The Gordon Ramsey - hostedKitchen Nightmareswas a pa civilisation phenomenon in the later 2000s and other 2010s , but the worst episode ofKitchen Nightmaresstand out just as much as the best ones .

However , as popular asKitchen Nightmaresis , no show is without fault , and the serial publication has its average share of skippable episodes .

10Revisited #6 (Season 5, Episode 5)

There ’s something about the exceptional " revisit " episodes that do n’t work as well as the regular episodes . In Season 5 , sequence 5 , " revisit # 6 , " Ramsey revisits season 4 ’s Classic American , Davide , and DownCity . All the possessor and employee are in good booze , and it ’s nice to see some businesses actually deliver the goods following appearing onKitchen Nightmares , as so many news program stories report on the feature restaurant reverting to their old ways . However , whileKitchen Nightmaresis sleep together for horrific arguments , the installment simply miss the tension and play of the usual episodes , and that ’s the very cause the show is so pop .

9Kati Allo (Season 7, Episode 4)

No one needs to be a line expert to know that buying into an industry they lie with nothing about is a terrible idea , but that ’s on the dot what Manny did when he bought Kati Allo , a Greek eating house in New York that serves overcooked meat . The intense focal point on Manny ’s kinship with his wife and daughter bring away from what could ’ve been a good sequence overall . The episode matte as if Ramsey was more of a marriage counselor than a professional TV chef . The bickering between the husband and wife did n’t work from a funniness point of view , and it was instead run through watch out a marriage spill apart .

8Fleming (Season 3, Episode 11)

In Season 3 , Episode 11 , " Fleming , " Chef Ramsay visited the eating place Alexander Fleming in Miami , Florida . The restaurant had been around for thirty yr , always being evanesce around between the family that owns it . What was once a deary in the region , always packed to the brim , had become infrequently visited by anyone . The restaurant owner ' commitment to turning their businesses around usually order the quality of the episodes , and that ’s why " Fleming " is one of Kitchen Nightmare ’s lesser episodes . Even though Gordon work his magic , the owner presently returned to their old ways . Ian Lancaster Fleming is overall an unenthusiastic episode , and the eatery inevitably closed in 2010 ( viaReality goggle box Updates ) .

Season 6 , episode 8 , " Levanti ’s Italian Restaurant , " narrate the story of Dino and Tina , who head for the hills Levanti ’s , and though Dino owns the Italian restaurant , it ’s Tina who ’s burdened with running the sinking ship . It ’s hard to say whether it was the two - month - older tiramisu they served Ramsay or the exhaustive disputation that the siblings had that ruined the episode . Either elbow room , Gordon ’s attempt to turn the give way restaurant into an American bistro go down flat . What take a leak the episode most disappointing is that Levanti ’s actually had the voltage to be majuscule , but Dino did n’t have the business mindset or the work ethic to make it work .

6Mama Maria’s (Season 6, Episode 3)

Season 6 , Episode 3 , " Mama Maria ’s " is one of the worst episodes ofKitchen Nightmaressimply due to how hard it is to watch . What is supposed to be a typical Italian eatery in New York is horribly deal and serves moldy solid food . The rotten lobster tail isthe gross thing Ramsey ever base . " Mama Maria ’s " is a distinctive episode , as John the manager is fabulously stubborn and resistant to change in the origin , but Ramsay necessarily turns it around . However , while part of the appeal ofKitchen Nightmaresis the embarrassing behaviour and hard - to - watch arguments between the owners and Ramsey , John the manager’sbehavior was way too offputting .

5Zayna Flaming Grill: Part 2 (Season 7, Episode 8)

Zayna Flaming Grill was such a flaming batch that the show dedicate two episode to the eating house . However , it ’s time of year 7 , installment 8 , " Zayna Flaming Grill : Part 2 , " where the two - parter really fall flat and has infamously become one of the worst episodes ofKitchen Nightmares . Kitchen Nightmares’best episodesstrike a perfect admixture of fallouts and dear moments where the owner and employee see the errors of their ways , but the time of year 8 episode was nothing but fallout . Zayna Flaming Grill was possess by five kinsfolk members , but two family members end up leaving , and without the devising up , watching a family being torn apart just is n’t entertaining .

4Revisited #8 (Season 6, Episode 6)

Season 6 , episode 6 , " Revisited # 8 , " saw Gordon Ramsay revisit some of the most problematical restaurants — Cafe Hon , Chiarella ’s Restaurant , and Leones . Leones was the topic of one of the most emotional arc in the series , as the owner ’s Word had to take over pass the business after the father underwent a aesculapian emergency . Cafe Hon is also an iconic Kitchen Nightmares location for the trademark monster flamingo statue . As a result , it was really exciting to return to these location , and it was a sculptural relief to see that they were still doing well . alas , the sequence shine into the same problems that all " revisited " episodes do .

3Revisited #7 (Season 5, Episode 11)

time of year 5 , sequence 11 , " Revisited # 7 , " was cursed simply due to how the meshwork decide to order the time of year 5 episodes . While " revisited " sequence were never that flirt with in the first place , " revisit # 7 " followed " revisit # 6 " in quick succession , and fatigue duty quickly take up to set in . In the season 5 episode , the British chef revisited three other restaurants that had appeared in time of year four - Spanish Pavillion , Kingston Café , and La Frite . unluckily , just like all the " revisit " episodes , " Revisited # 7 " was lacking in tension , drama , and high stakes , and succeed six other episodes in the same format , it just was n’t that refreshing anymore .

2Bella Luna (Season 7, Episode 9)

Bella Luna was the last eating place ever taken over by Gordon Ramsay onKitchen Nightmares , as it was the series ' penultimate episode ( with a " revisit " special being the closing curtain ) . The episode was finally frustrative due to Rosario , the mother of the restaurateurs badly campaign the business . Rosario think her children were perfect and could do no wrong , and as a solution , " Bella Luna " is one of the risky episodes ofKitchen Nightmares . However , at the very least , the final proper episode of the serial totally lived up to its name , and Rosario could very well have been the generator of Ramsey ’s nightmare

1Revisited #9 (Season 7, Episode 10)

unluckily , Kitchen Nightmaresdidn’t go out with a bang but a whimper , as the show ’s very last episode , season 7 , instalment 10 , " Revisited No . 9 , " is the very worst sequence of the serial . While a " revisited " episode could absolutely give the show gag law , the finale could have revisitedKitchen Nightmares’most famous restaurantsthat featured in the serial publication ' seven - year run . rather , the episode revisited La Galleria 33 in Boston , the Olde Hitching Post , and Prohibition Gastropub , which were all sport in just the time of year before . The sequence was totally vanilla and lack any bite whatsoever , which is n’t the way an almost 100 - episode series of Gordan Ramsey yelling should have ended .
