Anybody watch this show? Somehow I find the episodes abroad more interesting and fun than the ones featuring restaurants in the US.

love it . i enjoyed a rare fri night in with the kids - and I watched 2 episodes .... I just luv when clueless people get yelled at by Gordon ... I admit ... it is kinda a simple show - but sometimes people can be so stupid . (they dont see their own inner - issues etc) .

Both episodes fri night were enjoyable to me - but not hugely memorable . ( i have seen dead mice and silly owners before) - hehe

I saw onw where they went into a bathroom...and they had glow in the dark stains on the CEILING...I dont know what it was...but the bathroom was gross.

The one with the Jamaican Dr. who also ran a rstaurant with her son was cool to. Reminded me of someone I know . She was serving up nappy dried up jerk chicken...ramsay had to show her how to do it.

And then there was the guy who cried and quit cut he was an chef of ialian food/pasta and couldn't make pasta ...or italian food.

it's one of my favourite shows

one of my favourites is 'peters italian'

YOU FUCKIN' BLOOWJOOOOBBBB!!!!

haha

I enjoy watching this show....and Gordon's approach seems to be very simple..

1) Clean...spotless kitchen

2) Simple menu

3) Fresh ingredients

4) Good communication between the servers, the chefs working the line, and the head chef

5) Creative promotion.

Interesting thing i've discovered......pretty much all the restaurants appearing on the show have closed. So either Gordon couldn't save them, or they were just too far gone to save. One restaurant owner from New Jersey committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington bridge...

Gordon Ramsay 'Kitchen Nightmares' Chef Commits Suicide

A New Jersey restaurateur once featured on Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares" -- and told by the TV chef that his debt-ridden eatery was "about to swim down the Hudson" -- was eerily found floating in the river after jumping off the George Washington Bridge.

Joseph Cerniglia, the 39-year-old owner of Campania in Fair Lawn, is the second chef to commit suicide after appearing on one of Ramsay's high-heat, reality-cooking series.

Cerniglia -- once the executive chef at Manhattan's famed Gallagher's Steak House -- had been deeply in debt when his Italian eatery was featured in the first season of "Kitchen Nightmares" in 2007.

During the series, foul-mouthed celebrity foodie Ramsay would verbally bash down-on-their-luck restaurateurs in hopes of getting them back on track.

"Your business is about to f--king swim down the Hudson," the brash Brit berated Cerniglia, a married dad of three who lived in Pompton Lakes.

Ramsay fumed about the eatery's huge portions, lousy food quality, poor service and the sophomoric antics of the kitchen staff.

"Why did you become a chef-owner if you haven't a clue how to run a business?" Ramsay railed at Cerniglia.

Cerniglia conceded that "Campania definitely has its share of problems, big problems."

Whoa, that guy used to be the executive chef at Gallagher's Steak House? I've eaten there before and the food is to die for That guy had to be some kind of decent at cooking if he was once executive chef there. But that's sad how he committed suicide over that. So it looks like his restaurant never recovered since the show featured his restaurant in 2007 if he just committed suicide in 2010.

outside of the jamaican restaurant in Brighton England, I don't know of another restaurant that's been on the show that is still in business...but I don't think its Ramsay's fault...most of the restaurants are deep in debt when he gets there, and I suspect that after he leaves, the owners fall back on bad habits

sorry, my bad...apparently not all of the restaurants are now closed...he has revisited several of them, but many of them subsequently closed

Hmm, so do you think the show targets restaurants that are on their way to kaput on purpose? Even if they know before hand that with Ramsey's help that they most likely won't recover?

Makes me laugh how alot of the people on the show run there own place yet couldnt make beans on toast!! eye love the show never miss it.yanks r so funny!! "im a great chef" then taste the food & havnt a clue whats in there mouths.

yeah i saw one of those episodes where he re-visits a resturaunt about a year later, and sometimes he discovers they've slipped a part of the old menu or decor back into the resturaunt.
