hello everyone 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
of the worst restaurants featured on kitchen nightmares and reveal what they're doing now
so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys manja manja
for a season seven episode Gordon Ramsay heads over to manchester in woodland park colorado to
rescue it from closure owned by julie watson a former realtor she jumped on the opportunity to
buy the building of a fast food joint hoping to fulfill her dream of owning a restaurant
she'd quickly come to realize that she's terrible at running one and takes out her frustrations on
the staff this is especially true for her head chef trevor who she likes to control
unfortunately trevor is also a liability to the business since he throws fits messes up orders on
purpose despite his boss and locks out mid-service all things considered manja manja was going to
need professional help if it hoped to survive so the owner reached out to Ramsay for some aid upon
his eventual arrival the famous chef is perplexed to see that the restaurant has a drive through
despite having a fine dining theme heading in to sample the food Ramsay orders the soup of the
day which not only takes long to get to his table but is served in a styrofoam bowl without a spoon
soon after his awful meal the kitchen nightmare's host meets with the owner and tells her that his
soup was dreadful Ramsay also points out that there's nothing italian about a restaurant
which is decorated with weird frilly curtains fake flowers and christmas lights through some
further discussion with watson Ramsay's revealed that the head chef has no formal training and has
only kept his position due to how hard it is to find a replacement later on Ramsay attempts to try
more of the food to see if their chef is competent at anything but is only met with meals that are
either store-bought poorly cooked or uninspired meeting with the staff to get their feedback
they admit that they haven't been trained and expose the fact that all of their food is frozen
the owner goes into complete denial mode hearing this expressing that her food is fresh and tasty
yeah right leaving and returning the following day for the dinner service Ramsay scans the
kitchen starting with the walk-in freezer and finds tons of containers filled with pesto
additionally he notices that they microwave meals several times with different ingredients
which results in terribly tough food to make matters even worse the cooks are careless
about what they touch holding raw chicken at one moment and vegetables at the next which leads to
cross-contamination embarrassed with the state of her restaurant the owner rushes outside and has a
mental breakdown but Ramsay manages to calm her down after the horrible service Ramsay gathers
the staff once again hoping to get everyone on the same page before making any renovations
however things only get worse when watson reveals that trevor often comes to work high
is violent and scares away customers thankfully the owner decides to finally sack this awful man
and Ramsay helps them find an interim chef called don to fill the void spending longer than usual on
the renovations Ramsay and his team revamped the restaurant over the course of 24 hours
revealing the changes to the staff they're impressed with the bright and classy interior
and think that the new food is exquisite compared to their old selection post kitchen nightmares the
restaurant receives mostly positive reviews on yelp and tripadvisor for the food and service
while they did keep most of Ramsay's changes they ended up re-adding some old menu items to please
their regulars don parted ways with the business soon after the kitchen nightmares host left but it
pushed watson to hire a new chef ultimately though the restaurant closed down in november of 2014.
on the bright side trevor went to rehab and seemingly claimed his life back from addiction
and we're really glad katiallo in yet another season seven episode gordon Ramsay decides to
visit katialo in queens new york to bring it back on its feet purchased by manny and christina in
2000 manny decided to buy it on a whim when it was up for sale without consulting with his wife first
to make the situation even worse neither of them have any experience working in the industry which
is one of the many reasons why they aren't succeeding since both of them have their ideas
as to how a restaurant should be run the couple often argue and even do it in front of customers
hoping to keep the business alive the owners even brought in their children to help out but nothing
is really working so they resort to asking ramsay for some guidance when he finally arrives he meets
with the owners and is shocked by the revelation that manny impulsively bought the restaurant soon
after getting a haircut next door and noticed that the building was for sale his wife never
wanted any part in this venture but she was forcibly dragged into it and truly feels trapped
predictably the married couple's relationship deteriorated so much as a result that christina
wants to get a divorce sitting down ramsay attempts to order a giro platter luca nico
and a pasticio then scans the dining room as he waits he notices that the decor is dull and that
the colors are gloomy then finally receives his food which is not only disgusting but
very bland unhappy about the feedback manny gets into an argument with christina which
ramsay can clearly hear from the dining room meeting with the staff later on they tell the
kitchen nightmares folks that they switch from using fresh to frozen produce to save on money
evelyn their daughter who works there part-time admits that the biggest issue is her parents who
just aren't cut out to run a restaurant in the face of this admission the couple just start
blaming one another as usual and failed to own up to their mistakes later on ramsay attempts to
observe the dinner service which was a disaster to say the very least aside from the customers hating
the food and sending it back for being either dry or overcooked the famous chef notices that
they keep some of their meals in the microwave heading into the basement ramsay finds tons of
raw meat stored next to the cooked meat jars of food that are years old and moldy produce
showing the nasty walk-in to the owners as well as evelyn manny simply ships the blame on the staff
while evelyn insists that it's his job to check it the following day ramsay heads over to the owner's
home hoping to get them to realize that their lack of communication is their biggest downfall
thanks to the heartfelt plea from evelyn the couple agreed to try to be on the same page for
the sake of the restaurant and their family after helping the owners refine their cooking skills and
get them to work together ramsay was finally ready to move into the renovations it's safe to say that
the changes made were certainly well received since both owners seem to be overwhelmed with
happiness following the taping of this episode the business's sales improved and the couple
was finally working together not only did their relationship improve but evelyn felt comfortable
enough to make the restaurant her full-time job since the atmosphere was much nicer even though
the owners stuck pretty closely to the changes ramsay made the reviews on yelp were very mixed
some were in love with the new fresh food while others wanted them to bring back the old menu
which we can't understand why temporarily closing down in april of 2014 due to the renovations they
were supposed to reopen but never did months later a restaurant called kalamaki new york city opened
up in its place which has great reviews and is even frequented by some katiala regulars
zayna flaming grill we're gonna end things off on a good note with a restaurant called zaina flaming
grill that ramsay tried to rescue in the seventh season owned by faye and her niece brenda they
decided to run the restaurant alongside some other family members which wasn't exactly the
best decision they constantly get into arguments which pushes customers away and the owners blame
one another for everything leaving the restaurant in complete chaos being hopelessly in debt and on
the verge of losing their business as a whole the owners called out to ramsay for some help
upon his eventual rival ramsay meets with the owners separately in hopes of understanding the
issues at hand faye expresses that she has to do everything while brenda says that she never gives
her a chance to take control later on he heads in to sample the food and is told by his server
email that faye is overbearing short-tempered and lazy not impressed with the food ramsay
is further disappointed at the site of the busing station that is only a few feet away
and is filled with dirty dishes the famous chef gives his feedback on his meals and expresses
that the food was awful and clearly frozen despite being advertised as fresh holding a family meeting
later on faye continues to claim that she does everything herself but brenda reminds her that
she isn't running the restaurant alone and should delegate the work observing the dinner service
ramsay notices that the customers seem eager to try the food but are ultimately disappointed and
many send it back one of the patrons says that she doesn't like her chicken dish since it was dry
and faye immediately questions her and refuses to believe that there's a problem with it
inspecting the kitchen to understand why the food was so bad ramsay finds months worth of prepared
frozen food in the freezer with some being so old that they were freezer burns returning the next
day ramsay proposes that they run the restaurant without phase and experiment so that you can feel
more confident about letting them do things even though there were a few hiccups and arguments that
broke out between amel and mark brenda managed to defuse the situation and took control of the staff
after some training ramsay and his team finally renovated the building and the staff seemed
ecstatic with the changes made following the taping of this episode face supposedly went
back to doing the same thing which resulted in two of the staff members who appeared in
the episode deciding to leave thankfully she decided to sell the business to another man
named ray younis who turned the restaurant into a respectable place with good food
