Fans of Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares might remember the episode where the famous chef visited Love Bites in New York. But what happened to the restaurant after the show?
Season 8 of Kitchen Nightmares has been full of several highs and lows. Gordon Ramsay has been taking time out of his busy schedule to visit different restaurants in the United States to make some serious changes and upgrades.
Sometimes, the restaurants on Kitchen Nightmares are willing to listen to his advice. Other times, they prefer to ignore the Michelin star expert.
Love Bites Cafe is the restaurant Gordon spent time at in Saugerties, New York. Is it still open and functioning today?
Love Bites Cafe is now officially closed
After filming Season 8, Episode 6 of Kitchen Nightmares, Love Bites Cafe has closed its doors. According to Reality TV Updates, they shut down in July 2023 just a month after Gordon was there.
The restaurant owners, Tess Robinson and Christopher Keff, posted the announcement on Facebook to keep everyone in the loop.
