They CONTAMINATED The Whole Restaurant! | Kitchen Nightmares | Gordon Ramsay

Gordon's genuinely worried now...
Season 3, Episode 11
Gordon visits Fleming, a Danish restaurant in Miami, Florida. It was once the best family-run restaurant in town, but now the place is on its last legs. Fleming was bought by husband and wife team Andy and Suzanne eight years ago, in the hope of continuing the restaurant's past success, but with no clue about Danish cuisine it's no real surprise the place is losing money. Can Gordon save their bacon?

The sigh of relief that fell out of my face when Gordon was kind and polite about that lady's dorky little swans... good man.

[@thezachman1]

She was being sincere, I think Gordon recognized that

[@FelineBlues]

Low key the swan would still make me leave with a smile even if I didn’t love my meal. It reminds me of fancy restaurants I would see on tv as a kid. I hope we keep a place in this world for whimsical little foil swans as food trends sway more to rustic home cooking and elevated fusion. 🥺

[@AdamT69]

It took me about halfway through their interaction to realize he wasn't joking. 😅

a little google shows: In the days that followed, they embraced the changes Gordon had made and Andy believes they are on the right track. However two months after filming, they returned some customer favourites to the menu that were popular with patrons, whilst also keeping Gordon's original menu in place. They also returned to serving crudites, offering soup of the day and Caesar salad with every meal. They brought back the dessert bar. They were inspired to make new changes including introducing theme nights and new early bird special, the Economic Recovery Menu. Fleming closed in October 2010, 5 months after airing of the episode.

[@sanjogh777]

Yeah, most restaurants fall back into their old ways and that's how they lose their restaurants. I don't think Ramsay could have done more.

[@sparky4878]

Some of these, US and in the UK original, are just in so much debt recovery is damn near impossible. Ramsay may keep them on life support for a little longer but just delaying the inevitable.

[@JLG629]

Honestly this one seemed like an easy fix. The owners were very likeable and nice, loyal staff, and a passionate chef. They basically just needed to let the chef be himself more and get new decor. I really hope it worked out for them.

that’s what happens when good people with absolutely no experience in running a restaurant buy a restaurant. they create a poorly run restaurant with good people running it. i don’t understand why some people think buying a restaurant to run yourself with no experience is an “investment” no, sir, that’s like saying i’ll do my moms hip replacement surgery myself to save money … there are certain things you need experience and education to do well no matter how good a person you are.

[@valspals9188]

@eanneham8613 yup, been there done that. People will come in and expect it to just make money. That's not how it works.

[@jehansinterlude]

[@TheB00tyWarrior]

@@jehansinterlude they're always happy eating shit food, until a celebrity is around and there's cameras

[@Misa-Aname]

maybe because they are actors being paid to be on the show

[@CutesyEldritchHorror]

I chalk this up to the producers of the show. We already know that all of those customers are brought in by the show to test the limits of the kitchen staff, so it wouldn't much of a stretch if they were also told to be very honest about the food to the waitstaff. Could also be through the magic of editing that they leave in all the people who were more straightforward.

[@toportime]

Fairly sure they are encourged to do so for the show.

[@rincandrepeat.999]

Take the swan-maker with you!

[@line-pb1oh]

As a Dane I feel violated by how they made the food. But the way Gordon pronounced frikadeller was really good

[@camillarasmussen9937]

Agree. As a fellow dane, that has nothing to do with traditional danish cuisine.

[@budakbaongsiah]

isn't frikadeller a Dutch dish?

[@sparky4878]

I’ve been watching the originals again (UK) on Channel 4 (some are on KZbin) and there is such a difference in the production. Less dramatic and sharp jump cuts, no silly sound effects and actually use proper songs that were in the charts. He’s just as sweary but seemingly a little more relaxed , funny and helps out more in the kitchens.

So why is it a shame? They had their dates there in the '80s.... They stopped going in there in the '90s...... So why is it a shame that it closed in the early 2000s to 2010s? This comment makes absolutely no sense It would make sense if they started dating their in the '80s and have been going there ever since..... That would be a shame But a restaurant closing decades after they already stopped going there... How is that A shame? I swear sometimes people just make comments just to comment 🙄 YOU DONKEY!

"Cesar salad is hard", I didn't expect that one. It is super easy, especially if you prepare the dressing beforehand (and I believe that in restaurant they do prepare it in advance). Some roman lettuce, parmesan, croutons, grilled chicken (I guess they leave that one out when it is just a side dish), dressing and croutons. If you have it prepared (like you should in restaurant), you have it in bowl in 30 seconds.

[@jacylaw2001]

So fucking sad they dropped the ball on Caesar Salad. It's literally the easiest salad to put together. Romaine, shaved parmesan, croutons, and that mayo sauce.
