Sandra Dee's From 24 Hours to Hell and Back Has Closed

Sandra Dee's Bar-B-Que & Seafood in Sacramento, California which appeared on season one of 24 Hours to Hell and Back has closed.   Sandra Dee's closed in July 2019 and posted the following message on their Facebook page:

After careful and thoughtful consideration, we have decided to close our restaurant but will continue to offer catering service.
We want to give a heartfelt thank you to this amazing city. Sac Town has given us a flurry of great memories and an abundance of love for the last two decades. Our loyal customers have become more like family.
We would also like to thank our staff whose hard work and commitment to our small business have helped make Sandra Dee’s a home away from home for us as well as our customers.
Last but not least, we would like to thank our business partners and vendors who allowed us to provide the best service and products to a wide variety of folks.
Our last official day will be July 20, 2019. During our final month of business, we are offering 20% off to celebrate twenty wonderful years of business. July 19th - 20th will be customer appreciation days that will include additional specials and discounts.
We would like to thank everyone again for choosing to spend their time and hard earned money with us. Running a restaurant is like inviting someone into your home and the people of Sacramento have made the best house guests anyone could ask for.
Thank you for your support.
Chow For Now

As stated in their message, they are still offering catering and their menu is available on their website.   You may recall from the original update that Sandra Dee's did not implement a lot of the changes suggested by Gordon Ramsay and they went back to their old menu.


Sandra Dee's has now been marked as 'Closed' on the 24 Hours to Hell and Back Updates page.

Fetch Bistro From 24 Hours to Hell and Back Has Closed

Fetch Bistro in Wichita, Kansas which appeared on season one of 24 Hours to Hell and Back has Closed.  A local article stated that the restaurant closed in April 2019 and leading up to the closure, the restaurant was only open on weekends.

Owner Greg Buss was quoted in that article stating, "It’s heartbreaking.  But it’s not set up for what we want to do. The location just isn’t right."  Greg also said things improved for a while, but it just didn't stick.

Greg was able to find a partner to open another Fetch Bar & Grill in Moundridge, but that location also ended up closing in October 2019.

The Old Coffee Pot From 24 Hours to Hell and Back Has Closed

The Old Coffee Pot in New Orleans, Louisiana which appeared on season one of 24 Hours to Hell and Back has closed.  The restaurant closed in February of 2019 and owner Dustin Palmisano said in a local article that it was due to declining business and a street construction project that caused business to drop dramatically.

Dustin also said, "The Gordon Ramsay (expletive) didn’t help. That didn’t close me, no. But it pissed some people off.”  Dustin thinks the renovation done on the show drove off some of the locals that used to frequent the restaurant.

A local restaurant name Cafe Beignet with multiple locations in New Orleans opened in the Old Coffee Pot location.  They named their restaurant at this location Cafe Beignet at Old Coffee Pot.
