I found this: JACK'S WATERFRONT UPDATE - WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? Although the performance of Jack’s water-front improved after they adopted the practices of Chef Gordon, it was closed in December 2010 and later opened as Dockside Jack’s in March 2011. However, it was permanently closed after a month and the three owners sold it back to the previous owners. As of 2022, a restaurant called Brownies on the Lake is operating in the previous Jack’s Waterfront location. They have returned back after 14 years and are operated by Andiamo Restaurant Group. However, reviews for Brownies on the Lake don’t seem that positive as it has just a 2.5 star rating on its Yelp page. Despite the low rating, Brownies on the Lake does seem to be successful for now.

Yes it hurt my feelings that tammer had to fire his father AJ . I don't know how old the gentleman is but if he's mid-60s to '70s he don't need to be doing that anymore he don't need that kind of stress and I'm pretty sure he understands that. My son fusses at me all the time when I do stuff where I stress myself out. And I love him just as much for it. Awesome show.

Update to the restaurant: Jack's Waterfront closed in December 2010. Yelp reviews after the episode filmed were mostly positive, the handful of negative comments were on service. Jack's reopened as Dockside Jack's in March 2011, Yelp reviews were good but it closed after just a month. They sold the restaurant back to the previous owners and it became Brownies on the Lake in April 2011 and Yelp reviews are mixed.

Also, did I hear correctly that they were paying him $100K? WTF?!) when family and business isn't quite working, as well as when the management hierarchy is blurry.

I sincerely hope that Aaron was able to find other employment and a head chef level and I thriving now. AJ was a god damn disgrace, $100,000 a year salary AND drinking all the alcohol, 40 years in the hospitality industry my arse, he couldn't organise a root in a brothel with a fist full of fifties.

Scott reminds me of all the big bulky dudes who never wanna look scary but always come off that way. Lotta guys in my family are big and scary but it breaks their heart especially when they scare people especially nieces and nephews and grandkids. Honestly couldn't get enough of seein Scott as a waiter lol

[@seamonkeys12y]

100% those fish are dead. firstly because there's no bubbler for 90% of those tanks and 2. having like 30 fish tanks will be a nightmare to clean and feed for unsuspecting owners. It's like giving someone a handful of guinea pigs and expecting them to clean up the mountain of soiled straw every week

[@wesjohnson1783]

Nice catch.

[@allangray6764]

Yea that drove me nuts. Thankfully this was a different time and I think the compassion people have for our friends in aquariums has grown.

[@AlokSomani]

Yeah that's all I could think about when I saw all those fish tanks..."good luck with that!"

[@William_Porter]

As a guinea pig owner and whose had aquariums what you just stated gives me a nightmare lol 😓 my two guinea pigs alone produce like 100 little poo's each a day it's so much cleaning.

[@domlugau]

I sincerely hate Bill, because he is in no way a teamplayer with the other owners. I told on cam, that it is his staff, his money, his guests, etc... NO it is not! It is "our" restaurant, "our" staff, "our" guests and most of the money is provided by Scott! The audacity! He seriously wanted to see him go under, the evening he was a waiter, that wasn't only a joke of friends... Scott really cares about the restaurant, the team and is kind hearted. He is somewhat intimitating and stared at GR, but he didn't know what else to do in that situation when GR tasted the food, because he wasn't allowed to do anything, because the other two made him a silent partner... It's a very good episode, but the other owners really grind my gears ngl.

This episode is one of the best. It has suspense, terror, circumstantial problems with the environment, plenty of cussing, old vs. young ageism, comedy and real feeling. Not to mention the bad food turned around.

[@LandonsLaboratory]

You can tell either the editors are doing their job, and/or Gordon is a great at adding some drama / humor to the show. At 6:53 you see him quickly try to take a bite so he can stop right as she says the crab ("krab") is artificial. Always found this to be a funny scene.

[@metamorphicorder]

For people talking about the fish on the walls, you are probably right. Its not a great idea if its not done correctly. Having a little experience with this and realizing that gordon and the show run a production with this, theres a few things to consider. 1. They are bettas. They do not REQUIRE highly oxygenated water with a bubbler. Bubblers are actually not quite as effective as they would seem and most aquarists typically think of smaller bubbler set ups in tanks as decorative rather than functional. The time that the air in the bubble is in contact with the water is pretty short. Not a lot of time to transfer gas content back and forth. The surface area to volume of the water would be what i would be really focused on for fish other than bettas. Bettas are well known for living in small volumes of poor water in the wild. This is not to say that its ok to toss them in whatever condition you want and say its good. But bettas have what is called a labyrinth organ that allows them to breathe air directly from rhe surface. They will be able to breathe. There are other issues i will mentiona as to why this is not a great setup for them later. 2. Water quality. Well if it was just the bettas on the wall, i would be pretty concerned, but again these are bettas, and they are prettt tolerant of marginal waters. There is also a large multi fish display aquarium in the front that is pretty likely to have a contract with a local aquarium shop to come in weekly and service. The betta tanks would likely get service then too. It doesnt take much. The aquarium crew would need a few hours once a week in the morning to come in and clean the display tank and do a partial water change on all the betta tanks. They could easily bring pretreated water with them in a van. Lets say there were 20 2 gal betta tanks, they need 20 gals of water, something easily done with 4 5 gal bottles and a siphon and hand pump. A full change once a month. As long as the front of house doesnt over feed them the water wont foul much in that time. What isnt great for them though is simply being in the restraunt. Its loud with lots of concussions and irregular light and stimulus. I wouldn't have set it up that way.

[@VeritasRedacted]

Aaron was acting like a head chef from the start, he needed ownership reinforcement or a new team. He had the same voice from the start

80 hour weeks are absolutely ridiculous because peoples' effectiveness on the job drops off sharply from 50 hours upward, so that stuff at the end with AJ is just like... dude, no, you're way less effective like that.

The scariest thing about that restaurant is the fish bowls that’s practically animal abuse and the tank is rough as well

[@ivancaravaca6680]

Honestly, if someone told me anything like Gordon was telling AJ to look at the color of the chicken, I would instantly know I was in trouble. There was so much anger in the way he said that (and honestly, I can't blame him, it looked disgusting. As a chef, that must be infuriating). Like, how does someone remain calm in that sittuation?
