:03:13,266 --> 00:03:15,667
-Let's get some chairs
over there. You'll be okay?
-Yep.
86
00:03:15,667 --> 00:03:17,500
It was very, very scary,
87
00:03:17,567 --> 00:03:19,567
like, "How do I deal
with this?"
88
00:03:19,567 --> 00:03:22,967
I didn't wanna feel like
I was neglecting him
if I was here.
89
00:03:22,967 --> 00:03:26,667
And if I was there,
I'm neglecting,
like, our livelihood,
90
00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:28,467
like, you know, this was
our only source of income.
91
00:03:28,467 --> 00:03:34,300
And then 2021,
Renus got sick again.
92
00:03:34,367 --> 00:03:37,800
I was coughing up
blood, um, for about
a month straight.
93
00:03:37,867 --> 00:03:40,166
It came up to congestive
heart failure
94
00:03:40,166 --> 00:03:42,266
I was sedated
for 19 days.
95
00:03:42,266 --> 00:03:45,667
[voice shaking] I had
open heart surgery, um...
96
00:03:46,367 --> 00:03:47,600
It was hard.
97
00:03:49,166 --> 00:03:51,367
It was like back
to square one again.
98
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:56,100
[Ludi] It's just one thing
after other and
99
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,266
it kind of put him in a...
in a depressed state of mind.
100
00:03:59,266 --> 00:04:01,266
[Renus] Took a big toll
on our relationship
101
00:04:01,266 --> 00:04:03,100
because I felt like
I was a burden.
102
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
I want to be strong for her.
103
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,200
[breath trembling]
104
00:04:08,767 --> 00:04:10,900
But I can't right now.
105
00:04:10,967 --> 00:04:14,567
I'm very worried everyday
that I wake up, I see
106
00:04:14,567 --> 00:04:17,867
he has emotionally
checked out. [screams]
107
00:04:17,867 --> 00:04:20,000
If he doesn't get better
with his health,
108
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,066
it's... it's definitely gonna
be me shouldering everything.
109
00:04:23,066 --> 00:04:25,400
We have managed
to get in debt,
110
00:04:25,467 --> 00:04:27,667
I wanna say,
over 250,000.
111
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:31,500
We've had to totally solely
rely on our life savings,
112
00:04:31,567 --> 00:04:33,867
which we've
exhausted completely.
113
00:04:33,867 --> 00:04:37,367
We'd fought so hard
to have the business,
114
00:04:37,767 --> 00:04:39,000
and to just...
115
00:04:41,467 --> 00:04:43,100
watch it all go away.
116
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:46,867
I told him, "You gotta get
better because I...
I need you back."
117
00:04:46,867 --> 00:04:48,000
[Renus] You know
I'd be lying to you
118
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,767
if I said I'm happy
right now, but I'm not.
119
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:11,700
[Robert] This looks kind
of interesting because
120
00:05:11,767 --> 00:05:14,367
what I was expecting
to be a coffee shop,
121
00:05:14,367 --> 00:05:17,200
based on the name,
is actually
122
00:05:17,266 --> 00:05:21,166
some kind
of Hawaiian-ish restaurant.
123
00:05:22,567 --> 00:05:23,567
We'll see.
124
00:05:30,367 --> 00:05:31,767
So I walk into the restaurant.
125
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,266
Garbage containers,
126
00:05:34,266 --> 00:05:37,600
refrigeration straight
to my left, soda.
127
00:05:37,667 --> 00:05:41,300
The floor in need
of a dire cleaning.
128
00:05:41,367 --> 00:05:45,667
Low ceiling,
very distinctive windows.
129
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,266
We've got these
mangy tables
130
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:51,900
you can see it's
started to peel off.
131
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,300
Look at this.
132
00:05:55,967 --> 00:05:57,367
Some broken tables,
133
00:05:57,367 --> 00:05:59,266
you see they're
all beaten and battered up.
134
00:05:59,767 --> 00:06:01,066
Chairs, meh.
135
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:05,667
There's nothing descript about
this restaurant whatsoever.
136
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,867
Renus, Ludi,
come on in here!
137
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:12,500
-Good morning.
-[Renus] Hi, Robert.
138
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:14,367
-[Ludi] Good morning, aloha.
-How are you?
Nice to meet you.
139
00:06:14,367 --> 00:06:15,600
-Renus.
-Aloha.
140
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,266
I'm Ludi, nice to meet you.
Thank you so much for coming.
141
00:06:18,266 --> 00:06:20,100
-Don't be thanking
me right now.
-[chuckles]
142
00:06:20,166 --> 00:06:24,100
What does
Island Kine Grinds mean?
143
00:06:24,166 --> 00:06:27,800
Um, kine and grinds
is kind of like a slang
144
00:06:27,867 --> 00:06:30,967
from Hawaii. So kine
is like a variety.
145
00:06:30,967 --> 00:06:33,867
And grinds is to, like,
get your grub on.
146
00:06:33,867 --> 00:06:36,000
I honestly thought
it was a coffee shop.
147
00:06:37,166 --> 00:06:38,266
I see that.
148
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,000
What type of food
do you do?
149
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,266
We're a Polynesian restaurant
150
00:06:43,266 --> 00:06:46,100
and, um, we thought that
151
00:06:46,166 --> 00:06:48,367
by having Hawaiian
restaurant in Idaho,
152
00:06:48,367 --> 00:06:51,300
it would be like
an attention getter.
153
00:06:51,367 --> 00:06:53,467
-Um...
-Oh, you got my attention.
154
00:06:53,467 --> 00:06:54,967
-Who cooks?
-[Renus] She's the cook.
155
00:06:54,967 --> 00:06:56,567
-What do you do?
-I was a server.
156
00:06:56,567 --> 00:06:58,166
I like to talk. I like
to talk to people.
157
00:06:58,166 --> 00:07:00,367
Have you ever run
a restaurant before?
158
00:07:00,367 --> 00:07:01,934
-[Ludi] Absolutely not.
-We haven't.
159
00:07:01,934 --> 00:07:04,100
What did you do for a living
before you got into
the restaurant business?
160
00:07:04,166 --> 00:07:06,567
Oh, I worked for retail.
That's how we met.
161
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,500
-Are you married?
-[Ludi] Yes.
162
00:07:08,567 --> 00:07:10,100
-Yes, correct.
-How long you been married?
163
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:11,967
-Going on...
-[Ludi] As long as
the restaurant.
164
00:07:11,967 --> 00:07:14,100
-The restaurant opened,
yep. Ten years.
-Okay.
165
00:07:14,166 --> 00:07:15,400
Who does the books?
166
00:07:15,467 --> 00:07:17,600
-Mostly him.
-I do.
167
00:07:17,667 --> 00:07:19,867
So you have no clue,
'cause I'm just looking
at you right now.
168
00:07:19,867 --> 00:07:21,567
-You have no clue.
-I admit it, I don't.
169
00:07:21,567 --> 00:07:23,266
Don't you think
that's a problem?
170
00:07:23,266 --> 00:07:24,567
-Yes, it is a problem.
-[Ludi] Yes, absolutely.
171
00:07:24,567 --> 00:07:27,767
Somebody get me
P and Ls please.
'Cause you have no idea.
172
00:07:27,767 --> 00:07:29,100
-Correct.
-[Ludi] Yes, you're right.
173
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:31,000
Oh, my God.
174
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,500
What is this?
175
00:07:32,567 --> 00:07:35,567
I've got a piece of paper
with some numbers on it.
176
00:07:35,567 --> 00:07:38,066
-These are useless to me.
-I know.
177
00:07:38,066 --> 00:07:40,367
How do you know
what you're making?
178
00:07:40,367 --> 00:07:42,100
You pay taxes, right?
179
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:43,600
-Yes, but we're behind.
-Yes.
180
00:07:44,767 --> 00:07:46,166
How much are you behind?
181
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:51,266
Overall debt of the restaurant
is probably about 250,000.
182
00:07:51,266 --> 00:07:54,266
We stopped doing numbers
as of, like, four years ago.
183
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:56,467
[exhales sharply]
184
00:07:56,767 --> 00:07:58,400
Why?
185
00:07:58,467 --> 00:08:00,367
You're astounding
me right now.
186
00:08:00,367 --> 00:08:04,467
2017, Renus was, um,
Life Flighted to Utah.
187
00:08:04,467 --> 00:08:07,500
He had a tumor
on his cervical.
188
00:08:07,567 --> 00:08:10,300
And he spent about
six months in recovery.
189
00:08:10,367 --> 00:08:11,400
[Robert] I'm sorry
about that.
190
00:08:11,467 --> 00:08:13,000
Are you feeling
better? You okay?
191
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:14,667
Somewhat.
192
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:17,000
-He was hospitalized
twice back to back...
-[Renus] Yeah.
193
00:08:17,066 --> 00:08:22,166
...during the course
of being open here
from 2017 to 2021.
194
00:08:22,166 --> 00:08:24,300
What's going on
with your health now?
195
00:08:24,367 --> 00:08:26,900
Just last year, I was
hospitalized again
196
00:08:26,967 --> 00:08:29,000
for congestive
heart failure.
197
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,567
I was coughing up blood.
198
00:08:30,567 --> 00:08:32,500
He hid it for
quite some time
199
00:08:32,567 --> 00:08:37,266
to where his body
got so sick and so
he was Life Flighted again.
200
00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:39,266
So he had
a full lung removal.
201
00:08:39,266 --> 00:08:41,367
Why are you hiding
health problems?
202
00:08:42,367 --> 00:08:43,367
Didn't wanna...
203
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:48,800
worry anybody.
204
00:08:52,367 --> 00:08:54,100
So how do you think
she would have felt
205
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,467
if you'd have keeled over
on the floor
and she found you.
206
00:08:56,467 --> 00:08:58,166
How do you think
she would have felt then?
207
00:08:58,166 --> 00:08:59,367
Uh, bad.
208
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:02,900
Yeah, I would say so.
209
00:09:02,967 --> 00:09:05,867
Renus was very active,
he was 250 pounds
210
00:09:05,867 --> 00:09:08,567
lesser, he was very fit
until his illnesses.
211
00:09:08,567 --> 00:09:11,467
He just kinda checked
out emotionally.
212
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:12,567
[whispers] Yeah.
213
00:09:12,567 --> 00:09:16,000
It's overwhelming.
I've had to shoulder a lot.
214
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,166
It's a struggle for us
to keep the restaurant
215
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:20,300
viable and alive,
let alone our own--
216
00:09:20,367 --> 00:09:23,166
But your restaurant's
not viable looking at these.
217
00:09:23,166 --> 00:09:24,400
You're right.
218
00:09:24,467 --> 00:09:26,367
Do you pay
yourselves from here?
219
00:09:26,367 --> 00:09:28,700
Couple of times,
but that was it.
220
00:09:28,767 --> 00:09:29,867
So how do you live?
221
00:09:29,867 --> 00:09:33,667
We've exhausted
our savings, family.
222
00:09:33,667 --> 00:09:37,000
I know the numbers
shows we really
shouldn't be in business
223
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,700
and there's no reason
to continue,
224
00:09:38,767 --> 00:09:41,667
but I refuse to give up now.
225
00:09:41,667 --> 00:09:44,567
The reality is you're
officially bankrupt right now.
226
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:49,000
[exhales sharply]
227
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,567
Okay, You don't know
how to run a restaurant.
228
00:09:51,567 --> 00:09:53,066
You don't know
how to run a business.
229
00:09:53,066 --> 00:09:55,066
I can teach you that.
230
00:09:55,066 --> 00:09:58,667
Right now, it's
a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.
231
00:09:58,667 --> 00:09:59,900
Yeah.
232
00:09:59,967 --> 00:10:01,367
All right,
let's see your service.
233
00:10:01,367 --> 00:10:02,800
Let's see what food you do.
234
00:10:02,867 --> 00:10:04,767
So I get a feel
of how the restaurant runs.
235
00:10:04,767 --> 00:10:06,467
-Okay.
-Okay. Thank you, chef.
236
00:10:09,667 --> 00:10:12,400
[Robert] Renus has
so many health issues.
237
00:10:12,467 --> 00:10:16,667
The restaurant is in debt.
They're clueless in Idaho.
238
00:10:18,066 --> 00:10:20,367
How's it going, guys?
Come on in.
239
00:10:22,567 --> 00:10:24,867
[waitress] Aloha. How are you?
240
00:10:24,867 --> 00:10:26,266
Here's a menu for you.
241
00:10:26,266 --> 00:10:29,700
It doesn't really feel
like I'm in Hawaii
and I would love that.
242
00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:31,400
[man] I've been coming
since they first opened.
243
00:10:31,467 --> 00:10:33,266
Food seemed to be
a lot better back then.
244
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:35,200
Sometimes it's good,
and sometimes it's not.
245
00:10:35,266 --> 00:10:38,166
It would be nice to have
actual plates and silverware.
246
00:10:38,166 --> 00:10:40,567
[Robert] They're giving
plastic knives and forks,
247
00:10:40,567 --> 00:10:43,367
and plastic cups
to the tables.
248
00:10:43,367 --> 00:10:46,000
Don't know why.
It's a restaurant, right?
249
00:10:46,066 --> 00:10:48,567
The back is waiting
for menus, too.
250
00:10:48,567 --> 00:10:50,567
[Robert] You don't
have enough menus?
251
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:51,567
No.
252
00:10:52,367 --> 00:10:54,100
I know.
253
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,567
Do you guys like
pot stickers, lumpia?
254
00:10:56,567 --> 00:10:59,667
One thing that strikes me
kinda strange is servers
go to a table,
255
00:10:59,667 --> 00:11:03,667
take the order, come back
to the one machine here,
256
00:11:03,667 --> 00:11:07,266
put the order in, print it,
then give it to the kitchen.
257
00:11:07,266 --> 00:11:11,667
So it's three times
the work instead of going
with a handheld.
258
00:11:11,667 --> 00:11:13,266
Put it in and it goes
straight to the kitchen
259
00:11:13,266 --> 00:11:16,266
The receipt.
Don't have a printer thing
to do in the back,
260
00:11:16,266 --> 00:11:18,400
-so we just ring the bell.
-Why not?
261
00:11:18,467 --> 00:11:19,767
Didn't get time to hook it up.
262
00:11:19,767 --> 00:11:22,300
[blows raspberry and groans]
263
00:11:22,367 --> 00:11:24,266
[Robert] The front
of the house is a mess.
264
00:11:24,266 --> 00:11:25,967
There's a new ticket?
265
00:11:25,967 --> 00:11:27,300
[woman] Any new ticket
I've been placing it here.
266
00:11:27,367 --> 00:11:28,367
I know, but it's been...
267
00:11:28,367 --> 00:11:29,767
[Ludi] Get this out.
Get this out.
268
00:11:29,767 --> 00:11:32,700
[Robert] And the back
of the house
isn't much better.
269
00:11:32,767 --> 00:11:34,166
-[Ludi] Where's
the three piece lumpia?
-[man] No, no.
270
00:11:34,166 --> 00:11:35,467
Right here.
She get it right now.
271
00:11:35,467 --> 00:11:38,667
[Robert] What is the system?
This looks very unorganized.
272
00:11:38,667 --> 00:11:40,700
Why don't you have
printers in here?
273
00:11:40,767 --> 00:11:43,000
Um, good question.
274
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,100
[sighs and exclaims]
275
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:49,166
[Ludi] You had the one piece.
Did you grab any
for table two yet?
276
00:11:49,166 --> 00:11:50,467
[woman] Order's
not even complete.
277
00:11:50,467 --> 00:11:51,700
[Robert] There's
no cooking done.
278
00:11:51,767 --> 00:11:53,266
Most of it's already prepared.
279
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:55,000
[Ludi] Everyday,
we prep everything.
280
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,900
-But you're not cooking,
it's already done.
-Yes.
281
00:11:57,967 --> 00:12:00,667
[Robert] Everything's
on the steam table
already cooked.
282
00:12:00,667 --> 00:12:02,300
They make it fresh everyday,
283
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:04,166
but they freeze it
and then they cook it.
284
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:07,066
[snickers and groans]
285
00:12:07,066 --> 00:12:09,700
Why does it look like
nobody knows what's going on?
286
00:12:09,767 --> 00:12:10,967
That never came through yet.
287
00:12:10,967 --> 00:12:12,667
It's disorganized.
It's usually not like this.
288
00:12:12,667 --> 00:12:14,066
Who ordered these?
I don't have any.
289
00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:15,767
It just happened
'cause I'm here, right?
290
00:12:17,166 --> 00:12:19,867
No systems.
The food looks like eh.
291
00:12:19,867 --> 00:12:21,600
They're lost and so is she.
292
00:12:21,667 --> 00:12:23,000
Oh, my God.
293
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,867
So congratulations.
You have a totally
messed up restaurant.
294
00:12:29,767 --> 00:12:33,100
So congratulations.
You have a totally
messed up restaurant.
295
00:12:33,166 --> 00:12:35,567
All right. I've seen enough.
I've seen enough.
I've seen enough.
296
00:12:36,667 --> 00:12:38,900
The fact that
you are microwaving,
297
00:12:38,967 --> 00:12:43,567
the fact that you
are dumping on paper plates
and paper cups,
298
00:12:43,567 --> 00:12:47,100
it's not an experience that
I expect from a restaurant.
299
00:12:47,867 --> 00:12:49,700
That's why you're failing.
300
00:12:49,767 --> 00:12:52,867
The restaurant business
is a brutal business.
301
00:12:52,867 --> 00:12:54,200
It is.
302
00:12:54,266 --> 00:12:56,367
All right, guys. Thank you
very much for coming.
303
00:12:57,467 --> 00:12:59,600
Now gonna figure out
a plan to fix it.
304
00:12:59,667 --> 00:13:01,867
-Thank you, everybody.
-[Ludi] Thank you, everybody.
305
00:13:01,867 --> 00:13:06,300
It's humiliating, and if it's
not obviously good enough
306
00:13:06,367 --> 00:13:08,567
for the client, then...
then I'm failing.
307
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,166
[woman] Hello. What can
I get started for ya?
308
00:13:13,166 --> 00:13:15,667
All right. Uh, do me
a chicken katsu,
309
00:13:15,667 --> 00:13:20,700
pineapple meatballs,
Da Grinds mix, whatever
that's supposed to be.
310
00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:24,200
-A loco moco, the Spam...
-Spam musubi,
311
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:27,000
pineapple meatballs. Enjoy.
312
00:13:27,567 --> 00:13:29,667
Ludi, Renus!
313
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:35,500
Pineapple meatballs.
314
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:43,500
When I think of Hawaii,
I don't think
of pineapple meatballs.
315
00:13:43,567 --> 00:13:46,500
Sorry, I don't. This
is a Hawaiian macaroni salad.
316
00:13:48,867 --> 00:13:49,900
Flavorless.
317
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,600
The loco moco.
318
00:13:52,667 --> 00:13:55,367
Beef patty with
brown gravy and an egg.
319
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:01,667
The gravy has
zero taste at all.
320
00:14:01,667 --> 00:14:04,467
You know,
bland is an understatement.
321
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:09,100
So this is the Da Grinds mix,
322
00:14:09,166 --> 00:14:11,900
which is a kalua pig.
Look at that.
323
00:14:11,967 --> 00:14:13,767
It was dead
when they cooked it.
324
00:14:13,767 --> 00:14:17,700
Now look at it. I mean,
it's dry, shriveled up.
325
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,300
That is salty as hell.
326
00:14:23,367 --> 00:14:24,367
Spam.
327
00:14:25,266 --> 00:14:26,767
Look at the size of the spam.
328
00:14:26,767 --> 00:14:30,000
Look at the... the amount
of rice and the seaweed.
329
00:14:32,166 --> 00:14:36,000
I just want to climb
cry under the table
now and scream.
330
00:14:36,066 --> 00:14:38,367
-None of this is good.
-I agree.
331
00:14:38,367 --> 00:14:39,967
I'm not blaming you.
332
00:14:39,967 --> 00:14:42,967
But something's gotta give.
And it has.
333
00:14:44,066 --> 00:14:45,667
The service.
334
00:14:45,667 --> 00:14:49,467
The food.
I think you've just given up.
335
00:14:49,467 --> 00:14:51,066
As much as you may
like to cook,
336
00:14:51,066 --> 00:14:52,867
you're no good to me
in a kitchen.
337
00:14:52,867 --> 00:14:54,166
You're not a restaurant cook.
338
00:14:54,166 --> 00:14:57,500
-You can run this
from out here.
-Yeah.
339
00:14:57,567 --> 00:15:00,066
Right now, the way
you run it, absolutely not.
340
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,867
Why are you
so down on you?
341
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Not happy with myself.
342
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,367
What are you
not happy with?
343
00:15:15,367 --> 00:15:18,166
Coming from, you know,
344
00:15:18,166 --> 00:15:20,600
being able to do things
345
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:24,600
and not being able to,
plays a lot in here.
346
00:15:24,667 --> 00:15:28,000
I understand that,
but then you have
to change that narrative.
347
00:15:28,066 --> 00:15:29,567
Yeah. Yeah. You're right.
348
00:15:29,567 --> 00:15:33,600
Your culture, the Aloha Spirit
is everywhere.
349
00:15:33,667 --> 00:15:36,000
-It is. And I--
-But it's not in here.
350
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
I had that passion before.
We both had that passion.
351
00:15:39,066 --> 00:15:40,800
I want that passion again.
352
00:15:43,166 --> 00:15:44,867
-Don't know how to.
-But you gotta work for it.
353
00:15:44,867 --> 00:15:47,100
I just feel like
he stopped living.
354
00:15:50,266 --> 00:15:51,467
'Cause I'm frustrated.
355
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:56,100
He's stuck and I have
to be stuck with him.
356
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:58,300
And I wanna move forward.
357
00:15:58,367 --> 00:16:00,066
I've had to shoulder
everything
358
00:16:00,066 --> 00:16:03,000
and having to provide
that drive for him,
359
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,200
is really, really
hard. [sniffles]
360
00:16:06,266 --> 00:16:07,500
Are you starting
to resent him?
361
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:09,567
Yes, absolutely.
362
00:16:09,567 --> 00:16:13,767
Renus, if this closes
and you go bankrupt,
what happens to this?
363
00:16:14,767 --> 00:16:18,100
It will end in divorce,
I guarantee it. Right?
364
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:22,667
Yes. But quite honestly,
I can't fix him.
365
00:16:22,667 --> 00:16:26,600
-No.
-So it has to come
from within him.
366
00:16:28,767 --> 00:16:30,266
[Robert] You're
defeated. I get it.
367
00:16:30,266 --> 00:16:33,200
Renus, I can't take,
you know, all
the health problems,
368
00:16:33,266 --> 00:16:35,100
-I can't take that back.
-[Renus] I know.
369
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:37,166
-But the way
you live your life...
-Yeah.
370
00:16:37,166 --> 00:16:38,567
...you can change that.
371
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:42,166
-Can you take your hat
off for one second?
-Yeah.
372
00:16:42,166 --> 00:16:44,066
You know, this restaurant
is never gonna work
373
00:16:44,066 --> 00:16:46,300
unless we figure out
what it is to make you
374
00:16:46,367 --> 00:16:48,300
-love yourselves.
-Yeah.
375
00:16:48,367 --> 00:16:50,367
There are things that
you could be doing
376
00:16:50,367 --> 00:16:53,567
-to relieve the stress
on Ludi.
-I want to.
377
00:16:53,567 --> 00:16:56,300
She can't burden you
and this on her own.
378
00:16:56,367 --> 00:16:58,166
-It's just not possible.
-Yeah.
379
00:16:58,166 --> 00:17:01,100
The burden has to be
borne by both of you.
380
00:17:01,166 --> 00:17:05,867
-And it will give you
a feeling of self-worth.
-Yes.
381
00:17:05,867 --> 00:17:09,567
I am willing to throw
everything and a kitchen
sink at it.
382
00:17:09,567 --> 00:17:11,567
'Cause I think
you can do it.
383
00:17:11,567 --> 00:17:14,867
-But it's gotta
come from you.
-Yes, sir.
384
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,667
She needs you
as much as you need her.
385
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,266
Okay. Go grab
a cup of coffee.
386
00:17:20,266 --> 00:17:22,900
I'm gonna meet
my design team, figure out
what we do with this.
387
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,700
[Renus] It would be upsetting
to lose this and our marriage
388
00:17:28,767 --> 00:17:30,333
so things need to change.
389
00:17:30,333 --> 00:17:35,667
It's gonna take time
but I think if I can pull
through what I went through,
390
00:17:35,667 --> 00:17:38,367
I can see it happening.
Yeah, making it work.
391
00:17:39,467 --> 00:17:40,500
[whispers] Thanks.
392
00:17:43,667 --> 00:17:45,100
Aloha.
393
00:17:45,166 --> 00:17:47,266
I just saw it when
I walked in the door.
394
00:17:47,266 --> 00:17:48,300
Where's Tom?
395
00:17:48,367 --> 00:17:50,266
He's not feeling well, so
396
00:17:50,266 --> 00:17:53,567
it's gonna be you and me
on this one and the rest
of the D9 design crew.
397
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,500
Okay.
398
00:17:55,567 --> 00:18:00,200
Welcome to Island Kine Grinds.
399
00:18:00,266 --> 00:18:01,667
What does that say to you?
400
00:18:01,667 --> 00:18:04,166
Uh, coffee shop?
401
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:06,000
That's exactly what I thought
when I was driving up here.
402
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,166
-So it's Hawaiian
inspired cuisine.
-Yes.
403
00:18:09,166 --> 00:18:13,000
But there's just no vibe
of anything in here.
404
00:18:13,066 --> 00:18:15,867
It starts with this.
405
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,000
[Lynn chuckles]
406
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,500
Change the name.
407
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:22,900
Of the whole restaurant.
408
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:26,367
Wow. That means
the exterior sign,
409
00:18:26,367 --> 00:18:28,667
the signs that were in here,
the menu, everything.
410
00:18:28,667 --> 00:18:30,667
-Do you have a name in mind?
-I do.
411
00:18:30,667 --> 00:18:34,700
Aloha Island Grille.
412
00:18:34,767 --> 00:18:37,367
I wanna bring the island
into the restaurant.
413
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:41,000
If we took it to the next
level Polynesian tiki vibe,
414
00:18:41,066 --> 00:18:42,667
it'd be really cool.
415
00:18:42,667 --> 00:18:43,867
Make you really feel like
you're coming
416
00:18:43,867 --> 00:18:46,567
-to a Hawaii destination.
-I wanna experience it.
417
00:18:46,567 --> 00:18:48,667
[Lynn] We'll get on it.
Let's get it emptied out.
418
00:18:48,667 --> 00:18:50,166
All right, cool. Ludi!
419
00:18:50,166 --> 00:18:53,066
Renus, let's go!
Bring your people in here.
420
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:56,567
Take all the stuff
off these tables.
421
00:18:56,567 --> 00:18:58,367
All the stuff
here has to go.
422
00:18:58,367 --> 00:19:00,567
[Lynn] Start with the chairs.
Everyone, grab a chair.
423
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,600
[Robert] Yeah, all that goes.
424
00:19:03,667 --> 00:19:04,967
[Lynn] Come on,
come on. Let's move.
425
00:19:04,967 --> 00:19:06,500
All the things
up in a corner.
426
00:19:06,567 --> 00:19:09,767
It is sad. Ludi and I put
our heart and soul into this.
427
00:19:09,767 --> 00:19:13,367
And for it all coming down,
it's certainly
heart-wrenching.
428
00:19:13,367 --> 00:19:16,567
[Lynn] There we go. [exclaims]
429
00:19:16,567 --> 00:19:19,667
That's called
"the Aloha muscle."
430
00:19:19,667 --> 00:19:21,500
You made it look easy.
I will give it to you.
431
00:19:21,567 --> 00:19:25,266
[Ludi] It's bittersweet
that it all has
to end this way,
432
00:19:25,266 --> 00:19:27,066
but it's kind of
like a rebirth.
433
00:19:27,066 --> 00:19:28,400
[Robert] I don't have
time to talk.
434
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:30,700
I gotta move. I got
a restaurant to fix.
435
00:19:30,767 --> 00:19:32,266
All right.
Everybody else, out!
436
00:19:32,266 --> 00:19:34,700
Everybody out once you
got the cushions off, please.
437
00:19:36,066 --> 00:19:38,066
-[Ludi] Wow.
-[Robert] What do you
feel right now?
438
00:19:38,066 --> 00:19:39,600
I'm sad, but I'm excited.
439
00:19:39,667 --> 00:19:42,166
This is the new beginning
to an end.
440
00:19:42,166 --> 00:19:43,667
-If that makes sense.
-Yeah.
441
00:19:43,667 --> 00:19:45,567
-Yes.
-Does to me.
442
00:19:45,567 --> 00:19:47,200
But are you ready
for a new beginning?
443
00:19:47,266 --> 00:19:48,900
I am, Robert,
I'm ready. I'm ready.
444
00:19:49,567 --> 00:19:50,667
Do you believe him?
445
00:19:51,467 --> 00:19:52,500
I do.
446
00:19:52,567 --> 00:19:54,266
I know he has it in him.
447
00:19:54,266 --> 00:19:57,700
I'm gonna ask you
to do things you've
never done before.
448
00:19:57,767 --> 00:19:59,467
And dig really
deep in here.
449
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:03,867
'Cause we can speak
and say things,
that doesn't mean anything.
450
00:20:03,867 --> 00:20:05,667
-I want actions.
-Mmm-hmm.
451
00:20:05,667 --> 00:20:07,967
Not only for your health,
but also for the health
452
00:20:07,967 --> 00:20:09,867
of the restaurant
and the health
of your marriage.
453
00:20:09,867 --> 00:20:11,667
-Okay.
-I hope you're ready.
454
00:20:11,667 --> 00:20:12,767
I'll be ready.
455
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,166
Okay, take one last
look around you.
456
00:20:16,166 --> 00:20:19,867
-[Ludi] Hmm.
-This place will not look
like it tomorrow.
457
00:20:19,867 --> 00:20:23,266
Head on out. Well,
I only hope that
Ludi and Renus
458
00:20:23,266 --> 00:20:26,100
are ready for this.
I think Ludi is.
459
00:20:26,166 --> 00:20:29,100
I'm not sure
if Renus is yet.
460
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:31,200
That could be
the challenging factor.
461
00:20:31,266 --> 00:20:33,567
This is gonna
be a tough fix.
462
00:20:38,667 --> 00:20:42,200
[Robert] I'm in Nampa, Idaho,
where owners Renus and Ludi,
463
00:20:42,266 --> 00:20:45,500
have a restaurant and
a marriage that's
on the brink of collapse.
464
00:20:45,567 --> 00:20:47,200
Some big changes
need to be made
465
00:20:47,266 --> 00:20:49,300
but I'm starting
with the basics.
466
00:20:49,367 --> 00:20:51,467
All right, let's talk some
simple things for you.
467
00:20:51,467 --> 00:20:54,467
Teaching them the fundamentals
of restaurant finances.
468
00:20:54,467 --> 00:20:55,900
Starts with the recipe.
469
00:20:55,967 --> 00:21:01,867
Cost, times it by three,
gives you a selling price.
470
00:21:01,867 --> 00:21:04,100
-Wow. Wow.
-I can do that.
471
00:21:04,166 --> 00:21:07,767
[Robert] I also need
to reconnect the menu
to their Hawaiian roots.
472
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:09,200
So I've asked
my executive chefs
473
00:21:09,266 --> 00:21:11,367
to join us
for a brainstorming session.
474
00:21:12,667 --> 00:21:13,667
Hawaii.
475
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:15,867
When you close your eyes,
and think of Hawaii,
476
00:21:15,867 --> 00:21:17,367
what do you think of?
477
00:21:17,367 --> 00:21:18,300
Family.
478
00:21:19,667 --> 00:21:21,867
-What else?
-The smell of the flowers.
479
00:21:21,867 --> 00:21:26,400
I think of the ocean,
and the lush greenery.
480
00:21:26,467 --> 00:21:28,967
What do you
think about Hawaii?
481
00:21:28,967 --> 00:21:33,000
In regards to food
that are sourced on Hawaii.
482
00:21:33,066 --> 00:21:34,200
Pineapple, obviously.
483
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,000
-[Robert] Avocado.
-[Tito] Coconut.
484
00:21:37,066 --> 00:21:38,467
And tuna.
485
00:21:38,867 --> 00:21:39,867
[Robert] Tuna.
486
00:21:39,867 --> 00:21:41,367
-Chicken.
-Chicken.
487
00:21:41,367 --> 00:21:43,100
Spam, eggs and rice.
488
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:45,767
-[Robert] Okay.
-[Renus] Loco moco and
489
00:21:45,767 --> 00:21:47,200
shoyu poke.
490
00:21:47,266 --> 00:21:49,700
Okay. This is where
the creativity comes in.
491
00:21:49,767 --> 00:21:52,166
-I can take
the same ingredients...
-Mmm-hmm.
492
00:21:52,166 --> 00:21:54,967
-...and do something
unique with it.
-[Renus] With it, yeah.
493
00:21:54,967 --> 00:21:56,100
[Robert] Tuna is huge.
494
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:57,467
What else
comes from the ocean?
495
00:21:57,467 --> 00:21:58,900
Seaweed.
496
00:21:58,967 --> 00:22:02,166
What if I take
tuna and seaweed...
497
00:22:02,166 --> 00:22:03,166
Tuna poke?
498
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,767
-Yes, but everyone does poke.
-[Brian] Yeah.
499
00:22:05,767 --> 00:22:07,767
[Tito] Everyone does
like a bowl. We could do like,
500
00:22:07,767 --> 00:22:09,166
-like a wrap meal?
-[Robert] Right.
501
00:22:09,166 --> 00:22:11,467
-Ah!
-[Renus] All right.
502
00:22:11,467 --> 00:22:12,467
[Robert] Wrap.
503
00:22:12,467 --> 00:22:14,166
Now I've got
something different.
504
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:18,367
That's one dish
that represents Hawaii.
505
00:22:18,367 --> 00:22:19,600
Yes.
506
00:22:19,667 --> 00:22:21,867
We have to put that feeling
you both just had,
507
00:22:21,867 --> 00:22:23,333
-in here.
-[tapping on whiteboard]
508
00:22:23,333 --> 00:22:26,166
So it becomes a vacation
for them every time
they walk in the door.
509
00:22:26,166 --> 00:22:28,266
-[Ludi] Right.
-[Renus] Makes sense.
510
00:22:28,266 --> 00:22:29,467
We never really
broke it down like that.
511
00:22:29,467 --> 00:22:31,200
Never broke it down like that.
512
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,767
We mimicked a lot of the food
that was being served
in joints like this in Hawaii,
513
00:22:34,767 --> 00:22:36,100
but we're not in Hawaii.
514
00:22:36,166 --> 00:22:38,800
We have to bring Hawaii
to the Idahoans,
515
00:22:38,867 --> 00:22:39,867
It's time to evolve.
516
00:22:39,867 --> 00:22:41,867
[whirring]
517
00:22:42,967 --> 00:22:44,867
-It actually
does look really cool.
-Hey, hey.
518
00:22:44,867 --> 00:22:46,066
[Lynn] You came in
at the perfect time.
519
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:48,567
We got a live,
living wall here.
520
00:22:48,567 --> 00:22:50,367
It actually looks so real.
521
00:22:50,367 --> 00:22:52,166
It is real. You know...
522
00:22:52,166 --> 00:22:53,867
This is the best quality
you can get
523
00:22:53,867 --> 00:22:57,700
and it's gonna go
with the whole Kauai,
flora destination.
524
00:22:57,767 --> 00:22:59,500
Okay.
So, let's talk about overall.
525
00:22:59,567 --> 00:23:00,900
[Lynn] The first thing
I'm gonna do
526
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:03,500
is take the ceiling from white
to a rich dark brown,
527
00:23:03,567 --> 00:23:06,000
which is gonna make the entire
space actually feel bigger.
528
00:23:06,066 --> 00:23:07,467
We're gonna keep
the existing booths
529
00:23:07,467 --> 00:23:10,166
but reupholster them
with a new basket weave fabric
530
00:23:10,166 --> 00:23:12,367
and add hand-painted
bamboo detail.
531
00:23:12,367 --> 00:23:15,400
Along the side booths,
I'm gonna build
a tiki hut structure
532
00:23:15,467 --> 00:23:19,000
with authentic
thatched roof to really
give us that island vibe.
533
00:23:19,066 --> 00:23:22,300
Along the kitchen wall,
we're bringing in
island inspired flora
534
00:23:22,367 --> 00:23:25,000
to add some color and
give us that rainforest feel.
535
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,500
In the center of the space,
we're gonna add a new planter
536
00:23:27,567 --> 00:23:29,100
with totem inspired poles,
537
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:31,066
new lights
and some jungle flora.
538
00:23:31,066 --> 00:23:32,867
When we're done,
Island Kine Grinds
539
00:23:32,867 --> 00:23:36,767
is gonna live up to its new
name of Aloha Island Grille.
540
00:23:36,767 --> 00:23:38,867
-All right. I love it.
-[Lynn] Got a lot of work
to do.
541
00:23:38,867 --> 00:23:40,000
-[Lynn] Lots of work to do.
-[Robert] Get to work.
542
00:23:40,066 --> 00:23:40,867
All right.
543
00:23:41,767 --> 00:23:43,567
[tools whirring]
544
00:23:45,066 --> 00:23:46,166
So, how are we feeling?
545
00:23:46,166 --> 00:23:47,100
[Renus] Learned a lot today.
546
00:23:47,867 --> 00:23:49,166
Feeling excited and hopeful.
547
00:23:50,066 --> 00:23:51,567
Okay, I'm gonna give
you some homework.
548
00:23:51,567 --> 00:23:54,467
-Okay.
-The first thing,
for each of you,
549
00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:59,967
I want you to write a list
of your frustrations
with each other.
550
00:23:59,967 --> 00:24:01,967
I want you to really be honest
when you're writing.
551
00:24:01,967 --> 00:24:04,000
-[Renus] Okay.
-[Robert] Renus, for you,
552
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,200
what do you see your role
being in this restaurant?
553
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:07,300
Okay.
554
00:24:07,367 --> 00:24:09,367
My last thing is,
555
00:24:09,367 --> 00:24:11,367
tomorrow I'm gonna surprise
you with something.
556
00:24:11,367 --> 00:24:14,200
You are going to begin
something new tomorrow.
557
00:24:14,266 --> 00:24:16,767
So, you better start
wrapping your head around
558
00:24:16,767 --> 00:24:19,200
-you getting fit.
-Okay.
559
00:24:19,266 --> 00:24:21,567
I'm gonna start you
on the road,
560
00:24:21,567 --> 00:24:22,867
and then
you're gonna continue it.
561
00:24:22,867 --> 00:24:26,367
My whole goal is not only
make the restaurant healthy,
562
00:24:26,367 --> 00:24:28,100
but also make you healthy.
563
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:30,200
So you can assist
in running the restaurant.
564
00:24:30,266 --> 00:24:31,400
I need that.
565
00:24:32,166 --> 00:24:33,300
-[Robert] Okay?
-I really do.
566
00:24:33,967 --> 00:24:35,100
I'm gonna dig deep.
567
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,300
I mean, it's sink or swim.
568
00:24:38,567 --> 00:24:40,266
I'm not trying to sink
anymore, I'm done.
569
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,166
I'm done.
570
00:24:42,166 --> 00:24:44,667
Good. I wanna see
that passion tomorrow, okay?
571
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,066
All right. See you tomorrow.
572
00:24:47,066 --> 00:24:48,367
[Ludi] Thank you, Chef.
573
00:24:48,367 --> 00:24:51,467
I am starting to see a little
bit of change in Renus.
574
00:24:51,467 --> 00:24:55,166
However, it's gonna be a long
process and I really hope that
575
00:24:55,166 --> 00:24:57,600
tomorrow he can be
a complete partner for me.
576
00:24:57,667 --> 00:24:59,266
[Renus] It's hard getting
out of that rut,
577
00:24:59,266 --> 00:25:01,800
but, um, there's a word
that we say in Hawaiian,
578
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:04,767
it's called mana,
having that power within.
579
00:25:04,767 --> 00:25:06,767
And, I have that.
580
00:25:06,767 --> 00:25:09,166
I wanna move forward
not only for myself
581
00:25:09,166 --> 00:25:11,800
but for our marriage
and the restaurant.
582
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:21,266
[Robert] It's day two
in Nampa, Idaho,
583
00:25:21,266 --> 00:25:26,166
where a failing restaurant
has put owners Ludi and Renus
on the brink of bankruptcy.
584
00:25:26,166 --> 00:25:27,600
How much are you behind?
585
00:25:27,667 --> 00:25:30,000
Probably about 250,000.
586
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,200
[Robert] Ludi has been
carrying a heavy load.
587
00:25:32,266 --> 00:25:34,200
Trying to support
a sick husband
588
00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:36,600
while also running the entire
restaurant by herself.
589
00:25:36,667 --> 00:25:39,700
-Okay. You should go sit down
and catch your breath. Okay?
-Okay.
590
00:25:39,767 --> 00:25:40,967
[Robert] But she's
at breaking point,
591
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,967
so Renus has to dig deep
to turn his life around
592
00:25:43,967 --> 00:25:46,867
for the sake of the restaurant
and the woman he loves.
593
00:25:46,867 --> 00:25:49,000
His time
to bounce back is now.
594
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Or he and his wife
will lose it all.
595
00:25:51,066 --> 00:25:53,100
[tools buzzing and whirring]
596
00:25:53,166 --> 00:25:54,800
-[Robert] Good morning.
-[both] Morning.
597
00:25:54,867 --> 00:25:56,600
So, I assigned some homework.
598
00:25:56,667 --> 00:25:57,667
-[Renus] Yes.
-Right?
599
00:25:57,667 --> 00:26:00,166
The first thing I asked
for both of you
600
00:26:00,166 --> 00:26:03,266
was to write
your frustrations down.
601
00:26:03,266 --> 00:26:04,667
So, who would
like to go first?
602
00:26:04,667 --> 00:26:06,867
[chuckling]
603
00:26:06,867 --> 00:26:08,166
Okay, Renus.
604
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:11,467
This is probably one of my
biggest frustration, is that
605
00:26:11,467 --> 00:26:15,900
your lack of engagement in our
marriage and in the business.
606
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:22,567
And I've kept quiet [sobs]
because of what
you've gone through but...
607
00:26:23,567 --> 00:26:25,867
When you're hospitalized,
I'm hospitalized.
608
00:26:25,867 --> 00:26:30,700
When you're sick, I'm sick.
It's a domino effect
between us.
609
00:26:30,767 --> 00:26:33,266
I'm in a lot
of pain, emotionally,
610
00:26:33,266 --> 00:26:37,900
because this is like,
the love of my life and
you're the love of my life.
611
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:41,667
And I felt like
both is failing.
612
00:26:41,667 --> 00:26:44,367
And I don't know
how to [sniffles]...
613
00:26:44,367 --> 00:26:45,567
Come out of it.
614
00:26:48,767 --> 00:26:52,400
And you can see, obviously,
she's feeling this, right?
615
00:26:52,467 --> 00:26:56,967
And for the last four years,
Ludi has felt alone. Right?
616
00:26:56,967 --> 00:26:59,767
-But I've never
voiced out until today.
-[Robert] No?
617
00:26:59,767 --> 00:27:04,200
I want you to voice it because
I want him to understand
where you are.
618
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,867
So, what
are your frustrations?
619
00:27:07,867 --> 00:27:10,367
Not having a strong
communication about things.
620
00:27:10,367 --> 00:27:11,867
-[chuckles]
-Good or bad.
621
00:27:11,867 --> 00:27:14,567
Okay, we both feel that way so
obviously there's an issue
622
00:27:14,567 --> 00:27:16,266
-with you and me, so...
-Yeah.
623
00:27:16,266 --> 00:27:18,700
One of my solutions was,
during the day,
624
00:27:18,767 --> 00:27:22,867
take at least
15-20 mins and sit
like this and talk about it.
625
00:27:22,867 --> 00:27:26,367
But we don't.
We're just constantly
battling each other.
626
00:27:26,367 --> 00:27:28,767
And then it continues
and then we go home
and we're arguing, you know.
627
00:27:28,767 --> 00:27:31,266
I don't like going to bed mad.
628
00:27:31,266 --> 00:27:34,667
Yeah, this doesn't work
for me and I need
to communicate that to you.
629
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,767
What do you think?
630
00:27:36,767 --> 00:27:39,467
Yeah. I'm all for it.
[sniffles]
631
00:27:39,467 --> 00:27:41,400
But I need you to be all in.
632
00:27:41,467 --> 00:27:43,200
Oh, I'm all in. I have to.
633
00:27:43,967 --> 00:27:45,400
There's no going back.
634
00:27:45,467 --> 00:27:47,400
You don't have to.
Do you want to?
635
00:27:47,467 --> 00:27:49,767
No, I do want to.
Yeah, of course I want to.
636
00:27:49,767 --> 00:27:51,400
Yeah.
637
00:27:51,467 --> 00:27:54,000
It takes communication.
It takes--
638
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,967
Frustration, frustration,
equals...
639
00:27:57,967 --> 00:28:00,266
-Solution. Yeah.
-[Robert] Solutions.
640
00:28:00,266 --> 00:28:03,867
If this works,
and this works together,
641
00:28:03,867 --> 00:28:08,767
this will be a huge success.
If you stick together.
642
00:28:08,767 --> 00:28:11,166
The other piece
of the homework was
"What is your role?"
643
00:28:11,166 --> 00:28:12,667
-[Renus] Yes.
-Convey it.
644
00:28:12,667 --> 00:28:16,166
Number one thing is for me
to help with the front
of house and trading,
645
00:28:16,166 --> 00:28:17,467
and paperwork.
646
00:28:17,467 --> 00:28:19,900
Do the weekly sales, receipts.
This will help us know
647
00:28:19,967 --> 00:28:22,900
what we're making
for the month and
everything gets taken out.
648
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:24,100
[Robert] Absolutely.
649
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:25,266
All right, what else?
650
00:28:25,266 --> 00:28:28,800
Um, engaging more
with customers like I used to,
651
00:28:28,867 --> 00:28:30,400
and talking about my culture.
652
00:28:30,467 --> 00:28:33,000
That's what made me
happy with myself.
653
00:28:35,266 --> 00:28:36,867
[Robert] All right, I'm gonna
check in with my design team.
654
00:28:36,867 --> 00:28:38,600
I've got something planned
for you this morning.
655
00:28:38,667 --> 00:28:40,266
-Okay.
-I'll check in
with you shortly.
656
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,066
[drilling]
657
00:28:43,567 --> 00:28:44,967
[hammering]
658
00:28:46,066 --> 00:28:47,367
[Robert] Hey, hey!
659
00:28:47,367 --> 00:28:49,166
-Good morning, Robert.
-Good morning.
Oh, that looks good.
660
00:28:49,166 --> 00:28:50,900
[Lynn] This is
a tiki totem pole.
661
00:28:52,767 --> 00:28:54,367
Wow, look at that!
662
00:28:54,367 --> 00:28:55,667
This is wallpaper, right?
663
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:57,100
[Lynn] This is wallpaper.
664
00:28:57,166 --> 00:28:59,100
It was really hard
to find but I think
it fits the space perfectly.
665
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:01,767
Okay. My, uh, utopia?
666
00:29:01,767 --> 00:29:04,066
-It's good, huh?
-It's the island of Kauai
right there.
667
00:29:04,066 --> 00:29:06,166
We brought in the jungle,
the rainforests.
668
00:29:06,166 --> 00:29:09,266
I love it. This is what's
gonna carry the straw, right?
669
00:29:09,266 --> 00:29:12,567
Yeah. So, we're gonna
LED light the top, then we're
gonna install all the straw.
670
00:29:12,567 --> 00:29:14,200
It'll hang down
like a nice tiki...
671
00:29:14,266 --> 00:29:15,300
-[Robert] Okay.
-[Lynn] Yeah.
672
00:29:15,367 --> 00:29:17,467
I know Deb is working
on a new logo, right?
673
00:29:17,467 --> 00:29:20,000
Yeah. For the Aloha
Island Grille.
674
00:29:20,066 --> 00:29:21,367
-[Robert] Yeah.
-[Lynn laughs]
675
00:29:21,367 --> 00:29:23,567
All right.
I'm gonna meet the family.
676
00:29:23,567 --> 00:29:24,667
-Okay.
-Appreciate it.
677
00:29:24,667 --> 00:29:25,800
[Angelo] Let's get it done.
678
00:29:25,867 --> 00:29:28,367
All right. So,
679
00:29:28,367 --> 00:29:30,800
I told you I was gonna
take you on a little journey.
680
00:29:30,867 --> 00:29:31,767
Yes.
681
00:29:31,767 --> 00:29:34,967
Stand up.
And we're gonna walk this way.
682
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,266
Mind, body and soul.
683
00:29:37,767 --> 00:29:38,700
Repeat after me.
684
00:29:38,767 --> 00:29:40,400
-Mind, body and soul.
-Watch your step.
685
00:29:40,467 --> 00:29:42,867
-Mind, body and soul.
-Mind, body and soul.
686
00:29:42,867 --> 00:29:45,667
I'm curious. Maybe it's
gonna be a work out thing,
687
00:29:45,667 --> 00:29:47,400
I'm actually
nervous, a little bit.
688
00:29:47,467 --> 00:29:49,166
Mind, body and soul.
689
00:29:49,166 --> 00:29:52,066
But, hopefully it'll make me
feel more confident.
690
00:29:52,066 --> 00:29:54,066
'Cause that's a thing
that I lack of, is confidence.
691
00:29:54,066 --> 00:29:57,634
Mind, body and soul.
692
00:30:00,667 --> 00:30:02,900
[Robert] In Nampa, Idaho,
owners Renus and Ludi
693
00:30:02,967 --> 00:30:05,667
are struggling with their
restaurant and their marriage.
694
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:11,600
Renus' health troubles
have left Ludi running
the business all by herself.
695
00:30:11,667 --> 00:30:14,000
But after learning how much
she's been suffering,
696
00:30:14,066 --> 00:30:16,667
It's really, really hard.
[sniffles]
697
00:30:16,667 --> 00:30:19,300
[Robert] Renus is committed
to changing his lifestyle.
698
00:30:19,367 --> 00:30:21,967
It's time to put
his words into action.
699
00:30:23,367 --> 00:30:27,667
So, before we left, I asked
you to repeat something.
What was it?
700
00:30:27,667 --> 00:30:29,967
Mind, body and soul.
701
00:30:29,967 --> 00:30:32,266
Why did I keep saying
mind, body and soul?
702
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:34,166
If the mind's right,
703
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,667
soul and the body ready.
704
00:30:38,667 --> 00:30:41,367
One of the easiest ways
to get fit,
705
00:30:42,166 --> 00:30:45,000
outside of a gym, is water.
706
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,100
Because there is no stress
on the body whatsoever.
707
00:30:48,100 --> 00:30:52,266
I'm gonna have him
walk across the shallow part
of the pool very slowly.
708
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:55,400
Now, the coolest thing
about this is,
709
00:30:55,467 --> 00:30:57,200
-you have no
weight on you now.
-No.
710
00:30:57,266 --> 00:30:59,200
Right? So, there's
no pressure on your knees.
711
00:30:59,266 --> 00:31:01,400
-Mmm-hmm.
-Your back, your hips,
your ankles.
712
00:31:01,467 --> 00:31:03,000
So I want you,
in your own time,
713
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,500
-walk slowly.
-Okay.
714
00:31:04,567 --> 00:31:06,567
Just slowly, to your wife.
715
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:09,100
Nice and slow.
716
00:31:11,567 --> 00:31:13,100
-Oh, it feels good.
-[Ludi] Mmm-hmm.
717
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:17,000
Yay.
718
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,066
-How's that feel?
-Good.
719
00:31:18,066 --> 00:31:19,467
-When you're ready...
-Yeah.
720
00:31:20,266 --> 00:31:21,367
-...same thing.
-Okay.
721
00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:25,000
[Robert] Nice and slow.
No rush.
722
00:31:25,967 --> 00:31:27,667
Come on, dude.
You're doing awesome.
723
00:31:27,667 --> 00:31:29,367
-You're doing awesome.
-[water splashes]
724
00:31:30,767 --> 00:31:32,367
There is no rush on this.
725
00:31:33,166 --> 00:31:35,100
But you have to keep doing it.
726
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:38,200
And I wanna keep doing this.
This is the only way
727
00:31:38,266 --> 00:31:40,166
it's gonna work and...
728
00:31:40,166 --> 00:31:41,567
Not feeling all
the weight on me...
729
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:43,166
-Mmm-hmm.
-...makes it a little easier.
730
00:31:43,166 --> 00:31:45,767
-Good.
-And, it's motivation. Yeah.
731
00:31:45,767 --> 00:31:49,767
This was the first time
that he's actually done
anything in four years.
732
00:31:49,767 --> 00:31:53,467
So, I'm very proud of Renus
for taking this first step.
733
00:31:53,467 --> 00:31:55,300
He did a really,
really good job.
734
00:31:55,367 --> 00:31:57,400
It has to start somewhere
and it started today.
735
00:31:57,467 --> 00:31:59,200
Thank you, Robert. [laughing]
736
00:31:59,266 --> 00:32:00,867
Seriously, thank you.
737
00:32:00,867 --> 00:32:03,367
Bit exhausted right now,
but it's a good exhaustion.
738
00:32:03,367 --> 00:32:05,667
It helped a lot
on my knees and my feet.
739
00:32:05,667 --> 00:32:07,567
-And, it just felt good.
Overall, good.
-[water splashing]
740
00:32:07,567 --> 00:32:11,100
I wanna continue doing this
to, you know, better myself,
and my health.
741
00:32:11,166 --> 00:32:12,100
And for us.
742
00:32:12,166 --> 00:32:13,467
Good job, baby.
I'm proud of you.
743
00:32:13,467 --> 00:32:15,300
-Thank you. Thank you.
-[chuckling]
744
00:32:18,567 --> 00:32:21,400
[Robert] I'm proud
of Renus for starting
his physical recovery,
745
00:32:21,467 --> 00:32:25,600
And now it's time
to make both Ludi and Renus
proud of their new menu.
746
00:32:26,767 --> 00:32:27,934
[Robert] All right!
747
00:32:27,967 --> 00:32:30,000
What I'm gonna show you
are three dishes that I think
748
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,767
are gonna really take you
to a different level.
749
00:32:32,767 --> 00:32:38,767
The first one
is gonna be my take
on an island fried chicken.
750
00:32:38,767 --> 00:32:41,867
-[oil sizzling]
-[Robert] I'm gonna
be using rigatoni,
751
00:32:41,867 --> 00:32:43,700
I'm gonna warm it slightly.
752
00:32:43,767 --> 00:32:46,800
Into that, I'm gonna add some
raw carrots, celery.
753
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,400
I'm gonna say gochujang sauce.
754
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,500
Right?
755
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:58,467
I'm gonna then take
my cucumbers.
So, I've salted these.
756
00:32:58,467 --> 00:33:00,066
Almost like Korean kimchi.
757
00:33:00,066 --> 00:33:01,000
[Ludi] Mmm.
758
00:33:01,667 --> 00:33:02,700
[Robert] My chicken.
759
00:33:02,767 --> 00:33:04,166
[oil sizzling]
760
00:33:05,266 --> 00:33:07,166
-[Ludi] Wow.
-[Robert] Ponzu sauce.
761
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,066
Scallion.
762
00:33:09,066 --> 00:33:10,266
I wanna try it.
763
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:12,266
[Robert] Go for it.
764
00:33:15,667 --> 00:33:18,000
-Oh, my gosh.
-[muffled] Wow.
765
00:33:18,066 --> 00:33:20,166
-Lot of flavor.
-[Ludi] Delicious.
766
00:33:20,166 --> 00:33:22,000
The beautiful thing
about this dish
767
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000
is that it cost me $2.35
to make this dish.
768
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000
We're gonna sell it for $12.
And it puts in our pocket,
769
00:33:31,066 --> 00:33:33,867
$9.65 every time we sell it.
770
00:33:33,867 --> 00:33:34,867
[both] Wow.
771
00:33:34,867 --> 00:33:36,867
[Robert] Okay. Next one.
Poke wrap.
772
00:33:36,867 --> 00:33:39,867
I'm gonna take... our poke.
773
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:43,266
Take our pineapple.
774
00:33:44,266 --> 00:33:45,300
Edamame.
775
00:33:46,266 --> 00:33:47,233
Wow.
776
00:33:47,266 --> 00:33:49,900
[Robert] Some sesame seeds.
Some seaweed.
777
00:33:49,967 --> 00:33:51,667
-Poi vinaigrette.
-[Renus] Oh, wow.
778
00:33:52,266 --> 00:33:53,400
[Ludi] Oh, my goodness.
779
00:33:53,467 --> 00:33:54,567
-Mmm.
-[Robert] All right.
780
00:33:55,266 --> 00:33:56,300
A spinach tortilla.
781
00:33:57,567 --> 00:33:58,767
Little sushi rice.
782
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:00,667
Poke.
783
00:34:01,467 --> 00:34:02,800
[Ludi] My mouth's watering.
[chuckles]
784
00:34:03,367 --> 00:34:05,266
Then... seaweed.
785
00:34:08,266 --> 00:34:10,600
Basically what you wanna do
is just warm this up.
786
00:34:10,667 --> 00:34:12,667
-Give it a little
toasty-toasty.
-[oil sizzling]
787
00:34:13,767 --> 00:34:15,266
-[Renus] Ah.
-[Ludi] Ooh.
788
00:34:15,266 --> 00:34:16,400
[Renus] Look at the color.
789
00:34:17,667 --> 00:34:19,467
-It's sexy. [laughs]
-[chuckles]
790
00:34:20,266 --> 00:34:21,467
All right. Go for it.
791
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,266
[muffled] Oh, my God.
792
00:34:27,266 --> 00:34:29,767
-Mmm.
-[muffled] I've never
had it that way before.
793
00:34:30,567 --> 00:34:31,667
But that's really good.
794
00:34:31,667 --> 00:34:34,567
[Robert] Poke wrap.
The cost was $4.21.
795
00:34:34,567 --> 00:34:36,867
We sell it at $16.
796
00:34:36,867 --> 00:34:40,367
Profit of $11.79.
797
00:34:40,467 --> 00:34:42,100
-Wow.
-[Ludi] Wow.
798
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:43,100
Cha-ching.
799
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:45,500
[Robert] So, we go
onto the next one.
800
00:34:45,567 --> 00:34:47,000
Your loco moco.
801
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,600
Ground beef, seasoned.
802
00:34:49,667 --> 00:34:53,100
-My pan is hot.
Little grapeseed oil.
-[oil sizzling]
803
00:34:53,166 --> 00:34:55,867
While that's happening,
we've got brussels sprouts.
804
00:34:55,867 --> 00:34:57,100
[sizzling]
805
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:58,867
[Robert] Little crispiness.
806
00:34:58,867 --> 00:35:00,767
Finish with just
a touch of butter.
807
00:35:00,767 --> 00:35:03,166
Warm up my sauce.
808
00:35:03,166 --> 00:35:05,767
-I've got some
eggs to make, right?
-Oh, yeah.
809
00:35:05,767 --> 00:35:07,266
My coconut rice.
810
00:35:07,266 --> 00:35:08,367
Brussel sprouts.
811
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,333
My patty.
812
00:35:12,333 --> 00:35:14,567
-My mushroom, bacon,
and onion sauce.
-[Renus and Ludi] Wow.
813
00:35:15,667 --> 00:35:16,867
[Robert] Perfectly cooked egg.
814
00:35:17,567 --> 00:35:18,667
Scallions.
815
00:35:19,667 --> 00:35:21,266
-Yum.
-[Robert] All right.
816
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,767
-[Renus] Oh, yeah.
-[Ludi] Oh!
817
00:35:23,767 --> 00:35:24,967
-Wow.
-[Renus] Just like back home.
818
00:35:24,967 --> 00:35:26,166
[Robert] Now go into it.
819
00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:30,467
[muffled] Wow.
820
00:35:30,467 --> 00:35:31,467
[muffled, indistinct]
821
00:35:32,367 --> 00:35:34,066
That is loco moco.
822
00:35:34,767 --> 00:35:35,734
[muffled] Wow.
823
00:35:35,734 --> 00:35:38,400
[Robert] It cost us
$3.04 to make.
824
00:35:38,467 --> 00:35:40,567
We're gonna sell it for $13.
825
00:35:40,567 --> 00:35:44,367
Giving us $9.96 in our pocket.
826
00:35:44,367 --> 00:35:46,266
-I love it.
-When you eat that,
827
00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:48,066
are we in Hawaii?
828
00:35:48,567 --> 00:35:49,567
I'm back home.
829
00:35:49,567 --> 00:35:51,200
I'm gonna check in
with the design team,
830
00:35:51,266 --> 00:35:52,667
-and I'll catch up
with you shortly.
-Yes.
831
00:35:53,767 --> 00:35:55,700
Oh, it's so good. [laughs]
832
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,767
[drill buzzing]
833
00:35:58,767 --> 00:36:00,400
-[Angelo] All right.
-That's perfect.
834
00:36:01,467 --> 00:36:03,767
It's already
5:30 in the afternoon.
835
00:36:03,767 --> 00:36:06,367
For the centerpiece, you can
see we're painting it,
we're filling it.
836
00:36:06,367 --> 00:36:07,467
We're trying to get
this finished
837
00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:09,166
'cause it's a huge part
of the restaurant.
838
00:36:09,166 --> 00:36:10,266
[Lynn] Okay.
Shove that in there.
839
00:36:10,266 --> 00:36:12,100
As much
as a small space it is,
840
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:15,867
to create something
spectacular, it's taking
a lot of layers.
841
00:36:15,867 --> 00:36:17,867
Er, put it outside for me.
842
00:36:17,867 --> 00:36:19,367
Move this paper, please.
843
00:36:19,367 --> 00:36:21,800
Just don't hit any
of the walls, guys. Please.
844
00:36:21,867 --> 00:36:23,567
All right, guys.
You gotta move.
845
00:36:23,567 --> 00:36:25,900
I need the scrubbers,
squeegee, and the towels.
846
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,000
Chairs. Get chairs.
Where's the menus?
847
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:34,467
[Ludi] For Chef Robert to have
given Renus that push,
848
00:36:34,467 --> 00:36:37,767
that is his inspiration
to go for it.
849
00:36:37,767 --> 00:36:40,200
And, from now on,
the sky is the limit.
850
00:36:40,266 --> 00:36:41,367
[Renus] It was a good journey.
851
00:36:41,367 --> 00:36:43,767
I learnt how
to love myself again.
852
00:36:43,767 --> 00:36:46,066
It's either you
throw in the towel or
you just keep pushing.
853
00:36:46,066 --> 00:36:47,467
Um, for me,
I need to keep pushing.
854
00:36:47,467 --> 00:36:50,400
For not only myself.
For Ludi and the restaurant.
855
00:36:50,467 --> 00:36:51,900
It's exciting, you know.
856
00:36:51,967 --> 00:36:53,567
It's like
it's a new beginning.
857
00:36:57,467 --> 00:36:59,900
[Robert] I want you
to turn around and look
at the front of your building.
858
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:06,467
-Wow [laughs]
-Oh, my gosh.
859
00:37:06,467 --> 00:37:10,667
Your new name is
The Aloha Island Grille.
860
00:37:10,667 --> 00:37:13,767
-I love it. Love it.
-Love it.
861
00:37:13,767 --> 00:37:15,467
Ludi, stand in the front here.
862
00:37:15,467 --> 00:37:18,567
Put your hands
on her shoulders.
Close your eyes now.
863
00:37:19,667 --> 00:37:21,166
And start walking slowly.
864
00:37:22,667 --> 00:37:23,600
Walk in straight.
865
00:37:25,266 --> 00:37:27,000
I'm just gonna
turn you this way.
866
00:37:28,767 --> 00:37:35,066
Are you ready
to see, the brand new
Aloha Island Grille?
867
00:37:35,066 --> 00:37:36,266
-Yes, Chef!
-[Ludi] Yes!
868
00:37:36,967 --> 00:37:38,266
Open your eyes.
869
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:48,100
Are you ready
to see, the brand new
Aloha Island Grille?
870
00:37:48,166 --> 00:37:49,400
-Yes, Chef!
-[Ludi] Yes!
871
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,100
Open your eyes.
872
00:37:52,266 --> 00:37:55,266
[shrieking] It is beautiful!
873
00:37:56,266 --> 00:37:58,600
-[Renus] Amazing.
-[Ludi] Oh, my God! [laughs]
874
00:37:58,667 --> 00:38:01,266
-I'm in disbelief.
-[Renus] This is Hawaii.
875
00:38:01,266 --> 00:38:05,000
What a transformation.
Unbelievable!
876
00:38:05,667 --> 00:38:07,467
Look at the booths. Wow!
877
00:38:07,467 --> 00:38:09,200
The bamboo
was all hand-painted.
878
00:38:09,266 --> 00:38:12,100
-Wow. Wow.
-Oh, my gosh!
879
00:38:13,266 --> 00:38:15,700
The colors are beautiful.
880
00:38:15,767 --> 00:38:17,166
-I love this.
-I love that.
881
00:38:17,166 --> 00:38:19,467
-I love that.
-Love, love, love, love that.
882
00:38:19,467 --> 00:38:23,100
And then the pillar. Gorgeous.
883
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,600
This is your own little
piece of Hawaii.
884
00:38:25,667 --> 00:38:27,100
I think we're gonna
stay here tonight.
885
00:38:27,166 --> 00:38:28,700
-[Ludi laughing]
-[chuckles]
886
00:38:28,767 --> 00:38:30,767
What are you think right now,
'cause I can see you crying.
887
00:38:30,767 --> 00:38:32,266
These are happy tears.
888
00:38:32,266 --> 00:38:34,400
I'm grateful. I'm ready.
889
00:38:34,467 --> 00:38:37,166
And, I thank you very much,
bottom of my heart.
890
00:38:37,867 --> 00:38:38,867
Aloha!
891
00:38:38,867 --> 00:38:39,867
[all laughing and exclaiming]
892
00:38:39,867 --> 00:38:41,700
-[Ludi] Mahalo.
-You match the wall!
893
00:38:41,767 --> 00:38:43,100
-How are you doing?
-Good.
894
00:38:43,166 --> 00:38:44,467
Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
895
00:38:44,467 --> 00:38:45,667
-How are you?
-Thank you so much.
896
00:38:45,667 --> 00:38:46,667
[Lynn] What do you guys think?
897
00:38:46,667 --> 00:38:47,800
-Oh!
-Oh, my God.
898
00:38:47,867 --> 00:38:51,600
It's beyond, beyond what I
was even imagining.
899
00:38:51,667 --> 00:38:54,467
He said he wanted us to turn
this into a destination.
900
00:38:54,467 --> 00:38:56,467
-Yes!
-And I think
that's what we did.
901
00:38:56,467 --> 00:38:59,467
[Renus] It is.
More than a destination.
902
00:38:59,467 --> 00:39:00,800
We have something
for you guys.
903
00:39:00,867 --> 00:39:03,300
-Okay.
-It's the Hawaiian way
of saying thank you.
904
00:39:05,567 --> 00:39:06,867
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
905
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,867
-You'll make me proud, right?
-Yes.
906
00:39:09,867 --> 00:39:11,233
-I know you will.
-Definitely.
907
00:39:11,233 --> 00:39:12,600
-[Ludi] Thank you so much.
Mahalo.
-[Lynn] Oh, mahalo.
908
00:39:12,667 --> 00:39:13,800
Thank you as well.
909
00:39:13,867 --> 00:39:15,300
-[muffled] Thank you.
-We're so happy for you guys.
910
00:39:15,367 --> 00:39:17,700
-Thank you.
-[Robert] Well, I think
there's only one thing left.
911
00:39:17,767 --> 00:39:18,967
-Ready to let the people in?
-[Renus] Yes.
912
00:39:18,967 --> 00:39:19,967
-[Ludi] Yes.
-[Renus] Ready.
913
00:39:19,967 --> 00:39:21,000
Go let them in.
914
00:39:21,066 --> 00:39:23,367
-Oh, my God!
-[laughing]
915
00:39:25,367 --> 00:39:26,500
-[Ludi] You ready?
-[Renus chuckling]
916
00:39:26,567 --> 00:39:27,500
[faint cheers]
917
00:39:27,567 --> 00:39:30,200
-[Ludi] Ready?
-[both] Aloha!
918
00:39:30,266 --> 00:39:33,467
[Ludi] Thank you for coming!
I hope you enjoy
yourselves tonight
919
00:39:33,467 --> 00:39:35,266
Mahalo. Come on in!
920
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:37,200
[crowd cheering]
921
00:39:37,567 --> 00:39:38,667
Wow.
922
00:39:38,667 --> 00:39:40,867
Hi, welcome. Aloha.
923
00:39:40,867 --> 00:39:43,066
Thank you for coming in.
We're gonna serve
it to you guys, okay?
924
00:39:43,066 --> 00:39:46,166
Looks great! It kinda brings
out the aloha spirit.
925
00:39:46,166 --> 00:39:47,767
[man] I like
the little tiki huts.
926
00:39:47,767 --> 00:39:49,200
I like
the centerpiece as well.
927
00:39:49,266 --> 00:39:50,567
It's just
a completely different place.
928
00:39:50,567 --> 00:39:53,066
How are we doing, boys?
Server come to you
guys already?
929
00:39:53,066 --> 00:39:55,500
-[woman] Uh, he's
getting our drink.
-Okay. Sounds good.
930
00:39:55,567 --> 00:39:59,300
[Robert] So, today I'm looking
for Renus to share the load
in the front of the house.
931
00:39:59,367 --> 00:40:00,767
Let me take over
for you, all right?
932
00:40:00,767 --> 00:40:03,000
-Aw, really? Thank you.
-Yeah. Go out there.
933
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,266
-Thank you. Okay.
-Yeah.
934
00:40:04,266 --> 00:40:06,100
[Robert] And Ludi can still
check in on the kitchen.
935
00:40:06,166 --> 00:40:08,300
-You're doing a good job, Emo.
-Thank you. Thank you.
936
00:40:08,367 --> 00:40:09,700
[Robert] But he needs
to oversee
937
00:40:09,767 --> 00:40:11,867
the entire service
as a manager.
938
00:40:11,867 --> 00:40:14,500
Oh, the new
poke wrap is delish.
939
00:40:14,567 --> 00:40:17,367
Thank you, for giving
us a second chance.
940
00:40:17,367 --> 00:40:21,266
The kitchen is doing
a great job, our servers
are having fun.
941
00:40:21,266 --> 00:40:22,500
I can't ask for anything more.
942
00:40:22,567 --> 00:40:23,867
-[man] Yum!
-[girl] Yes!
943
00:40:23,867 --> 00:40:25,166
[server] Enjoy.
944
00:40:25,166 --> 00:40:28,467
My poke wrap is delicious.
I will definitely
be back here.
945
00:40:28,467 --> 00:40:31,667
I ordered a loco moco.
It's outstanding!
946
00:40:31,667 --> 00:40:34,367
I ordered the island
fried chicken. It's delicious.
947
00:40:34,367 --> 00:40:38,200
Renus is doing great.
He's even taking the time
to talk to customers,
948
00:40:38,266 --> 00:40:40,166
which is something
that he used to love doing.
949
00:40:40,166 --> 00:40:43,967
The future is as bright
as the sunshine in Hawaii.
950
00:40:43,967 --> 00:40:46,400
-That's "shaka", that means
hang loose in Hawaii.
-[laughing]
951
00:40:46,467 --> 00:40:47,567
-Thank you.
-Thank you, guys.
952
00:40:47,567 --> 00:40:49,500
[Renus] The aloha spirit,
it's alive.
953
00:40:49,567 --> 00:40:53,367
Good food, good family.
That's what I want here
for my restaurant.
954
00:40:53,367 --> 00:40:55,767
I'm getting goosebumps.
[laughing] So...
955
00:40:55,767 --> 00:40:56,900
[Hawaiian music playing]
956
00:40:56,967 --> 00:40:57,900
[Ludi] Hey, Robert.
957
00:40:59,266 --> 00:41:01,567
[Robert cackling]
958
00:41:01,567 --> 00:41:03,600
[crowd cheering]
959
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:07,100
[Ludi] All right.
Go dance with Danielle.
960
00:41:07,166 --> 00:41:08,200
[Robert] Are you
ready for this?
961
00:41:08,266 --> 00:41:09,500
[dancer] Put your hands up.
962
00:41:09,567 --> 00:41:11,567
[crowd laughing]
963
00:41:12,967 --> 00:41:14,567
[cheering and applause]
964
00:41:14,567 --> 00:41:15,667
Go right.
965
00:41:16,567 --> 00:41:18,567
[cheering continues]
966
00:41:22,467 --> 00:41:24,467
[Hawaiian music playing]
967
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,266
Thirty minutes
in with no food.
968
00:41:32,266 --> 00:41:33,900
My mom's always micromanaging.
969
00:41:33,967 --> 00:41:35,600
You want me to turn
this empty pot off?
970
00:41:35,667 --> 00:41:37,400
Don't take the dirty plates
to the other table.
971
00:41:37,467 --> 00:41:39,400
No sugars and creamers
in the dish tub.
972
00:41:39,467 --> 00:41:41,000
I finally left.
973
00:41:41,667 --> 00:41:43,467
I just feel really alone.
974
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,000
So, I'm here right?
You're never alone.
That's for sure.
975
00:41:49,066 --> 00:41:50,100
All right,
let's load it out, guys.
976
00:41:50,166 --> 00:41:51,900
I don't think it's too late
for you to say
977
00:41:51,967 --> 00:41:53,467
you've co- found
the restaurant.
978
00:41:53,467 --> 00:41:56,100
David, I am truly sorry.
979
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:57,233
[Robert] Quick, quick,
quick. Let's go.
980
00:41:57,266 --> 00:41:57,800
-[woman] That's really good.
-Oh, that's phenomenal.
