Toms River: There have been rumblings all week about Gordon Ramsay taping a show at a restaurant here in town. Tonight we saw the production crew setting up at Caneda’s White Rooster on Fischer Boulevard. It has been confirmed Chef Ramsay and crew are filming an episode of “24 Hours to Hell and Back” at Caneda’s. There were production vehicles, tents, producers, and film crews all over the property tonight.
No word on when the episode will air, but the series attempts to rescue struggling restaurants across the USA. Starring chef Gordon Ramsay, the show features his travels across the United States, visiting failing restaurants in his 70-foot-long “Hell On Wheels” semi-truck that unfolds into a high-tech mobile kitchen, where the chefs are retrained. At first, a team is sent in to secretly survey the restaurant, with Ramsay eventually going undercover inside. He then tries to address the issues and revive each restaurant by retraining staff and refreshing the menu, culminating in a relaunch of the restaurant with a grand re-opening to the public after extensive renovations—all in just 24 hours.

Greg Bleeker I am sure he is at the Hilton Garden Inn in Brick.
There is an RV onsite
Greg Bleeker heard it’s one in Toms River, just don’t know which one.
I think he stays in his trailer lol
Meghan Schaab

Reigne Cheatham
Kati Nacinovich
Crystal DUDE!!! I just drove by that before and I was like, “what the hell is going on?!”
Kati Nacinovich lol well here’s your answer!!! I obviously had no idea you were wondering!!! Lmao
Crystal CRAZY!!! I love Gordon Ramsay!!
Kati Nacinovich you should try to go while he’s there!!!!!
Crystal Way too nervous to do that!
Kati Nacinovich omg!!!!!! But you’ll meet any country singer if possible?!? Go try to meet the man!!!!!!!!!!
Crystal I’m not dressed for Gordon Ramsay
You can’t get close to him. He’s working. But was a total blast to watch.
Rachael Pounds Pabon did u just take this? I’ll do a drive by at midnight lol!
Was there all day, left about 10. Yes the truck is still there. They will be there all night
Carol Illiano
Karen Feliciano I LOVE him!!
Joke
Maria Vicendese- Birchler
Steve Dickerson this is right around the corner ?
Sandi Joy oh yeah!
That’s scary…… Bill Schaab
Kelly Daletto
A year in and already they offer 50% off coupons. Now this.
If he’s showing up to do a show, you probably don’t want to eat there just yet 🙂
Ken Gouge it’s the owner, she’s out of her league. I told her last year. Wait until you see the secrets the show uncovers.
She had a big $$$ backer…. Owner treated me poorly (when she had small shop) on biz matter. I won’t eat there, even for free People never forget how you made them feel.
Donna Tancordo, check out the comments on the food, service, overall experience, and the owner.
Laurie Dix-Mckenna

That place was good when it first opened….I went 2 weeks ago for some ropa vieja and it was unreal what I saw…will never go back
Alex Rodriguez what did you see?
I called for a Togo order, when I opened it up it was a tiny portion of meat that looked like it was burnt to the bottom of a pot and scraped off…with about two ice cream scoops worth of rice….it was bad….I grew up eating Cuban food…this was not it…plus for $23 dollars I can do way better in West New York…
Alex Rodriguez well that explains the need for Gordon Ramsay lol
Ginny Procaccini the place was empty…2 tables at 8pm….that should have been my first clue…lol
Mike Pizzi
Tommy Vouglas ???!!!!!!!!!!
Wow this should be interesting
Christine Peterson Weigand
Sue Cafiero-Skow yes!!! We saw him filming last night! So cool!!
Raymond Dibenedetto
Hopefully he can undouche the owner once and for all.
Thank goodness. A lot of this hype over these empanada places is really too much. They cheapen out on authentic empanadas. I personally wouldn’t spend the money they charge for these things.
They need to remember their roots and the quality of the food not the mass production! #gordonramsay
Hildi Alfonso have you been to canedas? Because it’s definitely not an empanada place.
Keith Morris it’s not an authentic Cuban place either. Only a few Cuban items with the majority being weird fusion dishes or not Cuban whatsoever
Keith Morris yes and it started as one. I know they’ve added more to the menu. Still nothing special. Just my opinion.
Adam Aguiar
Liz Calabro
John Luty
Dana Mastronardy did u meet him!??
Kevin Bellavance
Brittany Bellavance gordon will turn the place around
Joseph the film crew you saw yesterday!! ?
Doug King
Teri Lynn
Are they still there
Jennifer Schipani Lebria isn’t this your friends place ?!
Ashley Rahn yes it is…
I was in there for lunch in the spring and the food was great. The place looked beautiful. Are they in such financial trouble already that they need Gordon Ramsay in there to “fix things up”? It was supposed to be a restaurant featuring authentic Cuban cuisine, not another beer, burger and empanada joint. Toms River has enough of those already.
Ellen Jeyschune I was in there 2 weeks ago for dinner and it was not good. Server was rude and the food was far from authentic Cuban cuisine. It needs some help
Ellen Jeyschune exactly what I was wondering ??♀️
Carrie Panza Lavin maybe in her quest to turn a profit (and pay back her partners) she’s trying to be too many things to too many people. That being said, I’ve been waiting until the end of summer to go back and I’ll do that soon.
I was going to say, if Gordon Ramsay is visiting, it’s not a good sign lol… good luck!
Bette Seaglass I know… Yikes.
But its new and nice inside and food was good. So ???
Suzanne Guarino when’d the last time you went? I heard the food has taken a dive and it’s way overpriced. Not many authentic Cuban items on the menu either.
Not a good sign at all. something like 75% of the places he visits end up shutting down (there are web sites regarding the aftermath of his visits/help)– Many go back to their old ways, also.
Denese Zakaras
I hope it has positive long lasting results!
Wow. Awesome. I was afraid there was something wrong the business cuz passed there on Saturday evening and there was a big truck parked horizontally across the front and it looked dark. Thought that was weird. How cool!!!
Ian McGrath
Joey Nardo
Mary Lou Stypolkowski
Can people get near there? I want to see if I can meet him.
Wendy Lee Mitchell yes, he’s nobody.
Wendy Lee Mitchell he’s not the president.
Dave Meyer I like him I enjoy his shows
J.r. McCall
Denise Adubato this explains it.
christina g.
Samantha Aloise Mlotkiewicz (Sammi Brach)
Charles W Mason IV
Wow
Randy Junior Nancy Plis
Linda George DePonte
We there twice and while the place was beautiful it was supposed to be a Cuban place!
This whole fusion concept bullshit is over played and half the menu wasn’t even Cuban food! I felt the prices were way to high for the area and the portions were very small!
$15 dollars for a thin cuban sandwich is outrageous!
This cuban restaurant has korean shirt rib, moroccan lamb, Vietnam banh mi, and halibut which is no where near being close to Cuba!
I think the chef they hired got the owners off the original concept.
Damn……I was gonna sign up!!!! I’m so mad now!!!
I saw the tents today. Hope it was good for them
Daniel Ackermann
Dawn Farris MY MANS
Jessica Nicole Rivera we should go to reopening
Darren Cassidy
Brian Joseph 3 people sent me this, not sure if i should just go there and see if he’s there lol
I wanna meet the legend
might as well lol
I’ll jet by after work tomorrow, but doubt that I’d meet him lol
They’re probably done filming and he’s probably gone by now though lol
Darren Cassidy he’s there till tomorrow night dawwwgggg
Kristy Bourg good I’ll stop on my way to class tomorrow lol
Darren Cassidy go go go let me know
Meeting him would be surreal, dont think I’ll be able to get there until around 7pm, he’s inspired me a lot.
Brittany Ashlyn Cronk
Lindsay McKenzie
Michele Scivoletti Andrews ?
Gina Marullo still wont be a nightclub.
Michele Scivoletti Andrews nope ?
Gina Marullo heard from a worker she is turning it into a burger place. But not sure. She lives off of drama and attention.
Michele Scivoletti Andrews omg…perfect for the show then!
Gina Marullo lol
I went there once about a month after they opened. The wait staff was nice but the food was just ok. Way overpriced. There are other places to get good Spanish food for less.
Joseph Acevedo wait, do they have Spanish or Cuban food?
Tracey Rose they have Cuban food. Should I have called it Latino or Caribbean food?
Where are those other places to get good Cuban food
Amanda Bianco
Mike Bianco I saw this! But they’ll be done before we get there ?
Todd Andrews Pamela Thogode Andrews Caroline Lopez
Rick Thogode
you guys have eaten there before, right?
Tracey Rose that’s where I choked on the pork
Todd Andrews great memories of a place…
Tracey Rose I have never tried it
We got on Jersey shore when it was Rivolis , maybe we can get on this one too !
Lisa Caputo???
We insure them. 🙂
Lisa Perna did you see the comments?
Lisa Caputo yes
Lisa Caputo And you didn’t know they were looking for people to come and eat at their restaurant for the show but I heard it’s already filled
Tomorrow is the last day it’s been going on since Saturday
Steven Hartnett
Melissa Schneider !!
Stevie Lynn ??
Caity Lampe
Mindy Ortiz I so guessed this! that’s so crazy that they’re going to renovate that restaurant that was just built it’s beautiful inside!
I didn’t even think that place was open!! Anyone actually go there?
Melanie Nau Keating yes and the food is brilliant!
Melanie Nau Keating I haven’t ever been there, but the show they’re filming is when a restaurant has either awful food, a totally unsanitary kitchen, or things like that… usually they shut down the restaurant with people still sitting down eating inside, because the food isn’t safe to eat, and the way Gordon Ramsay gets in to taste the food is in disguise of some kind.
I’ve never been there, so I am not in any way commenting on this restaurants food…
But I know from watching every episode thus far, the restaurants usually have all kinds of health code violations or spoiled food, not just financial issues…
It will be nice to see what they make of it, and hopefully whatever issues they have will be fixed!
Heather Keegan
who cares
Dammit. They emailed me back about coming but I never got the confirmation.
Steve Ciangetti me too! Sabrina the producer said I’d get follow up email last weekend.and I never heard back.

Literally right next to my house. They rented my parking lot out to them so they can film. I had no idea it was him until now lol
Omg I love that show!!!!!! I watch it alllllll the time, I can’t wait to see it when it airs! My daughter loves watching his cooking shows with me, the appropriate ones lol, she’s going to freak when she hears he’s here!
Heather Keegan schweeettttt

Nico La you can prob hear him screaming & he’s prob throwing shit lol
Stacey Bischof lmfao me and Mike are gunna bring him a plate of my famous taco salad mix… See what he thinks…… “I wouldn’t feed that to my dead cat” (throws on ground) me: (attacks him from behind and shoves the taco salad from the ground down his throat) “eat my taco you dick” lmfaooo
Supposedly the grand re-opening episode is being filmed today. Wish I knew sooner. I would have had to go and find him.
I wonder if he’s going to pop into his AC restaurant since he’s so close

Barbara Pendyk Bradey The food is delicious. Hopefully this will give them the boost they need to stay in business. #SupportLocal
Barbara Pendyk Bradey it’s actually pretty good from what erin tells me. It was more of a fine dining restaurant. But not an ideal setting on Fischer

The show does pay for it all. They usually decorate yes
