Many restaurant owners on Kitchen Nightmares are stubborn, which host Gordon Ramsay tries to help them break like a culinary drill sergeant, and it often leads to tense verbal bouts. He tries the food, as well, and the dishes on this list stand out as the cream of the “crap.” Get ready for some gross food, folks.
When a restaurant claims a dish is their “signature,” they better make sure it’s perfect all the time, especially when a food critic arrives armed to put them on blast for either a great meal, or a forgettable one. However, when a chef like Gordon Ramsay asks to try your signature dish in the first-ever episode of Kitchen Nightmares, it should be better than perfect. Unfortunately, even with everything on the line, Bonapartes Restaurant in the United Kingdom swung for the fences but struck out hard.
It doesn’t matter if a dish is vegetarian, vegan, meat heavy, or plucked from the sea, the ingredients should be fresh, plain and simple. Few places can withstand a Yelp review claiming dinner came with a complementary side of E.coli. When Ramsay wanders into the back of the house to chat with Bonapartes chefs, they’re eager to serve him up their signature dish: Scallops with Black Pudding Sauce.
But it turns out that the scallops are rotten. Before Ramsay even opens his mouth after taking his first bite, he storms out the back door and coughs them up onto the ground. Serving rancid scallops to a Michelin-rated chef will haunt the employees at Bonapartes for a long time to come
