      @@TheGuzdar not true at all, really. the fact of the matter is that Gordon can only do so much, at the end of the day you screw people over once, you've likely lost them for good, no matter what changes have taken place. there also comes the factor that most people call too little too late for change to truly save them. if Gordon's advice was worthless, then no restaurant would've survived at all, Gordon isnt Jesus, he's human as the rest of us.

    I worked in the restaurant business both front of house (host, server, bartender, floor manager) and back of house (line cook, sous chef, and prep cook) from 2002-2015. While I certainly don’t have the resume or experience of Gordan Ramsey and many others. I feel confident that I have a sensible way of analyzing how restaurants operate as I’ve been involved in both successful establishments (that are still open today) to dreadful establishments that NEEDED an experienced consultant such as Ramsay in the worst way possible.
    My takeaways from this video:
    • GREAT idea for creating this video! Much needed and desired (by me anyway). I’ve often tried looking up a few of these places and it just becomes too time consuming…I lose interest. ) Good on you to take the time and piece this all together. I KNOW this didn’t get produced in a day or two…this took TIME! Thank you.
    • Folks need to understand that Ramsay and other consultants are NOT magicians. If a restaurant is at the point of sending in a video to get on the show, it means they are basically on LIFE SUPPORT! The expectation should NOT be that most of these restaurants turn things around, stay open, and become successful. Sadly, most owners don’t like being told the truth. And when Ramsay or any consultant leaves typically what happens is things slowly slide back to the death state that preceded his visit. Just facts. One should be BLOWN AWAY by the few places that actually LISTENED AND WORKED ON THEMSELVES BOTH PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY and turned things around. For this action is nothing short of a miracle and should be applauded. I want you to understand this. I’m telling the truth here.

    00:40 - Bonapartes...Left homeless and in debt. Yup, I've seen that before. Not me, other restaurateurs.
    People think their granny's recipes will bring in a fortune. The truth is, running a restaurant is like wrestling an octopus...
    Underwater. So many factors to consider. Location, cleanliness, inventory, overhead, staff, quality, quantity, accounting, supply chain, timing...etc.
    Then the food starts to spoil if you bought too much. How many of these episodes of Kitchen Nightmares did we see, par cooking off portions, then freezing? There was that restaurant in Denver that comes to mind. Mangia! Mangia! had the worst staffing problems, an inexperienced manager/owner and they overcooked hundreds of portions of food.
    Total disaster.

      I think the success shows how smart Lisa actually is compared with most of the other owners, once she was given clear direction and goals. She was one of the youngest owners on the show, right out of school, with no experience in the business. It's crazy that so many of these other places are run by people who've been in the industry, yet let their restaurants end up in the state they're in.

    Great video, but I had kinda hoped you would include 24 Hours to Hell and Back with it, since it is the same concept as Kitchen Nightmares.
    I was at the final taping of that series in Ellicott City. I was in the "on air" crowd as he made all of his announcements. He lingered for a few moments, so I wandered up hoping to get a couple seconds of his time. I managed to say, "Thank you!" to him and shake his hand. A producer rushed him off before I could clarify that the "thank you" wasn't JUST for his work in Ellicott City, but for all of the inspiration he's been to me personally over the years.
    That episode was filmed just before the pandemic hit, and it was actually filmed over 4 days. Ellicott City still hasn't fully recovered from those two massive floods, and I don't think it ever will. So sad. My wife and I always enjoyed going down there a few times a year.

      It won't if you can't keep up after he's gone, but to be fair, if you can't pay the debt you're in you're not going to succeed. A 30% revenue increase is nice but that doesn't mean you'll be able to keep rising and get out of the red.

    the sandgate was one of my favourite episodes. if only for the fawlty towers references. bringing in a french matre d (basil fawlty would've been appalled!) least he didn't mention the war. imagine an argument between ramsey and basil; that would be hilarious.

    14:30 As a former Babylon town resident, I can tell you the Post Office Cafe is a marked improvement to what Brian's seemed on the show. It turned out Peter was a failed mobster when he was running Peter's.
    31:50 I frequented Classic American a lot when it was a better quality restaurant. It became Ala Turka Restaurant after Classic America closed but Ala Turka closed in 2018.
    With the high costs to run restaurants on Long Island, it's no surprise the Long Island restaurants shut down or changed hands a lot.

    I actually had lunch at Campania in New Jersey shortly after it was on Kitchen Nightmares and the meatball recipe Gordon taught them was incredibly good. Sadly the owner committed suicide a few months later and it closed.

  • @bruceygaming
    @bruceygaming 22 дня назад +1

    I can't remember which one it was, but there was another where Gordon was about to walk out, it was where he found a dead mouse and the owner's kept saying he and the production team planted it

    3:33 wasn’t expecting to see something on the Chelmsford high street… but it’s not called Saracens anymore: I believe they closed, then opened again in 2020 as The Garrison Tavern but I think it’s still got the old Saracen’s sign on it? Been a while since I’ve actually walked past it, so… just thought I’d add onto that!

    Watching this after recently being hooked on watching these and i think all or most ive seen have failed. Atp ill be surprised if any of these restaurants have survived. Omg almost half through the video got a restaurant that actually survived. Wow two in a row

    The narrator said it well: reality of the restaurant business. Many are out of business almost as fast as the next one springs up. And many fail, because the poor habits and lack of expertise existing before GR arrived often isn’t broken in a few days. Once the stress comes back and Gordon isn’t there to settle things, the old habits return.

    A few of these, even though they are now closed still lasted awhile. That’s an accomplishment in the restaurant industry. The Dr who also owned a restaurant, at least she has her medical practice and some highly intelligent accomplished people just can’t run a restaurant. That’s not failure, she’s a Dr.
    Those who are still open, good for them surviving near closure, a pandemic, and everything else. Those who sold for a good price, instead, also a good outcome really.

    • @tanikokishimoto1604
      @tanikokishimoto1604 Месяц назад

      Exactly... There were more successes if we count those who lasted many years after, even if they're now closed or sold. There was at least one couple who gave it a good run, but finally age encouraged them to retire. I consider that a true success.

    If I counted correctly, 18 restaurants are still open today, although I would count it as 17 since one has the same name and menu but different owners. That's a LOT more than I expected.

  • @leesmith7883
    @leesmith7883 Месяц назад

    the thing about most if not all of these restaraunts, you have to continually update your menu with what is the current trends, a lot dont do that, their menu sticks and they will not change them, if your menu isnt hitting, go around the town and see what is, then change your menu, the only places that get to keep old favs are the high end places that can charge ridiculous prices and even charge you for sitting at the table, but even they have to innovate and add new items while keeping old favs like beef welly.

    After watching this I realized season 8 has the highest success rate, probably due to owners already know if they don't change they will fail. Kudos those that survived till today.
