hello everyone hope you're having the most wonderful day today welcome to the film inside
channel for today's video we're going to discuss some more restaurants featured on the uk version
of kitchen nightmares and review how they're doing now so sit back relax and without further ado
let's get right into the content guys the priory for kitchen nightmares episode gordon Ramsay
heads over to the priory to rescue it from closure purchased by a man named scott for 300 000 pounds
six weeks before the taping of this episode he's already losing 5 000 pounds a week despite not
having any experience in the industry he decided to buy the business anyway which was his biggest
mistake not knowing how else to move forward scott decided to call out to Ramsay for some much needed
help upon his eventual arrival the famous chef meets with scott and he immediately points out
that the place is beautiful quickly looking around Ramsay is shocked to see that the owner has to be
the youngest person in the entire restaurant he's also surprised that they're serving a
carvery but it explains why the restaurant is so popular with people over the age of 50.
Ramsay notices that most of the patrons have vouchers that they cut out of the local newspaper
which entitles them to 50 off on the carvery briefly speaking with the customers they praise
the restaurant for its fantastic prices even claiming that it's cheaper than cooking at home
trying the carvery for himself ramsay was not only disgusted by the potatoes which were burnt
but the stuffing which was tough as well as the turkey and beef which were dry heading into the
kitchen to give the staff his feedback the kitchen nightmares host is as brutally honest as ever
soon after Ramsay inspects around starting with the freezer and finds half-carved joints which
were being stored for reuse what's more he finds rotting and warm meats wrapped in cling film
charred food remains grimy equipments and moldy produce confronting the owner about his nasty
findings he claims to have told the staff to clean up before but never really checked up on
if they followed his instructions to get a better idea of what else was wrong with the restaurant
Ramsay interestingly decides to bring the staff to a confessional rather than hold a stress test
after siphoning out enough information the famous chef decides that he's going to convert
the restaurant into a grill specializing in delicious steaks effectively ditching
the carvery since they weren't working later on Ramsay not only gets the kitchen deep cleaned
but refits it with 6 000 pounds worth of new grilling equipment once he was done with that
he completely revamped the menu to include simple dishes that the kitchen staff can make with ease
fast forward to near the end of the episode when they finally relaunched things went generally well
aside from some minor hiccups like the head chef throwing a tantrum in the kitchen post kitchen
nightmares Ramsay revisited the place several weeks later and was disappointed to see that they
didn't listen to his professional advice not only did they bring back the carvery once a week but
after he left they fully reverted back to their old ways while they certainly tried to improve
things by hiring a new head chef they ultimately closed down in 2008 which isn't much of a surprise
in its place a spanish tapas restaurant called la capia opened up but this closed down in 2010
completely unoccupied the building was put up for sale in 2012 but was only purchased in 2017
for 350 000 pounds the curry lounge gordon ramsay decides to visit the failing curry lounge located
in nottingham uk to bring it back on its feet owned by our fan merzak also known as raz he
recently opened up the lounge but is already unfortunately losing money considering the
fact that he was burning cash on a weekly basis the owner decided to call out to ramsay for some
guidance when he finally arrives the famous chef notices that the restaurant boasts about
being award winning on their window although upon further inspection ramsay spots the small print
which exposes the fact that they were only the runners-up after almost being deceived the kitchen
nightmare's host heads inside to try the food for himself ordering some sea bass that was tasteless
a diy curry dish that was greasy and chicken that was dry ramsay was left with the worst
first impression heading straight into the kitchen to discuss his meal with the staff he describes
the food to be boring and lacking in any form of personality hoping to get a better understanding
of the restaurant's issues ramsay observes the evening service and is appalled with what he sees
since the owner lacks confidence in his food he allows customers to order whatever they want even
if it's not exactly on the menu obviously this makes things extremely difficult for the cooks
in the kitchen since they don't have a concrete recipe to follow so dishes take very long to
make what's worse the patrons aren't even happy with the meals that they receive meaning that
the restaurant's diy selling points was not only useless but harmful now that the problems were
out of the open ramsay decided to start by first removing the misleading marketing on the windows
soon after the famous chef finds out that practically none of the food is fresh except
for the naan bread asking the restaurant chef khan to cook every dish on the menu ramsay then
blindfolds the staff and asks them to taste the dishes to see if they can identify which is which
due to the fact that the food was simply blind and forgettable the curry lounge team was unable
to pinpoint what they were eating except for the chips clearly the food was in desperate need of
change so the famous chef decided to add a special to the menu for the following service to introduce
the idea of non-diy dishes to customers during the service ramsay walked around to talk with
the patrons and was irritated to find out that the front of house never told them about the special
turns out raz was just being stubborn and refused to introduce the new special so ramsay forced
khan to do so instead a while later the kitchen nightmare's host invites in an indian chef named
alfred prasad to help with the restaurant's relaunch they completely revamped the menu
to include regional items at a reasonable price and ditch the dumb diy concept to advertise the
restaurant's new approach ramsay took to the streets with bollywood dancers and handed out
samples to the locals upon the curry lounges eventual reopen customers seem to be ecstatic
with the food and the place made well over three thousand pounds that night following the taping of
this episode the restaurant received a special recommendation during the british curry awards
in 2009 and received actual awards for their curry their reviews on yelp and tripadvisor were
mostly positive after ramsay had left but they did receive some complaints here and there about the
food quality raz decided to sell the place to a new owner back in 2015 but they would only manage
to keep the restaurant open until 2018. ever since then a place called tandoor restaurant and bar
opened up in its place with a new owner which has good reviews as an interesting final note
raz admitted to tax fraud back in 2017 by failing to pay 45 000 pounds of vat and falsely claiming
20 000 of tax payments from the restaurants the only reason why he isn't serving a prison
sentence is because he paid back the 45 000 and is repaying the remaining amount through installments
as our final entry we're going to discuss a restaurant that gorn ramsay attempted to save
called piccolo teatro owned by a scottish woman named rachel mcnally she purchased the restaurant
after moving to france but is struggling to keep it open of course it doesn't exactly help that
she has one waitress being her friend stephanie and only two chefs in the kitchen desperate for
her business to succeed mcnally reached out to a professional like ramsay for some aid upon his
eventual rival the famous chef is immediately taken aback by how tiny the place is but heads
inside soon after the sample of food scanning through the menu ramsay orders a collection of
vegetarian dishes and is unimpressed with what he receives not only does the kitchen nightmares host
things that everything is nasty but he brands the food as an insult to vegetarians through
some discussion with the owner later on ramsay finds out that her father invested tons of money
to help open the restaurants but she's currently in a deep pool of debt wanting to understand why
ramsay attempts to observe the dinner service and is extremely unimpressed right off the bat
aside from mcnally being agitated for whatever reason daniel the head chef didn't prepare for the
service he claimed that he'd be able to handle the orders without any preparations but later spent
20 minutes making two simple salads as the orders piled on daniel became increasingly overwhelmed
and ended up burning a lot of the food irritated he began to disrespect the owner who decided to
kick him out but he just wouldn't leave fed up with this embarrassing display Ramsay marches him
out of the restaurant before picking him up and running him down the road with him as persistent
as can be daniel tries to get back inside but the famous chef blocks him from getting back in
leaving and returning the following day ramsay heads into the kitchen to inspect the round
and is disturbed by how filthy it is on top of seeing rotting vegetables stored next to fresh
ones he also finds cooked food that is clearly spoiled and grime all over the place later on the
owner's father brian comes into the restaurant introducing a 23 year old chef named india who
is eager to replace daniel hoping to put india's skills to the test for the upcoming service the
kitchen nightmare's host temporarily makes her the head chef thankfully she was able to send
out every item ordered on the menu swiftly and everyone seemed to love their meals post
kitchen nightmares Ramsay returned weeks later and was disappointed to see that the restaurant
had closed down while india was later offered work experience by Ramsay at a place called
boxwood mcnally reportedly became a 200 pound tonight hooker according to the sun newspaper
