More than 80 percent of restaurants on Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares have apparently permanently closed.

The iconic show saw Gordon, 57, bulldozing into different eateries in the UK, US, France and Spain and telling the staff (or yelling at them) about what they’re doing wrong in order to get the restaurant in shape.

The show has always been a favourite, with fans loving watching Gordon transforming the restaurants into popular and profitable establishments.

But it turns out that many of the restaurants that appeared on the show are now closed.

According to LADbible, 80 percent of the eateries that appeared on the show have now closed their doors.

Of the 105 restaurants visited by the celeb chef across the UK, US, France and Spain, only around 19 of them are still operating.

Of course, it’s important to remember that the show is built on the fact that the restaurants are struggling.

On top of that, much of the show was filmed a long time ago – and way before the covid pandemic, which was particularly damaging to restaurants.

Earlier this year, we told you how one New Orleans restaurant tried to sue Gordon after a video of him vomiting in their restaurant resurfaced on Facebook.

The restaurant was not impressed, after a video resurfaced on Facebook in 2018 depicting Gordon vomiting in their restaurant, after smelling a container filled with shrimp.

According to Oceana Grill, the clip was over-dramatised for the show, and it didn’t state that it happened seven years ago.

The video was taken from a season finale which aired in 2011, but was made available to watch on Facebook for 24 hours before it was taken down.

Gordon also filmed discovering three dead mice in the restaurant as part of the episode.

Cajun Conti, the company that owns Oceana Grill, have stated: “None of the above-described events were real, but were contrived and orchestrated by defendants to manufacture drama for their show.”

The lawsuit reads: “During the episode’s filming, defendants went to great lengths to over-dramatise and even fabricate problems with the restaurant in order to increase ratings.

“The footage intentionally portrayed Oceana and its employees in a patently false and negative light, as it depicted the appealing restaurant as an unsuccessful, unsanitary and mismanaged restaurant.”

However, despite the clip, the restaurant is one of the eateries that’s actually still thriving all these years on.
