Fun fact: inspectors try to come during heavy service times, that way you can’t hide anything, you’re too busy, and they get to see you during a high stress situation, you can’t drop standards because of high stress.

The Smartest move some did, was to put the place back on the map, make it succesfull enough, to rise the value, and sell it to someone more competent.

He does the inspection during busy times for a few reasons.

This is so funny

As a point, restaurants actually have a fairly standard failure rate of about 90% within their first year of opening. I was a professional chef who went to Culinary School for the majority of my life, and worked at 5 Restaurants. Of those 5 all 5 are closed, and 4 of the 5 closed within a year of opening. The 5th was open for about 10 years, but unfortunately even successful restaurants operate on such slim margins of profit that it's often near to impossible to remain profitable as an independent restaurant. For context, when designing menus, it's typically the understood math that the food cost of your dish should be between 21-28% of the dish's price on the menu, while labour will tend to be somewhere around 26-32%. Then once you factor in the operating costs of the restaurant for things like gas and electric, usually sitting at around another 20%, you're at best operating on a 33% profit margin, and that's in the absolute best case scenario. Most of the time, you're more realistically going be operating at around a 12-20% profit margin per dish, if you are INCREDIBLY lucky when accounting for refires, food waste and such. Alcohol sales can of course mitigate some of that, but ultimately while you'll hear a lot of people say alcohol is where restaurants make their money, it's honestly not the case. Even for restaurants, buying alcohol is expensive, and while the markup on alcohol tends to be a lot higher, typically around 60% per bottle, not every customer is going to buy alcohol. Every customer is going to buy food. The final restaurant I worked at that was the one that had been open for 10 years, we operated with an expected weekly gross budget of around 12,000 dollars a week, and in order to maintain any profit for the restaurant we typically needed to make around 15,000 a week. We were in fact, typically running around 13.8-14.2 thousand a week, with the occasional good week pulling us out of being right on the edge of failure. This was a restaurant that was actually considered fairly successful with a lot of accolades in the city news, review sites, and we even pulled in a few celebrity customers like Roger Federer when he'd be visiting for the ATP tennis tournament. So even with Gordon's failure rate being about 80%, that's actually still a significant improvement over the typical failure rate of restaurants, especially given every restaurant on his show is starting from the point of already being in the hole.

Considering these episodes were filmed in, what, 2007 at the earliest? And several restaurants in the show specifically cite Hurricane Katrina and the housing crisis as a reason why they had to relocate to begin with? A closure rating of 80% can't just be associated with the normal overhead costs of running a restaurant, it could also just be events outside of anyone's control.

It feels like the producers are finally allowing the US audience to see more of Gordon's compassionate side in this new season. In Ep 3, he pulls that line cook out of the kitchen who was suffering from exhaustion (21 consecutive days without break) and was showing early signs of heat stroke from working the grill. In Ep 4, he takes the 22 yo son for private lessons with an expert in his field. He's still firm with everyone who he needs to be firm with, but he's also tender when he acknowledges people who are passionate and trying their best, but were never given the tools to succeed (proper training, fresh ingredients, proper leadership, etc.)

The drama as cited by Gordon is because the Americans were more loudly and openly confrontational as opposed to their British counterparts who express opposition in a more quiet snide way, like calling Gordon a pillock behind his back.

Being a gangster is like being in charge: if you have to tell everyone you are, you aren't.

I love Kitchen Nightmares 2023. It’s everything everyone loves about the original but elevated. I like how they are showing more of the empathetic moments this time around too to show that Gordon isn’t just a guy that likes yelling. Also watching him yell at people and these delusional people yell back in 4k/1080p instead of like 360p IS EVERYTHING.

Nah, with the bit rates of modern streaming services we're still basically watching these shows in 720p so it's still authentic to the original show in that aspect aswell lol

If Gordon Ramsay ever yelled at me, I'd cry, not out of fear but out of the knowledge that I truly have fucked up. Learning about his backstory made me lose the fear factor.

It's cuz he actually gives a shit about people. Knowing his childhood kind of puts a new perspective on why he tries so hard to help people I think. Also on British TV he's far less aggressive. I think at this point we've all kind of accepted Gordon as being a real cool guy who plays up the "mean" persona when he's in America cuz that's what Americans eat up. Everywhere I see him on British TV he's a real chill dude who still swears like a sailor but he's a lot nicer. Also I love seeing his KZread cooking videos with his kids you can see how much he loves spending time with them and doing things together.

The staff getting to play messenger is honestly the highlight of the show for me. When they are enjoying it and not crying.

gotta be real if I saw gordon ramsey (and a film crew) walking around a restaurant I was at asking people about their meals, the way I would immediately understand that I would get food poisoning if I ate anything

I like how "shutting the restaurant down" something Gordon did only a small handful of restaurants in the original US show has become part of the episode formula.

Probably because of bar rescue 'shut it the hell down' is literally one of John Taffer's catchphrases at this point

Everyone always focuses on that 80% failure rate. It doesn't matter if Gordan gives them a new interior design and gives them a crash course in how to run a restaurant doesn't mean shit when you're in debt 100-500k. They also picked the worst/dirtiest restaurants with the worst owners because that makes for good TV. If Gordan went to a nice small restaurants that was ran by competent owners that just needed some guidance from Ramsey, yeah the success rate would be much higher but it wouldn't make for good TV

yeah its not really fair to look at it as "oh he only has a 20% success rate" He's not running the restaurant _for_ them, he steps in, helps out a bit, offers some advice and then leaves them to their own devices. And as she pointed out, probably 100% of them would have failed without intervention of some kind, so its less that "80% failed" and more like "20% were saved". Statistics can be really misleading and its never good to just take them at their face but rather to think about the context and surrounding factors. Honestly I almost feel like statistics and scientific literacy should be required classes in high school. We gotta get people to think more in depth about statistics.

Rate would still be similar, maybe a bit higher towards success but keeping a restaurant running is pretty fucking hard. Lots of places don't make it past their first five years, more don't even make it past the first year.

He has gone to good ones. That Creole restaurant where he basically licked the plate clean because the food was so good sticks out to me. His main critiques were presentation, management keeping finances in check, and making sure the decor wasn't moldy. They succeeded.

Honestly Gordon checking the kitchen in the middle of a dinner rush kinda makes sense to me! You'd want to see how they perform under intense stress, so the things that they do at their highest stress levels kinda reflects what they'd be willing to allow / do normally, ya know? Like if it wouldn't be acceptable to store cooked chicken next to uncooked chicken any other time, why would a kitchen think its okay to do during a dinner rush. It's still the same chance for cross-contamination

I have no idea how gordon hasn't contracted some unknown disease from going in to all of those disgusting kitchens

gordon literally crushed that man's entire career with one handshake.

Considering 80% of restaurants fail within 5 years of operation, the 20% survival rate is not just "pretty good" it's downright impressive.

2:59 isn't that because he looked old when he was young?

> "So close in proximity to sniffing the leftovers of Gordon's scent" I don't think he is just 'your favourite chef'. We need to have a talk about this, miss.

I think the reason such a high percentage of the places close after the show is simply that they are already so underwater that it’s often far to late to save them. The dinner service, is like Bar Rescue’s stress test, as they are both set up to fail, and to do so dramatically. I mean the places aren’t used to busy services, but they let in the entire crowd at one time, and often they’re short staffed as they have had so little business.

It's definitely for the show. Everything they do is to create drama for the show. They aren't the restaurant's friends.

12:38 - I think that outside of the drama reasons, Gordon is checking the kitchen during a big rush because that's when it's the hardest for personnel to hide something.

I've never hated anyone on this show, original or reboot, more than those two.

It’s a good day when Gordon has already swore more times then i can count in the first 30 seconds

I will say, I live by one of the restaurants that Gordon helped (Leone's). And the food quality improved so much after he visited, it was like a completely new restaurant. They're always so busy and I've never had a bad meal there.

Both of my sisters worked at a restaurant at a golf course. Owner was never there, manager stole tips, and the food was outrageous. Especially for the taste. My sisters and the other waitresses staged a walk-out.

The editing of the new season is way better, with more Gordon narrating like he was in the UK version, mixed with the "dramatic" elements that the US version had, really the best of both worlds and I'm loving this new season more than anything.

12:45 they definitely orchestrate the inspection scene so as to increase drama, but it also allows them to interrogate the kitchen staff without them being able to weasel out of it since they're already under the stress of dinner service.

this is a stupid nitpick, but it makes sense for him to check for food safety stuff during service as that's when there's the least amount of time to do things the correct way and it lets him know of the kitchen's habits. If you're not willing to put chicken away correctly during service when it's been slow every day, nobody cares if you clean at the end of the day, you've already contaminated your whole station and everything on it.

As a line cook i can say this is kind of a comfort show for me, in regards to the fact it can always be worse

It's incredible that the culinary gangster didn't even get fired, he just immediately bounced the instant he got called out.

2:35 you know it's bad when a Cameraman has to film another Cameraman dying.

Hello from the future! Yes, they basically shut down all but like 2 of the kitchens in this season which made it lose its luster. Also there were actual tiktokers and the episode where Gordon strongarms a guy into going to therapy just so he can loom over him while a whole camera crew films this poor dude's intake appointment was so unsettling my wife and I also dropped the season midway through it. Gordon also really likes using the word toxic in this season too; *everything is now "toxic".

the qr codes thing is actually pretty common post covid, for sanitation reasons, to save on printing costs, and to make it easier to update the menu. Of course, it has to work to do that. And most restaurants will still keep a couple old menus around if someone doesn't have a smartphone

The waitress really called him 'Bobby Unfortunato' to his face. Everyone there hated that dude lmao 😆 'culinary gangsta' hahahahaha

10:06 it doesn’t take Gordon Ramsay to tell if sauce is processed. Any idiot can tell if “homemade” cheese sauce is actually fuckin nacho cheese

Culinary gangster literally couldn't handle the heat and left the kitchen. That is the power of Ramsay's handshake.

The episode with the cafe in NY that had like 450 items on the menu cracked me up. Everyone knows the more stuff on the menu the higher the chance you will get something that is frozen and heated in a microwave.

IDK how some of these people can tell Gordon that everything is fine; when the fact that he is even there proves them wrong... It's lowkey embareassing😅😅😅

In Brazil we have our own version of this show, is so funny! A lot of memes, the cooker is a french man that no one understands what he says, rlly funny

My dad was an executive chef and I've practically grown up in this environment. It's either like a well-oiled machine with the staff being practically family because of great trust, leadership and competence (my dad's kitchen) or absolute shitshows in others. The toxic environments I witnessed when he had jobs at other restaurants or hotels, my god! Even with my positive experiences and passion for food he encouraged me not to be in this industry and practice my love for food at home instead.

His best line in the new show so far was from episode 1: "Look at it, it's foaming at the mouth! And it's already dead!" I had to pause and laugh for 5 minutes straight.

03:19 Holy shit, I live 10 minutes away from this place and I never heard about it at all, small world lol

These restaurants close because when Gordon comes to them they are already in debt and only have like 2 months left until they go bankrupt. He turns them around in hopes they can sustain it, but most can’t because they aren’t suitable to run a restaurant

"I mix it with Cheez Wiz." Bro.....I mix my cheese sauce with flour and butter and cream at home, and I'm living off disability. What the flying fuck is this $100k a year shit for Cheez Wiz?

9:40 her gleeful smile after she delivers that “unfortunato” line was televised gold. 😂😂😂

The UK version was the best! It felt far more real and you legitimately didn't know what was going to happen. The US version was pretty good but it felt more and more theatrical and dramatized as it went on. Every episode of the reboot seems to follow the same blueprint with them debt disclosure meetings with some crying, bad service, failed food storage check with slimy chicken, then shutting down so they can renovate . I still love every second lol

5:29 laughed so hard at this I subscribed 😂

Also fair to mention that of those 80% that closed, ALL of them reverted to the bad practises that Gordon corrected once he left

The UK version is nice because it isn't highly dramatized and actually seems like he's helping

I worked at a country club for a while. I don't know their situation on the show, but the kitchen was sort of subsidized by member dues. It didn't matter when we weren't busy, because they were paying anyway. This model also meant we had to put up with a higher amount of bullshit than a regular restaurant. People showing up an hour after we closed and demanding a steak, people wandering back into the kitchen to directly harass cooks, or help themselves to food. Getting grabby with servers. The sort of thing that would get you 86'd at a normal bar or restaurant, we just had to smile and put up with it. Like 75% of the members were retired lawyers and other entitled assholes, many of which were senile. One old guy drove his car into the side of the building, pretended it didn't happen, no one said a word, then he did it again like a month later. It was not a job I remember fondly. Oh yeah, the point is that a country club (unless they are losing members) will almost always be fully staffed, even if business is slow, because the members already paid just to be members.

The KN dramatic violin sound effect during the ad break gives me life

For anyone that doesn't understand the stats in the beginning. That's normal. Most businesses will fail, but it's more so for restaurants so that's normal. With that in mind, 20% opening still is a really good stat

The restaurants closing isn't surprising. That business is extremely unstable and restaurants close extremely often and usually very quickly after they've been founded.

My friends: are you doing okay, there's alot going on and you seem overwhelmed Me: 4:22

One of my favorite parts of this show is how Big G is with the wait staff. He's always patient and understanding.

80% is the average rate of resturants closing so it pretty much just follows the same path as if he didn't intervene. Though I'd reckon 100% of them where in the 80% so he most likely saved a couple.

I never leave the lid off of my food because I’ll never forget when he scolded a chef for that 😅 “ Are you not concerned that you’re letting all of the flavor evaporate into thin air” 😭
