Blake's Place
New Orleans, LA
Open. The rescue stuck and it continues to operate.
The short answer
Creole-Italian restaurant (Riverbend neighborhood, owner Blake Cressey, started as food truck 'Tasty Treat') confirmed open: 'We're very happy to report that Blake's Place is still open for business after Gordon Ramsay's intervention.' Google Reviews 4.2/83.
What happened on the show
Blake's Place began as a food truck called Tasty Treat, which owner Blake Cressey grew through social media into a brick-and-mortar Creole-Italian restaurant in the Riverbend neighborhood of New Orleans. By the time Ramsay visited for Season 9, the small neighborhood spot had gone downhill, struggling to turn out memorable dishes; one plate of pasta he was served came out badly over-salted, and he did not hide his disappointment. The episode followed a self-made owner who had built something real from a truck and then watched the quality slip once she had a full kitchen to run. Ramsay's work centered on helping Cressey deliver on the promise her social-media following had come for, sharpening the cooking at a restaurant that had grown faster than its consistency.
After the cameras left
Blake's Place made it through. As of our latest verification the Riverbend restaurant was confirmed still open for business after Ramsay's intervention, with solid Google review scores. A self-made owner who parlayed a food truck into a physical restaurant, then took a national scolding over an over-salted pasta, kept the Creole-Italian spot going, turning the Kitchen Nightmares visit into a genuine second wind rather than an ending. The Tasty Treat origin story got another chapter.
