The real bat-shit crazy people are the ones who watch Kitchen Nightmare and the worst of the worst of the worst are those who watch it and think it's real. The restaurants are real and the conditions are bad, but the drama is faked.

I seriously doubt this was faked. Who would willingly destroy their business and reputation to be on a crappy show?

I'd be willing to wager that the owners are, in fact, bat-shit crazy.

Tell us what happened to you personally without exaggeration.

It had to do with a previous job I had, which happened to be at yelp. You should hear the kinds of things she says to people when they told her they worked at yelp.

The other experience was when I went to the theater which is in the same complex as her establishment. I stopped by and got a dessert just to check it out and see if she was as crazy as she sounded over the phone. They didn't do anything to me personally. I saw the way they treated customers if they complained and the clips on the show are not far from the truth.

The husband is 90% crazy. The wife is 200% batshit insane crazy.

Oh why would anyone do stupid drama queen reality tv bullshit? Other than the $20K-$200K per episode and potential to be famous, I can't see how anyone could be incentivised to act like a hormone-filled animal when in front of camera.

She kinda turns me on. Not because she's particularly attractive (not bad vs plain uglies or fatties), but how crazy she must be in bed.
The crazy ones who look to marry men 30 years older are often hoping the guy drops dead soon or can't get it up very often, because they are ice cold in bed or just hate sex. They do it because it gets them what they want (which is not an orgasm).

I didn't say it doesn't happen (even on this show), only that this case seems to be pretty true to real life. From all accounts, their behavior on camera is little different than off camera.

Besides, according to them, they've invested over $1mil in the restaurant. I really don't think that an episode of a little viewed reality show would be worth pissing it all away.

Wow, keeping the servers tips?, is that even legal? I guess they conveniently forget to tell the customers that on the menu judging by their reaction when Ramsey announces it to the people in the restaurant, then the old dude trying to F with Ramsey, "I'm the bad dude here", yea, OK pops, what a shitbag. Didn't get to see part three but since asswipe Amy refused any of Ramsey's criticism I doubt it ended well.

Damn, they removed the videos...

I saw parts 1 and 2, 3 was gone but I snapped on the TV and conveniently FOX had it running right where I left off, Ramsy tries to sit down with them to explain the problems, their attitude, (over 100 people quit/fired in 1 yr), the problems with the food, the problems with keeping tip money and paying the waitress's close to minimum wage, bitch throws another hissy fit, Ramsey does "something I've never done before" and walks off, "If she cannot accept criticism I can't help them". Total assholes, the husband actually had a busboy go out back and wash his car, the restaurant is being propped up by his cash and when that goes out so will that sorry excuse of a restaurant..

I once made the mistake of accepting a job with a husband and wife owned company. During the interview they seemed completely normal. I quit the first week because they were insane. Never again

I did the same thing except they were going through a divorce at the time, quit after a month, they would get into blow-out at the shop on a regular basis.

Actually realized I did it once more, for a small restaurant. Quit after 2 days because the owner was having me come in at 7am, for minimum wage, and sending me home after 2 hours. He would blow up at me for things that were his fault.. sometimes he'd remember and apologize other times not. Being new, and with his tempter, I didn't correct him.

Not just husband/wife I think any time working for an organization with a single person in charge of everything is a bad idea.. because most people are crazy

Damn. I don't have access to TV right now and was really looking forward to watching the insanity described.

You cant be serious. Did you read my post above pretty much confirming that I have seen all of this happen in person? She was a nutcase that went after Yelp as well. This is about as real as you can get.

OK, so one show possibly isn't faked. That's one show against hundreds of reality TV shows. After I posted my first post in the thread, yours popped up. My point still stands against the rest of them, unless people go and research the shows first to check that they're based on fact, which I highly doubt is part of the entertainment value.

I think someone would have to be certifiable to trash their business like that, especially when there's someone with a camera recording the whole incident. Of course that doesn't necessarily rule it out, but bear in mind there was also a person with a camera filming the cook's reaction inside the kitchen. Perhaps someone (certifiable?) thinks that any press is good press.

What a couple of dumbasses. You work to get the fuck away from your spouse, not so you can see each other's ugly ass outside of the home too! Complete failure.

I think it has less to do with faking than with knowing how to produce and edit good television. Notice in this case they had cameras installed throughout the restaurant, so when the lady stormed off they could capture her talking to herself. Ramsay, as host, is a character meant to provoke strong reactions (though he was tamer than usual here).

When the owners locked the doors and didn't show up, he went and interviewed former employees. From the sounds of it, someone got them on the phone and talked some sense in to them and/or 'spun' a tale for them to come back ('Hey, yesterday didn't go so well let's have Ramsay just observe one night and start over..' then they agreed to sit down and talk about starting again.

Ramsay, not getting much beside anger from the owners, ups the entertainment value by making announcements to the guests and provoking more reaction from the owners. etc. etec.
