and reveal how they're doing now so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the
content guys 1. peter's italian restaurant for the pilot episode of kitchen nightmares Gordon
Ramsay headed over to a failing restaurant called peters located in babylon new york early on into
the episode Ramsay meets with tina pellegrino and the restaurant's namesake pita pasta pellegrino
her brother who is the restaurant's host viewers quickly get a peek into peter's out of control ego
when he claims that he would rather buy a new suit than purchase new equipment for his
dying restaurant tina who's struggling to deal with her brother claims that peter's obsession
with his self-image and inability to control his emotions is at the core of the business's
shortcomings later Ramsay also meets with chef robert and peter's friends jerry and jerry who
are some interesting characters Gordon then sits down to order some food off of the menu and gets
a crab cake as well as some lobster ravioli the salad that comes with the crab cake has rotten
bits hidden within the crab cake is cold and it becomes increasingly obvious to chef ramsay that
the crab meat is far from fresh additionally the lobster ravioli resembles baby food
and is smothered with parsley how nasty when these issues are brought to the kitchen's attention a
huge argument breaks out where no one can get a word in without having someone speak over them
the following day the famous chef inspects the restaurant's kitchen and discovers a lot of filth
and broken equipment it becomes obvious to him that barely any money was invested into improving
the kitchen and that things desperately needed to change the next day Gordon reveals the new
appliances he had installed in the restaurant's kitchen new plates and a new refrigerator he also
makes major changes to the menu unfortunately the changes made to the restaurant were far too late
and the restaurant closed its doors in december 2008 after the restaurant closed down its space
was taken over by the restaurant next door interestingly enough it was revealed by coza
nostra news in 2011 that peter had mob connections he was supposedly working for the bonanno family
does this news surprise you 2. the old stone mill in yet another season one episode Gordon
Ramsay heads over to the old stone mill located in tuckahoe new york to rescue it from closure
the restaurant opened its doors back in 2001 and is currently owned by dean and barbara moradzo
as the name suggests the restaurant is an abandoned stone mill that dean renovated
it definitely has a cool atmosphere but has a ton of issues unfortunately dean's poor behavior
towards the staff had caused the chefs to become uninspired and has lowered the team's overall
mobile the earnings are low making it difficult to pay the employees which is why the owners called
out to ramsey for some aid when the famous chef finally arrives he's pleasantly surprised with
the breathtaking exterior he's baffled at the fact that such a good-looking restaurant is struggling
though after ordering a meal he quickly finds out why the following day ramsay scouts around
the area for competing restaurants so he can make a concrete plan on how to improve the
old stone mill he notices that there are tons of different restaurants but no steak houses
feeling inspired ramsay brings a prime rib back to chef michael and teaches him how to cook
one perfectly the famous chef also carries out a proper remodeling of the restaurant
and it looks incredible in the weeks after the old stone mill kitchen nightmares episode aired things
were going great dean and the rest of the staff stepped up and the restaurant was working well
a few weeks later during the 200th anniversary of the old stone mill building dean received
the key to the city however dean and barbara eventually decided to sell the restaurant
but michael was kept on as chef to this day the restaurant is still open but under new ownership
dean morazzo also got a lot of press after the kitchen nightmares episode and appeared on the
tonight show with jay leno and the ellen degeneres show 3. handlebar season 2 introduced viewers to a
restaurant called the handle bar which Gordon Ramsay attempted to save owned by a man named
billy he has long been struggling to keep the restaurant afloat and is in a deep pool of dead
not knowing how else to move forward the desperate owner reached out to Ramsay and his team for some
professional guidance very early on into the episode the famous chef meets with billy and
his wife billy being a construction worker with no experience in the restaurant industry
has no clue why customers aren't flocking to his establishment as the episode progressed it
became clear that the restaurant had numerous failings which ramsay exposed one by one
from their chef lacking enthusiasm about their job to terrible food being served
there was a lot that needed changing especially their kitchen which was filthy and broken down
the famous chef later decided that the restaurant would only benefit from a complete overhaul
he suggested that they turn the place into a gastropub since it might be the only one
available in long island surprisingly ramsay later managed to get d snyder to come for the
re-opening who rode into the pub on a bike which was then auctioned off for charity
even though there were a few difficulties along the way the famous chef was pleased with the
relaunch and the changes that were made revisiting the handlebar a while later ramsay was ecstatic
with the restaurant's progress and was excited to see them turn a profit ultimately though the
restaurant ended up closing down and was sold and reopened to new owners a number of times 4. lido d
manhattan chef Gordon Ramsay pays a visit to lido de manhattan which is on the verge of closing down
owned by lisa hemat a 28 year old usc graduate she purchased the restaurant when she was only 23.
at first the business was incredibly successful but this went downhill and it seems to be empty
on most nights unsure of how to fix things hematt called out to ramsey for some aid when he finally
arrives he notices that the parking lot is full and is unsure as to why the restaurant is
struggling he later discovers that it might be the result of poorly cooked food faulty and outdated
equipment as well as dirty and unhealthy storage units that would leave anyone in disgust after
exposing all of these issues he orders hematt to shut down the kitchen and stop sending food out
the famous chef and his team give the place a complete makeover and open up the restaurant by
removing the dividing wall new seating was also added along with new china curtains and lighting
ramsey rebranded the restaurant as a wine bar which would lead to a new type of clientele
he also has a new halo pos system installed and revamps the menu with items that the
staff all seem to love as of 2022 lido d manhattan is still open and serving customers
what's more liso has expanded the services to include catering and private dining
it has a four-star rating on yelp a 4.5 star rating on google reviews and a four-star rating
on tripadvisor what a fantastic rescue 5. spinner yarn as our final entry we're going to cover a
restaurant that Gordon Ramsay tried to save in the fifth season of the show called spinner yarn
owned by a greek immigrant named saki and his wife jennifer they purchased the restaurant in
when the business started declining jennifer spent an extra six hundred and fifty thousand dollars
of saki's initial three hundred thousand dollar budget to remodel the restaurant
how insane unfortunately remodeling the restaurant didn't change the restaurant's downward trajectory
and now the couple constantly fight sadly this put a huge strain on not only the restaurant but
their relationship as well saki takes chef Ramsay on a tour of the restaurant and shows him their
bathroom which was renovated with 80 000 tiles which Ramsay expresses is far too extravagant
he also orders off the menu and points out that the food is poorly cooked the following day the
famous chef tells the owners that they need to focus on a single type of cuisine and changes the
name of the restaurant to spin a yarn steakhouse Gordon also slims down the menu making it less
complicated and easier to read after sampling dishes from the new menu the staff are not only
impressed with the food but are ready to reopen the restaurant on the night of the relaunch the
restaurant fills up with customers who are eager to see the changes made the prime rib
seems to be a huge hit with the patrons so much so that the kitchen almost ran out of ingredients
but thankfully victor the head chef ordered more meat than necessary so they averted this crisis
the night ended successfully and Ramsay seemed to have hoped for the restaurant's future
spinner yarn is still open and receiving restaurants in fremont california as of 2021
the restaurant got a new chef in 2012 after the kitchen nightmares episode aired and newer reviews
seem better with a four-star rating on tripadvisor and a 4.4 rating on google reviews the spinner
yarn yelp reviews aren't quite as good though as the restaurant has just 3.5 stars well that'll be
