You're forgetting that he's got an 80% failure rate, on 100% of restaurants that are already failing.
-
The only mistake Gordon ever made: Trusting people to actually change their shitty behaviour and practices.
-
Kitchen nightmares was not a failure at all. All of these restaurants were 100% going to fail without him. Him rescuing 15 is unbelievable and applaudable. Not to mentions I’m pretty sure the rate was higher but covid wiped some out that he had technically saved. That’s not his fault. Others chose to sell the restaurant, also not his fault. There’s a website that goes into great detail about every restaurant on the show. Can’t remember the name but it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
-
Fun fact: Amy and Sammy don’t just live in Israel as a choice, Sammy got deported that’s why they live there.
-
So basically, Gordon takes a terrible restaurant and gives it the chances of a average restaurant. That's actually impressive. When you frame it that way, the Ramsey Curse is nonsense.
-
The failure rate is 70% among ALL restaurants. Gordon's failure rate is 80% among the WORST restaurants. Arguably Gordon actually improved their chances a lot. To be relatively sure, you'd have to look at the failure rate among restaurants so bad they'd be on kitchen nightmares. Not sure how to quantify "bad"-ness though. Maybe Yelp reviews/ratings or hygiene inspection scores.
-
Finn McCool is a hero of Irish folklore. It makes total sense why an Irish restaurant would be named that…
-
Amys baking company it was found that Amy didnt even bake the deserts she bought them and lied about it 😂
-
Side note: whoever is running the Kitchen Nightmares channel is killing it with their video titles
-
If anything, the show proves that you can have a complete renovation from floor to ceiling, and an “idiot-proof” menu, but if you don’t know how to run a restaurant (or a business) in the first place, none of that will matter. Bar Rescue actually goes into a lot more of the numbers/accounting side of an establishment’s success, not just the food and aesthetics.
-
In Kitchen Nightmares Gordon Ramsay is a doctor who only treats people with stage 4 cancer on death's door. 15 is way more than I thought would be around.
-
Most restaurants fail, but Gordon Ramsay definitely helped because, it’s very astonishing that 15 restaurants survived for that long
-
The fact that 15 of the restaurants are still open is actually like amazingly stupendous if you know the industry. Most restaurants fail in the first 5 years. The restaurants in the show were either already failing or about to fail. The fact that he was able to bring back 20% of them and STILL be in business today is almost unbelievably good.
-
I think a good side of this show was to de-romanticize the idea of owning a restaurant. People will think about opening a business without really thinking about the crucial responsibilities to be successful: managing your employees in a non-abusive manner, maintaining cleanliness by the standards of the FDA, and keeping up with the additional costs or repairs of a whole new building besides your own home are a few things Gordon helped people consider
-
Finn McCool is a giant in Irish folklore, who created the giants causeway and ripped out a large chunk of land and tried to throw it at another giant in Scotland.
-
FYI Amy and her husband have broken up now and she went back to the US. He rants about her on his Facebook.
-
I mean, these restaurants were all absolutely horrendous. The fact that he managed to keep 15 of them open permanently is incredible.
-
Actually, if I recall right, this is partially why Gordon gave up in Kitchen Nightmares. I read that he got tired of dealing with the same problems over and over again, and knowing that most of the time, after he left, the owner would probably turn around and go right back to doing what had tanked their business in the first.
-
Coming from the industry, thats a surprisingly high success rate. People open restaurants all the time without knowing wtf theyre doing. Theyre incapable of managing it to his standards with him gone. These places were so bad too. Ive only worked at one place thats comparable and had to turn it around myself. Shit is hard ha

"frantic pee-pee dance" CRYING THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE 🤣🤣
