hello everyone hope you're having a wonderful day today welcome to the Film Insight channel
for today's video we're going to discuss some more restaurants featured on Gordon
Ramsay's 24 hours to helm back and reveal how they are now so without further ado
let's get right into the content guys botto's italian line restaurant
located in swedesboro new jersey bottle's italian restaurant is owned by robert bottle
jr and his brother vincent henry and dominic being opened in 1998 by their father they
eventually took over after his sad passing but things only went downhill from there
racking up close to nine hundred thousand dollars of debt the brothers were in desperate need of
change so they called out the chef Gordon Ramsay for some help arriving as usual in disguise he
brings along his head of kitchen mary and a decoy Gordon at the restaurant's wedding table sitting
in the corner of the room Ramsay watches as his decoy orders some classic italian dishes not only
do they think the food tastes spoiled and rancid they feel like the decor is drab and uninviting
robert asked the decoy diners if they would like another dish but mary's given the signal
to reveal their true intentions and asked the owner to gather the staff removing his disguise
the famous chef asked everyone to come outside to view the hidden footage he captured of the kitchen
what is shown is absolutely shocking with there being rancid meats rotting vegetables flies
on food and an insufferable chef forcing the customers to leave Ramsay asks them to revisit
in 24 hours when he's turned the restaurant around calling in a meeting one server expresses that he
doesn't think that the front of house and kitchen have good teamwork this causes robert to lash out
and argue with Gordon telling him that he just doesn't know what he's doing their line cook brian
feels a sense of shame from the food that they put out which results in robert directing the blame
once again but this time to his brother henry going to inspect the kitchen in person Ramsay
finds three trays of dried meatballs uncovered containers undated meat and slimy veal later on
chef Ramsay meets with dominic who reveals that he never goes to the restaurant since he trusts that
his brothers will be able to handle it spending some time along with henry as well he points out
that the main issue is robert's purchasing a food that ends up being spoiled due to the fact that it
doesn't sell urging him to stand up to robert and tell him that he wants to make more decisions he
does so and this is when things finally began to change Ramsay turned the drab decor into something
more inviting and added new and delicious items to the menu which the staff and customers loved
months after the 24 hours the hell and back team left henry is given reports that customers love
the improved decor and food today the restaurant is back to being a hot spot for people to visit
just like when their father was running things interestingly enough robert no longer sticks
around at the restaurant and rather focuses on other tasks which has made him really happy
while the reviews about ramsay's changes are very mixed they are still doing way better than before
so you have to give them credit for that south boulevard owner jermaine opened south boulevard
also known as sobo to pay tribute to his korean mother his restaurant fuses korean cuisine with
american food though this hasn't brought him much success since he's 200 thousand dollars in debt
it doesn't quite help that he has no restaurant experience and that he believes simply having
a good staff would help the place run itself jermaine certainly didn't choose wisely since
his head chef tarsha has no restaurant experience either and doesn't know a thing about korean food
the owner's girlfriend whitney doesn't have a clue how to run a restaurant either but is so
dedicated to hope that she quit her job however as a result this caused a lot of conflict in
the relationship which makes the atmosphere even more toxic urgently needing some support before
everything falls apart they call out to Gordon Ramsay for some aids arriving undercover as an
audio crew member he sends in alex hall a chef from his hell on wheels truck to go in as recon
gaining access to the kitchen he notices that everything is disorganized and that there's
some cross-contamination already having seen enough Ramsay heads into the dining room and
asked the waitresses to gather the staff showing them footage from his hidden camera the team gets
to see how filthy their kitchen is with rotten produce and how clueless the management can be
Ramsay's recon comes back with a disgusting tub of pre-packed salmon and extremely old asparagus
later on he kicks all the patrons out and holds a meeting with the staff one staff member admits
that the kitchen hasn't cleaned in over 8 months and that the fridge doesn't work at all another
exposes the fact that a lot of the employees are not paid on time which seem very uncomfortable
for them to admit spending some time alone with jermaine he shows him footage of his mother who
reveals that she would have been able to retire had it not been for the financial support she
gave him for the restaurant she tells ramsay that her son can't cook and that they would prefer that
he sell the restaurant rather than waste their money ready to make some changes ramsay adds
new equipment to the kitchen revamps the menu and decor as well as hires a new head chef that knows
what they're doing a couple months later after the business was reborn jermaine expressed being
ecstatic with the new changes and fully embraced them seemingly the owner and his girlfriend were
much happier especially since whitney noticed her boyfriend was taking things more seriously
however in february of 2020 south boulevard officially closed down this is for two specific
reasons for one their rent was rarely paid on time and this unpaid rent forced them to
change the locks on the restaurant they also lost their liquor license in january of the same year
it's quite disappointing since the reviews were mostly very positive after the episode was filmed
the park restaurant and bar kieran and angelica stone opened the park restaurant and bar in oak
park california near a collection of picturesque ranches that you would often see in movies
unfortunately most of the area was ravaged by the recent california wildfires and it deeply
impacted the restaurant having been open for three years the risk of losing the business
has steadily increased since their profitability was very low things got so bad that the owners
had to let their manager and chef go since they were no longer capable of paying them
desperately needing the guidance of a professional karen calls out to the legendary Gordon Ramsay
for some help when ramsay arrives he's disguised alongside some local firemen and sends in super
bowl legend rob gronkowski with some friends as a distraction the decor is quite drab and
dingy and one unused section of the restaurant perplexes Ramsay since it looks like an oyster bar
Gronkowski's table orders a ton of food that arrives swimming in greeks and overall tasting
dreadful revealing himself Ramsay gathers the staff and brings them to the hell on wheels
truck so he could show them his horrifying hidden footage everyone is disgusted by the footage that
exposes their filthy kitchen expired products freezer burnt food meat stored in blood and the
clueless owner who drinks on the job calling a staff meeting without the owners no one thinks
anyone is in charge except for a worker named katie who is there from time to time without a
head shaft the staff feel like they were abandoned and have nowhere to look for some guidance
inspecting the kitchen he finds a tray filled with half cooked chicken mixed with brussels sprouts
and another tub of meat soaking with blood meeting with angelica later on she explains that she isn't
happy about the amount of time she spends away from her children and how it's stressing her out
confronting kieran Ramsey explains to him that his wife is in a role that she
doesn't want to be in and urges him to let her leave if he values his marriage
we're ready to make some changes the famous chef removed the oyster bar changed the decor added a
new stage and installed a pos system he also hired a new head chef and completely convinced kieran to
let his wife distance herself from the restaurant we have some great news about this rescue months
after Ramsay left the park restaurant and bar is still open and doing very well however both
kieran and angelica have decided to separate a lot of the original staff has also left as well
on the plus side though the restaurant has four stars on yelp southern kitchen for this last quick
entry Gordon Ramsay visits the southern kitchen restaurant in virginia owned by shane and her
daughters when arriving he's disguised hilariously as a woman who's part of a woman's book club
they all order staple southern dishes which come back poorly presented and void of any flavor
eventually getting the staff to gather around his hell on wheels truck he reveals the hidden
footage he captured of the kitchen it shows breakages the constantly ringing service bell
menu items missing and shane shouting at the staff as usual he gets all the customers who
are still inside the restaurant to leave so he could hold a meeting with the staff
in essence the staff believes that there is a communication issue that the environment
is always toxic and shane expresses that the staff just aren't taking their job seriously
meeting specifically with the kitchen staff he presents them his new menu and tells a worker
named dre to take charge and keep shane away from the kitchen asking shane's daughter chelsea if she
truly wants to stay at the restaurant she admits that she's only there because it's her mom's dream
to have a restaurant how sweet ramsay admits that he really wants the restaurant to be successful
but not if it will cost the daughters their dreams who have been burdened with the responsibility of
running a restaurant later confronting their mother about her daughter's true feelings she
runs off tearfully but eventually accepts that she needs to let her daughters pursue their own paths
after giving the restaurant some new decor and adding easy to make dishes to the menu
the restaurant was reborn today it is still very much open and busy every day since the
food has dramatically improved chelsea has cut down her hours to three days a week so
she could focus on other things all the reviews on yelp are mostly positive which is a big step up
