Chef Ramsay transforms Bruno’s in Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service episode 10, leaving staff emotional over the restaurant’s makeover

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service season 1 episode 10 aired on August 6, 2025, and featured the transformation of a food joint called Bruno’s.

The episode began with Chef Gordon Ramsay inspecting the restaurant and finding multiple hygiene and maintenance problems.

These included a dead rat in the basement, a fridge container with blood on it, greying beef, and greasy leftover potatoes.

Ramsay encouraged owner Tim to let his son, Nick, take on more responsibility while also helping with a new menu and deep cleaning.

He redesigned the inside to keep its 1920s style but put up new wallpaper and vintage photos. Outside, he added a bright red canopy with “Bruno’s” written on it to make the place stand out.

Staff members, including server Annemarie and Nick’s girlfriend Brie, had emotional reactions to the changes.

Brie said the decor made her “feel like crying” and hoped it would become a family gathering spot.

Tim said the transformation brought “tears to his eyes” and believed the improvements would attract customers. Ramsay also introduced a new menu and taught Nick how to prepare several dishes, setting the stage for a fresh chapter for the restaurant.
