hello everyone hope you're having an amazing day today welcome to the Film Insight channel
for today's video we're going to discuss some more restaurants featured on Kitchen Nightmares
and reveal if they're still open so without further ado let's get right into the content guys
bobs owned by husband and wife mark and lisa barefoot boss was purchased by the couple in 2007.
since they'd always worked in the industry they thought they'd easily be able to turn a profit
with this restaurant while this may be true during the summer with the place being busy with tourists
business declines during the winter as a result their yearly profits were really
low which forced them to find creative ways to save money like how they fired their chef and
made mark cook in the kitchen while lisa ran the front of the house this inevitably put a
heavy strain on their relationship and the once happy couple were being pushed closer to divorce
they really needed Gordon Ramsay's help and fast upon Ramsay's arrival he speaks
with the owner separately mark claims that his wife doesn't love him anymore and that
she only works at the restaurant a few days a week lisa on the other hand denies his claim
saying that she's worried about the winter season and is the only one working hard though this lie
is put to rest when Ramsay meets with the staff who confirms that lisa is barely at the restaurant
testing the restaurant's food the kitchen nightmare's host expresses that it's disgusting
unseasoned and soggy what's worse while observing the piss-poor dinner service Ramsay notices that
the restaurant hired a psychic to do readings on customers for extra cash how out of place when
chef Ramsay examines the restaurant's food storage he finds 25 old pizzas and oven trays that haven't
been cleaned in a long time in order to save this disaster the famous chef brings in a business
consultant to get the couple back on track he also makes changes to the menu and decor to give
barefoot bobs exactly what it needs to thrive while there were tons of complications during
the relaunch things eventually got back on track and the customers were loving their experience
following the show's intervention the restaurant reverted to their old menu since they felt it was
too different for the locals they also expressed feelings of wanting to bring back old decor but
you could only imagine what all this reversing did reviews were very mixed in the following
months but most gave the place one to two stars on yelp for bad service and poor food quality it
should go without saying but the place closed down in december of 2016 and was done very abruptly
there wasn't even an announcement on social media it just died miss jean's southern cuisine
jean gold a retired teacher opened miss jean's southern cuisine over a decade ago after some
members of her church praised her food and encouraged her to open her own restaurant
while gold can be a very kind and loving woman when customers complain about her food she accuses
them of lying oddly she believes that her staff are to blame for the issues present since they're
supposedly lazy but the staff expresses that they're constantly shouted out for no reason
aside from this toxic dynamic gold is deep in debt and has invested all of her savings into the
restaurant only for it to be empty most nights in desperate need of some professional guidance she
reaches out to gordon ramsay in hopes that he can revive her dying business approaching ramsay with
a peach cobbler at his hotel gold expresses that her food is an 8 out of 10 and the biggest problem
is her staff when they arrive at the restaurant ramsay's shocked to see that the staff isn't
there to greet him some were found either eating out back or just smoking gathering the staff to
have a discussion the cook charniels tells ramsay that their boss is mean and has an attitude but
he really doesn't believe them ready to taste the food he ordered some pork chops ribs and
mac and cheese which all come back tasting either too salty very bland or simply being overcooked
during his observation of the dinner service many customers send their food back which leads to gold
breaking down surprisingly though the staff rally around her with support to really help the owner
wake up he shows her a film he made that featured testimonials from customers who won't return since
they felt they were mistreated feeling really apologetic she tells everyone that from now on
there's going to be a new miss gene and it was a really heartwarming moment chef ramsay was finally
able to make some valuable changes he doubled the restaurant's capacity made some fun changes
to the menu and made jean the head chef the mayor even attended their launch and he alongside the
patrons were incredibly impressed with the changes after the episode air jean was rewarded by the
mayor for her years of service to the community and june 3rd officially became miss jean's day
technically the original restaurant closed down but was moved to a new location which mostly has
positive reviews they have a solid and a half stars on yelp nino's italian restaurant in this
episode of the show ramsay goes over to a 54 year old italian restaurant in long beach california
owned by ingen vincenzo cristiano nino's italian restaurant was opened in 1958 and was where their
children nino karina and michael practically grew up once they got older they became all employees
and after their parents retired nino became the head of the business this annoyed his brother
michael to a large degree since nino spends most of the day in his office watching television
with a lack of management things quickly went downhill and the restaurant was only losing
customers and money close to having their business and for good they urgently reach out to the
legendary chef ramsay when he finally arrives he gathers the staff and he tries to get them to rate
their own food which they respond with it being good additionally nino comes out and claims that
he works hard which causes a huge heated argument after things finally calm down ramsay puts the
restaurant's claims to the test and orders some food while he waits nino goes on about his heavy
cleaning regime and chef ramsay ironically finds gum and cobwebs under his table hilarious as soon
as the food comes back the kitchen nightmare's host quickly labels the meal as dreadful since
everything was wet mushy and bland clearly this angers nino who refuses to believe that the food
was bad and starts to curse at ramsay unimpressed with the food ramsay goes to inspect their kitchen
and finds rotting mushrooms frozen meatballs pasta left in water unscaled salmon and more to kick
some sense in to nino chef ramsay boards up the front of the restaurant to help him realize that
if things don't change he really will go out of business it seemingly did the trick because nino
began to take things more seriously making changes to the menu and decor the customers really seemed
to enjoy the food during their relaunch weeks after ramsay made his changes michael seemingly
distanced himself from the restaurant but nino stepped up and started to be more responsible
interestingly enough they used their old menu during lunch service and gordon's new one at
dinner with time they completely reverted to their old menu which made a lot of the reviews on yelp
very mixed getting an average three stars across 238 reviews people complain about slow service and
poor food quality though after their father vincenzo cristiano passed away things went
downhill when they officially closed down in 2016. blackberries charlie withers figured that
since she was successful in catering owning her own restaurant would be a piece of cake
this is when she decided to purchase blackberries with the help of her mother's retirement fund
sadly things didn't go according to plan and they were 200 thousand dollars in debt and this dire
situation called for the help of gordon ramsay ramsay arrives feeling impressed by the quaint
little town but the same couldn't be said about the restaurant entering blackberries he's greeted
by the general manager james and ramsay jokes about how he doesn't look old enough to be a
manager eventually he finally gets the chance to meet shelley who surprisingly explains that james
is her fiance looking to measure the food quality chef ramsay orders some collard greens pork chops
mac and cheese chitlins and red velvet cake when everything finally returns it's either very dry
overcooked or bland the chitlins were so bad that it made ramsay throw up in the bathroom
the only thing that ramsay genuinely liked which is rare in kitchen nightmares is mary's red velvet
cake once the famous chef returns that same evening he finds the corpse of a mouse inside
the restaurant's entrance nasty both owners accuse the kitchen nightmare's host of planting the mouse
there which makes him walk out concerned that he was going to stop helping james chases after
chef ramsay and persuades him to stay later on a staff meeting is held and everyone seems to agree
that the biggest problem is shelley who always has to be in control of everything an employee
named duane begins to express his opinions and shelly gets so angry that she tells him to leave
the clear problem was a lack of communication after things were settled between the staff and
owners ramsey was finally able to make some changes to the menu and general aesthetic
weeks after ramsay's visit shelly began to see some success as a result of the changes
and fully embraced the new blackberries however as the months passed the reviews on yelp became
very mixed getting two and a half stars on yelp many complained about the fighting in the kitchen
and expressed that the food and service are a hit or miss since things weren't going very
well blackberries closed down in march of 2013 but not without notifying the public
