hello everyone hope you're having a great day today welcome back to our channel film insight in
today's video we're going to talk some more about kitchen nightmares and reveal how they're doing
now sit back and relax as we go straight into the content pantoleoni's kitchen here how many pizzas
get ordered on a sunday just in football season we did open last sunday in 86. pantaleons was opened
in 1985 in denver colorado by pete and paulette for phallus in the beginning the restaurant
received a slew of awards and positive reviews but the owners became too prideful and cocky which was
their downfall pete truly believed that his pizza was exquisite despite the fact that the customers
were complaining about the food and the reviews were negative his son josh and grandson gabe
tried to knock some sense into him but it was no use finally pete and paulette decided
to call chef Ramsay chef Ramsay learns that pete doesn't like working on sundays because according
to him sundays were devoted to football pete simply forgot the fact that weekends call for
rush hour at any restaurant why are you closing sunday sunday because i want to watch football
why didn't chef ramsay kick him like a football anyway it doesn't end here
he liked taking naps in the afternoon as he used to get tired after the long mornings
russian closes because p wants the nap yeah like they do in greece it would have been a treat if
he was a chef in hell's kitchen he would have been eliminated in the very first week another
ridiculous thing he did was refuse to promote josh to head chef expect josh by now yes literally five
or six years at the helm why can't you let go since pete still saw himself as the top dog
and if we take a look at the restaurant's interior it's incredibly drab
anyway by calling his pizza the best in denver pete was ready to impress chef ramsay and prove
his family wrong however ramsay came to learn that the pizza was greasy and bland oh my god
oil although pete wasn't ready to accept this fact for god's sake how but finally when his
family threatened to leave he was like no i will embrace the change well good for him
with chef ramsay changing the menu portions and decorum pete had to mess it up on the relaunch
day he got overwhelmed and miscommunicated with josh and all the orders were delayed chef ramsay
gave him his classic verbal lashing and the rest of the night went smoothly after that
i've got one very important question for you am i willing to change
that's the one after kitchen nightmares pantaleons received a lot more positive reviews
customers complimented the entire staff service regarding the restaurant as comfortable
and praised the menu's reasonable prices but still the reviews are mixed when it comes to the food
the positive ratings are pretty good if you check out yelp and tripadvisor however there were
complaints about the restaurant's location which was inconvenient and proved to be one of the major
issues overall despite this flaw i can say they are doing great now one of the customers reviewed
the place 4.0 and wrote we came for a quick bite during happy hour before going to a play nearby
we were curious about the fried green tomato and oysters a regular customer who sat next
to me recommended some sliders so we added that she acknowledged that not everything on the menu
was great which was a good tip the martini was refreshing and the oyster was fresh with
horseradish and red vinegar sauce the fried green tomatoes and sliders were pretty good as well
as an oyster lover i still prefer angelos another customer gave the place 2.0 and wrote i know this
is a five-star place from previous experiences however my bf and i were disappointed with both of
our stakes tonight both were practically well done i ordered a medium for my fillet and he ordered
medium rare plus for his strip we didn't want to send back the items the flavors were still great
old hitching post restaurant and tavern i don't care who you are
no Ramsay i'll get in the ring and fight you every day tom purchased old hitching post restaurant and
tavern in 2005 to give to his daughter andrea but ended up being the one to run it why did
you purchase it for her then in any case the restaurant was going downhill due to the family's
issues and tom's awful behavior defense if you've got to put one a year on the freezer one day
all right you haven't got true what you're talking about on the way with chef Ramsay tom even whined
about his daughter that she was useless not a hard-working person and unfit to be an owner
janice the restaurant manager said the same too believe me though these were all false accusations
and the problem was actually tom thanks to andrea chef Ramsay got to see how horrible of a father
tom was you know ready to take cover that's not true even though she was running the restaurant
her not so dear father took all the money they earned from the business later on chef Ramsay
decided to taste test the food predictably the food wasn't fresh at all it was cold in the middle
and the most shocking part it was store-bought i can't do that to my tummy it's dreadful
obviously store bought i don't even think someone who was starved would want to eat this food listen
the longest i owned the place i never heard one complain the next thing that i will say will make
you go wtf so when chef ramsay asked the waitress if the food was fresh or not tom forced her to lie
so tom took chef ramsay's critique as an insult and no i'm not surprised at all chef ramsay found
out about the outdated bland food fiasco and tom's fake intentions to behave well in front of
the chef that's when ramsay decided to reach out to the staff and no surprises here the feedback
was all negative trust me he didn't take it well the funny thing is tom believed very bluntly that
the customers love frozen food should we gather us if it was trojan you thought i'd like that
i really did it's an insult to america in this area that's what they love buddy if customers
loved frozen food why would they come to a restaurant a quick stop at walmart would do
right by this time chef Ramsay was done he took matters into his own hands and put tom in his
place all business is run on your system why are you so controlling tom it wasn't controlling type
of thing it was just a routine after an overnight change to the menu and the interior the relaunch
was amazingly successful andrea was the rock star that night as of now old hitching post restaurant
is strong and going well it has a 4.0 rating the customer reviews are generally positive though
some complained about the staff being rude and not attentive enough one of the customers who gave the
restaurant a five rating wrote good restaurants and great food plus the service was fantastic
i would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a comfortable meal in a relaxing
environment it seems like they finally found the proper stride to keep things going
yanny's greek house come on he said it was i just want lift my window now
okay yanny's greek restaurant has been running for over three decades in seattle washington initially
the restaurant was doing great but in the late 2000s the inflow of customers started to drop and
they were nearly crushed with debt how much money are you losing between uh eight and ten thousand
the family-owned restaurant was passed down to peter augustio in 2007. peter the owner explained
how the family lacked focus and dedication and gave an impression of a soft boy towards the staff
to chef ramsay later chef ramsay learned from others that peter was not ready to change the menu
even after knowing how outdated it was moments later the family turned into quarreling simpsons
you know it's hard for me to just give up this place it's not asking you to give
up we're just having to change i couldn't chef ramsay like always ordered some food
and the one thing that piqued my interest was the pumpkin hummus it even piqued his
interest now as much as it sounds unique the taste was just the opposite not makes sense
i don't like the combination oh my god chef Ramsay returned all the food that he
had ordered it was just a lump of bland greasy and sauceless food peter was definitely someone
who doesn't take criticism well he lost his cool when his wife agreed with chef Ramsay's feedback
you want to go sit with him and chit chat how to criticize my food get out of my kitchen
just please please i don't need your criticism he was in dismay he wasn't ready to accept that
the food quality was terrible when chef Ramsay returned for the dinner service boy was it chaotic
so much so that you would have gotten a headache the very first dish had overcooked meat and
customers soon started sending their food back as it was not enough for chef Ramsay to see those
disgusting ingredients he came across a bucket of moldy beef how the hell didn't he throw up
then some time later peter announces that they won't serve food anymore just close the line
down man i don't give a [ __ ] what do you guys do can you do shut down the restaurant
we need to shut down the restaurant no one's getting food hello how can you force the
customers to leave on an empty stomach it looked like peter was still in denial like
seriously even after the disastrous dinner but thank god the wife was calm and handled him well
after that chef ramsay changed the menu gave the restaurant a nice makeover and ethan introduced
them to a new pos system even though the relaunch night had some problems it still went smoothly
as of now they have added some of their old dishes along with chef ramsay's menu and they
currently have a 4 star rating on yelp and over 1 800 positive reviews on their facebook page
one of the customers gave the restaurant a four star on yelp and wrote the service was great
in the sense the servers were extremely kind and attentive shout out to karen our food did take
a little longer to come out but once it came it was very good i will go again looks like they're
finally settled leo's this business that flat that you're watching games and trying to deal
with customers at the same time yes there is chef leones is based in montclair new jersey founded by
rose in 1996. the restaurant had positive reviews and was great among the community until rose fell
into a coma due to a kidney stone operation and her son michael took overall operations
now of course you must have thought that michael was as good as his mother or maybe even better but
unfortunately he was not he was nowhere close to being as skilled and had poor leadership skills
even though the restaurant was open it was almost as if it had already closed
the good part was that rose came back but it was far too late to make changes since the restaurant
was already in a massive pool of debt okay and how long have you been back in the business two
months so you just come back now so much for carrying a mother's legacy right chef ramsay
realized that michael failed to lead and guide the staff and he did very little work michael's face
michael also had very little interest in doing something about it because of his lazy bones the
reservations fell moreover the restaurant was filthy and the food was moldy now who
would want to eat in a restaurant like that if the moldy mess wasn't enough the restaurant
had a 15 page long menu featuring 100 items you gotta be kidding me but was the food good it was
horrible it even looked awful the clams that chef ramsay ordered were not even cleaned
how could michael be so deluded as to think that the restaurant was good during the dinner service
chef ramsay was dismayed after seeing the messy kitchen and all the dishes were sent back the most
disgusting and shocking part was their storage units it was pure horror after seeing the health
hazard chef ramsay closed the kitchen everybody i'm sorry to interrupt everybody i'm sad to say
and embarrassed to say that we're closing down leonie for the night wonder if anyone went down
with food poisoning i hope not michael being stubborn was not ready to accept his mistakes
finally after Ramsay drilled some sense into him michael showed some changes ah the sweet fragrance
of improvement the restaurant was transformed into a beautiful bistro was given a modern pos
a new menu and most importantly it was cleaned oh yes michael needed some push like a baby during
the relaunch but it was still a successful night leone's reviews aren't quite what i expected on
yelp their rating is 3.5 and the same goes for tripadvisor though facebook has a rating of 4.6
on yelp one customer gave a five star and wrote this italian restaurant funds as a pizza shop but
it has a full menu and area seating recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint the food
was excellent and the restaurant is located right over the bayonne bridge very convenient for staten
island family owned and operated for years give them a try another user gave a one star for a
cold salad and said absolute nightmare wouldn't eat here again well that's all for today did you
