u/Friendly-Chapter-530

Watched 5 episodes randomly from youtube and honestly no surprise that most of these restaurants shut down a few weeks or months after the episode airs. These people who appear on the show have made every last desperate effort to save their business before coming to gordon and are under huge debts and often go under legal trouble.

Most of these have a pathetic pantry with food weeks or months old still sitting and rotting there. Even the ones that do run for a long time like casa roma eventually fail because they go back to the same old habits and change their menu again.

I feel bad for the staff because they are actually good people but these owners shit the bed.
