Gordon arrives in the middle of the night and looks in the freezer.

He finds a barbecued brisket that has been frozen for days.

Gordon checks their menu and sees it has too many items.

He switches on a blacklight and sees that most of the handles are dirty and contaminated.

The next day, Gordon is at his command center van watching the staff interview for a fake reality TV show.

Steve and Kelly are the owners and the business started out as a catering business for tailgate events.

Steve had the bright idea for a physical space.

Kelly was resistant but went along with it.

Riley is Kelly’s son and Steve’s stepson and he works in the kitchen.

Kelly runs the whole dining room by herself and she needs help.

Gordon has two undercover chefs go in as spies.

They stand waiting for a long time and no one seats them.

After 15 minutes, they are taken to a table and given their 70 item menu.

They order and are confused by egg rolls on the menu.

Their food is made quickly but is left to go cold waiting to go out.

Customers are also left waiting, along with a pregnant woman.

The food is served to the chef spies.

They find the food to be bland, dry and burnt in some places.

Gordon goes into the restaurant and stops the service completely.

He calls the staff together and tells them the bacteria reading was off the charts.

Gordon tells them all the problems he saw, from the large menu to the frozen briskets.

He calls out that they left a 38-week pregnant woman standing for 25 minutes.

They are short-staffed and made a joke of it and they reheat brisket which is bad.

Generally, he thinks that they should not have started a restaurant as it is vastly different from catering.

He sits with Kelly, and she is sad because she spends all day in the restaurant.

She is missing all of her son’s sports games at his school.

The family sits and talks together about the insider giving Gordon information.

Kelly and Steve have a conversation and it gets heated.

Kelly opens up and Steve finally sees that his wife is unhappy.

Gordon watches this interaction, then meets with the family to see their dynamic.

Steve is made to burn the old menu as a sign he is willing to accept Gordon’s help to turn things around.

The next day, Gordon takes Steve out on a motorcycle ride to clear his head.

Gordon advises him to open up about the business and what he has been going through.

Kelly is brought in and Gordon leaves them alone.

Steve apologizes for what he has put Kelly through.

Then he tells her the state of the finances and she appreciates being included.

Gordon’s team has been hard at work and the family is brought into the new restaurant.

Everything has been changed, from the tables and chairs to the decor of the walls.

The kitchen has been redesigned and they have been given new cookware.

The space is warm, inviting, and looks fresh.

Kelly is moved to tears by the changes Gordons team has made.

Steve says he may have to start working in front of the house now because of how good it looks.

Their menu has also been redesigned.

Brisket goes into most of the dishes so there is no waste.

They will be using scales for proper portion control.

The staff are trained on making the new menu items and plating it.

Gordon introduces the spies who are going to be their support.

They will be a phone call away for 6-12 months whenever they need help and advice.

Gordon pulls the family aside to reveal his insider.

It is Joe the cook.

Kelly is given front of house support with three servers.

The restaurant opens for the relaunch.

Everything starts great and it is running efficiently.

Eagles player John Mailiata is the final surprise for them as the family are big fans of the team.

Steve is shy and has not gone out to greet his customers.

Gordon relieves him of his tasks in the kitchen.

Steve goes straight to John and admits he has been a season ticket holder since 1990.

John promises he will bring his team members as the food and service were great.

The brisket finishes, so it is taken off the menu for the night.

This is what Steve had been afraid of in the past but it is a good sign business is going well.

Gordon leaves them all happy with how the relaunch had gone.

Steve said working with Gordon was a great experience.

They have added 12 items back to the menu.

Marvel Ranch - Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service Update - Open or Closed?

In this Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service episode, Gordon visits Marvel Ranch in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Marvel Ranch is owned by Cheryl.

Gordon arrives at the back of the cafe and enters through the basement.

The basement is full of junk and smells really bad.

There are mice droppings everywhere and several dead mice.

Gordon sets up a rodent cam to see how bad the issue is.

On the top level, he uses a black light and sees that all the tops, stoves and equipment are lit up.

There is a rodent catcher in a bread warmer.

The three microwaves are all dirty, and a quick test reveals bacterial contamination.

They leave but carry the smell of the place with them into their cars.

In daylight, he can see that the dining room is drab and dank, with boring furnishings.

Owner Cheryl has been at the restaurant for 40 years, taking it over from her father at just 18.

She now owns the building and owes a lot on the mortgage.

Customers are no longer coming in and she is struggling.

The staff call her Mama and she is a motherly figure for them.

The cook Kenny has been there for over eight years.

He feels that the diner is the most unserious place to work.

Rachel is Cheryl’s daughter-in-law, and she reveals Cheryl feeds the staff for free.

She also feeds homeless people and anyone who needs help.

Gordon sees that the male staff in the kitchen are young and engage in a lot of horseplay.

It’s obvious there is no leadership or guidance for the staff.

Customers enter and none of the staff greet them for a long time before a server gets to them.

In preparing a meal, they see food going into a microwave.

The customers do not like the food, with one finding a hair in their food.

When Cheryl is told, she doesn’t find out what happened or hold anyone accountable.

Food is sent back as it is cold in the middle and the customers hear staff making derogatory comments about them.

Rock and Sammi are sent in as his spies and they can smell old oil as they sit down at their table.

They order and their meals are promptly microwaved.

The food brought out tastes canned and once sent back they put it back in the can.

The burgers are off and the omelette was precooked and reheated.

They can’t eat anything for fear of food poisoning.

There is soon an argument in the kitchen and customers can hear it all.

When there are chants of “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, Gordon has seen enough and goes into the restaurant to stop service.

He asks the customers to leave so he can speak with the staff.

Gordon calls them out on their unprofessionalism at work.

The customers can see all of their antics.

He says that they should be referring to Cheryl as boss, not Mama.

Kenny says he is trying his best but Gordon calls out the cleanliness issues and the mice infestation.

He is defensive in the face of all this and Gordon clears out all the staff and cameras.

Kenny explains he doesn’t understand why it is all on him as he does not have any authority.

Gordon reveals Cheryl is on the verge of bankruptcy.

They need to find a way to turn around out of all the loyalty they have for her.

Kenny feels embarrassed about the situation and he wants to step up.

The next day, Gordon has planned some team building for the staff.

They can mess around outside of work and not inside the diner.

Kenny and one of the junior cooks wear balloon gloves in a bouncy castle ring and they wrestle around having fun.

Gordon talks to Cheryl while the team is all distracted.

He tells her she needs to shed the "Mama" image as they were taking advantage of her.

They agree that Kenny should be made the head chef.

Gordon’s team has been hard at work on the refresh of the diner.

The staff are all let in and it is now more warm.

It looks much more upscale with color and ambiance.

In the kitchen, a lot of the equipment has been replaced, deep cleaned.

They have been given new tools and all of the microwaves are gone.

Gordon joins them and trains the kitchen staff on how to make an omelette in just 90 seconds, without using a microwave.

He tasks them with making an omelette each.

They all make them in less than two minutes and they all love the taste.

Cheryl finally hands over the kitchen reins to Kenny officially and he tears up with happiness.

The insider is revealed to be Cheryl herself.

She had recognized that the staff messing around is the biggest problem.

They set up for the relaunch and the customers are let in.

The kitchen is so different as they are all professional and are communicating calmly.

They make perfect omelettes and Kenny is doing amazing, with Cheryl complementing him.

Cheryl is the boss and is strict on cleaning.

Customers love the food and the new decor.

When Gordon enters again, he barely has any recommendations and just says his farewells to Cheryl.

What Happened Next at Marvel Ranch?

Marvel Ranch is open.

Reviews are mostly positive.

The food seems to have better reviews than the service.

MacGregor's - Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service Update - Open or Closed?

In this Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service episode, Gordon visits MacGregor's in Havre De Grace, Maryland.

MacGregor's Restaurant is owned by Stephanie Golumbek.

Gordon arrives at night and he cannot get into the gate.

Instead, he sneaks in through the basement.

He has been told that the place is haunted and goes to look in the walk-in freezer.

Inside, he finds lots of food items with mold growing all over on them.

There are lots of pre-prepared and cut frozen items that indicate laziness.

There is frozen seafood, even though they are located by the water.

He then uses a black light and the stove lights up.

There is also grease buildup on the fan and there is a lot of junk piled up in a corner.

In the dining room, there is a wall of pictures of the previous owner, who is retired and living in Florida.

A fan mysteriously comes on by itself and Gordon takes it as a sign to make his exit.

By morning, Gordon arrives in a dog grooming van and the restaurant is fully set up for a fake reality show.

Stephanie bought it two years ago but had started working there in 2001.

She has a close affinity for Dan, the previous owner, because he took her under his wing.

The manager Cristan was sweet-talked into taking on the role when Dan was still in charge.

Stephanie’s Mom Sharon helps with bookkeeping and offers to help financially but Stephanie refuses.

Server Brando has been there for six years and the head chef Mike is also dating Stephanie.

Mike started as a server and randomly decided to be the next chef, without any training or experience in the kitchen.

He tells Stephanie he will be making some cooking decisions but Stephanie does not go against him.

Gordon has evidence of the hauntings, as things have been seen falling off tables.

Sammy and Rock are sent in along with the customers as the spies.

Gordon sees bread, shrimp, and chicken all cooking on the same grill.

Gordon asks the spies to say they are allergic to shellfish to see what the staff will do.

They use canned crab meat to cook the dishes.

The ordered chicken is cooked right on top of the shrimp and is served.

The spies hate the food as the crab cake is bland and cold in the middle.

The chicken tastes like shrimp, which would have been bad if the shellfish allergy was real.

Gordon goes in and asks all the customers to leave, while calling all the staff together.

Gordon calls out Chef Mike on his cooking practice as there was cross-contamination.

He shows them the moldy food and also calls them out on telling customers they have fresh seafood when it is all frozen and canned.

Gordon also calls out Stephanie for still dedicating the restaurant to a retired millionaire when she is the owner.

Gordon takes her to the dungeon, the storage space of the old things Dan had at the restaurant.

She tries to justify it by saying she might need the items later.

She breaks down in tears when Gordon confronts her about that decision.

Gordon confronts her on the decision to hire her unqualified boyfriend as head chef.

He has many bad practices that are bringing down the restaurant.

The next day, Gordon takes Stephanie away from the restaurant.

He asks her to show him her commitment to change by destroying all the junk from Dan she had been holding on to.

In a rage room setup, she is given protective gear and a baseball bat to smash the items.

She enthusiastically gets into it, hitting the items with the bat .

Stephanie is put into a steamroller to completely crush the items.

She is enthusiastic to finally let go of the past.

She promises to make a decision about Mike if he cannot step up in the kitchen.

Later, the staff are all let into the newly redecorated MacGregors.

It is now warm and more upscale with a distinct bar and dining area.

There is a VIP area that was the former junk area.

The kitchen has been deep cleaned and updated with new tools and equipment.

Gordon comes in and serves dishes from their new menu.

They are all made with fresh ingredients and seafood.

Gordon goes to the kitchen with Mike and motivates him to do his best for the love he has for Stephanie.

Gordon teaches him how to make a fresh crab dish.

He serves Stephanie and the staff the dish and they love the taste.

The insider is revealed to be Cristan, which is shocking to them.

She did it for her love for Stephanie and for the business.

They quickly set up and customers are let in for the relaunch.

On relaunch, Stephanie is acting more like a boss and Mike is in charge of the kitchen.

He is cooking properly with no cross contamination.

Some local customers are shocked that the food has improved so much.

Gordon is happy with what he sees and he commends Mike and then Stephanie.

As a parting gift, Dan sent a video message to Stephanie, telling her she was the best thing for the restaurant in his time.

He says that he has faith in her as she makes the restaurant hers.

What Happened Next at MacGregor's?

Mrs White's Golden Rule Cafe - Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service Update - Open or Closed?

In this episode of Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service, Gordon visits Mrs White’s Golden Rule Cafe in Phoenix, Arizona.

Mrs White’s Golden Rule Cafe is owned by 101 year old Elizabeth White and her son Larry White.

The restaurant is 60 years old and is now in serious trouble.

At night, Gordon gets into the restaurant with a screwdriver left by the ice machine outside, as there is no key available.

He enters the restaurant with ease and uses a black light.

The place lights up everywhere due to the filth.

In the freezer, he sees frozen swai, which is sometimes used as a substitute for catfish.

This is a poor substitute and can be deceiving to customers if not declared.

There are several things left on the side thawing out and the stovetop is dirty with grease.

The fire extinguishers are expired, which is a safety issue.

There is a poster of praise for Mrs White but it is very old and dated.

Gordon washes his hands and leaves.

The next morning, Mrs. White arrives with a walker and goes into the kitchen.

She is 101 years old and is still present at the restaurant.

She is still the owner and tastes everything that is made in the kitchen.

Her son is Larry, he is 75 and he also comes in with a walker.

Larry is a co-owner and has been working there since he was 13.

The assistant manager Regina believes Larry is the problem as he does not allow changes or repairs to be made.

Her granddaughter Kianna is the Manager but she lacks the authority to make many decisions.

Gordon witnesses Larry being very close-minded and disruptive to his staff.

Gordon is told that there are frozen catfish fillets defrosting in Larry’s car.

Mrs White leaves but Larry is still planted on his chair.

He is sat cleaning his nails as customers come in.

Her great grandson Jay also works in the restaurant, making it a family affair.

Rock Harper from Hell’s Kitchen is the secret diner and Gordon sets him up with a camera and microphone.

He enters and is given a menu, from which he orders.

Larry falls asleep at his spot and Rock is left waiting a long time for his meal.

The food arrives and it is mostly tasteless.

The chicken tastes like mop water and he has to spit it out.

Gordon sees that the stove cannot be operated properly.

They use a pair of pliers to turn it off and on.

Gordon has seen enough and he goes in and asks the customers to leave,

He calls the staff together to talk about the rrestaurant.

They are all shocked and Gordon lays into Larry.

He tells them about all that he has found out in the restaurant.

Larry is defensive and Kianna is in tears as she is frustrated.

Everyone says Larry is a control freak but he denies it.

When Gordon leaves, Larry is remorseful that he forgot the catfish.

After a while, Gordon goes to sit with Larry and orders all the staff and cameras out.

Larry reveals that he and Mrs White are broke.

They are losing $2000 a week and he is too ashamed to tell his mother and daughter.

Larry admits Kianna is capable of carrying on their legacy.

Gordon tells him that at 75, he should let go and pass it on before it is too late to save the restaurant.

All the staff are given the task of using social media to bring in more customers.

They currently have a poor social media page with barely any posts.

Jay is put in charge of their social media as they will be having a food truck pop-up event.

While they are occupied with that, Gordon’s team will be upgrading the restaurant to the 21st century.

On the morning of the pop-up event, Gordon goes to visit with Mrs. White, who is excited to see him.

She tells him the history of the restaurant and that she believes Kianna should take over.

Gordon also tells her about the pop-up and shows her the new truck.

He makes sliders with her recipes while she observes.

Social media posts have been put up and Gordon has reposted to his many followers.

More people show up to the event, leading to long queues.

Kianna uses the opportunity to show off her leadership skills, and Larry sees how capable she is.

Gordon’s team is done with the work and Mrs. White and the family are let in first to see the changes.

The front room is redecorated to look more vibrant, with matching chairs and a more cohesive decoration.

In the kitchen, they have new, corrently working equipment and new tools ready to use.

They also have a new fire extinguisher.

There are photos all over the restaurant featuring all of the whole family.

Outside the restaurant is a mural of Mrs White, it is also an Instagram wall for photos.

Gordon reveals to the family that his insider was Kianna.

The family is appreciative of her intervention and bringing Gordon to the restaurant.

On relaunch, the customers are let in and it is a rush as they take pictures as they come in.

Kianna is in charge in the kitchen.

The food is made to a great standard, and the customers love it all.

Gordon goes to meet with Kianna to give her some tips.

She is self-trained and learned at the restaurant.

Patrick knows nothing about cooking and will Google recipes.

He trained Jenny to be the sous chef and believes he should be the executive chef.

Patrick gets Jenny to introduce herself as the executive chef to the customers.

It seems to only be the meatballs that are not bought in.

After listening in on their conversation, Gordon decides to speak to Jenny.

Jenny reveals she has a 3-year-old daughter

She wants to step back so she can spend more time with her daughter.

Jenny is not happy about Patrick.

Afterwards, Patrick swoops in on her to find out what she said to Gordon.

She is open and tells him what she said.

Patrick is not happy and he sulks.

He says that he is ready for the change.

As the staff all sit to eat together, he is disparaging, which irks Jenny.

The next day, Gordon takes the couple for a hike.

Gordon gives Jenny a bag full of rocks to symbolize the weight Patrick puts on her.

She also speaks her mind about everything.

Somehow Gordon finally gets through to Patrick, who tears up.

While this was happening, Gordon’s team is hard at work renovating the restaurant.

Gordon watches the couple as they enter the new space that is now more vibrant with new furnishing.

The kitchen is much more spacious with new tools and equipment, which they both love.

Gordon enters, and he goes into the kitchen to watch Christian cook and he is great at cooking on his own with very little direction from Gordon.

The meal is served to the couple and they love it.

Gordon reveals it was all Christian.

The couple are surprised; he is called and Jenny apologizes to him, and he is made the executive chef.

Patrick solely agrees, and the rest of the team are let in.

The couple and the staff are okay with it and recognize she just wanted the best for the restaurant and the owners.

Customers are let in, and they love the food Christian is cooking while Jenny and Patrick are in front of the house.

Parthenon - Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service Update - Open or Closed?

In this Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service episode, Gordon visits Parthenon in Washington.

Parthenon is a Greek restaurant owned by Pete.

Gordon goes undercover at night as they clean up, hearing he is coming.

He lets himself in with a spare key.

Gordon is armed with a black light and he sees dirt everywhere.

The restaurant has been open for 36 years but they have lost their way.

Gordon finds that an oven is still on, with food still inside.

The carpets are old and a meat cutter that has been left out is dirty.

It tests off the charts with a portable bacteria test.

The dining room has mismatched chairs and the decor is dated.

They leave to come back in the morning.

In the morning, the staff are on camera.

They think they are on a show called "Restaurant Refresh."

In daylight, Gordon has control of the cameras and he sees the staff working.

Pete came from Greece and opened the restaurant decades ago.

Susie is Pete's wife and she is often at the restaurant.

Their son Mikey is the kitchen manager.

Mikey complains that he has tried to update the menu for a long time.

He says that his father is resistant to making changes.

Mikey's wife Stella is a server and she also helps in the kitchen.

Their daughter Stephanie also helps out in the kitchen, making it a family business.

Customers arrive at the restaurant.

Gordon reviews footage from a camera he left behind.

In the footage, he sees there are five rats.

The results of a swab Gordon took came back from a lab.

It has tested positive for a high concentration of harmful bacteria.

Gordon sees customers complaining about the food

Mikey has lost his voice and Pete is very complacent.

Gordon has two undercover spies.

He sends them in with body cams and microphones to try food from the menu.

Gordon asks them questions directly and they respond.

The dining space is dated and the menu is far too big.

The lamb is left to thaw in the open.

The appetizer tastes sour and fermented.

The spy tells the server the food is sour.

Pete tells them that's the way it's supposed to taste.

The lamb is served but Gordon stops them from eating it.

He enters the restaurant space, surprising everyone.

Gordon stops the service in the kitchen and lets the customers out.

He confronts Pete, who claims the food is all fresh.

Gordon reveals all he found the night before.

Pete is resistant and Mikey says he is also restricted on what he can do.

Gordon reveals there is an insider and asks to speak to Pete alone.

Pete says he plans to let the place go to his boy but there is no timeframe.

Mikey is in his 40s with his own children.

Gordon listens to them all trying to dicuss the restaurant.

They focus on the wrong things and instead they talk about the insider.

Gordon goes back in to direct the conversation and they tell Pete how they really feel.

The family is desperate for change and Mikey is teary.

Susie says she feels like a restaurant widow.

Gordon's team modernizes the restaurant space.

They also give the kitchen a deep clean.

Gordon meets with Pete and Mikey away from the restaurant.

He points out they have a fractured relationship.

Mikey says he does not hear any feedback from his father.

Pete is never expressive with his son.

Gordon has them express themselves and they connect and hug it out.

Gordon spies on the upgrades and from the surveillance vehicle.

He watches their reaction as they enter the new restaurant space.

The space is brighter with lively colors everywhere.

There are now more uniform chairs and furnishings.

Pete is speechless.

The kitchen is clean, with new equipment and tools ready.

The restaurant also has pictures of Pete's hometown in Greece and he tears up.

Gordon enters and shows them they also have a new menu.

Gordon and Mikey make the dishes from the new menu.

The food is served to the staff and they all love it.

Pete is teary and apologizes to his family for all the suffering he has caused.

Gordon finally reveals his insider - it is Susie!

There is footage of Susie meeting Gordon.

She tells him how her family is at risk and she is scared Pete will divorce her.

The family at present is grateful to Susie for the intervention.

Pete realizes he needs to change and finally go on vacation.

Customers are let in and Mikey is in charge of the kitchen.

Pete is front of house, greeting the guests.

Most importantly, he is out of Mikey's way.

Everything goes smoothly, with everyone sticking to their roles.

Gordon gives Mikey positive feedback and some tips.

The customers love the food and the new decor.
