catfish cabin opening in 1971 catfish cabin is a restaurant in memphis tennessee owned
by charles and his daughter rachel who later went on to become the manager

as a result of the toxic environment the standards have gone down which has really
only hurt the business not knowing how else to improve things charles and rachel reach out to
the legendary Gordon Ramsay for some aid arriving disguised as a construction worker Ramsay enters
the restaurant with an entourage of other local construction workers wanting to test the food
he orders some staple memphis dishes which takes an hour to arrive and just tastes bland
repulsed by the horrible service Chef Ramsay takes off his disguise and brings the staff to the hell
on wheels truck where he shows them the footage he captured of the restaurant what it reveals is a
filthy kitchen cross-contaminated food cockroaches and rotting bugs on the floor following what is a
lot of arguing the renovation team decided on completely taking everything out of the dining
room and starting from fresh when Ramsay goes to inspect the kitchen in person he finds rotten
meat and fish in the walk-in fridge uncovered and unlabeled produce as well as pools of oil
to help things go faster the famous chef gets the kitchen staff to thoroughly clean
the kitchen while the rest of the staff help with rebuilding the dining room later on ramsay's shown
some footage of geraldine taking cash from the register which results in rachel firing her with
the general manager gone ramsay finds someone else to lead the restaurant then helps the staff with
learning the new menu once everything was set up catfish cabin eventually relaunched and despite
a few hiccups the customers seemingly loved the updated decor and improved menu a couple
months after the 24 hours the hell and back team left the restaurant's sales certainly improved
according to charles rachel was proven to be a great leader and did amazing as the new manager
he is eternally grateful for the changes made especially since the staff has become more
positive when the communication improved however the reviews were very polarizing after the show
aired many complaining about the poor service and food quality in the end catfish cabin closed down
in october of 2019 since elise was taken over by a new owner today the restaurant now goes
under the name bell's catfish and soul food since it was renamed by the owner devis belle
madeira's bakery in bistro in 2002 carrie reese decided to open up madeira's bakery in bistro in
los angeles california carrie's daughters tiffany and marissa work at the bistro as
servers but the stress of the restaurant has caused some tensions to rise in the family
in addition to this the staff don't like carry which makes the work environment extremely toxic
and reduces the service quality with no more options left the owner reaches out to chef ramsay
hoping that he can set things straight arriving disguised as a cameraman the 24 hours to hell and
back host orders a collection of dishes the meals come back tasting sale and flavorless as well as
smelling rancid which pushes the famous chef to take off his disguise forcing the restaurant to
close down ramsay gathers the staff and shows them hidden footage that he captured it exposes
the staff's serious lack of respect towards carry and how practically no one listens to her demands
moving into the kitchen to investigate chef ramsay finds brown lettuce rotten zucchini
sour ox tail and meat drenched in blood disgusted with what he was seeing the host demands that the
staff do a deep clean of the kitchen since it was filthy later ramsay attempts to teach the new menu
to the cooks and they admit they've never been allowed to add anything to the menu following a
lot of renovating the new restaurant is revealed rocking an updated decor and improved dishes
even if there were some concerns that things would be successful the relaunch went perfectly
and the staff was finally working together approximately three months after the changes were
made the patrons seemed to be ecstatic with their experience today the restaurant is still open but
the reviews are pretty mixed with many complaining about the service and food quality having a three
and a half star review on yelp across 307 reviews ramsay certainly saved medias from closing down
lowry's seafood restaurant after eight decades of being in business laurie's seafood restaurant was
passed down to doobie lowry and his brother david since doobie was given complete ownership while
david was assigned as a manager a rift between the brothers grew getting into constant fights
resulted in a breakdown of communication which only hurt the business lowry's is only capable
of pushing on because their parents have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep it afloat
though it's very close to closure most of the staff blame the businesses downfall on duby who
slacks off and doesn't know how to properly run a restaurant considering the fact that things
were getting really bad david called out to chef ramsay for some aid arriving undercover with a
group of local pensioners he's instantly assaulted with a pungent smell of seafood upon entering
ordering some dishes from the menu the meals come back spoiled overcooked and tasting sour brining
the service as dreadful ramsay brings the staff to his hell on meal's kitchen truck to show them the
hidden footage he captured it reveals low quality food expired ingredients and a staff member
admitting that the restaurant had a salmonella outbreak forcing the manager in order to clean
the kitchen ramsay spends some time alone with the staff they admit that the biggest problem is
the restaurant's lack of leadership and the fact that they waste money on produce daily inspecting
the walk-in is covered in dangerous black mold nothing seems to be dated and there's raw beef
stored next to cooked meat getting the staff to discard the rotting produce and deep clean the
kitchen ramsay attempts to mend duby and david's relationship by getting their mother involved
thanks to a touching heart to heart the brothers seemed to be on the same page and the famous chef
could finally make some changes revamping the menu and changing the decor seemed to really
please not only the staff but the customers upon the relaunch several months later it seems like
the business has increased and the restaurant just keeps getting new faces however according
to some reviewers the quality went down as time passed and it sadly closed down sometime in 2020.
