I think it's a selection bias for the US version since the more rundown an establishment is, the more entertaining(excluding Amy's of course). Watching the UK version, they pick restaurants a lot more carefully. There's really never a triple combo of the building, owners, & chefs being rundown. There's some semblance of business management going on. You can tell simply between the two versions by the amount Gordon needs to flip his lid. Still I can't deny the entertainment value of the US version.

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. 😅

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.

Those that got shafted by the pandemic, even after being saved by Gordon, have a valid excuse. Can't say the same for those that got shafted before the pandemic and didn't even heed Gordon's advice. But for those that heeded Gordon's advice, turned everything around, and got shafted even before the pandemic? These restos I feel genuinely bad for, more so than those shafted by the pandemic.

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.

Yep many have been accruing more debt per month for decades (plus interest) than is possible to make per month in profit after turning around, so no matter what they can't survive after that as the owners and sometimes stakeholders who care won't even be alive by the end of that idealised timeline.

@@Bozebo Exactly. A lot of them let the balance sheet get far too dire and some owners have even already taken out loans against their houses. Gotta be able to spot trouble from a lot further away than that.

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

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.

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’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 😂

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.

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.
