Gordon Ramsay To “Rescue” New Orleans’ Trolley Stop Cafe in Tonight’s Show Premiere | Eater New Orleans

"An iconic New Orleans greasy spoon on St. Charles Avenue, the Trolley Stop Cafe is the focus of Wednesday’s premiere of Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back (airing at 7 p.m. on Fox), where Ramsay attempts to rescue the troubled restaurant in 24 hours. Filming took place earlier this fall; mid-October posts on the Trolley Stop’s Facebook page said it would be closed for renovations, was overhauling its menu, and retraining staff. In a reply to a customer’s complaint about the smaller menu the Trolley Stop posted that it had been “months away from having to close our doors forever,” that its old menu of 96 items produced an “obscene” amount of waste, and that it had to “take drastic measures in order to stay open.”" - Clair Lorell
