Georgetown pub subject of new ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ episode | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: In October 2024, Georgetown’s Grumpy George pub was featured on Gordon Ramsay’s “Kitchen Nightmares.” Owner Karen Soeffker, facing closure, received a life-changing opportunity when Ramsay’s team contacted her for the show. Despite having no prior restaurant experience, she learned that her establishment was considered a “nightmare.” Ramsay renovated the pub and revamped the menu, adding his mother’s famous sticky toffee pudding. The experience, intense yet rewarding, revitalized the pub, attracting more customers. The episode airs Tuesday at 7:00 PM on Fox, but the pub has already seen significant improvements thanks to Ramsay’s intervention.

A Georgetown pub will be featured on this week’s episode of chef Gordon Ramsay’s “Kitchen Nightmares.”
