Gordon Ramsay Visited 3 NJ Restaurants: Here's When To See Them

TOMS RIVER, NJ — When Gordon Ramsay showed up at the Jersey Shore in October to film an episode of his show "24 Hours to Hell and Back," it set off excitement through the area.

Since then, people have been waiting to see the results of the filming the celebrity chef did for his show "24 Hours to Hell And Back" that took place at the Caneda's White Rooster in Toms River, and Blend on Main in Manasquan. A third restaurant, in South Jersey, also got a makeover visit from Ramsay: Botto's Italian Line in Swedesboro, according to an Asbury Park Press report.

The wait is over. Episodes featuring the three restaurants will be airing soon, as the third season of the show kicked off Tuesday night on Fox with Ramsay at a seafood restaurant in Virginia.

The episode featuring Blend on Main in Manasquan is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. on Jan. 14.

"Our big show on Fox January 14," The restaurant posted on its Facebook page, and advertised shirts it is selling for charity.

Caneda's White Rooster in Toms River is scheduled to be featured on Jan. 21. Patty Caneda, the restaurant's owner, is inviting people to come for dinner before the show.

"Don't forget we offer a buy one get one free dinner every Tuesday in 2020," she wrote.

The air date for Botto's Italian Line has not yet been announced by Fox and the restaurant has not mentioned it on its Facebook page or website.

Fox also streams the episodes on its website a day after the show airs.

Ramsay has a well-earned reputation as a tough-talking taskmaster in the kitchen who saves the sugar-coating for desserts. But the chef let people see a decidedly different side of him during his time at the Jersey Shore when he halted filming to spend time with Beachwood 12-year-old Kallista Flores, who is battling cancer.

After a social media wave started by Wolf Flores, Ramsay got wind that his biggest fan was hoping to meet him, and he showed up at Toms River Intermediate South to surprise her. Read more: See It: Gordon Ramsay Surprises Ocean County Girl Fighting Cancer

Ramsay also donated $10,000 to a GoFundme set up to help offset the cost of Kallista's cancer treatments. Read more: Chef Gordon Ramsay Donates $10K To Beachwood Girl's GoFundMe

The goal "24 Hours to Hell And Back" is to stress the importance of good customer service because people don't hesitate to post negative experiences on social media. The goal is to help "everyday people make their businesses the best they can be, rather than critiquing highly trained professionals," a Delish report said.
