“Old Mother Hubbard’s 13 thru 24 Favorite Kitchen Nightmares Episodes”
13. “Kati Allo” – Season 7 Episode 4 – Owner Manny decides to buy a restaurant on a whim while he is having a haircut in the building next to the restaurant. He tells his wife Christine after the fact and basically destroys her life. You can’t help but feel bad for Christine.
14. “Peter’s” – Season 1 Episode 1 – Peter’s sister actually owns the restaurant but Peter pilfers from it to the point of bankruptcy. Peter watches too many mob movies and is quite violent at times but he meets his match with Ramsay.
15. “Piccolo Teatro” – Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares (which is the English series not the USA series – I’ve seen all of the English RKNs but not for a while – New list soon!) Season 5 Episode 2 – Had to throw this one in here. Owner Rachel McNally was basically given the restaurant by her father. She’s a good looking Scottish lass who is super spoiled and has absolutely no clue about how to run a restaurant. By the end of the episode the restaurant closes for good. Rachel became a call girl. You could buy her for sex for $300 an hour.
16. “Old Neighborhood” – Season 7 Episode 3 – One of the dirtiest and grossest restaurants Ramsay has visited. Husband and wife owners Randy and Alexa are completely clueless. Randy is a hoarder and his wife Alexa’s food looks like regurgitated vomit. The restaurant is filthy and you can almost smell through the TV screen.
17. “Prohibition Grille” – Season 6 Episode 14 – Owner Rashi Brown is weird AF and is a belly dancer. She does belly dancing shows while people are trying to eat their dinner. Rashi has absolutely no clue at all about running a restaurant.
18. “Chappy’s” – Season 6 Episode 15 – Owner Chappy is one of the biggest assholes to ever be on Kitchen Nightmares. He didn’t take any of Ramsay’s advice and the restaurant closed shortly after the show aired.
19. “Dillon’s/Purnima” – Season 1 Episode 2 – This is THE grossest restaurant Ramsay has tried to save. The restaurant was infested with flies, cockroaches and rodents. There were 3 managers but GM Martin took the brunt of Ramsay’s hatred and ended up quitting before the end of the show.
20. “Nino’s Italian Restaurant” – Season 6 Episode 10 – A family owned restaurant named after one of the sons. Nino is super lazy and a real asshole to boot. Ramsay ends up making Nino see the light.
21. “Barefoot Bob’s” – Season 6 Episode 5 – Owner Marc Cara-Donna’s wife Lisa is obviously cheating on him. Ramsay turns the restaurant from a tiki bar type restaurant in to a plush yacht club type place. Lisa’s bar tender brother Bobby disagrees with the direction Ramsay was taking the restaurant in (and I kind of agree with him). As soon as Ramsay left they went back to their old ways and the restaurant closed for good 4 years later. Owner Marc Cara-Donna died last November at the age of 52. Marc and Lisa were still together when he died.
22. “El Greco” – Season 5 Episode 10 – Owners Jake and his mother Athena have a deeply fractured relationship. Jake says some pretty horrible things to his mother during the episode. At one point Ramsay says to Jake “You have to be the sorriest sack of shit I’ve ever seen stand in front of me.” The restaurant closed for good 2 months before the episode even aired.
23. “Mojito” – Season 3 Episode 4 – Owners Katalina and Marcelo are divorced and don’t like each other at all. Ramsay somehow manages to get them on the same page to keep the restaurant afloat. It stayed open for 6 years after the episode aired. Getting on the wrong side of Katalina could be dangerous.
24. “Mama Rita’s” – Season 3 Episode 8 – Owner Laura is probably one of the dumbest fucks to ever own a restaurant. The restaurant is gorgeous but the food is frozen catering type food, some of which has been sitting in the freezer for over a year. As soon as Ramsay left she went back to her old ways and the restaurant closed for good not long after. Laura was almost 2 million dollars in debt and she declared bankruptcy when all was said and done.
Well, there you have it. Another great list! I like almost every Kitchen Nightmares episode so a part 3 is possible. Hopefully you know who doesn’t flip out and get all jealous because I made a list. Many more lists to come. Stay tuned and ENJOY!!!
This is a really good list. I like Kitchen Nightmares a lot.
Right now I’m in the middle of watching a great film entitled “Absence of Malice” (1981) starring Paul Newman. The bad guy in the film, Elliot Rosen, tries to fuck over Michael Gallagher by saying cheap shit lies about him to try to make himself look better. It reminds me of a raging fucking faggot on EUM that gets pissed off and jealous of anyone that makes lists or gets any attention. In the end Elliot Rosen ends up getting fucked over for being a raging fucking faggot. It’s a 5 star film. It might be a little too sophisticated for little faggots that put “Oldboy,” Memories of Murder” and “August Underground Mordum Maggot Cut” as their top 3 all time favorite movies.
Like my Ai can not do the fucking same. Worse than fat freds imdb pasta. The Top 12: The Absolute Proper Nutters Amy’s Baking Company (Season 6, Episode 16) The holy grail of reality TV breakdowns. Amy and Samy don’t just dislike criticism; they are completely detached from the space-time continuum. They pocket tips, scream at customers, and claim to speak to cats. Gordon actually gives up and walks out. Blimey! Mill Street Bistro (Season 6, Episodes 11 & 12) Featuring Joe Nagy, a man who thinks he’s a culinary genius because he grows his own micro-greens. He shouts at Ramsay about the “bite” of his raw onions and claims his frozen elk is fresh. Absolute lunatic. Sebastian’s (Season 1, Episode 6) Sebastian created a “concept” menu with a matrix of 20 different flavor combinations that makes absolutely zero sense. He spends the episode screaming “This is my life!” and bragging about winning arguments he clearly lost. Burger Kitchen (Season 5, Episodes 5 & 6) A complete family tragedy disguised as a burger joint. The father stole his son’s inheritance to fund the place, the mother blames the “yelpers” for their failure, and they serve gray, lifeless meat patties. Nino’s Italian Restaurant (Season 6, Episode 10) “I’M NINOOOO!” The brother, Nino, does absolutely nothing except clean one spot on a window and shout his own name while his family runs themselves into an early grave. Dillon’s (Season 1, Episode 2) An absolute health hazard of a curry house. Ramsay finds… Read more »
Fucking boring you turned to TV slop now? Jesus what a waste of air
I remember Piccolo Teatro. I ended up not being able to stand the woman.
There was one that was located near a church and I remember it being super gross and stuff.
Nice list!!!
