Top 10 Kitchen Nightmares Restaurants We're Glad Closed

Let's face it, the moment Sammy said, "Chef Ramsay is coming here to tell the people our food is good," you knew they weren't looking for change. The food was appalling enough, but what made this restaurant truly laughable was the erratic behavior of Amy and Sammy. They refused to take criticism, to the point where every negative comment was seen as an "attack." Honestly, I could go on forever, but there are many more restaurants to cover.

"Chef Ramsay is coming here to tell the people our food is good"? The prediction has been proven false.

You could say everything this restaurant could've had was all down somewhere else. The owner, Abby, was incredibly inept and in denial about the problems with her restaurant. She made really petty excuses for everything Chef Ramsay pointed out. You'd think people would be happy with whatever changes Chef Ramsay implemented, but nope. Complaints continued, ultimately leading to the restaurant's demise.

You're kidding me. Nearly every step Chef Ramsay attempted to make was met with another setback. The food was gross, and the kitchen was even worse. The staff could not communicate with each other, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was absolutely horrid. It's no wonder they closed before the episode could even air.

Probably one of the most disgusting restaurants ever seen. It was riddled with rotten food, and the staff just didn't seem to care. It's no wonder this restaurant needed a new chef. Despite all that, it still wasn't enough. The owner attempted to sue the show to prevent the episode from airing (which obviously failed), and the restaurant closed shortly after. Ta ta!

Jesus, they could have killed someone.

This is the episode that started it all. Co-manager Peter was a complete psycho, and his terrible behavior, along with the horrible food and equally disgusting kitchen, led to the restaurant's major failure. To think Gordon Ramsay's changes and advice would've even lasted a day would've been a miracle. Of course, the changes weren't helping at all, and the restaurant closed a while after the episode aired.

How could you possibly forget Mill Street Bistro? Joe Nagi had to be one of the most irritating owners ever seen on the show, and it was astounding to see Chef Ramsay even be able to help him. Despite the help, people still complained about Joe's behavior, and unsurprisingly, the restaurant closed.

The tropical theme was not a good choice for the location. Unfortunately, the owner, Adele, didn't see that. Gordon Ramsay had no choice but to get rid of everything and change the restaurant to something new. Flamangos was renamed The Junction, and the new restaurant had a completely different vibe. Sadly, Adele just didn't like her new restaurant, and shortly after Chef Ramsay left, it closed. It goes to show that some people can't change.

As mentioned before, family businesses can sometimes lead to complete chaos. Take the family-run Burger Kitchen, whose burgers were so unappetizing that Gordon Ramsay couldn't even fit one into his mouth. The way the family tried to work with each other crossed the line between irritating and hilarious. It's no wonder the restaurant went under new ownership and soon closed down completely.

Things we got to know about Gen:

- She's a medium-rare girl.
- She's 64 years old.
- She tastes a strong flavor when the head chef made the Redemption Burger.
- She's not that powerful.
- She's a Karen.

Also, the head chef David did the right thing leaving the restaurant. Wherever he is, I hope he's living a more successful life than the owners of this restaurant, who showed no shame in taking their son's money.

This restaurant was gross. The food was ridiculous (Sushi pizza? What?), the kitchen was a mess, and the staff was out of control. Sometimes family businesses work, sometimes they don't. In this case, it was a huge flop. It's no surprise that the restaurant closed before the episode even aired.

Chappy ruined the business. The food was appalling, the kitchen was terrible, but the worst part was Chappy himself. He was a terrible man. Even right after Gordon Ramsay left, Chappy was unable to stick to his word. The restaurant's failure is all thanks to the pajama-wearing Santa Claus look-alike.
