Exactly my thought. WTF are they on about?

@Yusuf Dadkhah I am not quite sure, what do you mean?

@Yusuf Dadkhah Ah yeah, I see what you mean. Thank you!

The problem is that these are restaurants that are racing towards their finish. The show is only giving them a cleaned up restaurant to put up on the market, which always happens, or as a opportunity to sue and make up their losses. I never heard of a single restaurant from the show that continued on successfully.

Joseph Consoli There are several restaurants that became successful and remained in business long after they were featured on the show. Mostly because they took Gordons advice to heart and continued to follow it after he left. But most of them did close simply because they were in too much debt and the turn around was too late.

Uhhh... He went with his camera crew. He was obviously there to make some $$$, not because of the kindness of his heart. When you're out to do something benevolent & sincere, you do things in private. Gordon might be a generous man, but he doesn't just do things unless he's somehow also getting his own cut out of it.

@@marblemadness8870 Where do you spend your time volunteering or giving free professional consultations?

That wasn't his decision that was the producer's decision. Without the camera crew and getting paid for his time there's no way he would have been out there knocking on doors. He doesn't give a shit about some failed restaurant on TV and he shouldn't have to.

What's your restaurant history ? Was it passed down to you or did you start it your self.What do you describe as "good" food? Something that tastes good ,is fresh,well cooked,and nutritional or is there more to the art of cooking?

After about 10 years in hosp, I'd say yes, that's it. You can't beat good, fresh, tasty food. Doesn't matter if it's simple. One of the all time best sellers I ever sold at any of the restaurants was one of the cheaper, simpler dishes, it just ticked most boxes for most people - cheaper smaller dish but filling, meat free but packed with flavour, I suppose it was just comfort food par excellence. Edit: Forgot to say, it was home made tagliatelle with shiitake & gorgonzola, served with fresh salad & indecently wonderful garlic bread. You wouldn't want it every day but wow, it was good.

@@ddavies1967 I agree

CANDY WRAITH first one we started in 2009, they are both family restaurants. Second in 2013. Good food is simple, fresh and done right. I’ve experimented with a lot of different things in the past decade, it’s important to know what your market demographic is. We are around 30 minutes from the city, so fine dining wouldn’t work here. What people want is good food, reasonably priced and warm service, do that and they’ll be back. Try to hard then they’ll come once and never again

@@imahappycamper2022 TF FR?

Yep, especially if it’s still the same owner.

I know that from a pizza restaurant in my area. About ten years ago, the owner was forced to close down after it came out that the place was horrible, to say the least. Since its closure, it changed its owner and its name about three times. But with each attempt, you could see that many customers were dissatisfied with the staff and the food. In other words, once you've heard rumours that it was about to close down again, it did. Since about two years, there is another owner in there, but this time it's not a pizza restaurant. And touch wood, it currently has a fairly good reputation.

Sorry but I am unfamiliar with the issue of restocking food with food stamps, for I’ve never used them or heard of them in my country before. Would you care to explain why that was a problem? Thank you very much :)

@@hiparifu6889 Food stamps are given to poor people by the government. People who can't afford food can take them to a grocer and buy food with them. Food stamp fraud happens when someone buys food stamps from a poor person, usually paying far less than they're worth. Poor people will agree to it because they can use the cash on other things like rent, utilities, alcohol, diapers, etc than food stamps can't be used for. It's very predatory and unethical. It's also illegal and could land you in jail.

@@hiparifu6889 @hiparifu how would it work. you buy food stamps its typically 50 cents on the $1. so for every $1 in food the person is giving you you give them 50 cents.

@@trublgrl big brain talk that i dont understand

It's n ego thing no one likes there ego disrupted and can't take criticism as feedback, they want to take it all personally and r blinded by that.

While I agree, I also feel that Ramsay as a human being can in fact be wrong on occasion about a person or go to far with his words with some people at certain times. Not everyone refusing to roll over and do everything Ramsay says the way he says it is automaticly hard headed. People can have in fact good arguments or reasons for something, as well as just a different taste. For example in one hotel in some other episode there was this to me beautifull cozy warm red collor on one of the walls and Ramsay called it hideous and depressing (and gave it a makeover I found hideos myself. Also he called rooms in that hotel depressing, but then in the make over painted some walls a dark gray.. which was what was depressing to me. I preferd the old look by a landslide.) and I'm like thats an opinion dude, not a fact. If beds are coverd in stains, food is frozen or raw when served, staff is rude or money is mismanged and vaporates because of it, thats stuff he gives solid advice and critism on and people should listen to that. But when he starts going on about a wall collor or somebody's personal dressing style (like a manager not looking like a boss because he wears shorts, acting shocked when a female owner admits to never having her nails done and not wearing colorful dresses, and more nonsense like that) and he starts projecting his own personal tastes on that I get mighty uncomfortable. Dont shit on people's personal tastes. Thats not his place to judge. Also he has this weird thing for treating ''important'' guests better. Like if a town major or food critic comes along he acts like thats the biggest news ever and puts a lot of unneeded extra pressure on people to perform well for this person, rather then just having the team focusing on performing well in general and just providing good food and nice clean rooms. It should not matter who comes for dinner. A paying costumer is a paying costumer. No special focus or treatment should be given. Just let people focus on doing their jobs. Dont have owners great these special guests while servers do everyone else. Either great all your guests, or let servers great them all. Dubble standards makes it seem like it's ok to do a poorer job with not '' special'' guests when in fact the team should be striving for the best results at all times. Informing your team in such a dramatic way somebody ''imporant'' is comming just makes people extra nerveus and is not at all helpful. I think Ramsay has a lot of solid advice to give, and sometimes ego or hard headed ness can be the reason such advise is ignored. But sometimes people can just disagree because of legid reasons and I feel people who disagree on anything are always portrayed as wrong for having a different opinion than Ramsay on some things, like their preference for their own personal wardrobe or the collors of their hotel bedrooms. Ramsay's objective opinions and subjective opinions should not be treated the same way. He is wrong for forcing his personal tastes on others or when he's being rude to people just for disagreeing on small things even when they are going along with all the importand things. Dont know if this is a tv persona or really him, but Ramsay seems quite hard headed and stubborn as well even at times he doesn't need to be.

@@amberanime You got your core reasons wrong. 1. He's not doing a makeover for your house. He's doing it for a hotel where people come and experience. You complained that the red colour in wall was cozy but Gordon's grey wall was hideous, but you haven't mentioned that he fully changed the decors, furniture's and plating utensils and chose the colour that suits for the furnitures and the place. It's always adviced to have a pale or dim coloured wall for hotels to make the lighting of the accessories and the food on the table pop out. Trust me no wall in any hotels will have full red colour, not even in McDonald's (Which is signature for its red colour) even if I got it for my room. He never pushes his personal choice over them. He chooses what suits the place good. A good example is in the Yanni's makeover. The old decor was good but it was way off to a place where people come to eat and spend time. The new decor he made was spot on and the white wall with greyish blue tint was stunning with the combination of the furnitures. The owners loved it so much that they haven't changed the decor years after it happened. 2. He always offer an option to change the decor away back to normal. See the episode where Gordon made a tremendous makeover to a restaurant and made an insane pool in the backyard knowing the mentality of the surrounding. But the old women owner refused and wanted her old decor back. He did the same and even let them use the menu he made. 3.There was an episode where the owner ran a fancy in but always wore a sweater and unprofessional clothes that she barely washed and hair tangled and loose like a witch. He did made her to do a makeover to herself so that she gets back the confidence in her and also act professional. That's what made customers feel welcomed. 3. The main point to run a hotel or any business is that you shouldn't prioritise your personal opinion into the business. You should choose what the opinion of the surrounding locality. Because you're not the customer, the people in the surroundings are. A hotel room should look appealing but not personal. 4. He never had pushed his personal choices on anyone. In all his episodes he always mentions the surroundings of the place. A good example is in Four Seasons makeover. For the place, the title was so off. He changed it to something that defined the restaurant and even named it their puppy's name. (Remember there's a difference between naming a restaurant with personal names and having a restaurant look personal to the owner. That's why most hotels in say Italy has the founders name yet if you go inside it looks all professional and welcoming). Gordon even went on making a makeover for their Dog kennel behind the inn. He even announced a dog festival near that place each month so that the Inn can get some revenue from the competitors staying in the inn. It was mind blowing how he came up with that plan. The owners who were broke and helpless took Ramsey criticism and was loyal to him. They cleared all their debt, paid high salary to workers with tip and bonus and even afforded to move to a better place with the same idea. Tell me where he pushed his personal opinion exactly. Before every episode makeover he always do the reading of the surrounding and makes design makeover based on that. Not based on his opinion. All of Gordon's Hotel makeover were an absolute success. Its the owners ego that made them move away from right path back to their old self and fail. The loyal and practical minded owners have made insane development because they took criticism as a feedback and not as an insult. Dude, he even saved people from splitting up and united people which isn't part of the hotel makeover. Remember, the hotels are the one that contacts Gordon for help. Gordon even had health problems tasting their hazardous food at times. You're calling him for his help, you're not accepting his critique, he literally makes a plan and give a whole makeover with decorations and food. He even risks his own staffs to teach those chefs, and if you're still mad that he was a harsh critique to you, you're definitely ungrateful and being wrong. He's brutally honest and that's what makes him great. No talking behind back. Id rather trust the one who's being brutally honest to me than the one who fakefully motivates and praise me. You'll probably come at me just for saying that your opinion had flaws. It's not an insult, it's a point out to recheck yourself.

@@funkychicken2119 Probably one of the few true cases of 'rags to riches'.

A lot of the UK series was done before the 2008 finance crunch. Which ended up crippling or closing a lot of restaurants in the years to come which didn’t help a fair amount of those that Gordon helped as well.

To be fair a lot of them have been in like 5k worth of debt A WEEK for the past year or longer by the time he’s turned up, it’s too little too late. They’ve already remortgaged or sold houses, cars, fired staff just to pay portions of their debts back. It’s a pretty impossible challenge to actually come back from something like that

While what all of you are saying is completely true. The other thing and perhaps even worse is they are usually in denial and just plain don’t want to listen to anything Ramsay has to say. Which is hilarious since they are asking for his help in the first place.

I'm amazed he manages to turn most of them around.

The problem with most of the restaurants is the one thing he cannot fix... the personality of the person who owns it. Ramsay can change the menu and put a coat of pain on the walls, but it won't change the habits of someone who doesn't see what they did wrong.

From what I was reading, it's actually only 60%, which is really good considering they were all failing anyway. 80% are closed now, but that's because it's been over a decade for many of them and they closed years later.
