What happened on the show
In the Drink sat on a golf course in Wayne, New Jersey, a bar and restaurant that Jorge and Solange Mora, a couple together nearly twenty years, had bought back in 2007. Ramsay found subpar food, a bleak atmosphere, and an owner who was often absent, with the business some 250,000 dollars in debt. His four-day visit ran from late May into early June of 2023, closing the restaurant briefly before a fresh reopening. The core work was lifting the food quality and warming up a room Ramsay found dreary, at an establishment whose golf-course setting should have been an asset rather than an afterthought. It was a quieter case than the reboot's louder blowups, more about an absentee owner reengaging with a restaurant that had been coasting on its location.
After the cameras left
In the Drink stayed the course. As of our latest verification the golf-course restaurant was open, its official site live with current hours and its Facebook page advertising live music on weekends. The absentee-owner problem Ramsay flagged evidently eased enough to keep the doors open, and the Wayne spot remains part of the Preakness Valley golf setting that gave it its niche in the first place.
