Nibbles of Tidbits, a Food Blog

Personally I’d never want to be on a show that places Chef Gordon Ramsay in the position of judging me — We’d probably end up in a food fight (that would hopefully end in laughs).  Overall I’m not a fan of the a-hole approach, but if you’re looking to be embarrassed on television, possibly humiliated, yelled at, or have food dumped on your head, casting is now happening for Kitchen Nightmares.  Not sayin’ the above will surely come to pass, but apply at your own risk and good luck!  Kitchen Nightmares, Hell’s Kitchen, hint, hint — It’s not going to be fun for you, but hopefully it will ultimately do good things.  The PR is posted below: 

Famed chef and Michelin Star winner Gordon Ramsay steps out of his own five-star establishments and into some of the country’s most unsanitary and unsuccessful restaurants to help them turn their businesses around or close their doors forever.

Each week, Chef Ramsay will attempt to turn one ordinary and empty restaurant into the most popular, sought-after venue in town. He reveals the behind the scenes realities of running a restaurant and wastes no time getting down to business – implementing signature menu items, modernizing décor and making the restaurant run as smoothly as possible. With his reputation on the line, Ramsay accepts nothing less than the best when it comes to the food, staff and customer service. While still prone to the explosive outbursts and spectacular confrontations familiar to fans, Ramsay reveals a sensitive and nurturing side as he coaches, cheers and challenges the restaurant staff, all the way from appetizers through dessert.

Will the restaurants follow Ramsay’s rules, or will they continue to stumble toward closure?

KITCHEN NIGHTMARES is a co-production of ITV Studios (formally Granada America) and Optomen in association with A. Smith & Co. Arthur Smith, Kent Weed and Patricia Llewellyn serve as executive producers.
