RESTAURANT OWNER REACTS TO *KITCHEN NIGHTMARES* (Charlie's)

[@FlubbedPig]

Yeah, I believe Gordon has gone on record saying how fucking depressing this series is for him in retrospect because of how many places just fell right back into old habits, threw out the new furnishings they gave them, and just all around did not last.

[@Revkor]

well some of these were around 2008 so the some them had no change even if they kept the changes.

[@filipvadas7602]

To be fair, most of these places were baaically on the edge of bankrupcy before Gordon ever showed up or the owners were so incompetent there was nothing ANYONE could do Sometimes its just better to let nature take its course and let the ship sink.

[@ma.2089]

Threw out? Didn’t even sell them?? It makes me angry. You have someone who has done everything better then you have ever done and ego and laziness makes them believe it’s alright to waste a chance that many others would use. That said, for every miserable person, there’s many who take advantage of it and do better. Hotel Chester and Layla’s riverside lodge from HH and the lobster place from NJ episode are some stand outs

[@jordanwhite8718]

It’s something I heard from a lot of people work and jobs. We need a lot of empathy. Social work, nursing, being a therapist. The sad truth is I think people really have to learn when to cut somebody loose and let them fail. Otherwise, you’re just gonna get overwhelmed by all the misery of watching people fail, despite your best efforts to help them. Sometimes the kid actually needs to touch the hot stove and burn their hands before they learn. I know that’s how it was with me. Sorry about the typos. I’m using Siri dictation and it doesn’t always do words good.

[@bigjimfrom1976]

The wrong patterns of thought were so embedded in so many of these owners that it's just not realistic it could be fixed with a 3-day whirlwind visit from a celebrity chef. It would take weeks, months... if it were even possible at all. If the owners even want to change their practices. Which, if we're being honest, most of them don't. They just want to keep doing what they've always been doing, but have it make more money.

[@mcmontgomery420]

R.I.P. to Gigi, she was a good friend of mine and taken too soon from an epileptic seizure. She wanted to be an actress and I’m glad to see you react to this because she was so excited about being on this show. It will forever keep her memory alive. I’ve been watching your kitchen nightmare commentaries and I’m glad to see you cover this episode. Thank you.

she's paying him and he's laughing at how bad the business is and refusing to cook. I knew a guy like that at my old job, anyone would ask him to move a tote and dump in he said no i'm not gonna do that. If the totes weren't dumped at the end of the shift sanitation would be yelling at us. I hated working with him because he'd refuse to dump the totes and since the others didn't want to get yelled at they dealt with it. He was also constantly late to the line, saying he was smoking, but there were other smokers on the line and they were back on time. He didn't care, he had seniority and knew they weren't gonna fire him and the idea of getting a write up was a joke to him. He had that same attitude if you tried to call him out he says "you do it"

I wasn't even trying to discourage her or anything, just to prevent her from being one of these owners. She didn't like people to take her out of that rose-coloured glasses fantasy, I guess.

Taco. Got me wondering how Alicia got the money for her 2.

[@quietone2674]

TACO Bar Rescue is absolutely worth a watch. My mom and I joke that Jon Taffer must have mob connections. Also, there's an episode with a horse in the bar. And you gotta check out La Galleria 33. It is the craziest two-parter Gordon has ever done, but it is amazing. And they lasted a really long time after the episode too, long enough for it to be considered one of his few success stories.

A lot of people who started watching kitchen nightmares by Amy Bakery Company don't realizes that soo many other episodes that can really upset them. Yes Amy Bakery Company episode are insane but at least it's entertaining, then when you watching other episodes like this one, Dillon or others then you realizes the range emotion you had. The incompetence, stupidity, laziness of peoples in this show is just outrageous and i think that's what make this show iconic.

This one is a testament to why the phrase "God bless the child that has their own" isn't just something a parent says to dismiss their kids' wants.

Codeword Tacos! Honestly I think the gold medal for Worst Chef on Kitchen Knightmares has to go to Daniel from Piccolo Teatro. Not only was he terrible, couldn’t even handle an all vegetarian menu, not only was he a slob with a dirty kitchen and rancid old inventory… when he realized he was getting fired he tried to force his way back into the Kitchen and went for a knife. Gordon had to manhandle & disarm Daniel and forcibly evict him from the property.

Tasting History did a video where he made chef boiardee from scratch using original recipe (plus one for tomato sauce, at least I think it was the tomato sauce, since the recipe didn't include how to make the sauce itself) If i recall correctly he liked it a lot more compared to today's stuff... I think I may go and get the recipes from the vid and make it myself as well

[@blueishgreen76]

He used a sauce recipe from the Chef's family cookbook and was likely a reasonable guess for the original. Keep in mind that the OG kits were basically canned sauce and canned parmesan with dry spaghetti. The result would have been vastly superior to modern canned pasta. (The tasting history recipe is fantastic, but the amount of sauce is double what is needed relative to the amount of spaghetti cheese and butter. )

bar rescue is very much worth checking out, though it is a bit more played up than kitchen nightmares. but it is still very amusing to watch, and there are some amazingly insane things, like... horse poop on the floor in the bar, just walking into the kitchen at a bar and making your own pizza and walking out again without the owners noticing it, and several people getting seriously ill from drinking the booze or eating the food. and i think it would be fun to hear your thoughts about some of the bars they got on that show.

I have a soft spot in my heart for failures like Tatiana. Had I just a little more self confidence, I'd be like her. She was probably a teen when she started working there, was really impressed by the chef under Charley and just had rose tinted glasses. He became a legacy feature of the restaurant and is an example of why most restaurant staff gets rotated out shortly after a new owner comes in. (At least in my neck of the woods.) She idolized him, thinking he was the magic of the restaurant back in the day.

27:15 (taco) I’m currently working at a restaurant as a dish monkey. And there are many times where as I’m busy cleaning, I will see the owner and her husband walking around with a clipboard, checking to see what more food stuff they need to stock up on. What they’re low on what they’re out of and whether or not one of them is going to need to make a quicker run to the store to get some stuff. They are always busy making sure they have all the supplies needed to run the restaurant.

[@darkshotmk3]

Ok for italian cooking. If you make super tiny meatballs you can boil in salted water to cook. And then finish them in the sauce. But meat balls that size with no seasoning in the meat. No absoulutly not

[@UltimateGamerCC]

as of 2024, of all the Kitchen Nightmares episodes, only 15 are still active today, 1 with completely new owners. that being said, there are many businesses that managed to survive for years after their Episodes. so if anyone claims that Gordon did nothing good, they're professional haters, as Gordon did what he could for businesses that were months to weeks from closing. as for Tatiyana i hope that she feels bad for how badly she screwed her Mama over, granted she had the ability to say no, but she willingly gave away her home to her spoiled daughter and that's tragic.

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

there are lots of Tatianas in the film industry I swear. For a lot of these restaurants it us actually pretty common for a lot of them to close within a year of the show. There is the obvious fact that the producers prefer people that are just batshit insane and through movie magic just pull a save out of their ass. But there are also quite a lot of factors that the show doesn't really address or maybe even make worse. Gabi Belle did a great video about that

As a fresh-out-of-college biology major, my rule of thumb for this has become: If I can cook better than the chef, they're part of the problem. If I know more about economics than the management, they are part of the problem. If I can multitask better than the waitstaff combined, they kighr be a problem. Two out of three, my rage is building and Tatiana needs a reality check by way of living alone paycheck to paycheck for a few years, god damn.

[@coroixiwa]

Oh TAAAAAACCOOOOOO, THIS episode right here I remember this. I absolutely despised Tatiana the entire time because she straight up was like my now estranged elder sister. Elder sister started a business that almost cost me AND our mom our home, we only saved it by taking the business from her despite her fighting us but as we both had higher stakes and put in more money it was our business and not hers... We saved it, made profit, changed the name and relaunched it and have been fine since. But sis? Oh she was pissed and got into a fight that landed her in being disowned, it got THAT ugly. She only got disowned because she dragged our younger brother into it and hid his medication because she paid for it; which she did but he paid her back, problem was this was medication he NEEDED and she hid it when he needed to take it. Younger brother had a massive seizure because he couldn't find his meds, smacked his head off the coffeetable before I could catch him, and when sis showed up at the hospital with the meds in her bag WITH HIS NAME ON THEM, mom pressed charges and disowned her. Brother is doing much better now that he lives with me and my fiance and is doing better at work too. As for the relaunched business my sister originally almost sank into the pits and almost cost me and mom our home and had actually cost me one of my jobs, still going even now and doing amazingly I'm proud to say. Niece (Elder estranged sister's daughter) denounced her own mother last year after her mother threw her out for coming out with her girlfriend of three years and also because my niece defended me and my fiance (We're both Genderfluid and elder sister says she's an ally but she's an "ally"; she's not an ally she just says she is for clout). Anyway, niece is part of our business too now as a branch off of it, we helped her get started and help her find places for field experience, and business has been incredible for her, even did an event and cleaned house with a list of orders. Elder sis has been trying to get niece to move back in with her, but niece ain't having it, she lives with her girlfriend and has been doing so much better mentally/emotionally/physically. Niece has a wheelchair and cane she NEEDS to use but her mother wouldn't allow her despite the girl suffering serious injuries as a result, plus she hid her own child's meds too because she "is perfectly fine and doctors are only half right, your mother knows better". Yeah, almost getting your own child killed is not good and I'm putting that LIGHT. Niece couldn't use her cane and wheelchair because her mom is WHERE she had it drilled in her head that she's too young for those things and just needs to "walk it off"... Dysautonomia combined with her other issues does NOT get better or go away, she needs her cane to stabilize herself or better her wheelchair (Don't get me wrong she does go through means to ensure she doesn't suffer atrophy, just her conditions means she can't walk or so much as stand for too long or in some cases at all). So yeah, I have a list of people I absolutely despise and will NEVER forgive for various reasons, and only five people have been on that list for the longest time and sis is at number two to tell you how badly she's messed up. (Note: Estranged sis also claims she has certain health conditions as she uses them, but she was caught in a lie on those before, plus she takes medication she does need with alcohol despite everyone telling her how stupid it is to do that; her legit medication is for her heart and again she takes it with ALCOHOL. She doesn't think conditions are legit unless SHE has them and in those cases ONLY she can have them. Have PTSD? No you're faking because she has PTSD and it's not so bad, unless you trigger her and then YOU'RE at fault. Have Dysautonomia? That's a fake disease, you made that up and oh you're 18, well you don't need a cane you're too young but I need your cane because I'm dizzy from being hungover. Just examples of how she acts.) She's toxic and a list of other things, just wish my niece didn't have to be put through this. Girl cut her off entirely, and I don't blame her, but she was HURT hurt by her mom with all this and she beats herself over it when her mom talks crap about me and mimi (My mom/niece's grandmother/nickname), but both of us are used to my sister's crap. I'm used to her trying to drag my name through the mud or intimidate me, problem is I have way more AND stronger "ammo" to use, and I WILL use it especially when my niece is involved. It's one of the reasons my estranged sister has only rarely gone after me even on social media, because I will fire right back and HARDER, with proof too. Such as when she told my niece that my name is fake and she refused to call me by it... I have photos of my court order, newspaper, all things relating to my name change, including my ID (With everything but my name blackened out). She knows she can't win in a fight with me, so she goes after who she believes is weaker, but she's learning that now that my niece is around me a LOT more, means my niece gets to see all the photos and texts and stuff I have saved, including footage; real eye-opening experience for my niece when she got to see her mom for real and not the fake she acts always around her. I don't tell my niece her mom IS this way or whatnot, nope... I hand my niece anything she needs and let her decide for herself; she lived with her for years so she can tell for herself if there's lies or stuff. Made my niece furious to learn her mom took part in an anti-pride assembly group at her local church, but I've got photos from Facebook that I grabbed as evidence along with the texts. Girl can decide for herself what to believe and who to believe, I won't decide for her nor will I give my input until after she decides with what I have to answer her questions. Girl's an adult now, and I think she appreciates someone not treating her like she's a child still or that they can control her (Doesn't live with either parent, has a job, owns a business, and in college... She is self-dependent and doing phenomenal. Of course her mom hates that, but she can't use her age over her, can't forbid her anymore, can't do anything anymore; I mean she kicked the girl out because she came out to you with her girlfriend, you can't just take that back like nothing happened). What really irks my sis is that my niece is Pagan (Heathenry; Nordic practices, and she is dead serious about it and we attended Yule with her this past year, fun stuff) while she's "Christian" (Not really religious but uses it like a weapon, as if it does anything). Sorry for the rant, but Tatiana hit a nerve rewatching her. Also R.I.P. Genevieve Gutierrez, didn't know her personally but I know she's missed.

KZbin keeps trying to recommend me other reacts to kitchen nightmares but this is literally the only one that is engaging!! Your experience in food service seriously makes these so good, I love it. Also TACO!

[@AndyPlaysAllNight]

Yeah there was one I saw that seemed to be paying attention to the show and reacting as such some of the time, but then gets sidetracked by subs/follows/etc. without pausing and missed some stuff which, sure it happens during streaming, but at least edit it out for youtube if thanking subs/follows will take a while and detract from the content. 😅 Other than that it's been really hit or miss when it comes to the other ones I have seen.

[@otaca1317]

In the vaguest bit of devils advocate, its possible she had her first moment of self awareness and wanted both to tell them what she was about to do with the head chef, but knew herself juuuust enough to know that if she stopped herself from doing it RIGHT NOW, she'd talk herself out of it.

[@delerious0]

I love your princess voice 😂

[@tamartin64]

Bar Rescue is great. Especially that episode where the host throws a huge tantrum because everyone working the night he observes the bar is drunk, unprofessional and unsanitary. He just roars in screaming "Shut it down! SHUT IT DOWWWWWWWWN!!!!" It's awesome.

[@johnnyd1790]

In all honesty, in my opinion, chef Ramsey does exaggerate a little bit the food's faults, for 3 reasons: 1. He's more knowledgeable, better taste palette; 2. Sensationalism for the show to be better; 3. He has to, to be the savior with the new menu, throwing out the old😁 (or improving it), but you should expect that when you call him. It's not all your win for he invests time and money into you, he has to win also. I wonder why so many of these people don't get that simple fact. Once you called for his help, stay humbe and let him school you, credit he's a little harsh here and there.😸 (Taco🤫)

[@N1GHT_ST0RM]

Going off on a chatter for something that does not exist outside of continental America is crazy.

[@Aaalfang]

Taco! You need to play Kitchen Nightmares bingo! 😂 raw food, owner drinking, dirty place and so on

[@chaost4544]

Toasted Ravioli was created in St. Louis, Missouri and is mainly a midwest thing. It's weird to see it on a menu in California. When done right, Toasted Ravs are a really good appetizer. What we saw in the video is the worst toasted ravioli I've ever seen. It looked like the chef didn't coat the ravioli with breadcrumbs and didn't fry them at all. BTW, I had a TACO or two the other day. It was fantastic.

[@treycount]

Taco. I can only imagine what happens when she sees Fiesta Sunrise. When it comes to dragging family into it.

[@Vfanatic1]

2:22 "Stop it...get some help."

[@KlutzyNinjaKitty]

Absolute yes to the Bar Rescue reactions. It's like Kitchen Nightmares but even more trashy. (With the exception of a couple where it's bars that were hit after hurricanes. Those are more uplifting.) Also, TACOOOO!~

[@seraphineraevenwulf]

Also I looked it up and more bars survived Bar Rescue than restaurants on Kitchen Nightmares. It's probably because the other host is harder than even Gordon Ramsey on the owners

[@theoneguyoverthere]

Yay, it got uploaded to the KZbin! The player on the Patreon started getting buggy for me around the time she was getting ready to fire the head chef, and I’ve been on the edge of my seat.

[@Ice-Climber]

It's the guy who can't make a meatball! Also a taco to watch The Black Pearl. That's an episode to watch when you want to get angry at the owners.

[@InumiDarkness]

OH OH OH! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO CAPRI! IT'S ONE OF THE FEW BUSINESS THAT DID EVERYTHING WRONG IN THE EPISODE BUT THEY TRULY LEARNED FROM THEIR MISTAKES AND THEY LASTED A PRETTY LONG TIME! The only reason the restaurant closed their doors was because the twins needed to go back to their family that was suffering and to take care of them. I think it would be a breath of fresh hair that Alicia react to an episode where the owners actually learned from their mistakes and in the end truly listened to Gordon. I think it's my favorite Kitchen Nightmare episode.

[@SignoftheMagi]

Toasted Ravioli was invented here in Missouri. They are supposed to be lightly crunchy, warm and seasoned, served with a dipping sauce. Never overcooked or doughy

[@shaoronmd]

honestly, finding out what happened to most of kitchen night mare restaurants is very depressing

[@numbingcactus153]

THE DRUNK AND THE CHEF WERE OBVIOUSLY BANGING
