Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and his rebooted “Kitchen Nightmares” show, has been filming in New Orleans over the past two weeks.
Each episode the show follows Ramsay as he “revamps a restaurant in crisis, exposing the stressful realities of running a successful food business. Now more than ever, restaurant owners are faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, from health code violations and staffing issues to menu errors and kitchen conditions found only in nightmares. Ramsay is their restaurant 9-1-1 call and the last chance for their businesses to survive.”
The City of New Orleans approved filming permits for the show to film at Verdict Lounge last week, which is located in New Orleans East. City officials approved filming at the restaurant from Saturday to Thursday.
Permits were also approved for filming to take place at 3 additional local area restaurants this week: Iberville Cuisine, Kindred and Blake’s Place.
There was also a casting call released for requesting for extras at an unnamed restaurant in Westwego on those same days.
