The West Nyack Mexican restaurant was bad on many levels. Food was made in mass quantities and kept for a long time. Among the awful items included fatty beef, week-old rice, slimy chicken, five-month-old herbs, and curled fish.

The father later left the business to his two sons.

Answer: Connecticut

Sabatiello's was in Stamford, one of the largest cities in New England. The owner argued with customers and with Gordon.

The service was shut down after too many arguments. Sabatiello's later closed one month after the show aired and the owner was later charged with vandalism and credit card fraud.
