Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Quanta Leap

California Pizza Kitchen Cools

Cramer welcomed Rick Rosenfield, California Pizza Kitchen's (CPKI Quote) cofounder and co-CEO, to the show and asked him about the company's slowed expansion.

It's always been the company's goal, Rosenfield said, to not build to a predestined goal or number of stores. "We are looking for quality," he said. "It isn't growth for growth's sake, because we care about our brand."

Although the company has been "moving with the sector," it hasn't been given credit, and that is "frustrating," Rosenfield said. Despite cost pressures, the restaurant chain has been operating successfully and its royalty stream gives it some insulation, he explained.

The restaurant business is tough right now, but it may not be tough the same time next year, Cramer said. Market players should take a look at this stock and do their homework on it. All he said he can say is that "it's a quality-run operation."

Sudden Death

During the "Sudden Death" round, Cramer was bearish on Coeur d'Alene Mines (CDE Quote), Tata Motors (TTM Quote), Build-A-Bear Workshop (BBW Quote) and Gerdau AmeriSteel (GNA Quote).

Sell Block

During his "Sell Block" segment, Cramer told viewers he is worried about private equity.

Even though people who work there are all geniuses, he doesn't see what's so smart about owning these stocks.

Blackstone (BX Quote) and Fortress (FIG Quote) have convinced people to invest in their companies, but it's time to sell them both, Cramer said.
