@@rcopterboy 70% of restaurants give or take, fail within the first year. by year 10 almost 90% have failed. A lot of these restaurants would have failed anyway. The reason why Gordon wanted to stop the show was because he got tired of revamping these restaurants, only to find out that the owners went back to their old ways, didn't stick to the changes, and having his name attached to them when they failed. Out of all the restaurants he "saved" less than 20 still exist, and almost all of the ones that failed reverted. The ones that found success, stuck with his advice. Not exactly surprising. Ramsey has failed in his restaurants. He's found success. All his advice and criticism was based on his experiences, it was up to the owners to realize that and change course.
To make it clear: "Zayna Grill" which is still open got nothing common with the people we've seen on this episode. Brenda sold it about a year after filming, so they didn't turn it around. The new owner kept the name, that's all.

There's one common theme with all the owners. They're all arrogant and stubborn and they never think their food is bad. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
Of course he is, they are not responsible for the majority of the shit they have to work with. He is not an asshole, he is just a business man that doesn't accept bullshit.
i'm surprised that she is still working there. The poor girl got cut off by her boss so many times and she is very stressed out, i would have quit in a few days
29:22 These kinds of episodes are the best, no rotten food, no rats , no cockroaches, and no morons who have no idea how to run a restaurant. Just an old timer who's set in his ways and needs a fresh start with his business and with his family ❤😊
Have you ever noticed how sweet all the waitresses are in every show? How do such likeable young girls end up working for such horrible people and stay nice?
It’s simple; jobs are hard to get, and they get less than minimum wage so they’re mostly dependent on tips (although it is the existence of tips in the first place that allows companies to pay less than minimum wage but that’s a whole other issue), and if they aren’t nice they don’t get tips
I got my first job at 13 at an Italian bakery and pizzeria and I was a super sweet girl who was shy and meek and I was too scared to quit so I worked there all throughout high school. Looking back, I realize the family running the business was super dysfunctional and I was too young to realize it.
I am happy that Pantaleones is îs still open, they really seemed like hard working good people. Pete was really disturbed to see hes son crying outside and hes wife begging him to change, it really pushed him to finally listen for their sake. 👏🏻
@@toaninh9120 Ah man, if only there was a way to look for information on the internet, it's a shame we never thought of anything easier than asking random people in comment sections. I think I might invent the world's first search engine, so you can find the readily available answer to your question!
Well, pantaleones is still open some 10 years after this episode was recorded in 2013. It aired in 2014 and whilst Pete complained about parts of the editing method, on the whole the episode was received well by the Pantaleone family. After the show aired, visits to the restaurant increased by an estimated 70% and they still get favourable reviews to this day.
I won't lie as an editor sometimes you can tell when they're purposefully using soundbites in different spots/cutting conversations to be worse - Pete seemed stubborn, but I feel like I would be a little peeved with the way it was presented lmao
@@Wesbert Yeah, it also made for a bit weird of a turnaround where he suddenly is utterly open to change. I assume more was said that maybe made things a bit less horrible that they cut out to make it seem interesting?
I’ve been there several times. They close down the restaurant section it’s more of a take out place. Pete is a character has some great conversations with him. The pizza didn’t look like what was shown on TV. It was good neighborhood pizza.
That's great to hear. Yeah it's obvious they commonly use sneaky and deceptive editing to increase drama and make everything seem more heated. That's one part I've always hated about kitchen nightmares episodes. I get that drama sells so I understand somewhat but personally I find episodes more entertaining and prefer when things are more wholesome and positive.
@@KEEGANATORGAMING I'm pretty sure that we have to respect each member in our family and treat them with kindness, you know, like a family??

I'm flattered you actually think I had it easy in my family/life, hope you have a nice day
From now on we should call Chef Gordon Ramsay Doctor Gordon Ramsay instead... When you've watched enough episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, you realize he is not only trying to fix a restaurant, he is also trying to fix a dysfunctional family...
You know, chef Ramsay comes across as an arrogant and rude sod at first, but I like how you can see he's actually a warm guy when you open up to him and start trusting him. I know he's doing this out of professional courtesy but he's really committed not just to business, but to people.
He's short tempered because grown adults in the profession should KNOW better. He thinks its better to be blunt and obvious, without hidden meaning, because it gets the point across clearly. He absolutely IS arrogant, and rude, but he's EARNED the right to be this way in his industry; few chef's have seen the same success as he has, and he knows his stuff. Its really clear when he comes back to visit previous failures and how happy he is to see their new success.
@@turtleneck369Have you not seen how the owners think they are the better than Ramsay?? That’s insane. These Restaurants called Ramsay for help. Why ask for help if you don’t listen to him ??
My food is a 10/10 or 12/10, It's the best you'll ever eat. when I hear that all I say is why did you call Ramsey for help or this owner/ cook is your typical ego drive "chef" that thinks their 💩 don't stink.
Then there's the soul food restaurant where the owner's so thoroughly disheartened that she thinks he'll hate the food. He ended up cleaning his plate because it was so tasty
😂😂😂 exactly, unless their talking about the empty chairs? Or their imaginary friend? Also when the food keeps coming back, chefs like “they don’t know what they’re talking about!”.
I don't think the first guy understands what "experience" means. He does NOT have more experience than Gordon because he has been a chef longer. He has been in the same place, doing the same thing since the 1980s. That is NOT building experience.
I read the comments to find this. Absolutely, if I would have been Brenda, I would have made a point of honor to first reprimand the son and telling him that he doesn't talk lilke that to the other employees and would have him apologized. But unfortunately, I think it's a mix of sexism and favoritism here... That's disgusting. As a boss, it's so important to show the member of your team that you care and you won't let anybody belittle them whether they are employees or customers.
the wife deserved to be on that private plane seeing how stubborn pete was and how loyal she was to him, and the business even when it wasn't doing well.
We think it's these families that have a problem, but we've been rewatching these episodes of Kitchen nightmares now for 10 years. We're the ones with the problem.
Faye and Brenda were against each other a lot but Faye never said a single thing that wasn't a dunk on someone else. She insists on doing everything than complains she's doing everything. I've met people like that before, they are impossible.
Faye is insufferable🙄 and how quick were her and Brenda to throw that waitress under the bus for telling the truth about where the dishes go🤣😱…super toxic work environment
That poor girl was treated like shit, I know she left not long after filming because Faye stayed an abusive bitch but I hope she's doing WAAAAY better now
Closing a restaurant on Sunday is like dropping a soap in prison shower willingly, ur competition is going to go deep behind u mate good luck with that
Lol! I think it’s a European thing (an out of date European thing at that) we close everything down on a Sunday. Try going to the supermarket in Spain on a Sunday! It’s changing, but for now they only open on a Sunday in tourist season
@@HRwoeking Think every basic necessity has been open in Finland for past 20+ years. This would be supermarkets, kiosks, pharmacy, restaurants. Some of the more unique or specific businesses close on sundays.
Gordon is just a naturally lovable character. He conveys what he's like outside of TV, never afraid to speak his mind but always, almost always doing it in a manner that's understandable for all sides and leaves the end user with hope towards change.
What was it like? I've met a few Greek people here in England where I live, and they were always very polite and respectful. However, I've never work for anyone from Greece, so they may be different in a work environment.
Fay can't even see she's the biggest problem. Her overly controlling and overbearing attitude makes her unable to trust anyone to do anything and being overly critical just because it may slightly differ from the way she does it, she automatically assumes they will fail. No one wants to be around her cos she's so authoritative, condescending, controlling, critical and negative. She doesn't know how to ask for help and doesn't accepts it when offered cos she has trust issues and keeps running herself into a cycle of burnout. It's a major shitstorm
@@xFukairix there have been accusations but that was quite some time ago and he's still together with his wife. Idk if it's true, maybe he learned from his mistakes and that's why he's so big on family yk
that poor waitress. I would loose my mind with a narcissistic boss like that. she's so conceded and "I can't be wrong". GROSS. I hope that poor girl (& others) found somewhere else to work; their work ethic seems 10/10 and they deserve the best.
Gordon: "Can you ask Mike very carefully to stop starring at me, because he's scary" Amel: "Hey Mike, he says stop starring at him cause you're creeping him out" Was that careful? LMAO
when one guy is telling someone "shut up" and swearing at her and the leader of the kitchen tells her "he wasn't yelling at you" yeah i would leave that kitchen if i was Amael too.
Pantaleones honestly hurt a lot, Pete was so oblivious he was destroying the entire business and his family, i hope he is still improving, and hopefully won't go back to the craziness from before.
I remember watching the episode about Pantaleone's just the other day and heard that people said it's still open Seeing this video now puts a smile to my face
Zanya Flaming Grill is technically still open but it has been taken over by a different owner since 2015. The previous one had gone back to her old habits, which may have something to do with that.
The owner Fayza at Zayna can't take the waitress Amel using the f word at her once but it's fine for her son Mark to yell f*** at Amel constantly in front of customers!?
When these shows were new on TV I never watched them. From the commercials I thought GR was a loudmouth boor 😅 Now that I’m older and wiser I quite enjoy him. If your business is failing and you have GR to help you why wouldn’t you listen to him? His approach is a little abrasive but I too, have respect and admiration for him.
If I had a nickle for every time a menu said "dinning" instead of "Dining" on a KN menu, I'd have 2 nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's HILARIOUS that it happened twice.
"I was cooking when he was a kid, i should know more than he does" Does that mean that my Dad should be better at football than messi because he is twice his age?? Doughnut of a bloke!!
lol my dad always says his era icon "pele" was better than cristiano and messi combined. probably because he scored bunch of goals in friendly matches against coastal guards and firemans.
@@anyq_CS No need to disrespect the true GOAT, Pele won THREE WORLD CUPS!! The only one he played in and didn't win (1966) he was so brutally fouled and injured he nearly quit the game.
Dudes, store bought brioche bites cut in half, CANNED tomato sauce warmed up with ground beef, and cheese on top, made in the oven, tastes better than how his pizza looks. Hell, even MICROWAVED would taste better i feel.
As a Guy could you imagine going through life always saying, "Thank you My Darling". Gordon and his approach is so smooth and on point. The Gals must love him!
That's a British thing. It's common to refer to wait staff with terms of endearments, especially if they're female. Think of how a local diner waitress may refer to regulars with "Hun" or "Sugar"
Hands down Pantalones is the greatest episode on kitchen nightmares, yes the story is tragic but the family eventually got their sh*t together and got better.
I am gonna disagree with you. The best episode on kitchen nightmares is Mama Maria's. The fact that the owner John has treated the restaurant not like an owner but like an employee is quiet sad, because he was afraid to change the ways that his late parents dealed the restaurant as he was a child. That episode touched my heart so much because John's personality & past is as same as mine and that treated me in a way that made me a better person than I am already.
@@hejsan5839290485 Pete saw his pizza compared to other places even a frozen store brought one just like a regular survey he got an unbiased answer from a crowd of people, that way his eyes really opened up. These people are always in denial because they never listen to anyone so perhaps a crowd of people would change their perspective for the better.
“Come here you man”!! “I love you you old Brit”. Those were the Best words I’ve ever heard. Chef Ramsey I lift my glass to you. You truly are a Hero ! I wonder if you know that ? ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
Thats.... actualy not that uncommon. When I cook for myself I think it is the best thing ever. When my Friends taste my food it is too spicy, too salty, too this, too that... The art of being a Chef is to hit that sweetspot that everybody likes and Ignore your personal preferences.
@@psymcdad8151 yeah I make some bomb burgers, and I always use siracha and lots of spicy shit cause I find it not spicy at all and enjoy the taste, but some may find it too spicy, I’ve never gotten salt and pepper wrong though
I actually go to there a couple times a month, have been getting that amazingly good big greasy pizza since 1995 there. I am happy to report the pizza went back to the way it used to be a few months after the show. I still frequent that restaurant today.
He's making Italian food and showing both where the food is coming from and the pictures of his family are far more important. They're pushing "family-owned" and "best pizza" not "This dude is Greek."
Y'know when you just get a bad feeling about a guy? Mark gives me that. Swearing at servers, lazying about, insecure laughing when not knowing what to say. Yuck. Mark the kinda guy who has every single dating app on his phone, drops a "'Sup, how you doing" to every girl, and is still bitter about not getting dates.
Story never gets old... delusional chef's family calls GR for help. Chef claims, 'Many people love my ***' but can't explain why the place is empty and they're losing money. ** Insert food type.
I sincerely believe that she made a mistake asking faye for help, im sure she was commited when she entered but grew tired of faye and so did the other staff
And I'm back. No matter how hard I try to escape I can never leave the endless cycle that is kitchen nightmares.
Embrace the cycle

Except Mark. He was basically calling Mark an idiot at first sight.
because the waiter is not directly involved with the kitchen so they dodged the bullet
He has no reason to not being polite and its common manners to be polite.

@@HRwoeking Think every basic necessity has been open in Finland for past 20+ years. This would be supermarkets, kiosks, pharmacy, restaurants. Some of the more unique or specific businesses close on sundays.
I fell asleep to these a lot in 2020, now I sometimes play them when I can't sleep
EXACTLY the same here
Me three 👁️👄👁️
Oh, same here! I thought I was the only one.
Same here even in 2024 now
Nino would never make any of these mistakes. He'd even take photos to prove that he didn't!
Underrated comment right there.
"I'm Ninoooo!" 😂👌
I love that we all bingers know who Nino is..
Nino never
I am officially a world class master chef cause I've watched so many hours of kitchen nightmares
Damn I feel bad for Amal, she can't get two sentences in without being interrupted and completely invalidated.
Gordon is just a naturally lovable character. He conveys what he's like outside of TV, never afraid to speak his mind but always, almost always doing it in a manner that's understandable for all sides and leaves the end user with hope towards change.
Fayza must be most rage inducing person ever
100%, she puts herself as victim and just blames constantly
seriously
was so frustrating watching that woman just shout over everyone and refuse to listen
Amel had the sweetest voice. I was shocked to hear her cussing because of her frustration. I hope they realize what a treasure she is!
LOL.. The spooky music strike as dude walks past the camera learing at Ramsay was comedy gold. Top tier editing. 50:49
You couldn’t pay me enough to work for a Greek restaurant owner again
What was it like?
I've met a few Greek people here in England where I live, and they were always very polite and respectful.
However, I've never work for anyone from Greece, so they may be different in a work environment.
lol…I’m a Greek girl and I wouldn’t do it either!
Now THIS is a pleasant vibe to start the day with. Restaurants that are STILL open! ❤️
well .... They went back on their words and are thrash again. So, not really.
It’s 5 in the evening for me
@@dimitar5734 only one of the restaurants out of this batch turned out to not really be changeable, don’t be so negative
@@dimitar5734 *trash
@@Maqya Which one?
Fay can't even see she's the biggest problem. Her overly controlling and overbearing attitude makes her unable to trust anyone to do anything and being overly critical just because it may slightly differ from the way she does it, she automatically assumes they will fail. No one wants to be around her cos she's so authoritative, condescending, controlling, critical and negative. She doesn't know how to ask for help and doesn't accepts it when offered cos she has trust issues and keeps running herself into a cycle of burnout. It's a major shitstorm
At the start of the episode I thought they're both the problem (her and Brenda) but through out she just got worse and worse jesus christ
Gordon always emphasises the importance of family. I respect him for that.
Didn't he cheat on his wife tho?
@@xFukairix there have been accusations but that was quite some time ago and he's still together with his wife. Idk if it's true, maybe he learned from his mistakes and that's why he's so big on family yk
@@xFukairix No, he didn't. There were allegations but nothing came up to be true! They are happily married with kids.
that poor waitress. I would loose my mind with a narcissistic boss like that. she's so conceded and "I can't be wrong". GROSS. I hope that poor girl (& others) found somewhere else to work; their work ethic seems 10/10 and they deserve the best.
Gordon: *making a completely senseful, correct, unshakeable point*
Pete: Im going to disagree with you on that *refuses to elaborate further*
Love the "Never had this much food come back", well yeah you've never been this busy since opening/ever
Gordon: "Can you ask Mike very carefully to stop starring at me, because he's scary"
Amel: "Hey Mike, he says stop starring at him cause you're creeping him out"
Was that careful? LMAO
that was hilarious though :D
Lmao I fucking love her! She's also beautiful, not gonna lie!
when one guy is telling someone "shut up" and swearing at her and the leader of the kitchen tells her "he wasn't yelling at you" yeah i would leave that kitchen if i was Amael too.
i love that argument "ive been doing this longer than you, i know what im doing" also doesnt mean you excelled in it
Gordon ramsay isnt just a professional chef he is a family counselor, therapist, teacher and an unintentional comedian
Pantaleones honestly hurt a lot, Pete was so oblivious he was destroying the entire business and his family, i hope he is still improving, and hopefully won't go back to the craziness from before.
Pantaleone's is still open and has a 4.3 star rewiev on yelp I believe (:
@@mannistemakkeI live like 20 minutes away it's still open
I remember watching the episode about Pantaleone's just the other day and heard that people said it's still open
Seeing this video now puts a smile to my face
Puting smile in my pants too
whoever runs this channel is just spoiling us at this rate we love u
Zanya Flaming Grill is technically still open but it has been taken over by a different owner since 2015. The previous one had gone back to her old habits, which may have something to do with that.
Thank god, they dont deserve that restaurant at all.
The owner Fayza at Zayna can't take the waitress Amel using the f word at her once but it's fine for her son Mark to yell f*** at Amel constantly in front of customers!?
I just started watching kitchen nightmares and man my view of Gordon Ramsay completely changed I have so much respect for him now, I admire him.
When these shows were new on TV I never watched them. From the commercials I thought GR was a loudmouth boor 😅 Now that I’m older and wiser I quite enjoy him. If your business is failing and you have GR to help you why wouldn’t you listen to him? His approach is a little abrasive but I too, have respect and admiration for him.
I love Pete. My heart just melts when he cried and hugged Gordon 🥺
Dude’s a narcissist. Every sentence out of his dumbass mouth “I this” “me that” “my restaurant”
The way they edited Mark at Zayna's was so funny 😂
"i had better cat food" "really?" "yes" "where did you eat cat food?" "long story" lmfao hahahha
If I had a nickle for every time a menu said "dinning" instead of "Dining" on a KN menu, I'd have 2 nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's HILARIOUS that it happened twice.
If you are running a restaurant and not eating your competition’s product 1-2x a week, you are doing something really wrong.
HOLY CRAP AT 12:47 HE LITERALLY POKES THE PIZZA AND THE SOUND EFFECT KILLED ME LMFAO
I think I'm addicted to this show
funny how i watch it to pass the time
chef ramsay: i need to get some fresh air
pete: *i disagree with you*
This channel just retitles the episodes and we watch them again and again like they’re something new
"Chef Ramsay is a remarkable man" - 110% CORRECT Mr Gordon Ramsay is an angel from above. Lots of love and respect from Cape Town, South Africa!!
More like an ANGEL IN DEVIL'S CLOTHING.
"I was cooking when he was a kid, i should know more than he does"
Does that mean that my Dad should be better at football than messi because he is twice his age?? Doughnut of a bloke!!
lol my dad always says his era icon "pele" was better than cristiano and messi combined. probably because he scored bunch of goals in friendly matches against coastal guards and firemans.
@@anyq_CS No need to disrespect the true GOAT, Pele won THREE WORLD CUPS!! The only one he played in and didn't win (1966) he was so brutally fouled and injured he nearly quit the game.
@@anyq_CS pelé would be average at most in todays era
It should be a wake up call not a fucking boast in their brains,
Dudes,
store bought brioche bites cut in half, CANNED tomato sauce warmed up with ground beef, and cheese on top, made in the oven, tastes better than how his pizza looks. Hell, even MICROWAVED would taste better i feel.
As a Guy could you imagine going through life always saying, "Thank you My Darling".
Gordon and his approach is so smooth and on point. The Gals must love him!
That's a British thing. It's common to refer to wait staff with terms of endearments, especially if they're female. Think of how a local diner waitress may refer to regulars with "Hun" or "Sugar"
@@xFukairix Well, if a pretty Waitress serve me, I would always say thank you so much. Maybe ihat's a Canadian thing.
Most of my workmates are men. Those from the UK will often say darling or love when thanking you for something. It's just the way they talk
@@suzannekirkwood6392 Thank you my Darling or Sweetheart or Hun.
Hands down Pantalones is the greatest episode on kitchen nightmares, yes the story is tragic but the family eventually got their sh*t together and got better.
I am gonna disagree with you. The best episode on kitchen nightmares is Mama Maria's. The fact that the owner John has treated the restaurant not like an owner but like an employee is quiet sad, because he was afraid to change the ways that his late parents dealed the restaurant as he was a child. That episode touched my heart so much because John's personality & past is as same as mine and that treated me in a way that made me a better person than I am already.
I like how we are arguing about which episode is the best
@@anyone7765 I love our generation
@@hejsan5839290485 Pete saw his pizza compared to other places even a frozen store brought one just like a regular survey he got an unbiased answer from a crowd of people, that way his eyes really opened up. These people are always in denial because they never listen to anyone so perhaps a crowd of people would change their perspective for the better.
@@maherghazali6944 Am a gonna disagree with you
'I think Chef Ramsey has not tasted a classic Pizza before, He's tasted all these fancy stuff, you know'...😂😂
“Come here you man”!! “I love you you old Brit”. Those were the Best words I’ve ever heard. Chef Ramsey I lift my glass to you. You truly are a Hero ! I wonder if you know that ? ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
He knows
How delusional of him to just flat out reject any and all criticism and even when tasting his own food, he believes it to be the best.
Thats.... actualy not that uncommon. When I cook for myself I think it is the best thing ever. When my Friends taste my food it is too spicy, too salty, too this, too that... The art of being a Chef is to hit that sweetspot that everybody likes and Ignore your personal preferences.
@@psymcdad8151 yeah I make some bomb burgers, and I always use siracha and lots of spicy shit cause I find it not spicy at all and enjoy the taste, but some may find it too spicy, I’ve never gotten salt and pepper wrong though
"Pete are you willing to change?"
"No."
30 seconds later.
"Are you committed?"
"Yes. I am ready to change."
Sorry Gordon, but when I'm hungry, that giant greasy pizza is exactly what I want.
I actually go to there a couple times a month, have been getting that amazingly good big greasy pizza since 1995 there. I am happy to report the pizza went back to the way it used to be a few months after the show. I still frequent that restaurant today.
Weird that you frequent the restaurant when they stopped fine in and only deliver or do takeout. And the only thing that remained was the crust.
You must have missed the part where the poor waitress informed ramsay that was their "thin crust"
I love how when average people see Gordon they try to act like the top class food judges 😂 “it tastes like cat food”
Gordon: whereabouts in Italy are you from?
Pete: I’m from Greece
Gordon: *fills restaurant with pictures of Italy
He's making Italian food and showing both where the food is coming from and the pictures of his family are far more important. They're pushing "family-owned" and "best pizza" not "This dude is Greek."
Yep, probably the 4th time I've watched these over ten years. Still hooked
Y'know when you just get a bad feeling about a guy? Mark gives me that. Swearing at servers, lazying about, insecure laughing when not knowing what to say. Yuck. Mark the kinda guy who has every single dating app on his phone, drops a "'Sup, how you doing" to every girl, and is still bitter about not getting dates.
He has a massive creep vibe.
„It’s tastes the way it looked. Dreadful.“ legend
Jeez I'm like addicted to this show .......I can't stop watching Ramsay and his critiques I mean he's got my respect
Zayna may still be open, but it’s not the same owner. Not saying that the current owner is doing a bad job like Faye.
You know it's a good restaurant when the owners response to criticism is "NUH UH"
The reviews on Google maps are great and it's still closed on Sunday and Monday 😂👍
12:00 that pizza looks so gross but I'd probably still eat that whole thing by myself when I'm having a low self-esteem day
Story never gets old... delusional chef's family calls GR for help. Chef claims, 'Many people love my ***'
but can't explain why the place is empty and they're losing money.
** Insert food type.
Chef Ramsay has got to be the funniest person when i come to saying something poopy about food on the spot
"It's ridiculous" after serving him canned food on linguini pasta haha
Only in Kitchen nightmares, can 16 slices of pizza equate to 10% approval rate.
I sincerely believe that she made a mistake asking faye for help, im sure she was commited when she entered but grew tired of faye and so did the other staff
