@Wakanda DQ Official The reason behind the name doesn't matter when the people running the show make it feel like what Gordon said is true. Watch it again and put yourself in their stead, how hard would you try to make it work. And how hard did they try? It felt justified what he said, the present is the present and the past is the past. Life is hard. They got that too seeing they closed this thing.
Also Gordon's brain: I will go puke in the bathroom for anything even remotely untasteful, but I can touch all kinds of rotten things, etc , because I'm on TV...

The camera man is savage when the chef says that he didn't have any plastic in his kitchen and here boom the camera man show all the plastic he use in his kitchen😂😂
@TehAnimationSparxx Their are multiple camera crew's filming everything inside the restaurant you dolt. Every single episode of Kitchen Nightmares follows the same formula. Gordon orders his food and one crew films the chef cooking his meal while a seperate crew stays with Gordon to film everything he does and says. They don't have one crew run around back and forth every time Gordon talks crap about the chef. They don't even know what each team has filmed until after filming is done. It's up to the editors to watch the hundreds or thousands of hours of combined footage (along with static cameras) and include those shots in the right sequence to makes the most of those shots. That's why it takes months for episodes to be edited for TV. The camera crews don't run off on their own. That's not how a production like this works. You act like this is some sort of live basketball or football game that cameramen have to constantly follow the action on. This is 100% thanks to the editors.

Madelyn: "I'm not a hostess, I'm not a waitress, I just own it. I know nothing about the food" So rude to say to a customer. If you own the place you should know everything about it
She came across like a real b*tch at times. Like telling the lady customer she had to leave her jacket up front. I'd straight up have told her to shove it.
ya, i thought she could've said, I'm just an extra hand today, or I'm the owner's wife. The guy next to her was getting a kick out of it, until she said, bombed w/, I'm just the owner.
Restaurant owners really do need to be familiar with their food. They may not be cooking it, but ultimately they're the ones selling it. They should taste everything on the menu at some point (except foods to which they're allergic, of course), and be able to describe/recommend dishes.
While honest.. Any owner that can say that when looking at things realistically or not.. Is a terrible owner. You should know the business you own in and out. No matter what said business is.
Gordon helped the owner move on. He found closure somewhat and then he could go back to the construction industry for himself, instead of carrying on a restaurant for his brother which is a beautiful sentiment but wasn't truly for himself. Amazing what a change on the inside can do.
Update: Pj's closed a few weeks after the episode was filmed because the owners couldn't keep up with the debts. They returned to their construction business and a german restaurant was opened in place of Pj's
@Sexy Killer Can y’all suggest me aby episode where the restaurant didn’t shut down 😂 every episode i watch, i see someone commenting that the restaurant is not running anymore
12:13 did she just ask that woman if she wanted her to take her coat? The woman said she was comfortable, and she said the woman had to leave her coat at the front? Did I hear that right???
So stupid. I would have walked out and never come back. What a stupid reason to lose a customer (and get a negative reputation among their friends/family) for ever.
The fact Gordon brought in his people, top of their game and paid their wages. Wow. What a guy. I saw Enda at the London. He is an amazing maitre D. The energy that chef brought with him was so good. When he said it’s for you Joe was so touching.
His mannerisms are quite polished and his accent is quite rustic. I can see how he can make you at ease. The chef was really there not only for his own pride, but for the owner's success. Top head chef material
@@ЛаураМаметова-з5э does not mean he didn't do all he could. It was more that the owners realized their own folley in opening a restauraunt and that their motivations were off.
I love how Gordon sees how bad Eric is but convinced the owners to “give him Another try”, next segment Gordon introduces a mixed grill- he knew what he was doing!
Reminds me a little of the scene in The Menu with the dish that came to be known as 'Tyler's Bullshit'. I knew from the start that Eric is full of it... and Gordon put him on the spot by making him cook something that matches the level he boasts of being.
Having to wait an hour for food at a restaurant is ridiculous, if it wasn't for the studio asking everyone to wait for the food, they would've likely left after 20 minutes

I’m finding myself rewatching these episodes for the millionth time. Idk why but I just love Gordon. And this show is a good show honestly. It’s not like today’s reality tv.
Whoever produces this show is a genius. They always capture the best B-role footage to help create some form of quaint geographical ambience for the viewer. Chef Ramsay was built for the television. And he’s surprisingly terrific with relationship advice. Great show, I wish they’d resume production after COVID-19.
@@nyk3334 no problem! It sucks you can’t get access to the ALL4 service (I assume you’re not from the UK) :/ but hopefully they might do a KN and upload the episodes at some point! :)

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else. Gets me frustrated. Just admit that you love the videos I make, my dear laur
Following Gordan Ramsay’s visit, business improved slightly over the next few weeks. Due to increasing debts, however, the owners were forced to close it down in the summer of 2009. Looking back, that may have been a wise decision seeing as how most of the reviews prior to closing were negative. Since then, Joe is said to have returned to the construction business. Today, a German restaurant called Manor Oktoberfest operates in PJ’s old location. Going by their solid four-star rating on Yelp, they seem to be doing fairly well.
The debt servicing had already hit the point of no return even if the restaurant turned around successfully. The bad economic times during this period also would have made that even more challenging to attract consistent customer bases.
"i dont have plastic in the kitchen" camra man: yea i ddont think so also i am amazed how Joe is like "why should i give af of how we poison customers or how disgusting our food is i just drink wine and watch tv" also: "pepole come here just for me" someone: thats disgusting
@Jay Leno they upload consistently and often engage with the community? they’ve made this show a great deal more popular by this as well? there’s really no issue with being appreciative of someone’s work ethic
Community update: the restaurant closed a few weeks after filming was done. By the time the episode aired, the restaurant had been closed for almost 2 years. So sad.
I would go just to have the experience, I would want to prove to myself I can tell bad food from good lol 😆 or just to prove Gordon has bouji taste buds. Either way I'd enjoy the experience
@@user-xm6wg1lc5w mate she's a fucking kid who is tired and grumpy and wants food. Kids usually eat at around 4 but they only got their food at like 7. Let it go
Honestly Gordon is a sweetheart. He is literally offering to pay for a new chef. The amount of compassion he has, he literally genuinely wants the best for these people
@@oliviagroenier What’s cringe is being okay with the English language getting decimated, seeing people talk like they are missing a lobe in their brain.
He wasn’t paying for a new chef, he let them borrow one of his for a month on his dime. The chef is given a month to get whoever is already working there up to speed on the menu so throughout time they can achieve their own master abilities
Honestly the “Mix grill” was Gordon’s way to say F U to Eric cuz it is literally 8 items that have to be cooked separately with different timings lol and Gordon knew he couldn’t do it lmao. This show is a set up! Lmao 🤣 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hate kitchen shows but I love this one with Gordon. The fact that he pulled out wee camcorder while he had whole filming crew with him, was just brilliant :D
26:34 You can tell this guy didn't wanna even complain, he looked and sounded like he felt so bad. Shame on Chef's who cook like this and make everyone else look and feel like jerks for not being satisfied.
*"Whats wrong with our restaurant?? Cuz I have no idea, please Gordon help us figure it out!!!"* It's the food. It's ALWAYS THE FOOD. *EVERY FKIN TIME.* except for that 1 time

You can tell the husband owner is still in a deep depression and dealing with alcoholism. At certain points in interviews he is speaking in cursive. So sad. Grief and addiction together are a monster.
@@Jj-ux1wf plus Gordon developed a type of illness (can’t remember what it was called) when he was filming which was another reason they stopped filming, don’t blame them tbh
THESE OWNERS! MY GOD! "I'm only the owner. I know nothing about the food." "Why should I have to come back here and make sure this is done (the kitchen area/stocks are kept clean)!" WTH is WRONG with these owners?
I will say as a cook myself, that mixed grill item is absurd. The people manning the grill, sauté, and fryer now all have to coordinate more than ever to get these small items out at the same time in a restaurant that already has timing issues. That behemoth plate was added out of spite lmao
Crab cakes are an easy way to tell whether the restaurant uses fresh or canned food, the same goes for ravioli. Additionally, a home made ravioli would tell Gordon what the chefs taste and ability is like
Closing the restaurant must have been an extremely tough decision but I'm happy for them that they had the courage to acknowledge that the restaurant business wasn't for them.
My wife and I ate at Ramseys in Las Vegas. I got a filet Mignon and it was the best I have ever eaten in my whole life. It was a great experience. We even caught a glimpse of Chef Ramsey. Going to that restaurant was the highlight of my trip (I don’t care for gambling; my wife likes it).

Oh my freakin' word. 40 minutes build up to such a pivotal change, success, excitement, hard work, and hope! Then the last 30 seconds... Are you freaking kidding me!!
GR's point about timing is crucial. I asked a friend who cooked me Xmas dinner a couple of years ago if he didn't find the timings tricky (it's something I have to be really careful about myself) . "Oh, no", he said blithely, and then put the brussels sprouts on the table 20 minutes before taking the turkey out of the oven.
"The steak is flavorless." "Red meat is red meat. I don't know what you expect me to do about it!" ...But his complaint wasn't 'This steak is red meat'. His complaint was the steak is flavorless.

Why is nobody noticing that the owner (woman) is extremely rude to the customers
Probably because it was the least of their problems!! There weren’t many customers to be rude to lol
@@GIBBO4182 lol
@Sexy Killer lol
@Sexy Killer Can y’all suggest me aby episode where the restaurant didn’t shut down 😂 every episode i watch, i see someone commenting that the restaurant is not running anymore
@@cookliet8444 the handlebar was very successful until they had to sell it in 2010, and the owner died of cancer 5 years later
12:13 did she just ask that woman if she wanted her to take her coat? The woman said she was comfortable, and she said the woman had to leave her coat at the front? Did I hear that right???
I heard that, strange in house policy 😂
I thought that was bizarre.
So stupid. I would have walked out and never come back. What a stupid reason to lose a customer (and get a negative reputation among their friends/family) for ever.
What is this nazioccuiped Germany?
The fact Gordon brought in his people, top of their game and paid their wages. Wow. What a guy. I saw Enda at the London. He is an amazing maitre D. The energy that chef brought with him was so good. When he said it’s for you Joe was so touching.
His mannerisms are quite polished and his accent is quite rustic. I can see how he can make you at ease.
The chef was really there not only for his own pride, but for the owner's success. Top head chef material
@@Maninawig The restaurant closed after a week.
@@ЛаураМаметова-з5э does not mean he didn't do all he could. It was more that the owners realized their own folley in opening a restauraunt and that their motivations were off.
He has a big Heart 🥰
@Sexy Killer wasted 1.2 million
The way she talks about how nothing is more important (not even her dream home) than getting her husband back is touching.
“this restaurant gave me my husband back!!”
camera pans to the empty shell sitting at the bar all night tossing drinks back
Yes, but did she really get her husband back? He seems pretty depressed to me.
End of show shows "he's BACK" )))
Madeline: "I'm not a waitress. Not a hostess. So I know nothing about food. I only own it!"

Eric eating popcorn and smiling at people saying how shit he is in the cam footage is the level of scumbaggery that sets a bar, lol.
I can't believe the owners kept him even after that disgusting attitude
"Scumbaggery" is my favorite word of the century!
I love how Gordon sees how bad Eric is but convinced the owners to “give him
Another try”, next segment Gordon introduces a mixed grill- he knew what he was doing!
Hmmm…
Hmmm are saying Gordon purposely did that because he knew Eric was not worth a damn at getting the task done.
😅
@@CarlosColon-m7iQuestions questions.
Reminds me a little of the scene in The Menu with the dish that came to be known as 'Tyler's Bullshit'.
I knew from the start that Eric is full of it... and Gordon put him on the spot by making him cook something that matches the level he boasts of being.
Having to wait an hour for food at a restaurant is ridiculous, if it wasn't for the studio asking everyone to wait for the food, they would've likely left after 20 minutes
ive been to hells kitchen and waited for almost an hour lol ive waited an hour at restaurants plenty of times, sometimes more
@@Enerva_Ursa was the food good when you went I have always just wanted to have a time to just see if I could get on the list but I know I won't anymore but was the food good.
A 30-45 min wait can be relatively normal at high-end and very busy restaurants. This restaurant was neither
@BaileyCloutier yeah I had their beef wellington it was actually really really good. it was the hells kitchen in miami
it wasnt like, on the show, but the kitchen is still segmented to blue and red like the show
"Time for a 360"
That's.. that's going in a circle Joe..

I’m finding myself rewatching these episodes for the millionth time. Idk why but I just love Gordon. And this show is a good show honestly. It’s not like today’s reality tv.
I hope to meet him one day.
I totally agree
I love how when the owner or chef tells that they’re not doing a certain wrong thing, the camera instantly cuts to them doing exactly that.
Whoever produces this show is a genius. They always capture the best B-role footage to help create some form of quaint geographical ambience for the viewer. Chef Ramsay was built for the television. And he’s surprisingly terrific with relationship advice. Great show, I wish they’d resume production after COVID-19.
@@eire02 thank you so much.
@@eire02 so far the best I can find are clips but it’s pretty cool! Thanks for the recommendation!
@@nyk3334 no problem! It sucks you can’t get access to the ALL4 service (I assume you’re not from the UK) :/ but hopefully they might do a KN and upload the episodes at some point! :)

This is such a wholesome comment, I love it
Just shocks me. The one thing in the world I cannot do very well is cook, but I know how to keep my fridge clean and throw out expired food and just maintain basic ass standards
"I know Eric is a good chef. So what's to be nervous about?"
Camera cuts to Eric trying the food straight from the ladle.
They dont put that ladl back in. they have like 10 on standby to try and then its washed and put back. notice you didnt see him put it back in the pan
40 minutes of a heartbreaking story and immense effort just for them to go back to construction 😭
someone finally said it
My jaw actually dropped at that and I was just baffled
LOL
They had no business in restaurants.
Don't be such a crybaby, people like this don't have good business with restaurants, so i think we should be happy they closed down
its a good day when a new episode gets posted. cured my depression

There is an alt account among us
I often google when these episodes came out. Gordon's got a heckin' _CAMCORDER_
Following Gordan Ramsay’s visit, business improved slightly over the next few weeks. Due to increasing debts, however, the owners were forced to close it down in the summer of 2009. Looking back, that may have been a wise decision seeing as how most of the reviews prior to closing were negative. Since then, Joe is said to have returned to the construction business.
Today, a German restaurant called Manor Oktoberfest operates in PJ’s old location. Going by their solid four-star rating on Yelp, they seem to be doing fairly well.
My god
These comments need to be highlighted under each video

Those ppl were came that day,just to see Gordon Ramsay
The debt servicing had already hit the point of no return even if the restaurant turned around successfully. The bad economic times during this period also would have made that even more challenging to attract consistent customer bases.
"i dont have plastic in the kitchen"
camra man: yea i ddont think so
also i am amazed how Joe is like "why should i give af of how we poison customers or how disgusting our food is i just drink wine and watch tv"
also: "pepole come here just for me"
someone: thats disgusting
I think those cameramen are just hidden cameras, but they're controlled by people so that makes sense as well
Who is Joe?

@@knrtn439 You fool. You fell to one of the classic blunders.

@@gabby_5820 but somehow in one restaurant the owner was like "you bought the dead mice for the show"
I love that Gordon does market research with a crappy camcorder... and a large camerateam.
she is so helpless and seeing Gordon emphasize was just chef's kiss (THAT MAN IS WALKING CHEF'S KISS)
Whoever this dude is deserves his own private island cause he's doing godly work rn
He's one of the best chefs in the world... He probably does
@@AM-jx3zf I was talking about the account-
@Jay Leno they upload consistently and often engage with the community? they’ve made this show a great deal more popular by this as well? there’s really no issue with being appreciative of someone’s work ethic
@Jay Leno are you that hard to impress? The channel is literally entertaining millions. Especially helpful during quarantine. Pretty impressive :P
@Jay Leno nice attitude mate
because nobody mentioned it: how rude is Madalyn to the customers?!
Fucking FAXXX
She's like gordon but with bad food
Scarlet Gordon isn’t rude to customers. Just incompetent chefs and restaurants owners
Time stamp? Sorry I was kust listening to this ep while doing chores
@@loveuwonicaaa 1:41 and 14:28
Gordon makes me cry. He can be such intimidating and be empathetic at the same time. That wall of memory was awesome
Community update: the restaurant closed a few weeks after filming was done. By the time the episode aired, the restaurant had been closed for almost 2 years. So sad.
Thank you
I have a feeling that people come to the restaurants when Gorden is there just to hate the Food for a Kitchen Nightmares episode 😂😂😂
They actually put on local ads for his visit, so even dying empty places are full when gordon is testing how the kitchen runs.
Exactly because wtf
I would go just to have the experience, I would want to prove to myself I can tell bad food from good lol 😆 or just to prove Gordon has bouji taste buds. Either way I'd enjoy the experience

Honestly Gordon is a sweetheart. He is literally offering to pay for a new chef. The amount of compassion he has, he literally genuinely wants the best for these people
Please stop misusing and abusing the word ”literally.” You clearly don’t know the definition of it. So cringe.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465whats cringe is you giving af 😭
@@oliviagroenier
What’s cringe is being okay with the English language getting decimated, seeing people talk like they are missing a lobe in their brain.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465LMAOOOOOO TS SO SAD
He wasn’t paying for a new chef, he let them borrow one of his for a month on his dime. The chef is given a month to get whoever is already working there up to speed on the menu so throughout time they can achieve their own master abilities
Honestly the “Mix grill” was Gordon’s way to say F U to Eric cuz it is literally 8 items that have to be cooked separately with different timings lol and Gordon knew he couldn’t do it lmao. This show is a set up! Lmao 🤣 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol you’re right
To be fair, a pro should be able to do it, especially considering how many reps of the same dish he was getting.
"I dont have plastic in my kitchen"
Proceeds to show everything covered in plastic
We all have eyes too.
Well we all have a little Barbie in us (✨the microplastics✨)
I hate kitchen shows but I love this one with Gordon. The fact that he pulled out wee camcorder while he had whole filming crew with him, was just brilliant :D
I love how it was suddenly stormy when they were firing Eric outside. Really adds to the cinematics and the mood.
26:34 You can tell this guy didn't wanna even complain, he looked and sounded like he felt so bad. Shame on Chef's who cook like this and make everyone else look and feel like jerks for not being satisfied.
*"Whats wrong with our restaurant?? Cuz I have no idea, please Gordon help us figure it out!!!"*
It's the food.
It's ALWAYS THE FOOD.
*EVERY FKIN TIME.*
except for that 1 time
Remember Momma Cherri's. He cleaned the plate...the one time he liked the food I can think of.
@@Beccardi83 I edited the comment
@@VocaDollGW2 😃👍
Yeah when it came to Amy’s the owners were the problem! 🤣
@@Beccardi83 no he also once liked a crab cake but didn't like the rest of the food and also liked the cakes of Amy's baking company and in a restaurant where he found a rat he liked the dessert made by the mom of the owner and he liked the tiramisu made by the owner rita of la Galleria 33
Lots of kudos to the new chef! He really brought a lot of positive energy in to that kitchen. Too bad it didn't work out in the end.
"I don't have plastic in my kitchen"

You can tell the husband owner is still in a deep depression and dealing with alcoholism. At certain points in interviews he is speaking in cursive. So sad. Grief and addiction together are a monster.

It probably won't because these shows were stopped since most restaurants reverted back and all the work Gordon put in went to waste
@@Jj-ux1wf yeah but it was fun watching Gordon yell
@@Jj-ux1wf plus Gordon developed a type of illness (can’t remember what it was called) when he was filming which was another reason they stopped filming, don’t blame them tbh
@@caitlananne I mean who wouldn't get an illness touching all that gross stuff and eating from those kitchens
i wish i had as much confidence as these chefs have. they're always so sure that the problem is in everything but their cooking skills lol

HEY YOU LEFT YOUR CAP LOCK ON
@@procynlotorllc OH SHIT THANKS FOR REMINDING ME DUDE
NO PROBLEM
@@procynlotorllc YOU ARE A COOL PERSON
Yknow he's got this smirk almost like he's laughing, so I think he doesnt really believe it himself.
I’m convinced Gordon has deal with the grim reaper in order to keep himself from dying after trying all this trash food
you know Gordon is excited, not when he smiles, but when he starts hopping from foot to foot and nyooooooming around the room
Chef:"I get a lot of compliments man"
Ramsay:"from who the place is empty!!"
Lol it's a shame
THESE OWNERS! MY GOD! "I'm only the owner. I know nothing about the food."
"Why should I have to come back here and make sure this is done (the kitchen area/stocks are kept clean)!"
WTH is WRONG with these owners?
In case you didn’t here the husband he clearly stated at the beginning he has given up
"If it were me I'd be down here with a toothbrush" like... Sir the restaurant is yours.
Why the hell these two went into customer service I’ll never know , glad they failed
They are fcked since the start.
I will say as a cook myself, that mixed grill item is absurd. The people manning the grill, sauté, and fryer now all have to coordinate more than ever to get these small items out at the same time in a restaurant that already has timing issues. That behemoth plate was added out of spite lmao
I swear, Gordon orders crab cake whenever it's available in the menu
To be fair, crab cakes!
Orders crab cakes and ravioli 😄
Crab cakes are an easy way to tell whether the restaurant uses fresh or canned food, the same goes for ravioli. Additionally, a home made ravioli would tell Gordon what the chefs taste and ability is like
*Crap* cakes.
Gordon 100% knows it gonna be crap cakes.
Closing the restaurant must have been an extremely tough decision but I'm happy for them that they had the courage to acknowledge that the restaurant business wasn't for them.
The chef looks more drunk than the owner
Idk, the owner looks pretty damn drunk
@@fredriksvard2603 that's because he actually drinks.
The chef is just naturally intoxicated
'They decided to close PJ's Grill, and return to the construction business'.

My wife and I ate at Ramseys in Las Vegas. I got a filet Mignon and it was the best I have ever eaten in my whole life. It was a great experience. We even caught a glimpse of Chef Ramsey. Going to that restaurant was the highlight of my trip (I don’t care for gambling; my wife likes it).
That's dope, man! I love the picture by the way, Spawn is a spectacular character

When Gordon Ramsay walk into a restaurant, I feel like a HERO is walking in and going to save each other.

It can be a "success" of a different kind. They had a massive financial hole and this show may have made that hole less deep upon moment of sale.

Madeline is one hell of a wife.
Sold her custom dream house, to keep the restaurant for her husband.
The fact that they are enjoying their popcorn while watching their restaurant get roasted on video - tells you everything you need to know.
Only the cook himself was really eating the popcorn and smiling, the owners actually took it seriously
GR's point about timing is crucial. I asked a friend who cooked me Xmas dinner a couple of years ago if he didn't find the timings tricky (it's something I have to be really careful about myself) . "Oh, no", he said blithely, and then put the brussels sprouts on the table 20 minutes before taking the turkey out of the oven.
6:14
"he found a piece of plastic in there"
"fuck him"
finding plastic isn't even a critique bruh 💀
"If it was me, I'd be down there with a toothbrush."
😳😐 It's your restaurant.. 😒
"The steak is flavorless."
"Red meat is red meat. I don't know what you expect me to do about it!"
...But his complaint wasn't 'This steak is red meat'. His complaint was the steak is flavorless.
Ikr,the argument didn't make sense at all
I know I was just thinking the same thing season your dam meat then it wouldn't be flavourless it doesn't take a Michelin star chef to know that I can barely cook toast and even i know that 😂😂😂
