hello everyone welcome back to the film insight channel in today's video we're going to cover
some of the worst kitchens to ever be featured on kitchen nightmares so sit back relax and without
further ado let's get straight into the content guys we're starting things off with the seascape
peter peter one second did you hear what i said marijuana i didn't ask you to go mop up that
[ __ ] used to doing it yeah oh that's not the right answer bud given that it first opened its
doors in 1962 seascape inn located in iceland new york is one of long island's oldest dining
establishments the restaurant owned by irene and her son peter was featured in the fourth episode
of the first season back in the day the inn was bustling with business but now it's struggling
to stay afloat here's how peter described the seascape to chef ramsay describe seascape for me
it's a titanic it was a luxury liner and it's sinking i see it as a very poorly run restaurant
at the time that the famous chef was called in peter was a million dollars in debts and was
at risk of losing the business for good 800 to a million dollars to save the seascape i don't want
my doors to close but what am i doing wrong when chef ramsay later joined the owners at the table
he almost immediately detected a bad odor in the dining area as disgusting as it may be it actually
turned out to be sewage the famous chef places an order through a waitress named marilyn who has
worked at the restaurant since 1967. that's some dedication anyway he gets some crab cakes lobster
ravioli and cajun salmon as he waits for his order he decides to inspect the place a little bit
chef ramsay finds that the decor is dated ancient and worn down the first dish to come was the crab
cakes and then came the salmon which was too dry and the lobster ravioli which wasn't fresh
when marilyn shared jeff ramsay's feedback with chef doug this was his reaction doug you make
the crab cakes here right yes are they frozen i freeze them yeah he says they taste like they're
frozen that's all really yeah chef doug was insulted that the famous chef just stepped in
and judged this food he felt it was a slap in the face of his 38 years of experience in the kitchen
later on chef ramsay was offered a baked green cookie by irene to understand a little bit more
how the restaurant operated ramsay drops in during the dinner service the majority of the
food that was served was sent right back to the kitchen as the guests were simply dissatisfied
the customers complained about a range of things from the food being cold undercooked and even
charred the famous chef found that the kitchen was a mess which hinted at a larger issue it became
increasingly clear that chef doug could care less about anyone's feedback chef doug really only had
one thing to say he may not like the way i cook he doesn't like the way i cook that's his opinion
the following morning when chef ramsay returned the walls were covered in old food
and grease it seemed like the seascape was rotting from the inside additionally he discovers that the
pesto that was previously served to him was stale and moldy irene had claimed earlier that the most
recent health department inspection was conducted less than six months ago though it's really clear
that this was a lie chef ramsay had had enough and he finally decided to confront chef doug
the famous chef takes the ignorant owners on a tour of their kitchen but all that chef doug
had to say was this to have another chef in my face about my kitchen i'm pissed off believe me
from stale bread to tainted chicken the famous chef wasn't surprised when peter said that he
wouldn't eat anything from the kitchen despite having 20 reservations for the night chef ramsay
decided to shut the place down he highlighted that it would stay closed until the kitchen was
thoroughly cleaned and sanitized jeff doug and charlie brush things off and don't even look
embarrassed about the situation chef ramsay caught them in but things were only beginning to get
heated chef ramsay prepares a dinner with fresh bass for chef doug and charlie but doug is just
too stubborn to try it you know what's nice no i'm good i just did that no i'm good thank you i
didn't try the fish that gordon had made because i i basically know what striped bass tastes like and
this is what chef ramsay had to say about that god that's the first time a guy's never tasted my food
now i'm seriously insulted the famous chef encourages peter to fire the chefs who
contributed nothing to the business they were lazy filthy headstrong and arrogant
for once peter mans up and takes a firm decision to sack both the chefs finally chef ramsay's crew
revamps the place and hires a new chef the famous chef tries his very best to polish up the menu and
improve peter's managerial skills apart from a few hiccups the guests adored the new food thankfully
the relaunch was a complete success five months later in august of 2007 seascape was sold to
new owners currently speaking it's called j and r steakhouse and the reviews seem to be pretty good
moving on to the next being casa roma get a bin get every ounce of dirt out of there
this thing here detects body fluids and look at this casa roma was featured in the seventh
episode of the third season established in 1958 casa roma was the oldest restaurant in all of
lancaster california nyla purchased the place with the help of her son jeremy she impulsively
purchased it while looking for business prospects after her divorce the mother and son duo had no
experience in the food industry while nyla had previously worked at a grocery store jeremy was
into carpet cleaning upon chef ramsay's arrival he finds the bar to be packed with customers but the
dinan restaurant was completely deserted with profits ranging anywhere between nine dollars
to 175 dollars a night the restaurant was in desperate need of chef ramsay's help in two and a
half years of running the business the owners had switched 20 chefs and it finally settled with chef
eric and sous chef drew does this mean that they finally landed on some good ones absolutely not
while waitress ashley described the food to be boring and bland here's what sous chef
drew had to say we totally are entire native chef ramji's help because there's something
that's got to be turned around about this place because it definitely is a nightmare
this man is quite the character it hurt his ego to know that chef ramsay was coming over
the judge's food this is what he said people say well he's a five star missionary chef
okay so he's got four tires and a spare kiss it means nothing to me while chef ramsay waited for
his order he noticed that the blinds were dusty and that bits of tissue scraps were
lying on the table after waiting 15 minutes for his order to arrive he decides to do this
45 minutes in chef ramsay decides to do this i might as well keep fit do
something go for job got a math coming up and what was chef eric doing check this out
when his first order finally arrived this is how it turned out tastes not even incredible any form
of flavor or texture or anything in there but what was more than anything they're just full of water
and there was more to come chef ramsay came to understand why the restaurant
wasn't making money when the famous chef confronted chef eric this is what he said
it was a bad day pal now you're pushing that enough i get it we understand that yeah it happens
you never had a bad day i do have bad days all the time actually having one today just relax
take a chill pill reload and do it again the head chef who is in the nile storms out of the room
later on when chef ramsay walks in for the dinner service the first thing he notices is a lack of
communication between the staff chef eric does things at a sluggish pace while chef jude does
things without any clarity it wasn't much of a surprise that most of the food was returned to
the kitchen for either being undercooked too dry or cold chef ramsay had seen enough and
this is what he concluded it's incredible right through those doors has to be for me
one of the worst restaurants i've ever seen in my entire cooking career and not any form of
communication between the kitchen the restaurant and management the famous chef finally urges nyla
to sack head chef eric and assures her that it would save the restaurant chef ramsay hands the
kitchen to sous chef drew expecting him to do a better job meanwhile chef ramsay found this
just made the frosting
some of the meat could have been 3 months old it would be an understatement to say that the stench
was awful he then uses a blue uv light to inspect the restrooms and discovers that bodily fluids
were splashed all over the ceiling walls and floor how disgusting honestly i've seen enough let's get
out of here nyla realizes that she needs to step things up and improve her managerial skills in
order to keep the restaurant open after a thorough facelift casa roma was relaunched as a brand new
pizzeria chef drew stepped up and delivered mouth-watering food in time however sacking
chef eric wasn't enough to save the restaurant it closed down in july of 2017. well it's quite
expected and as our last entry we have compania all your food the tortellini and veal was just
bland and watery then my grilled sausage i've never seen so much garlic in addition all my life
gordon ramsay travels to fairlawn new jersey in the ninth episode of the first season
joseph serniglia had acquired the campania restaurant 18 months before this episode was taped
yet it was already on the verge of closing up until sarniglia took over campagna the restaurant
was pretty profitable this was because serniglia was unfit to manage his staff he was very relaxed
and the staff took full advantage of this weakness at the time of filming the restaurant owned eighty
thousand dollars to suppliers and partners and was over two hundred fifty thousand dollars in debt
when chef ramsay arrived he shared his displeasure with serniglia about the fact that the restaurant
was in a strip mall as they talked the owner confused the famous chef with his weird behavior
chef ramsay tries to ignore the disturbing hand gestures made by the owner and finally places
an order as he waits for his food he can hear the staff chilling out and having fun in the kitchen
the soup is the first thing to arrive and he finds it to be quite unpleasant and bland
it is bland and tasteless the waitress tries to avoid answering chef ramsay's question about
whether the meatballs were made in the kitchen or not she finally gives in and reveals the truth
not too many people order it as much no so no thank goodness you're welcome
the ravioli was disappointing and smothered in a sauce full of garlic garlic everywhere big big big
chunks of it everywhere yeah yeah yeah the chicken was equally as disappointing being sweet and dry
it's dry it's sweet and it's cool chef ramsay found that the kitchen was pretty well maintained
when he had a look at the walk-in refrigerator however he found this i don't understand
what's going through his mind to have this fridge stocked with all these ingredients
and no customers to cook for considering how few customers the restaurant had there was really
no point in stocking on food for weeks during the dinner service chef ramsay was shocked to find out
that the restaurant doubled up as a high school playground the staff was unruly untamed and noisy
and exactly why was this happening well it's pretty clear that they were overstaffed
as a result chef ramsay had to do this staff costs right who's going home
sorry guys thanks for coming but thanks but no thanks the famous chef found flustered
customers reaching to order food from the outside as they waited despite chef ramsay
trying his very best to bring some order into the kitchen the dinner service was disastrous
the other major problem was the portion sizes due to this the cost of food and supplies were
completely inflated chef ramsay confronts sereniglia about the unnecessarily large
portions of each meal the famous chef explains to him that doing business this way is as good
as throwing money down the drain visibly upset the owner goes into denial and asks chef ramsay not to
embarrass him in front of the customers after a quick talk with melissa sarniglia's chef ramsay
understands that the couple's mounting bills were causing a strain on their relationship
the following day chef ramsay shows the kitchen crew how to prepare and present food okay chicken
calf the drum and the the thigh and sit them on top of one another so it just looks a little bit
neater yeah jeff ramsay introduces meatballs as the new signature dish they later set out into
the community to advertise new jersey's best meatballs with samples and leaflets
stop on in and have some dinner one of these days when ramsay and joe eventually have a
one on one joe reveals that they've lost 120 thousand dollars in the past 18 months
said nigli admits that in total he owes two hundred thousand dollars and chef ramsay advises
him to start taking things seriously overnight the restaurant gets a makeover with a more
contemporary appearance a larger banner outside and a better dining space a new stove and smaller
plates were added to minimize serving sizes the trademark meatballs from the new menu are included
in both the starters and the entrees Chef Ramsay uses a bingo competition to inspire the team
each server stands a chance of winning 100 if they manage to sell every dish on the menu the
staff collaborates pretty well and the relaunch night comes to a successful conclusion Chef
Ramsay complements the staff for their excellent performance they serve 203 guests and earned 7 500
which is triple what they made the previous night midnight say we took in about 7 500 we made three
times what we made last night after Chef Ramsay's visit business at campagna significantly increased
later serniglia finished second in 2009's bergen county ultimate chef competition however destiny
had other plans for him in september of 2010 said niglia's body was found in the hudson river after
an apparent suicide investigating officials said it was a suicide he died from drowning and blunt
impacts he jumped from a height he had sold the business just eight days prior to his death to
campania holding corp however companion closed down for good in january of 2011. may the man
