I have to admit, I have never seen the show until the night this aired and I happened to see it completely by accident. I can not recall a time in my life when I sat in my family room, watching the television, with my mouth hung open (stupefied) with my sandwich in my hand - for a solid 26 minutes. When the second commercial break came, I looked at my Wife and said - "This is the craziest sh*t I have ever seen...." She had the same, stunned look on her mug as well..... |
You guys work your magic and bring them to CP

If it was a money laundering scam, why would they want to be on National T.V?

Apparently the crazy bitch also wrote a fake review on Yelp defending herself:

Yesterday when I saw this I watched the vids, then visited their FB page. They had about 900 likes I think when I looked.... now they have almost 20k.

Oh Crazy Amy.. you dumb bitch

This old man too dumb to cut this gunt loose will end up beat down.
People will go there just to egg them on and eventually someone won't put up him/her pushing them and calling them out. I won't feel sorry for him because he's a twisted ****ing stick as well but it's inevitable... |

The restaurants are reaching out for help. They need the exposure, guidance and help. It's really not rocket science though when the business is empty and they cut corners with the food and staff, the profits are going to be in the tank. What gets me is when the owners of the drowning business legitimately think the food isn't the problem. Of course it is. If I was in that position, I would hope it was because the food sucked and I needed some help and guidance. If the food doesn't suck, and the staff is competent, there's a much bigger issue if there's no business. |

Well, the devil is in the details. Ramsey is an asshole and an elitist prick. But... When the owner is keeping tip money... That's insane. Just... Insane. Making people wash his car? Insane... Found himself a little trophy wife (some prize), and let her run her dream business. But she's rotten too. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if the food was actually okay, but the atmosphere was just poison. |

Even after he's helped them, they go under. Literally every single restaurant from Seasons 1 and 2 of Kitchen Nightmares is now out of business. The interesting thing is that from the British version, most of the restaurants...some of them under new ownership, still remain open. |
Quote:
Yes, Ramsay seems more calm and collected in the British version. However, so our the restaurant owners. I don't think I've ever seen a British version where the owners of the restaurant are as completely helpless as these 2. |
Quote:
I live just across the freeway from it. Have been there twice, both times for dessert after leaving the movie theater in the same plaza. Both times it was fine, however the owner really is a dick, and you can tell the employees tend to tip-toe around the place a lot. |

they pretend like $14 an hour, the max they claim they pay, is good for a server
In Illinois the server minimum wage is $4.95 an hour. If you have just two tables in 1 hour and both of them have small bills of $25 and tip 20% ($5 a table)...you just made $14.95 an hour. The meltdown on this particular episode was a $10 tip that the restaurant kept... It is a despicable practice. If they don't want their servers making tips then whatever...but advertise that the business absolutely takes no tips whatsoever. A tip free environment. |
Quote:
I can think of one, the inn where the staff essentially told the owners what to do, hung out at the restaurant bar in their off hours and things were all kinds of messed up......unsurprisingly the owner ended up selling shortly after. One of my favorites was the lady who had the soul food restaurant, one of the very few times I've seen Ramsay try the food and go 'WOW." |
Wait staff is paid 8-14 dollars an hour. Nowhere in that statement does it say they receive tips though. Just that they get paid more per hour.
|
Quote:
LOL at $8-14 per hour...that's a broad range. In Scottsdale, the average burger flipper at In N Out makes $11 an hour, seeing as how these people use logic, I wouldn't expect a single server to make more than $10 an hour. |
I don't mind the show, but I just have a hard time believing that the food is that bad at every restaurant he goes to in the US.
I mean, the food is so bad at every single place that he spits it out, calls it "dreadful," and pretends like he's been poisoned. I've eaten at a lot of places, but I've never had a reaction that extreme to anything I've ever eaten. I just wish that "reality" shows would get a little more real and a little less scripted/set shots. |
Quote:
The food hasn't ALWAYS been the problem. But these restaurants aren't calling him up because they are so damn successful. |
With everything that has happened, these people have racked up publicity that you simply cannot buy. They have been featured on TV everywhere, the Washington Post, Forbes...etc........so if you buy into the notion that there is truly no bad publicity.....they have done well in that regard.
With as much attention as they've drawn, people are going to the restaurant just as a curiosity, to see if they can see some display of craziness. Its almost turning into the enthusiasm shown for those types of restaurants where people eagerly go and eat to get insulted by the staff. |
Went through 100 employees in one year....
That's an average of a new employee every 4 days. |

Their problem, IIRC, was that while the food was good it was being cooked fresh and then frozen and their portion sizes were too big. They weren't making any money because they were giving too much food away. |
2.5 to 5 times that national average rate for servers
... well no ****ing shit servers get paid $2.13 an hour in Texas. BUT THEY GET TIPS. no wonder the service is dog shit...if a server is making a standard rate and working for those lunatics...of course they aren't going to bust their asses to be friendly or get refills...it simply doesn't matter; they get paid the same no matter what |
I wouldn't be a waiter anywhere for $14 an hour.
I always made at least, on average, $20 an hour and more when I worked in bigger cities. Steak and Shake waitresses/waiters make more than $14 an hour. and that's the HIGHEST they say they pay. So most likely, with all of their turnover, everyone is probably A LOT CLOSER to the $8 threshold than the $14. |

They are walking distance from my house...drove by yesterday on my way to an appointment...couldn't see if there was much activity inside, but there were a number of people gawking in through the windows. |

Ramsay - Judo Chef:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_XDW6xo5scU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Go to about the 45 second mark - Ramsay's a pretty chill cat and I get the feeling he could probably kick a lot of asses if he felt so inclined. |

Small world...I live just northeast of there. Hit up Butterfield's quite a bit more often than I should. |
I didn't feel like formatting this in here, so I will just link to it. It is a "point by point" case against Samy and how they think he is laundering money through this restaurant.
Link It is nothing official, just somebody who thinks that is what is going on. Quote:

He simplifies the menu with good tasting dinners. He looks to see how the staff in the kitchen works, Alot of the time people are just not coordinated or people are just assholes making others miserable in a hot ass kitchen. Some of the food he has said hey, this is alright, this is pretty good. I know i have seen him absolutely love desserts in some of them restaurants. |

The thing that frustrates me most is people who have NEVER worked in a restaurant who all of a sudden decide that they want to own one. If you're willing to put in the huge investment that owning a restaurant requires....it would be well worth it to at least spend a year working in a restaurant similar to the type that you want to open up, being in different positions, trying to get a broad view of what being in charge requires. |

When you call in Gordon, let him do his magic and just say, YES SIR! He will help alot. Thats what i dont get, your the one that called him to help you, let him do what he does best. |
Most peoples menues are simply to larage and complex, so they try and prep the majority of it up frontr and throw it in the freezer, which makes it un fresh. I ran a bar, and have been in thr business my whole life, it's just not that difficult. You just have to have some common sense.
|
Just watch Gordon's reaction when Sammy and Amy call what he is doing a "show."
He's not putting on a show... he actually cares about what hes doing. |
Dumb **** could have probably drowned her in a creek and got away with it if he had'nt attracted all this attention to himself...

It ended up that Ramsay saw how shitty their food was, expressed criticism, and ultimately these two r-tards poured gasoline on the fire. |
