Title: "House of Cards: The Belvedere Inn" Original Air Date (fictional): October 12, 2026 Location: Belleville, New Jersey Restaurant: The Belvedere Inn – "Fine Italian Dining, Family Feuded" Episode Synopsis Gordon Ramsay heads to Belleville, New Jersey, to rescue The Belvedere Inn , a once-proud Italian-American landmark that has become a local laughingstock. Owned by the estranged brother-sister duo, Frankie "The Fist" Marchetti (58, a hot-headed former amateur boxer) and Tina Marchetti-Spano (54, a bitter, micromanaging control freak), the restaurant has bled $400,000 in savings over three years. The dining room is a time capsule from 1987 – dusty plastic grapes hang from trellises, red-checkered tablecloths are stained, and a mechanical accordion player named "Sal" hasn't worked in a decade. Cold Open (0:00–3:00) The episode opens with Gordon sitting in his car, reviewing a letter from Tina's daughter, Angela (29), the unwilling hostess. "Chef Ramsay – my mom and uncle haven't spoken outside of dinner service in two years. The food is frozen, the customers are gone, and I'm about to lose my inheritance to a fryer fire. Please help before they kill each other – or me." Service is chaotic but functional
