(SOLVED) Beyond the Beef is beyond ♥♥♥♥ed, please help
My issue has been solved by talgaby. I'll leave the discussion here in case anyone else encounters the same issue (you don't have to sneak to the podium, by the way):

I have played through Beyond the Beef to the point where I have to enter the members only area of the gourmand to expose Mortimer. However, when I enter the members only section, Mortimer just walks away as he recites his speech.
He leaves the room before saying "Bon Appetit", and if I follow him out (or sneak back around to avoid the guards), when I speak to him, he just says "Mark my words. I'll have you filleted for this." and stands there. I know I can complete the quest by bringing Ted back to his father, but I really want to expose Mortimer.
Is there any way of solving this?

Thanks so much for the answer, but won't using the console disable achievements for the save, or is that just for the play session (as in, if I save then restart the game they'll be re-enabled)?

Actually, yes, I know that achievements will be re-enabled if I restart the game.
Thank you so much for your answer. Repeatedly putting those two commands into the console (because he kept speaking, but kept walking away) allowed him to finish his speech, and allowed me to confront him afterwards. Mortimer is now an outcast, thanks to you.
You've solved my problem.

Not to dig up a dead thread, but I just had this happen during my 4th playthrough and found a way to fix it that worked for me for anyone having this issue still.

QUICKSAVE AT THE DOOR WHEN YOU ENTER THE DINING ROOM BEFORE DOING WHAT I DID

The autosave when you enter the dining room should start his speech, and if you're having this issue, he should begin to walk away while talking. I simply went back into the basement door behind the bar, waited one hour, and went back through the door into the dining room. When I entered he wasn't saying anything and I confronted him and it worked.

Here's where the quicksave comes in handy:

If this doesn't work, do everything I stated above but don't wait 1 hour in the basement, just go in the door, turn back around, and go through the door again. Then approach him for dialogue provided he isn't speaking.

I tried literally every and he still won't speak. The quest is completely broken and made worse by the fact that this game only allows a max of 3 saves. Yes, I'm necroing a post go sue me for all I care.
