I’ve been watching Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, the UK and US formats, and they’re funny. The funniness increases proportionally with the foibles and madness of the people running the restaurants. The formula is that Gordon Ramsay goes to a restaurant that is in financial trouble, and after much drama recommends that they:
- Find a niche
- Use local products
- Keep it simple
- Think about portion size
- Keep management efficient
- Fire or remedy incompetent staff
Which is every episode in a nutshell. With swearing and idents with whooshing knives. Mental people are well funny.
My favourite episode is apparently available here. Because it all works out well. Aaahh.
