I’m Gordon Ramsey and I’m hitting the road once again heading to struggling restaurants all across America mouse droppings that look like cuscus with so many failing restaurants on the brink of collapse smell that disgusting that [ __ ] blood in there the most disgusting kitchen ever I know that I
Need to work quickly so I’ve given myself just 24 hours oh my God to tr try and save each of them now it’s [ __ ] rany but when people know I’m coming they tend to hide what’s really going on so I’ll be covert hiding cameras in the restaurants and myself in plain
Sight to catch them all red-handed oh my God I want to show you something that isn’t very pleasant there are mice if I have any hope of saving them that’s a head of celery limper than the [ __ ] owner I’ll have to go to Helen Back in
24 hours I know what you do you fire him this week I’m in Allentown Pennsylvania a town surrounded by Rolling Green HS just 50 mi from Philadelphia Allentown was larg and responsible for the growth of the steel industry during the Industrial Revolution I’m in the West End theater
District an area that seen quite a Renaissance in recent years but unlike the vibrant District the curtains are about to close for The Shanty on 19 an iconic restaurant since 1968 the theater goers enjoyed a great meal in a stunning setting Where The Shanty on 19th was the headliner today The Shanty
Is a poor understudy of what it used to be once I’m here to Breathe new life into this restaurant and I’m going to do it in just 24 Hours I’m Joe I own a Shany on 19th along with my wife Melanie the original Shanty was here for just about 40 years was one of the top restaurants in the area I wanted to buy the restaurant because I’ve been making a lot of people
A lot of money working for them in the restaurant business so I figured it was about time for me to try to make myself some money just wish some people coming the beginning of H Shanny was great the buzz was out but without a doubt we were
Living in the shadow of the old Shanny the old Shanny was a fine dining restaurant that had incredible food we tried to recreate the food and we fell flat on our faces I said they rud oh my God Joe does not know fine dining he
Knows how to run a sports bar he doesn’t have to bake them just [ __ ] fry them [ __ ] so [ __ ] annoying dude my chef Kennedy she’s a bulldog she screams and hollers like a lunatic back there [ __ ] real life struggle here working on this [ __ ] line I’ve got a lot of
Experience but Joe doesn’t let me do what a head chef should do someone standing in the [ __ ] window lying that [ __ ] for me we relax what are you talking about with the lack of business it’s hard to get a staff that stays so I
Have my dad here to help me oh no no no no no what what what uh-uh Joe Senor he’s [ __ ] negative as [ __ ] I don’t like Kennedy’s presentation you can’t tell her anything she doesn’t want to listen they’ll sit at the bar talking [ __ ] about you to the [ __ ] customers
Talking [ __ ] about the food that good no Joe’s father gets people riled which is bad cuz if you’re telling the other customers our food sucks and your son owns a place that’s not good are we down a lot of money why’ you go home can’t
Tell you the last time we made a profit it’s not looking good let’s burn the place to the ground then how’s that no talking to him no talking to him no talking to him Mel started her own business because we needed the money who do you think pays the bills the [ __ ]
Bill fairy of course I pay all the bills our relationship has deteriorated me and my husband are definitely at the breaking point to cope with the Shanny my husband drinks more than he ever has yeah I’m in trouble we’re in a little bit of debt close to half a
Million dollars if things don’t improve we’re going to have to close I’m very scared that I’m going to lose my home and my mom lives there and we take care of her and um I used to be a really happy person and I find it really hard
To laugh anymore cuz my life’s such a mess with only 24 hours to put the shanty on 19th back into the spotlight I needed to find out what they were doing wrong so my team told the restaurant that they were trying out for a traditional renovation show whilst they
Were been interviewed we installed hidden cameras throughout the restaurant and have been secretly recording surveillance footage ever since we left it’s obvious that shantia 19th is about to give his life last performance and without my help trust me it’s likely their run will end now as you know when
People know I’m coming they do their best to stay out of trouble so I’m going under Cover let’s get the puck out of here my new friends and I are posing as fans of the local hockey team the Lehigh Valley Phantoms it’s a great area around here isn’t it this is yeah this is a nice area right here it’s been redone vitalized

Wow so that’s one big problem gone yes or no yes I’m not the problem here believe me Kennedy’s more of a problem than anybody or anything she’s nothing but a glorified prep cook Kennedy the food it’s terrible why are you saying yes to cooking that [ __ ] I’ve never been a head
Chef anywhere where I wasn’t allowed to be the head chef Joe doesn’t trust people and he won’t let go of control you’ve got to take responsibility somewhere down the line Ken you are the chef I could hear you going crazy there you’re in an open kitchen when you scream it just shutters
A dining room we don’t pay for that I don’t know if any of the staff are aware but we’re financially ruined literally we hold our breath every month just to pay the bills so why don’t you stamp your foot down Joe he’ll just shut me out and he won’t speak to
Me and it could be sometimes a week or two at a time we say just zip it zip it it’s not your restaurant there’s the door that’s what he’ll say to me and it is my restaurant and he hangs up with me probably like 10 times a week
You up on us you do you know what do you go home and lock yourself in the room no I don’t lock myself yes you I don’t you lock yourself in the room close the door and that’s the way you treat your wife it’s hard to take advice from
Somebody who’s not here all the time and she does know what I’m I have to pay the bills cuz we’re in this mess why would you listen to me if I can run other businesses and be really successful can you imagine what I could do here if you
Just listen to me and work with me she’s out working to bring money back in the [ __ ] till while you sit on your ass and drink it how can we work with this uh he he’s got to change you by yourself trying to do everything it’s not
Working I got less than 24 hours to turn this around I’m not doing it on my own I I need your help put your hands up if you are Committed okay so I’m bringing my team in yeah guys get to it straight away thank you Brian Theresa everything out the whole lot cleared out less than 23 hours we have to start from scratch everybody hands on is that clear what can we do to help everybody bartender I
Need to clear all this [ __ ] everything off the back of this bar has to be completely cleared off with less than 23 hours until the shanty is fully transformed I love it we’re getting rid of that shitty green color meeting with my renovation team at this stage is
Crucial boo first off yeah right Boo I’ve got to go yeah I don’t mind the paneling but how do we lighten that paneling up what what do we do we’re going to add some white marble tabletops up here and change all the tables back there to a white A light bright beastro
Where people want to come gotta that’s exactly I contemp you beastro but it needs that love it needs the warmth in there yes sir with my design team demolishing the chaotic layout in the dining room pull every screw until this thing falls apart I dread to Peak under
The hood in the kitchen I want to move behind the line here come over with me and see the engine that’s driving this restaurant is this on no this is all ice so we have to ice throughout the shift we have to continue to like fill it and
Redo it but it’s not refrigerated no oh my God we’ve lost product multiple times because because we come in and it’s 80° in there it’s terrible and then over here we have our friers one of which blow out fire out the back of it blow out what like fire it literally goes and
It shoots out fire in the middle service service and Joe knows this Joe knows this how long’s it been like that 3 or 4 months now yeah behind the scenes it’s a grim come on have you seen the [ __ ] underneath there the spoons containers and crap come on guys the [ __ ]
Kitchen now what the [ __ ] is that you turned into a [ __ ] Hazard what’s in here take a look oh boy that [ __ ] blood in there that’s miscut chicken wings I think it was 89 cents a pound as if that’s going to make this business successful I mean get get me Joe where
Is Joe Joe yes what the [ __ ] is going on in here look at the blood in there come on it’s not proper Wing it’s the cheapest of cheap Joe gives me cheap products and expects to work a [ __ ] miracle with it we can’t get any lower can we no we can’t get any
Cheaper is our dry storage area Melanie yes have a look in there and just tell me what you see there Mouse Poop mouse droppings drops that look like [ __ ] cuscus the kitchen is dysfunctional and that fry you can be shut down at any minute we have the
Sparks going off with the electrics over hot oil it’s a [ __ ] ticking Time Bomb yeah Joe come on we’re adults we’re in the business get the place clean properly that kitchen is a disaster Zone come on the one thing that Shanty doesn’t need fixing is its location in the bustling
Hard of the Theater District H can get for a walk with the largest theater just one block away this neighborhood is extraordinary yeah it is yeah the Theater District when was the last time you went to the theater oh gosh when I was young when you were young yeah wow really oh
Boy what a gorgeous theater uh tough start to the day how’ you deal with that I’m ashamed of how my husband runs that place but I it’s very hard hard for me to stand up to him because he just completely shuts me out and ignores you I’ve been in the restaurant business all
My life uh from day one you can’t indulge from behind the bar with Joe it’s it seems to have become a big problem with him it how bad has it gone um bad his drinking never was to this extent ever you know I saw what my mom went through with an alcoholic father
And the minute she got the strength and the support to get out there she she she she ran a mile have you ever thought about leading Him have you ever thought about leaving him yeah yes I have I’m just like so tired I’m like something’s got to give I just cannot keep doing this I’m having a tough time supporting Joe what am I missing well he he has a good heart he’s
A hard worker and he he is a good man you have to step up and hold the Reigns and he has to allow you to be a partner and I’ll help fix him but he needs to respect you first and listen cuz Joe’s way is not a
Good way anymore I agree thanks M yeah man a couple so far apart running one business Joe’s un borrowed time and he needs to listen listen to her quickly before it’s too late you’re taking great pleasure in that aren’t you Joe you have no idea
Tommy how do we bring in the pride of Valen they used to manufacture cigars in this town and so we’re doing this basically 8ot by 8ot sculpture that’ll be hanging all made of cigar boxes it’s a feature yes sir oh it stands for what the town was exactly you shantia 19 is a
Restaurant is a restaurant Dive Bar yes sir thank you thank you J it’s clear my renovation team is going to be pushing hard to finish in less than 19 hours but now I’ve got to push Kennedy let’s go let’s go let’s go to make sure
At least the kitchen will be ready to go how you feeling better now that you’re here okay tough day yeah whatever happens going forward you need to take responsibility gotcha have a look at that menu Kennedy this is what we’re going to relaunch with that’s right
There’s no back I like it okay let’s take it from the Top chicken wings yeah a beautiful chili glaze chicken wing not a offcut chicken wing that you wouldn’t give to the Bulldog a proper Wing right next to that paned scallops finished with a mustard sauce and a ceric purely
Those are beautiful then an amazing beer batter fish and chips sustainable fish beautiful fries and a great showstopper and then The Shanty Burger we’re going to layer that up and the Goon Burger’s gone that’s been 86 thank God and then finally bacon wrapped pork tenderloin as’s a little bourbon glaze we will
Finish the pork with and that will sing beautifully right okay can do all of this fresh I promise you now we’re going to do it fresh okay you’re very passionate about what you do yeah and I didn’t know about that heart condition okay so you know you’re not
The calist of course yeah I know I’m not that place is tipping you over the edge yes that negativity in front of the customer you have to taper that in okay I do have a temper yeah but I have to harness that yeah and you are the first
Chef I’ve ever met that swears more than me right how’s that possible I don’t know I don’t know I I don’t know that passion don’t change that put that passion on a plate I got you right I want to cook that’s what I came here for
With you okay let’s do the scops first searing them getting a great color on there is crucial right okay when they’re soaking wet you will never get any flavor on there okay so first things first they need to be super dry yeah so you dry them in between the towels I
Will start off with a touch of oil okay we’re lightly seasoning so we go up in so the caramelization is crucial but the Char’s gone gotcha from there a little touch of butter and Spoon that over those scallops delicious into the oven 2 minutes max okay now the garnish
Being that close to him like to Gordon Ramsey he’s amazing he’s like the holy gra is chefs Touch clarifi button there it awesome to talk with a chef that actually knows what the [ __ ] he’s doing doing sit the scallops on okay and mustard cream sauce just going to give
That little bit of heat on top done those are beautiful so you need to commit to change and stop worrying about those customers that are winging about the food that was supporting their alcohol right consumption that’s Joe and his friends the staff basically knows they don’t have to do [ __ ] because by 7:30
He’s going to be drunk as a skunk it’s it’s a problem yeah so here’s the deal you need to be responsible more than ever before gotch you you are in charge of the kitchen and you need to give me time to put Joe in his place
Okay good I promise Chef okay good girl it’s actually quite a sad situation Joe’s made her dysfunctional so Mary Ben and Jamie they’re here to train the staff one andone when an owner is treating that place like a party hole and is abusing his staff very few Talent
Hang around so we’re lucky right now she’s still here we’re doing good man doing good Kennedy Tommy and Joe have a lot of training to do if they’re going to master the new menu before The Shanty reopens you no longer have 13 Burgers on your menu one it’s all you need
Absolutely I agree with you 100% we need a faft we need a new start and uh this is exciting I wish I could spend more time helping my renovation team like you said we want to pay homage to the town yeah I love that but right now Joe let’s
Uh let’s spend to minutes together please I need to talk to Joe alone oh boy just just hear me out the [ __ ] party is over running around painful [ __ ] plaudit buying half your customers drinking stupidly come on what’s happened to you the [ __ ] party is over running around painful [ __ ] flauding it
Buying half your customers drinking stupidly come on what’s happened to you somewhere along the line I just lost control the place today was a punch in the head but the drinking is getting worse why Joe because it makes reality go away the insecurities why failure failure I grew up with an alcoholic
Father and is a very very lonely place got to change if you can see that then everybody’s going to follow suit they’re not deserting you Joe they just had enough right truthfully you can’t run that business any longer you need a general manager and there’s only one person
Qualified to become that general manager Joe it’s your wife right because she’s got that experience in business you need to listen to her buddy I know you need to listen to her you have an amazing woman in Melanie I wouldn’t have anything without her I’m surprised that
She is still with me you’re not a bad guy let’s get that right I’m just struggling to make you understand what’s at stake here get in there thanks jff a thank you what what what right what happened that was the greatest thing that ever freaking 101 with with Chef Ramsey
Listen to him he’s a great guy he is let me tell you something he’s awesome he’s awesome you know I love it you know I need You the only way this is going to work is it’s together you know I’m going to listen I’m going to change things are going to go back the way they were with us we’re going to make it and uh no more boo in here maybe no more Bois in
Period sometimes I forget now how much she means to me it’s one of the biggest reality checks I’ve ever had in my life sometimes I might need a little kick in the ass with the clock rapidly winding down there’s no rest in sight for The Shanty
Team take this out outside yeah I really honestly believe he’s going to change and start listening to me you can just put everything here I got you and if he doesn’t he’s probably out of a wife and a home and a restaurant people don’t respect somebody who’s here drinking and you
Know and as the sun rises over Allentown there’s still a ton of work to be done it’s a waste of marble there isn’t it right I have given them all the tools to bring the shanty’s reputation back all right look how much more space there is
Now with that thing on but it’s up to them to implement them our giant cigar box installation that’s beautiful yeah turned out is there any chance that goes lower we can bring it down a little bit and then we we’ll just raise up the Ivy and these for Acoustics yeah exactly a
Little bit of that and to help break things up lowering that D will make it more intimate and give it more of a Resturant feel yes sir there’s still a massive amount of work to be done before tonight’s relaunch can it be good hey Chef Ramsey what are you feeling you
Know well nervous doing a a relaunch I that I’ve yes I’m good I’ve never had a service yet where I’m not nervous right I know how important this is for you so we’re going to step up it’s not how you start it’s what how you finished there
