Gordon revisits the restaurant to find that Dean has retired and gone overseas.
He has passed the restaurant to his sons.
Aurelio and Mark are both no longer working at the restaurant.
He discovers takings are up 10% and Sammy's girlfriend Dawn is the new manager.
Gordon thinks the food he tries is delicious and then discovers that it is the Unchicken.
He meets with Mark, who tells him that they had lost respect for him.
With this he couldn't continue working there and he is now working in raw food.
After Gordon had been to the restaurant they returned some customer favourites to the menu and they changed chef in early 2009.
Yelp reviews were mostly positive with even meat eaters complimenting the food.
There are negative reviews on delivery and the odd dish here and there failing to impress.

We really appreciate (& we will dearly miss) all our loyal customers who have steadfastly supported us over the years.. Thanks to you, we can retire on a High Note =)" "*UPDATE: The process of selling the restaurant is taking a bit longer than expected so - as of this moment - it looks like we'll probably remain open until around mid-May. (We'll keep everyone posted, tho.) Again, THANK YOU soooo much to all our loyal customer who have continued to support us!!"
