winham robert irvine travels all the way to winham new hampshire in a season 2 episode
to turn the chatterbox when i'm around purchased by lynne malone with the life insurance money she
received after her husband died from cancer she is now 500 thousand dollars in debt thinking the
chatterbox would be a reliable source of income for her family and a great place of employment
it's actually close to closure desperately needing some guidance lynn called out to the legendary
chef irvine in hopes that he could rescue her failing business upon his arrival the famous chef
is impressed with the fact that the restaurant is very clean but he thinks that the core is awful
meeting with lynn she explains that there are breakfast and lunch place then introduces her sons
shane and tristan oddly irvine notices that the servers chew gum during service and gather at the
counter to chat and gossip which gives the worst impression during the lunch service the customers
complain about how the food is burnt and tastes like it's canned wanting to test the food for
himself everything is either freezer burned unseasoned or overcooked finding the cheese
sauce to be disappointing he discovers that it's a cheese slice and milk which is seriously lazy
confronting their chef shane about the terrible food quality irvine asks why they don't make
things from scratch to which he explains that they don't have the time or training to do so
later talking to lynn's sons it becomes clear that the biggest problem is a lack of leadership and
communication they reveal that their mother comes in super early to clean the restaurant since her
staff can be bothered to do it themselves but she doesn't discipline them through some discussion
about what could be added to the existing menu lin's son shane reveals that he has his own recipe
in essence it's a roasted red pepper alfredo which chef irvine shockingly thinks is extremely
delicious hoping to help with the cost of things irvine tells lynn that she should spend no more
than three to five thousand on bags of ice 15 000 on advertising and 20 000 on ingredients a year
if she wanted to turn a profit highlighting the importance of knowing costs irvine thinks
she would be doing much better if she kept track of important fees after seemingly resolving all
the issues present the restaurant impossible host was finally ready to begin the makeover revealing
the beautiful changes to the malone family they are absolutely ecstatic with a new restaurant
relaunching soon after while things didn't go extremely smooth they were able to turn it
around and satisfy the customers fast forward to a few months after irvine left the reviews
on yelp seemed to be very mixed and lynn had some very interesting explanations as to why
this was the case expressing that the makeover was mostly cosmetic and didn't focus much on improving
managerial skills she felt lost without irvine around lynne wasn't sure how to take command
of her staff but she tried learning on her own although despite her efforts chatterbox closed
down in january of 2013 after a car drove into the restaurant deciding not to reopen it's been
closed ever since what a crazy reason to have to close down ana maria's restaurant visiting
anna maria's in dunmore pennsylvania chef robert irvine was prepared to rescue it from closure
meeting with the owner mary sileo and her son tucker who have owned the business for over 20
years he's revealed that the business used to be booming however the past two years have been
a struggle with the restaurant barely ever being able to get six customers a day according to mary
she thinks that the declining economy and rise of food costs are the reason for the lack of profits
on top of this mary is not always able to be in the restaurant since her husband is
in poor health and always needs to be taken to appointments though it becomes very clear to
irvine that ana marias is failing for completely different reasons for one upon entering the famous
chef noticed that the wallpaper was peeling off and that the space is oddly decorated
tucker expresses that he wanted to revamp the restaurant's decor for the longest time but his
mother is too stubborn to do so inviting some locals to observe the service they're instantly
unimpressed with the old-fashioned theme sitting down himself irvine attempts to order some food to
which his server dana tells him that the kitchen is so filthy that she's afraid to show customers
getting someone to take a look at the kitchen irvine is disgusted with what he sees and stops
the service for the day finding a ton of food safety violations he sees fish and veal being
stored together in the fridge open meat containers contamination filthy chopping boards and plenty of
dirt and grime rather than work on the new menu the kitchen had to first be deep cleaned which
was so nasty that it made irvine sick following a horrible cleaning experience the famous chef
sets a cleaning schedule to ensure that the kitchen stays sanitary walking down into the
basement he notices that it's horribly filthy but tucker promises to clean it himself after listing
out some new items that he was going to add to the menu Irvine was finally ready to renovate
upon ana maria's eventual relaunch things went smoothly and the customers were pleased with the
changes made after mary's husband passed away in late 2013 the restaurant ended up closing
down but it was mostly due to the fact that mary reversed all the changes made dell's restaurant
as a quick little final entry we're going to get into a business called dell's restaurant
that Robert Irvine decided to help while dells used to always be packed now they're struggling
to make some revenue and have to compete with the 30 other restaurants in the area urgently needing
the help of a professional to stand out they reach out to Robert Irvine for some much needed change
upon his arrival he's unimpressed with the cheap tablecloths the old carpet and the overall decor
testing out the food Irvine is disgusted with the wedding soup feels like the gnocchis are
like clay and the pesto is completely tasteless confronting the owner marianne she expresses
that they're forced to use frozen ingredients but that there's nothing wrong with the taste
following his horrible meal Irvine meets with a designer who wants to give the restaurant an
italian theme but marianne fears change holding a staff meeting later on they admit that their
boss shouts too much which results in them often being scared of her acting very defensively to
the comments marian gets very upset and begins to argue with the staff despite all this jeff irvine
decided to read out some customer reviews to help marianne realize that it wasn't just her staff
admittedly she realized that she's lost it thanks to this realization the restaurant impossible host
decided that it was finally time to revamp the restaurant following the changes made things went
very smoothly and everyone including marianne was happy however despite the fact that their
sales went up temporarily after the show aired the owners decided to close it down well that'll
