S5E4 · Ribs

Carmy and Richie discuss Carmy's decision to step away; Richie encourages him to learn to work alongside others instead of trying to control everything. Natalie warns Carmy that the restaurant is barely able to make payroll. Cicero, Computer, and Computer's niece Cheese set out to secure air rights for the building to keep the restaurant's finances afloat. Sydney has Richie cancel several reservations, but he is unable to bring himself to do so. Carmy realises that canned tuna can be used to create tonnato sauce for the lamb entree, allowing Sydney to revise the menu to compensate for their ingredient shortages. Richie rallies the staff before service and has everyone wear an old set of misprinted T-shirts from the Beef for solidarity. Just before the restaurant opens, Jess notices that a reservation possibly linked to a Michelin Guide inspector has been changed.
