A customer and his friends waited for over an hour for a pizza that Amy didn't feel took priority. When they tried to leave, Samy stopped them and insisted they pay for their drinks.

Answer: Five

On a first revisit, Ramsay went back to Sante La Brea and Giuseppi's. The owner of Sante La Brea had handed the business to his sons. Giuseppi's was successful for a short time, but the bad economy in Michigan forced the family to shut its doors. A second revisit episode saw the progress of the Handlebar, Casa Roma, and the Black Pearl.

15. What was not true about Purnima?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" USA

Answer: It had four managers

The restaurant was originally named Dillons and it mad just about everything on the menu. Overall, the restaurant was pretty disgusting. Flies were everywhere, food was rotting, and roaches and rats dominated the storeroom. After seeing a half tomato that was rotten, Ramsay shut down service with three tables yet to be served. The name was changed to Purnima and the menu had palatable Indian fare. This was one of the more talked about episodes because one of the managers claimed Ramsay's crew staged scenes; the case was dismissed.

16. What restaurant was owned by a former actor?

From Quiz "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares"

Answer: Ruby Tate's

Ruby Tate's was the Brighton restaurant owned by Alan Love, whose career nosedived after appearing in the 1980 box office bomb "The Apple."

17. When Gordon Ramsay finally arrives, what was he impressed with?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares": Amy's Baking Company

Answer: How everything's clean, organized and attractive

18. In what state was Mill Street Bistro?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" Season 6

Answer: Ohio

In the northern Ohio town of Norwalk, Ramsay tries to rescue a bistro that talked about "farm to table", but much of the food was frozen.

The restaurant was renamed Maple City Tavern in December 2013.

19. In which New York borough was PJ's Steakhouse?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" (U.S.) Season 4

Answer: Queens

He also witnessed owners and a chef who didn't care, a menu with limited items and a kitchen with moldy food. Even after Ramsay sought the unpleasant reactions of former PJ's customers, the chef didn't care and was fired after butchering specials and walking out during service. A few months later, the owner closed the place and went back to construction.

20. What restaurant had the infamous shrimp inside a chicken?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" (USA) Season 2

Answer: Trobiano's

Trobiano's in Great Neck, New York was half a million dollars in debt. The arrogant head chef's girlfriend and her family put everything at stake to try to keep the restaurant alive. Initially, the restaurant had an early bird special menu that mainly catered to the elderly. Besides the shrimp inside a chicken, Ramsey didn't like the processed mozzarella in the appetizer or the dry salmon. During service, the head chef was known for not tasting his food before serving.

21. Where was Clubway 41?

From Quiz "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares"

Answer: Blackpool

Clubway 41 was given a top honor, but few seemed to know its location. Ramsay thought the experience of salmon and strawberry salads was stupid. The restaurant was renamed Jacksons during taping.

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" Season 6

Answer: Pennsylvania

The restaurant was closed shortly after the February 2013 airing when the father retired and the children no longer wanted to run the place.

23. What restaurant was closed prior to airing?

24. What type of restaurant was Grasshopper Also?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" (U.S.) Season 4

Answer: Irish

The Carlstadt, New Jersey restaurant, was a family-run business that tried to be Irish. Ramsay had French onion soup that tasted like dishwater, a shepherd's pie that wasn't anything close to what would be served in Ireland, and a fisherman's platter with bad scallops. For the first time in history, Ramsay shut down a restaurant before service began. During Ramsay's visit, food took a long time to come out, despite help from an outside chef.

25. What kind of food did Fleming, in Miami, Florida, serve?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" (US) Season 3

Answer: Danish

Fleming was a place basically stuck in time. The owners were not Danish and the chef was Cuban. Gordon got served bland food and tough duck. During dinner service, just about every dish was sent back and Gordon saw cooked duck in the same pan as raw duck, causing him to shut down service. During another service, Gordon saw carrots in a Caesar salad.

26. What Indiana college was in the same town as J Willy's?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" (USA) Season 2

Answer: University of Notre Dame

J Willy's was a bar and grill in South Bend that served mostly frozen food, including ribs with a mass-produced sauce and a pulled pork boat that not even a priest's blessing could salvage. Ramsay observed a service where a lot of food was sent back by unhappy customers. A new barbecue sauce was introduced to the menu hoping to revive the restaurant. The restaurant did not survive past February 2009. The owners cited the economic situation that plagued the restaurant industry.

27. How many months after the taping was the Seascape sold?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" USA

Answer: Five

The Seascape in Islip, New York, was a historical restaurant falling under hard times. There was plenty wrong with the Seascape including: The owner's lazy son, two bad chefs, dirty kitchen area, rancid food in the storage area, fish in a dog food bag, and a dining room that smelled of sewage. As for dining: "Fresh" lobster ravioli that turned out to be dried, moldy pesto sauce with overcooked salmon, fishy-smelling chowder, pot roast that had been "cooked and recooked and recooked." It was enough to have Ramsay cancel a service altogether. Despite the cleaning and a new menu, the chefs quit. The epilogue had said that 'the owner accepted an offer he could not refuse' five months after taping and the Seascape was sold.

28. Morgans was the family-run restaurant run badly. During its renovation, wives of members of a well-known Premiership team visited. What team was it?

From Quiz "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares"

Answer: Liverpool

Members of a popular British soap opera and the wives of Liverpool players (including Louise Owen) stopped by. During Ramsay's initial visit, the only thing he liked was a sticky toffee pudding. Otherwise, the setting was marred by lazy staff, bickering sisters, and food that didn't seem to make sense, such as apricots with mashed potatoes.

29. In what New York City borough was the site of Mama Maria's?

From Quiz "Kitchen Nightmares" Season 6

Answer: Brooklyn

Mama Maria's was a restaurant attached to a pizzeria. The shabby restaurant tried to live on their 1990s success. During service, Ramsay noticed a vegetarian dish with pork bones in the sauce and a customer getting sick from a bad lobster. Mama Maria's had a large quantity of frozen food in stock.

30. The final restaurant of the season was what type?
