Streaming Platform: Hulu

The Gondola has been functional since 1968 and brings glamor to Derby (located in the UK). However, talking about the present day, it is failing and cannot precede its reputation. The new owner of this spot admires the historic place.

Chef Ramsay is usually soft, but there are some humorous moments in this episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Some of these moments were like when the head chef tried his best to hide the powdered minestrone and when he was constantly trying to defend the dated menu (that he had been cooking since the 1970s).

This episode has everything that a fan would wish to watch and love. It also had clear descriptions of how unpleasant the food was.

He has got some words that he uses to describe them like greasy, dreadful and the most popular one- bland.

At Jack’s Waterfront, the food was very unpleasant, and Ramsay uses various similarities to describe food taste like crab and crap. His restaurant experience was not good, and there were poor services. But, when Ramsay gets creative with his choice of words, things become even more entertaining.

24. El Greco

Season 5, Episode 9
Director(s): Jay Hunter
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, Gordon Kennedy, Arthur Smith, Drew.
IMDb Rating: 6.9/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Audiences like to watch Gordon Ramsay’s connection with the servers who work in an environment where they have to deal with the incompetent owners of the restaurant or cruel chefs. There is so much mention of the word “my darling” as negative energy runs in many professional restaurant kitchens.

When Ramsay’s kind side is seen, it is always so nice to watch him. Servers usually give him the in-house news like what all goes inside the kitchen. It is their way of repaying him.

25. Mangia Mangia

Season 7, Episode 6
Director(s): Jay Hunter
Cast: Jay Hunter, Glenn GT Taylor.
IMDb Rating: 7.3/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Many hot-headed personalities are seen in Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen nightmares episodes but the 22 year old Trevor seen who head chef at Mangia Mangia was by far the worst and the most toxic one. The restaurant owner also tells about his negative traits.

Trevor somewhere knows that he can’t be fired, which is why he has such an attitude. The way Ramsay handles him is worth watching. He rates his own cooked food 5/10 and walks out and smokes whenever he wishes to. His worst act is that he even tried to punch a worker a month ago Ramsay’s visit.

26. Flamango’s

Season 2, Episode 2
Director(s): Mark S. Jacobs
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, Arthur Smith, Patricia Llewellyn, Kent Weed.
IMDb Rating: 7.1/10

Apart from Flamango’s Roadhouse’s weird name, it also has an equally weird decor. Adele is one of the restaurant owners, and she has been shown to be abusive towards her staff. She and her husband don’t allow Chef Bryan to make any modifications in the menu.

It seems a little odd to watch Adele resist the menu and decor changes done by the world-renowned chef Ramsay. The staff is thrilled to see these changes happen. When Ramsay discloses the restaurant’s new name- the Junction, Cheryl is happy to hear it, but Adele is still the same. She doesn’t like it and talks about how bad the new decor is.

IMDb Rating: 7.3/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Sometimes Ramsay’s reaction in Kitchen Nightmares episodes to some dishes or restaurants makes the viewers very upset. But, when that same food makes him ill, then there’s no point in arguing. Casa Roma restaurant situated in California is it’s the oldest restaurant open. It is run by a mother and son duo with no prior experience.

The business makes very less money, and the reason can be seen clearly is that the cleanliness standards are very poor. The conditions of the restaurant and its dishes were not very good, and at the end, the chef can also be seen vomiting in a trash can.

28. Café 36

Season 2, Episode 11
Director(s): Kent Weed
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, J.V. Martin.
IMDb Rating: 6.8/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Café 36 is run by two high school lovers- Carol and Terry. Terry always wanted to run a French bistro, but their restaurant doesn’t look less than a frozen bistro. Terry is unable to make decisions when seen on Kitchen Nightmares. Their Chef Pinto is lazy and lacks sanitation. Almost everything is frozen or falls under the category of fresh frozen.

It is really sad to see that the restaurant owners had no idea what was going on inside Café 36 until Gordon Ramsay made them realize and opened their eyes.

29. Blackberry’s

Season 5, Episode 1
Director(s): NA
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, Arthur Smith.
IMDb Rating: 7.2/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

The restaurant owners of Blackberry’s and its executive chef are incapable of making any decisions and are in constant denial of everything that is wrong with Blackberry’s. The only thing that Chef Ramsay likes is the desserts made by Chef Shelly’s mother.

Ramsay asks the restaurant staff to tell Shelly what all is wrong with the restaurant, but instead, she gets angry and sends that staff member home for going against her. Even Mary, Shelly’s mother, agrees with Ramsay and says she needs to listen. Usually, by the end of Kitchen Nightmares episodes, things end on a good note, but in this one, Shelly still doesn’t understand things, and her attitude is the same.

30. The Mixing Bowl

IMDb Rating: 7.1/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Billy, owner and chef of The Mixing Bowl, puts all his efforts into keeping the restaurant open. Mike, the restaurant manager, is the problem as he manipulates everyone and has a habit of drinking and yelling. Gordon Ramsay doesn’t go easy with Mike because of his lack of knowledge regarding the restaurant’s menu. At last, it is relaxing to see that Ramsay does like some of the restaurant’s items.

31. Charlie’s

Season 4, Episode 14
Director(s): Sharon Trojan Hollinge
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, Gordon Kennedy, Arthur Smith, Genevieve Gutierrez.
IMDb Rating: 7.1/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

This episode is about Italian restaurants as Charlie’s is an Italian restaurant. Tatiana is the restaurant owner and is portrayed as an ignorant person, and it soon becomes clear that she cannot make decisions. But, she is not the real problem. Chef Casimiro is the real issue here.

Nothing is perfect in his kitchen, and the biggest thing is that he is not even willing to listen to Gordon Ramsay. Daniella is competent, and the restaurant would have shut down a long time ago without her. The episode kicks with Tatiana hiding the criticism shared by Ramsay from the chef, but then, she also has a limit. Casimiro is seen crying, but the episode has a happy ending nevertheless.

32. Handlebar

Season 1, Episode 13
Director(s): Brad Kreisberg
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, Michael Cabbibo.
IMDb Rating: 6.8/10

The Handlebar was not in good condition when it was taken over by Billy and his wife a year ago; the Kitchen Nightmares episode got filmed. Things seem to have gotten better in the restaurant, but the owner is seen to be moody.

Within the first few minutes of the episode, Chef Melissa also admits that she never wanted to be a chef and the scenario is also the same currently. She admits that the food is not good and that she didn’t think that she’ll be a chef someday.

33. Chappy’s

Season 6, Episode 15
Director(s): Jay Hunter
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, John Chapman.
IMDb Rating: 6.8/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Chef Chappy is seen to be running a restaurant that belongs to a completely different era, and the reason the viewers feel like this is its dining room, fancy waiters and high prices. The food is not at all appealing and is overpriced.

Ramsay also shares some negative things about the food, and the chef overreacts to Ramsay’s on-the-point criticism of the food. This was a lot to watch, and Chappy was still not happy with the changes that were brought about by the end. Ramsay tells him that he is a stubborn man.

34. Sabatiello’s

Season 2, Episode 8
Director(s): Brad Kreisberg
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, Michael Cabibbo.
IMDb Rating: 6.9/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Sammy is the owner of Sabatiello, and he seems to be a typical Italian American man living in New York City. When a closer look is taken towards him, the audiences realize that he is more ignorant. In the past, he ran a successful pizza restaurant, and after that, he started his Sabatiello’s journey, which is a higher-end restaurateur.

According to David, the head waiter Sammy is nothing less than a nightmare. Almost everything Sammy does or says is fake, whether it be his signature dish. Sammy being manipulative and short-tempered, tries to make Gordon Ramsay think he is far more hard-working. Seeing Sammy throughout the episode and Ramsay pointing out his lies repeatedly makes this episode fun to watch.

35. Black Pearl

Season 1, Episode 16
Director(s): Brad Kreisberg
Cast: Michael Cabbibo, Gordon Ramsay.
IMDb Rating: 7.2/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Two friends co-own the restaurant Black Pearl and they earlier previously had a lobster shack. Later on, they both decided to open a seafood restaurant with another partner. The restaurant did open in Midtown in NYC, but things did not go as per their plans. The restaurant didn’t make much money, and the owners also stopped talking to each other.

When Gordon Ramsay reaches there, the situation is worst. The staff is thankfully good at The Black Pearl, and they are the ones that are getting things done.

36. Mama Rita’s

Season 3, Episode 8
Director(s): Jay Hunter, Mark S. Jacobs, Brad Kreisberg.
Cast: Gordon Ramsay
IMDb Rating: 6.9/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Mama Rita didn’t initially get its popularity due to its successful catering business. Instead of making the food whose order is received, the staff is busy making stuff in bulk and then freezing everything. Chef Perla is also quite incompetent, and she looks to be more of a cook.

It is heartbreaking to watch Laura trying so hard to implement what Gordon Ramsay suggested and Chef Perla on the opposite, sowing the least creativity from her side.

37. Café Hon

Season 4, Episode 15
Director(s): Jay Hunter
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, Gordon Kennedy.
IMDb Rating: 6.9/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Denise Whiting, the owner of Café Hon, is a control freak who serves bad food to the customers in a weird dining room. Café Hon is situated in Baltimore, and when Chef Ramsay visits it, he notices that Whiting has trademarked the local slang ‘hon’.

It’s a relief that this episode has a happy ending with Whiting stopping using his trademark at a press conference that Chef Ramsay organized.

38. Momma Cherri’s Soul Food Shack

Season 2, Episode 3
Director(s): Christine Hall
Cast: Gordon Ramsay
IMDb Rating: 7.9/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Gordon Ramsay very rarely likes someone’s food on the Kitchen Nightmares episodes. He has usually seen liking desserts, but we saw an entirely new experience in Momma Cherri’s episode that the chef gained. He loved the soul food restaurant and the flavors in its food.

The relationship shared by the chefs is also nice. Ramsay here works at two levels. First, he tries to modernize the restaurant and second, he tries to make Cherri less controlling.

39. Dillons

Season 2, Episode 1
Director(s): Brad Kreisberg
Cast: Gordon Ramsay, Vikas Khanna.
IMDb Rating: 7.5/10
Streaming Platform: Hulu

Dillons is an Indian restaurant that serves both Indian and British food. This is quite an odd combination, and they don’t go with each other. Ramsay told the owners about the multiple problems this restaurant was facing. This was among the first episodes of Kitchen Nightmares.

The restaurant was very dirty, and the food they were cooking was mostly rotten. There was also a language barrier in the staff, and then there were three managers who were never in complete agreement.

Yanni’s is a Greek restaurant in Seattle. Gordon Ramsay included some new things in the menu. Peter’s owner has his own path. He didn’t want the changes as the business had been running since 1984. He is too adamant to even listen to Ramsay’s advice.
