Hello everyone hope you're having the greatest of days 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 mill street bistro Gordon Ramsay heads over to mail street
bistro in a season 6 episode to bring it back on its feet after purchasing a livestock farm jonaghi
decided to open up a bistro nearby since he thought it would complement his ranch nagi thinks
that the place is a fine dining restaurant but according to his own staff he's just delusional
none of the food they serve is actually even fresh with the restaurant chef tom admitting that it's
all frozen garbage what's more servers rebecca and amy aren't happy about the way their boss treats
the staff since he's rude to everyone around him oblivious as to why his business is failing nagi
calls out to Ramsay and his team for some much needed help meeting with the owner later on at
the ranch he tells Ramsay that he's a trained chef and was mentored by european experts wanting to
put his claims to the test the famous chef heads into the dining room and scans the menu for a meal
most of what he receives is either too greasy clearly frozen very bitter or just plain awful
leaving Ramsay feeling disappointed the kitchen nightmare's host was as ruthless as ever with his
criticisms dubbing the food as a farm to garbage can returning for the dinner service later on as
well as to give his opinions on the food he wasn't very impressed and didn't take any more than two
bites of anything comically the owner reveals that the fresh catch of the day is actually
frozen then gets defensive about his food which prompts ramsay to tell him that he's in denial
forgetting that he hyped himself up as a culinary expert navy tells ramsay that he's
not really a chef in response to this the famous chef points out that the owner is very pretentious
and is short-changing people by charging high for low-quality meats overall the dinner service was
a complete disaster since nagi screamed at a staff which was heard by patrons and a customer managed
to find a stone in her ravioli which is crazy heading into the storage room later on ramsay
finds meat without any dates that were half frozen half thawed as well as frozen cheese vegetables
oysters and shrimp what's worse he even sees the owner put raw onions rather than caramelized ones
in a french soup that was about to be sent out fast forward to near the end of this
two-part rescue Ramsay managed to get the owner to apologize to the staff and step up a little bit
since the makeover wasn't needed for this restaurant the famous chef decided to overhaul the
menu so it had better prices and delicious fresh dishes months after the taping of this episode
nike changed the restaurant's menu but some of Ramsay's changes were kept before the episode even
aired the owner changed the name to maple city tavern which would be a family friendly restaurant
but it didn't get good reviews almost two years after Ramsay was done with the play snagi sued
Ramsay's production company for missing items and damage to the restaurant he somehow managed
to settle 900 euros for the claim since a few pots and high quality meats did in fact disappear
considering the fact that the restaurant was doing very poorly and 90 felt like it was time
to sell up maple city tavern was purchased for 140 thousand dollars in march of 2016. el greco in a
season five episode gordon ramsay heads over to el greco in austin texas to rescue it from closure
owned by jake constantinides and his mother athena she invested all of her money to get the place up
and running while the business was thriving in the beginning things have declined over the last year
which has forced athena to work overtime athena and her sister kiki come into the restaurant
at 6am every morning to prepare for the service while jay comes in late and barely cares anymore
aside from the drop in profits the food quality and morale has dropped significantly which is why
the restaurant is so close to failing without much of a choice the owners call out to ramsay is a
last-ditch effort to save the restaurant upon his eventual rival ramsay meets with jake and athena
and the three sit down to discuss the business's issues even though jake claims to be clueless
about what's wrong with his restaurant his mother immediately points out that he's the problem
as a result jay calls his mother a nag and she claps back by saying she'd rather be dead than
continuing to put up with the man that he's become all jig does nowadays is stay home playing video
games only comes to work for three hours a day maximum and is very rude to everyone around him
following this tense conversation ramsay orders a collection of dishes that come
back tasting dreadful and bland giving his brutal criticisms to the owners and
kitchen staff he tells them that there was nothing authentic about what they served
noticing that jake cared very little about what was just said ramsay pulls athena aside and tells
her that her son lacks passion but he hopes that it's not too late for him to turn things around
observing the dinner service later on ramsay is shocked to hear that the place is fully booked
but it's only because the town caught word that he was at the restaurant meeting with diego the line
cook who supposedly has 14 years of experience he's disappointed to see him putting meal after
meal in the microwave oddly jake defends the use of microwaves by saying that he's only reheating
pre-made food to speed up the process which deeply offends ramsay the famous chef tells him that he
needs to respect the culinary arts and that what he's doing is not real cooking leaving out of
frustration and returning early in the morning the following day ramsay notices athena and kiki doing
their prep as usual even though jake had promised to come in early to help out he instead came in
the middle of the day and called his mother and aunt nagi for being angry justifiably athena
and kiki both gang up on the negligent owner and criticize him for being colossally lazy
getting the group to calm down ramsay points out that they desperately need to shift things around
if they want the business to thrive after coming to an agreement that jake would come in early and
that the sisters would stop nagging him the famous chef was finally able to start changing things
working closely with the el greco team to create new and authentic greek dishes the staff seemed
to be in love with the new menu after sampling it soon after ramsay was done he moved into giving
the dining room a makeover by putting white and blue accents everywhere fast forward to after
the taping of this episode some progress seemed to be made since there was a lot of positive feedback
from the community although since their debts were way too large the restaurant was forced to close
down in december of 2011. one of the employees claimed that jake sped up the business's downfall
by cutting corners on Ramsay's menu and continue to be difficult to work with i guess you can
say some restaurants are too far gone to be saved charlie's italian bistro as our final entry we're
going to cover a restaurant that gordon ramsay attempted to rescue called charlie's italian
bistro after working at the restaurant as a waitress for several years tatyana liva was given
an opportunity to buy charlie's and did so with the help of her mom pat and sister val putting
their house as collateral to make this happen tatiana only contributed a measly one thousand
dollars when it was her idea to buy the business in the first place for sentimental reasons once
tatiana got complete control over the restaurant she refused to change anything since she doesn't
know how to properly run a restaurant the building is empty most days which is why they're close to
closure what's worse the owner drinks wine on the job and is disrespectful to everyone around
her which makes the work environment very toxic with little options left tatyana calls out to
ramsay and his team for some much needed guidance arriving later on ramsay meets with tatiana who's
hysterically nervous at meeting him which is pretty uncomfortable to say the very least
when asking who charlie was tatiana explains that he was the original owner but she expresses
that she didn't have the heart to change the name soon after ramsay pulls val and pat aside
and the three discuss the financial burden the businesses put on them understanding that they
could lose their homes if the restaurant fails ramsay felt a lot more pressure to make this work
hoping to taste test the food ramsay ordered some toasted ravioli which was raw a fruity
dimare that wasn't fresh a chicken pizza that was too doughy and a lasagna that tasted strange
leaving the famous chef feeling disappointed heading into the kitchen to give the staff
his feedback he hilariously labels the food as hideous and dogs in the restaurant's chef casimiro
asking to see the mussels that were used in one of his dishes he notices that they're store-bought
and frozen which appalls him following tatiana to the freezer he finds even more store-bought
products including meatballs they assume they made themselves observing the dinner service later on
ramsay is angered by the way casimiro makes his meatballs and sauce his sous chef daniella seems
to be the only one who knows what she's doing since she actually makes meatballs that taste good
even though ramsay insists that they should serve her meatballs casimiro makes it clear
that they need to do it his way his way included half-burning meatballs in a pan while making
excuses that he's too busy to watch them lo and behold all the food that was sent out was labeled
as bland by the customers and they were completely unsatisfied encouraging the owner to let go of the
past and prioritize her family whose houses were on the line tatiana tearfully fired casimiro who's
been with the restaurant for 10 years after the service post kitchen nightmares the owner
supposedly hired a new head chef and things were looking great ultimately though the place closed
down in july of 2012 which is odd since the place had positive reviews after ramsay left
