hello everyone hope you're having the most wonderful day today welcome to the Film Insight
channel for today's video we're going to discuss some more of the worst restaurants to be featured
on 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 dylan's for this season one episode Gordon Ramsay heads over
to a struggling restaurant called dylan's to rescue it from closure opened by a man
named muhammad he opened the business to make a new life for his family oddly he's hired three
different managers namely a general manager named martin an operations manager named andrew and a
floor manager named khan despite hiring so many people to lead his restaurant to success dylan's
is struggling and is losing well over 20 thousand dollars a month desperately needing some guidance
before things fall apart muhammad decided to call out to Ramsay for some aid upon his
eventual arrival Ramsay sits down to test the food and is confused with the theme of the restaurant
according to martin the business is an american irish restaurant with an indian-ness to it leaving
the famous chef feeling even more confused than before after swatting away some pesky flies Ramsay
scans the giant menu and orders a collection of dishes starting with a vegetarian appetizer
the kitchen nightmare's host has to send it back because they embarrassingly added some meat to it
next he receives the curry that he ordered which was garnished with a rotten tomato and a beef buna
dish that uses lamb instead of beef heading into the kitchen to give his feedback on his dreadful
meal ramsay expresses that he feels sick and the chef admits that he might have served him some
lamb that was old by accident observing the dinner service later on the famous chef notices that the
customers are just as confused about what to pick off the random menu meanwhile in the kitchen the
chefs decide to put a huge tub of chicken on the floor but Ramsay tells them to move it since it
could be unhygienic and dangerous the worst part is despite the fact that there's an abundance of
management present they're barely doing anything to lead the staff appalled with what he was seeing
Ramsay gets into an argument with the general manager who he calls a fake leaving and returning
the following day Ramsay inspects the kitchen and finds tons of dead flies a disgusting looking
hamburger as well as rotting meat and vegetables ordering the staff to shut things down the famous
chef invites some exterminators and a group of professional cleaners to sanitize the place
finally after changing the menu to feature modern indian cuisine renaming the restaurant to purnima
and giving the business a complete makeover they finally got the second chance they needed by the
end of the episode Ramsay advises muhammad to fire one of his managers and martin shockingly
quits after overhearing the conversation post kitchen nightmares martin decided
to sue Ramsay's production company for three million dollars for supposedly ruining his career
he also tried to prevent the episode from being aired but the case was thrown out of court since
it had no merit whatsoever unfortunately while the restaurant managed to stay open for three whole
years after being rescued it closed down in 2009 in purnima's place a business called characters
bar and lounge opened up and they completely redid the place it has pretty good reviews rocking
three and a half stars on yelp with most of the praise going towards the food and drinks in yet
another season one episode gordon ramsay heads over to campania to bring it back on its feet
owned by joseph serniglia he purchased the business back in 2006 and after only a year
he's already at risk of losing his restaurant the main reason is because he's way too laid back and
this reflects itself in the way staff behaves to make matters even worse the kitchen is in complete
disrepair since they use broken ovens as storage and have a walk-in freezer with broken handles
being over 250 thousand dollars in debt sub [ __ ] decided to call out to ramsey for some
professional guidance when he finally arrives the famous chef is unimpressed to see that the
restaurant is in a strip mall after being greeted by the owner who weirdly points a lot ramsay sits
down to taste test the food ordering a tortellini that tastes bland ravioli that's drenched in sauce
and a chicken dish that's very dry ramsay is left feeling disappointed heading into the kitchen soon
after to give his feedback the famous chef lets the cooks know that they are awful at making
italian food inspecting around ramsay notices that the kitchen is surprisingly clean but it's
shocked to find that the fridge is loaded with food normally fridges are filled for fully booked
restaurants but for ones like campagna who barely have any customers it's a massive waste of money
observing the dinner service later on ramsay takes note of the fact that the restaurant is
quite overstaffed and gets the owner to boot three employees to cut costs like usual the
service was disastrous since the kitchen struggled to send down orders and produced low quality food
what's more the portions they gave their customers were so incredibly large that most of them asked
for takeaway bags ramsay points out that this is yet another reason why the owner's losing
tons of money since he's giving away food for them to eat the next day instead of getting
them to actually return following the piss-poor service the kitchen nightmare's host posed the
owner aside to lecture him on the waist serniglia expresses that the restaurant is known for its big
portions and that the customer is expected when they come in leaving and returning the following
day ramsay meets with the owner's wife melissa who shockingly reveals that they will lose their house
if the restaurant fails hoping to rebrand the restaurant the famous chef creates a new meatball
signature dish and heads into town to promote new jersey's best meatballs with samples and flyers
with the help of a branded truck and t-shirts ramsay and the campania team traveled around
new jersey to market the business before moving into the renovations ramsay has one final talk
with sedniglia telling him to step up if he wants the business to succeed working overnight ramsay
revamped the menu gave the dining room a beautiful makeover and added new equipment to the kitchen
post kitchen nightmares the business was reported to have drastically improved thanks
to the changes made overall the reviews on yelp and trip advisor were relatively positive after
the rescue with many praising the food but others complaining about the wait times wanting to move
on to other ventures zerniglia decided to sell the restaurant to company holding corp in 2010.
tragically several days after this deal was made he decided to take his own life by jumping off
the george washington bridge ultimately the place closed down in 2011 and a restaurant called sage
restaurant opened up in its place may he rest in peace the secret garden as our final entry we're
going to discuss a restaurant that gordon ramsay attempted to rescue called the sacred garden
owned by a french chef named michel baldwin he's been running the restaurant for over seven years
however the business is currently three hundred thousand dollars in debt which is only climbing
and their customer base is non-existent according to the restaurant sous chef devin the owner has
a massive ego and is extremely hard to work with since the secret garden was on its last
leg valdev decided to call out to ramsay and his team for some help upon his eventual rival
the famous chef struggles to find his way into the building since the front door is shut tight
eventually finding a way in ramsey notices that the restaurant is practically a ghost town but
at least the owner is present looking around the kitchen nightmare's host is unimpressed with the
outdated decor synthetic flowers and paper doilies on the table hungry he immediately sits down to
order some food and scans the menu quickly picking some dishes getting a strawberry salad with garlic
shrimp that were cold and undercooked and a steak that was tough and tasteless ramsay was left with
the worst first impression sharing his criticisms about his experience with the owner he tells him
that the dishes were boring badly cooked and bizarre due to baldavid's massive ego he doesn't
take feedback very well so ramsay leaves out of irritation returning the following day the famous
chef heads into the kitchen to inspect the round and is disgusted with what he sees aside from
finding moldy food in the fridge there's maggots squirming around which sends ramsay rushing to
the bathroom to vomit incapable of admitting his faults the owner gets defensive and points out
that no kitchen is perfect angry with how filthy the place was ramsay forces the staff to deep
clean the area before he can proceed with the rescue soon after they were done the fema chefs
attempted to observe the dinner service which predictably went horribly the reason for this was
that the dishes on the menu were way too complex and long to make leaving the customers to wait for
a while later on into the episode Ramsay decides to board up and place foreclosure signs in front
of the restaurant to give the owner a little shock when valdavid finally arrives he's clearly angry
and feels worried that his patrons will think that the place is actually closed Ramsay reminds
him that if he doesn't decide to change things soon his business will be boarded up for real
finally after getting everyone on the same page Ramsay was ready to move into the renovation phase
starting by introducing a new menu which had some resistance from valdavid the famous chef
also revamped the dining room and modernized it with a new decor months after the taping of
this episode the owner decided it would be a good idea to revert back to the old menu interestingly
enough he was accused of putting up false reviews on yelp to boost his restaurant's overall rating
but this wasn't confirmed unsurprisingly the restaurant closed down in march of 2010 since
the owner sold the place to someone else nowadays voldavid owns a restaurant called custom pie
which has pretty solid reviews well that'll be all for today's video here on the channel i do
