In the Season 2 premiere of Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell & Back, the celebrity chef goes undercover as a deputy sheriff when he visits The Trolley Stop Café in New Orleans. Ramsay explains, “When people know I’m coming they tend to be on their best bloody behavior.” While wearing his sheriff uniform, eyeglasses and a blonde mustache, Ramsay tries a bite of the food served to him at the cafe and says, “This is some of the most disgusting food I’ve ever seen.” Ramsay leaves the dining to take off his disguise and then returns and addresses everyone in the restaurant and tells them “I don’t want anyone else eating a thing.”
The 23-year-old family-owned Trolley Stop Café is located on Saint Charles Avenue in the Lower Garden District of NOLA. It’s a landmark that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner classics all day long – pancakes, burgers, po’ boys and fried catfish — and desserts including homemade bread pudding with rum sauce. Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell & Back airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on FOX.
