Did Gordon REALLY Save These Places? | Kitchen Nightmares | Gordon Ramsay 

Some got saved ,some didn't. Some people just can't be saved.

Ramsay should visit the ones still open

"we did exactly what Gordon told us to do but we still failed" Literally never heard that once

Handlebar - Closed 2009 shortly after the revisit episode aired. Billy, the owner, died from cancer in 2015. Casa Roma - Closed July 1st, 2017, after various name changes and menu changes Nylah still owned it even with the name changes. The Black Pearl - Closed 4 days after the episode aired in September 2008 and well you can probably guess the cause there. 😅

I think what's more impressive with Gordon than how improves the restaurant, is the way he can actually make someone a better person. He's great at breaking people down and building them back up again. What a top bloke 👍

Some places goes under bcs: 1. Bad owner/management 2. They arent clicked to each others 3. They afraid of change 4. They have piling debts anyway 5. The owner didnt have clear goal and have great palate to begin with to open any restaurant. Many has one or combined of all of those points. Not every restaurant can be saved even by Gordon Ramsay.

38:38 "so like the pulled pork, huh?" from Ramsay, I'M DEAAAADDD 💀😭😭😭😂😂😭 also Steven is so awesome wish we could have a show dedicated just to him!! Good luck to him whereever he is now

Gordon doesn’t ever guarantee the restaurants themselves will survive. He does however say that you will be a more effective, profitable, and quality restaurant if you follow his guides. It’s not a guarantee it’s just a guideline.

I think people need to also understand that some of these places did change their ways and improve their restaurant. The problem is that they were eventually constrained by factors they couldn’t control. While ramsay helps them improve their restaurant to a good state, the activity these restaurants get when Ramsay’s around vs when he isn’t is drastic. This paired with the fact that when they call ramsay they’re already under serious financial pressure, and an already long lasting poor reputation, and most of these restaurants shut down anyway. The ones that have stayed open are simply just lucky, since they somehow manage to navigate through both their reputation and their finances. But this luck is relatively rare.

It's important to consider that by the time things get bad enough to call Chef Ramsay for help, the problem may already be too large/ingrained for his improvements to do more than slow down the inevitable decline. Probably nothing could have saved Amy's Baking Company for example.

If I’m honest, watching Gordon Ramsay beat owners even stubborn ones to the point of recognition in there errors made me realize I should look into my errors and have become a person who is honorable in others eyes. I appreciate everything about his videos Because it made me see my wrongdoings in regular life, familial, and professional

She was so drunk at the bar. LOL "I dunnnnnnnooo waaaaht todew."

What I like about Gordon Ramsay is that when food is terrible he tell you the truth and when food is good he says "delicious "😋😁🌟🔥

I've said it before, I'll say it again: The british editing is so much better 😂

I love Stevens energy , glad he's now doing well in film industry.

I could only dream of having the opportunity to own and operate a restaurant and seeing what some of these restaurant owners and staff have done to their opportunities is heartbreaking. They've gone thru a lot and most of it can be prevented. But I wish them all the best. Gordon does seem to put his heart and his years and years skill set 100% into trying to help them. That is something many could only pray for in hopes of getting someone to help them.

i love Gordon talking to the kid from the Black Pearl, Gordon mentioned how honest he was the first time around i dont know why he was really too suprised at his honest answer to his question about dating haha

A lot of people are under the impression that the restaurant business is glamorous, when in reality it's anything but. A lot (if not most) of the proprietors in the failing restaurants that Gordon visited had absolutely no prior experience in food service. They just wanted to "live the dream."

I'm surprised The Handlebar survived after the show. Billy did NOT deserve it

IF THE OWNERS+ STAFF OF BLACK PEARL HAD LISTENED TO GORDON THEY WOULDN"T HAVE "DROWNED".

its crazy that this shit was almost 20 years ago. Even crazier that all of these restaurants are closed now.

People’s childhood trauma with their dad get triggered when Gordon walks in with the verbal weaponry facts

I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for decades. It is an inherently stressful job. I used to have self imposed stress regarding waiting on the public. I had to systematically divest myself of it. Had to stop fretting over gratuities. Don’t take things so seriously. It’s just food fgs! Thankfully I didn’t have the stress of working for a restaurant with lousy food. Cuz I wouldn’t wanna be taking stuff back bc it’s shit. Customers generally won’t complain directly to the management. They just don’t come back. And that bad word of mouth will be spread farther than any accolades could. These owners are far too angry. Gonna tear Ramsay’s head off or beat him with a baseball bat? That attitude permeates the entire crew and service. People go to restaurants to relax and enjoy NOT cooking. Now add owners arguing loudly in the kitchen? Oh but no. Now add crap cuisine? Oh goodbye.

I need Chef Ramsay to put me on a diet , and give me his motivation! He’s GREAT ! I just adore him! All his ideas are so smart , it baffles me that these owners revert back to what sunk them in the first place. The ones that are still viable 2024, kept whatever he advised and did ! Case in point, Chester Hotel , Oceana Grill, The Walnut Tree and about 25 others, not to mention his NINETY restaurants. So, who would I listen to ??? But , why do these owners wait till they are circling the drain!??? Did I mention I ADORE HIM??

Steven is so funny I aspire to be like him

Chef Ramsay has saved the restaurants in a year

He tried and many pretended to listen. Unfortunately, they thought they knew better than chef Ramsay 👍

Their biggest problem was the mountain of debt they had before Chef Ramsay got there. You can pull the pan out of the fire, but if the food's already burnt, it can't be served.

The Casa Roma restaurant and staff brightened up after they fired the bad cook.

You know what would be cool, Ramsay visiting successful and liked contestants of hell's kitchen, sorta like a follow up

Some of these spots were fixed up to sell bc they'd already deci 18:29 ded to sell before they were on the show. I still love watching him though😊 Great job gastro pub!

Short answer: No. But here's the thing. Restaurants go out of business all the time, Gordon did his best to give them every chance to succeed and that's really all he could do. in the end, at least he made some good content.

I'd like to know, Dont These places get a Health Inspector come visit every 6 months? I work in a Restaurant in Canada. And we get a visit to say if we Pass or Not

Lol, the last place. Lol lol that conversation got awkward really fast! Lol, Gordon, don’t share ur food with young men anymore. At least don’t let them share ur actual meal cause u invited him to a private lunch and shared it pork w him… lol, the look on Gordy’s face was priceless how they went from Gordy’s pork to him not getting boinked. lol lol 😂

Some of these episodes from Kitchen Nightmares must have been recorded in 2006, etc. I would love to see in 2024 an episode of Gordon visiting some of the restaurants that are still open (if any). That would be awesome!

I think he has there best interests at heart

he’s really come a long way

Is Gordon Ramsay the Messiah?

Awesome Video Gordon 😄😄

Spin a Yarn is still open. Hopefully will visit this year.

we need a part 2 of did Gordon save these places.

I like how shit is censored but the fuck went straight by 😄

Can you tag the video with timelines so we can skip between the good bits more easily? :)

Being on not 1 but 2 kitchen nightmares.... strong work 💪

The one in my city...Lancaster, i googled mapped to see the picture of the restaurant and it got turned into a banquet hall called Garibaldi's!!

Billy died of cancer a year or so after this

As usual you will always surprise us 😁

Nylah was such a lovely person. She deserved all the good things ❤️

Ol' Grumpy didn't want to play. He wanted to be a contrarian.

Savage... when Gordon says you are in the running for the worst chef in the country... that has to burn....

Pride and ego got him

I think he just bring the necesary to boost the restaurans the rest depends of the owners to keep the bussines going and keep them on the better standars to make them work

Drew was Eric Jr. And poor Nyla. One loser after the other after the other. Her son was a loser too. Then Nyla met the perfect worker complementary to her. He had one of Gordon's fixups and then another of Gordon's fixups.

Steven is an icon and we love it

Caroline been drunk since day 1 😂

Did y'all not see him deep fry grilled cheese!!!...

Thank god he posted this hahahaha ....

Need more of ths

What type of man’s absence from his own restaurants cause him to lose Michelin stars to help people ? Now that’s something special right there.

I'm still watching the Amy episode from Scottsdale AZ. No way could that be saved.

the handlebar is closed 2024

Gordon thought the fondue tasted like dog food. NO IT DOESN'T, Gordon. We feed dogs better than we fed you.

Steak Diane was named for my first cousin twice removed.

This show makes me not want to eat at a restaurant anymore ickch

I hope the handlebar succeeds bigly.

I really hope Gordon since learned what is a fondue bourguignonne. For his defense though it should be served with good handmade sauces like bourguignonne, tartare or béarnaise, not a crappy industrial ketchup

Gastro pub 🍻 😂 haha

22:20 that’s what my avocados look like

ngl, a martini marinated filet sounds pretty darn good.

10 minutes of retelling a story we all already watched is a great way for me not to care about how they did ✌️

Melissa got bigger from the new menu lol

Billy passed away from cancer at November 2015. RIP

I went from employee to a manager then up to regional manager and was fixing all kinds of issues with so many of the restaurants I was working for and the owner lost his mind and argued with me on an operation upgrade issue that I found. it turned out the owner was trying to bypass the IRS and as I was fixing the issue with the company "yeah I am being vague on the matter" the company took all 5 of his stores after they found out he let me go because I was fixing the issues in question. I don't know the details but the IRS took the rest they wanted. He should have just left me fix all the issues that I found with the operations. He would not have ended up in jail for a few years for tax evasion and still own his 5 stores.

Not surprised the owner sold the lobster claw machine that was kind of out there

Kaput finished 😂😂

Anyone notice how physical Gordon Ramsay is with Steven in the last one? He kinda treats him like that one gay friend lmaoo

Doesn’t help that season 1 was from before the 2008 recession. That closed a lot of restaurants that might have otherwise lasted a while longer

Cheif Ramsey said, "Gordtee"😂😂😂😂😂😂hell naw

The owner wasn't just bad at anything, they just not good with everything

3 days ago??? I just saw the guy with a wireless phone from 1990, haircuts from the 80's

Omg that last one is like response for so many people to loose the job that is so unhuman acting

Steven, wow is he honest.

Wow, I never knew cross-over

Steven is handsome, and I wish him the very best!❤

Less than 20% are still in business. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot stop him from making the water muddy.

Awww steven!! 😍😍😍💜 he is soooo dreamy..😍😍😍

Gordon says he did over 100 episodes. I wonder how 🤔 many weren't aired?

Most of the problem in these problem restaurants is ego

I will to recommend to go to tahinis aur Shelby's restaurant, please

The handle bar still looks old 🥴

Nice

you cant help everyone..

It’s crazy, that dude David acted the way he did, went and sold that Lobster 🦞 Claw Game. Ya know, I bet Gordon researched and had that Designed and Built. Buy an Aquarium builder AND claw game builder. Think Ahead and make stuff happen. When you have extra cash, people seem to answer there phones and Work for it. He should have had a FEW of those built. For serious business operators

Jesus, Hand,bear owners before Chef , both of them looked like death warmed over, after Chef and all improvements, they have sparkle in their eyes, look so happy and even have out on weight. So happy for them , till I heard Billy died. So very very sorry . But at least his restaurant turned around , .

In Waukegan puerto Nayarit Mexican food

WHO TF IS CUTTING ONIONS

learn from the best

🔥

U don't disrespect someone who is in far higher level than u

Day 7 of asking for a recipe/substitution without gluten (only using coconut flour because that's the only type of flour I can personally have), no sugar, no starch, no dairy, no nuts/grains, and no eggs. It sucks not being able to eat normal things and I'm hoping that someone has some sort of solution so I can eat baked things again ^^ Note: If the creator wants me to stop then I 100% will!!
