'Sex shop restaurant, bad breath and dish like 'camels b****s': What Gordon Ramsey said about local restaurants as he opens his own
It's exciting times for foodies as world renowned celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay, is set to open his first Manchester restaurant.
The show in which Ramsay used his years of experience running high-end restaurants help struggling venues get back on their feet, lasted a few seasons before it moved stateside. In that time, he visited several restaurants close to Greater Manchester. "This week, I'm trying to help the most stubborn fruit cake I've ever met. Seven days to teach this old dog some new tricks. It will take a miracle."
The next day, we hear the business is £250,000 in debt and, since his heart operation, Brian sets a timer for every dish to keep on top of things. The kitchen clutter, full of second hand Ebay equipment and plates hoarded by Brian is also a red flag for the top chef. A month later, Ramsay returns on a Sunday lunch and the car park is full, with campaign for real gravy still going ahead. But Brian returned to the kitchen just seven days after Ramsay left and so did his plates.
Ramsay later expresses his disbelief at the bizarre food combinations on the menu. Items such as Tomato and Quantro soup, as well as salmon and strawberries, do not go down well with the multiple Michelin starred chef. However, nearly an hour in, and the busy kitchen has trouble keeping pace with the guests' orders. Only a bit of free champagne and Ramsay stepping in to help out brings the night to a moderately successful conclusion.
Head Chef Richard Collins, who trained at Claridges, couldn't get any of his kitchen staff to respect him and spent much of the episode trying, but failing dismally, to follow Ramsay's advice. Soon after the episode starts, the camera shows a table of unhappy customers as Ramsay tells us restaurant owner Neil is "about to crack up".
"Then it wouldn’t bother me and I could go and it wouldn’t matter if I’ve got a s**t restaurant because there’s loads of them out there and the owners are driving around in bloody Porsches. I’m driving a sh**ty Astra van and I’m f*****g close to tears." New dishes are also on the menu. A pomegranate risotto which Ramsay tells Richard "sounds f*****g disgusting." However, not all the new dishes are bad and the visibly less stressed restaurant owner Neil is feeling much more optimistic about the future. Despite Ramsay returning to the Glass House in series five of Kitchen Nightmares, the restaurant didn't stand the test of time closing in March 2014.
