Chappy had to close his restaurant in 2013 after not paying taxes. He blames this on this episode in a National Enquirer article. He then opened another restaurant in Nov 2013. That one closed a year later in 2014. In 2014, Chappy opened yet another one in 2015 in New Orleans. A year later - closed. In 2016 he opened "Rum Kitchen" which lasted this time - until 2021 when it was sold to a different owner.
I always hate it when the restaurants blame Gordon Ramsay for ‘ruining their restaurant’. Dude. Get a mirror and a conscience. I’m glad that Chappy failed.
i found this video in the recommended section while watching a video about amy's baking company, its very apparent that Gordon feels very strongly about respecting waitstaff, and i really appreciate that about him
@@MegaTkls if they keep bringing you the wrong food three times in a row and have you wait 40 minutes to get your real order (despite you and your friend being the first ones to enter the restaurant and order) kinda. But eh, I decided to play it classy and go tell the owner that "hey man, we've been waiting for 40 minutes and got the wrong food 3 times, is it ready or what?"
People give Gordon shit for being rude but he is the most polite and nice man ever. He is just extremely honest and can tell when a cocky chef needs to be humbled. He can act like a know it all cuz he does know it all (restaurant wise)
People are superficial morons, that's why they give people talking freely crap. Saving face (oh no, what will the neighbors think of me when I swear?!!!! CAN'T BE) is more important than truth and integrity. They would much rather be around an asshole while noone calls anyone an asshole than around an honest person calling out an asshole for what they are.
Chappy seemed really genuine for about 30 seconds after the scene where they sat in the car and watched and listened to people talk about the restaurant then again it was excuses.
@@juliethomas66Why the hate? She's clearly just defending her husband but she was really quick to adjust her view when the issues were presented to her. By then she could be blaming her husband but she instead tried to lit a fire under his ass to get his passion back. She is a great wife and her joke of a husband do not deserve her
How did he pass any inspections? Whom ever did the inspections should be fired for allowing a disgusting place like that stay open. Chappy going back to his old ways announced to everyone that he was going to be surviving food poisoning. 🤢
Pretty common that it looks good when the inspectirs are there and once the inspection is done thats ehen they stop caring about being sanitary. Pretty obvious if you would have just thought about it for longer than 2 seconds
@@Lilmakk6Some aspects, yeah, just like Hell's Kitchen. The most staged Gordon Ramsay show and I knew this from the VERY beginning (hence why I never watched it), is MasterChef Junior.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s because of the arrogant waste she’s married to. Can confirm, being stuck with a person like that puts you on constant defense.
Ramsay comes to disfunctional restaurant with egomaniac chef, they fight and then they pay crazy money to renovate the restaurant, chef struggles to cook new menu and the restaurant goes for sale for good many, because it is brand new. That is 90% of Kitchen Nightmares.
In 2024 Chappy started training monkeys to wear ridiculous hats at the circus..5 days later all the monkeys have quit the circus..Chappy blames Chef Ramsey for this
What the hell kind of “chef” dips their fingers in something, and then licks it off…and keeps walking around in their freaking kitchen, without even thinking of washing his hands?? Let me tell you, not a properly trained one with any idea of food sanitation, that’s for sure! And the big ass hat is so he looks better trained and more professional..but he’s overcompensating for sure! Chappy’s wife says “she wears many hats “…but you better believe that none of them are as big as his “hat”. To be honest, I’ve worked at Boston Market, with no chef and we had properly stored and clean walkins. We labeled everything and everything had a date on it, when it was made,a and when to toss it.
Jesus Christ, that's why chefs have a container of tasting spoons at their stations. You use one to dip in the sauce, taste, then throw it into the dirty spoon container. Wanna' taste it again? Another clean spoon, taste, discard, and so on. NO FINGERS IN THE F*$%@^ING FOOD.
I always assumed he invites people with all sorts of dietary needs to make sure kitchens are following health codes, so if they do anything like this, he can bust em.
Jesus, lord have mercy, this place is my worst nightmare. I have a severe seafood and shellfish allergy. The last thing I would expect is my beef cooked in the same pan as fish. I always ask when it comes to chicken or anything fried if it was done on the same cook top, pan or oil as seafood or shellfish but I wouldn't even think to ask about beef because I've never ever seen it cooked on the same top let alone pan as fish.
My dad’s family was from Nashville and I grew up visiting annually. The folks in this episode with the local accent warm my heart so much. To this day I wish I’d picked the accent up.
Despite the initial state of the restaurant, I love how Starr defended her husband instead of turning on him. Shows that their relationship is healthy and thriving.
Seeing that oyster chum bucket was most disturbing 🫣 Shocking how chef brings a customer into the kitchen to see the steak pan where the fish gets cooked 🫢 The in your face shaming is real 🤣
What annoys me in most Kitchen Nightmares episodes is whenever Gordon confronts the chef(s)/owner(s), they always say he doesn't know food and doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm like did they do their research before? I mean you people BEGGED him to come and save your shitty restaurant and then when you're not happy because of how brutally honest he is, you say that.. Like make it make sense!!
I'm from a Houston super suburb..several New Orleans eateries and chefs relocated there after Katrina. None of them struggled from the locals not knowing Cajun cuisine. Chappy would've blamed them too .even tough others still succeed 18 years later.
Let's just all be honest here there are some people on this show that just were having a hard time, and some that just downright could not cook and had no idea...chappy is one of them
"It' disgusting back there." When you have worked at asmany restaurants as i have , youwill never eat out again. Especially these day's. Sorry😵 The walk-in's are always the worst.
Anybody who sells swai, the nastiest fish in the farms, for the price of redfish is a fraudster! You never ever serve the customer the wrong animal. THAT should be rule #1!

Chappy took the definition of insanity literally. Fucking hell, he's probably a scammer with all the restaurants he opened 😂
This is the exact case when one can say: "The problem is him".
Chappy is hilarious and I'm tired of pretending he is not.
Can't pay taxes and blames being on TV for it. Smells like tax fraud is cooking
I always hate it when the restaurants blame Gordon Ramsay for ‘ruining their restaurant’.
Dude. Get a mirror and a conscience.

I love how Gordon is always polite to the waiters and the moment he sees the problem it’s no more mr nice gordon
i found this video in the recommended section while watching a video about amy's baking company, its very apparent that Gordon feels very strongly about respecting waitstaff, and i really appreciate that about him
That's because Gordon knows it's not the wait-staff's fault food is either slow or substandard. It's the kitchen's.
I mean, you can't really get mad at someone whose job is carry the food from A to B

🤣
IF a celebrity chef comes to your kitchen, how can you not be honored and humble...
Chappy seemed really genuine for about 30 seconds after the scene where they sat in the car and watched and listened to people talk about the restaurant then again it was excuses.
I always think of Chappy when I take a crappy.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m on the toilet rn and I’m seeing this 😂💀😭
Your name is Chappy? What are the odds?
Nice, do you do it in a Gumbo, or the toilet?
I’ve watched so many of these and all they do is say something is wrong with Gordon and it amazes me.
It’s amazing to me. Dude has 17 Michelin stars. Not that that means everything but it def means something.

When an American in this show says "I've been around the world" I'm quite sure that means 5 or 6 US states.

@@zaboknowsbest13 still hasn't been around the world. That's the same thing as saying that you saw the earth's curvature because you saw a globe once.

So even when Chef Ramsey left, Chappy went back. What a waste....
"We received complaints the food was too spicy," IN NASHVILLE?! REALLY, CHAPPY?!

Producer: Chappy.
Gordon: What color is his gumbo?
Producer: Brown.

No it's not. More like 50% or less. They can cook the new food, but they make the choice not to cook the new menu after the show leaves.
A solid chunk of them definitely knew what they were doing lol.
gordon renovations are not that expensive. he cheaps out on bad cooks ge does not belive in. also cooks are paying to even be on the show
Gordon is better than me. I wouldn't have come back after that first conversation with Chappy and his wife after he ate.
