The two-hour special, Gordon Ramsey’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back: Save Our Town will show how Ramsey renovated local businesses culminating in a grand reopening of the town at the end of the makeovers.
Tuesday night at 8 on Fox, Gordon Ramsey helps rebuild local businesses in Ellicott City, Md., a historic city that lies in the valleys of the Tiber and Patapsco Rivers, just west of Baltimore.
Ellicott City was devastated by massive flooding in 2008 and again in 2016.
The two-hour special, Gordon Ramsey’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back: Save Our Town will show how Ramsey renovated local businesses culminating in a grand reopening of the town at the end of the makeovers.
Pete Ferraro, the marketing director at WBFF, Sinclair’s Fox affiliate in Baltimore, said Ramsey, “sees the pain in these people and he is just on a genuine mission to help not just the restaurants, but some other businesses. He was just here to help and he brought in the Maryland National Guard to help renovate some of these places.”
Ferraro said Ramsey and his production crew came in February, just prior to the coronavirus, and of course word got out on social media, with residents posting pictures and wondering what was going on. The station got some exclusive interviews with Ramsey another access to the behind-the-scenes of the show.
“It’s a big event for us the whole day. We are going to have our morning news staging a preview of what Gordon is doing here, clips of the show and then we are going to do a follow-up on Fox 25 news at 10. We were really trying to eventize the whole day, hoping to have some nice flow from the morning into prime into late news.”
