Right on the heels of my previous posting about a failure of (another) Gordon Ramsay Restaurant – from Kitchen Nightmares in the UK that is, (see Another Gordon Ramsay Lover Goes Under) comes dire news of a similar vein in the US.

It seems that J Willy’s BBQ House, may be closing up at the end of January unless a buyer can be found. J Willy’s had apparently been up for sale at the time of airing of the show (they are now looking for a partner) and once again ,the cause seems to be the global credit crisis. According to the local newspaper, the South Bend Tribune, (follow the link here) the business will be taken off the market at the end of January.

At that point, who knows what will happen to the made-over restaurant and the interesting BBQ Sauce (side) business that resulted from input by Gordon Ramsay? Around the time of the show airing, I remember seeing the owner promoting the episode on the Fox forums, inviting people to the restaurant for the (long-delayed) screening and plugging to death the BBQ sauce.

Well it may be plugged for the last time at the end of January, we will wait and see.
