I read online that FOX will also make a version of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, which, if anyone has seen the BBC version, should be a far superior show to Hell's Kitchen.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I love this show! And Kitchen Nightmares. The BBC one is really fun to watch. Ramsay goes into restaurants that are failing, and gives advice on food, staff, customer service -- it's really exceptional.
Originally Posted By ilvdland I am so happy this show is back on the air. I do agree though, they are picking people for good tv, like Eddie with the kidney disease or Julia from the waffle house. I am dying to know what that ambulance business is all about.....
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA ^^Yes, it's called 'The F Word.' It has a bit of 'Hell's Kitchen' [from his restaurant in England,] with a bit of a behind-the-scenes with Gordon and his family, and then some celebrity hob-nobbing. It's another show that I like.
Originally Posted By fundog58 I couldn't believe how emotional this bunch is. There was more crying than in your average Lifetime movie. If they're this rattled now I can only imagine what they'll be like as the season progresses. Haven't they watched the show before?
Originally Posted By jonvn "I wish they would try to get more quality apprentices" What real chef in their right mind would go on this show? Kitchen Nightmares is great! I find it amazing that people will go into the restaurant business (which is very difficult) with absolutely no knowledge at all about it. And, oddly enough, the end up failing.

Originally Posted By DAR I realize they know what they're signing up for. I was just wondering how they got the people. And I know they provide bread at the tables but would you eat a little something before going there in case there's a chance you might be waiting a few hours.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Like a game show. People get tickets to be members of the audience. The show probably advises them to eat a snack beforehand so as to not starve. DAR -- why you so grumpy? The Brewers losing?
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<What real chef in their right mind would go on this show?>> But they're not "real chefs" yet. That's sort-of the point of the show (other than to watch people get yelled at by Ramsay); to find people who have the stuff to *be* real chefs. But they obviosly cast the show with a bunch of folks they know don't have the qualities or qualifications... like Aaron.
Originally Posted By velo I hate to say it but Aaron seem to have some psychological issues in addition to his physical problems. It kinda bothers me that they probably knew this and are exploiting them a bit, for the "entertainment value."
Originally Posted By hightp I don't know if any of you are still watching this show, but during Monday night's episode, Fox showed a preview of a new show coming on in the fall entitled Kitchen Nightmares. I don't know if this is the British production, but it appeared to have the same premise as that show. Gordon Ramsey goes around to failing resturants and reorganizes them. I know I'll watch a few episodes.
