Kitchen Nightmares: Handlebar Restaurant

Ramsay visits the Handlebar Restaurant and Lounge in Mount Sinai, where the owners are in denial about the restaurant's outdated decor and the head chef's lack of passion.After last week’s touchy-feely love fest, this week gets us back to the Kitchen Nightmares we know and love. This week Gordon is traveling to Mt. Sinai, New York to visit The Handlebar. The Handlebar is owned by Billy, a former construction worker, and his beleagured wife.

Despite the fact that the 18-table dining room is empty most nights, and the fact that they’re on Kitchen Nightmares, Billy and his wife are confused as to why Ramsay thinks they have a problem. They think they’re food is great, their chef is great, and everything is working well. While they have no self-awareness, their chef, Melissa, certainly does.
