Re: Kitchen Nightmares Season 2

I'm with everyone else, I couldn't believe the attitude of that guy, David. I think we got a peek at the reality behind the situation when Gordon said for David, it was all about the image and the TV show. I wonder if the guy showed up thinking he was going to play the show and the producers made sure that they took him down.

Re: Kitchen Nightmares Season 2

I finally watched "The Handlebar". While it was interesting, I wonder if they wouldn't have been more profitable just flipping to be just a bar. I mean, the bar when they walked in was very busy, so liquor sales were good. Just the dining area was empty. 4 LCDs means on game nights, they probably had decent grouping.

I mean, I might have been tempted as the owner (before Ramsey) to just empty/sell the tables, flip to doing cheese sticks and chicken wings put up a big screen and dart boards and say "we're a sports bar"

One thing that's hammered home every time I watch this show is that I NEVER want to go into the restaurant business...........and after seeing the conditions in some of the kitchens I'm not so gung ho about eating out anymore either.

Re: Kitchen Nightmares Season 2

I *almost* went into the restaurant business once (my wife owned a small place and I thought about buying out her partner, but they eventually sold the business). Sometimes I wonder what might have been.

Then I watch an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Running your own business can be a great thing, but running a restaurant involves a whole other level of things to worry about (especially if the head chef isn't one of the owners). Think of all those perishables.

Thanks for that Marianne—very funny.

Actually however little Gordon was obsessed with football, playing for the Rangers until he had a career-ending injury (knee I think, but I can no longer remember). Still pretty funny to think of him calling out his Mom for her lunches.
