to catfish cabin in memphis tennessee to save it from closure owned by charles and managed by his
daughter rachel the restaurant did exceptionally well until the recession in 2008 ever since then
they've only been losing money and it's gotten to a point where they're bleeding up to 80 000
a year to make matters even worse charles and rachel are very stubborn and communicate extremely
poorly with one another with the restaurant being on the verge of closing down they call out to
Ramsay and his team for some guidance upon his eventual rival disguise as a construction worker
with a group of four they notice that the decor is dated and that the dining room smells awful
ordering some staple memphis meals the famous chef and his friends weigh over half an hour and are
disappointed with the greasy slimy and soggy food they receive having seen more than enough Ramsay
takes off his disguise gathers the staff together and shows them the hidden footage he captured
exposing the fact that they have dirt and grime underneath their cooking equipment are
cross-contaminating and have a vermin infestation charles and his staff are stunned by what they see
talking some more with the staff rachel admits that she has no authority since the operations
manager geraldine only listens to charles and not her most of the employees agree that the biggest
issue is a lack of leadership and the fact that the management is divided later on Ramsay heads
into the walk-in and notices some spoiled ground beef and catfish that's gone rancid
additionally he sees a pool of grease sitting in the grease trap and finds cockroaches running
behind the equipment sitting down to discuss the issues at hand with both charles and rachel rachel
highlights that she wants to take full control and that geraldine is a problem inviting gerald
dean into the conversation Ramsay reveals some footage of her taking money from the cash register
speechless and feeling betrayed charles thankfully decides to fire her and the conversation ends with
the owner finally giving complete control to his daughter calling over some professionals to
deep clean the kitchen they remove years worth of grime from the equipment after completely
cleaning the area Ramsay gets them with brand new fryers and a collection of cooking tools
moving into the renovation phase the famous chef and his team revitalized the dining room with
modern furnishings and added a boat to the ceiling when the restaurant finally relaunched the service
was a success overall even though some dishes were sent back for being undercooked months after the
taping of this episode the sales greatly improved and the patrons fell in love with the freshly made
mac and cheese rachel finally got the control she desired and the communication between staff
members was better than ever reviews on yelp were quite mixed however with most praising the decor
but others complaining about the customer service and food quality ultimately the restaurant closed
down in october of 2019 but was purchased by new owners several months later now the
restaurant goes by the name belle's catfish and soul food which has pretty good reviews
stone's throw in this second season of the show gordon Ramsay heads over to stone's throw in
store connecticut to bring it back on its feet purchased by peter and his wife tara three years
prior to the taping of this episode they simply wanted something to work on together although
they didn't expect the business to be so difficult to handle and put all their savings into keeping
the restaurant afloat to have money to get by tara also has a full-time job which completely drains
her of her energy needing some guidance before it's too late the couple call out to Ramsay for
some much needed help arriving disguised as an old lady Ramsay visits the restaurant with four other
elderly women which is hilarious putting aside the fact that the restaurant smells disgusting Ramsay
orders some fine dining dishes and admires the beautiful view of the river on the other hand the
famous chef points out that the interior itself lacks vibrancy and is just filthy when the food
finally arrives it's not only dry and overcooked but tastes rancid leaving the famous chef feeling
disappointed done with the food Ramsay decides to reveal himself then gathers the staff together to
show them the shocking footage he captured it puts on display how the staff does anything but their
job the food is improperly cooked and stored and how there's tons of moldy produce both the owners
and staff alike were utterly shocked with what they just witnessed and claimed that they weren't
aware that it was this bad gathering the staff later on they expressed that the owner's sons who
also helped manage the place aren't pulling their weight and slack off though this is mostly due to
the fact that peter and tara don't take criticism very well so the sons feel like they can't speak
up additionally Ramsay reveals that he had some of his staff visit undercover and they left with
food poisoning soon after the owners join in on the conversation and they admit that they're
three months away from closing down but the staff reassures them that they're committed to helping
the restaurant improve pulling the family aside the couple's quick to defend themselves but ramsay
points out that they're in denial and that the restaurant isn't as perfect as they think it is
later on ramsay decides to prove this to them by inspecting the walk-in freezer which has spoiled
chicken rancid oysters and rotting shrimp that was recently served with there being no room to deny
the state of the restaurant the owners finally agree that things are bad and help clean the
kitchen spending some time with peter he reminds him that his wife has a lot on her shoulders
and that he should help her alleviate that burden moving into the renovation phase rams and his team
not only deep cleaned the kitchen and replaced the equipment but they updated the dining room to be
more colorful and inviting as well as improve the menu upon the restaurant's eventual relaunch it
seemed like the customers enjoyed the food despite having to wait 30 plus minutes to receive it
generally the patrons were in love with the changes made and were stunned by how drastic
the improvements were post 24 hours to help him back the restaurant standards improved greatly
thanks to Ramsay's guidance and the staff was much happier months after Ramsay left reviews on yelp
were pretty mixed with some praising the location and atmosphere while others expressed that the
food was hit or miss in the end the restaurant closed down in january of 2019 and was put up
for sale for nine hundred thousand dollars by you on the vine as our last entry we're gonna cover
a restaurant that Gordon Ramsay tried to rescue called bayou on the vine owned by chuck burn and
his wife ertha they purchased the restaurant for their daughter sharika who works as the
executive chef unfortunately she's hard to please and get along with and is constantly getting into
arguments with her sisters who also work at bayou to make matters even worse the family
has no experience in the restaurant industry which is why they're failing a year into business
unsure of what else to do they call it to ramsay and his team for some much needed guidance when he
finally arrives in a disguise as usual alongside a group of people ramsay immediately notices that
the restaurant is mardi gras themed ordering some staple crayola dishes they all come back cold and
tasting dreadful which really disappoints the famous chef after hearing the family argue all
the way from the kitchen ramsay decides that he's heard enough and finally reveals himself
bringing the staff to his hell on wheels truck soon after the 24 hours to hell and back host
shows them some very revealing footage not only does everyone get to see how filthy the kitchen
is but they see that there's vermin crawling about and that sharika could be pretty hostile at times
despite the clear evidence sharika denies that there were ever any bugs in the kitchen and when
confronted about her lack of experience she gets very defensive holding a staff meeting later on
they all agree that sharika is the biggest problem and would probably be fired if she wasn't a part
of the family shayna who sharika's sister and the restaurant's general manager has never managed
a restaurant before and when ramsay asks her about this she gets all sensitive and walks out
after getting her to calm down ramsay tells the staff that he needs to hear that they're
committed to change if they want his help giving them some time to think the famous
chef pulls the owner chuck aside and talks to him about his daughters he expresses that sharika is
entitled and needs to be put in her place and that shane has given up and needs to be fired
later on ramsay meets with shayna in hopes that he could get her to commit to the business and
accept the upcoming changes which she reluctantly does additionally he brings sarika to the hell
on wheels kitchen to reveal the new menu he's been working on but she doesn't seem to like it
at first even though ramsay modernizing the traditional crayola dishes on the menu made
sharika pretty uncomfortable she had to change her mind after trying them for herself with the family
seemingly being on the right track it was finally time for ramsay to move into the renovation phase
starting by stocking the kitchen with new equipment the famous chef decided to rename
the place to gatsons in commemoration of urtha's father and his jazz legacy
what's more the dining room was revamped to be more colorful the stage was redecorated
with brass trumpets and the family's photos were placed on the wall upon the restaurant's eventual
relaunch the staff gets quickly overwhelmed and some food is sent back but once shaina and
sarika started working together things went pretty smoothly following the taping of this episode the
restaurant was doing a lot better especially since shayna actually started taking control regardless
of the fact that the restaurant had pretty good reviews it ended up closing down in june of 2020
