Next up on the menu was the “Elvis hamburger” – banana, peanut butter, bacon and a beef patty. Colin samples the Elvis hamburger.

Having one bite, Fassnidge rapidly spat out the food prior to stating, “In my cooking life I’ve struck a brand-new low, it’s so bad.” As Jo concerned Fassnidge’s table to hear his feedback, the Irish-Australian chef provided her some hard love.

Jo stormed within and assembled her personnel. “Alright men we got some feedback, let’s simply state I’m not f pleased,” she stated. “Basically, the food is s , what I’ve seen head out I should not have let f head out.” As the lunch rush started, Fassnidge’s discoveries continued – including what he called the “harmful” practice of “pre-cooking, freezing and re-cooking chicken or beef patties”. Colin takes a look at the frozen patties. Credit: SevenJo informed Fassnidge they froze the patties to “attempt and accelerate the procedure of getting the hamburgers out faster”. The chef was not impressed. “The chicken – cooking it and freezing it and after that preparing it once again, that’s a dish for catastrophe … that’s salmonella. That’s the top gastrointestinal disorder around the globe,” he stated. “You might really eliminate somebody with salmonella.” “I’ve had no concerns up until now,” a bold Jo stated. “Well not that you understand of,” Fassnidge answered back.

Jo kicks the electronic cameras out. Credit: SevenJo started making fun of Fassnidge prior to apologising, “Sorry, a lot of jello shots”. “I drive all the method here, everybody’s half-pissed in the joint, cash’s headed out the door,” he stated, triggering a savage action from Jo. “If that’s your f mindset then you can stick that up where the sun do not shine, due to the fact that I do not require that s ,” she stated through tears prior to storming off.
