hello everyone welcome back to the film inside channel in today's video we're going to discuss
some dishes that gordon ramsay actually enjoyed so sit back relax and without further ado
let's get straight into the content guys we're starting things off with the mixing bowl when
people come in here everybody knows me the customers know me and all you guys know that
people know me the best because i make it a point to making friends with customers and that's what
customers want they want to feel special situated in belmore new york the mixing bowl owned by billy
and lisa goletti was in grave danger of closing down due to the growing competition in the area
when you look at the way the russians put together you can identify instantly from the paper cloth to
the drapes to the plants the ceiling to the color that this ration really is on his last legs billy
was not only the chef but did a lot of work around the restaurant while lisa was only a waitress
once you have ramsay entered the restaurant this is what he found well this is quiet this is this
is typically all these staff one two three four how many books for lunch nobody no no eventually
he ordered this winning marathon crab cakes they are excellent an award winning what what do they
win i'll have a zucchini pancake okay and i'll go for the sad north atlantic salmon so after a
while the manager returned with the award-winning crab cake which looked anything but appetizing
it looked like a ball surrounded by orange goop well the presentation definitely didn't impress
chef ramsay but his opinion changed after he took a bite he said award winning maybe not in terms of
freshness yeah i wouldn't expect to find something so fresh in such a dreary dreadful dining room
it looks like chef ramsay was taken aback because he didn't expect to actually like the crab cakes
so with one dish down did he actually like the other dishes as well well let's find out some of
the very bland sauce just heavy soggy and vinegary no one wants to come out to lunch and stink of
garlic that's for sure after the episode aired things seemed to be going well for the business
jeff ramsey revisited the place in the first ever revisited episode and saw that the restaurant was
continuing to do well so clearly the crab cakes outshined the rest of the dishes however the
good times didn't seem to last very long since the mixing bowl closed down in january of 2009.
did you guys actually know that the restaurant was closed before filming the episode in march of 2007
the only reason it was reopened was actually because of the show crazy right so basically
the restaurant was already dead when chef ramsay got there it's actually pretty impressive that it
managed to stay open for almost two years after chef ramsay left alright so we're moving on to
the next entry being handlebar i'd just like to say that that's uh nicely seasoned very tasty and
nice melissa does a nice job situated in mount sinai new york handlebar was featured in the
second season of the show the place was owned by a couple named carolyn and billy leroy when
gordon ramsay finally arrived at the restaurant after getting lost at a fork road he was asked to
be seated immediately while the swift service was definitely great things quickly went downhill chef
ramsay was certainly left feeling confused by the sheer amount of menus that the place had to offer
but wait till you see how the chef was cooking up his steak finally when it was time to order this
is what he ordered i'll go for the soup of the day for the day i'll go for the seafood crepe as well
and then i'm gonna finish with the filet mignon fondue another thing chef ramsay noticed about
the place was dining room's empty look at the place the decor is ghastly it's so 80s even
the fish tank's been here longer than me when the food finally arrived to his table the first thing
he had was the clam chowder you won't believe what he said about it i'd just like to say that that's
nicely seasoned very tasty and nice melissa does a nice job the next dish was the seafood crepe
which contained some crab lobster and shrimp here was chef ramsay's reaction to the food how
is everything rubbery and the scallops are firm the prawns are way overcooked and the crab meat
it's plastic so it had been 20 minutes since his last order and he was still waiting on his
beef fonzu we all know that to keep chef ramsay waiting is a terrible idea finally
when the beef fonzu arrived this was ramsay's reaction it comes out looking like dog food
that was rancid pointless tasteless and a complete utter joke so overall he had a
terrible experience but the dish that shined through was the clam chowder fast forward a
little bit things took a turn for the worse when billy succumbed to his cancer in 2015.
unfortunately the restaurant closed down in early 2022 it had reopened a couple of times
with different names like skybox restaurant and sports bar and benchwarmer's tavern and grill
but nothing seemed to work and finally the shutters were pulled down for good moving
on to season three of kitchen nightmares we have bazzini honestly i mean it's just greasy bland and
you cut into the fish and it just mush in episode 3 chef ramsay visited bizzini located in richmond
new jersey when chef ramsay walked in he found out that they didn't serve during lunch hours
what kind of restaurant is that well they're already off to a bad start in the famous chef's
book that's for sure anyway when they finally did open a starving chef ramsay rushed right in
as soon as he stepped into the restaurant this was his reaction this is my nude isn't it
it's challenging my goodness me is this it yes sir wow it's like being inside a doll's house
it's uh some decor challenges here but the famous chef decided to throw a curveball at
the owner paul bazini and so the kitchen got busy preparing their signature dishes
for chef Ramsay when Chef Ramsay tasted the fettuccine this is how he reacted cold
next he tried the chicken milanese and said that's not normal for a chicken to be so hard
on to the next dish being the mushroom risotto well let's see if it tastes better than it looks
risotto strawberry no i'm a mess and absolutely disgusting the next dish was an almond-crusted
tilapia with a side of jasmine rice after trying it out Ramsay had this to say it's
just so bland honestly i mean it's just greasy bland and you cut into the fish and it just mush
nothing good so far right well things got finally better towards the end chef Ramsay ordered a slice
of new york cheesecake and a slice of carrot cake and this was his reaction to the cake have a look
first of all that is delicious awesome whose recipe is that mine can i have it no for a price
everything's yeah i'm glad you said that after Gordon Ramsay visited bizzini the restaurant did
stay open for a while but it never seemed to get any traction as there were only a few reviews on
their yelp page to make matters even worse sharing the pastry chef was probably the only good thing
about this restaurant left to start her own big goods business as an inevitable result it closed
down after the kitchen nightmares episode aired alrighty onto season 4 with zekes i mean that was
nasty what i'm struggling for here is the lack of freshness they feel taste slightly mushy which is
a big disappointment Chef Ramsay visited zeke's restaurant in new orleans to save it from closure
while he was waiting for the staff to take his order this is what he had to say about the place
wow that back wall is hideous what a mess ramsay didn't have the greatest experience with his
main course dishes he hated the frozen shrimp and found the oysters in fried chicken to be tasteless
next up he had the desserts and like bizzini it's shown brighter than everything else check out what
gordon ramsay had to say but it tastes delicious we made that e-mail it makes it but a dessert is
just not enough to revive an entire restaurant for this very reason zekes was sold and closed
in october of 2012. at the same address the new owners who purchased the restaurant started a
new one named porter and luke's they hired an experienced chef named vincent manguano
porter and luke's is open for lunch and dinner and has a moderately sized menu featuring fish
chicken and seafood so for those who come looking for zeke's restaurant they can actually check out
port and luke's instead nowadays though the place has pretty mediocre reviews with a 3.5
star review on yelp as our final entry we're going to be covering a restaurant called blackberries
hey general manager come here get that beard over here you didn't
tell me that you're dating the owner featured in the fifth season of the
show blackberries located in new jersey was in desperate need of Ramsay's help
Chef Ramsay walked into the place and this is what followed somebody having a party
no no party we're just having um lunch okay great so what did he order well take a look for uh
collard greens yes that smothered pork chop sounds delicious the mac and cheese as well please okay
the chitlins desserts how's the red velvet cake delicious okay great the first dish was a pork
chop but let's see if chef ramsay enjoyed it or not that's not some shat on my plate it's just dry
that's bland nothing seasoned there the next dish was colored greens which look like grass
thrown together on a plate but did chef ramsay like it that's bland no seasoning it's just
fried and soggy and limp as you've already seen ramsay didn't like the food at blackberries he was
actually worried that the chitlins would poison him however it looks like these restaurants saved
their best dish for last in comes the dessert to the rescue and boy did it not disappoint
chef ramsay was a big fan of what he had received to be more specific it was a delicious red velvet
cake later on down the line blackberries unfortunately closed its doors for good
in response to this the owner shelly winters posted this as a message i want to say that we
just no longer saw room for growth we were so stagnant we were barely maintaining but
unable to generate the clientele we wanted withers explained i think we gave it a good
10 years we had a wonderful time and are looking onto bigger and better things in another message
the blackberry staff said that the restaurant could not contend with an economic downturn
and struggled because of a lack of parking today the old blackberry restaurant location
is the unuevo renascera bakery reviews seem to be average but the place is pretty successful
with that we've sadly come to the end of the video hope you enjoyed it do you know any other
