Hello everyone hope you're having the most awesome day today welcome to the Film Insight channel
for today's video we're going to discuss some of the most successful rescues featured on 24
hours to hell and back so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the
content guys bella giannas starting with the very first episode of 24 hours to helen back
gordon Ramsay headed over to congress new york to rescue a failing restaurant called bella gianas
it would be an understatement to call this restaurant a mess since it not only had terrible
food but was run by a family with tons of issues for one it was originally opened up by frank vasti
with his wife theodora but after they split up she remarried to someone named frankie who later
became the business's co-owner after a while frankie unfortunately passed away so theodore's
son vinnie filled in his spot and became a co-owner this is when the one successful business
really went downhill since vinnie would ruin the atmosphere with his borderline bipolar outburst
at a moment's notice he'd be screaming at the staff about how much he hates his job without
any regard for the patrons mind you or cry about his tough position really the only reason why the
restaurant was still standing was due to frank's financial support but he was running dry on money
a lot of crazy stuff happened throughout this episode but most notably Ramsay and his cameraman
were so disgusted by the smell of the restaurant's kitchen that they started to gag other than the
restaurant's apparent filth the famous chef made vinnie the focal point of this rescue since he's
the only one who truly damaged the business in a surprising turn of events he actually gets him to
wake up and admit that things needed to change of course Ramsay completely revamped the restaurant
soon after giving it a better menu and improved dining room and high-tech equipment following the
rescue the restaurant was met with something that they had long been unfamiliar with being success
not only do customers actually love the restaurant and its food now but it seems like they're quite
packed on most nights impressively vinnie changed his ways and became a lot calmer on the job which
made the place more welcoming one reviewer on yelp pointed out that vinnie cares a lot more about his
patrons going as far as to run to the store to get lemonade for a kid who wanted someone they were
out hearing wonderful testimonials like this makes it a lot less surprising that they're ranked as
the number one italian restaurant in congress la cerenata four episodes later Gordon Ramsay headed
over to los angeles california to give la sarenata a second chance the owner aurora who's 75 years
old runs the place with her son marco senior who hired his son marco jr as a chef their business
originally opened up in 1994 but was so successful that they decided to branch out into two other
locations things were running pretty smoothly for the first two decades but things took a turn for
the worse when aurora's husband passed away from hard complications due to the overwhelming amount
of work that comes with running a restaurant the owner hired her son marco senior to become the
restaurant's manager unfortunately this would turn out to be a grave mistake since the two
would constantly butt heads while marco senior was interested in bringing the restaurant back
to the modern times his mother had other plans in mind she was extremely stubborn when it came to
change and didn't want to let anything go but you can't really blame the grieving woman as a result
of the frequent clashing the workplace had become a toxic environment which consequently made the
patrons feel very uncomfortable obviously due to the poor communication and teamwork the restaurant
barely made any money which forced aurora to shut down the other franchises barely able to keep the
original business afloat the owner decided to sell her house and live with her son and his family
considering the fact that she was in such a tough spot it's only natural that she sought help from
a pro like Ramsay it's an amazing feat that the famous chef was able to do anything about this
dumpster fire of a restaurant since there was so much wrong with it from waiters sweating into food
to produce rotting in the kitchen Ramsay had to even mend the family's dysfunctional relationship
thankfully after having a meaningful conversation with aurora marco and his son they were all on
the same page by the end of things marco senior seemed to genuinely want to step
things up and promised to support his mother and the restaurant in any way that he could
of course the family's heartfelt reconciliation could have just been for the cameras since marco
went back to his old ways and reverted most of Ramsay's efforts as frustrating as this may be
the restaurant is still open and thriving to this day which is baffling to us rocking four stars on
yelp across 500 plus reviews many seemed to praise them for their vegetarian vegan options regardless
of the fact that they practically wasted Ramsay's time it seems like they got something out of it
since they're still standing tall patrick malloys nearing the end of the first season gordon Ramsay
headed over to hermosa beach california to help patrick molloy's avoid permanent closure
much like the previous entry this restaurant was tangled up in a bunch of family drama which
made it very difficult for them to make money originally the place was owned by alice and her
late husband but his position was eventually given to their son patrick when alice got remarried to
a man named fred he would soon become the third co-owner of the restaurant which is when things
really started to go downhill if you really think about it losing a parent has to be one of the most
painful things one can experience but it can be even more hurtful to see that person be replaced
now take that experience and force the person who's grieving to work closely with the man who's
replacing their father and yeah it's pretty awful this more than unconventional partnership caused
tons of tension in the restaurant and has done nothing but fuel the business's downfall while
fred claims that patrick is lazy and unmotivated patrick flatto denies this and expresses that his
stepfather just doesn't respect him as an owner because he's young considering the fact that the
owners couldn't agree on anything the staff had no idea who to follow so they began to misbehave
being 135 000 in debts and months away from closing down the owners desperately reached
out to Ramsay for some guidance putting aside the fact that the restaurant's food was awful and that
the kitchen was filth incarnate that was truly the least of their problems the biggest issue was that
patrick and fred couldn't see eye to eye so Ramsay spent most of his time trying to make this happen
by the end of the episode he managed to convince the two to make a change and apologize to alice
for the tough position they put her in of course the famous chef also deep cleaned the building
gave the dining room a makeover and improved the menu it's quite unexpected but friday patrick
continued to keep things professional after Ramsay left which allowed for them to successfully revive
their failing restaurants since the episode aired they did make some changes to the decor
since they fold ramsay's design made the place look like a bar still open to this day patrick
molloy's has a decent three and a half stars on yelp with mixed reviews on the food and service
even if the food is a hit or miss customers seem to unanimously love the restaurant's happy hour
boardwalk 11. moving on to the second season gordon ramsay headed over to los angeles
california to bring boardwalk 11 back on its feet steven speer the owner of boardwalk opened up the
restaurant pub slash karaoke bar to follow in his father's footsteps who was a successful restaurant
owner opening other restaurants in the area as well spear quickly learned that he was nothing
like his father since almost all of his businesses failed considering the fact that boardwalk 11 was
the only restaurant he had left the owner devolved into someone who was controlling to an annoying
degree since he was terrified of failing yet again spirit would get in the way of his staff's
jobs and intended to take on every task in the restaurant as a result nothing really gets done
properly since there's only so much one person can do so the food is very inconsistent this is
very disappointing to cat the head chef who wants nothing more than to have control over her kitchen
but the owner gets in the way of that due to the lack of leadership the staff not only come into
work late but are so careless that they'll come in drunk or hungover fearful that he would lose
everything the owner called out to ramsay to turn things around which was a tall order hyperbole or
not the famous chef declared that the restaurant's food was probably some of the worst that he's ever
eaten additionally ramsay pointed out that he's never seen his staff so poorly behaved which
is why two people were fired by the end of the episode after seeing how disgusting and flawed
the restaurant was for himself spear admitted that the restaurant was on its last leg thanks to this
cat was given full control over the kitchen and another employee named cat was promoted to general
manager to take the load off of speer who was clearly stressed promising to stick to ramsay's
changes the owner also claimed that he would step back and let the staff do their job which is great
obviously he was lying since he reverted all of ramsay's work and even rehired the two
staff members that were fired changing the name to boardwalk 11 karaoke bar and grill the business is
still somehow open and rocks has solid 4 stars on yelp who would have thought this man would succeed
