The Absolute Worst ‘Kitchen Nightmare’ Finds Gordon Ramsay Ever Came Across

For seven years, we glued our eyes to our TV screens as Gordon Ramsay traveled the country. He visited some of the most disgusting restaurant kitchens and subjected himself to the worst food in America.

So when Ramsay announced that Kitchen Nightmares would end, we knew it was the end of an era. But we’re looking back now. These are the worst Kitchen Nightmares finds Ramsay has ever come across in his travels.

Chef Ramsay’s Mission

If you’re not familiar with “Kitchen Nightmares,” that’s the Gordon Ramsay show where the famous chef would visit failing restaurants and fix them. But not before screaming at the owners, chefs and anyone else in charge, letting them know how dumb and bad they were. It was a delight.

The restaurants were failing largely due to any combination of bad menus, bad chefs, cheap ingredients and, too often, unsanitary kitchens with seriously dirty conditions and stale or rotting ingredients. But what were the worst examples in the history of the series?

Let’s take a look…

Moldy Croutons (Seascape Restaurant and Taproom)

There really is no better topping for a delicious lunch salad than some moldy old croutons. They do kind of look like they were made in-house, so points for at least not trying to serve Ramsay some out of the box garbage.

Meat Juice (Casa Roma)

Meat juice is kind of a natural byproduct of the defrosting process. But the meat juice found in a random mixing bowl inside of Casa Roma’s walk-in is something else entirely, probably because there’s no way of knowing just how long it’s actually been “defrosting” in there.
