Keep reading our update to learn what happened next and if the restaurant is still open in 2023 and beyond.įlamangos / The Junction Update - What Happened Next? So was the Flamangos Kitchen Nightmares episode a success? Surprise, surprise, but for relaunch night, Adele was not happy the changes, obnoxiously and loudly so (still waiting on the call from the Nobel prize people, call me).Įveryone else was happy, however, the staff satisfied with the changes.Įventually, Adele came around to like the changes after she saw how happy the customers were. He also changed the menu to include more elegant, Americanized offerings, and rechristened the restaurant “The Junction.” Gone were the gaudy decorations (Not the Toucan, not Willie the Wooden Alligator Oh the Humanity!).Īs part of this, he had a cathartic moment where he actually burned them in a huge bonfire while Adele looked on: Gordon makes significant changes to the entire restaurant. Paging Chef Gordon Ramsey, critical patient in OR. ![]() Though, us Gordon-maniacs love it when he lets the salty metaphors fly! Our Shakespeare of the salty language showed great restraint here. That included the customers, the staff, and Gordon himself! She spent most, if not all, of her time yelling at anyone that was unfortunate enough to come within two feet of her. My control for my restaurant failure constant. There was food that was stored improperly and prepared incorrectly and haphazardly (food inspectors take note).īeyond that, there were more outrageous decorations like a wooden alligator and toucans and a menu that was so random and eclectic that it confused many of the wait staff. The Ahi Tuna Appetizer was very spicy, almost too spicy to eat he spat out the Tiki Platter.įlamangos was decorated in a surreal tropical parrot motif and basically, it was designed for Jimmy Buffett as the set for the “Margaritaville” music video.Ĭhef Ramsey found a host of problems with this place… Gordon Ramsay gets down to work upon arriving and starts ordering food and scoping out the restaurant. In total, there are three Flamangos owners – Adele and Bill Csepi, along with their daughter Cheryl Csepi. (No she wasn’t the “Rollin’ in the Deep” Adele, though I bet her staff wishes she were). Our man Gordon finds the staff at this New Jersey eatery terrorized by owner, Adele. There, the restaurant failure constant I will wait for the Nobel people to call me.Ĭase in point is Flamangos in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. Tyrannical owner equals problems times stress squared. It could almost be a mathematical constant. Why is it that restaurant failures seem to go hand in hand with overbearing or power mad owners? ![]() It was Season 3 Episode 2 of Kitchen Nightmares. Though the The Junction Kitchen Nightmares episode aired in February 2010, the actual visit from Gordon Ramsay happened before that in the middle of 2009. Flamangos, later renamed to The Junction, was a Whitehouse Station, New Jersey restaurant featured on season 3 of Kitchen Nightmares.
