Have you got problems at your restaurant? Well Gordon Ramsay is here to help. Well, he’s here to yell at you and give you stuff, if that helps, great.
That’s right, it’s the American version of Kitchen Nightmares. Much like its British predecessor, the U.S. version features Ramsay going around to restaurants that are in dire straights and trying to fix them up. Unlike the British version, his swearing is beeped and he’s got a ton of money to spend. So be prepared for some fake anger for the cameras and some expensive overnight renovations. Also be prepared for the restaurant to close soon after he leaves.
We dove into these four episodes (curated by Alex who is a huge fan).
- s01e22 – Cafe 36
- s02e02 – Flamangos
- s03e12 – Capri
- s05e16 – Amy’s Baking Company
In the comments, let us know whether Kitchen Nightmares makes you think you could own a restaurant or not.
If we can’t get any of the Queer Eye guys on Duck Dynasty, we should at least get Heidi Klum to host Toddlers and Tiaras.
It’s actually common knowledge amongst those who followed the story from its breakout on TV, that Amy’s Bonkers Crazyhouse just resold the cakes and desserts. Someone else made them.
You know, that makes a ton of sense. She can’t cook, it would be surprising if she was a great baker.
I watch the show– nice ep. choices, guys.
Thanks for recommending these. I have never sen the US version. The postproduction is almost so dense that it’s difficult to watch compared to the UK version.But that Flamangos episode was something else. And that daughter of theirs could not be more New Jersey if she tried.Btw, it is illegal in the U.S for the owner to take their employees’ tips: http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs…, specifically:”A tip is the sole property of the tipped employee regardless of whether the employer takes a tip credit. [1] The FLSA prohibits any arrangement between the employer and the tipped employee whereby any part of the tip received becomes the property of the employer. For example, even where a tipped employee receives at least $7.25 per hour in wages directly from the employer, the employee may not be required to turn over his or her tips to the employer.”
