It's kind of like the idea that Peter of Peter's Italian Restaurant, the hothead manager that Gordon Ramsay gave a tongue-lashing to last night on Kitchen Nightmares, may find people gunning for him. The biggest problem with Kitchen Nightmares' premiere episode is that they made the entire thing look too easy. Here is Gordon Ramsay, he takes a look at a failing restaurant for a day or two, pinpoints THE PROBLEM and a few problems that stem from THE PROBLEM, fixes them over the next couple days and the restaurant becomes a huge success. Last night's problem was the aforementioned Peter, a guy more interested in fighting and looking good (in his opinion) than doing right by the restaurant. Consequently the kitchen has fallen into disrepair which makes the chefs unable to do their jobs correctly. The fact that their ravioli isn't strictly speaking their ravioli - it was bought elsewhere and they're just boiling it - is completely irrelevant. But, this complaint of mine completely ignores the fact that I enjoy watching Gordon Ramsay yell at people, and seeing how disgusting some restaurant kitchens are is a good time too (though you wouldn't think that to be the case).
Man, am I happy that the new fall season is upon us. It's at this point in September that even watching bad shows is fun.
