hello everyone i hope you're having the most wonderful day today welcome to the Film Insight
channel for today's video we're going to discuss some more restaurants featured on 24 Hours to Hell
and Back and reveal if they're still open so sit back relax and without further ado
let's get right into the content guys la serena run by the rodriguez family la saranata is owned
by aurora managed by her son marco senior and the food is cooked by his son marco jr being located
in a hot spot close to a number of movie studios it'd be nothing but expected for there to be a lot
of customers flowing in however it is quite the opposite since a lot of problems have sprouted
since the business came to be like how marco's father who owned several successful restaurants
tragically passed away which forced them to sell two of his businesses as well as aurora's house
since they were unable to keep up with things in his absence due to the grief pain and disorder
aurora and marco senior seemed to argue constantly which drove customers away it was only a matter
of time before la serenada would have to close down so they desperately reached out to Gordon
Ramsay for some help arriving at the restaurant disguised as a french tourist with some decoy
friends at his side he's unimpressed with the grim decor ordering staple mexican dishes not only does
it come back tasting disgusting but their server is sweating so much that it drips into their food
nasty having seen enough Ramsay takes off his disguise and demands to meet with the
staff so he can show them the appalling hidden footage he captured of the kitchen
they not only get the chance to see on video how toxic marco and aurora are to each other but how
the kitchen was serving spoiled food had tons of expired produce and was cross-contaminating
collectively the staff seems to blame all the problems on aurora marcos senior and junior
which prompts chef ramsay to give them a talk after somewhat resolving the tensions between
the family members ramsay makes some valuable changes to the decor menu and kitchen several
months later after the show aired it seemed like the restaurant returned to its old ways reversing
the menu chef ramsay proposed the restaurant is still up and running somehow with a solid 4 stars
on yelp many praising the good food but others complaining about having a bad customer experience
the old coffee pot located in the busy french quarter the old coffee pot seems to still struggle
to pull customers through the door purchased by a man named dustin who previously worked there
as a chef the restaurant was frequently busy and was regarded as one of the best breakfast joints
once being a family-owned business that dynamic broke down and dustin was left with becoming a
full-time caretaker for all the children on top of this the staff hold little respect for their
boss and misbehave at any chance that he's absent through all this chaos dustin really needed the
help of someone accomplished like gordon ramsay so he called him over setting up hidden cameras
all over the restaurant ramsay soon arrives disguised with a troop of musicians he orders
a range of new orleans classic dishes which come back contaminated old and burnt throughout
the service the staff are visibly misbehaving and are ignoring patrons looking to eat a meal
angry at all this incompetence ramsay takes off his disguise introduces himself to the staff and
forces them to close down the restaurant showing them the hidden footage as usual it reveals how
there are rats grime and dirt all over the restaurant which discuss everyone watching
what's worse upon further inspection of the kitchen chef ramsay finds rented coffee pots
and a mouse corpse inside a toaster following the intervention of an exterminator ramsay makes
some changes to the menu and gives the restaurant better equipment and a more fitting decor months
after the episode aired customers were loving the new menu and business seemed to be increasing
while there were a lot of positive reviews on yelp with three and a half stars most of the complaints
were about the service admittedly the owner wasn't happy with some of the changes so they decided
to add some of the old dishes back although in the end the old coffee pot's business began to
decline and it finally closed down in february of 2019. sherman's restaurant alison and peter nimrod
yes that's their actual last name purchased german's restaurant back in 2012 hoping to cash
in on a success however while the restaurant did have an existing customer base it began to decline
and their costs were increasing the biggest reason is that their customers were complaining
about the food but are completely disregarded by the owners not knowing how to even start fixing
this big mess they brought themselves into they call for gordon ramsay's help in this episode
chef ramsay arrives disguised as a farmer with a group of local farmers at his side instantly the
undercover chef remarks that the decor is drab and that the restaurant smells awful after ordering a
selection of staple southern dishes they all come back overcooked foul and smelly hilariously ramsay
comments that the catch of the day is hepatitis b then reveals himself to the staff and forces them
to shut things down bringing the staff to the hells on wheels truck ramsay plays some of the
hidden footage he captured not only is the kitchen absolutely disgusting they reuse any ranch that
isn't touched have cockroaches crawling around and are shown breaking multiple health cold violations
to make matters worse ramsay inspects their kitchen only to find a sink filled with oysters
and fish and a cooler pack with old food including rotting chicken meat this very meat was used for
the meal that was served to ramsey and his friends which is stomach turning following making some
changes to the menu cutting out a useless employee and revamping the kitchen and general decor
things were finally starting to look good for sherman's thankfully we do have some good news
in regards to this restaurant since it's still up and running to this day rocking a solid 4 stars on
yelp many seem to praise the food and atmosphere but the biggest complaint is about the prices
sadly several locals are unwilling to return to the new and improved restaurant due to previous
experiences though we recommend at least giving it a try bayou on the vine only having been open
for a year bayou on the vine is a struggling restaurant owned by chuck and urtha despite
being located in a prime location where many pass by they are on the verge of closing down since the
restaurant isn't making any money the owners are forced into supporting it with their own money
due to the mounting pressure that came with the expenses chuck and urtha were close to getting
divorced needing any help they can get they call out to the legendary chef ramsay in hopes that he
can turn things around arriving in a softball uniform alongside a local softball team ramsay
is unimpressed from the get-go the restaurant's windows are oddly tinted and the room is filled
with ugly and cheap mardi gras decor attempting to order some staple cajun dishes everything
comes back horribly overcooked and tasting rancid ramsay asks the entire restaurant to stop eating
their food and reveals his identity to the staff getting them to close the restaurant for the day
bringing everyone to his truck outside he reveals hidden footage that shows filth in the kitchen
including cockroaches and puts on display to cook sharika's frequent outbursts sharika reacts poorly
to the footage claiming that there were never roaches in the kitchen despite there being clear
evidence of the fact after some discussion ramsay was able to win sharika over which allowed him to
finally make some changes the restaurant received a new modern design a menu with delicious dishes
and tons of equipment for the kitchen receiving three and a half stars on yelp the restaurant was
doing pretty well for the first few months however things seemingly went downhill with the food and
service quality often being complained about and ultimately they closed down in june of 2020.
family-run italian restaurant bella gianas is currently owned by vinnie vasti and dori
vasti barbato aka theodora once being successful after vinnie took over the business began to fall
apart along with his family relationships barely making any money things got even worse when the
co-owner frankie passed away several years ago what's worse is that vinnie has two changeable
moves with one being furious anger and the other being deep sorrow which the staff has to endure
being in a depot of problems they call over chef ramsay who visits disguised as an elderly man
he's quite unimpressed with the decor which is tacky depressing and makes anyone who enters
feel unwelcome ordering a variety of dishes when everything comes back it tastes old rubbery and
overall very bad sending back is terrible food the chef named lou argues with vinnie and expresses
that he doesn't see a problem with the dishes absolutely horrified by his experience ramsay
takes off his disguise and reveals himself to the staff and an argument breaks out between
vinnie and the famous chef after things cool down he brings the entire restaurant outside
to show them his shocking undercover footage they have food that's rotting in the kitchen
and have black mold building on the inside of their walk-in fridge when ramsay inspects the
kitchen even further there's something that smells foul and that makes both him and his cameraman gag
after a lot of cleaning better decor and new furniture things were going in the right direction
though today the restaurant is still open with a solid 4 star review on yelp well that will be all
