Gordon Ramsay Revisits Old Restaurants From Kitchen Nightmares

[@Eagle-Striker]

Lisa is a prime example of what happens when an owner actually listens to Gordon's advice. She deserves all the success she gets, glad for her. I'm still amazed how 95% of the owners request Gordon Ramsey's help but then decide to ignore his advice (even though he built over 30 successful restaurants).

[@danishblunt9698]

It's actually ridiculous how she went from having 1 failing business to her own brand of whine and multiple profitable businesses. She is absolutely going ham right now.

In many fields, it's usually almost always the humans involved that is causing the downfall, whether it is running a business or owning a dog. As long as they're hell-bent on everything being not their fault, everything's screwed.

Scott's a real one, though. Gets a call from Gordon to get somewhere to help salvage a restaurant's dinner service. No delay, no questions, he's out there immediately, chef jacket included.

One thing I like about gordon is that although he's always seen as a big angry british man, if you see him interact with kids, he's always very gentle. He only acts that was around adults, and *especially* adults running restaurants, is because they're supposed to be adults who know better. He honestly cares, and when he sees people who obviously don't, that's when he gets mad.

I used to work as a cook, I currently work in a grocery store meat department. Last year, our entire meat department walked out and quit shortly after I started. Our management and corporate “leaders” still haven’t understood that that is unprecedented. Everyone gets paid under industry standard, extremely understaffed and they keep adding more stuff for us to do. They keep cutting hours and staff but expect us to be able to keep up with the ever growing amount of new things they want us to do. Everyone (staff and our customers) suffers from this, with the exception of our corporate management of course, they have to make those bonuses 🤦‍♂️ they make us pack out our cases with extreme amounts of product that no one wants and demands we keep it in the case past it’s expiration date and constantly threaten our jobs due to “shrink” (stuff we throw out or people steal) but they don’t understand that due to health codes, they’re breaking the law and potentially making people sick and/or killing people. The customer service industry is absolute trash in most cases. I wish Gordon would spread to grocery stores like he did with hotels lol. Maybe the industry would get better

And that's why she deserve all the achievements and success she's having right now.. And my favorite part of all is when she gave Gordon a wine as a token of appreciation.... SO LOVE IT!!!
