History Heartwarming / KitchenNightmares

** Also Daniel's fiancée Wendy, who won't take any of the shit his parents are giving him at ''all'', defending him to her best ability, and sticking with him despite the awful situation he's in.
** Adding to the MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment when Daniel's father realizes he's turned into his own father and apologizes to his son. Who knows what happened from then, but here's hoping they can fix their relationship.

* "Capri": The whole episode features Ramsay alternating between ToughLove reaming out the twins who own the place for how their laziness has let it go downhill, to patiently comforting and encouraging them, such as taking Jeff aside to help him calm down during the first dinner serving after the man has a minor breakdown upon realizing what a disaster it is. He's hard on them in the beginning, but is quick to tell them they're not failures whenever they say it in a bout of frustration or insecurity. Ultimately his main point in the episode is teaching the two of them to be proud of their work and not be afraid to put their hearts into it, even getting them into a boxing ring to duke it out with him and each other to deal with their issues. Perhaps more heartwarming is that the change stuck, and the two are still in business having fun with the customers while making good food.

* "Yanni's": Treya, who is very upset and suffering emotionally from the turmoil amongst the family, is treated like a hazard. Everyone tells her to stop it or shouts at her. Ramsay however is visibly upset she's treated as such. He talks to her for a short while only for him to admit he is sorry that he only came to help the restaurant. It's clear he understands her feelings and wants to help her.

* "Bazzini's"- Gordon dislikes all the food he's served... except for Carol's desserts. He loves them so much he even asks Carol for the recipe.

** Also, the fact that many viewers averted DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale and called out the owner's daughter on her truly despicable emotional abuse.

* "Bazzini's"- Gordon dislikes all the food hels served....except Carol's desserts. He loves them so much he asks Carol for the recipe. Carol spends the rest of the ep trying to flirt with him!

* "La Galleria 33": Gordon criticizes the terrible food in the restaurant and the owners even have to send for their mom, who has a restaurant nearby, to bring him some tiramisu because they'd run out of dessert. When he tries it, he asks to speak to the mom again. Everyone is scared and keeps telling her it's her turn to be yelled at. She braces herself and approaches Gordon, who promptly stands up and says: "I have to do something." He proceeds to kiss her on the cheek and exclaim: "Bellissimo!"

-->'''Momma Cherri''': I fed Gordon Ramsay...'''and he cleaned his plate!!!'''

** Momma Cherri now also has a Youtube Channel of her own, featuring her own recipes that people can make from home while making enough money to make it her career. Recalling that she said she wanted to share her food with the world, it seems like after all the years her dream has finally come true.

* A small one in the now infamous "Amy's Baking Company" episode: Ramsay finds out during the dinner service that employees aren't allowed to keep their tips, [[PetTheDog hands a nice fat tip to his]] [[TheWoobie much-abused server]], telling her to keep it for herself.

* "Olde Hitching Post": After Ramsay finally gets through to the hard-headed owner, and his daughter Andrea, who proves she is capable of running the restaurant on her own, the owner realizes he can pass the restaurant (which he bought for Andrea in the first place) to his daughter. Unlike Daniel from Burger Kitchen, who never wanted to be a restaurateur, it was Andrea's lifelong dream to own her own restaurant. The best part is that as of December 2017, the restaurant is alive and well.

** Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for the business. Sadly it [[spoiler: [[TearJerker shut down due to poor business dealings.]]]] However, she later opened a new restaurant in 2015 and learned to take a hands off approach, allowing her partner to run the restaurant while still using her recipes and trademarks.

* Trobiano's: After a successful relaunch, Gordon urges the owner to finally propose to his girlfriend, something they'd been putting off because of the stress at the restaurant. [[spoiler: Not only does she say yes, but they get married ''that night'' -- all arranged by Gordon.]]

** The reveal on how Gordon revised the restaurant: [[spoiler: He made it a full fledged tribute to John's parents, showing that even though the restaurant has to change in order to fit in with the times, it ''still'' will be in their honor]]. John's reaction is just as beautiful and sweet as well.

* During the tasting scene in the "Zeke's" episode, the meals are terrible and Gordon has scathing things to say about everything. Everything, that is, except the bread pudding dessert, which he absolutely loves. This is the episode's first real demonstration that there's nothing wrong with the kitchen staff and that the real problem is the terrible, frozen, cheap ingredients the owners insist on using to save money, and the owner's insistence on putting his own terrible recipes on the menu. The bread pudding was the only thing Gordon ordered that the chef had full control over, and the joy on the chef's face at getting Gordon's approval for his cooking show how much it means to him to get that kind of validation from a man like Gordon Ramsay.

The best part, as of December 2017, the restaurant is alive and well.

** In contrast to how terrible they seem to treat everyone else around them, Amy and her husband jump to each others' defense several times throughout the episode.
