      Omg please watch the French Vegan UK episode, that one was a good one! The UK ver is slept on mostly because it doesn't have the same style edits as the US, but it's great because Gordon says even better insults that makes him somehow even more British/Scottish. Also yes, please continue this series, I love recaps.

    Fun fact: inspectors try to come during heavy service times, that way you can’t hide anything, you’re too busy, and they get to see you during a high stress situation, you can’t drop standards because of high stress. Every inspection my kitchen has gotten has happened while I’m in the middle of a service, so that part might be intentional to simulate a real inspection.

      @@KarmasAB123 It's the same where I'm from too.. Not only that, but restaurants call the inspectors to arrange an inspection (because it has to be done), and they usually just pay them to come over and 'approve' (or whatever the term is, idk). I absolutely hate this 'system' in which everyone respects that things need to be done but no one respects ACTUALLY doing the thing with quality and integrity...

      Yeah at least 60% of the cases where either due to the Owners being too stubborn to listen.
      Or due to outside factors out of anyone's control (the Banks fuckupery in the early 2010's, property owners/landlord, fucking goughing the rent cause the place was now featured on Tv, the neighborehood changing, new places that opened near by and where much more competitive)
      Some cases was so much in debtn that even if they where succesfull anf fully booked Each night of the week for 2 months, they still would not meet the deadlines on their Creditors and would have to file for bankruptcy despite it.
      The Smartest move some did, was to put the place back on the map, make it succesfull enough, to rise the value, and sell it to someone more competent.

    It feels like the producers are finally allowing the US audience to see more of Gordon's compassionate side in this new season. In Ep 3, he pulls that line cook out of the kitchen who was suffering from exhaustion (21 consecutive days without break) and was showing early signs of heat stroke from working the grill. In Ep 4, he takes the 22 yo son for private lessons with an expert in his field.
    He's still firm with everyone who he needs to be firm with, but he's also tender when he acknowledges people who are passionate and trying their best, but were never given the tools to succeed (proper training, fresh ingredients, proper leadership, etc.)

It went up behind me and another girl and said "hi ladies" in a deep voice. We both spun around at the same time and the dogs, who were mostly napping after lunch and potty/play time, went ballistic. The shepherd closest to us was growling at one particular corner where the voice came from. Feeling rather fed up (things often went missing or were moved around, medications that needed to be refrigerated would be found in weird places, a few times I watched locked kennel gates unlatch and open on their own, etc) by this point I marched over with a broom, tossed it into the corner and said "if you're going to hang around here might as well get to work, make yourself useful and stop being a goddamn pest. This job is hard enough, thanks!" and stomped off. My coworker said she was about to run to her car and run but my outburst broke her terror and we were able to finish out the shift without further incident.

    As a point, restaurants actually have a fairly standard failure rate of about 90% within their first year of opening. I was a professional chef who went to Culinary School for the majority of my life, and worked at 5 Restaurants. Of those 5 all 5 are closed, and 4 of the 5 closed within a year of opening. The 5th was open for about 10 years, but unfortunately even successful restaurants operate on such slim margins of profit that it's often near to impossible to remain profitable as an independent restaurant.
    For context, when designing menus, it's typically the understood math that the food cost of your dish should be between 21-28% of the dish's price on the menu, while labour will tend to be somewhere around 26-32%. Then once you factor in the operating costs of the restaurant for things like gas and electric, usually sitting at around another 20%, you're at best operating on a 33% profit margin, and that's in the absolute best case scenario. Most of the time, you're more realistically going be operating at around a 12-20% profit margin per dish, if you are INCREDIBLY lucky when accounting for refires, food waste and such.
    Alcohol sales can of course mitigate some of that, but ultimately while you'll hear a lot of people say alcohol is where restaurants make their money, it's honestly not the case. Even for restaurants, buying alcohol is expensive, and while the markup on alcohol tends to be a lot higher, typically around 60% per bottle, not every customer is going to buy alcohol. Every customer is going to buy food.
    The final restaurant I worked at that was the one that had been open for 10 years, we operated with an expected weekly gross budget of around 12,000 dollars a week, and in order to maintain any profit for the restaurant we typically needed to make around 15,000 a week. We were in fact, typically running around 13.8-14.2 thousand a week, with the occasional good week pulling us out of being right on the edge of failure. This was a restaurant that was actually considered fairly successful with a lot of accolades in the city news, review sites, and we even pulled in a few celebrity customers like Roger Federer when he'd be visiting for the ATP tennis tournament.
    So even with Gordon's failure rate being about 80%, that's actually still a significant improvement over the typical failure rate of restaurants, especially given every restaurant on his show is starting from the point of already being in the hole.

      From a non-professional viewpoint, I feel as though there's other things that have happened beyond the general upkeep bills - namely, Covid in 2019, massive economic depressions, and just general natural disasters like hurricanes and the like. Considering these episodes were filmed in, what, 2007 at the earliest? And several restaurants in the show specifically cite Hurricane Katrina and the housing crisis as a reason why they had to relocate to begin with? A closure rating of 80% can't just be associated with the normal overhead costs of running a restaurant, it could also just be events outside of anyone's control.

      This is actually untrue the reasons the US and UK versions mostly differ is due to production value. If you watch the later UK version they are more similar to the US version with music, sound effects, and cuts the main difference being the drama. The drama as cited by Gordon is because the Americans were more loudly and openly confrontational as opposed to their British counterparts who express opposition in a more quiet snide way, like calling Gordon a pillock behind his back.

    The dinner service, is like Bar Rescue’s stress test, as they are both set up to fail, and to do so dramatically. I mean the places aren’t used to busy services, but they let in the entire crowd at one time, and often they’re short staffed as they have had so little business.

And as she pointed out, probably 100% of them would have failed without intervention of some kind, so its less that "80% failed" and more like "20% were saved".
      Statistics can be really misleading and its never good to just take them at their face but rather to think about the context and surrounding factors.

It's either like a well-oiled machine with the staff being practically family because of great trust, leadership and competence (my dad's kitchen) or absolute shitshows in others. The toxic environments I witnessed when he had jobs at other restaurants or hotels, my god! Even with my positive experiences and passion for food he encouraged me not to be in this industry and practice my love for food at home instead.

    From what I recall, he wants to watch dinner service to see how they go, and then check the food quality during it. He wants to see how they handle a typical dinner service, or even a more crowded service, to see how they can handle customers. Then he does a check. If he checked first, then he wouldn't be able to see an accurate version of the dinner service they typically go through, which is crucial for him to help fix the flaws, by seeing them first hand.
    and also, Chefs have to work under pressure without customer bias [as far as im aware], and so Gordon books extra to really put that pressure on and get them moving, because if they can't get used to it, they won't be able to handle their own when every day becomes packed in the same manner.

    the qr codes thing is actually pretty common post covid, for sanitation reasons, to save on printing costs, and to make it easier to update the menu. Of course, it has to work to do that. And most restaurants will still keep a couple old menus around if someone doesn't have a smartphone

    One reason to check during the press of an overbooked room is to see how they deal with the stress. It's easy to make sure food safety is being followed under regular conditions but when you up the pressure they are more prone to make mistakes and all it takes is one mistake for something bad to happen. I worked in a resteraunt years ago when during the lunch rush a lovely older woman who made the tortillas with love and care got her hand caught in the mixer. All it took was a bit of pressure and people being rushed and horrible stuff happened. To me it makes sense.

    Conducting an inspection during heavy work is probably the most effective method of finding problems. Its definitely not just for drama. I'm not in the service industry, but i get inspected too. There is a ton of things i have to do to keep running that would fail inspection (nothing harmful to people but still gets points) so we hide it during the inspection.
    If you force people to work heavily during an inspection, they are forced to either fail at basic tasks or reveal things they shouldn't.

    The UK version was the best! It felt far more real and you legitimately didn't know what was going to happen. The US version was pretty good but it felt more and more theatrical and dramatized as it went on. Every episode of the reboot seems to follow the same blueprint with them debt disclosure meetings with some crying, bad service, failed food storage check with slimy chicken, then shutting down so they can renovate . I still love every second lol

    I worked at a country club for a while. I don't know their situation on the show, but the kitchen was sort of subsidized by member dues. It didn't matter when we weren't busy, because they were paying anyway. This model also meant we had to put up with a higher amount of bullshit than a regular restaurant. People showing up an hour after we closed and demanding a steak, people wandering back into the kitchen to directly harass cooks, or help themselves to food. Getting grabby with servers. The sort of thing that would get you 86'd at a normal bar or restaurant, we just had to smile and put up with it. Like 75% of the members were retired lawyers and other entitled assholes, many of which were senile. One old guy drove his car into the side of the building, pretended it didn't happen, no one said a word, then he did it again like a month later. It was not a job I remember fondly. Oh yeah, the point is that a country club (unless they are losing members) will almost always be fully staffed, even if business is slow, because the members already paid just to be members.

    80% is the average rate of resturants closing so it pretty much just follows the same path as if he didn't intervene. Though I'd reckon 100% of them where in the 80% so he most likely saved a couple.

    The #1 problem that caused restaurants to close after Gordon visited them was going back to the exact same stuff they were doing before Gordon, but then blaming him because he didn't give them stunning PR for having dead rats floating in their soup. The #2 problem was that there was just too much debt from before Gordon visited.

    Honestly Gordon checking the kitchen in the middle of a dinner rush kinda makes sense to me! You'd want to see how they perform under intense stress, so the things that they do at their highest stress levels kinda reflects what they'd be willing to allow / do normally, ya know? Like if it wouldn't be acceptable to store cooked chicken next to uncooked chicken any other time, why would a kitchen think its okay to do during a dinner rush. It's still the same chance for cross-contamination

    Did anyone watch his '24 Hours to Hell and Back' show? It was insane, he somehow hid a massive truck which had a kitchen on the back with people seemingly constantly cooking while he went undercover to the restaurant (often quite successfully with a lot of aging make up!), then dramatically peeled the make up/costume off before telling all the staff and diners to follow him to the truck where unhygienic undercover camera footage was shown on a big screen above the kitchen and a 24 hour timer was set, which is the time they had to clean and refurb the restaurant, come up with a new menu and teach it to the chefs and for Gordon to resolve the owners' financial/marital problems. It was ridiculous and I loved it so much, my favourite one was the one where they sent in a Gordon lookalike but then it looked even more alarming when the real Gordon started pulling off his extensive latex face makeup and just looked like he was pulling off his own skin
