** Vinny from Bella Gianna's is very critical of every small mistake and pins everything on the staff [[NeverMyFault even when it seems clear that he’s in the wrong]]. He's so focused on the money his father's been putting into the business, and how much he thinks he's disappointed his dad, that he's oblivious to how much his behaviour hurts everyone else.

A CreatorDrivenSuccessor to ''Series/KitchenNightmares'', ''Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours To Hell And Back'' stars celebrity chef Creator/GordonRamsay as he visits struggling restaurants and attempts to turn them around in only twenty-four hours. It aired on Creator/FOX from 2018 to 2020.

The show is considerably more condensed than ''Kitchen Nightmares'' was, due to time Gordon and his team spent at the restaurant going from an entire week to a single day's work. Unlike Nightmares, Gordon's first visit to the restaurant is undercover, sporting a disguise and accompanied either by some locals or a cadre of actors. The menu revamp usually happens off-site on a tractor trailer kitchen, as the restaurant's renovation happens simultaneous to the new dishes being prepped.

Episodes usually end with follow-ups submitted by the owners and employees themselves some three months after filming, rather than revisits from Gordon or follow-ups from the camera crews.

!!Tropes pertaining to the show in general:
* AllForNothing: A few restaurants revert away all the work Gordon Ramsay has done almost immediately, La Serenata and Boardwalk 11 are particular offenders, the former ending up stopping paying their son for his cooking, and the latter demoting the best employees and re-hiring the worst ones fired during the episode's runtime.
* BigBadassRig: Gordon's "Hell On Wheels" truck, whose trailer converts into a state of the art kitchen with a big TV screen on top.
