24 Hours to Hell and Back · S3 E9
South Boulevard
Little Rock, Arkansas
Closed. The business shut its doors in 2020. The site is now home to The Hangout (unconfirmed).
Street address sits in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
The short answer
Korean fusion restaurant ('SoBo') at 10840 Maumelle Blvd was evicted for unpaid rent; per Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, locks were changed in mid-Feb 2020, meaning it closed before its Feb 2020 episode even aired. A successor concept called 'The Hangout' was reported at the address in secondary sources but not independently confirmed within budget.
What happened on the show
Ramsay's stop in the Little Rock area was a Korean inspired restaurant whose owner openly admitted he lacked the experience and confidence to run it, backed by a cook with no real knowledge of Korean food. With the business heavily in debt, the surveillance found little to build on, and Ramsay went undercover as a member of the production crew to watch how the kitchen actually functioned. Across the twenty four hours he threw everything he had at turning the operation around, though this was, unusually, a rescue running against a business already past saving. His argument was that debt this deep, paired with owners who admit they are out of their depth, leaves almost nothing for even a compressed transformation to grip.
After the cameras left
It was already over before it aired. South Boulevard closed in February 2020, the weekend before its own episode broadcast, evicted for unpaid rent and stripped of its liquor license over unpaid taxes. Reviews had actually been mostly positive beforehand, which makes the financial collapse the whole story. A successor concept called The Hangout was reported at the 10840 Maumelle Boulevard address in secondary sources but could not be independently confirmed. The Korean room Ramsay tried to rescue never got to show viewers whether the fix had taken.
