Line 130:
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Many, many times.
** Many of the owners in the American version are clueless, but Moe from Oceana is truly something special. One example among many: After Moe reveals that he refuses to write down his recipes because he's afraid of other restaurants stealing them, Gordon calls him a "busy idiot" -- somebody who spends all his time worrying about the wrong things. Moe is so upset by this that he basically refuses to do anything. To get things back on track, his brother [[Blatant Lies|claims]] that in England, "busy idiot" is actually a [[Separated by a Common Language|compliment]]. Moe [[Crowning Moment of Funny|believes him]].
** A couple of said antagonistic owners undid all of Gordon's changes the moment he left. [http://la.eater.com/archives/2008/03/21/anthony_albano_brings_back_1_pizza_to_toluca_lake.php They both closed] [https://web.archive.org/web/20090207012814/http://eater.com/archives/2008/09/the_shutter_even_gordon_ramsay_cant_save_the_black_pearl.php several months later.]
** On the UK version, both Piccolo Teatro and Bonaparte's closed within a short time after Ramsay's visit. The owner of the latter threatened to sue Ramsay, claiming she had been "set up".
** When Ramsay revisited the Walnut Tree Inn, he found the business still failing due to the sky-high prices the owner was charging, and stormed out after the owner bluntly told him that he'd rather see the inn go out of business than look like a cheap restaurant. Guess what happened? Then, for an encore, some more sensible businessmen bought the inn shortly afterwards, set up a menu that was more along Ramsay's guidelines, and made it into a success once more.
