One of the most popular episodes of Kitchen Nightmares is from season 8 and focuses on the Bask 46 restaurant. But what happened to the restaurant after the show?
Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares returned for an eighth season, focusing on the world-class chef as he tryies to turn around failing restaurants across the USA, and it was tumultuous as ever.
In the first episode of Season 8, Ramsay worked with Bel Aire Diner to solve their dysfunctional family dynamic and clustered menu. Despite the drama in the episode, the 50-year-old restaurant in Queens, New York still remains open.
During the second episode of Kitchen Nightmares Season 8, Ramsay visited Bask 46 in Woodland, New Jersey, which opened in February 2023. But did the bar and grill manage to survive after their Kitchen Nightmares segment?
Is Bask 46 from Kitchen Nightmares still open?
As of March 2024, Bask 46 is still open, but Chef Bobby did not return to the restaurant.
Chef Bobby apologized to the owner for the raw chicken sitting out but quickly went back to his old habits. The two-month update revealed that the chef never returned to the kitchen.

Initially, Ramsay criticized the place’s portion sizes and how people are “taking away more food than they’re eating.” He also was shocked after finding out Bask 46’s “homemade cheese sauce” actually included Cheez-Wiz.
Since then, Bask 46 has added ribeye steak, beef sliders, and blackened shrimp tacos to their menu.
Bask 46 has only 221 Google reviews, scoring 4.6 out of 5 stars. Recent customers have praised the bar for its “juicy” burgers and delicious fries.
“The atmosphere and hand-crafted deco are really cool and interesting, notice more in-depth stuff every time I go. Highly recommend,” one person wrote.
