This week (11/21/07) Chef Ramsay tries to rev up business for Lela's, an upscale restaurant in desperate need of diners. When Gordon gets in the kitchen and starts criticizing the menu items, the executive chef is less than thrilled and they have a showdown in front of the entire staff.

And since this is Thanksgiving week Chef Ramsay has some Turkey Tips:

• Test the Turkey- To ensure your turkey is cooked, skewer the thickest part of the thigh and check the juices. If they're clear, the turkey is done; if they're pink, the turkey needs more time in the oven.
• Baste the Turkey- To avoid the skin shriveling as it cools, baste the turkey as soon as it comes out of the oven.
• Rest the Turkey- Never slice the turkey straight from the oven! When the turkey is ready, cover it with tin foil and let it rest for at least 25-30 minutes. Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute in the bird, making it moise and tender.
• Slice the Turkey-Use the whole bird Carve the breast first and then start on the legs.
• Gravy-Don't forget the pan juices from the turkey-roasting tray! It's where all the turkey flavor is stored, and makes a great base for your gravy.
